Chapter 228: The Ancestor Has Surrendered!
Over a hundred members of the Han Clan perished when the cultivators of the Han Clan finally reacted. The deceased were killed in a matter of seconds, giving them no chance to resist.
Han Yun’s expression changed to one of fear. It turned out that Ye Guan had been hiding his true prowess.
The Han Clan had just offended someone they shouldn’t have offended.
In addition to the Han Clan, Lian Shuang and Zong Shou were stunned as well.
The powerful members of the Han Clan were being slaughtered like chickens. There were quite a few Earth Immortal Realm cultivators, but they also died without being able to resist.
The woman marred by a birthmark looked at Ye Guan. She had more or less guessed his identity. He had to be the Young Master of the Guanxuan Universe.
The woman marred by a birthmark looked at the cultivators in the Han Clan and shook her head slightly. Even if the Han Clan had an Unyielding Sovereign, there was no way they could fight the Guanxuan Universe, not to mention a mere Han Zong with the Unyielding Bones standing at their helm.
An Unyielding Sovereign was incredibly powerful, but how could a mere Unyielding Sovereign be stronger than the Guanxuan Universe’s Sword Master?
The Sword Master had once infiltrated the deepest reaches of the True Universe.
Was Ye Guan worthy of becoming Han Zong’s big brother? Of course! In fact, Han Zong was the one who would profit greatly from such an arrangement. Ye Guan was the Young Master of the Guanxuan Universe, after all.
The powerhouses of the Han Clan perished one by one.
They wanted to resist, but they were killed the moment they fought back.
They hurriedly looked up to ask their ancestor for help, but they were astonished to find a scythe pressed on their ancestor’s neck. Their ancestor was still alive, as he had raised his hand in surrender.
The ancestor had come here using just his avatar, but he realized that the scythe-wielding man in black standing next to him could actually kill his true body from a distance.
He would have perished along with his avatar if he hadn’t surrendered.
The Han Clan members despaired at the sight.
All of a sudden, Han Zong tugged on Ye Guan’s arm. His voice was trembling as he muttered, “Big Brother…”
Ye Guan finally stopped pointing.
The scythe-wielding men in black stopped and stood behind Ye Guan.
The Han Clan cultivators were terrified.
Ye Guan turned toward Han Yun and smiled. “You’re too dumb to be the Han Clan’s Clan Leader. From now on, Han Zong is the clan leader of the Han Clan. Do you have a problem with that?”
Han Yun quietly stared at Ye Guan.
Ye Guan suddenly said, “Kill him.”
Han Yun’s head flew into the air.
He died with just a sentence from Ye Guan.
The Han Clan members hurriedly retreated at the sight.
The ancestor of the Han Clan stared at Ye Guan and said, “Young Master, there’s a misunderstanding here.”
Ye Guan ignored the Han Clan’s ancestor and turned toward Han Zong.
“Han Zong, you know what’s going on here better than anyone, but your people tried to chase us away as soon as they arrived without even asking us for the full picture. I thought it was just a misunderstanding, so I wasn’t angry at first.
”However, they weren’t willing to listen to us at all. What do you think? Were they right?”
Han Zong spoke apologetically, “Big Brother, I’m sorry...”
Ye Guan smiled and said, “You still call me Big Brother, so I won’t make things harder for you. However, you have to become the Clan Leader of the Han Clan. Otherwise, I will kill everyone here aside from you.”
The expressions of the Han Clan members and cultivators turned ugly.
They were furious, but they were more scared than furious.
Ye Guan could truly annihilate the Han Clan.
Han Zong nodded at Ye Guan’s words and said, “Okay, I’ll do it.”
“Great.” Ye Guan smiled. He then looked toward the cultivators of the Han Clan and said, “Your people are dumb. The Unyielding Bones are already in your hands, so they’ll surely grow arrogant by riding on your coattails. At this rate, it’s only a matter of time before they offend those they can’t afford to offend.
”You have to restrain them and make sure that they won’t get too arrogant.”
“Okay.” Han Zong nodded and said, “My sister will help me with that.”
Ye Guan smiled before saying, “Okay, then bring them back with you to the Han Clan. You still haven’t gotten used to your Unyielding Bones. Make sure to spend time getting familiar with it once you’ve returned to your clan.”
“I understand, Big Brother,” said Han Zong. He hesitated briefly before saying, “I really am sorry for what happened earlier.”
He turned to Lian Shuang and the others and said, “I’m sorry…”
Ye Guan smiled and replied, “Your attitude is the most important to us, so don’t worry. We’re not angry.”
Lian Shuang and Zong Shou nodded. Of course, they were furious earlier, but they were no longer angry upon witnessing Han Zong’s attitude toward them.
“Great!” Han Zong grinned. He then cupped his fist and said, “Please find time to visit me at the Sky Department in the future.”
Ye Guan nodded. “Sure.”
Han Zong quietly turned around.
He glanced at the remaining Han Clan members and said, “Let’s go!”
Han Zong disappeared into a spacetime tunnel. The Han Clan members and cultivators hurriedly followed after him. They didn’t want to stay here for even a second longer.
The Han Clan ancestor glanced at Ye Guan before disappearing.
The woman marred by a birthmark looked at Ye Guan with astonishment. The young man had just shown her that he could be brutal and decisive as well as gentle and polite.
People like Ye Guan would be great friends but terrifying enemies.
Lian Shuang murmured, “Everyone will soon know of Han Zong’s name.”
Zong Shou nodded with a complex expression.
Han Zong would soon leave them all behind. The gap between them and Han Zong was already so massive, after all.
Of course, Ye Guan was an exception.
Zong Shou and Lian Shuang suddenly turned to look at Ye Guan.
Ye Guan smiled and asked, “What’s up with that gaze?”
Lian Shuang said solemnly, “Brother Ye, are you really from the Guanxuan Universe?”
Ye Guan nodded. “That’s right.”
Lian Shuang hesitated before saying, “I heard that the Guanxuan Universe’s Chosen One had appeared not too long ago. Are you the Guanxuan Universe’s Chosen One?”
The woman marred by a birthmark looked at Lian Shuang and Zong Shou. They weren’t as well-informed as her because their families weren’t as great as her family.
Ye Guan chuckled and said, “Nope, that’s not me.”
Lian Shuang’s brows furrowed. He wanted to ask more questions, but a rift in space abruptly manifested. An old man walked out of the rift, and ten people stood behind him.
The old man walked up to Lian Shuang and bowed. “Young Master!”
Lian Shuang smiled before turning to Ye Guan and the rest.
“Brother Ye, Brother Zong, and Miss, I’m leaving. Farewell!” he said.
Ye Guan and the rest nodded.
“Take care!” said Ye Guan.
“If you have time, do come to the Xuan World,” said Lian Shuang with a smile. He cupped his fist afterward and disappeared into the spacetime tunnel with the old man.
Zong Shou suddenly said, “Brother Ye, I will have to leave as well.”
Ye Guan looked at Zong Shou.
Zong Shou cupped his fist and said, “Brother Ye, Miss, we shall meet again if we’re fated to meet once more.”
Ye Guan nodded. “Indeed.”
With that, Zong Shou took to the skies and disappeared.
An old man was waiting for him on the distant horizon.
Soon, Zong Shou and the old man disappeared as well.
Ye Guan turned to the woman marred by a birthmark and smiled. “Miss, it’s about time I take my leave. We shall meet again if there’s an opportunity for us to meet in the future.”
The woman marred by a birthmark quietly stared at Ye Guan.
Ye Guan went silent and turned around to leave. He wasn’t offended by the woman’s silence, as he was aware that she didn’t like to speak.
The spacetime next to the woman marred by a birthmark split open, and a white-robed old man walked out of the rift. Nine mysterious cultivators clad in golden armor stood behind the old man.
Ye Guan was startled upon seeing the white-robed old man.
This white-robed elder’s aura was horrifying. The world seemed to distort beneath his presence. Ye Guan reckoned that was as strong as a Divine Sovereign. Ye Guan was shocked. He truly didn’t expect to see someone as powerful as a Divine Sovereign in a place .
The white-robed old man glanced at Ye Guan before turning to look at the woman.
“Miss, the clan leader has ordered me to fetch you.”
The woman marred by a birthmark nodded slightly before walking toward a spacetime tunnel. She was about to enter the tunnel when she stopped and turned to Ye Guan.
Ye Guan smiled at her and shouted, “See you next time!”
The woman marred by a birthmark’s gaze didn’t leave Ye Guan. It looked like she wanted to say something, but Ye Guan turned around and left. The woman marred by a birthmark was silent for quite a while before she eventually left as well.
The white-robed old man made a sidelong glance at Ye Guan’s departing figure in the distance before turning around to leave.
Ye Guan soon arrived at the foot of the mountain.
An Nanjing appeared in front of him.
Ye Guan smiled, “Senior, my apologies, but I failed to get the Undying Bones.”
An Nanjing nodded slightly and said, “It’s actually great that you didn’t accept it.” Ye Guan did not understand. “Why?”
An Nanjing looked at Ye Guan. “Why would you need the Unyielding Bones when you had an Invincible Sword Intent?”
Ye Guan boisterously laughed at the remark.
An Nanjing said, “Let me bring you somewhere else.”
Ye Guan suddenly asked, “How’s the Xuzhen Battlefield?”
An Nanjing replied, “It’s fine.”
An Nanjing added, “Don’t overthink it. Your growth is the priority here.”
Ye Guan nodded. “I understand.”
His enemies were from the True Universe, and he couldn’t afford to underestimate them—no, he wasn’t qualified to underestimate them.
Ye Guan suddenly asked, “Where are we going next?”
An Nanjing said, “We’re going to the Holy Burial Mountain.” Ye Guan was curious. “Holy Burial Mountain?”
Ye Guan asked, “What kind of place is that?”
An Nanjing calmly explained, “Outstanding cultivators throughout the all worlds and the four large universes had always done one thing after reaching the summit of their world—challenge the True God of the True Universe.
“Upon failure and death, their corpses are pinned to the Holy Burial Mountain. The previous challenger was an outstanding swordsman, so we should go there and take a look.”
A holy burial ground. An outstanding swordsman. Ye Guan was silent.
An Nanjing said, “This time, you have a mission.”
Ye Guan was curious, “What mission?”
An Nanjing said, “Mortal.”
Ye Guan looked at her, “The Mortal Sword Realm?”
“I understand,” said Ye Guan.
“The Yin Spirit has placed an enormous bounty on your head, so I suggest you avoid creating unnecessary trouble. You shouldn’t use the name Ye Guan anymore, so from now on, your name is Yang Guan.”
Little Pagoda had no idea what to say upon hearing that.
