I Have A Sword

Chapter 95: Attack Ye Guan



Chapter 95: Attack Ye Guan

Ye Guan’s performance stunned Little Pagoda. He was aware that his Little Master?was an extreme talent, but he didn’t expect Ye Guan to be this talented!

Was it because he was the Chosen One who had established the same sword dao as Plain Skirt Destiny and Freedom Swordsman? Anyway, Ye Guan was no longer allowed to lose.

Ye Guan’s Invincible Sword Dao would shatter if he were to lose unless he was defeated by an opponent whose cultivation base allowed the latter to take Ye Guan’s life with a flick of his sleeve, like Academy Chief Qingqiu.

Ye Guan had to make sure that he would reign invincible among his peers and perhaps even further beyond that but not beyond the confines of common sense.

Little Pagoda was stunned, helpless, but also delighted. He was glad that Ye Guan had chosen such an extremely powerful sword dao to?carve a path to the summit, but he was still a little worried about him.

The mysterious voice suddenly asked, “Why is he only a Half-step Sword Sovereign?”

Little Pagoda replied, “His sword faith and goal have been established, but he still needs a proper battle. He needs a battle that will reinforce his goal and faith. That is the only way he’ll become a true Sword Sovereign.”

Little Pagoda sighed and said, “Sister Destiny gave him a sword dao inheritance, but he jumped from the second chapter all the way to the fourth chapter, which is Sword Dao Faith!”

The mysterious voice’s curiosity was piqued. “What’s the third chapter?”

“Sword Dao Goal,” said Little Pagoda. “It sounds absurd, but this lad just completed both chapters at the same time.”

“Actually… I think that battle is the reason why he’s so ambitious.”

Little Pagoda asked, “What do you mean?”

The mysterious voice replied, “You kept on telling him to only rely on himself, so how come you’re still unaware? This lad is prideful. Have you forgotten how he had risked his life against Liu Bing rather than asking you for help or using the Path Sword?”

The mysterious voice paused for a moment before continuing. “Little Pagoda, I know you mean well, but you have to understand that he grew up in the Ye Clan. The Ye Clan treated him well, but his parents had never been by his side.

”His sister was the only reason he had been clinging to life and hadn’t done anything drastic.”

Little Pagoda fell silent.

“I’m sure he had dark, intrusive thoughts when Little Jia lost her fleshly body. I really think that you have to pay more attention to his mental health. He has never complained about his parents, but it doesn’t mean that he has goodwill toward them.

“Think about it: did your Old Master even know what the word father?means? Let’s not even mention your Young Master. He was obsessed with killing his own father,” said the mysterious voice.

Little Pagoda sighed.

The mysterious voice spoke once again. “I’m saying that we shouldn’t just focus on his cultivation. We have to make sure that he’s doing well mentally as well. Don’t put too much pressure on him. You should let him relax as well. I mean, come on. He’s just seventeen years old!”

“I understand,” said Little Pagoda.

Meanwhile, Ye Guan exclaimed, “Master Pagoda! Did I make a breakthrough?”

Little Pagoda smiled and said, “Yes, congratulations! You’ve become a Half-step Sword Sovereign!”

A Half-step Sword Sovereign! Ye Guan took a moment to take it in before asking, “Master Pagoda, I’m already a Half-step Sword Sovereign, so am I still an ant compared to the Ye Clan of the Guanxuan Universe?”

Little Pagoda smiled, “Not anymore. Of course, you’re still not strong enough to defeat them, but you won’t have any issues escaping with your life.”

Ye Guan was overjoyed, and he felt like a heavy weight had been lifted off of his shoulders. Ye Guan would always feel this heavy pressure on his shoulders whenever Master Pagoda mentioned the Ye Clan. In his eyes, they were an incredibly powerful clan that treated Imperial-rank demonic beasts as nothing but donkeys.

They were terrifying, but now, he was no longer just an ant compared to them.

Ye Guan took a deep breath. He sounded serious as he asked, “Master Pagoda, I’m going to keep working hard until I become strong enough to rescue my mother from them!”

Ye Clan: “???”

Little Pagoda smiled. “Good luck. I believe in you.”

Ye Guan blinked. There was a tinge of suspicion in his voice as he asked, “Master Pagoda, you’re acting strange today.”

Little Pagoda asked, “Strange?”

Ye Guan thought about it before shaking his head. “I can’t put my finger around it.”

Little Pagoda grinned. “Then stop thinking about it. Just focus on cultivating.”

Ye Guan nodded and smiled. “All right!”

With that, he finally looked around and saw that everyone was looking at him.

Ji Xuan dragged him away and ran. “Let’s go!”

The onlookers watched as they ran away until someone exclaimed, “Wasn’t that Ye Guan? Sword Immortal Ye Guan!”

Ye Guan? The onlookers were stunned.

Ye Guan was a famous figure on the Zhongtu Divine Continent. He was as famous as the Undying Clan’s Dongli Mo.

“Wait, what was that burst of energy earlier? Could it be that he was enlightened to something while examining the stone stele? It also felt like he broke through!”

“Goodness, does that mean he’s already a Great Sword Immortal?”

A Great Sword Immortal! The onlookers were shocked.?Such a young Great Sword Immortal was a terrifying idea that the onlookers couldn’t quite grasp.

Ji Xuan finally slowed down.

She made a sidelong glance at Ye Guan and asked, “You broke through?”

Ye Guan nodded. “Yes.”

“Are you a Great Sword Immortal now?” she asked.

Ye Guan went silent.

Ji Xuan calmly added, “If you’re not comfortable about saying it, don’t say it.”

Ye Guan smiled at her and said, “Lady Ji, I consider you my friend, so I’m not going to hide it from you. The breakthrough just now actually propelled me to Half-step Sword Sovereign.”

Half-step Sword Sovereign! Ji Xuan’s eyes widened, and then she exclaimed in excitement, “Really?”

Ye Guan nodded.

Ji Xuan gave him a thumbs up. “Impressive! You’re truly impressive!”

Ye Guan smiled. He also never expected that he would make a breakthrough just by examining a stone stele.

“You have to conceal your true strength,” said Ji Xuan.

Ye Guan stared at her.

Ji Xuan’s expression turned grim as she continued. “You’re going to join the Great Dao Destiny Contest. The contest alone will be a dangerous endeavor, but if you reveal your true power too early, unscrupulous people will definitely start targeting you.”

Ye Guan nodded. “I understand.”

Modest and low profile. Simply put, he had to act indifferent toward everything.

Ji Xuan smiled. “I didn’t expect that you would directly become a Half-step Sword Sovereign after just a single breakthrough.”

Ye Guan smiled and replied, “It was all thanks to you. If you hadn’t brought me to that stone stele, I wouldn’t have broken through.”

“Silly, you made a breakthrough because you’re strong. Do you remember how many swordsmen examine that stone stele every day? You’re the only one who comprehended the essence of those words.”

Comprehension! Ye Gain went silent.

He realized that comprehension was extremely important in cultivation.

However, comprehension wasn’t enough to reach the apex. One had to participate in numerous battles as well rather than just read ancient books. Otherwise, they would become a bookworm.

One had to go out and experience the world. The nuances of the world and the harsh reality couldn’t be conveyed through books a lot.

It was similar to breaking through realms. If one wanted to break through realms, one had to put what they had comprehended into practice.

“Are you going to represent Daoist Sect for the upcoming Destiny Contest?”

Ye Guan nodded at Ji Xuan’s question.

Ji Xuan thought about it before asking, “Are you interested in jumping ships? I know this sounds harsh, but the Daoist Sect is too weak. The Daoist Sect will not be able to help you assuage the injustice you’ll inevitably encounter during the Destiny Contest.

“However, it’s a different story if you join a powerful clan or organization like the Shen Clan or the Guanxuan Academy. Talent is important, but I admit that a backer is important as well.”

Ye Guan shook his head. He could still remember how every major clan in the Zhongtu Divine Continent refused to help him, aside from the Daoist Sect. The Daoist Sect was poor, but he would never forget the Daoist Clan’s generosity.

Ye Guan seemed to have recalled something.

“Why did you recommend the Guanxuan Academy to me? I mean, both you and the Guanxuan Academy aren’t exactly…” Ye Guan trailed off.

Ji Xuan smiled and explained, “There is enmity between the Guanxuan Academy and me, but I don’t hate them anymore.”

Ye Guan was confused. “Why?”

“I already killed those I hated,” she replied.

Ye Guan was stunned. He soon shook his head with a smile. What a fierce lady!

“Of course, they’re still not going to let me go, but I don’t care. The contestants for the Great Dao Destiny are protected, so the academy won’t be able to do anything to me. I’ll join out of spite and to piss them off!” said Ji Xuan.

Ye Guan boisterously laughed.

Rumble!

A horrifying aura suddenly descended upon them.

“I’m afraid that you won’t be able to take that chance!”

Ji Xuan’s eyes narrowed, and she exclaimed, “A powerhouse of the academy!”

Ye Guan frowned. “I thought powerhouses can’t come here and attack people?”

Ji Xuan rolled her eyes at Ye Guan. “The Guanxuan Academy and The Immortal Treasures Pavilion basically wear the same pants!”

Little Pagoda was speechless.

Ji Xuan said, “You should run!”

Ye Guan stood rooted and stared at Ji Xuan.

Ji Xuan smiled at him and said, “This is between me and them. You shouldn’t interfere.”

Ye Guan shook his head and said, “Let me help you escape. I’m very fast.”

He’s very fast?!?Ji Xuan blinked, and she blushed slightly.

However, Ye Guan didn’t wait for her reply. He created a sword made out of sword energy and hopped onto it.

“Hop on!” he said.

Ji Xuan obliged and stood in front of Ye Guan.

Moments later, the sword soared into the sky and disappeared into the horizon.

However, the horrifying aura followed closely behind them. Ji Xuan’s eyes narrowed, and she hurled a throwing dagger.

Shrieeek!

The air shrieked as it was torn apart by Ji Xuan’s throwing dagger.

Boom!

Ji Xuan’s throwing dagger exploded?upon impact, forcing an old man to retreat.

However, a gray-robed old man abruptly appeared in front of them.

Ji Xuan examined the gray-robed old man calmly and said, “Discipline Committee Head.”

Discipline Committee Head!?Ye Guan’s face fell.

An elder of the Guanxuan Academy was in front of them.

Ji Xuan smiled at Ye Guan. “You should go.”

Ye Guan shook his head.

Ji Xuan looked at Ye Guan. “You don’t have to face the fury of the Guanxuan Academy with me, do you understand what I’m saying?”

Ye Guan smiled at her and asked, “If I leave, will you be disappointed?”

Ji Xuan nodded. “I will, but I’ll understand.”

Ye Guan’s smile deepened as he said, “You had no reason to save me while I was injured, but you did. I think we’re friends now.”

“Now?” Ji Xuan smiled and retorted, “I thought we were already friends in Sin Abyss?”

“Can the two of you give me some respect?” the Discipline Committee Head said, “Do I look shabby? Is that why you’re ignoring me?”

Ye Guan examined the Discipline Committee Head before opening his palm. A sword made out of sword energy manifested in his hand.

“A Sword Immortal?” The Discipline Committee Head’s eyes narrowed.

Ye Guan stared at him. “Are you sure you can beat the two of us?”

The Discipline Committee Head was silent.

“If you insist on attacking us, we can only gang up on you. We’ll surely be on the Guanxuan Academy’s wanted list, but you’re going to die here.

”The Guanxuan Academy will throw you a lavish burial and give your family a bit of money to compensate them if you die. What do you think? Is it worth it?” asked Ye Guan.

The Discipline Committee Head wordlessly stared at Ye Guan.

Ye Guan sounded serious as he advised, “If I were you, I wouldn’t risk my life here. We don’t have any blood feud, and the academy isn’t worth risking our lives for. How about you come another day with a few more people? Sounds great, right?”

Ji Xuan looked at Ye Guan and blinked rapidly in confusion.

The Discipline Committee Head stared at Ye Guan for a moment before saying, “You’re talented and smart. Are you interested in joining the Guanxuan Academy?

”If you join us, we’ll provide you with anything you want. You can even have a harem of ladies if you want.”

Ji Xuan frowned. Why is this old geezer trying to use ladies to seduce Ye Guan?

Ye Guan replied, “You’ve put a bounty on the head of this lady next to me!”

The Discipline Committee Head’s expression turned grim as he said, “Honestly, I know that she suffered injustice while she was still a part of the academy. If you join the Guanxuan Academy, we’ll work together to reopen her case. Don’t worry, we should be able to get rid of anyone involved in the cover-up. We’ll clear her name in no time.”

He paused before adding, “She can return to the academy as well.”

Ye Guan went silent. Was this old man seriously here to recruit them?

Ji Xuan tugged on Ye Guan’s sleeve and shook her head.

Ye Guan stared at the Discipline Committee Head and asked, “Will you help me if the An Clan and the Ancient Heavenly Dragon Clan were to attack me?”

The Discipline Committee Head hesitated before shaking his head, “I cannot…”

Ye Guan wordlessly smiled.

The Discipline Committee Head revealed a complicated look. “I’m sorry, Young Master Ye. It seems that our academy is not fated to have you.”

“It’s fine,” Ye Guan said, “Just don’t attack me.”

The Discipline Committee Head shook his head and said, “We do not wish to become Young Master Ye’s enemies. I didn’t come here to attack you.”

He made a sidelong glance at Ji Xuan and said, “Ji Xuan, Academy Chief Gu has investigated what happened back then. He asked me to invite you back to the academy. Your case will be reopened.”

Ji Xuan smiled and asked, “What if I don’t return?”

The Discipline Committee Head spoke softly, “We will still reopen the case.”

“Is that so? Then, my apologies, but I have already gotten used to being alone.”

The Discipline Committee Head sighed.

Ye Guan asked, “Lady Ji, why don’t you join our Daoist Sect?” contemporary romance

Ji Xuan nodded. “Sure, I’ll join!”

The Discipline Committee Head was too stunned to speak.
