I Have A Sword

Chapter 270: Calling for Grandfather

Little Pagoda wanted to retort, but he eventually decided against it. He couldn’t afford to mess with the Young Master; there would be dire consequences awaiting him if he were to do so.

Nan Nishui’s eyes narrowed upon hearing Ye Guan’s words.

However, she made her move without waiting for Ye Guan’s reinforcements.

Hum!

The Frost Sword in her quivered and let out a resonant hum.

The tidal wave of power born from the combination of seventy Time Immortal Realm cultivators’ strongest moves and Nan Nishui’s sword move made Ye Guan feel as though he were standing before a million mountains.

The spacetime around him disintegrated like tofu, and the world itself seemed to turn illusory beneath the astonishing power.

Just then, Ye Guan stretched out his right hand and yelled, “Sword!”

Hum!

A sword cry echoed throughout the world, and a beam of sword light landed in Ye Guan’s hands. When the sword light dissipated, the Path Sword appeared. Ye Guan took a stance with it and slashed out.

Boom!

The tidal wave of power looming over Ye Guan was split into two.

Nan Nishui’s beautiful eyes widened in shock.

However, Ye Guan wasn’t done just yet as he vanished into thin air.

Shwing!

Ye Guan rushed toward Nan Nishui and her group with the Path Sword in hand, and even the dense spacetime of the True Universe was as fragile as a piece of paper before the Path Sword.

Nan Nishui hurriedly shouted, “Watch out for his sword!”

Ye Guan turned and slashed out at Nan Nishui, sending her into a panic. She didn’t dare to take any chances; she immediately unleashed her Frost Sword Domain, but the Path Sword easily split it into two.

Ye Guan cleaved his way through Nan Nishui’s Frost Sword Domain in one fluid motion, stupefying Nan Nishui. Alarm bells immediately rang in her head, and she decisively dodged Ye Guan’s sword move.

Ye Guan’s sword move missed Nan Nishui, but he didn’t chase after her. His figure blurred as he turned into a beam of sword light that rushed toward the city gates. He raised the Path Sword up high and swung it down.

Boom!

The city gates crumbled. Ye Guan immediately disappeared for his destination—the True God Hall. Indeed, Ye Guan’s priority was to infiltrate the True God Hall rather than to kill these Divine Spirits.

The Divine Spirits’ expressions turned ugly upon seeing Ye Guan making a beeline for the True God Hall. They let out furious roars and transformed into beams of light to chase after Ye Guan.

They weren’t going to let Ye Guan infiltrate the True God Hall, but they were completely helpless as well. Ye Guan was just too fast; they blinked once, and he was already at the distant horizon.

The Divine Spirits ahead of Ye Guan didn’t dare to stand in his way, but it wasn’t like they were afraid. The Path Sword was simply too terrifying. Meanwhile, the members of the older generation didn’t dare to move as well because of the agreement.

Just like that, Ye Guan soon found himself standing in front of the largest building in the city. He looked up and found a plaque that said—True God Hall.

Ye Guan’s eyes sparkled with excitement as he cried out, “Master Pagoda, I’m here! I made it!”

“True, but…” Little Pagoda sounded hesitant as he pointed out. “You can’t really say that you killed your way here.”

Ye Guan ignored Master Pagoda’s remark and looked around.

Twelvestone pillars were standing before the hall, and twelve figures wearing pristine white armor stood next to the stone pillars. They all exuded an indescribably powerful aura, and they were all staring at Ye Guan.

Ye Guan’s expression turned grim. The figures staring at him were so strong that Ye Guan realized on a visceral level that they could instantly suppress him, even if he were to wield the Path Sword against them.

Nonetheless, Ye Guan had to enter the True God Hall. He gritted his teeth and dashed into the hall. He couldn’t hesitate because a massive group of Divine Spirits were chasing after him.

As he sprinted toward the True God Hall, he muttered a prayer to himself, “Father, please protect me. Grandfather, please protect me. Aunt, please protect me. Master Pagoda please—never mind.”

He was worried. If the True Universe decided to gang up on him, he would have no way out as he was too deep behind enemy lines. Even his father had failed to conquer the True Universe thirty million years ago, so how could he even dream of conquering the True Universe? Moreover, he was just eighteen years old!

Ye Guan was aware of his own strength. He could be arrogant among the younger generation, but he had to be more humble with the older generation.

Ye Guan finally arrived before the True God Hall. He turned into a beam of sword light that rushed to enter the True God Hall, but the mysterious voice shouted, “No, don’t go in!”

Unfortunately, the mysterious voice was too late.

Bam!

The beam of sword light shattered, and Ye Guan was sent flying at least a few hundred meters away. He landed heavily on the ground, causing it to crack.

He hurriedly stood up and wiped the blood dripping down his lips.

Ye Guan looked up and saw a middle-aged man in the distance.

The middle-aged man was wearing a simple white robe, and his right hand was placed behind his back. His hair draped loosely over his back, and he was exuding a domineering aura despite his humble appearance.

He was obviously not a member of the True Universe’s younger generation!

Ye Guan burst out laughing. The True Universe had violated the agreement, so he felt like he could finally rest. Ye Guan took out the tiny pagoda and raised it up high before shouting, “Master Pagoda, it’s your generation’s time to shine!”

Little Pagoda was at a loss for words.

Ye Guan fell to the ground and decided to have a good rest.

He was utterly exhausted, but he was smiling. He could finally rest, after all.

However, the mysterious voice suddenly asked, “Are you not going to run away?”

“Run?” Ye Guan was stunned. “Why am I going to run away?”

“Since their older generation has attacked, it means they’ve already succeeded in blocking the elites of the Yang Family,” the mysterious voice explained.

Ye Guan jumped to his feet. He looked around, and his voice was trembling as he said, “Senior An and the others aren’t around?”

The mysterious voice replied, "No."

Ye Guan was puzzled. "Where are they?"

The mysterious voice replied, "The True Universe’s experts must be blocking them at the moment."

Ye Guan’s eyes widened. “Does that mean…"

“Yes,” the mysterious voice replied, "You're in big trouble."

Ye Guan’s heart was in his throat as he asked, "What happened to our agreement? I deal with the younger generation, and the older generation will deal with the older generation!” contemporary romance

The mysterious voice said, "They’re fighting each other, so it’s technically in accordance with the rules."

Ye Guan went silent. He felt like he had been pranked. What should he do now?

Ye Guan turned to the tiny pagoda in his hands.

"Little Pagoda, isn't it time for you to step up?" he asked.

“I’m really just a pagoda!” Little Pagoda exclaimed. With that, Little Pagoda turned into a beam of golden light that melted into Ye Guan's glabella.

Ye Guan was silent. He felt a sense of impending doom. He and his sister had impulsively rushed here, and now they were too deep behind enemy lines to retreat.

Little Pagoda was too unreliable for him to rely on, and he wasn’t strong enough to make it out of here without any external help.

"Senior, can you lend me a hand?" asked Ye Guan.

The mysterious voice replied, "I can help you later, not now..."

Ye Guan stared off into space. What did she mean, later? Was she going to wait until he was dead so that she could just collect his corpse and bury him?

Meanwhile, the simply dressed middle-aged man’s eyes were on Ye Guan, but he didn’t make a move. Meanwhile, Nan Nishui and her group had finally arrived. They sighed in relief upon seeing that Ye Guan had failed to enter the True God Hall.

They would have had to face the consequences if Ye Guan had somehow managed to trespass on the True God Hall.

Ye Guan looked up and stared at the simply dressed middle-aged man in the distance and asked, "Can the True Universe truly not accept defeat?"

Ye Guan was aware that he could no longer win through a fight, so he decided to try and win through his tongue.

The simply dressed middle-aged man replied, "I didn’t attack you earlier. The True God Hall is surrounded by a powerful array. You ran into it by yourself; it has nothing to do with me."

Ye Guan glanced at the True God Hall and found that it was emitting terrifying energy waves.

The simply dressed middle-aged man suddenly took a step forward and said, "Your sword is a bit… unusual."

“You couldn’t defeat me in a one-on-one fight, and you’ve decided to gang up on me, but it still didn’t work, so now, you’re nitpicking about my sword?” Ye Guan said. He shook his head and smiled. "Am I really in the True Universe? I thought the True Universe is supposed to be invincible?”

The faces of Nan Nishui and the Divine Spirits behind her turned ugly.

The simply dressed middle-aged man asked, "Do you really think it's fair for you to wield that sword?"

“I’m a swordsman,” Ye Guan said with a smile, "What am I supposed to wield?"

The simply dressed middle-aged man stared at Ye Guan and asked, "Are we not supposed to gang up on you, then?"

"No, you can gang up on me!” Ye Guan exclaimed. He then turned to Nan Nishui and shouted, "Come here, let's all fight together!"

Ye Guan felt like it was fine for him to wield the Path Sword against a myriad of enemies.

Nan Nishui went silent as she stared at the Path Sword in Ye Guan's hand. The sword was like a terrifying monster capable of splitting everything in its path into two, so Nan Nishui was afraid of it. The sword was too strong for anyone to resist.

Just then, the middle-aged man glanced at Nan Nishui. Nan Nishui instantly understood his intentions. She charged at Ye Guan and slashed out. In response, Ye Guan swung his sword at her.

Boom!

Nan Nishui was sent flying away. She couldn’t take the brunt of Ye Guan’s powerful sword attack, so the remnant energies of Ye Guan’s sword moved scattered in all directions.

The simply dressed middle-aged man was struck by one of the remnant energies, and he staggered backward. Blood had already drenched his robes when he finally came to a halt.

Nan Nishui hurriedly escaped toward the other Divine Spirits.

The simply dressed middle-aged man’s gaze fell on Ye Guan.

"There’s an agreement about how the older generation of both universes can’t interfere, but it doesn't mean that you can attack the members of our older generation. You attacked me first, and I’m going to attack you.

”However, this is a personal grudge; it’s completely unrelated to the True Universe."

Little Pagoda couldn't help but exclaim at that, "What the fuck?"

The mysterious voice exclaimed, “How despicable!”

Ye Guan frowned and asked, "Is everyone here as shameless as you?"

“You attacked me first!” the simply dressed middle-aged man exclaimed. He opened his palm and brought it down. Ye Guan’s pupils constricted. The simply dressed middle-aged man was a Great Sovereign!

Ye Guan decisively thrust his sword forward.

BOOM!!

Ye Guan cut a sorry figure as he was blasted away by a terrifying force, and the ground beneath him split open the moment he landed.

The simply dressed middle-aged man frowned. Ye Guan's sword had managed to withstand the brunt of his attack, but Ye Guan was too weak to take the remnant energies of his attack.

Ye Guan was drenched in his own blood, but he struggled to climb to his feet. He took out the tiny pagoda and raised it up high.

"They’re bullying me, Master Pagoda! Go fight them!" he shouted.

Little Pagoda’s reply came a bit late. “I only know how to work behind the scenes, and I’m not too good at fighting.”

Ye Guan froze and went silent. Just then, the simply dressed middle-aged man charged forward and threw a punch toward Ye Guan.

Ye Guan's expression changed drastically, and he hastily lifted his sword.

Boom!

Ye Guan flew as if he were a kite with its strings cut. His fleshly body had cracked open, and his own blood created a pool beneath him. He struggled to climb up to his feet, and then he gazed up at the sky.

"Father?" he muttered.

Little Pagoda reminded him, "You’ve gotten even stronger, so your current opponent isn’t eleven[1] realms higher than you."

Ye Guan was at a loss for words.

The simply dressed middle-aged man was about to make another move.

Ye Guan hurriedly turned to the Path Sword in his hand and muttered, "Aunt?"

He received no response.

Ye Guan went silent, and his heart was gripped by trepidation. He was in big trouble.

He suddenly thought of something, prompting him to look up at the sky.

“Grandfather!” Ye Guan yelled, “My children and grandchildren will be surnamed Yang! I’m from the Yang Family!”

The simply dressed middle-aged man said, “So you’ve decided to call your grandfather because you can’t call your father—”

Buzz!

A resonant sword hum echoed throughout the True World, and a beam of sword light landed not too far away from Ye Guan. The sword light soon dispersed, revealing the figure of a man wearing a blue robe.

“My goodest grandson!” the blue-robed man boisterously laughed. “Your grandfather is here!”

1. afaik the agreement is that Ye Guan’s father will help if Ye Guan’s enemies are 11+ realms higher than him, but if they’re 1-10 realms higher, Ye Guan has to deal with them by himself. Best parents ever. ☜
