I Have a Sword

The moment the colossal hand descended, a cold glint flashed in Plain-Skirt Destiny's eyes. In an instant, a sword appeared in the Abyssal Hell.

Boom!

The Abyssal Hell erupted into flames.

"Young Friend Ye!" A terrified voice echoed from above the Nine Heavens. "The Abyssal Hell must not be destroyed! I removed the backlash on your friend, so please stop your aunt!"

The Existing Great Dao had spoken!

Ye Guan glanced up at the Nine Heavens and smiled sheepishly. "Aunt, I actually owe the Existing Great Dao a favor…"

Plain-Skirt Destiny pressed her hand downward. The sword halted, sparing the Abyssal Hell from complete destruction. From the deepest recesses of Abyssal Hell, a terrified scream reverberated. "W-w-who are you—"

The voice was filled with fear, but it was silenced in an instant.

Plain-Skirt Destiny opened her palm, and the sword returned to her hand, along with a storage ring. She handed the ring to Ye Guan, who quickly accepted it while feeling deeply moved.

"HAHAHA!" The Third Hall Master suddenly laughed boisterously.

Everyone turned to her and saw that her hands were raised. A blood-red bolt of lightning shot up into the sky, piercing into the depths of the vast expanse.

Everyone was puzzled at the sight of it.

What is she trying to do? Why did she release a bolt of lightning?

"Not good!" the Eighth Hall Master exclaimed in horror, "She's sending a signal!"

Ye Guan whipped around to stare at the Eighth Hall Master. "Is she calling for reinforcements?"

"No," the Eighth Hall Master replied, "She's trying to attract the attention of the Tianxing Civilization!"

The Tianxing Civilization? Ye Guan was stunned.

The faces of the members of the Li Clan turned pale; Heavenly Ruler Demon and the others were shocked.

The Tianxing Civilization was the most powerful known civilization in the vast expanse, and they were known for destroying and devouring other civilizations.

Even the Nine Clans of Zhaowu had been annihilated by them.

Heavenly Ruler Demon's face was extremely grim as he stared at the Third Hall Master, seething with anger. "This woman is truly despicable; she's trying to bring us down with her!"

The Tianxing Civilization was regarded as a taboo across many worlds. The mention of their name alone would send shivers down the spines of many, and it was all because whenever the Tianxing Civilization was seen, a civilization was certainly going to disappear.

As a result, the civilizations across the vast expanse had been trying their best to hide their universe coordinates from the Tianxing Civilization.

However, the Third Hall Master had just blasted a signal to the deepest reaches of the vast expanse. It would surely draw the attention of the Tianxing Civilization and—

They dared not complete the thought.

Yi Nian was sitting on the ground inside the pagoda with her chin resting on her knees, muttering something to herself. Then, she seemed to have sensed something, and she looked up in disbelief.

Boom!

A section of the starry sky boiled and started melting bit by bit.

Everyone was bewildered.

The next moment, their faces changed drastically. A lick of flame was rapidly approaching, hurtling toward them at breakneck speeds.

It was the Tianxing Flame!

Seeing that flame, Li Ming and the others turned as pale as a sheet of paper, and their eyes became filled with fear.

When the Li Clan was at its peak, they encountered the Tianxing Civilization. It wasn't even an "encounter"—it was more like a one-sided massacre.

After all these years, they were seeing the Tianxing Flame once again for the second time around. Many people wanted to flee, but the Tianxing Flame was fast approaching. And where could they even go?

Many people revealed sorrowful looks, especially the experts of the Li Clan.

They never expected that they still couldn't escape their fate in the end.

Today, they'd lose their lives to the Tianxing Flame.

The Third Hall Master burst out into maniacal laughter, and her eyes were filled with venom as she glared at Plain-Skirt Destiny. "Aren't you strong? Come on, fight the Tianxing Civilization!"

The Tianxing Flame was already in the sky above them, and everyone could practically feel Death breathing down on them.

Even those in the Path Creation Realm were overcome with hopelessness in the face of an aura that left them with no will to resist. It was like their entire civilization was being suppressed, making them feel like they were mere ants.

The Third Hall Master was still laughing, driven to madness upon knowing that her death was near.

Just then, the lady in the plain skirt opened her palm, and the Tianxing Flame appeared in her hand. Its terrifying aura was instantly curbed, vanishing without a trace.

The world fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone looked at the lady in the plain skirt as if they were staring at a ghost in broad daylight. The Third Hall Master's laughter abruptly stopped; her mouth hung open, and her eyes were wide with disbelief.

The Tianxing Flame floated quietly above Plain-Skirt Destiny's hand; it was harmless and as obedient as an ordinary flame.

Ci Tian, Dao Jun, and the others were overwhelmed with emotion at the sight.

They were right all along. Ye Guan's Tianxing Flame had truly been subdued.

Some of them couldn't contain their excitement at the sight, but more than that, they felt an overwhelming sense of relief, thankful for the decision that they had made back then in the Great Zhou.

Plain-Skirt Destiny looked at the Third Hall Master and said, "Go on, keep on calling more people."

The Third Hall Master looked like a lunatic as she muttered, "H-h-how is this possible… h-h-how is this possible… h-h-how is this possible…"

Plain-Skirt Destiny waved her hand, and the Third Hall Master was reduced to ash, leaving only a blood-red storage ring behind. Ye Guan grabbed it and put it away.

The onlookers were envious. Ye Guan had profited a lot from the fierce battle.

Just then, rumbling noises echoed from up above. From the deepest reaches of space, a terrifying aura swept over. Everyone looked up, and their faces were filled with confusion. Who could it be?

Layers of spacetime cracked open in the depths of the starry sky, unleashing waves of an overwhelming aura.

The aura was even stronger than the Tianxing Flame just now.

Everyone was shocked, and Ye Guan was puzzled.

Moments later, a young woman emerged from the rift in spacetime.

She appeared to be around sixteen to seventeen years old, and she was dressed in a light green silk dress, with her long hair cascading over her shoulders.

There was a golden scroll in her hand, and she was exuding a serene air, looking both graceful and elegant.

All eyes were on her as she stepped forward.

The young woman's gaze fell on Plain-Skirt Destiny.

When she noticed the Tianxing Flame floating above the Plain-Skirt Destiny's palm, a flicker of surprise flitted across her beautiful eyes. "You managed to subdue the Tianxing Flame? That's impressive."

Plain-Skirt Destiny glanced at her and calmly replied, "What's so impressive about it? It was easy."

Everyone was at a loss for words.

The young woman was stunned. Then, she said, "You're truly remarkable."

"Correct," Plain-Skirt Destiny responded.

The young woman forced a smile as she struggled to find something to say.

Ye Guan asked, "Are you from the Tianxing Civilization?"

The young woman nodded slightly. "Yes."

Everyone's expressions changed.

The people from the Li Clan looked particularly apprehensive.

When they fought against the Tianxing Civilization, they had never actually seen anyone from there. They had only seen the Tianxing Flame. This was their first time seeing a real person from the Tianxing Civilization.

Ye Guan asked again, "What brings you here?"

The young woman glanced at Plain-Skirt Destiny before replying, "I came here for two reasons. First of all, I'm here to investigate the Tianxing Flame's disappearance. I'm surprised that this lady managed to subdue it. That's unprecedented; really, I've never seen that before."

The young woman sounded excited as she spoke.

Ye Guan chuckled, finding her somewhat amusing. "And what's the second reason?"

The young woman shifted her gaze away from the Tianxing Flame and looked at Ye Guan."I have a companion named Yi Nian. It's been a really long time since she showed up for work. Have you seen her?"

"Jing An!" Yi Nian appeared from out of nowhere. She glared at the young woman and raised two fingers, saying, "I still have more than two months of vacation left. Two whole months!"

Everyone present was shocked.

Young Master Ye is acquainted with people from the Tianxing Civilization?

Jing An smiled brightly upon seeing Yi Nian. "Yi Nian, I finally found you."

Yi Nian pouted. "What do you want?"

Jing An replied, "Did you forget? Every one thousand years, we have to go to the Tianxing Divine World for training. I heard that High Goddess Tianyun will be there as well!"

"High Goddess Tianyun?" Yi Nian was surprised. "She's coming in person? Are you sure that's not just a rumor?"

"Yeah, yeah!" Jing An nodded enthusiastically. "I also heard that she managed to develop an even more powerful Tianxing Flame!"

Everyone was speechless.

Yi Nian hesitated, and then she turned to Ye Guan. "Can I resign after this training?"

"Is High Goddess Tianyun really that impressive?" Ye Guan asked, sounding curious.

Yi Nian pumped her fists in excitement. "She's super impressive!"

"Hm?" Plain-Skirt Destiny said, "Have her come out and fight me, then!"

Yi Nian and Ye Guan were at a loss for words.

Jing An teleported next to Yi Nian and tugged at her sleeve, whispering, "Yi Nian, who is she? I feel like she's really strong! We should hurry up and run away from here."

"Don't worry," Yi Nian said, grabbing Jing An's hand. "She's my aunt!"

Ye Guan was astonished.
