"What? Dugu Jian heavily injured Senior Brother Han all by himself?"

Both Xie Guanchao and Zhou Peng were shocked.

Because all the rumors circulating outside claimed that Dugu Jian had ambushed Han Guiyi with Sikong Shuang and others to injure him. This was what had filled so many Guiyuan Sect disciples with righteous indignation.

But now, Han Guiyi was telling them a different story.

"Senior Brother Han, how could you conceal such crucial information on your own?"

Zhou Peng couldn’t help but reprimand Han Guiyi.

After all, this was no longer just Han Guiyi’s personal affair.

With Dugu Jian’s strength being so great, every Martial Artist in the Guiyuan Sect should have been warned.

It shouldn’t have been deliberately hidden, causing the Guiyuan Sect to misjudge Dugu Jian’s power.

Han Guiyi suddenly looked up at Zhou Peng and said flatly, "I reported all of this to the Elders long ago. So, you should be asking them that question."

Zhou Peng’s expression froze.

Question the Elders?

He didn’t have the guts!

Xie Guanchao had also come to his senses. He sighed and said, "Senior Brother Zhou, there’s no need to blame Senior Brother Han. Since this was the Elders’ decision, it’s obvious they didn’t want this news to get out. Otherwise, wouldn’t the Guiyuan Sect disciples panic? At that point, what’s the use of fighting for the ore vein? We might as well just surrender..."

Zhou Peng had actually realized this as well.

The conflict between the Guiyuan Sect and the Five Elements Sect was to determine the ownership of the ore vein.

A rule was even established that Martial Artists at Pill Force or above could not participate.

Therefore, Huajin was the highest level of Cultivation allowed.

If Dugu Jian was already invincible within the Huajin realm, what fighting spirit would the Guiyuan Sect’s Martial Artists have left once the news spread?

The battle couldn’t possibly continue.

They might as well just admit defeat.

"Is Dugu Jian’s strength really that great?"

Zhang Su asked.

"Yes, and he’s even stronger than you can imagine! I used to think I was on par with Dugu Jian, but this time, he made me understand that in our past fights, he was most likely not using his full strength."

"However, Dugu Jian is a maverick and doesn’t seem to follow the orders of the Five Elements Sect Elders. He has only one goal: to earn merit points!"

"If it weren’t for so many people surrounding me last time, so many people watching, making it difficult for Dugu Jian to show mercy, I probably wouldn’t have been so heavily injured..."

As Han Guiyi spoke, his expression clearly fell.

He had prided himself on being an expert on the same level as Dugu Jian.

But after being defeated so cleanly by Dugu Jian, he finally realized that Dugu Jian had never gone all out in their previous encounters.

From beginning to end, Dugu Jian only wanted to accumulate more merit points.

Dugu Jian even hoped this conflict would last as long as possible.

Hearing Han Guiyi’s words, both Zhou Peng and Xie Guanchao fell silent.

They went to fight the people of the Five Elements Sect every day.

They had originally thought it was an evenly matched struggle, a chance to bring glory to the Sect.

But in reality, it was just that Dugu Jian hadn’t gone on a killing spree.

Otherwise, if Dugu Jian had just kept killing, the conflict between the two sects would have ended long ago.

"Dugu Jian, he’s that bold? The Five Elements Sect isn’t going to deal with him?"

Zhou Peng couldn’t help but ask.

"Dugu Jian has an extraordinary background. He has a deep connection with Shi Buyi. The Five Elements Sect Elders can’t do anything to him."

Han Guiyi said faintly.

Everyone understood.

Shi Buyi!

That was the one and only Celestial Pride of the Five Elements Sect!

His status in the Five Elements Sect was supreme.

What were Elders?

Even the Sect Leader had to treat Shi Buyi as an equal.

With this connection, what reason did Dugu Jian have to fear the Elders?

"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother Han."

Zhang Su now understood why Elder Wang had privately warned him to be careful of Dugu Jian.

’So Dugu Jian is this strong, far surpassing Han Guiyi. He’s truly kept his abilities hidden.’

However, the Guiyuan Sect was also happy to keep this information under wraps.

Dugu Jian most likely wouldn’t go on a killing spree.

He wouldn’t completely crush the Guiyuan Sect.

Following Dugu Jian’s disposition, he would most likely let this drag on, continuously fighting the Guiyuan Sect. This way, he could endlessly accumulate merit points.

Even if the Five Elements Sect Elders knew, there was nothing they could do.

But if things continued like this, the Guiyuan Sect would still ultimately be unable to escape defeat.

...

At the Five Elements Sect, Sikong Shuang’s body had been brought back.

An Elder had specifically summoned Dugu Jian.

"Dugu Jian, you’ve seen it yourself. That Zhang Su’s strength is astounding. A month ago, he could only kill Jiang Taizhen, but now he’s managed to kill Sikong Shuang and He Feng. Only you can take action to kill Zhang Su."

The Elder’s tone when addressing Dugu Jian was very gentle.

Not at all like the condescending way he treated other disciples.

Dugu Jian glanced at Sikong Shuang’s corpse.

He naturally recognized Sikong Shuang.

Her strength was indeed formidable; he hadn’t expected her to be killed by Zhang Su.

This was indeed somewhat surprising to him.

But that was all.

In fact, Dugu Jian was even faintly looking forward to it.

Last time, he had been forced to heavily injure Han Guiyi, which had already given the Five Elements Sect a massive advantage.

It was even possible they could launch a full-scale attack, defeat the Guiyuan Sect, and seize the ore vein in Hengshan County.

This was a good thing for the Five Elements Sect.

But for Dugu Jian, it was not a good thing.

Once the conflict ended, he would no longer be able to earn merit points.

Besides, Dugu Jian was very confident.

He wouldn’t harm the Sect’s interests.

As long as he was there, the final victory would surely belong to the Five Elements Sect.

Now, Zhang Su’s sudden and meteoric rise had made the Five Elements Sect Elders nervous.

’This is a good thing.’

Because now he didn’t have to worry about the Guiyuan Sect being defeated too quickly.

’As for raising a tiger to cause future trouble?’

Dugu Jian never believed that anyone could become his rival.

Han Guiyi couldn’t.
