Chapter 664: Our Family

On the other side, not long after Ye Guan had left, as if sensing something, he suddenly stopped and turned his head.

Several dozen kilometers away to the right, stood a middle-aged man in a long robe. The appearance of the man was silent and stealthy.

The man in the long robe looked at Ye Guan, "Shall we talk?"

Ye Guan replied calmly, "Are you from the Zhen Clan or the Ancient Wilderness?"

The man in the long robe smiled, "Why don't you guess, Young Master Ye?"

Ye Guan shook his head, "Let's not play these guessing games. Let's get straight to the point."

The man in the long robe stared at Ye Guan, his smile gradually fading. "Forty percent of all profits in Dao Market belong to my Ancient Wilderness. And now, all the wealth of Dao Market is in your hands. You must hand over that forty percent profit."

Ye Guan smiled, "The Zhen Clan has sent people to kill me multiple times. How do you account for that?"

The man in the long robe shook his head, "That's not our concern. We'll give you one day to consider. If you haven't handed it over by then, I guarantee you, Young Master Ye, no matter what kind of force is behind you, it will disappear from this world, and of course, so will you."

With that, he turned and left.

"Wait!" Ye Guan suddenly spoke.

The man in the long robe turned to look at Ye Guan, but Ye Guan suddenly transformed into a sword light and disappeared on the spot.

Qingxuan Sword!

The face of the man in the long robe changed drastically in an instant. He hadn't expected Ye Guan to take action. By the time he reacted, Ye Guan's sword had already struck.

𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Swoosh!

The head of the man in the long robe flew out directly.

Blood gushed out like a fountain!

Ye Guan silently collected the storage ring of the man in the long robe, then said, "No one dares to speak to me like that."

With that, he turned and left.

The man in the long robe was speechless.

At the moment Ye Guan killed the man in the long robe, he knew what it meant. It meant war! But for him, it didn't matter. He was someone willing to reason, but he knew very well that in this world, only if your fists were hard enough would others reason with you.

Shortly after Ye Guan left, the space where he had been suddenly trembled, and then, two figures appeared in the area. A man and a lady! The lady was dressed in a white robe, with a high ponytail, exuding a heroic aura and stunning beauty. Beside her, the man wore a splendid robe, bearing a close resemblance to the lady, handsome and extraordinary.

The man said in a deep voice, "Sis, this person is quite arrogant."

The woman's lips curled slightly. "Indeed, he is very arrogant. When he says kill, he does it... Quite extraordinary!"

"It seems we won't be able to reason with him."

"Why do you think he dares to be so arrogant?"

"He destroyed the Dao Palace and became full of himself."

He then shook his head and continued, "The Dao Palace is insignificant. He probably thinks that the strength of our Zhen Clan and the Ancient Wilderness is only slightly stronger than the Dao Palace, so he behaves so recklessly. Unfortunately, he's mistaken. The foundation of our Zhen Clan is not something a small Dao Palace can compare to."

The woman shook her head. "Wrong."

Turning to face her, the man furrowed his brow. "Wrong?"

The woman said calmly, "If you were to duel him, what are the odds of winning?"

The man's expression immediately turned unpleasant.

This Ye Guan had slain Dao Ran, the master of Dao Market, who was a strongman at fifty percent divinity. With his current strength, he was naturally no match for someone at fifty percent divinity.

The woman said calmly, "Look at his age, he's still young, yet he possesses such terrifying strength. Do you think that's normal?"

The man shook his head, "It's impossible for there to be a fourth superpower in this world. If there were, we would surely know about it."

But the woman shook her head. "One cannot speak so absolutely. The universe is infinitely vast, and anything is possible."

The man said in a deep voice, "So what do you mean, sis?"

The woman smiled, "Father sent us to handle this matter this time, obviously to train us. For us, this is an opportunity. If we handle it properly, we will have more opportunities in the future, and our position in the family will become more stable..."

Looking at Ye Guan's departing figure in the distance, she continued, "I want to make a bold decision."

The man was somewhat surprised. "A bold decision?"

The woman nodded. "Yes."

The man was curious. "What decision?"

But the woman just smiled and remained silent.

The man shrugged. "Here we go again."

...

Ye Guan returned to the Dao Market. Despite experiencing several battles, it hadn't been destroyed due to the powerful formations set up by the superpowers. However, the Dao Market was now deserted, with no one around and no merchants occupying the stalls. In fact, all the Dao Markets were basically closed at this time. No one dared to open for business.

The reason was obvious: the Dao Palace had just been destroyed, and everyone was watching to see who would emerge victorious between Ye Guan, the Ancient Wilderness, and the Zhen Clan. Of course, most people were betting on the Ancient Wilderness and the Zhen Clan.

Taking a glance at the desolate Dao Market, Ye Guan knew he had to quickly find a way to resolve the issues with the Zhen Clan and the Ancient Wilderness, or else the Dao Market might never reopen.

Just as Ye Guan was about to leave, footsteps suddenly approached from the side. Turning around, he saw a man and a woman slowly approaching.

Ye Guan observed them in silence.

When the two reached him, the woman smiled and said, "Hello, Young Master Ye. I'm Zhen Nanxue, and this is my brother, Zhen Ling."

The Zhen Clan!

Ye Guan smiled faintly. "Do you need something?"

Zhen Nanxue nodded towards a nearby small shop. "Shall we talk inside?"

After a moment of consideration, Ye Guan nodded. "Sure."

The three entered the shop and sat down. Zhen Nanxue brought out a jug of wine and three cups. She poured a cup for Ye Guan and said, "This is the Ten Thousand Year Immortal Brew of our Zhen Clan. Young Master Ye, please have a taste."

Ye Guan didn't refuse. He raised the cup and drank it all in one gulp. As the wine entered his body, he felt as if a fire was burning within him. However, he soon felt surprised because he noticed that his cultivation had actually increased.

It can increase his cultivation!

At this moment, Zhen Ling suddenly spoke, "This wine is brewed with Ancestral Origins and various rare spiritual herbs and fruits. Even strongmen in the Divine Realm can increase their cultivation by drinking it."

Ye Guan nodded slightly. "This is indeed precious."

Zhen Ling said calmly, "It's not that precious. Within our Zhen Clan, this wine is just a common item...Even our servants can drink it."

Ye Guan suddenly realized that they were here to show off.

He said suddenly, "This place is too crude to entertain esteemed guests. Let's find another place to talk."

With that, he led the siblings into the Little Pagoda.

As soon as they entered the pagoda, the expressions of Zhen Nanxue and Zhen Ling changed instantly.

Obviously, they had noticed that the inside was different from the outside.

Zhen Nanxue's expression became solemn. "Ye Guan, the time inside this pagoda..."

Ye Guan nodded. "Ten years inside is equivalent to one day outside."

Upon hearing this, the siblings exchanged a glance, their hearts filled with unimaginable shock.

Seeing their astonishment, Ye Guan was somewhat surprised. "What's wrong? Doesn't your Zhen Clan have this?"

Zhen Nanxue and Zhen Ling remained silent.

Zhen Ling stared at Ye Guan, knowing that this guy was just showing off.

Ye Guan continued, "Such a simple item that creates time difference...The Zhen Clan...Can't possibly not have it, right?"

At his words, the expressions of Zhen Nanxue and Zhen Ling became even more grim.

Zhen Ling said in a deep voice, "Ye Guan, is this item very common in your family?"

Ye Guan nodded. "To be honest, it is quite common. Almost every member of the younger generation in our family has one."

The Little Pagoda remained silent.

Zhen Ling stared at Ye Guan intently. "Every member?"

Ye Guan nodded. "Yes."

Zhen Ling sneered. "Ye Guan, isn't that a bit exaggerated? Such a divine item is rare in the entire universe, and every member of your family has one? You're just boasting!"

Ye Guan was somewhat surprised. "Rare? Brother Ling, you're mistaken. Such divine items are indeed common in my Yang family. If you don't believe me, I can show you others."

Zhen Ling immediately said, "Show me quickly."

Ye Guan calmly took out the Qingxuan Sword and handed it to Zhen Ling. "Take a look."

Upon seeing the Qingxuan Sword, the expressions of Zhen Nanxue and Zhen Ling once again became extremely solemn.

Having seen much of the world, they immediately recognized that this item was extraordinary.

Zhen Ling picked up the Qingxuan Sword and examined it for a while. Then, as if he had remembered something, he took out an ancient shield and lightly used the sword to scratch it.

Crack!

The ancient shield split in half instantly, as if it were tofu being cut.

Unbelievable.

The siblings exchanged a glance, both showing a hint of shock. After all, they knew that the ancient shield they possessed was a divine item at the Divine Realm level. However, it appeared so fragile in front of this sword?

This was not normal!

Ye Guan chuckled. "How about this sword?"

Zhen Nanxue's voice was heavy. "Ye Guan, what is this sword?"

Ye Guan replied, "Qingxuan Sword. In my Yang family's younger generation, everyone has one."

Everyone has one!

Upon hearing Ye Guan's words, the corners of Zhen Nanxue and Zhen Ling's mouths twitched. They naturally didn't believe that Ye Guan's family could be so extravagant, with everyone having such a sword.

That was too exaggerated!

They wouldn't believe it even if they were beaten to death.

Just then, Ye Guan suddenly said, "Miss Nanyue, Brother Ling, what is the monthly salary in your Zhen Clan?"

Zhen Ling said in a deep voice, "We receive two hundred Ancestral Origins each month..."

"What!" Ye Guan suddenly sat up straight, "Only two hundred Ancestral Origins per month? That's so little?"

Zhen Ling's throat rolled. "Is...is that still little?"

Ye Guan sighed softly, but said nothing.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhen Ling asked, "How much does your family receive each month?"

Ye Guan waved his hand, and twenty Ancestral Veins appeared not far behind him. He calmly said, "Our family doesn't distribute Ancestral Origins, only Ancestral Veins. We receive one Ancestral Vein per month."

Zhen Ling was dumbfounded.

So was Zhen Nanxue.

And so was Little Pagoda.
