Zhou Realm, Little Guan City.
When Ye Guan and the others arrived at Little Guan City, Ye Guan was instantly stunned by the city before him.
The entire city wall stood ten thousand zhang tall!
Ten thousand zhang!
The whole wall seemed to connect directly with the heavens!
Its width stretched beyond sight!
The entire wall was built from an unknown golden stone. Its surface was covered with countless mysterious runes as tiny as ants, densely packed. Every single rune emitted a mysterious power.
Beyond that, every hundred zhang along the wall stood a giant tower. Each tower rose a full thousand zhang high, surrounded by flashing lightning. They looked extremely intimidating.
Moreover, beside every tower stood a towering giant clad in armour.
These sky-holding giants were each a thousand zhang tall. They gripped massive swords and wore dark golden armour. Standing there, they exuded an overwhelming sense of oppression.
On the first layer of the city wall alone, there were fully tens of thousands of such sky-holding giants!
In addition, high above the entire city floated a light curtain. The curtain spread like an umbrella, enveloping the whole of Little Guan City. From time to time, golden light poured down from the curtain and transformed into layers of protective armour that shielded the city.
Shocking!
Looking at Little Guan City before him, not only was Ye Guan deeply shaken. Even some powerhouses from the Guanxuan Universe who had never been here before were utterly stunned.
At that moment, the thousand-zhang-wide city gate suddenly swung open. Immediately after, a group of white-robed elders walked out first. There were about thirty of them, each holding a black jade staff.
Beside Ye Guan, Martial Elder quickly explained, “Young Lord, these are the Divine Hall. They are all divine technique masters of our Immortal Treasure Pavilion. The lowest among them are at the Emperor realm. The reason they did not come to greet you is that I ordered them to stay here and guard the Zhou Realm. There are traitors inside the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, so they needed to hold the fort!”
Ye Guan nodded slightly and said nothing.
At that moment, the thirty white-robed elders walked up to Ye Guan. All thirty knelt in unison and said respectfully, “Greetings to the Young Pavilion Lord!”
Young Pavilion Lord!
Ye Guan nodded slightly. “Rise.”
The thirty stood up. They looked at Ye Guan with great curiosity in their hearts.
The Young Pavilion Lord!
This was Pavilion Master’s son!
The group of divine technique masters sized up Ye Guan, their faces full of smiles.
They had been raised by Qin Guan. Toward Qin Guan, their loyalty was absolute. Naturally, they also respected Qin Guan’s son.
The Immortal Treasure Pavilion!
It could only be inherited by Qin Guan’s son. No one else would do!
At that moment, the ground suddenly trembled!
From within the city wall, a group of powerhouses clad in dark armour marched out together. There were about a hundred thousand of them. Each held a shield in the left hand and a spear in the right. Powerful auras emanated from their bodies.
Leading them was a middle-aged man with a square face. His gaze carried an imposing sharpness. Beside him stood a young man. Right now, this young man was curiously sizing up Ye Guan.
Beside Ye Guan, Martial Elder quickly introduced, “Young Lord, this is the Grand Marshal of the Dao Soldiers, Zhen Guan.”
Zhen Guan led the group of Dao Soldiers and walked up to Ye Guan. He glanced at Ye Guan, then gave a slight bow and said calmly, “Subordinate greets the Young Lord!”
Behind him, the hundred thousand Dao Soldiers also gave slight bows and said in unison, “Greetings to the Young Lord.”
They did not perform the kneeling salute!
Seeing this, Martial Elder and the others immediately furrowed their brows.
By rights, they should have performed the kneeling salute.
Li Ban Zhi from Guanxuan Academy also frowned. This was somewhat against protocol.
Ye Guan said nothing about it. He smiled and said, “No need for such formality!”
Zhen Guan straightened up. However, the people behind him remained bowed.
Ye Guan looked toward those Dao Soldiers and smiled. “Everyone, no need for formality.”
Yet those Dao Soldiers ignored Ye Guan and looked toward Zhen Guan!
Zhen Guan remained expressionless. “Rise!”
As his voice fell, the hundred thousand Dao Soldiers straightened up in unison.
Seeing this scene, Li Ban Zhi’s gaze instantly turned cold. The group of Guanxuan Academy powerhouses beside her also turned cold in an instant!
Martial Elder and the group of divine technique masters beside Ye Guan also looked somewhat ugly!
Was this meant to give the Young Pavilion Lord a show of power?
Yet Ye Guan’s expression remained calm as water. He looked at Zhen Guan before him. Zhen Guan’s expression was also very calm.
Ye Guan suddenly turned to Martial Elder. “Kill them.”
Martial Elder looked utterly shocked.
Everyone else also froze.
Zhen Guan stared at Ye Guan without speaking.
Behind him, however, the group of Dao Soldiers grew furious!
They glared angrily at Ye Guan!
Ye Guan looked at Martial Elder and smiled. “Cannot do it?”
Martial Elder hesitated for a moment, then said, “Young Lord, this…”
Ye Guan suddenly turned to Li Ban Zhi. “Aunt Zhi, let us go to the Void True Battlefield.”
Li Ban Zhi nodded. “Alright!”
Dark Nether immediately waved toward the right side and directly opened a space-time tunnel.
Ye Guan did not hesitate at all. He turned and walked toward the space-time tunnel!
Seeing this, Martial Elder’s expression changed drastically. He quickly stepped in front of Ye Guan and said in a trembling voice, “Young Lord, this…”
Ye Guan glanced at Martial Elder and said nothing. He continued walking toward the distant space-time tunnel.
At that moment, the young man beside Zhen Guan suddenly chuckled lightly. “The Young Lord is truly impressive! He has not even taken his position yet, but he already wants to kill my hundred thousand Dao Soldiers to show off his might. Truly impressive!”
Hearing the young man’s words, the group of Guanxuan Academy powerhouses on Ye Guan’s side immediately flew into rage. Chen Guan Zi looked toward that young man. “Since you like speaking such dark words so much, why not go straight to the underworld!”
As his voice fell…
Sizzle!
A streak of sword light suddenly tore through the field!
The young man’s eyes narrowed slightly. He was about to act, but Zhen Guan suddenly stepped forward and swept his sleeve.
Boom!
That sword light was directly blocked.
At that moment, the people behind Ye Guan locked onto Zhen Guan and the others with their divine sense!
Behind Zhen Guan, the group of Dao Soldiers immediately stepped forward together. A powerful momentum enveloped the Guanxuan Academy powerhouses.
Seeing this scene, Martial Elder and the others’ expressions changed greatly. Yet Ye Guan beside them suddenly said, “Senior Brother, let us go.”
Go?
Chen Guan Zi fell silent.
Naturally, he was furious!
Who did the Immortal Treasure Pavilion belong to?
Qin Guan’s!
Now that Pavilion Master Qin was absent, these people actually dared to give Ye Guan a show of power.
Were they bullying him because Ye Guan’s parents were not around?
Thinking of this, Chen Guan Zi suddenly shook his head. “Junior Brother Ye, you may be able to endure this, but my Sword Sect cannot!”
With that, he suddenly stepped forward. In an instant, he turned into a streak of sword light and charged straight toward Zhen Guan.
Zhen Guan’s eyes narrowed slightly. He stepped forward, twisted his wrist, and a long spear shot through the air at extreme speed.
Boom!
With a deafening explosion that shook the surroundings, a burst of sword light and spear glow erupted violently. Zhen Guan and Chen Guan Zi both retreated repeatedly.
The surrounding space-time shattered!
Chen Guan Zi and the others still wanted to act. Li Ban Zhi beside them suddenly said, “Stop!”
Chen Guan Zi looked toward Li Ban Zhi. Li Ban Zhi shook her head. “Listen to the Young Lord!”
Chen Guan Zi fell silent. The sword in his hand trembled violently.
Behind him, the group of sword cultivators were also furious beyond measure. This was truly too bullying!
At that moment, Ye Guan suddenly took out Qin Guan’s small cloth bag. He glanced at the small cloth bag in his hand, then opened his palm. The small cloth bag slowly fell to the ground.
Everyone froze!
Ye Guan looked toward Martial Elder. “Return this cloth bag to my mother. Tell her that I have suffered for so many years and have actually grown used to it. Although the Immortal Treasure Pavilion is very wealthy, I truly am not particularly attached to it. Rest assured, I will not come to destroy your interests. It is all yours. Everything is yours!”
With that, he turned and entered the space-time tunnel.
Li Ban Zhi glanced at Martial Elder and the others, then followed after him.
In the field, the group of Guanxuan Academy powerhouses also hurriedly followed.
Abandoning the Immortal Treasure Pavilion!
On the spot, Martial Elder looked at the small cloth bag before him. His face was pale as paper.
Beside him, Zhen Guan’s face looked somewhat gloomy. The young man next to him, however, sneered coldly and said in a low voice, “If he leaves, he leaves. Has the Immortal Treasure Pavilion not been fine without a Young Pavilion Lord for three million years?”
At that moment, beside the space-time tunnel, space-time suddenly split open. Then, a woman in green clothes slowly walked out. Behind the green-clothed woman followed hundreds of super powerhouses.
Ying Qing!
After Ying Qing appeared, she immediately walked to a spot not far from Ye Guan and slowly knelt on one knee. “Subordinate…”
Yet Ye Guan did not stop. He directly entered the space-time tunnel. Seeing this scene, Ying Qing’s face instantly turned pale as paper!
The group of Guanxuan Academy powerhouses also entered the opened space-time tunnel one after another. The tunnel trembled slightly. Ye Guan walked deeper into the distance. But at that moment, not far away, the small cloth bag suddenly trembled slightly. The next moment, under everyone’s gaze, a streak of white light slowly rose from inside the small cloth bag.
The white light condensed in mid-air into a woman!
The woman wore a short-sleeved cloth top and a cloth skirt below. On her feet were a pair of small cloth shoes. Very plain.
Seeing the woman, Ying Qing and all the Immortal Treasure Pavilion people in the field instantly changed expressions greatly. They all knelt down immediately. “Greetings to Pavilion Master!”
Pavilion Master!
Qin Guan!
Zhen Guan and the group of Dao Soldiers behind him also hurriedly knelt down in that moment. Their bodies trembled uncontrollably!
Pavilion Master Qin had actually appeared!
On the Guanxuan Academy side, everyone was also extremely surprised.
They had not expected Qin Guan to appear!
After a moment of hesitation, the Guanxuan Academy group also bowed. “Greetings to Main Mother!”
Although they were unhappy with the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, Qin Guan still deserved respect.
Qin Guan looked toward Ye Guan in the distance. At this moment, Ye Guan had stopped walking, but he did not turn around.
Qin Guan stared at Ye Guan and said softly, “Will you not turn around to look at me?”
After a moment of silence, Ye Guan said softly, “Although I am very poor, I truly never thought about inheriting anything. Whether it is the Immortal Treasure Pavilion or Guanxuan Academy, I really never cared about them. Actually, what I hoped for most was to have parents by my side since childhood…”
With that, he quickly disappeared into the distance.
On the spot, Li Ban Zhi glanced at Qin Guan, then led the group of Guanxuan Academy powerhouses and disappeared nearby.
Soon, the space-time tunnel vanished.
On the spot, Qin Guan lowered her head slightly.
Around her, the group of Immortal Treasure Pavilion powerhouses knelt on the ground, trembling in fear.
Ying Qing’s face was also pale as paper at this moment.
At that moment, Qin Guan suddenly raised her head and said softly, “I raised all of you not so that you could give my son attitude! Come!”
Boom!
Suddenly, heaven and earth split open. Dozens of mysterious powerhouses holding scythe blades descended from the sky.
At the same time, on the city wall, all the Guanxuan Divine Generals suddenly opened their eyes. In an instant, tens of thousands of Guanxuan Divine Generals leaped down from the wall.
Everyone in the field changed expressions drastically!
Qin Guan looked toward Ying Qing. “Return from where you came. Immediately!”
Ying Qing directly collapsed to the ground!
Qin Guan continued, “From this moment, the Martial Pavilion is immediately disbanded. All members of the Martial Pavilion will never be employed again in this lifetime!”
Hearing this, Martial Elder’s face turned pale as paper. Just as he was about to speak, a black-clothed powerhouse appeared in front of him. Without any nonsense, he directly dragged him away.
In the field, all the Martial Pavilion people were also dragged away one after another!
Ying Qing looked toward Qin Guan beside her. Just as she was about to speak, a scythe was already pressed against her throat. Then she was forcibly dragged away.
Beside them, Zhen Guan and the group of Dao Soldiers behind him were ashen-faced. They all lay on the ground, trembling uncontrollably.
Just as Zhen Guan was about to speak, Qin Guan suddenly said, “These Dao Soldiers are to be executed on the spot!”
In an instant, dozens of scythe blades flew and slashed through the field.
Sizzle…
In a flash, a hundred thousand blood-dripping heads soared into the sky. Blood instantly formed rivers.
