Chapter 773: Your Grandpa is Even More Violent

"Brother Ye Guan?"

Yi Nian blinked at Ye Guan's words, unsure of how to respond.

Ye Guan laughed at her silence and said, "I'll take your silence as yes."

Yi Nian. "..."

Just then, they turned to the right and saw the man in white and the man in black fighting fiercely in the distance.

Waves of powerful shockwaves swept across the surroundings, and the earth trembled as he fought.

However, Ye Guan frowned. Their attacks were creating spacetime waves, but they weren't strong enough to actually shatter them.

Moreover, the shockwaves of their attacks would disappear like a stone thrown into the ocean as soon as they neared the stone pillar or the terrifying face in the cliff.

How strange...

Ye Guan opened his palm, sensing the spacetime around him. He quickly realized that the spacetime here was incredibly dense.

If the outside world's spacetime was like paper, the spacetime here was like a thick wall.

What an extraordinary place.

Ye Guan turned to look at the terrifying face in the distant cliff. Even from afar, the sight of it sent a shiver down his spine, making his heart skip a beat.

Ye Guan withdrew his gaze, growing increasingly cautious about this place.

He had the Qingxuan Sword, but he couldn't fully harness its power.

If he encountered a supreme elite with a hundred percent divinity, his chances of winning were slim.

It was best to stay low-key and humble here.

Yi Nian glanced at the terrifying face in the cliff, but her expression remained calm.

Bang!

The man in white and the man in black separated. A kaleidoscope of spear light and saber light erupted, distorting the nearby spacetime.

They stopped fighting upon noticing that Ye Guan and Yi Nian were heading off into the distance.

Ye Guan had no interest in watching their fight.

He was extremely curious about the unknown civilization that left these ruins, and he was certain that they were at least a Tier Four civilization.

The ruins of the long-gone civilization here were extremely weathered, which meant that it had been a really long time since their fall.

Thus, even though he was cautious, Ye Guan wasn't exactly worried.

Ye Guan recalled something just then, and he turned to Yi Nian walking beside him.

"Have you ever explored the ruins of a civilization?"

Yi Nian shook her head slightly.

Ye Guan laughed and said, "Okay, just follow me, then. Don't worry about it."

Yi Nian glanced at Ye Guan and nodded slightly.

"This kind of ruins is like secret realms, and there are many ways one can use to explore them. Anyway, there are three main reasons why ruins like this exist—a top-tier supreme elite is waiting for someone to inherit their legacy, or it could also be an evil and greedy cultivator wanting to live again by possessing a talented individual. Lastly..." Ye Guan trailed off to stare at Yi Nian before continuing, "They are sealed, waiting for the day of their freedom."

Yi Nian looked at Ye Guan, intrigued but silent.

"Do you know the key to exploring these ruins?"

Yi Nian shook her head.

"First of all, it is very important to be polite," Ye Guan remarked, "These powerful elites absolutely despite the arrogant. So we need to stay humble and low-key..."

Ye Guan glanced at the terrifying face in the cliff and said, "Let's show some respect first."

He cupped his fist and bowed slightly. They were here to profit, and showing respect was a small price to pay in exchange for a ton of profit.

Yi Nian stared at the terrifying face in the cliff, but she didn't cup her fist and bow like Ye Guan.

Ye Guan turned to her and smiled. "Is this your first time exploring something like this?"

Yi Nian nodded. It wasn't her first time exploring, but her exploration had always been limited to deserted places.

Whenever she found a place bustling with life, she'd annihilate that place and render it deserted. She would then explore what would remain of the once lively civilization.

In other words, this was Yi Nian's first encounter with people from other civilizations.

Ye Guan scrutinized her closely. She was wearing a red dress with a small bamboo waist bag around her waist. Her hair covered half her face, but she didn’t look scary. On the contrary, she seemed delicate and cute.

Ye Guan transmitted,

"Master Pagoda, can you see through her?"

Yi Nian seemed weak, but he doubted that she was weak.

Anyone weak wouldn't survive the harsh vast expanse for a long time, and the fact that she was here meant that she had extraordinary strength.

It was better to err on the side of caution!

Little Pagoda belatedly replied, "She's just a Divine Dao Realm cultivator."

Ye Guan was quiet.

It seems Master Pagoda can't see through her either. He's not really reliable, but he's not going to lie when it comes to something like this. The fact that even he can't discern her true nature means that she's an extraordinary expert!

"Don't overthink it," Little Pagoda said, "She's not hostile toward you, so just treat her as you would treat other people."

"You're right," said Ye Guan with a nod. He then turned to Yi Nian and asked, "Are you out here by yourself?"

Yi Nian nodded wordlessly.

Ye Guan grinned. "Same here. Let's team up."

Yi Nian smiled lightly and nodded.

Ye Guan then stared at the distant terrifying face in the cliff.

A massive stone door was beneath the terrifying face of the cliff, and it was a door covered in mysterious inscriptions.

"Let's go," Ye Guan said.

With that, he and Yi Nian vanished and reappeared before the stone door.

The man in white and the man in black also arrived behind them.

Ye Guan turned and smiled at them. "Done fighting?"

The man in black looked at Ye Guan and asked, "You're a swordsman?"

Ye Guan nodded.

The man in black's eyes narrowed, and a glint of battle intent appeared in them.

Ye Guan quickly waved his hand. "Now's not the time to fight. We can just spar once we're done exploring these ruins. What do you think about that?"

The man in black pondered briefly before the battle intent in his eyes faded slowly. His main goal for coming here was to explore the ruins.

Moreover, if he were to insist on fighting Ye Guan, the man in white would benefit greatly from it.

The man in white walked up to the stone door and thrust his spear toward it.

Bang!

The instant the spear touched the door, the man in white's face changed dramatically. The next second, he was sent flying hundreds of meters away.

The ground trembled violently as he collided with it, and his spear shattered into pieces.

Ye Guan's eyelids twitched. He turned to the stone door, deeply shaken by its power.

The man in black glanced at the door, and his expression became solemn.

The man in white reappeared before the stone door, and he cast a wary gaze at it. He didn't dare to attack it again.

Just then, everyone sensed something and turned to the distant horizon.

A dragon's head had just broken through the clouds and was making a beeline for them.

The earth shook as a colossal dragon, thousands of meters long, came into view. A man in brocade robes with his chest exposed stood on the colossal dragon.

The man's long hair billowing over his shoulders and his face covered in thick makeup made him appear bizarre and freaky.

Several beautiful ladies stood around the man in brocade robes, and each of them was dressed scantily, revealing their curves enticingly.

Ye Guan was taken aback by the man in brocade robes' grand entrance.

All of a sudden, a mysterious force stopped the dragon. The man in brocade robes laughed boisterously before leading the group of ladies to the stone door.

He swept his gaze across Ye Guan and the others before opening his mouth to speak.

However, no one understood what he was saying.

Upon realizing that he was unintelligible to everyone else, the man in brocade robes took out a crystal ball and pointed at it before pointing at his head.

Ye Guan hesitated briefly before walking over and touching the crystal ball. He transmitted his civilization's language and script into it.

The man in black waved his sleeve, sending his civilization's language and script into the crystal ball.

The man in white remained indifferent, not even glancing at the man in brocade.

The man in brocade smiled and looked at the man in white.

However, the man in white proceeded to ignore him once again.

And that was when the man in brocade robes pulled out an iron hammer, swinging it at the man in white.

The man in white's eyes narrowed, clearly taken aback by the ambush. However, he reacted quickly and summoned a spear to meet the hammer.

Boom!

A thunderous boom echoed at the moment of collision, and the man in white was sent flying hundreds of meters away.

The space around him distorted greatly—a testament to the man in brocade robes' strength.

The man in white twisted in the air to recover his balance, but the hammer made a beeline for him, reducing him to a bloody paste.

It was an instant kill.

The man in brocade robes looked down contemptuously at the bloody paste. "No one in this vast expanse is allowed to be more arrogant than me, Dai Zong!"

The man in black cast a deep and wary gaze at Dai Zong.

Ye Guan shook his head, thinking.

People out here are too violent! They kill at the slightest provocation!

Little Pagoda saw through Ye Guan's thoughts and remarked, "Your grandfather is even more violent."

"Really?"

"How do you think your bloodline was made? And have you forgotten its name? It's called Mad Demon Bloodline because your grandfather went mad, fighting everyone within his line of sight."

Ye Guan was speechless.

"If your grandfather were here, everyone would die except for you."

"What if it's my father?" Ye Guan asked, sounding curious.

Little Pagoda pondered briefly before saying, "If your father were here, he’d trick everyone into selling everything they possess—they'd even thank him for it!"

"Seems like neither my grandfather nor my father are easy to deal with!" Ye Guan remarked with a smile.

"You say that as if you’re better than them," Little Pagoda chided.

Ye Guan had no idea what to say.
