Chapter 544: What the Hell?!

The white-robed woman glanced into the distance before turning around and leaving.

Boom!

A burst of sword light suddenly erupted from the Time River. The sword light was like a tidal wave, sweeping in all directions. Every inch of spacetime that stood in its way was annihilated.

The power of the two swords was terrifying, and even the dense spacetime couldn't withstand it.

Ye Guan became more and more thrilled as he fought, and his blood boiled as he attacked relentlessly. His Mortal Bloodline was a slow starter like his Mad Demon Bloodline, so he became stronger the longer he fought.

As a result, Ye Guan was starting to obtain the upper hand against the woman in the tight-fitting skirt.

Boom!

Ye Guan pushed the woman with a single strike. Then, he rushed toward the distant Lingxu World instead of attacking.

Seeing this, the surrounding strong cultivators were about to stop him, but then they seemed to receive some kind of order and stopped in their tracks, allowing Ye Guan to rush toward the Lingxu World without any obstacles.

Even the woman in the tight-fitting skirt stopped and sheathed her sword.

Ye Guan soon entered the Lingxu World. Once inside, he scanned his surroundings with his divine sense, casting it out like a net. Soon, he turned his head, and his figure trembled as he transformed into a streak of sword light that disappeared into the distant horizon.

A woman was sitting cross-legged on a mountain peak. A sword was floating in front of her. She was wearing a white dress, and her long hair cascaded down her shoulders. Her face was cold, and her demeanor was even colder.

She was also emanating a powerful sword intent. She was none other than Cijing.

Cijing looked up just then, seemingly sensing something.

The next moment, a column of sword light fell before her.

When the dazzling sword light vanished, a young man's figure was revealed.

A hint of astonishment flashed in Cijing's beautiful eyes.

The young man was Ye Guan!

Ye Guan immediately breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that Cijing was unscathed.

He walked up to her and embraced her, saying, "Little Jing..."

Cijing trembled slightly at Ye Guan's touch.

Swoosh!

Cirou appeared next to them just then.

Cijing's cold face blushed slightly, and she pushed Ye Guan away, glaring at him.

Ye Guan smiled faintly, holding her hand without saying a word.

Cijing wanted to break free from his grasp, but she seemed utterly exhausted. Still, she decided to pretend like she was struggling to free herself before eventually stopping, allowing Ye Guan to hold her hand.

Cirou swept her gaze across the two and said, "Now is not the time for romance."

Cijing's expression turned cold. "What romance? You—"

Cirou interrupted by waving her hand dismissively, "You've slept with him as well, so you don't have to be so shy anymore."

Cijing was furious, and she glared at Cirou before roaring, "Wanna die?!"

Ye Guan was confused.

Cijing and I have slept together?

Cirou didn't seem to be joking, and Cijing looked too embarrassed and angry for it to be a mere joke. Ye Guan became suspicious and even more puzzled.

Did it happen while we were in the Eternal Secret Realm?

Cijing noticed Ye Guan's expression and became even angrier. She glared fiercely at him and asked, "What's up with that look?!"

Ye Guan was dumbfounded.

Cirou stared alternatingly between the two before choosing to remain silent. She knew that Ye Guan had no idea what had happened in the secret realm, so she deliberately decided to make a move for Cijing and Ye Guan's sake.

Ye Guan was silent. It seemed that something really did happen between them during their time in the secret realm.

No wonder my legs felt so weak when I woke up back then!

Sigh!

Ye Guan couldn't help but sigh in regret. He was asleep, so he didn't get to experience anything.

The strange glint in Ye Guan's eyes told Cijing that he had come to a conclusion, and she couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

Cijing turned around to leave, but Ye Guan stopped her.

Cirou knew that Cijing was easily embarrassed, so she changed the subject, saying, "They didn't hurt Little Jing; they simply trapped her here. I guess their true goal is to lure you here."

Hearing Cirou's words, Cijing's heart tightened. She turned to Ye Guan and asked, "You know they wanted to lure you here, so why did you come here?"

Ye Guan smiled. "I had no choice because you're here."

A complex light flashed in Cijing's eyes, and her cold face softened unknowingly.

Ye Guan looked up and said, "It's probably too late for us to escape at this point."

Cirou looked at Ye Guan and asked, "What's your plan?"

Ye Guan looked at the two women.

Cirou frowned immediately as if she could read Ye Guan's mind.

However, Ye Guan smiled and said, "We'll face it together."

Cirou was slightly surprised. At first, she thought that Ye Guan was going to tell the two of them to enter the world inside the tiny pagoda.

Ye Guan said, "Little White!"

Little White flew out of the tiny pagoda.

Ye Guan sounded serious as he asked, "Can you give them some equipment?"

Little White blinked but remained silent.

Ye Guan added, "They're all my wives."

Little White was quiet.

Cijing glared at Ye Guan and was about to retort when Ye Guan grabbed her hand proactively and smiled. "Big Sister has already agreed to us being together."

Cijing coldly retorted, "I didn't agree."

Ye Guan merely smiled while holding her hand.

Cijing felt a bit embarrassed and irritated. "What's up with that smile?"

Ye Guan dared not to provoke her any further, knowing that she was easily embarrassed and sensitive about certain matters.

Ye Guan grabbed Cirou's hand with his other hand.

Cirou glanced at him, but she didn't attempt to retract her hand.

Ye Guan looked at Little White.

He had to get some life-saving equipment for Cijing and Cirou.

Little White swept her gaze across the three of them and waved her tiny paws.

Ye Guan had no idea what to say. He couldn't understand Little White's gestures, after all.

Little Pagoda suddenly said,

"Little White asks, 'are you lying to me?'"

Ye Guan hurriedly shook his head. "No, no, they

really

are my wives."

Little White pointed at the two women with her tiny paws and puckered her lips.

Little Pagoda said,

"She wants you to prove to her that they really are your wives. Do you want me to explain your relationship with these girls to her?"

"No need for you to meddle; I'll prove it myself!"

Ye Guan transmitted. With that, he turned around and hugged Cijing before giving her a gentle kiss on the lips.

Little Pagoda was speechless.

Cijing's eyes widened in surprise, feeling a bit bewildered.

Ye Guan hurriedly stepped backward. Knowing Cijing's personality, he couldn't let her become too embarrassed, as things could easily go wrong if that was to happen.

After kissing Cijing, Ye Guan looked at Cirou.

Cirou merely stared at him, and her gaze made Ye Guan feel a bit hesitant.

However, Little White was staring at Ye Guan.

In the end, Ye Guan's eyes flashed in the light of determination as he grabbed Cirou and kissed her slowly. He thought Cirou would resist, but she didn't resist him at all. She simply looked at him calmly, with nary shyness or anger—just serenity.

The gazes of the two seemed calm, but Ye Guan was far from calm deep inside.

It was impossible to deduce Cijing's thoughts from her calm expression as the two kissed right in front of her.

Ye Guan noticed Cirou's lack of resistance and instinctively tried to go further by attempting to pry open her mouth with his tongue. As soon as he did that, however, Cirou bit down on his tongue.

Ye Guan quickly withdrew, looking at Cirou.

Cirou cast an indifferent gaze at him without saying anything.

Ye Guan smiled faintly and remained silent as well. He held the hands of the two women and turned to look at Little White.

Little White blinked her big eyes as she stared at the three of them.

Ye Guan earnestly said, "They really are both my wives."

Little White remained silent for a long time before turning around and rummaging through something.

Ye Guan was thrilled, and he became giddy with anticipation. Anything from Little White was guaranteed to be good stuff. After a while, Little White turned around. She spread out her tiny paws, revealing a bronze clock.

Ye Guan was curious. "What is that?"

Little White waved her tiny paws frantically.

Ye Guan asked, "Master Pagoda?"

Master Pagoda blandly replied, "I'm just a pagoda. What do I know?"

Ye Guan sighed.

Eventually, Little Pagoda told Ye Guan that the bronze clock was called the Creation Iron Wall Clock—a divine artifact at the Creation Realm level.

Ye Guan examined the Creation Iron Wall Clock and felt an extremely ancient aura emanating from it

Ye Guan was astonished. The aura was making him feel nervous.

Ye Guan examined the Creation Iron Wall Clock for a long while before handing it to Cirou.

Cirou didn't refuse Ye Guan's offer and accepted it promptly.

Ye Guan stared at Little White once again. The latter then flipped one of her tiny paws, revealing a square purple seal.

"What is that?"

Little White waved her tiny paws.

Little Pagoda explained, "It's called the Divine Blessing Seal, and it's also a divine artifact at the Creation Realm level."

The Divine Blessing Seal? That sounds formidable.

Ye Guan nodded. "Nice."

Ye Guan handed the Divine Blessing Seal to Cijing next to him, who accepted it promptly.

Ye Guan turned back to Little White.

Little White shook her head to indicate that she had nothing else to give.

Ye Guan chuckled. The way Little White was shaking her head made her look extremely adorable.

Moments later, Little White took out two bottles of pills and handed them to Ye Guan.

Little Pagoda explained, "Those are healing pills, and it is going to be useful to them."

Ye Guan nodded, taking the two bottles of pills and then handing them to Cirou and Cijing.

The two women accepted the pills without saying anything.

Ye Guan looked around, sensing numerous cold auras. Their enemies were here and were lurking in the shadows.

Ye Guan ignored the auras and looked up. "Let's go."

With that, he transformed into a streak of sword light and soared into the sky.

Swoosh!

A spacetime rift was torn apart, revealing the Time River inside of it!

Ye Guan attempted to enter the Time River, but a terrifying energy smacked him away.

Ye Guan landed on the ground and looked up at the distant end of the Time River.

Two women were standing there; one of them was the woman in the tight-fitting skirt, whom Ye Guan had fought not too long ago, while the other was a black-robed woman with long hair. She was also holding a longsword, which meant that she was a swordsman.

The black-robed woman was none other than Han Ling, one of the white-robed woman's senior disciples. Most importantly, Han Ling was now the acting clan leader of the Past Clan in addition to her status as the Past Clan's heir.

Han Ling looked down at Ye Guan before looking away and asking, "Where are the disciples of the Sword Pavilion?"

Buzz!

The buzzing of swords abruptly pervaded the air around them. Multiple spacetime rifts manifested, and hundreds of powerful swordsmen emerged slowly from the rifts. They were the swordsmen of the Past Clan's Sword Pavilion.

There were hundreds of them, and they were all Sovereign-level cultivators!

Their terrifying sword intent pervaded the entire Lingxu World, and it became illusory, clearly unable to withstand the burden of so many cultivators.

Han Ling's voice echoed once again. "Where are the Spirit Guards?"

Boom!

A colossal teleportation array manifested to Ye Guan's right. Immediately afterward, thirty-six supreme elites clad in armor that looked like blood emerged slowly from the teleportation array.

The way their armor resembled blood clots made them appear eerie and utterly bizarre, and they were a force to be reckoned with as well, as their aura was even more terrifying than the swordsmen of the Past Clan's Sword Pavilion!

It wasn't really strange as they were members of the Spirit Guards—the personal guards of the Past Clan's former clan leader.

Han Ling looked down at Ye Guan and said, "Today, we're fighting you as a group rather than individually. It's time about time you call your people."

Ye Guan was silent.

Call my people? I have no one to call.

Rumble!

The space next to Ye Guan was abruptly torn open.

A woman dressed in a green dress walked out slowly from the rift.

"What the hell?!" Little Pagoda cursed unknowingly. His voice even trembled as he muttered, "What the..."

Swoosh!

A golden light rushed out of Ye Guan and flew to the woman in the green dress. He bowed respectfully and dared not speak.
