Chapter 100

"Because it complies with the noble clan's succession laws." Gu Luoding's eyes darkened as he said, "Even the Seven-Eyed Nobles cannot defy the laws established by our ancestors. As long as his actions do not violate the succession laws, the current clan head and the council of elders cannot punish him. That branch of the family has already pledged allegiance to another noble clan. This clan heir has publicly declared that he will kill all the allies of the Gu clan heirs before giving up the struggle for the clan leadership and leaving the Gu clan to change his name and banner."

Hearing such outrageous news, the Silver Leaf Group was speechless.

Such a 'traitor' cannot be punished? What kind of ridiculous law is this?

"Power is truth. The clan head told me this because of this matter. The laws established by the nobles need the strongest power to support them. A weak family is not suitable for survival, and other nobles will not help you out of 'sympathy.' Now he has powerful allies, and we, the clan heirs, can only unite to make our final stand. The Gu clan will not fall, but our generation is completely ruined. Even the next generation will find it hard to find strong allies." Gu Luoding sighed.

"If this continues, the Gu clan will gradually decline until it completely disappears." Gu Bo sneered, "Unless we become a vassal of that noble clan."

"Do you understand the danger?" At this moment, Gan Wenxuan stepped forward and said, "None of you are fools, and I believe everyone can understand. You are the talented seeds of the Azure Star Alliance and cannot fall by the wayside. Before coming here today, I had already made preparations. Luoding has to contribute to the clan and cannot step back. To avoid involving you, come with me to the Storm Star Alliance to live for a while. As long as you stay there, they will not dare to cause trouble in my territory. After some time, you can return. I trust my abilities; in the Storm Star Alliance, I can ensure that you have sufficient resources to grow steadily."

At this point, Gu Luoding and Gan Wenxuan both clasped their hands in salute.

Gu Luoding even laughed and said, "Thank you for still considering me an ally. I can only do this much for you. Please inform Mr. Windwalker as well. Consider it my apology to him. If there is a chance, I will repay him properly."

"Is that so? I, the fat one, understand a bit now. Why are the nobles nobles, and we, the wealthy, are just a bunch of fools? It turns out that what we all insist on is different. The Blue Sea group is willing to abandon their dignity for profit, while your group is willing to risk their lives for the clan. The difference is too great." Li Wenfu sighed, thinking that the foundation of the nobility is built by these 'risk-takers,' which is why it has always been as solid as a rock.

"Do you disagree?" Gu Luoding was greatly surprised by the fat man's true intentions.

He had already explained the 'danger' of the Gu clan's succession very clearly.

All his allies had also wisely withdrawn.

Why the Silver Leaf Group...

"Abandoning allies in times of trouble is not the style of the Silver Leaf Group." Du Nan smiled and said, "You've talked a lot, but it means nothing to us. Since you have nothing else, let's get down to business."

"Mr. Du, they are very strong, they are the Sleepers." Gu Bo spoke up in time.

"Oh." Du Nan looked indifferent.

"It seems Mr. Du still doesn't understand. Let me add a few words." Gu Bo composed himself and said, "The clan heir is named Gu Hao, a very ordinary person with only a four-star water magic ability. The most terrifying are his allies. They are Sleepers, originally known as 'Farrago Warriors.' During the royal clan's conquests, they were brave warriors who dared to fight star beasts and enemy clans. This time, we don't know what Gu Hao used to win them over, but they sent a large number of warriors to support him. In this struggle for the clan leadership, only we old bones are left."

"Farrago?" Du Nan thought for a moment, remembering that the millennium family's records mentioned them.

"Do you know, Brother Du?" Li Wenfu was surprised, as this was the first time he had been outmatched by Du Nan in common knowledge.

"Yes, they are just a bunch of scoundrels. They are like barbarians who live by plundering, usually using mass slaughter to seize resources, weapons, and the most important genetic samples from other species. They are not fools and do not threaten the royal clan's rule. Due to their bravery and strength, they are often used as mercenaries. Strictly speaking, they are a group of trash with more sins than merits."

"Very strong?" Li Wenfu was already repulsed, and the rest of the Silver Leaf Group had similar reactions.

"They possess some superior genes plundered from others. They have 'iron skin,' and their magic defense is quite good. Their endurance is also strong, about ten times better than ordinary people. Another point is that Farrago people are hard to kill; even on the brink of death, they can be placed in a nutrient tank for treatment. The most important thing is that they can sleep a lot, with four or five hibernation periods in their lifetime, each lasting over a hundred years." Du Nan explained in detail, shocking the group of nobles.

They did not know such detailed information about the Sleepers.

"Strengths and weaknesses?" Li Wenfu asked again.

"Their weakness is their overconfidence in their defense. 'Iron skin' is a high-consumption racial gene, and once it is broken, it collapses faster. Just remember, they are still human; no matter how strong their bodies are, they will die without their heads. As for their strength, it's their ability to sleep. When faced with an unbeatable enemy or clan, they can hide and sleep for three or four hundred years, waiting for the enemy to age and the clan to decline before they re-emerge to wreak havoc." Du Nan was quite dismissive of the Farrago warriors.

This is not due to superior genes but a cruel creed.

In the starry sky, there are many species with superior genes, but they do not live like a group of 'bandits.'

True 'strong clans' are all stable rulers.

None of them wander the starry sky, homeless.

"I see. So these Farrago Sleepers are the ones the Ice Emperor beat up." Li Wenfu suddenly realized and shouted.

"Ice Emperor?" Du Nan was now curious.

"No, Brother Du, you are the first, and I need to tutor you in common knowledge, or you won't be able to face people." The fat man straightened his face, completely ignoring the stunned group of nobles: "Brother Du, there is a saying, 'a hundred years of Qin Zhong, a thousand years of Qin Lou, ten thousand years of Qin Feng.' Have you heard of it?"

"I've only heard of Qin Zhong." Du Nan looked like a primary school student.

Li Wenfu almost fell over, looking like he couldn't teach a hopeless student: "Of course you know Qin Zhong; you even killed 'it.' A thousand years ago, the ruler of Blue Sea Star was the Ice Emperor, Qin Lou. On the Magic Network, there is his 'solo map,' but it's not on the Azure Region Network. It's said that apart from the royal clan and the nobles, Qin Lou has never lost to anyone."

"Not entirely correct. Someone from the royal clan has won, and in a thousand years, only five nobles have fought Qin Lou to a draw." Gu Luoding quickly added.

"Um, roughly like that. Anyway, in the citizen level, Qin Lou has been unbeaten for a thousand years. As for the most legendary Qin Feng, you can only see him on the main network. But his strength, hmm, it's said that only the royal clan has ever beaten him..."

"No, that's not true." Gu Luoding guessed what Li Wenfu was about to say and interrupted him in time.

Then he took a deep breath.

He feigned calm and said, "According to what I know, Qin Feng has never lost to anyone. Even our great royal clan has only managed to fight him to a draw, which is considered a 'victory' due to the royal clan's honor. However, the strong ones of the royal clan have never recognized this as a true victory. On the main Magic Network, Qin Feng ranks sixth, and both the royal clan and the nobles respectfully call him the 'Sixth War God.' He is one of the thirteen War Gods who have never lost a battle in tens of thousands of years."

"Ah, that's what I wanted to say." Li Wenfu, with his thick skin, insisted that his common knowledge was correct.

A hundred years of Qin Zhong, a thousand years of Qin Lou, ten thousand years of Qin Feng.

Du Nan thought carefully, with a vague memory.

"Qin Lou ruled Blue Sea Star for a thousand years and once beat a group of 'iron-skinned warriors.' Today, hearing Brother Du's words, it must be the Farrago Sleepers."

"They are called Farrago Warriors, also known as Sleepers." Gu Bo corrected.

"Right, Farrago Sleepers." Li Wenfu, with a 'I know, no problem' look, left everyone speechless.

At this moment, the silent Du Nan suddenly realized.

The Ice Emperor.

He was the former user of the Earth Frost Core and Sky Frost Core, and a genius who sought the Ancestral Elemental Dragon. Over a thousand years ago, a group of 'iron-skinned warriors' indeed fought him. At that time, Du Nan thought they were the 'Iron Clan' of the four enemy clans. Now it seems that the Iron Clan and the Farrago Warriors have some genetic connection, but it's unclear who stole whose genes.

"Brother Du..." Li Wenfu saw Du Nan deep in thought and asked curiously.

"Nothing. Before we get down to business, I have a question for you. It's said that even minor nobles can be granted a planet, right?" Du Nan asked.

Gu Luoding nodded.

Thinking that with the Farrago Warriors in front, you are risking your lives to seek the status of a 'minor noble'?

"If we want Iron Shavings Star, is it possible?" Du Nan asked again.

The group of nobles was shocked.

No ordinary person would dare to say such a thing. Iron Shavings Star is the 'prison' planet, the entire Azure Star Alliance's prison.

"Given the current situation of the Gu clan, all the allies of the clan heirs have withdrawn, and I imagine the current clan head is very troubled. I have a proposal. If you can get Iron Shavings Star for me, I will help you find a group of capable warriors. I can guarantee that you will definitely become the successor. All the participating Farrago Warriors will die, and Gu Hao will have no chance to join another noble clan, unless it's his clone." Du Nan said confidently.

"Mr. Du, are you serious?" Gu Luoding regained some spirit but was still not fully convinced.
