Ao Tian wasn’t lying. 

The True Dragon Clan was truly not afraid of a Great Sword Immortal. A Great Sword Immortal would be a bit tricky to handle, but they were not invincible. The True Dragon Clan was perfectly capable of fighting a Great Sword Immortal. 

After all, the True Dragon Clan was a branch of the Main Guanxuan Academy’s Ancient Heavenly Dragon Clan, so they had a rather powerful background.

Chen Diao went silent, seemingly in deep contemplation. 

According to the Immortal Treasures Pavilion’s investigation, there was a high chance that Ye Guan’s backer wasn’t an ordinary Great Sword Immortal. 

The Immortal Treasures Pavilion’s intelligence network was comparable to that of the Guanxuan Academy’s intelligence network. The fact that they had no clue about Ye Guan’s backer meant that things were more complicated than they seemed.

Ao Tian suddenly said, “Manager Chen, I’ve heard you’ve reached a bottleneck in your cultivation. Perhaps you will find it useful.”

Ao Tian flipped his palm open, revealing a gold internal pill the size of a thumb. 

Chen Diao’s pupils constricted at the sight. A Dragon pill! 

Chen Diao went silent. He remained silent for a long time before he decided to accept the pill. 

“Clan Leader Ao Tian, please give me a few moments,” he said before leaving.

Ao Tian closed his eyes and waited for Chen Diao’s return.

Meanwhile, Chen Diao soon found himself in a secret chamber. He took out a scroll and wrote two characters—Ye Guan.

An individual clad in black appeared in front of Chen Diao. 

Chen Diao passed the scroll over to them.

The individual clad in black asked, “Why do you want to investigate him?”

“It’s confidential,”...
