For a long time afterward, Xia Muge heard news about Guo Yang and Zhang Haoran.
The gossip among these two within the inner circle is growing.
The biggest piece of gossip was that Xiao Shuyan and Zhang Haoran got into a fight over Guo Yang.
Despite the fact that those who spread the rumor were severely punished by Xiao Shuyan, she still publicly stated, "No matter who she chooses as her Daoist partner, it would never be someone like Guo Yang."
Xiao Shuyan's disdain for Guo Yang had become widely known within the inner sect.
Many people expressed their understanding.
However, this actually made her the target of Zhang Haoran's jealousy.
In Zhang Haoran's heart, Guo Yang was such an outstanding person.
Such an outstanding person was actually ostracized by Xiao Shuyan.
Guo Yang's reputation among the inner sect is not good these days, and Zhang Haoran blames it all on Xiao Shuyan.
He had completely forgotten that he had previously pursued Xiao Shuyan and threatened many of her suitors.
As a result, rumors began to circulate among the inner sect members: the Holy Son loved Xiao Shuyan but could not have her, so he used this method to smear Xiao Shuyan's reputation.
Many people believed it.
After all, Xiao Shuyan's rejection of the Holy Son's advances was a well-known fact within the inner sect.
These gossips escalated, and many inner sect elders also heard about them.
Many inner sect elders privately advised the sect leader: "I think that Guo Yang is the kind of person who stirs up trouble and stirs up trouble. We should get rid of such a person as soon as possible."
"After all, everything happened because of Guo Yang, so he should also take responsibility for it."
Sect Leader Ding Hui looked rather displeased.
Zhang Haoran is Ding Hui's most prized apprentice, and Ding Hui has high hopes for him.
However, unexpectedly, this prized disciple would actually turn against Xiao Shuyan for the sake of an outer disciple.
In fact, when Zhang Haoran was pursuing Xiao Shuyan, he was very optimistic about the relationship.
The Goddess Peak holds a transcendent position within the Divine Will Sect because each generation of Goddess Peak has a 'Goddess Legacy,' which even involves the destiny of immortals.
Besides, Goddess Peak has a rich cultural heritage.
Apart from the main peak, only the Goddess Peak has the highest cultural significance.
This brings us to the time when the Divine Will Sect was first established. The leaders of Goddess Peak and the main peak co-founded the Divine Will Sect, rather than the latter being subordinate to the former.
In other words, the two parties are partners, not in a superior-subordinate relationship.
When Zhang Haoran pursued Xiao Shuyan, Ding Hui was happy to see it happen.
But he never expected things to turn out this way.
Zhang Haoran would actually offend Xiao Shuyan for the sake of a man.
In this situation, Ding Hui became furious.
He took a deep breath and said, "There's no rush right now. First, we need to prepare for the Holy Land Grand Competition."
Nowadays, the Divine Will Sect is declining, and some mystics say this may be related to the sect's diminishing fortune.
Cultivators tend to believe in the theory of Qi and Luck.
Although fortune is ethereal and elusive, there is no other way to explain why the Divine Will Sect has declined.
But Ding Hui naturally wouldn't reveal such a thing.
The Holy Land Grand Competition is a competition that every Holy Land power must participate in. Its purpose is to examine the next generation of disciples of the Holy Land and thus assess the future of a Holy Land.
This competition was initially just a simple competition without any prizes.
However, in order to motivate the geniuses within some sects, many holy lands promise that if one comes out on top, one will receive a large reward.
In this way, the Holy Land's performance will look better to the outside world.
Afterwards, many sect leaders of holy lands probably thought they could make a fortune, so they set up betting odds in the holy land competition, which everyone could participate in.
The winners split everything.
Many people are quite enthusiastic about this.
Because it involves the participation of all citizens, the Holy Land Grand Competition has become a grand event in the hearts of the Holy Land disciples, and it has also become a signature event for the Holy Land's external publicity.
The reason people feel that the Divine Will Sect is declining is because the Divine Will Sect has not achieved good results in the Holy Land Grand Competition for fifty consecutive years.
This also explains why many geniuses are unwilling to join the Divine Will Sect.
As a result of this vicious cycle, the disciples of the Divine Will Sect have become worse with each generation.
This explains why everyone in the Divine Will Sect values Zhang Haoran so highly.
Zhang Haoran is still very young, and many people believe that he can lead the Divine Will Sect to reverse its decline.
Everything must give way to the Holy Land Grand Ceremony.
...
A month before the start of the Holy Land Grand Competition, the Divine Will Sect held another Inner Sect Grand Competition.
All inner disciples must participate and are not allowed to be absent without a valid reason.
For Xia Muge, this was a great opportunity.
Xia Muge has now broken through to the Spirit Master realm, and coupled with his almost unparalleled swordsmanship, he is full of pride and satisfaction.
This time, he believed he would display his extraordinary talent.
At that time, he will become Guo Yang's control group.
Just like the plot in the book.
However, in the story, Guo Yang gains strength without cultivation because of the "playing dumb" system, which contrasts with Guo Yang's diligent cultivation but little progress.
Now, the contrast is between Xia Muge, a genius who worked hard to cultivate and soared to great heights, and Guo Yang, who was just coasting and had no real strength.
Xia Muge even planned to immediately strip the Divine Will Sect of its attention to the Holy Son Zhang Haoran, and then direct all of Zhang Haoran's anger onto Guo Yang.
What will Guo Yang be able to do by then?
There's nothing he can do.
Thinking of this, Xia Muge began to look forward to the new inner sect competition.
This inner sect competition was an unprecedented event.
As an inner disciple, Guo Yang naturally had to participate as well.
Many people joked, "Although we don't know who will come in first place in this inner sect competition, we can at least be sure who will come in last."
"Ha ha ha ha."
Upon hearing this, many people burst into laughter.
Although many people fawn over Guo Yang for the sake of the Holy Son, it doesn't mean that everyone will accept Guo Yang.
In fact, because of Xiao Shuyan, many inner disciples are also targeting Guo Yang.
At this moment, Guo Yang's expression turned somewhat grim.
He took a deep breath and said, "So what if I'm last? I'm still an inner disciple."
Many people, seeing Guo Yang's smug face, couldn't help but want to punch him.
How could this person be so shameless?
However, Guo Yang was not wrong.
As long as the Holy Son continues to protect Guo Yang, his status as an inner disciple is as secure as Mount Tai.
In this situation, they are actually the ones who are superfluous.
Thinking about this, many people secretly grumbled.
A sect is like a small society, where everyone is striving for resources.
However, they did not know at the time that while they were vying for resources, one person was destined to become famous.
Soon, the inner sect competition that Xia Muge was participating in began.
