Chapter 858: Call for Help

Everyone was stunned. Why was Ye Qingqing suddenly beating up Ye Guan?

Little Pagoda cautiously reminded, "He's still injured."

Hearing this, Ye Qingqing stopped. She opened her palm, and the tiny pagoda appeared in her hand. "Then, I'll beat you up instead."

Smack, smack, smaack!

Crisp punches echoed in the air.

Little Pagoda was speechless.

Ye Guan retreated to Yi Nian and Zhou Fan's side while trembling.

Aunt Ye Qingqing... she's really something else!

He couldn’t figure out why she suddenly got angry. The reason he woke up so quickly was all thanks to the Qingxuan Sword, which had been repairing his soul all this while.

As soon as he woke up, he heard that Ye Qingqing had arrived and was overjoyed. He rushed out to meet her, but he didn’t expect to get a beating as soon as he stepped out of the pagoda.

How unlucky.

Zhou Fan suddenly spoke, "Young Master Ye..."

Ye Guan turned to look at Zhou Fan.

Zhou Fan asked, "Are you feeling okay now?"

Ye Guan nodded and said, "Thanks for your help..."

He noticed the smile on Zhou Fan's face fading quickly, so he hastily said, "Between us, there is no need for thanks."

Then, he realized that his words seemed a bit off. However, Zhou Fan smiled sweetly upon hearing him.

Her appearance was already stunning, so with her heartfelt smile, she became truly captivating. Ye Guan couldn't help but fall into a daze upon seeing her smile.

Zhou Fan blushed, feeling both shy and happy.

"Young Master!"

Little Pagoda's screams pulled Ye Guan back to reality. He looked up and saw Ye Qingqing smacking the tiny pagoda around. For some reason, Ye Qingqing's beatings felt personal.

Did Master Pagoda somehow offend Aunt Qingqing?

Ye Guan hesitated before cautiously saying, "Aunt Qingqing..."

Ye Qingqing stopped and turned to look at Ye Guan, raising an eyebrow. "Do you want to spar?"

Ye Guan quickly waved his hand and refused. "No, no, no. I don't dare..."

Ye Qingqing snorted but stopped beating the tiny pagoda. However, she glared at the tiny pagoda and said, "This kid used to be well-behaved. Ever since he started following you, he’s been getting more and more girlfriends. It must be your influence. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have become so fickle. After all, he's my brother's son, and my brother is so devoted..."

Little Pagoda felt like he was struck by lightning, and his mind went blank.

What do you mean your nephew is well-behaved? Your brother is devoted? Are you joking?!

Little Pagoda was filled with grief and indignation. He truly felt like exploding and dying right there and then, but he didn't bother saying anything.

Reasoning with Black-Skirt Destiny would never end in a good way.

Self-destruction is better than talking to her.

After scolding Little Pagoda, Ye Qingqing looked at Ye Guan.

Ye Guan's eyelid twitched, feeling somewhat guilty.

Among his aunts, Ye Qingqing was the most unreasonable. She'd start a fight at the slightest provocation, so he was really afraid of her.

Ye Qingqing glared at Ye Guan, asking, "Am I very fierce?"

Ye Guan remained silent, thinking.

Don’t you know that yourself?

The Great Zhou experts looked at Ye Qingqing with peculiar expressions, finding her temper quite off.

"Where did you come from, swordsman?" Ji Xiaojian asked, staring at Ye Qingqing with interest.

A swordsman like Ye Qingqing was rare, even in the Ascension World.

Ye Qingqing turned to look at Ji Xiaojian, expressionless, "You're amazing; you even managed to injure me inside."

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Ye Guan was stupefied as well.

The interest in Ji Xiaojian's eyes dimmed. "Are you insulting me?"

"Yes," Ye Qingqing quickly replied. Then, realizing something was wrong, she added, "No, I'm not that kind of person."

Everyone was baffled.

Ji Xiaojian's killing intent surged. She lifted her sword and charged at Ye Qingqing like a bolt of lightning. She raised her sword with both hands and slashed down fiercely at Ye Qingqing.

The attack was fierce, and even those kilometers away could feel a suffocating, mountain-like pressure from it.

Ye Guan was stupefied. Ji Xiaojian was strong.

However, Ye Qingqing remained expressionless at the sight, and she simply lifted her sword horizontally to block the oncoming attack.

Bang!

The sword light shattered, and Ye Qingqing was instantly pushed back a thousand meters.

Everyone was stunned and puzzled by the sight. Earlier, the lady in a black skirt wouldn't bunch even an inch from Ji Xiaojian's attack, so how come she was suddenly blasted away?

Was she exhausted?

Ji Xiaojian frowned as well, sensing something amiss.

Ye Guan's expression became solemn. Ji Xiaojian was far stronger than he had imagined; he didn't expect that even his Aunt Ye Qingqing would struggle against her.

Swoosh!

Little Pagoda quietly returned to Ye Guan’s body.

“Master Pagoda?”

Ye Guan called out.

“I need some peace and quiet,” replied Little Pagoda.

Ye Guan was silent.

Ji Xiaojian stared at Ye Qingqing and frowned. “What’s wrong with you? Did you not eat today?”

Ye Qingqing calmly remarked, “You’re really strong.”

Everyone was speechless.

Ji Xiaojian's face darkened. “It seems that I need to get serious.”

With that, she took a step forward.

Boom!

Mysterious forces gathered from all around and melted into her. Then, a sword-shaped eye appeared on her forehead.

Ji Xiaojian's body became illusory, and waves of terrifying sword aura radiated outward.

Zhou Fan’s face changed drastically. She grabbed Ye Guan and Yi Nian before retreating far away.

The Great Zhou Emperor appeared just then. With a flick of his sleeve, a barrier was formed.

However, the barrier shattered upon contact with the sword aura. The face of the Great Zhou Emperor changed, and he opened his palm, revealing a dragon seal. He gripped it tightly and thrust it forward. “Suppress.”

Boom!

A golden light erupted, protecting everyone. However, they were still pushed back nearly ten thousand meters by the sword aura.

Everyone was shocked, and Ye Guan’s expression became more serious than ever.

This was the first time he had encountered such a powerful swordsman outside of his family members. Her sword aura alone was enough to make even those in the Path Creation Realm retreat.

Ye Guan’s eyes burned with intensity as he stared into the distance.

Master Yue and his group were also pushed back tens of thousands of meters by the sword aura, and they were shocked as well.

Master Yue clenched his hands tightly, staring at Ji Xiaojian.

Like the Great Zhou, they had also underestimated Supreme Daoist Ji Xiaojian.

Master Yue and his group felt complicated. They were all in the Path Creation Realm, so why was she so much stronger?

Evil Granny stared at the two swordsmen in the distance, and her heart was trembling in fear. It was the first time she had seen such terrifying power. She felt like she needed to keep a low profile from now on.

In the distance, Ji Xiaojian's eyes opened. A colossal sword light flew toward Ye Qingqing.

Mind Sword and sword intent had combined into one!

Ye Qingqing slashed vertically and then horizontally.

Swoosh!

Two beams of sword light formed a cross in front of her.

Boom!

When the two sword lights collided, they exploded like a bomb.

However, Ji Xiaojian inexplicably appeared above Ye Qingqing, and she slashed down with her sword.

Boom!

The attack set the entire endless starry sky ablaze, turning everything to ashes. Everything was annihilated, including the Laws of the Great Dao.

A hint of surprise appeared in Ye Qingqing's eyes. She moved her wrist and thrust her sword forward.

Boom!

As soon as the two swords clashed, the area around them was flooded with a myriad of sword lights. No one could see anything, as their divine sense would get torn apart upon approaching the area full of sword lights.

Ye Guan stared intently at the region of sword lights, worried. Ji Xiaojian was too strong.

The Great Zhou elites were extremely anxious as well.

If the swordsman behind Ye Guan were to lose, the fate of Great Zhou would be sealed. They had just recovered their fate, but who would stop their enemies from shattering it again?

This battle would decide the fate of the Great Zhou.

The calmest person present was Yi Nian. She had never considered the possibility of losing. Aside from the lady in the plain skirt and the swordsman with white robes, everyone was too weak in her eyes.

The people of the Tianxing Civilization rarely fought; they usually set things on fire...

You light one, I light one...

Boom!

The distant sword lights erupted with such power that the universe region quivered.

Thunderous explosions pierced everyone's ears as the sword lights in the distance scattered like fireworks before disappearing.

Ye Qingqing and Ji Xiaojian faced each other from a distance.

Who won?

Everyone was anxious.

Ye Guan was also nervous.

"Master Pagoda, is Aunt Ye Qingqing going to lose?"

Little Pagoda replied,

"I don't want to talk right now."

Ye Guan was speechless.

Rumble!

Just then, a terrifying aura swept over from the distant end of the starry sky.

Master Yue and his group were overjoyed to feel the aura.

Someone with an incredibly powerful aura had arrived, and they were definitely another Supreme Daoist like Ji Xiaojian.

The people of the Great Zhou became extremely pale at the sight.
