I See the Aura of the Great Emperor in All My Disciples

After all, both represent top factions in the Chaos Realm, and neither wishes to allow the other an advantage. When this alliance ends, direct rivalry is inevitable.

If the other fails to obtain the Sun and Moon Token—or acquires fewer of them—subsequent encounters and struggles would tip in favor of one side.

The Xu Family also has infiltrators placed among the Xuanyuan Clan.

Thus, Xu Cang Yuan fully understands the Xuanyuan Clan’s intentions.

Xu Luo and Xu Chen both nodded firmly.

Similar scenes are playing out amid towering mountain ranges.

These peaks are as sharp as sword edges, offering no place to land or grasp, their surfaces smooth as mirrors.

Looking from below, they resemble countless Edgeless Greatswords aiming toward the sky, piercing even the heavens!

Fierce sword qi suffuses these peaks, completely repelling low-level magical beasts.

Without sufficient realm, entering this region would be but a foolish dream.

”Remember this—never trust the Xu Family. Once inside, remain vigilant and, if possible, find an opportunity to kill them.” One elder of the Xuanyuan Clan stared intently at their team, including Xuanyuan Che, and instructed with severity.

Xuanyuan Che glanced at the Xu Family contingent not far away.

Leading them was Xu Qing.

Earlier, when Xu Yeming infiltrated the Xu Family as Xu Luo, he crushed Xu Qing during a critical assessment, utterly dismantling him both physically and in spirit.

Initially, Xu Luo and Xu Qing were supposed to enter this ruin together. Due to that disgrace, Xu Qing applied to lead one of the Xu Family’s squads.

His aim: to secure the legacy within this ruin and obtain the Sun and Moon Token to surpass ”Xu Luo.”

Ye Qiubai and Mu Fusheng were also present at this ruin.

However, with Star Palace experts guarding the site, the Xuanyuan Clan opted to refrain from sparking a conflict at this crucial juncture, avoiding potential disruptions to the ruin’s competition.

The Sun and Moon Token remains the paramount focus at this moment.

Besides...

The Xuanyuan Clan had already investigated thoroughly, believing that this particular ruin might hold the legacy of the Green Cloud Sword Master.

”Within the ruin, ensure you eliminate Ye Qiubai and seize his Sword Bone legacy!” The elder from the Xuanyuan Clan spoke firmly.

The direct lineage members of the Xuanyuan Clan laughed and nodded.

”A mere barbarian disciple—what chance does he have even if he lucked into the legacy? No match for us Xuanyuan elites.”

”At that time, we won’t even need Brother Che to act. We can kill him effortlessly ourselves.”

Xuanyuan Che, however, was solemn as he remarked, ”Do not underestimate him. His talent in the Sword Dao rivals my own.”

One of the direct lineage scoffed, dismissively waving his hand: ”Brother Che, why be so modest? Modesty may be a virtue, but as sword cultivators, we should never show weakness to our enemies!”

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Che sighed softly.

It was this arrogance and blind overconfidence that had caused the Xuanyuan Clan’s transition of power to stagnate—sect leaders refusing to delegate authority due to concerns over inadequate successors.

Arrogance.

Hubris.

These qualities are unbecoming of sword cultivators.

Furthermore... Ye Qiubai’s talent in the Sword Dao truly eclipsed his own—and by a large margin!

Xuanyuan Che approached Ye Qiubai and said, ”I’ve told you before—if not for the factions that shape our stances, I’d genuinely want to befriend a sword cultivator like you.”

Ye Qiubai laughed as he patted Xuanyuan Che’s shoulder and replied, ”We stand on opposing sides, that’s all. When the time comes, don’t hold back—because I won’t show mercy to your Xuanyuan Clan either.”

PS: Took my family out for three days during the National Day holiday, so apologies for only releasing one Chapter over the past few days.

Now that I’m back, I’ll write five Chapters today!
