“Seen the young master!”
In the field, hundreds of thousands of powerhouses knelt in unison. Their voices shook the star river and made it boil.
On that massive starship, Martial Elder took one step forward. The moment his foot landed, he was already standing before Ye Guan.
Martial Elder was about to kneel, but Ye Guan stopped him.
Ye Guan said softly, “Martial Elder is the person my mother trusts the most. There is no need for such empty formalities.”
Yet Martial Elder still slowly knelt down. He spoke respectfully, “Young master, this subordinate arrived late to protect you. I deserve death ten thousand times over.”
Ye Guan helped Martial Elder up, then said, “Let us set those things aside for now. Deal with the matter at hand first!”
Martial Elder gave a slight nod. He turned to look at the middle-aged man in the distance. Staring at him, Martial Elder roared in anger, “Elder Yu, the pavilion master treated you well. Why did you betray her?”
Elder Yu gave a light laugh and was about to speak when Ye Guan suddenly said, “Kill him. He is trying to stall for time.”
Kill him!
Everyone was stunned.
All around, the powerhouses of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion also froze in place. Then they turned to look at Martial Elder.
Ye Guan’s expression remained as calm as water. He said nothing.
But Martial Elder’s face changed dramatically. “What are you all standing there for? The young master said to kill him! Hurry up and do it!”
As he spoke, cold sweat was already dripping down his face.
You bastards, do not drag this old man down with you!
If this young master turns out to have a petty heart, with you lot acting like this, this old man would be finished!
Hearing Martial Elder’s words, the powerhouses in the field finally snapped back to reality. They immediately charged towards Elder Yu and the others.
Martial Elder secretly glanced at Ye Guan. Seeing Ye Guan’s expression still calm as water without the slightest ripple, his heart instantly sank halfway.
It was not that he was overthinking. Having spent time in the Milky Way Galaxy, he knew very well that those who held their own troops usually did not end up with good fates.
Especially this time, when a traitor had appeared within the Martial Pavilion. If he had not sensed something was wrong and personally led people to chase after them, the consequences would have been unthinkable.
In the distance, Elder Yu’s brows immediately furrowed. He stared at Ye Guan. A trace of shock rose in his heart. He had not expected this young pavilion master to be so decisive in killing. He did not give him any time to stall at all.
But right then, a sudden change occurred in the field.
Boom!
In front of Elder Yu, spacetime suddenly tore open. Then, a blade beam fiercely slashed out from the cracked spacetime.
Sizzle!
In an instant, the hundreds of Immortal Treasure Pavilion powerhouses who had charged forward were directly shattered into nothingness by this single blade beam!
Everyone was horrified.
At that moment, a woman slowly walked out under everyone’s gaze. She looked very young, only around twenty years old. She wore a green skirt over a purple robe. Her features were as delicate as a painting, her skin as white as snow. A head of deep blue long hair fell to her slender waist. At her right waist hung a black short sword in its sheath. On the hilt of the short sword dangled two small bells.
Behind the woman followed a hunchbacked old man. The old man was thin and gaunt, his head full of messy white hair. In his left hand he held a sheathed long knife. His left hand, which gripped the knife, had only four fingers.
That previous blade strike had come from him!
Beside Ye Guan, Dark Hidden stared fixedly at the hunchbacked old man. “Divine Emperor!”
Hearing this, Ye Guan’s brows immediately furrowed.
Another divine emperor?
Damn it!
Has the True World gone mad?
If you keep playing like this, I really cannot hold on!
Ye Guan roared inwardly, “Tower Master, I do not want to work hard anymore! I want to call for help. I want to call Plain Skirt Auntie!”
Little Tower thought for a moment, then advised, “Do not be like that. Although they are indeed going a bit too far, there is no need to call for help. Once you get addicted to calling people, it will be hard to handle later.”
Ye Guan blinked. “Tower Master’s meaning is that Plain Skirt Auntie can completely overpower a divine emperor, right?”
Hearing this, Little Tower immediately trembled as it said, “Are you a devil?”
Even at a time like this, this bastard was still trying to trap me?
Who could withstand this?
You did not inherit the good traits. Instead, you inherited every bit of cunning from your father and your mother!
Too outrageous!
Ye Guan actually laughed. Clearly, he had underestimated Plain Skirt Auntie’s strength.
The reason he asked that question was to probe Plain Skirt Auntie’s strength. Because up to now, none of the powerhouses he had seen gave him the same feeling as Plain Skirt Auntie.
What feeling?
The feeling of invincibility!
He felt that Plain Skirt Auntie would not even need a second sword to kill someone.
And the powerhouses appearing now were definitely stronger than Great Sword Emperors. That meant Plain Skirt Auntie’s strength was very likely far above that of a divine emperor.
Above divine emperor!
Ye Guan thought for a moment, then asked again, “Tower Master, how many divine emperors can Plain Skirt Auntie handle?”
Little Tower roared, “Ten trillion!”
Ye Guan had black lines all over his face. “You are starting to be unserious again.”
Little Tower: “…”
In the distance, after the divine woman appeared, she sized up Ye Guan from afar. Then the corner of her mouth lifted slightly. She transmitted her voice with profound energy to the old man beside her. “Master Yu, later I will trick that kid over here. You find the right moment and finish him off with one blade!”
The knife-wielding old man glanced at Ye Guan in the distance but said nothing.
The woman looked at Ye Guan, beckoned with her hand, and showed a brilliant smile. “Hey, that handsome human lad over there, can you come over and chat?”
In the distance, Ye Guan pulled his thoughts back and looked at the divine woman. He was stunned. “Me?”
The divine woman smiled. “Yes!”
Ye Guan glanced at the old man behind the divine woman. The divine woman pursed her lips and smiled. “You are the young master of Guanxuan Academy. You are not afraid, are you?”
Ye Guan smiled. “How should I address the lady?”
The divine woman blinked. “Come over here, and I will tell you!”
Ye Guan stared at the divine woman. “My Tower Master says you have killing intent. He told me not to go over. I listen to my Tower Master!”
Little Tower: “…”
The divine woman said seriously, “I am not that kind of person. I would never do something so despicable and shameless.”
Ye Guan stared at the divine woman. “Was this entire incident planned by you?”
The divine woman was a little surprised. “Why do you say that?”
Ye Guan said calmly, “A divine emperor follows behind you, and he is so respectful. Your identity must be quite extraordinary. So I made a guess. But judging from your expression, I seem to have guessed correctly.”
Hearing this, the expressions of all the Guanxuan Academy powerhouses in the field immediately became grave.
So this woman in front of them was the true mastermind?
The divine woman sized up Ye Guan and smiled. “You humans really are quite clever.”
Ye Guan looked at the woman without speaking. In his heart, however, he was extremely wary.
Beautiful women were the best at deceiving men. One deception after another. He had to be careful!
Beside him, Dark Hidden said gravely, “Young master, she may be stalling for time. We need to withdraw!”
Ye Guan, however, shook his head. “It is too late.”
Dark Hidden was stunned.
In the distance, the divine woman gave a slight smile. “I have to say, there were really many unexpected things this time. The first unexpected thing was you. I truly did not expect you to be the son of the Human Sword Lord. It was far too surprising. And the second unexpected thing was that the Guanxuan Universe still has so many top-tier powerhouses we did not know about!”
As she spoke, she gave a light laugh, then continued, “No matter what, you still need to be killed to avoid you growing up in the future. After all, right now you are much easier to kill.”
Ye Guan glanced at Li Ban Zhi beside him. Li Ban Zhi’s expression remained calm.
Seeing Li Ban Zhi so calm, Ye Guan immediately felt relieved in his heart.
Aunt Zhi was calm, which meant there was definitely still a big shot hidden in the shadows.
Ye Guan was no longer anxious. He looked at the divine woman and said calmly, “You still have not acted even now. If I am not mistaken, you are still waiting. Waiting for a… divine emperor! Right?”
The divine woman blinked. “You guessed?”
Ye Guan nodded.
The divine woman gave a thumbs-up. “You really can guess.”
Ye Guan’s face darkened. In his heart he said, “Tower Master, you should be able to take on a divine emperor, right?”
Little Tower said calmly, “No. You need to understand, I am just a tower.”
Ye Guan suddenly said, “What about the senior inside the tower?”
Little Tower had just opened its mouth, but quickly stopped. This bastard was trying to trick information again.
The mysterious voice laughed. “This little fellow has at least eight hundred tricks up his sleeve!”
Little Tower laughed. “Too many big shots have appeared. This little bastard is starting to panic a bit now.”
The mysterious voice said, “That is normal. When has he ever seen a scene like this? Honestly, I am already very surprised that he can stay so calm right now without losing his composure.”
Little Tower said softly, “Indeed.”
In the distance, the divine woman suddenly said, “Do you want to come over and chat?”
Ye Guan looked at the divine woman. The divine woman smiled. “I swear on my true god status that I will absolutely not strike you from behind.”
Ye Guan said calmly, “Can we not chat right now?”
The divine woman laughed charmingly. “You really are cautious, aren’t you?”
As she spoke, she suddenly turned to look at the knife-wielding old man beside her. “Old Yu, kill him. Go all out. Do not hold anything back. Give him the most ruthless strike.”
Yet the knife-wielding old man shook his head.
The divine woman furrowed her brows slightly. “There is someone on their side?”
Old Yu glanced at the divine woman. Do you really not know whether there is someone or not?
The divine woman looked towards a certain spot and smiled. “The top powerhouses from the True Void World have all been pinned down by us. Yet they still have so many powerhouses… Why did these people not come out to fight in that battle back then?”
Old Yu remained silent.
The divine woman thought for a moment, then said, “Since you do not have absolute confidence, then wait a little longer!”
As she spoke, she looked at Ye Guan. “I refuse to believe he has so many people behind him!”
In the distance, Ye Guan looked at Martial Elder beside him. “Martial Elder, do you have any more trump cards?”
Martial Elder said gravely, “I do!”
Ye Guan’s eyes immediately lit up. Then Martial Elder added, “But I did not bring it to the Zhou Realm.”
Ye Guan’s face immediately darkened.
You do not carry your trump card with you?
What are you even doing!
Martial Elder gave a bitter smile. “It is not that I did not bring it. It is that I could not bring it. Moreover, that trump card can only be used by you.”
Ye Guan frowned slightly. “Only I can use it?”
Martial Elder nodded. “Back then, the pavilion master forged some Guanxuan Divine Generals. And they only obey the pavilion master’s orders…”
As he spoke, he paused for a moment, then continued, “The pavilion master’s little pouch should be in your hands, right?”
Ye Guan was a little confused. “What little pouch?”
Martial Elder was stunned. “It is not with you?”
Ye Guan nodded. “No.”
Martial Elder furrowed his brows. “That should not be. The pavilion master said it was left for you.”
Ye Guan asked in his heart, “Tower Master, is there a little pouch?”
Little Tower replied, “There is!”
Ye Guan was stunned, then said, “Why did you not give it to me?”
Little Tower said, “You never asked for it!”
Ye Guan’s face immediately darkened. “Tower Master, have you ever been beaten by my father and my grandfather before?”
Little Tower: “…”
Just then, from within the spacetime tunnel behind the divine woman in the distance, a powerful aura surged forth. Then, a white-robed middle-aged man slowly walked out.
Divine Emperor!
Another divine emperor!
The divine woman looked at Ye Guan and said seriously, “Old Yu, kill him. Go all out. Give him the most ruthless strike!”
Hearing the divine woman’s words, Ye Guan’s face immediately darkened.
Damn it!
You woman are truly vicious!
Hearing the divine woman’s words, Old Yu suddenly took a step forward and struck with a blade.
Sizzle!
With this blade strike, the star river was directly extinguished.
Ye Guan quickly looked at Li Ban Zhi. Li Ban Zhi blinked. “Why are you looking at me? I am a civil official. I do not know how to fight!”
Ye Guan: “…”
