Hearing Tower Grandpa’s words, Ye Guan suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.
He had forgotten about Tower Grandpa and the mysterious big shot!
He wondered how he could ever block Tower Grandpa out.
Looking at Ye Guan in front of her, Nalan Jia smiled faintly. She suddenly stepped forward, and before Ye Guan could react, she gently kissed him on the lips.
Ye Guan’s body froze as if struck by lightning.
At that moment, Nalan Jia pulled back. She looked at the man before her. As she looked, she smiled, but as she smiled, tears began to fall!
Ye Guan wrapped his arms around Nalan Jia’s slender waist and said softly, “What is wrong?”
Nalan Jia smiled lightly. “I am just happy!”
Ye Guan pulled Nalan Jia into his embrace and said softly, “I will never let you get hurt again!”
Nalan Jia wrapped her arms around Ye Guan and buried her head in his shoulder. Her eyes slowly closed as she whispered, “Good.”
With that, she hugged Ye Guan tightly.
In truth, during the time she had been a soul, she had come to know many things, including certain girls…
After a long while, Ye Guan suddenly took Nalan Jia’s hand and walked into the distance.
The starry sky of the Void Truth Battlefield was a dull grey, without any starlight, carrying a heavy oppressive feeling.
Around the two of them, countless powerhouses stood guard in the shadows.
Along the way, Ye Guan, who was usually quiet, suddenly seemed to open up. He talked about everything, speaking endlessly.
Nalan Jia, whose hand he held, spoke very little, but the smile on her face was constant.
The small tower suddenly spoke. “Little fellow, want to go to the Starry Sea?”
Ye Guan was a bit surprised. “Starry Sea?”
The small tower replied, “Yes. Your father left two little paper cranes there back then. Do you not want to see them?”
Ye Guan blinked. “This… is it really okay?”
The small tower laughed. “Perhaps there will be benefits!”
Ye Guan immediately nodded. “Let us go and see!”
If his father had left some peerless treasure for him, that would be a huge profit.
Ye Guan asked, “How do we get to the Starry Sea?”
The small tower said, “You are now the young master of the Guanzuan Academy. Just tell them, and they will take you there.”
Ye Guan nodded slightly. He turned and called, “Someone come!”
As his voice fell, a black-clothed elder suddenly appeared beside Ye Guan. The elder bowed respectfully. “Young Master, what are your orders?”
Ye Guan said, “I want to go to the Starry Sea!”
The elder immediately replied, “Please wait a moment. We will clear the area!”
With that, he prepared to withdraw.
Ye Guan was stunned!
Clear the area?
Ye Guan frowned slightly. “Do not do any of that nonsense!”
The elder quickly said, “Understood!”
This young master disliked all that formalism.
The elder waved his right hand, and not far away, space-time suddenly tore open. “Young Master, Young Madam, please!”
Ye Guan nodded. He looked at Nalan Jia and smiled. “I will take you somewhere!”
Nalan Jia nodded. “Good!”
Ye Guan led Nalan Jia into the torn space-time tunnel. The moment the two disappeared, thirty-six mysterious black-clothed powerhouses holding chain blades suddenly appeared around them. All thirty-six tore open space-time at the same time and vanished from the spot.
In the original place, the elder’s expression was extremely grave.
The thirty-six people left behind by Pavilion Master Qin of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion had terrifying strength!
The elder hesitated for a moment but did not follow. With these thirty-six protecting them, no one in the Guanzuan Universe could harm Ye Guan.
Starry Sea.
When Ye Guan and Nalan Jia entered the Starry Sea, both of them were stunned.
So beautiful!
They could not help but exclaim in admiration.
This stretch of Starry Sea was filled with brilliant starlight. Looking out, endless starlight of every colour shimmered. Around them stood ancient trees.
There were quite a few people here too.
And they were all in pairs!
As Ye Guan and Nalan Jia appeared, everyone in the field immediately turned to look at them.
The man was handsome, the woman beautiful!
It had to be said that Ye Guan and Nalan Jia’s appearances were truly outstanding.
The moment they appeared, the two became the most eye-catching figures in the entire place.
Following Tower Grandpa’s directions, Ye Guan and Nalan Jia arrived beneath a starry tree. Ye Guan looked up and saw countless small paper cranes hanging from the branches!
Soon, Ye Guan’s gaze fell on one branch. Hanging from that branch were three small paper cranes.
Ye Guan asked, “Tower Grandpa, are these the paper cranes my father left behind?”
The small tower replied, “Yes!”
Ye Guan smiled faintly. He opened his palm, and the three small paper cranes trembled slightly.
At that moment, a man suddenly walked over from the side. He had two beautiful women in his arms. He strode straight up to Ye Guan and Nalan Jia. The man’s gaze fell on Nalan Jia, and he grinned. “Young lady, allow me to introduce myself. I am…”
At that instant, without a sound, a scythe blade appeared at the man’s throat. The next moment—
Chi!
In an instant, the man’s head separated from his neck!
There was not even any blood. The moment his head parted from his body, the man was completely erased.
It was as if he had never existed!
The two beautiful women froze. The next moment, both turned and fled.
Ye Guan paid them no attention. He opened his palm, and soon the three small paper cranes flew gently into his hand.
On the three paper cranes was a strand of sword light, but when it met him, the strand trembled slightly and slowly dissipated.
Ye Guan opened the leftmost paper crane. There was only one sentence written on it: I hope big brother will always be happy and joyful!
Ye Guan was a bit curious. “Tower Grandpa, this is?”
The small tower said softly, “This was left by your white-skirted aunt!”
White-skirted aunt!
Ye Guan smiled. “Tower Grandpa, I remember you telling me before that I have quite a few aunts. Is that true?”
The small tower replied, “Many! And all of them are very strong!”
Ye Guan immediately grinned. “Having lots of relatives is really nice!”
The small tower: “…”
The mysterious voice suddenly said, “He seems to be starting to enjoy calling people that.”
The small tower said gravely, “He needs to suffer. We have to find a way to make him suffer!”
Ye Guan smiled, put away the small paper crane, and opened the second one. There was also only a short message: I hope Qing’er and the others will be happy every day.
Ye Guan fell silent.
Clearly, this was left by his father!
A moment later, he opened the last paper crane. It was a letter:
“In my life as Ye Xuan, the first half was too bitter. There were times when I wondered if life would have any meaning without Qing’er by my side. In the second half, I constantly chased after Qing’er and my father’s footsteps, striving to reach their heights. Yet my enemies were always so powerful. If I did not call Qing’er, I would die. If I did call Qing’er, I would become a backer king. Naturally, I did not want to die, so the world gained another backer king! But it does not matter. Being alive is enough.
Whoever reads this letter must be of my direct bloodline. When you see this letter, it means my era as Ye Xuan has truly ended. Though there is some reluctance, it is also good, because I no longer have to be so tired. Son, when chasing the peak, do not neglect the people by your side, and do not push yourself too hard. For the strongest enemies, your father will help you carry them. Even if your father has not broken through to godhood, your father will face everything with you. No one is allowed to bully my son with their age and power! If anyone does, it means I am dead.”
Ye Guan looked at the letter before him and fell silent.
In this moment, he finally understood why his father had waited until now to break through to godhood.
In this moment, the unwillingness and resentment of the past eighteen years vanished like smoke.
Father and son would carry it together!
Ye Guan grinned, then carefully folded the letter and placed it into his storage ring.
Nalan Jia took Ye Guan’s hand and said softly, “No matter how hard the road ahead is, I will walk it with you!”
Ye Guan held Nalan Jia’s hand tightly and nodded. “Good!”
With that, he looked at the starry tree and smiled. “Shall we leave a paper crane too?”
Nalan Jia smiled. “Good!”
Ye Guan opened his palm. From the distant table, two paper cranes flew over to him. He handed one to Nalan Jia and took out a pen himself. After thinking for a long moment, he began to write boldly.
Nalan Jia also began to write.
Soon, both finished.
Ye Guan looked at Nalan Jia and smiled. “Little Jia, what did you write?”
Nalan Jia was about to speak when Ye Guan suddenly added, “I know, it is a secret!”
But Nalan Jia shook her head. She opened her paper crane. On it was one line: Love Guan, forever.
Ye Guan was stunned.
Nalan Jia looked at Ye Guan’s paper crane, blinked, and said nothing.
Ye Guan smiled faintly and opened his own paper crane. On it was one line: Love Jia, forever.
Seeing those words, Nalan Jia suddenly broke into a bright smile. She looked at Ye Guan with eyes full of tenderness.
Ye Guan opened his palm. His and Nalan Jia’s paper cranes slowly flew up and hung themselves on the starry tree.
The two turned and left.
The Starry Sea now held no more secrets!
Ye Guan brought Nalan Jia back to the Void Truth Divine Hall. They did not get married, because there was no time!
He needed time too badly right now!
At the entrance of the Void Truth Divine Hall, Ye Guan looked at Nalan Jia. Beside him stood An Nan Jing.
Ye Guan said softly, “I am leaving!”
Nalan Jia nodded. “I will guard the Guanzuan Academy and the Immortal Treasure Pavilion well for you!”
Ye Guan nodded. “Good!”
With that, he looked at An Nan Jing and said, “Senior, let us go!”
An Nan Jing nodded.
Just as the two were about to leave, at the distant edge of the sky, space-time suddenly tore open. Then a golden path stretched out directly.
The Void Truth World!
Ye Guan looked at the golden path, his eyes narrowing.
They came so quickly?
At that moment, a youth suddenly walked slowly out from the Void Truth path. The youth wore a brocade robe and held a long spear in his right hand.
Behind him, more youths gradually emerged!
Geniuses and monsters of the True Universe!
After the brocade-robed youth stepped out, he glanced around and frowned. The spiritual energy in this universe was so poor.
At that moment, a white-clothed man beside the brocade-robed youth suddenly chuckled lightly. “This world is actually so low-grade!”
The other divine youths nodded one after another. This universe was indeed far too inferior!
Yet the Yin God had placed a bounty of one hundred million spirit yuan on Ye Guan!
They all suspected the Yin God was joking!
At that moment, the brocade-robed youth suddenly spoke. “Do not underestimate this world. The Human Sword Master was born in this very place!”
Human Sword Master!
Hearing this, all the youths’ expressions immediately became grave!
They were somewhat unfamiliar with the Guanzuan Universe, after all, they were not born thirty million years ago, but they knew of the Human Sword Master!
The only man in history who had ever charged into the core region of the True Universe!
Even the Heaven Battling Clan back then had not achieved such a feat!
The brocade-robed youth continued, “The Yin God is a cosmic spirit. Her strength and wisdom need no doubt. Since she offered one hundred million spirit yuan, it proves one thing: this Ye Guan of the Guanzuan Academy, the descendant of the Human Sword Master, is definitely not simple. Therefore, everyone, do not have the slightest contempt!”
The group of divine youths nodded.
The brocade-robed youth looked into the distance, his eyes narrowing with a trace of excitement. “Compared to that one hundred million spirit yuan, I am far more interested in this Ye Guan. If I can kill him and bring his head back to the True Universe, it would be equivalent to washing away the shame of the Human Sword Master invading the True Universe back then.”
Hearing this, the group of True Universe genius youths behind him also became excited!
If they could truly bring Ye Guan’s head back to the True Universe, there was no doubt they would not only wash away the past shame but also become renowned throughout the entire True Universe.
The Human Sword Master had brought shame to the True Universe. Now his son would pay it back. That was only right and proper!
The brocade-robed youth suddenly took one step forward. With that step, he appeared thousands of zhang away. He looked down at the distant Void Truth Divine Hall and laughed loudly. “Ye Guan, I have come to take your head!”
