Chapter 63: Lunatic
There were two kinds of opportunities in the world.
The first one was an opportunity born from good luck. Unfortunately, it was exceedingly rare to encounter such an opportunity, so people would usually go for the second one, which was to create an opportunity for themselves!
If Ye Guan did not die today, he would grow extremely powerful in the future. This favor cannot be measured with three hundred thousand gold crystals. Mo Ya did not have any backing or support. So she could only count on herself to create the opportunity.
Mo Ya reckoned that Ye Guan would become extremely powerful in the future if he managed to survive his current ordeal. In other words, Mo Ya’s actions couldn’t really be quantified with three hundred thousand gold spiritual crystals.
Mo Ya had neither backing nor support, so she could only count on herself to create an opportunity that she could seize to change her life. If her actions paid off, she would obtain a backer.
In addition, she wouldn’t lose that much if her actions failed to bear any fruits.
…
A hundred horrifying auras locked in on Ye Guan the moment he stepped out of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion.
Ye Guan immediately activated the Instant Teleportation Scroll in his hand.
Boom!
A rift in space engulfed Ye Guan, whisking him away.
“You’re not getting away!”
A giant hand gripped the space where Ye Guan was standing earlier.
Unfortunately, Ye Guan had already disappeared.
Ao Tian appeared, looking extremely annoyed. He looked around and said, “He used an Instant Teleportation Scroll… split up and search for him!”
With that, he vanished.
The cultivators of the True Dragon Clan also disappeared to look for Ye Guan.
The hunt was on.
Ye Guan was running in the dense forest of a mountain. He didn’t use his sword to take flight because they could easily find him if he were to do that.
Ye Guan’s expression was solemn as he ran.
“Master Pagoda, how many of them were there?”
Little Pagoda responded, “About a hundred.”
A hundred! Ye Guan’s eyes narrowed. Damn it. Has the True Dragon Clan gone crazy? They came on so strongly.
Little Pagoda asked, “Are you heading back to the Daoist Sect?”
Ye Guan shook his head. “No. I’ll implicate them if I were to go back there.”
Little Pagoda unknowingly blurted out, “Ask for help?”
Little Pagoda immediately went silent after saying that. No. This isn’t the right way. It shouldn’t be like that.
Ye Guan frowned. “Ask for help? Who am I going to ask?”
“I mean, what are you going to do if you don’t ask your master for help?”
Ye Guan picked up the pace rather than answering.
Little Pagoda was confused.
“What do you think he’ll do?” asked the mysterious voice in the tiny pagoda.
Little Pagoda sounded solemn as he said, “I think he’s going to ask for help like what a certain someone did back then.”
The mysterious voice responded, “That’s an outdated method.”
Little Pagoda said, “We’ll see...”
Ye Guan was still running in the dense forest. Ye Guan was extremely fast, and he covered a hundred thousand kilometers in the blink of an eye.
However, he made a U-turn and headed to the Immortal Treasures Pavilion.
Mo Ya froze upon seeing Ye Guan.
“Lady Mo Yan, lend me the Immortal Treasures Pavilion’s teleportation array,” said Ye Guan.
Mo Ya looked at him and asked, “Where do you want to go?”
Ye Guan leaned over and whispered into her ear.
Mo Ya’s pupils shrunk. “You…”
“Hurry!” Ye Guan urged.
“Follow me,” said Mo Ya after a moment of silence.
She brought Ye Guan in front of a teleportation array.
“Are you sure?” she asked.
Ye Guan nodded and entered the teleportation array. He wrapped his fist with his palm and said, “Thank you so much, Lady Mo Ya.”
The teleportation array finally activated and whisked Ye Guan away.
“That lunatic…” Mo Ya muttered.
Ye Guan’s destination was none other than the True Dragon World! The strong cultivators of the True Dragon Clan were chasing after him, but rather than hiding, he decided to come to his enemies’ doorstep. What was he if not a lunatic?
…
Ye Guan soon arrived in the True Dragon World and saw less than a hundred dragons.
Dragons were famous for their low fertility rate. They only had about three hundred dragons even during their glory days, and they currently had only about two hundred dragons. They had sent about a hundred dragons to hunt Ye Guan, and those one hundred dragons were all mature dragons.
The True Dragon Clan didn’t really consider Ye Guan strong.
Monk Dao was the main reason they had decided to send so many dragons out. Their goals were to kill Ye Guan and destroy the Daoist Sect.
The True Dragon Clan was also planning on dealing with the Ye Clan in Nanzhou once Ye Guan was dead.
Ye Guan gripped the Path Sword and stealthily made his way into the depths of the True Dragon World. Master Pagoda was hiding his aura as well, so Ye Guan easily made it to his destination.
The True Dragon Clan didn’t build a city for themselves in their world. They lived in tall mountains in the wild.
Ye Guan looked around and decided to go toward the highest mountain peak.
Little Pagoda sounded serious as he muttered, “This brat really is gutsy.”
The mysterious voice boisterously laughed, “I truly didn’t expect him to head for his enemies’ doorstep. He really has guts! Hahaha!”
Little Pagoda said softly, “Let’s see what he’s trying to do here.”
Ye Guan saw a giant cave at the summit of the highest mountain peak.
It’s a dragon cave! Ye Guan entered the cave and reached its deepest recess. His pupils upon seeing over sixty dragon eggs.
Ye Guan’s eyes narrowed, and he looked around warily. He didn’t sense the presence of anyone else, so he flicked his sleeve and collected the dragon eggs.
Roaaar!
A furious roar immediately echoed from outside the cave.
Ye Guan’s pupils constricted. They already knew that he was here, so he decided to stop hiding.
Ye Guan hopped onto his sword and soared into the sky.
Boom!
Ye Guan didn’t head for the cave entrance. He pierced the ceiling of the cave and burst out into the open. A dragon was flying toward him, and the incredible power it carried shattered spacetime itself.
Ye Guan gripped his Path Sword and abruptly vanished.
Swish!
A beam of sword flight flew toward the dragon.
Instant Death Strike!
Slash!
The dragon was decapitated by the sword light, but the sword light seemed like it wasn’t done just yet as it turned and tore the dragon’s enormous body apart.
Ye Guan finally appeared behind the dragon.
He flipped his palm open, and the Path Sword returned to his hand. Ye Guan was delighted to see a dragon plummet in front of him.
“This is such a powerful sword, Master Pagoda!” he shouted.
Ye Guan was sure that he wouldn’t have been able to shatter a dragon’s defenses without the Path Sword.
Swoosh!
Another dragon flew toward Ye Guan, but the dragon wasn’t alone. There were dozens of dragons behind it.
Ye Guan’s expression turned cold. He abruptly vanished, seemingly becoming a streak of light as he flew toward the dragons.
Instant Death Strike!
Slice!
A dazzling sword light danced in the middle of the dragons, and the dragons fell one by one. After killing one, Ye Guan would dash toward another dragon and cut its head off.
He didn’t run away. He chose to believe in his prowess and speed.
Ye Guan had just killed a dragon, but he was already flying toward another one. The Path Sword returned to his hand, and he thrust the Path Sword into a dragon.
The Path Sword buried itself in the neck of a dragon, and a sharp sword light manifested as Ye Guan slashed and chopped off the dragon’s head.
Blood spurted like a fountain from the dragon’s headless stump, but Ye Guan didn’t get drenched in its blood because he was already flying toward another dragon.
The miserable cries of dragons pervaded the air as they plummeted one by one.
A massacre—it was a complete massacre.
These dragons had always been proud of their defenses, but Ye Guan’s extreme speed and the Path Sword he was wielding rendered their defenses useless. Of course, one of the reasons for their defeat was that the remaining dragons weren’t really that strong.
It didn’t take Ye Guan that long to kill over thirty dragons.
The remaining dragons were terrified. They stopped rushing to their deaths and turned around to flee.
Ye Guan remained calm. He didn’t chase them. Instead, he collected the dragon carcasses into his storage ring before disappearing into the horizon on his Path Sword.
The remaining dragons couldn’t do anything but stare at each other in dismay.
…
Meanwhile, Ao Tian abruptly came to a halt. The space in front of him trembled slightly.
Ao Tian’s eyes soon widened, and he bellowed, “Ye Guan!”
Boom!
Ao Tian’s terrifying dragon aura pervaded the skies and distorted even space itself. It was a horrifying sight, but the other dragons were confused.
“We’re going back home!” Ao Tian shouted before turning into a beam of golden light that shot toward the horizon.
The dragons were appalled upon returning to the True Dragon World.
The entire True Dragon Clan bubbled in fury. Ye Guan had killed over thirty dragons, and he also stole the dragon eggs of their clan. There couldn’t be anything more humiliating than this!
Ao Tian’s eyes were bloodshot, and the murderous aura about him was palpable.
The dragons were enraged. They had not only suffered a lot of damage, but their reputation would also plummet once the word got out.
Ao Tian’s expression was indifferent as he said, “Look for him. Get the Immortal Treasures Pavilion’s help—no, I will go there myself!”
He then abruptly disappeared, leaving the enraged dragons behind.
…
It didn’t take long for what Ye Guan had done to the True Dragon Clan to spread like wildfire throughout the Zhongtu Divine Continent.
Everyone practically knew his name at this point. It wasn’t strange because he had conducted a massacre in the True Dragon World, even though he was just a Space Shattering Realm cultivator.
There wasn’t a shortage of skeptics.
Are True Dragons really that easy to kill, or were those dragons fake?
…
An old man with a head full of white hair was lying on a chair in the Zhongtu Divine Continent’s Guanxuan Academy.
He was the Academy Chief of the Zhongtu Divine Continent’s Guanxuan Academy—Lu Chaowen. Lu Chaowen was also one of the Twelve Supreme Cultivators of the Zhongtu Divine Continent.
An old man in black appeared next to Lu Chaowen. The old man in black made Lu Chaowen stop reading the floating scroll in front of him.
Lu Chaowen put away the floating scroll.
He was silent for quite a while before he muttered, “A Space Shattering Realm cultivator?”
The old man in black nodded. “That’s right.”
Lu Chaowen asked, “Did anyone help him? Did Monk Dao help him?”
The old man in black shook his head.
Lu Chaowen went silent.
“It seems our academy failed to secure an incredible talent,” he muttered.
The old man in black didn’t dare to speak upon sensing the fluctuations in Lu Chaowen’s emotions.
Lu Chaowen closed his eyes and asked, “Did Yuan Gu not try to pull him into our academy?”
The old man in black hurriedly responded, “He must have been worried about the True Dragon Clan.”
“What a fool!” Lu Chaowen was expressionless as he said blandly, “So what if he killed two dragons? His talent makes him worthy of safekeeping!”
The old man in black hesitated before saying, “He has also offended the An Clan...”
The An Clan. Lu Chaowen went quiet. Eventually, he shook his head and sighed.
The An Clan was involved, so it couldn’t be helped.
He thought of personally asking Ye Guan to join them, but he could only let Ye Guan go upon hearing of the An Clan’s involvement.
It would be a dumb move to offend the An Clan for a talent. It was tantamount to trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice to lure it away.
Lu Chaowen had the duty of securing talents for the Guanxuan Academy, but even he fell into a conundrum at the thought of protecting Ye Guan at the expense of offending the An Clan.
