I Have A Sword

Chapter 328: Under My Protection, Who Will Dare to Harm You?

Chapter 328: Under My Protection, Who Will Dare to Harm You?

A deafening silence blanketed the world.

The cultivators of the Holy Sect had their mouths agape, and their eyes were wide open in disbelief. The plain-skirt lady had just instantly killed a Great Destiny Sovereign.

Yes, a Great Destiny Sovereign—a supreme elite of this world. The Holy Sect cultivators were as still as stone statues as they reeled in shock.

Even Ye Guan wasn't spared. Isn't she a bit too overpowered?

The plain-skirt lady chuckled upon seeing Ye Guan's expression.

"No one can kill me, while I can kill everyone,” she said.

Those are my words! Ye Guan clenched his hands. His heart started to beat wildly against his chest. The plain-skirt lady smiled gently and said, "You have to defeat me if you want to become invincible in the truest sense of the word."

Ye Guan asked, "Can Father beat you, Aunt?"

The plain-skirt lady blinked and replied, "Yes."

Ye Guan was bewildered.

The plain-skirt lady added, "It's because I don't retaliate when he strikes."

Ye Guan smiled wryly and muttered, "I see..."

The plain-skirt lady laughed and said, "Your journey is still unfolding, but I believe you possess the determination to overcome any obstacles."

She then picked up the Path Sword and whispered, "You know, I've been waiting—I've been waiting for you to return this sword to me. I didn't expect it to happen so soon. This sword isn't just mine; it also represents my Dao—the Invincible Sword Dao.

"Unfortunately, this sword isn't your Dao. However, letting go of this sword signifies the start of your own Dao—your own path to invincibility."

I see… Ye Guan nodded with a grin.

The plain-skirt lady muttered, "I'm leaving."

A sudden reluctance washed over Ye Guan as he stared at the plain-skirt lady,

"Will we cross paths again, Aunt?"

The plain-skirt lady smiled, but she remained silent.

Ye Guan felt a twinge of nervousness.

the plain-skirt lady noticed that and chuckled. "If you move fast enough, you might cross paths with us."

"Us? Aunt, you..." Ye Guan trailed off in shock.

The plain-skirt lady grinned and asked, "Do you know why I'm so happy today?"

Ye Guan shook his head, but he had indeed noticed that there was something different with his aunt today. Usually, she was all indifferent, but today, she was all smiles.

The plain-skirt lady chuckled and explained, "Brother has agreed to let go of everything. He has agreed to no longer bother with worldly affairs and to accompany me on a journey wherever I please. Moreover, the decision lies to me!"

The plain-skirt lady broke out into a charming grin as she added, "And it's just going to be the two of us!"

Ye Guan reeled in astonishment.

The plain-skirt lady looked up at the starry sky, no longer wearing her mask of indifference. A gentle look suffused her face as she muttered, "The Milky Way is nice, so I will make it our first stop! Apparently, the melons there are delicious, and I think I'm going to give them a try."

After saying this, she turned to Ye Guan and said, "Young man, work hard, and don't stop working hard. I'm really looking forward to the day when you've become strong enough to defeat me.

"Let me tell you a secret: your aunt is really strong—stronger than you can imagine. Hahaha, If you're free, come to the Milky Way and call out to me. If you're tired and you no longer want to fight, you can call out for me as well.

"Under my protection, who will dare to harm you?"

The plain-skirt lady transformed into a streak of sword light and soared to the skies with the Path Sword in hand. She could no longer be seen, but her voice was still echoing from the depths of the starry skies.

"I will do you another favor. I've suppressed the Great Daoist Brush Master in the Milky Way. His destiny will not be able to affect you in any way so long as he's in the Milky Way."

Left with no choice, the Great Sovereign suppressed his anger and forced a smile. "Young Lord, you see..."

Ye Guan fixed his gaze on the Great Sovereign and repeated, "Sixty billion!"

The Great Sovereign sighed and said, "Young Lord, let's be reasonable here. There are only six billion spiritual cores in here. It's too—"

Ye Guan waved his hand dismissively. "I don't want any negotiations. Sixty billion spiritual cores. Speak of it again, and you will bear the consequences."

The Great Sovereign didn't dare to voice his anger.

"Young Lord, please wait! We'll go and gather it!" he said frantically. He turned to an old man next to him and roared, "What are you doing standing there? Move!"

The old man didn't dare to hesitate and vanished on the spot.

Ye Guan sat down cross-legged and began to reconstruct his fleshy body.

The Great Sovereign glanced at Ye Guan with fearful eyes, but he was confused at the same time. How come they had never heard of such a young swordsman, even though they knew the names of every heaven-defying talent in the Chaotic Star World?

He had also never heard of the plain-skirt lady. Could they be from the outside world? The Great Sovereign’s face darkened when he thought of that. Indeed, there was a high chance that Ye Guan was from the outside world!

Just then, the Great Sovereign's cold gaze landed on Manager Qin. His eyes radiated thick, killing intent. He had heard about the shady dealings of the Yunhai Merchant Guild, but he didn't expect her to be so foolish as to extort a young man capable of producing six billion spiritual cores.

Six billion spiritual cores was such an astounding amount that anyone with that much money on their person had to be with extraordinary origins. The Yunhai Merchant Guild had made a foolish move by attempting to cheat such an individual out of their money without doing any investigations.

The Yunhai Merchant Guild was annihilated, and the Sect Master of the Holy Sect had perished. The Holy Sect's reign was over. Without a Great Destiny Sovereign to lead them, how could they compete with the Martial Sect?

The Great Sovereign sighed deeply.

Manager Qin went pallid upon seeing the cold gaze of the Great Sovereign. She slumped to the ground and started wallowing in her despair. However, she suddenly recalled something, and she cast a resentful gaze at Ye Guan.

"This is all your fault!" she roared, "You should have revealed your origins right off the bat!"

Knowing that her death was certain, she no longer feared anything.

Ye Guan's brows furrowed, and he asked, "Are you out of your mind?"

"This is all your fault! I wouldn't have been tempted by your paltry few billion spiritual cores if you had just revealed your identity right off the bat!" Manager Qin roared defiantly.

Ye Guan was stunned. Manager Qin's logic had caught him off guard.

Even the nearby Great Sovereigns were taken aback.

Manager Qin became more and more agitated as she shouted, "Yes, I was greedy, but you're not completely faultless, either!"

Ye Guan had no idea what to say.

"Shut up!" the Great Sovereign next to her shouted and waved his sleeve.

Boom!

Manager Qin exploded into a bloody mist.

The Great Sovereign who had just killed her cursed, “What the fuck was that?”

The Great Sovereign could no longer watch her tirade, so he decisively made a move.

Ye Guan was truly surprised. It seemed that there would always be people unwilling to admit that they had made a mistake and would rather put the blame onto others than accept their mistakes.

Ye Guan shook his head and closed his eyes to continue reconstructing his fleshly body. It didn't take him long to reconstruct his fleshly body.

Soon, the old man who had left to fetch the required spiritual cores finally returned and handed it over to the strongest Great Sovereign among their group.

The strongest Great Sovereign examined the storage ring, and his expression turned ugly. His heart was bleeding, but he didn't hesitate to extend it over to Ye Guan while saying, "Young Lord, this storage ring only contains fifty billion spiritual cores. It represents the entire treasury of the Holy Sect. We've truly exhausted all means to gather your spiritual cores, so we hope that you'll reconsider…"

Ye Guan accepted the storage ring and said, "Just pay me later."

"Yes, we will!" the strongest Great Sovereign replied almost immediately. With that, he led the others away. Once the cultivators of the Holy Sect were no longer in his view, Ye Guan stood up and turned around to leave as well.

However, a low rumbling suddenly shook the air, and a fist struck Ye Guan's stomach before he could even react. Ye Guan spat a mouthful of blood as he was blasted at least several kilometers away, and he spat a few more mouthfuls of blood in mid-air.
