Chapter 127: Changes in the World
Tianyuan Domain

Xuanjing City

"You're not going anywhere!"

A middle-aged man with a moustache shouted angrily, then he threw the woman behind him into the room. With a wave of his hand, a curtain of light appeared and covered the entire room. No matter how the woman slapped, it was useless.

"Reflect on yourself, you have brought shame upon your grandfather!"

"You old bastard, let me out!" The woman cursed as she punched and kicked the light curtain.

"Humph, you damned girl are such a disgrace! Li Guiyuan doesn't even take you seriously, but you, a stupid girl, rushed over eagerly when you heard the news!"

The man with the mustache snorted coldly. This was exactly why his family was unhappy with Li Guiyuan.

He has only this one daughter, and Xiao Ling is the most outstanding one among the third generation of descendants in the entire marquis's mansion. It would be fine if she was married to that rascal Li Guiyuan, as they are considered a good match anyway.

But the boy's indifferent attitude really annoyed him.

In fact, warriors don't care about trivial matters. Even though that bastard has affairs with so many women, that's nothing. But it's absolutely unacceptable for that bastard not to be given a legitimate status!

"I'm telling you, your grandfather has already noticed this, so you better take care of yourself! Humph!"

After saying this, the man with a mustache turned around and left.

After a while, the man with a mustache came to the center hall and asked an old man in a brocade robe, "Father, what do you think about the Tongcheng incident?"

"What do you think? Humph, it's not as simple as Ye Yuying and Yanxing said!" Yaoguang Hou frowned and said in a deep voice.

"But since that person has already come forward, we should not interfere in this matter anymore." Then he waved his hand again.

Shangguan Qing nodded solemnly. It was true. No matter what secrets Tongcheng had, they didn't dare to delve too deeply into the matter involving that person. Anyway, there were some people who were more urgent than them.

"As for Xiao Ling... lock her up for a while and then let her be!" sighed Yaoguang Hou.

"This……"

Shangguan Qing hesitated: "Such entanglement will damage the reputation of our mansion!"

"Humph, my reputation is earned through hard work! Why should I care about what others say? Who dares to really ruin the reputation of my mansion?"

Yaoguang Hou slammed the table and said domineeringly.

"Ugh!"

Shangguan Qing sighed deeply and finally nodded.

"Since Li Guiyuan can break through the true Qi at this age, he may have some hope of being granted a title of nobility in the future. It won't be an insult to Xiao Ling." Marquis Yaoguang sighed.

"This……"

Shangguan Qing couldn't believe it. You know, even among the warriors with the divine power, only a very small number can be granted the title of marquis. Although Li Guiyuan looks good, doesn't his father think too highly of him?

"There is a long way to go, and we will see the result in the future!"

"The key is that Xiao Ling likes her, and I don't want to be the bad guy!" Hou Yaoguang said helplessly.

"You just spoil her too much!" Shangguan Qing shook his head.

"Oh, who made you grown men so useless?" Hou Yaoguang glanced at him.

Shangguan Qing scratched his head a little embarrassedly. It was true that their mansion was dominated by more women than men. Then he immediately remembered something.

"Xiao Hong broke through the fourth realm of Taoism. Did you give him the inheritance?"

Yaoguang Hou paused, and said with a hint of satisfaction: "Well, this kid is not bad, he didn't disappoint me."

“Although Xiaohong does not have a good talent in martial arts, he is extremely gifted in Taoism. My efforts in seeking inheritance for him are worth it!” Marquis Yaoguang said with a smile, stroking his white beard.

"Uh, how come I don't know about this?" Shangguan Qing asked puzzledly.

"Humph! I told you to pay more attention to your children. How can you be close to them when you only gave birth to them but didn't raise them?"

Marquis Yaoguang sternly taught him: "No matter how talented they are, they are all my direct descendants. We must not neglect them!"

"I will remember what my father taught me!" Shangguan Qing knelt down hurriedly and lowered his head.

“If only I could remember it!”

Marquis Yaoguang shook his head helplessly. This son was too profit-oriented. He only cared about profit and ignored family affection. He was really unlike me!

As for the matter between Xiao Ling and Li Guiyuan, the reason why he could just let it go so easily was because he saw that the boy had recovered his extraordinary talent, right?

Moreover, Li Guiyuan has a close relationship with Jun Wumian, and this stupid son is probably also thinking of getting close to him.

"Forget it, forget it. I can't take care of you after I die anyway. Just go with it!" Marquis Yaoguang waved his hand.

Shangguan Qing was horrified and kowtowed several times in a hurry: "Father, why do you say that? You still have a lot of life left!"

"That's enough, I'm tired of hearing you talk so much!"

Hou Yaoguang knocked on the table and Shangguan Qing quickly stood up. He knew that his father hated these things the most.

"Do we need to call Xiaohong back?" Shangguan Qing asked tentatively.

"No need. Didn't another demon source channel appear in Tongcheng? I heard that they also destroyed the demon territory on the opposite side?"

"Good fight!" Yaoguang Hou slapped his thigh and praised.

"In that case, there will definitely be fighting over there, so it's a good opportunity for him to gain some experience."

"Father said so."

Shangguan Qing nodded.

Then he asked with emotion: "Have you heard of Fang Chen's name?"

"The disciple of that kid Li Guiyuan?"

Yaoguang Hou said sternly: "It is indeed remarkable that he can achieve such an achievement at this age, but talent alone is not enough for the path of martial arts. If he wants to have any hope, he needs to be observed for at least ten years."

Fang Chen is too young and his realm is low. His road in martial arts will be full of ups and downs. If we really want to see his future achievements, he must at least reach the level of Li Guiyuan.

Of course, what Yaoguang Hou was talking about was Fang Chen's hope of breaking through Juntian or even above. Yunshen should be a piece of cake for Fang Chen. If it's fast, he may be able to break through in a hundred years. This is the consensus of the top forces.

"So, this Fang Chen is better than his master?" Shangguan Qing asked with a strange look in his eyes.

Hou Yaoguang paused and nodded silently. It seemed to be true now.

"Tsk, Li Guiyuan is really lucky. It's just a small county, I don't know how such a great talent could appear."

"Then... Father, I have received news that Li Guiyuan and Fang Chen want to build a demon-slaying city. All the blood-coagulating warriors in Liuzhou can enter the demon source world through that passage. I want the younger generation in my family to go there to gain some experience." Shangguan Qingsi asked after a moment.

"Oh? These two little guys have such a vision?" Hou Yaoguang smiled in surprise.

Once any other family got a passage, they would cover it tightly. Some even tried to block it with force even if they couldn't stop it, which eventually led to a tragedy.

"Well, I heard that the Tongcheng Passage belongs to Lord Liuying Hou, but Li Guiyuan has also been named the Lord of Demon Slayer City. If you want to go in, you need a ticket worth one hundred gold." Shangguan Qing explained.

Hou Yaoguang was stunned for a moment, then he burst into laughter. With Ye Yuying's personality, she would definitely not try to grab a passage. It seemed that she was supporting these two little guys!

"Two little rascals!"

Yaoguang Hou smiled and said that he was not disgusted by this utilitarianism, but rather appreciated this model.

"Well, go down and organize it. Let all the outstanding young men in your family go. I believe that Marquis Liuying will still give me this favor."

"Yes, father!"

Shangguan Qing lowered his head hastily to answer. Marquis Yaoguang shook his head in his heart. He naturally knew what his son was planning, but the Marquis's Mansion did seem to be in a period of transition recently. He was also very optimistic about this little guy Fang Chen. If he could really help them find a marriage, everyone would be happy.

"Just don't let Xiao Ling become like this again..." Yaoguang Hou sighed in his heart, suddenly having a bad feeling.

……

In a dark palace
A dishevelled, bearded man was holding a few pieces of jade in his hands, lost in thought. After a long while, he murmured in a voice that sounded like he was laughing and crying:

"Brother, what on earth did you go to do?"

Although he had a bad feeling when his senior brother passed the sect's inheritance to him, he still couldn't believe that his senior brother, who had reached the middle fifth level of Taoism, would suddenly die.

With my brother's profound knowledge of Taoism, he can escape even from the hands of a cultivator in the sixth realm!
“Senior brother…” A look of grief flashed across the bearded man’s eyes. After the death of his senior brother, he was the only fifth-level cultivator left in the Demonic Heaven Sect. His status in the Chaos World would also decline sharply. What would be the future of the sect?

After thinking for a long time, he finally made a seal with his hands. He must see the truth behind his senior brother's death!
Even though this goes against the instructions left by my senior brother before he left!

"Buzz~"

As the seal changed, the broken jade made a humming sound, and a transparent light curtain slowly emerged. But before he could take a closer look, the light curtain shattered in an instant, and the broken jade suspended in the air completely turned into powder and disappeared.

"how come?"

The bearded man quickly reached out to grab it, but unfortunately, only particles of dust fell into his palm.

……

Xuanyang Sect

Xuanyang Peak

This is the master of the Nine Peaks of Xuanyang and also the seat of the Nine Peaks Council.

Xuanyang Sect does not have a sect leader. Normally, each sect leader acts independently. If there is a major event, the nine peak hall masters will discuss it together. The hall master of Xuanyang Peak is in the first place and has the decision-making power. If the hall master is not present, the two deputy hall masters will take over.

Nine figures gathered together in the Xuanyang Palace, which had been silent today.

"Everyone should have known about the Tongcheng incident. What do you think?"

Right above the hall, a middle-aged man in a fiery red robe with red eyebrows and beard glanced around and spoke softly.

"Is the matter in Tongcheng really related to your master? Hasn't he been in seclusion?" An old man in Taoist robes asked a short-haired man.

"How could Master tell me about his actions?" The short-haired man cupped his hands and shook his head helplessly.

"Besides, you must have verified it with your magical powers, right? Why ask again? Is there anyone in the world who can fake the aura of Master?"

The old man in Taoist robes paused for a moment, and said, "That's not what I meant, but... it would be best if... that person could come out and explain the matter of Tongcheng."

"Master does not need to explain his actions to anyone, so you don't need to mention this matter any more!"

The short-haired man flicked his sleeves and said sternly, "A few days ago, our master said that I will definitely come out of seclusion within three years. You can go ask him yourself when the time comes!"

"you!"

The old man in Taoist robe pointed at the short-haired man with trembling lips, but the latter remained unmoved and even sneered, “This time I am doing exactly what my master said and use courtesy before force!”
The other peak masters remained silent, while some watched the show with amusement in their eyes.

"enough!"

The Xuanyang Palace Master shouted angrily, and then said in a muffled voice: "Yuan Hao, the Qixia Palace Master is the elder of the sect, you need to respect him!"

"Yes!"

Yuan Hao bowed indifferently.

"Let's not talk about the Tongcheng incident for now. What about Li Guiyuan?" A woman in palace dress looked at Yuan Hao and asked.

"What does Palace Master Yunyin mean?"

Yuan Hao frowned and said, "I have never seen Gui Yuan since he left the sect forty years ago. If you want to ask why he is not injured at all, you have to wait for Master to come out of retreat."

Seeing Yuan Hao's ignorant and unafraid look, many people in the hall felt depressed but helpless.

"Okay! Let's not talk about Li Guiyuan for now, what about Fang Chen?"

The old man in Taoist robes gritted his teeth.

"Oh? You actually pay attention to such a junior?" Yuan Hao seemed very surprised.

"Oh, a seventeen-year-old warrior with the energy and vitality of a sun, maybe he is actually a rising Juntian warrior. It's hard for me not to pay attention to him even if I want to!" The old man in Taoist robe said in an odd voice.

"Ah, you really overpraise me. Fang Chen has only made rapid progress now. Jun Tian's talk is nonsense and not worth mentioning!"

"Hmph! Logically he should be a disciple of my Xuanyang Sect. Why hasn't he joined the sect for so long?" The old man in Taoist robe snorted coldly.

Yuan Hao slapped his forehead and suddenly realized: "Oh! I know this. Master said that he assigned a long-term task to Fang Chen. He may not be able to return to the sect in a short time."

"Ok?"

The old man in Taoist robe widened his eyes, and some people turned their heads away helplessly.

"How dare you treat me perfunctorily?!"

The old man in Taoist robes was furious. The woman in palace dress and the three hall masters who had remained silent all spoke up: "Yuan Hao! How can such a talented person like Fang Chen be left alone? It is for his own good to let him return to the clan!"

"laugh!"

Yuan Hao sneered in his heart and looked at them coldly.

At this time, the last two hall masters also spoke up. One of them, a burly, bare-chested man, said, "Hmph, Taoist Youzhen, Fang Chen is from Yuanxu Peak. Why do you need to talk too much?"

"You barbarian, isn't this what I did for the sake of the sect?" the old man in Taoist robes shouted angrily.

"Oh, who knows? Also, if you keep talking nonsense, I will tear down your Qixia Peak!" The big man warned with his arms folded across his chest.

"you dare!"

"Enough of the trouble!"

The voice of the Lord of Xuanyang Palace was like muffled thunder. The Lords of other Palaces looked at each other, and the palace suddenly became quiet.

"As the leader of a mountain, how can you be so rude as to scold a shrew in the street?"

The master of Xuanyang Palace scolded angrily.

"Since Fang Chen has returned to Yuanxu Peak, the Yuanxu Palace Master naturally has the right to make arrangements!"

His words put an end to the matter. The old men in Taoist robes stammered a few times and didn't say anything else.

Yuan Hao narrowed his eyes and looked at the Master of Xuanyang Palace. This was the only person among the other eight palaces whom he could not understand.

"Alright, that's enough!"

The master of Xuanyang Palace disappeared with a wave of his sleeves. Seeing this, the masters of other palaces also left one after another. The Nine Peaks Council ended in such an anticlimactic way.

Yuanxu Peak Cliff
A handsome man in a black robe stood on the edge of the cliff, looking up at the fiery red clouds above his head. Behind him was Mu Yan, who was standing with his head bent.

"Why don't you attend this parliamentary meeting?" Mu Yan looked up and asked in confusion.

"What am I going to do? To be their vanguard?" Mu Shenxiu said indifferently.

"This..." Mu Yan paused.

"Oh, there won't be any results in the end anyway, why should I do something that would make people dislike me?"

Mu Shenxiu raised a smile and said, "Remember, before doing anything, think about whether it is worth it.

The peaks have been peaceful for so many years, and it has not yet come to the point of tearing each other apart, they are just trying to argue."

"Yes, your Excellency is wise!" Mu Yan bowed.

"What about Li Guiyuan?"

"Li Guiyuan...Alas!"

Mu Shenxiu sighed and muttered, "The Palace Master is really willing to give up."

"Forget it. This guy has become a big shot. What happened back then has nothing to do with us. There's no need to provoke him again."

"Then...what about Fang Chen? What about Yuliang..." Mu Yan asked tentatively.

Unlike Li Guiyuan who has already achieved true Qi, Fang Chen should be qualified to compete for that opportunity. Under this circumstance, it may not be possible for Yu Liang to succeed in three years!

"Humph! You are not doing your best..."

Mu Shenxiu said in a cold voice, and finally turned his head after thinking for a moment: "Let him practice hard on his own, why should the warriors of my Mu family be afraid of a fight?"

After saying that, he threw a wooden box over and said, "Give it to him! This is the limit of my help! If it weren't for big brother..."

Having said this, he suddenly closed his mouth and let out a heavy sigh. Mu Yan also lowered his head with a sad look in his eyes.

It's such a pity for that genius. If he were alive today, he might have been able to become a marquis, right?
