Back in the cave, Han Tianque looked down at Ye Bei, whose cultivation had been sealed.
"Stay here in the cave. I'm going down the mountain with your uncle Guan to help you get rid of that martial arts hall that bullied you," Han Tianque instructed.
"You can't!"
Ye Bei's expression changed drastically as he hurriedly said, "You absolutely can't go! The people in that martial arts hall are really strong!"
"Hmph, my mind is made up. There's no need to say more," Han Tianque said coldly.
"Even if that martial arts hall is as strong as you say, there's no need to fear. After all, I'm going with your uncle Guan this time. He recently obtained great fortune and has reached the Martial Venerable realm. If anything unexpected happens, your uncle Guan will help out."
"Master, please listen to my advice. Even a Martial Venerable will be useless there!" Ye Bei earnestly advised in a grave tone, "Also, I will never tell you the address of the martial arts hall."
"Hmph, I already know where it is. There's no need for you to say it," Han Tianque snorted coldly.
Ye Bei's expression changed in shock. "How...how do you know?"
"Your protective treasure has my aura on it. I set it up in case you encountered any danger and I needed to save you, so I know clearly everywhere you've been," Han Tianque explained.
"What?"
Ye Bei's expression was ugly. He had wanted to withhold the address of the martial arts hall, but he hadn't expected...
No longer paying Ye Bei any attention, Han Tianque turned into a streak of light and left. He soon met up with Guan Yunpeng to head towards Pingjiang City.
"Old Han, I'll ride your flying sword. You can steer it while I cultivate," Guan Yunpeng said before they set off. "After all, I just broke through and my aura is still unstable. I need to adjust it."
"Alright, you go ahead and cultivate," Han Tianque replied.
He looked at Guan Yunpeng's Martial Venerable aura with envy filling his heart, even more eager for this trip.
If he could gain some fortune, he could finally break through to Martial Venerable as he wished.
"But before we get to that senior...I need to take care of some personal business first," Han Tianque added.
"What's so important about this personal business that you have to take care of it so urgently?" Guan Yunpeng asked, puzzled.
Upon hearing this, Han Tianque's expression darkened as he emitted a wrathful aura. "There are some shameless people in Pingjiang City extorting my disciple. How could I not be angry?"
"I see."
Guan Yunpeng nodded without saying more. After all, he knew Han Tianque's temper. Once he was set on something, no one could stop him, especially when it involved his beloved disciple.
"However..."
Han Tianque recalled Ye Bei's nervousness and didn't let down his guard. "My disciple said these people are quite strong. If we really run into unexpected trouble, I'll have to ask for your help as well!"
Hearing this, Guan Yunpeng felt somewhat arrogant.
Usually this arrogant Han Tianque would never bow his head to anyone. But now he was asking him for help.
The power of Martial Venerable really was different! Even someone as stubborn as Han Tianque would ask others for help when faced with formidable strength.
"Alright, if there's anything you can't resolve, I will lend a hand," Guan Yunpeng responded, unable to reject Han Tianque. He stuck out his chest proudly and said, "Just let me know when you need me."
"Thank you for obliging."
Han Tianque bowed his head slightly. A glow rose from his feet and his sword transformed into a three-zhang length. Like a meteor, it shot towards the distance.
Sitting crossed-legged atop the sword, Guan Yunpeng closed his eyes and settled his spirit to solidify his cultivation that had just entered the Martial Venerable realm.
With Han Tianque's Martial Ancestor cultivation, it didn't take long to travel thousands of miles.
They had set off at dusk the previous day, and by early morning of the next day, they were already above the martial arts hall.
"This is it," Han Tianque said in a cold voice, his gaze fixed intensely on the small martial arts hall below.
"Mm. Go take care of it first. I'll wait here. Let me know if you really need me to make a move," came Guan Yunpeng's calm voice from the air.
He didn't open his eyes, his spirit focused on cultivation.
"Alright. Old Guan, just wait here for a bit. I'll go take care of them and be right back," Han Tianque said as he dismissed his sword. He then dove down towards a barren area behind the martial arts hall.
He chose not to descend at the front gate, being somewhat cautious and not wanting to startle the snake in the grass.
He also wanted to inspect the martial arts hall first.
After looking it over, Han Tianque lowered his guard somewhat.
It didn't seem...anything out of the ordinary.
Not only was there no aura, he didn't see any formations around the martial arts hall either.
"Hmph. What a bluff."
"A bunch of petty crooks, daring to extort my disciple. Be extinguished by my sword!"
Filled with rage, Han Tianque shot up into the air.
The instant he took flight, his peak Martial Ancestor aura erupted. With a flick of his palm, the sword in his hand hummed.
Accompanied by an overbearing chill, radiant sword light scattered as he drew a massive afterimage in the air with a slash towards the martial arts hall.
Clearly, Han Tianque intended to slice the entire martial arts hall in half with one strike.
At the same time in the sky, Guan Yunpeng, who had been sitting cross-legged, withdrew his spirit from cultivation.
He had thought about it and felt it wasn't good for Han Tianque to go alone after all.
His attitude seemed a bit pretentious, making it look like he had changed after breaking through to Martial Venerable.
Besides, he could solidify his cultivation anytime. It wouldn't make a difference waiting a while longer.
With this thought, he slowly opened his eyes.
Hm?
Why did it seem familiar?
He looked down and swept his gaze around, immediately spotting the small martial arts hall.
"Huh?"
"We're at senior's place already?"
Guan Yunpeng said in surprise, "I don't seem to have told Old Han the address. How did he end up here?"
Just as he felt puzzled, he seemed to sense something. His eyes suddenly widened.
He hurriedly focused his senses to look and instantly saw Han Tianque with bloodshot eyes, raising the sword in his hand to hack at the martial arts hall.
"Oh no!"
Guan Yunpeng's heart lurched and his heart nearly jumped out in that moment.
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family."

Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
ose... to cooperate with the protagonist! Shen Yuan: I have a system! Protagonist: What? System: Holy crap, you're just spilling it out like that?

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
