Chapter 654: Hes About As Strong As I Am
Chapter 654: He\'s About As Strong As I Am
Then, he glanced at Qi Mu, whose face immediately fell.
Qi Ling also glanced at Qi Mu. He wasn\'t going to execute Qi Mu, as nurturing a Divine Dao Realm cultivator was extremely difficult and consumed a ton of resources. In fact, even the Qi Clan only had a few Divine Dao Realm cultivators.
"Clan Leader Ling, shall we have a chat?" Old Gu asked.
Qi Ling set aside his thoughts and nodded.
***
After Ye Guan left the Dao Market and returned to the First God Universe, he found a secluded place before entering the world inside the tiny pagoda.
Ye Guan sat cross-legged, and his crimson figure was giving off a terrifying killing intent.
Shen Ye, Erya, and the rest walked over to him. Upon sensing Ye Guan\'s aura, Shen Ye\'s expression became serious as he remarked, "Such a terrifying killing intent. I\'ve never seen anything more terrifying than this..."
Erya licked her candied hawthorn and said, "I\'ve seen one!"
Shen Ye looked at her in surprise. "You\'ve seen a killing intent more terrifying than this?"
Erya and Little White nodded.
Shen Ye\'s curiosity was piqued. "Who has a killing intent more terrifying than this?"
"Brother Yang," Erya replied calmly. Then, she glanced at Ye Guan and shook her head. "Little Xuan and Little Grandson\'s killing intent isn\'t as terrifying as Brother Yang\'s killing intent..."
"Who is that Brother Yang?"
"His grandfather," Erya said, gesturing at Ye Guan.
Grandfather? Shen Ye hurriedly asked, "How strong is his grandfather?"
Shen Ye had to admit that he was becoming increasingly curious about Ye Guan\'s background as time ticked by.
Erya replied, "He\'s about as strong as I am!"
Little White whipped her head around to look at Erya and blinked at her. Erya\'s expression remained calm, and her heart rate remained steady as well.
Shen Ye was about to say something when Ye Guan opened his eyes slowly. The killing intent emanating from him wasn\'t weakening but had become even stronger.
Shen Ye\'s face darkened. "What\'s happening to him?"
Erya explained while licking her candied hawthorn, "His bloodline power has become stronger, and it has gotten strong enough that he\'s struggling to control it."
Erya was right.
Ye Guan was in a pickle right now. He was having trouble suppressing the Mad Demon Bloodline. He dared not activate his Mortal Bloodline, as doing so now would only make things worse.
In fact, he had to suppress the Mortal Bloodline as well. He couldn\'t agitate the Mad Demon Bloodline anymore, or he wouldn\'t be able to contain it.
Erya suddenly asked, "Do you need any help?"
"How can you help me?"
"By fighting you."
"Fighting... Won\'t that make the Mad Demon Bloodline stronger?"
"Let me correct myself. I can help you by turning you into my punching bag."
Ye Guan was speechless.
Erya asked again, "So? Do you want to be my punching bag?"
"Is that really going to help?"
"Won\'t you know after you\'ve tried?"
Ye Guan fell silent. However, the Mad Demon Bloodline was becoming increasingly restless, so he could only nod and say, "Bring it—"
Bam!
Ye Guan couldn\'t even finish his sentence as he was blasted away, transforming into a black dot that disappeared into the distant horizon.
Shen Ye was bewildered. Is this girl going to go all out?
Erya chased after Ye Guan.
Soon, Ye Guan was beaten to a pulp. Of course, Erya controlled her strength, or he wouldn\'t be able to withstand Erya\'s punches, even with Ao Qianqian\'s help.
Half an hour later, Erya finally stopped the beatdown.
Ye Guan sprawled out on the ground, devoid of any strength.
Erya walked up to him. The Mad Demon Bloodline was still active, but it seemed to have been humbled.
Erya nodded slightly and said, "Now you can suppress it."
Ye Guan laughed bitterly at her words, realizing that Erya was right. The Mad Demon Bloodline dared not have a temper against Erya. In fact, it wasn\'t just the Mad Demon Bloodline; even Master Pagoda would rather offend Ye Xuan or Sword Master Qingshan than offend Erya or Little White. Offend Erya or Little White, and they\'d remember it for life.
Ye Guan sat down and began to suppress the Mad Demon Bloodline. After about half an hour, the bloodline calmed down, and the crimson hue on Ye Guan disappeared. He took a deep breath, feeling somewhat excited. He did not expect that he would be able to strengthen his Mad Demon Bloodline. He had truly reaped a ton of profit!
Just then, Ye Guan recalled something and turned to Shen Ye. "Senior, does Old Zhao have forty percent divinity in the Divine Dao Realm?"
Shen Ye nodded. "Yes, and it\'s true power."
A complicated light shimmered in Shen Ye\'s eyes. Ye Guan was just a Heavenly Sovereign Realm cultivator, but he was already strong enough to defeat a Divine Dao Realm cultivator with forty percent divinity. His talent was truly monstrous, and Shen Ye reckoned that Ye Guan would have no match once he became a Divine Dao Realm cultivator.
Shen Ye shook his head with a smile. There were many people with talent that couldn\'t be explained, just like Young Lord Ye here.
If he hadn\'t witnessed Ye Guan\'s might with his own two eyes, he wouldn\'t have believed that a Heavenly Sovereign Realm cultivator could defeat a Divine Dao Realm cultivator.
His keen intuition also told him that Ye Guan had yet to use all of his trump cards.
"It seems like I still have to fight more..." Ye Guan muttered. Then, he frowned and asked, "Those three Gods haven\'t made any moves yet?"
Shen Ye said in a low voice, "The Qi Clan realized that you\'re not an easy opponent at all, so they retreated. As for those three Gods... perhaps they\'ve reached the same conclusion as the Qi Clan?"
Ye Guan shook his head and said, "I don\'t know."
Shen Ye grinned. "I\'ll send someone to investigate them."
"I\'d appreciate that. Thank you."
"You\'re welcome. We\'re allies, so it\'s only right that I help you."
Shen Ye had some reservations about their alliance, and it was all due to Ye Guan\'s cultivation base. But now, Shen Ye felt that he had made the right decision.
Having a powerful ally was beneficial to him. It was necessary to have friends in the wild, outside world.
Just then, Ye Guan sensed something. He left the world inside the tiny pagoda, and the spacetime in front of him trembled.
It split open, and an old man walked out slowly from the rift. The old man was none other than Old Zhao!
Old Zhao was surprised to see Ye Guan standing right in front of him, but he was afraid that Ye Guan would misunderstand his intentions for coming here, so he hurriedly said, "Young Lord Ye, I came on behalf of the Dao Market to talk to you."
Ye Guan chuckled softly. "Is there still anything to talk about between us?"
Old Zhao hesitated briefly before saying, "Let\'s just have a chat first?"
"Go ahead," Ye Guan said.
"The owner of the Dao Market knows that you are in possession of the First God\'s inheritance, and he\'d like to purchase an item from you using Ancestral Veins."
Ye Guan was curious. "Purchase an item from me?"
Old Zhao nodded. "Yes, it looks like a black ancient book."
Ye Guan frowned. The black ancient book was a mysterious item that the First God had left behind, and he still hadn\'t figured out its identity.
Old Zhao sounded cautious as he asked, "Are you selling it?"
"Why does he want to buy it?"
"I don\'t know."
"I\'m not selling it."
Old Zhao fell silent.
Ye Guan asked, "Is there anything else you\'d like to talk about?"
Old Zhao replied, "If you aren\'t willing to sell it, I\'m afraid the Dao Market will—"
"Snatch it away from me?" Ye Guan interjected.
"Yes," Old Zhao admitted.
"The Dao Market is quite domineering, it seems."
"Young Lord Ye, I know that your background isn\'t simple, but the Dao Market is really powerful. You still need to be careful..."
"Aren\'t you from the Dao Market?"
"Young Lord Ye, if my predictions are right, the Dao Market will dispatch the Four Great Dao Generals, and they are all in the Divine Dao Realm with forty percent divinity. Most importantly, they\'re brothers. Together, they\'re capable of killing a Divine Dao Realm cultivator with fifty percent divinity. You mustn\'t be careless, and you must not underestimate them..."
"Why are you telling me that?"
"Young Lord Ye, if you don\'t mind, I\'m willing to serve you faithfully."
Ye Guan was stunned. Why is Old Zhao switching sides?
Sensing Ye Guan\'s confusion, Old Zhao added, "Young Lord Ye, we were enemies before, so it\'s normal for us to be at odds. However, I\'ve decided to leave the Dao Market and stop working for it. If you don\'t mind, I\'m willing to serve you. My only goal is to annihilate the Qi Clan..."
Annihilate the Qi Clan? Ye Guan instantly understood Old Zhao\'s intentions.
Old Zhao added, "Young Lord Ye—"
Ye Guan suddenly raised a hand, silencing Old Zhao.
Old Zhao cast a puzzled gaze at Ye Guan.
"Powerful experts are heading toward us," Ye Guan said with narrowed eyes.
