Ye Chenfeng achieves an unprecedented twenty resonances with his artifact, stunning everyone. Two ancestors, Li Muyan and Shi Wan’an, intervene to uphold the results and punish Elder Zhao for his outburst. However, two more ancestors, Qi Kangfu and Zhang Hezhi, arrive and attempt to protect Elder Zhao and his allies, leading to a tense standoff. Ye Chenfeng ultimately disables Elder Zhao's Dantian, escalating the conflict between the factions.

"Ah~"

A heart-wrenching scream echoed through the air.

Elder Zhao howled madly, cold sweat instantly pouring from his forehead.

The crippling pain from his abolished Dantian made his entire body twitch slightly, his face full of agony.

This was a dual torment, both physical and mental. To re-condense a Dantian is extremely difficult. At least relying solely on Elder Zhao himself, he certainly couldn’t accomplish it. From now on, he is a thoroughly useless person.

Ye Chenfeng glanced at Elder Zhao lying on the ground and said blandly, "Alright, we’re even now. This bet was one you set yourself."

Qi Kangfu and Zhang Hezhi saw Ye Chenfeng ignoring them and dared to directly attack Elder Zhao; their expressions darkened. To them, Ye Chenfeng was too brazen. Clearly, he was just a youngster from the Middle Realm. Even if his cultivation and artifact refining talents were extraordinary, so what?

Anyway, Ye Chenfeng would not join their faction. In their hearts, they felt a murderous intent towards Ye Chenfeng.

Li Muyan and Shi Wan’an stood next to Ye Chenfeng, with the aura of the Peak of the Divine Emperor Realm faintly emanating from Li Muyan’s body.

At the same time, Qi Kangfu also unwillingly emitted the aura of the Peak of the Divine Emperor Realm.

This caused the surrounding individuals’ expressions to change slightly.

In the Upper World, Soul Instrument Pavilion is considered one of the top forces. However, even though both Li Muyan and Qi Kangfu have Peak Divine Emperor Realm strength, there exists a distinction within the Peak Divine Emperor Realm. They primarily focus on artifact refining, so their combat power is not very strong. It’s even weaker than that of an average Peak Divine Emperor, yet undoubtedly stronger than later-stage Divine Emperor experts.

"Old Qi and Old Zhang, what do you intend to do? This duel was agreed upon by both parties. Now this young friend is merely claiming what’s rightfully his. What does it have to do with you two?" Li Muyan shouted coldly.

Shi Wan’an said as well, "I hereby formally invite this young friend to serve as a Guest Elder of our Soul Instrument Pavilion."

While speaking, he presented a purple Guest Elder token to Ye Chenfeng, saying, "Young friend, are you interested in becoming a Guest Elder of our Soul Instrument Pavilion?"

"Rest assured on one point; as a Guest Elder of our Soul Instrument Pavilion, you will have absolute freedom; we will not interfere with you."

Li Muyan promptly added, "Indeed, young friend, becoming a Guest Elder of our Soul Instrument Pavilion poses no restrictions on you. Conversely, you can enjoy various generous benefits from us."

Seeing Shi Wan’an and Li Muyan speaking to this point, since there are no restrictions, Ye Chenfeng temporarily becoming a Guest Elder of Soul Instrument Pavilion isn’t problematic.

He casually accepted the purple Guest Elder token handed by Shi Wan’an.

But Qi Kangfu and Zhang Hezhi’s expressions became even grimmer.

Zhang Hezhi shouted, "Have you two gone mad? Giving him the Supreme Guest Elder token?!?"

Soul Instrument Pavilion has three types of Guest Elder tokens: white, black, and purple. The white token represents the lowest status, black is next, and purple signifies the highest status known as the Supreme Guest Elder token.

Anyone holding a Supreme Guest Elder token has a status in Soul Instrument Pavilion only second to the Ancestor and Pavilion Master, making them notable figures within the pavilion.

Li Muyan and Shi Wan’an had directly handed the Supreme Guest Elder token to Ye Chenfeng, clearly having high expectations for him.

"We have two allocations for the Supreme Guest Elder token, and whom we allocate it to seems like none of your business, right? From now on, this young friend is our Supreme Guest Elder of Soul Instrument Pavilion."

Li Muyan, full of vigor, fixed his gaze upon Duan Yan and Liu Tongshi, saying, "I heard you two offended our young friend earlier? Now he is the Supreme Guest Elder of Soul Instrument Pavilion, shouldn’t you apologize?"

"Don’t forget the rules here. You intervened in this young friend’s artifact refining duel, violating the rules."

Qi Kangfu sneered, "Old Li, stop talking nonsense here. Your and Old Shi’s disciples intervened too. Shouldn’t you first punish your own disciples?"

Li Muyan replied calmly, "If so, why not let our disciples compete against yours in artifact refining, wagering their Dantians as a stake? It would also serve as their punishment."

"Of course, if you’re unwilling, you can have your disciples compete against this young friend in artifact refining. Choose whichever option you like."

"As our Soul Instrument Pavilion’s Supreme Guest Elder, shouldn’t we provide an explanation for him? Or do you think he isn’t qualified to be a Supreme Guest Elder?"

"Fine, then I can offer you two another chance: if you can produce twenty resonances, I’ll consider what I said earlier as nonsense."

Qi Kangfu and Zhang Hezhi’s expressions turned unbearably ugly as if they swallowed a fly. They knew their disciples’ artifact refining levels, though all are Eighth Grade Artifact Refiners, they’re inferior to Xiao Feifei and the others.

As for competing against Ye Chenfeng, they shouldn’t even consider it; after all, he’s someone who did manage to achieve twenty resonances.

In addition, Qi Kangfu and Zhang Hezhi indeed are Supreme Artifact Refiners, but attempting twenty resonances is simply a pipe dream.

Therefore, they were left speechless, completely unable to find words to counter, especially with so many Soul Instrument Pavilion disciples and elders present.

These three choices are pitfalls for them! Falling into them would likely greatly damage their prestige in Soul Instrument Pavilion.

Qi Kangfu and Zhang Hezhi didn’t wish to remain here anymore. They were clearly in the wrong, and given Ye Chenfeng indeed has become the pavilion’s current Supreme Guest Elder, apologizing seems the only immediate remedy.

After all, Duan Yan and Liu Tongshi did interfere with the previous duel, and their artifact refining level couldn’t match Xiao Feifei, Shen Han, or Ye Chenfeng; what else could they do now?

Duan Yan and Liu Tongshi received a voice transmission from their masters; their expressions immediately fell. They knew in this situation all they could do was temporarily compromise, blaming only their low artifact refining level, as they couldn’t assert themselves.

Step by step, they approached Ye Chenfeng, gritting their teeth as they said, "Sorry."

After their disciples apologized.

Qi Kangfu and Zhang Hezhi snorted coldly together, with Zhang Hezhi waving his sleeve, "Isn’t it time for today’s matter to conclude?"

After speaking.

Without waiting for a response from Li Muyan and the others, they swiftly left with their disciples.
