After entering the city, Ye Guan and Nanling Yi Yi walked along the streets. Along the way, the two bought quite a lot of things.
Of course, Ye Guan paid for everything.
Nanling Yi Yi was also poor.
With a master like that, anyone would be poor.
After strolling for a while, the two arrived at the Immortal Treasures Pavilion. Only here could they buy a wide variety of things. Everything was available.
After sweeping through the place, Ye Guan spent nearly fifty thousand gold crystals in total.
He had to admit, it hurt a bit.
But the money had to be spent.
After buying the items, the two prepared to leave. Just as they stepped out of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion, a voice suddenly came from nearby. “Nanling Yi Yi.”
Hearing this, Ye Guan turned to look. Not far away, several people were staring at them.
Three men and one woman.
The leading white-robed man, upon confirming he had the right person, walked over with a smile. “It really is you.”
Nanling Yi Yi glanced at the white-robed man and the others but said nothing.
Ye Guan frowned slightly. Could they be here to cause trouble?
The white-robed man smiled. “Yi Yi, I never expected it to really be you.”
Nanling Yi Yi nodded slightly, then looked at Ye Guan.
Ye Guan understood. She did not want to get entangled with them. He immediately led Nanling Yi Yi away.
At that moment, the white-robed man suddenly said, “Brother Ye Guan, please wait.”
Ye Guan looked at the white-robed man, surprised. “You know me?”
The white-robed man nodded. “Brother Ye Guan may not know this, but the True Dragon Clan has already issued a warrant for you across the entire Central Divine Continent.”
A warrant for him.
Ye Guan frowned but said nothing more. It was within expectations.
The white-robed man thought for a moment, then said, “Brother Ye Guan, I would like to speak a few words with my younger sister.”
Younger sister.
Ye Guan glanced at the white-robed man, somewhat surprised. This person was actually from the Nanling Clan.
Ye Guan looked at Nanling Yi Yi. She turned to the white-robed man and said calmly, “Nanling Ren, what do you want to say?”
Nanling Ren said in a deep voice, “Yi Yi, come back to the family with me.”
Nanling Yi Yi shook her head.
Nanling Ren glanced at Ye Guan, then said, “Yi Yi, from what I know, the True Dragon Clan may be planning major actions. Staying in the Dao Sect will be very dangerous. Even if you are unwilling to return to the Nanling Clan, you should at least leave the Dao Sect.”
Nanling Yi Yi still shook her head, then looked at Ye Guan. “Let’s go.”
Ye Guan nodded and led Nanling Yi Yi away.
Nanling Ren quickly said, “Yi Yi, wait a moment.”
With that, he walked in front of Nanling Yi Yi, took out a storage ring, and handed it to her. “Yi Yi, the Dao Sect is not easy. Take these three hundred thousand gold crystals. You must not refuse.”
After a long silence, Nanling Yi Yi still shook her head, then pulled Ye Guan’s arm and walked towards the distance.
Seeing this, Nanling Ren sighed softly, then said, “Brother Ye Guan, the True Dragon Clan may make big moves soon. Be extremely careful.”
In the distance, Ye Guan turned to glance at Nanling Ren. “Thank you.”
With that, he and Nanling Yi Yi quickly walked towards the end of the street.
In place, Nanling Ren looked at the storage ring in his hand and sighed with a shake of his head.
At that moment, a man beside him suddenly said, “Big Brother, she is just an illegitimate child. If she is unwilling to return, then forget it.”
Nanling Ren shook his head. “You cannot say that. Although she has not received Father’s acknowledgement, she carries the blood of our Nanling family. She shares blood ties with us.”
As he spoke, he looked towards Ye Guan and Nanling Yi Yi at the end of the street in the distance and said softly, “The mistakes of the adults should not make the younger generation bear this pain. Father was wrong in this matter.”
Hearing this, the several people behind him dared not respond.
The only one who dared to speak of the Nanling Clan patriarch like this was this Big Brother.
Because this Big Brother was the future clan leader personally designated by the Nanling Clan ancestor, Nanling Han.
This position as young clan leader was the most secure in history.
Nanling Ren looked at Ye Guan’s retreating figure and praised, “This Brother Ye truly has extraordinary bearing. His aura is profound. He is a rare talent. If I were the clan leader of the God Clan or Li Clan, I would accept him.”
The man said in a deep voice, “Big Brother, he has offended the True Dragon Clan. Moreover, he killed someone from the An Family. Accepting him means becoming enemies with the True Dragon Clan and the An Family. Although this person is good, I do not think it is worth becoming enemies with those two clans for him.”
Nanling Ren shook his head slightly. “Before, I also thought it was not worth it. But after meeting him, I think it is.”
The man frowned slightly, puzzled. “Why?”
Nanling Ren smiled. “All our attention is on the An Family and True Dragon Clan. We have overlooked one thing. This Brother Ye killed An Mu, and also that True Dragon. Who is An Mu? He was the peerless genius predetermined by the Guanxuan Academy to compete for destiny. His talent and strength are top-tier not just in the upper realm, but even in this Central Divine Continent. Moreover, he had a True Dragon with him. That dragon was the young clan leader of the True Dragon Clan, already monstrous enough in itself…”
At this point, he paused, then said in a deep voice, “Yet, even united, they were slain by this Young Master Ye. Of course, this is still secondary. Most importantly, he has been accepted as a disciple by Senior Dao. Senior Dao is one of the twelve ceilings of the Central Divine Continent.”
Dao Monk.
The man fell silent. This was indeed an extraordinary figure.
Although the Dao Sect had only one person, no one dared to underestimate it, precisely because of him.
Nanling Ren continued, “Senior Dao could not possibly fail to see these implications. Yet, he still accepted Brother Ye as his disciple. There are only two possibilities. First, Senior Dao drank too much fake wine.”
The man shook his head. “Impossible.”
Nanling Ren smiled. “The second possibility is that our Brother Ye is even more monstrous than we imagine. A powerhouse of Senior Dao’s level was moved and could not resist the temptation to accept him as a disciple… If I am not mistaken, Brother Ye is likely to compete for this great dao destiny on behalf of the Dao Sect.”
Great dao destiny.
The man said in a deep voice, “Big Brother, this great dao destiny is not easy to compete for.”
Nanling Ren nodded. “This generation may be the most difficult in history.”
The man looked at Nanling Ren. “Big Brother, will you compete?”
Nanling Ren shook his head. “I do not have the strength. No one in our Nanling Clan does. So, we can only plan carefully and act later. Make more good connections and commit fewer evil deeds. Throughout history, when great clans fall, eight or nine times out of ten, it is because someone in the clan committed too many unjust acts, planting evil causes and reaping evil fruits.”
As he spoke, he looked at the people behind him. “Although our Nanling Clan is one of the six great clans, in this vast universe, we are actually nothing much. Therefore, we must restrain our words and actions, committing fewer evil deeds.”
The several people quickly nodded slightly.
Nanling Ren looked into the distance and said softly, “I hope they can survive this tribulation.”
…
After Ye Guan and Nanling Yi Yi left Yong City, the two flew on the sword, soaring straight into the clouds.
Nanling Yi Yi remained silent.
Ye Guan smiled. “Do not think too much about it. If you do not want to return to the Nanling Clan, then do not go back.”
Nanling Yi Yi nodded. “I think the Dao Sect is pretty good.”
Ye Guan smiled, then stopped. Nanling Yi Yi looked at Ye Guan, puzzled. “Junior Brother Ye, why stop?”
Ye Guan smiled faintly, then turned to look. “Not coming out?”
As his voice fell, the clouds there suddenly parted. A middle-aged man appeared in the sight of Ye Guan and Nanling Yi Yi.
The newcomer was none other than Ao Meng.
Upon seeing Ao Meng, Nanling Yi Yi’s expression changed dramatically.
But Ye Guan’s demeanour remained very calm, as if he had anticipated this.
Seeing Ye Guan’s expression, Ao Meng frowned slightly. A trace of unease suddenly rose in his heart. Just as he was about to speak, a terrifying aura suddenly appeared below. Immediately after, a blade light hundreds of zhang long shot into the sky.
Ao Meng’s expression changed instantly. He roared in anger, “You set a trap for me.”
With that, sensing the terrifying aura of the blade light, he dared not be careless. He immediately reverted to his true form.
A True Dragon several thousand zhang long appeared among the clouds. Waves of dragon might swept down. However, they could not stop the blade light.
Rip.
“Ah!”
With a tearing sound and a miserable scream resounding, the True Dragon was directly cut in half at the waist by the blade light. Countless dragon blood poured down.
Ye Guan quickly spread his palm, collecting Ao Meng’s storage ring. Then he used another storage ring to gather the countless dragon blood and Ao Meng’s corpse.
Nanling Yi Yi watched, dumbfounded.
Such practised movements.
At that moment, the Dao Monk appeared in the field. In his hand, he held a large steel blade.
A blade-wielding monk.
Ye Guan immediately said, “Master’s divine might. Master is invincible.”
The Dao Monk stared at Ye Guan. “Dragon meat, half for each.”
After speaking, he frowned slightly. Wait, he killed the dragon himself. Why split it half and half with this bastard?
At that moment, Ye Guan said, “Master, the True Dragon Clan will definitely come again. We need to withdraw first.”
The Dao Monk looked at Ye Guan. “Last time, I did not slaughter this guy because I did not want to completely tear faces. But now, we have thoroughly torn faces with the True Dragon Clan. Do you know what this means?”
After a moment of silence, Ye Guan said, “They will frantically retaliate against you.”
The Dao Monk’s face immediately darkened: “……”
Hearing the conversation between Ye Guan and the Dao Monk, Nanling Yi Yi beside them suddenly understood.
This was a setup.
A trap set by her junior brother and master against Ao Meng.
Nanling Yi Yi glanced at the Dao Monk, shook her head, and thought to herself, “Master is really too cunning.”
Then, she looked at Ye Guan and admired in her heart, “Junior Brother is truly unparalleled in wisdom.”
