Chapter 235: My Whole Family Is Hiding Something From Me
Master Si was furious. He raised his hand and slapped his son.
Pak!
Si Tongtian flew only ten meters away. Master Si had obviously held back.
Ye Guan smiled dryly and shook his head.
Brother Si had really just asked to get slapped. How could he say something like that to his father?
Ye Guan couldn’t help but think if he would suffer the same outcome as Si Tongtian if he were to say such words to his father. It didn’t take him long to find the answer to his question. He would most likely get beaten up, as he was still weaker than his father.
Ye Guan decided to only be brazen to his father once he was strong enough to do so.
Si Tongtian had been slapped, but he was smiling.
Si Tongtian dusted off his bottom and walked up to Ye Guan with a smile.
“Big Brother, let me guide you.”
Ye Guan hesitated before saying, “Sure.”
He wasn’t familiar with the All Worlds, so he would end up saving a lot of time if Si Tongtian were to accompany him.
Ye Guan looked at Li Fei and said, “Manager Li, please lead the way.”
Li Fei’s cheeks flushed slightly. “Young—please follow me!”
Young? Master Si’s eyes narrowed, and a thoughtful look took over his expression.
Ye Guan nodded slightly as he started walking away.
Si Tongtian rushed after them.
Master Si muttered to himself, “Is he perhaps the Sword Master’s son?”
The All Worlds had already heard about the recent event in the Guanxuan Universe. It wasn’t strange, as the emergence of the Sword Master’s son wasn’t a trivial matter.
In addition, the True Universe had placed a whopping one hundred million spiritual cores as a bounty in exchange for Ye Guan’s head.
The Sword Master’s son… Master Si was silent before a light smile tugged at his mouth. His useless son had finally gotten to know someone impressive and had finally become useful.
It felt like his good-for-nothing son had finally pulled his own ass back down to where it belonged and had finally used his head once and for all to attract their ancestor’s attention.
Si Clan Ancestor: “...”
Master Si’s face reddened upon realizing that his expression just now sounded weird, but he was gratified. He truly didn’t expect that his good-for-nothing son would end up becoming the younger brother of such an impressive young man.
The Si Clan was extremely powerful in the Yuan World, but they were nothing compared to the Guanxuan Universe. My son has actually become the younger brother of the Sword Master’s son… Master Si boisterously laughed at the thought of it alone.
…
The teleportation array was activated. Li Fei and the other members of this branch’s Immortal Treasures Pavilion bowed respectfully toward Ye Guan. Under their watch, Ye Guan and Si Tongtian vanished upon being whisked away by the teleportation array.
Li Fei was all smiles.
“Our Young Master is truly handsome…” she muttered with lingering awe.
Everyone was speechless.
Meanwhile, Si Tongtian made a sidelong glance at Ye Guan.
Ye Guan looked at him and smiled. “What is it?”
Si Tongtian asked, “Big Brother, is your background kind of special or something?”
“Why do you say so?” asked Ye Guan.
Si Tongtian smiled and explained, “My father has never really liked any of my friends, but his attitude took a hundred-and-eighty-degree turn upon seeing you. It seems my father knows something that I don’t know about you.”
Ye Guan laughed without answering.
“Honestly…” Si Tongtian sounded hesitant as he muttered, “I actually got close to you on purpose. Are you going to push me away because of my ulterior motive?”
Ye Guan smiled and asked, “What motive?”
Si Tongtian hesitated before saying, “Basically, I just think that you’re powerful, and I want to be around you because of it. Something like that, I think...”
Ye Guan thought about it before responding, “You can become as powerful as me if you work hard.”
Si Tongtian shook his head and said, “Talent is paramount. My talent is abysmal, so even if I work hard, there’s still a limit to my growth. Even my ancestor refused to accept me despite my pleading. Of course, I’m still going to work hard. I’m just going to change my mindset.”
Si Tongtian stared deeply at Ye Guan before saying, “I felt your killing intent when we fought, Big Brother, so why did you not kill me?”
Ye Guan smiled and explained, “You were arrogant, but you don’t have an inherently evil nature. I also don’t want to be too ruthless.”
Si Tongtian grinned. “Thank you.”
Ye Guan could have easily killed him back then, but the former had decided to give him a chance despite knowing that people like him often looked down on commoners and were more often than not arrogant to the brim.
“Don’t overthink it,” advised Ye Guan.
Si Tongtian nodded. “Okay.”
Ye Guan looked at the spacetime tunnel in the distance. He was excited to reach the All World City. He was looking forward to challenging the All Worlds List and having a great fight.
Ye Guan gained a lot of insights during his trip with An Nanjing. He didn’t manage to make a breakthrough into the Mortal Sword Realm, but he knew that he was only one step away from it.
At the moment, Ye Guan’s desire was to duke it out with powerful cultivators; that was it.
Ye Guan closed his eyes and muttered, “I hope those on the All Worlds List are powerful enough for me.”
Si Tongtian froze in disbelief. Why is Big Brother suddenly acting like he’s a supreme elite?
Ye Guan sat cross-legged and circulated the Universe Refining Art. Spiritual energy converged on him as he attempted to take a peek at the Major Tribulation Realm.
His so-called physical realm was his biggest weakness at the moment.
He would have no issues fighting True Realm cultivators if he managed to reach the peak of his current cultivation base. From what he understood, True Realm cultivators were like Divine Generals in the True Universe. A cultivator had to be a True Realm cultivator to become qualified as a Divine General.
Above Divine Generals were Divine Kings, and each of them was an Immortal Realm cultivator, at the very least.
During that huge battle on that fateful day, Ye Guan only managed to stand toe-to-toe against a Divine General because Ao Qianqian had been supporting him along with the Path Sword.
Ye Guan suddenly took out the Path Sword. He looked down at it with a serious expression. He was no longer a greenhorn. His horizons had been expanded, so he had become aware that he had grossly underestimated his plain-skirt aunt’s prowess.
He had to find a way to trick her into coming out.
He wanted to know the full extent of her prowess, and he knew that he couldn’t rely on Master Pagoda nor ask the latter any questions about her.
Ye Guan had long realized that Master Pagoda didn’t want him to call on his plain-skirt aunt, and it wasn’t just Master Pagoda. His father and his other relatives thought the same. There was something fishy here.
His entire family was hiding something from him, and he thought they were being too mean to him.
Ye Guan took a moment to compose himself and set his thoughts aside.
Afterward, he focused on cultivating.
Ye Guan frantically absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy using the Universe Refining Art. The quality of the spiritual energy he was absorbing was extremely high, and it was all thanks to the Universe Refining Art acting like a filter.
It was sending only the purest particles of spiritual energy into Ye Guan’s body.
Ye Guan’s aura slowly but steadily grew stronger.
Three days passed by, and Si Tongtian called out, “We’re here, Big Brother!”
Ye Guan opened his eyes slowly.
As soon as he stood up, a powerful wave of spiritual energy burst out of him.
Si Tongtian was shocked. Is he going to make a breakthrough?
However, Ye Guan flicked his right hand and forcibly suppressed his own aura.
Si Tongtian was confused. “Big brother, what was that?”
“I was just familiarizing myself with it,” said Ye Guan.
Si Tongtian was confused. He wanted to ask Ye Guan to elaborate, but a white light abruptly engulfed them.
When they came to their senses, they found themselves standing on a teleportation array. Ye Guan looked around and froze upon seeing more than a dozen young people in front of him.
A young man wearing a long robe stood at the helm of the group. A sword was in his right hand, and he was wearing slippers made out of straw.
Ye Guan cupped his fist and asked, “May I know who you are?”
The young man in a long robe asked, “Are you Ye Guan of the Guanxuan Universe?”
Ye Guan?! Si Tongtian’s pupils constricted in complete stupefaction. Ye Guan was the Young Master of the Guanxuan Universe, so how could he not know of him? Si Tongtian was beyond stupefied upon learning that he had inadvertently become the younger brother of the Guanxuan Universe’s Young Master.
This is crazy!
It seemed that even though his ancestor sucked at fighting, he still had a good head between his shoulders.
Ye Guan remained calm as he replied, “Yes.”
The young man in a long robe was overjoyed. He slowly walked over to Ye Guan and said, “Your head is worth a hundred million spiritual cores.”
Boom!
The young man in a long robe’s sword might abruptly enveloped Ye Guan.
Ye Guan stared deeply at the young man in a long robe.
“You want the reward?” he asked.
“Yes.”
Swoosh!
A dazzling sword light blinded everyone briefly. The eyes of the young man in a long robe widened, and he was about to make a move when a sword pierced his forehead.
Blood spurted out haphazardly from the young man in a long robe’s forehead, but Ye Guan’s sword didn’t stop. It zigzagged through the crowd and sent ten heads flying into the air in the proverbial blink of an eye. The ground was quickly dyed crimson.
Incredibly, the young man in a long robe was still alive. Ye Guan approached the latter and muttered, “Too weak. How boring.”
“You—” the young man in a long robe started.
Shwik!
However, his head abruptly flew into the air, interrupting him.
Ye Guan turned to look at Si Tongtian and said, “Tongtian, clean this place up.”
With that, he slowly walked away, leaving a shell-shocked Si Tongtian behind him.
“O-Okay,” Si Tongtian belatedly replied. It didn’t take him that long to collect the storage rings of the corpses. Si Tongtian couldn’t help but chuckle while staring down at the storage rings in his hand. Big Brother is just amazing…
All of a sudden, a powerful aura appeared overhead, and a middle-aged man glared sinisterly at Ye Guan. “Ye Guan! How dare you kill my Nan Clan disciples! Are you looking down on my Nan Clan?”
Ye Guan looked straight into the middle-aged man’s eyes before saying, “Yes.”
The middle-aged man was shocked.
Ye Guan stomped and vanished, leaving nothing but an afterimage behind.
A dazzling sword light briefly pervaded the skies.
The middle-aged man’s eyes shrank. He wanted to make a move, but Ye Guan’s sword had already pierced his forehead.
Shwik!
Blood leaked out of the hole in the middle-aged man’s nape. His eyes widened in disbelief, and he started trembling like an aspen tree. He was about to say something, but Ye Guan swiped with his fingers.
Swoosh!
The middle-aged man’s head flew into the air, and a fountain of blood burst out of his headless corpse, terrifying the onlookers.
Ye Guan’s expression was sinister as he said grimly, “Where is the manager of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion here?”
“I’m here!” A middle-aged man appeared not too far away from Ye Guan. He walked over to Ye Guan and bowed respectfully before saying, “This one’s name is Gu Ming. Greetings, Young Master.”
Ye Guan calmly asked, “Where is the Nan Clan located?”
The middle-aged man’s pupils constricted as he replied, “A hundred kilometers south…”
“Bring your men and follow me to annihilate the Nan Clan,” said Ye Guan. He hopped onto his sword without waiting for Gu Ming’s reply and disappeared into the horizon.
Gu Ming was stunned. When he recovered, he roared, “Men! Head to the Nan Clan!”
With that, he flew after Ye Guan.
The cultivators of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion hurriedly chased after him.
The onlookers were beyond stupefied.
Annihilate the Nan Clan?
Ye Guan soon arrived in the sky above the Nan Clan.
An old man appeared in front of him and said, “Young Master Ye, there’s a misunderstanding.”
“Shove your misunderstanding up your ass,” Ye Guan spat coldly and disappeared. The surrounding spacetime cracked open as a dazzling sword light made a beeline for the old man.
The old man’s eyes narrowed. He clenched his right fist and sent a punch.
Unfortunately, Ye Guan was wielding the Path Sword.
The old man’s eyes shrank the moment his fist made contact with the Path Sword. He wanted to retract his hand, but it was too late. The Path Sword sliced through the old man’s fist as if it were a hot knife going through butter before slicing him into two.
The old man died with his eyes wide open, and his corpse plummeted helplessly to the ground.
Meanwhile, the cultivators of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion had already arrived. contemporary romance
The cultivators of the Nan Clan took to the skies.
Ye Guan gripped the sword in his hand tightly and rushed to meet the Nan Clan cultivators.
A cacophony of miserable wails filled the skies above the Nan Clan.
Gu Ming attacked with the cultivators of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion.
No one could stop Ye Guan and his Path Sword, and they mowed down the Nan Clan members and cultivators in swathes.
“Stop!” a furious roar reverberated across the battlefield.
A white-haired old man appeared in front of Ye Guan. Ye Guan turned to look at the white-haired old man. Gu Ming rushed to Ye Guan’s side and said, “Young Master, he’s from the Governor’s Mansion.”
The white-haired old man glared at Ye Guan and said, “Young Master Ye, you’re not in the Guanxuan Universe, you’re in the All World City.”
Ye Guan flicked off the blood on his sword and asked, “So?”
The white-haired old man stared at Ye Guan with narrowed eyes.
“Killing is prohibited here,” he said.
“Why did you not say that to the Nan Clan cultivators who stood waiting in front of the teleportation array to kill me?” asked Ye Guan with a smile.
The white-haired old man frowned.
Ye Guan’s smile vanished, and he shouted, “Keep on killing them!”
Gu Ming wordlessly rushed to slaughter the remaining elites of the Nan Clan.
The white-haired old man stared at Ye Guan and slowly clenched his fists.
Ye Guan glared at him and said, “Make a move, and I will bury you with them.”
The white-haired old man glared hatefully at Ye Guan, but he didn’t say anything.
Soon, the elites of the Nan Clan were dead.
However, the white-haired old man didn’t dare to make a move.
“Manager Gu!” Ye Guan shouted.
Gu Ming’s figure flickered next to Ye Guan.
Ye Guan calmly said, “The True Universe placed a bounty of a hundred million spiritual cores on my head, right? I think they’re too stingy with the bounty, so I want you to raise the bounty on my head.
“A billion spiritual cores! The Immortal Treasures Pavilion will pay a billion spiritual cores in exchange for my head.”
Wait, what? The onlookers were beyond baffled and stupefied. Did he just put a bounty on his own head?
