Yes, Kuan Shangtian has already identified the suspect! That's the key point. The reason he went through this process might be for other purposes, perhaps because he discovered me? That's why he spent quite some time chatting with himself?
Regarding the Breaking Heaven Realm, Guan Yue is also willing to communicate more with them, as he wants to learn more about them since he has been working towards this direction recently!
That evening, Kuan Shangtian indeed met with Guan Yue again as promised.
Guan Yue actually felt that Kuan Shangtian had a kind of inexplicable fondness for him.
The two of them chatted naturally over drinks.
Guan Yue asked, "Senior, have the murderer been captured?"
Kuan Shangtian replied with frustration, "Hey, we caught two insiders, but the real culprit escaped. They have been plotting for a long time, making it difficult to catch them all at once."
Suddenly, Kuan Shangtian changed the subject and looked at Guan Yue, asking, "Are there many people with the surname Guan in your area?"
"Not many. I rarely encounter anyone with the surname Guan."
"Indeed. In the Dragon Python Celestial Domain, there are one hundred billion people, but as far as I know, the population of those with the surname Guan is less than one hundred thousand. Among them, very few can make a name for themselves." Kuan Shangtian's tone was filled with melancholy.
Guan Yue chuckled; it turned out that this elder regarded him differently simply because they shared the same surname.
Kuan Shangtian continued, "Our surname Guan is a minor one and has never been valued. Moreover, there are no outstanding talents among us. It seems that under the harsh conditions of the Dragon Python Celestial Domain, we are soon going to completely vanish."
At this point, Guan Yue also thought to himself that this was indeed true. Those prominent families had large populations and produced many elites, naturally thriving more and more.
Suddenly, Kuan Shangtian switched topics again and said, "You have something in your body that has always eluded Old Man. What is it?"
Guan Yue was startled. Could it be that he had detected the Source Energy of the Yongning Continent within him? Hadn't it completely fused with his body? How could this elder, who was at the Breaking Heaven Realm, see through it?
After some contemplation, Guan Yue slowly said, "To be honest, I once combined a Mother of Heaven and Earth in the Lower Realm, so some energy still remains within me."
In fact, he had already given as much of the Mother of Heaven and Earth’s energy as possible to Guan Tian, allowing him to dominate three empires and remain undefeated.
Kuan Shangtian laughed heartily, "I never expected you to have such luck, to gain recognition from a piece of the earth's source. That's why you broke through to the Great Dao Realm, right?"
Kuan Shangtian laughed joyfully, as if he were genuinely pleased.
Guan Yue understood that the elder was being kind because they shared the same surname, but he still felt a warmth in his heart. After all, there were too few relatives in the Dragon Python Celestial Domain. Even a little concern from Kuan Shangtian made him feel a genuine connection.
Kuan Shangtian continued to ask, "Kid, besides the Mother of Heaven and Earth, you must have had other fortuitous encounters to break through to the Peak of the Great Path in the Lower Realm?"
Guan Yue was about to inquire about his views on the Heavenly Court but was unsure how to introduce it. Seeing this question from Kuan Shangtian, he took the opportunity to respond, "Indeed, senior has keen insight. I encountered the Western Celestial Law Ancestor in the Lower Realm and received his guidance. That's how I achieved this small success."
"The Western Celestial Law Ancestor went to the Lower Realm? Impossible," Kuan Shangtian said sharply, looking at Guan Yue as if warning him not to deceive him.
Guan Yue quickly explained, "It's Mo Tianwei, the Western Celestial Law Ancestor."
Only then did Kuan Shangtian's expression soften, and a smile appeared on his face. "You mean that old man? He’s actually in the Lower Realm? Wasn't he taken by the Heavenly Court long ago? How is he still alive?"
Guan Yue forced a bitter smile and said, "I’m not sure either; he told me he is the Western Celestial Law Ancestor and that his teachings are profound. That's why I barely broke through to the Peak of the Great Path."
"Mo Tianwei was hunted by the Heavenly Court for widely teaching the Magic Supreme Technique. That Magic Supreme Technique is truly remarkable. But the Heavenly Court doesn’t allow us to cultivate it; it's really unreasonable," Kuan Shangtian complained before suddenly realizing something and looking at Guan Yue intently. "Did you also learn the Magic Supreme Technique?"
"I wouldn't dare," Guan Yue replied.
Kuan Shangtian said with lingering fear, "You don't know, the Heavenly Court has ways to deal with our Dragon Python Divine Realm Technique, but they have no means to counter the Magic Supreme Technique. Moreover, the higher you go in the spatial hierarchy, the more powerful the Magic Supreme Technique becomes. Therefore, the Heavenly Court is on high alert against the Magic Supreme Technique and absolutely forbids its transmission. They fear that the Magic Supreme Technique could undermine their control."
Upon hearing Kuan Shangtian's words, Guan Yue finally realized why the Heavenly Court was determined to suppress him. The Heavenly Court would not allow him to grow freely; otherwise, once he became fully capable, it would spell doom for them.
At that moment, Guan Yue also understood the unconventional and unrestrained nature of the Western Celestial Law Ancestor. He truly was a great man! However, Guan Yue saw Kuan Shangtian's cowardice. After their conversation, he had already discerned that Kuan Shangtian was a timid person. Thus, he immediately dismissed the idea of entering Leap Ridge Pavilion.
Kuan Shangtian further explained to Guan Yue, "You know that in the Minor Ancestor Realm, a Martial Arts Aura appears on one's shoulders; in the Great Dao Realm, a martial light sphere appears above one's head; while in the Breaking Heaven Realm, martial light condenses at the chest. Anyone with a glowing chest is considered a disciple of the Breaking Heaven Realm, and of course, colors will vary based on upper, middle, or lower levels."
Guan Yue suddenly understood that in the Breaking Heaven Realm, one’s martial arts color is observed at the chest.
Kuan Shangtian was unaware of Guan Yue's true thoughts and began to persuade him, saying, "Young man, you should have a place to settle in the Dragon Python Celestial Domain, right? Why not come to our Leap Ridge Pavilion? I will look after you. It will also benefit your cultivation."
Guan Yue quickly declined, "You know that the Heavenly Court will definitely pursue Western Celestial Law Ancestor Mo Tianwei, and I might get implicated as well. I don't want to cause trouble for your esteemed pavilion."
Kuan Shangtian angrily replied, "The pursuit of Western Celestial Law Ancestor by the Heavenly Court is his own business; what does it have to do with you? He has taught many people; are they all to be hunted down one by one? You are overthinking this."
Guan Yue shook his head and said, "Senior does not understand. I obtained Ultimate Light while in the Lower Realm. Therefore, entering the Dragon Python Celestial Domain will certainly lead to being hunted by the Heavenly Court; it's just that they haven't found me yet." Guan Yue had now confirmed that Kuan Shangtian was indeed concerned for him but was also fearful. To avoid hurting his feelings further, he did not mention anything about Ultimate Light.
Indeed, upon hearing that Guan Yue had obtained Ultimate Light, Kuan Shangtian realized that anyone who possessed Ultimate Light was either an extraordinary genius or someone whom the Heavenly Court must eliminate.
Thus, he carefully advised Guan Yue, "In that case, I won't urge you to join our Leap Ridge Pavilion anymore. In our Dragon Rainbow Celestial Domain, most major powers outwardly comply with the Heavenly Court while secretly opposing them. However, those specifically assigned by the Heavenly Court to pursue are generally too afraid to provide shelter—except for the two major sects. The two major sects have repeatedly opposed the Heavenly Court without any effective countermeasures from them. Their relationship is currently at a stalemate."
Oh! Guan Yue's heart brightened at this revelation; two major sects dared to confront the Heavenly Court!
Kuan Shangtian mentioned Guan Yue's possession of Ultimate Light and decided not to sit with him any longer. However, before leaving, he still said to Guan Yue, "Kid, take care. If you find yourself in a life-and-death situation, come find me; I can help you once. I hope that a good seed from the old Guan family does not perish prematurely. I will be staying in Ocean Harmony Empire."
At this moment, Guan Yue felt that Kuan Shangtian genuinely wanted to help him. He was deeply moved by Kuan Shangtian's strong sense of family loyalty. Although Kuan Shangtian might not be brave enough, he was indeed a good person—a good person for Guan Yue.
However, it was precisely because of the two long conversations between Guan Yue and Kuan Shangtian that an assassination attempt occurred. The assassination took place shortly after their discussions.
As a result, not long after entering the Dragon Python Celestial Domain, Guan Yue found himself trapped in endless pursuit!
That night, after a lengthy conversation with Kuan Shangtian, Guan Yue had just fallen asleep when a dangerous warning surged through his mind. Realizing something was wrong, he quickly dodged, but he only heard a few dull, sharp sounds whizzing past him. Before he could react, a deep cut had already been made on his shoulder.
Guan Yue immediately covered the wound and used the Concealment Technique to slip outside. He was determined to find out who had attacked him. The assassin had merely released the hidden weapon and then left confidently, moving with agility as if very familiar with the inn.
Guan Yue followed closely, and to his surprise, the Black-Clad Assassin entered the room next to Kuan Shangtian's. When Guan Yue pushed open the door, he found that the Black-Clad Assassin was changing clothes. To his astonishment, it was a beautiful young woman.
Guan Yue had seen her during the day; she was one of Kuan Shangtian's guards. He was taken aback: Could she be here to eliminate him because of Destiny?
The Female Assassin noticed the door opening without a sound and immediately drew her sword in defense. However, her ample bosom and slender waist were fully exposed. Her large eyes were alertly fixed on the doorway, standing still and ready for action.
Guan Yue thought to himself: I never expected Kuan Shangtian to be such a ruthless person. He had concealed his intentions so well while drinking with me that I completely trusted him, nearly falling into his trap. Now, taking care of this woman would serve as a warning to him; I, Guan Yue, am not someone to be easily bullied.
Quietly, Guan Yue jumped behind the woman and swung his hand toward her neck. He did not intend to kill her immediately, but she let out a suppressed gasp. Although her voice was low, it would surely be heard by Kuan Shangtian. So Guan Yue acted decisively and struck again, killing her outright!
At that moment, Kuan Shangtian appeared at the doorway. His speed was astonishing. Guan Yue had no choice but to retreat hastily, not bothering to gather his belongings as he fled into the night.
Kuan Shangtian found the woman's death very puzzling because he noticed two suspicious points: first, Guan Yue had gone missing that day; second, black night gear was discovered in the woman's room.
Kuan Shangtian pondered quietly: Could it be that Guan Yue is the mastermind behind this? If so, why did he kill the woman? If not, then why did he flee? I have been completely sincere with him; why would he not confide in me?
