I Have A Sword

Chapter 323: Forgetting Someone Should Be Quite Easy, Right?

Ye Guan slowly traversed the starry skies, looking gloomy and depressed.

Little Pagoda suddenly asked, “Do you like Lady Nangong Xue?”

“Master Pagoda, sometimes, I think I'm a bad person,” Ye Guan replied.

Little Pagoda was confused. “What do you mean?”

Ye Guan stared into the distant starry skies and explained, “I sometimes think about how good it would be if Little Jia, Lady Ji Xuan, Lady Qianqian, Senior Yiyi, Ba Wan, and Lady Xue could be together in harmony. Wouldn't it be great if that happened?”

Little Pagoda said, “Men are like that. They want to have their cake and eat it, too.”

Ye Guan snorted and said, “They're all great and beautiful women. Having any of them is already a blessing, but I want them all. I just feel like I can't get enough of any of them.”

Little Pagoda was rendered speechless.

The mysterious lady said, “I didn't expect you to say that. I thought you'd say something self-serving."

Ye Guan shook his head and admitted, “Men are lustful and greedy, and so I am.”

The mysterious lady asked, “Do you like Lady Nangong Xue?”

Ye Guan replied softly, “She's a great person, and I don't want to lie to her.”

Little Pagoda said, “Then don’t go around seducing girls in the future!”

Ye Guan chuckled bitterly, “I haven't really seduced any of them. Do you want me to just avoid girls altogether? Sigh, you're just a pagoda. What do you know about human relationships?”

Little Pagoda was dumbfounded.

The mysterious lady laughed.

Ye Guan no longer dwelled on the matter. He sat down and started to reconstruct his fleshly body. He decided to set aside any thoughts he had about women. Women are only going to affect the speed at which I draw my sword.

Soon, Ye Guan recovered his fleshly body. He looked down at himself and sighed. Every single fight he had so far had been brutal fights that had always ended in his body either getting destroyed or severely injured.

Ye Guan waved his sleeve upon recalling something, and the Ancient Divine Puppet that had managed to suppress Xue Feng appeared in front of him. Ye Guan examined the Ancient Divine Puppet and decided to find a way to increase the puppet's strength.

Ye Guan reckoned that once this puppet became a Great Sovereign Realm puppet, it would be able to easily destroy Xue Feng. With yet another goal in mind, Ye Guan's figure quivered as he turned into a beam of sword light that vanished into the horizon.

A woman appeared at where Ye Guan once stood. The woman was none other than Nangong Han, and she was accompanied by Shanbo.

“We received news that Xue Feng of the Xue Clan had escaped from the Starry Sea Secret Realm. Something must have happened there,” Shanbo reported.

Xue Feng was a Great Sovereign, so they didn't dare to approach him.

Nangong Han frowned, feeling uneasy.

“Where is Nangong Xue? Why is he not with her?” she muttered.

Step!

Shanbo froze upon hearing footsteps from behind them.

Nangong Han whipped around and saw a young woman walking toward them.

The young woman was Nangong Xue, and her visage seemed to be covered with a layer of frost as she stared coldly at Nangong Han. Her sunny and gentle demeanor could no longer be found.

Nangong Han asked, "He didn't take you with him?"

Nangong Xue didn't stop walking toward Nangong Han.

Nangong Han's brows furrowed. She glanced at Shanbo, and Shanbo nodded in response. He reached out with his right hand, and a powerful aura locked onto Nangong Xue.

Nangong Xue waved her sleeve in response.

Boom!

Shanbo was instantly reduced into a bloody mist after a loud explosion. He was a peak Divine Sovereign, but he died with just a single gesture from Nangong Xue.contemporary romance

Nangong Han’s expression changed drastically. “You…”

Nangong Xue walked up to Nangong Han and stared intently at her.

"From now on, I am the Clan Leader of the Nangong Clan."

Nangong Han's face turned cold. "You dare—"

Boom!

Nangong Han's words had yet to finish echoing when she was reduced to a bloody mist!

Nangong Xue looked around and muttered, "Forgetting someone should be quite easy, right?"

With that, Nangong Xue's figure blurred, and she vanished into thin air.

An hour later, a Great Sovereign descended upon the Nangong Clan, and it was quickly followed by an eruption of boundless spiritual energy.

The Nangong Clan soon welcomed a new clan leader.

Three days later, Nangong Xue resisted a destiny tribulation in the Starry Sea. It was a fierce tribulation that lasted over three days, and it ended in her victory, which allowed her to become a Great Destiny Sovereign.

The Chaotic Star World now had five Great Destiny Sovereigns after the birth of Sovereign Xue.

The Nangong Clan changed its name and became known as the Starry Sea Sect. They started inviting disciples to pass down their Dao techniques. However, the sect had two strange extra rules that no one could quite understand: the Starry Sea Sect wouldn't accept any swordsmen, and those with the surname Ye weren't welcome to the sect.

Everyone found those rules to be quite weird.

…

Today, two distinguished women decided to visit the Martial Sect.

One of the women was a gorgeous woman clad in a purple robe, and she was also wearing a veil with a purple ribbon edge.

The other woman was a young woman wearing a snow-white skirt; a sword was in her hand, and her gaze was both icy and ruthless.

The entire Martial Sect was alarmed by their visit, and it felt like the sect had descended into a state of war emergency. Sect Master Wu Xuan emerged and led a group of Martial Sect disciples to face the two women.

Wu Xuan's gaze turned grim upon seeing the young woman holding a sword.

These two women were the representatives of the True Universe—Left Councilor Feng Qi and the Adjudication Sword Master.

Left Councilor Feng Qi smiled politely and said, "Pardon us for the intrusion, Sect Master Wu Xuan."

Wu Xuan stared at Left Councilor Feng Qi and asked, “May I know the reason behind your visit?”

Left Councilor Feng Qi smiled and said, “We're here to talk.”

“Talk?” Wu Xuan asked, sounding curious.

Left Councilor Feng Qi asked, “Sect Master Wu Xuan, have you ever thought about going to the outside world?"

Wu Xuan’s eyes narrowed at the remark.

“Left Councilor Feng Qi, please go straight to the paint,” he said.

Left Councilor Feng Qi's smile deepened as she said, “The True Universe would like to work with the Martial Sect.”

Wu Xuan immediately shook his head and said, “Our sect will not submit to anyone, not even to True God.”

The Adjudication Sword Master frowned, and she bent her knees ever so slightly in preparation to make a move anytime.

Left Councilor Feng Qi pointed out. "We know that the Holy Sect is your enemy, and we're willing to assist your Martial Sect in eradicating the Holy Sect. Once the Holy Sect is eradicated, your Martial Sect will be the sole ruler of the Chaotic Star World.

"By then, the True Universe is willing to lift the restriction on the Chaotic Star World, allowing cultivators from the Chaotic Star World to cultivate in the True Universe."

Wu Xuan stared intently at Left Councilor Feng Qi and asked, "What do we have to sacrifice for that?"

"We just want you to establish an alliance with you. The goal is to annihilate the Guanxuan Universe," replied Left Councilor Feng Qi.

The Guanxuan Universe? Wu Xuan's brows furrowed. He had never heard of the Guanxuan Universe.

The Left Councilor Feng Qi continued. "It's straightforward, right? Agree, and we'll help you annihilate the Holy Sect. Afterward, the True Universe will recognize you as the ruler of the Chaotic Star World.

"The Chaotic Star World will be under your Martial Sect's jurisdiction, and you, Wu Xuan, will never have to enter the True God Hall and pay respects to the True God. You'll have your own free will, and you won't be under the True Universe."

Wu Xuan was silent. The True Universe's offer was attractive, but he had his concerns.

An alliance to deal with the Guanxuan Universe.

It was his first time hearing about the existence of the Guanxuan Universe, but the fact that the True Universe couldn't deal with the Guanxuan Universe by itself meant that it was a formidable force.

In other words, they might get in trouble if they were to accept the True Universe's offer.

"I need to think about it," Wu Xuan replied.

Left Councilor Feng Qi smiled and said, “Feel free to think of it. However, I'd like to warn you that we're going to the Holy Sect once we leave, so you need to make your decision soon."

Wu Xuan’s expression soured.

Left Councilor Feng Qi's words were tantamount to a threat, but he didn't say anything. The Martial Sect was one of the top superpowers in the Chaotic Star World, but it was still mediocre compared to the True Universe.

Left Councilor Feng Qi went quiet and turned around to leave with the Adjudication Sword Master.

Just then, a middle-aged man appeared in front of the two women. The middle-aged man was none other than Chen Wu.

Chen Wu's gaze was on the Adjudication Sword Master as he said with a smile, "I've heard that the Adjudication Sword Master is the number one swordsman in the True Universe. I'd like to exchange pointers with you today!"

The Adjudication Sword Master cast a nonchalant glance at Chen Wu.

“Make your move, then,” she said indifferently.

Chen Wu laughed and sent a punch.

It was a powerful punch that seemed to contain the violent power of an erupting volcano. A terrifying force rushed toward the Adjudication Sword Master, and every single disciple of the Martial Sect found it difficult to breathe in the face of the punch.

They looked up and stared at the fist imprint with alarm.

The Adjudication Sword Master casually swung her sword.

Swoosh!

The fist imprint shattered, and Chen Wu was blasted thousands of meters away.

The spacetime beneath his feet collapsed as he tried his best to stop flying by using both of his feet as brakes.

The disciples of the Martial Sect were stupefied.

It had to be known that Chen Wu was the strongest martial instructor of the Martial Sect; he was second only to the Sect Master in strength, but a young woman had actually defeated him with just one sword move!

Chen Wu looked down at the long gash on his right arm. After a long silence, he turned to look at the Adjudication Sword Master in the distance and remarked, "Impressive!"

However, the Adjudication Sword Master didn't say anything in the face of the compliment. She left quietly with Left Councilor Feng Qi.

Chen Wu's expression turned extremely solemn as he turned to Wu Xuan.

"If they join forces with the Holy Sect..." he trailed off.

Wu Xuan nodded. "I understand, but think about it. The fact that the True Universe had to ask for help in dealing with the Guanxuan Universe meant that the Guanxuan Universe must be extraordinary. The True Universe's offer is great, but once we agree, I'm afraid that they'll find a way to turn us into their puppets!"

Chen Wu nodded and said, "Indeed, but we're in a passive position at the moment. If they join forces with the Holy Sect, our Martial Sect..."

Chen Wu didn't dare to complete his sentence.

After a long silence, Wu Xuan said, "She's cunning. What she's doing will force our Martial Sect and the Holy Sect into a brutal conflict. Both of us will have to lean on the True Universe if we want to defeat the other."

"What crafty woman..." Wu Xuan muttered.

Chen Wu sighed softly in response.

The overbearing True Universe had found it beneath them to engage in negotiations with weaker forces, so they had simply demanded the surrender of the Chaotic Star World's forces.

Their domineering attitude had allowed the forces of the Chaotic Star World to unite against a common enemy.

In fact, even the Martial Sect and the Holy Sect with long-standing feuds against each other had put their grudges aside to fight the True Universe.

However, it seemed that the True Universe had finally learned how to employ the carrot—not just the stick. They had decided to adopt a softer approach, which meant that the Chaotic Star World could never be as united as they had been at the time.

After all, the smaller forces on the Chaotic Star World wouldn't unite and help the Martial Sect and the Holy Sect against the True Universe so long as the True Universe didn't threaten their lives.

Chen Wu looked at Wu Xuan and urged. "Decisions must be made!"

"I'll visit the Holy Sect," replied Wu Xuan before vanishing into thin air.

…

Meanwhile, Left Councilor Feng Qi and the Adjudication Sword Master slowly made their way to the Holy Sect among the clouds.

Crackle!

A lightning bolt shot down, and the Adjudication Sword Master lifted her sword.

Boom!

The lightning bolt shattered with a swing of her sword.

Left Councilor Feng Qi smiled and asked, “What do you think? Will the Martial Sect agree?”

The Adjudication Sword Master was silent.

Left Councilor Feng Qi said, “I think he'll also visit the Holy Sect.”

The Adjudication Sword Master was quiet as she stared at Left Councilor Feng Qi.

Left Councilor Feng Qi looked around and whispered, "The Holy Sect and the Martial Sect's decision don't really matter. We just need chaos to erupt here, and then we'll lift the blockade and give the other forces here the same offer that we had given to the Martial Sect and the Holy Sect. I'm sure the smaller forces won't refuse..."

Left Councilor Feng Qi smiled and added, "By then, this place is destined to become a territory of our True Universe."

The Adjudication Sword Master didn't say anything to that.

Left Councilor Feng Qi changed the topic and said, "I heard that Ye Guan is here."

The Adjudication Sword Master’s eyes narrowed, and she exclaimed, “Find him!”

Left Councilor Feng Qi looked at the Adjudication Sword Master.

“You have an arrangement with him," she said, reminding the Adjudication Sword Master.

The Adjudication Sword Master said coldly, “I won't kill him. I just want to beat him up.”

Left Councilor Feng Qi sounded solemn as she said, “The plain skirt lady is with him.”

The Adjudication Sword Master raised her brows and replied, “I'll beat them up at the same time, then.”
