Outside the Xuan Tower.
Ye Qing looked at Ye Guan before him and smiled. “Brother Ye Guan, I still have another place to go. I am afraid we can only part ways here!”
Ye Guan nodded and asked, “Short of money?”
Ye Qing shook his head. “Enough for now!”
Ye Guan smiled faintly. “Good!”
Ye Qing suddenly asked, “Brother Ye Guan, the contest for the Great Dao Fortune is in eight months. You will compete for it then, right?”
Ye Guan nodded. “Yes!”
Ye Qing thought for a moment, then said, “I will come too when the time comes!”
Ye Guan smiled. “That would be excellent!”
Ye Qing smiled. “Indeed!”
Just then, the tower-guarding elder from before suddenly appeared before the two!
The tower-guarding elder glanced at them, then said, “Do you think the Hantian Sect will let you go?”
Ye Guan and Ye Qing fell silent.
The tower-guarding elder stared at them. “Do you know the Hantian Sect?”
Ye Qing was about to speak when Ye Guan suddenly smiled. “Is it not just a mere Hantian Sect?”
The tower-guarding elder was stunned.
Ye Guan smiled. “Senior, a trifling little Hantian Sect is not worth worrying about!”
With that, he pulled Ye Qing and turned to leave!
In place, the tower-guarding elder stared at Ye Guan’s retreating back. His right hand slowly clenched. After a long silence, as if considering something, he relaxed his hand and turned to depart!
…
After parting with Ye Qing, Ye Qing directly left the Xuan Realm.
Amidst a sea of clouds, Ye Qing glanced at the teleportation array behind him and fell silent.
At this moment, a voice suddenly rang in his sea of consciousness. “Your brother has more schemes than most!”
Ye Qing was puzzled. “Why does Master say that?”
The voice smiled. “Do you know why he said those words just now?”
Ye Qing was curious. “Why?”
The voice said, “He said that to deter the old man. That old fellow had already harboured ill intentions towards you two!”
Ye Qing smiled faintly. “I think Brother Ye Guan was right. Is it not just a mere Hantian Sect? What is there to fear?”
The voice suddenly burst into loud laughter. “Haha! True enough. Is it not just a mere Hantian Sect?”
Ye Qing smiled, then sped towards the distance.
On the way, the voice suddenly said, “If, in the future contest for the Great Dao Fortune, you face him, what would you do?”
Ye Qing smiled. “Not to mention the Great Dao Fortune is not in my hands. Even if it were, as long as Brother Ye Guan needs it, giving it to him would be no issue!”
As he spoke, he had already vanished at the end of the clouds.
…
Xuan Tower.
Ye Guan went straight to the Immortal Level!
He had discovered that the Imperial Level offered him no real challenge!
He now had thirty million gold crystals. For the short term, cultivation funds were sufficient! However, overall, it was still not enough!
Because restoring Nalan Jia’s body in the future would require a great deal of money!
And after her body was restored, Nalan Jia’s cultivation would also need money!
Therefore, he had to save for two people!
After entering the Immortal Level, Ye Guan’s expression instantly grew solemn. He turned to look. Not far away, a young man stood there!
Upon seeing this youth, Ye Guan was stunned.
The youth was also stunned!
This youth was none other than Qin Yao!
Qin Yao said gravely, “Should you not be at the Imperial Level?”
Ye Guan shook his head. “Too weak!”
Qin Yao fell silent.
He felt the other was pretending, yet he could not refute it.
Ye Guan smiled. “Do you want to revert to your true form and fight me?”
Qin Yao shook his head. “No!”
Ye Guan was speechless.
Qin Yao suddenly asked, “You killed Liu Qi of the Hantian Sect?”
Ye Guan nodded.
Qin Yao stared at Ye Guan. “Do you know what kind of existence his brother is?”
Ye Guan said calmly, “The man is already dead! What use is there in saying this now?”
Qin Yao said gravely, “His brother will come for you!”
Ye Guan said, “Then I will bury him!”
Qin Yao gave a thumbs up. “Bold!”
Ye Guan suddenly asked, “Brother Qin, how do you compare to that Liu Bing?”
Qin Yao shook his head. “I cannot match him. He is a genius on the Evildoer List. Though not very high, it is still beyond me.”
Ye Guan frowned slightly. “Even you cannot?”
Qin Yao nodded. “You can understand it this way. All who come here to cultivate are those who are not doing well! Because if they were capable, they would be cultivating and ranking on the Little Guan Continent! We come here because we cannot make it there. Understand?”
Ye Guan glanced at Qin Yao. “If the two of us join forces, can we beat him?”
“Hey, hey!”
Qin Yao suddenly grew wary. “Do not speak carelessly, fellow. We are not that familiar!”
Ye Guan smiled faintly. “I am just asking!”
Qin Yao looked at Ye Guan, then said, “You must be hiding your strength. How much, I do not know! I will speak of your combat power without hiding. With that level, you absolutely cannot beat Liu Bing. That Liu Bing is at the Great Tribulation Realm. Moreover, you must understand one thing. The Great Tribulation Realm there has at least ten times the substance of one in this Central Divine Continent!”
Ten times or more!
Ye Guan nodded and said softly, “So, if I encounter him, I must directly use my ultimate move to kill him instantly!”
Qin Yao stared fixedly at Ye Guan. “Do you know what you are saying? That is a genius on the Evildoer List! The Evildoer List! Let me put it this way. In your Central Divine Continent, for now, only one evildoer is on the list. That is the peerless genius of the Undying Emperor Clan. Apart from him, no one in the younger generation of your Central Divine Continent can fight!”
Ye Guan nodded and said nothing.
Qin Yao was stunned, then said, “You fellow. Are you fearless from ignorance, or do you have a good mentality?”
Ye Guan smiled. “Good mentality, I suppose!”
Qin Yao shook his head. “Then I must admire you. I am very curious. How do you maintain this mentality all the time?”
Ye Guan smiled faintly. “I do not argue with fools!”
Qin Yao’s expression instantly froze.
Damn!
This bastard is insulting me!
Ye Guan asked again, “Brother Qin, if you do not transform to fight, then leave! I paid to be here. Wasting it like this truly pains me!”
Qin Yao sighed and shook his head. “If I were you, I would not be here. I would be fleeing for my life!”
Ye Guan said calmly, “Here, top experts cannot act, right?”
Qin Yao was stunned. The next moment, his expression grew solemn. “You are deliberately waiting here for that Liu Bing!”
Ye Guan nodded.
Flee?
Where could he flee to?
Fleeing to the Dao Gate would only implicate his senior sister and master!
Therefore, he chose to wait here!
He knew people from the Hantian Sect would certainly come here!
He would bear this grudge and karma alone!
Qin Yao looked at Ye Guan. “I underestimated you!”
Ye Guan smiled faintly and said nothing. He sat cross-legged, then slowly closed his eyes.
Qin Yao did not leave either. He sat to one side, because he knew people from the Hantian Sect would arrive soon!
He wanted to see whether this fellow was just pretending or truly formidable!
Nearby, Little Tower’s voice suddenly rang in Ye Guan’s mind. “How do you plan to handle this? Let me say first, I cannot bear it! Do not get ideas about me!”
Ye Guan nodded slightly and said nothing.
Inside Little Tower, the mysterious voice suddenly said, “Little Tower, do you think next he will ask you to bear it?”
Little Tower was silent for a moment, then said, “Under normal circumstances, after killing Liu Bing, the top experts behind Liu Bing from the Hantian Sect would act to suppress him… That is not something he can withstand now. So, most likely, as you said, in the end it will be me bearing it!”
The mysterious voice smiled. “I think it may be different. This boy has many schemes!”
Little Tower said softly, “We shall see!”
Just then, Qin Yao suddenly turned to look. Not far away, a man approached. The man wore a white long robe with hair flowing over his shoulders. As soon as he appeared, his gaze fell directly on Ye Guan in the distance.
The killing intent in the man’s eyes was undisguised!
Seeing this man, Qin Yao’s expression instantly grew solemn.
Liu Bing!
Though he too was a genius from the Guanxuan Universe, he was incomparable to those on the Evildoer List.
Moreover, Ye Guan and this Liu Bing were separated by a full five tiers!
How to fight?
As if noticing something, Qin Yao turned to glance around. Soon, his face darkened!
Liu Bing had not come alone. Top experts from the Hantian Sect were hidden in the shadows!
Liu Bing walked directly to a spot not far before Ye Guan. He stared at Ye Guan. “You were waiting for me?”
Ye Guan nodded.
Liu Bing nodded slightly. “I hear you are a sword cultivator. Come, let me see how sharp your sword is!”
Ye Guan looked at Liu Bing. “I am drawing my sword!”
The instant the last word fell, a sword had already reached Liu Bing.
However, Ye Guan’s sword struck empty air!
Swish!
Space was pierced by the sword, while Liu Bing had retreated several zhang away. But the next moment, another sword arrived! Faster than the previous one!
Swish!
Yet this sword also struck empty air!
Liu Bing appeared several zhang away again!
He evaded Ye Guan’s swords neither too fast nor too slow, just right!
As Liu Bing’s right foot landed, yet another sword arrived.
This sword was faster than the previous!
Swish!
Yet it still struck empty air.
The instant the sword arrived, Liu Bing had retreated several zhang again.
This time Ye Guan did not strike again. He looked at Liu Bing and said nothing.
Liu Bing stared at Ye Guan. “Good speed, but only good!”
Ye Guan nodded. “Again!”
With that, he suddenly vanished from the spot.
This time, Liu Bing did not evade. Instead, he charged forward. The instant Ye Guan’s sword emerged, he punched directly onto the sword.
Boom!
The momentum of Ye Guan’s sword had just appeared when it met such a terrifying punch. Naturally, it could not withstand it!
Boom!
The qi sword shattered. Liu Bing pressed forward and punched Ye Guan in the abdomen!
Bang!
Ye Guan flew backwards!
Liu Bing did not continue. He stopped, right hand behind his back.
Because the outcome was decided!
However, the instant Ye Guan flew back, a sudden change occurred!
Swish!
A sword light suddenly flashed across the field!
Sword Control Technique!
Most terrifying was that this sword’s speed was more than ten times faster than the previous ones!
This sword directly broke the rules, broke spatial rules!
The first three swords had all been weak in momentum!
This sword was the true killing move!
Upon seeing this sword, Liu Bing’s pupils instantly contracted to needle points. He tried to retreat, but the sword pierced half an inch into his brow!
Swish!
Liu Bing’s entire body was pinned in place as if frozen. At the same time, Ye Guan appeared before him like a ghost. He held the qi sword but did not thrust downward.
At this moment, a white-haired elder suddenly appeared not far to the right. He stared fixedly at Ye Guan!
On the other side, the tower-guarding elder also appeared in the field. He stared at the white-haired elder. The rules here could not be broken, even by the Hantian Sect!
Blood slowly overflowed from the corner of Ye Guan’s mouth. He stared at Liu Bing before him. “You lost!”
Liu Bing stared at Ye Guan. “First feint weakness, then strike with the killing move. Impressive! However, this time I underestimated you!”
Ye Guan smiled lightly. “If you lose, you lose! Why say so much?”
Liu Bing fell silent.
Ye Guan suddenly withdrew his sword.
Liu Bing was stunned.
Ye Guan gripped his sword and turned to leave. “Three years. In three years, I will personally come to the Hantian Sect to fight you. At that time, I hope you will not underestimate me again!”
In place, Liu Bing clenched his right hand tightly and said nothing.
Act?
Naturally, he had no face to act. As others said, a loss is a loss!
If the other had not shown mercy, he would already be a corpse!
Nearby, the white-haired elder suddenly looked at Ye Guan. Killing intent filled his eyes.
At this moment, Liu Bing suddenly said, “In three years, I will wait for you at the Hantian Sect!”
Hearing this, the white-haired elder sighed and shook his head.
This young sword cultivator was truly monstrous. He had truly harboured killing intent!
But he knew that if the Hantian Sect acted to kill Ye Guan now, it would break Liu Bing’s Dao heart! It would also bring contempt from outsiders!
The other had defeated your family’s genius yet showed mercy, while you still bully the weak with numbers?
If this spread, the Hantian Sect’s reputation would be utterly ruined!
Moreover, Liu Bing was currently the most monstrous of the Hantian Sect’s younger generation. If his Dao heart broke, it would be equivalent to ruining him!
Three years!
The white-haired elder glanced at the departing youth in the distance. His expression was complicated!
What clever calculation!
What clever calculation!
This was an open scheme. The Hantian Sect had no choice but to accept!
…
Outside the Xuan Hall.
Ye Guan had walked only a few steps when he suddenly collapsed to the ground. Blood continuously poured from his mouth.
He clutched his abdomen with both hands. His five organs were all ruptured!
Ye Guan said softly, “Tower Lord, rest assured. I will not rely on you… If one day I die! I only hope that before I die, you can tell me who my father and mother are… What kind of people they were… Cough…”
Blood continuously surged from Ye Guan’s mouth, accompanied by fragments of flesh.
