The sect is full of evildoers, but I am the eldest brother.

"The wife stays at home taking care of the children."

Gu Yi could lie without blushing or panicking.

As the saying goes, when you're out in the world, you give yourself your own identity!

Besides, no one knows which specific woman is being referred to by "婆娘" (póniáng).

Before knowing the true strength of an enemy, a little bit of deterrence is essential.

"It seems your home is quite close by."

Mo Xinren revealed a meaningful smile, then calmly and slightly smugly raised his eyebrows, glancing sideways at the surrounding crowd.

At first, Gu Yi didn't know why Mo Xinren had such an expression, but when he followed the direction of the other's gaze, everything became clear.

On the other side of the crowd, a little guy who looked somewhat like Gu Yi, like a miniature version of him, was observing the scene with a worried expression.

Perhaps it was some kind of preordained connection.

Noticing the gaze of the person she wanted to see, Gu Junjun immediately locked onto Gu Yi, who looked astonished and surprised, amidst the vast crowd.

I have heard about the precarious situation that the Hundred Refinement Pavilion is in now.

Gu Junjun was originally worried about Gu Yi.

But Gu Yi appeared here "completely unharmed, with all four limbs intact".

The huge weight that had been hanging over my heart can finally be lifted.

On the other hand, Gu Yi saw Gu Junjun waving her arms happily at him, and Xie Wenwen, with her wheat-colored skin and helpless expression, standing next to the little guy.

I quickly figured out what was going on!

The bandits arrived suddenly, and there were no barriers set up in the square. It is likely that Gu Junjun, who was in the Hundred Refinement Pavilion, saw that everyone was running in one direction and joined in the fun.

As for Xie Wenwen, who speaks softly and gently and seems to not understand what "resistance" is, as long as Gu Junjun wants to make trouble, no one but Gu Yi can do anything about it.

Not to mention a little girl who doesn't know how to "refuse" or "resist".

In this way, wouldn't the lie fall apart on its own?

Perhaps they could continue acting.

After all, the woman is from the Immortal Cloud Holy Land, while Gu Yi isn't from the Hundred Refinement Pavilion...

There is no conflict!

That's it...

The desert bandits never intended to take the "Western Overlord" seriously. Pretending to be a master of the Hundred Refinements was far less intimidating than leaving behind a mystery that was "unpredictable and unfathomable."

Gu Yi shook his head with a wry smile, then, as if he had everything under control, he waved his hand casually, signaling Xie Wenwen to quickly take Gu Junjun away.

This is not a child's game.

This could really lead to someone's death!

Although, since the disaster began, countless innocent lives have been lost at the hands of the demonic giants and desert bandits, a terrifying and lamentable situation.

“In the past, I would have been more cautious about you.”

But now...

Mo Xinren displayed his imposing allied forces with great poise. Despite being a young man, he smiled confidently and said, "No one can stop me now!"

In terms of age, Mo Xinren's actual age is about the same as that of Gu Yi, who was reborn after the revival and became the third incarnation of "Gu Junming"—both were in their prime.

If Mo Xinren succeeds in seizing power this time and replaces the Hundred Refinements Pavilion, his name and this great feat will be recorded in history and his name will be remembered for eternity!

He himself will wield supreme power and become a regional overlord!

Conversely, failure would come at an extremely high cost.

Not only have they offended the overlord of the Hundred Refinements Pavilion, but they will also become a rat crossing the street, hated by everyone, and regarded as the biggest public enemy of all forces in the future!

A monster that possesses the power to rival and challenge even the most powerful forces.

If they ever rise again in the future, no matter which force they target, it will be a devastating blow to that force. We must be on guard!

After all, not everyone can become the overlord of the Western Paradise.

Not everyone can be regarded as a major enemy by the overlord of the Western Paradise.

The reason they don't provoke trouble is because of various systems and inherited philosophies that restrict them. If they really anger the Hundred Refinements Pavilion, let alone the three founders of the Harmony Realm.

The Golden Puppet Legion alone, which can be mass-produced, seems endless, is incredibly powerful, and is impervious to scorching heat and bitter cold, is enough to give them a run for their money!

"you?"

Gu Yi raised an eyebrow, pointed to the group of high-ranking members of the Hundred Refinements Sect beside him, and asked somewhat uncertainly, "You mean, me, and... these people?"

"Then what else."

Mo Xinren's lips curled into a mocking smile. "Isn't that right?"

"Aren't you guys in the same group?"

"They're in cahoots, but I think you might be mistaken about something."

Gu Yi shook his head. "I'm not from the Hundred Refinements Pavilion."

"They're in cahoots, but not from the Hundred Refinements Pavilion..."

Mo Xinren couldn't help but chuckle. "Friend, has anyone ever told you that you're quite humorous and witty? It's just that you're a bit too self-important."

Do I look like an 'idiot' to you?

He suddenly asked.

"If you hadn't said anything, who wouldn't have noticed?"

"Then why... um?"

Mo Xinren frowned, wondering if he had misheard something.

Why does something feel off...?

Clearing his mind of unnecessary distractions, Mo Xinren asked with a smile, "From what you're saying, you seem to have quite a background, don't you?"

"They have a powerful background."

Gu Yi smiled confidently, "As for whether it's big or not, that depends entirely on how you think about it."

"Oh?"

Mo Xinren became interested, raised his chin slightly, and said calmly, "I would like to hear the details."

Have you ever heard of... Wan Xiong?

Gu Yi said.

"Wan Xiong? Under the whole world, who doesn't know him?"

Mo Xinren said with amusement, "What, you still want to say you're Wan Xiong's?"

"Wan Xiong... isn't that just the Hundred Refinements Pavilion?"

"If you think that way, you're making a big mistake."

Gu Yi shook his head regretfully. Then he glanced at the high-ranking members of the Hundred Refinements Pavilion behind him, as well as the three living fossils who had returned to the Harmony Realm. After weighing the matter in his mind for a moment, he said, "You can say that the Hundred Refinements Pavilion belongs to Wan Xiong, but Wan Xiong does not belong to the Hundred Refinements Pavilion!"

"You should know that there is no such thing as a father looking like his son."

He chuckled and said, "These two things must be strictly and carefully distinguished!"

Upon hearing this, some people's faces immediately darkened.

This included the elderly Mr. Dongfang, who was listening intently.

What kind of talk is this? What do you mean by saying that the Hundred Refinement Pavilion belongs to Wan Xiong, but Wan Xiong doesn't belong to the Hundred Refinement Pavilion? What do you mean by saying that there's no such thing as a father who looks like his son...?

Can you speak?

All heroes are forged through countless trials, do you understand?

Since ancient times, the Hundred Refinements Pavilion was a small workshop of Wan Xiong that was responsible for refining weapons. Even though time has passed and Wan Xiong in its heyday is long gone, this small workshop has developed into a local hegemon. But their Hundred Refinements Pavilion is the former Wan Xiong!

It's just a name change; Wanxiong still exists.

Just like that Ice Emperor of the far north.

Where there is a will, there is a way!

Wan Xiong... will never disappear!

As long as these old guys' hearts haven't completely stopped beating...

Never!
