Ye Guan looked toward the Human Sword Lord. In the Human Sword Lord’s eyes, he saw a trace of vicissitude.
Ye Guan turned his head to look at the tombstone and said softly, “Senior, who is buried inside?”
The Human Sword Lord smiled faintly. “One of my teachers!”
Ye Guan nodded slightly and said nothing more.
The Human Sword Lord slowly stood up. He walked to the side and smiled. “Let’s take a walk together!”
Ye Guan nodded. Together with Ji Xuan, he followed the Human Sword Lord.
The Human Sword Lord glanced at Ye Guan. A touch of gentleness flashed in his eyes as he smiled. “What are your thoughts after this time?”
Ye Guan remained silent.
The Human Sword Lord smiled. “Feel free to speak!”
Ye Guan thought for a moment, then said seriously, “Justice is best kept in one’s own hands!”
The Human Sword Lord asked, “Anything else?”
Ye Guan shook his head. “I am too weak!”
The Human Sword Lord smiled. “Strength takes time! No one is born invincible! Everything has to go through a process!”
Ye Guan nodded. After a moment of hesitation, he said, “Senior, this time the ones targeting me were not only the An family, but also the academy. Although I have never been to the main academy, I know the academy is divided into many factions. There are sect factions and noble family factions. They form cliques, fight for power and profit, and seriously disrupt the academy’s order!”
The Human Sword Lord nodded and said softly, “Back then, these problems were already foreseen!”
Ye Guan was puzzled. “Then why didn’t you deal with them back then?”
The Human Sword Lord smiled. “Back then they fought alongside me to conquer the world. After the world was conquered, if I had immediately raised the butcher’s knife against them, wouldn’t that be a bit ungrateful?”
Ye Guan fell silent.
The Human Sword Lord continued. “Moreover, back then they were all very well-behaved. I had no reason to act against them! So later I decided to leave this matter to my future son to handle!”
Ye Guan hesitated, then said, “Senior, forgive my bluntness. You play the good guy and let your son play the bad guy. Wouldn’t that make your son the unlucky one?”
Unlucky one!
The Human Sword Lord suddenly burst into loud laughter!
Ye Guan looked at the carefree Human Sword Lord and shook his head. In his heart he sighed. Whoever becomes your son is truly cursed for eight lifetimes!
He could see it clearly now!
Other people pit their fathers. This Human Sword Lord pits his son!
The Human Sword Lord suddenly smiled. “Little fellow, I have to go!”
Ye Guan quickly said, “Senior, may I ask you for one thing?”
The Human Sword Lord nodded. “Tell me!”
Ye Guan opened his palm. The Sword of the Path appeared in his hand. He looked at the Human Sword Lord. “Senior, my fiancée’s soul suffered severe damage that day. It is now nurtured inside the Sword of the Path. Could Senior please help revive her?”
Fiancée!
Beside them, Ji Xuan glanced at Ye Guan, lowered her head slightly, and said nothing.
The Sword of the Path!
The Human Sword Lord took the Sword of the Path. Looking at the sword in his hand, he smiled faintly and said softly, “It has been a long time!”
The Sword of the Path trembled slightly, as if responding!
Seeing this scene, Ye Guan was stunned.
This Human Sword Lord knew the Sword of the Path?
At that moment, a small tower slowly flew out from inside Ye Guan. It floated in front of the Human Sword Lord and said softly, “Young Lord!”
The voice could only be heard by it and the Human Sword Lord!
The Human Sword Lord looked at the small tower. A trace of complexity flashed in his eyes. Then he said softly, “You have worked hard!”
At that moment, Ye Guan beside them suddenly asked, “Senior, you know Tower Grandpa?”
The Human Sword Lord smiled. “Yes, I know him!”
Ye Guan hesitated, then said, “Senior, then do you know my father?”
The Human Sword Lord blinked. “I have met him a few times, but we are not very familiar!”
Ye Guan said seriously, “Tower Grandpa said my father is a live-in son-in-law. Is that true?”
Upon hearing this, the Human Sword Lord’s expression instantly froze.
“What the hell!”
The small tower suddenly panicked and hurriedly explained, “Young Lord, this…”
The Human Sword Lord suddenly grabbed the small tower. “It seems you have not worked hard at all!”
With that, he directly threw the small tower toward the edge of the sky!
Ye Guan was stunned and quickly said, “Senior, what are you doing?”
The Human Sword Lord smiled. “Your Tower Grandpa’s body is not in good condition. I am just helping him loosen up his muscles!”
Ye Guan: “…”
The Human Sword Lord looked at the Sword of the Path in his hand. After a moment of silence, he said, “You know my personal sword, Qingxuan, right?”
Ye Guan nodded. “Yes!”
The Human Sword Lord said softly, “The soul of the girl inside this sword needs my personal sword to be repaired. You will have to go to the main academy to find my personal sword!”
Ye Guan looked at the Human Sword Lord and wanted to speak but stopped himself.
Naturally, he did not believe it!
Earlier, Ji Xuan’s soul was completely shattered, yet you could still repair it. And Xiao Jia’s soul is still intact!
The Human Sword Lord suddenly smiled. “After all, this is only a strand of sword energy I left behind here. It cannot exist for too long!”
Hearing this, Ye Guan sighed softly.
He felt a little disappointed.
Go to the main academy of Guanxuan Academy?
He did not really want to go!
The Human Sword Lord gently brushed the dust off Ye Guan’s shoulder and smiled lightly. “Little fellow, I have to go!”
There was a trace of reluctance in his eyes.
Ye Guan looked at the Human Sword Lord and said seriously, “Senior, I will definitely become a sword cultivator as powerful as you!”
Hearing this, the Human Sword Lord was slightly stunned. Then he said, “You want to become a sword cultivator as powerful as me?”
Ye Guan nodded and said seriously, “You are my goal in life!”
Goal in life!
The Human Sword Lord suddenly froze. The next moment, he burst into wild laughter!
His laughter was like thunder, echoing between heaven and earth!
In that moment, the entire Qingzhou heard the voice of the Human Sword Lord!
At the same time, the Sword of the Path in the Human Sword Lord’s hand suddenly trembled violently!
And in the deepest part of the distant universe, an ancient and vicissitudinous voice suddenly rang out. “I never thought you would break through to godhood in this way… Will you take this step?”
Take the step?
Or not?
At the peak of Canglan Mountain, the Human Sword Lord laughed with extreme joy.
In that moment, he suddenly felt that everything he had done before was worth it!
As a father, what brings the greatest happiness? Of course it is being recognised by your own son and seen as an idol.
In this moment, he was proud!
Extremely proud!
More proud than becoming the Human Sword Lord!
More proud than breaking through to godhood!
At that moment, Ye Guan asked with some confusion, “Senior?”
The Human Sword Lord gently rubbed Ye Guan’s head and laughed loudly. “Little fellow, keep going!”
With that, his body gradually became illusory.
He did not break through to godhood in that moment!
Although he only needed to take one step forward to break through to godhood, he did not do it!
He wanted to protect this little fellow for a while longer!
Otherwise, if the burden fell on this little fellow right now, how much suffering would the little fellow have to endure?
He could not be as heartless as a certain someone back then!
Looking at the Human Sword Lord becoming more and more illusory, Ye Guan’s expression was complicated.
At that moment, the Human Sword Lord smiled. “Keep working hard. I believe you can become an outstanding sword cultivator like me!”
Ye Guan nodded seriously. “I definitely will!”
“Haha!”
The Human Sword Lord laughed loudly. What an excellent young man! Truly worthy of being his son!
As if he thought of something, the Human Sword Lord suddenly looked at the silent Ji Xuan beside him. He opened his palm, and a strand of white light entered the space between Ji Xuan’s brows.
Ji Xuan was stunned.
The Human Sword Lord smiled. “This is an inheritance from an old friend. I hope it helps you!”
Ji Xuan immediately bowed deeply. “Many thanks, Sword Lord!”
The Human Sword Lord smiled faintly, then looked at Ye Guan. “Little fellow, until we meet again!”
With that, he completely disappeared.
At the spot, Ye Guan remained silent!
He was gone!
At that moment, a golden light suddenly arrived in front of Ye Guan.
It was the small tower!
Ye Guan was shocked. “Tower Grandpa?”
The small tower said calmly, “Mm!”
Ye Guan asked, “Tower Grandpa, are you alright?”
The small tower said lightly, “What could possibly happen to me? I was just catching up with the Human Sword Lord!”
With that, it turned into a golden light and entered Ye Guan’s body!
Catching up!
Ye Guan said softly, “Tower Grandpa, you really know the Human Sword Lord. I always thought you were bragging!”
The small tower remained silent.
It really wanted to say, I not only know the Human Sword Lord, I know your entire family, and very well too!
Seeing that Tower Grandpa did not speak, Ye Guan did not ask any more questions. He turned and walked to Ji Xuan. Just as he was about to speak, Ji Xuan suddenly looked up at him. “I am leaving!”
Hearing this, Ye Guan was stunned!
Ji Xuan stared at Ye Guan for a moment, then said, “You do not need to feel you owe me anything. Liking you is my own matter. And liking you does not mean you have to like me. You… take care!”
With that, she flashed away and disappeared not far off.
At the spot, Ye Guan stood frozen.
He wanted to say something, but in the end he could not say anything.
At the spot, Ye Guan remained silent for a long time.
At that moment, the small tower suddenly said, “Do you like her?”
Ye Guan remained silent.
The small tower wanted to say more, but Ye Guan suddenly said, “I miss home a little!”
Home!
Nanzhou!
Ye Guan turned and walked down the mountain. Although his injuries had mostly recovered, and thanks to whatever energy the Human Sword Lord had used, his arm had also been restored completely.
Under the gaze of everyone in the entire Qingzhou Academy, Ye Guan slowly walked down the mountain!
At this time, naturally no one dared to stop him!
Next, how would the noble family faction and the sect faction treat Ye Guan?
Countless people both in the open and in the shadows were curious!
Of course, one thing was certain. It would not be long before the academy’s wanted order against Ye Guan would be cancelled!
At that moment, Ye Guan, who had reached the foot of the mountain, suddenly turned his head and looked at a young man nearby. “Where is the Immortal Treasure Pavilion?”
To return to Nanzhou, he naturally needed to use a teleportation array!
The young man hesitated for a moment, then said, “Young Master Ye, I will take you there!”
With that, he soared into the air and led the way ahead!
Ye Guan rode his sword and followed the young man, disappearing into the distant sky.
In the field, everyone looked at each other.
Soon, Ye Guan followed the young man to the Immortal Treasure Pavilion. As soon as they arrived, an old man walked out!
Ye Guan looked at the old man. “I want to go to Nanzhou!”
The old man hesitated for a moment, then said, “Young Master Ye, you are still on our Immortal Treasure Pavilion’s blacklist. We cannot serve you!”
Ye Guan fell silent.
….
“Brother Shen!”
“Mm!”
As Shen Changqing walked along the road, whenever he met someone he knew, they would greet each other or nod.
But no matter who it was.
Everyone’s face showed no extra expression, as if they were indifferent to everything.
Shen Changqing was already used to this.
Because this was the Demon Suppression Division, an organisation dedicated to maintaining the stability of Great Qin. Its main duty was to slay demons and strange entities, though it also handled some side businesses.
It could be said that every person in the Demon Suppression Division had their hands stained with a great deal of blood.
When a person has seen enough of life and death, they become indifferent to many things.
When Shen Changqing first arrived in this world, he found it hard to adjust. But over time, he gradually got used to it.
The Demon Suppression Division was very large.
Those who could stay in the Demon Suppression Division were either powerful experts or people with the potential to become experts.
Shen Changqing belonged to the latter group.
Within the Demon Suppression Division, there were two professions: one was the Guardian Envoy, and the other was the Demon Subduer.
Anyone who entered the Demon Suppression Division started from the lowest rank of Demon Subduer,
and then advanced step by step, with the hope of eventually becoming a Guardian Envoy.
Shen Changqing’s predecessor was an apprentice Demon Subduer in the Demon Suppression Division, the lowest rank among Demon Subduers.
Having the memories of his predecessor,
he was very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It did not take long before Shen Changqing stopped in front of a pavilion.
Unlike the other places in the Demon Suppression Division that were filled with killing intent, this pavilion stood out like a crane among chickens. Amid the blood-soaked Demon Suppression Division, it presented an unusual sense of tranquility.
At that moment, the doors of the pavilion were wide open, with people occasionally coming in and out.
Shen Changqing hesitated only for a moment before stepping inside.
Upon entering the pavilion,
the atmosphere changed abruptly.
A scent of ink mixed with a faint trace of blood hit him in the face. His brows instinctively furrowed, but they quickly relaxed again.
The bloody smell that clung to every person in the Demon Suppression Division was almost impossible to wash away completely.
