“Flashy and ostentatious?”
Ye Guan blinked, then said earnestly, “Tower Master, are you talking about the Human Sword Master?”
Little Tower fell silent.
Damn it!
This bastard has too many tricks up his sleeve!
Clearly, Ye Guan was trying to probe indirectly for information.
If it had not been warned, it might have let something slip.
Ye Guan would definitely use those details to reason and deduce useful information.
Little Tower felt extremely frustrated.
From now on, it would have to be twelve times more alert when speaking to this fellow. Otherwise, one careless moment and it would be duped.
Seeing Little Tower remain silent, Ye Guan also fell quiet.
Just now, Little Tower had been about to speak but suddenly stopped. Clearly, it had probably been stopped by someone else.
With this thought, Ye Guan suddenly asked, “Tower Master, are there other people inside the tower?”
Little Tower: “…”
Inside Little Tower, the mysterious voice sighed softly. “Little Tower, I feel you cannot outplay him either.”
Little Tower fell silent.
It had already been played for two generations.
Was this third generation going to play it as well?
No!
This generation, it must firmly get the upper hand over this little bastard. Otherwise, in the future, Tower Master might become Little Tower.
Little Tower said, “Actually, your concerns are not without reason.”
Ye Guan was stunned.
Little Tower continued, “Think about it. The Guanxuan Academy was founded by the Human Sword Master himself. How could he punish his own people for an outsider like you? If he really did that, would it not be slapping his own face? Especially since the An family are his relatives. His wife comes from the An family. Tell me, who is closer to him, you or the An family?”
Ye Guan fell silent.
Little Tower added, “You killed people from the An family and even slew a Heavenly Dao. Though there was cause, you did do these things. Therefore, I think that if the Human Sword Master appears, there is a high probability he will side with the Guanxuan Academy and attack you. You must prepare yourself mentally.”
Ye Guan said nothing.
Inside Little Tower, the mysterious voice suddenly asked, “Will you scare him too much?”
Little Tower said calmly, “I need to scare him a bit. Who asked this little bastard to keep setting traps for me?”
Ye Guan suddenly said, “Tower Master, why do I feel that you know the Human Sword Master?”
Little Tower replied calmly, “I know him. He does not know me.”
Ye Guan shook his head. “My feeling is that you must be very familiar with him.”
Little Tower was silent for a moment, then asked, “How can you tell?”
Ye Guan smiled. “At the beginning, you said the Human Sword Master is flashy and ostentatious. If you were not familiar with him, how would you know he is flashy? Moreover, previously I took the Human Sword Master as my goal, but you stopped me and told me to choose someone else. In addition, along the way, whenever the Human Sword Master was mentioned, you often teased him. Clearly, you are very familiar with him. Otherwise, you would not tease him like that. As for how familiar, I cannot deduce that far.”
Little Tower fell silent.
Damn it!
Talking too much brings trouble.
In front of this little bastard, it must speak less in the future. Too many words lead to mistakes.
Ye Guan suddenly smiled. “Tower Master, I will not ask these questions anymore.”
Little Tower asked, “Why?”
Ye Guan smiled. “No matter why you appeared by my side, it is not important. What matters is that along the way, you have treated me well. You harbour no malice towards me and have helped me multiple times in critical moments. As for the things you conceal from me, I am sure you have your own difficulties and compulsions. I can understand that.”
Inside Little Tower, Little Tower said gravely, “What is he playing at? Playing hard to get?”
The mysterious voice said gravely, “This should be the boy’s sincere words.”
Little Tower sighed softly. “With him saying that, it actually makes me feel a bit embarrassed. I would almost prefer if he were scheming against me.”
Outside, Ye Guan no longer dwelled on this issue. He looked towards the end of the starry sky. The galaxy was brilliant, deep, and tranquil.
At this moment, he felt a trace of confusion.
He had never expected things to develop to this extent. Little Tower’s words made him even more worried.
Who was closer to the Human Sword Master, the An family or himself?
Obviously, it was the An family.
If the Human Sword Master played favourites, then going to lodge this imperial complaint would be walking straight to his death.
But now, he had no other options.
He could only go to Qing Province to lodge the complaint.
If the Human Sword Master was just and wise, that would naturally be best.
If he was not, then he would have to bring out the Xuandao Sword and perish together with him.
At that moment, Ji Xuan suddenly pointed into the distance. “Look!”
Ye Guan gathered his thoughts and looked ahead. Several thousand zhang away, a youth stood there, carrying a long sabre on his shoulder, a faint smile on his face.
Ji Xuan said gravely, “They have come.”
Ye Guan nodded slightly. “That was quick.”
Ji Xuan stopped the cloud ship and put it away. They were about to fight. They could not afford to damage the cloud ship.
The sabre-carrying youth stared at Ye Guan and grinned. “You are Ye Guan?”
Ye Guan nodded.
The youth’s smile widened. “Killing you grants two strands of Great Dao destiny and one million immortal crystals. I am not particularly talented, but I would like to try.”
Ye Guan suddenly vanished from where he stood.
Whoosh!
Instant Kill Sword!
The instant Ye Guan disappeared, the youth’s pupils contracted sharply. He was about to draw his sabre and strike, but the thought had barely formed when a sword pierced his brow.
Whoosh!
Blood slowly flowed out along Ye Guan’s qi sword. In an instant, the youth’s face was covered in blood.
Ye Guan withdrew his qi sword, expressionless. He silently took the youth’s storage ring. Inside were three million gold crystals.
After putting away the ring, Ye Guan glanced at the youth’s sabre. It looked decent and valuable, so he took the sabre as well.
The youth: “…”
Ye Guan turned and walked back to Ji Xuan’s side, then said calmly, “They may have underestimated my strength a little.”
Ji Xuan smiled. “It is not that they underestimated your strength. Rather, the academy’s reward is too tempting. Some people are willing to take the risk.”
Ye Guan nodded. He was not very familiar with Great Dao destiny and did not know how precious it was, but one million immortal crystals was real money. If he were in their position, he might not be able to resist the temptation either.
Ji Xuan suddenly looked into the distance and smiled. “Are you not coming out yet?”
Ye Guan also looked ahead. At that moment, a laughing voice suddenly rang out from somewhere in space. “Worthy of the peerless genius who could kill An Daoxin. Tsk tsk, truly impressive.”
As the voice fell, three figures slowly emerged.
Two men and one woman.
Leading them was a man who appeared to be in his twenties, standing ramrod straight, holding a long spear in his hand.
Though he wore a smile on his face, his gaze was sharp as a blade, ready to devour.
The aura of a Great Tribulation Realm expert.
To the man’s left stood a youth, exceptionally tall and burly. Wearing heavy armour, he gave off an overwhelming sense of pressure. In his hand, he held a heavy square shield engraved with many mysterious runes.
Standing there, he felt as steady as Mount Tai.
To the spear-wielding man’s right stood a woman in a loose white dress, hands hidden in her sleeves, her gaze icy cold. She had been staring at Ji Xuan in the distance.
All three were Great Tribulation Realm experts.
Ye Guan looked at the leading spear-wielding man and asked, “From the Guanxuan Universe?”
The man shook his head with a smile. “Have you ever heard of the Dark Mercenary Group?”
Mercenaries.
Ye Guan shook his head. “No.”
The man stared at Ye Guan and smiled. “Are we really that unknown?”
Beside Ye Guan, Ji Xuan said gravely, “The top-ranked mercenary group in Middle Earth Divine Continent.”
Top-ranked.
Ye Guan’s eyes narrowed slightly. The spear-wielding man was about to say more, but Ye Guan suddenly stepped forward. With that step, he vanished from where he stood.
Instant Kill Sword!
The instant Ye Guan disappeared, the woman in the white dress suddenly raised her hands. In an instant, the surrounding space trembled violently. Then, the gravitational force in the area suddenly increased dozens of times.
Ye Guan’s originally lightning-fast sword was forcibly slowed down.
The moment his speed decreased, the heavily armoured youth charged forward, raising his shield and ramming towards Ye Guan. With this charge, space cracked like a spiderweb, showing how terrifying the impact was.
Seeing the youth charging with his shield, Ye Guan narrowed his eyes, blocked horizontally with his sword.
Boom!
In an instant, Ye Guan was sent flying back over a dozen zhang. The moment he stopped, a long spear pierced through the air towards him. The spear tip was ferocious, capable of breaking through thousands of troops, utterly terrifying.
Ye Guan retreated his left foot to steady himself, then thrust his sword forward.
Boom!
The qi sword and the spear clashed violently, directly cracking the surrounding space.
At that moment, Ye Guan’s pupils contracted because, unbeknownst to him, a residual shadow had appeared behind him.
There was a fourth person.
And this fourth person was an assassin.
But just then, a flying dagger suddenly flashed across the field.
Boom!
The residual shadow was forced back over a dozen zhang. The moment it stopped, it vanished like a ghost.
The one who acted was Ji Xuan.
She had not made a move earlier precisely because she feared a sneak attack. As it turned out, she was right.
With the threat from behind removed, Ye Guan suddenly charged forward, slashing his sword onto the spear.
Boom!
The spear-wielding man was sent flying back over a dozen zhang by this slash.
After stopping, the man glanced at his slightly numb arm and grinned. “Worthy of the peerless genius who could kill An Daoxin. Fortunately, your realm is not high. Otherwise, we brothers really would not dare to come for this fortune.”
Ye Guan looked at the man, his expression calm.
The man was about to speak again when Ye Guan suddenly vanished once more.
Instant Kill Sword.
This time, his target was the divine arts woman.
Among these people, he must first eliminate this woman.
Seeing Ye Guan charging with his sword, the woman remained calm. She cast her spell again, forcibly increasing the spatiotemporal gravity in the field. At the same time, the heavily armoured youth stepped in front of her. With an angry roar, he thrust his square shield forward.
Boom!
Ye Guan’s sword was forcibly blocked by this thrust. The immense force made Ye Guan’s arms tremble, sending him retreating repeatedly. At that moment, the woman gently pointed at Ye Guan with her jade hand. “Slow!”
Boom!
In an instant, countless mysterious gases bound Ye Guan from all sides. At this moment, his retreating speed slowed several times over. Then, the spear-wielding man suddenly vanished, a cold glint instantly arriving before Ye Guan.
At the same time, the heavily armoured man charged forward again, ramming towards Ye Guan. This charge felt like Mount Tai bearing down, with terrifying momentum.
In place, Ye Guan narrowed his eyes. His right hand gripped his qi sword tightly, but his gaze remained fixed on the distant woman.
Just as the heavily armoured man and the spear-wielding man reached him, Ye Guan suddenly appeared before the woman like a ghost.
Seeing this, the woman’s pupils contracted sharply. “Brea…”
Whoosh!
A sword pierced directly into her brow. Her body trembled violently, then she said in a trembling voice, “Break the rules!”
Nearby, the spear-wielding man saw this and his expression changed dramatically. He quickly said, “Young Master Ye, please show mercy. We are willing to negotiate…”
Ye Guan slashed with his sword.
Whoosh!
The woman’s head flew off directly.
Ye Guan turned to look at the spear-wielding man. “No talk. Not happy. Not willing.”
