Chapter 662: Visiting the God Clan

Old Zhao's expression turned ugly at the sight. He didn't expect that they would all choose to leave.

Are they playing hard to get?

Old Zhao thought, but he soon realized that they were not playing hard to get at all. They truly wanted to leave.

Old Zhao frowned in confusion.

Ye Guan did not stop them, allowing them to leave. He didn't lack talents. Qin Guan had groomed many talents, and he expected this to happen.

Old Zhao hesitantly muttered, "Young Master Ye..."

Ye Guan smiled. "Don't worry. Help me keep tabs on them. If they dare to take anything away from Dao Market, kill them."

"Alright!" Old Zhao nodded and left.

Ye Guan looked at the people leaving before turning around to leave as well.

***

Old Zhao caught up with the group of hundred or so people.

Old Zhao walked up to the black-robed middle-aged, who was obviously the leader of the group.

"Ruo Zhen, what is this?" Old Zhao asked.

Ruo Zhen blandly replied, "Old Zhao, do you really think that he can deal with the Ancient Wilderness and the Zhen Clan?"

Old Zhao was silent. Although Ye Guan demonstrated horrifying strength, they were talking about the Ancient Wilderness and the Zhen Clan here.

The Ancient Wilderness and the Zhen Clan were superpowers! Truthfully speaking, Old Zhao wasn't confident that Ye Guan could deal with them. However, he knew that Young Master Ye was not afraid of those two superpowers at all.

"A little boy actually dreams of controlling the Dao Market," Ruo Zhen sneered, "I'd consider staying if he were to lower himself, treat me respectfully, and offer more incentives. However, it's really funny how he's so arrogant like he wants everyone to bow down before him and serve him."

Old Zhao swept his gaze across everyone, and he saw that they all looked indignant. Old Zhao shook his head without saying anything—these fools were blind.

However, he could understand where they were coming from. They had long gotten used to being arrogant, and they couldn't stand to see anyone else acting more arrogantly than them.

Perhaps Young Master Ye was too weak to defeat the Ancient Wilderness and the Zhen Clan. However, Ye Guan could easily kill these hundred or so people.

Old Zhao didn't bother saying anything as he turned around to leave.

Ruo Zhen called out, "Old Zhao, are you really going to keep following him?"

Old Zhao turned to Ruo Zhen.

Ruo Zhen stared back at Old Zhao and said, "I heard that the Ancient Wilderness and the Zhen Clan are going to take action soon. Young Master Ye will definitely die by then. It's still not too late for you to change your mind. Don't wait until there is no chance to turn back..."

Old Zhao shook his head and left without saying anything.

"Death-seeking fool," Ruo Zhen sneered and walked away with everyone else. In their opinion, the Ancient Wilderness and the Zhen Clan would not let Ye Guan go, and he believed that the latter would not be able to deal with those two superpowers. Once Ye Guan was dead, the Dao Market and its branches would fall into the hands of the two superpowers.

They could simply watch and wait; hopefully, they'd reap some profits amidst the conflict.

***

Ye Guan returned to the First God Universe. He brought Erya and Little White to the section of the starry sky where the old pallbearer could be found.

The old pallbearer was still there, and it made sense, as Plain-Skirt Lady's sword energy was keeping him in place.

The old pallbearer's expression changed drastically upon seeing their arrival. He looked at Erya and Little White in horror and muttered, "You two..."

He could never forget how Erya and Little White had stolen the coffin that he had been protecting for many years.

Erya licked her candied haw and nonchalantly asked, "What about us?"

The old pallbearer was silent.

Ye Guan suddenly spoke, "Old man, I want to ask you something."

The old pallbearer turned to Ye Guan, and his face sank upon seeing the latter. "You..."

Ye Guan summoned the lady in a white skirt, and the old pallbearer's face changed drastically upon seeing the lady.

Ye Guan said, "Who is she?"

The old pallbearer went as pale as a sheet of paper. He lowered his head and dared not speak.

"Last chance to speak," Ye Guan said with a cold expression. He had no good feelings toward this old pallbearer. The old man had boldly claimed that he would give Ye Guan a beating, but he ran away when he couldn't keep his word.

Ye Guan had returned to ask for the origin of the lady in white as well as to take revenge.

However, he didn't expect that the old man would get stuck here.

Upon seeing the murderous glint in Ye Guan's eyes, the old pallbearer was startled. He looked at the lady in a white skirt and hesitated for a while before saying, "She's from a god clan."

Ye Guan frowned. "She's from a god clan?"

"Yes."

Ye Guan turned to look at the lady in a white skirt and asked, "Is she from the First God's clan?"

The old pallbearer shook his head. "I don't know."

Ye Guan frowned.

The old pallbearer immediately added, "I only know that she's from a god clan. I don't know whether she's from the First God's clan or not..."

Ye Guan was silent for a while. "Who asked you to protect her? Was it the First God?"

The old pallbearer nodded. "

Mmhm.

"

"Why?"

"He only asked me to protect her; he did not tell me why. However, the First God did say that I can leave once she awakens."

Ye Guan turned to look at the slightly surprised lady in a white skirt and sighed under his breath. It seemed like they had to go visit the legendary God Clan if they wanted to know her true identity.

However, the First God didn't really have a great relationship with the other Gods. If Ye Guan brought her along with him, there were bound to be issues. However, Ye Guan couldn't keep her by his side forever.

Meanwhile, the old pallbearer looked like he wanted to say something.

Ye Guan looked at him. "Speak."

The old pallbearer replied, "She's definitely from the God Clan. However, the First God mentioned that she can't go back to her clan and that she should decide her own future by herself..."

The old pallbearer quietly glanced at the lady in a white skirt.

After a while, the lady in a white skirt replied, "I want to go back."

She then looked at Ye Guan.

Ye Guan gave it a moment of consideration before deciding to help her all the way. "I will bring you to see the God Clan. However, the First God doesn't have a great relationship with those clans. I believe that you don't have a great relationship with them as well, so it is going to be dangerous..."

The lady in a white skirt nodded and said, "I know, but I would like to go back to have a look. Otherwise, I will never find out my true identity."

"Then, let's go and visit them." Ye Guan nodded. He then looked at the old pallbearer and asked, "Do you know how to visit them?"

The old pallbearer shook his head. "No, I have never been there."

Ye Guan nodded and led everyone else away. He would have to find Old Zhao to know more about the God Clan.

The old pallbearer called out, "Wait!"

Ye Guan turned to look at the old pallbearer.

The old pallbearer hesitated before asking, "Can you release me?"

"No," Ye Guan said, shaking his head. He then led Erya, Little White, and the lady in a white skirt away.

The old pallbearer's expression stiffened, and his face grew sinister as he watched them leave. "Just wait! Wait and see what I will do to you!"

The old pallbearer shut his eyes and snarled, "This damn sword energy... that damn lady..."

Rumble!

The sword energy within him trembled, and...

Boom!

It exploded, destroying his fleshly body.

The old pallbearer had no idea what to say.

***

On the other side, Ye Guan was walking slowly with Erya, Little White, and the lady in a white skirt.

Ye Guan turned to look at the lady in a white skirt. Seeing her sullen expression, Ye Guan hesitated before saying, "Don't think too much about it. You should learn your true identity once we're there."

The lady in a white skirt looked at him and said, "Thank you."

Ye Guan smiled. "No problem."

The lady in a white skirt hesitated before asking, "Is it going to be very troublesome for us to visit the God Clan?"

"Possibly."

The lady in a white skirt looked at Ye Guan.

Ye Guan smiled and said, "We're just going to ask around for your background. We're not going to kick up a fuss, so it shouldn't be a big deal. If they really want to beat us up, then we're just going to run away."

The lady in a white skirt smiled and said, "Thank you."

Soon, Ye Guan found Old Zhao.

"You want to visit the God Clan?" asked Old Zhao, sounding surprised.

Ye Guan nodded quietly.

Old Zhao said seriously, "It's going to be difficult..."

Ye Guan was curious. "What do you mean?"

"Their world isn't open to outsiders, and it is impossible for outsiders to enter their world without any invitation. If we barge in, we'll easily cause a misunderstanding."

Ye Guan thought about it before asking, "Can we request for an invitation?"

Old Zhao nodded. "That might work."

"Do it for me, then."

"All right," Old Zhao said before leaving.

Ye Guan turned to Erya and smiled. "Once I'm done with this, let's go on an archeological expedition."

Ye Guan was actually quite excited to go on an archeological expedition. He was about to create his own force, and he needed money to do so.

He was rich, but it was always better to have more money. Ye Guan realized after his breakthrough that money was truly important to a cultivator. The only reason he reached the Imperial Sovereign Realm was that he had enough cultivation resources to do so. If it hadn't been for those cultivation resources, it would have been difficult for him to make a breakthrough. It wasn't just him—Ao Qianqian needed a ton of resources as well, and she needed it the most right now, as she was trying to reach the Human Dao Realm, which meant that she was consuming a terrifying amount of resources everyday.

Having a wife was truly expensive...

Old Zhao returned, and his expression was ugly.

Ye Guan was confused. "What's wrong?"

Old Zhao's face sank as he replied, "The God Clan says that you have no right to visit them."
