Chapter 176: Hun Xiu's Identity Exposed?

Gu Xun'er knew that she was no match for Hun Xiu, but she believed her father would be.

Hun Xiu, that despicable scoundrel, took away her most precious possession without her knowledge. This debt must be settled.

"A Dou Sheng-level powerhouse!" Gu Yuan murmured, shaking his head. Although he knew several Dou Sheng-level experts in the Soul Clan, he had never heard of anyone named Hun Xiu. 

Gu Yuan continued his questioning, "Daughter, do you know what Hun Xiu looks like?"

In Gu Yuan's view, it didn't matter if he didn't recognize Hun Xiu personally, as long as he knew his appearance. 

With the name, appearance, and strength, it shouldn't be a problem to find this person in the Soul Clan.

"I know!" Gu Xun'er nodded.

Using her finger as a pen, she began sketching the image of Hun Xiu in the void. Initially, Gu Yuan was dismissive, but as the image of Hun Xiu gradually took shape, he couldn't sit still. He stood up and looked at the "Hun Xiu" drawn by his daughter in the void.

His expression changed slightly!

"Father, what's wrong?" Gu Xun'er couldn't help but ask when she saw her father's displeased face. From his grim expression, she understood that her father recognized this person named "Hun Xiu."

Gu Yuan didn't answer her question but instead asked while looking at the image Gu Xun'er had drawn, "Xun'er, is this the scoundrel Hun Xiu?"

"Yes!" Gu Xun'er nodded.

"Darn it... Hun Tiandi, you heartless beast..." Gu Yuan's emotions trembled, and waves of anger surged within him. 

He realized that the person his daughter, Gu Xun'er, drew was not Hun Xiu at all, but rather Hun Tiandi! 

He regarded Hun Tiandi as a "brother."

But…

The scoundrel Hun Tiandi took away his daughter's most precious possession without any consideration. Was he planning to take him as his father?

Unbelievable.

He didn't even give him a bit of warning and just went straight for the "Royal Flush"!

Beast!

"Hun Tiandi, you're not human..." Gu Yuan's heart shook with anger, realizing that the scoundrel Hun Xiu was none other than Hun Tiandi himself. How could he call him "brother"?

What was the purpose of their brotherhood?

This was absolutely outrageous!

How dare he even think of it!

Gu Yuan couldn't find any words to describe Hun Tiandi other than a "beast."

...

Seeing her father's expression, Gu Xun'er slowly inquired, "Father, do you know this person named Hun Xiu?"

"This person..." Gu Yuan initially wanted to reveal the whole truth to his daughter. There was no such person as Hun Xiu; it was a fictional name. This person was actually Hun Tiandi.

But as soon as the words were about to come out of his mouth, Gu Yuan realized that it wasn't the right time. What if his daughter couldn't accept the truth?

A person of her father's generation took away her most precious possession.

Damn it...

He couldn't even think about it. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became!

Gu Yuan had always known that someday his daughter might be charmed by someone, but he never expected it would be Hun Tiandi, that pig!

How despicable!

If only Hun Tiandi were still in the Soul Clan. Gu Yuan would demand an explanation from him no matter what.

How despicable!

...

"Dad, who is this person?" Gu Xun'er asked as she noticed her father's hesitation. This piqued her curiosity even more. 

Why would her father be so hesitant to talk about this person named Hun Xiu? Could it be that Hun Xiu held a significant position in the Soul Clan?

Gu Yuan shook his head and replied, "I don't know him!"

Gu Yuan didn't know this beastly Hun Tiandi. The Hun Tiandi he knew would never do such things!

Gu Xun'er: "..."

Seeing her father's behavior, Gu Xun'er understood that he wasn't telling the truth. Her father must know this person named Hun Xiu, but why was he not saying anything? Could it be that Hun Xiu had an exceptionally high status within the Soul Clan?

If that was the case, her plan to get her father to teach Hun Xiu a lesson might be in jeopardy.

Gu Xun'er asked, "Dad, is Hun Xiu very powerful?"

"Yes!"

"Very powerful!" Gu Yuan nodded.

Hun Tiandi's strength was indeed formidable. He was far beyond Gu Yuan's current abilities, and that was beyond doubt.

Gu Xun'er continued, "Dad, does Hun Xiu hold a high position within the Soul Clan?"

"Yes!"

"Very high!" Gu Yuan nodded again.

Hun Tiandi was the leader of the Soul Clan, the absolute authority within the clan. So, it was without a doubt that he held a high position in the Soul Clan.

Within the Soul Clan, no one held a higher position than the Hun Tiandi. The Four Great Elders might have a higher nominal position, but they still answered to the Hun Tiandi.

After all, what truly mattered wasn't just the position, but also the strength!

Sufficient strength was needed to perfectly represent one's position!

...

"Dad, can you defeat Hun Xiu?" Gu Xun'er inquired.

"This..." Gu Yuan was momentarily taken aback by Gu Xun'er's question. Could he defeat Hun Tiandi now? That was indeed a difficult question. In the past, he and Hun Tiandi might have been evenly matched.

But now...

If he were to face Hun Tiandi?

It would probably be a 30% chance of winning.

The odds of winning were already nonexistent.

Therefore, it was indeed difficult to answer this question.

Seeing her father's hesitant appearance, Gu Xun'er understood and murmured, "Is Hun Xiu really that strong? Even Dad is not his match? You don't have the confidence to defeat him?"

Gu Yuan fell silent upon hearing Gu Xun'er's murmurs. He wished he could say he could win, but now, when it came to facing Hun Tiandi, he was no longer a match for him.

As much as he didn't want to admit it, he had to accept the reality.

The reality was really harsh.

There was no hint of beauty!

Gu Xun'er was not a fool. Her father, Gu Yuan, remained silent, which made her contemplate many things. She remembered her father was very powerful, a peak Nine-Star Dou Sheng, one of the top experts on the entire Dou Qi continent.

If Hun Xiu could make her father hesitate and not be confident in defeating him, did that mean Hun Xiu was also a peak Nine-Star Dou Sheng?

As far as Gu Xun'er knew, there seemed to be only one peak Nine-Star Dou Sheng in the Soul Clan—the Soul Clan's leader, Hun Tiandi.

"So, is Hun Xiu actually the Soul Clan's leader, Hun Tiandi?" This thought crossed Gu Xun'er's mind. 

It was not surprising she would come up with such an idea considering her father's strange behavior. Although the idea might seem absurd, there was a possibility, wasn't there?

Gu Xun'er asked, "Dad, is Hun Xiu actually the Soul Clan's leader, Hun Tiandi?"
