Chapter 562: Chapter 553: Scoundrel!

Mo Wangchen’s figure descended slowly.

Standing before Fu Jingyan, he looked at the man and then spoke indifferently, "You have lost this wager. Now, follow me back to Lingdong Peak and guard the gate."

Fu Jingyan clenched his teeth; his expression was extremely unsightly, with the residue of fresh blood still at the corner of his mouth.

He looked at the other party for a good while before taking a deep breath, "I will not go back on my word, but I have one condition. If in the future, once I have the strength to defeat you, I shall regain my freedom!"

Mo Wangchen smiled, "You really are confident. Even now, you cannot defeat me, and the gap between us will only grow wider, but..."

"If there comes a day when you can truly defeat me, you will of course be free. I won’t make things difficult for you. A three-year term. If you still can’t defeat me within three years, I will also return your freedom."

Upon hearing this, Fu Jingyan wanted to say more, but he eventually held his tongue.

"To be honest, while your swordsmanship isn’t bad, compared to one of my disciples, you are still a long way off. Several years ago, my disciple was only at the Spirit Transformation Realm, and now, he is at the level of the Saint Venerable Realm, not much less than those so-called Saint Heirs."

"Both being Sword Cultivators, he had already grasped Sword Intent several years ago. Currently, he remains in the Lower Realm of Canglan; otherwise, you might not even stand a chance against him."

Mo Wangchen gave a faint smile, suddenly recalling Zhang Hao.

Before entering the Ancient Road, Zhang Hao had already reached the second or third layer of the Saint Venerable Realm. By now, he must be even higher. Coupled with Sword Intent and his Sword Dao talent, overall, he would not be much worse than Fu Jingyan before him.

"Disciple..."

Hearing Mo Wangchen’s words, Fu Jingyan fell silent again. One of Mo Wangchen’s disciples had already understood Sword Intent years ago?

It seemed now that not only could he not compare to Mo Wangchen, but he might not even surpass his disciple.

"Three years... These three years... For me, they might turn out to be an opportunity..."

For some reason, this thought unexpectedly surfaced in Fu Jingyan’s mind.

From Mo Wangchen, he saw a terrifying potential. Such a person, once grown, was bound to dominate the era.

Previously, he had always believed that Mo Wangchen was only able to contend with Ye Wudao by employing Law Phenomenon and various methods from Lin’s True Technique.

But now it seemed that those rumors could go to hell!

Eventually, under the gaze of everyone present, Fu Jingyan followed Mo Wangchen toward Lingdong Peak.

He looked like a dutiful attendant, always ready to obey orders.

Faced with such a turn of events, a group of disciples behind them couldn’t help but be dumbfounded.

"Yang Zhiyuan sent Fu Jingyan to cause trouble for Mo Wangchen, but now, Fu Jingyan has become someone else’s attendant, guarding the gate for three years..."

"I wonder, what kind of splendid expression will appear on Yang Zhiyuan’s face once he hears about this?"

Everyone was discussing the day’s unexpected events.

"Stay here. Without my command, you may not leave at will, and you cannot allow anyone to disturb my Cultivation."

After returning to his residence, outside the courtyard gate, Mo Wangchen addressed Fu Jingyan in this manner.

"Yes!"

Fu Jingyan respectfully responded and then sat cross-legged on a large rock not far from the gate.

The place was not far from Dao Yan Lake, which was considered a decent Cultivation environment for him.

As for being defeated by Mo Wangchen and serving as a gatekeeper, the news had probably already spread within the Sect. Although it was somewhat embarrassing, compared to the advancement of Cultivation, what was the worth of face?

From the moment he was defeated by Mo Wangchen, Fu Jingyan had come to terms with much, and his mindset had undergone considerable changes.

Mo Wangchen returned to his yard and didn’t bother with what Fu Jingyan was thinking. He sat down next to a large tree in the yard.

Subsequently, he took out the Copper Mirror engraved with the Immortal Seal of Inquiry, "In this world, only Baiyue Saint Master has comprehended the second seal of this mark, which shows the difficulty of Cultivation. Let’s see how it differs from other Dao Techniques..."

Having said this, he placed the Copper Mirror in front of him and released his Divine Thought to finely perceive it. Soon, he entered a special state.

"Senior brother... Fu Jingyan has been defeated..."

At a location on Heavenly Pillar Peak, a disciple approached Yang Zhiyuan and spoke cautiously.

Hearing this, Yang Zhiyuan opened his eyes from his meditation, "This is not unexpected to me. Although Fu Jingyan’s swordsmanship is strong, there should be quite a gap between him and Mo Wangchen. How was the battle? Could you gauge Mo Wangchen’s approximate strength?"

The disciple remained silent for a moment, then spoke, "Without using Law Phenomenon or Lin’s True Technique, Mo Wangchen’s combat power... perhaps... is still comparable to that of an Emperor Realm master... Fu Jingyan... couldn’t even withstanding a single strike..."

"Not even a single strike?"

Yang Zhiyuan furrowed his brow, "Mo Wangchen is that powerful even without Law Phenomenon?"

"This person has numerous methods at his disposal and is indeed not easy to deal with. During our battle, I also had to retreat. Now it seems his strength is even greater than I imagined."

Hearing Yang Zhiyuan’s words, the disciple before him was shocked. The outside world had always rumored that the Senior Brother had also crossed hands with Mo Wangchen.

Unexpectedly, the rumor was true!

And the outcome of the battle was Yang Zhiyuan’s defeat, forcing him to retreat?

"Now, the Sect wishes to appoint a Divine Son, and there is fierce competition among the monstrous talents of the various branches. Find a way to turn the target toward Mo Wangchen. He has not yet Proven Emperor, and now is the best time to suppress him. Otherwise, once he succeeds in his breakthrough to the Emperor Realm, there won’t be many who can stand against him."

"Understood!"

The disciple respectfully responded and was about to leave when Yang Zhiyuan suddenly asked, "Go and comfort Fu Jingyan. Victory and defeat are common occurrences in martial contests. Don’t take it too hard. He is already at the ninth layer of the Saint Venerable Realm, and it won’t be long before he can challenge the Emperor Realm. Once he successfully makes the breakthrough, he will also be a significant force for Heavenly Pillar Peak."

"This..."

Hearing this, the disciple was at a loss for words, then bluntly said, "Senior Brother... Fu Jingyan has not returned to Heavenly Pillar Peak but has gone to Lingdong Peak..."

"What’s going on?" Yang Zhiyuan frowned.

"He made a wager with Mo Wangchen before the match, and now that he has been defeated, he must serve Mo Wangchen by guarding the gate for three years..."

"Damn it!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Zhiyuan’s face darkened, and his aura burst forth, causing the disciple’s complexion to turn slightly pale.

"As a disciple from Heavenly Pillar Peak, he is now guarding gates for others? Do I, as the Senior Brother, still have any face left?!"

The disciple hastily said, "Senior Brother, calm your anger. A trivial Fu Jingyan is not worth noticing. However, he has followed you for many years and is privy to many of your affairs..."

A cold light flashed in Yang Zhiyuan’s eyes, "Only the dead can keep secrets!"
