A vast venue hidden within the Guo family’s domain resembled a grand event unparalleled in history, where countless figures gathered…
These individuals included members from hidden aristocratic families and the Guardian Temple, as well as leaders of secular clans and other influential, detached powers.
Every single person present was someone whose mere stomp could shake the entire Huaxia continent.
The greatest winner of the Ancient Martial Arts Assembly undoubtedly was the concealed Guo family. Every faction now recognized their existence, and the fact that they had the capability to initiate such a grand event spoke volumes about their strength.
Of course, everyone understood that the hidden Guo family was merely a puppet thrust into the spotlight, with a truly dominant force likely operating behind them…
Guo Hongguang beamed with delight. No matter how one looked at it, the Guo family had now gained widespread fame, and this martial arts assembly would act as a springboard for them to ascend to the position of the leading hidden family. Even if only a few smaller hidden families chose to ally with them, it would still be significant support.
If that happened, the hidden Guo family could become a formidable force rivaling the Guardian Temple. After all, even a declining Guardian Temple was still several times stronger than any hidden family.
Regarding the Guo family’s ambitious plans, some chose to wait and see, while the majority scoffed, believing the Guo family still lacked the strength to dominate among the hidden clans.
“Hehe, honored guests, thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to visit our hidden Guo family. I, Guo, am truly honored!”
A temporary stage, located almost at the center of the entire plaza, had been hastily erected. Guo Hongguang leaped onto it effortlessly, without much external aid.
Hua!
A murmur of astonishment rippled through the crowd below. Clearly, they had been impressed by Guo Hongguang’s casual display of skill. Only those at the peak of the advanced innate realm (Xiantian Dajing) could break the balance of internal energy and reach the realm of Qi. It was evident that Guo Hongguang’s strength was at least at the peak of the Xiantian Dajing.
Seeing this, some people raised their assessment of the concealed Guo family. An expert at the peak of the先天 realm might not seem that remarkable, but if he had truly transcended the先天境界, then he could only be described as “terrifying.”
“Pretentious posturing and artificial mystery—if their strength is only this, the hidden Guo family has no reason to boast at all!”
Amidst the admiration, there were also murmurs of disdain. If the head of the Guo family was merely at the先天境 level, then the hidden Guo family had no reason to be arrogant. After all, even the Heaven Alliance had more than ten experts at that level.
“You old fool, you sure do talk a lot. This martial arts assembly isn’t your lecture hall, nor a place for showing off. Finish what needs doing and step down. That place is for the younger generation!”
An impatient voice rang out. A cold glint flickered in Guo Hongguang’s eyes, but upon seeing who had spoken, his slightly dark expression gradually softened.
“It seems the hidden Guo family has more than one enemy,” many thought. Someone daring to openly challenge the head of the hidden Guo family clearly held no respect for them.
If Xiao Yufan had been there, he would have immediately recognized the speaker as the grandfather of Xian’er, the head of the hidden Huangpu family.
“It seems everyone’s minds are already set on the martial arts assembly. Then I hereby announce—the Ancient Martial Arts Assembly shall now begin!”
Even though Guo Hongguang was powerful, he dared not provoke the hidden Huangpu family. He was well aware of how formidable that old man could be. As soon as his words fell, the entire plaza erupted in excitement…
Three months after its announcement, the Ancient Martial Arts Assembly had finally begun, fulfilling everyone’s eager anticipation!
