Chapter 534: Ye Guan, I'm Here!

They had truly taken their sweet time. They thought Ye Guan was doing well, but he actually got a pretty good beating.

What do we do?

Erya's mind raced.

Little White's big eyes glimmered in worry as well. It seemed that they were really going to get scolded this time. As Little White wondered if they were going to get a good beating, she unconsciously patted her behind.

Erya's eyes lit up just then, and she exclaimed, "I got it!"

Little White hurriedly looked at Erya.

Erya blinked and said, "I have a plan."

Then, Erya opened her palm, and a drop of blood was squeezed out of her palm. She used her other hand to smear that blood on the corner of her lips. She wiped some blood on the corner of Little White's lips as well.

Afterward, Erya messed up her hair and tore her clothes.

Moments later, Erya finally looked like she had just gone through hundreds of battles. Erya then put away the candied hawthorn and pinched Little White's cheeks, saying, "Stop smiling. You need to look a bit miserable and downtrodden!"

Little White was speechless.

Erya rushed forward and shouted loudly, "Ye Guan, I'm here!"

Ye Guan took a deep breath and was about to slash out when he heard Erya's voice.

Ye Guan was thrilled.

Erya's finally here!

As expected, Erya was flying toward him with Little White on her shoulder. He was stunned upon seeing Erya.

They must've gone through many battles and hardships just to come here,

thought Ye Guan.

Erya wasted no time and swung her fist at the giant ape.

The giant ape was enraged.

A little girl actually dares to attack me?

The giant ape swung its fist toward Erya as well.

Erya's fist seemed as tiny as a speck of dust compared to the giant ape, but when Erya's fist collided with the giant ape's fist. A deafening explosion echoed, and the giant ape was blasted away under everyone's shocked gazes.

Everyone was stunned.

Even the demonic beasts that the giant ape had summoned froze in place.

Ye Guan's eyelids twitched. Erya's strength was truly terrifying. He reckoned that even Ao Qianqian wouldn't withstand such a punch.

The giant ape's fleshly body exploded into a bloody mist, scattering blood and flesh haphazardly in the air, which created a gruesome scene. The giant ape was dumbfounded, and its eyes were wide open.

A little girl actually managed to defeat me? N-no way...

In the distance, Erya glanced indifferently at the giant ape before returning to Ye Guan's side with Little White. Erya examined Ye Guan from top to bottom before saying, "We aren't too late, are we?"

Ye Guan was about to say something when Erya sighed and said, "We had to overcome five hurdles, not including the blockade at the Guanxuan Universe. We defeated six supreme elites and killed hundreds of thousands of Time Reversers.

"

Sigh...

it was really tough."

Little White merely blinked; she dared not say anything.

Hundreds of thousands of Time Reversers?

Ye Guan was puzzled.

Is she exaggerating? Are there really that many Time Reversers in the Time River?

Erya wiped away the blood from the corner of her mouth and said, "I'm seriously injured. I-It hurts..."

Ye Guan and Little White were at a loss for words.

Erya surreptitiously glanced at Little White. Little White quickly waved her tiny paw.

Seeing Ye Guan's puzzled gaze, Little White blinked and pretended like she was convulsing. However, Little White's actions exacerbated Ye Guan's confusion rather than resolve it.

Erya hurriedly explained, "Her injuries are more severe than mine."

Ye Gaun stared alternatingly between the convulsing Little White and Erya.

These two are really putting on a show, aren't they?

Ye Guan had no idea what to say.

Erya's heart skipped a beat at Ye Guan's silence. In the end, she opted to change the subject and said, "Come on, let's go. Little White and I will protect you. Let's go..."

Ye Guan nodded slightly and emptied his mind. They had to leave as soon as possible.

Erya turned to look at the giant ape in the distance. She shook her hand and swung her fist. The spacetime around her trembled violently before imploding in a cataclysmic explosion that shocked the nearby supreme elites.

The giant ape's expression changed drastically. It had nowhere to retreat and could only confront Erya head-on. It roared and pounded its chest. However, it seemed to have forgotten that it had suffered severe injuries from Erya's first attack, so its chest caved in and it spat a mouthful of blood.

Everyone and the giant ape itself was speechless.

A bizarre scene unfolded moments later.

When Erya reappeared in front of the giant ape, the giant ape turned around and fled...

It abandoned its own kind and ran away!

The other giant apes were dumbfounded.

Did our clan leader just run away?

Erya was stunned. She also didn't expect that the giant ape would flee the battlefield so decisively.

Of course, it was all thanks to Erya's first attack. The giant ape had been scared out of its wits by Erya's first punch. Unlike Ye Guan's sword attack, Erya's punch made it feel a primal fear. It had no confidence that it could withstand another one of her punches, so it escaped decisively.

Dignity was important, but life was more important than anything else!

The other giant apers recovered from their trance and retreated frantically. Just like that, the entire clan of giant apes disappeared into the distance.

Erya shrugged, feeling somewhat disappointed. She wanted to show off, but the giant ape didn't want to cooperate with her.

Ye Guan walked up to Erya. He looked around and said, "Erya, can you sense any of the assassins lurking in the shadows?"

Erya looked around and frowned. "Little White!"

Little White flew toward Erya.

Erya then said, "Take one of your treasures out!"

Little White blinked before rummaging through her storage ring. Soon, she pulled out a pitch-black ancient-looking mirror. She knocked on it once before tossing it up high.

Swoosh!

A dazzling light burst out of the mirror, illuminating everything for hundreds of kilometers around it. Hundreds of shadowy figures were revealed around the mirror—they were the assassins lurking around in the pockets of spacetime!

Ye Guan's gaze turned cold. He was about to make a move when those shadowy figures retreated like a tide until they were no longer within the mirror's range.

Ye Guan frowned.

"Young Master," White Phoenix said, "We need to go and meet up with Pavilion Master Qin."

"Yes, let's go," said Ye Guan with a nod. Then, he seemed to have recalled something as she turned to look at the Time River behind him. A trace of worry flashed in his eyes as he wondered how his Aunt Qingqing was faring.

White Phoenix seemed to have sensed Ye Guan's concern and said, "Young Master, rest assured. We have powerful reinforcements rushing to assist them at the moment. They will definitely not be defeated."

Ye Guan nodded. "Okay."

With that, Ye Guan, White Phoenix, and the Secret Guards continued their journey along with Erya and Little White.

Ye Guan felt much safer this time. Erya was extremely terrifying, after all. He had experienced the giant ape's power, but it was no match for Erya at all. Ye Guan still couldn't believe that Erya had defeated such a powerful demonic beast.

Ye Guan remembered something just then and asked, "Erya, how is the Guanxuan Universe doing?"

Erya took out a stick of candied hawthorn and gave it a lick before replying, "I don't know. I think they're doing okay."

Ye Guan's expression darkened.

Erya sounded serious as she added, "You should worry about yourself first."

Ye Guan pondered briefly and nodded. Indeed, he seemed to be the weakest in his family. The realization made Ye Guan sigh in sadness.

Their journey went swimmingly for quite a while.

Just then, White Phoenix said, "We'll be there in thirty minutes!"

Thirty minutes...

It wasn't a long time, but Ye Guan couldn't shake off the worry in his heart. His intuition was telling him that the Past Clan wouldn't make it easy for him to meet up with his mother.

White Phoenix's expression also became serious.

Will the Past Clan give up so easily? Definitely not.

Ye Guan looked at Erya, who didn't seem concerned at all. She was still licking her candied hawthorn with a satisfied expression.

Erya's unconcerned attitude made Ye Guan feel better.

In the end, they decided to pick up their pace.

Fifteen minutes later, Erya seemed to have sensed something and frowned. She came to a halt and stared at the distant end of the Time River.

Ye Guan came to a halt as well and asked, "What's wrong?"

Erya's gaze was cold as she said, "There's someone up ahead."

Ye Guan stared at the distant end of the Time River as well, but he couldn't see anything.

Swoosh!

Erya flew like a cannonball, and an explosion echoed as a spacetime rift was torn open a kilometer away from them.

Ye Guan looked closely and saw a middle-aged man flying like a kite that had lost its string. Erya stood quietly, facing the middle-aged man wearing a tight black robe with dark gold iron wrist cuffs.

The middle-aged man's expression was solemn as he stared at Erya. "How powerful..."

Erya licked her candied hawthorn and asked, "Are you thinking of attacking my grandson?"

"Ye Guan is your grandson?" the middle-aged man asked with narrowed his eyes.

Erya nodded.

The middle-aged man went pallid as he stared at Ye Guan.

Grandson?

Ye Guan was speechless.

Should I say something back? Well, Erya isn't exactly wrong. After all, she addresses my grandfather as "Brother Yang" and addresses my father as "Little Xuan"! Even my father couldn't say anything about it, so in terms of seniority... I really have no idea what to say.

The middle-aged man retracted his gaze and looked at Erya. "I've heard that you're the ancestor of the first Evil Beast. I've come here to learn from you!"

Erya examined the middle-aged man from top to bottom and scoffed, "You're too weak."

The middle-aged man laughed heartily at the remark.

Swoosh!

Erya vanished into thin air.

Boom!

Spacetime itself imploded as Erya made a move!

The middle-aged man's eyes narrowed into slits, and he raised his arms crossing them in front of his chest.

Boom!

Erya's fist landed on the middle-aged man's arms, and he was sent flying away. As he flew away, his fleshly body exploded into a bloody mist. Moments later, his soul couldn't withstand the force of Erya's punch and imploded, shattering into innumerable light fragments.

Both fleshly body and soul were annihilated in just one punch!

Everyone was at a loss for words.

Erya returned to Ye Guan's side.

Ye Guan hurriedly praised, "Erya, you're so amazing!"

Erya glanced at Ye Guan and said, "I've always been undefeatable, so that was par for the course."

Little Pagoda had no idea what to say.
