Chapter 273: Kinship Is Irrelevant When the Yangs Are Angry

The miserable screams made their hair stand on end.

Ye Guan and Ye An didn’t dare to move as the agonizing screams pierced their ears.

Ye Guan was slightly embarrassed. His grandfather didn’t seem like a good person. Ye An was also silent, seemingly lost in thought.

Sword Master Qingshan eventually stopped. He opened his palms, and the Boundary Pagoda flew to Ye An.

Ye An looked at Sword Master Qingshan and asked, “What happened?”

Sword Master Qingshan calmly replied, “I just replaced the spirit inside of it with a new one.”

Ye Guan froze and went silent. Ye An’s expression stiffened.

The spirit inside of it was replaced with a new one? Little Pagoda was drenched in cold sweat.

What did that mean? It meant killing the spirit inside of it and replacing it with another spirit. Little Pagoda realized just then that Sword Master Qingshan was furious. Sword Master Qingshan wasn’t easily angered, but the consequences were dire once he was enraged.

Sword Master Qingshan stared deeply at Ye An and said, “People can talk about our Yang Family behind our backs, but how dare a mere pagoda meddle in our affairs and stir up trouble? Unlike its name, it doesn’t know its boundaries.

“Did that pagoda think that it could get involved in our family affairs?"

Ye An was silent. She actually wasn’t familiar with her grandfather, but she had heard that her grandfather had a bad temper. It seemed that they weren’t lying back then.

Sword Master Qingshan calmly said, “I haven’t mentioned this yet, but it’s fine even if you don’t want to use the Yang surname. I treat others based on how they treat me. If you treat me like family, I’ll treat you like one.”

Sword Master Qingshan was truly furious, but it wasn’t strange at all. The matter between him and Ye Xuan was between the two of them. He didn’t mind even if Ye Xuan resented him, but no one else could interfere in the matter between them, even if those who wanted to interfere were his grandchildren.

Sword Master Qingshan had already admitted that he was mistaken, but no one was allowed to criticize him for it.

𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Ye An clenched her fists tightly, looking unhappy.

However, Sword Master Qingshan remained calm.

Familial ties—he had always placed great importance on familial ties.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked the Yang Family to support Ye Guan as well as Ye An’s Milky Way Clan. He had been putting in the effort to make up for his mistakes in the past, so he was furious when Ye An criticized him.

However, Sword Master Qingshan was right. The grandchildren had no right to interfere in the matters between their father and their grandfather. In fact, even their father hadn’t said anything about it, so how come the grandchildren were complaining?

Sword Master Qingshan had always been like this; he wouldn’t recognize even family once he was angered.

Ye Guan quickly walked up to Sword Master Qingshan and tugged on his arm.

"I think you should take it easy. We're all family here, so don't say things you’ll regret."

Sword Master Qingshan glanced at Ye Guan and smiled. "Good luck!"

With that, he turned into a streak of sword light that took to the skies and disappeared into the depths of the starry sky.

He left just like that.

Ye Guan sighed. His grandfather was truly furious earlier. It turned out his grandfather’s temper was too fierce!

Ye Guan recalled something, and he walked over to Ye An. He was about to say something when Ye An’s figure blurred. She transformed into a crimson beam of light that rushed toward the distant horizon.

How come the two of them have such bad tempers?! Ye Guan froze and went quiet. It seemed that he would have a difficult time being a grandson and a younger brother in this family. However, there wasn’t anything Ye Guan could do about it.

Sword Master Qingshan shook his head with a smile while staring at Ye An. He realized that Ye An’s temper resembled him, while Ye Guan’s temper was more similar to his son's.

“How was it?” a voice asked from out of nowhere.

Sword Master Qingshan turned and saw a woman in a purple dress. He chuckled and replied, “It became a bit unpleasant.”

The woman in a purple dress stared contemptuously at Sword Master Qingshan and said, "You’re the only one capable of throwing a tantrum against the members of the younger generation. Yes, you’re the only one."

Sword Master Qingshan laughed at that and said, "Let's go!"

With that, he vanished into the vast expanse along with the woman in a purple dress.

…

Ye Guan looked up and realized that his grandfather had truly departed.

The mysterious voice suddenly asked, “Are you not going to leave as well?”

Leave? Ye Guan was stunned. He turned and saw that even though the simply dressed Great Sovereign was still immobilized, the other Divine Spirits could move, and they were all staring at Ye Guan.

Ye Guan decisively turned around and fled!

The simply dressed Great Sovereign roared, “Don’t let him leave!”

Ye Guan’s talent could only be described as frightening. If they were to let him leave, they would definitely see the advent of the next Sword Master.

To make matters worse, Ye Guan had infiltrated the True God Hall. They couldn’t allow him to leave so easily, lest the True Universe’s reputation be ruined.

The Divine Spirits immediately gave chase. A Divine Spirit muttered hesitantly, “Great Sovereign Nanchen, that blue-robed man earlier…”

Great Sovereign Nanchen’s expression dimmed, and fear quickly filled his eyes. After a moment of silence, he replied, “Don’t worry, the Yin Spirit and the rest are on their way here!”

The Divine Spirit hesitated. He wanted to ask if Yin Spirit could beat that blue-robed man, but he decided against it. It was a question tantamount to disrespecting the Yin Spirit, which meant he would only be inviting trouble upon himself.

With that in mind, he decisively turned around and left.

Meanwhile, Great Sovereign Nanchen was staring worriedly at the skies.

The waters of the Guanxuan Universe were more mysterious and deeper than he initially thought, and the current generation was particularly remarkable. He didn’t expect to see so many powerful young talents from the Guanxuan Universe, but it was the harsh reality, and it was a fact that made him feel worried.

...

After leaving the True God Hall, Ye Guan headed to the Guanxuan Universe. He had to hurry up and return to the Guanxuan Universe now that the True Universe clearly had no intentions of keeping its word.

Not long after he started his journey back, a sword light flashed in front of him.

Nan Nishui appeared.

Ye Guan thrust his sword toward her, but his expression changed dramatically.

He abruptly turned around and slashed out with his sword.

Bang!

A fist imprint shattered, and Ye Guan was sent flying away.

The fist imprint had come from an old man a kilometer away.

Incredibly, he was a Great Sovereign!

Ye Guan's face darkened, feeling irritated. The True Universe was too much.

When it became clear that Divine Sovereigns no longer posed any threat to him, the True Universe actually decided to send a Great Sovereign[1] after him.

“Go right!” exclaimed the mysterious voice.

Ye Guan’s brows furrowed slightly. The mysterious voice explained, "A powerful cultivator is waiting for you at the Heavenly Garrison, and you can’t use that path anymore. Trust me, go right."

Ye Guan decisively turned and went right, disappearing into the horizon as a beam of sword light.

The old man standing a kilometer away from Ye Guan glared at Ye Guan and opened his palm. He reached out toward Ye Guan and clenched his fist.

Bam!

The spacetime around Ye Guan collapsed as immense pressure bore down on Ye Guan.

Ye Guan’s expression turned ugly. So this is the power of a Great Sovereign.

It was too much, and he couldn’t withstand it with his current cultivation base. With that in mind, Ye Guan slashed out and carved a hole for him to escape the constraints of the dense and heavy spacetime.

His figure blurred as he disappeared into the horizon.

The old man appeared in front of Ye Guan and threw a punch.

Ye Guan’s pupils constricted.

He was about to attack when a stream of golden light rushed out of him like a deluge.

Buzz!

The golden light took the brunt of the old man’s attack.

“Go!” Little Pagoda shouted before immediately enveloping Ye Guan in his golden light and dragging the latter away into the horizon.

The old man frowned at the sight. He was about to give chase when a white light flashed past him and chased after the golden light.

The old man was stunned. He sounded curious as he muttered, “That aura…”

Eventually, he turned into a streak of light that chased after Ye Guan.

Ye Guan gripped the Path sword tightly and asked in a deep voice, "Senior, where are we going?"

The mysterious voice replied, "We’re going to the True God World!"

Ye Guan frowned slightly, “True God World?”

“Yes, it’s the world where the True God was born, and there’s a rule there that says—fights are forbidden in the True God World,” explained the mysterious voice.

Fights are forbidden there? Ye Guan was astonished.

“You should take advantage of that world’s rule to become even stronger,” the mysterious voice said, The Divine Spirits will have to be cautious about dealing with you there.”

Ye Guan’s brows furrowed slightly. "The True God World?"

“Yes, it’s an incredibly sacred world in the eyes of the Divine Spirits,” the mysterious voice explained, “They won’t make a move on you in that world, so you’ll be safe there.”

Ye Guan went silent. Eventually, he shattered the ice and asked, "Senior, are you perhaps from the True Universe?"

“Guess!” said the mysterious voice.

Ye Guan didn’t know what to say. He also thought his question just now was nonsense.

Swoosh!

Ye Guan turned around at the shrill cry coming from behind him, and his expression changed drastically upon seeing a beam of light tearing through spacetime just to chase after him.

The beam of light’s aura was stronger than the Great Sovereign earlier.

Is it a Cosmic Spirit?

Ye Guan’s face fell. The True Universe was going too far!

Soon, he started to get worried. Senior An was definitely fighting against the experts of the True Universe at the moment.

Ye Guan quietly gripped the Path Sword.

The beam of light behind him was speeding up.

The mysterious voice exclaimed, “Go faster!”

Little Pagoda said, “This is my fastest speed!”

“The Yin Spirit will catch up to us!” shouted the mysterious voice.

“Why don’t you help me?” Little Pagoda asked.

The mysterious voice’s reply came a bit late, but she exclaimed, “Okay!”

A dazzling light erupted from Ye Guan and enveloped him. Ye Guan’s speed surged crazily until he was several times faster than earlier.

The Yin Spirit’s eyes filled with disbelief at the sight. However, her expression quickly turned ugly. It turned out that Ye Guan’s destination was the True God World!

“How dare you!” the Yin Spirit roared while glaring hatefully at Ye Guan.

The True God World was more important than the True God Hall in the eyes of the Divine Spirits. If Ye Guan somehow managed to infiltrate the True God World, it would be a humiliation far greater than the humiliation thirty million years ago.

The Yin Spirit bellowed, “Heavenly Dao!”

Boom!

The weather abruptly turned tumultuous as dark clouds gathered above Ye Guan. A horrifying, inscrutable power swept across between heaven and earth.

The world itself seemed illusory beneath it.

Ye Guan's face darkened.

The mysterious voice shouted, "Take care of the heavenly tribulation, Little Pagoda!"

Little Pagoda asked, "Why me?"

“You know that my circumstances are unique,” the mysterious voice explained before casting her gaze on Ye Guan and asking, “Who else can handle it aside from you? Don’t tell me you expect this little guy to do it?”

Little Pagoda was speechless, but he wordlessly shot toward the clouds.

Crackle!

A divine lightning filled with a cataclysmic might flew toward Little Pagoda.

However, Little Pagoda was undeterred, and he collided with the divine lightning.

Boom!

Everything between heaven and earth was instantly chaotic, stupefying Ye Guan. It turned out that Little Pagoda was more powerful than he thought.

Meanwhile, the dazzling light dragged Ye Guan into the distance.

The dazzling light tore a rift in spacetime and brought Ye Guan into the true God World.

The Yin Spirit came to a screeching halt and cursed, “Fuck!”

1. It’s a cultivation realm now rather than a title like what’s described in ch 240. So there’s a Great Sovereign title and a Great Sovereign Realm. ☜
