Chapter 581: What Family Is This?

Everyone was dumbfounded.

How did this end up getting physical?

Ye Guan was also shocked. He never thought that his sister would slap the spirit. Still, he was moved. He knew that she simply was protecting him.

Having been slapped away, the spirit of the Divine Imprint, who was now quite a distance from them, momentarily found herself unable to react. However, soon after, she burst out in anger. "How dare you hit me!"

She clenched her hands tightly. Terrifying flames then surged out from within her and shot straight toward Ye An.

As Ye Guan's face darkened, he and his sister simultaneously disappeared.

Boom!

The deafening explosion blasted the spirit of the Divine Imprint further away.

The siblings then chased after her and gave her a fierce beating.

The scene left Mu Yuan and the others dumbfounded. They were beating up the spirit of the Divine Imprint.

In the past, the spirit of the Divine Imprint had a very high status in the Temple of Gods. Apart from the First God, she basically ignored everyone else. Moreover, not even the strong members of the temple of that time didn't dare offend her. After all, she was created by the First God.

Now, however, the Ye siblings were abusing the spirit of the Divine Imprint.

Mu Yuan watched from the distance, his expression somewhat complicated. Right from the beginning, he already knew that the two didn't take the spirit of the Divine Imprint seriously.

What kind of family is this? I can't believe they're treating the spirit of the Divine Imprint so lightly...

Damn it. This is outrageous.

More than anything, though, he was relieved. This scene made him feel more and more confident that he had made the right choice.

When it came to choosing who to follow, one had to carefully observe them first. Follow those with prospects, and one would have prospects themselves.

On the side, the Lady of Sin, who was watching with a puzzled expression, felt quite shocked as well. These siblings not only didn't take the Divine Imprint seriously, but even during their encounter with the First God earlier, they remained calm and composed.

She couldn't help but be somewhat curious about the identities of Ye Guan and his sister now.

Just then, the siblings stopped. The spirit of the Divine Imprint had now been beaten to the point of becoming somewhat illusory.

The spirit of the Divine Imprint stared at Ye Guan and his sister fiercely. "If my strength hadn't been depleted, you two could not have..."

As she spoke, Ye An clenched her fist, causing her to quickly retreat thousands of meters.

Ye Guan glanced indifferently at her. "From now on, you are free."

He had already taken the treasures inside the Divine Imprint and stored them in the Little Pagoda anyway. The Divine Imprint was dispensable for him, especially since it was safer to keep the treasures with Master Pagoda. Of course, he still needed to be careful of Master Pagoda's greed.

Little Pagoda was speechless.

Ye Guan's words stunned the spirit of the Divine Imprint. What did he mean? Did this man not want her?

Ye Guan and Ye An turned and left. Seeing this, Mu Yuan and the two god-generals momentarily hesitated but soon hurriedly followed after him. The Lady of Sin glanced at the bewildered spirit of the Divine Imprint in the distance, lightly shook her head, and then turned to leave herself.

The spirit of the Divine Imprint really took herself too seriously. She hadn't even figured out yet that the Ye siblings couldn't really care less about her.

As Ye Guan and the others left, the expression on the spirit of the Divine Imprint turned extremely unpleasant.

She didn't really plan to leave Ye Guan. Since the First God, whom she trusted, had entrusted her to him, she figured that there had to be a meaning behind it. However, she didn't want to acknowledge Ye Guan as her master. More accurately, she hoped to take the lead in their interaction.

Hence, she didn't expect the young human to completely disregard her. It was infuriating!

On the other side, Ye Guan led everyone into the starry sky. They spent a long time searching but failed to find a way out. Even when they tried to break through the spacetime together, it just immediately repaired itself.

Ye Guan was starting to get a headache. "This Divine Painting is quite tricky."

"

Hmph

."

At this moment, a cold snort suddenly came from the side. Everyone turned toward it, finding the spirit of the Divine Imprint.

Ye Guan glanced at her. "Are you looking for a fight?"

The spirit glared at him. "If my cultivation had not been depleted, I could have taken on a hundred of you."

"Is that so?"

Ye Guan's indifference only made her even more furious. "If you don't believe me, then ask the old man next to you."

Mu Yuan glanced at the spirit of the Divine Imprint but remained silent.

Ye Guan turned to Mu Yuan. After hesitating for a moment, Mu Yuan said, "Well... since we are all trapped in here, it's best to prioritize getting along."

Ye Guan shook his head with a smile.

The spirit snorted coldly. "To be trapped by such a small Divine Painting.... You all are too useless."

Mu Yuan shook his head. The emotional intelligence of the Divine Imprint's spirit was too low. However, he couldn't really afford to offend her.

"Can you get us out of here?" the Lady of Sin asked the spirit.

"Of course," the spirit replied indifferently.

"How do we leave, then?"

The spirit glanced at Ye Guan. "He's quite capable, isn't he? Why don't you ask him?"

The Lady of Sin quieted down.

"If you want freedom, we respect your choice. We won't force you to follow me," Ye Guan said. "However, if you choose to follow me, you must listen to me, understand?"

"It was my master who chose you, not me," The spirit of the Divine Imprint coldly replied.

"Your master is gone. You are free now."

When the spirit began looking as if she was at a loss for words, Ye Guan continued, "My sister and I have no grievances with you. We do not want to make enemies with you either. If you sincerely don't want to follow us, it's okay. You can just leave us behind."

The spirit of the Divine Imprint stared at Ye Guan. "Don't you know that those pseudo-gods fought fiercely and spilled a lot of blood just to get their hands on me?"

Ye Guan shook his head. "I don't believe that possessing the Divine Imprint means becoming the new Supreme God. I also don't believe that I cannot create a new order without the Divine Imprint."

Mu Yuan glanced at Ye Guan with a hint of surprise in his eyes. The Lady of Sin also looked deeply at Ye Guan.

After a moment of silence, the spirit of the Divine Imprint finally said, "I'll follow you."

Ye Guan was puzzled. "Why?"

Glancing at him, she answered, "I trust my master."

Right after, she suddenly transformed into a golden light and soared into the sky.

Boom!

A moment later, a golden vortex appeared in the starry sky above.

As Ye Guan grew curious, screams echoed from within the golden vortex.

"That's the Divine Painting!" Mu Yuan exclaimed. He then smiled faintly. "One thing begets another, after all."

A golden light then suddenly appeared above everyone. The voice of the Divine Imprint's spirit rang out from within it.

"Come in."

The crowd soared into the sky and entered the golden light.

Soon, they found themselves in the depths of the abyss.

They had finally made it out.

Ye Guan took a deep breath. The spirit of the Divine Imprint then appeared in front of him, holding a scroll in her hand.

"Is this the Divine Painting?" he asked.

The spirit of the Divine Imprint coldly snorted, unwilling to answer. However, she soon realized that it was better to lower her head while she was under someone else's roof. Hence, she nodded and then threw the Divine Painting to Ye Guan.

Ye Guan took the Divine Painting and examined it. Then he asked, "How do I subdue it?"

The spirit of the Divine Imprint said, "Since I'm following you, it will naturally listen to you."

Ye Guan smiled. "It's said that there were four supreme treasures in the era of the First God, and you're the leader among them."

The spirit of the Divine Imprint smirked proudly. "Naturally."

"I'll have to rely on you a lot in the future, then."

The spirit looked at him, now feeling a lot more favorable toward him.

Just then, Mu Yuan suddenly said, "Ye Guan, look."

Ye Guan turned to Mu Yuan. Just a thousand meters away from them knelt a middle-aged man in armor. His eyes were tightly closed, and blood kept flowing from them.

"He's God-General Zhentian," Mu Yuan said in a deep voice.

Ye Guan turned to Mu Yuan. "Who?"

"He's one of the top five god-generals."

"Why is he kneeling in this place, then?"

Mu Yuan shook his head, his expression somewhat grave. "He is extremely powerful. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to subdue him, let alone make him kneel... I'll go ask."

Mu Yuan shook out of view and reappeared before God-General Zhentian.

"Zhentian, what are you doing here?" he asked.

God-General Zhentian's brows furrowed. "Mu Yuan? Aren't you dead?"

"I managed to survive."

God-General Zhentian remained silent and expressionless.

"What are you doing here?" Mu Yuan repeated.

God-General Zhentian impatiently replied, "I like kneeling here. What's wrong with that?"

Mu Yuan blinked. "Did someone manage to beat you?"

Furious, Zhentian replied, "Who could possibly beat me?"

"Well, then, you can get up."

"Mind your own business, Mu Yuan."

At that moment, Mu Yuan's expression became strange. "So you really were beaten."

Zhentian didn't know what to say anymore.

Mu Yuan was puzzled. With Zhentian's strength, nobody except for the pseudo-gods could have stood a chance against him, let alone order him to kneel in this place. It was as if he had been mercilessly crushed.

With this in mind, Mu Yuan asked, "Who did this to you?"

Zhentian remained silent. He had no idea who the other party was. He just made a sarcastic remark, and the next thing he knew... he had been brutally beaten and forced to kneel here...

He didn't even know who attacked him...

"Zhentian, you should get up and talk. Kneeling like this isn't good," Mu Yuan urged.

"If I could get up, do you really think I would still be here?" Zhentian replied, irritation in his voice.

Everyone was dumbfounded.
