Dao Sect.
Ye Guan stood at the entrance of the Dao Sect. At this moment, the gates of the Dao Sect were no longer so shabby!
Two massive stones several zhang high, and a plaque several zhang wide, with two gilded characters on the plaque: Dao Sect!
Dao Monk stood at the entrance of the Dao Sect. Beside him was Nanling Yiyi, and in front of Nanling Yiyi and Dao Monk was Ye Guan!
Farewell!
Ye Guan bowed deeply to Dao Monk. “Master, I must leave!”
Dao Monk looked at Ye Guan before him, his expression extremely complicated!
He already knew about the matters concerning the Guanxuan Academy. He was very angry, but helpless!
He knew that a powerful force was targeting Ye Guan, a force that the Dao Sect could not oppose!
Dao Monk sighed softly. “Little one, Master is incompetent and cannot protect you. Do not blame Master!”
Ye Guan smiled. “Master, do not say such things. These matters arose because of me. It would be best not to implicate the Dao Sect because of my affairs!”
Dao Monk sighed again. “You, take care!”
As he spoke, he spread his palm, and a storage ring flew to Ye Guan. “This is Master’s savings over the years. Do not refuse, take it!”
Ye Guan glanced at the storage ring. Inside were ten million gold crystals!
Ye Guan was stunned.
Dao Monk said softly, “This was left to me by my master back then. He wanted me to use this money to rebuild the Dao Sect, to make the Dao Sect a proper force…”
As he spoke, he shook his head. “This task, I could not complete! You complete it!”
Ye Guan hesitated for a moment, then said, “It is not impossible, but could you give a bit more?”
Dao Monk laughed heartily. “There is no more! This is what several generations of Dao Sect ancestors saved!”
Ye Guan fell silent.
Truly too poor!
Dao Monk gently patted Ye Guan’s shoulder, then said, “Little one, you are not a creature of the pond. In the future, you will surely soar through the nine heavens. Remember, you must live, definitely!”
Ye Guan nodded. “I understand!”
Dao Monk said, “Chat with Yiyi!”
With that, he turned and left.
Ye Guan looked at Nanling Yiyi. Nanling Yiyi kept her head lowered, her two fingers twisting in circles, saying nothing.
Ye Guan smiled. “Senior Sister Yiyi!”
Nanling Yiyi raised her head to look at Ye Guan. Her eyes were somewhat red, with mist in them, but no tears fell.
Ye Guan said softly, “I am leaving! In the future, take care of yourself!”
Nanling Yiyi quickly said, “I… I…”
She wanted to say something, but did not.
At this moment, Ji Xuan nearby suddenly said, “We must go! Otherwise, it may be too late!”
Ye Guan suddenly took out a storage ring and placed it in Nanling Yiyi’s hand. “Senior Sister Yiyi, inside the storage ring are ten true dragons, plus a copy of the Divine Canon and the Law Canon. I asked Tower Master for them for you. Tower Master said they are very powerful. I do not know how powerful, you can study them slowly yourself. Besides that, I left you several million gold crystals…”
As he spoke, he smiled faintly. “Remember, in the future when you go to Yong City, buy whatever you want. Do not make yourself suffer so much anymore!”
With that, he turned and transformed into a sword light with Ji Xuan, disappearing at the horizon.
Nanling Yiyi looked at the storage ring in her hand, stunned for a moment. In the next instant, tears in her eyes surged out like a broken dam. She looked up at the horizon and said softly, “Junior Brother… I like you!”
At this moment, Dao Monk slowly walked over nearby. He sighed softly. “Girl, remember, this life is actually very short. In the end, we will all lose things. If you love someone, it is better to be bold!”
Nanling Yiyi stared blankly at the horizon and said softly, “Master, I am going to the main branch of the Guanxuan Academy.”
Dao Monk sighed again.
Tears continued to pour from Nanling Yiyi’s eyes. “If something happens to Junior Brother, apart from praying for him, I can do nothing! I hate this powerless self, truly hate it. I am going to the main branch. I will cultivate. I will become the most powerful divine arts master in history!”
Dao Monk nodded. “Good!”
Nanling Yiyi turned and bowed deeply to Dao Monk. “Master, take care. When I am not here, do not get drunk again!”
With that, she turned and walked down the mountain.
In place, Dao Monk watched Nanling Yiyi descending the mountain. His gaze suddenly became bewildered!
Now, the Dao Sect was left with only him again!
…
Guanxuan Universe, Little Guan Continent, a certain villa.
A woman sat in a pavilion, rapidly reviewing something.
This person was none other than Ye Guanzhi.
Today’s Ye Guanzhi wore a simple plain robe, her long hair casually draped behind her, but it did not appear messy.
Before her was a large pile of memorials awaiting review.
At this moment, an old woman suddenly appeared beside Ye Guanzhi. She bowed slightly, then said, “The academy’s Enforcement Court and Heavenly Dao Court have issued a bounty warrant. Whoever can kill Ye Guan will obtain three strands of Great Dao destiny and one million immortal crystals.”
As she spoke, she paused, then added, “As soon as the warrant was issued, geniuses and monsters from the nine heavens and ten lands of the Guanxuan Universe immediately headed to the Zhongtu Divine Continent. Among them, there are even some old monsters!”
Ye Guanzhi put down the pen in her hand and fell silent.
The old woman glanced at Ye Guanzhi, then said, “Although those major sects and major aristocratic families cannot bring themselves to compete with these forces, I have already found out that some geniuses and monsters from their clans have headed to the Zhongtu Divine Continent! Besides that, some geniuses from the Monster List also…”
Ye Guanzhi suddenly asked, “Did Young Master Ye kill An Daoxin and defeat that one from the Fifth Dimension?”
The old woman nodded. “An Daoxin brought out the Martial God Spear, but was still defeated. The An Clan head An Ya openly interfered in the duel between the two, and sent eighty percent of the strong experts from the Qing Province An Clan to the Zhongtu Divine Continent, preparing to forcibly slay Ye Guan! But they failed!”
Ye Guanzhi said calmly, “Who was the person who saved Ye Guan?”
The old woman fell silent.
Ye Guanzhi looked at the old woman. The old woman said gravely, “We only know it was a female Sword Emperor, but no one can remember her appearance!”
Hearing this, Ye Guanzhi’s brows furrowed. “What about her clothing?”
The old woman said gravely, “A red skirt like blood!”
Red skirt like blood!
Ye Guanzhi pondered for a while, then shook her head. “No impression!”
The old woman nodded. “This Young Master Ye is also somewhat mysterious!”
Ye Guanzhi shook her head slightly. “That day I punished the An Clan, but I did not expect that those aristocratic family factions and sect factions would think I was targeting them. Therefore, they want to kill Ye Guan to warn me!”
As she spoke, a trace of apology flashed in her eyes. “In the end, it was my lack of consideration that harmed him! If I had not intervened that day, things might not have reached this point!”
The old woman shook her head. “This has nothing to do with you. Without you, the An Clan and the Heavenly Dragon Clan would not have let him go either. It was only a matter of time!”
As she spoke, she looked at Ye Guanzhi. “My suggestion is not to intervene!”
Ye Guanzhi turned to look at the old woman. The old woman said gravely, “The right and wrong of this matter are no longer important now. What matters is the attitude of those aristocratic family factions and sect factions. They believe that if you help Ye Guan, you are trying to suppress the aristocratic families and sects. Therefore, the more you help Ye Guan, the greater his troubles become!”
Ye Guanzhi suddenly stood up slowly. She walked to the side, hands behind her back, silent.
The old woman continued, “Moreover, Young Master Ye slew the Heavenly Dao. This time he has not only provoked the sect factions and aristocratic family factions, but also the Heavenly Dao Court and Enforcement Court. If we still help Ye Guan now, it would be equivalent to becoming enemies with the Heavenly Dao Court and Enforcement Court, which is unfavourable for us!”
Ye Guanzhi suddenly smiled lightly. “But I think right and wrong are the most important. Right is right, wrong is wrong! The An Clan openly bullied with power, that is wrong. The Heavenly Dao Court and Heavenly Dao privately listened to orders and oppressed others, that is also wrong! The Zhongtu Divine Continent sat by and watched, allowing the An Clan and major aristocratic families to despise the Guanxuan laws, that is even more wrong!”
As she spoke, she looked up at the horizon, expressionless. “As the chief of the academy’s Literary Institute, holding great power, if in all matters I only consider benefits and losses, not right and wrong, how can I be worthy of this power? Worthy of the Guanxuan laws and books I have read these years?”
Hearing this, the old woman’s face changed immediately!
Ye Guanzhi suddenly turned and walked to the pavilion nearby. She suddenly picked up her pen and wrote swiftly. The first two characters were: Impeach!
And when she saw the long list of sect and aristocratic family names that followed, the old woman’s face instantly turned pale. She said tremblingly, “If you do this, you will become enemies with all aristocratic families and sects. For a mere little Ye Guan, is it worth it?”
Ye Guanzhi stopped writing. After a moment of silence, she said, “It is not a question of worth or not, but whether it should be done! If everyone in the academy only considers benefits and losses, then who will speak justice for the common people? The academy serves the masses, not the aristocratic families and sects!”
The old woman shook her head. “In the Cabinet, most are aristocratic families and sects. Even if you impeach to the Cabinet, the final result is already predetermined! Moreover, you will be implicated!”
Ye Guanzhi smiled faintly. “Even so, it must be done!”
The old woman said tremblingly, “Why! Why!”
Ye Guanzhi said softly, “For the faith in my heart!”
Boom!
Suddenly, a white light shot into the sky, directly entering Ye Guanzhi’s body.
Rumble!
In an instant, a vast righteous qi suddenly surged from Ye Guanzhi’s body, rushing straight to the clouds!
The entire Little Guan Continent was shocked!
Someone had become a saint!
In an instant, hundreds of thousands of terrifying divine senses swept towards this villa!
Ye Guanzhi ignored the righteous qi emanating from her body and continued writing swiftly. After a moment, she took that memorial and walked towards the Cabinet Hall. With every step she took, a white light would enter her body, and this white light was precisely the righteous qi between heaven and earth!
All the academy powerhouses were shocked!
The Literary Institute was about to gain another Literary Saint!
Soon, Ye Guanzhi arrived before the Cabinet Hall!
The Cabinet!
The most powerful institution in the entire universe, especially after the Human Sword Master disappeared, the power of this Cabinet had reached a peak.
An old man came before Ye Guanzhi. He bowed slightly. “Congratulations!”
Ye Guanzhi handed the memorial to the old man. “Elder Zhang, trouble you!”
Elder Zhang nodded slightly, took the memorial, turned and walked into the Cabinet!
Ye Guanzhi stood before the Cabinet Hall, her eyes slowly closing.
Half an hour later, Elder Zhang slowly walked out. He looked at Ye Guanzhi and sighed softly. “The Cabinet has decreed that from this moment, Chief Ye’s position as chief is revoked, and she shall no longer have the authority to command the Guanxuan Guards. She is to study in seclusion in the Southern Courtyard. For one hundred years, without a Cabinet decree, she may not leave the Southern Courtyard!”
Ye Guanzhi said nothing.
