Chapter 163: It’s Useless Even If the Sword Master Is Summoned
The elders of Time Paradise were stunned. They could tell that both the Second Elder and the Grand Elder knew something, which was the reason behind the sudden and drastic change in their attitudes.
The Second Elder and the Grand Elder were both cautious and meticulous individuals, so how come they had suddenly gone mad? They were truly acting as if they had gone mad! The Second Elder and Grand Elder seemed to be boiling with so much excitement that they looked like dogs being fed with bones.
It was an incredibly strange and perplexing scene.
However, the Second Elder didn’t tell others about Ye Guan’s identity. He knew that it was better to keep it a secret.
The Sword Master probably had his own reasons to let Ye Guan grow on his own.
It wasn’t the Second Elder’s place to reveal such a fact.
A thought jumped into both the Second Elder's and the Grand Elder’s minds. They looked at Nanli Yin simultaneously and used their profound energy to communicate that they had decided to support her decision.
Time Paradise would live and die with Ye Guan.
Meanwhile, Nanli Yin remained silent. She was actually quite worried.
After all, they were standing against the Immortal Treasures Pavilion and the Guanxuan Academy, not to mention the aristocratic faction and the great clan factions. Time Paradise couldn’t stand its ground against all of them, but she still decided to gamble using the entire Time Paradise as a stake.
The higher the risk, the higher the reward. Let’s give it a shot!
Ye Guan was silent, but he was feeling slightly embarrassed by the treatment that Time Paradise had bestowed upon him.
He had always been someone who wouldn’t implicate others if he could help it.
The entire Nanli Clan had mobilized to escort him, and they were even willing to offend both the Immortal Treasures Pavilion and the Guanxuan Academy for his sake.
Ye Guan was truly moved.
Regardless of their real motives, they still decided to see the matter to the end next to Ye Guan. With that in mind, Ye Guan swore to repay them in the future. In fact, he was grateful to everyone who helped him thus far, and he vowed to repay them all.
Boom!
The space ahead of them abruptly shattered like glass, startling everyone.
A cold glint flashed through Nanli Yin’s eyes, and she quickly waved her sleeve. A powerful aura enveloped the crowd and dragged them somewhere in the starry skies. Everyone’s expressions fell upon realizing what was happening.
A large group of powerhouses clad in golden armor were ahead of them, and they numbered roughly ten thousand! They were the Immortal Soldiers of Immortal Treasures Pavilion.
Every Immortal Soldier was clad in a golden armor made from a special material.
Strange carvings lined the armor as it shone in the same golden hue as its surface. The armors were Immortal-grade armors!
They were also holding golden spears, and the spears were Immortal-grade weapons as well.
They were clad in Immortal-grade items from top to bottom, and their outfit showed a glimpse of the abyss that was the Immortal Treasures Pavilion’s pockets
There were also mysterious powerhouses clad in dark armor, and they stood in front of the Immortal Soldiers.
They were the Dao Soldiers of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion! It seemed that the Immortal Treasures Pavilion was truly going all out this time by mobilizing even their Dao Soldiers for battle.
The commander of the soldiers was an old man dressed in a luxurious-looking robe. He had a head full of white hair, and his hands were behind his back as he stared at the Nanli Clan with a cold light in his eyes.
Nanli Yin’s expression turned solemn.
The old man was the commander of the Immortal Soldiers, Siao Daoren.
The morale of Time Paradise plummeted. The Immortal Treasures Pavilion had mobilized not only ten thousand Immortal Soldiers, but they had also mobilized their Dao Soldiers.
However, the Grand Elder and the Second Elder remained fearless. Hah! We’re not afraid, even if you come to us with a million soldiers!
Siao Daoren looked at Nanli Yin and said, “Paradise Master Nanli, the Immortal Treasures Pavilion is truly appalled by your choice. We couldn’t have expected that you would mobilize your entire clan to help the criminal we are chasing.”
Nanli Yin chuckled and said, “Commander Siao, I did not expect that the Immortal Treasures Pavilion would openly support the Chosen One.
”I am also appalled to see the Immortal Treasures Pavilion resorting to such an extreme measure against a young man.”
Nanli Yin paused to shake her head before saying, “Pavilion Master Qin established the Immortal Treasures Pavilion for the sake of achieving universal peace.
”Everyone admires and respects the Immortal Treasures Pavilion, but to think that its people would tarnish the reputation of Pavilion Master Qin’s legacy.”
Siao Daoren scoffed and said, “Are you trying to tell us what to do?”
Nanli Yin smiled. “I wouldn’t dare.”
Siao Daoren calmly said, “I know that the ancestor of the Nanli Clan is an extraordinary individual. I’m sure she’s the reason you’ve decided to act so brazenly.
“Why don’t you call upon your ancestor? I want to see if she’s stronger than the Immortal Treasures Pavilion.”
A background comparison? Why would the Immortal Treasures Pavilion be afraid of anyone? Not even the An Clan could compare to the Immortal Treasures Pavilion in terms of backing.
Qin Guan was the Pavilion Master of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion, but she also had another identity—she was the lady of the Guanxuan Academy!
Nanli Yin glared at Siao Daoren. She balled her right hand into a fist. At this point, Time Paradise couldn’t protect Ye Guan anymore. The Immortal Treasures Pavilion would only stop chasing after Ye Guan once he was in the Sword Sect.
The Sword Sect! Nanli Yin’s eyes shone briefly in worry. Why isn’t Cao Bai here yet?
Time Paradise had zero chance of winning if they were to truly fight the Immortal Treasures Pavilion.
“Senior.” Ye Guan stepped forward and said, “I’m sorry for the trouble.”
“What are you talking about?” said the Grand Elder before Nanli Yin could say anything. “Young Lord Ye, you don’t have to stand on ceremony here. You’re the friend of our clan, and since you’re our friend, you’re one of us. You didn’t cause us any trouble at all! You’re one of us, after all!”
“That’s right!” The Second Elder chimed in and said, “Young Lord Ye, don’t worry. It doesn’t matter even if the members of the Nanli Clan perish on the journey, we’ll definitely make sure that you’ll reach the Sword Sect.”
The powerhouses of Time Paradise stared agape at the Second Elder and the Grand Elder. Goodness, since when did they become so dramatic and sentimental?! Can someone tell us what’s going on?!
“Thank you…” Ye Guan said, “I really appreciate your help.”
The two elders grinned at Ye Guan’s words.
Just then, Siao Daoren snickered and said, “It seems that Time Paradise is dead set on becoming our enemy. In that case, I hereby declare war between the Immortal Treasures Pavilion and Time Paradise! Soldiers, march!”
March! The Immortal Soldiers behind him stirred and started moving.
Rumble!
A deep rumble echoed as the space was torn open. A few thousand people rushed out of the rift in space.
Zhang Yuntian stood at the helm, and the elites of the Lingxu Blessed Land stood behind him.
Zhang Yuntian heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing that Ye Guan was uninjured.
Ye Guan hadn’t activated the command token.
It was a good thing that Zhang Yuntian had sent a few men to follow Ye Guan in the shadows, afraid that the Immortal Treasures Pavilion would find trouble with Ye Guan.
Zhang Yuntian knew that Ye Guan was in trouble upon hearing of the news that the Immortal Treasures Pavilion had mobilized their Immortal Soldiers. He decisively summoned the powerhouses of Lingxu's Blessed Land.
The Immortal Treasures Pavilion? Pfft. He had complete trust in his ancestor, so he was going to support Ye Guan all the way.
The arrival of the Lingxu Blessed Land shocked everyone. Siao Daoren’s expression darkened. He glared at Zhang Yuntian and asked, “What? Is the Lingxu Blessed Land going to wage war on the Immortal Treasures Pavilion as well?”
Zhang Yuntian said with a straight face, “The Lingxu Blessed Land has no intentions of becoming your enemy, but whoever attacks Young Lord Ye will be our foe. We’ll take this stance even if you call upon your big boss.”
The Grand Elder and Second Elder exchanged looks and nodded in understanding.
The Zhang Family clearly knew about Ye Guan’s identity! The Grand Elder and the Second Elder became even more confident in their own stance upon seeing the stance that the Lingxu Blessed Land had taken.
The Grand Elder stepped forward and said, “Time Paradise also has no intentions of becoming the Immortal Treasures Pavilion’s enemy, but those daring enough to attack Young Lord Ye will become our Time Paradise’s enemy.
”It’s useless, even if the Sword Master is summoned!”
Everyone stared in stupefaction at the Grand Elder.
Even the Grand Elder himself was shocked by his own words. What did I just say?
The Second Elder chided him, “Grand Elder, that was too much! What were you thinking?”
The Grand Elder chuckled awkwardly and replied, “I got too excited and must have lost my mind briefly.”
The Second Elder was at a loss for words.
Siao Daoren burst out laughing. “Good! Very good! You’ve done it this time, Lingxu Blessed Land and Time Paradise! Since you want to help Ye Guan, you can all die with him, then!”
He took out a transmission talisman and crushed it.
Boom!
The transmission talisman turned into a ray of light that streaked across the starry skies.
He had decided to summon more people!
“Clan Leader Zhang!” Nanli Yin called out and said, “Let’s work together and buy time for Young Lord Ye until he gets to the Sword Sect!”
Zhang Yuntian nodded. “Sure!”
He glared at the Immortal Soldiers and yelled, “Kill them!”
The powerhouses of the Lingxu Blessed Land charged forward.
“Charge!” Nanli Yin roared.
The Grand Elder and the Second Elder rushed toward the enemies before anyone else. The powerhouses of Time Paradise followed closely behind them. They still had no idea of what was going on, but they knew that they just had to do their best in the meantime.
Ye Guan was about to attack, but Nanli Yin grabbed his arm and stopped him.
She stared intently at him and said, “I know you can fly on your sword. Go to the Sword Sect. They’re the only ones capable of restraining the Immortal Treasures Pavilion and the Guanxuan Academy.
”You’re smart, so you should know that there’s no point in you staying here.”
Ye Guan muttered. “Senior…”
Nanli Yin shook her head. “Don’t worry about us, they can’t kill us all. Just hurry up and leave!”
Rumble!
The space was torn open once more as another massive rift opened in the distance.
Ten thousand soldiers clad in dark armor emerged from the rift and jumped into the fray. They were all Dao Soldiers, and there were ten thousand of them. To make matters worse, a hundred thousand soldiers clad in golden armor stood behind them.
A hundred thousand Immortal Soldiers, along with ten thousand Dao Soldiers, had arrived to reinforce the Immortal Treasures Pavilion!
The powerhouses of both Time Paradise and Lingxu Blessed Land despaired at the terrifying sight.
Siao Daoren roared, “Kill! Kill them all!”
The Dao Soldiers and the Immortal Soldiers rushed toward the powerhouses of Time Paradise and Lingxu Blessed Land.
The scales of the battle sharply tipped to one side, and the casualties from Time Paradise and Lingxu Blessed Land’s side quickly piled up. The difference in strength was too great, and a one-sided massacre was unfolding.
Shrieeek!
A shrill noise belonging to swords piercing space itself reverberated throughout the battlefield.
“Who dares to attack Ye Guan?!” someone roared.
Siao Daoren whipped around and saw thirteen oncoming sword lights.
His pupils constricted at the sight. The sword lights belonged to three Sword Sovereigns and ten Great Sword Immortals.
The Sword Sect was here!
