I Have A Sword

Chapter 117: I Don’t Want to Talk

“Showy?”

Ye Guan blinked and asked seriously, “Master Pagoda, are you really talking about the Sword Master?”

Little Pagoda was silent. Goodness, this bastard is too smart!

Ye Guan was once again baiting out answers from him.

If it hadn’t been for the mysterious voice, he would have spilled some beans.

Ye Guan was smart enough to extrapolate scarily accurate information from mere fragments of information. Little Pagoda felt like he was being pushed into a corner whenever he was talking to Ye Guan.

He really had to pay extra attention whenever he was talking to Ye Guan in the future. Otherwise, he would be screwed!

Little Pagoda went silent, so Ye Guan also went silent.

It seemed that someone else had interrupted Little Pagoda right as he was about to say something.

Ye Guan suddenly asked, “Master Pagoda, is there someone else in the pagoda?”

Little Pagoda remained silent.

The mysterious voice sighed. “Little Pagoda, I don’t think you can outsmart him.”

Little Pagoda didn’t speak. His previous two masters had taken advantage of him completely. Could it be that his third master would take advantage of him as well?

No way! He had to suppress this brat.

Otherwise, Little Pagoda would truly become just a tiny pagoda.

Little Pagoda said, “Actually, your worries are not unfounded.”

Ye Guan was stunned.

Little Pagoda explained, “Think about it: the Sword Master founded the Guanxuan Academy, so why would he punish his people because of an outsider like you? Isn’t that betraying his roots? The An Clan is also close to him, and his wife is from the An Clan. Who’s closer to him, the An Clan or you?”

Ye Guan remained silent.

Little Pagoda continued. “You killed the An Clan members and the Heavenly Dao of the Zhongtu Divine Continent. You had your own reasons for doing so, but if the Sword Master appears, he’ll probably help the Guanxuan Academy.

”In other words, you have to be prepared!”

Ye Guan was at a loss for words.

The mysterious voice suddenly asked, “Why are you scaring him?”

Little Pagoda calmly replied, “I have to scare him. Otherwise, this brat will keep on scheming against me.”

Ye Guan suddenly asked, “Why do I feel as though you know the Sword Master?”

Little Pagoda replied, “I know him, but he doesn’t know me.”

Ye Guan shook his head and said, “I think you’re very familiar with him.”

After a few moments of silence, Little Pagoda asked, “Why do you think so?”

Ye Guan smiled and explained, “You said that the Sword Master has always been a showy individual, but how would you know that if you’re not very familiar with him?

”In addition, you even told me to look for another role model when I told you that I wanted the Sword Master to be my role model.

“You also don’t really sound respectful whenever you talk about the Sword Master. You always sound like you’re describing a friend whenever you mention him. Unfortunately, I still really can’t tell just how familiar you are with him.”

Little Pagoda was rendered speechless. Damn it! The more I talk, the more I inadvertently reveal! I have to talk less to this brat, or I will eventually let the cat out of the bag.

Ye Guan chuckled and said, “Master Pagoda, I won’t ask you such questions anymore.”

Little Pagoda asked, “What? Why?”

Ye Guan said, “I don’t care about the reason why you suddenly appeared by my side. You’ve always been kind to me, and you haven’t done anything bad to me.

”You’ve also rescued me many times before, so I believe that you have your own reasons for hiding things from me.”

Little Pagoda asked the mysterious voice, “What is he doing right now? Is he trying to bait some answers out of me again?”

The mysterious voice replied, “I think he’s telling you his true feelings.”

Little Pagoda sighed. “He’s making me feel bad now. I’d rather let him bait answers out of me than this.”

Ye Guan went silent as he stared at the starry skies. The stars flickering in the distance provided little light in the endless darkness. Ye Guan felt tiny in the vast expanse. He truly didn’t expect that things would take such a drastic turn.

Little Pagoda’s words also worried him.

Was the Sword Master closer to the An Clan or to him?

The answer was the An Clan. If the Sword Master were to seek justice for Ye Guan, it would be like delivering his own head to Ye Guan, which didn’t make sense at all.

Unfortunately, Ye Guan had no choice but to go to Qingzhou. It would be great if the Sword Master was magnanimous enough to seek justice for him. Otherwise, Ye Guan would have no choice but to kill himself using the Path Sword.

“Look!” Ji Xuan exclaimed while pointing somewhere.

Ye Guan emerged from his thoughts and saw a smiling young man holding a long saber.

“They’re here!” exclaimed Ji Xuan.

Ye Guan nodded. “They’re fast.”

Ji Xuan made the cloud ship come to a complete stop before storing it away. She couldn’t let the cloud ship be destroyed in the upcoming battle.

The young man stared at Ye Guan and asked, “You must be Ye Guan.”

Ye Guan nodded.

The young man grinned. “I’ll obtain two strands of the Great Dao Destiny and a million immortal spiritual crystals, so I hope you don’t mind if I take your head away with me!”

Swoosh!

Ye Guan abruptly vanished.

Shrieeek!

The air shrieked as Ye Guan executed the Instant Death Strike.

The young man’s eyes narrowed. He was about to brandish his saber, but Ye Guan’s sword got to him first.

Thwik!

Fresh blood flowed down Ye Guan’s sword.

The young man’s face was soon covered in his own blood.

Ye Guan’s sword scattered into innumerable sword energy fragments. He took the young man’s storage ring and saw three million gold spiritual crystals inside of it.

Ye Guan glanced at the young man’s saber.

It looked pretty sturdy and durable, so he took it away as well.

Ye Guan walked over to Ji Xuan and said, “I think they’re underestimating me.”

“I don’t think so.” Ji Xuan chuckled. “I think the Main Guanxuan Academy’s rewards are just too enticing that even those who are clearly unqualified to compete have decided to take part for the sake of the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

Ye Guan nodded in agreement. He wasn’t too familiar with the Great Dao Destiny, but he was aware of just how much money a million immortal spiritual crystals was. It was an amount enough to entice just about anyone.

Ji Xuan abruptly turned.

She stared at the nothingness and asked, “Are you not going to show yourself?”

Ye Guan turned to look as well.

“Hahaha!” A boisterous peal of laughter echoed in the distance. “As expected of An Daoxin’s killer. Hehe, you’re pretty strong.”

A group of people approached Ye Guan and Ji Xuan. The group was composed of two young men and a young woman, and the leader was a spear-wielding young man in his twenties.

He was smiling, but his eyes were as sharp as knives.

He also gave off a terrifying air and was a Major Tribulation Realm cultivator.

A large-framed young man clad in heavy armor stood next to the spear-wielding young man. The large-framed young man gave off an air reminiscent of a huge mountain. He was also carrying a shield with strange markings on its surface.

Meanwhile, the one and only woman in the group was a woman in a white skirt. Her hands were hidden in her pockets, and she glared icily at Ji Xuan.

They were all Major Tribulation Realm cultivators.

Ye Guan turned to look at the spear-wielding young man and asked, “Are you from the Guanxuan Universe?”

The spear-wielding young man shook his head.

“Have you heard of the Dark Mercenaries?” he asked.

They’re mercenaries! Ye Guan exclaimed inwardly, but he shook his head. “No.”

The spear-wielding young man stared deeply at Ye Guan.

“Are we that low-key?” he muttered blankly.

Ji Xuan turned to Ye Guan and whispered, “The Dark Mercenaries is the best mercenary group on the Zhongtu Divine Continent.”

Ye Guan’s eyes narrowed at the revelation.

The spear-wielding young man was about to say something, but Ye Guan stepped forward and vanished.

Instant Death Strike!

The young woman in a white skirt lifted her hand, and the surrounding space distorted violently. The spacetime gravity acting on her immediate surroundings immediately increased by a few dozen times.

Ye Guan’s speed was reduced significantly.

The large-framed young man saw that, and he charged at Ye Guan with his shield.

His formidable shield folded space itself into multiple layers, creating a crack in space that resembled spider webs.

Ye Guan’s eyes narrowed, and he held his sword up to defend himself.

Boom!

The collision sent Ye Guan back a few meters, but before he realized it, a spear was already heading for him. The spearhead emitted a dazzling spear light, and it seemed strong enough to carve a path in the middle of a carnage.

Ye Guan stepped back and thrust his sword forward.

Clang!

His sword and the spear collided with each other, creating ripples powerful enough to distort space.

Ye Guan’s pupils constricted.

A figure had suddenly appeared behind him.

It turned out that the group had a fourth member, and he was the assassin.

Swoosh!

A saber light flashed.

Clang!

The assassin was sent flying away, but he immediately disappeared like a ghost the moment he recovered from Ji Xuan’s attack.

Ji Xuan had come to his rescue, and the reason she hadn’t made a move until now was that she was worried about a sneak attack.

Ye Guan no longer had to worry about the assassin, so he swung his sword once more.

Clang!

The spear-wielding young man was sent flying a few meters away. He soon came to a stop and examined his arm. His arm had gone completely numb.

The spear-wielding young man remarked, “It seems that you really did kill An Daoxin. It’s a good thing that your cultivation base is low. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for us to kill you.”

Ye Guan remained calm at the remark. He stared at the spear-wielding young man before vanishing once more.

Instant Death Strike!

This time, his target was the Divine Mage—the young woman in a white skirt.

Ye Guan knew that he had to kill her first before anyone else.

However, the young woman in a white skirt remained calm. She channeled a spell that would place more layers of spacetime gravity around Ye Guan. At the same time, the large-framed young man stepped in front of her with his shield.

“AAAAH!” He yelled and raised his shield up to defend.

Boom!

Ye Guan’s sword struck the shield, and the impact made the large-framed young man’s arm tremble. The large-framed young man retreated to give the young woman in a white skirt a time window to cast her channeled spell.

She pointed at Ye Guan and shouted, “Slow down!”

Rumble!

A mysterious force enveloped Ye Guan, and he abruptly slowed down. Right then, the spear-wielding young man reappeared in front of Ye Guan, and he immediately thrust his spear at Ye Guan.

At the same time, the large-framed young man ran toward Ye Guan while carrying the heavy aura of a massive mountain. He was attempting to further slow Ye Guan down using his aura.

Ye Guan’s eyes narrowed. He gripped his sword tightly, and his eyes were still fixated on the young woman in a white skirt in the distance.

The large-framed young man was about to reach Ye Guan, but he inexplicably broke through every suppression to reappear in front of the young woman in a white skirt.

The young woman in a white skirt cried out in horror, “You shattered—”

Ye Guan’s sword at her forehead interrupted her. She quivered in fear, and her voice was trembling as she continued. “You shattered the spacetime rules!”

The spear-wielding young man’s face immediately changed.

“Young Lord Ye, please be merciful! We can talk this out—”

Shwik!

Ye Guan pushed his sword into the young woman’s skull.

Ye Guan turned toward the spear-wielding young man and said, “I’m in a bad mood, so I don’t want to talk.”
