Chapter 106: Where Do You Live?
Everyone felt a shiver down their spine upon seeing the woman in a blood-red skirt.
The woman’s long hair was draped over her shoulders, and her indifferent eyes were as cold as a thousand-year-old icy cavern. It seemed like everyone was a mere ant in her eyes.
Her blood-red skirt looked like it had been dyed with real blood, and it gave off a sinister aura as it swayed in the wind.
“Plain-Skirt Sister?” asked Ye Guan. As far as Ye Guan could remember, the woman was wearing a plain skirt rather than a blood-red skirt.
Ye Guan was surprised. He didn’t expect to see her here.
The woman wordlessly turned toward Ye Guan.
Ye Guan smiled bitterly and said, “Actually… I think I can handle them myself.”
Ye Guan started blaming himself. He didn’t feel great knowing that he had just involved the woman in his issues. However, the woman didn’t respond. She stared intently at Ye Guan as if it was her first time taking a closer look at him.
Ye Guan stammered, “Plain-Skirt Sis—”
“Call me Aunt!” said the woman.
Ye Guan was taken aback. “Aunt?”
The woman nodded.
Ye Guan suddenly asked, “Master Pagoda told me that my father was a womanizer, is it true?”
Little Pagoda cried out, “I’m finished. It’s all over for me!”
The woman frowned ever so slightly.
Little Pagoda was so scared, and he felt as if his soul had left him.
Just then, An Ya suddenly scoffed, “You’re his Dao Protector? It seems that—”
Shwik!
A sword light struck An Ya’s forehead without any warning. She flew at least thirty meters away before her flight was interrupted by a boulder. The sword light pinned her to the boulder, immobilizing her.
“Did I allow you to speak?” said the woman.
The onlookers stared in disbelief at the woman in a blood-red skirt.
Gu Chaoyuan’s eyes shot wide open as he stared at the woman in a blood-red skirt.
“W-w-what? I-Is she a Great Sword Sovereign?” he stammered.
Ye Guan was in disbelief as well. She’s so strong! He failed to track the woman in a blood-red skirt’s sword light, which meant that she was more powerful than Master Pagoda’s description of her.
The powerhouses of the An Clan were dumbstruck. Before they realized it, their clan leader was already pinned to a boulder with a sword light sticking out of the back of her head.
An old man glared at the woman in a blood-red skirt.
“I’ll be your opponent!” he shouted. He soared into the air in a dramatic fashion.
Crackle! Numerous light red lightning bolts manifested around him.
The lightning bolts were so powerful that the space within a hundred-meter radius of the old man distorted under the influence of his lightning bolts.
The tournament square also gave in beneath the lightning bolt’s power, and a crack resembling a spider web was created.
The onlookers reckoned that if the old man were to throw those lightning bolts at Mount Guanxuan, Mount Guanxuan would definitely fall apart.
A Divine Tribulation Realm cultivator was just that powerful.
The onlookers went silent and could only watch the upcoming confrontation.
The old man was an elder of the An Clan. He glared at the woman in a blood-red skirt and roared, “Show me just how strong your sword is!”
A rod appeared in his hand. He raised it up high, and the light red lightning bolts converged at the tip of the lightning rod. Moments later, the old man charged at the woman in a blood-red skirt with the lightning rod in hand.
Rumble!
Thunder roared as the divine lightning bolts that the lightning rod was carrying pounced at the woman in a blood-red skirt. The divine lightning bolts were so terrifying that they directly annihilated the space that dared to stand in their way.
A ray of sword light soared across the skies. It flew so fast that before the onlookers could react, the old man was already pinned to the same boulder as An Ya.
A sword made out of sword energy was sticking out of the old man’s forehead, pinning him to the boulder. He couldn’t move anymore.
At this point, everyone was beyond stupefaction. The old man was instantly immobilized. It was so absurd that the onlookers had no idea how to react.
An Ya was still alive. She stared at the woman in a blood-red skirt in disbelief. Her voice was trembling as she cried out, “Y-y-you’re a Great Sword Sovereign!”
The crowd was thrown into an uproar at An Ya’s roar. A Great Sword Sovereign has come here? Don’t Great Sword Sovereigns only exist in the Main Guanxuan Academy? Is she from the Main Guanxuan Academy?
“No! The An Clan knows every Great Sword Sovereign in the Main Guanxuan Academy! You’re a rogue Great Sword Sovereign!” An Ya cried out once more, and her words allowed her to regain some confidence.
Why would she be afraid of a rogue cultivator?
However, An Ya could still remember the feeling of fear and trepidation that gripped her heart upon being pinned to a boulder. Furious, she roared, “Summon our ancestor!”
The powerhouses of the An Clan obliged, and the ancestral hall of the An Clan was suddenly inundated with a dazzling light.
Moments later, the dazzling light coalesced into a beam of light that flew all the way from the distant Qingzhou to the Zhongtu Divine Continent’s Guanxuan Academy.
The light scattered into innumerable light particles above the valley, but those light particles gathered once more to take on the figure of the An Clan’s ancestor.
Boom!
A massive void appeared in the skies above the tournament square, and every cultivator in the vicinity felt their profound energy going out of control. A terrifying figure was about to descend as space itself was annihilated in the face of the figure’s aura alone.
The onlookers’ expressions turned grim. The An Clan had summoned one of their ancestors. Aside from the two Martial Goddesses, the An Clan also had a multitude of powerhouses throughout the Guanxuan Universe.
It wasn’t strange considering their history that spanned a few million years, and those powerhouses represented the An Clan’s true power.
Many of them had left Qingzhou to spread their wings, but some of those powerhouses left a portion of their will with the An Clan to help the An Clan deal with their enemies as a last resort.
The descending figure was just a projection made out of a powerhouse’s will, but the projection was stronger than a Divine Tribulation Realm cultivator.
An Ya glared at the woman in a blood-red skirt. “Aren’t you strong? I really want to see if your sword is still as strong—”
The woman in a blood-red skirt glanced blandly at the dazzling figure on the horizon, and a deafening explosion occurred.
The onlookers had to pick their jaws up from the floor as the dazzling figure shattered into innumerable light crystals.
The projection was shattered before it could even descend, and everyone finally realized just what kind of a powerhouse was a Great Sword Sovereign.
An Ya stared agape at the horizon. Her mind went completely blank.
It’s gone? Our ancestor’s will is gone?
The onlookers also couldn’t find any words to speak.
Ye Guan fell silent as he stood next to the woman in a blood-red skirt.
He hesitated for a few moments before calling out, “Master Pagoda?”
However, Little Pagoda didn’t respond to him.
The woman in a blood-red skirt turned to An Ya.
Her expression was indifferent as she asked, “Anyone else?”
An Ya glared at the woman in a blood-red skirt and bellowed, “Just who are you?! Tell me your name!”
The woman in a blood-red skirt shook her head and said, “You’re not worthy.”
“I’m not worthy?” An Ya felt like she was going crazy as she shouted, “My An Clan’s history in the Guanxuan Universe spans a few million years, and we have a multitude of powerhouses out there. We also gave birth to two Martial Goddesses.
“Who are you to insult my An Clan?!”
The woman in a blood-red skirt’s expression remained indifferent as she asked, “Two Martial Goddesses? Are they that great?”
The statement was so astounding that An Ya’s eyes turned bloodshot. She looked like she had lost her mind as she cried out. “What a joke! How dare a mere swordsman spout such nonsense!”
“Call them,” said the woman in a blood-red skirt. Moments later, she added, “Call your two Martial Goddesses here.”
“How preposterous!” A roar echoed from the distant horizon. An Ya turned and was overjoyed to see a middle-aged man appear on the horizon. “An—”
The middle-aged man’s head abruptly flew into the air while his headless body was sent flying away.
The onlookers’ stupefaction turned into fear as they quivered ever so slightly.
An Ya turned to the woman in a blood-red skirt and stammered, “Y-y-ou…”
She truly didn’t know what to say.
The woman in a blood-red skirt had just killed one of their powerhouses in an instant!
Just who in the world was she?
The woman in a blood-red skirt turned to look at Ye Guan.
Ye Guan looked calm, but his heart was madly beating against his chest.
A Sword Sovereign? Ye Guan couldn’t help but think that Master Pagoda had lied to him.
Ye Guan stared at the woman in a blood-red skirt and muttered, “Aunt…”
Hearing that, a tinge of emotion finally appeared in the woman in a blood-red skirt’s eyes. She stared at Ye Guan, and the image of a certain man appeared in her mind.
Her eyes shone in a gentle light as she ruffled Ye Guan’s hair.
“Point out who you want to die, and they’ll die,” she said.
Ye Guan was stunned.
“How absurd!” The young man from the Ancient Heavenly Dragon Clan stepped forward and glared at the woman in a blood-red skirt before shouting, “You’re just a Great Sword Sovereign! How dare you be so overbearing!”
The young man took out a dragon’s scale and infused his profound energy into it.
The furious roar of a dragon echoed, and it seemed to have come from the depths of the universe. The young man had also decided to summon someone. An Ancient Heavenly Dragon rushed for the Zhongtu Divine Continent.
The woman in a blood-red skirt looked up, and her gaze landed on the Ancient Heavenly Dragon.
Roaaaar!
The Ancient Heavenly Dragon let out a miserable cry as its head was inexplicably torn off of its shoulders. It died in an instant, and its carcass was left floating about in the vast expanse of the universe.
The young man from the Ancient Heavenly Dragon Clan smirked and jeered, “My ancestor will be here soon. Stay here and wait for your death.”
The woman in a blood-red skirt calmly responded, “Is that so?”
“You’re not the only one who’s going to die today!” the young man shouted, “Ye Guan will die as well—no, your entire clan will die with you!”
A Great Sword Sovereign? The Ancient Heavenly Dragon Clan wasn’t scared of them at all. Why would they be afraid of a rogue Great Sword Sovereign?
They were living in a new era where connections and background mattered more than individual strength.
The young man was initially afraid of the woman in a blood-red skirt, but An Ya revealed that the woman in a blood-red skirt was most likely a rogue cultivator, vanquishing his fears.
There was no way he would take a rogue cultivator seriously.
The woman in a blood-red skirt nodded at the young man’s words and asked, “Where do you live?”
