Ye Guan stood quietly in the same spot.
He watched Ji Xuan walk further and further away until she disappeared from sight.
A long time passed before Ye Guan said softly, “The wind is really strong!”
With that, he rubbed his eyes and turned to leave.
Inside the small tower, the mysterious voice suddenly said, “I finally know what his weakness is!”
The small tower asked, “What do you mean?”
The mysterious voice said softly, “All along, this little fellow has had top-tier talent and temperament in the world, almost without any flaws. But now, I realise his greatest weakness is emotion. Only when facing matters of the heart does he lower his head and hesitate.”
The small tower said softly, “But I do not think that is a weakness!”
The mysterious voice asked, “Why?”
The small tower replied, “If he only knew how to cultivate the sword and had no emotion in his heart, that would truly be a pity!”
The mysterious voice fell silent.
After Ye Guan returned to the Sword Sect, he came before the statue of the Azure Shirt Sword Lord. He looked at the statue in silence.
The small tower suddenly asked softly, “What is wrong?”
Ye Guan smiled. “Tower Master, who is stronger, the Azure Shirt Sword Lord or the Human Sword Lord?”
The small tower laughed. “Who do you think is stronger?”
Ye Guan shook his head with a smile. “I do not know!”
The small tower laughed heartily and said, “In the future, when you meet them, you can ask them yourself!”
Ye Guan nodded. “Good!”
At that moment, Chen Guanzi suddenly walked up beside Ye Guan. He looked at Ye Guan. “Are you ready?”
Ye Guan nodded. “I am ready!”
Chen Guanzi gave a slight nod. “Good!”
Night fell.
Ye Guan sat at the entrance of the Sword Sect’s Sword Hall. The sky was filled with stars.
Ye Guan suddenly asked, “Tower Master, what kind of world is the Void Truth World?”
The small tower was silent for a moment before saying, “A battlefield!”
Ye Guan frowned slightly. “A battlefield?”
The small tower said, “Yes.”
Ye Guan was about to ask more when footsteps suddenly came from the side.
Ye Guan turned his head. There stood a woman in a green long dress. Her long hair draped over her shoulders, hands behind her back. She looked at him with a smiling face.
Ye Guan was stunned.
The woman smiled. “Junior Brother Ye!”
It was Nan Ling Yi Yi!
Ye Guan smiled. “Senior Sister Yi Yi!”
Nan Ling Yi Yi walked up beside Ye Guan and sat next to him. She smiled. “Surprised?”
Ye Guan nodded. “Yes! Why are you at the main campus?”
Nan Ling Yi Yi said, “That day I left the Dao Sect and came to the Profound Observing Academy’s main campus. In the end, I was accepted as a student by the Divine Dao Academy. Moreover, I became the personal disciple of the Divine Dao Academy’s head! Before you arrived, I was in secluded cultivation, so I did not know. As soon as I came out of seclusion and heard news about you, I came to find you!”
Ye Guan smiled. “Congratulations!”
Nan Ling Yi Yi smiled. “It is all thanks to the two cultivation techniques you gave me!”
She continued seriously, “Junior Brother Ye, let me tell you. When they saw my cultivation method, the elders of the Divine Dao Academy were so excited they could not contain themselves. They immediately contacted the head, and then the head took me as his disciple. Junior Brother Ye, your Tower Master must be an extremely, extremely powerful figure!”
“Haha!”
The small tower immediately burst into laughter!
This little girl was good!
Ye Guan smiled. “Tower Master is indeed very powerful!”
That Profound Observing Universe Technique had truly shocked him. There was no denying it. Tower Master was genuinely strong, though sometimes not serious when fooling people.
Nan Ling Yi Yi suddenly looked up towards the depths of the starry sky and smiled. “Junior Brother Ye, it is really good to see you!”
Ye Guan gave a faint smile. “The same for me!”
Nan Ling Yi Yi turned her head to look at Ye Guan. She tucked her hair behind her ear and simply stared at him without speaking.
Ye Guan felt a little uncomfortable being stared at. He said softly, “Senior Sister?”
Nan Ling Yi Yi smiled. “It is nothing. I just wanted to look at you!”
Ye Guan shook his head with a smile.
Nan Ling Yi Yi suddenly stood up. She smiled. “Junior Brother, I am leaving! Tomorrow I will come to cheer for you!”
Ye Guan nodded. “Good!”
Nan Ling Yi Yi walked towards the distance.
Ye Guan watched Nan Ling Yi Yi’s departing figure without speaking.
Not long after leaving the courtyard, Nan Ling Yi Yi stopped. In front of her stood a woman in white.
The woman looked at Nan Ling Yi Yi. “He is the one you like?”
Nan Ling Yi Yi nodded. “Yes.”
The woman in white glanced at Ye Guan in the distant courtyard and remained silent.
Nan Ling Yi Yi said softly, “Master, let us go!”
The woman in white looked at Nan Ling Yi Yi. “Since you like him, why not tell him?”
Nan Ling Yi Yi said softly, “Liking someone does not mean you have to say it out loud. I think the way things are now is quite good. As a senior sister, I can quietly stay by his side. He will never reject me!”
The woman in white sighed softly. She took Nan Ling Yi Yi’s hand and turned to walk into the distance!
Nan Ling Yi Yi suddenly said, “Master, tomorrow’s great battle. Will Lu Tian and the others play tricks?”
The woman in white said calmly, “They had better not. Otherwise…”
A cold light flashed in her eyes. “They will all die!”
At the Sword Sect’s entrance, Ye Guan was about to stand and leave when another woman approached!
Seeing who it was, Ye Guan was stunned.
Ao Qianqian!
The young clan leader of the Heavenly Dragon Clan!
Ye Guan looked at Ao Qianqian with some surprise. “Miss Qianqian…”
Ao Qianqian walked up to Ye Guan and spoke softly for a few moments. Ye Guan fell silent.
Ao Qianqian looked at Ye Guan. “Some things you may not need, but it is best to have them!”
Ye Guan smiled. “Then many thanks!”
Ao Qianqian smiled. “Why be polite?”
Ye Guan nodded. “Let us go!”
The two of them left.
The next day.
A woman arrived at the Immortal Treasure Pavilion. The Immortal Treasure Pavilion was now packed with people.
Everyone was placing bets!
Naturally, they were betting on who would win between Ye Guan and Lu Tian!
The Immortal Treasure Pavilion would naturally not miss such a chance to make money.
The betting odds for Ye Guan and Lu Tian were worlds apart.
Betting on Ye Guan to win was one to one hundred.
Betting on Lu Tian to win was one to one.
Even a blind person could see that the Immortal Treasure Pavilion was strongly backing Lu Tian.
At that moment, a woman walked up to an Immortal Treasure Pavilion manager. She took out a storage ring and placed it in front of the old man. “Bet on Ye Guan. Fifty million gold crystals!”
Fifty million gold crystals on Ye Guan?
As soon as those words were spoken, everyone in the field froze. They all turned to look at the woman in disbelief.
In front of the woman, the Immortal Treasure Pavilion manager was also stunned. He hesitated, then said, “Miss, are you sure you did not bet on the wrong side?”
The woman said calmly, “No!”
The manager glanced at the woman and was about to say more when the woman added, “I did not bet wrong! Hurry up!”
The manager said nothing more. He took out a token, picked up a pen, wrote “fifty million, gold crystals” on the token, and handed it to the woman.
The woman put away the token and turned to leave!
The woman was none other than Fei Banqing!
In the field, everyone watched Fei Banqing leave and shook their heads.
“This is what they call rich and foolish!”
“It really makes people angry. She actually thinks Ye Guan can defeat the Child of Destiny. How ridiculous!”
“Does she not know what the Child of Destiny is?”
In the field, Fei Banqing ignored the crowd and walked away quickly.
Trial Peak.
The sky was not yet fully bright, but the stone pillars around the Life-and-Death Platform were already packed with people.
Dense crowds, endless noise.
Today was the great battle!
To secure a good position, many people had arrived three days earlier.
At that moment, space suddenly cracked open on the Life-and-Death Platform. Immediately afterwards, a man slowly walked out!
It was Lu Tian!
Today, Lu Tian wore an azure shirt and white robe. His long hair draped over his shoulders, hands behind his back. His posture was straight, like a deity descending to the mortal world. His bearing was peerless.
As soon as he appeared, the entire field boiled over!
“Child of Destiny!”
Countless people suddenly roared in unison!
The facts proved that the Immortal Treasure Pavilion’s promotion had been extremely effective. Lu Tian’s popularity was truly immense. It could be said to be countless times higher than Ye Yu Sword Emperor back in his day.
After all, it was promoted across the entire universe!
Lu Tian stood with his hands behind his back, eyes slightly closed, silent.
All around, cheers rose wave after wave, shaking the nine heavens.
Buzz!
At that moment, a sword cry suddenly resounded from the horizon. Immediately afterwards, hundreds of sword lights flew in from the sky!
The Sword Sect!
Everyone in the field looked towards those sword lights.
Soon, a man appeared on a stone pillar hundreds of zhang in front of Lu Tian.
It was Ye Guan!
Behind Ye Guan, hundreds of sword cultivators landed together. Leading them was none other than Chen Guanzi!
Ye Guan suddenly looked to his right. On a stone pillar to the right, he saw the group of powerhouses from the Time Cave Heaven and the Spirit Ruins Divine Land. Leading them were Nan Liyin and Zhang Yuntian!
Seeing the two clans, Ye Guan cupped his fists and grinned.
Nan Liyin gave a faint smile and nodded.
Zhang Yuntian clenched his right hand into a fist and made a cheering gesture.
Ye Guan smiled, then withdrew his gaze. At that moment, as if noticing something, he suddenly looked to the left. On a distant stone pillar to the left, he saw a familiar person.
Xiao Ge!
Seeing Xiao Ge, Ye Guan was immediately stunned!
Seeing Ye Guan’s gaze, Xiao Ge laughed heartily. “Brother Ye, I came to cheer for you!”
Ye Guan smiled. “Many thanks, Brother Xiao!”
Xiao Ge smiled and said nothing more.
Ye Guan looked around again. Soon, he saw Nan Ling Yi Yi. When she saw Ye Guan looking over, Nan Ling Yi Yi immediately grinned brightly like a flower.
Ye Guan gave a faint smile, waved at her, then looked to the right. On another stone pillar to the right, he saw yet another familiar person!
The chief disciple of Qingzhou Academy, Mu Youyou!
The woman who dual-cultivated divine techniques and sword!
Seeing Ye Guan’s gaze, Mu Youyou was slightly stunned, then nodded in greeting.
Ye Guan smiled faintly, then turned his head. Soon, he froze again.
On another stone pillar to the right, he saw yet another familiar person!
A woman in a white dress, beautiful as a celestial being. Standing there, she exuded an otherworldly aura that made others feel unworthy.
This woman was the one who had given him the Time Vessel back when he was travelling to Qingzhou!
Seeing this woman, Ye Guan was very surprised.
When she saw Ye Guan looking over, the woman was first stunned. She hesitated, then gave a slight nod in greeting.
Ye Guan smiled faintly. He looked around once more. When he did not see a certain person, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
At that moment, Lu Tian on the Life-and-Death Platform suddenly opened his eyes. He pointed at Ye Guan and laughed loudly. “Ye Guan, come down and die!”
Come down and die!
In an instant, the entire field boiled over. One roar after another rang out endlessly!
Let you squat until your legs go numb!
