"

"He's only at the Martial Marquis seventh rank or so..."

Everyone was puzzled. The Martial Marquis seventh rank was indeed...

Not even close to the Royal Level.

Are we saying this shrimp is lowly? Or should we say he's high?

Star Lord spoke calmly, "Didn't you notice that when Star used the name of the Yin Shengong to recruit the headquarters' family members, what cultivation level was he at?"

"He was a Second-Rank Warlord..."

As these words left their mouths, all five of them suddenly paled in shock.

Star Lord gave a cold smile.

His finger pointed at the text above and said calmly, "Calculate the time. How long has it been?"

"Four... four and a half months..."

Cold sweat appeared on the faces of the five.

"Four and a half months. From a Second-Rank Warlord to a Seventh-Rank Martial Marquis, a genius. Yet, in your eyes, his cultivation is too low."

"And is he really a Seventh-Rank Martial Marquis as indicated in the records?"

Star Lord's voice turned cold, "Where are your brains?"

The five stood with bowed bodies, their backs bending lower and lower.

Tick... tick...

Cold sweat dripped from their foreheads onto the ground.

"Can you ignore this detail? Things have been too peaceful lately."

A cold light flashed in Star Lord's eyes.

The five knelt simultaneously, "Star Lord, it's our incompetence, our negligence."

"Stand up."

Star Lord spoke calmly, "I don't care who you followed before, but now, you follow me. Anyone who stays by my side, I will only allow them to make one mistake in their lifetime, and they will have only one chance to correct it."

He lifted his eyes, his deep gaze fixed on the five before him, "And this chance, you five have already used it up."

Star Lord furrowed his brows tightly.

He stared at the documents in his hand.

The five stood up, all feeling a cold sweat on their backs.

"Have you investigated Star's background?"

"We have detailed information."

One of them, trembling, stepped forward and presented a detailed file on Star.

Star Lord took a glance and tossed it aside.

"This is fake!"

"Huh?"

The five were all shocked, "Fake?"

They picked up the file, all leaning in to examine it.

The file on Star included his birthdate, parents' names, his resume, and how he was adopted by Yin Shengong at the age of three... until he became the branch leader of the White Cloud Continent at the age of forty-three.

His previous experiences and locations were all clearly documented.

Such detailed information should have made investigation unnecessary. How could it be fake?

"Are you guys brainless?"

Star Lord frowned, anger in his voice, "You actually believed this document full of holes!"

"This..."

The five were filled with confusion.

"I'll ask you one thing. How old is Yin Shengong?" Star Lord asked.

"Over two thousand seven hundred years old..."

The five answered fluently. What was the problem?

"To be precise, it's two thousand seven hundred and sixty-three years old."

Star Lord humphed, "And Star's records show he's forty-three this year."

"Yes."

"Then, subtract two thousand seven hundred and sixty-three by forty-three. What's the result?"

"Two thousand seven hundred and twenty." The five answered quickly.

"You calculated that fast."

Star Lord spoke coldly, "Two thousand seven hundred and twenty, minus the time from Yin Shengong's birth to its hundredth year, how much is left?"

"Two thousand six hundred and twenty."

"Hehe... In these two thousand six hundred and twenty years, has Yin Shengong ever adopted any children?" Star Lord asked coldly.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

The five broke out in cold sweat.

One of them, mustering his courage, said, "Is it possible that they had a sudden whim?"

Star Lord spoke indifferently, "In two thousand six hundred years, when can't they have a sudden whim? Why wait until two thousand six hundred years later, when their hearts are as hard as iron, to have a whim? Where's your brain?"

"And it says here that Star was adopted by Yin Shengong at the age of three... Are they trying to fool us?"

Star Lord frowned, "At three years old... I'd believe it if you told me Yin Shengong cooked and ate him. But adopted... damn, what's in your heads? Is Yin Shengong that kind of person?"

The five were drenched in cold sweat.

"Have you checked the local records of the various branch leaders and site leaders that Star has served as?"

"..."

"No?"

Star Lord humphed, "Such a poorly thought-out document, full of holes, and you still dare to show it to me?"

The five dared not speak.

But in their hearts, they thought: Maybe Yin Shengong really did have a sudden whim. Who can say for sure?

Star Lord glanced at the five, their faces obedient, and said calmly, "I know you disagree, so let's follow your line of thought. Indeed, Yin Shengong had a whim, was abnormal, had a sudden impulse, and adopted a child, raising him from the age of three... Okay?"

"..." No one spoke.

"Raising him from the age of three to forty, they must have developed a deep bond. And he's a martial genius... So I ask you, how long ago was the Incubation to God Plan? Star is already at the Martial Commander level. Isn't he a genius?"

"According to his cultivation progress, Star should have been at the peak of the Royal Level at that time."

"Since he's such a trusted follower of Yin Shengong, raised from such a young age, why didn't he participate in the Incubation to God Plan? Use your pitiful brains to think, is this possible?"

Star Lord spoke angrily, "Raised from the age of three, he's practically a son. This relationship should be closer than that of a master and disciple, right? Why did Night Demon go, but Star didn't?"

"Star's displayed martial prowess is slightly inferior to Night Demon's, but in terms of scheming and methods, what's lacking? After entering the Incubation to God Plan, wouldn't he have been a sure bet to come out alive?"

"Why didn't he go? Is Yin Shengong stupid?"

Star Lord humphed.

The five nodded repeatedly.

From both positive and negative perspectives, this Star was indeed suspicious.

"This Starlight and Night Demon are like the Yin Shengong's twin stars, one bright and one dark."

Wiping the cold sweat from his brow, one person said, "I have to say, the leader of Yi Xin Jiao from Yin Shengong is indeed a master of extraordinary means."

"One bright and one dark twin stars?"

Starless frowned suddenly.

As if this sentence had sparked a realization.

His eyes flashed with uncertainty.

He glanced at the five people before him, swallowing the words he was about to say and thought to himself, "If my guess is true... then..."

Suppressing his thoughts, he asked, "Putting aside Starlight, what were the results of your investigation of this branch?"

"An exceptional branch!"

Finally, the topic shifted, and the five people, relieved as if granted amnesty, hurriedly replied, "Whether it's in terms of concealment, stability, security, legality, reasonableness, long-term infiltration, combat power, or scale, it's all top-notch, even unique. It's even more solid than the Five Elements Ice Flame Seven Colors branch!"

"Absolutely qualified!"

Starless nodded and said, "I think so too. As a branch, Starlight has been managed with unparalleled success. Since that's the case, the branch investigation is complete. Report it."

"Starless, which rank did you place them in?"

The five asked cautiously.

"Unique, first place!" Starless replied without hesitation.

"Starless... the branch on the Golden Demon Sect's side is under the control of the eldest young master... and it's also extremely successful." The five cautiously reminded him.

"What's it to me if it's my brother's people? If they're doing better, then they're doing better! They've only managed to achieve that shabby state with almost half of the territory, and they still have the nerve to claim the top spot?"

Starless humphed and said, "This Heaven's Escort Bureau must be first! I say so! If my brother is dissatisfied, let him come to me."

"Yes."

Now that your attitude is clear, that's all we need.

We wanted to hear those words. If the eldest young master is dissatisfied, come to you, not us.

As for the rest, do as you please.

Anyone can be first, as long as the trouble doesn't find its way to me. That's all I care about.

"In that case, the investigation of the branch is complete."

Starless said indifferently, "As for the six or seven hundred family members within the branch, you can go and investigate them individually and fill in the evaluation forms."

"Yes."

This was a tedious task.

But it had to be done.

Starless raised his eyes, "Want to save some trouble?"

"Please guide us, Starless."

"Just fill out 'excellent' for everyone."

Starless said calmly, "Under the instruction of such a branch leader, they can't be anything but excellent. Just record how many escort missions each person has completed, how many beatings they've endured, and what new skills they've learned..."

"Good!"

The five were delighted.

"Send a message to the investigation team outside to let them go to other continents. Baiyunzhou is done."

"Yes."

"You do your part, and I'll give you three days."

"Yes, Starless... since things are clear now, can we directly submit these reports?"

Starless frowned, "Change the investigation to an open inspection? Fine."

After a moment of thought, he nodded, "Good. It's a good time for me to visit Starlight as well."

His eyes narrowed, and he murmured, "It must be... a very interesting... matter."

His eyes deepened with determination.

He knocked on the table and said, "Let's do it tomorrow morning. The matter with Dong Changfeng must be finished before tonight."

"Yes."

...

This night was destined to be an extraordinary one.

At the headquarters of the Only Righteous Sect, Duan Xiyang stood with his hands behind his back in front of the place where the Golden Armored Gun used to be.

Looking at the ground, which was covered in tiny particles, shattered beyond recognition.

His eyes were deep with emotion.

Without moving, his divine consciousness stirred, and the tiny particles on the ground floated up, re-condensing into the shape of the Golden Armored Gun.

Then, his consciousness dissipated.

The particles fell to the ground with a clatter.

Only a few dozen particles remained floating in front of him.

Duan Xiyang reached out, catching them in his palm. Before he could even apply any force, the indestructible Golden Armored Gun particles turned into powder.

As if solidified mud had been crumbled.

It became earth again.

"Has the obsession completely disappeared?"

Duan Xiyang looked at the pile of particles on the ground, his eyes filled with a sense of loss.

"Even the Golden Armored Gun has been completely destroyed. Who made you let go of your obsession? Dong Changfeng?"

Duan Xiyang shook his head and murmured, "You're a peerless figure throughout history, and a mere Dong Changfeng could make you let go of your obsession?"

"What kind of talent does Dong Changfeng have?"

"Can't you see it?"

"So, it's definitely not Dong Changfeng who made you let go of your obsession!"

"Dong Changfeng is just a distraction!"

Duan Xiyang's eyes shot out a sharp light, "I went to the cave mouth several times, emitting the intent of the gun. I could even sense your disdain and disregard."

"You didn't even spare a glance for me, how could you possibly look upon Dong Changfeng?"

"But rest assured, I'll keep it a secret for you."

Duan Xiyang looked at the pile of particles on the ground with pride, "I want to see who it is that has made you so content, without any worries or obsessions, and how they will practice your gun techniques."

"He will come out one day."

"I'll wait for him to reach his peak, and then we'll have a battle! At that time, it will be a battle that transcends time and connects us across the ages. I'm looking forward to that day, and I'm sure you are too."

Duan Xiyang bowed slightly, "Lord Jun Lin!"

He waved his hand, and the particles on the ground suddenly rose, falling into his hand, and then all turned into powder."

Duan Xiyang turned and walked out the door.

As soon as he stepped out of the treasure hall, he saw Yan Nan, Bi Changhong, and Chen Guyi walking towards him, and the two groups passed each other.

"Old Duan, I heard that the Golden Armored Gun shattered. What happened?"

Yan Nan inquired.

"It shattered and disappeared," Duan Xiyang replied.

"Disappeared?" Yan Nan's eyes sharpened. "Duan Xiyang, you don't want us to see it?"

All three were peak experts, no weaker than Duan Xiyang, and they couldn't help but understand the situation.

"This is a matter for the gun," Duan Xiyang said indifferently. "The White Bone Shattering Spear has been invincible and lonely for far too long."

"Invincible?"

Bi Changhong frowned. "Duan Xiyang, did you really say the word 'invincible'?"

"In the gun," Duan Xiyang said calmly. "I am invincible!"

Chen Gu spoke up, "Old Duan, I understand how you feel, but... you can't cultivate a powerful enemy for us in the future because of this."

"I didn't cultivate it."

"But by turning a blind eye, you're allowing the other party to grow!"

"Because I am invincible!"

Duan Xiyang's coldness filled the room as he turned and walked towards the door. His tall and slender figure, straight as a gun, paused at the entrance. "I've been waiting for thousands of years for the day the Golden Armored Gun shatters."

"So, no matter what, I must wait for the invincible gun of Jun Lin!"

"But rest assured, even if his successor grows, he will surely die under the White Bone Shattering Spear."

Bi Changhong's voice turned cold. "What if you lose?"

"I can't be defeated by a gun."

Duan Xiyang stated flatly.

His slender figure suddenly disappeared at the door.

Bi Changhong angrily said, "Fifth Brother, look at this Duan Xiyang! What an attitude!"

Yan Nan sighed. "That's just his temperament. You know that too. Moreover, back then when the brothers swore brotherhood, your words made Duan Xiyang withdraw from the brotherhood and become the chief guardian..."

Bi Changhong remembered the past and couldn't help but sigh as well, saying, "Back then... Ah, never mind."

He turned and took a few steps, but then he turned back and muttered, "Fifth Brother, is it necessary to hold a grudge for tens of thousands of years?"

Yan Nan paused for a moment before replying, "If Duan Xiyang had participated in the brotherhood ceremony, he would have been the seventh brother."

"Your words made him no longer a brother, and from then on, he was forever a subordinate."

"But over these years, have we ever truly treated him as a subordinate?"

"That's just your assumption."

Yan Nan patted his shoulder and said, "Changhong, when you have time, chat with Old Duan and have a drink. In this matter, none of us can take your place."

A glint of determination flashed in Bi Changhong's eyes, but he scoffed, "Are you asking me to apologize to him? It's been tens of thousands of years, and I've never apologized."

Yan Nan sighed.

Chen Gu and the other two exchanged glances, their eyes filled with helplessness.

Turning around, Chen Gu said, "Let's go."

Behind them, Bi Changhong's voice echoed, "Regarding the Gun God Legacy... let's follow Old Duan's lead."

The two turned to look, but Bi Changhong had already disappeared.

The two couldn't help but smile simultaneously.

Chen Gu shook his head. "Damn, what a couple of tsundere!"

The two exited the grand hall, about to go their separate ways to attend to their duties, when someone came to report.

"Deputy Sect Master, Duan Xiyang has gone down the mountain alone."

"Let him be."

...

At the Guardian Headquarters.

"Dong Changfeng?"

Dong Fang Sansan examined the intelligence, a smile spreading across her face. "Dong Changfeng obtaining the Gun God Legacy is a good thing. Spread the word, and say it's from me: we celebrate for Dong Changfeng."

"Yes."

"Disseminate the news across the entire continent, focusing on Dong Changfeng's past, especially his grudges and affections with the Life and Death Sword, Li Yao. Stir up Li Yao's formidable reputation. Legend has it that Li Yao's countless achievements will directly elevate him to the skies."

"Yes."

"Use Li Yao's accomplishments to list the heroes who have died at his hands over the years. Let the entire continent mourn them. Make their contributions to the people known, and especially publicize how they met their tragic ends at Li Yao's hands. Pay special attention to the various martial arts academies and promote this."

"On the day Li Yao dies, I want to see the morale of the Guardians across the continent soar."

"Yes."

"Go."

After the door closed, Dong Fang Sansan took out a communication jade. "Where are you? Still in the southeast?"

The last time Xue Fuxiao left, she went to the southeast again.

She was still worried about Duan Xiyang's search for the Gun God Legacy.

And Dong Fang Sansan never expected this guy to be so stubborn.

It was a lie she had made up, but now this guy was taking it as a serious matter, wandering around the southeast whenever he had the chance.

But she couldn't directly tell him it was a lie, or else Xue Fuxiao would go crazy: You're lying to me...

However, Dong Fang Sansan never expected that Xue Fuxiao's wandering around the southeast would actually prove useful.

The Gun God Legacy had truly appeared!

This was something Dong Fang Sansan never dreamed of, even in her wildest dreams.

"It's truly a stroke of luck. Xue Fuxiao is just there, and it's actually come in handy. It truly proves the saying: a fool has a fool's use."

Dong Fang Sansan herself felt it was quite remarkable.

Xue Fuxiao's reply immediately appeared, and she responded within seconds. "I'm still wandering around the mountains in the southeast... Third Brother, you're truly a master strategist, a god! A true god! The Gun God Legacy has indeed appeared. Tsk tsk, I can't even imagine how you calculated this. It's too divine!"

Xue Fuxiao was thoroughly impressed.

It was truly divine!

It had been calculated!
