Ye Guan no longer spoke further and began to focus on healing his injuries.
Inside the small pagoda, the mysterious voice said, “Small Pagoda, I feel what he said makes sense!”
The small pagoda remained silent.
The mysterious voice said, “Small Pagoda, you are not angry, are you?”
The small pagoda said calmly, “Am I the kind of petty person?”
The mysterious voice laughed, “Actually, you should be gratified! This little fellow’s character is truly excellent! The way he handled matters just now proves he is not a brainless person. He knows when to advance and when to retreat. I believe his future path can go very far indeed!”
The small pagoda said, “Indeed! Many of this little fellow’s actions have exceeded my expectations. It seems we must continue to keep things from him and prevent him from going astray! Yes, fool him thoroughly, fool him to death!”
The mysterious voice burst into laughter. This small pagoda was clearly carrying a bit of personal grudge!
On the cosmos ship.
Ye Guan’s injuries were beginning to recover slowly.
At this moment, he was also reviewing his earlier battle with Zhang Longhu!
In fact, he had not lied earlier. In his view, this Zhang Longhu was truly very powerful!
Every punch and move of Zhang Longhu carried the weight of a thousand jun. A slight carelessness could truly lead to one’s body being shattered to pieces.
Speed does not mean invincibility!
Especially now, anyone who dared to come out and challenge him must have confidence in countering his speed!
Most importantly, no one from the Guanxuan Academy had appeared yet!
Nor had the An family!
Although the An family in Qingzhou had suffered heavy losses, a centipede dies but never falls over. The foundation of this family still remained!
They would certainly not allow him to reach Qingzhou!
The Guanxuan Academy would certainly not allow it either!
If he arrived in Qingzhou and the Human Sword Master appeared, and the Human Sword Master handled the matter impartially, would that not slap the Guanxuan Academy in the face?
Therefore, the academy, along with those so-called aristocratic factions and sect factions, would definitely try every means to block him!
At this thought, Ye Guan’s hands slowly clenched.
Difficult!
Extremely difficult!
To say there was no pressure would be false!
What he now faced was the colossal entity that was the Guanxuan Academy!
By directly bypassing the academy to seek an audience with the Human Sword Master, it was equivalent to lodging a complaint over their heads. How could the Guanxuan Academy possibly agree?
They would certainly target him to the death!
Ye Guan shook his head and sighed!
He thought no further and began to seriously heal his injuries. Now, he must always keep himself in peak condition!
One day passed!
Ji Xuan suddenly sat in front of Ye Guan. She said seriously, “At our current speed, barring any accidents, we should reach Qingzhou in nine days! The Lingxu Divine Land will escort us for three days, which means we have six days of safety! But… I feel the Lingxu Divine Land cannot hold them back!”
Ye Guan glanced around. Indeed, countless mysterious auras had appeared in the surroundings!
Seeing this, Ye Guan’s expression immediately darkened!
In the distance, the Great Elder of the Lingxu Divine Land and Zhang Longhu also looked grave!
Along the way, they had discovered that more and more powerful auras were gathering around them!
Seeing this, both of their expressions became unsightly!
That day, a single sentence from Cao Bai of the Sword Sect had caused all the powerful experts to retreat!
But now… the difference was simply too great!
Zhang Longhu said gravely, “Great Elder, what should we do?”
The Great Elder remained silent, his expression rather grim.
He knew that the people in the shadows were forcing them to leave. They were preparing to let them depart with dignity!
If they did not leave, then soon others would help them depart with dignity!
Dilemma!
The Great Elder immediately became conflicted!
At that moment, Ye Guan on the cosmos ship suddenly laughed, “Brother Zhang, my injuries are healed. You may leave now!”
Hearing this, the Great Elder and Zhang Longhu turned to look at Ye Guan. Ye Guan smiled, “Thank you both for escorting me. My injuries are now healed, so you may depart!”
Zhang Longhu hesitated for a moment, then said, “Brother Ye…”
Ye Guan smiled, “Brother Zhang, I will remember your kindness in escorting me. From now on, let me face this alone!”
Zhang Longhu fell silent.
Ye Guan looked towards the Great Elder and smiled, “Senior, take Brother Zhang and leave!”
The Great Elder hesitated briefly, then said, “Young Master Ye, take care!”
With that, he opened his palm, and a white jade bottle flew to Ye Guan. Then he directly took Zhang Longhu and vanished from the scene!
He knew he could no longer stay here!
Because he had underestimated those big shots in the shadows!
Let alone the Lingxu Divine Land, even if the Sword Sect came, they probably could not withstand it!
After the two left, Ye Guan glanced at the bottle before him. Inside were three pills!
All were immortal-grade pills!
Moreover, all three were recovery pills that could restore a large amount of profound energy in a short time!
Ye Guan said softly, “How thoughtful!”
These three pills were undoubtedly extremely important to him!
This gave him the capital to fight a prolonged battle!
The several healing pills that Ye Guanzhi had given him earlier remained unused. He had kept them all along!
In truth, fighting was like waging war in the mortal world. Often, it came down to resources!
At this point, Ji Xuan walked to Ye Guan’s side. She looked around and said softly, “There are more and more of them!”
Ye Guan glanced around and fell silent.
Indeed, the powerful auras in the shadows were increasing!
Moreover, from the looks of it, many more people were rushing here!
One million immortal crystals!
Three strands of Great Dao destiny!
Who would not covet them?
Ye Guan suddenly chuckled lightly!
Ji Xuan smiled, “What are you laughing at?”
Ye Guan said softly, “Laughing at how valuable I truly am!”
Ji Xuan shook her head with a smile.
Ye Guan suddenly looked at Ji Xuan and said seriously, “Miss Ji Xuan, do you want to leave? I mean it sincerely! I truly do not wish to implicate you!”
Ji Xuan looked at Ye Guan. “Now everyone knows I am on your side. Whether I leave or not at this moment, what difference does it make?”
Ye Guan fell silent.
Ji Xuan smiled, “Rest assured, if it truly comes to a life-or-death moment, I will definitely escape. I will not die for you!”
Ye Guan nodded slightly, “Good!”
In this lifetime, the last thing he wanted was to implicate others because of himself!
Just then, the speed of the cosmos ship suddenly slowed. Ye Guan narrowed his eyes. The ship’s speed grew slower and slower. In just a few breaths, the originally swift vessel reduced to a crawl and finally stopped in place!
Hundreds of zhang ahead of the cosmos ship stood a woman. She wore a purple robe, her long hair cascading over her shoulders, a veil covering her face. In her right hand she held a deep blue staff crafted like crystal, emitting a faint eerie glow. At the tip of the staff hung a lantern with a dark, ghostly flame, mysterious beyond measure.
A divine arts master!
Ye Guan and Ji Xuan both grew solemn!
Ji Xuan stared at the woman and said gravely, “She is at least a Heavenly Realm divine arts master!”
Heavenly Realm divine arts master!
Ye Guan fell silent!
Not long ago, he had encountered a divine arts master, the one from that mercenary group. Even then, he had suffered some hardship!
That woman had only been ninth rank!
Yet the one before him was at least Heavenly Realm!
Most importantly, this woman was certainly from the Guanxuan Universe. Divine arts masters there could not be compared to those in the Central Divine Continent, after all, the Central Divine Continent had superior divine law inheritance.
Moreover, judging by what this woman wore and held, everything was clearly top quality!
Divine arts masters truly relied heavily on equipment!
Honestly, he did not wish to fight divine arts masters. These people played with magic, which was truly headache-inducing!
At that moment, the woman suddenly spoke, “Young Master Ye, I am Qiao Xingyao of the Years Cave Heaven. I am a divine arts master. Today I have come to spar with Young Master Ye!”
Years Cave Heaven!
The foremost of the nine great cave heavens!
Ye Guan glanced at Qiao Xingyao. “Miss, are you also here for the Great Dao destiny?”
Qiao Xingyao thought for a moment, then said, “At first, yes. But after arriving and seeing Young Master Ye’s extraordinary bearing, and that you are not an evil person, today I appear only to spar with Young Master Ye. I have no other intentions!”
Ye Guan said, “Miss, you are from the academy. By doing this, are you not afraid of punishment from the academy?”
Qiao Xingyao shook her head. “Young Master Ye, justice resides in people’s hearts. Regarding the rights and wrongs of this matter, everyone has seen it clearly. Anyone with a modicum of intelligence knows who is right and who is wrong!”
She paused, then added, “Of course, regarding Young Master Ye’s plight, there is nothing I can do!”
Ye Guan nodded. “I understand!”
In the entire academy, those who dared to stand forth like Ye Guanzhi were certainly few and far between. No, it should be said there was only Ye Guanzhi alone!
Daring to stand out and question the cabinet, question the academy!
Of course, he could also understand!
Let alone others, if such a matter fell upon his own head, he could not guarantee he would dare to stand forth like Ye Guanzhi!
Qiao Xingyao suddenly said again, “Young Master Ye, please grant me instruction!”
Ye Guan nodded and was about to speak when Ji Xuan suddenly said, “Miss Qiao, your strength is surely extraordinary. If you spar with Little Guan, it will certainly end with both sides gravely injured. Once he is wounded, those in the shadows will definitely seize the chance to strike!”
Hearing this, Qiao Xingyao frowned!
Ji Xuan continued, “If Miss Qiao escorts us for a day, there is no guarantee you will not be resented by those in the shadows, bringing trouble to your Years Cave Heaven. Therefore, my personal suggestion is to postpone your spar. Would that be acceptable?”
Postpone!
Qiao Xingyao thought for a moment, then nodded. “I had not considered that layer!”
She looked at Ye Guan. “Young Master Ye, then our battle shall be postponed!”
Ye Guan smiled. “That works! If I survive this journey to Qingzhou, in the future I will certainly visit Years Cave Heaven!”
Qiao Xingyao nodded slightly. “Young Master Ye is welcome to come. At that time…”
“He probably will not have the chance to go!”
At that moment, a voice suddenly came from the side!
Her words interrupted, Qiao Xingyao immediately frowned.
Everyone turned towards the voice. Dozens of zhang to the right, a man approached!
The man wore a bright yellow robe, a long sabre at his waist. His long hair flowed over his shoulders. With each slow step, a powerful sabre momentum directly shook the surrounding space into violent tremors!
“Prince Hao!”
Someone in the field exclaimed, “He… he is Prince Hao, fourth on the Prodigy List, and the youngest prince of the Ancient Clan at present!”
Ancient Clan!
At these words, everyone present was shocked!
One of the four super families of the Guanxuan Academy’s main branch, and currently one of the most powerful super clans in the entire universe!
One clan was one kingdom, one kingdom was one clan!
And the current true wielder of power in the Ancient Clan was even more terrifying!
Princess Xin!
In those years, she had conquered the universe, commanding millions of troops!
It was no exaggeration to say that if Princess Xin stamped her right foot, the entire Guanxuan Universe would tremble!
