Nanzhou.
On this day, dozens of true dragons suddenly appeared in Nanzhou. Each true dragon was a thousand zhang long, soaring through the skies and blotting out the sun.
When countless powerhouses of Nanzhou saw these true dragons, they stood petrified in place.
Dragons.
These legendary creatures had actually appeared in Nanzhou.
As the true dragons flew over the mountain ranges, countless weak demonic beasts in the mountains trembled in fear.
It was the suppression from their bloodline.
Soon, these true dragons arrived at Desolate Ancient City.
At this moment, everyone in the entire Desolate Ancient City was stunned.
True dragons.
Everyone stared at the colossal true dragons that blotted out the sky, utterly shocked.
Above Desolate Ancient City, one true dragon suddenly roared angrily, “Where is the Ye family?”
The voice was like thunder, causing the mountains to shake.
The Ye family.
Ye Xiao came out into the courtyard. He looked up at the dozens of true dragons in the sky, his heart filled with immense shock.
At this moment, the leading true dragon suddenly fixed its gaze on Ye Xiao and snarled, “You are Ye Xiao.”
Ye Xiao nodded, “Yes.”
The true dragon suddenly let out an enraged roar.
Boom.
In an instant, the entire Desolate Ancient City experienced a massive earthquake. The city walls cracked and exploded.
The people in the city were terrified and frantically fled outwards.
Ye Xiao looked at the sky. Behind him stood the elders of the Ye clan and many Ye clan disciples.
In the air, that true dragon glared at Ye Xiao, seething with rage.
If not for the prohibition from Guanxuan Academy, today he would have slaughtered the entire city.
However, he did not dare.
If he committed such an inhumane act, he would surely anger the Guanxuan Guards of Guanxuan Academy. Once he provoked the Guanxuan Guards, the dragon clan would be in serious trouble.
With this thought, the leading true dragon suppressed his killing intent. He directly transformed into a middle-aged man, then waved his sleeve. A powerful force immediately swept up Ye Xiao and the others from the Ye family, lifting them into the sky.
Ye Xiao and the others fell into complete despair.
In the face of absolute strength, they could only despair.
Just at that moment, a sword cry suddenly rang out from the horizon.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man’s expression changed dramatically. “It is that Ye Guan. Return to the clan. Quickly.”
With that, he directly took the Ye family members and sped towards the horizon at extreme speed, vanishing at the edge of the sky in the blink of an eye.
Because Ao Tian feared that Ye Guan might launch another sneak attack on the True Dragon Realm, he had not come personally this time. Of course, there was no need for him to come in person.
After all, the Ye family was not even considered a first-rate power in Nanzhou. In the Central Divine Continent, they were like ants.
For capturing a few members of the Ye family, if the patriarch of the True Dragon Clan had to act personally, would that not make others laugh their heads off?
The leading middle-aged man was now extremely shocked. He had not expected Ye Guan to rush back personally. Naturally, he was wary of Ye Guan. The sword in that fellow’s hand could ignore the powerful defences of the True Dragon Clan.
The formidable physical defence was the advantage of the True Dragon Clan, but this advantage did not exist in front of Ye Guan.
Therefore, he chose not to fight but to retreat directly.
After all, Ye Guan had previously slain dozens of true dragons.
However, Ye Guan’s speed was simply too fast. In the blink of an eye, he appeared behind them.
A ferocious glint flashed in the leading middle-aged man’s eyes. “Stop him.”
As the words fell, two true dragons immediately transformed into golden lights and charged towards Ye Guan.
In the distance, a ferocious glint also flashed in Ye Guan’s eyes. He stomped his right foot fiercely.
Chi.
Space suddenly cracked open. In the next moment, a sword light directly pierced through the head of one true dragon, entered its body, and then flew out from its tail.
“Ao.”
With a piercing scream echoing through the air, that true dragon plummeted from the sky.
Ye Guan spread his palm, and the Path Sword flew into his hand. He was about to strike again when a golden light suddenly bombarded that true dragon. Boom.
That true dragon shuddered violently, then its body cracked open, blood splattering as it fell from the sky.
Ye Guan looked to his right. There stood a man.
Seeing the newcomer, Ye Guan was stunned.
Ye Qing.
Ye Qing looked at Ye Guan without speaking.
Ye Guan turned to look at the horizon. By now, the group of true dragons had vanished.
Ye Guan’s expression was extremely grim.
Ye Qing’s expression also turned icy cold.
Ye Guan suddenly said, “Brother Ye Qing, stay at the Ye family and wait for me.”
With that, he directly rose on his sword and vanished into the horizon.
But soon, he stopped because Ye Qing had caught up.
Ye Guan turned to look at Ye Qing. Ye Qing gazed at him, “Are you going to the True Dragon Clan?”
Ye Guan nodded, his voice grim, “They captured our clansmen because of me.”
Ye Qing said in a deep voice, “I will go with you.”
Ye Guan looked at Ye Qing, “That is the True Dragon Clan.”
Ye Qing stared straight at Ye Guan, declaring proudly, “So what?”
Ye Guan was silent for a moment before saying, “On this journey, I and the Ye family members may never return. You should stay. In the future…”
Ye Qing shook his head, “If you all die in the True Dragon Clan, even if I slaughter the entire True Dragon Clan in the future, what meaning would it have?”
Ye Guan looked at Ye Qing for a moment, then nodded, “Good. Let us go.”
With that, he rose on his sword, transforming into a sword light that vanished into the horizon.
Ye Qing stomped his right foot. A golden light burst from beneath his foot. In the next moment, he too vanished at the edge of the horizon.
…
The two arrived at the Immortal Treasure Pavilion and used the teleportation array to reach the True Dragon Realm in the Central Divine Continent.
Outside the True Dragon Realm, Ye Guan suddenly spread his palm, and a small pagoda appeared in his hand.
Ye Guan looked at the small pagoda and said softly, “Tower Master, you should leave.”
The small pagoda was silent for a moment before asking, “What do you mean?”
Ye Guan looked towards the distant True Dragon Realm and said softly, “I am going there with no intention of returning. There is no need for you to follow me into pointless sacrifice.”
The small pagoda said, “If you do not go, cultivate bitterly for one year. In one year, no one in the True Dragon Clan will be your match. But if you go now, you can only die with them.”
Ye Guan shook his head slightly, “In life, one must have a conscience. If today I ignore the Ye clan members and let them die miserably in the True Dragon Realm because of me, my conscience would never be at peace. Even if I become invincible in the future, it would be meaningless.”
Saying this, he bowed deeply to the small pagoda, “Tower Master, thank you for your grace in recognising my potential. This debt cannot be repaid in this life, only in the next.”
With that, he turned and walked towards the distant True Dragon Realm.
Ye Qing glanced at the small pagoda, then followed.
In place, the small pagoda was silent for a moment before murmuring softly, “This little fellow…”
…
True Dragon Realm.
As soon as Ye Guan and Ye Qing entered the True Dragon Realm, they encountered the patriarch of the True Dragon Clan, Ao Tian, in person.
Ao Tian looked at the two, “I am somewhat surprised. I did not expect you to really dare to come. I must say, you two have guts.”
Ye Guan suddenly looked behind Ao Tian, startled, “Tower Master?”
Ao Tian frowned slightly and subconsciously turned his head. In the next moment, his pupils contracted sharply. He whirled around fiercely, and at the same time, a protective golden light burst from his body.
Chi.
In the astonished gazes of all the true dragons present, that protective golden light shattered directly. A sword stabbed straight towards Ao Tian’s heart.
Just as the sword was about to pierce, Ao Tian suddenly reverted to his true form.
Boom.
A powerful force exploded from the centre of the field. In an instant, Ye Guan and Ye Qing were forced back a hundred zhang.
In the sky, a sword light fell straight down, landing steadily in Ye Guan’s palm.
In the sky, dragon blood continuously poured from Ao Tian’s abdomen.
Seeing this scene, the expressions of all the true dragons present became extremely grave. They turned to look at Ye Guan as if he were a monster.
He broke through Ao Tian’s defence?
Although Ao Tian was not at the Imperial Tier, he was at the peak of the Immortal Tier. His physical defence was, if not the strongest in the Central Divine Continent, certainly among the top three terrifying existences.
Yet now, his physical defence had been breached.
By a youth who was merely at the Space-Shattering Realm.
This was too outrageous.
Ye Guan inwardly felt regret.
He had wanted to see if he could instantly kill Ao Tian, but unexpectedly, at the critical moment, the opponent reverted to his true form and forcibly withstood his sword strike.
Although he injured the opponent, it was not fatal.
What a pity.
In the air, Ao Tian stared fixedly at Ye Guan. At this moment, his heart was filled with indescribable shock.
Besides shock, there was a trace of fear.
Just now, in that instant, he had nearly been killed by this youth.
And this youth was only at the Space-Shattering Realm.
Given time, once this youth grew up, would he not turn the world upside down?
With this thought, killing intent appeared in Ao Tian’s eyes.
He must not be allowed to live.
Otherwise, if this youth escaped and grew stronger, the True Dragon Clan would face great calamity in the future.
Ao Tian stared at Ye Guan, “Seal the realm.”
Seal the realm.
As the words fell, the True Dragon Realm directly closed.
Clearly, this was to prevent Ye Guan and Ye Qing from having any chance to escape.
At the same time, the powerhouses of the True Dragon Clan began gathering towards this side.
Ye Guan’s expression was calm. He gripped the Path Sword tightly. Today, he could only fight to the death here.
Ye Qing glanced at the leading Ao Tian, his right hand slowly clenching.
At this moment, Ao Tian suddenly said, “Kill.”
As the words fell, the surrounding true dragons charged directly towards Ye Guan and Ye Qing.
Watching the horde of true dragons rushing over, Ye Guan gripped the Path Sword tightly, “Brother Ye Qing, choose between this Ao Tian and the rest of the true dragons.”
Ye Qing was silent for a moment before saying, “To be honest, I do not want to choose either.”
Ye Guan said softly, “Then I will choose for you. You take the many, I take the few.”
Saying this, he transformed into a sword light and charged towards Ao Tian.
In the field, Ye Qing glanced around. In the next moment, a ferocious glint flashed in his eyes. He stomped his right foot fiercely. In an instant, the entire ground below trembled violently. Immediately afterwards, countless earth forces surged into the sky.
Boom.
In a flash, powerful force directly forced the surrounding true dragons to retreat repeatedly.
Not only that, the entire sky and earth cracked into a spiderweb pattern at this moment.
Seeing this scene, all the true dragon powerhouses in the field were stunned.
Between Ye Qing’s brows, the Seal of Earth Laws emerged. Below, endless earth force gathered towards him like a tide. His aura was incredibly powerful and terrifying.
Ye Qing looked coldly at the true dragons, his face somewhat ferocious, “You want to exterminate our Ye family? First exterminate us two brothers. Come on.”
Saying this, he stomped his right foot fiercely.
Boom.
A surge of earth force suddenly shot into the sky, shaking the clouds.
Though outnumbered.
Yet.
The two youths showed not the slightest fear.
At worst, they would just die.
