Chapter 64: A Snap of the Finger

Clan Leader Lee Yun’s face turned ugly upon hearing the news about how Ye Guan had conducted a massacre in the True Dragon World. How bold of him!

Lee Yun gathered the Shenge Clan’s strongest cultivators. He found the matter of utmost importance, and it would affect the future of the Shenge Clan.

The cultivators of the Shenge Clan were stupefied upon learning of what Ye Guan had done. How can a Space Shattering Realm cultivator massacre over thirty True Dragons?

Lee Yun swept his gaze across the cultivators and said, “Our clan rejected him, and we even worked together with the True Dragon Clan to try and kill him. He will definitely never forget what we have done, and he will definitely take his revenge on our clan in the future once he has grown enough.”

Everyone’s expression turned solemn.

“I don’t think it’s wise for us to go up there and fight him. We’re still not in a life-or-death crisis, and such a heaven-defying talent definitely has a powerful backer. I suggest we observe for the time being.

“If he ends up surviving this ordeal, we can just show him our goodwill and compromise to resolve the grievances between us,” said Grand Elder Lee Ku.

A few people nodded to agree with him.

However, Lee Yun shook his head and said, “What will the True Dragon Clan think if we just stand idly by and observe from the sidelines? Everyone, I hope you haven’t forgotten that the True Dragon Clan is our ally.

“In addition, Ye Guan clearly remembers his grudges. What will happen to our Shenge Clan once he becomes strong enough to settle the score with us?”

Everyone frowned at Lee Yun’s words, and there was worry in their eyes.

“I suggest we organize a group made out of our elites and hunt him down together with the True Dragon Clan!” Lee Yun added.

Grand Elder Lee Ku hesitated before saying, “How about we consult Ancestor before doing anything? Ancestor’s knowledge is extensive, perhaps she knows Ye Guan’s backer.”

The so-called Ancestor was none other than the most outstanding clan leader throughout the Shenge Clan’s history—Lee Ge.

Lee Ge’s intelligence and foresight allowed the Shenge Clan to rise in power. He was an ally of the Sword Master, and it was a relationship born from the former’s intelligence and foresight.

Those with the greatest contribution to the clan would be at the summit of the family register, and Lee Ge was currently at the summit.

Meanwhile, Lee Yun shook his head at Lee Ku’s words and said, “Why do we have to trouble Ancestor over such a small matter? I’m sure Ye Guan’s backer is a Great Sword Immortal at most. Our clan is perfectly capable of killing a Great Sword Immortal without Ancestor.”

Lee Ku went silent upon hearing that.

It didn’t take long for the Shenge Clan to make a decision, and they soon mobilized their elites to find Ye Guan.

…

Li Yungang let out a long sigh upon hearing about Ye Guan’s massacre.

It was a pity! A pity, indeed!

If they had only accepted Ye Guan upon his visit to the Li Clan…

Li Yungang shook his head once more. The True Dragon Clan wasn’t that scary in his eyes, but the An Clan was a different story. They couldn’t afford to offend the An Clan over anyone.

It was a pity, but Li Yungang had no regrets.

Li Banzhi had just told them that the Chosen One of the new generation was about to appear, and Li Yungang had decided to rope the Chosen One into his clan once the Chosen One’s identity was revealed.

The Li Clan had already exhausted its potential. If they wanted to become even more powerful, they could only try and rope in the Chosen One of the new generation.

They would surely become a part of the Main Guanxuan Academy with the Chosen One on their side. By then, it wouldn’t be an overstatement to say that they would flourish.

It was clear that Ye Guan wasn’t the Chosen One.

The Chosen One wouldn’t have allowed themselves to be in such an ordeal.

…

Monk Dao stopped eating and drinking his wine upon hearing of what Ye Guan had done in the True Dragon World.

Nanling Yiyi was obviously worried.

“Master, will Junior Disciple be fine?”

Monk Dao looked at her and said, “I don’t know, but now, I’m definitely in trouble.”

“He didn’t do anything wrong,” Nanling Yiyi sounded serious as she said, “You’ve already killed one of them, so why not kill more?”

Monk Dao sighed and chuckled bitterly.

Ye Guan had killed so many dragons, so there was no way the True Dragon Clan would let them go. In other words, the conflict between Ye Guan and the True Dragon Clan had become a bonafide blood feud!

Even worse, Ye Guan had stolen their dragon eggs. He had crossed the line. The True Dragon Clan’s fertility rate was extremely low, so Ye Guan’s action of stealing their eggs was truly beyond their bottom line.

Monk Dao sighed once more.

Soon, he stood up and said, “Brat, you should go down the mountain and find a place to hide!”

Nanling Yiyi blinked a few times before saying, “All right…”

With that, she turned around and left.

She very much wanted to help, but she knew that she was too weak to fight the True Dragon Clan. She would only become a burden to her junior disciple and her master if she were to fight here.

She was still weak, so she could only step aside.

It was much better than bringing everyone down with her.

Within the great hall, Monk Dao turned and looked at the incense table in front of him. Over there, there was a painting of a mutilated body; only the upper half of the body could be seen, and the lower half of the body was absent. In the figure’s right hand, it was holding a brush.

Left all alone, Monk Dao looked down at the incense table in front of him and stared at a grotesque painting depicting a figure. The figure was missing its lower half, and it was holding a brush.

It was rumored that the figure in the painting was the founder of the Daoist Sect.

Monk Dao was silent for a few moments before he finally said, “Ancestor, please protect our Daoist Sect! We’re already miserable. If you don’t do anything, our sect will be wiped off the face of the earth!”

With that, Monk Dao turned around to leave.

Ye Guan was his disciple, so he decided to take care of the former until the bitter end.

Screw it! Ye Guan was right. It doesn’t matter if our chances of winning are low, we should just fight first and cross the bridge once we get there. All right, let’s do this!

…

Ye Guan was currently hiding in a dense forest. He sat cross-legged as he absorbed the spiritual energy from his gold spiritual crystals at an astonishing rate.

He currently had eight hundred thousand gold spiritual crystals. Aside from the gold spiritual crystals, he had fourteen True Dragon carcasses. Ye Guan reckoned that he would make a fortune upon selling them.

The carcasses’ internal pills were still intact as well. He decided not to dig them out because the carcasses were more valuable with their internal pills intact.

Ye Guan took a deep breath. He took out an iron pot and started cooking a few slabs of dragon meat. He had been eating dragon meat and drinking dragon blood every day to strengthen his physique since he started hiding from the True Dragon Clan.

Little Pagoda suddenly asked, “What are your plans?”

Plans? Ye Guan’s eyes narrowed as he responded, “I’m sure the True Dragon Clan is doing its best to look for me at the moment.”

“You’re too weak to fight them,” Little Pagoda said.

“Yes, and that is why I won’t fight them head-on. I’ll play dirty,” said Ye Guan.

“What are you going to do?” asked Little Pagoda.

Ye Guan sounded calm as he replied, “I’ll ambush and assassinate them!”

Little Pagoda went silent.

A cold light flashed in Ye Guan’s eyes as he said, “It’s a great plan because not only will I be able to avenge Little Jia, but I will also become even stronger in the process.”

Life-or-death battles were indeed the fastest way to become even stronger.

“Do you have any concrete plans?” Little Pagoda asked.

Ye Guan nodded and replied, “Master Pagoda, what do you think? Is the True Dragon Clan hoping for my return?”

Little Pagoda went silent.

Eventually, he praised Ye Guan. “How fierce!”

Ye Guan smiled at the compliment and got up. Moments later, he vanished into the distance, leaving only his afterimage behind.

…

Ao Tian soon arrived at Yue City. Yue City was one of the Zhongtu Divine Continent’s ten large cities. It was a vast and thriving city with a population of more than a hundred million people.

Ao Tian visited the Immortal Treasures Pavilion. The Immortal Treasures Pavilion was also known for its intelligence network that rivaled even the Guanxuan Academy’s vast intelligence network.

Manager Chen Diao walked up to Ao Tian and asked politely, “Clan Leader Ao Tian, are you here because of Ye Guan?”

Ao Tian nodded without saying anything.

Chen Diao shook his head and said, “Clan Leader Ao Tian, our Immortal Treasures Pavilion does not get involved in trivial matters.”

Ao Tian stared deeply at Chen Diao before taking out a storage ring and handing it over to the latter.

Chen Diao promptly examined the storage ring and discovered five hundred thousand gold spiritual crystals in it.

Chen Diao chuckled and said, “Clan Leader Ao Tian, what is the meaning of this?”

Ao Tian remained calm as he responded, “I just want to be your friend, Manager Chen.”

Chen Diao chuckled once more and said, “Young Lord Ye’s origins are complicated!”

Ao Tian frowned and asked, “Complicated?”

Chen Diao nodded and explained, “A Great Sword Immortal is his backer. The Immortal Treasures Pavilion had attempted to investigate his backer’s background, but we could not find any traces of them.

“In other words, they must be quite extraordinary for a Great Sword Immortal.”

Ao Tian scoffed and said, “So what? They’re just Great Sword Immortal. It doesn’t matter even if they appear to intervene, our True Dragon Clan can kill a Great Sword Immortal with a snap of our fingers!”
