I Have A Sword-Chapter 1404: All Over

This was a trap! Ye Guan's face was terrifyingly dark. Hao'er was merely a decoy meant to mislead him. The true traitor of the Old Lands was actually Mu Xuanxu.

He had to admit that this was unexpected.

Mu Xuanxu was one of the most monstrous geniuses of the younger generation in the Old Lands. However, he was actually a member of the Suiming Civilization and had even killed himself to frame Ye Guan.

He even annihilated both his fleshly body and soul!

How had Sui Gujin accomplished that? And Mu Xuanxu... he was truly ruthless.

"Damn it!" Little Pagoda cursed, "That bastard actually sacrificed himself just to set you up..."

Ye Guan remained silent, quietly calculating his next move.

"You deserve to die!" someone from the Old Lands roared and sent a punch toward.

Boom!

The spacetime around Ye Guan exploded, but Ye Guan had already retreated several dozen meters away. Meanwhile, the Qingxuan Sword flew back into his grasp. freewēbnoveℓ.com

Just as he came to a halt, a terrifying force rushed toward him.

Ye Guan swung his sword downward without hesitation.

Boom!

With a single slash, the old man was sent flying away.

The old man stopped midair, and his face was filled with shock.

Ye Guan had actually severed his arm with a single strike! When his gaze fell upon the Qingxuan Sword in Ye Guan's hand, a trace of fear surfaced in his eyes.

The others around them were equally astonished.

Ye Guan turned and rushed toward the clan hall in the distance.

Before he could get far, the Divine Guardian wielding a long saber slashed down at him. The Divine Guardian was significantly stronger than the old man from earlier. As soon as it made its move, the world became illusory and ethereal.

Ye Guan's face remained expressionless in the face of the attack.

Crack!

A loud noise echoed as the Divine Guardian's long saber cracked open. Then, the Divine Guardian was blasted away.

Ye Guan took this opportunity to transform into a streak of sword light, vanishing into the distance.

The Divine Guardian quickly recovered, but by then, Ye Guan had already entered the grand hall.

The elites of the Old Lands and the Eternal Civilization chased after Ye Guan, but the Divine Guardian swung its saber at them.

The old man's face changed drastically. The others also didn't dare to be careless and quickly moved to defend themselves.

***

Ye Guan gazed into the hall's depths and saw a statue of a middle-aged man with his hands clasped behind his back, looking all calm and composed. Apart from the statue, the hall was completely empty. It was cold and desolate.

Ye Guan looked at the statue and said, "Senior."

The statue suddenly trembled slightly.

The next moment, a soul projection drifted out of it.

The middle-aged man glanced at Ye Guan and smiled. "The Dao of Order, and you've even established a Dao Lineage. Interesting."

Ye Guan said, "Senior, since you left behind a soul projection, you must have some unfinished business. Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Hahaha, you sly brat." The middle-aged man chuckled. "If you want the entire legacy of the Tianji Clan, just say it outright."

Ye Guan nodded. "I do indeed want it."

Right now, what he lacked most was money and divine artifacts.

If he could obtain the wealth of the Tianji Clan, the power of the Ten Desolate Universe, the Forbidden Wildlands, and the Other Shore would all receive a massive boost.

Money! He had never been this desperate for money!

The middle-aged man looked at him and smiled. "Give me a reason."

Ye Guan stared straight at him. "Senior, you won't find anyone better than me."

Little Pagoda was dumbfounded.

The middle-aged man looked at Ye Guan for a moment before bursting into laughter. "Good! Direct and confident. I like that!"

Then, he looked toward the outside of the hall. "But it seems like you're in a bit of trouble right now."

Ye Guan replied, "Just a small issue."

"Your enemies... are they from the Old Lands and the Eternal Civilization?"

"Yes."

"And you call that a small issue?"

Ye Guan didn't speak. Instead, he flicked his sleeve, and the Qingxuan Sword floated before the middle-aged man.

He understood very well that elites who left behind their soul projections would do so for two reasons: to find a vessel and live again, and lastly, for some unfinished business.

Thus, he had to be direct, and it meant showing his worth! If he had value, the other party would choose him. Otherwise, he could kneel here for ten thousand years, and the middle-aged man still wouldn't care about him.

The middle-aged man stared at the Qingxuan Sword for a long time before looking back at Ye Guan. Then, he opened his palm, and a storage ring appeared in his hand. "The Tianji Clan's everything is inside this ring.

"Help me accomplish one thing, and it's yours."

"What is it?"

The middle-aged man smiled. "Would you like to hear a story?"

Ye Guan hesitated before saying, "Senior, time is of the essence. Can you keep it short?"

He really didn't have the patience to listen to a story right now!

The middle-aged man chuckled. "Alright. I want you to revive the Tianji Clan. Our clan was passed down for countless generations, but I failed to protect it in the end. I am deeply ashamed and afraid to face my ancestors..."

"Does the ring contain your clan's cultivation methods?"

The middle-aged man nodded. "Yes."

Ye Guan thought for a moment and said, "How about this? I will find someone with exceptional character in the future and support them in establishing the new generation of the Tianji Clan."

The middle-aged man nodded. "Deal."

He had high regard for Ye Guan, but he knew that this young swordsman would never join the Tianji Clan.

Ye Guan's strength had already surpassed the clan's glory days. The Tianji Clan was too small to contain such a monster. As long as Ye Guan was willing to help a future inheritor revive the clan, that was more than enough for him.

With Ye Guan's help, the Tianji Clan's revival was only a matter of time.

The middle-aged man opened his palm, and the storage ring slowly floated to Ye Guan.

Ye Guan didn't check the contents. He simply stored it away and asked, "Senior, about that Divine Guardian outside..."

The middle-aged man smiled. "I knew you'd want it. It's actually a construct from an array, and the method to create it is inside the ring. If you learn it, you can summon multiple Divine Guardians. Of course, it'll be very expensive."

Then, he extended his palm, and the array outside trembled.

The Divine Guardian turned into a beam of light and returned to the array.

The array then condensed into a glowing orb, which flew into the hall and landed in the middle-aged man's hand.

He glanced at it before passing it to Ye Guan.

Ye Guan took it and sensed an immense power within. Recalling the Divine Guardian's earlier might, he couldn't help but be curious.

He looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "Senior, what kind of enemy did the Tianji Clan face back then?"

The middle-aged man sighed. "In this world, the big fish will eat the little fish, and the little fish will eat the shrimp. If a little fish encounters a big fish, well... that's just bad luck."

Ye Guan nodded. "I understand."

The middle-aged man gazed outside and smiled. "I still have a bit of strength left. Would you like my help in escaping this place?"

Ye Guan shook his head. "There's no escape."

His enemies weren't just from the Suiming Civilization anymore. The Old Lands and the Eternal Civilization were after him as well.

How could he possibly escape? He had to admit that Sui Gujin was truly impressive. She forced him into a desperate situation so quickly. Just thinking about the three civilizations joining forces against him made his scalp tingle...

The middle-aged man stared deeply at Ye Guan. "Take care, then, young friend."

With that, his figure became illusory. He looked at the sky, gazing at the world outside, and his eyes were filled with complexity.

Once upon a time, he was full of ambition, determined to lead the Tianji Clan in the fight for the legendary Supreme Throne to become the ruler of the vast expanse.

The higher he climbed, the more dangers he faced. In the end, he faced his end. The middle-aged man suddenly laughed, as he no longer had any regrets. Even though he hadn't reached the peak, he tried his best, so there was nothing to regret.

Ye Guan bowed slightly. When the middle-aged man disappeared, a complex light flashed in his eyes before he turned around and walked outside.

When Ye Guan walked outside, the elites from the Eternal Civilization and the Old Lands were already blocking the entrance. More than a dozen individuals stared at him intently, and their eyes were filled with unrestrained killing intent and fury.

Ye Guan glanced at them, and in the next moment, he transformed into a sword light that shot into the sky.

One of the elders was enraged. "Trying to escape?!"

With that, he soared into the sky, rushing straight toward Ye Guan.

Ye Guan raised his hand and slashed downward with his sword.

Boom!

A burst of sword light erupted, and Ye Guan's attack blasted the elder away. As soon as he hit the ground, a crack split open on his forehead, and blood gushed out of the wound.

The elder's face was livid with rage. "Stop him! Stop him!"

The others immediately charged toward Ye Guan in the sky.

Meanwhile, Ye Guan headed straight toward Heavenly Capital...

Little Pagoda was puzzled. "Kid, where are you going?"

Ye Guan calmly replied, "We can't escape."

Little Pagoda said, "Even so, aren't you walking into a trap here?"

Ye Guan said nothing and proceeded straight into the city.

Meanwhile, the pursuers had already caught up to him. Seeing that Ye Guan had fled to Heavenly Capital, they were stunned. What was that guy trying to do?
