I Have A Sword

Chapter 136: Elder Ji, I Am Here to See You

The Sword Master!

The students of the Academy fell to their knees in excitement.

The Sword Master was here!

However, Lu Xuan’s face went beyond pallid. The Sword Master’s arrival wasn’t a good thing for him. The moment the Sword Master investigated Ye Guan’s case, he would suffer along with the aristocratic faction, the great clan faction.

Will the Sword Master investigate Ye Guan’s case?

Lu Xuan felt extremely uneasy.

From afar, An Wujun had a solemn expression as well.

He never thought that the Sword Master would really appear. He was also worried because the An Clan would definitely get stuck between a rock and a hard place once the Sword Master investigated Ye Guan’s case.

However, a thought popped up in his head. Why would the Sword Master punish the An Clan for someone unrelated to him? That would never happen! The An Clan was related to the Sword Master.

An Wujun breathed a sigh of relief at the thought.

The onlookers kneeled, both thrilled and excited to see the Sword Master. They would have bragging rights for a lifetime, even if they caught just a glance of the Sword Master’s face.

The Sword Master looked down at Ye Guan in front of the Academy’s gates. Ye Guan was missing an arm, and he was covered in wounds. He was obviously like a lamp that had run out of fuel.

The Sword Master suddenly took the dagger from the young man’s hand. Under everyone’s gaze, he slowly bent over and helped the young man stand.

“The ground is cold, why are you kneeling?” he said.

Lu Xuan and An Wujun paled at the sight.

Ye Guan stared at the Sword Master in a daze.

“Can you save her?” he asked softly.

“Yes.” The Sword Master nodded. He looked up and waved his sleeve, sending a ray of sword light toward the skies. The onlookers stared intently at the sword light as it burst and revealed a pathway covered in darkness.

There were several green orbs floating within the pathway.

Everyone was shocked. What was that?

“How dare you!” someone bellowed from the depths of the starry skies up above. “How dare you open the Reincarnation Path and interfere with the reincarnation of living beings?! Do you want to die?!”

The voice rang like thunder that shook everyone’s hearts and eardrums.

They trembled in fear. An Wujun’s expression changed drastically.

Reincarnation Path—he had heard of it before. It was a system in the Academy that allowed its students and elders to reincarnate, but he had never seen the Reincarnation Path until now.

An Wujun was beyond astonished to find that the Reincarnation Path truly existed, but he was terrified upon realizing that the Sword Master had opened the Reincarnation Path with just a single move.

This is absurd! An Wujun’s fear multiplied as he lay flat on the ground.

He didn’t even dare to even raise his head.

An illusory figure appeared in the sky, and the entire world seemed to have become an illusion as well. A terrifying pressure enveloped everyone, making it hard for them to breathe.

Even An Wujun was affected, and he was terrified out of his wits.

He initially thought that he was an important, elder figure in the Academy, but he finally realized that his thoughts were laughable at best.

The illusory figure up above definitely deserved to be the elder of the Academy. After all, he was the master of the Reincarnation Path. No one can reincarnate without his permission.

The Sword Master calmly stared at the illusory figure without saying anything.

The illusory figure’s face changed drastically upon seeing the Sword Master.

Plop.

He fell to his knees, and his voice trembled as he shouted, “Greetings, Sword Master!”

“Leave!” said the Sword Master.

The master of the Reincarnation Path hurriedly said, “As you wish.”

He glanced at Ye Guan standing in front of the Sword Master before leaving.

The terrifying pressure vanished without a trace upon his departure.

The Sword Master extended his hand, and a green orb floated out of the Reincarnation Path.

It was Ji Xuan’s life imprint.

The Sword Master calmly said, “Gather.”

Rumble!

The earth shook violently as numerous soul fragments converged in the life imprint.

Moments later, Ji Xuan’s soul appeared in front of everyone’s eyes.

The Sword Master opened his other hand, and Ji Xuan’s life imprint slowly entered her soul.

Rumble!

The onlookers lifted their heads in surprise upon sensing an oncoming terrifying aura.

It seemed to have come from the depths of the universe.

Who’s coming?

“How dare you!” someone bellowed, “How dare you break the natural order by reversing life and death?! Who do you think I am, a useless bum?!”

The Sword Master frowned and looked up.

An illusory figure was congealing overhead.

The illusory figure soon solidified and looked down.

The illusory figure’s expression changed as if he had been struck by lightning. Damn it! What did I just say?! The illusory figure panicked.

“What?” the Sword Master looked at the illusory figure and asked, “Are you going to hit me?”

Plop.

The illusory figure’s legs grew soft, and he eventually kneeled.

His voice was trembling as he said, “Academy Chief, I had no idea that it was you. Let me… let me kowtow to you as an apology.”

With that, the illusory figure vigorously kowtowed.

The Sword Master shook his head and said, “Scram.”

“All right!” The illusory figure hurriedly said, “I’m scramming!”

He surreptitiously glanced at Ye Guan before leaving.

Meanwhile, the onlookers couldn’t believe their eyes.

The Sword Master was indeed formidable.

Ji Xuan’s soul was finally reformed. She opened her eyes slowly, and she was stupefied to find Ye Guan standing in front of her.

“I… I’m still alive?” she muttered in disbelief.

Ye Guan was relieved to see that Ji Xuan had been resurrected, and the fatigue that he had been keeping at bay finally overwhelmed him.

He closed his eyes and fell forward, but the Sword Master caught him.

The onlookers were stupefied.

Lu Xuan and An Wujun’s expressions turned ugly.

There was no mistaking it. The Sword Master had a great impression of Ye Guan.

However, the Sword Master had always cherished talents, so it wasn’t strange that he had taken a liking to Ye Guan.

The Sword Master looked at Ye Guan and opened his palm. Moments later, mysterious green lights manifested, giving off an air reminiscent of nature. The green lights flew toward Ye Guan and entered him like a deluge.

Ye Guan’s injuries healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After a long while, Ye Guan slowly opened his eyes and asked softly, “Am I still alive?”

The Sword Master nodded with a smile. “Yes.”

Ye Guan turned to look at Ji Xuan, who was also looking at him.

Ye Guan grinned brightly at her while Ji Xuan looked down without saying anything.

Meanwhile, the Sword Master turned to look at Lu Xuan and An Wujun.

Lu Xuan and An Wujun sensed the Sword Master’s gaze, and their expressions fell.

The Sword Master shook his head and murmured softly, “I’m disappointed.”

With that, he turned to look at Ye Guan and said, “Follow me.”

He started walking away, but he seemed to have recalled something and came to a halt.

He glanced at Ji Xuan and said, “Miss, you should come with us.”

Ji Xuan hesitated, but she still followed behind Ye Guan.

The color had drained from Lu Xuan and An Wujun’s faces.

Disappointed! The onlookers heard the Sword Master’s words.

It was over; they were done. How come they thought they were done when the Sword Master still hadn’t made a move against them? Simple, the Sword Master had cut off Lu Xuan and An Wujun’s future with just a few words.

An Wujun was indignant, and his voice trembled as he cried out, “Sword Master! Is… is my ancestor doing well?”

An Lanxiu! An Wujun was trying to play the sympathy card. The onlookers stared at the Sword Master. Would the Sword Master forgive the An Clan on account of their ancestor?

The Sword Master came to a halt. He fell silent for a while before he turned to Ye Guan and smiled before asking, “What do you think I should do with the An Clan?”

Everyone froze and stared at Ye Guan with bated breaths.

Ye Guan was expressionless as he replied, “The An Clan’s two Martial Goddesses are your relatives. Does my opinion ever matter?”

The Sword Master merely smiled before declaring, “The An Clan members who have participated in the attempt to hunt Ye Guan down shall be killed. They will not be allowed to reincarnate.

”The younger members of the An Clan and the An Clan’s descendants over the next one thousand years shall be sent to the Main Guanxuan Academy, and they are prohibited from becoming faculty members of the Academy or become officials of any nature!”

An Wujun’s face went as pale as a sheet of paper, and he collapsed.

It was over for them. They were utterly done!

The Sword Master glanced at An Wujun before shouting, “Come, Heavenly Dao!”

Boom!

A rift in space was torn open in front of the Sword Master, and an illusory figure emerged from the rift. The illusory figure slowly kneeled in front of the Sword Master.

The Sword Master calmly said, “Lock his divine soul in the Heaven’s Writ Prison. He shall suffer for ten thousand years, and he shall not be allowed to reincarnate.”

The illusory figure hurriedly nodded.

An Wujun’s voice was trembling as he said, “Academy Chief, my ancestor…”

The Sword Master made a sidelong glance at him and said, “If you’re indignant, tell your ancestor to come here and hit me!”

Everyone was dumbfounded, while An Wujun lost all hope upon hearing that.

The Heavenly Dao didn’t hesitate, and it brought An Wujun away.

An Wujun was about to suffer and be tormented for many years.

The Sword Master glanced at Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan was absolutely terrified.

Ye Guan suddenly said, “There’s an issue within the Academy’s Committee.”

The Sword Master nodded and replied, “It is normal for there to be issues.”

Ye Guan looked at the Sword Master.

The Sword Master smiled and said, “This is a rare opportunity. Walk with me.”

He glanced at Ji Xuan and said, “Lass, you can follow us, too.”

Ji Xuan nodded. “Okay!”

The three walked away.

The Sword Master’s voice suddenly pervaded the heavens. “Everyone is dismissed.”

Dismissed! Everyone was stunned, but they quickly departed.

However, Lu Xuan remained kneeling.

He knew that he no longer had a future. He chuckled bitterly. If he had only gambled at the time, his outcome would have been different. Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regrets.

Lu Xuan looked like he had aged a few hundred years in just a few moments.

A woman was looking down at Mount Canglan from above.

The woman was none other than Ao Qianqian!

A few powerhouses of the Ancient Heavenly Dragon Clan were standing behind her.

An old man was standing next to Ao Qianqian. He was Ao Sheng, the Clan Leader of the Ancient Heavenly Dragon Clan.

Ao Sheng and the members of the Ancient Heavenly Dragon Clan were still shaken by what they had witnessed. They had come here to kill Ye Guan, but Ao Qianqian stopped them, so they got late.

However, their late arrival ended up saving their clan.

Ao Qianqian wordlessly stared at Mount Canglan.

Her gamble had paid off! The Ancient Heavenly Dragon Clan was saved.

Ao Sheng sighed softly and said, “Lass, your judgment saved us all.’

Ao Qianqian remained silent. Didn’t you just say that I was soft just because I was a woman? Didn’t you just say that we should always be ruthless to our enemies?

Haaa… Ao Qianqian sighed as well.

Moments later, she turned around and left without saying anything.

…

Meanwhile, the Sword Master brought Ye Guan and Ji Xuan to a tomb within the Academy. The Sword Master kneeled and muttered, “Elder Ji, I’m here to see you.”

He smiled gently and added, “I really miss the times of the Canglan Academy. It is a pity that although the land is still here, everyone has gone…”
