Chapter 450: Our Relationship Will Come To An End

Something bad happened?

Ye Guan didn't dare to waste any time, as he ended the call and turned to Cizhen, saying, "Sister Zhen, I have to leave. There's something I need to attend to."

Cizhen nodded. "Sure, go ahead."

Ye Guan turned around and left.

Cizhen watched him go before smiling to herself and going back to her writing.

...

Ye Guan arrived at the Xuanyuan Residence by car. As soon as he got out of the car, he immediately saw Xuanyuan Ling. Today, Xuanyuan Ling wore a simple white dress; she was still wearing a veil, and the veil made her look like a pristine fairy untainted by the mortal world.

Xuanyuan Ling walked up to Ye Guan, and Ye Guan could see that she was nervous.

"Miss Ling, what happened?" Ye Guan asked.

"Follow me!" Xuanyuan Ling exclaimed and grabbed Ye Guan's hand before dragging him inside the Xuanyuan Residence. Soon, the two arrived in front of the Sword Tower.

The elites of the Xuanyuan Clan had gathered before the Sword Tower. Ye Guan had met them before, so the Xuanyuan Clan elites nodded lightly at Ye Guan in greeting upon seeing him.

They assumed that Xuanyuan Ling and Ye Guan were in a romantic relationship.

Xuanyuan Ling was about to speak when Ye Guan suddenly looked up at the Sword Tower with a frown, seemingly sensing something.

Xuanyuan Ling whispered, "Can you sense it?"

Ye Guan's curiosity was piqued. "What's being sealed under this tower?"

Xuanyuan Ling shook her head. "I don't know."

Ye Guan turned to Xuanyuan Ling.

Xuanyuan Ling lowered her head and added, "We're not sure what's being sealed there, and all we know is that our ancestor did it himself, and we thought whatever was being sealed had perished long ago, as the tower never really gave off such a reaction.

"A few days ago, the tower shook violently and started emitting a powerful aura."

Xuanyuan Ling shook her head in apprehension, saying, "Thankfully, Xuanyuan is helping us suppress it. Otherwise, our Xuanyuan Clan would have vanished on the day the tower trembled violently."

"Are you saying that this is all because I drew out Xuanyuan?" Ye Guan asked, sounding solemn.

Xuanyuan Ling nodded. "We think so, too. We think the seal must have weakened when you drew out Xuanyuan, but we're not sure."

Ye Guan was about to speak when two people appeared. One of them was an old man, while the other was a young woman in a blue dress. The old man was wearing a long purple robe and had a white mustache. Despite his age, he looked exuberant and was emitting a rather formidable aura.

Meanwhile, the young woman in blue looked to be about twenty years of age. She gave off a quiet, sophisticated elegance with her tall, gorgeous figure.

Clan Leader Xuanyuan Qi approached the two and greeted, "Elder Qin!"

Elder Qin nodded. "Brother Qi, what's being sealed beneath that tower?"

Xuanyuan Qi sighed and said, "We still have no idea. The Sword Tower is now filled with an evil aura, and we dare not enter it. We also don't know how long Xuanyuan can keep suppressing it."

Elder Qin frowned.

"Elder Qin, let's talk about this inside," Xuanyuan Qi added and walked up to Elder Qin.

The young woman in blue was staring at the Sword Tower, and her beautiful eyes revealed a hint of curiosity as she stared at the tower intently.

Ye Guan turned to Xuanyuan Ling and asked, "Who are they, Miss Ling?"

Xuanyuan Ling replied, "Elder Qin is the Clan Leader of the Qin Clan, Qin Yuan!"

The Qin Clan?

Ye Guan was stunned. "The Qin Clan? Isn't that one of the four major clans?"

Xuanyuan Ling nodded. "Yes, you got it right."

Ye Guan was astonished. He truly didn't expect to encounter the Qin Clan here. In other words, Qin Yuan was a relative of his mother, Qin Guan.

Ye Guan hesitated briefly before walking over to the young woman in blue. Ye Guan still considered the Qin Clan as full of his relatives, even though it had been many years since Qin Guan was born.

Xuanyuan Ling was clearly puzzled by Ye Guan's move.

Ye Guan smiled at the young woman in blue and asked, "May I know how I should address you?"

The sudden greeting surprised the young woman in blue, and she looked at Ye Guan with a confused look.

Xuanyuan Ling rushed over and glanced at Ye Guan before saying, "Her name is Qin Xizhi."

Qin Xizhi?

Ye Guan smiled and said, "Hello, Miss Qin, my name is Ye Guan, and..."

Ye Guan paused to take out his phone. "Let's exchange numbers so we can stay in touch in the future."

Xuanyuan Ling's expression froze, and Qin Xizhi looked at Ye Guan without saying a word. Inwardly, she was astonished by Ye Guan's frankness, and this was her first time encountering someone so direct.

In the face of Qin Xizhi's silence, Ye Guan wanted to say something, but Xuanyuan Ling quickly pulled him aside. Xuanyuan Ling then looked at Ye Guan with a firm gaze, asking, "Why?"

Ye Guan was a bit puzzled. "Why what?"

"Why did you ask for her number?" Xuanyuan Ling asked, "Do you want to get to know her?"

Ye Guan nodded instantly. Xuanyuan Ling's expression turned odd. Ye Guan noticed that and shook his head. "You've misunderstood me. I just really want to get to know her. I want her to be my friend or something."

Ye Guan glanced at Qin Xizhi and saw that she was staring at him with an odd gaze.

Ye Guan realized it just then. It seemed that he had been a bit too direct in his approach. An explanation was necessary, so Ye Guan started walking toward Qin Xizhi, and that was when the Sword Tower abruptly shook violently.

A terrifying aura burst out of the tower.

Boom!

A tremor ran through the entire mountain range around the Xuanyuan Residence, and everyone's expression changed drastically at the incredible sight.

Ye Guan could also feel the terrifying aura inside the Sword Tower, but he couldn't use his divine sense, so he had no idea just what kind of existence was being suppressed in the Sword Tower.

Just then, Xuanyuan suddenly erupted into a golden light. The golden light poured down and enveloped the entire tower, sealing the powerful aura.

Xuanyuan Ling breathed a sigh of relief, but her face soon darkened. She could sense that Xuanyuan wouldn't be able to suppress the powerful, baleful aura for much longer.

After a while, the powerful, baleful aura receded and vanished; serenity returned to the Sword Tower once more.

"I'll go in and take a look," Ye Guan said, and he started walking toward the tower.

Xuanyuan Ling's face changed drastically, and she reached out to grab him. "No, it's dangerous in there."

Ye Guan smiled. "It's going to be fine."

Xuanyuan Ling wanted to say something, but Ye Guan had already entered the tower.

Xuanyuan Ling hesitated briefly before chasing after him.

Qin Xizhi pondered over it as well before ultimately running after the two.

Ye Guan looked around and saw that a myriad of golden runes were all over the tower's interior; each rune was emitting an inscrutable, formidable aura. Ye Guan looked around once more, and he soon found a golden array not too far away from them.

Ye Guan closed his eyes and was about to try and use his divine sense when a furious roar echoed beneath their feet. "You ants! Once this king is out, I'll definitely devour your flesh and drink your blood!"

Ye Guan frowned, sensing something amiss. Then, he turned and grabbed the two young women before rushing out of the tower.

Boom!

The three had barely made it out of the tower when a tremor ran through it again.

The Sword Tower was trembling once again as if it were boiling kettle.

Xuanyuan erupted into a golden light, and it enveloped the entire tower with its own light. However, a terrifying burst of baleful aura abruptly erupted from the depths of the earth, transforming into multiple arrows that struck Xuanyuan's golden light.

Cracks soon appeared in Xuanyuan's dome of golden light, and it became clear to everyone that Xuanyuan could truly no longer suppress the mysterious being beneath the Sword Tower.

The faces of the Xuanyuan Clan's elites became extremely unsightly. They had no idea what was being suppressed, but they knew one thing for sure: the Xuanyuan Clan would face a disaster if that being were allowed to go out.

Ye Guan stared at the fractured golden light and said in a deep voice, "The sword can't suppress it anymore."

Xuanyuan Ling went beyond pallid.

"Tell the Xuanyuan Clan elites to leave," Ye Guan added.

Xuanyuan Ling didn't hesitate and went over to Xuanyuan Qi. However, a furious roar suddenly echoed from the Sword Tower, and a terrifying, baleful aura took to the sky, shattering the dome of golden light and reducing the entire Sword Tower into ashes.

Moments later, a black pillar of light took to the sky, piercing the clouds.

Rumble!

The faces of the Xuanyuan Clan's elites became filled with trepidation as they stood frozen and watched as a black-robed man walked out of the pillar of light. The black-robed man's hair was disheveled, but his crimson eyes emitted a baleful aura that distorted even spacetime, creating a frightening scene.

The black-robed man closed his eyes and spread his arms before greedily breathing in the fresh air around him.

Ye Guan stared quietly at the black-robed man and deduced that he had to be a supreme elite from the Divine Dao Civilization.

Swoosh!

The black-robed man vanished and appeared in front of Ye Guan and the others. When his gaze landed on Xuanyuan Ling and Qin Xizhi, he grinned and licked the corners of his mouth, saying, "It's been thousands of years since I tasted women."

Ye Guan frowned.

Am I dealing with a pervert here?

Meanwhile, Xuanyuan Ling and Qin Xizhi's faces changed drastically in the face of the black-robed man's remark.

The black-robed man took a step forward, and a powerful aura descended upon Xuanyuan Ling and Qin Xizhi.

Xuanyuan Ling's face turned ashen in despair—utter despair!

Even Masters were mere ants before such a powerful cultivator!

Ye Guan looked up, and his gaze turned inexplicably cold as he said. "Father, if you remain headstrong and insist on sealing my cultivation base even during a crisis of this level, then our relationship as father and son will come to an end. I'm not joking here."
