I Have A Sword

Chapter 59: Do Less Evil

After entering the city, Ye Guan and Nanling Yiyi walked down the streets.

They bought many things, and Ye Guan paid for all of them because Nanling Yiyi was poor. She couldn’t really be blamed because anyone with such a master would be poor as well.

The two soon found themselves in the Immortal Treasures Pavilion.

The Immortal Treasures Pavilion sold so many things that one could buy almost anything here. They walked around the store once, and Ye Guan had already spent a total of fifty thousand gold spiritual crystals.

Ye Guan had to admit that his heart ached upon spending so much money.

The two soon got ready to leave after purchasing the items that caught their eyes.

They left the Immortal Treasures Pavilion.

“Nanling Yiyi!” shouted someone from somewhere.

Ye Guan turned around and saw a group looking at them. The group was composed of three men and a woman.

The white-robed man at the helm of the group walked to Ye Guan and Nanling Yiyi.

The white-robed man smiled and said, “It really is you!”

Nanling Yiyi wordlessly stared at the white-robed man.

Ye Guan frowned. Are they here to cause trouble?

The white-robed man said, “Yiyi, I really didn’t expect to see you here.”

Nanling Yiyi nodded slightly and glanced at Ye Guan.

Ye Guan understood that she didn’t want to talk to them, so he turned around and was about to leave with her.

However, the white-robed man interrupted. “Brother Ye Guan, please wait.”

Ye Guan turned and cast a bewildered gaze at the white-robed man. “Do you know me?” he asked.

The white-robed man nodded and said, “I’m not sure if you know this, Brother Ye Guan, but the True Dragon Clan has put a bounty on your head. You’ve become a wanted man throughout the Zhongtu Divine Continent!”

A wanted man! Ye Guan frowned, but he didn’t say anything. He knew that the True Dragon Clan would do something like that.

The white-robed man fell into contemplation before saying, “Brother Ye Guan, I would like to speak to my younger sister for a while if you don’t mind.”

Younger sister? Ye Guan was astonished. It turned out that the white-robed man was from the Nanling Clan. Ye Guan made a sidelong glance at Nanling Yiyi.

Sensing Ye Guan’s gaze, Nanling Yiyi calmly asked, “What do you want from me, Nanling Ren?”

Nanling Ren said, “Yiyi, you should come home with me.”

Nanling Yiyi shook her head.

Nanling Ren glanced at Ye Guan before looking back at Nanling Yiyi and saying, “Yiyi, I’ve heard that the True Dragon Clan is going to do something big. You’ll be in grave danger at the Daoist Sect.

”It doesn’t matter even if you don’t want to return to the Nanling Clan; just stay clear of the Daoist Sect.”

Nanling Yiyi shook her head resolutely. She turned to Ye Guan and said, “Let’s go!”

Ye Guan nodded and left with her.

“Yiyi, wait!” shouted Nanling Ren. He walked over to Nanling Yiyi and extended a storage ring over to her. “I know that the Daoist Sect is struggling financially, so please accept this storage ring, Yiyi. The storage ring contains three million gold spiritual crystals. Please accept it.”

Nanling Yiyi was silent. Eventually, she shook her head once more before pulling Ye Guan’s arm and walking away with him.

Nanling Ren sighed and said, “Brother Ye Guan, the True Dragon Clan is about to do something big. Be careful!”

Ye Guan glanced at Nanling Ren before saying, “Thank you!”

With that, Ye Guan and Nanling Yiyi soon disappeared at the end of the street.

Nanling Ren looked down at the storage ring in his hand and sighed while shaking his head.

The man next to him said, “She’s just an illegitimate child, Big Brother. If she doesn’t want to return to the clan, so be it!”

Nanling Ren shook his head and said, “Don’t say that. Father hasn’t acknowledged her, but the blood of the Nanling Clan is still running through her veins. She’s still a blood relative.”

Nanling Ren turned to the corner where Ye Guan and Nanling Yi had disappeared before saying, “The younger generation shouldn’t have to suffer or take the blame for the older generation’s mistake. Father had done something wrong as well.”

No one dared to say anything in response. Nanling Ren was the only one who would dare to criticize the Clan Leader of the Nanling Clan. It wasn’t like he had the guts; it was all because Ancestor Nanling Han had declared him the Young Clan Leader.

His position as the next clan leader was extremely stable because of Ancestor Nanling Han’s backing.

Nanling Ren sighed in awe and remarked, “Brother Ye indeed has an extraordinary aura about him. He’s truly a rare talent. If I were the Clan Leader of the Shen Clan or the Li Clan, I would have accepted him.”

“Big Brother, he offended the True Dragon Clan, and he even killed someone from the An Clan,” said one of the men. “Accepting him means offending the True Dragon Clan and the An Clan. He’s indeed talented, but I don’t think it’s worth it to offend the True Dragon Clan and the An Clan for him.”

Nanling Ren shook his head and said, “I had that thought in mind, but I’m starting to think otherwise now that I’ve met him.”

The same man frowned in confusion and asked, “Why?”

Nanling Ren smiled and replied, “We’re too focused on the An Clan and the True Dragon Clan that we ended up ignoring an important fact. It’s the fact that he killed An Mu and a True Dragon!

”An Mu was a cream-of-the-crop talent that the Committee of the Guanxuan Academy had selected to recruit for the Destiny Contest.

“He’s one of the strongest talents not just on the Upper Realm but on the Zhongtu Divine Continent as well. He was also a True Dragon’s contractor, and his True Dragon was the talented Young Clan Leader of the True Dragon Clan.

“However, they still died at Young Lord Ye’s hands. Of course, Young Lord Ye’s achievements aren’t the only reason I think that he’s worthy of being protected.

”I think the fact that Senior Dao had accepted him as a disciple is an important fact to consider as well. After all, Senior Dao is one of Zhongtu Divine Continent’s Twelve Supreme Cultivators!”

Monk Dao!

The man went silent. Monk Dao was indeed a remarkable figure worthy of respect.

Monk Dao was the only remaining powerhouse of the Daoist Sect, but no one dared to underestimate the Daoist Sect because of his existence.

Nanling Ren continued. “There’s no way Senior Dao is unaware of what Ye Guan had done, but he still decided to accept him as a disciple.

”I thought about it, and I came up with only two reasons why he accepted Ye Guan: one, he decided to accept Ye Guan as his disciple while he was drunk.”

The other man shook his head and muttered, “That’s absurd…”

Nanling Ren chuckled and said, “Indeed. In other words, the other possibility I had come up with should be the correct answer—Ye Guan is even stronger than we think. He’s strong enough to move even Senior Dao’s heart.

”Senior Dao must have been unable to resist the temptation and accepted Ye Guan as his disciple. If my assumption is right, Ye Guan will be the Daoist Sect’s representative in the upcoming Destiny Contest.”

Destiny Contest! The same man muttered, “The Destiny Contest? It’s going to be difficult for him to make waves there.”

Nanling Ren nodded and said, “I reckon that the Destiny Contest this time around will be the most difficult Destiny Contest so far.”

“Big Brother, are you going to join the Destiny Contest?” asked the same man.

Nanling Ren shook his head and said, “I’m not strong enough to take part in the Destiny Contest, and no one in the Nanling Clan is strong enough, so we can only try to make smart decisions according to the situation, form more friendly relations with others and do less evil.

”I’ve read from the history books that clans were annihilated mostly because the clan had done many immoral and wicked deeds, which resulted in retribution.”

Nanling Ren swept his gaze across the people behind him and added, “Our Nanling Clan is one of the six great clans, but we’re insignificant in the grand scale of the universe. We must be careful in what we say, and we must avoid doing evil deeds.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Nanling Ren turned and looked at the end of the street.

“I hope they get past their upcoming trial…” he muttered.

…

Ye Guan and Nanling Yiyi hopped onto a sword and left Yong City.

Nanling Yiyi was silent as they flew above the clouds.

Ye Guan smiled and said, “Don’t overthink it. If you don’t want to return to the Nanling Clan, then don’t do it.”

Nanling Yiyi nodded and said, “The Daoist Sect is pretty good. I want to stay there.”

Ye Guan chuckled, but he abruptly stopped laughing.

Nanling Yiyi glanced at him in confusion and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Ye Guan turned to look behind him and smiled. “Are you not going to come out?”

Rumble!

The clouds parted, revealing a middle-aged man appeared. The middle-aged man was none other than Ao Meng!

Nanling Yiyi’s expression changed.

Ye Guan remained calm, seemingly aware that this would happen.

Ao Meng frowned upon seeing Ye Guan’s placid look.

His heart was soon gripped with unease. He was about to say something, but a terrifying aura suddenly locked in on him. Moments later, a hundred-meter-long saber light soared into the sky and flew toward him.

Ao Meng’s face turned ugly as he roared, “You cunning bastard!”

Ao Meng didn’t hesitate to transform into his true form upon sensing the saber light’s terrifying power.

A three-hundred-meter-long True Dragon manifested in the clouds. The True Dragon was strong, but it wasn’t strong enough to stop the saber light.

Slice!

“Awooooo!” Ao Meng wailed miserably. The saber light sliced through him, causing an immense amount of dragon blood to fall to the ground.

Ye Guan hurriedly flipped his palm over to take Ao Meng’s storage ring, and he used another storage ring to store Ao Meng’s corpse.

Nanling Yiyi stared agape. How powerful!

Monk Dao finally appeared in front of them, and he was holding a large steel saber.

A monk wielding a saber!

Ye Guan immediately showered Monk Dao with praise.

“Master is powerful and invincible!” he exclaimed.

Monk Dao stared deeply at Ye Guan and said, “Give me half of the dragon meat!”

However, Monk Dao realized that something was off and frowned.

Wait, I killed the dragon, so why should I split half of the dragon meat with this little bastard?

“Master,” Ye Guan said, “The members of the True Dragon Clan will soon come here, so I think we should hurry up and leave before anything else.”

Monk Dao replied, “I didn’t kill him the last time he came here because I didn’t want to completely ruin my relationship with the True Dragon Clan, but I just killed a high-ranking member of their clan. Do you know what that means?”

Ye Guan’s answer came a bit late.

“They’ll hunt you down to avenge their clan member!” he exclaimed.

Monk Dao’s face darkened.

Meanwhile, Nanling Yiyi stared alternatingly between Ye Guan and Monk Dao.

She finally understood what was going on.

This was a ploy!

A ploy that her Junior Disciple Ye and Master had created against Ao Meng!

Master is too devious! Nanling Yiyi shook her head while staring at Monk Dao. She then turned to look at Ye Guan and sighed in awe. Junior Disciple Ye is truly intelligent and wise!
