Chapter 150: Your Grandfather Loved To Kill
No one thought that Ye Guan would make a move, and everyone was stupefied upon realizing that Ye Guan had managed to inflict a critical wound on the white-robed old man in just a single sword move.
The white-robed old man didn’t dare to move, afraid that Ye Guan would finish the job. The elites behind him still couldn’t recover from the shock. Was Ye Guan really just a Space Annihilation Realm cultivator?
The Tower Keeper was dumbstruck as well.
A thought jumped into his mind, and he inhaled sharply.
Oh my goodness! I actually forgot! Ye Guan had just emerged from the God-rank Trial. The fact that he managed to come out so quickly meant that Ye Guan had managed to pass the God-rank Trial.
However, the Tower Keeper shuddered at the thought. Absurd! This is too absurd!
The white-robed old man struggled to speak. “Y-Young Lord Ye, there is no grudge between you and the Immortal Treasures Pavilion.”
At this point, he didn’t dare to threaten Ye Guan.
He would be a fool to threaten Ye Guan, considering his life was in Ye Guan’s hands.
Ye Guan was daring enough to kill the An Clan and the Ancient Heavenly Dragon Clan members. He had also challenged the Chosen One, so how could he be afraid of killing a mere servant of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion?
“Give me a reason not to kill you,” said Ye Guan as he stared at the white-robed old man. “I hope you’ll satisfy me.”
The white-robed old man hurriedly gave his storage ring to Ye Guan. He turned to look at the elites behind him and said, “Give your storage rings to him.”
His underlings hesitated slightly, but they eventually surrendered their storage rings.
Ye Guan calmly pointed out. “I just have to kill you all, and all these will still be mine.”
The white-robed old man thought for a while and then said, “Young Lord Ye, you’ll end up bringing more trouble for yourself by killing us. The Immortal Treasures Pavilion values its reputation, after all.
”You have been blacklisted, and if you kill us on top of that, the Immortal Treasures Pavilion will definitely chase you to the ends of the world.
”I’m sure you have many things to do, and I’m sure you don’t want to make an enemy out of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion.” “I made sure to hide any traces of mine when I decided to come here, but the Immortal Treasures Pavilion still managed to discover me.” Ye Guan gazed deeply at the white-robed old man and said, “Doesn’t that mean that the Immortal Treasures Pavilion has been keeping tabs on me all this while?
”I have nothing against you, and there’s only one reason you’re keeping tabs on me. It’s all because the Immortal Treasures Pavilion has already invested in the Chosen One, right?”
The white-robed old man’s expression fell, and he stammered, “Y-You…”
Ye Guan was right. The Immortal Treasures Pavilion had decided to stand on the Chosen One’s side. However, the white-robed old man didn’t expect that Ye Guan already knew that much.
“You’re not here to capture me.” Ye Guan continued, “You’re here to test my true strength, right?”
The white-robed old man’s pupils constricted, and his jaw dropped. “Y-You…”
Ye Guan’s eyes remained transfixed on the white-robed old man as he asked, “I was just guessing. Were my guesses right?”
The white-robed old man was overwhelmed by shock, and his voice trembled as he muttered, “Young Lord Ye, you—”
Ye Guan interrupted and said, “You couldn’t control your greed, so you demanded my equipment. Actually, it’s for the best if you die. That way, you won’t be able to report my true strength.”
The white-robed old man hurriedly begged, “Young Lord Ye, don’t do this. You’re burning bridges here! You’ll go past the road of no return.”
Ye Guan calmly responded, “So what if I burn bridges? One day, I’ll plunder the Immortal Treasures Pavilion.”
Slice!
Ye Guan slashed, and a fountain of blood erupted as the white-robed old man’s head flew into the air. The elites in black robes were startled, and the thought of escaping had barely crossed their minds when Ye Guan vanished.
Slash!
Ten heads flew into the air at once. The elites died before they could even move.
Goosebumps broke out all over the Tower Keeper.
Ye Guan examined his spoils and found a total of thirty million gold spiritual crystals. He now had one hundred and thirty million gold spiritual crystals.
It was indeed a big haul, and he had profited greatly this time.
The Tower Keeper’s voice trembled as he spoke, “You didn’t have to kill them, Young Lord Ye.”
Ye Guan shook his head and said, “If I hadn’t killed them, they would have reported me to the main branch, which means trouble will come sooner for me. The white-robed old man was smart, but he was clearly a scheming individual.
”If I hadn’t killed him, he would have backstabbed me in the future.”
“You’re now a wanted criminal of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion,” said the Tower Keeper.
Ye Guan remained calm as he said, “They’ll come after me, but they won’t send a true powerhouse.”
The Tower Keeper was confused. “Why not?”
Ye Guan smiled and explained, “What do you think is the reason they decided to stand on the Chosen One’s side? Surely you don’t think it’s money, right?”
The Tower Keeper shook his head. “It’s definitely not for the sake of money.”
Ye Guan nodded and pointed out. “It’s something bigger and greater than that. I assume they want to help the Chosen One rise to a higher position.”
The Academy Master seat!
The Tower Keeper was stunned, and he stammered, “T-That’s…”
Ye Guan’s smile remained on his lips as he added, “What do you think the Chosen One lacks? It’s fame! His fame is guaranteed to soar if he manages to kill me in our battle in two months.
”In other words, the Immortal Treasures Pavilion will definitely not send someone strong enough to kill me. At most, they’ll just tell everyone that I’m on their wanted list.”
The Tower Keeper hesitated for a while before he asked, “Young Lord Ye, are you confident in killing him?”
Ye Guan shook his head. “No.”
The Tower Keeper was taken aback.
However, Ye Guan continued. “Surely I’m not the only one who has been cultivating all this while. He’s also enjoying the resources of the Main Guanxuan Academy and the Immortal Treasures Pavilion. How can I possibly be confident against him?”
“I don’t want to look arrogant by saying that I’m fully confident in killing him, but I’m ninety percent confident.”
The fuck? The Tower Keeper was completely stunned. Your roundabout way of saying things is scaring me.
“Senior,” Ye Guan said, “I’m leaving.”
The Tower Keeper asked, “Where are you going?”
Ye Guan calmly replied, “I’m going to the Main Guanxuan Academy.”
The Tower Keeper asked, “Isn’t the challenge in two months?”
Ye Guan shook his head and explained, “Two months is too long. I can’t afford to wait that long, so I’m going right now.”
Ye Guan cupped his fist and said, “Senior, please take care. If the Academy tries to find fault with you, throw all the blame on me. I’m going to the Guanxuan Universe. If I survive, I’ll repay your kindness in the future. Farewell.”
The Tower Keeper hesitated for a bit before he said, “If you’re going to the Guanxuan Universe, use the Teleportation Area of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion. A word of caution. You’re blacklisted, so the Immortal Treasures Pavilion will not willingly activate the teleportation array for you.
”Unfortunately, it’s the only way for you to reach the Guanxuan Universe. It’s not a distance a space ship can quickly traverse.”
“I guess I have to use the teleportation array, then,” said Ye Guan with a nod. “I’ll go to the nearest Immortal Treasures Pavilion. Goodbye, Senior!”
Ye Guan hopped onto his sword and disappeared into the horizon.
The Tower Keeper stood rooted and stared at the horizon for quite a while before muttering, “I need a drink to get through this chaos.”
The Tower Keeper shook his head and laughed. Actually, he was feeling great. He had confirmed that Ye Guan was indeed a heaven-defying talent.
Ye Guan was at a huge disadvantage compared to the Chosen One, but the Tower Keeper believed that Ye Guan had a chance of winning. He had a feeling that Ye Guan had a superior background as well and that his ancestors had to be heaven-defying talents, too.
The Tower Keeper simply had no idea just how exceptional Ye Guan’s ancestors were. Regardless, he had done Ye Guan a huge favor, so he would truly reap a ton of profit once Ye Guan repaid him.
However, the Tower Keeper didn’t really mind if Ye Guan couldn’t repay him.
The Tower Keeper was just a guard. He could scheme his way for a few bucks, but he had to risk his life if he wanted to change his destiny.
...
Ye Guan headed straight to the largest Immortal Treasure Pavilion branch on the Zhongtu Divine Continent. He didn’t bother visiting Mo Ya as he didn’t want to trouble her.
However, Ye Guan frowned upon arriving.
The entire place was empty and devoid of people.
What’s going on? Many questions popped up in Ye Guan’s mind.
Just then, a middle-aged man appeared not too far away from him.
The man smiled and asked, “Are you perhaps Young Lord Ye?”
Ye Guan glanced at the man and asked, “Who are you?”
The man cupped his fist and said, “I’m the manager of this Immortal Treasures Pavilion branch.”
Ye Guan went silent.
The man asked, “Are you here for the teleportation array?”
Ye Guan nodded.
The man pointed to his right.
“The teleportation array is in that direction. You may use it as you please,” said the man.
Ye Guan gazed deeply at the man.
Eventually, he hopped onto his flying sword and flew to the right.
Left all alone, the man sighed.
He knew that Ye Guan was headed for the Immortal Treasures Pavilion branch that he was managing because the entire Zhongtu Divine Continent was keeping tabs on Ye Guan. He ordered everyone to leave upon hearing of the news, afraid that a conflict would arise.
Ye Guan was stronger than anyone had predicted, and there were only a few people capable of standing toe-to-toe against Ye Guan throughout the Zhongtu Divine Continent.
There would have been a high chance that Ye Guan would annihilate everyone from this Immortal Treasures Pavilion branch if the man had decided to stand his ground against Ye Guan.
The best option was to let Ye Guan leave.
Since Ye Guan wasn’t here to kill people, it was better to let him leave peacefully.
...
The Teleportation Area was deserted, and there was no one except for Ye Guan there. The powerhouses of this Immortal Treasures Pavilion branch had definitely received orders to leave.
Ye Guan looked around for quite a while before he found the teleportation array connected to a node in the Guanxuan Universe. He walked into it and activated it.
A blue light enveloped him before whisking him away.
Ye Guan closed his eyes and sat cross-legged in the spacetime tunnel.
Little Pagoda suddenly asked, “Are you sure about this?”
Ye Guan nodded.
Little Pagoda asked, “Why are you in a rush?”
Ye Guan explained, “I have to go there to revive Little Jia.”
He opened his palm, and the Path Sword appeared in his hand.
He gently traced the Path Sword’s outline with his finger.
Little Pagoda asked, “Are you confident in defeating the Chosen One?”
Ye Guan calmly answered, “It doesn’t matter. He had declared that there can only be one of us in this world, so I will have to get rid of him. I don’t deliberately bully others, but if someone bullies me, I’ll teach them a lesson and take their storage ring away.”
Little Pagoda was speechless.
Ye Guan would always take his opponent’s storage ring away.
Your grandfather loved to kill, your father loved women, and you… you love money.
Little Pagoda truly had no idea what to say.
Ye Guan continued. “I assume the Chosen One wants to become the new Academy Master of the Guanxuan Academy, and he has many supporters. He’s my enemy on the surface, but my true enemies are the aristocratic faction and the great clan faction.”
“What are you planning to do?” asked Little Pagoda.
Ye Guan’s gaze turned deep as he asked, “Master Pagoda, do you think I can become the Guanxuan Academy’s Academy Master?”
Little Pagoda jumped in fright.
The mysterious voice muttered, “Little Pagoda, do you think he figured something out?”
