Shen Ye was increasingly curious about the mysterious individuals backing Ye Guan up. He wanted to know exactly how strong they were. Throughout their journey, he discovered that Ye Guan seemed to have one trick after another up his sleeve. Even now, his intuition told him that Ye Guan had even more trump cards that he hadn't used yet. He was eager to see just how terrifying those trump cards were.

Just then, Ye Guan said, "From now on, everything in the Dao Market belongs to me…"

Then, he called Old Zhao over, and Old Zhao bowed respectfully to him.

Shen Ye was shocked. He couldn't have imagined, even in his wildest dreams, that Ye Guan would eventually kill Dao Ran.

Ye Guan was truly terrifying.

Even though he knew that Ye Guan's strange sword was a big part of the reason that Ye Guan managed to do it, it was still a terrifying feat. After all, Ye Guan was only in the Heavenly Sovereign Realm!

Old Zhao couldn't be happier that he had made a wise choice in the past to side with Ye Guan. If he hadn't made

that

choice, his fate would have been quite different today.

Old Zhao set aside his thoughts and said, "Young Lord Ye, the annual income of the Dao Market is stored in the Dao Treasury, and this treasury can be found in Dao Ran's storage ring…"

Ye Guan opened his palm, and a storage ring appeared in his hand. This storage ring was acquired after he killed Dao Ran.

Upon seeing this storage ring, Gu Su's face instantly changed. He said, "Young Lord Ye, many of the things inside this ring belong to the various major powers…"

Before he could finish his sentence, Ye Guan looked at him with a calm gaze, yet it made Gu Su's heart tighten. He no longer dared to speak, as he knew that this young man already had the intention of killing him.

Shen Ye frowned. Gu Su was seriously lacking manners. Shen Ye had asked Ye Guan for a favor because of his past relationship with him, but instead of cherishing this second chance, Gu Su was shooting his mouth off.

Gu Su sighed when he saw Shen Ye's face. He finally understood that this young man did not fear those major powers at all. If he were fearful of them, he would be worried about them instead of going straight for the Dao Market.

However, Gu Su was puzzled about one thing. Apart from the God Clan, who else in the world could be stronger than the Zhen Clan and the Ancient Wilderness?

Meanwhile, Ye Guan did not immediately open the storage ring after taking it out. Instead, he turned to look at Erya and Little White beside him. He smiled slightly, then handed the storage ring over to them, saying, "You two can pick first. Take whatever you like and leave the rest to me."

Shen Ye shook his head and smiled.

Young Master Ye is truly a generous person!

Erya and Little White also smiled, feeling glad to see Ye Guan's filial piety.

Erya took the storage ring and they both took a look at it. Very quickly, they retrieved a large crimson seal from it.

Old Zhao and Gu Su's expressions changed upon seeing the crimson-red seal.

Gu Su wanted to say something, but Shen Ye glared at him.

Meanwhile, Old Zhao could only laugh bitterly with a hint of envy in his eyes.

Ye Guan looked at the crimson-red seal. Since this seal had caught the attention of Erya and Little White, he knew that it had to be something extraordinary. These two had very high standards, and if it was something ordinary, they would not even bother to look at it.

Ye Guan asked curiously, "What is that?"

Old Zhao explained, "This is the Milky Way Seal that's left behind by the founder of the Dao Market. It is a divine treasure in the Divine Dao Realm, and it possesses its own divinity, making it extremely powerful. In the hands of a strong cultivator in the Divine Dao Realm, its power is even more terrifying. However, this item has its own ego. The last two Palace Masters could not make it acknowledge them as its master…"

Gu Su frowned upon hearing those words. Indeed, when he took over the Dao Market, he had also obtained this Milky Way Seal. However, it did not acknowledge him as its master.

Gu Su said in a low voice, "This divine item is quite sentimental. Apart from the first Palace Master, it won't acknowledge anyone else as its master..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the Milky Way Seal burst into a golden light and entered Little White's forehead. It acknowledged her as its master!

Gu Su's expression stiffened.

Ye Guan shook his head and smiled. He realized now that there was no divine treasure that Little White could not tame. Despite her flashy appearance, she indeed possessed remarkable abilities.

Erya passed the storage ring back to Ye Guan and said, "This is the only thing that we want."

Ye Guan asked, "Do you want to pick a few more items?"

Erya shook her head and declined, "That's alright; the rest are just some rubbish."

Ye Guan's face darkened.

Gu Su frowned as well.

What? The Dao Market's treasures are just some rubbish?

Old Zhao said, "Young Lord Ye, there's also the Qi Clan. They were involved in the attempt to kill you."

He harbored deep hatred toward the Qi Clan.

Ye Guan nodded slightly and said, "Then, let's head to the Qi Clan."

Old Zhao was delighted. "I'll lead the way."

Ye Guan nodded, before he brought Erya and Little White with him as he followed Old Zhao.

Shen Ye looked at Gu Su and said, "Let's go!"

Gu Su sighed and said, "Shen Ye, I know that Young Lord Ye has extraordinary origins, but you should know how terrifying the Ancient Wilderness and the Zhen Clan are. That storage ring contains a lot of their treasures."

Shen Ye replied, "I know that."

Gu Su was getting curious now. "What exactly are his origins?"

"I don't know either."

"You don't know?"

"I don't know any more than you do, but I am sure that his origins are extremely extraordinary. Just look at the Spirit Progenitor and that evil beast…"

Then, he thought about the tiny pagoda. Apart from Erya and Little White, the tiny pagoda was very terrifying, too! Ten years in the little pagoda was equivalent to one day in the outside world. Wasn't that crazy?

From Ye Guan's followers to his possessions... everything was extraordinary.

Gu Su looked around quietly with a complex light in his eyes. From now on, the Dao Market belonged to someone else. Although he felt slightly reluctant at the fact, he was powerless to do anything about it.

He turned around and left. For some reason, he appeared much older than just a few seconds ago.

Shen Ye looked at his departing figure and sighed to himself before leaving as well.

***

Qi Clan.

The elites of the Qi Clan had gathered as if they were about to face a great enemy.

They had received the news of Dao Ran's death at the hands of Ye Guan. Qi Ling was stunned upon hearing the news. Clearly, he didn't expect that Ye Guan would go straight for Dao Ran after making his way to the Dao Market.

Dao Ran was a Divine Dao Realm cultivator, and the Dao Market was also covered with terrifying formations along with powerful experts.

Once the initial shock was over, Qi Ling was afraid. He knew very well that the Qi Clan's strength was far inferior to that of the Dao Market's strength.

Since Ye Guan was strong enough to annihilate the Dao Market, then he could surely annihilate the Qi Clan as well.

Qi Ling closed his eyes slowly and called out, "Qi Mu."

Qi Mu walked out slowly from the crowd with an ashen face. Everyone in the Qi Clan was staring at him. If Qi Mu had not targeted Ye Guan back then, the Qi Clan would not have been teetering on the edge of total annihilation today.

He was a disgrace to the entire clan!

Meanwhile, Qi Mu was feeling nervous. He knew that Ye Guan and Old Zhao would soon come here to take revenge. Unfortunately, the Qi Clan would no longer find a way out for him.

Qi Mu was truly regretting his actions. Especially when he had rejected Ye Guan's offer to work together and attack the Dao Market together.

If he hadn't rejected Ye Guan at the time, the Qi Clan would have taken down the Dao Market alongside him. They would have reaped a ton of profit.

What a shame…

Qi Mu sighed.

No use crying over spilled milk.

Qi Ling said, "Elder Mu, I have to borrow something from you."

Qi Mu was alarmed and asked cautiously, "What?"

Qi Ling glared at him and answered, "Your head!"

Qi Mu's expression immediately changed.

A few minutes later, Ye Guan and Old Zhao arrived at the Qi Clan and saw that Qi Ling had already gathered all his clan members, obviously waiting for their arrival.

A bloody head was in Qi Ling's hands, and it obviously belonged to Qi Mu.

Ye Guan felt slightly bewildered upon seeing it.

Old Zhao's expression darkened, but he was shocked deep inside. He didn't expect the Qi Clan to go that far.

Qi Ling bowed deeply toward Ye Guan and said, "Young Lord Ye."

Qi Ling knew that he had to act this way. Receiving humiliation was better than losing one's life.

Ye Guan smiled and said, "Clan Leader Qi, what's the meaning of this?"

Qi Ling replied, "Young Lord Ye, I have just discovered that Qi Mu has chosen to collude with Dao Ran without my permission, and he wanted to harm you…

Sigh,

it really is our bad luck to have had such a corrupt person in our clan!"

Ye Guan was quiet as he stared at Qi Ling.

Qi Ling's expression fell. He knew that he had to do more than this, so he took out a storage ring and passed it to Ye Guan, saying, "Young Lord Ye, this is my Qi Clan's token of goodwill. Please accept it."

There were two Ancestral Veins inside the ring.

Old Zhao made a sidelong glance at Ye Guan, but he didn't say anything.

Ye Guan smiled slightly and said, "A token of goodwill?"

Qi Ling nodded. "Yes."

Ye Guan replied, "That's funny. Everything the Qi Clan has will still end up in my hands by killing you all. Anyway, let's get started!"

Swoosh!

Then, Shen Ye and Erya charged at the enemies.
