Chapter 759 has been sulking for a few days
The Mu Family and the Yan Family had fallen out, and she had known about it for some time, but only now had she learned the full story. Fortunately, both sides still exercised restraint, merely avoiding any interactions but not yet escalating to irreconcilable hostility."The Yan Family thinks that since Yan Yuchu has emerged, they can consider the Heavenly Destiny Star Plate as theirs for the taking. They want us to simply give up, not knowing my beloved granddaughter awakened her bloodline before the age of 16, incomparable to Yan Yuchu. For your safety, I of course would not reveal this to the Yan Family, simply refusing the Yan Family Patriarch’s request outright, and we parted on bad terms.
The Yan family is petty and fears we might target Yan Yuchu, even banning our descendants from going to Xiaoyang City. I can’t be bothered to stoop to their level." The elderly man clearly harbored strong resentment toward the Yan Family, puffing his beard and glaring as he spoke. Mu Hanyan finally understood why Xiaoyang City had been deemed forbidden and they were not allowed to go.
"Is it just going to end like this?" Seeing her grandfather in such a huff like an angry child, Mu Hanyan couldn’t help but laugh softly before continuing.
If no agreement could be reached, the Mu Family and the Yan Family were bound to become enemies, possibly repeating the history of conflict that had occurred between the Mu and Zhao Families. Whether for the greater good of the Mu Family or because of her personal connection with Yan Yuchu, Mu Hanyan did not want to see such an outcome.
"Of course not. That old man was sulking for a few days and then came back to negotiate with me, proposing to settle the ownership of the Heavenly Destiny Star Plate through a competition at Long Yan Academy among the disciples.
According to the rules of Long Yan Academy, three months after the new students are enrolled, a grand competition is held. The winner gets the opportunity to train in the academy’s forbidden lands. Long Yan Academy has more than one training forbidden land, and according to the information we’ve acquired, this year’s training site is likely the location of the Heavenly Destiny Star Card—an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.
That old fool from the Yan Family thinks it’s incredible that Yan Yuchu has had a bloodline awakening. This time, I’ll show him just how formidable our Mu Family is." As he spoke, Mu Beichen revealed a smug smile.
Clearly, having Mu Hanyan awaken her bloodline before the age of 16 made him extremely proud as a grandfather.
"Grandfather, rest assured, I won’t disappoint you," declared Mu Hanyan confidently.
If the opponent had been someone else, Mu Hanyan might have been worried; but since it was Yan Yuchu, Lady Mu wasn’t concerned at all. After all, Yan Yuchu’s strength today owed much to her. Whether as a true enemy or a feigned one, Mu Hanyan was confident she would not lose to Yan Yuchu.
"I believe that. From childhood till now, you have never let me down. Not to mention outsiders, even the disciples of the Zong Family over the years haven’t realized there’s something different about you. Many still think you’re just an ignorant playboy only capable of bullying men and dominating women—Mu Baijia, Mu Wanku, Mu Siyi, hahaha..." Hearing Mu Hanyan’s words, Mu Beichen burst into hearty laughter.
Mu Hanyan sweat-dropped—what Mu Baijia, Mu Wanku, Mu Siyi; these were all thanks to their fueling the fire, and they had the nerve to mock her. Especially that super pitfall of a dad, digging holes for his daughter expertly and decisively.
"Grandfather, do I not need to hide my strength anymore?" asked Mu Hanyan.
"Wanting to hide might not be so easy anymore. Your strength has reached the Sword Master Realm, and to further improve, merely secluding oneself for intensive training isn’t enough. One needs more experiences to gain insights and find breakthrough opportunities, how could you keep hiding it?
Fortunately, since the arrival of the temple’s masters to the Holy Court Continent, even strength comparable to that of a Sword Saint has been suppressed to the Sword Master Realm, unless they desperately resort to Forbidden Techniques to tear the Seal. They have not arrived on the Holy Court Continent through the Sealed Forbidden Land easily; unless absolutely necessary, they would not readily use Forbidden Techniques. So you don’t have to worry too much about them. Even if they use Forbidden Techniques, if you can’t beat them, just run. All you need to do is hold out until the Forbidden Technique ends.
My real worry is the other descendants of the Guardian of the Gods. The Zhao Family, for the Heavenly Destiny Star Plate, would stop at nothing, and others might do the same. Unfortunately, apart from the Zhao Family and Yan Family, I know nothing about the other Guardians’ descendants and can’t provide any tips; you’ll have to be extra cautious yourself," Mu Beichen said seriously.
"Grandfather, I’ll be careful," Mu Hanyan replied solemnly.
The exact whereabouts of the other Guardians’ descendants and whether they were good or evil remained unknown to her, but there was one person she did know—Fourth Miss Zhao.
Although the Zhao Family had been destroyed, Fourth Miss Zhao had miraculously come back to life. If she was not mistaken, Fourth Miss Zhao must have also awakened the Divine Bloodline within her, resurrecting in a bizarre twist and possibly becoming more powerful than other Guardian descendants.
With a blood feud and a grudge of life and death, given Fourth Miss Zhao’s nature, there was no way she would let things go easily. Of course, should they meet again, Mu Hanyan would certainly not give her another chance to live. Mu Hanyan’s eyes chilled—having killed her once, she could very well kill her a second time!

"By the way, grandfather, I have a few guards with me, Huayue, Zirong, and Jiang Yuzhe, who also have some mysterious aspects to them..." Suddenly remembering Huayue and the others, Mu Hanyan shared with Mu Beichen the peculiar details about them, emphasizing the phrase "Martial God Descending, Dominating Heaven and Earth."
"What, such strange occurrences too!" Hearing Mu Hanyan’s words, Mu Beichen was greatly taken aback and then fell into deep thought.
Due to her father not being very clear about the family secrets and not wanting to interfere too much in Mu Hanyan’s affairs for fear his subjective assumptions might impact her growth, he often refrained from asking too much. Hence, Mu Hanyan also did not mention much, so this was the first time Mu Beichen had heard about this.
Seeing her grandfather frowning in thought and remaining silent for a long time, Mu Hanyan did not speak to interrupt him.
"As for Huayue’s background, your father did mention him a few times in his letters. I initially thought he was just a common descendant of temple priests, leaving the temple and returning to the Holy Court Continent because he missed his homeland. When the continent split, some tribes inadvertently got separated from their homeland and later tried to find ways to return; such incidents have not been uncommon over the tens of thousands of years.
But hearing what you just said, could there be some hidden extra details?
Also, that Zirong and Jiang Yuzhe also had such extraordinary experiences, could it be that they too are descendants of the Guardian of the Gods?
But that doesn’t make sense. Our Mu Family has been searching for other Guardians’ descendants, yet for all these years, we’ve only known the identities of the Zhao and Yan Families. How could suddenly so many God’s descendants appear, and all gather around you?" After a long while, Mu Beichen spoke in disbelief.
"Grandfather, you don’t know either?" Mu Hanyan had hoped to find answers from him; hearing this non-answer left her somewhat disappointed.
