Ye Xuan's dominance at the Martial Arts Conference and the swift downfall of the Liu Family are confirmed. Li Lao remains unfazed, attributing these events to destiny and Ye Xuan's incredible power. He advises the Li family to remain loyal followers of Ye Xuan, positioning them for future benefits. Meanwhile, the nation is in shock as a new era dawns, with powerful figures scrambling to understand Ye Xuan's next move.

"Investigate, investigate immediately! I need to know all of Master Ye’s upcoming actions, everything he intends to do!"

"Where is Master Ye planning to build a grave? Find out thoroughly for me, I need to know the exact location, time, down to every inch of land and every second!"

"Does Master Ye need anything? Go check, if he does, we must spare no effort to help!"

"..."

The entire Yan Country was in turmoil!

Countless big shots lay awake at night, and even many old monsters who normally distanced themselves from worldly affairs were getting agitated during this period.

The vast Yan Country became extraordinarily lively in an instant.

...

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a week had passed.

Today is a good day for erecting a monument and worship.

So, Ye Xuan chose this day to build a grave for the Divine Doctor Sect, and the pre-selected location is a hilltop in the East Sea West Suburb.

Ye Xuan was an orphan, but undoubtedly, a fortunate orphan.

Once, this hilltop was the most desolate and poorest cemetery in the East Sea, with only the lowest strata of society erecting monuments and building graves here.

But Ye Xuan knew, from today onwards, this place would become the most prestigious cemetery in all of Yan Country!

Dawn arrived, the sky at the horizon turning pale.

Mist shrouded the mountains, rendering the view blurry.

Ye Xuan carried a customized tombstone, walking up step by step from the foot of the mountain to a graveyard halfway up.

Digging the earth, erecting the monument.

Ye Xuan set up the tombstones for the Divine Doctor Sect one by one.

Mission accomplished.

Ye Xuan stood up, gazing at the tombstones in front of him, silent for a long time, finally letting out a faint sigh: "Old man, the Divine Doctor Sect has a resting place now, even though it was destroyed. Whenever you return, come and pay respects!"

The cold tombstone naturally gave no response to Ye Xuan.

Hidden Dragon Qiao Family.

Clearly, Chen Xuanba didn’t know that during the martial arts upheaval over the years, the Zhao Family was merely the executioner for the Hidden Dragon Qiao Family, otherwise, Chen Xuanba wouldn’t have remained silent about the existence of Hidden Dragon.

But what are the facts?

Judging from the martial arts conference, where Zhao Xunjian died and Qiao Tianzhao hypocritically sought to punish Ye Xuan, it already spoke volumes.

If the Qiao Family and Zhao Family weren’t closely related, what right would they have to be so determined to eradicate Ye Xuan?

In this world, enmity never arises from thin air; all intense hatreds are just born from disputes over interests.

Ultimately, it came down to Ye Xuan impacting the Hidden Dragon Qiao Family’s interests.

But what interests?

All this time, Ye Xuan had been pondering this question and finally concluded... Source Stone.

Lin Family’s Source Stone!

Upon deeper thought, when did the old man from the Lin Family learn of the Source Stone’s existence?

Over a decade ago.

And when did the martial arts upheaval occur?

Holy Mansion.

What’s the relationship between the Holy Mansion and the Zhao Family?

From this deduction, the truth seemingly becomes visible.

It must have been since the Lin Family’s old man learned of the Source Stone’s existence, his greed surged, and he began building forces to enrich himself, even at the cost of spreading news about the Source Stone, perhaps subsequently discovered by the Holy Mansion or leaked to the Zhao Family.

Then, the Zhao Family and Holy Mansion formed an alliance, and with the Zhao Family’s help, the Holy Mansion grew rapidly in the Mortal World, while the Lin Family’s old man became their puppet.

The Source Stone possesses tremendous energy, which is tempting not only to the Mortal World but to the Martial Arts and even to the Hidden Dragon.

Zhao Xunjian realized he couldn’t hold onto such a mystical treasure, so he simply relinquished his greed, using the Source Stone to appease the Hidden Dragon Qiao Family.

The Hidden Dragon Qiao Family took action, operating in the shadows, helping Zhao Xunjian eliminate rivals to ascend to the position of Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, inciting a sudden storm of bloodshed and chaos.

The Divine Doctor Sect perished in the blood sea...

Ye Xuan’s speculations might have slight discrepancies, but generally, they’re not far from the truth.

You must know that back then, the Divine Doctor Sect would pay tribute to various families of the Hidden Dragon every year, so how could the Qiao Family be an exception?

"Hidden Dragon, Qiao Family, Lou Xinyu..."

Ye Xuan squinted his eyes, the deep, dark pupils gleaming with a chilling gleam.

His dream is a world without enmity.

And now it seems, clearly, there is still a journey to undertake...

"Oh, who is this? Ye Xuan? Is that you?" Standing in front of the tombstone, Ye Xuan, lost in thought, was suddenly roused by a man’s voice.

Ye Xuan was startled, snapped back, and turned around, seeing a man in his thirties with glasses.

Ye Xuan frowned slightly: "You are..."

"I’m Liu Liyang, your middle school classmate!" The man with glasses glanced at the tombstone, then scrutinized Ye Xuan: "You’re Ye Xuan, right? I remember... you were an abandoned child, picking up trash after being abandoned by your family, weren’t you?"

While speaking, Liu Liyang’s gaze at Ye Xuan was almost undisguisedly filled with contempt and mockery.

Ye Xuan was momentarily taken aback, recalling carefully, finally remembering this Liu Liyang before him.

Yes, a middle school classmate, and one who never liked him.

Ye Xuan couldn’t help but smile.

Interesting!

Everyone knew, Ye Xuan’s adolescent years were exceptionally brilliant.

A genius prodigy.

But geniuses are always envied.

Ye Xuan’s brilliance overshadowed many students back then, especially those in their class, who all seemed dull in contrast to Ye Xuan’s aura.

For those whose academic performance wasn’t great, it was bearable; but for characters like Liu Liyang, who was a top student, how could they be okay with it?

Before Ye Xuan joined their class, Liu Liyang was the undisputed top student, a high achiever, with a reasonably good appearance. Back then, he was the school’s heartthrob, with countless admirers, unmatched in popularity.

And after Ye Xuan came?

Everything changed.

All eyes, both teachers and students, were on Ye Xuan.

In the year Ye Xuan spent in middle school, Liu Liyang was his classmate, and within that year, Liu Liyang was completely forgotten, so much so that many no longer remembered who he was.

All they knew was that their school had a once-in-a-lifetime prodigy, Ye Xuan...

Liu Liyang came from a poor background, with somewhat low self-esteem, and having gained teachers’ and students’ attention and respect through academic excellence, had barely savored the feeling of being on top before being upstaged by a little brat. How could his heart be at ease?

Thus, during school days, Liu Liyang frequently mocked Ye Xuan, calling him a garbage picker, a wild child without parents.

Ye Xuan had several physical confrontations with him, but the results were always miserable defeats.

Yet this did not dissipate Liu Liyang’s resentment; he wanted even more viciously to bully Ye Xuan...

Later, Liu Liyang became the school’s prominent scholar and heartthrob again, regaining respect and admiration from the masses.

He felt gratified, but there remained a burden in his heart.
