I Have A Sword

Chapter 593: It's Not Worth It

Everyone was shocked to see what Ye Guan had done.

Wow, are you really that bold? Your opponent here is the Wang Clan! One of the Five Great Gods' descendants Are you really going to confront them head-on?

After the initial shock, everyone was in awe of Ye Guan.

Damn, he's got guts!

They said they'd come after him once he's out of the academy. Well, here he is! Come at him!

That's how a real man should be!

Quite a few students' favor toward Ye Guan increased significantly. After all, he was a student of the Divine Academy, which meant that he was their comrade. Many female students stared at Ye Guan with fondness in their eyes.

How domineering!

Of course, many students were shaking their heads.

A young man standing next to the lady in the tight-fitting skirt sneered and said, "How Foolishness. The Wang Clan is made out of a god's descendants, and their foundations are exceedingly deep. It's foolish to confront them head-on. If I were him, I would choose to swallow my pride for the time being and avoid the Wang Clan for now."

Then, he glanced at the lady in the tight-fitting skirt next to him. The lady was expressionless as she stared at Ye Guan in the distance. Seeing her lack of reaction, the young man frowned and added, "If I were him, I'd yield to them. Doing that would appease everyone..."

The lady in the tight-fitting skirt turned to him and said, "Get away from me."

The young man's expression froze.

In the distance, Ye Guan's actions left both the Left Bishop and the Right Bishop stunned. Obviously, they had not expected Ye Guan to confront the Wang Clan head-on.

The Left Bishop's face darkened. "The recklessness of youth."

The Right Bishop had a differing opinion. "If young people aren't reckless, how can they call themselves young people?"

The Left Bishop sighed and said, "He has essentially pushed himself and the Wang Clan into a dead end. Now, neither side has a way out."

The Right Bishop calmly retorted, "Do you really think that the Wang Clan would spare him even if he hadn't gone this far?"

The Left Bishop was silent.

Meanwhile, the man in the white robe could not help but smile after seeing Ye Guan's actions. He was starting to find the young man to be quite a charming individual.

Wang Lan stared at Ye Guan. He was rather surprised by Ye Guan's decision. Then, he chuckled and said, "You truly are courageous, confronting the descendant of a god so boldly like this... But the consequences that you'll face are—"

"Spare the bullshit!" Ye Guan interrupted him, "I invite you to kill me!"

The crowd was thrown into an uproar. How incredibly bold!

The young man next to the lady in a tight-fitting skirt scoffed and said, "What a fool. Such behavior will only further enrage the Wang Clan. If I were—"

The lady in a tight-fitting skirt turned around and swung her sword at the young man.

Bang!

The young man's fleshly body was obliterated by the lady's attack.

The lady in the tight-fitting skirt looked coldly at the young man's soul and said, "I'm really not interested in you, so stop showing off before me, all right? Do that again, and I'm going to kill you, do you understand?"

The young man was at a loss for words.

Ignoring him, the lady in the tight-fitting skirt turned to look at Ye Guan in the distance. She gripped her sword tightly, and she looked like she was deep in thought.

Wang Lan laughed in exasperation and anger. "Great... what a great young man you are!"

Wang Lan wasted no words and threw a punch at Ye Guan.

It had to be known that Wang Lan was an Imperial Sovereign, so his fist literally carried with it a cataclysmic might!

Despite that, Ye Guan did not retreat. Instead, he thrust his sword forward. He did not activate his bloodlines or use any sword moves. It was just an ordinary sword thrust infused with nothing else but his revamped Invincible Sword Intent.

The sword thrust moved slowly, like a gentle breeze.

Bang!

However, Wang Lan was blasted away by Ye Guan's sword attack. He flew thousands of meters away before he could come to a screeching halt. Wang Lan's face changed drastically. He was about to speak, but Ye Guan did not give him the chance to do so as he slashed out with his sword toward Wang Lan.

Wang Lan's eyes narrowed, and he dared not confront Ye Guan's attacks head-on, as cracks had formed on his right arm when he took Ye Guan's first attack. His arm would undoubtedly become crippled if he were to take Ye Guan's attack forcefully.

He waved his sleeve, and a black light shield suddenly appeared in front of him.

The sword collided with it, and the light shield trembled. Moments later, countless cracks appeared all over it.

Ye Guan unleashed another sword strike.

Bam!

The light shield was shattered, and countless energy fragments flew in all directions.

However, Wang Lan had already retreated thousands of meters away, creating distance between himself and Ye Guan.

Wang Lan looked at Ye Guan standing in the distance, and his eyes were filled with horror as he stammered, "Y-your strength—"

Before he could finish his sentence, Ye Guan unleashed another sword strike. This sword strike was quicker than the previous one, and it arrived before Wang Lan in the blink of an eye.

Wang Lan's heart was filled with horror. He clenched his fists, and a terrifying aura surged out of his body like a tide. At the same time, he retracted his right arm and swung his fist with all his might!

He had nowhere to retreat and could only go all out.

If he won, he would live. Otherwise, he would die!

Boom!

Under everyone's gazes, Wang Lan's fist light shattered, and he was blasted away by the sword attack. Wang Lan's fleshly body began to disintegrate in mid-air, scattering flesh and blood everywhere.

Everyone's expression changed drastically at the sight.

Wang Lan was just an Imperial Sovereign Realm cultivator, but he was famous for his great strength. It was exactly the reason why everyone was so astounded to witness his fleshy body disintegrating after taking just a sword move from Ye Guan.

To make matters worse, it was just an ordinary sword slash.

Swoosh!

Ye Guan transformed into a ray of sword light, racing towards Wang Lan.

"Stop!" the Left Bishop exclaimed and stood in front of Wang Lan.

Ye Guan frowned.

The Left Bishop said in a low voice, "Ye Guan, you must think carefully about this. If you kill him, you will have an endless wave of trouble ahead of you."

Ye Guan retorted, "Would he and his Wang Clan spare me if I were to spare him?"

The Left Bishop fell silent.

Ye Guan chuckled lightly and flicked his wrist. A sword swept past the Left Bishop and pierced Wang Lan's forehead.

Boom!

Wang Lan was immobilized on the spot. He wanted to say something, but the sword on his forehead trembled violently, shattering his soul into innumerable light fragments.

After killing Wang Lan, Ye Guan turned to look at the terrified Wang Yun. Seeing that Ye Guan was staring at him, Wang Yun's face changed drastically, and he turned around to flee.

However, a sword made a beeline for him...

Wang Yun had yet to even run away when a sword pierced him.

Boom!

His flesh and soul were obliterated at the same time. He had died once more!

Everyone was silent.

Ye Guan had killed two members of the Wang Clan in a row, and they were all convinced that the enmity between Ye Guan and the Wang Clan was now irreconcilable.

The Right Bishop looked at Ye Guan and sighed. Ye Guan's relationship with the Wang Clan could no longer be salvaged. It would be a fight to the death, as there was no way the Wang Clan would let this slide.

If the Divine Academy ended up getting implicated...

Ye Guan looked at the Left Bishop and the Right Bishop and said, "Seniors, this is my personal enmity with the Wang Clan. I do not want to implicate the Divine Academy, so I—Ye Guan—will withdraw from the Academy."

Withdraw from the Academy?!

The crowd became a cacophonous din. Everyone was shocked at Ye Guan's decision, and they stared at the Left Bishop and the Right Bishop.

The two bishops were quiet; they were in a difficult position as well. If they disallowed Ye Guan from withdrawing from the Academy, it meant that the Divine Academy was going against the Wang Clan, which could lead to a war between them in the future.

The Divine Academy was not afraid of the Wang Clan, but the Wang Clan was not afraid of the Divine Academy either.

A war between them? The stakes were too high. It was like gambling with the fate of a nation—all for the sake of one Ye Guan...

The Right Bishop glanced at Ye Guan and was about to say something, but the Left Bishop beat him to the chase. "We cannot make a decision about this matter."

The Right Bishop immediately swallowed his words. That's right! This is not something that is up to us to decide! We have to consult with the Academy Chief!

Ye Guan was about to leave when the Right Bishop called out, "Wait!"

The Right Bishop said, "Ye Guan, this matter is of great significance; it is not something that the both of us can decide. We need to consult with the Academy Chief."

Ye Guan hesitated before he said, "Senior, there's no need."

"It is necessary!" the Right Bishop insisted, "Wait here for a moment, just a moment."

Upon seeing the Right Bishop's determined look, Ye Guan had no choice but to nod and say, "Okay."

The two bishops immediately turned around and bowed deeply toward the statue of the First God before chanting an ancient incantation. They had decided to contact the Academy Chief!

Everyone looked at them earnestly. Soon, the two bishops seemed to have received a piece of information that caused their expressions to become sour.

The students sighed at the sight.

Ye Guan smiled and turned around to leave.

"Wait!"

The Left Bishop appeared in front of Ye Guan and said, "Sorry."

Ye Guan replied, "It's fine."

He had never placed his hopes on others, so he would be spared from the disappointment. The Right Bishop hesitated for a moment before saying, "You should go to the First God Paradise."

Ye Guan was somewhat puzzled. "The First God Paradise?"

The Right Bishop nodded. "Yes. That's where the First God was born. There's an array all over the place, so you'll have an advantage over cultivators of higher cultivation bases than you if you go there."

The Right Bishop opened his palm, and a scroll floated over to Ye Guan.

"This is the map that will lead you to that place," said the Right Bishop.

Ye Guan did not refuse and accepted the map. "Thank you."

With that, Ye Guan turned around and left.

Just then, the Right Bishop suddenly asked, "Are you not going to ask me why the Academy Chief had chosen to give up on you?"

Ye Guan didn't even look back as he replied, "There's no need for me to know why."

The Right Bishop laughed bitterly. The Academy Chief was acquainted with the Wang Clan. At their level, geniuses or prodigies were no longer important. They were not going to pick a fight with a god's descendants for the sake of a prodigy.

It just wasn't worth it at all.

...

The man in the white robe returned to Plain-Skirt Destiny's side. He looked in the direction where Ye Guan had left and said softly, "Qing'er, I want to follow him for a while..."

Plain-Skirt Destiny nodded and said, "I'll be with you, then."
