Bounty warrant!
Moreover, it was a bounty warrant from the Guanxuan Academy!
Hearing Gu Chaoyuan’s words, the faces of Ji Xuan and Ye Qing both changed!
Most importantly, the format of the Great Dao destiny contest had also changed! It had become a hunt for Ye Guan. Whoever killed Ye Guan would be first in the Great Dao destiny contest, and would obtain three strands of Great Dao destiny.
One million immortal crystals were very precious.
But this Great Dao destiny was the most precious of all, and it could not be measured with money.
Why?
Because obtaining Great Dao destiny meant receiving the protection of the Great Dao. You would turn misfortune into fortune, and could walk confidently on this martial path where everyone treaded as if on thin ice. If you obtained enough Great Dao destiny, it would be even more outrageous!
All calamities and tribulations could not touch you!
Your life would be like having cheats enabled!
Back then, the owner of the Great Dao Pen scattered three thousand strands of Great Dao destiny. The academy took two thousand exclusively, and the remaining one thousand were scattered across the universe for those fated to obtain them.
These three thousand strands of Great Dao destiny were what these aristocratic families and sects coveted most.
Why?
Because the geniuses in their clans lacked nothing in terms of techniques, divine artefacts, or any cultivation resources. They lacked only this Great Dao destiny!
Great Dao destiny could allow their geniuses to go much further!
And now, the first place in the Zhongtu Divine Continent’s Great Dao destiny contest would directly reward three strands of Great Dao destiny!
Moreover, the age limit had been adjusted from twenty-two to forty-five!
What did this mean?
It meant that geniuses from the previous generation could also participate!
This drove countless sects and aristocratic families into a frenzy!
Whichever aristocratic family or sect obtained these three strands of Great Dao destiny would, at the very least, produce three more peerless monsters!
Compete!
Some aristocratic families and sects from the Guanxuan Universe were tempted!
Gu Chaoyuan looked at Ye Guan, his expression complicated.
The reason he had come to tell Ye Guan these things was not to make Ye Guan owe him a favour, but simply because he could not stand the actions of these aristocratic families and sects.
It was too much bullying!
Especially the An Clan and the Ancient Heavenly Dragon Clan. Their behaviour was simply a disgrace, unworthy of the name of ancient aristocratic families!
He had witnessed the entire incident from beginning to end, so he understood the course of events better than anyone.
Suppressing a youth like this was truly too much bullying!
Ye Guan suddenly looked at Gu Chaoyuan. “Senior, are you from the academy?”
Gu Chaoyuan nodded. “Academy head of the Guanxuan Academy, Gu Chaoyuan!”
Ye Guan smiled. “So you came to tip me off?”
Gu Chaoyuan shook his head. “Young Master Ye, I am very sorry. I cannot oppose the powerful forces to fight for fairness for you, nor can I even report the truth of what happened here to the main branch… I am truly sorry!”
He was not Ye Guanzhi!
Report to the main branch?
If he dared to do so, he would not live to see the sun the next day!
Those aristocratic families and sects had that kind of power!
They could even scheme against Ye Guanzhi, let alone a mere academy head like him!
Ye Guan nodded slightly. “I understand!”
Gu Chaoyuan nodded. “Young Master Ye, if you want to survive now, there is only one way. That is to go to the main branch of the Guanxuan Academy and find Miss Ye Guanzhi. Only she can help you revoke the academy’s bounty warrant!”
Ye Guan smiled. “I understand!”
Gu Chaoyuan nodded slightly. “Take care!”
With that, he turned and left.
In place, Ye Qing looked at Ye Guan and smiled bitterly.
He had originally wanted to compete for the Great Dao destiny, but now it seemed completely ruined!
Ye Guan suddenly looked at the two of them. “What are your plans?”
Ye Qing said gravely, “Brother Ye Guan, I will follow you!”
He knew that soon many people would come to hunt Ye Guan. At this time, Ye Guan was isolated and weak. How could he withstand the pursuit of those geniuses? Moreover, geniuses from the Guanxuan Universe might even descend!
But Ye Guan shook his head. “Brother Ye Qing, you have your own fortune. There is no need to follow me!”
He did not want to implicate Ye Qing!
If Ye Qing followed him and killed geniuses from the main Guanxuan branch together, he would surely forge countless enmities. He did not want to drag Ye Qing into it!
Ye Qing wanted to say more, but Ye Guan shook his head. “Brother Ye Qing, listen to me. Go cultivate properly. The Ye Family still needs to rely on you!”
Ye Qing fell silent.
At this moment, that mysterious voice suddenly said, “If you truly want to help him, you must improve your own strength. We need to quickly find the remaining laws!”
Ye Qing said in his heart, “Master, I am still worried about Brother Ye Guan!”
The mysterious voice said, “Following him now, you cannot help him at all!”
Ye Qing fell silent.
The mysterious voice said, “When your strength has greatly improved, then you can help him more!”
Nearby, Ye Guan suddenly said, “Brother Ye Qing, believe me. I will strive to survive!”
Ye Qing looked at Ye Guan. After a moment of silence, he said, “Brother Ye Guan, I am going to search for laws. Rest assured, once I find the third law, I will come find you!”
Ye Guan nodded. “Good!”
Ye Qing said gravely, “Brother Ye Guan, take care!”
With that, he turned and transformed into a bolt of lightning, disappearing at the horizon!
Ye Guan watched the lightning vanish at the horizon. After a moment of silence, he looked at Ji Xuan. “Miss Ji Xuan, you should leave too!”
Ji Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “How do you plan to face the academy’s bounty warrant next?”
Ye Guan shook his head. “I do not know!”
He truly did not know!
This was not a warrant from the Zhongtu Divine Continent, but from the main branch!
Ji Xuan said gravely, “You have three choices!”
Ye Guan looked at Ji Xuan. She raised one finger. “First, you can go to the Immortal Treasure Pavilion. In the current universe, the only force that can rival the Guanxuan Academy is the Immortal Treasure Pavilion! However, the Immortal Treasure Pavilion definitely will not oppose the Guanxuan Academy for you!”
As she spoke, she raised a second finger. “Second, as that Academy Head Gu said, you can go find Miss Ye Guanzhi. If you find her, she might be able to save you! But I think it will be very difficult! Because the fact that she was transferred away that day already proves that even she cannot oppose the aristocratic family faction and the sect faction!”
Ye Guan nodded. He had not considered going to find Ye Guanzhi. Although the two knew each other, to say they had deep feelings would naturally be false.
Miss Ye Guanzhi was a good person, and he did not want to implicate her!
Ji Xuan smiled. “In that case, you have only the last path left!”
Ye Guan looked at Ji Xuan. She stared at him. “Flee!”
Flee!
Ye Guan shook his head with a smile. “The entire universe is under the academy’s rule. Even if I flee to the ends of the earth, I would still be on their territory!”
Ji Xuan said, “That depends on how you flee!”
Ye Guan looked at Ji Xuan. “Do you have a good suggestion?”
Ji Xuan said gravely, “Fleeing treats the symptoms, not the root! I think what you truly need to do is proclaim your injustice to the world! Going to the main branch of the Guanxuan Academy will not work, because you simply will not have the chance. And the only person who can uphold justice for you is one individual!”
Ye Guan’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Human Sword Master!”
Ji Xuan nodded. “The academy is now divided into the academy faction, the sect faction, and the aristocratic family faction. The sect faction and aristocratic family faction have joined forces to suppress the academy faction. Even if you go to the main branch, the academy faction may not be able to uphold justice for you! Moreover, going to the main branch is the stronghold of the aristocratic family and sect factions. They have ten thousand ways to kill you!”
Speaking here, she paused, then added, “Therefore, only if the Human Sword Master steps forward can justice be upheld for you!”
Ye Guan said gravely, “How to make the Human Sword Master appear?”
Ji Xuan stared at Ye Guan. “Go to Qing Province and lodge an imperial appeal!”
Little Tower: “…”
Ye Guan’s brows furrowed slightly. “Go to Qing Province to lodge an imperial appeal?”
Ji Xuan nodded. “When I was in the academy, I read about the history of Qing Province. Tens of millions of years ago, the first academy the Human Sword Master joined was the Canglan Academy. Later, after the Human Sword Master founded the Guanxuan Academy, he renamed the Canglan Academy to Guanxuan Academy, which is the Guanxuan Academy in Qing Province. He returned to Qing Province a few times and left a wisp of sword qi there!”
As she spoke, she looked at Ye Guan. “Go to Qing Province, find this wisp of sword qi, and lodge an imperial appeal!”
Lodge an imperial appeal!
Ye Guan fell silent!
Ji Xuan said gravely, “This is your only path now. Lodge an imperial appeal, beseech the Human Sword Master to manifest, and let the Human Sword Master uphold justice! As long as the Human Sword Master appears, he will surely discern the truth clearly. And only with his appearance can the sect faction and aristocratic family faction be suppressed!”
After a moment of silence, Ye Guan said immediately, “I will try!”
Fleeing endlessly was indeed not a solution. Moreover, if he kept fleeing, even if he could escape, those people might not be able to kill him, but there was no guarantee they would not target the Dao Sect or the Ye Family. Therefore, as Ji Xuan said, endless fleeing was not a cure for the root problem!
Lodge an imperial appeal!
The Human Sword Master founded the academy and created a new order for the world. He must be sagely and enlightened!
Act on thought!
Ye Guan said immediately, “Miss Ji Xuan, I need to return to the Dao Sect for a trip to bid farewell to my senior sister and master. You…”
Ji Xuan smiled. “I will go with you!”
Ye Guan said gravely, “No! This will implicate you!”
Ji Xuan shook her head. “I do not care about that!”
Ye Guan smiled bitterly. “Miss Ji Xuan, I am now under a bounty warrant…”
Ji Xuan suddenly glared at Ye Guan, somewhat annoyed. “Why are you so wishy-washy? Are you afraid I will drag you down?”
Ye Guan shook his head. “No, no, that is not what I mean. I…”
Ji Xuan directly interrupted Ye Guan. “Are you familiar with Qing Province? Are you familiar with the main branch? Do you know how to get to Qing Province? Take a teleportation array? Do you think you can still use a teleportation array now?”
Ye Guan fell silent.
Ji Xuan said softly, “I am not after anything from you. Why are you so guarded against me?”
Ye Guan quickly shook his head. “I have no other meaning. I am simply afraid that my matters will implicate you. I…”
Ji Xuan said calmly, “I am not afraid!”
Ye Guan fell silent.
Ji Xuan said, “Do not waste time here! Do you not need to bid farewell? Come, go to the Dao Sect to bid farewell, then hurry on our way!”
Ye Guan nodded. “Good!”
Ye Guan spread his palm, and a sword landed before him. He rode the sword upwards, disappearing at the horizon with Ji Xuan!
Within Little Tower, the mysterious voice suddenly said, “Is there really sword qi in Qing Province?”
Little Tower said, “There is!”
The mysterious voice said, “He is going to lodge an imperial appeal!”
Little Tower said softly, “Then let him lodge it! I never imagined that after tens of millions of years, some aristocratic families and sects would become so inflated… Truly, the seas have changed into mulberry fields, and things remain but people have changed!”
The mysterious voice fell silent.
Little Tower added, “Going to Qing Province is good too. It is also his ancestral land. Moreover, I somewhat miss the little lord! If we can meet this time, it would be wonderful. Probably, only this little fellow can make the little lord appear!”
The mysterious voice suddenly said, “Actually, if he went to another place to lodge an imperial appeal, it might be more effective!”
Little Tower said, “Immortal Treasure Pavilion?”
The mysterious voice said, “If he went to the Immortal Treasure Pavilion and called out ‘Mom’ to that portrait, saying the academy is bullying me… the academy would probably be razed to the ground!”
Little Tower fell silent.
With the lady’s protective nature towards her own, let alone the academy, probably the entire Little Guan Universe would be razed to the ground!
