Chapter 210: Qin Guan Meets Ye Guan
Ye Guan was awestruck upon arriving at Little Guan City.
Little Guan City’s city walls were at least ten kilometers tall. The walls were so tall that it seemed as if they could reach the starry skies up above. It was impossible to see the end of it, even if one were to crane one’s neck to one’s limits.
The city walls were made from what looked like a golden stone. Every pebble had countless runes densely packed together, and every single rune gave off a mysterious, abstruse power.
The city walls had towering towers three hundred meters away from each other. The towers were extremely tall, at least a few kilometers high. One could see streaks of lightning fleeting about the tower, and every streak of lightning looked terrifying.
There were armored Sky Giants standing next to each tower.
The Sky Giants were a few kilometers tall, and their armor was a dull gold color.
Each giant wielded a colossal sword, and the sight of them alone was enough to instill fear into the hearts of just about anyone. Considering the number of towers on the city walls, there had to be more than ten thousand Sky Giants protecting the city!
Additionally, there was a thin light veil draped over the city like an umbrella. The veil would occasionally flash in a golden light as a sign that it was still active and was protecting the city.
Ye Guan was truly amazed.
Some of the cultivators with Ye Guan who had never been here were in a daze, extremely shocked by the magnificent scenery before them.
Soon, the group arrived in front of a kilometer-high gate.
A group of white-robed old men holding a black jade staff walked out of the gate as it opened.
Wu Lao hurriedly introduced them to Ye Guan, “Young Master, they’re from the Spirit Hall. They’re Divine Mages who belong to the Immortal Treasures Pavilion, and the weakest of them are Imperial Realm Divine Mages.
”I ordered them to stay here and protect the Eternal World, so they couldn’t go to the Guanxuan Academy to fetch you. I needed them to stay here to suppress any potential spies from acting up within the Immortal Treasures Pavilion.”
Ye Guan nodded slightly.
The thirty white-robed old men walked up to Ye Guan. They knelt at the same time and greeted him respectfully, “Greetings, Young Pavilion Master!”
Ye Guan nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
“At ease,” he said.
The white-robed old men got up and stared curiously at Ye Guan.
Young Pavilion Master! He’s the son of our Pavilion Master!
The white-robed old men examined Ye Guan with smiles. Qin Guan had personally nurtured them, so they were absolutely loyal to her. Naturally, they had nothing but respect for her son.
Qin Guan’s son was the only worthy inheritor of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion!
Rumble!
All of a sudden, the ground quivered violently.
A huge group of elite cultivators clad in black armor walked out from the gates. There were about a hundred thousand of them. They carried a shield in their left hand and a spear in their right hand. They all exuded an extremely powerful aura.
A middle-aged man stood at the helm of them. He was a handsome middle-aged man with a commanding gaze. A young man stood next to him, and he was staring curiously at Ye Guan.
“Young Master, he’s the Marshal of the Dao Soldiers. Zhen Guan!” said Wu Lao.
Zhen Guan led his soldiers toward Ye Guan before bowing slightly.
“Greetings, Young Master!” exclaimed Zhen Guan.
The hundred thousand soldiers behind him greeted Ye Guan as well, but they didn’t kneel.
Wu Lao and the others frowned. They were supposed to kneel to Ye Guan when greeting him.
Li Banzhi frowned as well. How disrespectful.
However, Ye Guan didn’t nitpick but smiled and said, “At ease.”
Zhen Guan straightened himself up.
However, the soldiers behind him still had their backs hunched in a slight bow.
Ye Guan gazed at them briefly before saying, “All of you can be at ease.”
The soldiers didn’t respond to Ye Guan. They looked at Zhen Guan instead.
Zhen Guan remained expressionless as he ordered, “At ease!”
With that, the soldiers finally stood up straight.
Li Banzhi’s gaze turned cold, and the expressions of the cultivators who had come here with Ye Guan from the Guanxuan Academy turned cold as well. Wu Lao and the Divine Mages standing next to Ye Guan grimaced.
What is this? Are you trying to show off your power in front of the Young Master?
However, Ye Guan remained calm despite the blatant display of authority. He looked at Zhen Guan and found that the latter was as calm as him.
He turned slowly to Wu Lao and said, “Kill them all.”
Wu Lao and everyone else were taken aback.
Meanwhile, Zhen Guan quietly stared at Ye Guan.
The Dao Soldiers behind Zhen Guan were furious, and they all glared at Ye Guan.
Ye Guan smiled at Wu Lao and asked, “We can’t kill them?”
Wu Lao stuttered, “Y-Y-Young Master, that’s…”
Ye Guan turned to look at Li Banzhi.
“Aunt Zhi, let’s go to the Xuzhen Battlefield,” he said.
Li Banzhi nodded. “Okay.”
An You immediately waved his sleeve, and a spacetime tunnel opened next to them.
Ye Guan didn’t even hesitate as he walked into it.
Wu Lao’s expression’s expression changed drastically. His voice was trembling as he hurriedly called out to Ye Guan, “Y-Y-Young Master…!”
Ye Guan quietly glanced at Wu Lao.
He didn’t say anything as he continued walking down the spacetime tunnel.
The young man next to Zhen Guan chuckled and said, “The Young Master is truly impressive! He still hasn’t ascended the throne, but he already wants to kill all hundred thousand of us to flaunt his power. Incredible!”
The cultivators on Ye Guan’s side were blinded with rage upon hearing the young man’s words.
Chen Guanzi looked at that young man and said, “Since you love talking shit, eat this shit!”
Schwing!
A ray of sword light tore through space and made a beeline for the young man.
The young man’s eyes narrowed. He was about to make a move when Zhen Guan stepped out and waved his sleeve.
Boom!
The ray of sword light was suppressed. Ye Guan’s supporters cast their divine sense upon Zhen Guan and the hundred thousand Dao Soldiers behind him in an effort to suppress them.
However, the Dao Soldiers took one step forward at the same time, and a powerful, oppressive aura descended upon Ye Guan’s supporters.
The faces of Wu Lao and the Divine Mages turned ugly.
“First Senior Brother,” Ye Guan said, “Let’s go.”
Let’s go? Chen Guanzi was silent, but he was fuming inside.
The Immortal Treasures Pavilion belonged to Qin Guan!
How dare these people disrespect her son just because she wasn’t here to supervise the Immortal Treasures Pavilion?!
Chen Guanzi shook his head and said, “Junior Disciple Ye, I can’t tolerate this. No, the Sword Sect can’t tolerate it.”
With that, Chen Guanzi took a step forward and transformed into a ray of sword light that rushed toward Zhen Guan.
Zhen Guan’s eyes narrowed. He took a step forward and flicked his wrist, sending a spear flying toward the oncoming sword light at breakneck speeds.
Boom!
A deafening explosion echoed as the ray of sword light collided with the spear light.
Zhen Guan and Chen Guanzi were both blasted backward by the incredible force.
The spacetime around them had shattered as well!
The disciples of the Sword Sect were about to rush over to assist Chen Guanzi when Li Banzhi shouted, “Stop!”
Li Banzhi shook her head and said, “Listen to the Young Master’s orders.”
Chen Guanzi went silent, but the sword in his hand quivered violently. He was obviously trying to suppress his fury. The swordsmen behind him were equally livid.
The Dao Soldiers’ disrespect was too much for them to bear!
Ye Guan suddenly took out Qin Guan’s small cloth sachet.
He looked at it briefly before tossing it to the ground, astonishing everyone.
Ye Guan turned to look at Wu Lao and said, “Pick it up and return it to my mother. I want you to tell her that I’ve gotten used to the hardship after many years of experiencing it.
”The Immortal Treasures Pavilion is rich and with boundless resources, but I really don’t care about it. Rest assured, I won’t snatch anything from you all. Everything you own will still belong to you, everything!”
With that, he turned around and continued walking down the spacetime tunnel.
Li Banzhi glanced at Wu Lao and the rest before following Ye Guan into the spacetime tunnel. Soon, Ye Guan’s supporters walked into the spacetime tunnel as well.
They had collectively decided to give up on the Immortal Treasures Pavilion.
Wu Lao’s face was as pale as a sheet of paper as he stared at the cloth sachet on the ground. Zhen Guan’s expression was a bit gloomy as well, but the young man next to him chuckled mockingly and remarked, “Go ahead and leave. The Immortal Treasures Pavilion has been without a Pavilion Master for over thirty million years now, and we’ve been doing fine despite that.”
Rumble!
A rift in space abruptly split open next to the spacetime tunnel.
A young woman dressed in green slowly walked out of the rift. A hundred elite cultivators stood behind her.
The young woman was none other than Vice Pavilion Master Ying Qing.
Ying Qing immediately walked up to Ye Guan and slowly got down on one knee.
“Greetings—”
However, Ye Guan didn’t even stop to acknowledge her. He continued walking down the spacetime tunnel.
Ying Qing’s face paled.
The spacetime tunnel quivered slightly as Ye Guan was about to reach the end of it where their destination lay.
Buzz!
The cloth sachet on the ground suddenly vibrated gently, and a stream of white light flowed out of it.
The white light soon condensed into the figure of a woman. The woman was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, a skirt, and a pair of plain-looking shoes. She was dressed humbly, but Ying Qing and the members of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion immediately fell to the ground and kowtowed to her upon seeing her.
“Greetings, Pavilion Master!” they greeted at once.
The Dao Soldiers standing behind Zhen Guan hurriedly kowtowed as well, and they quivered as if they were aspen trees.
Ye Guan’s supporters were also stupefied to see Pavilion Master Qin.
They hesitated and stopped in their tracks.
Moments later, they collectively shouted, “Greetings, Pavilion Master Qin!”
They weren’t happy with the Immortal Treasures Pavilion, but it didn’t mean that Qin Guan no longer deserved their respect.
Qin Guan turned to Ye Guan. Ye Guan had stopped dead in his tracks, but he didn’t turn around to face Qin Guan.
Qin Guan asked softly, “Are you not going to turn around and look at me?”
After a few moments of silence, Ye Guan replied, “I grew up poor, and I have always been short of money, but I still don’t think there’s a need for me to inherit the Immortal Treasures Pavilion or the Guanxuan Academy. I never really cared about either of them. Actually, I prefer to have my parents by my side.”
With that, Ye Guan picked up the pace and soon disappeared.
Li Banzhi glanced at Qin Guan before bringing the others away.
Soon, the spacetime tunnel vanished.
Qin Guan lowered her head; her expression was inscrutable.
The people of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion quivered incessantly.
Ying Qing was now beyond pallid.
Qin Guan eventually raised her head. Her voice sounded soft, but she was clearly furious as she said, “I did not nurture you all for you to disrespect my son. Guards!”
Rumble!
The earth split open, and ten elite guards wielding scythes descended from the sky. At the same time, the Sky Giants opened their eyes and jumped down from the walls.
Everyone’s faces changed drastically at the terrifying sight.
Qin Guan glanced at Ying Qing and said fiercely, “Go back to where you came from.”
Ying Qing\'s legs gave out, and she collapsed to the ground.
Qin Guan ordered, “The Martial Court is dissolved effective today, and the members of the Martial Court will not be absorbed by the Immortal Treasures Pavilion.”
Wu Lao went beyond pallid. He wanted to say something, but a black-robed man appeared in front of him and dragged him away. The Martial Court members were quickly dragged away by mysterious people clad in black robes.
Ying Qing looked at Qin Guan. She wanted to say something, but a scythe was pressed against her neck. She was dragged away without being able to explain herself.
Zhen Guan and the Dao Soldiers behind him looked as pale as corpses. They quivered violently while prostrating on the ground.
Zhen Guan wanted to explain himself, but Qin Guan suddenly said, “Execute these Dao Soldiers.”
Dazzling lights flashed as ten scythes danced about, sending thousands of heads flying with every flash. In just a few seconds, a hundred thousand heads had formed a hill on the ground, and the blood from the corpses could fill up an entire lake.
