I Have A Sword

Chapter 217: You Can Have Fun With My Aunt

They were gone. Ye Guan could no longer see them. He felt conflicted, and a longing burst out of his heart. They had just reunited, but they had to be apart so soon.

Nalan Jia walked next to him and grabbed his hand.

“I’m with you.”

“Okay.” Ye Guan nodded. He seemed to have thought of something as he suddenly asked, “Master Pagoda, do I really have a sister?”

He was astonished to find out that he actually had an older sister. He couldn’t quite believe it, so he decided to ask once more.

Little Pagoda replied, “Yes.”

Ye Guan frowned slightly, “Then, why did you not tell me about her?”

Little Pagoda responded, “It’s because you didn’t ask!”

Ye Guan’s face darkened. You didn’t say anything to me because I didn’t ask? This tiny pagoda’s going too far.

“You shouldn’t think about your sister for now,” Little Pagoda said, “You should think about dealing with the Divine Spirits here.”

Right, the Divine Spirits. Ye Guan turned and found Ruler An and the other Divine Spirits staring at him with murderous gazes.

Do I deal with them? Ye Guan was silent. He wasn’t confident about the idea.

He needed more time to become even stronger.

With that in mind, Ye Guan inwardly asked, “Master Pagoda, can you call my grandfather and ask him for help?”

The mysterious voice was dumbfounded.

Little Pagoda responded, “Dream on!”

Ye Guan was confused. “Why not?”

Little Pagoda said, “Your grandfather is even worse than your father!”

Ye Guan was silent. It was over. He was doomed! He could only rely on himself.

Ye Guan turned to look at the people behind him. Everyone was looking at him.

The Sword Master was no more, so he had become the heart of the Guanxuan Universe.

The Sword Master’s intention was very clear. The Guanxuan Universe had to count on itself in the future.

Of course, he hadn’t totally abandoned the Guanxuan Universe.

Look, I left my son, Ye Guan, for you all.

Now, they could only look at the eighteen-year-old Ye Guan.

Ye Guan’s gaze swept across everyone. There was confusion and fear in their eyes.

Ye Guan disliked it—he disliked the feeling of faith.

Everyone had faith in the Sword Master. When he was around, they all believed that the Guanxuan Universe would be safe. But now, the Sword Master was no more. They could only count on themselves, but the Divine Spirits were too powerful.

The people of the Guanxuan Universe started panicking.

“Don’t worry…” Ye Guan suddenly smiled, “My Yang Family will not… let the Guanxuan Universe perish.”

Ye Guan felt that his name was lacking, so he decided to mention the Yang Family.

“Great!”

A rift in space was abruptly torn open, revealing An Nanjing and Qi Bitian’s figures from within.

Ye Guan breathed a sigh of relief. He didn’t feel like such a liar with the help of An Nanjing and Qi Bitian. This wasn’t about courage or anything; it was about defeating the Divine Spirits.

How was he going to fight the entire True Universe with his current prowess?

What was he going to use to fight? His butt?

An Nanjing looked at Ye Guan and said, “Our Yang Family will help you protect this universe.”

Ye Guan saw himself as a member of the Yang Family, and the Yang Family wouldn’t reject him. As for Ye Xuan, it wasn’t that they didn’t want to help him. Ye Xuan had Destiny. Ye Xuan didn’t need the Yang Family’s help, while the Yang Family didn’t want to see Destiny.

Ye Guan broke out into a grin. “Great!”

He turned to look at Ruler An. He took a step and arrived in front of Ruler An in a flash.

An Nanjing and Mu Niannian appeared behind Ye Guan along with thirty-six mysterious cultivators in black holding scythes.

Qin Guan had left them behind. Their cultivation bases and overall prowess were unknown, but they knew how to fight. Qin Guan had departed with Ye Xuan, and they would only listen to either Ye Guan or Nalan Jia.

Nalan Jia looked at Ye Guan in the distance with a complicated expression. She wanted to stand behind Ye Guan as well. All she had was a small cloth sachet, and she was too weak to provide him with any assistance.

The cloth sachet: “...”

Meanwhile, the Yin Spirit’s soul was still alive. However, Ye Xuan’s sword energy was keeping an eye on her, and she obviously couldn’t move under the sword energy’s watch.

The Yin Spirit’s expression was ugly. When Ye Xuan attacked her earlier, she felt like the gap between them was like the gap between heaven and earth. The Yin Spirit thought as if she were a failure. Many years ago, Ye Xuan was just an unassuming, mediocre swordsman, but now, he had become strong enough to kill her.

Ye Guan ignored the Yin Spirit and turned toward Ruler An. “My father is fighting against your True God, so why don’t we fight after the winner between them is determined?”

Ruler An replied, “You’re just trying to buy time.”

Ye Guan was silent. It turned out that Ruler An wasn’t so easy to fool.

Ruler An turned to look at Yin Spirit and said, “Yin Spirit, we can’t let him live. He’ll eventually become the next Sword Master if we give him enough time to grow.”

Yin Spirit was silent. Can’t you see the sword energy above me?

Ye Guan gave up on Ruler An and looked at Yin Spirit.

“If you die, will Ruler An get promoted?”

Both the Yin Spirit and Ruler An frowned.

The other Divine Spirits looked at Ye Guan with a sinister expression.

What a treacherous human. He was trying to create a rift between them so that they would fight each other.

Everyone knew what Ye Guan was trying to do, but none of them dared to do anything.

The Yin Spirit would definitely die if a fight were to break out.

Ruler An met Ye Guan’s eyes. This bastard is eviler than I thought.

Ye Guan stared at Yin Spirit and asked, “How about this? Let’s have a ceasefire for a year. No huge battles can break out between us in the meantime. Skirmishes are fine, as I really admire the brilliant youngsters of the True Universe. The young talents of the True Universe are welcome to challenge me anytime they wish.”

Ruler An stared at Ye Guan and pointed out. “You just want more time to become even stronger.”

Ye Guan looked at Ruler An and said, “How come you’re against it? Is it because you’re not the one who’s going to die if we were to fight right now?”

The Yin Spirit’s gaze turned cold as she stared at Ruler An. She wasn’t stupid, so she could see what Ye Guan was trying to do here. The issue was Ye Xuan’s sword energy above her. Start fighting? It can be done, and there’s a huge chance that we’ll win.

The Guanxuan Universe is too weak at the moment. Without the Sword Master, the Guanxuan Universe would most likely lose against us.

The Yin Spirit truly wanted to kill Ye Guan.

Ye Guan was just too talented, and the Yin Spirit reckoned that it was only a matter of time before he became the next Sword Master.

Unfortunately, the Yin Spirit would die before anyone else here if they were to fight right now! How about sacrificing herself for the greater good? No! Never!

The Yin Spirit looked at Ye Guan and asked, “A year?”

Ye Guan nodded. “Just one year.”

He wanted to scream and ask for more time, but it was impractical. Even if Yin Spirit agreed, the higher-ups in the True Universe wouldn’t allow it. However, there was a high chance that they would agree to a year-long cease ire.

Hence, Ye Guan chose to settle for a year. He couldn’t be too greedy.

The Divine Spirits of the True Universe weren’t easily fooled, especially Ruler An.

Ruler An said, “From what I know, he has a pagoda, and time in that pagoda is—”

“How about you just take my head then rather than beating around the bush?” asked the Yin Spirit.

Ruler An frowned and went silent.

The other Divine Spirits looked at them without saying anything.

They were clearly about to fight each other.

Ruler An was doing this for True Universe.

The Yin Spirit understood that Ruler An was only doing what she was doing for the sake of the True Universe. However, the Yin Spirit couldn’t possibly let herself be sacrificed in exchange for the True Universe’s greater good.

Ruler An quietly glanced at Ye Guan. She understood where the Yin Spirit was coming from, but she also knew that if they agreed to Ye Guan’s demand, the Ye Guan they would have to face a year later would be a much more powerful Ye Guan than today.

How long had it been since Ye Guan started cultivating?

It hadn’t been that long, but he was already a Great Sword Sovereign.

Allowing this cheat character to cultivate in the mysterious pagoda meant that they would have to deal with a terrifying Ye Guan once the ceasefire was over. It would be a bit too far to say that Ye Guan would be invincible by then, but he would definitely be a formidable opponent.

After all, the entire Guanxuan Universe was in Ye Guan’s hands.

He had an entire universe’s resources at his disposal, so Ruler An still had to mention it, even at the risk of offending the Yin Spirit. Of course, she could only mention it. A mere mention was enough for her to achieve her objective.

Ye Guan suddenly said, “Ruler An, I really admire you.”

Ruler An smiled. Was she stupid? Actually, she was the smartest among the bunch of Divine Spirits Ye Guan had met so far. Of course, there were quite a few smart Divine Spirits among the bunch of Divine Spirits here, and they quietly stared at Ruler An.

Ruler An was willing to offend the Yin Spirit, as she knew that Ye Guan would become an extremely formidable opponent in just a year.

Once Ye Guan became a massive headache to the True Universe a year later, everyone would look back to Ruler An’s words today.

By then, the Yin Spirit would be doomed! And who would replace her?

Ruler An would most likely be her replacement.

Ruler An remained smiling without saying anything. Ye Guan had seen through her.

You can see what I’m trying to do here, and I can see what you’re trying to do.

They were enemies, but they had a complete grasp of each other’s intentions.

Ye Guan wouldn’t ruin Ruler An’s plan, and Ruler An wouldn’t really attempt to kill Ye Guan. Of course, if she had a choice, she would choose to kill Ye Guan, but she truly couldn’t afford to insist on it. After all, the Yin Spirit was still alive.

The Yin Spirit suddenly declared, “Representing the True Universe, I declare that our True Universe will agree to a ceasefire with the Guanxuan Universe, lasting for a year. However, the talents of our True Universe are allowed to challenge you in the meantime.”

Ye Guan nodded. “Sure.”

The Yin Spirit quietly glared at Ye Guan.

Ye Guan glanced at the sword energy above the Yin Spirit.

He opened his palm and beckoned at it. “Here!”

The sword energy flew into Ye Guan’s palm.

Ye Guan looked down at the sword energy. He was about to store it away when it vanished into innumerable light particles.

The Sword Master’s sword intent was no more.

The Sword Master’s era was over. It wasn’t that he wanted it to end, but he had no say in the matter. His father had thrown all responsibilities to him and ran away. What could he do? He could only hold back his tears and inherit the massive family fortune.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Guan knew that he had to be ravenous in his cultivation.

One year—he only had one year.

The Yin Spirit turned to Ye Guan and asked, “Are you not afraid that I’ll go back on my word?”

Ye Guan smiled and responded, “I’ll work hard just to play with you all a year later. If you refuse to keep your word, there’s nothing I can do. You can go and have fun with my aunt as well as my grandfather.”

“Don’t try to scare me,” said the Yin Spirit while looking at Ye Guan, “Our True Universe will always keep our promises. A year, so be it! I really want to see what you can do in a year!”

With that, she led the Divine Spirits away.

Upon entering the golden pillar of light, the Yin Spirit’s expression was both ugly and murderous as she said, “Inform everyone. Anyone who kills Ye Guan will get a hundred million spiritual cores.”

A hundred million spiritual cores. Even Divine Kings would only get a million spiritual cores every year as their salary, and it was barely enough for them to cultivate.

A hundred million spiritual cores were a massive fortune.

They felt like going back and killing Ye Guan.

Unfortunately, they were no longer members of the younger generation.

Ruler An looked at the Yin Spirit and knew that the Yin Spirit had caught on. If Ye Guan were still alive a year later and had grown significantly stronger, she would be in a world of hurt.

The True God was still busy dealing with the Sword Master, so she had no time to deal with the issues here. Of course, the True God Hall was there, and it was like the Guanxuan Committee of the Guanxuan Universe.

The True God Hall would manage the True Universe in the True God’s stead whenever she was absent.

The Yin Spirit was just one of the True God Hall’s elders. She had brought powerful Divine Spirits to deal with Ye Guan, and it was under the True God’s orders.

The True God was absent, so the Yin Spirit believed that the True God Hall would not bother her in the meantime. After all, as a Cosmic Spirit, she still had quite the reputation throughout the True Universe.

Unfortunately, someone would inevitably take the blame if Ye Guan ended up becoming a massive threat to the True Universe. Who would take the blame for it? It would definitely be none other than the Yin Spirit!

The Yin Spirit knew that, so she offered such a sky-high reward—a hundred million spiritual cores. The young talents of the True Universe would surely go crazy, and it wouldn’t just be the True Universe. Even the worlds under their governance would go crazy at the thought of it.

A hundred million spiritual cores were simply too alluring to resist.

The Yin Spirit had no intention of giving Ye Guan enough time to cultivate, as the True Universe couldn’t let Ye Guan become the second coming of the Sword Master.

Soon, the Yin Spirit and the other Divine Spirits disappeared.

Ruler An gave one final glance at Ye Guan.

Ye Guan was silent.

Ye Guan and the others heard the Yin Spirit’s words—a hundred million spiritual cores.

Ye Guan pondered over it before asking, “Master Pagoda, how much is a hundred million spiritual cores?”

Little Pagoda responded, “Converted to immortal spiritual crystals? Trillions at the very least.”

Ye Guan was silent.

It was clear that the True Universe wasn’t going to give Ye Guan time to breathe.

Ye Qing suddenly appeared next to Ye Guan with a grin. “Brother Ye Guan. Just focus on cultivating; let me deal with the talents of the True Universe.”contemporary romance

“Don’t forget about me!” Cao Bai stepped out.

“Me, too!” Ao Qianqian stepped forward.

“I can do it, too!” Nanling Yiyi appeared.

Ji Xuan stepped out, but she didn’t say anything.

“Count me in!” Ye Guanzhi also stepped out and smiled at Ye Guan.

The people of the Sword Sect and the Guanxuan Academy stepped forward.

Ye Guan spotted many familiar faces. Sword Emperor Chen Guanzi, Qin Xue, Mu Tiandao’s disciple, Fan Qing, who gave Ye Guan a space ship, Qingzhou’s student representative, Mu Youyou, Crown Prince Gu, and Yue Chen.

Ye Guan looked around and found almost ten thousand people staring at him.

“Cultivate well! We’ll help you deal with them!” they shouted.
