High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late

Chapter 586 - 407: Etching a Name on the Sword Monument, Suspicions and Killing Intent! (Part 2)

"What a beautiful woman, is that person also from the Ye Family?" At this moment, someone noticed Huangfu Xue beside Ye Jian.

"She shouldn’t be from the Ye Family, she’s probably from the Huangfu Family. There were rumors before that Ye Jian was going to marry a woman from the Huangfu Family, and that woman is said to be a cousin of Huangfu Tian."

"Huangfu Tian’s cousin?!"

Feeling the envious gazes from everyone, Ye Jian’s heart was filled with even more joy. The woman, seen as a stunning beauty by everyone and Huangfu Tian’s cousin, was merely Ye Jian’s woman, soon to be conquered by him.

"Seventh Uncle."

At this point, Ye Jian looked at the elder guarding Junlin Pavilion and softly called out.

The elder from the Ye Family quickly stepped forward with a very respectful attitude, as if Ye Jian was the elder.

Seeing this scene, the people’s envious gazes increased, but this scene didn’t last long.

In the next second.

The crowd erupted, like a pot of water brought to a boil.

"Quick, look at the Sword Monument, the name is changing, that person is about to come out!"

"Who could it be?"

Instantly, everyone withdrew their gazes and held their breath, noticing this, a fleeting murderous intent flashed in Ye Jian’s eyes.

"Damn it!"

Ye Jian snorted coldly and looked at the Sword Monument with a venomous gaze.

Soon, someone discovered that the Sword Monument was not changing a single name, but the whole monument was changing.

"Look, even Huangfu Tian’s name is moving down, that person is about to reach the top of the Sword Monument!"

A statement like a thunderclap fell.

Everyone’s eyes widened, and they saw eight names on the Sword Monument moving down one line, and at the top above the spot left by Huangfu Tian, a brand new name slowly appeared in the blank space.

"The name is about to appear, what could it be?"

"From the Ye or Gu families, a Martial Saint heir? Or a disciple of other top forces..."

But everyone guessed wrong.

Amidst all the attention, a character slowly appeared.

"Wu?"

"It’s actually the character Wu? Is there someone with the surname Wu among the top forces?"

"I fear this is not the person’s surname, to dare leave the name Wu directly, what an arrogant and proud nature, in my view, this person doesn’t yield much to the character Tian left by Huangfu Tian, possibly even exceeding it!"

An old man in the crowd voiced his guess, and immediately many agreed, thinking it made sense, thus looking towards Junlin Pavilion with even greater anticipation.

Soon, the wind and clouds changed color, and the golden giant in the sky bowed.

Junlin Pavilion shimmered brilliantly, revealing a handsome, tall, and burly man in the golden light.

As the man appeared, clouds and mist surged in the sky, and the golden giant stepped on the earth and bowed its head.

At the same time, Divine Apes, Flood Dragons, and Ice Phoenixes formed by the Power of Time roared, then merged completely.

This scene was immensely shocking, the golden giant bowing, and the terrifying vision of three absolute Fierce Beasts welcoming unheard of, left Junlin Pavilion in complete silence, everyone’s pupils contracted sharply, their mind a blank.

Su Mu calmly glanced at the crowd outside Junlin Pavilion, then his gaze fell on a certain figure in the center of the crowd.

In the center of the crowd, even Huangfu Xue was momentarily stunned.

Her eyes unmistakably revealed surprise, shock, and anticipation, the events truly aligned too perfectly, for it was indeed Su Mu within Junlin Pavilion!

And, Huangfu Xue had thought Su Mu was a Martial Arts Demon but never imagined he would reach such an earth-shattering level.

"Haha, it turns out it’s really you, you truly are a Rule Breaker!"

Rule Breaker.

Su Mu slightly paused; it had been a long time since anyone mentioned this title to him.

"Xue’Er, you know him?"

Noticing the joyful smile on Huangfu Xue’s face, Ye Jian’s voice turned deeper, his face showing a cold smile.

"He’s my friend, Su Mu."

"Hmph, Su Mu? Never heard of him, your Grandmaster’s Force Field during entry wasn’t steady. Given your strength, it’s truly puzzling how you passed the Eighth Floor of Junlin Pavilion, though I don’t know what means you employed to pass the Eighth Floor, external force is still merely external."

Hearing this, the crowd rumbled.

"So this person relied on external force to pass the Eighth Floor?"

"No wonder, he must’ve used similar methods before to break through several floors, right?"

"Can’t be, how could Junlin Pavilion allow external force?!"

"Why not, didn’t you see the Celestial Pride of the First Saint Martial University also stopped at the third floor not long ago, and this person’s Grandmaster’s Force Field isn’t stable, indicating he’s only just broken through to Grandmaster, even if stronger than that Celestial Pride, there should not be such a vast difference!"

"And think carefully, those who left their name on the Sword Monument, who among them had just broken through to Grandmaster when they stepped in?"

"Seems so, even Huangfu Tian started challenging the floors years after advancing to Grandmaster, and many named here began after becoming Titled Grandmasters. Su Mu just stepped into Grandmaster, yet can pass eight floors and trigger such phenomena, truly unfathomable."

For a moment, many were hesitant because this was a doubt raised first by Ye Jian.

"Impossible, he would never cheat, I trust him!"

At that moment, someone in the crowd spoke firmly in support of Su Mu, and everyone turned to see, surprisingly it was the woman who came with Ye Jian.

Watching Huangfu Xue speak up for Su Mu, Ye Jian’s eyes almost spurted fire.

"Hmph, underhanded methods, whether it’s true or not you naturally know."

"I, Ye Jian, will show you what true strength is, without external help, I, Ye Jian, can step foot on the Eighth Floor!"

After speaking, a massive and terrifying aura suddenly burst from Ye Jian, and in an instant, everyone felt as if they were amidst surging waves, with life and death seemingly at Ye Jian’s whim.

"What a powerful aura!"

"So terrifying, this is absolutely not an aura that an ordinary Grandmaster can release!"

Everyone expressed astonishment, and the elder from the Ye Family revealed horror, "Titled, this is the aura of a Titled Grandmaster, incredible, incredible indeed, Ye Jian you’ve actually ascended to Titled Grandmaster!"

The elder’s statement was nothing short of shocking.

People parted ways, Ye Jian cast a cold glance at Su Mu, then brushed past him and headed towards Junlin Pavilion.

Su Mu’s eyes slightly narrowed, a hint of surprise and murderous intent flickered.

It wasn’t out of anger that, at this moment, within Su Mu’s Sea of Consciousness, the Diamond Human Form slowly opened its eyes. The moment Ye Jian released his aura, Su Mu felt a familiar aura from him.

"Ye Jian... the Ye Family?"

Su Mu mused inwardly, feeling somewhat grave yet seemed as if contemplating something.

Ye Jian stepped forward before Junlin Pavilion.

Yet a strange scene unfolded, as Junlin Pavilion showed no reaction.

This moment made Su Mu snap back to awareness, knowing he alone understood the reason: Junlin Pavilion was in a period of dormancy.

However, as the current master of Junlin Pavilion, letting someone in was simple.

With a thought, the nine-layered small tower within Su Mu’s Sea of Consciousness shimmered, then Junlin Pavilion stirred, and the Power of Time condensed into a portal.

Ye Jian turned his head to glance disdainfully, then stepped in with great strides.

Within Junlin Pavilion.

The Sea of Time surged, the Power of Time was violent, and then a massive whirlpool of reversed time appeared, and soon a figure emerged from it.

As the Shadow of Time formed.

Ye Jian’s pupils involuntarily contracted, showing a trace of incredulous expression.

Because the figure before him was not the shadow of an ancestor from the Ye Family.

But a strange and unfamiliar figure.
