I Have A Sword

Chapter 360: Three Swords!

Ye Guan's expression became unusually solemn. The newcomer’s aura was even stronger than the Battle Sovereign. White Skirt Qing’er pulled Ye Guan behind her and smiled before saying, "Don't be afraid. Auntie's here, so no one can bully you!"

Warmth filled Ye Guan's heart. He thought he had reached the pinnacle of life upon inheriting the family assets. Little did he know that he would have to face challenges every day. His life had become so fast-paced that it was stressful and exhausting.

Fortunately, the Yang family members and his aunts were there to help him when he needed it. As the formidable aura started to materialize, the starry sky started to crumble. The starry sky here couldn't withstand the newcomer's power.

Ye Guan stared into the distance, his expression extremely serious. Could it be the Eternal Sovereign?

Ye Guan swept his gaze across the starry sky, and he caught a glimpse of a man approaching them. The man wore plain silk clothes and a simple crown; his eyes were a peculiar crimson color. The green ancient scroll in his arms seemed out of place, considering his burly figure.

Ye Guan frowned; the newcomer wasn't the Eternal Sovereign. A thought jumped to his head, and he turned to look at Jingchen, only to see them all filled with puzzlement.

Ye Guan was shocked. Even the elites of the Eternal Civilization were unfamiliar with the man? The Battle Sovereign mirrored his confusion, staring at the stranger with a furrowed brow. Clearly, nobody knew the man's identity.

High above in the starry sky, the Unfettered Swordsman glanced briefly at the newcomer before shaking his head with a hint of disdain. Too weak.

The man's gaze fell on Ye Guan. He smiled and asked, "Are you Ye Guan?"

Ye Guan responded carefully, "Who might you be?"

The man chuckled and replied, "Shen Yijin. Ever heard of me?"

Ye Guan shook his head.

Shen Yijin continued with a light-hearted tone of voice, "Not surprising. We're not exactly from the same era."

Curious, Ye Guan asked, "You're not part of the Eternal Civilization?"

Shen Yijin replied, "No.”

Perplexed, Ye Guan asked, "Then why are you here?"

Shen Yijin stared deeply at Ye Guan and said, "I heard that the Dao Imprint of the Great Daoist Brush Master is on you. Is it true?"

He's here for the Dao Imprint? Ye Guan cast a deep gaze upon Shen Yijin before replying, "Yes, it is indeed on me."

Shen Yijin smiled blandly and asked, "Can you give it to me?"

Ye Guan pondered briefly before asking, "If I refuse, are you going to take it forcefully?"

Shen Yijin burst into hearty laughter. "What do you think?"

Ye Guan sounded serious as he said, "You're not from the Eternal Civilization, so you should be an elite from a different civilization. I think we can work together.”

Shen Yijin was stunned. He then chuckled and asked, "You want us to work together?"

Ye Guan stared at Shen Yijin, saying, "If you feel that cooperating with me would be an insult or that the Guanxuan Universe is not qualified to collaborate with you, then I can only tell you to make your move."

Shen Yijin's gaze didn't leave Ye Guan as the smile on his lips faded away.

Ye Guan added, "Forgive my bluntness, but I don't have a good impression of elites from the civilizations of the past eras! Why? Because each and every single one of you is arrogant, or rather, foolish. Like the Clan Leader of the Heaven Seizing Clan, Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao!”

"Young Master Ye!" a roar echoed from the starry sky.

Ye Guan turned and saw a middle-aged man.

He was none other than Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao.

Ye Guan was astonished. Why is he here?

Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao stared at Ye Guan and said, "Speaking ill of others behind their backs is not what a gentleman does."

Ye Guan was speechless, but he quickly replied, "Speaking ill of others behind their backs is indeed a bad habit, but I wasn't lying."

Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao’s face turned ugly. He then transmitted, "Young Master Ye, we're enemies, but I respect you and your aunt. Respecting one's opponent is respecting oneself, don't you think so?"

Ye Guan made a sidelong glance at Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao before saying, "All right, I'll give Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao a face and won't use you as an example."

Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao visibly relaxed.

He cupped his fist and said, "Thank you."

His presence here was certainly not a coincidence. Upon learning about the conflict between the Eternal Civilization and the Guanxuan Universe, he threw everything aside and rushed over here.

As an elite from the Divine Dao Civilization era, he once followed the Great Daoist Brush Master, so he knew a lot about the Eternal Sovereign, so he rushed over in excitement. However, he didn't think that Ye Guan would backstab him.

What the heck? Wasn't that defamation?

Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao couldn't take it and decided to step out of the shadows to speak. In the end, he truly cared a lot about his reputation.

Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao seemed to have realized something as he transmitted, "Shen Yijin is a Cosmic Spirit from the early days of the Divine Dao Civilization. His strength is beyond Great Destiny Sovereigns. The Great Daoist Brush Master suppressed him because he wanted to reset the universe."

He wasn't showing any weaknesses here. He just felt that he had to repay Ye Guan for his decision to respect the former. It wasn't a display of weakness, and he certainly wasn't going to surrender to Ye Guan!

Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao repeated in his mind.

Ye Guan glanced at Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao before turning to Shen Yijin, saying, "I know that you were an extraordinary figure in the era of the Divine Dao Civilization. Now that you've emerged and the Great Daoist Brush Master is not around, you definitely have great confidence in yourself.

"You probably think that you're invincible here. Against someone like me without strength, background, and—"

Smack!

Ye Guan's speech was interrupted by An Nanjing smacking his head.

"Watch your words,” she snapped.

Ye Guan smiled wryly before continuing. "In other words, I'm sure you aren't taking anyone here seriously because it hasn't been that long since you've emerged, but I have a suggestion.

"You should investigate me first before making a move against me and becoming an enemy of the Guanxuan Universe. You'd best investigate the Guanxuan Universe as well."

Ye Guan sighed once he was done, but he was inwardly cursing. He couldn't believe that he was getting worried about the villain. His current lifestyle was indeed extremely exhausting.

Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao was quiet upon hearing Ye Guan's words. His attitude had been similar to the Eternal Sovereign and Shen Yijin the moment he had reincarnated. He truly thought that he was invincible, as the Great Daoist Brush Master had gone missing.

A prideful individual would have to face great calamities. He had suffered the consequences of his own arrogance, which almost led to the extermination of his own clan; he even almost lost his life.

Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao sighed deeply, and he cast a resentful gaze at Ye Guan upon recalling something.

If Ye Guan had said these words to him back then, given his unparalleled wisdom, he would surely have listened to Ye Guan. His plight was all Ye Guan's fault! He had such a powerful background, but he had chosen to hide it, which made Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao think that he was an easy pick.

Shen Yijin chuckled upon hearing Ye Guan's words. "I understand what you're trying to say. You are saying that Guanxuan Universe is very strong, and you have people supporting you, right?”

Ye Guan was quiet.

Shen Yijin erupted into a peal of uproarious laughter before saying, "I admit that what you said makes sense. When making enemies, one should indeed investigate the target's strength and background beforehand to avoid provoking someone invincible and bringing about one's own demise, but..."

"No, wait, I want to say the same thing to you. "Do you even know who I am?" Shen Yijin pointed at himself and said, "Do you know how strong I am?"

Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao's brows furrowed, and he glanced at Shen Yijin with disbelief. He had never encountered such a dumbass throughout his life.

Ye Guan sighed at Shen Yijin's words. He sounded helpless as he said, "You villains are truly reckless. Can you guys stop being so reckless? I'm getting really exhausted just dealing with you guys."

Ye Guan felt like he could finally understand why his father had become the king of relying on others. He had no choice but to become the king of relying on others because of the villains with the same mindset as Shen Yijin.

Ye Guan no longer bothered with Shen Yijin and retreated behind An Nanjing and his two aunts.

Shen Yijin's eyes narrowed, and a cold light shimmered in his eyes.

Meanwhile, White Skirt Qing’er ruffled Ye Guan's head and said with a smile, "Little one, the majority of people in this world are arrogant. They're like frogs in a well that knows nothing of the boundless sea. They're ignorant people in a closed loop where they think they're invincible.

"She wanted to show you her strength by conducting a slaughter in front of you. It is a great way for you to remain humble throughout your journey. Since she's your goal, you'll be constantly reminded of just how insignificant you are compared to her, which will be the fuel that will motivate you to continue your arduous journey.

"It's the best way to shatter the closed loop where you've been living the whole time so that you'll become capable of consistently overcoming yourself and going beyond your limits."

Ye Guan pondered for quite a while before saying, "I understand."

White Skirt Qing’er glanced at Shen Yijin before saying, "You shouldn't even bother to speak reasonably with such people, especially when they harbor hostility toward you. You should think about how you can kill them rather than how you can squeeze your way out of the pinch with words.

"Oftentimes, the blade of the sword is more effective than words and attempting to talk reasonably with them might not be as effective as hitting them once. Once you've hit them, they'll understand what you're trying to say.

"Your plain-skirt aunt is well aware of this, so she never bothers about talking reasonably with such people. Of course, she doesn't even allow them to speak in the first place.”

Ye Guan nodded and replied, "I understand."

White Skirt Qing’er smiled and asked, "Want to see me go on a killing spree?"

Ye Guan was stunned, but he quickly nodded.

White Skirt Qing’er gently ruffled Ye Guan's hair and replied, "I'm not as strong as your aunt Qingqiu or your plain-skirt aunt, and I need to use external tools. I don’t really like to use them, but I can make an exception today for you.”

She then looked up and opened her right hand.

"Please lend me a sword, seniors," she said with a smile.

Hum!

A resonant sword hum echoed across the starry sky, and a sword landed in White Skirt Qing’er’s hands.

The Path Sword!

Ye Guan was stupefied; he didn't expect the Path Sword to come here.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

The Qingxuan Sword and the Sword Precursor flew out of Little White and hovered in front of White Skirt Qing’er. The three swords had gathered, allowing White Skirt Qing'er to choose one of them to wield!
