Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 146: Two Guardians?

The Dragon Concealment Spirit Vein was bustling with activity. An unparalleled genius named Song Tiange had arrived, and he was no ordinary person. As the disciple of the Star Pavilion Master and the junior brother of Chu Zhongtian, his status was incredibly high.

Moreover, he brought news that he was about to become the Guardian of the Dragon Concealment Spirit Vein. If that was the case, he would become the king of this Spirit Vein, able to control everything. The local Martial Artists all had to curry favor with him, so they respectfully invited Song Tiange inside. Following his instructions, they immediately began preparations to construct palaces and pavilions nearby for him to live in.

「A few days later.」

A thunderous roar echoed from the distance, causing the Martial Artists within the Spirit Vein to look up. What happened? They discovered a war chariot flying over from afar, adorned with countless moons. Wherever it passed, it showered down shimmering moonlight.

The crowd was stunned for a moment before an elder exclaimed, "That’s the Wangyue Chariot!"

Only a major figure from the Wangyue Pavilion could ride such a chariot. Could it be the Wangyue Pavilion Master? Or perhaps one of their Grandmasters? I wonder what they’re doing here.

Song Tiange also looked up, frowning at the sight. What are people from the Wangyue Pavilion doing here? He had no love for the Wangyue Pavilion, mainly because Lin Xuan was one of them. Hmph, no matter what they want, I’ll just drive them away. This is my territory now. If I tell them to get lost, they have to get lost.

As he mulled this over, the chariot in the sky began to slow. Inside, Lin Xuan was accompanied by several elders from the Wangyue Pavilion. One of them stood up and smiled at Lin Xuan. "Lord Guardian, we have arrived at the Dragon Concealment Spirit Vein."

Although Lin Xuan was only a teenager and a first-year disciple, these elders dared not treat him lightly. In fact, their words were laced with flattery. They had no choice; Lin Xuan was not only a Guardian but also a Core Disciple. More importantly, his future was limitless! Naturally, they wouldn’t dare to neglect him.

Lin Xuan opened his eyes and looked outside, surprised. Oh, we’re here already? In that case, let’s descend. He couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement.

Under an elder’s control, the chariot slowly descended, finally landing on the ground. The door then opened, and several elders stepped out, arranging themselves respectfully on either side.

The Martial Artists of the Spirit Vein were even more shocked by this scene. Those elders were all Grandmaster-level experts, yet they acted with such reverence. The person inside must be an even greater figure, a supreme Grandmaster! I wonder which one it is, and what is their business here?

As they were wondering, another figure emerged from the chariot. Everyone quickly looked up, but what they saw left them dumbfounded. It wasn’t a supreme Grandmaster as they had imagined, but a young man of only sixteen or seventeen. What’s going on? Who is this person? So young, yet he commands such a grand reception? At that moment, countless questions swirled through the minds of the onlookers.

Soon, an elder from the Spirit Vein approached. He was a smiling, white-robed man with a full head of white hair. He came before Lin Xuan and said, "I am Gu Yun, the one currently in charge of the Dragon Concealment Spirit Vein. May I ask your name, young sir?"

Although Lin Xuan had been to Dragon Concealment twice before, he had been a mere junior disciple and would never have caught an elder’s attention. Thus, Elder Gu naturally didn’t recognize him.

Lin Xuan smiled. "My name is Lin Xuan. I am the Guardian of the Dragon Concealment Spirit Vein, and I have come on official orders to assume my post."

Elder Gu was dumbfounded. The other Martial Artists were similarly stunned, their faces masks of shock. This young man is the Guardian? Then what about Song Tiange, who arrived earlier? Wasn’t he also the Guardian? How can there be two Guardians? For a moment, everyone was frozen in disbelief.

The elders who had accompanied Lin Xuan from the Wangyue Pavilion frowned at this sight. What is going on? Why aren’t these people coming to pay their respects to the Lord Guardian? How rude! One of them snorted, his voice booming like thunder, "The Lord Guardian has arrived! Why do you not come forward and pay your respects!"

The voice was like a clap of thunder, making the blood of those nearby churn. Even the Martial Artists mining Spirit Stones deeper inside the Vein heard the resonant shout and were bewildered. What’s going on? Didn’t the Lord Guardian already arrive? Isn’t the Lord Guardian Song Tiange? How could another one show up?

Elsewhere, Song Tiange also heard the roar, and his face darkened. Who dares to impersonate the Guardian? Such audacity! Do they have a death wish? He didn’t go out himself, but instead instructed a man beside him, "Go and see what’s happening."

A bald-headed elder’s expression soured. He strode out of the palace and bellowed, "Who dares to impersonate the Guardian? Do you have a death wish?"

The power radiating from his body was like a vast ocean, sweeping in all directions. Soon, he locked his gaze on Lin Xuan in the distance. "It’s you!"

He naturally recognized Lin Xuan, the enemy of the entire Star Pavilion. Lin Xuan had first crippled over twenty of their disciples and later crippled Mo Fan. He even had the gall to challenge their unparalleled genius, Chu Zhongtian. These acts had made the Star Pavilion utterly furious. He never thought the man would dare to come to the Dragon Concealment Spirit Vein and cause trouble.

He strode forward until he was right in front of Lin Xuan and said coldly, "Kid, are you the one impersonating the Guardian? You’re courting death. Kneel."

He then struck with his palm, attempting to kill Lin Xuan. The Bald Elder was incredibly excited; this was the perfect chance to kill Lin Xuan!

However, the long-haired elder beside Lin Xuan moved in a flash, intercepting the blow.

Lin Xuan frowned and said coldly, "Impersonating? How ridiculous. I was appointed Guardian by the Heavenly Dao Institute. Where does this talk of impersonation come from?"

"You’re the Guardian?" the Bald Elder sneered. "Stop bluffing. How could you possibly be the Guardian? The Guardian is Young Master Song Tiange!" In his mind, Lin Xuan was definitely lying. He knew the Star Pavilion Master had also vied for the position. With the Star Pavilion’s status, they were sure to secure it. Therefore, Lin Xuan couldn’t possibly be the Guardian.

Lin Xuan’s brows furrowed. Song Tiange? Who the hell does he think he is?

"That Song Tiange is truly reckless, daring to impersonate a Guardian," Lin Xuan declared coldly. "I can execute him on the spot. Tell him to get over here and face his death."

"How dare you! Insolent!" the Bald Elder roared in fury. "You dare disrespect Young Master Song!"

He moved to attack again, but the experts Lin Xuan had brought were numerous. The two sides squared off in a tense standoff, on the verge of an all-out brawl.

At this moment, Elder Gu stepped forward again. "Gentlemen, please stay your hands and listen to me," he said. "I have a way to determine who is the real Guardian."
