The Ancient Martial Arts Conference was originally intended by the hidden Guo family to seize the dominant position among the hidden aristocratic families. Not only would the older generation of powerful experts appear, but the younger generation’s experts would also make their presence known. Xiao Yufan’s target was precisely them.
Although Guo Junyu and Guo Chen were indeed powerful, in Xiao Yufan’s eyes, they posed no real threat.
However, how could the hidden Guo family’s foundation be weak? Moreover, behind them might lie a formidable force. In a short time, it was entirely possible for the younger generation of the hidden Guo family to experience rapid growth in strength, and how things would unfold afterward remained to be seen.
Regardless of the strength of the hidden Guo family’s younger generation, Xiao Yufan had no significant concerns. With the Spirit-Enhancing Pill, he had a high chance of reaching the peak of the Gathering Realm, and with the Dragon-Controlling True Art, even a true expert of the Late Heaven Stage would not intimidate him.
After quietly spending a few days with the women, Xiao Yufan secluded himself to break through to the peak of the Gathering Realm…
As time passed, the Ancient Martial Arts Conference was only a few days away, yet Xiao Yufan still showed no signs of emerging from seclusion. Even Hong Zhong, who had never left Linjiang, had begun to feel worried.
At this moment, within the hidden Guo family…
Guo family’s elder gazed at the several young experts before him, a faint smile appearing on his lips. It seemed this time, the hidden Guo family would shine brilliantly at the Ancient Martial Arts Conference. Simply based on the current strength of the younger generation, they were likely no weaker than those Guardian Temples.
“Chenchen, Junyu, this time it’s up to you two. The younger generations of other hidden families are no pushovers, so don’t disgrace the Guo family name!”
Looking at the two figures standing at the forefront—Guo Chen and Guo Junyu—the elder nodded approvingly. On the day Guo Chen had been brought back, his arm had been crippled, but now, there wasn’t the slightest trace of resentment on his face.
“Rest assured, Grandfather. This time, the hidden Guo family will definitely shine at the Ancient Martial Arts Conference!”
A flash of cold light flickered in Guo Chen’s eyes, his expression slightly stiff. If Xiao Yufan had been here now, he would surely have been shocked, for Guo Chen’s aura was already no weaker than that of Hong Zhong at the peak of the Gathering Realm…
At this moment, Guo Chen’s heart was filled only with killing intent toward Xiao Yufan. If they met again, he had absolute confidence that he could repay every humiliation he had suffered.
Xiao Yufan had crippled his arm before—this time, Guo Chen would ensure that Xiao Yufan paid a heavy price. No one could trample over Guo Chen, not even the grandson of the Heaven Alliance Sect Leader.
Guo Hongguang noticed the icy glint in Guo Chen’s eyes but said nothing. Only by rising from where one had fallen could one become a true expert. If previously he had deeply feared the Heaven Alliance, now he had sufficient qualifications to challenge them head-on.
Because behind the hidden Guo family stood even more powerful hidden aristocratic families and Guardian Temples, as well as experts of profound and unfathomable strength…
This time, the hidden Guo family’s goal was none other than the dominant position among the hidden aristocratic families. With the revival of ancient martial arts, the martial world’s return into the public spotlight would require proper organization. Otherwise, chaos would surely erupt across China.
At that time, the various Guardian Temples would certainly oppose such a move fiercely. This was also why, in the past, all hidden aristocratic families had an unwritten rule: martial experts were not allowed to enter the secular world, and even if they did, they could not engage in combat. This was solely to prevent chaos within China.
Just as the hidden Guo family was indulging in their daydreams, at Zifeng Apartment, Xiao Yufan—who had locked himself away all this time—stepped out of his seclusion…
