Dongli Chen truly feared no Ye Guan. The Undying Imperial Clan had confidence.
This confidence came from the Human Sword Master.
Who did not know that the one behind the Undying Imperial Clan was the Human Sword Master?
Therefore, although the Great Sword Sovereign behind Ye Guan had displayed extremely terrifying strength, the Undying Imperial Clan remained unafraid.
Had she not said it herself?
If the Human Sword Master struck her, she would not even dare to fight back.
In the present day, that woman was very strong, but thirty million years ago, she was probably just a little brother.
Hearing Dongli Chen’s words, Ye Guan’s eyes narrowed. The sword pressed against Dongli Mo’s throat suddenly began sliding left and right.
Hiss!
A streak of blood instantly sprayed out.
Dongli Mo’s eyes widened in shock. A trace of fear rose in his heart.
Who could truly remain calm in the face of death? He had thought he could, but when death truly arrived, he still felt fear.
Especially since Ye Guan did not end him with one swift strike, but took it slowly, bit by bit.
Many times, death itself was not frightening. What was frightening was the process of waiting for death.
“Stop!”
Seeing this, Dongli Chen was horrified and shouted immediately. Dongli Mo was the most monstrous genius of the current Undying Imperial Clan. If he died here, the loss to the clan would be immense.
Ye Guan paused. He stared at Dongli Chen but said nothing.
How could Dongli Chen not understand Ye Guan’s meaning? His face instantly turned extremely grim. “Ye Guan, do you truly intend to bully my Undying Imperial Clan?”
Ye Guan said ferociously, “Is it I who bully your Undying Imperial Clan, or your Undying Imperial Clan that bullies me? Your clan’s genius youth joined forces with the An family to target me. Have you forgotten that? Huh?”
Dongli Chen glared fiercely at Ye Guan. “But you did not die, did you?”
Little Tower: “…”
At these words, a chilling murderous intent flashed in Ye Guan’s eyes. In the next moment, he exerted force with his right hand.
Hiss!
In an instant, Dongli Mo’s head flew off, blood spraying several metres away.
“How dare you!”
Dongli Chen’s eyes nearly burst with rage. He had not expected this man to truly disregard the Undying Imperial Clan, to disregard the Human Sword Master.
Utter audacity.
In his fury, there was also terror.
Because Dongli Mo had actually been killed.
This was the finest talent of the current Undying Imperial Clan.
Just like that, gone?
Ye Guan turned to Dongli Chen. Dongli Chen’s face changed dramatically. In this moment, he too sensed the aura of death.
He was going to kill him.
Dongli Chen stared at Ye Guan, his expression utterly dark. “Ye Guan, this is the Undying Imperial Clan.”
“Idiot!”
Ye Guan suddenly roared in anger. “Damn it, I even dared to kill people from the An family and the Heavenly Dao itself. Do you think I fear your Undying Imperial Clan? If you had simply lent me the sword, I would have spared your clan’s genius youth. We would be even. Would that not be better? Yet you still threaten me here. With your intelligence, I am genuinely worried for you.”
At these words, the many powerhouses of the Undying Imperial Clan all turned to look at Dongli Chen, displeasure in their eyes.
As Ye Guan had said, since this Ye Guan dared to come here, it meant he fundamentally did not fear the Undying Imperial Clan.
At such a time, the correct approach was to stabilise Ye Guan and preserve Dongli Mo’s life.
Yet this clan leader was so eager for Dongli Mo to die slowly that he kept threatening Ye Guan.
Was this intellectual disability?
Just then, Ye Guan suddenly said, “No. You are the grand clan leader of the Undying Imperial Clan. You cannot possibly be this stupid…”
At this point, his eyes narrowed. “You deliberately wanted me to kill this Dongli Mo. If I am not mistaken, this Dongli Mo is not your son or direct descendant.”
At these words, Dongli Chen’s eyes instantly narrowed.
Around them, the many powerhouses of the Undying Imperial Clan looked at Dongli Chen in shock and horror.
Just then, a middle-aged man suddenly charged out. He pointed furiously at Dongli Chen. “Dongli Chen, you cur. Even at a time like this, you still engage in internal strife. Return my son’s life.”
Saying that, he charged straight at Dongli Chen.
The many powerhouses of the Undying Imperial Clan present were stunned.
Damn it.
This clan leader was too outrageous.
They were all furious.
Truly furious.
At a time like this, you still play dirty tricks and scheme?
That Dongli Mo was the most monstrous talent in the current Undying Imperial Clan. With Dongli Mo dead, the younger generation would have no one to carry the banner.
Yet this fellow, for the sake of his own direct lineage, played such a sinister move, deliberately forcing Ye Guan to kill Dongli Mo.
Internal struggles in normal times were fine.
But damn it, at a moment like this, you still resort to dirty tricks.
In this instant, every powerhouse of the Undying Imperial Clan present was enraged.
Ye Guan glanced at the two fighting fiercely in the distance and shook his head. “Tower Master, is this the Undying Imperial Clan where the Human Sword Master once resided?”
Little Tower said softly, “The former clan leader of the Undying Imperial Clan was an extraordinary person. That generation of the Undying Imperial Clan members were all remarkable. Now, tens of millions of years have passed. Things remain, but people have changed.”
Ye Guan said in his mind, “Tower Master, can you sense the Qingxuan Sword?”
Little Tower was silent for a moment, then somewhat puzzled. “I cannot sense it. This is abnormal.”
At these words, Ye Guan frowned. He looked at the two still fighting in the distance, speechless.
Damn it.
I came here to borrow a sword, not to watch you fight amongst yourselves.
“Stop!”
Just then, Ye Guan suddenly roared.
At this, Dongli Chen and the middle-aged man in the distance halted. Everyone present turned to Ye Guan.
Ye Guan said gravely, “Is internal strife appropriate at this time? Should you not unite against me instead? Can you not even be proper villains without me reminding you?”
Everyone: “…”
Ye Guan stared at the crowd from the Undying Imperial Clan. “I now wish to borrow the Qingxuan Sword. If you refuse, we shall continue settling accounts.”
Borrow the Qingxuan Sword.
At these words, the expressions of the many powerhouses from the Undying Imperial Clan all darkened.
Ye Guan suddenly pointed at the distant statue of the Human Sword Master. “My faith is in the Human Sword Master. I swear in the name of the Human Sword Master that once I finish using the Qingxuan Sword, I will certainly return it to you.”
Little Tower: “…”
Dongli Mo was about to say something when a woman stepped forward from the side. She appeared very young, only seventeen or eighteen, wearing a purple skirt. She had a fine figure and dignified appearance, with beautifully painted brows and eyes. Though not of peerless beauty, she was nevertheless captivating.
The woman looked at Ye Guan and said calmly, “Young Master Ye Guan, the Qingxuan Sword is not in our Undying Imperial Clan.”
At this, Ye Guan was stunned. “Not in the Undying Imperial Clan?”
The woman nodded slightly. “Tens of millions of years ago, the Qingxuan Sword was indeed in our Undying Imperial Clan. But later, the then-clan leader, Clan Leader Jing, took the sword to the main Guanxuan Academy. Therefore, the sword is no longer in our clan. To deter petty villains, we never announced this publicly.”
Ye Guan was silent for a moment, then turned to Dongli Chen and said angrily, “If you have no sword, why did you not say so earlier? If you had said so sooner, I would not have killed your Dongli Mo.”
“Ah!”
Nearby, the middle-aged man, hearing this, was instantly overwhelmed with grief. “My Mo’er. You died so tragically.”
Saying that, he suddenly turned to Dongli Chen, his gaze filled with venomous hatred. “You old dog. Today, this old man shall perish together with you.”
With that, he charged at Dongli Chen once more.
Thus, the two resumed their fierce battle.
Ye Guan felt somewhat dejected.
He had thought the Qingxuan Sword was in the Undying Imperial Clan, but unexpectedly, an ancestor of the clan had taken it to the Guanxuan Universe.
And he had just slain the Heavenly Dao. Now go to the main Guanxuan Academy?
Ye Guan suddenly asked in his mind, “Tower Master, with you and me together, could we storm the main Guanxuan Universe Academy? I fight the young ones, you fight the old ones. As long as you agree, I will charge to the main Guanxuan Academy right now.”
Little Tower was silent for a moment, then said, “I thank you for thinking so highly of me.”
Damn it.
This fellow was even more ruthless than his grandfather, even shrewder than his father. Simply outrageous.
How did the Yang family become more outrageous with each generation?
Hearing the Tower Master’s words, Ye Guan shook his head, a bitter expression on his face.
At this moment, the purple-skirted woman suddenly said, “Young Master Ye Guan.”
Ye Guan turned to her. The woman hesitated, then said, “May I speak with you?”
Ye Guan said calmly, “What do you wish to discuss?”
The woman walked up to Ye Guan. She looked at him and said seriously, “It is clear that Young Master Ye Guan is not some great villain. Did Young Master come here to borrow the sword for that Lady Nalan Jia?”
Ye Guan looked at the woman. “How do you know?”
The woman smiled faintly. “Although Young Master Ye Guan has not been in the Central Divine Continent long, your esteemed name has already spread throughout the entire region. To be frank, I have admired Young Master Ye for some time, so I privately investigated you.”
Ye Guan stared at her. “What do you wish to say?”
The woman suddenly turned to an elder nearby. “Great Elder, please fetch that Ebony Wood of our Undying Imperial Clan.”
Ebony Wood.
At these words, the Great Elder’s expression changed dramatically.
The woman said calmly, “Great Elder, once Young Master Ye leaves, if nothing unexpected happens, you should become the clan leader of our Undying Imperial Clan.”
At this, the Great Elder suddenly shivered.
Indeed.
The current clan leader had incurred public wrath.
With this thought, the Great Elder turned and left. He moved quickly and, in an instant, returned with a storage ring, presenting it to Ye Guan.
The woman suddenly said, “This is one-hundred-thousand-year Ebony Wood. The ebony energy within it is extremely beneficial to the soul. Young Master can have Lady Nalan continuously absorb this energy. With this item to nourish her, not only can Nalan Jia’s soul persist longer, but it can also condense her spirit, strengthening her soul. In the future, when Young Master obtains the Qingxuan Sword and reconstructs a physical body for her, her soul will suffer no weakness or after-effects.”
One-hundred-thousand-year Ebony Wood.
The Great Elder instantly felt some heartache. “Young Master Ye, this item is worth nearly a hundred million gold crystals. It is one of the treasures of our Undying Imperial Clan.”
Ye Guan turned to the woman. “What is your name?”
The woman smiled faintly. “Dongli Yu.”
Ye Guan put away the storage ring, then said, “Thank you.”
With that, he turned and left.
Just then, Dongli Chen in the distance suddenly roared in fury, “Insolence. Insolence.”
Saying that, he suddenly took out a token.
Seeing this token, everyone’s expressions in the field changed dramatically.
Sword Token.
Dongli Chen glared venomously at the distant Ye Guan. “It is you who ruined my plans…”
Saying that, he directly activated the sword token.
Hum!
Suddenly, the distant statue of the Human Sword Master trembled violently. In the next moment, a strand of sword qi soared into the heavens.
Boom!
A terrifying aura instantly spread across the entire Central Divine Continent.
Human Sword Intent.
In this moment, all powerhouses throughout the Central Divine Continent sensed a terrifying sword intent.
The moment the Human Sword Intent emerged, countless beings were shocked.
All swords across the Central Divine Continent trembled in unison at this instant, then broke free from their owners’ hands, bowing reverently towards the direction of the Undying Realm.
That man has returned?
Dongli Chen pointed furiously at Ye Guan, like a madman. “Human Sword Intent, kill him. Kill him.”
Little Tower: “…”
