However, what the elders didn't expect was that their words reached the ears of Gu Yuli, who was standing at the door.
And the moment the words fell, the Second Elder immediately sensed Gu Yuli's location.
"who!"
The Second Elder gave a stern shout.
Gu Yuli's delicate body trembled, and she hurriedly ran back.
She had come to the elders to clear their minds of their prejudices against Gu Chiyou, but she never expected to overhear such important news! And, would Gu Chiyou really die?
No, she had to tell Gu Chiyou to leave the Gu family immediately!
The kitchen backyard.
When Gu Yuli rushed over, Gu Chiyou smiled and said, "Sister A-Li, I feel like I've learned the move you taught me just now. Would you like to spar a bit?"
However, Gu Yuli hurriedly said, "Chi You, run!"
run?
Ancient Chiyou didn't quite understand.
Just as Gu Chiyou was about to ask why, countless fragments exploded on the roof, and several majestic figures appeared in front of the two.
Gu Chiyou was taken aback; these were all elders from the main hall.
Could it be that... the elders found out about Gu Yuli teaching him martial arts?
At this moment, the Second Elder grabbed Gu Yuli by the neck with one hand and said coldly, "I never expected that you, the traitor, would be the one to betray us! Do you know how serious the crime you have committed?!"
Gu Yuli struggled desperately.
The Second Elder's strength clearly indicated that he wanted to strangle Gu Yuli on the spot!
Seeing this, Gu Chiyou hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy, saying, "Second Elder, this matter has nothing to do with Sister Ali. It was me... I was too obsessed with martial arts. I asked Sister Ali to teach me martial arts. Punish me if you must."
The Second Elder turned his head and sneered, "Oh? I never expected you to be willing to accept punishment? Very well, if you commit suicide on the spot, I will spare Yu Li's life."
After saying that, the Second Elder threw a sword on the ground.
Suicide...
As Gu Chiyou looked at the sword, his whole body trembled; it was a feeling of lingering fear.
He suddenly realized that the elders standing before him were completely different from the elders he had known before. They no longer regarded him as a descendant of a hero, but rather as a jinx, wishing him dead!
But...why?
Why have I been ostracized since I was a child?
Why can't I practice martial arts openly and honestly?
Why should even those who help us be punished so severely?
In the end, he would have to pay with his life to escape punishment.
Why?
Countless questions swirled in the mind of the ancient Chi You. He felt as if he had fallen into darkness, with no one standing by his side.
But at that very moment, he regained consciousness.
It wasn't that no one stood by his side; Gu Yuli had always supported him and was willing to be his friend, even teaching him martial arts despite knowing it was against orders.
Gu Yuli was his only friend. What did it matter if he risked his life for her?
At least, there were people in the world who trusted him.
At that moment, ancient Chi You laughed; he laughed through his tears.
He looked at Gu Yuli and said, "Perhaps, I shouldn't have been born into this world."
After saying that, he trembled as he picked up the sword from the ground, closed his eyes, and held it to his neck.
Why?!
Suddenly, Gu Yuli roared out desperately.
She said indignantly, "Why must he die? Isn't he one of our Gu family? Why be so cruel to your own family members!"
The moment the words left his mouth, the Second Elder slapped Gu Yuli across the face, sending the latter flying backward!
Gu Chiyou's pupils contracted as he looked at the Second Elder with resentment.
At this moment, the Second Elder said with a ferocious expression, "What are you looking at? Are you going to die or not? If you're not going to die, then I'll help you!"
After saying that, the Second Elder personally gathered his strength and struck down mercilessly at Gu Chiyou!
Just as Chi You was in despair, Gu Yuli hurriedly stepped in front of him.
At that moment, Gu Chiyou's face turned deathly pale!
The moment the Second Elder's palm struck, the two were sent flying two hundred feet away by the force! Countless plots of land and houses crumbled along the way.
At this moment, Gu Chiyou still had a breath left. Most of the power of this palm strike was neutralized by Gu Yuli. Gu Yuli was lying on his body, without any trace of life.
Ancient Chiyou trembled all over, and tears streamed down his face.
At this moment, Gu Chiyou recalled the words he had spoken when he first became Gu Yuli's disciple.
"With your master here, no one can hurt you anymore!"
But... you didn't have to die!
"Ah Li, Ah Li!!!"
Ancient Chiyou risked his life to protect Gu Yuli's body.
Amidst his roar, Gu Chiyou's eyes also lost their focus.
Ultimately, his strength was too weak. Even though Gu Yuli blocked most of the Second Elder's palm strike, he simply couldn't withstand the subsequent damage.
At the same time, Gu Chiyou also lost the desire to live.
Gu Yuli died; his last ray of light.
It went out too.
At this moment, the elders arrived at the spot where the ancient Chi You died.
He was certain that the ancient Chi You was indeed dead.
The Second Elder laughed and said, "How about that? I told you, as long as we act quickly and ruthlessly enough, how could he have time to awaken the power of Chi You? The First Elder was too cautious! As for his granddaughter, she violated the clan rules, so her death is no big deal. Does anyone have any objections?"
The elders shook their heads.
They were only relieved that Chi You was dead, and that the hidden bomb that had been lurking around them had finally disappeared at this moment, bringing them immense joy.
