Chapter 227: Wherever He Pointed, A Head Flew Off

Qin Guan was willing to let him grow on his own, but she couldn’t completely leave him to his own devices.

Lian Shuang and Zong Shou’s expressions changed at the astounding sight. An Earth Immortal Realm cultivator was just killed in the blink of an eye right in front of them.

The cultivators of the Daluo Sky Clan were flabbergasted.

An elder of their clan perished just like that?

After the initial shock, they were horrified. They could only imagine the terrifying might of the individual who had just killed an Earth Immortal Realm cultivator in the proverbial blink of an eye.

The scythe-wielding man in black vanished silently as if he had never appeared.

Ye Guan was silent. He knew the scythe-wielding man in black. He was one of the bodyguards that his mother had left for him. There were thirty-six of them, and each of them wielded scythes as their primary weapon.

They were mysterious individuals whose cultivation realms were unknown to him. All he knew was that they were very powerful.

He never expected them to take action. Ye Guan could only shake his head with a smile while feeling warm in his heart. It was really great to have such powerful parents.

“Retreat!” a Daluo Sky Clan member shouted, and they didn’t hesitate to run away. An Earth Immortal Realm powerhouse died in the blink of an eye, so how were they supposed to fight? It was better for them to run!

The cultivators of the Daluo Sky Clan quickly fled the scene.

Lian Shuang looked at Ye Guan. He hesitated before asking, “Brother Ye, was that man in black referring to you when he said Young Master?”

Zong Shou and the woman marred by a birthmark looked at Ye Guan.

Ye Guan blinked and said, “I think so?”

Lian Shuang shook his head and sighed with a complicated look.

“It seems that your background is far from ordinary,” he said.

Ye Guan smiled and pointed out. “I believe that the three of you don’t have ordinary backgrounds, either, but is that really important? I don’t think so. We met each other here, and we’re getting along. Who cares about our backgrounds? It doesn’t matter as long as we recognize each other as brothers and sisters.”

Lian Shuang smiled and said, “You’re right.”

Zong Shou nodded. “I agree.”

The woman marred by a birthmark suddenly asked, “You’re from the Guanxuan Universe, right?”

Ye Guan nodded and said, “Yes.”

The woman marred by a birthmark nodded slightly and went quiet.

The Guanxuan Universe. Lian Shuang and Zong Shou exchanged glances without saying anything, but they both knew what the light in their eyes meant.

Ye Guan didn’t say anything as he looked at Han Zong.

Han Zong’s aura had gotten abnormally strong.

The Unyielding Bones.

Lian Shuang and Zong Shou looked at Han Zong with complicated expressions. Hard work was important in life, but so was luck and opportunity. Han Zong wouldn’t have to work as hard anymore after obtaining the Unyielding Bones.

Ye Guan looked up and found peaceful skies. The scythe-wielding man in black had definitely scared away those who had come here to try and plunder the Unyielding Bones.

Of course, their reaction wasn’t really strange as the scythe-wielding man in black had instantly killed an Earth Immortal Realm cultivator.

Those daring enough to keep on fighting for the Unyielding Bones after such a display of strength would be outrageously brazen.

Boom!

A rift in space manifested, and a powerful aura seeped out of it. The aura was so powerful that spacetime itself quaked powerfully beneath its presence.

Ye Guan frowned slightly, and a sword appeared in his hand.

Lian Shuang called out, “Brother Ye, calm down. It’s the Han Clan.”

The Han Clan was here. Ye Guan was curious. How come they arrived so quickly?

However, it made perfect sense. The Han Clan had to have mobilized all of their resources to rush over here after hearing that Han Zong had obtained the Unyielding Bones.

A white-haired old man stood at the helm of the group, and the powerful aura that made even spacetime quiver powerfully had come from him. He led a group of a hundred Earth Immortal Realm cultivators along with a few hundred Immortal Realm cultivators.

There were also twelve mysterious cultivators in black robes among them, and the cultivators in black robes seemed like ghosts as they stood at the rearguard.

Ye Guan was slightly surprised to see the twelve mysterious cultivators. Their cultivation bases had to be beyond the Earth Immortal Realm.

The white-haired old man at the helm was the current clan leader of the Han Clan, Han Yun. Upon seeing Han Zong, Han Yun hesitated briefly, but his face soon lit up with wild delight. Han Yun wasn’t alone. Everyone else from the Han Clan went mad with delight.

The Unyielding Bones.

Han Zong would definitely become a part of the All Words List once he was done assimilating the Unyielding Bones, and it wouldn’t be far-fetched for him to reach first place. The Han Clan would then rise and become the Sky Department World’s top clan.

The Han Clan members scattered and surrounded Han Zong.

Han Yun roared, “Invite the ancestor!”

Boom!

A horrifying aura parted the clouds, and an illusory figure appeared between the clouds.

The remaining members of the Han Clan were still in the middle of rushing over to Mount Unyielding. Their reaction seemed excessive, but the Unyielding Bones were extremely important to the Han Clan.

They had to be extremely cautious and hold nothing back.

Ye Guan and the others breathed a sigh of relief at the sight. They could finally rest.

A black-robed old man from the Han Clan approached the group, and he stared sinisterly at them.

Ye Guan sensed the hostility, and he hurriedly smiled.

“We’re Han Zong’s friends,” he said.

The black-robed old man stared at Ye Guan and said, “Hurry up and leave.”

Ye Guan froze. He quickly composed himself and said, “We’re Han Zong’s friends, and we have been protecting him earlier.”

The black-robed old man glared at Ye Guan and said, “If you don’t scram in three seconds, you better not blame me for what I’ll do.”

Ye Guan pondered briefly before saying, “I repeat: we’re Han Zong’s friends, and we have been protecting him.”

𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Lian Shuang chimed in, “Yes, that’s right.”

Zong Shou glanced at Han Zong. Han Zong’s face was scrunched up in a frown, and he looked like he was suffering a lot. He was obviously at the critical juncture of the assimilation process.

The old man in black glared at Ye Guan and said, “This is very important to us, and we have to be careful. Just in case, we can only offend you. Men, take them down.”

He didn’t dare to be negligent, as this matter involved the Han Clan’s future.

What if he wants to snatch the Unyielding Bones?

Three Immortal Realm cultivators rushed toward Ye Guan’s group.

Lian Shuang and Zong Shou were furious. However, Ye Guan remained calm as he stared at the old man in black. He truly felt like burying the old man.

“Stop…!” Han Zong squeezed such words out while he was in the middle of assimilating the Unyielding Bones.

The three Immortal Realm cultivators came to a halt.

Han Zong glared at the old man in black and muttered, “They’re… my friends…”

He was trembling violently, and veins bulged all over him, creating a terrifying sight that made him appear as though he was about to explode.

Friends? The old man in black frowned in dissatisfaction and said, “Han Zong, you’re still young, so you have no idea just how insidious people can become in the face of profit. You possess the Unyielding Bones, so they got close to you and started calling themselves your friends. They might be plotting—”

“Old fogey!” Lian Shuang roared. He couldn’t take it anymore. “Did you eat nothing but shit while growing up?”

“How preposterous!” The old man in black roared, “How dare you insult me! Kill him!”

The three Immortal Realm cultivators were about to take action

“Stop!” shouted the white-haired old man.

The three Immortal Realm cultivators immediately stopped.

Han Yun looked at Ye Guan’s group before saying, “Let’s wait until Han Zong completely assimilates the Unyielding Bones.”

The old man in black glared coldly at Ye Guan’s group. He didn’t say anything, but the cultivators of the Han Clan had already surrounded Ye Guan’s group. They obviously had no plans of letting them leave.

Lian Shuang and Zong Shou were furious beyond belief.

How dare the Han Clan view them as a threat!

Meanwhile, Ye Guan remained calm as he kept his gaze on Han Zong.

Rumble!

Han Zong’s aura reached unimaginable heights. The spacetime around him distorted and throbbed beneath the might of his aura.

Han Zong suddenly lifted his head and roared, “AAAHHH!”

Boom!

A terrifying wave of aura burst out of Han Zong and parted the clouds. The surrounding kilometers of spacetime fractured at once, shocking everyone.

Han Yun was trembling out of excitement. Han Zong had completely assimilated the Unyielding Bones.

Han Zong clenched his fists.

Boom!

The fracture in the spacetime was exacerbated, and it abruptly shattered.

Everyone’s expression turned grim at the sight. How horrifying!

Ye Guan was astonished as well.

Han Zong looked like a completely different person after assimilating the Unyielding Bones.

Han Yun boisterously laughed. His laughter was so loud that it sounded like there was a thunderstorm in the vicinity. It couldn’t be helped; the Han Clan was about to soar to even greater heights!

The members of the Han Clan were overjoyed. Han Zong had always been a very talented individual—he was a talented cultivator whom the Han Clan cherished a lot.

With the Unyielding Bones within him, the Han Clan would become a supreme power in the Sky Department World. No, not just in Sky Department World; they would also be incredibly influential even in the many other worlds out there.

Han Zong approached Ye Guan and the rest with a grin.

“Big Brother!” exclaimed Han Zong.

Big Brother? The cultivators of the Han Clan were shocked. Why did he call him Big Brother?

Ye Guan grinned as well.

The old man in black asked solemnly, “Han Zong, did you just call him Big Brother?”

Han Zong nodded and explained, “I acknowledge him as my big brother.”

The old man in black’s expression turned grim, and he asked in a low voice, “Han Zong, why did you do that?”

Han Zong frowned and asked, “Is there a problem with that, Grand Elder?”

The old man in black replied, “Han Zong, the martial arts path involves fighting to feel invincible. Recognizing him as your big brother is basically the same as admitting that you’re weaker than him. How is that possible when you possess the Unyielding Bones?

“Is there even someone worthy of being your big brother in this world?”

The old man in black glared sinisterly at Ye Guan.

His words were for Ye Guan’s ears as well.

The cultivators of the Han Clan nodded. How could he become Han Zong’s big brother?

Han Zong grew slightly annoyed and he said, “Grand Elder, this is a personal affair of mine—”

“Han Zong, you’re simply too young. People are bound to take advantage of your naivety,” said the Grand Elder. He turned to look at Ye Guan and sneered, “The Unyielding Bones are in Han Zong’s hands, and he has a bright future ahead of him.”

“Who are you to become his big brother?”

“You’re not even worthy of becoming our young clan leader’s younger brother!” shouted a Han Clan elder. The members of the Han Clan glared at Ye Guan. How bold of him to make their young clan leader his younger brother!

Han Yun quietly stared at Ye Guan.

He also didn’t want Han Zong to recognize Ye Guan as his big brother.

What a joke. The Han Clan was about to rise up the ranks and become a top power. If Han Zong acknowledged a nobody as a big brother, wouldn’t he become a laughingstock?

Ye Guan calmly stared at the Han Clan members and cultivators.

Han Zong was anxious. He had always been weak to pressure, but he still decided to speak up for Ye Guan.

He was about to speak when a clan elder stepped out. A horrifying aura descended on Ye Guan as he shouted, “How dare you trick our young clan leader! You deserve death for your despicable actions!”

The clan elder was about to make a move when…

Shwik!

His head suddenly went flying before anyone could react.

A scythe-wielding man in black appeared next to Ye Guan, and he sounded respectful as he asked, “Young Master, shall we annihilate the Han Clan?”

“How dare you!” The Grand Elder of the Han Clan bared his teeth and said, “Annihilate the Han Clan? Who are you to say that? How dare you behave like barbarians—”

Shwik!

The Grand Elder’s head went flying before he could even complete his sentence.

Everyone was shocked.

The scythe-wielding man in black turned to look at Ye Guan. He bowed slightly before asking, “Young Master, do you want to annihilate them? If you want to, we can annihilate them in an instant.”

Annihilate the Han Clan? Sorry, but the Guanxuan Universe truly didn’t care about the Han Clan—no, the Guanxuan Universe couldn’t give even a rat’s ass about the myriads of worlds out there. The Guanxuan Universe only cared about the big players.

Ye Guan pointed at a Han Clan elder. “Him. He wanted to attack me—”

Shwik!

A head flew into the air.

Ye Guan pointed out. “Him, too. He wanted to kill me the most…”

Shiwk!

Another head went flying...

“Him as well.” Ye Guan pointed at someone before saying, “I could remember him staring intently at my storage ring…”

Shwik!

A head streaked across the skies as it went flying.

However, Ye Guan wasn’t done just yet. A head would fly wherever he pointed, and heads continued to roll down Mount Unyielding.
