Chapter 582: Double Kill

Zhentian was truly in agony at this moment because the woman had left a sword aura in his body, which didn't threaten his life but firmly suppressed him. As long as he moved, he would die. Therefore, he dared not move at all.

Just then, Ye Guan suddenly walked up to Zhentian. He glanced at Zhentian, feeling a familiar aura within him, which puzzled him.

Seeing Ye Guan's perplexed look, Zhentian's brow furrowed suddenly. "What are you looking at?" he snapped.

Ye Guan's voice was deep as he asked, "Is there a sword aura inside you?"

Zhentian was slightly taken aback, then replied, "How did you know..."

Ye Guan stared at Zhentian. "What does the person who attacked you look like?"

Zhentian frowned slightly, a little displeased. "What's it to you?"

"Then keep kneeling."

With that, he turned and left with Ye An.

Mu Yuan glanced at Zhentian indifferently. "After so many years, you are still so stupid. You deserve to kneel."

Zhentian was speechless.

Seeing Ye Guan and the others about to leave, Zhentian hesitated for a moment before saying, "She wore a plain skirt."

Upon hearing what Zhentian said, Ye Guan trembled as he stood frozen on the spot.

Aunt Plain Skirt!

Ye Guan turned to look at Zhentian, his gaze flickering. "Have you seen her?"

Zhentian furrowed his brow slightly and asked in return, "Do you know her?"

Ye Guan nodded.

This time, it was Zhentian who was stunned.

Ye Guan walked slowly to Zhentian's side. "My aunt is a good person with a good temper. She wouldn't attack without reason. Did you do something to upset her?"

Little Pagoda remained silent.

Hearing Ye Guan's words, Zhentian shook his head. "You say she has a good temper, but I can't agree with that."

Good temper? That woman didn't seem like someone with a good temper at all.

Ye Guan didn't say anything more and left with Ye An.

Seeing Ye Guan leaving, Zhentian hurriedly said, "Wait."

Ye Guan turned to look at Zhentian. After hesitating for a moment, Zhentian said, "Can you remove the sword aura for me?"

Ye Guan replied calmly, "I should be able to."

After a moment of silence, Zhentian said, "If you're willing to help, consider it as me owing you a favor."

Ye Guan shook his head. "It doesn't matter to me."

He then turned and left.

Upon hearing Ye Guan's words, Zhentian's expression became extremely ugly.

Mu Yuan glanced at Zhentian indifferently. "Can't you see what's going on?"

With that, he turned and left.

Zhentian's expression turned even uglier. He didn't plead with them again, but simply stared hard at Ye Guan and the others in the distance.

After Ye Guan and the others disappeared into the distance, he suddenly looked up at the depths of the starry sky. "Shenling."

At this moment, a voice from the ancient depths of the stars suddenly sounded. "Yes?"

"Save me."

"Why should I?"

Zhentian said calmly, "If you save me, I'll tell you a secret."

"Speak."

"Save me first."

The voice replied coldly, "Do you have any other choice?"

After a moment of silence, Zhentian said, "The young man has obtained the Divine Picture, and not only that, I also sensed the aura of the Divine Imprint on him. It seems that he has obtained the inheritance of the First God."

"What?"

From the distant starry sky came a sound of astonishment, followed by the rupture of space-time, and a middle-aged man dressed in divine attire slowly walked out.

Zhentian stared at Shenling intently, his eyes burning like fire. "Is it true?"

Zhentian nodded. "It can't possibly be wrong."

Shenling squinted his eyes, his gaze flickering, lost in thought.

Zhentian looked at Shenling. "Can we take action now?"

The reason he didn't ask for Ye Guan's help was because he had other methods.

Shenling suddenly stepped forward and came to Zhentian. He placed his right hand on Zhentian's shoulder. When he sensed the sword energy inside Zhentian, he didn't pay much heed. With a slight force from his right hand, a terrifying power entered Zhentian's body, intending to crush the sword energy. However, just at that moment...

——

Boom!

The sword energy burst out and pierced into Shenling's forehead.

In an instant, both of their bodies started to disintegrate at a visible rate. It was a double kill.

Shenling was stunned as he stared at the horrified Zhen Tian. "What the fuck."

Both of them vanished immediately after. Both their bodies and souls were destroyed.

...

On the other side.

In the starry sky, Ye Guan suddenly stopped, his brows furrowing.

Ye An turned to look at Ye Guan, asking, "What's wrong?"

Ye Guan calmly said, "Before we entered the Divine Picture, we felt a powerful aura. Now I think that aura must have been from Zhentian..."

Beside them, Mu Yuan's voice was low. "Are you worried about the possibility of your acquisition of the Divine Imprint being exposed?"

Ye Guan nodded.

The Divine Imprint had caused chaos in the Temple of the Gods back then. If it appeared in his hands now, would the gods let him off?

Definitely not.

Mu Yuan suddenly said, "I'll go deal with him."

With that, he turned and disappeared on the spot.

But not long after, Mu Yuan returned to Ye Guan's side, his expression somewhat grim. "He's gone."

Ye Guan furrowed his brow. "Gone?"

Mu Yuan nodded. "When I got there, he was already gone."

Ye Guan's brow furrowed even more. "That's impossible. He couldn't have escaped the sword aura left by the Aunt Plain Skirt..."

"What do we do next?"

The Sinful Lady suddenly said, "We go to Sin City."

Ye Guan looked at the Sinful Lady, and she continued solemnly, "We're going to see Lord Muqing."

Ye Guan asked, "The god from the Sin World?"

The Sinful Lady replied gravely, "Lord Muqing doesn't like others calling him a god."

Ye Guan glanced at the Sinful Lady, silent.

The Sinful Lady looked at Ye Guan. "Are you worried that he has intentions towards the Divine Imprint?"

Ye Guan nodded.

The Sinful Lady shook her head immediately. "That's impossible. Lord Muqing's devotion to the First God is beyond your imagination. You are the inheritor of the First God, and he will surely choose to serve you."

Mu Yuan suddenly said, "Miss, you're still too young."

The Sinful Lady looked at Mu Yuan, and Mu Yuan said in a deep voice, "I know about Muqing. He was the most low-key figure in the temple back then. He did not compete or participate in any factional struggles. And in the end, he survived the internal conflicts of the temple. Just based on this, he's not ordinary."

The Sinful Lady fell silent at his words.

"Being cautious does not hurt. Hence my suggestion is that we don't expose the existence of the Divine Imprint for now. If we do, it will drive those old guys crazy again. You see, the Divine Imprint is not just a symbol of identity, it contains countless treasures left behind by the First God. If it's exposed now, those old codgers will definitely go mad and try to snatch it..."

Pausing for a moment, he added, "What's even more terrifying is the possibility of them joining forces."

At his words, Ye Guan's eyelids twitched.

Mu Yuan looked at Ye Guan. "There are two most important things to do now. First, it is to tame the Yin Yang Twin Beasts left behind by the First God. They are truly loyal to the First God, and with the Divine Imprint, you have a great chance of taming them. Second, improve your strength as soon as possible. In short, our current goal is to quietly develop and grow as stealthily as possible."

Ye Guan suddenly laughed. "Elder Mu Yuan, what did you do in the temple before?"

Mu Yuan smiled faintly. "I was a literary attendant, mainly handling some literary matters in the temple, managing the vast expanse and such."

Ye Guan said, "I see."

"Ye Guan, with our current strength, we are still unable to contend with those pseudo-gods. If you want to gain the loyalty of the subordinates of the First God, you must improve your strength. Otherwise, they may not choose to follow you."

"I understand."

With that, he glanced at Mu Yuan and the Sinful Lady, then said, "I'll take you both to a place."

And with that, he directly brought the two of them into the Little Pagoda.

𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

As they entered the Little Pagoda, both of them were stunned.

Soon, their expressions became more serious than ever before, especially Mu Yuan. He looked around and was overwhelmed. At this moment, he suddenly realized that he had underestimated Ye Guan.

After entering the Little Pagoda, Ye Guan arrived in front of a great hall. This hall was the main hall inside the Divine Imprint, which he had moved into the Little Pagoda. And all the treasures left by the First God were in this hall.

When he saw this hall, Mu Yuan's expression became complex. "First God Hall."

Ye Guan looked at Mu Yuan, and Mu Yuan whispered, "This is the hall where the First God specifically cultivated, outsiders are not allowed to enter..."

Ye Guan walked towards the hall, but Mu Yuan stayed behind.

Ye Guan looked at Mu Yuan, and after hesitating for a moment, Mu Yuan said, "I won't go in."

Ye Guan was puzzled, "Why?"

"The First God once said that outsiders are not allowed to enter..."

Ye Guan shook his head, "Come in. There are some things inside that I don't quite understand, and I need to ask you."

With that, he entered the hall.

Ye An naturally wouldn't care about what the First God said, she also walked in. To her, her brother's things were equivalent to her own. They were all family. Sharing blessings and hardships together.

The Sinful Lady didn't think too much either, and also walked into the hall.

After hesitating for a moment, Muyuan followed suit. He also wanted to see the treasures left by the First God.

The hall was not large, filled with various divine books, resembling a study.

Ye Guan walked to one of the bookshelves, picked up an ancient book and opened it. In an instant, countless golden characters poured directly into his sea of ??consciousness. In the blink of an eye, Ye Guan's eyes turned into a vast starry sky. Within the boundless galaxy, countless golden ancient characters drifted like rivers flowing in the starry river.

At this moment, Muyuan's voice suddenly appeared in Ye Guan's mind, "This is the legendary Galaxy Book, a divine treasure, second only to the Four Great Divine Treasures. You have the Divine Imprint, and it has already recognized you as its master. You can control it."

Ye Guan suddenly opened his palm, and in an instant, countless ancient characters converged into a sword and fell into his palm. Not only that, but the power of the boundless galaxy also condensed into starlight and poured into his sword.

A galaxy in the sword...

Feeling this, Ye Guan suddenly became excited...
