“We owe our current position to our great ancestor . Without him, Sword Marquis Mansion would have perished a long time ago . ”
“He had tried so hard to lay the foundation for us . We can’t let those pests ruin his efforts . ”
Jian Yu clenched her hands, her eyes flashing with firm determination .
“Oh right, the Elder left us a manual…” She stared at the token in her hand .
She allowed her consciousness to enter the token . Then, all of a sudden, her eyes opened wide .
“Terrifying! What a terrifying swordsmanship!”
“Do you mean the manual that the Elder gave us?”
“He knows such terrifying swordsmanship and used such amazing skills . Who is he? He can’t be great-grandmother’s old acquaintance!”
Her great-grandmother had merely reached the Peak of the Yang Void Realm and had not befriended any high-standing individuals . Yet that blind old man had called himself her old friend .
“f he knew great-grandmother, why did he only return after 2,000 years?
Moreover, if he was just a friend, he had no reason to care about Sword Marquis Mansion .
He had been so disappointed earlier .

“He’s not my great-grandmother’s old acquaintance . I think he has a close connection to Sword Marquis Mansion . Perhaps he’s one of our ancestors!”
“Our ancestor?”
Jian Yu was stunned .
“Is he… our Patriarch?”
Their founder was a legend in the history of Sword Marquis Mansion .
“Yes! That’s him! He’s undoubtedly our Patriarch!” Jian Yu exclaimed with excitement . “Our Patriarch’s disappearance back then was a mystery . Some suggested that he didn’t die but left for a vast world to pursue higher cultivation . He must have returned from that world . ”
“He showed up to teach us a lesson after noticing our internal corruption! He intended to enlighten us!”
“Patriarch! He’s our Patriarch!”
Jian Yu was thrilled . It took her a while to calm down and she grasped the token tightly .
“From now on, the swordsmanship inside this token is the most precious treasure in Sword Marquis Mansion . Only the most talented is qualified to learn it and he must take a blood oath to never impart it to others . Whoever breaks the oath will be disposed of as a traitor . ”
Jian Wushuang returned to his own appearance after reappearing in the Void . He took slow steps, but the span of each step covered thousands of miles .
“Why did you pretend to be a blind old man to teach your juniors a lesson instead of revealing your identity?” Gu King asked .

“Reveal my identity?” Jian Wushuang shook his head .
Before setting foot in the Nanyang Continent, he had intended to reunite with his juniors of Sword Marquis Mansion as himself .
However, he changed his mind after walking into the tavern outside Sword Marquis Mansion .
He had spent half a day staying there and while he drank alone, his Soul Power had already covered the whole city . He had heard many conversations between warriors as well as between commoners .
Certain conversations taking place in private quarters were particularly eye-opening .
It was not until he heard these conversations that he realized how bad the corruption and disunity in the current Sword Marquis Mansion had become .
“Factions are formed and fellow clansmen plot against one other . In the fight for more interests, some even lay hands on another in private . Most disciples of the younger generation are snobs who bully others without concern for consequences,” Jian Wushuang said with a grim expression .
“They’re conceited and fearless even without me around . Won’t they become even more audacious if I reappear in public, thinking that I have their backs?”
He did not want to see the current situation in Sword Marquis Mansion .
He had shown up to punished junior disciples and even two Elders, Jian Yu and Jian Hua, as a warning for them to keep a low profile and realize the crisis within Sword Marquis Mansion .
“I’ve done all that I should do . The future of Sword Marquis Mansion is up to them now,” Jian Wushuang murmured .
He had done more than enough, be it doling out advice or punishment .

He had no intention of interfering with the development of Sword Marquis Mansion . In fact, he did not even mind its decline, as long as it could be inherited from generation to generation .
After all, he could not stay here and guard Sword Marquis Mansion forever .
“What’s your next move?” Gu King asked .
“Let’s head for the Divine Land now . I’m worried that girl can’t hang on any longer,” Jian Wushuang answered with a smile .
“A girl? Does she have anything to do with you?” Gu King asked .
“You’ll know when we arrive there . ”
Jian Wushuang continued his journey at full speed .
It did not take him long to reach the Divine Land from the Nanyang Continent without even taking the wormhole .
The Divine Land… was the core of this realm .
The Ancient World was under its control .
Back when Jian Wushuang first roamed the Divine Land, there were Three Ancestors, Nine Sovereigns, and 72 Marquises here .
These were all top figures of the Divine Land .
However, it had been 2,000 years . Things had changed a lot, as did the layout of the Divine Land .
Now, four influential factions ruled over the Divine Land .
The four forces were under the leadership of four overlords . One of them was called… Wushuang Sword Pavilion .
Wushuang Sword Pavilion appeared 2,000 years ago . Its founder was a woman named Lin Lan .
Lin Lan used to be one of the 72 Marquises . Her cultivation speed had been fast but not impressive . But later, she made great progress and entered the Skyscraping Realm within a hundred years . Since then, she was one of the most powerful experts in the Ancient World .
The warriors of the Divine Land respectfully called her Queen Lanyue .
Under her leadership, Wushuang Sword Pavilion had existed in harmony with the other factions in the Divine Land for the past 2,000 years .
However, in recent years, Wushuang Sword Pavilion had turned against Spirit Palace, one of the four overlords . Both parties had descended into endless ferocious fights .
In the beginning, the two overlords had been evenly matched . But later, Wushuang Sword Pavilion was soon placed at a disadvantage .
Today, Spirit Palace had directly broken into their stronghold .
Wushuang Sword Pavillion was located on a vast land among the giant mountains .
“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Deafening explosions resounded in succession, the sound reverberating throughout the mountains . The whole Wushuang Sword Pavilion had fallen into a state of manic slaughter .
