The Grand Sect Master made his escape very discreetly, so none of the powerful figures noticed his departure. However, he was still spotted by the hidden High Priest.
The High Priest shook his head and smiled. A hint of mockery was on his face as he muttered to himself, "Coward. That is how someone who can never achieve great things would act."

In the void, Ye Guan walked over to Jing Chu's side.
Jing Chu glanced at him and asked, "Are you ready?"
Ye Guan nodded. "Yes."
Jing Chu did not say much and simply nodded in acknowledgment. Then, she turned her gaze to the powerful figures of the Great Sorcerer Clan in the distance and said, "Pick one."
Ye Guan's eyes immediately locked onto Wu Daotian.
Wu Daotian chuckled coldly, "You're picking me?"
There was a hint of malice in his smile. To him, the challenge of such a young man was an insult. He believed he was on the same level as Jing Chu and Fu Wu, making him far superior compared to Ye Guan.
Ye Guan looked at him and smiled, asking, "Should we exchange a few moves?"
Wu Daotian stared intently at Ye Guan. "Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Of course," Ye Guan said with a nod.
Wu Daotian glanced at Jing Chu, who simply stepped back without saying a word. Clearly, she had faith in Ye Guan.
Wu Daotian waved his hand, and the members of the Great Sorcerer Clan immediately stepped backward. He then fixed his gaze on Ye Guan and said, "Come on!"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Ye Guan opened his palm, and a sword made out of sword intent appeared in it.
Then, he vanished as a ray of sword light.
Shock flashed in Wu Daotian's eyes. In that instant, he abandoned any thought of underestimating his opponent. He stepped forward, raising his right hand slightly before pressing it down, releasing a powerful wave of energy.
Ye Guan's sword came to a stop in mid-air, but he twisted his right hand sharply.
Bam!
Wu Daotian was knocked a few steps backward by a powerful force. The sight left the members of the Great Sorcerer Clan astonished, and even Jing Chu's eyes flickered with surprise. She hadn't expected that Ye Guan's strength had grown so much.
After regaining his balance, Wu Daotian stared at Ye Guan, and his face was dark with fury; but more than that, he was deeply shocked. He had previously investigated Ye Guan and knew that Ye Guan had struggled even against a Holy King. In such a short period of time, his strength had actually improved so much.
He was a true prodigy!
Meanwhile, Ye Guan closed his eyes.
He had been fighting relentlessly against the meteors every day, and both his sword intent and swordsmanship had improved immensely as a result of it.
However, he was not fully aware of the extent of his growth. He needed an opponent to find out, and Wu Daotian was the right person for that.
Suddenly, his eyes flew open, and his sword rushed toward Wu Daotian.
Wu Daotian's eyes narrowed into slits. He crossed his arms in front of himself in a defensive stance.
Boom!
When Ye Guan's sword struck, Wu Daotian was forced to retreat once again.
Ye Guan exclaimed with excitement, "Master Pagoda, I'm finally standing tall again!"
Little Pagoda replied flatly, "Don't get too excited just yet."
Ever since his Mad Demon Bloodline had devoured those Evil Characters and Evil Blood, Ye Guan realized that it had become strange. The moment he felt even a hint of killing intent, the bloodline would react as if it had been injected with adrenaline and try to take control of his body.
It was seriously rebellious.
Ye Guan forcefully suppressed the killing intent rising in his mind. Right now, he only wanted to test the level of his sword intent.
On the other hand, Jing Chu seemed to have sensed something. She turned her head to the right, gazing into the starry sky, but she saw no one. Despite that, her brows furrowed deeply.
The High Priest of the Great Sorcerer Clan, who was hidden in the folds of spacetime, chuckled softly to himself. "She sensed my presence? Interesting. As expected of the Chief Enforcement Officer of the Tianxing Civilization..."
Jing Chu withdrew her gaze and looked calmly at the battlefield.
Bam!
A deafening explosion erupted from the battlefield. The void shattered like glass, and both Ye Guan and Wu Daotian could be seen retreating rapidly.
It took a long time before they finally came to a stop.
Wu Daotian's body was now covered with numerous sword marks. In contrast, Ye Guan's face was filled with excitement.
Wu Daotian glanced at his hands, which were covered with sword wounds. His fleshly body was far from ordinary, but it couldn't completely withstand Ye Guan's sword attacks.
He then turned to look at his surroundings, noticing that the expressions of his clan members were quite grim.
Wu Daotian knew that he could not keep on dragging this fight with Ye Guan.
The longer it went on, the worse it would be for him, as Ye Guan was growing stronger as the fight dragged on. He was seriously abnormal.
Swoosh!
Ye Guan suddenly vanished,and a streak of sword light cut through the air, aimed straight at Wu Daotian!
Wu Daotian narrowed his eyes slightly. In response, he opened his palm, and a helmet appeared. A terrifying aura erupted from the helmet.
Ye Guan was forced back tens of thousands of meters by the overwhelming aura.
After coming to a stop, Ye Guan looked at the helmet in Wu Daotian's hands and exclaimed, "You're actually using a tool against me?"
Wu Daotian responded, "What do you mean by a 'tool'? Have you not learned that tools are part of your strength?"
"Ah, that's right." Ye Guan nodded. "Thank you for the reminder."
With that, he disappeared once again.
Wu Daotian immediately hurled the helmet toward him.
The helmet unleashed waves of terrifying energy as it made its way to Ye Guan.
Just then, the sword in Ye Guan's hand transformed into the Qingxuan Sword.
Then, he slashed down with it.
Schwing!
The bull-horned helmet was split into two.
From within the shattered helmet, a horrifying scream echoed.
Seeing the terrifying power of Ye Guan's sword, Wu Daotian's expression changed drastically. He threw all caution to the wind and pointed at Ye Guan, roaring, "Everyone, attack him together!"
The experts of the Great Sorcerer Clan abandoned their honor and charged at Ye Guan. They had decided to gang up on him!
