Ye Guan and the other two were completely stunned!
An Emperor-tier demonic beast had knelt down?
None of the three dared to believe the scene before their eyes!
Ye Guan glanced at the Dao-Executing Sword in his hand, fell silent for a moment, then said in his heart, “Tower Master, do you know this demonic beast?”
Little Tower was quiet for a while before replying, “I do!”
Hearing this, Ye Guan immediately took out Little Tower.
The moment the demonic beast saw Little Tower, it froze. “This…”
Ye Guan looked at the beast and asked softly, “Senior, you recognise Tower Master?”
The demonic beast’s throat bobbed. Then it said, “Little… Tower?”
Little Tower spoke calmly, “Emperor Dog, how did you become such a coward?”
Its voice could only be heard by Emperor Dog!
Emperor Dog’s expression instantly turned extremely ugly. “It really is you!”
Little Tower said softly, “I never imagined we would meet again here!”
Emperor Dog said in a low voice, “Little Tower, what on earth happened back then? If I hadn’t run fast enough, I would have died!”
Little Tower was silent for a moment before replying, “It’s a long story!”
Emperor Dog hesitated, then looked at Ye Guan. “He is Young Master Ye’s…”
Little Tower said, “Yes!”
Emperor Dog’s expression grew complicated. When it looked at Ye Guan again, a trace of gentleness appeared in its eyes.
Little Tower asked, “You’ve been hiding here all this time?”
Emperor Dog replied, “Yes!”
Little Tower asked, “Are you planning to leave?”
Emperor Dog nodded slightly. “I’m preparing to head to the Guanxuan Universe. I sensed the summons of Second Yard Master Erya.”
After saying that, it hesitated, then added, “Together?”
Little Tower replied, “No.”
Emperor Dog was puzzled. “Why not?”
Little Tower said gravely, “His identity is special. He cannot go to the Guanxuan Universe right now!”
Emperor Dog glanced at the Dao-Executing Sword in Ye Guan’s hand, then said, “He is… is her inheritor?”
Little Tower answered, “Yes!”
Emperor Dog fell silent.
Little Tower said, “You may go!”
Emperor Dog hesitated again, then looked at Ye Guan. It smiled faintly, opened its palm, and a small box slowly floated towards Ye Guan. “Little fellow, these are demonic beast inner cores I obtained after killing some beasts back then. They are for you!”
Hearing this, Ye Guan was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, “Thank you, Senior!”
Emperor Dog smiled slightly. “We shall meet again!”
With that, it suddenly leapt upwards, directly shattering the entire cave, turned into a wisp of dark light, shot out into outer space, and vanished at the end of the starry sky.
The whole of Nanzhou was shaken!
An Emperor-tier demonic beast!
In an instant, countless big shots looked towards the Nanshan mountain range, utterly shocked.
…
Inside the cave, Ye Guan hurriedly put away that earth vein, then turned to Si Qing. Si Qing said gravely, “The appearance of an Emperor-tier demonic beast will definitely attract countless experts here. Even experts from Beizhou and Zhongzhou will come. You must be careful!”
After a pause, she continued, “I’ll go divert their attention first. You and Miss Xiao Jia slip away while you can! Farewell, both of you!”
With that, she shot into the sky, flying towards the top.
Ye Guan took Nalan Jia and quickly returned the way they came!
The two moved extremely fast. In the blink of an eye they reached the cave entrance. At that moment, all the experts at the entrance had been drawn away by Si Qing.
Thus, Ye Guan swiftly took Nalan Jia and slipped away.
On their way back to Ancient Desolate City, powerful auras constantly streaked overhead, all heading towards the Nanshan mountain range.
Ye Guan’s expression was extremely solemn!
An Emperor-tier demonic beast appearing in this place was simply too abnormal. Countless experts would definitely come to investigate.
Soon, the two arrived at Ancient Desolate City.
At the city gate, Ye Guan took out the box Emperor Dog had given him. Inside were six demonic beast inner cores: one Emperor-tier core and five Heaven-tier cores.
Absolute treasures!
When Ye Guan saw this, his expression changed completely!
An Emperor-tier demonic beast inner core!
If news of this got out, it would drive people insane. For some demonic beasts, this core was a divine object, because swallowing a core of the same tier could grant enormous improvement!
Moreover, such a core also contained extremely powerful energy, bringing huge benefits to humans as well!
One could say these few cores were worth no less than that earth vein!
Nalan Jia stared at the cores before her, her beautiful eyes filled with shock!
So generous!
At this moment, Ye Guan took out three Heaven-tier cores and placed them in Nalan Jia’s hand. “For you!”
Nalan Jia froze.
Ye Guan said gravely, “I must return to the Ye Clan first! Xiao Jia, until we meet again!”
With that, he turned to leave.
But Nalan Jia grabbed him.
Ye Guan turned to look at her. Nalan Jia stared at him. “These are Heaven-tier demonic beast inner cores! You’re giving them to me?”
Ye Guan was slightly taken aback, then said, “What’s wrong?”
Nalan Jia stared at Ye Guan without speaking.
Ye Guan smiled faintly. He understood what she meant. He took out a pill, the very Hunyuan Pill that Nalan Jia had once given him!
Ye Guan looked at Nalan Jia. “Let alone three Heaven-tier cores, even three hundred, three thousand, in my heart they are far less precious than this Hunyuan Pill!”
With that, he turned and left.
Nalan Jia watched Ye Guan’s departing figure. After a long while, a touched smile appeared on her face, a smile so radiant it outshone heaven and earth.
…
After Ye Guan returned to the Ye Clan, he went straight to find Ye Xiao.
In the hall, there were only the two of them.
Seeing Ye Guan, Ye Xiao immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
When he learned an Emperor-tier demonic beast had appeared in the Nanshan mountain range, he had been terrified!
An Emperor-tier demonic beast!
Was this some kind of international joke?
For such a minor place to have such a big shot…
After the shock came worry, because Ye Guan had been in the Nanshan mountains. Now that Ye Guan had returned safely, the stone in his heart finally settled.
Ye Guan placed two scrolls of Earth-tier cultivation methods in front of Ye Xiao. “Clan Leader, these two Earth-tier methods are for you. Choose one that suits you and cultivate it. Once you master it, pass it on to the clansmen!”
Seeing the two Earth-tier scrolls, Ye Xiao was completely stunned.
At this moment, Ye Guan took out a storage ring and placed it before Ye Xiao. “Inside the ring there are one thousand gold crystals and five thousand supreme purple crystals. Distribute them as you see fit!”
With that, he turned to leave.
Ye Xiao suddenly called out in a trembling voice, “Little Guan!”
Ye Guan stopped. “Clan Leader, do not reveal these methods and crystals to outsiders, or it will bring calamity upon our Ye Clan!”
With that, he walked out!
In the hall, Ye Xiao looked at the two Earth-tier scrolls and the storage ring. After a very long time, he shook his head with a smile. “This little rascal…”
…
After leaving the main hall, Ye Guan went straight to Ye Qing’s courtyard. The moment he arrived, he saw Ye Qing.
Seeing Ye Guan, Ye Qing was slightly startled, then bowed slightly. “Brother Ye Guan!”
Ye Guan opened his palm. The remaining Earth-tier scroll floated towards Ye Qing. “For you!”
Ye Qing was stunned. He opened it and looked. The next instant, his expression changed dramatically. “Brother Ye Guan, this…”
Ye Guan said, “Cultivate well. The Ye Clan needs me, and it also needs you!”
With that, he turned and left!
In the courtyard, Ye Qing looked at the Earth-tier method in his hand. After a very long time, he shook his head with a smile. “Master…”
At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out from within his body. “This boy is no ordinary fish in a pond. One day he will tower above the heavens!”
Ye Qing gave a wry smile.
The voice continued, “I know you also wish to lead the Ye Clan to the peak, and he does too. If that is the case, why not join hands with him?”
Ye Qing fell silent.
The voice added, “I know you are unwilling to fall behind others, but if your skill is inferior, you must decisively admit defeat. Do not give rise jealousy, or you will ruin yourself. Understand?”
Ye Qing said solemnly, “I understand!”
…
Ye Guan arrived at the back mountain of the Ye residence. He sat cross-legged on the ground, then took out Little Tower.
Ye Guan looked at Little Tower. “Tower Master, is there anything you want to tell me?”
Little Tower was silent.
Ye Guan’s brows furrowed slightly.
Little Tower said gravely, “You are in danger!”
Ye Guan froze.
Little Tower continued, “Did you think that because that demonic beast gave you benefits and treated you kindly, you could soar to the heavens?”
Ye Guan hesitated, then asked, “What do you mean?”
Little Tower sighed softly. “Little fellow, you are now in great danger! Although that beast treated you well, it also means your whereabouts may have been exposed. If your whereabouts are exposed, do you know consequences?”
Ye Guan said gravely, “What about my mother?”
Little Tower was silent.
Ye Guan’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Was she persecuted?”
Little Tower said, “Not exactly. Your mother should have been imprisoned!”
Imprisoned!
Ye Guan’s brows knitted together.
Little Tower continued to deceive him, “In short, you must cultivate hard. Otherwise, once they discover you, it will really be over! Therefore, you must become powerful before they find you, stronger than that demonic beast. Only then will you be able to contend with them in the future!”
Ye Guan’s brows remained furrowed. “What about my father? Doesn’t he care?”
Little Tower said, “Your father is a live-in son-in-law who lives off his wife!”
Ye Guan: “…”
Little Tower sighed softly. “Your current situation is very bad. Not only you, but the entire Ye Clan is in a very bad position! If they discover you, both you and the Ye Clan will be finished. Their strength is beyond your imagination. That Emperor-tier demonic beast was very strong, right? But I’m telling you, in their eyes it is nothing but an ant!”
An ant!
Ye Guan slowly closed his eyes. He had to admit, he felt enormous pressure!
That Emperor-tier beast had nearly killed them with a single glance, yet in those people’s eyes it was merely an ant!
There truly were people beyond people, heavens beyond heavens!
Ye Guan took a deep breath, then said, “Tower Master, can I enter the tower to cultivate now?”
Little Tower replied, “I still cannot open this world for you!”
Ye Guan said, “I have purple crystals and gold crystals!”
Little Tower said, “No. Even these purple crystals and gold crystals are not much help to me. You had better keep them for yourself!”
Ye Guan was slightly startled. “Purple crystals and gold crystals are useless to you?”
Little Tower said, “Correct. My injuries are very severe, and I have lost some functions.”
Ye Guan asked, “They injured you?”
Little Tower answered, “Yes!”
Ye Guan said gravely, “You’ve had it rough!”
Little Tower: “…”
A moment later, Ye Guan sat cross-legged on the ground and began charging towards the Myriad Laws Realm.
His previous encounters with Zheng Lin and Nan Qingyue had taught him one thing: these aristocratic families were extremely wilful!
The stronger the power, the more wilful they were!
In their eyes, anyone weaker than them could be crushed at will!
Reason?
Before absolute strength, the word “reason” was utterly powerless!
And his own maternal family was probably even more outrageous!
Of course, he still could not understand that father of his. How could a man live off a woman?
Someone: “…”
Inside Little Tower, that mysterious voice suddenly said, “If you keep playing like this, aren’t you afraid something will go wrong?”
Little Tower replied calmly, “What else can I do? Tell him the entire truth? Aren’t you afraid he’ll turn out like his father? Destroy one world after another, then move on to the next? Sigh, times have changed! That old routine no longer works!”
The voice fell silent.
Little Tower continued, “This little fellow really has potential. Don’t ruin him!”
The mysterious voice sighed softly.
At that moment, Ye Guan, who was cultivating, suddenly looked up. The clouds in the sky parted. Immediately afterwards, a woman tore through the void and arrived. In the blink of an eye she appeared right in front of him.
The woman appeared to be in her twenties. She wore a cloud-blue long dress, had long hair cascading over her shoulders, features so exquisite they were flawless. In her right hand she held a folding fan, and at her waist hung a wine gourd. The entire person looked both stunningly beautiful and boldly unrestrained.
Ye Guan was stunned.
Beautiful!
That was his first impression!
But very quickly he became secretly vigilant!
This woman’s strength was unfathomably deep!
She was the strongest person he had ever seen apart from that Emperor-tier demonic beast!
The woman stared at Ye Guan. “You are Ye Guan?”
Ye Guan nodded. “Senior, who might you be?”
The woman smiled. “I am Fei Banqing, Xiao Jia’s mentor!”
Ye Guan blinked. “Is something the matter?”
Fei Banqing stared at Ye Guan. “I won’t waste words! I came to you for one thing only, and that is to ask you to dissolve your engagement with Xiao Jia! Xiao Jia is about to reach the True Law Realm, and with her special constitution she will soon reach the Divine Infant Realm!”
As she spoke, she took a huge swig from her wine gourd. Wine trickled from the corner of her mouth, creating a rather risqué scene.
Ye Guan said nothing.
After finishing her drink, Fei Banqing continued, “One can say that once she reaches the Divine Infant Realm, she will become the chief student of our batch and represent us at the once-in-ten-years martial examination in the Milky Way galaxy! There she will meet many more outstanding people and obtain far greater resources. In a word, she will become more and more extraordinary!”
Ye Guan glanced at Fei Banqing but still said nothing.
Fei Banqing took another huge gulp, then said, “I am a very realistic person, and realistic people speak realistic words! Lad, you and Xiao Jia are not from the same world. If you force yourself to be with her, you will discover in the future that both of you will suffer greatly!”
As she spoke, she glanced at Ye Guan again and continued, “She is still young now and doesn’t think too much, but later, when the gap between you grows ever larger, you will realise how painful and despairing it is for two people from different levels to be together! Moreover, if you stay with her, you absolutely will not live! Because not only is her talent monstrous, she is also breathtakingly beautiful. Do you know how many people at Guanxuan Academy pursue her? They are monstrous themselves and have powerful backgrounds…”
At that moment, Ye Guan suddenly opened his palm.
Whoosh!
A sword suddenly flew out from within his body and landed steadily in his palm. Immediately afterwards, a fierce sword momentum enveloped Fei Banqing!
Fei Banqing stared fixedly at the sword in Ye Guan’s hand. Her right hand gripped her wine gourd tightly. The wine she had not yet swallowed slowly slid down the corner of her mouth. The scene was simply too beautiful…
After a long while, Fei Banqing released her wine gourd and laughed. “Young Master Ye, please pretend I never said those words just now. Allow me to rephrase!”
As she spoke, she suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Ye Guan’s hand directly, and said with burning eyes, “Become my disciple. I will personally officiate your wedding with Xiao Jia. Whoever dares to stop you, I will personally crush his balls!”
Ye Guan: “…”
