Chapter 597: When The Time Comes, I Will Intervene

The old pallbearer looked at the two, feeling somewhat puzzled. He was about to say something when Plain Skirt Destiny suddenly raised her right hand and pressed it down.

Boom!

The old pallbearer's eyes narrowed. However, before he could react, he fell to his knees with a loud

plop

.

He was stunned!

What on earth just happened?

He looked at Plain Skirt Destiny in disbelief. "You... Why are you doing this?"

Plain Skirt Destiny looked down at him condescendingly, as if he was an ant. "I can do whatever I want whenever I want. Why do I need a reason for it?"

The old pallbearer's face instantly paled. He had said something along those lines to the young swordsman earlier. Now, his family had come to make a scene.

The old pallbearer looked bitter. He did not expect that someone so strong would be supporting that young swordsman.

This time, he really had gotten into big trouble.

At that moment, the man in the white robe, who was next to Plain Skirt Destiny, suddenly said, "Let's go!"

When her eyes remained locked on the old pallbearer, the man in the white robe added, "Let him kneel until he dies."

The woman's lips curved into a smile as she pulled the man in the white robe and walked into the distance.

As they passed by the bronze coffin, Plain Skirt Destiny glanced at it indifferently. She did not look interested in the slightest!

Soon after the two disappeared into the distant stars, the old pallbearer activated the profound energy in his body and attempted to break the sword energy that Plain Skirt Destiny had left behind inside him.

Boom!

As soon as he resisted, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and his whole figure turned illusory.

Despair filled his heart. He was doomed!

His face turned ashen, and his eyes were filled with horror.

The strand of sword energy in his body was simply beyond his ability to break. He had never felt so helpless before.

At that moment, he suddenly remembered something that his master, the First God, had once told him.

"Do not commit evil deeds for personal gains."

Once a person's strength had reached a certain level, their divinity would start becoming increasingly stronger. Such people often had no scruples and acted based on their whims. Those who were willing to set their boundaries with the weak were few and far between. It was just like how the powerful and privileged rarely reasoned with the common people.

Kneeling in the void, the old pallbearer's face remained pale. He knew he was doomed. He would kneel here until he died.

Although he was not afraid of death, he feared that there were things that he would be unable to accomplish.

He stared blankly toward the depths of the void. With just a few words from the woman earlier, he was now going to spend the rest of his life being punished for the impulsive act that he had done earlier.

The old pallbearer couldn't help but see this treatment as unjust!

As if coming to a realization, a determined look formed in the old pallbearer's eyes. "When First God returns... there'll be hope..."

...

On the other side, amid the depths of the starry sky, Plain Skirt Destiny and the white-robed man followed the young swordsman from afar.

"Qing'er, there are many people in this world who do not act with reason," the man said.

"The most unreasonable ones came from your family," Plain Skirt Destiny replied.

Slightly taken aback, he gently held her hand and said, "It's

our

family."

The corners of her lips curled up.

The man continued, "Throughout our journey, we've encountered people who act according to their own desires. I don't think it's right."

Plain Skirt Destiny remained silent.

Turning to look at her, he asked, "What do you think?"

"Your opinion is all that matters."

The man shook his head and smiled. "Come on, tell me your thoughts. I want to know what you think."

Plain Skirt Destiny raised her head and gazed into the endless depths of the starry sky. "Cultivators cultivate to follow their desires. The stronger they are, the more this applies to them. When it comes to principles, in their world, strength is the answer. Unless the one who sets the rules is invincible, one will always get to make the rules if they are stronger."

"Invincible..." the man mumbled. "Qing'er, are you willing to abide by others' principles and rules?"

Holding his hand, Plain Skirt Destiny replied, "There will never be absolute fairness in this world. Even if rules have been established, who can guarantee that they won't be used as tools to enslave all beings?"

The man in the white robe fell silent.

Plain Skirt Destiny smiled gently. "Don't think too much about it. Someone's already working on these things. He's having a very hard time right now, but it's okay. When the time comes, I will intervene."

The man grinned. "Alright."

Soon after, the two disappeared into the depths of the starry sky.

On the other side, Ye Guan wiped the blood from the corner of his lip. An icy gaze enveloped his eyes.

Fuck! Am I being targeted by the Great Daoist Brush Master again? I keep getting beat up by random people for no reason!

Ye Guan had decided to deal with that old stubborn man next time. He was smarter now. If he could not beat someone, he would not fight them. Instead, he would spend some time training before coming back to fight them.

For that reason, he decided not to rush into things. After all, it would only put him in a disadvantageous position.

Without further thought, Ye Guan took out his starry region map and examined it. He then looked in the distance. He was close to the First God Paradise.

After putting away the map, he transformed into a ray of sword light and disappeared.

About half an hour later, he stopped amid a galaxy. A huge, beautiful, crystal-clear pearl was floating in the air not too far away from him.

The First God Paradise!

Ye Guan was about to enter when a terrifying aura suddenly attacked him from behind. Instead of turning around, he hopped on his sword and headed straight to his destination.

He didn't need to see the attackers to know that someone strong from the Wang Clan had caught up to him. To make matters worse, there was probably more than one of them. If he did not escape now, they would surely gang up on him.

Just as he was about to charge into the First God Paradise, a phantom suddenly appeared in front of him. A black fist light then rushed toward him.

Ye Guan's eyes narrowed. He had no choice but to draw his sword.

Bang!

A burst of sword light suddenly erupted in front of Ye Guan, forcing him to retreat thousands of meters away. When he stopped, the spacetime around him cracked open, and twelve powerful figures slowly emerged. They were all Heavenly Sovereigns! The only exception was the elder leading all of them, who was in the Ancient Sovereign Realm.

Wang An, their leader, looked Ye Guan up and down. He then said, "You certainly are young."

Ye Guan tightened his grip on his sword.

Wang A said, "You dared kill six people from the Wang Clan, so I assume you have a very strong backing. I can't help but wonder what exactly gives you the audacity to kill members of my family. Care to share it with me?"

The moment he saw Ye Guan and how young he was, his curiosity was instantly piqued. To possess such strength at a young age meant that whoever was behind him had to be very powerful. Hence, he wanted to know who they were.

"No one's helping me," Ye Guan replied.

Wang An chuckled. "You don't want to tell me?"

Ye Guan laughed. "I'm backed by someone invincible."

"Are you trying to scare me?"

Ye Guan was speechless, thinking that this man was full of shit. It did not matter if he told the truth or lied. The strange man before him would not believe him anyway.

Wang An waved his hand dismissively. "If you don't want to tell me, then forget it. The person behind you will surely appear once we start beating you up anyway. I'm quite familiar with this routine."

He then took a step forward, causing Ye Guan's expression to change drastically. He swiftly drew his sword and unleashed Invincible Sword Intent.

Boom!

However, the countless sword lights were helplessly shattered.

Ye Guan was sent violently flying backward. At the same time, Wang An soared into the air, flipped his right hand, and swiftly descended.

Above Ye Guan, spacetime was ripped open. The next moment, a colossal palm fell from the skies, seemingly hoping to crush the entire galaxy.

This was the power of someone who had reached the Ancestral Sovereign Realm!

Ye Guan's expression turned heavy. Wang An's strength far surpassed that of the Heavenly Sovereign whom he met earlier on. If so, then Wang An was far stronger than him as well. To make things worse, he also had twelve other Imperial Sovereigns to deal with.

Hence, he stopped holding back.

"Qianqian," he internally called.

Boom!

A terrifying aura surged out from within him. In an instant, he transformed into a ray of sword light and soared into the sky. He then swung his weapon toward the colossal palm.

Boom!

As his attack tore apart the colossal palm, his figure shook once more. He transformed into a ray of sword light again and launched a counterattack.

Wang An laughed heartily. "Excellent timing!"

He suddenly opened his palm and then gently clenched it. As endless spacetime and galaxies materialized, he threw a punch at Ye Guan.

The spacetime and galaxies within his fist simultaneously exploded, shattering all the star fields in the surrounding area.

However, the First God Paradise remained intact, completely unaffected by the force of his punch.

Sensing the terrifying power that Wang An's punch contained, Ye Guan slowly closed his eyes. Right after he turned illusory, thousands of swords surged forth.

Ye Guan's swordsmanship had greatly improved since he came to the Old Era, and he had Ao Qianqian's support. Hence, the power of his Space Overlap had increased by over tenfold!

A single sword strike was all he needed!

Boom!

A burst of sword light erupted violently from between him and his opponent. The impact sent them thousands of meters backward!

When they came to a stop, Wang An looked at Ye Guan in excitement. "Impressive. It seems like the Wang Clan has underestimated you. I never expected you to be able to fare this well against someone who has reached the Ancient Sovereign Realm."

Ye Guan gazed at Wang An coldly. "Let's continue."

Wang An guffawed. "I'm choosing to gang up on you instead."

He and the twelve Imperial Sovereigns beside him all charged straight at Ye Guan.
