Chapter 795: Let’s Finish This One Last Job and Retreat

The old man in black fled for a while and only relaxed when he saw that Ye Guan wasn't chasing after him.

In truth, he still had a chance of winning if the fight had continued, but he no longer wanted to fight Ye Guan.

The young man was a monster.

At only thirty percent divinity, his strength was already on par with a hundred percent divinity expert. It was just too outrageous. The backers beyond such a young prodigy were likely someone beyond a hundred percent divinity.

Even if he managed to kill such a prodigy, it would bring endless trouble. Hence, he decisively chose to avoid further conflict and the potential karmic consequences by surrendering his wealth.

The old man in black glanced at the distant horizon, and a complicated light flashed in his eyes. “The inheritance of a Tier Four civilization..."

It was tempting, but he still turned around and left. Despite his many thoughts, he knew that staying alive was most important. For a lone cultivator like him without any backing, avoiding this kind of trouble was the best course of action.

***

Meanwhile, Ye Guan examined the old man in black's storage ring and found six ancestral veins inside.

Ye Guan put away the ring and gazed at the distant horizon. If the old man hadn't lied, many were likely targeting him now.

The inheritance of a Tier Four civilization. Many people would find such a temptation impossible to resist. However, he truly had no idea which civilization was targeting him; all he had to know was that he had to start investigating as soon as possible.

Putting his thoughts aside, Ye Guan said, “Master Pagoda, help me conceal my aura.”

Little Pagoda responded, “Okay.”

With Little Pagoda’s assistance, Ye Guan’s aura was masked. He then transformed into a streak of sword light that disappeared into the horizon.

***

Soon, Ye Guan arrived at the ruins of the Arcanist Civilization. His intuition told him that many would come here to explore the ruins. Sure enough, as soon as he reached the place, he saw quite a few people lingering in front of the stone gate. Occasionally, the stone gate would open, letting one person in, and each person who came out was visibly excited.

Ye Guan muttered, "What exactly is this Arcanist Civilization trying to do?"

This continuous trading by the Arcanist Civilization seemed very unusual.

Little Pagoda suddenly spoke, "You gave the blood-red coffin to the Xuan Clan just to get rid of that hot potato, didn’t you?"

Ye Guan nodded. He wasn't particularly interested in the things from the Arcanist Civilization.

If I truly wanted an inheritance, wouldn't it be better to ask my father, grandfather, or aunt?

Of course, if the other party had no ill intentions, he would have accepted it. But clearly, the Arcanist Civilization had ulterior motives. So, he decided to give the troublesome item to the Xuan Clan instead.

Little Pagoda said, "The Qingxuan Sword..."

Ye Guan laughed, "No need to worry about that. Let them keep it for now."

Little Pagoda replied, "I’m not worried. I’m more concerned about that girl Yi Nian..."

Ye Guan quickly asked, "Why?"

Little Pagoda said gravely, "She has divided the space inside the pagoda into countless grids and is having a ton of fun with it..."

Ye Guan was dumbfounded.

Rumble!

The spacetime around Ye Guan suddenly trembled, and a beam of white light enveloped him. The scene immediately drew the attention of everyone nearby.

Someone exclaimed, "That's Ye Guan! And he has the inheritance of a Tier Four civilization!"

Ye Guan's expression darkened.

Damn it, who is targeting me?

"He's only accumulated thirty percent divinity!" someone shouted.

Upon hearing that, someone charged at Ye Guan. The inheritance of a Tier Four civilization was in the hands of a weakling... who wouldn't be tempted to snatch it away?

Ye Guan raised his hand and swung his sword.

Slash!

A man's head took to the sky, and his blood dyed the ground around him in a crimson hue.

The people present were stunned.

Ignoring the crowd, Ye Guan looked up at the starry sky. A few auras had already locked onto him.

Ye Guan's figure trembled and he appeared in a starry space.

As soon as he arrived in this starry space, the spacetime around him began to tremble slightly. Then, three people appeared around him.

An old man in a yellow robe with his hands behind his back.

A burly middle-aged man with bulging muscles and prominent veins stood on the yellow-robed old man's right side. The burly man's arms appeared to be as thick as pillars and seemed to be capable of shattering the ground and tearing apart the sky.

Meanwhile, a beautiful woman in a red dress was standing on the left side of the yellow-robed old man. There was a faint smile tugging at her lips.

All three were full divinity experts.

The beautiful woman stared at Ye Guan and then chuckled. "I can't believe you're really just a thirty percent divinity cultivator... Tsk, tsk."

Ye Guan looked at the beautiful woman, raising an eyebrow, "One-on-one?"

"You wish," said the beautiful woman with a smirk.

Swoosh!

The yellow-robed old man, the burly man, and the beautiful woman disappeared at the same time.

Ye Guan's eyes narrowed as he took a step forward, instantly enveloping the entire area with his sword domain. A kaleidoscope of sword lights erupted at once.

Boom!

The sword lights crisscrossed within the domain, tearing through spacetime itself. However, three terrifying waves of energy erupted from within the domain, shattering Ye Guan's sword domain in an instant and blasting him away.

Ye Guan was forced back nearly ten thousand meters before he could stabilize himself. As soon as he came to a halt, however, a fist shattered the void and made a beeline for him; the fist carried with it a pressure that made it hard for him to breathe.

Ye Guan thrust his sword forward with all his might.

Spacetime Sword—his most powerful attack!

Bang!

As soon as the fist and sword collided, both were sent flying backward. When the burly man stopped, the space behind him shattered and disintegrated.

The burly man looked at his fist. It was cracked, with blood oozing out, exposing the white bone beneath.

The burly man frowned. The power of this young swordsman was beyond his expectations.

In the distance, after clashing with the burly man, Ye Guan's right arm was also cracked, soaked in blood.

A white light appeared before him; it was the yellow-robed elder. As soon as the elder appeared, the space around him collapsed and disintegrated. Simultaneously, a terrifying energy swept toward Ye Guan from behind.

Ye Guan did not dare to be careless. He immediately activated his Mad Demon Bloodline.

Boom!

A crimson light surged out of Ye Guan.

Ye Guan slashed his sword, unleashing a burst of blood-red sword light. In an instant, the yellow-robed elder and the beautiful woman were pushed back.

The burly man swung his fist toward Ye Guan. As the punch came, the surrounding space exploded.

Ye Guan thrust his blood-stained sword forward.

Bang!

The two were blasted away at the same time, and they also stopped at the same time.

The burly man cast a solemn gaze at Ye Guan in the distance. "Bloodline power!"

The yellow-robed old man and the beautiful woman were shocked as well.

At first, they thought that the three of them together could easily kill Ye Guan, but it turned out that they had grossly underestimated his strength.

The beautiful woman said gravely, "Old Wen, this young man is not simple."

The yellow-robed old man stared at Ye Guan, his face dark and contemplative.

"The Guyan Civilization deliberately exposed his whereabouts, and it's probably because they're unsure of his background and wanted others to test him," said the beautiful woman. She then glanced at the yellow-robed elder and said, "He's definitely an extraordinary young man. The karmic burden might be too much for us to bear even if we somehow managed to kill him."

The higher one's cultivation, the more they feared entanglement in karmic consequences.

The burly man nodded slightly. "This young man's bloodline is special. His ancestors must have been remarkable individuals. If we kill him...it might bring endless troubles."

The yellow-robed old man stared intently at Ye Guan in the distance. "The Guyan Civilization certainly has ulterior motives, but isn't this also an opportunity for us? You and I have been stuck at hundred percent divinity for thousands of years. Without other opportunities, we might never advance any further, much less open a unique path."

The burly man and the beautiful woman remained silent.

Indeed, they decided to come here, as they knew that they had no future anymore. They were here to take a risk—to take a gamble.

However, the young swordsman had turned out to be such a talented monster.

"We're way past the point of no return..." muttered the yellow-robed old man. He stared at Ye Guan and added, "Let's do this one last job and retreat."

One last job!

The beautiful woman and the burly man exchanged glances and nodded.

The inheritance of a Tier Four civilization was worth the risk.

With that thought in mind, the beautiful woman exclaimed, "Kill him!"

Swoosh!

The three of them disappeared from where they were standing, and they no longer held back.

When they unleashed their full strength, the starry sky began to shatter and disintegrate.

Meanwhile, Ye Guan, who had already awakened his Mad Demon Bloodline, did not hesitate when he saw the three flying toward him.

He immediately activated the Mortal Bloodline within him!

Two bloodlines were activated at the same time!

Ye Guan looked up and closed his eyes. A myriad of sword intent rushed out of him.

He decides to use Phantom Edge.

The faces of the yellow-robed old man and the other two attackers changed drastically at the sight. Ye Guan's sword intent had become even more powerful than before.

Boom!

A cacophonous din filled with explosions pervaded the starry sky.

As the four engaged in a fierce battle, more and more supreme elites gathered around them in the shadows.

The news of Ye Guan possessing the inheritance of a Tier Four civilization had already spread throughout the vast expanse, and it was all thanks to the Guyan Civilization.

Moreover, Ye Guan was just a Divine Dao Realm expert with thirty percent accumulated divinity!

Boom!

The yellow-robed elder and the other two were simultaneously pushed back by Ye Guan.

The beautiful woman stared deeply at Ye Guan, whose aura was growing stronger and stronger.

"This young man..." the beautiful woman muttered in a grave voice.

The yellow-robed old man snarled, "Let's just finish this final job and retreat!"

With that, he charged at Ye Guan once again.
