Chapter 129: Master Pagoda, What Is Your Origin?

A thought popped up in his mind, and Ye Guan hesitated for a while before asking, “Master Pagoda, didn’t you say that the Sword Master had to give you face as well?”

Little Pagoda answered, “I was bragging.”

Ye Guan fell silent. Master Pagoda was becoming more and more cautious.

He had to find another way to bait answers out of Master Pagoda.

The lurkers in the shadows were no longer courageous enough to fight Ye Guan, so the latter finally had peace. They were roughly seven days away from reaching Qingzhou, and the danger level increased the closer they got to Qingzhou.

There were more and more lurkers in the shadows as well.

Ye Guan wasn’t worried about his peers. However, the older generation was cause for concern. He wasn’t scared of his peers unless he was outnumbered.

Ji Xuan frowned. She had the same concern as Ye Guan.

There were three strands of Great Dao Destiny as a reward alongside other rewards, and virtually no age limit, which meant even old monsters could attack Ye Guan to claim three strands of Great Dao Destiny for themselves.

Ye Guan’s monstrous peers weren’t really a threat to Ye Guan anymore, so there was a high chance that old fogeys and old monsters would soon make a move against him.

Two days flashed by in the blink of an eye, and they were now five days away from Qingzhou. No one had made a move over the past two days, which greatly unsettled Ye Guan and Ji Xuan. They could feel it—it was the calm?before the storm.

An old cultivator abruptly appeared a few hundred meters?away from the space ship.

The old cultivator raised his right hand and slowly brought it down.

A wave of powerful energy flew toward the space ship.

Ye Guan’s eyes narrowed, and he shouted, “Dismiss the space ship!”

Ye Guan jumped out of the space ship and swung his sword at the oncoming attack.

Swoosh!

Space was torn apart, but the wave of energy managed to suppress Ye Guan’s sword.

The old cultivator silently stared at Ye Guan.

Ye Guan wordlessly stared at the old cultivator as well. The old cultivator was a Divine Tribulation Realm cultivator.

At last, an older generation cultivator had appeared.

The old cultivator opened his palm, and lightning converged above his palm.

Rumble!

The space around the old cultivator distorted, and the old cultivator shouted, “Go!”

The lightning in his palm transformed into a few hundred-meter-long lightning dragon that made a beeline for Ye Guan. It carried a terrifying amount of energy, and it destroyed everything in its path, including space, creating a horrifying sight.

Ye Guan’s pupils constricted, but he charged at the lightning dragon.

Whoosh!

A flash of sword light briefly pervaded the surroundings—Instant Death Strike!

Everything seemed to have slowed down as Ye Guan performed the sword move.

Slice!

Ye Guan sliced the lightning dragon into two before rushing at the old cultivator.

The old cultivator’s eyes narrowed. He flicked his sleeve, and a wave of lightning erupted from him.

Crackle!

Ye Guan was forced to retreat, but a sword had crept up behind the old cultivator.

However, the old cultivator remained composed. He lightly tapped the floor with his right foot, and he transformed into a bolt of lightning that flew toward Ye Guan.

Wooosh!

Ye Guan’s sword sliced nothing but air.

Ye Guan stopped and braced himself. His eyes narrowed slightly upon seeing the lightning bolt heading toward him. When the old cultivator was just a few meters?away from him, Ye Guan glared at the old cultivator with a determined look.

Slice!

Ye Guan unleashed a single sword strike. The sword strike looked ordinary, but Ye Guan had unleashed it with the full extent of his cultivation base. In other words, this sword move would decide life and death between him and his target.

Crackle!

The lightning dragon exploded, and the old cultivator was blown away. He had just recovered, but a sword was already flying toward him.

The old cultivator’s eyes narrowed.

He was about to dodge, but Ye Guan appeared like a ghost behind him. The old cultivator’s heart jumped, and he instinctively whipped around.

However, a chill went down his spine upon realizing?that a sword was still flying toward him from behind.

Boom!

An unidentified black light collided with Ye Guan’s sword.

The old cultivator saw the opportunity, and he immediately took it. His figure blurred, and he reappeared a few hundred meters?away.

He stared fearfully at Ye Guan from afar.

Ye Guan turned and saw a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man was a Divine Tribulation Realm cultivator as well, and he was the reason the old cultivator was still alive.

The middle-aged man stared deeply at Ye Guan before turning to look at the old cultivator and laughing. “Hahaha, Old Zhang! I told you he’s not simple. Do you still want to fight him by yourself?”

Old Zhang stared at Ye Guan and muttered, “I underestimated him.”

The middle-aged man chuckled and said, “He’s definitely the greatest talent of the Zhongtu Divine Continent. I’m afraid that even a Seal Shattering Realm cultivator would find it hard to kill him by themselves, not to mention a lone Divine Tribulation Realm cultivator.

“In other words, we should confront him as a team.”

There were sixteen people gathered around the middle-aged man, and every single one of them was a Divine Tribulation Realm cultivator. They were all members of the older generation, but they had actually decided to team up against Ye Guan.

Ye Guan’s expression fell.

The middle-aged man chuckled and explained, “Young Lord Ye, we are the Dragon Tribe Mercenary from the Guanxuan Universe. We don’t have any grudges against you. We’re only doing this for the money.”

The middle-aged man paused before continuing. “If you have a backer, tell me. We have been in Guanxuan Universe for many years, and we do know a few prominent people here and there.

”If your backing has any connections to us, or if they’re someone we cannot afford to offend, we’ll definitely not fight you. In fact, we’ll apologize?to you for the interruption.”

Ye Guan stared at the middle-aged man for quite a while before answering, “My backer is Master Pagoda.”

Ye Guan was left with no choice but to mention Master Pagoda.

Master Pagoda?

The middle-aged man frowned. He exchanged looks with the people behind him. Eventually, he turned to Ye Guan and shook his head before saying. “Young Lord Ye, we’ve never heard of your Master Pagoda. What is his origin?”

Ye Guan inwardly asked, “Master Pagoda, what is your origin?”

Little Pagoda remained silent. What is my origin? Goddamned it, I’m from your family!

Little Pagoda didn’t know what to say.

Ye Guan urged, “Master Pagoda, hurry up and tell me! Otherwise, they’ll gang up on me!”

Little Pagoda calmly replied, “Don’t worry, they’re just a few Divine Tribulation Realm cultivators. You can handle them!”

Ye Guan’s expression turned ashen.

He was strong, but he had to admit that it would be extremely difficult for him to stand toe-to-toe against so many Divine Tribulation Realm cultivators at once.

Of course, it would be a different story if he were a Divine Tribulation Realm cultivator himself, but Ye Guan was just a Space Annihilation Realm cultivator. It was too much for him to fight so many Divine Tribulation Realm cultivators by himself!

He needed a strategy to survive. He couldn’t afford to fight them head-on.

The middle-aged man said, “Young Lord Ye, you still haven’t answered me.”

The middle-aged man didn’t dare to attack rashly because there was a high chance that Ye Guan had a powerful backer. He didn’t believe that Ye Guan’s backer?could defeat the Main Guanxuan Academy, but they could be stronger than their mercenary group.

Therefore, he had to be cautious.

Ye Guan stared at the middle-aged man and asked, “Do you really want to know?”

The middle-aged man nodded. “Yes!”

“Are you sure?” Ye Guan calmly asked, “Have you not heard about how more than a thousand An Clan members perished that day?”

The middle-aged man grew silent.

“The powerhouses of the An Clan present at the Zhongtu Divine Continent’s Guanxuan Academy that day had perished. I even defeated the Chosen One. He summoned the Heavenly Dao of the Zhongtu Divine Continent, but I managed to kill it. In the end, the Chosen One survived by a hair’s breadth.”

Ye Guan grinned and added, “They say that the Chosen One is invincible among his peers, but… hehe.”

The middle-aged man stared thoughtfully at Ye Guan.

Ye Guan saw that and continued. “I became a Sword Sovereign at eighteen years of age, and I’m already a Quasi-Great Sword Sovereign. Can you really believe that my Master Pagoda is ordinary?”

Since Little Pagoda was staying silent, Ye Guan had to hype the former up.

The middle-aged man remained silent, but he still had some doubts.

Ye Guan noticed that and said, “I cannot reveal my Master Pagoda’s real identity, but if you think he’s weak, you can try.”

The middle-aged man was still silent.

“It’s true that the Guanxuan Academy has decided to persecute me, but you’re smart, and I believe you know the ins and outs of my circumstances. My plan is to plead my case to the Sword Master in Qingzhou.

“If the Sword Master acknowledges my talent and accepts me as his disciple…” Ye Guan trailed off. Some things didn’t require words to understand.

The middle-aged man’s face fell. Everyone knew that Ye Guan was headed to Qingzhou to plead with the Sword Master, but how come he was daring enough to attempt such a thing?

It was all because Ye Guan himself was aware that he had been wronged. Of course, everyone also knew that the An Clan, the aristocratic family faction, and the clan faction had been bullying him.

Would the Sword Master seek justice for Ye Guan?

There was room for doubt, but there was a high chance that the Sword Master would do that. Ye Guan was also a monstrous talent among monstrous talents, so the Sword Master would probably take him in as a disciple as well.

If they were to offend Ye Guan, and the latter survived to become the Sword Master’s disciple…

The middle-aged man didn’t even want to imagine it.

The expressions of his fellow mercenaries turned serious as well.

Ye Guan added, “I will be honest. My backer can’t take on the entire Guanxuan Academy, but my backer was able to kill the powerhouses of the An Clan. Do you really think that you’re stronger than the An Clan’s powerhouses?”

The middle-aged man looked down for quite a while before saying, “Young Lord Ye, it seems that I was foolish. I apologize?for the interruption.”

The middle-aged man cupped his hands and gestured. “Let’s go.”

No one opposed him.

The three strands of Great Dao Destiny were alluring rewards, but Ye Guan’s backer was incredibly powerful. In other words, the middle-aged man’s mercenary group had no business wading into this muddy waters.

This issue was best left to the Guanxuan Academy to handle.

Ye Guan suddenly called out, “Please wait.”

The middle-aged man turned toward Ye Guan.

Ye Guan asked, “Can I request protection from you?”

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, “Please don’t joke around, Young Lord Ye. Your enemies are the Guanxuan Academy, the aristocratic family faction, and the great clan faction.

“We’re just a mercenary group trying to make a living, Young Lord Ye. We don’t want to die by protecting you and offending those behemoths. All right, we’ll be off now, Young Lord Ye. Farewell.”

The middle-aged man didn’t even wait for Ye Guan’s reply.

He turned around and fled.
