Chapter 195: Shocking Turn of Events
Greetings, Young Master?!
Everyone looked as if their souls had left their bodies. Lu Tian’s supporters froze as if wintry winds had struck them along with lightning on a clear day.
Young Master? Ye Guan is the Young Master?
Even Ye Guan’s supporters were stupefied at the revelation, and it seemed like the world itself had fallen silent.
Ye Guan swept his gaze across the two ladies kneeling in front of him and said calmly, “Please rise.”
“Fuck!” Little Pagoda unknowingly cursed. He stammered, “Y-y-you knew it all along?”
Princess Xin and Empress Yue were slightly stunned.
Young Master knows his true identity? Did Master Pagoda tell him?
The mysterious voice in the tiny pagoda was surprised as well. After all, they had never told Ye Guan his true identity.
Little Pagoda was confused. “How did you know?”
Ye Guan calmly said, “The Sword Master felt really familiar to me for some reason, and it was a type of familiarity I never felt before. He was also really happy when I told him my goals.
“His joy was born from a sense of pride and gratification.”
Ye Guan paused briefly before saying, “The ancestors of both the Lingxu Blessed Land and Time Paradise even chose to support me despite knowing that I was about to fight the Chosen One. They didn’t hesitate at all.
“I’m not naive enough to think that they did that because they appreciated my talent. In addition, you never really panicked despite my opponents’ identities, Master Pagoda. When the Chosen One became my opponent, you still weren’t worried, so it wasn’t that difficult to deduce the reason behind your calmness.”
Little Pagoda went silent.
Ye Guan chuckled and said, “I was suspicious, but I didn’t dare to think too much about it.”
“Why?” Little Pagoda asked.
Ye Guan said, “Because there were some things I couldn’t quite understand….”
Little Pagoda asked, “Like what?”
Ye Guan replied, “For example, the Sword Master is old—like thirty million years old at the very least. However, I’m clearly not even a hundred years old, so when was I born? Of course, I was born not too long ago, but it has been thirty million years since the Sword Master appeared in the Guanxuan Universe!”
Little Pagoda was silent.
Ye Guan asked, “Master Pagoda, are you not going to answer me?”
Little Pagoda replied softly, “I think it’s better if your father explains it to you himself.”
“All right.” Ye Guan nodded slightly and turned to look at the two women. “Seniors, should I listen to your orders, or should I make my own decisions?”
Princess Xin chuckled and said, “We’ll listen to your orders. Please rest assured, we’re not daring enough to stage a rebellion.”
The Guanxuan Universe could only belong to the Yang Family. Otherwise, its existence was unnecessary.
Princess Xin knew that better than anyone else.
Ye Guan nodded and turned to look at Lu Tian. Lu Tian looked like his soul had left his body as he stammered, “H-H-How could this be?! I’m the Chosen One here!”
Lu Tian’s supporters went beyond pallid as fear filled their eyes.
Ye Guan is the Young Master?!
The reality settled in, and Lu Tian’s supporters were paralyzed by fear. They were well aware that their families and clans could be annihilated, as they had ended up supporting the wrong person.
Grand Elder Ge of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion stared coldly at Ye Guan.
Ye Guan’s true identity truly scared him out of his wits.
It turned out that he had supported the wrong person.
Grand Elder Ge knew that he was doomed. Perhaps the other elders would survive this ordeal, but he would definitely die. Grand Elder Ge’s mind was inundated with fear, but he quickly regained his composure.
He could still live.
There was still a way out of this—he had to kill Ye Guan.
What if he turned around and escaped? It would be futile. He was very much aware of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion’s might. There was no way he could escape from their clutches.
In other words, Grand Elder Ge had no choice but to fight for his life!
With that in mind, Grand Elder Ge pointed at Ye Guan and roared, “It’s a lie!”
Everyone’s eyes landed on him.
Grand Elder Ge glared at Ye Guan and explained, “Lu Tian has the Mad Demon Bloodline, so he’s obviously the true Young Master. Ye Guan is just a puppet of the Gu Clan and the Yue Clan. They created Ye Guan to take control of the Academy!”
Many people were stupefied upon hearing Grand Elder Ge’s words, while others were gloomy. They knew that they had already gone down the road of no return. Even if Ye Guan was the Young Master, they couldn’t acknowledge him.
The only solution here was to kill Ye Guan first and then talk about it later.
Lu Tian’s supporters thought of the same thing as Grand Elder Ge.
Empress Yue frowned while staring at Grand Elder Ge. “That’s the kind of garbage Ying Qing hires for the Immortal Treasures Pavilion?”
Princess Xin chuckled and said, “I think it’s time for Ying Qing to retire.”
Meanwhile, Lu Tian suddenly calmed down. He looked at Ye Guan with a straight face and ordered his troops, “He’s a mere imitation of me. Kill him!”
Multiple rifts in space abruptly manifested around Ye Guan. Moments later, ten black-robed men charged out of the rift and made a beeline for Ye Guan in an attempt to kill him.
Grand Elder Ge roared, “Kill Ye Guan! Kill him!”
However, the people behind him didn’t move. They weren’t dumb enough to make a careless move at this point. They had never really thought about it, but now, they all had the same thought in mind.
They really look alike! He resembles the Sword Master and our Pavilion Master…
Now that the truth had come out, only fools would listen to Grand Elder Ge. Rebel? They don’t dare to rebel!
Grand Elder Ge broke down upon seeing that none of the Dao Soldiers behind him had carried out his instruction.
“How bold!” Ten elites wearing war armor appeared around Ye Guan. They stepped forward, and their figures blurred.
Ten heads flew into the air, and the assailants perished in the blink of an eye.
“The Guanxuan Guards!” someone exclaimed in a trembling voice. “T-t-the Ancient Guanxuan Guards have been mobilized. Ye Guan… he’s really the Young Master, he really is the Young Master…”
Boom!
A rift in space abruptly manifested, and a hundred thousand strong men wearing dark armor uniformly marched out of the massive rift. A middle-aged man at the helm slowly approached Ye Guan and knelt.
“Dai Zhen, Commander of the Guanxuan Guards, greets the Young Master!”
The Guanxuan Guards knelt together with the middle-aged man.
A woman slowly walked out of the rift in space.
The woman was none other than Li Banzhi, and Old Zhang was standing next to her.
Li Banzhi walked up to Ye Guan with a smile. She was about to kneel, but Ye Guan hurriedly stopped her and said, “Aunt Zhi, you don’t have to do that for me.”
Aunt Zhi! Li Banzhi smiled softly. She was about to say something when a mysterious voice shouted in Ye Guan’s head. “Little brat, retreat!”
The voice didn’t belong to Master Pagoda!
Ye Guan was shocked, but his expression remained calm as he stared intently at Li Banzhi before saying, “We have to leave, Aunt Zhi.”
Li Banzhi’s eyes narrowed at Ye Guan’s words, but she quickly shouted, “Protect and escort the Young Master!”
An additional thirty Ancient Guanxuan Guards surrounded Ye Guan.
Princess Xin and Empress Yue’s faces finally changed as well.
“Gather!” they shouted at their troops.
Rumble!
The space in front of Ye Guan was torn apart.
Two silver-haired men rushed out of the rift.
“Watch out! Princess Xin warned, “They are Divine Spirit Generals!”
The ten Ancient Guanxuan Guards that stood at the front charged to meet the Divine Generals, but a terrifying energy erupted from the two Divine Generals.
Boom!
The Ancient Guanxuan Guards were sent flying away, and the spacetime where they stood earlier had caved in. A dark figure appeared and grabbed Ye Guan’s shoulder to whisk him thousands of meters away.
The dark figure was An You!
The two Divine Generals vanished as well.
Princess Xin and Empress Yue didn’t dare to lag behind; they disappeared as well!
Rumble!
The two Divine Generals were sent flying, but the space above Ye Guan was torn open. Three Divine Generals rushed out of the rift and made a beeline for Ye Guan!
Ye Guan’s eyes narrowed at the sight.
An You raged and roared, “Impudent bastards!”
A few black-robed men rushed out behind An You. They transformed into shadows and charged toward the three Divine Generals. At the same time, An You grabbed Ye Guan and disappeared once more!
Rumble!
A deafening explosion echoed.
The entire Trial Peak was pulverized as everyone ran for their lives.
Rumble!
A huge vortex suddenly appeared in the sky. Moments later, a dark tunnel shot out of the vortex. More than a hundred elites clad in armor rushed out of the dark tunnel and went straight for Ye Guan!
Their auras were in a variety of colors, which made it seem as if a rainbow was charging toward Ye Guan. However, they were elite cultivators with formidable cultivation bases, so the space in front of them collapsed as they passed through it.
“Stop them!” Chen Guanzi howled. He hopped onto his sword, followed by hundreds of swordsmen.
Ye Guan was about to make a move. However, An You stopped him and said, “Young Master, don’t do anything. There will be more spacetime tunnels soon, which means more and more Divine Spirits will make their way here. You must not make any moves on your own in the meantime.”
The distant Li Banzhi behind them yelled, “Open a spacetime tunnel and send them to Xuzhen World! Our elites are all at the Xuzhen World, and it’s the only place that will allow us to ensure Young Master’s safety!”
An You hurriedly opened his palms and clawed fiercely at the space in front of him.
Boom!
A loud explosion echoed as An You forcefully carved a spacetime tunnel in the space ahead of him. He grabbed Ye Guan and was about to enter the spacetime tunnel, but his pupils constricted; he vanished and retreated far away.
He turned to look at where he initially stood and found a middle-aged man wearing a flaming armor. The intense heat coming from his armor reduced even spacetime itself to ashes.
“A Divine King!” Li Banzhi’s face changed upon identifying the middle-aged man. She was truly starting to panic. She didn’t expect that the Divine Spirits had already made it this far into the Main Guanxuan Academy!
“Taichu Jing!” Li Banzhi roared in fury, “What were you guys doing in the Xuzhen World?! Why are they here?!”
The remaining onlookers were still frozen in a daze.
Qin Feng abruptly appeared in front of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion’s Dao Soldiers and shouted at the top of his lungs, “What are you looking at?! Ye Guan is the Pavilion Master’s son, are you waiting for the Pavilion Master to come here and punish you first before protecting her son?!”
The Dao Soldiers froze upon hearing Qin Feng’s words. However, they eventually came to their senses and cursed. Fuck! This is a great opportunity for us to atone for our sins!
Commander Shangguan Zhan roared, “Protect the Young Master! Charge!”
With that, he took the lead and charged at the enemies.
