Chapter 1691: Within the Guardians Guild

Chapter 1691: Within the Guardians Guild


Only one year was left in the compet.i.tion for the young guild master position. Recently, powerful G.o.ds had appeared all over the world. They all showcased an incredible level of influence as one powerful group after another was formed all over the world. These groups were all heading toward the Guardians Guild from all directions.


Regardless of how powerful these young G.o.ds were, without the guardians token, they wouldn"t qualify as a candidate. The token was one of the main requirements for anyone wanting to fight for the position.


Thus, many young G.o.ds were searching for the tokens. The moment news of any token appeared, intense compet.i.tion would erupt where the token was last seen. One incident in particular had caused great waves. A tier-8 sect had obtained a guardians token by fluke. As a result, a vicious young G.o.d purged the entire sect, sparing no one.


The cruelty of that incident alarmed many people. No matter how strong that young G.o.d was, n.o.body hoped to see someone so cruel become the Guardians Guild"s young guild master. Subsequently, news spread that the cruel young G.o.d was Shu Tiansha, an individual known as the G.o.d of Slaughter.


Shu Tiansha was a genius who had made his name 800 years ago. In fact, he was the founder of the Rat a.s.sa.s.sins, an organization that had become the leader of all a.s.sa.s.sination organizations 800 years ago. n.o.body knew where he was based, and n.o.body knew how far his cultivation had reached.


He became a G.o.d 500 years ago. After so many years, it was obvious that he had only grown stronger. Apart from Shu Tiansha, an expert equipped with a devilish weapon had also risen up in fame. His name was Bai Fan.


Few had heard his name before, but about six months ago, he had slain three G.o.ds while fighting over a guardians token. During the fight, he had displayed a lost technique called the Great Cosmic Heavenly Devil Manual.


The technique was created by an evil human in the past. At great mastery, the pract.i.tioner of this technique would become even more devilish than the devils. This technique would change one"s character, sink one deep into the dao of devils, and turn one into a puppet of vice. A devilish technique that could affect someone unknowingly like this was incredibly scary.


If Xiang Shaoyun heard the name Bai Fan, it was unknown if he would remember that this so-called Bai Fan was actually one of his previous opponents.


Some other previously unknown young G.o.ds also appeared, and they all created big scenes all around the world.


...


At the very center of the dominion was a floating city. The city was the size of a province. It hovered in the sky without showing any signs that it was going to drop. This was the city known as the city that would never fall, the Divine Dominion City.


The Divine Dominion City was the headquarters of the Guardians Guild. A ma.s.sive castle stood in the city, and that castle was where many of the major events of the dominion had originated.


Countless people wished to enter this city, but apart from the personnel of the Guardians Guild, everyone else had to be no weaker than the Sovereign Realm to enter. In addition to a sufficiently high cultivation level, one also needed to pay a toll of spirit crystals to enter. Every visitor would also need to have their background inspected prior to entry. One could say that the requirements for entry were extremely stringent.


The Guardians Guild had existed since ancient times, so their acc.u.mulation was at a level unimaginable to ordinary people. In fact, even after spending hundreds of thousands of years in internal dispute, they remained the strongest organization in the dominion.


The two deputy guild masters were powerhouses standing at the very peak of the dominion. They were Qin Hongyan and Gongsun Yingxiong. Like Ge Yi, the two were also lauded as guardian G.o.ds of the dominion.


Only five people in the entire dominion had managed to earn the t.i.tle of guardian G.o.ds. Of the five, three belonged to the Guardians Guild, and the remaining two were unaffiliated individuals. The two were the strongest unaffiliated cultivators in existence, and they had contributed significantly to the dominion.


The left side palace was Qin Hongyan"s place of residence. His residence existed as an independent s.p.a.ce and was more than a simple side palace. At present, Qin Hongyan"s clone was sitting at the head of the main hall. Shrouded in a layer of G.o.d Realm energy, his appearance was indistinct. A unique aura emanated from his body, merging his presence with the palace, turning the entire palace into an extension of his body. There was no doubt that he was the absolute master of this place.


Apart from the clone, a heroic young man was also within the hall. He was standing respectfully, showcasing a perfect build and sporting a genial smile. Strands of G.o.d Realm energy swirled around his body, giving him an ethereal temperament.


"Jiu"er, there"s only one year left before the compet.i.tion. How is your preparation?" asked Qin Hongyan emotionlessly.


Qin Jiu answered calmly, "Ancestor, I"m ready. n.o.body can stop me!"


"It"s good to be confident, but you should never be careless. That Gongsun kid is not to be underestimated. I heard that he had reached the eighth-stage Rebirth Realm half a year ago. He had also obtained an exceptional divine weapon. With Gongsun"s support, he is definitely no weaker than you," said Qin Hongyan.


"I know that fellow better than anyone. Between the throne and beauties, he definitely prefers the latter. Dealing with him won"t be hard," said Qin Jiu confidently.


"Um. Do not fail," said Qin Hongyan. "Also, you need to pay attention to one more person. He"s Ge Yi"s disciple. If possible, make him disappear. His physique is something that should not have appeared in the first place."


"Yes, ancestor," said Qin Jiu as his eyes flickered murderously.



The right side palace similarly existed as an independent s.p.a.ce. That place was none other than Gongsun Yingxiong"s residence. It was said that Gongsun Yingxiong had a fitting name—his name meant hero—and he was indeed a heroic person. He wouldn"t have been able to become the deputy guild master otherwise. However, the curtain would set for any hero. After years of conflict, not much of his heroic heart remained.


Gongsun Yingxiong had short white hair, and across his square face ran a scar he had received during his youth. With his current cultivation, he could easily remove it. However, he did not do so because, for him, a scar was a man"s badge of honor. It represented his gallant feats.


Before Gongsun Yingxiong stood a young man even better looking than Qin Jiu. In fact, his face was so flawless that even an absolute beauty would feel inferior when standing beside him. One could only imagine how good-looking he was. He was Gongsun Sanyang, Gongsun Yingxiong"s most valued descendant.


"Sanyang, your ancestor has supported your growth for a very long time. You should be aware of your mission. Failure is not an option. You know the consequences," said Gongsun Yingxiong with his hoa.r.s.e voice.


"Don"t worry, ancestor. The world knows that I"m engrossed with the fairer s.e.x, but who knows that I love the throne more?" said Gongsun Sanyang confidently with a flip of his long hair.
