I Have A Sword

Chapter 352: Little White’s Sword Light

Nalan Jia was somewhat surprised.

She didn't expect the Sovereign Xue to come looking for her.

The two beautiful women stared at each other without saying anything. After a while, Sovereign Xue lowered her head and muttered, "You're really beautiful. No wonder he likes you so much."

With that, she turned and walked away.

Nalan Jia cried out, "Lady Xue!"

Nangong Xue halted and turned to look at Nalan Jia. "You know me?"

Nalan Jia nodded. "Yes."

Nangong Xue gazed at Nalan Jia and calmly asked, "Do you have something to say?"

Nalan Jia wanted to say something, but she found that nothing she wanted to say seemed appropriate.

Nangong Xue turned away and muttered, "I came here to see his wife. Miss Nalan, you're really beautiful. I even find you beautiful, even though I'm a woman."

She then turned around and left.

Nalan Jia called out, “Lady Xue, please wait a moment.”

Nangong Xue stopped and turned to look at her, waiting for her to continue speaking.

Nalan Jia walked toward Nangong Xue with a complicated expression and said, “Lady Xue, I know a bit about what happened between the two of you. How do you think he treated you?”

Nangong Xue looked at Nalan Jia, “Is that still important?”

Nalan Jia exclaimed, “He likes you!”

Nangong Xue clenched her hands, and her icy gaze trembled. However, the trembling quickly abated as she shook her head with a tinge of sorrow and said, "But he chose you..."

"Lady Xue, if you don't mind, can you tell me if you still have feelings for him?"

Nangong Xue fell into silence.

She couldn't answer the question.

However, one thing was for sure—she couldn't quite forget him no matter how hard she tried to focus on cultivation. She had even refused the Eternal Civilization's offer to join them upon learning that they were planning to attack the Guanxuan Universe.

She was angry at him, but she didn't hate him at all. He hadn't done anything wrong, after all.

Nalan Jia stared at Nangong Xue before asking, "He had someone notify you to leave the Chaotic Star World before we came here, right?"

Nangong Xue froze and asked, “How did you know?”

Indeed, the reason she knew that Nalan Jia was here was that Ye Guan had told her that they would bombard the Chaotic Star World.

Nalan Jia sighed softly, and her expression was complex as she said, "Lady Xue, to be honest, my feelings are incredibly complicated toward you. It would have been fine if he didn't like you, but he does like you..."

Nangong Xue lowered her head slightly and said, "Miss Nalan, I had no idea that he was already married. If I had known..."

Nalan Jia looked at Nangong Xue and said, "Lady Xue, Little Guan is great at everything aside from the fact that he's so indecisive when it comes to matters of the heart..."

Nalan Jia shook her head at that and corrected herself. "No, wait, that's wrong. How can such a smart person not see through a woman's feelings? If he really likes someone, how many can resist his charm? He probably pretended to be ignorant of your feelings because he loves me and is afraid of hurting my feelings."

Nangong Xue looked at Nalan Jia in astonishment and asked, "How many women does he like?"

Nalan Jia felt aggrieved as she exclaimed, “There are quite a few of them! Qianqian, Jix Xuan, Nanling Yiyi and that Bawan from the True Universe...

"He has also gotten a bit too close to the Adjudication Sword Master. He thinks that I don’t know, but I actually know everything!”

"Yes, I know everything!" Nalan Jia smiled and asked, “Are you shocked?”

Nangong Xue nodded hastily and stammered, “I-I... he...”

Nalan Jia stared deeply at Nangong Xue and asked, "Do you still like him?"

Nangong Xue looked down at the ground and said, "Miss Nalan, you're so beautiful that I feel inferior in front of you. Your husband must have accumulated a ton of good karma in his past life, and if I were him, I would devote myself to you without looking at any other women, so...

"How come he likes so many women? He's changing preferences like changing clothes..."

Nalan Jia calmly replied, "He still likes you."

Nangong Xue blushed instantly and stammered, "That's—I-I..."

Nalan Jia sighed softly, "If it were possible, it would be great if he remained devoted to me. Isn't that every woman's wish? However, his heart is fickle, so what can I do? I thought about leaving him, but... I just can't do it."

Nangong Xue looked at Nalan Jia in front of her, a sense of sympathy welling up in her heart. The coldness she had felt earlier had long disappeared without a trace.

Nalan Jia suddenly asked, "Lady Xue, have you and him...?"

“No, no!”

Nangong Xue blushed like a piece of tomato, and she waved her hands frantically as she hurriedly explained, "I haven't done that with him. Really! I like him, but I wouldn't do that before marriage... Ah, speaking of that—wait, why am I saying these things?!"

Looking at the charming and lovely Nangong Xue, Nalan Jia shook her head and smiled. The bitterness in her heart was assuaged ever so slightly. "Lady Xue, I was just asking."

Nangong Xue lowered her head slightly, unable to look directly at Nalan Jia.

"Miss Nalan, your questions... are really scary," she remarked with a furious blush.

Nalan Jia sighed softly and said, "The Guanxuan Universe is about to face the Eternal Civilization, and the True Universe is lurking in the shadows. Who can say for sure if we'll live to see another day? Lady Xue, take care."

With that, Nalan Jia turned around to leave.

Nangong Xue suddenly said, "Miss Nalan! If you don't mind, I'm willing to help the Guanxuan Universe."

Nalan Jia was astonished. "Lady Xue, you..."

Nangong Xue smiled and said, “I'm a Great Destiny Sovereign, so I'm a bit strong.”

Nalan Jia thought for a moment before saying, "The Chaotic Star World is no longer habitable, so how about you take your disciples to the Guanxuan Universe? What do you think, Lady Xue?"

Nangong Xue hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Okay."

Nalan Jia smiled and said, "Go ahead and lead your people to the Guanxuan Universe, then. Once you've settled down, you can join the Guanxuan Committee if you're willing. I'm in need of manpower, so I'd really appreciate your help."

Nangong Xue's hands clenched. She was moved by the offer, but she still had some concerns. She surreptitiously glanced at Nalan Jia's gaze, and she relaxed upon seeing Nalan Jia's sincere gaze.

"Okay!" she said with a nod.

"I'll see you in the Guanxuan Universe, then!" Nalan Jia replied.

Nangong Xue nodded and said, "Miss Nalan, take care."

With that, she turned into a beam of white light that disappeared into the starry sky.

Left all alone, Nalan Jia shook her head and sighed, feeling slightly sour.

Ye Guan was fickle, but he wasn't a true womanizer. In other words, he was making her worry about his women when he was supposed to deal with them himself.

Nalan Jia sighed once more before turning around to leave.

...

The remaining cultivators of the Eternal Civilization appeared next to Jingchen. Nalan Jia's attack just now was formidable, but cultivators above the Divine Sovereign Realm were akin to cockroaches—incredibly difficult to kill.

Jingchen's face was extremely ugly.

He glared at Ye Guan and his group. He truly didn't expect that the Guanxuan Universe would attack their world rather than them. The battle had yet to begin, but they were already without a home.

Jingchen roared, "Your Guanxuan Universe will pay—"

"Shut up!"

Swoosh!

A beam of light flew toward Jingchen.

Jingchen smirked maliciously before stepping out with a punch.

He had decided to fight!

Boom!

Jingchen was blasted a few kilometers away. A powerful shockwave spread in all directions, blasting the surrounding cultivators away. The residual spear might of the spear that had struck Jingchen was extremely horrifying.

Jingchen looked down at his arm in disbelief. He looked up at An Nanjing and was about to speak when An Nanjing vanished.

Boom!

A towering spear might swept toward him. Jingchen felt suffocated. All traces of contempt toward the Guanxuan Universe vanished, and he rushed at An Nanjing with a black rod in hand.

He swung the black rod, creating a myriad of shadows that looked similar to the rod.

An Nanjing thrust her spear forward and—

Bang!

The shadows were vanquished, and the backlash sent Jingchen flying. Every inch of space that collided with his body disintegrated as he flew across the starry sky, creating a terrifying sight.

The Eternal Civilization cultivators wore solemn expressions at the sight.

Even Ye Guan himself was somewhat astonished. He thought that An Nanjing would have difficulties facing a Great Destiny Sovereign, but it turned out that An Nanjing was capable of suppressing Great Destiny Sovereigns and in a head-on fight at that!

Kingchen's right arm was torn open, and blood incessantly seeped out of the wound.

Jingchen cast an icy gaze upon An Nanjing and said, "So you're strong, huh? What's the use of your strength if we gang up on you? Everyone, let's attack her together!"

Upon realizing that he couldn't beat An Nanjing in a one-on-one fight, he decisively chose to gang up on her with the others. The eleven Great Destiny Sovereigns in Jingchen's group rushed toward An Nanjing and the others.

In terms of numbers, An Nanjing and the others were at a disadvantage.

The Eternal Civilization had thirteen Great Destiny Sovereigns, hundreds of Great Time Sovereigns, a few hundred Great Sovereigns, and thousands of Divine Sovereigns.

The Guanxuan Universe was indeed too weak to compare to such a terrifying lineup.

To make matters worse, Jingchen's command allowed every single one of them to let loose. Why fight one-on-one when they could gang up on their enemies and overwhelm them with their numbers?

An Nanjing didn't choose to face them head-on.

She retreated to Ye Guan's side and turned to look at Little White.

"Little White, go." she urged.

Little White is going? Ye Guan was momentarily stunned. This brat can take them on?

He was convinced that An Nanjing had something up her sleeve, which was the reason she dared to bring only a handful of people here. However, the fact that An Nanjing's trump card was Little White had truly caught Ye Guan off guard.

Is it a joke? he thought to himself. He wasn't looking down on Little White. In fact, he was scared of Little White. Little White had almost killed him twice. It wasn't on purpose, of course, but there were many times he thought that Little White was an enemy spy!

Little White grinned at An Nanjing's words. She took to the sky and put both of her claws parallel to each other. Soon, a strand of sword light manifested between her tiny claws.

Ye Guan relaxed upon seeing the strand of sword light. He was getting to run, afraid that Little White would pull out a bomb. He sighed in relief upon seeing the strand of sword light, but he was confused at the same time.

Was this little fellow trying to become a swordsman?

The Eternal Civilization cultivators didn't take her seriously at all.

Little White suddenly pointed with her left claw.“Boom!”

The strand of sword light flew toward the Eternal Civilization cultivators, but they didn't think too much of it. Little White was just too cute, so they were convinced that she was harmless.

The way she was holding the strand of sword light made her look very cute—no, she just had to exist, and she would be considered extremely cute.

However, Zhan Shi had a different idea. He noticed something amiss, and his expression changed drastically as he ran to the other side while shouting, "Retreat!"

Retreat?

The faces of the Great Destiny Sovereigns' changed dramatically. They felt something amiss, and their hearts were gripped by anxiety. They could finally feel it—they were in mortal danger.

The Great Destiny Sovereigns decisively ran to the other side, but some were less fortunate.

Swoosh!

The sword light swept past the Eternal Civilization cultivators, annihilating nearly a hundred Great Sovereigns and thousands of Divine Sovereigns. Despite that, the strand of sword light remained strong. It continued flying into the depths of the starry sky.

Thousands of corpses were strewn across the starry sky, and their blood poured down like rain. The remaining Eternal Civilization cultivators were stunned, and they were instantly filled with overwhelming fear and uncertainty.

Ye Guan was stupefied as well. He turned to Little White and became certain that the strand of sword light didn't belong to Little White. Little White only knew how to play with bombs. There was no way that strand of sword light belonged to her!

The cogs in Ye Guan's mind turned, and he quickly deduced that his grandfather had to have left it behind for Little White. Now, the issue was that Ye Guan had no idea if Little White still had a few more strands of that sword light.

An Nanjing looked at the terrified Jingchen in the distance and calmly said, "What's the use of having many people?"

Jingchen was extremely horrified.

A mere strand of sword light had annihilated half of their forces!

Who was the owner of that sword light?

Jingchen was flustered. The Guanxuan Universe still had hidden supreme elites? If all of them were on the same level as the owner of that strand of sword light. What were they supposed to do?

The Eternal Civilization cultivators looked at each other with uncertainty.

Evidently, the strand of sword light had left them in great shock.

Zhan Shi suddenly glared at Little White and asked, "Do you still have more?"

Little White blinked before taking out an egg-shaped object the size of a watermelon.

Ye Guan's face instantly changed. He hurriedly ran away, afraid that he would get hit.

Zhan Shi and the others sighed in relief upon seeing the egg-shaped object the size of a watermelon. They believed that they would be fine so long as she wouldn't take out another strand of that sword light.

Just then, a Great Destiny Sovereign suddenly said, "She's a Spirit Progenitor!"

A Spirit Progenitor!

All eyes fell on Little White. The strand of sword light had scared them witless, and they had inadvertently ignored Little White herself. Upon taking a closer look at Little White, they realized that the seemingly harmless creature in front of them was actually a Spirit Progenitor!

Spirit Progenitors were controllers of spiritual energy, and they were highly sought-after.

The Eternal Civilization cultivators stared at Little White with a greedy glint in their eyes.

Meanwhile, Sovereign Gu turned to Jingchen and muttered, "Jingchen, this matter isn't as simple as it seems."

Jingchen was silent. Sovereign Gu didn't have to tell him for him to know that the waters of the Guanxuan Universe were deeper than they initially thought.

A mere strand of sword light had annihilated half of their forces in the truest sense of the word. In other words, those people couldn't be revived.

Sovereign Gu continued. "We've greatly underestimated the strength of the Guanxuan Universe. I'm sure they have more supreme elites hiding in the shadows."

Jingchen looked at Sovereign Gu and asked, "In your opinion, what should we do?"

Sovereign Gu spoke with a heavy tone of voice, "We should retreat first."

Jingchen shook his head and said, “We'll become a laughingstock if we retreat.”

Sovereign Gu frowned slightly and lampooned inwardly. Does reputation even matter at this point?

“We also have nowhere to go!” Jingchen pointed out. The Chaotic Star World was no longer habitable, so where were they supposed to retreat?

Sovereign Gu sighed under his breath. His instinct was screaming at him that if they didn't retreat, they would eventually find themselves in a world of hurt.

They were strong, but they were supposed to prioritize stability before expansion. After all, they had just been unsealed. To make matters worse, they underestimated the Guanxuan Universe and failed to make an accurate assessment of it. They were careless, and they had just paid the price for that grave mistake.

Jingchen made a sidelong glance at Little White and said, “I believe that she has run out of that sword light."

Little White noticed Jingchen's gaze and blinked. She drew a circle with her tiny claw, and then she used her right claw to pat it before making a twisting gesture.

Everyone was confused.

Ye Guan walked up to Erya and asked curiously, “What did she say?”

Erya licked her candied hawthorn before replying, “Jump, sing, and play ball.”

Ye Guan froze and went silent.

Little White blinked and hopped onto Erya's shoulder. She rubbed her face on Erya’s face while waving her claws, seemingly expressing herself.

Just then, Jingchen flinched and shouted, “Let’s go to the Guanxuan Universe!”

The Eternal Civilization cultivators turned to look at Jingchen.

Jingchen stared at Ye Guan and said, “Let’s move this battle to the Guanxuan Universe!”

The Eternal Civilization cultivators looked at each other and nodded.

Jingchen added, “Avoid that white beast at all costs. We can't say for sure whether she still has more of that sword light or not, so avoid her while making a beeline for the Guanxuan Universe. Let's go! Let's go to the Guanxuan Universe!”

Jingchen transformed into a multi-colored ray of light that vanished into the starry sky.

The Eternal Civilization cultivators followed closely behind him.
