Chapter 613: Accept Me As Your Master

Ye Guan was not only covered in blood. He also had gaping wounds all over him, from which even more blood flowed out. It was a horrifying sight.

Confusion enveloped Xuan Yin's expression. "Young Lord Ye, you…"

He stepped out of the teleportation array and looked at himself before smiling bitterly.

It was too terrifying! As soon as he stepped out of the teleportation array, he was ambushed by thousands of the Wang Clan's elite fighters! They even activated multiple horrifying arrays. If it was not for Ao Qianqian's support and his own swift escape, he would have been done for. It was simply ridiculous.

Ye Guan felt numb. He knew that the Wang Clan would not back off so easily and that a huge battle would be waiting for him when he left this place. However, he did not expect them to attack him as soon as he stepped out.

It was fortunate that the teleportation array worked both ways. Otherwise, he might have died on the other side.

"Young Lord Ye, are there people waiting for you on the other side?" Xuan Yin asked.

Ye Guan nodded. "Yes."

She glanced at him with a strange expression. She could tell that he had stirred up quite a huge trouble outside.

He shook his head and smiled. "I need to stay here for a while. As for this teleportation array…"

"Young Lord Ye, if you wish to use it, you can do so at any time. Of course, you'll have to pay for the costs yourself."

"Naturally," he said.

After a bit of hesitation, she said, "You are also free to stay here."

She felt that this would further develop their friendly ties.

However, Ye Guan shook his head. "No need."

Xuan Yin was puzzled. "Why not?"

"If I stay here, your clan will be implicated."

"Young Lord Ye, we are not afraid of outsiders…"

"Clan Leader Xuan, I appreciate your kindness. However, my enemies are far from mere ordinary people. My presence here will only bring disaster to the Wu Clan."

His enemies were self-proclaimed gods. If he stayed here and they decided to hunt him down, Xuan Yin and her people would be in deep danger. He couldn't let that happen.

After another brief moment of contemplation, Xuan Yin no longer insisted. "If you need anything, you can contact me anytime. If it is something that I can do for you, I will not refuse."

Ye Guan grinned. "Thank you."

Xuan Yin nodded slightly. She then turned to leave. Meanwhile, Ye Guan entered the little pagoda to tend to his wounds. He had been careless this time.

Ye Guan truly did not expect so many people to be waiting for him outside—that the Wang Clan would be insane enough to send their entire army to ambush him. It was ridiculous.

Sigh!

As he sighed, he began to quickly heal his injuries.

…

Outside the First God Paradise.

The Wang Clan's elite fighters stood guard outside the teleportation array and at all other exits of the First God Paradise, waiting for Ye Guan to show up. They would do whatever it took to ensure that he would not get away.

The Clan Leader of the Wang Clan, Wang Zong, presided over the situation himself. Grand Elder Wang Xian stood to his left. The other core elders of the clan were present as well.

Wang Zong had a rather sour expression. Just now, all of his clan's elites had attacked Ye Guan all at once, yet they still failed to stop him from escaping back into the teleportation array.

"Ye Guan has become significantly more powerful since the last time we saw him," Grand Elder Wang Xian commented.

As Wang Zong frowned, Wang Xian added, "Even though he's been in there the whole time, he still keeps growing stronger..."

The Wang Clan's elites frowned. This was not normal at all…

The First God Paradise sealed the cultivation of anyone who entered its premises, yet Ye Guan still somehow found a way to develop his strength!

Wang Xian coldly looked at the First God Paradise. "We cannot just keep passively guarding this place."

Now that the Wang Clan had entered a fight to the death with Ye Guan, they no longer cared about the forces or individuals supporting him. All that mattered to them now was killing Ye Guan and ridding their clan of this scourge.

"Grand Elder, are you suggesting that we enter the First God Paradise?" Wang Zong asked.

Wang Xian nodded. "Yes."

Wang Zong frowned. "Our cultivation will be sealed in there..."

"His cultivation is sealed too."

At Wang Zong's silence, Wang Xian continued, "Clan Leader, you saw how gifted he is. We must not give him any more time to develop. The longer we delay, the more detrimental it will be to our clan. Moreover, if he dies in there, won't his inheritance fall into someone else's hands?"

Wang Zong's eyes narrowed. The First God's inheritance!

The main reason they had sent their entire clan to ambush Ye Guan was the First God's inheritance, which even the gods themselves coveted. If the Wang Clan managed to obtain it…

Wang Zong had already considered the risks. Having it in their possession would naturally put them in danger. After all, it would make everyone target them. However, he was not afraid of it. After all, they had a god backing them. As long as the Wang Clan did not monopolize everything, there would not be any major problems.

"Send some people in to assess the situation," Wang Zong suddenly ordered.

Wang Xian quickly interjected, "We must not do that. Clan Leader, when a lion strikes, it must exert its full force. I suggest we send our entire clan into the First God Paradise at the same time. That is the only way to successfully crush Ye Guan in one fell swoop."

The elder beside him gravely countered, "Grand Elder, it's dangerous to send the whole clan into the First God Paradise together. Our cultivation will be sealed as soon as we enter it. Moreover, it houses a lot of forces that we don't even know anything about."

Wang Xian's expression darkened. "So what if there are local forces inside? If we let them know that we are Descendants of the Divine Spirits, do you think they would still dare attack us? Even if they did, we can simply summon our ancestors."

He then turned to Wang Zong. "In any case, we must not underestimate Ye Guan. If we strike, we must do so with all our might. We must not give him any chances to retaliate."

When Wang Zong chose to remain silent, Wang Xian continued, "This concerns the First God's inheritance. It's worth the risk!"

Seemingly convinced, Wang Zong finally declared, "Let us enter the First God Paradise, then!"

He then walked onward, leading all of the Wang Clan's elites into the First God Paradise.

…

Thanks to the various healing artifacts within the little pagoda, Ye Guan had already fully recovered.

With a solemn expression, Mu Yuan walked up to him. "Their failure to eliminate you will only further fuel their desire to kill you."

"You think they'll risk entering the First God Paradise?" Ye Guan asked.

Mu Yuan nodded.

Ye Guan fell into deep contemplation.

The entire Wang Clan entering the First God Paradise would certainly spell trouble for him. This place would suppress their cultivation, but the same was true for him. If he could still fight despite that, so could they.

However, entering the First God Paradise would put them in a true test of their individual strength. After all, only the strongest could fight even with their cultivation suppressed. Those with weaker strength and willpower would not be able to do so. In that regard, he at least had a slight advantage.

"We have to come up with a plan," Mu Yuan suggested.

Ye Guan smiled. "There's no real plan. We can only face our enemies head-on and adapt as the situation unfolds."

Mu Yuan laughed bitterly. "We need some kind of strategy, at least. Otherwise, they'll simply gang up on us again."

Ye Guan shook his head with a bitter smile. From the beginning, he could not deny that he had experienced being ganged up on many times. It was like starting a new game only to be forced to defeat the final boss right from the beginning.

"Do we have… reinforcements?" Mu Yuan suddenly asked.

He knew that Ye Guan had an extraordinary origin.

Ye Guan frowned. Honestly, he was curious about what his mother, Qin Guan, had been up to…

She should have already integrated the endless universes in the Time River, right?

However, he was even more curious about where his father and Plain Skirt Aunt had wandered off to.

…

Within First God Paradise, amid a vast mountain range, a man and a woman traversed through the air.

The man looked into the depths of the mountains and saw a cave entrance, albeit barely. With a smile, he said, "Another cave ruin."

Besides following Ye Guan, they had been spending their time traveling around the First God Paradise. Simply put, they were sightseeing!

Very quickly, the two walked over to the cave entrance, which had been sealed for an unknown amount of time. A huge stone engraved with a few mysterious symbols was blocking it.

Curious, the man asked, "What are these symbols?"

Looking at the cave, Plain Skirt Destiny's brows furrowed.

"What is it?" the man asked.

She was about to answer when the symbols trembled violently. At the same time, a powerful aura encircled them.

The man frowned, but he did not look afraid. For some reason, he felt so powerful that he thought no one could hurt him... Well, except for Qing'er, but he knew that she would never hurt him.

Not long after, an old man slowly walked out from the symbols. He was wearing a white robe and exuded an aura of immortality.

Looking at the two, his eyes immediately lit up. His lips curved into a smile as he asked, "Are you both willing to accept me as your master?"
