Chapter 207: You Have Divine Spirits, We Have Swords!

Ye Guan was quite shocked. They still had more people?

It seemed like he underestimated his family’s strength. Now, he was wondering if he had the weakest network in his family.[1].

“Don’t worry!” said Little Pagoda. “Your aunts aren’t here yet, and the real fun begins once they’re here.”

Ye Guan was basically abandoned to grow up by himself, and his family wouldn’t intervene in his matters, but there were conditions set in place before the decision to let Ye Guan develop by himself was made.

One of the conditions was that the True Universe couldn’t be allowed to bully Ye Guan. If the True Universe were to send their elites to kill Ye Guan, the elites affiliated with Ye Guan’s family would appear to protect him.

If a True God were to appear, Little Pagoda would whip out his three swords.

A battle between elites? Who would dare to fight the Yang Family if it decided to step forward with all of its elites in tow?

Ye Guan suddenly asked, “My aunts?"

“Yep, you have many aunts—much more numerous than you think,” Little Pagoda answered, “You’ll know them sooner or later.”

Ye Guan was about to start asking questions when a middle-aged man wearing a white shirt walked out of the spacetime tunnel above them.

The middle-aged man’s overwhelming aura made even the starry skies tremble.

The middle-aged man was a Divine Sovereign.

A blanket of solemness draped heavily on the crowd behind Ye Guan. Even though they were about ten kilometers away from the middle-aged man, the latter’s powerful aura still made them feel suffocated.

The True World was insane!

They actually sent so many Divine Sovereigns just to kill Ye Guan.

Wu Lao’s expression was extremely ugly. The Immortal Treasures Pavilion was the least involved in the whole predicament so far. He was supposed to protect and escort Ye Guan to safety, but now, there was nothing much that he could do.

He felt helpless.

Qin Guan had many things in store for Ye Guan, but they were all in the Eternal World. The Immortal Treasures Pavilion’s power was concentrated in the Eternal World.

Wu Lao also couldn’t use any of his trump cards to help.

Wu Lao got closer to Ye Guan and whispered, “Young Master, we should make a beeline for the Eternal World once the opportunity presents itself. Your mother left many things for you there.”

For me? Ye Guan turned toward Wu Lao.

Wu Lao explained, “No one can harm you once we’re in the Eternal World.”

Ye Guan looked at Ruler An in the distance. Evidently, Ruler An was trying her best to stop him from reaching the Eternal World.

The middle-aged man wearing a white shirt glanced at An Nanjing before bowing respectfully toward Ruler An.

He bowed to her! Ye Guan’s eyes narrowed. What was Ruler An’s background?

To think that a Divine Sovereign would be so subservient to her

Ruler An calmly asked, “Is it just you?”

“Haha!”

Just then, a peal of boisterous laughter echoed from the spacetime tunnel.

A tall, burly middle-aged man soon strode out of the rift.

He was naked aside from his lower body, seemingly in an effort to show off his burly figure. His muscles were packed with mysterious, inscrutable runes, making him appear terrifying at first impression.

There’s one more Divine Sovereign? Ye Guan’s expression darkened.

Weren’t Divine Sovereigns supposed to be rare even in the True World?

Why were there so many Divine Sovereigns here?

The tall and burly middle-aged man bowed respectfully toward Ruler An.

“Greetings, Ruler An…” he muttered. He couldn’t afford to offend the young woman, as she was famous for having a short fuse.

Ruler An nodded slightly and asked, “What about the other Divine Sovereigns? Have they decided to disregard my orders?”

The tall and burly middle-aged man replied, “They might take a while.”

Ruler An went silent.

The tall and burly middle-aged man went silent as well, but he looked nervous. He glanced at An Nanjing in the distance and smiled.

“Let me test her out,” he said.

The tall and burly middle-aged man stepped forward and punched out. His fist created powerful explosions that rocketed toward An Nanjing. Ripples spread throughout the starry skies as the tall and burly middle-aged man attacked.

The fist contained enough power to collapse worlds, but An Nanjing remained calm and composed. She stepped forward and took a stance with her spear before brandishing it at the oncoming fist.

The tall and burly middle-aged man was blasted a few kilometers away. When he stopped, his right hand was split open, and blood was gushing out of his wound. He was completely flabbergasted. He didn’t expect that An Nanjing would be so strong.

However, An Nanjing didn’t chase after him. She stayed by Ye Guan’s side. She still couldn’t bring herself to trust Little Pagoda. It wasn’t really strange, as a catastrophe almost happened when she decided to trust Little Pagoda earlier.

Ruler An glared at An Nanjing with a solemn look.

An Nanjing was much stronger than a Divine Sovereign.

Ruler An reckoned that not even twenty Divine Sovereigns could defeat An Nanjing.

Ruler An had made that chilling discovery when she realized that An Nanjing had never really used the full extent of her prowess.

Ruler An’s expression grew even more solemn as time went on.

Meanwhile, the tall and burly middle-aged man was about to make another move.

“Stay still,” said Ruler An, interrupting the tall and burly middle-aged man.

The tall and burly middle-aged man looked at Ruler An.

Ruler An explained, “She’s a Martial Goddess; you’re not her opponent.”

A Martial Goddess!

The tall and burly middle-aged man’s voice deepened, and he said defiantly, “I’ve killed quite a few Martial Gods and Goddesses in the other universes.”

Ruler An glanced deeply at the tall and burly middle-aged man before saying, “If you really want to try, then go ahead and try her.’’

The tall and burly middle-aged man looked troubled upon hearing that.

An Nanjing had injured him in just one exchange, after all. It was a clear sign that he wasn’t An Nanjing’s match, which came as a surprise. He had to admit that he truly didn’t expect to see such a powerful Martial God from the Guanxuan Universe.

“Let’s just wait,” Ruler An said, “We’ll soon overwhelm them with numbers.”

They couldn’t beat An Nanjing one-on-one, so they decided to gang up on her.

Meanwhile, Ye Guan sounded worried as he pointed out. “Senior, they’re going to summon more Divine Sovereigns.”

An Nanjing nodded and said, “I know.”

Ye Guan gazed at her in concern, but An Nanjing remained calm.

“Our people are coming soon,” she explained.

Ye Guan asked, “Do we have at least as many people as them?”

An Nanjing shook her head. “No.”

Ye Guan went silent. He was nervous.

An Nanjing noticed that and added, “But they’re extremely powerful.”

Rumble!

The spacetime tunnel overhead stirred once more as an old man wearing an oversized black robe emerged from the spacetime tunnel. The old man’s hands were hidden in his sleeves, and his gaze was particularly piercing.

Upon arrival, he immediately walked toward Ruler An.

Ruler An glanced at the black-robed old man and asked, “Where are your friends?”

The black-robed old man calmly replied, “They’ll soon be here.”

Ruler An nodded slightly before pointing at Ye Guan.

“Our main objective is to kill him—to kill that handsome young man over there. I’ll think of a way to distract the Martial Goddess next to him. All of you should target him. We only have one chance to attack, so give it your best. Understood?”

The group of Divine Sovereigns glanced at Ye Guan and nodded slightly.

Ye Guan’s expression turned grim. What the hell, lady?! Are you holding a grudge toward me or something? Aren’t you going too far by sending so many Divine Sovereigns to kill me?

An Nanjing’s eyes were locked onto Ruler An.

Ruler An wanted to kill Ye Guan, while An Nanjing wanted to kill Ruler An.

Boom!

A powerful aura gushed out of the spacetime tunnel. Moments later, an old woman wearing a black robe emerged from the spacetime tunnel. She scanned the crowd coldly before walking toward Ruler An and greeting the latter.

Six Divine Sovereigns!

The crowd behind Ye Guan was beyond tense.

The True World had truly gone mad!

Ye Guan’s expression turned grim.

The True World had mobilized close to ten Divine Sovereigns.

They were also fighting three separate wars—one at the Main Guanxuan Academy, one here, and the last one at the Xuzhen World. The objective of the war at the latter site was to stop Great Sword Sovereign Ye Yu and the other elites of the Guanxuan Academy from reinforcing the powerhouses of the Guanxuan Academy.

They were fighting on multiple fronts, but the True World could still afford to send so many elites here. Evidently, the True Universe was much stronger than the Guanxuan Universe.

Ye Guan sighed to himself. He thought that he would finally be able to focus on cultivating like mad, but it seemed like he would actually go mad rather than just cultivating like mad.

Ruler An seemed to have an infinite number of elites behind her, making Ye Guan feel like going mad.

Ah! Ye Guan suddenly thought of something, and he hurriedly asked, “Master Pagoda, where is my mother’s cloth sachet?”

Little Pagoda said, “Here.”

Swoosh!

A white cloth sachet appeared in Ye Guan’s hands.

Ye Guan tried to open it, but it wouldn’t budge.

Confused, Ye Guan stared at Little Pagoda.

Little Pagoda said, “You can’t open it yet.”

Ye Guan asked, “Why not?”

“It contains something dangerous,” Little Pagoda answered, “Your mother doesn’t want you to open that haphazardly because she obviously doesn’t want to kill you.”

Ye Guan frowned slightly and asked, “Something dangerous?”

Little Pagoda replied, “It’s a bomb.”

“We’re in a dire situation.” Ye Guan’s voice deepened as he said, “Since we have such a powerful card up our sleeve, why are you saying that we shouldn’t use it? Master Pagoda, help me open it!”

He had to go all-out in situations like this.

However, Little Pagoda said, “We really can’t use it right now.”

Confused, Ye Guan asked, “We can’t use it against Divine Spirits? Is that it?”

“No,” Little Pagoda said, “The issue is that this bomb doesn’t distinguish allies from foes. It’ll engulf everyone in the immediate vicinity, so we’re all going to die if you use that right now.”

“Master Pagoda…” Ye Guan asked, “Are you fooling me again?”

Little Pagoda sounded disheartened as he said, “It’s not just me. I think even your father won’t dare to use some of the items that your mother decided to leave for you. A single misstep is enough for them to kill everyone, after all.”

Little Pagoda could still remember that particular weapon.

Goodness. It was such a terrible weapon!

If Ye Guan got his hands on it and used it without caution, what could they do by then? Damage control?

Ye Guan looked down confusedly at the cloth sachet in his hands. It actually doesn’t know how to distinguish allies from foes? Just what is it?

Wu Lao scooted over to Ye Guan and urgently said, “Yes, you can’t use it in battle until you’ve become really familiar with it.”

Wu Lao was in charge of the Martial Court, so he was well-versed in martial arts.

Meanwhile, Little Ai was extremely knowledgeable when it came to technology, and Wu Lao knew that the combination of Pavilion Master Qin and Little Ai would only result in extraordinary artifacts. In other words, anything those two had made weren’t things that Ye Guan could use readily.

Ye Guan abandoned any thoughts of opening the cloth sachet.

However, he had become even more curious about what was inside of it.

Rumble!

A powerful aura burst out of the spacetime tunnel, and a woman in a blue shirt slowly walked out of the spacetime tunnel. The woman in a blue shirt had a head full of red hair, but her eyes were cold and indifferent.

The red-headed woman glanced at An Nanjing in the distance.

Her figure blurred, and she appeared next to Ruler An.

Seven Divine Sovereigns!

The surroundings became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

Ruler An had seven Divine Sovereigns next to her.

Rumble!

The spacetime tunnel shook violently, and a cacophony of noises echoed from the tunnel. A battalion consisting of a thousand elites dressed in black armor walked out of the spacetime tunnel. Each and every one of them was wearing a black helmet with a spear in their hands.

Their appearance created a powerful shockwave that almost sent the people behind Ye Guan flying away. Thankfully, An Nanjing stepped forward and waved her sleeve, destroying the powerful shockwave and suppressing the battalion’s oppressive aura.

The battalion was composed of Ruler An’s personal guards. Ruler An opened her palm, and a pillar of golden light rushed toward the sky. It grew bigger and brighter as the seconds went on until it burst and abruptly enveloped An Nanjing.

Ruler An glared at An Nanjing and roared, “I’ll stop her myself! Go and kill Ye Guan! Don’t hold back and spare him no quarter! Kill him no matter what!”

The Divine Sovereigns rushed toward Ye Guan at once.

However, An Nanjing remained calm and composed.

Rumble!

The spacetime above Ye Guan split open, and a domineering aura seeped out of the spacetime rift.

Ye Guan’s reinforcements were here!

Comparing numbers? How bold! Who could compete with the Yang Family when it came to the number of elites?

1. He is comparing his friends and connections with his father and grandfather ☜
