Gone!
Ye Guan watched the end of the starry river. By now, the three figures of the Human Sword Master were no longer visible.
His heart felt complicated.
They had just reunited, and now they were parting again!
There was still some reluctance in his heart!
At that moment, Nalan Jia walked to Ye Guan’s side. She took his hand and said softly, “I will stay with you!”
Ye Guan nodded. “Good!”
As if thinking of something, he suddenly asked, “Tower Grandpa, do I really have an older sister?”
He had to admit, he was genuinely surprised.
He never expected that he actually had an older sister!
The small tower replied, “Yes!”
Ye Guan frowned slightly. “Then why didn’t you tell me?”
The small tower said, “You never asked!”
Ye Guan’s face was full of black lines. You damn Tower Grandpa, if I do not ask, you do not say. You are really too much of a trap.
At that moment, the small tower spoke again. “Stop thinking about your older sister for now. You should think about how to deal with those gods instead!”
Gods!
Ye Guan quickly raised his head and looked into the distance. King An and the others had not left yet. At this moment, King An and the rest were also staring at him, their killing intent thick.
Fight now?
Ye Guan fell silent.
He had no confidence!
He had to stall for time and give himself a chance to develop in secret.
With this thought, Ye Guan said in his heart, “Tower Grandpa, can you call out my grandfather and have him help me carry this burden?”
Mysterious voice: “…”
The small tower was silent for a moment before saying, “Do not even think about your grandfather!”
Ye Guan was puzzled. “Why?”
The small tower replied, “Your grandfather is even more unrestrained than your father!”
Ye Guan fell silent.
It was over!
Completely over!
He could only rely on himself now!
Ye Guan turned and looked at the people behind him. At this moment, everyone was watching him!
With the Human Sword Master gone, Ye Guan was now the backbone of the Guanzuan Universe.
The Human Sword Master’s meaning was very clear: from now on, the Guanzuan Universe could only rely on itself!
Of course, he was not truly abandoning them completely!
Look, he even left his son here to stand with you all.
Ye Guan!
Now, they could only look at this eighteen-year-old youth.
Ye Guan’s gaze swept across the people in the field one by one. Seeing the confusion and fear in their eyes, his heart felt especially uncomfortable.
Faith!
Just a moment ago, everyone had faith in the Human Sword Master. As long as the Human Sword Master was there, they believed the Guanzuan Universe would definitely be protected!
But now, the Human Sword Master had left!
They had to rely on themselves!
Yet the gods were so powerful!
In an instant, everyone in the Guanzuan Universe became lost!
Ye Guan suddenly smiled faintly. “Do not be afraid. As long as… the Yang Clan exists, the Guanzuan Universe will not perish!”
The Yang Clan!
One person alone seemed not enough right now. Better to bring in the Yang Clan too!
“Good!”
As soon as Ye Guan’s voice fell, space-time in the distant sky suddenly tore open. An Nan Jing, Qi Bi Tian, and the others slowly walked out.
Seeing An Nan Jing and the rest, Ye Guan immediately breathed a sigh of relief. With these seniors helping him, he felt much less empty.
It was not about being cowardly. The main thing was, he really could not win!
With his current strength, fight the True Universe?
What would he use to fight?
An Nan Jing looked at Ye Guan. “This universe, the Yang Clan will help you guard it together!”
The Yang Clan!
Since Ye Guan considered himself part of the Yang Clan, the Yang Clan would naturally treat him as one of their own!
As for Ye Xuan, it was not that they refused to help.
Ye Xuan had heaven’s mandate and did not need them at all. Moreover, they did not want to see heaven’s mandate.
Hearing An Nan Jing’s words, Ye Guan grinned. “Good!”
With that, he turned and looked at King An and the others in the distance. He took one step forward and instantly appeared before King An and the rest.
Almost at the same time, An Nan Jing, Mu Nian Nian, and the others appeared behind Ye Guan.
At the same time, thirty-six black-clothed mysterious powerhouses holding chain blades also appeared behind Ye Guan.
These had been left behind by Qin Guan. Their realm and strength were unknown.
Anyway, they were very strong!
After Qin Guan left, they now obeyed only Ye Guan and Nalan Jia, and no one else.
Below, Nalan Jia looked at Ye Guan in the distance with a complicated expression. She also wanted to stand behind Ye Guan, but right now she only had a small cloth bag and could not help Ye Guan at all.
The small cloth bag: “…”
On the opposite side, at this moment, the Yin God was still pinned by Ye Xuan’s sword qi and could not move at all.
That one step Ye Xuan took had already placed her and Ye Xuan worlds apart.
The Yin God’s face looked extremely ugly. Back when she first met Ye Xuan, he had merely been an unremarkable sword cultivator by Yu Shen’s side. Yet now, this man could instantly kill her!
A sense of failure suddenly rose in the Yin God’s heart!
Ye Guan ignored the Yin God and looked at King An instead. He stared at her and said, “I have an idea. Since my father is fighting your True God, how about we wait until they decide the victor before we fight?”
King An replied directly, “You want to stall for time!”
Ye Guan fell silent.
The enemy was too smart. It really gave him a headache.
King An turned to look at the Yin God. “Yin God, this youth cannot be allowed to live. If we give him time to develop, in the future he will become another Human Sword Master!”
The Yin God fell silent.
Do you not see there is still a strand of sword qi stuck in my forehead?
Ye Guan gave up on King An and suddenly looked at the Yin God. “If the Yin God dies, does that mean King An can take your place?”
Both the Yin God and King An frowned!
The other gods looked at Ye Guan with cold expressions. Damn, this human was not a good person at all!
He was actually playing a divide-and-conquer tactic!
Everyone knew Ye Guan was sowing discord, yet at this moment, no one dared to step forward and demand battle!
If they fought now, the Yin God would undoubtedly die.
Stepping forward now to demand battle would be equivalent to forcing the Yin God to her death!
King An gave Ye Guan a deep look. This damn man was not just ordinarily bad!
Ye Guan stared at the Yin God and continued, “Yin God, how about this? We sign a ceasefire agreement for one year. Within one year, neither side may engage in major battles. However, minor skirmishes are fine. For example, I greatly admire the geniuses of the True Universe. If the True Universe’s geniuses are willing to come here and spar with me, I would welcome them very much!”
King An stared at Ye Guan. “You want to stall for time and have us send people to give you experience!”
Ye Guan glanced at King An. “Do you feel no panic because it is not you who would die?”
The Yin God looked at King An, her gaze somewhat cold.
She naturally saw through Ye Guan’s true intentions. She was not stupid.
But the problem was, she was currently pinned by sword qi!
Fight?
It was not impossible!
Right now the Guanzuan Universe was weak. If they went to full-scale war, and without the Human Sword Master appearing, there was a very high chance of destroying the Guanzuan Universe!
And she also wanted to kill this youth before her!
Because he was truly too monstrous!
Given time, he would indeed become a second Human Sword Master!
But if they went to full-scale war, she would die first!
Sacrifice herself?
Dream on!
The Yin God looked at Ye Guan. “One year term?”
Ye Guan nodded. “Just one year!”
He would have preferred to ask for several more years, but he knew it was unrealistic. Even if the Yin God agreed, the higher-ups of the True Universe might not.
But one year? The True Universe would never go back on it!
After all, it was not long!
So he chose one year. At this moment, he could not be greedy, because he had discovered that the people of the True Universe were not stupid. Especially this King An, her mind was too sharp.
At that moment, King An suddenly said, “As far as I know, he has a tower. The time inside that tower…”
The Yin God suddenly turned to look at King An. “Do you want to be the god instead?”
King An frowned.
The other gods glanced at the two and said nothing.
Internal strife was about to begin!
King An’s starting point was for the True Universe.
But it would require the Yin God to sacrifice herself.
The Yin God naturally refused!
King An glanced at Ye Guan and said nothing more.
She was not naive. She knew that if they agreed to Ye Guan today, the Ye Guan one year from now would definitely be completely different from the current Ye Guan!
How much time had passed from when this youth started cultivating the sword until now?
And he was already a Great Sword Emperor!
If this damn man entered that mysterious small tower to cultivate, with the special abilities of that tower, it would definitely be terrifying. He might not become invincible immediately, but he would certainly become extremely, extremely powerful.
After all, the entire Guanzuan Universe was now in Ye Guan’s hands!
He had all the resources!
So even if it offended the Yin God, she still had to say it. Of course, she could not say more now. Saying more would be excessive.
Anyway, she had achieved her goal.
Ye Guan suddenly said, “King An, actually, I really admire you!”
King An looked at Ye Guan. Ye Guan smiled and said nothing.
Was King An stupid?
No!
King An was the smartest person!
In the field, some clever gods glanced at King An with complicated expressions.
They knew that King An was willing to offend the Yin God to say this because she understood that one year from now, Ye Guan would definitely be completely different.
And once Ye Guan became a threat, everyone would remember what King An said today!
At that time, the Yin God would definitely be finished!
When the Yin God was finished, who would take her place?
Most likely King An!
King An looked at Ye Guan and smiled without speaking. She knew the man before her had seen through her intentions.
You know my thoughts!
I understand your heart!
Though they were enemies, at this moment, the two felt like kindred spirits.
Ye Guan naturally would not expose King An’s intentions, and King An would not truly want to kill Ye Guan at this moment!
Of course, if there were a choice, she would do it. But at this moment, if she continued to push, she would only bring disaster upon herself.
After all, the Yin God had not died yet!
At that moment, the Yin God suddenly said, “I speak for the True Universe and accept your conditions. One year as the term. Within one year, the True Universe and your Guanzuan Universe will not invade each other. However, during this period, the geniuses and monsters of the True Universe may come to challenge you!”
Ye Guan nodded. “Acceptable!”
The Yin God stared at Ye Guan without speaking.
Ye Guan looked at the sword light between the Yin God’s brows. He opened his palm. “Come!”
As his voice fell, the sword light between the Yin God’s brows suddenly flew into his hand.
Ye Guan looked at the sword light in his hand. Just as he was about to put it away, the strand of sword light slowly dissipated.
Human Sword Intent!
And from now on, there would no longer be Human Sword Intent in this world!
The era of the Human Sword Master had truly ended!
Ye Guan’s eyes slowly closed!
He knew his era had arrived!
It was not that he wanted it to come, but there was no choice!
This father had simply washed his hands of everything. What could he do?
Tears in his eyes as he inherited billions in family property!
Ye Guan took a deep breath. He knew what he could do now was cultivate hard!
One year!
One year!
Time was pressing!
At that moment, the Yin God glanced at Ye Guan and said, “Are you not afraid I will go back on my word?”
Ye Guan smiled and replied, “I cultivate hard precisely so I can play with you all. But if you do not follow martial virtue or keep your word, then I can only lie flat. You can go play with my grandfather and my aunt instead!”
The Yin God glanced at Ye Guan. “Do not try to scare me. The True Universe keeps its word. One year is one year! I want to see just how far you can go in one year.”
With that, she led the group of gods and retreated.
On the golden path, the Yin God’s face was cold. “Issue the order: whoever kills Ye Guan will be rewarded one hundred million spirit yuan!”
One hundred million spirit yuan!
Hearing the Yin God’s words, all the gods in the field were shocked beyond belief.
One hundred million spirit yuan!
Even for them, the kings, their annual salary was only a few million spirit yuan, and that was barely enough for their own cultivation.
One hundred million spirit yuan was an astronomical sum for them!
At this moment, they all wanted to go kill Ye Guan!
Unfortunately, they were not of the younger generation!
King An glanced at the Yin God. She knew the Yin God had already understood that if Ye Guan was still alive one year from now and had grown stronger, her fate would be very miserable.
Right now the True God was being held back by the Human Sword Master and had no time to deal with these matters.
But once the True God had free time…
Besides that, beneath the True God was the True God Hall. This True God Hall was equivalent to the cabinet of the Guanzuan Universe. When the True God was absent, it ruled the entire True Universe. The Yin God was one of its elders. This time she had led the team to kill Ye Guan on the orders of the True God Hall.
Right now the True God Hall would definitely not come after her.
After all, she was a cosmic spirit and still had some face.
But one year from now, if Ye Guan grew up and posed a threat to the True Universe, someone would need to take the blame!
Who would take it?
Definitely her, the Yin God!
And she had seen this point clearly. That was why she offered such a high bounty.
One hundred million spirit yuan!
The countless favoured children of heaven in the True Universe would go mad. Not only the True Universe, but even some top geniuses from below the True Universe would go mad.
In short, the geniuses of the entire universe would go mad!
One hundred million spirit yuan was far too tempting!
She would not give Ye Guan time to cultivate!
The True Universe would never allow the enemy to develop continuously!
The Guanzuan Universe absolutely could not produce another Human Sword Master!
Soon, the Yin God led the group of powerful gods and disappeared into the space-time tunnel.
As she entered the space-time tunnel, King An turned back to glance at Ye Guan.
In the field, Ye Guan remained silent.
The Yin God’s words earlier had not been deliberately concealed, so he had heard them too!
An Nan Jing and the others beside him had also heard.
One hundred million spirit yuan!
Ye Guan thought for a moment, then asked in his heart, “Tower Grandpa, how much is one hundred million spirit yuan?”
The small tower replied, “Converted to immortal crystals, it would be about ten trillion immortal crystals!”
Ye Guan fell silent.
He knew the True Universe did not want to give him time to develop!
At that moment, Ye Qing suddenly appeared beside Ye Guan. He looked at Ye Guan and grinned. “Brother Ye Guan, you cultivate. The geniuses and monsters of the True Universe, I will carry them!”
“And me!”
At that moment, Cao Bai also stepped forward!
“And me!”
Ao Qianqian also stepped forward.
“I can do it too!”
Nan Ling Yi Yi also stepped forward.
Ji Xuan also stepped forward, though she said nothing.
“I can do it too!”
At that moment, Ye Guan Zhi also stepped forward. She looked at Ye Guan and smiled slightly.
At the same time, the geniuses from the Sword Sect and Guanzuan Academy also stepped forward one after another. Among them were many familiar faces to Ye Guan: Sword Emperor Chen Gong, Qin Xue, Mu Tian Dao’s disciple Fan Qing (the one who had given Ye Guan the Zhou ship back then), Qingzhou Academy’s chief student Mu Youyou, the Ancient Crown Prince, Yue Chen…
Nearly ten thousand people looked at Ye Guan and said in unison, “You cultivate. We will carry the burden!”
