The news that Xia Muge had won first place in the Holy Land Competition was naturally transmitted back to the Divine Will Sect through special means.
The people of the Divine Will Sect were greatly alarmed.
Great surprise turned into great joy.
They naturally knew how great the glory of being number one in this holy land competition was. And this matter inevitably spread within the Divine Will Sect.
The Divine Will Sect has tens of thousands of disciples, who naturally discussed it among themselves, and then were overjoyed.
Winning the Holy Land competition is, put aside everything else, a very prestigious thing.
From now on, when we meet people from other holy sites, we can hold our heads high.
Of course, they also knew that Xia Muge's victory didn't actually bring much benefit to the Divine Will Sect. But for now, that was enough.
However, while some people are happy, others are not so happy.
Zhang Haoran was naturally the most unhappy.
Xia Muge's sudden rise to power actually means that his position as the Holy Son is not worthy of the title.
Most importantly, Zhang Haoran sensed that many inner disciples were behaving strangely towards him.
Although these people's attitudes remained as submissive as they appeared, Zhang Haoran could sense that they had become distant.
It's normal to distance myself from him.
It's because even though he's now a Holy Son, his talent isn't as good as Xia Muge's.
The Divine Will Sect is capable of nurturing two geniuses, but that doesn't mean it can accept two holy sons.
To be honest, Zhang Haoran's position as the Holy Son is no longer secure.
"Hehe, I don't have a headcount yet."
He spoke with a ruthless heart.
Even if Xia Muge is a genius, so what? He has to survive first.
...
The matter of the Holy Land Grand Competition is not only of concern to those within the Divine Will Sect.
Other sects outside the Holy Land, as well as many countries in the human world, are paying attention to this matter.
Xia Muge naturally became famous among this group of people.
After all, the Holy Land is now the most difficult force in the world to offend.
This news inevitably reached the ears of the demons as well.
Even the human race probably didn't expect that, of the seventeen kingdoms in the world today, the royal families of thirteen kingdoms have become puppets and lackeys of the demon race.
The demons are now paying attention to the Holy Land Grand Competition, naturally wanting to know the names of the geniuses from the Holy Land.
The demon race was once defeated by the human race, after which they began to recuperate and devised a plan to 'eliminate geniuses'.
For the demon race, exchanging the lives of a hundred mediocre people for the life of one genius is worthwhile.
"Xia Muge, a genius of the Divine Will Sect."
But then she saw a hint of contempt in the eyes of Li Qinghuan, the Holy Maiden of the Demon Clan: "Find a way to get rid of him."
"Yes, Holy Maiden."
Many demons are now beginning to act in secret.
These demons controlled the nobles and princes, causing them to constantly inquire about Xia Muge.
After hearing about this, Zhang Haoran wanted to create an opportunity for the demons to kill Xia Muge.
It's fair to say that Zhang Haoran now only wants to kill Xia Muge, and he's barely even paying attention to Guo Yang anymore.
Xia Muge naturally guessed his thoughts.
"Muge, don't go out during this time. Even if you do go out, be careful."
Qin Wanning looked at Xia Muge with worry in her eyes: "I have news that many people are inquiring about your whereabouts, and these people may be in cahoots with the demons who attacked Zhang Haoran."
She naturally has her own sources of information.
This channel was originally intended to be established by her to solve her health problems.
But now, it's mostly used to solve problems related to Xia Muge.
Under these circumstances, she naturally received a lot of news that was detrimental to Xia Muge.
Xia Muge smiled and said, "Staying home is useless."
"How could it not work?" Qin Wanning immediately became anxious.
Xia Muge countered with, "If I don't go out, what if someone threatens me with my life?"
Qin Wanning was immediately taken aback.
She really wanted to say that if someone used her to threaten Xia Muge, then Xia Muge could choose not to save her.
But she couldn't bring herself to say it.
Qin Wanning admitted that she still harbored a longing in her heart.
She said reluctantly, "Then I won't go out at all."
"But what if someone within the sect forces you to go out?"
Qin Wanning was just an ordinary disciple.
Even if she is Xia Muge's partner, it doesn't mean anything.
Xia Muge is not yet the Holy Son.
She was about to say that she definitely wouldn't go out, but then she suddenly understood what Xia Muge meant.
Right now, the person who most wants Xia Muge dead is none other than Zhang Haoran.
With such a holy son plotting against him, simply hiding is useless.
Moreover, Xia Muge had no intention of avoiding it.
What he wanted was to make Zhang Haoran utterly despair in a fair and square manner.
After his despair, Zhang Haoran would inevitably vent his frustration and other negative emotions on Guo Yang.
Let these two torture each other. After all, Zhang Haoran is a villain, isn't he?
Therefore, there is only one way to make Zhang Haoran despair: tell him that no matter what means are used, it will be useless.
At times like this, Zhang Haoran would naturally break down on his own.
He looked at Qin Wanning and said with a smile, "Do you believe me?"
Qin Wanning smiled and said, "If I don't believe you, what else can I believe?"
For Qin Wanning, Xia Muge was actually a benefactor who gave her a second chance at life.
In a world where strength reigns supreme, restoring her talent is tantamount to giving her a second life, so it is a life-saving grace.
She asked Xia Muge, "Have you thought of a solution?"
Don't worry.
Xia Muge nodded, indicating that he understood everything.
...
When Zhang Haoran heard the news that Xia Muge had left the sect, he couldn't help but show a hint of joy.
He took a deep breath and decided to follow, and then witness Xia Muge's death with his own eyes.
After all, a person like that can't find peace of mind if he doesn't die.
Based on intelligence from his subordinates, he arrived at Tianlan City, where Xia Muge had gone.
This city was also the city where the demonic cultivators attacked him and Guo Yang.
This time, he didn't think Xia Muge could escape.
Xia Muge noticed that Zhang Haoran had followed them when they were already in Tianlan City.
At this moment, he noticed that many demonic cultivators were already around.
The city's residents seemed to sense something was amiss and quickly closed their doors.
"You're really bold. Knowing we're trying to capture you, you still showed up. Are you trying to provoke the demons?"
A demonic cultivator appeared before Xia Muge.
A hint of sarcasm played at the corners of his mouth.
Xia Muge said calmly, "We'll have to face each other sooner or later, won't we?"
The Divine Will Sect could not protect him. Even now, though he had won honors and rewards, his status had not improved. Clearly, some of the higher-ups within the Divine Will Sect actually wanted him dead.
