Chapter 133: Tell Her to Come Out
It was an understatement to say that everyone was shocked. They truly didn’t expect Ye Guan to perform a feint.
The powerhouses of Qingzhou’s Guanxuan Academy had surrounded Mu Youyou to protect her, so no one was around to stop Ye Guan from entering Qingzhou’s Guanxuan Academy.
Academy Chief Lu Xuan was heavily injured, so he couldn’t stop Ye Guan at all.
Everyone could only watch as Ye Guan got closer and closer to the summit of Mount Canglan. It looked like it was only a matter of time before Ye Guan reached the summit, but a terrifying power suddenly pressed down from above.
Boom!
Ye Guan plummeted back to the square, destroying the bluestone-paved ground and sending debris flying everywhere.
Everyone looked up and saw an old man high up in the sky. He was wearing a black robe, and there was a massive word emblazoned on the left chest area of his robe—Disciplinarian!
The Discipline Department was here!
Lu Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.
If they had arrived even a beat later, Ye Guan would have reached the summit.
Lu Xuan’s plan was to intimidate Ye Guan first with the forces of Qingzhou’s Guanxuan Academy, but in the event that it failed, he decided never to send the Academy’s Divine Tribulation Realm cultivators after Ye Guan.
After all, Divine Tribulation Realm talents were incredibly difficult to nurture, and the death of even a single Divine Tribulation Realm cultivator would be a huge loss to the academy.
He decided to send Mu Youyou out to stall for time until the Discipline Department arrived. Fortunately, his plan worked, and the Discipline Department was finally here, revitalizing the Academy.
Lu Xuan glanced at the cultivators of Qingzhou’s Guanxuan Academy.
They nodded and retreated slightly.
Meanwhile, Ye Guan wiped off the blood trickling down his lips.
He consumed another spiritual pill.
The Disciplinarian approached Ye Guan, and his presence alone was terrifying. In fact, the powerful aura he was emitting made even space quiver like ripples in water.
It was a terrifying sight.
The Disciplinarian was definitely above the Seal Shattering Realm! Ye Guan fell silent upon estimating the Disciplinarian’s cultivation base in his heart.
Rumble!
A rift in space split open, and ten mysterious-looking cultivators clad in black robes emerged from the rift.
They were the Discipline Department Guards!
Qingzhou’s talents fearfully retreated to the sidelines upon seeing the guards.
The Discipline Department Guards of every Guanxuan Academy branch had always been a source of fear for everyone, and it was all because their raison d’etre was to enforce the Guanxuan Law.
The Disciplinarian spoke, “You’re the very first person to have killed an enforcer from the Discipline Department throughout the Zhongtu Divine Continent.”
Ye Guan remained silent. The spiritual pill that he had consumed just now was still circulating within him. He could wait just a bit longer before making a move.
The Disciplinarian—the old man’s gaze landed on the Path Sword and said, “You possess a very special sword. You’re extremely powerful, and I’m sure the reason behind your prowess will explain how you got that sword as well, am I right?”
Ye Guan inwardly asked, “Master Pagoda, why can’t he recognize the Path Sword? Isn’t he from the Main Guanxuan Academy?”
Little Pagoda replied, “The people familiar with the Path Sword can be categorized into two categories.”
“What do you mean?” Ye Guan asked, full of curiosity.
Little Pagoda calmly replied, “They were either working with your father, or they’re already dead.”
Ye Guan was taken aback. “Dead?”
“Yes. It’s not strange that no one recognizes this sword. After all, those whose eyes had laid upon this sword thirty million years ago had already perished.”
Ye Guan nodded slightly. He looked up at the old man and opened his palm, sending the Trial Towers King Badge toward the latter.
The old man frowned upon seeing the badge.
Ye Guan stared silently at the old man.
He needed a bit more time to completely absorb the spiritual pill.
The old man shook his head and said, “You have received Sword Sovereign Ye Yu’s favor, but it doesn’t mean that you’ll go scot-free after killing a member of the Discipline Department!”
The old man took a step forward, and the space in front of Ye Guan tore open.
The old man had realized that Ye Guan was stalling for time.
Ye Guan’s eyes narrowed, but he decisively thrust his sword and shattered the spacetime rules. The old man’s cultivation base was above the Seal Shattering Realm, and Ye Guan didn’t dare to be negligent against such a powerful monster.
Shwik!
Ye Guan’s sword pierced the space in front of it, but a pitch-black hand reached out and grabbed the Path Sword!
Sizzle!
The pitch-black hand melted into nothingness upon touching the Path Sword.
The old man’s face changed. His figure flashed as he retreated, but Ye Guan’s sword was even faster than him. Ye Guan reappeared in front of the old man in the blink of an eye.
Fear and alarm grew in the old man’s heart upon witnessing Ye Guan’s speed. He put his hands together, and a flame abruptly erupted and enveloped him.
Slice!
Ye Guan’s sword sliced the flame apart, but the old man was already hundreds of meters away.
Of course, Ye Guan wasn’t done just yet.
The moment the old man reappeared, Ye Guan slashed out with his Path Sword.
Royal Sword Art!
A sword light flew as fast as lightning toward the old man.
The old man had nowhere to hide, and he roared in fury upon realizing that.
However, it wasn’t just a roar of fury. A fireball manifested in front of his open mouth, and it made a beeline for the Path Sword.
Unfortunately, the beam of fire crumbled beneath the Path Sword, and the old man hadn’t even comprehended the scene that had unfolded in front of him when the Path Sword pierced his throat.
Squelch!
Fresh blood gushed out of his throat.
Everyone froze.
He’s dead, just like that?
The onlookers were horrified.
Ye Guan was oblivious to their feelings as he reappeared in front of the old man.
The old man was about to say something, but Ye Guan gripped his Path Sword with his right hand and grabbed the old man’s head with his left before slashing out.
Slice!
The old man died a gruesome death.
There was so much blood that the air vaguely tasted like rust.
The onlookers stared with wide eyes at Ye Guan with their jaws on the floor.
Ye Guan didn’t let go of the Disciplinarian’s head as he turned around and swept his gaze coldly at the Discipline Department Guards.
“Who’s next?” he challenged.
The faces of the Discipline Department Guards turned ugly, but their eyes were filled with fear.
Our leader is dead! How did he kill our leader so easily?
T-this is absurd! Is he really just a Space Annihilation Realm cultivator?
Mu Youyou wordlessly stared at Ye Guan.
Lu Xuan saw that and said, “Brat, don’t you dare make a move.”
“I know.” Mu Youyou nodded. She was aware that she was far from Ye Guan’s match after witnessing the deaths of two Seal Shattering Cultivators. Those powerhouses had failed to block Ye Guan’s sword, so how could she even hope to do so?
Mu Youyou turned to Lu Xuan and said, “Academy Chief, why are we dead set against letting him lodge an Imperial Appeal to the Sword Master?”
Lu Xuan calmly replied, “The higher-ups are afraid of the possible consequences if the Sword Master appeared.”
Mu Youyou stared deeply at Lu Xuan and asked, “Does that mean the Academy had truly been bullying him?”
Mu Youyou was unaware of the specifics, as she was only focused on becoming even stronger. In fact, if it hadn’t been for Lu Xuan’s personally inviting her to help them stop Ye Guan, she wouldn’t have come out of seclusion.
Lu Xuan looked down and sighed before nodding. Everyone was aware of the ins and outs of what had transpired between Ye Guan and the An Clan, but no one dared to speak up for Ye Guan.
No, someone was daring enough to speak up, but she ended up getting dismissed from her position as the Representative of the Department of Arts and was currently under house arrest.
Who would dare to speak up after seeing what happened to Ye Guanzhi?
“I wouldn’t have come here to stop him if you had told me the truth earlier,” said Mu Youyou. She shook her head and turned around to leave with her zither.
Lu Xuan hesitated, but he chose not to say anything.
In the end, he could only let out a deep sigh.
Mu Youyou abruptly stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Ye Guan. She ran her fingers gently across the zither, and a beam of green light flew toward Ye Guan.
Ye Guan frowned. He was about to make a move, but Mu Youyou shouted, “Young Lord Ye, it’s a healing spell!”
Ye Guan was stunned.
He allowed the green light to hit him, and it sent waves of warmth throughout him.
It was indeed a healing spell.
Ye Guan threw Mu Youyou a bewildered look.
However, Mu Youyou remained silent as she turned around and finally left with her zither.
Lu Xuan didn’t stop her from leaving; all he did was sigh to himself.
Ye Guan could feel his injuries healing at an alarming rate. He was suspicious about why Mu Youyou had decided to help him, but he wasted no time. He charged toward the summit of Mount Canglan with the Path Sword.
The Discipline Department Guards didn’t dare to stop him, but they had already informed the Main Guanxuan Academy that they could no longer handle the ongoing situation.
The young man was simply too strong for them to handle!
Ye Guan soared to the skies and was about to reach the peak of Mount Canglan, but the space in front of him was abruptly torn open. A thousand-meter-long palm emerged from the rift in space and pressed down ruthlessly on Ye Guan.
Rumble!
The palm emitted a terrifying pressure reminiscent of thousands of mountains pressing down on the ground at once. The onlookers’ expressions changed, and they scrambled to escape.
The onlookers were terrified. They felt like heaven itself was collapsing upon them.
Ye Guan’s face abruptly changed, but it was too late for him to retreat. He decided to go even faster with the Path Sword in hand.
He thrust the Path Sword toward the palm.
Boom!
His sword pierced a gaping hole in the massive palm, but Ye Guan’s face went beyond pallid, and he started plummeting to the ground.
Boom!
The remaining bluestone on the square shattered into powder the moment Ye Guan struck the square.
Ye Guan coughed a mouthful of blood, but he gripped the Path Sword tightly and stabbed it into the ground. As he propped himself up with the Path Sword, he could feel that he had broken many bones in his body.
He stared at the Path Sword and let out a laugh out of self-mockery.
The Path Sword was invincible, but he was too weak to display the full extent of its power.
I’m too weak! He wiped the blood trickling down his lips and saw a middle-aged man not too far away from him.
“It’s An Wujun!” an onlooker cried out. “He’s one of the commanders of the Guanxuan Academy Military! Wow, he actually came down in person!”
Rumble!
A loud noise echoed as a massive rift in space appeared above Ye Guan. Moments later, over a hundred figures emerged from the rift in a neat line, and they were all Seal Shattering Realm cultivators!
The onlookers were stupefied.
An Wujun glared at Ye Guan and challenged, “You have a backer, right? Tell her to come out now!”
