Chapter 1662: Move and You Will Die

The Tuogu Clan was shocked. Then, it was immediately thrown into chaos.

Their civilization's destiny was rapidly collapsing...

Their ancestors were buried in the forbidden ground because it contained the core of their civilization's destiny. The ancestors were meant to control and stabilize it for the sake of protecting and supporting the Tuogu Clan.

Now, the ancestors could no longer control it.

The civilization's destiny was collapsing.

Damn it!

Someone was sabotaging the Tuogu Clan!

Soon, powerful beings began divinations to uncover the hidden enemy working against them. Above the entire clan, countless fate and karma threads emerged, intertwining through the skies, but they were all blurred and indistinct.

As a Super Divine Civilization, the Tuogu Clan's powerhouses were formidable. Soon, one karmic thread was forcibly pulled out from the mass. It was pitch black—dark as ink!

Moments later, a roar echoed through the skies of the Tuogu Clan. "Damn it! This is a karmic thread of one of our own clan members... Fuck! We have a traitor! A traitor within the Tuogu Clan! Damn it all!"

The Tuogu Clan was dumbfounded.

***

Tuogu Yuan's face was beyond pale.

He had hoped to use the prestige of the Tuogu Clan to protect Ye Guan. However, he never expected that one of the core disciples from the Tuogu Clan's main family would be present here...

Naturally, he didn't recognize any core disciples because he was never even allowed to enter the Tuogu Clan's main territory. Since birth, he had no status to speak of. He didn't know any of the central figures.

As for the Tuogu Clan, they had always ignored remote branches like his. The clan viewed such bloodlines as diluted and impure and hardly even considered them true Tuogu anymore.

Even so, Tuogu Yuan had always taken pride in the Tuogu name. Since childhood, they believed they were part of the clan. They hoped that one day, through hard work, they would be recognized and accepted by the main family.

He had just been stripped of the name! It wasn't just him, but his entire branch had been expelled from the clan.

His mind went blank.

What now?

He was confused and lost.

He had always been proud of the surname "Tuogu," but now, it was torn away from him, and he ended up dragging his entire branch with him..

For a moment, he was at a loss for words.

Around him, onlookers burst into laughter, their laughter sharp and cutting.

Ling Lie even mocked him, saying, "A branch family bumps into the main family and can't even recognize them... that's hilarious!"

He then looked at Ye Guan and laughed again, "And you...Tuogu Yang Guan? You think you deserve the name Tuogu?"

Ye Guan ignored Ling Lie. Instead, he walked up to Tuogu Yuan, whose face was pale.

Ye Guan smiled and said, "You've been expelled? Then go form your own clan."

Tuogu Yuan slowly lifted his head and looked at Ye Guan. He bitterly said, "Brother Yang, I'm sorry... I dragged you into this joke."

Ye Guan shook his head. "There's nothing to be sorry about. I know your intentions were good."

Tuogu Yuan sighed deeply, "I'm now the disgrace of my clan...a joke to everyone..."

Ye Guan seriously replied, "Brother Tuogu, don't think that way. It's not your loss; it's their loss for rejecting you."

Tuogu Yuan smiled bitterly. He knew Ye Guan was trying to comfort him. "A loss?"

𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Not far away, Ling Lie burst into laughter again. "What a joke..."

Just then, Ye Guan suddenly turned and looked at Ling Lie. "Kneel!"

Thud!

Before anyone could react, Ling Lie's legs gave out, and he fell to his knees. The force of it even dented the space beneath him.

Everyone was shocked, all staring at Ye Guan as if he were a ghost.

Wuyun Zai and Yang Seng also looked at Ye Guan with astonishment.

Even Nan Zhao's eyes narrowed with wariness.

The smile on Tuogu Lin's face disappeared. The onlookers also went silent, and their faces turned stern.

Ling Lie wasn't weak; he was close to breaking into the Divine Realm.

Despite that, he was forced to his knees with a single word.

Who exactly was the man in the dark robes?

Ling Lie was utterly stunned. He didn't even know how he ended up kneeling. The scariest part was that he couldn't resist at all. Just now, he felt a power that was far beyond his own Dao—a Great Dao suppression!

And it wasn't just an ordinary suppression; it felt like he and Ye Guan didn't even exist in the same spacetime. It was as if Ye Guan had already crushed him in some future moment, and that pressure retroactively caused him to kneel.

He tried to stand but was horrified to find that he couldn't. The suppressing Dao felt like millions of mountains pressing down on him. He couldn't even muster the will to resist.

In that moment, he was truly afraid.

He realized he'd picked a fight with someone who had been playing weak all along.

Ling Lie looked at Ye Guan. Now, he didn't dare say anything more. To keep his life, he just stayed kneeling and watched.

Tuogu Yuan and Xiao Yuanqi were equally stunned.

They had never imagined that Ye Guan's strength was this outrageous.

This guy had really been pretending to be weak!

The only ones who remained calm were the Mu siblings. Back then, the entire younger generation of the Stellar Civilization ganged up on Ye Guan and still couldn't beat him.

Their brother was a Circle Breaker!

Outside of the five Supreme Civilizations' monstrous geniuses, they doubted anyone in the younger generation could match him.

"Who are you, really?!" Tuogu Lin suddenly shouted, staring hard at Ye Guan.

Ye Guan's strength had far exceeded his expectations. What troubled him even more was that he couldn't see through Ye Guan's cultivation level at all.

That made him realize something wasn't right. There were always people who liked to pretend to be weak for fun—but even so, he wasn't truly afraid. Because aside from the five Supreme Civilizations, there were very few people even the Tuogu Clan feared.

And this man in black robes... didn't seem to be from any of those.

But Ye Guan didn't even look at him. Instead, he turned to Mu Xinghe and the others and said, "Let's go."

Go?

Everyone froze for a moment.

Ye Guan smiled. "Let's go."

Mu Xinghe hesitated, then asked, "Bro... we're just going to leave... Are we not even going to acknowledge them?"

Everyone was speechless.

Ye Guan nodded with a smile. "How else would you like to leave?"

Mu Xinghe glanced at the group still surrounding them but said nothing more.

Ye Guan raised his head, looked at the surrounding crowd, and calmly said, "Move and you will die."

"I'm not joking," he added.

Everyone was dumbfounded.
