I Have A Sword

Chapter 527: Annihilate Great Dao!

Everyone fell into deep thought at the old man's remark.

Truthfully speaking, Ye Guan's bounty was very attractive to them. After all, obtaining a strand of Ancestral Origin without having to fight for their lives would be a huge blessing. However, the offer was so absurd that it was unbelievable.

Was Ye Guan really so nice?

Just then, a spacetime rift was torn open in front of them. They looked up and saw two figures walking out of the rift slowly.

The two figures were none other than Ye Guan and Ye Qingqing. As usual, Ye Qingqing was wearing a black dress and was exuding a cold and charming aura.

Ye Guan was wearing a white robe, and his demeanor was elegant and restrained as usual.

The old man from the Hidden Clan frowned.

Ye Guan glanced at the old man and smiled. Then, he looked at the Heavenly Yuan Sovereign and the Time Reversers.

"Are you all hesitating?" he asked.

The Heavenly Yuan Sovereign and the Time Reversers stared wordlessly at Ye Guan. Evidently, they were still very wary of him.

"How many lives have been sacrificed since you people started chasing me?" asked Ye Guan.

The Heavenly Yuan Sovereign and the Time Reversers frowned.

"You've been chasing after me for such a time now, and what have you obtained? Nothing. Just now, the old man here said that I'm counting the chickens before they hatch. Forgive me for being blunt, but isn't the Clan Leader of the Past Clan doing the same thing?"

Silence fell upon the Time Reversers. Indeed, so many of their comrades had fallen in their chase after Ye Guan that they could no longer count the deceased. Ye Guan was right as well; The Clan Leader of the Past Clan had been counting her chickens even though they had yet to hatch.

The Time Reversers suddenly felt sad at the realization. In the eyes of ordinary people, they were revered as invincible Time Reversers. However, they knew all too well that they were nothing more than pawns in the eyes of certain figures.

A Time Reverser stepped forward just then and stared earnestly at Ye Guan. "Young Master Ye, are your promises genuine?"

All eyes landed on Ye Guan.

Ye Guan nodded and explained, "Of course, it's true. A hundred years later, any Time Reversers will obtain a strand of Ancestral Origin. Sovereign-level supreme elites will obtain three strands. Of course, the condition is not to be hostile to me."

Upon hearing Ye Guan's words, the Time Reverser clasped his fist and said, "Young Master Ye, I believe in you. I apologize for my previous actions. I hereby promise that from this moment on, I will no longer target you or anyone related to you."

With that, he bowed deeply and left. He chose to leave because he still had nearly a hundred years of lifespan, so he wasn't in a hurry. He also didn't want to become anyone's pawn. Right now, he only had one priority—survival!

The Time Reverser left one after another. Clearly, none of them wanted to be someone else's pawn.

The old man from the Hidden Clan remained calm and didn't stop anyone.

Soon, over a hundred Time Reversers ended up leaving. However, the mysterious army as well as the saber wielder at the helm of the army stayed.

Ye Guan glanced at the saber-wielding army and smiled. Then, he turned to look at the Heavenly Yuan Sovereign.

The Heavenly Yuan Sovereign remained silent, but he was hesitating inwardly.

How about leaving? He truly wanted to leave. However, he'd reach the end of his lifespan after a hundred years, and if Ye Guan ended up failing, he'd be left with nothing.

If he was to continue his attempt on Ye Guan's life... the Heavenly Yuan Sovereign couldn't help but glance at Ye Guan and Ye Qingqing standing not too far away from him.

Was Ye Guan easy to kill? Certainly not!

Many Sovereign-level supreme elites had fallen during their numerous fights against Ye Guan. Even Guzhen ended up perishing, which proved that Ye Guan was indeed extraordinary and a force to be reckoned with.

The Heavenly Yuan Sovereign sighed.

Everyone looked at the Heavenly Yuan Sovereign. He had become the Time Reversers' leader since Guzhen's death, which was why the Heavenly Yuan Sovereign's decision was important to them.

Ye Guan was also looking at the Heavenly Yuan Sovereign, waiting for the latter's decision. The Heavenly Yuan Sovereign suddenly looked at the old man from the Hidden Clan.

Ye Guan's brows furrowed, and his gaze grew cold at the sight. Obviously, the Heavenly Yuan Sovereign wanted to earn more by negotiating with the Hidden Clan.

However, the old man from the Hidden Clan stared coldly at the Heavenly Yuan Sovereign. He naturally understood what the Heavenly Yuan Sovereign was trying to do. Ye Guan's offer was already generous, but the Heavenly Yuan Sovereign wasn't exactly satisfied with it, so he wanted to see what the Hidden Clan could offer to him.

The Heavenly Yuan Sovereign was being greedy!

The old man stared wordlessly at the Heavenly Yuan Sovereign.

The Heavenly Yuan Sovereign was shocked upon seeing the old man's gaze. He wasn't a fool, and he reckoned that both Ye Guan and the old man had already caught on to what he was trying to do here, which meant that both sides were now unhappy with him.

In other words, he had thought too highly of himself. The Heavenly Yuan Sovereign immediately looked at Ye Guan and clasped his fists. "Young Master Ye, please forgive me for my transgressions so far.."

With that, the Heavenly Yuan Sovereign turned around and fled.

In the end, he decided to leave, as he couldn't really see any hope of killing Ye Guan.

Ye Guan was becoming more and more monstrous after each fight, and he had many tricks up his sleeve.

The Heavenly Yuan Sovereign had lost confidence in continuing the fight. He reckoned that if he had stayed, he would probably meet his end here. Ideologies? He had his own ideology as well, but it seemed far-fetched for him right now.

The Heavenly Yuan Sovereign decided that it would be better for him to focus on his survival in the meantime!

The Baixiang Sovereign and the Warlord Sovereign exchanged looks. Eventually, they sighed and left as well.

The Past Clan had the advantage in numbers, but they really didn't want to risk their lives anymore. To make matters worse, Ye Guan wasn't exactly weak. If Ye Guan were weaker, they'd certainly be willing to bully him in exchange for some benefits.

Unfortunately, fighting Ye Guan meant risking their lives, and they no longer wanted to risk their lives.

The Sovereign-level supreme elites had chosen to depart, so the remaining Time Reversers left one after another. They dared not to stay here, as even the Sovereign-level supreme elites had chosen to leave.

The old man from the Hidden Clan didn't even stop them, much less attempt to stop them.

Ye Guan's expression became solemn at the sight, and he couldn't help but become even more wary. This old man isn't doing anything? Does this mean that those Time Reversers aren't important to them at all?

Ye Guan's brows knitted as more and more Time Reversers left the scene.

However, the mysterious saber-wielding army remained motionless. Once the Time Reversers had left, the old man from the Hidden Clan turned to Ye Guan and calmly said, "Master Ye, the Clan Leader has asked me to pass on a message to you."

"What is it?"

"The evil in humans is beyond your imagination, and so is its power."

With that, the old man left with the mysterious saber-wielding army.

What does that mean? Ye Guan pondered quietly over the old man's words.

Ye Guan seemed to have recalled something and exclaimed, "The Dao!"

Ye Qingqing looked at Ye Guan and asked, "The Dao?"

Ye Guan nodded. "If it hadn't been for Sister Zhen's help, the Virtuous Dao would have been no match for the Evil Dao. Evil beliefs..."

Ye Guan looked up at the sky. Were there more evil beliefs than virtuous beliefs in this world?

Ye Guan shook his head. "Let's continue with our spar, Aunt."

With that, Ye Guan and Ye Qingqing returned to the city and entered the world inside the tiny pagoda to continue with their routine. Although the Time Reversers had left, Ye Guan dared not relax. His intuition was telling him that the war with the Past Clan had probably just begun. He had to become even stronger as soon as possible!

Ye Guan and Ye Qingqing continued their sparring inside the tiny pagoda. As usual, Ye Guan still had no choice but to eat Ye Qingqing's knuckle sandwiches.

Ye Qingqing's sword was just too sharp, accurate, fast, and strong. He couldn't resist at all.

However, Ye Guans' defeats had ignited his fighting spirit. His Mortal Bloodline was also constantly reforming his physique, and more and more intricate patterns appeared on his torso.

Clang!

Just then, Ye Guan was sent flying by Ye Qingqing's sword. Ye Qingqing's expression was cold as she said, "You're moving too slow, and your reaction speed is too slow. If I hadn't held back, you would have died. Anyway, get back up, and let's continue."

Swoosh!

Ye Qingqing transformed into a streak of sword light and attacked Ye Guan.

From afar, Ye Guan got up and rushed toward Ye Qingqing once again.

Sparring with Ye Qingqing was exhilarating, but it was exhausting as well.

Ye Qingqing seemed capable of becoming even stronger along with her opponent. Ye Guan had seen multiple glimmers of hope in defeating Ye Qingqing, but Ye Qingqing would always pour a bucket of cold water on him, making Ye Guan feel despair.

Sparring with Ye Qingqing honed not just Ye Guan's strength but his willpower as well.

Just like that, Ye Qingqing sparred with Ye Guan every day, and Ye Guan's strength improved by leaps and bounds under her guidance...

...

A woman in a white robe stood quietly among the clouds with her hands behind her back. The clouds drifted slowly, passing by her.

Just then, an old man from the Hidden Clan and a black-robed figure with a saber appeared behind the woman.

The two bowed respectfully to the white-robed woman. "Master."

"Did all of them end up leaving?" asked the white-robed woman.

"Yes," replied the old man. He hesitated briefly before asking, "If you don't mind me asking, Master. Why did you let them go?"

The white-robed woman calmly replied, "If I had forced them, what would be the difference between us and the Virtuous Dao?"

The old man bowed slightly, remaining silent.

"Open the Illusion Domain!" the white-robed woman announced.

The old man's pupils constricted in astonishment.

The black-robed figure wielding a saber also looked up at the white-robed woman, and his eyes were filled with astonishment as well. The old man hesitated briefly before saying, "But, Master! They're not of our kind..."

The black-robed figure wielding a saber was worried as well. "Master, what if we attract unwanted attention by opening the Illusion Domain?"

The white-robed woman commanded, "Just do as I say."

The two of them glanced at the white-robed woman and said nothing before retreating.

...

A woman dressed in plain robes was standing quietly in a star field somewhere.

Just then, a mysterious figure clad in black appeared not too far away from the woman.

The mysterious figure bowed respectfully and reported, "Master, I've come with the latest news! The Clan Leader of the Past Clan has ordered the opening of the Illusion Domain!"

The Illusion Domain! The woman's eyes narrowed, and she roared, "Summon everyone!"

Boom!

A gargantuan spacetime rift was abruptly torn open, and tens of thousands of formidable warriors clad in dark golden armor emerged from the spacetime rift. They all knelt down on one knee to pay respects before saying, "Greetings, Master!"

The woman's expression was cold. "Everyone, all of you shall immediately proceed to Guanxuan City!"

"As you wish, Master!" the mysterious figures exclaimed and dispersed.

"Spread the word! Those who owe favors to the Yang Family must repay those favors now. Those who haven't incurred any debts to the Yang Family, we will owe them a favor as long as they come to assist us."

The mysterious figure bowed respectfully before disappearing into thin air.

"Spread the word! Everyone must proceed according to the plan and without any deviations," the woman said.

A black-robed figure behind the woman bowed respectfully before disappearing into thin air as well.

The woman then turned her gaze into the depths of the distant starry sky, and her eyes were cold as she said, "You want to challenge me with numbers? Then, let's see who has the greater numbers."

The woman closed her eyes slowly and muttered, "Initiate the Annihilation Plan. If anything happens to my son, I want you to immediately annihilate the Great Dao. The vast expanse and the myriad beings will be buried along with my son!"
