I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

Not only the Demon Lord Huo Tu on Canglan Island, but also other peak Great Grandmasters are known to reside there; the exact number, however, remains unknown.

Furthermore, it is unclear which forces these peak Great Grandmasters belong to.

In any case, the forces at play must undoubtedly be those affiliated with the Blackrobe individuals or those with the Demon Sect.

Whether a third force is involved remains unknown.

To Xu Yan, it does not matter which power these peak Great Grandmasters hail from.

Defeat them, and that’s it!

Just off Canglan Island, above the Cang River, are small boats floating. Each one is quite a distance away from Canglan Island, but to the powerful, this distance is trivial.

Aboard each of these small boats is a Grandmaster, all here to witness the battle.

The battle at Canglan Island, a major event that hasn’t occurred in the Inner Realm Martial Arts world for thousands of years, involves a suddenly rising unparalleled genius on one side and the notorious Demon Lord of the Demon Sect on the other.

Grandmasters found themselves disqualified from witnessing such a grand event.

On an older small boat, the Great Grandmaster Wushuang and Yun Miaomiao are present, along with two other Great Grandmasters who are their students.

All of them are powerful figures from the Wushuang Pavilion.

“The royal family of the Great Yue Kingdom has come as well,”

Great Grandmaster Wushuang gazed into the distance, spotting a small boat adorned with purple patterns and added.

As Yun Miaomiao squinted in their direction, she frowned, “Will the Great Yue Kingdom interfere?”

Canglan Island, located within the territory of the Great Yue Kingdom, technically fell under their jurisdiction. It used to be Yin Hong’s territory, but is now owned by Xu Yan.

However, in the Inner Domain, where might makes right, not even the Great Yue Kingdom would rashly contend against a Great Grandmaster by claiming territory.

Of course, a Great Grandmaster wouldn’t deny that the territory under their control belongs to the Great Yue Kingdom.

Both sides maintain a tacit understanding.

“It’s unclear whether the Great Yue Kingdom will target the Demon Lord Huo Tu or Xu Yan if they decide to step in,”

Great Grandmaster Wushuang shook his head.

On the boat of the Great Yue Kingdom, a young man waited, dressed in purple. As he gazed in the direction of Canglan Island, he claimed, “This island is publicly known as Yin Hong’s but in reality, it belongs to the palace. I’d like to see whether Xu Yan is qualified to own it.”

It’s the Second Prince of Great Yue Kingdom!

By his side, a middle-aged man, tall in stature with sharp eyes — a peak Great Grandmaster.

“Your Highness, shall I make a move?”

The middle-aged man asked.

“No need, just observe,”

The Second Prince replied.

Although he holds the distinguished title of a prince in the Great Yue Kingdom, the real power lies with the peak Great Grandmasters. The middle-aged man is tasked with protecting him and, beyond that, does not need to listen to any of his commands.

However, usually the protector, who is a peak Great Grandmaster, doesn’t completely ignore his orders. Rather, the prince simply cannot command the peak Great Grandmaster.

Generally, requests are made to invite the peak Great Grandmaster to take action.

This is the privilege of a peak Great Grandmaster. Even a mighty entity like the Great Yue Kingdom or someone as respected as a prince must accord them due respect.

On another small boat, Fu Yuntian quietly watched Canglan Island. Next to him, an old man sat engrossed in reading a book.

The old man, unkempt with messy hair, seemed devoted entirely to the book in his hand.

However, he was in fact a peak Great Grandmaster.

Among the many boats, one was made from precious materials used for forging treasures, making it exceedingly valuable.

That was the boat of the Tianbao Pavilion.

During such grand occasions, strong individuals from all major forces within the Inner Domain come forward.

Even the Yan Kingdom and the Purple Cloud Kingdom have their Grandmasters here to watch the battle.

Amid these, a weather-beaten wooden boat floated silently along the Cang River. A man was seated cross-legged on the bow, a black-sheathed longsword lying horizontally on his lap.

This scene on the old wooden boat didn’t draw the attention of those on the Cang River.

After all, those who gathered here were numerous, all Grandmasters, and not all sought the limelight.

Only strong individuals aboard the Tianbao Pavilion glanced at the boat and its occupant.

“Hu I lai of Sword Master Cliff has also come. Xu Yan and Xie Lingfeng are close, so is Hu Ilai planning to take action?”

“Even if Hu Hai steps into the fray, he can only block one person at most. Unless Xie Tianheng shows up…”

“It’s been a while since Xie Tianheng last appeared — it seems he’s in seclusion. If he is indeed here then, that Huo Tu would surely run for his life.”

As the strong individuals from the Tianbao Pavilion spoke, Xie Lingfeng and Hu Shan had already arrived at the boat.

“Father, is it just you here?”

Ilu Shan looked around before asking.

“Uncle Hai.”

Xie Lingfeng greeted.

“Hmm…”

Hu Hai opened his eyes, nodding his acknowledgement before turning his gaze towards Canglan Island, “There are at least three peak Great Grandmasters. If I intervene, I can block one; delaying two is possible, but it won’t be for long.” Xie Lingfeng exhaled sharply, “Considering Brother Xu dared to show up, it means he must be confident. There might not be a need for Uncle Hai to intervene.”

Hu Ilai, with a smile, said, “I’m curious too. What kind of unparalleled genius is he that even young master considers himself inferior?”

To this, Xie Lingfeng forced a smile and said, “Uncle Hai, how can I compare with Xu Yan’s freakish talent? If I can merely get started on Sword Dao in this lifetime, I’d consider it more than enough.”

Hu Hai, visibly displeased, responded, “Young master, what are you talking about? Even if your power is lesser than his, you can’t say you’ve yet to start with Sword Dao.”

Xie Lingfeng simply shook his head and
