On the way, none of the Jun Clan experts could have expected Jun You to suddenly make a move against Ye Guan and target the Judicial Office no less, just because Ye Guan was living there. However, Jun Yan understood Jun You's reasoning. He also noticed something amiss. From the beginning of this whole affair until now, the Main God Temple had remained completely silent. That wasn't normal. Silence at the start was understandable, but now? The Main God Temple wasn't just silent; they had just entrusted Nan Xiao with an important responsibility. It meant the Main God Temple's Main Gods were fully backing Nan Xiao. And judging by how things were going, Nan Xiao was very likely to become the next Main God. If that happened, it would spell serious trouble for the Jun Clan. They had no choice; they had to act. Still, Jun Yan hadn't expected Jun You to be bold enough to storm the Judicial Office directly. The Judicial Office wasn't just some random estate. It represented the authority of the Temple of the Gods! Jun Yan couldn't help but glance at Jun You with concern. However, Jun You hadn't offered any explanation, but her face remained calm and composed. After a pause, Jun Yan looked away and chose to trust her. Since she'd taken control of the Jun Clan, their power had expanded rapidly. Her competence was unquestionable. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝙣𝙚𝙩 However, he was confused as to where she found so many mysterious elites. Their group moved quickly, arriving at the Judicial Office in mere moments. Because many of the elite clans had been sent to supervise the slums, the Judicial Office's guards were only a few dozen. They were stunned when they saw the Jun Clan forces approaching. What were they trying to do? The captain of the Judicial Office guards stepped forward when he sensed something was wrong. He glared at the intruders and barked, "Are you trying to rebel—" Before he could finish, the black-robed man at Jun You's side vanished. The captain's pupils shrank. He was about to react when a streak of black light pierced his body, reducing him to a pool of blood on the spot. He was killed instantly. The Jun Clan members behind Jun You exchanged uneasy glances. He was murdered. Weren't they here for Ye Guan? Why kill someone from the Judicial Office? Jun You calmly said, "Let's go greet Young Master Ye." Without hesitation, they stormed the Judicial Office. Nan Xiao suddenly stopped mid-patrol. The air before him trembled slightly. Then, his face changed drastically. "Damn it! The Jun Clan has decided to rebel! Everyone, come to me!" He shot into the sky, leading all the nearby elites behind him. Elsewhere, Sang Mei looked up at the horizon. Sensing where they were going, her brows knitted slightly. Qu Jin suddenly stood up, staring out the window in shock. "The Jun Clan... actually rebelled?" Not far from him, the man in white narrowed his eyes. "They really did it?" Qu Jin's face darkened. "Yes." Once confirmed, the man in white sprang to his feet, still in disbelief. "Has the Jun Clan's eldest daughter lost her mind? What is she thinking?" Qu Jin stared hard outside. "What is that woman trying to pull?" Then, as if realizing something, he shouted, "Guards!" In a flash, dozens of top-tier experts appeared, each of them exuding overwhelming power. "Wait!" The man in white stepped in front of Qu Jin. "Boss, hold on." Qu Jin turned to him, and the white-robed man said grimly, "That woman's target is Ye Guan and Nan Xiao. For her to go all in , she must have something up her sleeve... What I mean is, we should wait. If Nan Xiao..." Ever since the Main Gods above tasked him and Ge Han with supporting Nan Xiao, he knew Nan Xiao was essentially the next Main God. Naturally, he and Ge Han were both unwilling. They had been plotting for years, only to see the position snatched away by Nan Xiao. Now, he understood what the man in white meant. If the Jun Clan could really eliminate Nan Xiao, it would also eliminate one of his biggest competitors. Just as the thought formed, Qu Jin crushed it. "No. In matters of great consequence, I can't prioritize personal gains. Everyone, we will go to the Judicial Office immediately!" He swept his sleeve and strode out. The white-robed man hesitated briefly before following him out. Jun You arrived outside the cultivation room where Ye Guan was cultivating. The doors opened, and Ye Guan stepped out of it. He wore a simple robe and was unarmed. When he saw Jun You and her people, he looked slightly surprised. He hadn't expected this woman to go so far. This was already a rebellion. Jun You looked at Ye Guan, her expression calm as a placid lake. "Young Master Ye. We meet again." Ye Guan smiled. "You're in such a hurry to kill me?" Jun You nodded. "If a person like you can be a friend, that's ideal. But if not... it's best to remove you quickly." Ye Guan looked her in the eye and smiled. "Then what are you waiting for?" Jun Quan suddenly stepped forward, pointing at Ye Guan. "Still acting tough when you're about to die? I'll send you to the afterlife!" He charged, throwing a heavy punch at Ye Guan's head, but— Before anyone could react, a sword pierced Jun Quan's chest. The force sent him flying, pinning him to a distant wall. Eyes wide with disbelief, Jun Quan gasped, "What the—you're strong?" The other Jun Clan members were just as shocked. Ye Guan glanced at Jun You, and then at the black-robed man beside her. His eyes lit up. "A Main God? C'mere then." Everyone was speechless. The black-robed man said hoarsely, "Miss, you didn't mention that he's as strong as a Main God." Jun You replied calmly, "You can back out." "No. I mean, I will charge double." Jun You didn't hesitate. "Deal." The black-robed man grinned. "Much appreciated, Miss." He stepped forward, and the air instantly grew heavy. A terrifying pressure rolled toward Ye Guan. Behind him, the Jun Clan members paled and backed away. The pressure was like an unending tidal wave. Just the aura alone was nearly unbearable. This was the power of someone equivalent to a Main God. Instead of being afraid, however, Ye Guan looked excited. Since his battle with the Great Daoist Brush Master, he hadn't had a real fight. He'd been training nonstop and had made progress. His hands itched for combat. Finally, he had a worthy opponent to handle today. Ye Guan stepped forward. A sharp clang echoed as a sword cry filled the hall. Then a flash of sword light as fast as lightning shot straight at the black-robed man. Everyone watching was stunned. Ye Guan's strength... was enough to rival a Main God? Jun You's gaze remained calm, but the others were wide-eyed. Ye Guan's sword tore through the enemy's pressure, driving straight toward him. The black-robed man's eyes lit up. "Interesting..." Then, his figure blurred and shifted. Suddenly, strange runes appeared all over Ye Guan's sword, and it began to slow down, corroded by the runes. Ye Guan stepped forward again. His feet lit with sword light, and in a flash, he was in front of the man. The black-robed man smiled wickedly. He raised a hand and slammed it down. From his palm, countless black runes poured forth, engulfing Ye Guan. The runes bound him like chains and were heavy with ancient death energy. Those nearby recoiled in horror. Though many of them were only one realm below the Main God, the difference was like heaven and earth. Suddenly, a resonant sword hum echoed once again. To everyone's shock, the runes were slashed apart. A blinding sword light surged out straight at the black-robed man. "You're better than I thought." He chuckled coldly. He raised his arms and pressed downward. The space around them erupted, and Ye Guan's sword was pinned down. Under the crushing pressure, even his sword light began to flicker and dim. Then, Ye Guan flicked his wrist. His sword shattered the suppression. Ye Guan looked up at the black-robed man, smiling. "Great Dao suppression? Your Dao can't suppress mine." "Oh?" The black-robed man narrowed his eyes. "Let's see just how monstrous you really are, then." He vanished into thin air.
