After the meeting ended, Qin Feng walked down to the bottom of the stone steps. He looked up at the sky for a very long time before letting out a deep sigh.
Helplessness.
He wanted to help Ye Guan with all his heart, but he knew he could do nothing right now, and he was truly powerless to act.
A wanted order.
And not just any wanted order, but a level twelve one.
What did that mean?
It meant Ye Guan would become the mortal enemy of Immortal Treasure Pavilion. Anyone who stood with Ye Guan would be considered an enemy of Immortal Treasure Pavilion.
That was the attitude of Immortal Treasure Pavilion.
In truth, even setting aside his personal connection with Ye Guan, he felt that Immortal Treasure Pavilion’s approach was unwise.
It was far too decisive and extreme.
Up to now, Immortal Treasure Pavilion had not properly investigated Ye Guan at all. They had simply declared him a dead enemy and targeted him. Such behaviour was truly reckless and prone to causing problems.
But he understood that everything came down to interests.
The elder council wanted to continue their term. Without a major achievement, that would be impossible. However, if Immortal Treasure Pavilion could help the Child of Destiny ascend to power, then it would become highly likely.
At that point, Elder Ge’s influence within Immortal Treasure Pavilion might even surpass that of Vice Pavilion Master Ying Qing.
Interests.
Qin Feng’s eyes were filled with worry. All the forces supporting the Child of Destiny were doing so for their own interests. And now, the entire Guanxuan Universe had already formed a massive interest group centred around the Child of Destiny.
How could Ye Guan possibly oppose that?
This was no longer a simple matter of martial combat.
The Child of Destiny could not afford to lose.
The forces behind him would never allow Ye Guan to win.
An incomparably vast interest group.
Qin Feng remained silent for a long time before sighing deeply and turning to leave.
Nearby, Elder Ouyang stared coldly at Qin Feng. “Keep an eye on him. This man is very likely to secretly help that Ye Guan.”
“Understood.”
Beside Elder Ouyang, a black-robed old man quietly withdrew.
Inside the Spirit Void Hall of Spirit Void Divine Land.
The Zhang family powerhouses had gathered together. In the hall, everyone’s faces looked extremely ugly.
The Great Elder’s expression was also deeply grim.
Because they had already learned of Immortal Treasure Pavilion’s wanted order.
Level twelve wanted order.
Immortal Treasure Pavilion clearly intended to fight Ye Guan to the death.
None of the elders had expected Immortal Treasure Pavilion to play so ruthlessly. Moreover, Immortal Treasure Pavilion had openly declared that anyone who stood with Ye Guan would be treated as their enemy.
This move had directly placed Spirit Void Divine Land on the fire to roast.
The fact that Ye Guan had come to visit Spirit Void Divine Land was no longer a secret.
If Spirit Void Divine Land continued to shelter Ye Guan, would that not be a deliberate provocation against Immortal Treasure Pavilion?
In the hall, everyone remained silent. The atmosphere was extremely oppressive.
At that moment, a white-robed old man suddenly appeared at the entrance of the hall. When they saw the newcomer, the faces of all the Spirit Void Divine Land powerhouses changed at once.
Someone from Immortal Treasure Pavilion.
Zhang Yuntian looked at the white-robed old man. “So it is Manager Li. I wonder what brings Manager Li here…”
Manager Li waved his hand. “Sect Leader Zhang, there is no need for idle talk. I came here for one thing only. If in one quarter of an hour Ye Guan is still in Spirit Void Divine Land, then Immortal Treasure Pavilion will blacklist your entire Spirit Void Divine Land and never provide services to you again. Moreover, any losses caused to Immortal Treasure Pavilion because of this matter will be the full responsibility of Spirit Void Divine Land.”
With that, he turned and left directly.
In the hall, everyone’s faces became extremely ugly.
At that moment, one elder hesitated before speaking. “Sect Leader, Great Elder, we cannot afford to wade into this muddy water. Let Young Master Ye leave Spirit Void Divine Land.”
Another elder nodded in agreement. “Although Young Master Ye is monstrously talented, his enemy is the Child of Destiny. Now that Immortal Treasure Pavilion has openly taken sides, if we continue to support Young Master Ye, we risk the danger of extermination. Please, Sect Leader and Great Elder, consider this carefully. After all, Spirit Void Divine Land has hundreds of thousands of clansmen…”
The other elders also stepped forward one after another, expressing that they should not get involved in this mess.
In the hall, Zhang Yuntian and the Great Elder remained silent.
At this moment, the two of them were also in an extremely difficult position.
The ancestral land.
In the ancestral land, Ye Guan sat cross-legged on the ground. His entire being resembled an old monk in deep meditation.
He had already been sitting quietly here for a full day and night.
At first, he had been in a state of extreme excitement. But gradually, he became calm.
Inheritance.
It had to be said that this kind of inheritance was truly heaven-defying, because within such an inheritance, one could avoid far too many wrong paths.
Just like before, the main reason he had reached the Martial God realm so quickly was because he had received a Martial God’s inheritance.
It was somewhat like inheriting a family fortune.
Was it faster to earn money through your own hard work, or to inherit wealth from your family?
At that moment, Ye Guan suddenly opened his eyes. He placed his right hand directly on the ground.
Boom.
Suddenly, the entire ground trembled violently. In the next moment, countless mysterious powers gathered from the earth and converged into his palm. Among them were also many remnants of earth power.
Earth Law Realm.
In this moment, he naturally stepped into the Earth Law Realm.
However, his aura continued to surge madly.
Seeing this, Ye Guan’s expression changed at once. He said in a trembling voice, “Tower Grandpa? Am I about to break through again? What should I do? What should I do?”
The small tower replied, “Is that not a good thing?”
Ye Guan quickly shook his head. “Breaking through so fast without enough accumulation can easily lead to problems. Tower Grandpa, please help suppress it quickly. I do not want to break through.”
The small tower: “…”
Seeing that the small tower did not respond, Ye Guan said again, “Tower Grandpa?”
The small tower spoke in a deep voice, “Do you not think you are suppressing yourself too harshly?”
Ye Guan shook his head. “Cultivation is like forging a sword. It requires countless hammerings and temperings to achieve peerless sharpness. If my realm advances too quickly, there may be no issue in the short term, but in the long run, it may not be a good thing.”
The small tower was somewhat curious. “Why do you have such thoughts?”
Ye Guan shook his head. “Right now, I do not even understand the Heaven Law Realm. If I break through just like this, my foundation in the Heaven Law Realm will be unstable. It would not have much real meaning.”
The small tower was silent for a moment before saying, “I will help you suppress it.”
Boom.
As the words fell, a beam of golden light enveloped Ye Guan. In an instant, the powerful aura on him was directly suppressed.
Feeling this, Ye Guan immediately let out a sigh of relief.
Cultivation was not something that happened in a short time. Faster was not always better. One had to look to the future.
Gaining temporary advantage in exchange for future drawbacks was not worth it.
At that moment, the Zhang family ancestor woman appeared in front of Ye Guan once more. Ye Guan quickly stood up and gave a slight bow. “Thank you, Senior.”
The woman stared at Ye Guan. “You actually suppressed your own realm.”
Ye Guan nodded. “Yes.”
The woman’s eyes narrowed slightly. “There is an extremely powerful mysterious existence within your body.”
Ye Guan nodded slightly. “That is my Tower Grandpa.”
The woman’s brows furrowed slightly. “Tower Grandpa?”
Ye Guan nodded. “Yes.”
The woman stared at Ye Guan. “May I see him?”
Ye Guan immediately hesitated.
See Tower Grandpa?
Ye Guan asked in his mind, “Tower Grandpa?”
The small tower said calmly, “Up to you.”
It did not care.
After thirty million years, only a small number of big shots would still recognise it.
Ye Guan thought for a moment, then opened his palm. The small tower appeared in his hand.
When she saw the small tower, the woman’s pupils shrank sharply. She retreated more than a dozen steps. She stared at the small tower in front of her as if she had seen a ghost, her face full of terror.
Seeing her reaction, Ye Guan was completely stunned.
Was Tower Grandpa really that ugly?
To scare someone like this.
Then he thought again. No, this senior recognised Tower Grandpa.
The small tower was also puzzled and asked directly, “You know me?”
The woman immediately bowed deeply and said in a trembling voice, “Senior, could it be that you once followed…”
The small tower interrupted her directly. “Why do you know me?”
It was also somewhat shocked. This woman actually recognised it. After that great battle back then, very few people still knew of Tower Grandpa.
Seeing that the small tower acknowledged it, the woman bowed deeply once more. “Tower Grandpa, my ancestor’s name is Zhang Wenxiu.”
Zhang Wenxiu.
In this moment, it was the small tower’s turn to be stunned.
Heavens.
She was actually a descendant of that Matriarch.
The small tower was also shocked. Among those matriarchs, the ones it had the most contact with were actually An Lanxiu and Qin Guan. It had less contact with the others.
It had never expected that Spirit Void Divine Land would turn out to be the descendants of that Matriarch.
The woman suddenly looked at Ye Guan. As if realising something, her entire body began to tremble.
No wonder.
No wonder this young man was so monstrous. He was actually the descendant of the Human Sword Lord and that person.
Damn it.
This was the true Child of Destiny.
The woman was so excited she could hardly contain herself.
Of course, after the excitement came sheer thrill, an overwhelming thrill.
Their Zhang family had actually formed such an enormous good connection with this person.
This was heaven blessing Spirit Void Divine Land.
The woman looked at Ye Guan and was about to bow when the small tower suddenly sent a mysterious energy transmission. “He still does not know his own identity.”
Hearing this, the woman froze at once.
He did not know his own identity?
The woman looked at Ye Guan. Her expression became strange. She sent a mysterious energy transmission to the small tower. “Tower Grandpa, is the young master… being raised freely?”
The small tower replied, “Yes.”
Raised freely.
The woman fell silent.
Your Yang family really plays in a twisted way. Raising everyone freely. Simply outrageous.
The small tower continued with mysterious energy transmission. “I never expected you to be a descendant of Matriarch Zhang. In that case, Spirit Void Divine Land can also be considered relatives of this little fellow.”
Relatives.
Hearing this, the woman was instantly overjoyed. She said in a trembling voice, “Tower Grandpa, does the Yang clan acknowledge us?”
The small tower said softly, “Of course. Although the Zhang family is not the direct maternal line of this little fellow, we are still relatives in any case.”
The woman was immediately thrilled beyond words.
Although the Zhang family were descendants of Zhang Wenxiu, too much time had passed. The blood relation had become extremely faint.
She had never imagined that after so many years, the Zhang family would encounter the son of the Human Sword Lord and even become friends with him.
At that moment, the small tower suddenly said, “Do not tell him about his identity for now. His identity should not be revealed at this time.”
The woman nodded. “Understood.”
At that moment, Ye Guan suddenly said, “Are you two whispering to each other?”
The woman and the small tower looked at Ye Guan. Ye Guan said earnestly, “There are no outsiders here. You do not need to whisper. Rest assured, I will definitely not tell anyone.”
The woman: “…”
The small tower was speechless.
Just then, Zhang Yuntian and the Great Elder appeared not far away. Zhang Yuntian and the Great Elder bowed respectfully to the woman. “Greetings, Ancestor.”
The woman nodded slightly and regained her composure. “Is there something?”
Zhang Yuntian hesitated for a moment before saying, “It is like this. We just received notice that Immortal Treasure Pavilion has issued a level twelve wanted order against Young Master Ye. Moreover, Immortal Treasure Pavilion has come to warn Spirit Void Divine Land that if we continue to keep Young Master Ye here, they will blacklist Spirit Void Divine Land and target us…”
He looked at Ye Guan and gave a bitter smile. “Young Master Ye, Spirit Void Divine Land really cannot withstand this pressure.”
Ye Guan nodded slightly. “I understand. I will leave Spirit Void Divine Land right away. Sorry for causing trouble for Spirit Void Divine Land.”
With that, he prepared to depart.
But at that moment, the woman suddenly grabbed Zhang Yuntian. She flew into a rage. “Cannot withstand what? What did you say? Come here, you no longer need to be sect leader.”
She pointed at Ye Guan. “You do it instead. You can handle it.”
Ye Guan: “…”
Zhang Yuntian: “???”
