Chapter 498: Call Him!

Ye Guan suddenly appeared beside Ye Qingqing, and he embraced her slender waist. Then, he turned into a beam of sword light that disappeared into the distance.

"Master Pagoda!" Ye Guan roared, "Assist me!"

Boom!

A golden beam of light burst out of Ye Guan and took to the sky, colliding with the brass-colored beam of light. The collision shattered both lights, and a powerful shockwave spread out, forcing the woman wielding a colossal sword and the Heaven Sovereign and the Earth Sovereign to retreat.

Ye Guan carved open a spacetime rift, and he decisively rushed into it.

The face of the woman wielding a colossal sword turned ugly.

"Chase!" she roared.

Everyone took to the sky, turning into streaks of light that headed straight for Ye Guan.

Within the Time River, Ye Guan fled with all his might while Little Pagoda assisted him by releasing beams of golden light to resist the Ancient Mirror Sovereign's attacks.

Ye Qingqing said, "Let me go!"

Ye Guan was furious. "Stop the nonsense, or I'm going hit you!"

Ye Qingqing raised her eyebrows in disbelief. "Huh?"

Ye Guan's heart skipped a beat upon seeing Ye Qingqing's raised brows.

He dared not speak further, so he held her tightly and focused on flying away.

This aunt's temper is even more volatile than my plain-skirt aunt!

Ye Qingqing snorted coldly. She did not say anything, but she had taken note of what Ye Guan had just said. Ye Guan actually said that he was going to hit her? Ye Qingqing resolved to teach him a lesson once she had recovered.

Ye Guan fled with Ye Qingqing, but his expression soon became grim. He had just realized that they were moving against the Time River. Ye Guan's plan was to bring Ye Qingqing back to the Guanxuan Universe, but they were getting farther and farther away from the timeline where the Guanxuan Universe existed.

Moreover, the pressure of time was becoming stronger and stronger, slowing him down.

Turning his head, Ye Guan saw the woman wielding a colossal sword and her companions chasing them relentlessly, like thorns in their sides.

Ye Guan's face darkened. At this rate, their pursuers would catch up to them in just fifteen minutes.

Ye Guan glanced at Ye Qingqing and saw that her face was extremely pale; she looked extremely weak and exhausted. The blood flowing down her right shoulder had drenched her clothes. Clearly, she was severely injured.

The consecutive battles had taken a toll on her, and she was forced to endure the woman wielding a colossal sword's attack. If it hadn't been for her formidable skill, the attack would have claimed her life.

Sensing Ye Qingqing's increasingly feverish breaths, Ye Guan's expression became solemn. He opened his palm, revealing a small ancient tree. With a thought, the ancient tree flew into Ye Qingqing's glabella.

The ancient tree sent out streams of green light that melted into Ye Qingqing.

The tiny ancient tree was none other than the Divine Tree of Natureone of Ye Guan's prized divine items. If it hadn't been for the Divine Tree of Nature, Ye Guan would have died long ago, even with his Mad Demon Bloodline.

The Divine Tree of Nature's incredible power of healing had allowed Ye Guan to withstand the Mad Demon Bloodline's tyrannical power.

Ye Qingqing's eyebrows furrowed deeply. "What are you doing?"

"Aunt, you need treatment," Ye Guan said.

Ye Qingqing stared at Ye Guan and asked, "What about you?"

"I'm fine."

"I don't want it!" Ye Qingqing shook her head. With that, she attempted to force the Divine Tree of Nature out of her sea of consciousness. Ye Qingqing knew that the Divine Tree of Nature was the reason Ye Guan was still alive.

Without it, Ye Guan wouldn't be able to withstand the powerful attacks of their enemies.

Ye Guan was frustrated upon seeing Ye Qingqing forcing the Divine Tree of Nature out of her sea of consciousness.

"Why are you so stubborn? What are you"

"Hmm?"

Ye Guan stopped mid-sentence as Ye Qingqing glared at him with an incredibly cold expression.

Ye Guan looked away and asked, "Do you want to die here together, then?"

Ye Qingqing glared at Ye Guan, and her beautiful eyes flashed in fury.

"If we're going to die, then we're going to die. Why are you being so aggressive to me?"

Ye Guan fell silent.

"Put me down!" Ye Qingqing demanded coldly.

Ye Guan thought briefly before saying, "I am sorry. I shouldn't have said that."

"I don't accept your apology," Ye Qingqing spat coldly.

Ye Guan's head throbbed at Ye Qingqing's reply.

Ye Qingqing struggled out of Ye Guan's embrace when a shrill noise entered their ears just then. Ye Guan turned and saw a streak of cold light flying toward them in the distance.

Ye Guan's pupils constricted, and he caught a whiff of death from the oncoming cold light. He pulled Ye Qingqing behind him to draw his sword, but the slight delay proved costly.

Shwik!

The cold light struck Ye Guan's chest, and Ye Guan flew backward with Ye Qingqing. He managed to cover his body with his sword intent, but the attack was just too strong. Ye Guan's chest was torn open layer by layer as they flew backward.

Ye Qingqing's expression changed abruptly, and her cold, icy demeanor softened.

Ye Guan stabilized himself and sensed numerous powerful auras flying toward them.

Ye Guan did not hesitate to carve a spacetime rift next to him.

Rumble!

Ye Guan immediately jumped into the spacetime rift with Ye Qingqing in tow.

Moments later, hundreds of powerful figures appeared. Some Time Reversers were about to follow Ye Guan into the spacetime rift when the woman wielding a colossal sword exclaimed, "Wait!"

The Time Reversers looked at her.

"We're in the territory of the Nanyue Sovereign!" she explained.

The Nanyue Sovereign!

Everyone's expressions changed. The Nanyue Sovereign was a top-tier supreme elite on the Time List! He wasn't in the top three, but the Nanyue Sovereign's reputation was beyond that of the Ancient Mirror Sovereign. More importantly, he even announced that those daring enough to trespass on the Nanyue World would die.

The Ancient Mirror Sovereign muttered, "We can't give those two any time to catch their breath. Once that woman in the black dress recovers from her injuries..."

Everyone's expression became grave.

Once the woman in the black dress recovered, who would be able to fight her?

The woman wielding a colossal sword nodded and exclaimed, "Let's go!"

With that, everyone charged into the Nanyue World.

They couldn't allow those two to recover from their injuries!

Ye Guan frowned upon entering the Nanyue World. The powerful auras behind them had disappeared somehow, but he didn't dwell on it any further. His figure turned blurry as he turned into a streak of light that disappeared into the depths of a distant mountain range.

"Master Pagoda, help me conceal our auras!" Ye Guan exclaimed.

Little Pagoda replied, "Okay!"

Little Pagoda hurriedly concealed their auras. Ye Guan then found a cave and helped Ye Qingqing inside of it. Then, Ye Guan brought Ye Qingqing into the world inside the tiny pagoda.

Ye Guan placed Ye Qingqing on top of a boulder.

Ye Qingqing's clothes were stained red by both of their blood.

Fortunately, the Divine Tree of Nature healed her furiously, and Ye Qingqing's pale complexion finally became a bit rosy.

Ye Guan breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Qingqing glanced at Ye Guan but said nothing.

"Aunt, focus on healing. I'll stand guard outside," Ye Guan said.

With that, Ye Guan left the world inside the tiny pagoda.

Ye Qingqing slowly closed her eyes, urging the Divine Tree of Nature to speed up. Ye Qingqing couldn't help but feel a bit flustered. After all, Ye Guan was no match for those Time Reversers, and he would certainly be in mortal peril once they found him.

No, Ye Guan was definitely going to die!

And that was why she had to hurry up and recover her full strength.

After leaving the tiny pagoda, Ye Guan sat at the cave's entrance. He looked up at the sky, and his eyes narrowed. He could feel terrifying auras on the distant horizon.

They're coming!

Ye Guan concentrated on concealing his aura along with Little Pagoda's help. He knew very well that if they discovered him, both he and his aunt would be in big trouble.

Unfortunately, he still ended up underestimating their strength, as several divine senses landed directly on the cave where he was hiding. Ye Guan's pupils constricted. Without any hesitation, he placed the tiny pagoda on the ground.

"Master Pagoda, protect my aunt and help her recover from her injuries!"

Ye Guan transmitted. Then, his figure trembled as he transformed into a streak of sword light that disappeared in the opposite direction.

Hundreds of divine senses zeroed in on Ye Guan the moment he flew away, and hundreds of powerful auras rushed toward him.

Ye Qingqing opened her eyes and frowned.

Ye Guan activated his two bloodlines to boost his speed to the extreme.

He crossed millions of kilometers of distance in the blink of an eye. Then, he abruptly came to a halt and carved open a spacetime rift. Unfortunately, he was still a bit too slow as a colossal sword flew descended upon him.

There was nowhere to hide!

Ye Guan had no choice but to abandon the idea of entering the Time River.

He whipped around and slashed out with his sword.

Boom!

A radiant sword light erupted, and Ye Guan was forced to retreat tens of thousands of kilometers away. As soon as he stopped, the space behind him collapsed with a thunderous boom.

Blood dripped down Ye Guan's lips

The woman wielding a colossal sword and the others surrounded Ye Guan.

Ye Guan quietly swept his gaze across the Time Reversers. He knew that he was no match for them. Even if his Mad Demon Bloodline were to awaken completely, it wouldn't be enough!

The difference in strength and numbers was just too great.

Ye Guan looked up and frowned.

Great Daoist Brush Master, you said you were going to get help where are you guys? You better pick up the pace, or you'll have to collapse my corpse soon!

The woman wielding a colossal sword stared at Ye Guan. "No one can save you now!"

A terrifying sword force descended upon Ye Guan.

The Ancient Mirror Sovereign raised the Ancient Heavenly Mirror up high and aimed it at Ye Guan. An ancient aura enveloped Ye Guan, immobilizing him. The Time Reversers also unleashed their own auras, inundating Ye Guan!

Ye Guan felt his breath stagnate; he found it hard to breathe beneath so many auras

However, Ye Guan knew that he had to buy some more time.

With that thought in mind, Ye Guan looked at the woman wielding a colossal sword and said, "Do you know who my father is? His name is"

"Ye Xuaxn," interrupted the woman wielding a colossal sword. "Your father is Ye Xuan, right? The Sword Master?"

Ye Guan was slightly stunned, and then he nodded hastily. "Yes."

"Call him here, then. I want to fight him."

Ye Guan asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure?"

The woman wielding a colossal sword glared at Ye Guan. "Call him!"

"You said I should call him, right? You said I should call him!" Ye Guan exclaimed, staring at the woman wielding a colossal sword. Then, he looked up at the void and said, "Father, come out and show off, will you?"
