Chapter 605: The Guardian Temple

“Guardian Temple?”

Xiao Yufan’s eyebrows slightly lifted. Obviously, this was the first time he had heard of the so-called Guardian Temple. Could it be that above the hidden aristocratic families, there was something he didn’t yet know?

“Exactly as the name suggests, the Guardian Temple is the protective force of the Chinese land. These forces have basically been passed down from over a thousand years ago, and some are even direct descendants of the Yellow Emperor. Their existence safeguards the very foundation of China, unshakable and unchallenged!”

Feeling Xiao Yufan’s confusion, Zhong Jian Wu Feng, who had been sitting nearby with eyes closed in meditation, slowly opened his mouth. He actually knew a lot more about these secret Guardian Temple organizations.

“I see…”

His astonished expression gradually returned to normal as Xiao Yufan let out a long breath. It seemed he had indeed become somewhat out of touch. The fact that China had stood firm for thousands of years naturally came with many secrets. These Guardian Temples probably wouldn’t appear unless China faced a major crisis.

“If there are even more powerful hidden aristocratic families or Guardian Temples, why would they secretly support the hidden Guo family in holding a martial arts conference?”

Xiao Yufan still felt puzzled. Could it be that these Guardian Temples had been too idle for too long, with nothing better to do, so they created such a boring event?

“I don’t quite understand this either. However, this martial arts conference must be quite valuable. Decades ago, there was once a martial arts conference among hidden aristocratic families, but it was extremely secretive. Only some of the top hidden families participated, while other families didn’t even show up!”

Wang Changfeng had merely heard of the existence of the Guardian Temples but didn’t know their true strength. Yet, to become the guardian force of China, their power couldn’t possibly be ordinary.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the entire hall became somewhat tense and heavy. Evidently, the existence of the Guardian Temples had sparked some complicated thoughts in their minds…

“Although the Guardian Temple is powerful, it doesn’t mean it’s invincible. Not long ago, one of the Guardian Temples confronted the Heaven Alliance, yet now our Heaven Alliance experts are still standing against them. So, the Guardian Temple is just a name with a bit more clout!”

A lazy voice sounded again. This time, Xiao Yufan’s mouth was already wide open in shock. No wonder earlier Zhong Jian Wu Feng had mentioned that his grandfather had some matters to handle. It turned out that there had been a conflict with the Guardian Temple.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yufan couldn’t help but swallow hard. Just hearing the name of the Guardian Temple was frightening enough. Yet his grandfather’s Heaven Alliance could stand against them, indicating something—his grandfather’s strength must have reached the peak…

Wang Changfeng also clicked his tongue in amazement. He had known that the Heaven Alliance was powerful, so much so that even some mighty hidden aristocratic families couldn’t do anything to them. But now, it seemed he had underestimated the Heaven Alliance’s strength. The more he realized this, the more determined he became about his own decision.

“Right now, the Heaven Alliance can only stand against some weaker Guardian Temples. As for those Guardian Temples with ancient and terrifying experts, we old fellows would rather not get involved!”

Shaking his head with a smile, Zhong Jian Wu Feng knew how shocking this information must be to Xiao Yufan and the others, so he added further explanation. Even so, it still didn’t change their perception.

Xiao Yufan suddenly felt enlightened. No wonder his grandfather dared to challenge the hidden Huangpu family and previously even completely destroyed the hidden Guo family. Only the so-called Guardian Temple could probably possess such terrifying strength. Suddenly, he felt quite fortunate himself…

But no matter what, he still needed to go and see this martial arts conference. At the very least, he wanted to stir up some trouble and make the hidden Guo family pay a price. If the hidden Guo family really succeeded, wouldn’t their power rise rapidly?
