I Have A Sword

Chapter 251: A Call to Gather

Si Lian was the family head of the Si Family in the Yuan World. Si Lian stared with a straight face at Si Tongtian standing in front of him and asked, “Do you really want to go?”

Si Tongtian was slightly fearful of Si Lian, but he eventually gathered enough courage to nod.

Si Lian asked, “You’ll be nothing but a cannon fodder there.”

Si Tongtian frowned and said, “Father, do you really think that I’m that lousy?”

Si Lian expressionlessly retorted, “Oh, are you not?”

Si Tongtian froze and went silent. Is he really my father?

Si Lian continued to deliver more blows to his heart. “It’s not just you; even the strongest on the All Worlds List will struggle on that kind of battlefield. What can you achieve there when you’re not even on the All Worlds List?

“I’ll be blunt, but you’re not even strong enough to become a cannon fodder there, and don’t look at me like that. I’m not lying here.”

Si Tongtian’s voice deepened as he replied, “I admit that I’m not strong enough to contend, but I’m pretty good at trash-talking.”

“Are you going there to trash talk the talents of the True Universe?” Si Lian boiled with rage.

Si Tongtian hesitated briefly before replying, “Even if I can’t kill them, it’s good enough if they become infuriated by my trash-talking. Weren’t you always saying that you’ll die out of fury someday because I’m too annoying to deal with?”

Si Lian was furious. He raised his hand up in a threatening manner.

Si Tongtian’s eyes widened, but he didn’t flinch. He stood his ground and went quiet.

A complicated light fleeted across Si Lian’s eyes as he sighed, “The Si Family is not in a position to interfere with the matter between the Guanxuan Universe and the True Universe; the same goes for the Yuan World. The elites of the elites are fighting among themselves, and we’re mere ants in their eyes. Do you understand?”

After a while, Si Tongtian said, “Ye Guan is my big brother.”

“So what?” Si Lian questioned.

Si Tongtian smiled wryly and said, “Father, I know that I haven’t achieved much in my life, and you don’t really think of me as capable. I admit that I’m incompetent, and the clan members aren’t really fond of me either.

”I know that they don’t want me to become the next family head, and I am not good enough to succeed you as well. Father, you and the elders don’t really think of me as the heir, right?”

Si Lian stared quietly at Si Tongtian.

Si Tongtian smiled as he continued. “I don’t blame you, Father, really. I’m just too incompetent and weak. I’ve decided to come here and tell you about my plan, but it’s not because I want to make the entire family follow me to the Guanxuan Universe.

“I’m just here to tell you that I’m going there by myself.”

Si Lian calmly asked, “Why?”

“Father, I’m in a terrible state. I only have one chance to turn things around, and I can only do it by seeking external help!” Si Tongtian persuaded.

Si Lian stared deeply at Si Tongtian before asking, “Ye Guan’s help?”

Si Tongtian nodded. “Yes!”

Si Lian asked, “You consider him your big brother, but does he consider you his younger brother?”

“How foolish you are, Father!” Si Tongtian chided.

Si Lian frowned, and his right hand fidgeted.

Si Tongtian saw that, so he immediately explained, “The Guanxuan Universe is in a tough spot at the moment, and I’m about to go there and support them while they are in dire need of help.

“Do you really think that he will turn me away if I call him big brother if I were to go all the way there just to support him? If he doesn’t turn me away, the All Worlds will learn that Ye Guan is my big brother. If you want me to succeed you as the family head, I can simply call on my big brother. Who will dare to say anything by then?!”

A deafening silence blanketed the two.

Si Lian asked, “What’s going to happen if the Guanxuan Universe loses?”

Si Tongtian retorted, “What if they win?”

Si Lian frowned. “Answer me: what if they lose?”

Si Tongtian retorted once more, “Answer me: what if they win?”

“Am I your father, or are you my father?” Si Lian was furious. He raised his hand and brought it down.

Slap!

Si Tongtian fell to the ground, and he didn’t stand up.

Si Lian looked down at him and roared, “You rebellious child! Do you still think of me as your father?”

Si Tongtian crawled up. He was at a loss for words, but he knew that his father’s temper had always been terrible. Of course, he knew that Si Lian would really beat him up soon if he were to continue beating around the bush.

Si Tongtian hurriedly said, “Father, think about it! The Guanxuan Universe and the True Universe have fought each other for so many years, but the Guanxuan Universe has never lost. I don’t think they’re going to lose this war.”

Si Lian stared deeply at Si Tongtian and asked, “What if they lose?”

Si Tongtian went silent, but he was inwardly annoyed. Goodness, Father! How come you’re so stiff? Are you a wooden stick or something? If you weren’t my father, I would have already split you into two.

Si Lian glared at Si Tongtian while waiting for the latter’s answer.

Si Tongtian’s voice was deep as he answered, “Father, the worst that could happen is death.”

“Are you not afraid of dying?” asked Si Lian.

“I’m afraid, but I also know that the higher the risk, the greater the reward! If I don’t help Big Brother while he’s at the bottom, do I really deserve to stand next to him once he’s on the summit?” Si Tongtian answered.

Si Lian asked again, “Have you truly made up your mind?”

“Yes!” Si Tongtian nodded with determination.

Si Lian went silent for a long time before he yelled, “Old Jiang!”

An old man abruptly appeared behind Si Tongtian. He was an elite as strong as Divine Sovereigns. There were ten mysterious old men dressed in black robes standing behind him. They were all peak Time Immortal Realm cultivators.

Si Lian’s gaze fell on Si Tongtian once more as he said, “You shall head there with Old Jiang.”

Confused, Si Tongtian asked, “Why?”

“What’s the point of you going there by yourself?!” Si Lian shouted, “Are you going to go there just to bring trouble to me?”

Si Tongtian chuckled to himself.

Si Lian explained, “Old Jiang in the others can help you out, and you’ll also become a bit more influential with them standing behind you. If you go there by yourself, others will belittle you even if your big brother decides to acknowledge your presence.”

“I understand.” Si Tongtian nodded and said, “Thank you, Father!”

He hesitated slightly before asking, “Am I dragging the Si Family down with me?”

Si Lian calmly replied, “If the Guanxuan Universe wins, we’re still father and son.”

“What if they lose?” Si Tongtian asked carefully.

Si Lian glared at Si Tongtian and replied, “We won’t know each other by then!”

Si Tongtian stiffened.

Si Lian waved his hand dismissively and said, “Go!”

Si Tongtian turned around and left.

“Wait!” shouted Si Lian.

Si Tongtian came to a halt and turned around to face Si Lian.

Si Lian mumbled, “Come back alive!”

Si Tongtian grinned and replied, “I’ll step up if I’m qualified. Otherwise, I’ll just use my mouth and trash-talk them with all of my might.”

With that, Si Tongtian turned around and took off to the starry skies with Old Jiang and the rest.

Si Lian shook his head and chuckled. “Little brat!”

…

There was another superpower in the Guanxuan Universe aside from the Guanxuan Academy and the Immortal Treasures Pavilion.

It was none other than the Milky Way Clan.

The Milky Way Clan’s history was deeper and longer than the Guanxuan Academy, but it was a special superpower that rarely got involved with the matters of the Guanxuan Universe.

The Milky Way Clan was also the only clan that wasn’t under the governance of the Guanxuan Academy.

The people thought of the Milky Way Clan as an ancient and mysterious clan. Only the higher-ups knew that the Milky Way Clan was pretty close to the Yang Family.

A woman was sitting by herself in the great hall of the Milky Way Clan.

A towering pile of documents stood in front of her.

The woman was clad in a black skirt, and her long hair draped over her waist.

She was exceptionally beautiful, and there was a black bracelet wrapped around her wrist. Her eyes were transfixed on the document before her as she scribbled a few words on the document.

Just then, a middle-aged man entered the great hall.

He bowed respectfully and said, “Clan Master Yang, the Guanxuan Universe is in trouble.”

The woman frowned and said, “Tell me more.”

The middle-aged man explained, “The True Universe has declared a full-fledged war on the younger generation of the Guanxuan Universe.”

A full-fledged war! The woman’s eyes narrowed. She placed the pen down and stared deeply at the man before asking, “A full-fledged war between the younger generation of both universes?”

“Yes.” The middle-aged man nodded and asked, “What should we do, Clan Master?”

The woman’s expression remained unchanging as she responded, “Do you even have to ask? Pass my orders down: every member of the Milky Way Clan’s young generation must return to the Milky Way Hall within fifteen minutes. Those who disobey will be kicked out of the clan.”

The middle-aged man bowed deeply and walked away.

A full-fledged war! The woman’s eyes grew colder and colder, and she suddenly shouted, “Someone!”

An old man appeared not too far away, and he bowed respectfully toward the woman.

The woman sounded cold as she declared, “Pass my orders down: everyone who is above the Immortal Realm must return to the Milky Way Hall within fifteen minutes. If I don’t see them in fifteen minutes, they will be kicked out of the clan.”

The old man bowed and vanished.

The woman shouted once again, “Someone!”

This time, a woman wearing a black shirt appeared not too far away from her.

The woman stared at the woman wearing a black shirt and said, “Tell the Immortal Treasures Pavilion to activate all teleportation arrays connected to the Guanxuan Universe. An hour later, all of us will head there.”

“I understand,” said the woman wearing a black shirt. She bowed slightly before leaving the great hall.

The woman was the Clan Master of the Milky Way Clan, Yang Lianshuang.

Yang Lianshuang’s eyes were narrowed into slits as she muttered, “The True Universe…”

She balled her right hand into a fist.

The Milky Way Clan was a participant in that battle many years ago, so she was aware of what had happened back then. It was such a terrible battle, but it was about to happen once again!

However, the members of the younger generation from both sides were the ones who were going to fight the war.

Yang Lianshuang abruptly stood up and left the great hall.

Moments later, she appeared in the vast expanse up above.

A young woman was seated cross-legged in the vast expanse. Her long hair was tucked behind her ears, and her arms were resting on her knees. Her aura couldn’t be felt, and it seemed as though she had become a part of the vast expanse.

A black pagoda, a brush, and a golden tree hovered on her left, while a jet-black stone hovered on her right. The jet-black stone emitted a mysterious energy, and the spacetime around the young woman was vibrating ever so slightly.

Overall, it was an indescribable but terrifying sight.

Just then, an old man appeared next to Yang Lianshuang.

He bowed toward Yang Lianshuang and said, “Clan Master!”

Yang Lianshuang stared at the young woman and asked, “How is she?”

The old man explained, “Young Clan Master has awakened the bloodline from hell, and she’s already at the peak Time Immortal Realm. She’s soon going to make a breakthrough and become a Divine Sovereign.”

Divine Sovereign! Yang Lianshuang pondered briefly before saying, “Wake her up!”

The old man flinched in surprise, and he stammered, “C-Clan Master…”

“Tell her that people are ganging up on her younger brother,” added Yang Lianshuang.

The eyes of the young woman shot wide open, revealing her crimson eyes.

She jumped up, and the starry skies were instantly dyed crimson. A violent and fierce killing intent pervaded the vast expanse. The young woman’s eyes depicted what looked like a crimson sea of blood, and her hair was also dyed crimson, making her look like a death god from hell.

Yang Lianshuang’s expression turned serious.

The young woman turned toward Yang Lianshuang, and she sounded indifferent as she asked, “People are ganging up on him?”

Yang Lianshuang nodded.

The young woman’s expression remained indifferent as she cursed, “I’ll fuck them up!”

Boom!

A resounding explosion echoed as the young woman turned into a crimson beam of light that streaked across the vast expanse.
