Chapter 288: Creating a New Lineage
Die! Little White was fuming. How dare you scold Erya! Let’s all die together!
Ye Guan’s expression changed. He ran away without a second thought. Bombs were just too frightening.
Little White was stunned, and her eyes widened in confusion upon seeing Ye Guan run away. She gestured at Ye Guan with her claws, but Ye Guan couldn't understand her gestures.
Erya appeared and struck the bomb using her palm.
Boom!
The bomb exploded, but the energy it generated was suppressed by Erya's palm.
Erya had single-handedly suppressed the chaotic energy born from a bomb explosion!
Ye Guan's eyelids twitched. He was aware of just how strong Little White's Bombs were, so he was beyond stupefied to see Erya suppress such a powerful explosion with just her palm.
Erya was indeed extremely powerful. Ye Guan made a decision just then. He would ask for Erya's blood once Qianqian had recovered. Erya's blood would definitely be of great help to Qianqian.
Erya clapped her hands and turned to look at Ye Guan.
"Want to go to the Heaven Seizing Clan?"
Ye Guan nodded. "Yes."
Erya walked up to Ye Guan. She looked into his eyes and asked, "Are you not afraid?"
Ye Guan smiled. "No"
Erya nodded as a smile lit up her face.
“This grandson has guts!” she exclaimed
Ye Guan’s expression darkened. Why does it sound like a scolding?
Erya waved her hands and shouted, “Lead the way! Destroy the Heaven Seizing Clan!”
Ye Guan nodded and turned to a black-robed old man. The black-robed old man hesitated before saying, “Academy Chief, shouldn't we head back and create a long-term plan first?”
The Heaven Seizing Clan wasn't as powerful as the True Universe, but they weren't weak. In other words, the Heaven Seizing Clan held the numbers advantage against Ye Guan's group at the moment.
Ye Guan calmly replied, “Lead the way.”
The black-robed old man went silent. He turned and gestured with his hands.
The spacetime was torn open, and a spacetime tunnel appeared.
“Let’s go!” Erya shouted, entering the spacetime tunnel. The others followed closely behind her.
Erya took out a hawthorn candy and ate it casually. She would sometimes let Little White lick it. Overall, Erya looked like she was taking a stroll.
Ye Guan called over the black-robed old man and gave a few instructions.
The black-robed old man bowed deeply to Ye Guan before retreating.
Just then, the mysterious voice asked, "Are you really going to wage war on the Heaven Seizing Clan?"
Ye Guan nodded.
The mysterious voice was silent.
Ye Guan chuckled and asked, "Do you really think that I'm that impulsive, senior?"
The mysterious voice asked back, "What do you think?"
Ye Guan calmly said, "The Guanxuan Universe's archenemy is the True Universe. The True Universe is extremely powerful, which means the Guanxuan Universe should make friends rather than enemies whenever possible.
"The keyword here is whenever possible. It would have been ideal if the Guanxuan Universe and the Heaven Seizing Clan had established an alliance, but as you have seen, the Heaven Seizing Clan is hostile toward our Guanxuan Universe.
"The Clan Leader of the Heaven Seizing Clan has expressed his desire to seize my bloodline, the King of the Guanxuan Universe's bloodline. Though his actions were directed at me, it is still a great disrespect to the Guanxuan Universe."
Ye Guan smiled and continued. "My principle is to not cause trouble unless provoked. The Heaven Seizing Clan has provoked us, so we're going to fight them; there's no need for further discussion."
The mysterious voice said, "The Clan Leader of the Heaven Seizing Clan is a very arrogant individual. In his eyes, no one else can reach the apex aside from himself and my big sister."
Ye Guan laughed and said, "I noticed that."
The mysterious voice sounded solemn as she said, "Be careful. The Heaven Seizing Clan is no longer comparable to during its heyday, but it's still a formidable clan.."
"I understand." Ye Guan nodded. Then, he remembered something and asked, "Master Pagoda, can my Mad Demon Bloodline devour bloodlines?"
Little Pagoda replied, "Yes."
Ye Guan nodded and fell into deep contemplation.
…
The True Universe and the Guanxuan Universe seemed to have reached a temporary truce when the Guanxuan Universe confirmed that Ye Guan was safe.
The people on the Guanxuan Universe's side gathered in the Xuzhen Holy Hall, which included the members of the Han Clan, the Lian Clan, the Si Clan, and the Zong Clan.
Han Zong, Lian Shuang, Si Tongtian and Zong Shou were sitting next to each other while their clan members stood behind them. Their clan members looked delighted rather than somber.
They had won the gamble!
If they had lost, they would have died and perished with their clans.
They had won, so they all believed that their clans would rise like a meteor from now on.
The rest of the All Worlds couldn't compare to the Guanxuan Universe. They had declared their allegiance and willingness to die with the Guanxuan Universe, so the Guanxuan Universe would naturally support them.
With the Guanxuan Universe's help, it wouldn't be that difficult for them to become the top power in their respective worlds. Most importantly, they no longer had to pay the True Universe any tributes.
Nalan Jia smiled at Han Zong and the rest. “Thank you for coming here to support us. From now on, your issues are also our issues.”
She glanced at Old Zhang. Old Zhang walked in front of them and opened his palm to reveal storage rings. The storage rings flew and descended slowly before Han Zong and the rest.
Han Zong hesitated. “S-Sister-in-law, you don't have to do this. We're Ye Guan’s brothers, and we didn't come here to help him in exchange for money—”
Han An tugged on his sleeve and said, “You'd best take a look at it first.”
Han Zong froze and examined the storage ring.
Moments later, he stood up and said, “I think there's no need for me to stand on ceremony. Thank you.”
He put away the storage ring in a hurry and with a thrilled look. Indeed, he hadn't come here for money, but it depended on the amount.
Si Tongtian and the others were stupefied as well. Nalan Jia had given them too much money. They initially wanted to decline her offer, but they decided to refrain from pretending—what if the Guanxuan Universe took them seriously?
The elders and the members of their respective clans were thrilled.
They would have missed out if they hadn't come here to support the Guanxuan Universe. It was a good thing that their young clan leaders were insightful and knew how to draw the bigger picture.
Indeed, they would grow steadily with no one daring enough to offend them beneath the banner of the Guanxuan Universe. In addition, their young clan leaders seemed to have become Ye Guan's sworn brothers.
Sworn brothers were beyond superficial relationships, as sworn brothers were willing to risk their lives for the sake of their brothers.
Nalan Jia swept his gaze across them and said, “Everyone, you can use the cultivation grounds of the Guanxuan Universe anytime you want. Everything is free. Your clan members can also come here to cultivate.”
The clan members were moved. To think Nalan Jia would allow even their clan members to cultivate in the Guanxuan Universe's cultivation grounds for free. This was tantamount to the Guanxuan Universe sponsoring their young talents.
Of course, they would help out whenever Guanxuan Universe was in trouble.
After all, they were in the same boat. They would share glory and troubles.
Han Zong cupped his fist and said, “Thank you, Sister-in-law.”
The others also expressed their gratitude.
Nalan Jia smiled lightly without saying anything.
Just then, Si Tongtian asked, "Sister-in-law, do you know where Big Brother is?"
"He'll be back shortly. Are you going to wait, or…" Nalan Jia trailed off and chuckled.
Si Tongtian made a sidelong glance at his father.
Si Lian said in a deep voice, "Pavilion Master Nalan, we've been away for quite some time. We have many things to handle in our clan. Therefore, we will have to return. If the True Universe attacks you, our Si Clan will assist you as soon as possible."
Nalan Jia nodded. "Alright."
Si Lian cupped his fist and said, "Farewell!"
With that, he led Si Tongtian and the members of his clan away.
Han Zong and the others also bid their farewells. They had been out for too long, and they really had to return soon.
After sending everyone off, Nalan Jia called out, “Manager Qin.”
Qin Feng appeared and bowed slightly. “Pavilion Master.”
Nalan Jia looked at Qin Feng. “From now on, the Heaven Seizing Clan is the Immortal Treasures Pavilion’s enemy. Every branch of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion in the Heaven Seizing Universe is to be shut down. In addition, put out a notice that anyone who kills someone from the Heaven Seizing Clan will be rewarded with three hundred thousand spiritual cores. There is no limit. The higher the realm, the higher the reward.”
“Understood.” Qin Feng nodded and left.
Nalan Jia called out, “Zong Lao.”
An old man holding a scythe appeared behind her.
Nalan Jia said in a low voice, “Head to the Heaven Seizing Clan. No matter what, you have to make sure that he's safe.”
Zong Lao nodded before vanishing.
Soon, Nalan Jia left the Xuzhen Holy Hall. Moments later, she appeared in a void.
An Nanjing stood not too far away from her.
Nalan Jia walked to An Nanjing and bowed slightly before speaking, “Senior, I received news that Little Guan and Lady Erya are heading over to the Heaven Seizing Clan.”
An Nanjing frowned. She had been staying here, afraid that the True Universe might launch a surprise attack. She sent Erya to reinforce Ye Guan, and she explicitly told Erya to bring Ye Guan back without causing any trouble.
However, she still ended up causing trouble!
The three brats had chosen to confront the Heaven Seizing Clan!
After a moment of silence, An Nanjing said, "Let them experience some hardship!"
Nalan Jia was taken aback.
An Nanjing turned to Nalan Jia and explained, “Take care of the academy and the students. Don’t worry about him. I will protect him secretly.”
Nalan Jia bowed and was about to speak when An Nanjing continued. “Don’t keep bowing; we're already so close. Your respectfulness makes me feel like we're strangers.”
Nalan Jia grinned brightly and said, “All right.”
…
The Si Clan was speeding down a spacetime tunnel. Every clan member was smiling, and it made sense, as they were about to go home after making it big. Si Tongtian swept his gaze across everyone before turning to look at Si Lian.
“Father, about the rightful heir…" he said, trailing off.
The elders' eyes fell on Si Lian.
If it were before their excursion to the Guanxuan Universe, they would have voiced their disapproval, but now, they didn't dare to do so.
Si Tongtian and Ye Guan's relationship was clearly special. If the Si Clan prevented Si Tongtian from becoming the rightful heir of the Si Clan, the relationship between the Si Clan and the Guanxuan Universe would certainly become strained.
Si Lian calmly said, “I've already discussed it with the elders. You're not good enough to become the rightful heir, so—"
"Clan Leader!" the Grand Elder exclaimed. He stepped forward and hurriedly said, "The circumstances have changed. Our clan reaped tremendous profits and benefits, all thanks to Tongtian's wisdom and martial prowess. If it hadn't been for him, we wouldn't have been able to seize this opportunity.
"With that being said, I nominate Tongtian as the rightful heir of the clan! I will be the first one to deal with those daring enough to oppose the nomination!"
The remaining elders clamored to show their support.
Si Lian glanced at the Grand Elder and smiled, "He still has much to learn, and his talent is mediocre at best. He doesn't deserve to be the rightful heir of the Si Clan. Let's choose someone else! Your grandson is pretty good. How about we select him?"
The Grand Elder hesitated at that. If he had to be frank, it was a great suggestion.
Si Tongtian hurriedly said, “Let’s choose Grand Elder’s grandson!”
The Grand Elder instantly looked at Si Tongtian and asked, “What are you doing?”
Si Tongtian laughed heartily. "I want to create a new lineage in our family, and I will be the very first member of that lineage. From now on, I'm the ancestor of our Si Clan—Revered Ancestor Tongtian!"
Si Tongtian's eyes fell on his father, Si Lian. “Father, you'll have to help me!"
"What should I call you?" asked Si Lian.
Si Tongtian didn't hesitate to say, "Of course, you should call me Revered Ancestor—"
He caught himself in time upon realizing that there was something wrong. He quickly corrected himself and said, “Actually, you should call me Father. We'll maintain our father-and-son relationship, but I'm the father, and you're the son.
"There should be no issues with this arrangement.”
Everyone had no idea what to say to that.
