Chapter 935: Aunt on a Rampage

"

Haah... Uugh.. Aaah...

"

There were two people fighting fiercely In a world isolated by a sword domain.

The man's veins were bulging, but they weren't the veins in his arms.

The woman was on her knees, but she wasn't begging for mercy...

The battle went on for a long time, and it only stopped when the two were utterly exhausted.

A few days later, Ye Guan left the Great Zhou.

On the Great Zhou city walls, Zhou Fan, dressed in a light yellow phoenix gown, watched the sword light gradually disappear into the horizon, remaining silent for a long time.

Ye Guan returned to the Ascension World and headed straight for the Eighth Heaven.

However, he discovered that it was completely empty.

There was nothing in the Eighth Heaven at all.

Ye Guan was puzzled.

He went to the Ninth Heaven but found it empty, too.

Looking up at the stone gate in the sky, Ye Guan said, "Senior?"

After a moment, an aged voice echoed from within the stone gate. "What's the matter?"

"Why is there no one in the Eighth Heaven?" asked Ye Guan.

"They already left."

"What about the expert in the Ninth Heaven?"

"They left as well."

Ye Guan fell silent.

"Are you here to train?" asked the aged voice.

Ye Guan nodded. He wanted to become even stronger before heading to the Tianxing Civilization, as he did not want to get beaten up over there.

"The experts of the Eighth Heaven and the Ninth Heaven are far stronger than you. Seeking them out for training would be meaningless. If you truly want to improve your strength, you should visit Abyssal Hell."

Ye Guan was intrigued. "Senior, what's Abyssal Hell?"

"It once had a cyclical order. It is no longer what it used to be, but the battlefields there are still very suitable for training."

"Why did Abyssal Hell decline?"

"Someone wanted to establish a new Order, so the old Order started falling apart; a decline was inevitable," replied the aged voice.

Ye Guan's expression stiffened. "Senior, what does that have to do with me? I've only been alive for roughly twenty years."

"Perhaps it's because of a certain someone's father."

Ye Guan was baffled.

"The ancient old Order was already on its last legs, so it would still decline even without your family's involvement."

"Why?"

"Too many rebels from within, and external threats like the Tianxing Civilization. Both internal and external strife. Haaa..."

"Even you can't defeat the Tianxing Civilization, Senior?"

"That's right.

Ye Guan's face darkened.

What? Wouldn't I get beaten up to a pulp if I were to go to the Tianxing Civilization without any backup?

Ye Guan then asked, "Senior, can you give me some details about the major forces in the vast expanse?"

The aged voice was silent for a moment before responding, "There are four forces that you need to be wary of—the first represents the Old Order, which is me—I represent one of the forces. The second is Abyssal Hell; the Eighteen Levels of Hell there hass imprisoned some powerful beings from my era.

"Some of those experts are stronger than the Third Hall Master and Ye Xiuran."

After a pause, the aged voice added, "The third is the Heaven of Parting Sorrows, home to some ancient gods from my era. These old gods are very powerful, especially Lord Old God, who was once my master's disciple.

"He's the most talented and strongest of the old gods."

"Your master?" Ye Guan was surprised. "You have a master?"

The aged voice explained, "I was created by the Existing Dao, so it is not strange that I have a master."

Ye Guan's curiosity was piqued. "Senior, what was the previous Dao before your master created you?"

"The Old Dao," the aged voice replied, "Back then, the vast expanse was in chaos. The Old Dao was born, and my master defeated it. Then, he created a new Dao using the foundations of the Old Dao. The new Dao is me, the Existing Dao."

Ye Guan said solemnly, "Your master is truly powerful."

The Existing Dao replied, "Both the Heaven of Parting Sorrows and Abyssal Hell were originally established by my master. Later, my master discovered the Tianxing Civilization; he fought them, and he did not... lose."

"Nonsense!" Jing An exclaimed, suddenly appearing beside Ye Guan. Licking the candied hawthorn in her hand, she coldly spat, "You dare say that your master did not lose back then?"

"My master subdued the Old Dao, and your Chief Enforcement Officer died at the hands of the Old Dao," the Existing Dao retorted.

"And your master was smashed into pieces by our Chief Enforcement Officer," Jing An said, fighting back.

"What's the problem with a draw?"

"What's the problem? Your master ran away when our Tianxing Ruler came looking for your master!"

"My master didn't run!" the Existing Dao exclaimed, "He—"

Jing An calmly asked, "What happened to him?"

The Existing Dao went silent for a while before saying, "Why should I tell you?"

Jing An licked her candied hawthorn and smiled. "Existing Dao, our Tianxing Civilization is no longer what it used to be. Our Chief Enforcement Officer is much stronger than before. She can crush a hundred of you with a single slap!"

The Existing Dao coldly replied, "If she's so powerful, why don't you make her fight Ye Guan's aunt?"

Ye Guan had no idea what to say to that.

"We're not going to fight her," Jing An replied with a dark face. "I'll have her come and beat you up instead. Our Chief Enforcement Officer will come here and give you a good beating!"

The Existing Dao fell silent.

Damn it. Why do I keep running into these freaks?

"Bribe me, and I can pretend that I never saw you," Jing An suggested.

Ye Guan turned to look at Jing An, stunned.

Why is she acting like a bandit? Extortion in broad daylight? Really?

The Existing Dao suddenly said in a deep voice, "Young Master Ye, are you not going to do anything about this?"

Just as Ye Guan was about to speak, Jing An looked at him and said, "I'll split it with you."

Ye Guan hesitated before saying, "Lady Jing An and Senior Existing Dao, revenge will lead to more hatred. My Guanxuan Academy has always been striving to maintain peace and stability in the vast expanse. So why don't you just agree, Senior? She'll split it with me, and I'll split it with you."

The Existing Dao was speechless.

Little Pagoda had no idea what to say.

Jing An stared at Ye Guan with wide eyes; she was so shocked that she even forgot to lick her candied hawthorn.

The Existing Dao suddenly said, "You're even more ruthless than your father."

"You met my father, Senior?" Ye Guan asked.

The Existing Dao replied, "Yes, and your father even borrowed money from me, saying that his son would pay it back."

Ye Guan was speechless.

"If you don't believe me, I have proof," added the Existing Dao.

With that, an IOU appeared in front of Ye Guan, and it read,

"Today, I'm borrowing 100,000 Eternal Crystals from the Existing Dao. My son will repay it. Signed: Ye Xuan."

There was even a blood handprint on it, and the unique energy fluctuations from it made it clear that it was the blood of someone with the Mad Demon Bloodline running through their veins.

Ye Guan felt a shiver down his spine upon seeing the IOU.

A hundred thousand Eternal Crystals?! What the hell? My son will repay it?!

How could his father do such an outrageous thing?

Damn it.

Ye Guan could only lampoon.

The Existing Dao added, "I don't think you can repay me anytime soon. Haaa..."

Ye Guan was speechless.

Jing An walked up to Ye Guan and tugged at his sleeve.

"Are you sure you're your father's biological son?" Jing An asked.

After a moment of silence, Ye Guan replied, "I have my doubts, too. What kind of father treats his son like this?"

To be honest, he felt numb. This wasn't the first or second time—it had happened many times before. His father was always racking up debts, leaving him to pay them off. It was simply outrageous.

Ye Guan couldn't help but consider borrowing money and making his father pay for his debt.

Hearing Ye Guan's words, Jing An burst out into laughter. She looked up at the stone gate and said, "Existing Dao, don't change the subject. Are you going to bribe me or not?"

The Existing Dao replied in a deep voice, "The Tianxing Civilization has been destroying civilizations for years. Are you not afraid of retribution at all?"

Jing An smiled, "The supreme law of the vast expanse is survival of the fittest. When your master established this Order, did he not destroy countless civilizations as well? The establishment of any Order or even a mere empire is built on countless corpses. You're the Existing Dao—how can you not understand that?"

The Existing Dao fell silent.

Ye Guan suddenly smiled and said, "Lady Jing An, let's drop this. How about I roast a few more lambs for you?"

Jing An's eyes lit up. "Really?"

"Really." Ye Guan nodded.

"Deal!" Jing An smiled and returned to the Little Pagoda. Ever since entering the Little Pagoda and discovering its mysterious spacetime, she had been having fun studying it, as it greatly enhanced her strength.

Left all alone, Ye Guan looked up at the stone gate and asked, "Senior, what about the fourth force?"

The Existing Dao replied, "That's the Evil Dao Alliance, your enemy."

Ye Guan asked, "Can you tell me more about them?"

"I don't know much about them. I only know that their First Hall Master is an

outsider

," replied the Existing Dao.

Ye Guan frowned. "An

outsider

?"

"They are extremely mysterious and powerful," the Existing Dao added, "If you somehow encounter them, I suggest you call for help immediately."

Ye Guan was silent.

The Existing Dao said, "You're too weak, but your enemies are some of the strongest out there. If you encounter someone you can't defeat, don't fight them head-on. It'd be a shame if you die prematurely."

Ye Guan was touched. "Senior, you care so much about me..."

"I don't care about you at all," the Existing Dao replied, "I'm just worried that if you die, your aunt will go on a rampage and destroy the vast expanse. I'm not afraid of death, but I don't want to die in vain."

Ye Guan was dumbfounded.
