Once someone starts committing domestic violence against their partner, it means that there will be countless more instances of domestic violence.
Although Guo Yang and Zhang Haoran are not a couple, they are still very close.
Or rather, Guo Yang cannot escape Zhang Haoran's grasp.
This should make it easy to understand that although Zhang Haoran's status as a Holy Son was threatened at this time, he was still a Holy Son.
Even if his status isn't as high as before, it's still not something Guo Yang can easily exploit.
When Zhang Haoran saw Guo Yang begin cultivating, he felt resentful.
What does he need to do with his cultivation?
Is it to get rid of him?
In this situation, Zhang Haoran felt a surge of anger building up inside him.
He didn't think about where his anger came from; he only felt that Guo Yang was doing this to break free from his control.
Zhang Haoran dared not imagine the consequences.
In fact, his relationship with Guo Yang was not necessarily that close.
However, he gained emotional value from Guo Yang, so he was reluctant to let Guo Yang leave.
In Zhang Haoran's mind, Guo Yang was just a dog by his side.
If this dog also leaves, wouldn't that mean that he, as the Holy Son, has no influence whatsoever?
Therefore, he came up with a vicious plan: to hinder Guo Yang's cultivation and to find a way to destroy Guo Yang's spiritual root.
As long as he doesn't have spiritual roots, then Guo Yang will be his only follower.
Even if you don't like Guo Yang in the future, you can just ignore him or give him some compensation.
He didn't need to care whether Guo Yang lived or died.
Zhang Haoran had this idea and felt that this was the right thing to do.
Only by doing this can Guo Yang become his follower.
At this moment, Guo Yang was unaware of Zhang Haoran's thoughts, but he was secretly lamenting his predicament.
After his cultivation was disturbed, he noticed that Zhang Haoran's temper was becoming increasingly irritable.
No matter what he was about to do, Zhang Haoran would stare at him with his eyes, making him so scared that he couldn't do anything right.
If he wanted to cultivate, Zhang Haoran would find an excuse to take him out.
If he refuses, Zhang Haoran will get angry.
Guo Yang naturally dared not provoke Zhang Haoran.
Otherwise, all his current preferential treatment will be taken back.
He could only comfort himself: "There's no rush to cultivate. Anyway, I have the system with me, so it doesn't matter if I rest for another year."
Anyway, he has the system, so it's too easy for him to surpass others.
Guo Yang's current lack of strength is only because he doesn't want to cultivate, not because he's incapable of it.
However, he did not know that he would soon lose the opportunity to cultivate.
...
During this period, the inner sect of the Divine Will Sect remained relatively calm.
After Xia Muge and Qin Wanning became Daoist partners, they did not indulge in pleasure or engage in such acts.
On the contrary, Qin Wanning continued to study alchemy techniques and provide Xia Muge with elixirs.
Xia Muge lived up to expectations and finally improved his cultivation level, becoming a true Spirit Venerable.
Feeling his body growing stronger and stronger, and observing the protagonist's luck decreasing, Xia Muge suddenly felt that it was only a matter of time before this world returned to normal.
Just like Xia Muge in the third post-apocalyptic world, even if the protagonist has unlimited resources, loneliness can kill him directly.
The same applies to Guo Yang now. Even with a nearly invincible system, he can still use his personality to crush him.
Thinking of this, Xia Muge felt a surge of joy.
He subsequently survived several assassination attempts.
Some of those who wanted to assassinate him were demons, while others were planted by others.
Perhaps it's another holy site, or perhaps it's one of our own.
However, with his spatial abilities at his disposal, he could easily evade assassination attempts and successfully counterattack.
Unless a Spirit Emperor-level expert personally wants to kill him, but can someone who has become a Spirit Emperor be commanded by others?
In short, Xia Muge is safe for now.
The inner sect of the Divine Will Sect was relatively calm, but the outside was quite turbulent.
It's mainly because of Zhang Haoran and Guo Yang.
Perhaps because he didn't want to be compared to Xia Muge, Zhang Haoran took Guo Yang and left the inner sect.
Ostensibly, it's a place for cultivation and experience.
In fact, he just didn't want to go back to the inner sect and hear news that made his chest feel suffocated.
However, related gossip still circulated within the Divine Will Sect.
The reason was that Zhang Haoran was mocked by people from other holy lands outside, and as a result, he fought with them, resulting in mutual destruction.
That person injured his internal organs, and Zhang Haoran also injured his spiritual root, which may affect his future cultivation.
This shocked Ding Hui, the sect leader of the Divine Will Sect, who wanted to demand an explanation.
Many people were thinking: Zhang Haoran's spiritual root was damaged. If it cannot be cured, does that mean that this holy son cannot be saved?
Many people even speculated with conspiracy theories: Could it be that Xia Muge did this?
Xia Muge could only say that he was wronged.
He didn't know why this was happening either.
After all, the risk of being discovered harming fellow disciples would be too high, so he would never do such a thing.
Zhang Haoran's affair was the talk of the inner sect, and Xia Muge was also notified to go see Sect Master Ding Hui.
When Ding Hui looked at Xia Muge, his feelings were somewhat complicated.
As the sect leader, the selection of a successor is naturally of paramount importance to him.
However, since Zhang Haoran had this accident, he had no choice but to choose someone else to inherit the position of the Divine Will Sect.
However, Xia Muge was not a good successor.
He has only been with the Divine Will Sect for a short time; even his loyalty has not yet been proven.
But now...
He asked Xia Muge, "I have a question for you, and you will answer truthfully."
What are your thoughts on the Divine Will Sect?
Ye Ge asked instinctively, "Is this something I can say?"
This remark left Ding Hui speechless for a moment, then he burst into laughter: "You're quite quick-witted, aren't you?"
“I’ve heard your name many times and I know you come from the outer sect. There have been a lot of rumors lately, so don’t think too much about it for now.”
At this time, he had not yet decided whether to hand over the position of Holy Son to Xia Muge.
What if Zhang Haoran recovers?
What if there are other people involved?
However, we still need to offer some incentives.
He said, "You won first place in the last Holy Land Competition, which brought honor to the sect. This is my reward to you in the name of the sect leader: the spirit weapon Yuanhong."
"I'll leave this to you."
This is a top-grade spiritual artifact, so Xia Muge naturally wouldn't refuse it.
He said, "Thank you, Sect Master!"
"No need to be so polite. You are also a disciple of the sect. In the future, you should unite and be friendly with your fellow disciples and serve the sect. That's how you repay us for all the training we've given you."
The goodwill he showed was enough for Xia Muge to feel.
Xia Muge said earnestly, "Yes, I will."
After he left, news of Xia Muge being summoned by the sect leader spread like wildfire throughout the inner sect.
