Chapter 416: I’ll Deal With The Plain Skirt Lady
Firing the Heavenly Dao? Xuanyuan Ling shook her head and smiled. Of course, she was not going to take him seriously; clearly, he was just venting.
An ordinary person wouldn't be familiar with the Heavenly Dao—no, there was a high chance that they had never heard of it before, but Xuanyuan Ling from the Xuanyuan Clan, and there was no way her clan wasn't aware of the Heavenly Dao's existence.
The Blue Planet also had a Heavenly Dao, and the Milky Way Clan had sent the Heavenly Dao over to maintain the order of the planet and prevent any evil forces from disrupting the Blue Planet's development.
Thus, Ye Guan's remark about firing the Heavenly Dao sounded outright absurd to Xuanyuan Ling. There was only one way Ye Guan could fire the Heavenly Dao, and it was becoming the Clan Leader of the Milky Way Clan!
Ye Guan didn't elaborate. His top priority at the moment was to help Su Zi recover as soon as possible and teach her how to cultivate.
Ye Guan was being targeted, but the same couldn't be said for Su Zi.
After about an hour, the helicopter finally landed.
Xuanyuan Ling brought Ye Guan and Su Zi to a luxurious room on the highest floor of a skyscraper. The room was huge—eight hundred square meters big, and it was decorated lavishly. The window also offered an overlooking view of half the city.
"We're in one of our Xuanyuan Clan's buildings, and I usually stay in this room whenever I'm here in Yanjing, so don't worry. No one will disturb you here," Xuanyuan Ling explained.
Ye Guan looked around; indeed, the decors made the room give off a cozy air. Ye Guan gave an approving nod before carrying Su Zi over to the bed and putting her down gently.
Xuanyuan Ling walked over and examined Su Zi’s legs before saying, "We should clean her wounds."
"I’ll go fetch some water," Ye Guan replied.
Then, he turned around and left. Soon, he returned with a big bowl of water. He removed the bandages and saw that Su Zi's wounds had healed considerably due to the Nuwa Stone, but the blood seeping out of her wounds still worried Ye Guan.
Ye Guan gently wiped away the blood on Su Zi's legs.
Xuanyuan Ling stood by Ye Guan and was quietly staring at Su Zi.
Su Zi was overjoyed, and she was grinning as Ye Guan cleaned her wounds.
Once Ye Guan was done cleaning Su Zi's wounds, he put a blanket over her and said, "You should get some rest."
"I will," Su Zi said, nodding slightly.
Ye Guan stood up and turned around to leave the room.
Xuanyuan Ling took out a pill and handed it over to Su Zi, saying, "Miss Su, this pill will help you recover."
Su Zi nodded. "Thank you!"
"You’re welcome," Xuanyuan Ling replied before turning around and leaving.
Ye Guan and Xuanyuan Ling eventually found themselves on the balcony.
Ye Guan enjoyed the view of Yanjing City from the balcony before saying, "Miss. Ling, what do you need?"
"I don’t need anything," Xuanyuan Ling answered.
Ye Guan turned to look at her.
Xuanyuan Ling smiled and said, "We're friends, aren't we? It's just a small favor between friends, so you don't have to worry about it."
"Miss Ling, to be honest with you, there is something that I need to trouble you with, so if there’s anything you need, please let me know, and I’ll—"
"Mr. Ye, do you not think of me as your friend?"
"That’s not it. I just don’t like to be indebted to others."
"What do you need me to do?"
"There are two things I need your help with. First of all, I want you to find a certain pedestrian bridge in Yanjing. Secondly and lastly, I want to know the identity of the Boundless Club's owner and if there's a way to contact them.."
Xuanyuan Ling frowned and asked, "The Boundless Club?"
Ye Guan nodded. "Yes."
Xuanyuan Ling was silent.
"Are you familiar with the Boundless Club?" asked Ye Guan.
"Yes," Xuanyuan Ling replied and explained, "The owner of the Boundless Club is an extremely enigmatic individual; even my Xuanyuan Clan haven't been able to uncover their identity.
"However, we're thinking that he's from the stars beyond."
"You're right," Ye Guan said, confirming her doubts, "He’s from the stars beyond."
"Mr. Ye, are you perhaps aware of his identity?"
"Yes, but I can't contact him at the moment."
"Then we have no choice but to go to the headquarters of the Boundless Club."
"Can the members of the Xuanyuan Clan enter that place?"
"Yes, we can."
"I’ll have to trouble you. then."
"It’s no trouble at all."
"What about the pedestrian bridge?" Ye Guan asked.
"Mr. Ye, there's a myriad of pedestrian bridges in Yanjing. Do you have any information you can tell me to narrow things down?"
"Have you ever read the book titled Seduced in the Sea of Desires?"
Xuanyuan Ling was stunned, and her face flushed instantly as she quickly shook her head.
"N-No..." she stammered.
The look on Xuanyuan Ling's face made it painfully clear that she had read the book before. Ye Guan smiled sheepishly at the sight and explained, "I'm looking for the author of that book, Miss Lig."
"In that case, I know where that pedestrian bridge is," Xuanyuan Ling said softly.
"Can you bring me there?"
"We can only go there at night."
"At night, she only goes there at night?"
"Yes."
"Okay, let’s do that, then."
Cishu and Cirou had embarked on a journey to the Milky Way to find the True God.
In other words, Ye Guan just had to find the True God, and he would find both Cishu and Cirou.
Cishu! Ye Guan sighed. She really is...
"I'll come back for you later, then," Xuanyuan Ling said and suggested, "You should go ahead and rest."
"Yeah, I should," Ye Guan replied.
Xuanyuan Ling turned around to leave.
Ye Guan walked out of the balcony and found that Su Zi was already asleep.
He tucked her in tightly before sitting cross-legged in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the penthouse.
Time to cultivate! Ye Guan smiled. The spiritual energy in Yanjing was much denser than the spiritual energy in Baiyun City.
It still couldn't compare to the spiritual energy density of the Guanxuan Universe, but it was severalfold denser than Baiyun City's spiritual energy density. Ye Guan had no idea how long Ye Xuan would keep him suppressed, so Ye Guan ought to gather as much profound energy as he could while it was possible.
After all, Yanjing wasn't exactly a safe place for him. In fact, one of his people had almost killed him yesterday.
Ye Guan took a deep breath and circulated the Universe Beholdment Skill; the spiritual energy in the air soon gathered and formed a vortex above him.
...
A middle-aged man was standing silently in a certain part of the starry skies. Three were standing behind him—a woman wearing Daoist robes, a hunchbacked old man and a black-robed man. Every single one of them gave off a terrifying killing intent.
This middle-aged man standing at the front was none other than the Eternal Sovereign.
The Eternal Sovereign was staring at an expansive ruin.
"You Spirit, are you really willing to hide in these ruins forever?" he asked.
Just then, a phantom appeared before the Eternal Sovereign.
"Eternal Sovereign, I don’t know who that plain skirt lady is or how strong she is, but I do know that True God is extremely powerful. Pardon me for being blunt, but I don't think that you can beat her at all."
The Eternal Sovereign chuckled. "The True God has decided to maintain the order that the Great Daoist Brush Master has established, which means that any living beings beneath her will die one day."
"I'm curious, just how much longer do you have to live?"
The You Spirit was quiet.
The Eternal Sovereign stared at the You Spirit and said, "I'll deal with the True God and the plain-skirt lady."
The You Spirit remained silent.
The Eternal Sovereign smiled and continued, "Do you not wish to be immortal? To live forever? We just have to kill the plain-skirt lady, and the vast expanse will be ours."
The You Spirit sighed and said, "Eternal Sovereign, it hasn't been that long since you emerged from your seal. How come you're already thinking of such a thing?"
The Eternal Sovereign replied, "I want to get back everything I lost. I've finally been released after so many years, so if I do not do something, what was the point of waiting for so many years?"
"I won’t be a part of this," the You Spirit replied and left.
He also wanted to overthrow the True God's established order. Who wouldn't want to live forever? However, he didn't trust the Eternal Sovereign. The Eternal Sovereign was just too unpredictable of an ally!
The You Spirit decided that it would be better for him to play safe.
The Eternal Sovereign’s eyes turned cold at the You Spirit's departure.
"A Cosmic Spirit with no fighting spirit. Useless!" the Eternal Sovereign spat coldly.
Sovereign Zang said, "I've met quite a few Cosmic Spirits with the same attitude as him. I think that's the reason some Great Destiny Sovereigns are stronger than them."
The Eternal Sovereign nodded without saying anything.
Sovereign Zang asked, "When are we heading to the Milky Way?"
The Eternal Sovereign closed his eyes and said, "We still have somewhere to go, and it's the last place we will visit before going to the Milky Way. It has a Great Dao Origin, and the Great Dao Origin there will restore all my strength."
The light in the eyes of the people behind the Eternal Sovereign turned fiery. The Great Dao Origin was the most precious source of energy in the vast expanse.
The Eternal Sovereign turned around and stared at somewhere with a light smile.
"The plain-skirt lady only has one month to live at most. Let's go; we'll pick up the pace and let her die sooner rather than later!" the Eternal Sovereign said before disappearing into thin air.
The people behind him disappeared soon afterward and followed closely behind him.
...
Ye Guan cultivated until nightfall, and he had managed enough profound energy to unleash five sword moves imbued with sword energy. He felt the urge to go against the mysterious force again, but he decided against it in the end.
Ye Guan was convinced that he would just receive another beatdown if he were to do so.
Just then, Ye Guan heard footsteps behind him. He turned and saw Su Zi.
Su Zi sat down on the nearby sofa and enjoyed the night view of Yanjing City. After a while, Su Zi turned to Ye Guan.
"You said before that you would teach me how to cultivate," she said, blinking.
"Yes, I did say that," Ye Guan replied.
"Is it hard?" Su Zi asked.
Ye Guan shook his head. "Nope, not at all!"
Ye Guan then put his finger on Su Zi’s forehead.
A torrent of information inundated Su Zi.
Ye Guan soon retracted his finger and stared at Su Zi.
Su Zi opened her eyes and asked, "The Universe Beholdment Skill?"
Ye Guan nodded and said, "It’s one of the best cultivation methods out there."
"It must be priceless, then," Su Zi said.
"Not at all," Ye Guan said and smiled. "It’s only as valuable as the necklace you're wearing right now."
Su Zi looked down and muttered, "You're always teasing me..."
Ye Guan chuckled and asked, "I’m going to the pedestrian bridge to look for the author of that book I had mentioned to you long ago. Do you want to come with me?"
Su Zi wanted to say yes, but she seemed to have recalled something and shook her head instead. "I'm going to visit Sister Gu. I've been postponing many business-related affairs, and I can't afford to postpone them anymore."
Ye Guan nodded. "All right."
Soon, Xuanyuan Ling walked into the room after knocking.
Ye Guan got up and said, "Let’s go."
"Wait!" Su Zi exclaimed just as Ye Guan was about to walk away.
Ye Guan turned and saw Su Zi walking up to him.
Su Zi fixed his collar and said softly, "Next time, don't leave without saying goodbye to me, okay?"
Ye Guan was silent for a little while before he said, "Okay."
"Promise?"
"I promise."
"Go on, then."
Ye Guan nodded and left with Xuanyuan Ling.
Left all alone, Su Zi stared at the door for a long time before she shook her head with a wry smile.
Meanwhile, Ye Guan and Xuanyuan Ling made a beeline for the pedestrian bridge where they could find the author of the book—Seduced in the Sea of Desires!
