I was also driven out by this person. This humiliation has always been engraved in my heart, and I yearn every moment to return to Divine House Mountain and rebuild our sect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daoist Yong smiled and said, \"Brother Guangyuan set up a stele in the Chu Kingdom named ’Moxin Stone’; I suppose that’s its intended meaning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The yellow-robed practitioner turned back and shouted, \"Exactly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked back to the table in a few steps, pressed his hand on the wine table, and looked down at Yong Fu, speaking in a deep voice, \"Even though I yearn to return every day, seeing as Daoist Yong was mastering the immortal city earlier, it seemed like family, and Han Yuan Sect no longer holds its former prestige, I did not deem it necessary to stir trouble. However, I’ve heard that instead, Daoist Shen sent a nephew disciple over to seize Daoist’s position with despicable means upon returning, which truly made me sympathize with you and filled me with righteous anger, thinking about how to fight for justice on your behalf.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True Master Yong cupped his hand and said, \"Brother Guangyuan, such noble honor; Yong thanks you in advance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although polite in words, he internally disagreed. When Shen Baishuang expelled Xiangcheng Sect, he spared Wang Guangyuan’s life as he was merely a Hua Dan junior at the time. Later, this man unexpectedly found a great teacher and practiced arduously for nearly three hundred years until only a few years ago attaining the Nascent Soul Realm. What could he have done even if he had returned earlier? This time merely seizing a timely excuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nonetheless, since this person voluntarily intended to stand up for him, causing no harm to Yong Fu, he naturally wouldn’t step up to stop him. Out of moral obligation, he still reminded, \"True Master Zhang’s cultivation is exceedingly high; I don’t know what daoist skill is employed to damage the Mystical Artifact I borrowed from Daoist Fang. He is indeed somewhat skillful. Furthermore, his sect’s guest elder possesses remarkable fighting skills. In short, though Han Yuan Sect may lack a Great Cultivator like Master Shen’s presence today, it certainly cannot be underestimated. Daoist Wang ought to be cautious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Wang Guangyuan surprisingly burst into laughter and waved his hand, saying, \"Ah, so Brother Yong is worried about this matter. I was wondering why your tone was less forthcoming than usual earlier—so this concern was involved. All right, let me assure you, I’m not here alone. My senior brother Qu Changzhi has also promised to lend his full support.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is Master Qu here too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yong Fu felt a little apprehensive internally. His hand trembled as he picked up the wine cup, then slowly raised it to his lips, sipping it to conceal his lapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Master Qu was someone he had heard about for a long time. Several hundred years ago, he’d already achieved the Nascent Soul. He liked fighting and was quite troublesome to deal with, and it’s unclear how far his cultivation has progressed now. Since this person also decided to help, it indicated that the driving force behind this matter was far from Wang Guangyuan alone—not as simple as it seemed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier he was merely being dismissive, but now he realized he couldn’t ignore it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to suspecting there might be deeper implications here, he attempted to probe subtly a few times; however, Wang Guangyuan kept his mouth tightly shut, not revealing even a hint. Seeing this situation, Yong Fu stopped pursuing the matter, instead asking, \"I wonder if Gao Zhongyuan is to Brother Guangyuan’s liking?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Guangyuan kept nodding repeatedly, \"Very much to my liking, certainly very much. This fellow’s talent is exceptional; I have already accepted him as my direct disciple. He might even inherit my legacy in the future. Thanks are due to Daoist Yong for recommending such an excellent student. I hear he was originally from the Han Yuan Sect; hehe, how could that small temple contain such a disciple of mine? In my opinion, Zhongyuan’s future achievements will be limitless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yong Fu was surprised, aware of Gao Zhongyuan’s talent, but didn’t expect Wang Guangyuan to hold him in such high regard. Yet, this person had the wrong intentions; even if his talent doubled, he would not accept him in his sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Guangyuan glanced at Yong Fu, revealing a sly smile, and took out a letter from his sleeve, placing it down and pushing it over, saying, \"Having departed in a bit of a hurry this time, I didn’t bring any attendants, so I’ll have to ask Brother Yong to deliver this letter to Han Yuan Sect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the large \"Chu\" character stamped on the letter’s seal, Yong Fu frowned, not reaching out to accept it, and with a trace of wariness asked, \"What is written in the letter?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",926,"2026-06-06T05:08:54.709Z",1,"novelbin.me","e429a190134e6114dad57d6f5f7dc59a78143ea7c70d596c0a7594c2a276a087","daoist-competition-chapter-1261","daoist-competition-chapter-1259",1261,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdaoist-competition-cover.jpg"]
