Among those of the same level, I have never lost a fight.
When facing opponents ten levels higher, I have never backed down.
Hearing Ye Guan’s words, everyone in the field burst into laughter.
What a confident young man.
Arrogant?
What truly counts as arrogance is empty boasting without strength.
With real power behind it, it is not arrogance. It is confidence.
The woman looked at Ye Guan. A flash of admiration passed through her eyes, but it quickly turned into regret.
If only he were from the Zhang family. The Zhang family would surely rise powerfully.
What a pity.
Such a great pity.
The woman sighed inwardly, but then another thought came to her. If this man were to marry a woman from the Zhang family descendants, would he not essentially become part of the Zhang family?
At that idea, the woman shook her head with a faint smile. How could such a thing be forced?
Better to form a good connection and let the future take its natural course.
The woman gathered her thoughts and looked at Ye Guan. “What we call inheritance is an exchange of consciousness. We will enter your mind, communicate with you, and resolve your doubts. All our lifetime experiences in the martial path will be fully imparted to you. In this way, you will avoid many detours on the martial path. However, how much you can absorb depends entirely on your own ability.”
Ye Guan bowed deeply. “Thank you very much.”
The woman nodded slightly. In the next moment, she and the others transformed into streaks of white light and entered the space between Ye Guan’s brows.
Boom.
In an instant, countless streams of information surged into his sea of consciousness like a tidal wave.
Ye Guan clenched his fists tightly. He quickly sat cross-legged and began absorbing the experiences of the Zhang family ancestors. Gradually, his aura started to rise sharply.
…
Little View Continent, Immortal Treasure Pavilion.
On this day, the higher-ups of Immortal Treasure Pavilion held a meeting. In the hall, all nineteen managers were gathered.
At the head was an old man.
This person was none other than the current Great Elder Ge Lianxing of Immortal Treasure Pavilion, and he was also the one with the greatest authority right now.
Ever since Ying Qing took some managers to the True World, the affairs of Immortal Treasure Pavilion had been handled by each successive elder council, and he was the leader of the current one.
Among the nineteen managers, Qin Feng was also present.
Qin Feng sat at the very end. He leaned back in his chair, lost in thought.
Ge Lianxing glanced at everyone and said calmly, “All sit.”
Everyone took their seats.
Ge Lianxing went straight to the point. “Ye Guan has arrived in the Guanxuan Universe.”
Ye Guan.
Qin Feng, seated at the end, furrowed his brows but said nothing.
At that moment, one elder manager suddenly spoke. “I just received news. This person came from Sin City. Not only that, he killed several people there in a row.”
He picked up the cup of tea in front of him, took a sip, then continued, “This person has too murderous a heart. He cannot be allowed to live.”
Qin Feng suddenly said, “Elder Ouyang, as cultivators, is it not normal to kill a few people? Have you never killed anyone?”
Elder Ouyang glanced at Qin Feng and sneered. “Qin Feng, do not think we are unaware. Not only are you on good terms with that Ye Guan, you even call him brother.”
Qin Feng smiled. “Yes, I am on good terms with him. Yes, I call him brother. So what? Have I broken any rules?”
Elder Ouyang stared at Qin Feng. “Right now we support the Child of Destiny. This decision was made by Elder Ge. By speaking up for Ye Guan now, what exactly do you mean? Are you dissatisfied with the Great Elder?”
The Great Elder Ge at the head looked at Qin Feng but said nothing.
Qin Feng’s expression became somewhat ugly.
Elder Ouyang sneered repeatedly.
At that moment, Elder Ge suddenly spoke. “Elder Qin, you have had contact with Ye Guan. What do you think of him?”
Qin Feng said calmly, “Monstrous talent and an exceptional character.”
Elder Ge nodded. “For him to reach Quasi-Great Sword Emperor at such an age, he is certainly no ordinary person. But Elder Qin, you must understand that his enemy is the Child of Destiny, and Immortal Treasure Pavilion supports the Child of Destiny.”
Qin Feng hesitated for a moment, then said, “Great Elder, my personal view is that in this contest between the Child of Destiny and Ye Guan, we can simply sit back and watch. Whoever wins, we can then…”
“Foolish!”
At that moment, Elder Ouyang interrupted Qin Feng. “Elder Qin, you truly have short-sighted vision. Let me ask you this. If we sit back now and do nothing, and the Child of Destiny rises in the future, will it still be useful for Immortal Treasure Pavilion to invest then?”
Qin Feng said angrily, “What if Ye Guan wins?”
Ye Guan wins.
Everyone was stunned.
Elder Ouyang suddenly laughed loudly. “Elder Qin, do you know what you are saying?”
Qin Feng said indifferently, “Back at Guanxuan Academy that day, did not the Child of Destiny lose? If not for the intervention of someone behind him, he would have already died by Ye Guan’s hand that day.”
Elder Ouyang’s expression became somewhat ugly. “A temporary win or loss means nothing. On the martial path, it is not about momentary victories. The one who laughs last is the true winner.”
Qin Feng asked, “What makes Elder Ouyang so sure that the one who reaches the end will not be Ye Guan?”
Elder Ouyang said furiously, “His opponent is the Child of Destiny!”
Qin Feng stared at Elder Ouyang. “That day, he defeated the Child of Destiny.”
Elder Ouyang glared fiercely at Qin Feng. “Elder Qin, are you determined to argue?”
Qin Feng was about to speak when Elder Ge beside him suddenly said, “Enough of this argument.”
Qin Feng and Elder Ouyang both looked at Elder Ge. Elder Ge then said, “The Child of Destiny has already obtained the Dao Seal.”
Dao Seal.
Qin Feng’s expression changed instantly.
At that moment, another elder suddenly said, “The Dao Seal that the Child of Destiny once wore back then?”
Elder Ge nodded. “Yes.”
Hearing this, all the elders in the hall became grave.
Now they understood why Elder Ge was so resolute in supporting the Child of Destiny.
Qin Feng’s face was heavy. He had not expected the Child of Destiny to possess the Dao Seal.
The Child of Destiny shared the same status as the Human Sword Lord, and now he also had the Dao Seal once worn by the Human Sword Lord.
Could he be the next dean?
At that thought, Qin Feng’s brows furrowed tightly.
Not only Qin Feng, but all the elders in the hall had thought of the same thing.
In the Guanxuan Universe, there were two super powers: Immortal Treasure Pavilion and Guanxuan Academy. But in reality, the one that truly unified the entire universe was Guanxuan Academy. After all, the faith of the whole universe still belonged to the Human Sword Lord.
The status of a Child of Destiny alone was not enough to make Immortal Treasure Pavilion wary.
But if he were the dean of Guanxuan Academy?
Then the weight of that identity would be completely different.
Back then, the reason Immortal Treasure Pavilion developed so well was because the contemporary pavilion master had invested in the Human Sword Lord.
Elder Ge continued, “Everyone, according to the pavilion’s rules, the elder council serves a three-hundred-year term. In our current term, only Elder Qin was specially promoted. Most of the rest are nearing the end of their term. But if we succeed in taking the right side this time, we will have grounds to continue serving. Moreover, once the Child of Destiny becomes the young master of Guanxuan Academy and his identity is confirmed, as his greatest supporter, Immortal Treasure Pavilion will gain far more benefits in the future.”
He paused, then added, “Therefore, this time, Immortal Treasure Pavilion must fully support the Child of Destiny and help him inherit the great position.”
In the hall, everyone nodded one after another.
Qin Feng remained silent.
He knew that the moment the Child of Destiny obtained the Dao Seal, he could no longer change anything.
Sigh.
Qin Feng sighed inwardly.
Status and background truly mattered too much.
For an ordinary person to rise against the heavens was incredibly difficult.
Qin Feng’s expression was extremely complicated. He genuinely valued Ye Guan highly. The young man’s talent, character, and way of handling people were all top-notch.
As if thinking of something, Qin Feng frowned.
Damn it.
Why could he not secretly help on the side?
The risk was great, but it was worth a gamble.
With that thought, Qin Feng no longer hesitated.
At that moment, Elder Ge suddenly said, “The Grand Martial Officer just informed me to stop Ye Guan and prevent him from challenging the Child of Destiny during this period, because this is the most critical time for the Child of Destiny. To avoid outsiders thinking the Child of Destiny is targeting Ye Guan and damaging his reputation, this matter must be handled by us. Therefore, I have decided to issue a wanted order against Ye Guan.”
Issue a wanted order.
In the hall, the elders exchanged glances and no one objected.
Since they had chosen a side, they might as well go all in.
Elder Ge added, “How about a level twelve wanted order?”
Level twelve.
Hearing Elder Ge’s words, everyone was shocked.
The wanted orders of Immortal Treasure Pavilion had twelve levels, with level twelve being the highest. In history, Immortal Treasure Pavilion had never issued a level twelve order before.
A level twelve wanted order meant what?
It meant Immortal Treasure Pavilion and the target would fight to the death.
Directly issuing the maximum level.
Qin Feng immediately stood up. At that moment, the other elders looked at him. Qin Feng hesitated, then said, “Elder Ge, if we issue level twelve and end up killing Ye Guan, would that not ruin the Child of Destiny’s plans?”
Elder Ge frowned.
Beside him, Elder Ouyang suddenly sneered. “Elder Qin, are you afraid we might kill Ye Guan? Are you trying to plead for him?”
Qin Feng glanced at Elder Ouyang. “I curse your ancestors.”
Everyone: “…”
“Insolent!”
Elder Ouyang flew into a rage and slammed the table as he stood up. He glared furiously at Qin Feng. “Qin Feng, do you have any manners at all?”
Qin Feng looked at Elder Ouyang. “You want manners? Fine. Your mother, I have mounted her.”
Everyone: “…”
“Insolent!”
Elder Ouyang was furious beyond measure. He clenched his right fist tightly, ready to strike.
At that moment, Elder Ge suddenly said, “Enough!”
Elder Ouyang glared at Qin Feng, his body radiating a terrifying aura.
Qin Feng shrugged and sat back down without another word.
Elder Ge looked at Qin Feng. “Elder Qin, you are still part of the elder council. Please watch your words.”
Qin Feng said calmly, “I am not someone who usually speaks crudely, unless I really cannot hold back. Everyone saw what happened. Everything I did was for the sake of Immortal Treasure Pavilion. But Elder Ouyang has targeted me again and again. I truly could not endure it any longer.”
Elder Ge glanced at Qin Feng, then said, “You are all acting for Immortal Treasure Pavilion, and our decision to side with the Child of Destiny this time is also for Immortal Treasure Pavilion. From now on, we should unite and face the outside together.”
Qin Feng said no more.
Elder Ouyang gave Qin Feng a cold look and also remained silent.
Kill Qin Feng?
That was not realistic.
Because Qin Feng’s performance in Immortal Treasure Pavilion ranked first. He earned far too much money.
Unless he committed a grave mistake, it was impossible to eliminate him.
At that moment, Elder Ge suddenly said, “Issuing a wanted order against Ye Guan is mainly to show the world our stance. We want everyone to know that Immortal Treasure Pavilion stands with the Child of Destiny. We want the world to understand that anyone who sides with Ye Guan is an enemy of Immortal Treasure Pavilion.”
He paused, then continued, “Anyone who can kill Ye Guan will be rewarded by Immortal Treasure Pavilion with five million immortal crystals, plus three volumes of simplified-level cultivation techniques and martial skills, as well as three divine-level demonic beast inner cores.”
No one objected.
Elder Ge looked at everyone, then said, “Dismissed.”
Qin Feng stood up and left directly.
The other elders also departed one after another.
In the hall, only Elder Ge remained. He rose and walked to the portrait of the pavilion master Qin. He gave a slight bow, then said, “As long as Ye Guan dies and the Child of Destiny ascends to the great position, Immortal Treasure Pavilion will surely reach its peak once more. May the pavilion master bless Immortal Treasure Pavilion.”
