Chapter 1799: Son of Yuan Shi
The Guardians Guild had demanded that Xiang Shaoyun explain himself regarding the accusation that he was colluding with the aliens and the devils. However, the demand had been completely ignored.
Because of that, the Guardians Guild grew more and more unhappy with Xiang Shaoyun. They were even prepared to remove his candidacy for the young guild master position.
If Xiang Shaoyun was disqualified, only Qin Jiu, Dugu Qiubai, and Gongsun Sanyang would be left competing for the position. However, the former two had the advantage as they were still keeping watch outside the dominion even now.
They had a period of 100 years to compete for the position, and only a third of that period had passed. They still had quite a while to compete for the position.
In the Divine Hall of the Guardians Guild, Qin Hongyan, Gongsun Yingxiong, and the guild\'s other higher-ups had gathered. Even a few old monsters who had not been seen for many years had joined the gathering.
After all, removing Xiang Shaoyun\'s candidacy was not something they could do easily since Xiang Shaoyun was Ge Yi\'s disciple. After Ge Yi had removed eight Nine Revolutions Realm experts from the outside domain battlefield, nobody knew what had happened to Ge Yi. But regardless of whether he was dead or alive, he still had a unique influence in the Guardians Guild. That influence came not only from his status as the deputy guild master but also because he was Venerable Yuan Shi\'s disciple.
Even after so many years, everyone still believed that Venerable Yuan Shi was still alive. After all, he was an unequaled expert at the Reincarnation Realm. Someone like that wouldn\'t die so easily. What if Venerable Yuan Shi suddenly returned? After a discussion between the big shots and the finalization of the two deputies, they unanimously decided to remove Xiang Shaoyun\'s candidacy.
They had listed two reasons for their decision. Firstly, Xiang Shaoyun had returned from the outside domain battlefield before 100 years had passed. Secondly, it did not matter if he was a devil. There was no doubt that the devils had visited him twice. From that, it was obvious he had a rather deep relationship with the devils. Someone like him couldn\'t be the young guild master.
Right as they were about to announce their decision, someone charged into the hall fearlessly. The Divine Hall of the Guardians Guild was a place not even a powerhouse like the Celestial Alliance\'s master could enter as he wished.
The hall was surrounded by powerful seals and formations. Any intruder would be mercilessly attacked. Few people could survive such an assault. If the Guardians Guild couldn\'t even protect their main hall, they might as well cease existing. However, the newcomer had actually charged inside without even announcing his arrival. It was obvious he was not a nobody.
"Who are you? You dare intrude upon the Divine Hall?" berated one of them, a God Realm expert.
The others also focused on the intruder. With one command, they would slaughter him. However, Qin Hongyan and Gongsun Yingxiong, who were seated in the main seats, stood up with complicated expressions on their faces. The old monsters seated beside them had the same complicated expression. Clearly, they all knew the newcomer.
"Hehe, looks like everyone is here. I arrived in time, it seems," said the man as an indifferent smile formed on his handsome face.
The man showed no fear toward all of them. Rather, he acted like this was his home. Those who did not know him finally realized something, and they all hurriedly shut their mouths.
"Today must be an auspicious day for you to finally return, nephew! This is worthy of celebration," said Qin Hongyan with a smile.
Gongsun Yingxiong loudly said, "You little bastard. Where have you been all these years? How callous can you be?"
The man before them was Wu Xie, Venerable Yuan Shi\'s son. That was a secret few knew, but people like Qin Hongyan and Gongsun Yingxiong were naturally privy to that secret.
Once, this was the man most qualified to become the new guild master. Unfortunately, he had given up the position, resulting in the current situation where there were three deputies and no guild master. Seeing that Wu Xie had returned, they all started guessing if he was back to fight for the guild master position.
But based on their years of observation, Wu Xie was someone who cared not about the world and spent more time drunk than awake. He was never someone who longed for power.
Looking at the men who once fought alongside his father, Wu Xie said, "Deputies, I heard that you\'re going to disqualify Xiang Shaoyun\'s candidacy?"
"Yes. He\'s not suited for the position," said Qin Hongyan. He had not imagined that this would be why Wu Xie was here, and he gave a straightforward reply.
"That\'s right. He has the blood of devils in him. No matter how much contribution he has made, we can\'t hand over the burden of humanity to him," said Gongsun Yingxiong.
The two were surprisingly united in this matter.
"It\'s really rare to see the both of you agreeing with each other," said Wu Xie. His expression turned solemn as he said, "What if I think he\'s suited for the position?"
Everyone heard him, and they all appeared unhappy, especially those who didn\'t know Wu Xie. They had guessed that this newcomer was probably rather close to the two deputies, but this was not a place he could be running around making his demands.
"The Guardians Guild\'s main responsibility is to protect the dominion. The two deputies will not change their decision," someone stood up and said.
Encouraged, someone else said, "Whoever you are, this is the Guardians Guild\'s decision. Someone like you is not allowed to exceed your station and challenge the decision."
"That\'s right. We have come to a decision in this matter. We are going to send investigators to find out if he\'s really colluding with the devils. If that is proven to be the case, we will eliminate the Ziling Sect!" said someone else.
Gongsun Yingxiong stopped everyone and said, "Nephew, if you\'re willing to return, we will be willing to let you be the young guild master. What do you think?"
His words stunned everyone. They started wondering who exactly the newcomer was. Qin Hongyan did not say anything. He naturally didn\'t wish for Wu Xie to return because it would make all his arrangements over the years go to waste.
"I\'ll ask you one more time. Are you really going to disqualify Xiang Shaoyun?" asked Wu Xie.
Qin Hongyan and Gongsun Yingxiong sank into silence. The answer was clear.
"Looks like I, the son of Yuan Shi, am truly a much smaller deal than I thought. Hahaha!" Wu Xie howled with laughter before vanishing before everyone\'s stupefied gaze.
