Chapter 167: Let’s Fight!
Ao Sheng’s face darkened. Damn! Is she supporting Ye Guan just because he’s handsome? Ao Sheng’s head started to ache at the thought alone. Does she like him? It seems that girls truly become short-sighted when in love.
Ao Qianqian explained in a low voice, “Young Master Ye has just arrived at Guanxuan Universe. He’s poor with no one supporting him, so he must be struggling to find resources for his cultivation.
“I would like to give him some dragon crystals. If possible, I would like to give him a few drops of Ancient Heavenly Dragon blood as well. Ancient Heavenly Dragon blood is much better than True Dragon blood, and I’m sure he’ll improve greatly with it.”
Ao Sheng wordlessly stared at Ao Qianqian. He finally understood how fathers felt when their daughters started siding with outsiders. So this is how it feels. It doesn’t feel great, but we’re talking about such a young Sword Sovereign. It doesn’t sound that bad.
Ao Sheng decided to let the young people settle their own issues. He waved his hand and said, “Go ahead and do what you think is right.”
Ao Qianqian hurriedly asked, “Can I bring a few Ancient Heavenly Dragons to protect him?”
Ao Sheng’s expression stiffened. He glared at Ao Qianqian and shouted, “You might as well just give yourself to him!”
Ao Qianqian rolled her eyes at Ao Sheng as a blush appeared on her cheeks. “What are you talking about, Father? I’m just a good friend of Young Master Ye. We haven’t reached that stage yet. Sigh, I’m not talking to you anymore!
She then turned around and ran away, leaving a speechless Ao Sheng behind.
Ye Guan finally arrived at the Sword Sect under Cao Bai’s guidance, and it turned out that the Sword Sect wasn’t within the confines of the Guanxuan Academy but was located on the so-called Floating Mountain.
It was rumored that Floating Mountain used to be in the Southern Region, but the Sword Master used a divine ability to move the entire Floating Mountain to the Guanxuan Universe.
There were over a hundred thousand mountains behind Floating Mountain.
Each mountain was like an upside-down sword hanging in the air.
They all look majestic.
Behind the mountains was an endless stretch of mountains, and one could occasionally hear the sound of metal clashing against metal from within the mountain range.
Ye Guan smiled. He was finally at the Sword Sect. It was the holy land of swordsmen, so he had always wanted to visit the Sword Sect.
“Brother Ye, what do you think?” asked Cao Bai.
Ye Guan smiled, “What a majestic sight!”
Cao Bai laughed. “Let’s go! Let’s go and find First Senior Brother.”
First Senior Brother.
Ye Guan was safe here, so he had no issues meeting the people here.
Ye Guan glanced at the man and woman next to Cao Bai. They were both Sword Sovereigns. Cao Bai had introduced them to him. The man’s name was Yuan Gong, and the woman’s name was Qin Xue.
Needless to say, they were powerful swordsmen in their own right.
The group hopped onto their swords and flew to the summit of Floating Mountain. Ye Guan looked ahead and saw a huge palace, which seemed to be about three hundred meters tall. There was a statue at the entrance of the palace
It wasn’t a statue of the Sword Master.
The statue depicted a man clad in a blue robe.
There was a cute, white, and furry animal sitting on his shoulder.
Ye Guan was curious. “Brother Cao, who is he?”
“He’s our Sword Sect’s founding ancestor. Sword Master Qingshan,” replied Cao Bai.
Ye Guan inwardly asked, “Master Pagoda, do you know Sword Master Qingshan?”
Little Pagoda replied, “Stop talking to me. I don’t want to talk to you. I know that you’re trying to trick me again, so forget it!”
Ye Guan was dumbfounded.
Meanwhile, Cao Bai continued. “Sword Master Qingshan is the World[1] Sword Master’s father. He’s a supreme swordsman and was invincible during his time.
”It’s a pity that we’ve never seen him."
Ye Guan examined Sword Master Qingshan before inwardly asking, “Master Pagoda, the Yang Family is truly a family of powerhouses. I truly didn’t expect that they had two generations of Sword Masters.
”I still remember what you said about how the Sword Master’s son is a good-for-nothing. It seems that fortune truly cannot last beyond two generations."
“What?” Little Pagoda suddenly said, “I said something good about him as well! How come you’ve forgotten all the good things I’ve said but memorized all the bad things?”
Ye Guan was about to reply when Cao Bai spoke, “Brother Ye, let’s go and meet First Senior Brother.”
Cao Bai pulled Ye Guan into the Sword Hall.
Ye Guan’s eyes were drawn to a man wearing a white shirt. The man’s long hair fell over his shoulders, and he was holding a short sword.
Ye Guan’s eyes narrowed.
The man only had one arm, and he was holding a broken sword.
Cao Bai bowed deeply and spoke respectfully, “Greetings, First Senior Brother.”
The people next to Cao Bai bowed deeply as well.
The man walked over to Ye Guan. He stared at Ye Guan for a moment before nodding and opening his palm. A token appeared in front of Ye Guan.
“From now on, you’re a student of the Sword Sect.”
“But the Academy has an arrest warrant out for me…” Ye Guan muttered hesitantly.
The man nodded and said, “Give me a moment.”
He walked out of the Sword Hall and looked up. “Go!”
A buzzing noise echoed as the short sword in his hand took off and pierced the clouds to arrive at the Martial Department of the Main Guanxuan Academy.
The students of the Martial Department were shocked.
The Head Military Official appeared in front of the Martial Department. His eyes narrowed upon seeing the broken sword.
“Chen Guanzi!” he shouted.
Chen Guanzi’s voice echoed throughout the entire Guanxuan Universe.
“Head Military Official, you have fifteen minutes to retract the warrant of arrest on my junior brother. Otherwise, I’ll visit the Martial Department and challenge you in a life-or-death battle. I don’t care how many students you have out there, I’ll kill them all once I’m done with you.”
The students of the Martial Department were furious at Chen Guanzi’s bold declaration.
A young man stepped out in fury. “Military Official, I’m willing to fight Chen Guanzi on behalf of the Martial Department.”
The Head Military Official remained silent. He and Chen Guanzi had been to Xuzhen World before, so he was aware of Chen Guanzi’s terrifying prowess. There were only two people capable of fighting Chen Guanzi—the Chosen One and Chen Ge
Chen Ge was the Representative of the Martial Department, but he was away on a mission. The Chosen One’s attention was solely on his cultivation, so no one in the Martial Department was strong enough to face Chen Guanzi.
The Head Military Official’s face turned grim. He didn’t expect that the Sword Sect would stand on Ye Guan’s side. To make matters worse, they had even declared their stance loud and clear.
The young man in front of the Head Military Official said, “Military Official, I’m willing to fight Chen Guanzi.”
The students of the Martial Department stepped out and expressed their willingness to fight Chen Guanzi.
However, the Head Military Official shook his head, “None of you are his match.”
With that, he turned around and left to retract Ye Guan’s arrest warrant. He was an influential figure in the Academy, so he had been able to find ways to make sure that Ye Guan’s arrest warrant would remain, but now, he had no choice but to retract it himself.
A student of the Martial Department stepped out with an indignant look.
“Don’t cross the line, Sword Sect!” he shouted. He then turned to look at the broken sword and said, “Chen Guanzi, I’m willing to fight you in a life-or-death battle!”
The broken sword abruptly turned into a ray of sword light. The dazzling sword light streaked across the Martial Department grounds and decapitated the Martial Department student.
Blood erupted like a geyser from the stump.
Everyone reeled in horror at the terrifying sight.
The Head Military Official’s face darkened. He looked up at the sky and shouted, “Chen Guanzi, don’t go overboard!
Chen Guanzhi stared expressionlessly at the sky and responded, “Unhappy? Fight me in a life-or-death battle.”
His voice boomed like thunder in the skies above the Guanxuan Academy. The entire Guanxuan Academy was shocked. Will the Martial Department fight the Sword Sect!
The Head Military Official’s eyes narrowed. He was about to speak when an old man appeared in front of him. The Head Military Official was slightly startled to see the old man, but he quickly recovered and cupped his fist.
“Old Zhang,” he said.
Old Zhang nodded in acknowledgment and said, “An order from the Guanxuan Committee has come. You are to retract Ye Guan’s arrest warrant.”
The Head Military Official was silent.
Old Zhang looked at him and said, “Head Military Official, there’s no reason to kick up a fuss when the fight has already been decided. At this rate, the Chosen One’s victory will not be acknowledged as a glorious one even if he won.”
The Head Military Official looked at Old Zhang and asked, “Are you speaking on behalf of the Guanxuan Committee?”
Old Zhang calmly replied, “It is my opinion.”
The Head Military Official went silent.
Old Zhang wordlessly turned around to leave.
The Head Military Official frowned, and his thoughts were unknown.
Meanwhile, the students of the Martial Department were furious. The Sword Sect was bullying them and had just disrespected them by killing one of them. Everyone looked at the Head Military Official, but the latter was silent while staring in the Sword Sect’s direction.
The Head Military Official was well aware of Ye Guan’s talent. It would be hard to predict the result of the upcoming fight if Ye Guan was allowed to cultivate in the Sword Sect and was given the Sword Sect’s massive pool of resources.
I can’t target Ye Guan. He’s no longer on his own. The Sword Sect is behind him.
A young man stepped out, and he was none other than the Chosen One.
Everyone bowed toward him.
“Greetings, Senior Lu Tian.”
Lu Tian looked up at the sky and calmly said, “The Sword Sect challenged us, right, Tutor? Then, let’s fight!”
Fight! The students were thrilled, and their blood boiled as they shouted, “Let’s fight!”
The Martial Department was clearly being bullied. If they were to just accept the bullying, would they be able to even lift their heads in the future?
Lu Tian smiled and said, “It’s just the Sword Sect. What’s the big deal? Fight! Let’s go to the Life or Death Stage.”
With that, he turned around and disappeared into the horizon
The students of the Martial Department flew into the sky as well and chased after him.
The Head Military Official stood rooted and remained silent all throughout. Of course, he didn’t stop them either. Why would he stop them? The Sword Sect had gone overboard with their bullying today.
If the Martial Department were to submit to them, they would never be able to lift their heads in the Guanxuan Academy.
Fight. They should fight! The Head Military Official opened his palm. A transmission talisman took off from his palm and disappeared into the horizon.
The Head Military Official looked up and muttered, “It’s about time for you all to come back. Otherwise, people will start thinking that the Martial Department has no people to defend it.”
A multitudinous number of people in the Guanxuan Academy rushed toward the massive Life or Death Stage. Students belonging to the aristocratic faction and the great clan faction also rushed to the scene. Of course, they stood on the Chosen One’s side.
Meanwhile, Lu Tian finally arrived in front of the Sword Sect’s Sword Hall.
“You people want a fight, right?” Lu Tian’s voice echoed from the skies, “Let’s fight, then! The students of the Martial Department are waiting for you at the Life or Death Stage. We’ll wait for you, and we’ll fight to the death.”
Fight to the death! Lu Tian infused profound energy in his voice, causing it to spread throughout the entire Guanxuan Academy and the Sword Sect.
Chen Guanzi looked indifferent at the declaration.
He slowly turned toward Cao Bai and shouted, “All right, let’s fuck them up!”
