Although the feud between Tianmeng and the hidden Guo family had come into the open, after the Ancient Martial Arts Conference, Master Situ did not choose to take action…
The hidden martial arts world was already chaotic enough, and Master Situ didn’t want to be manipulated by others. If he truly wiped out the hidden Guo family, it might trigger another wave of turmoil. The more chaotic the hidden martial arts world became, the more advantageous it was for certain people to confuse the situation.
Of course, not wiping out the hidden Guo family didn’t mean doing nothing!
Master Situ alone severely injured several elders of the hidden Guo family. Even Guo Hongguang, who was on the verge of the Tian Ling realm, was defeated in a single move by the old master!
With no embellishment, a seemingly light palm strike almost crippled the head of the hidden Guo family. Everyone gained a new understanding of the Tianmeng Sect Leader’s strength. No wonder Tianmeng could rival the Guardian Temple!
One man was enough to sweep away an entire hidden aristocratic family. Only the word “terrifying” could describe such power.
The force behind the hidden Guo family did not emerge, or perhaps from the beginning, the hidden Guo family was merely a discarded pawn. Only a fool would recklessly serve as someone else’s tool.
Since Tianmeng had not taken action, other factions, even if they disliked the hidden Guo family, would still be cautious. After all, the origins of Xue Hanzi were still unclear. If he truly had close ties with the hidden Guo family, being targeted by such a powerful expert was undoubtedly a bad thing.
Although the feud between the Tian Alliance and the hidden Guo family had been brought to the surface, after the Ancient Martial Arts Conference, Elder Situ chose not to take immediate action…
The hidden martial world was already chaotic enough, and Elder Situ didn’t want to be manipulated. If the hidden Guo family were truly eradicated, it might stir up another wave of turmoil. The more chaotic the hidden martial world became, the more it would benefit those who sought to obscure the truth.
Of course, not destroying the hidden Guo family didn’t mean doing nothing at all!
With his own strength, Elder Situ severely injured several of the hidden Guo family’s elders, including Guo Hongguang, who was half a step into the Heavenly Spirit Realm. Under Elder Situ’s hand, he was defeated in a single move!
A seemingly light and unadorned palm strike nearly crippled the head of the hidden Guo family. Everyone gained a new understanding of the Tian Alliance leader’s strength. No wonder the Tian Alliance could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Guardian Temple!
One person was enough to sweep through an entire hidden family. Such power could only be described as terrifying.
The forces behind the hidden Guo family did not step forward, or perhaps from the very beginning, the hidden Guo family was just a discarded pawn. Only a fool would willingly be used as a tool by others.
Since the Tian Alliance did not take action, other forces, even if they disliked the hidden Guo family, would still be cautious. After all, the origins of the Blood Cold One were still unclear. If there was indeed a close connection with the hidden Guo family, being targeted by such a powerful figure would not be a good thing.
The initial purpose of the Ancient Martial Arts Conference was also achieved. After the turmoil, both the hidden world and the Guardian Temple had lifted their veils of mystery. However, an unwritten rule had formed in the hidden martial world: experts who surpassed the Innate Realm were not allowed to interfere in secular affairs.
It was no wonder such a rule existed. Take the Dark Gate, for example. Although the Dark Gate was the emperor of the northern underground empire, if a Spirit Realm or even Heavenly Spirit Realm expert wanted to cause trouble for the Dark Gate, they could easily annihilate the entire underground empire in minutes.
It had been a few days since returning to Linjiang. Spending every day with the women around him gave Xiao Yufan an indescribable sense of contentment…
“Ah, comparing people leads to death, comparing goods leads to throwing them away. You have so many beautiful women by your side, while I’m still a lonely bachelor. This scene only adds to my sorrow!”
Basking in the sunlight, Xiao Yufan squinted his eyes and then felt someone appear beside him. The voice of complaint soon followed. This guy had been thinking for so long and still hadn’t left.
“If you flaunt your identity as the young master of the hidden Hong family, countless women would throw themselves at you. It’s a pity that with such a strong aura, you don’t know where to use it!”
“I’m not interested in ordinary women. Matters of the heart can’t be rushed.”
Hong Zhong’s face darkened. This guy really didn’t understand the struggles of people like them. Every woman by his side was a stunning beauty, a true femme fatale.
“Decided to stay in China and not return to the UK?”
Xiao Yufan didn’t want to argue with him on this matter. Although Hong Zhong had some of the arrogance of a young master from a prominent family, he was far from being a frivolous playboy. He was quite an oddity, which was why the two could become friends.
“Life in the UK is too comfortable. I prefer a more exciting life. The hidden martial world in China is becoming more and more fascinating. It would be a shame to miss it!”
Sitting down, a smile appeared on Hong Zhong’s lips. He wasn’t sure if staying was the right decision, but his intuition told him that life in China would be more exciting than in the UK. He wasn’t used to a dull existence.
“Indeed, the hidden martial world in China is full of excitement, but haven’t you sensed a hint of danger?”
Although Xiao Yufan hadn’t known Hong Zhong for long, he understood his personality. Since Hong Zhong had made up his mind, he would definitely stay in China. As for what he planned to do, Xiao Yufan didn’t care to delve into it.
“As the saying goes, heroes emerge in troubled times. The more dangerous it is, the more thrilling it becomes!” Licking his upper lip, a strange glint appeared in Hong Zhong’s eyes.
“Suit yourself. I’m just curious, how did the hidden Hong family allow their future heir to stay in China? Aren’t they afraid that someone might use you to threaten the family?”
It had to be admitted that Hong Zhong’s talent was not weak. Without relying on external forces, he had reached the Postnatal Realm. If he were placed in the Guardian Temple, he might not be weaker than people like Nuo Tiangong and Ye Kong.
“Hehe, staying in China means I have your protection. Who would dare to cause trouble on the territory of the Tian Alliance’s young master?”
Hong Zhong chuckled, looking at Xiao Yufan with a hint of expectation. The general idea was: please take me in, please protect me…
“Get lost! You’re not a woman, and I have no interest in you. You’d better tone down that young master attitude of yours, or if something happens to you, don’t blame me!”
Xiao Yufan felt a headache coming on. For a moment, he wished this guy would just leave China. He was nothing but trouble. The elder of the hidden Hong family had even approached him before. If something happened to Hong Zhong, he couldn’t just stand by and do nothing.
Not to mention that the Spirit Ascension Pill had been a great help to him. Just the fact that this guy had stepped forward to persuade the Hu family elder to let Yingluo stay in China was a huge favor. He couldn’t just ignore him.
But the question was, was Hong Zhong the type to stay out of trouble?
On the first day back in China, he had already provoked Gong Hao and his gang. Who knew what kind of trouble he would stir up if he stayed? But seeing his sheepish expression, Xiao Yufan didn’t say anything more.
“Brother Xiao, you’re suave and unparalleled, the modern-day Chen Shimei—no, the modern-day…”
“Speak plainly!”
Before Hong Zhong could finish, Xiao Yufan interrupted him. This guy wasn’t the type to flatter. He must have something he needed help with.
“Well, my strength has just reached the early Postnatal Realm. If someone targets me one day, it’ll be trouble for you. So, teach me three or four sets of ancient martial arts for self-defense. That way, there won’t be so many headaches in the future!”
Clearing his throat, Hong Zhong grinned. During the Ancient Martial Arts Conference, the ancient martial arts Xiao Yufan displayed had dazzled many, including Hong Zhong. Naturally, he had his eyes on these techniques that far surpassed traditional martial arts. With powerful ancient martial arts, he could hold his own even against peak Postnatal Realm experts.
Xiao Yufan’s mouth twitched violently. He was momentarily speechless. This guy really thought ancient martial arts were some kind of cheap commodity. Even hidden families might not possess a single set of ancient martial arts, and this guy was asking for three or four…
It’s no wonder such a rule came into being. Take the Dark Sect, for example. Although it is the emperor of the entire northern underground kingdom, if experts at the Tong Ling realm or even the Tian Ling realm wanted to cause trouble for the Dark Sect, they could probably destroy the massive underground empire in minutes.
It had already been several days since returning to Linjiang. Spending all his time with the women brought Xiao Yufan an indescribable sense of ease…
“Ah, people die from comparison, and goods are thrown away when compared. You have so many beautiful women around you, while I’m still all alone. Such a scene only adds to my sorrow!”
Basking in the sunlight, Xiao Yufan squinted his eyes and then felt someone’s presence beside him. A somewhat complaining voice followed. This guy had been thinking for so long and still hadn’t left.
“If you showed off your identity as the young master of the hidden Hong family, countless women would throw themselves into your arms. Unfortunately, you don’t know how to use your impressive aura in the right places!”
“I have no interest in ordinary beauties. Matters of the heart can’t be rushed!”
Hong Zhong was speechless. This guy really could talk without feeling any pain. Every woman around him was a beauty capable of causing chaos, and he couldn’t understand the bitterness and frustration of people like them at all.
“You’ve decided to stay in China and not return to the UK for now?”
Xiao Yufan didn’t want to argue with him over this issue. Although Hong Zhong had the arrogance of a young master from a prominent family, he lacked the flamboyance of a spoiled rich kid. He was indeed an oddity, which was why the two could become friends.
“Life in the UK is too comfortable. I prefer a more exciting lifestyle. The martial arts world in China is becoming more and more fascinating. If I missed it, wouldn’t that be a huge loss?”
Sitting down casually, Hong Zhong’s lips curved into a slight smile. He wasn’t sure whether staying in China was the right decision, but his intuition told him that life in China would be more exciting than in the UK. He had never liked that boring lifestyle anyway.
“Indeed, the hidden martial arts world in China is far more exciting, but haven’t you sensed a hint of danger?”
Although Xiao Yufan hadn’t known Hong Zhong for long, he somewhat understood his personality. Since the latter had made up his mind to stay in China, as for what he wanted to do, Xiao Yufan was too lazy to interfere.
“As the saying goes, heroes emerge in turbulent times. The more dangerous it is, the more thrilling it becomes!” Hong Zhong licked his upper lip, his eyes flashing with an unusual light.
“Up to you. I’m just curious. How could the hidden Hong family allow you, their future heir, to stay in China? Aren’t they afraid that someone might use you to blackmail the Hong family?”
It had to be admitted that Hong Zhong’s talent was impressive. Reaching the Later Heaven realm without external help, if he were placed within the Guardian Temple, he probably wouldn’t be inferior to people like Nuo Tiangong and Ye Kong by now.
“Hehe, staying in China, I still have your protection, right? Now who dares to cause trouble on the territory of the young master of Tianmeng?”
Hong Zhong chuckled, looking at Xiao Yufan with a hint of expectation in his eyes. In short, it was a look that said, “Please take me in, please protect me…”
“Get lost. You’re not a woman, so I have no interest in you. I suggest you better restrain your young master’s temper, or don’t blame me if you really end up dead!”
Feeling somewhat troubled, Xiao Yufan couldn’t help but wish this guy would leave China. This was just adding trouble for himself. Previously, the old master of the hidden Hong family had even approached him. If something really happened to Hong Zhong, he naturally couldn’t stand by and do nothing.
Not to mention, the Pill of Soul Ascension had helped him greatly. Not to mention, this guy had even stood up for him and convinced the old master of the Hu family to let Yingluo stay in China. That alone was a big favor. He couldn’t just ignore him.
The problem was, was Hong Zhong the kind of person who would stay out of trouble?
On the very first day he returned to China, he had already provoked a few guys like Gong Hao. Xiao Yufan really didn’t know whether letting him stay would bring even more trouble. Seeing his crestfallen expression, Xiao Yufan didn’t say anything else.
Although the feud between the Tian Alliance and the hidden Guo family has been brought to the surface, after the Ancient Martial Arts Conference, Elder Situ chose not to take immediate action…
The hidden martial world is already chaotic enough, and Elder Situ didn’t want to be manipulated. If the hidden Guo family were truly annihilated, it might stir up another wave of turmoil. The more chaotic the hidden martial world becomes, the more it benefits those who seek to obscure the truth.
Of course, not destroying the hidden Guo family doesn’t mean doing nothing at all!
With his own strength, Elder Situ severely injured several of the hidden Guo family’s elders, including Guo Hongguang, who was half a step into the Heavenly Spirit Realm. Under Elder Situ’s hand, he was defeated in a single move!

The forces behind the hidden Guo family did not step forward, or perhaps from the very beginning, the hidden Guo family was just a discarded pawn. Only a fool would willingly act as someone else’s weapon.
Since the Tian Alliance did not take action, other forces, even if they disliked the hidden Guo family, would still have reservations. After all, the origins of the Blood Cold One are still unclear. If he truly has close ties with the hidden Guo family, being targeted by such a powerful figure would be a bad thing.

“Show off your identity as the young master of the hidden Hong family, and countless women would throw themselves at you. It’s a pity you don’t know where to use such a powerful aura!”
“I’m not interested in ordinary women. When it comes to feelings, you can’t rush it.”
Hong Zhong’s face darkened. This guy really speaks without feeling the pain. Every woman around him is a stunning beauty, completely oblivious to the struggles and frustrations of people like him.
“Decided to stay in China for now, not returning to the UK?”
Xiao Yufan didn’t bother arguing with him on this matter. Although Hong Zhong carries some of the arrogance of a young master from a prominent family, he lacks the frivolity of a spoiled heir. He’s quite an oddity, which is why the two could become friends.

“Suit yourself. I’m just curious, why would the hidden Hong family let their future heir stay in China? Aren’t they afraid someone might use you to threaten the family?”
It must be admitted that Hong Zhong’s talent is not weak. Reaching the Post-Heaven Realm without external help, if he were placed in the Guardian Temple, he might not be weaker than Nuo Tiangong or Ye Kong.
“Hehe, staying in China means I have your protection. Who would dare to mess with the Tian Alliance’s young master’s territory now?”
Hong Zhong chuckled, looking at Xiao Yufan with a hint of expectation. The general idea was: please take me in, please protect me…
“Get lost! You’re not a woman, I have no interest in you. I suggest you tone down that young master attitude, or if something happens, don’t blame me!”

On his first day back in China, he already provoked Gong Hao and his gang. Who knows what kind of trouble he’ll stir up if he stays? But seeing his sheepish expression, Xiao Yufan didn’t say anything more.
“Brother Xiao, you’re dashing and unparalleled, the modern-day Chen Shimei, no, the modern-day…”
“Speak plainly!”
Before Hong Zhong could finish, Xiao Yufan interrupted him. This guy isn’t the type to flatter, so he must be asking for something.
“My strength has just reached the early Post-Heaven stage. If someone targets me one day, it’ll be trouble for you. So, teach me three or four sets of ancient martial arts for self-defense. That way, there’ll be fewer headaches in the future!”
Coughing lightly, Hong Zhong grinned. During the Ancient Martial Arts Conference, the martial arts Xiao Yufan displayed dazzled many, including Hong Zhong. Naturally, he’s set his sights on ancient martial arts that far surpass traditional Chinese martial arts. With powerful ancient martial arts, he could hold his own even against Post-Heaven peak experts.
Xiao Yufan’s mouth twitched violently. This guy really thinks ancient martial arts are cheap goods? Even hidden families might not possess a single set of ancient martial arts, and this guy’s asking for three or four…
“Speak plainly!”
Before Hong Zhong could finish his sentence, Xiao Yufan had already interrupted him. This guy didn’t seem like the kind to flatter someone for no reason. He must have something he wanted to ask of him.
“You see, my cultivation is only at the early Later Heaven stage. If someone targets me one day, wouldn’t that be causing you trouble? So, teach me three or four ancient martial arts techniques to protect myself. That way, there won’t be so many annoying problems in the future!”
Hong Zhong coughed dryly, grinning. During the Ancient Martial Arts Conference, the martial arts techniques Xiao Yufan displayed dazzled many people. Naturally, Hong Zhong had also coveted those martial arts techniques that far surpassed national martial arts. If he possessed powerful ancient martial arts techniques, he would not be at a disadvantage even when facing experts at the Later Heaven peak.
Xiao Yufan’s lips twitched violently as he fell silent, speechless. Did this guy really think ancient martial arts techniques were cheap goods sold at a street stall? After all, even hidden aristocratic families might not necessarily possess a complete set of ancient martial arts techniques. And this guy was asking for three or four sets casually…
