When Gu Xuan was in closed-door training to break through to the next realm, a commotion arose within the Branch Sect and the news of the three elders being killed was completely spread, causing countless Branch Sect disciples to feel a chill.

The three King Level Martial Cultivator s were the backbone of the entire sect. With how weak the branch sects were, even though it was inextricably linked to Sun Tong and the other two King Level Martial Cultivator s, they could only survive with the support of Sun Tong and the other two.

Now that Sun Tong and the other two had been killed, although Gu Xuan was indeed stronger than the other three, he was still just a temporary Division Head. It was one thing to be able to stay here for half a year, but half a year later, without the support of the King Level Martial Cultivator, what should they do?

The first would be for the sect to give up on these mines and bring all of them back. The second would be for the sect to use these people as cannon fodder until the appearance of the King Level Martial Cultivator, when they can control the sect protecting Spiritual Treasure.

If it was the first type, they could be considered to have broken out of the Realm of Chaos and would no longer be in any danger. But if it was the second type, then most of the people here would probably die, with a death rate of 99%.

It was just that in this period of time, Sun Tong and the other two owed them too many Fire Condensing Pill s, if they applied to leave now, all their hard work would be for naught.

Not long after, the second news spread out, and Division Head wanted to send out all the Fire Condensing Pill that he owed. When many people thought that it was just a rumor, Qin Fan walked out with the twelve thousand Fire Condensing Pill in the warehouse.

Although the Fire Condensing Pill didn't reach the amount they owed, it still reduced their losses by eighty percent.

After obtaining a large number of Fire Condensing Pill, everyone was overjoyed. The reason they chose to stay was to retrieve the deducted Fire Condensing Pill. Now that they have obtained the Fire Condensing Pill, isn't that the perfect time to apply to return?

It could be said that they could come and go as they wished. Of course, in order to prevent the sect from leaving together, they would choose to detain a portion of the Fire Condensing Pill, but this trump card had actually been destroyed by Gu Xuan himself …

"The Sect Leader is too rash!" Qin Fan stood within the Main Hall and paced back and forth, his face full of anxiety and helplessness.

On the second day after he distributed the Fire Condensing Pill, dozens of people came to Main Hall, requesting for them to leave. After that, more and more people had replied, and on the third day, there were already seventy percent of the disciples!

Qin Fan could imagine how empty the sect would be when seventy percent of the Peak Sovereign Level disciples left. Even if Gu Xuan was any stronger, he might not necessarily be able to escape the fate of being annihilated by the other sects.

Outside the Main Hall, several hundred figures sat densely packed. These people were all Peak Sovereign Level disciples who wanted to leave.

Ka-cha! *

Gu Xuan slowly walked out of the secluded room as the door finally opened.

"Master!" Qin Fan bowed respectfully towards Gu Xuan, and was just about to report what had happened, but he was suddenly startled. He could feel that the aura around Gu Xuan's body had become a little stronger than before.

It had only been three days of closed door cultivation, yet Gu Xuan's strength had improved once again. Although he was not clear about the extent of Gu Xuan's improvement, he felt that it was not too small, but wasn't Gu Xuan just breaking through recently?

In these three days, Gu Xuan had gone from Eight Stars Sovereign Level to the peak of the eighth star in two and a half days, and in the last half day, he had spent eleven thousand Fire Condensing Pill, and broke through to the Nine Stars Sovereign Level realm!

With the help of a huge amount of Fire Condensing Pill, and with the foundation that Ji Shenhai had laid for him, Gu Xuan could almost reach the same realm in three days!

"What's going on outside?" Gu Xuan swept a glance outside the Main Hall area and asked after seeing the dense number of figures.

"They want to leave the branch sect and return to the main sect." Qin Fan said somewhat helplessly, "These people knew that the three elders died, so they felt that the sect was in danger. That's why they decided to leave and take refuge."

"How many people are there?" Gu Xuan nodded indifferently and asked again.

"Already … Seventy percent! Qin Fan swallowed his saliva, he had already imagined Gu Xuan's angry expression after hearing the news.

However, Gu Xuan merely gave a casual grunt, as though no matter how many people walked, they all caused him to not move an inch.

"Is Sect Leader not worried?" Qin Fan asked somewhat anxiously.

"What are you worried about? "It's just a bunch of trash. If they're gone, then so be it." Gu Xuan scoffed, "Come, let's go outside and settle things."

"Fine." Qin Fan nodded helplessly.

When Gu Xuan and Qin Fan walked out of the hall, it immediately caused a commotion amongst the hundred or so people who were sitting cross-legged inside. According to reason, if they wanted to leave, they only needed to greet the branch sect master and they would be able to leave immediately.

"All of you want to leave?" Gu Xuan's eyes swept over them and asked.

Quite a few people were stabbed by Gu Xuan's gaze and immediately lowered their heads. Previously, Gu Xuan had defeated three King Level Expert s in a 1v3, which left too deep of an impression in their hearts.

"That's right, we want to leave." The crowd went silent for a moment. Finally, a black-faced young man mustered up his courage and stood up with an angry look on his face.

"Senior Brother Gu, you are the pride of the heavens, you can be fearless, have the sect support you, but we are all just small fry, if you kill all the elders, that is equivalent to leaving us to fend for ourselves, do we want to stay here and die?"

"Yeah, without the King Level Martial Cultivator controlling the Defensive Spiritual Treasure, we would all die."

"He is really relaxed now. What should we do …"

"Didn't the sect rules state that you can leave as long as you tell the Division Head …"

All of the ordinary Martial Cultivator s were originally full of jealousy towards the geniuses in the sect, but now that Gu Xuan had touched their interest, they were even more dissatisfied towards Gu Xuan.

"Shut up!" Gu Xuan suddenly shouted, and the rolling sound wave blasted out, causing everyone to feel as if their chest and abdomen were clogged up, and they were unable to say a word.

"If you want to leave, I've never stopped you! Whoever wants to leave, scram! I won't stop you!" Gu Xuan indifferently swept his gaze across these people, a look of despise flashing past his eyes.

He could definitely take all the Fire Condensing Pill in the warehouse for himself, but Gu Xuan did not do so. Instead, he paid back the debts of these people.

"Inform everyone in the sub-school to come over now. Those that want to stay, stand on the right side and those that want to leave, stand on the left side. After half a day, if you want to leave, you can leave!"

Gu Xuan said coldly, then immediately turned and followed Qin Fan into the Main Hall.

Logically speaking, they wanted to leave, but the biggest influence would be the Division Head Gu Xuan. However, not only did Gu Xuan not stop them, he was instead afraid that they had not left enough, and wanted to call everyone here to decide for themselves. What did that mean?

"Who cares what he means, if we want to leave, that's the sect's rule. He's just a Division Head, how can he dare to disobey the sect rules?"

"That's right, we should call everyone here. Will he be able to kill everyone then?"

"That's right. All of us are leaving. Let's see what happens to him after half a day!"

A commotion broke out in the crowd, and then most of the people left to gather the remaining 30% of their comrades.

As for leaving without permission, they didn't even have the guts. Not to mention the danger level of the Flame Beast Mountain Range, even if they violated the sect rules, it would be enough for them to die ten times over …

"Master, you are too rash. You called them all here, and they insisted on leaving. What else can you do to stop them?"

Entering Main Hall, after the door closed, Qin Fan spoke out anxiously.

"Sect Master, even if your strength is as strong as five hundred Peak Sovereign Level s, you can still kill them all? Moreover, you have already allowed them to leave, so leaving after half a day would not be considered a violation of the sect rules! "

Qin Fan's face was filled with helplessness.

Gu Xuan's decision from before seemed to be too unrestrained and domineering, but after this short moment, the price he had to pay was truly too great.

These people all left, and even if Gu Xuan was here with him, he had no way of resisting. Gu Xuan's strongest point was that there were top-notch Spiritual Treasure, but in terms of controlling the sect's Defensive Spiritual Treasure s, it might not be better than any other King Level Martial Cultivator. Once the sect's movements spread out, if they did not leave, they would be easily annexed by other sects.

However, if they were to leave, then even if the entire sub-school's foundation was gone, when the sub-school blames them, it would definitely not be an easy matter. After all, the value of the spirit mines here would be at least a few million Fire Condensing Pill!

"Sect Master, I think you should let go of your face first. Continue with your closed door cultivation for a few days, as long as they don't all leave the sect branch, the other sects will not be aware of it. Then, report it to the sect and let the sect think of a way. How about this?"

Qin Fan continued to speak with a bit of a pleading look on his face. Gu Xuan's previous actions had made him feel that Gu Xuan was still too good a person with face to begin with.

Gu Xuan waved his hand, interrupting Qin Fan's words. He looked at the latter and said with a playful smile: "Senior Brother Qin, there's no rush to these matters, let me ask you first, do you want to break through King Level?"

Qin Fan nodded helplessly: "How could I not think about breaking through King Level, it's just that my King Level …"

Gu Xuan raised his hand, the smile on his face became even wider, and he said indifferently: "Then in this half day, I'll help you break through your King Level."

could not help but be taken aback. Breaking through King Level, what does that mean?
