“You have no right to speak here.” As soon as Ye Futian’s voice fell, he heard a chiding coming from Muyun Shu. There was hostility in the boy’s eyes.

He had always been a favorite in the village, spoiled and doted by many people. Everyone had made provisions for him until Ye Futian showed up in the village. Then, everything changed.

Now, these rascals actually proposed to expel him from the village, to chase him, Muyun Shu, the number one amongst his generation of the Four Corner Village, out of the village! How unthinkable and preposterous.

“Kid, shut your mouth!” Fang Gai barked at Muyun Shu. He never liked Muyun Shu and had suppressed his dislike for him all these years. Now that he could make his own choices, the Muyun family must be expelled from the village. Although the Muyun family may elevate the overall strength of Four Corner Village, their hearts were no longer for the village, so what would be the use of allowing them to stay? On the contrary, the stronger they became, the greater the threat they posed to the village.

“Someone who’s been expelled from the village had no right to speak.” Young Fang Cun also stepped forward to scold Muyun Shu.

Muyun Shu stared at Fang Cun. The fierceness in his eyes was tinged with a faint murderous intent.

Fang Cun’s eyes were full of contempt as he returned the stare without fear. In the village, Fang Cun had always been one of the boys who were not afraid of Muyun Shu. Now that he had inherited the divine technique, he had no reason to fear much, especially when this punk dared to shout at his master.

“You want to die?” Muyun Shu stepped forward. The aura upon his body roared madly.

“Think I’m afraid of you?” Fang Cun stepped forward as well. The two youths faced each other pointedly. They were of similar age, and both had inherited the divine technique, so neither feared the other.

Muyun Long and Muyun Lan didn’t stop them. Fang Gai and the others also just watched quietly.

Tie Tou wanted to step in to help, but Blind Tie stopped him with a hand on his shoulder as if allowing the two youths to continue their conflict by themselves.

Buzz! The intention of the Great Path circulated as Muyun Shu levitated into the air. A magnificent vision now formed behind him, and it was the Picture of the Domineering Golden Roc. He surveyed Fang Cun, who was below, and yelled, “Get up here!”

Fang Cun soared into the air, with the light of the Great Path lingering around his body. Countless streamers of light flowing about, creating a small world in this space.

In this small world, the phenomena of heaven and earth were abound with endless changes. There were mountains and rivers, and changes in the universe. It was as if a world was hidden in this small space.

Fang Cun had inherited the divine technique, Miniature World, one of the seven great divine techniques.

Ye Futian suspected that Fang Gai had always known that they had the potential to inherit the divine technique of Miniature World, hence the reason for Fang Cun’s name. Now, it seemed that Fang Cun was justified to inherit the divine technique of Miniature World.

Buzz! The wind was raging as the wings formed by countless divine lights slashed down. Golden brilliance tore through the space as Muyun Shu rushed towards Fang Cun. His eyes were extremely cold, revealing his desire to end Fang Cun’s life right here.

All the grownups were looking at them, and their hearts slightly trembled. Muyun Shu was but a teenager, but the strength he exhibited was truly frightening; it painted a terrifying picture. Even the war between grown men could be no fiercer.

Buzz!

Divine light smashed down and pierced into the Miniature World, but now countless rays of light were blooming inside of it. They shattered Muyun Shu’s attack so that it could not get close to Fang Cun within the Miniature World.

The wind tore through the space as Muyun Shu swooped down, and his wings spread wide to shield the sky. Like a truly sacred golden roc, it tried to bisect the space and split it in two. If Fang Cun were to be hit by it, he would no doubt be cut in half.

A bright vision erupted from the Picture of the Domineering Golden Roc. Tie Tou and the other youths watched anxiously, worried that Fang Cun would get hurt.

Boom! The Miniature World exploded around Fang Cun. Suddenly, mountains slammed down as rivers were rushing. A terrible sight appeared between heaven and earth. The radiant golden roc swooped down to break through those mountains and rivers, continuing its way through.

Fang Cun’s eyes still showed some determination as an extremely sharp light flashed through them. A golden light burst out from the Miniature World, like infinite golden divine wings. In the next moment, the crowd saw that several golden rocs had appeared.

Buzz! One gigantic golden roc rose against the momentum as if trying to tear through the sky. It collided with Muyun Shu, who was coming in for the kill. The void shook violently as two golden divine lights clashed. Muyun Shu was knocked backward, and so was Fang Cun. The two young men separated, but Muyun Shu couldn’t hide the great shock in his eyes.

“Golden Roc Heaven Slayer Technique.”

Not just Muyun Shu, but everyone around them was speechless, to say the least. Everyone in the village was stunned. Even Old Ma and Fang Gai stood up and stared at Fang Cun in disbelief.

What was going on?

In addition to the Miniature World, how could he also know of the Golden Roc Heaven Slayer Technique?

Although it was not in its orthodox form and far from flawless as the one released by Muyun Shu, it was indeed the Golden Roc Heaven Slayer Technique, just in a less completed form. However, the essence of the technique was clearly detectable.

Even Muyun Long and Muyun Lan had their hearts pounding. Their eyes were glued to Fang Cun as Muyun Long looked at Fang Gai coldly and said, “How did you steal it?”

Had it been leaked by Muyun Shu?

Fang Gai looked bewildered because he didn’t know how this could have happened either. He looked at Fang Cun and shouted, “Fang Cun, what’s going on?”

Fang Cun turned and glanced at Ye Futian. When he saw Ye Futian nodded to give him permission, Fang Cun said, “Didn’t the master already said? Even if the people leave the village, the divine techniques remain. The divine techniques belong to the village; no one can take it away, and no one is irreplaceable.”

Fang Cun’s words and his actions were heard and seen by everyone. In an instant, all eyes were on Ye Futian once again; was it taught by him?

Muyun Long’s expression was gloomy and cold. Fang Cun knew the Golden Roc Heaven Slayer Technique, which meant that Ye Futian had already begun teaching him before he officially became Fang Cun’s teacher when everyone was still looking for opportunities.

Why would Ye Futian do this?

It seemed that this was pointed at them. Even as they went to Old Ma’s house that day to chase Ye Futian away and when Old Ma proposed to expel Muyun Family, Ye Futian had already begun to lay the trap for them.

No one was irreplaceable. So that even without the Muyun family in the village, the divine techniques would still be here.

No wonder Fang Cun treated Ye Futian differently, following him around, trying to apprentice under him.

Fang Gai was a little shocked. He didn’t expect to be kept in the dark or that his kid’s lips were this tight. Nonetheless, he was ecstatic at this moment. It seemed that the Muyun family was destined to be out of the picture after all.

He cast a sideways glance at Ye Futian, thinking that this man was more than meets the eye. He may look calm and nonchalant on the outside, but he had been plotting against the Muyun’s family in secret.

In fact, Ye Futian had no choice in the matter either. He had offended the Muyun family, and his identity had been exposed. Now that the ban had been lifted, he had to protect himself and avoid being expelled by Muyun Long. Otherwise, not even he could guarantee that there won’t be some catastrophe in the near future.

Muyun Shu regarded Ye Futian with gloomy eyes. How could he know of the Golden Roc Heaven Slayer Technique?

“How did you do it?” Muyun Long’s eyes still focused on Ye Futian.

“The head of Muyun family had said before that I am a person of great fortune. Since I am a person of great fortune, I can see things that many can’t. Although I cannot inherit the divine techniques, I can still learn something from them,” said Ye Futian.

“So, do you mean that you have mastered all seven great divine techniques?” Muyun Long asked again.

“I can perceive them,” Ye Futian replied. Muyun Long turned his head to looked into the distance, “So, you comprehended under the ancient tree because you could see more than the others. It seems that their awakening and cultivation were no coincidence after all.”

At this moment, Muyun Long knew that he had lost, truly and totally defeated. The ability exhibited previously by Fang Cun suggested that Ye Futian could bring more to Four Corner Village than they had suspected before. In fact, he might already have brought more to them than they knew.

The relationship between the Muyun family and Ye Futian was one that could never coexist. In addition, Ye Futian controlled four out of the seven families, and they all supported Ye Futian. This meant that Muyun Long could no longer surpass Ye Futian in the opinions of the people in the village.

He knew he was selfish, and Ye Futian had been working to promote Four Corner Village. If it weren’t because Ye Futian was not a member of the village, he might indeed have already become the village chief.

“Muyun Long, the teacher had witnessed everything. Now that a decision was made, why don’t you leave on your own and save some dignity for yourself?” Lao Ma said. The request for Muyun Long to withdraw from the seven great families had been agreed by four of them, so even if the other two opposed, Muyun Long would still lose.

“Furthermore, Muyun Shu is arrogant beyond reason. He took action again today and said some crazy things. Please get him out of the village,” he continued. Muyun Shu’s eyes were extremely cold, but Muyun Long stood up and said, “Let’s go.”

Once he finished speaking, he began to walk toward the outside, not intending to stay here any longer.

This time, they had lost so completely that he was left with nothing to say.

Muyun Lan turned to take one last look at Ye Futian and the others, then left as well. He didn’t expect that his return after so many years away would end like this; it was a bit ironic.

Ye Futian and his people watched the Muyun family’s departure, wondering if they would give up so easily and let this be the end of it.

Probably not.

Muyun Long had great ambition, while Muyun Shu was extremely arrogant. Coupled with the relationship between Muyun Lan and the Nanhai family, things would not end so easily. The cultivators from the Nanhai family were now inside the village, including their elder Nanhai Wuji!
