Chapter 674: Your Father Has Not Died
The Northern Demon King furrowed his brows. "As far as I know, isn\'t the current heir of the God Clan, Shen Xin?"
Beside the Northern Demon King, the Northern Sealing Demon General spoke in a deep voice. "This woman is probably someone new brought up by the God Clan."
The Northern Demon King sneered. "Human beings always like to play these balancing tricks. They\'re not afraid of courting disaster."
The Northern Sealing Demon General remained silent.
The Northern Demon King seemed to think of something. He turned his head to look at the end of the starry sky and said, "Let\'s leak the information about Ye Guan possessing the notes of the First God to the Ancient Wilderness."
The Northern Sealing Demon General glanced at the Northern Demon King. He knew that the Northern Demon King intended to use others to do his dirty work.
To be honest, he didn\'t quite like this approach because, in his view, the Northern Demon King wanted other Demon Kings to suffer losses.
And by doing so, it would mean compromising the strength of the demon race.Moreover, as demons, they shouldn\'t engage in such conspiracies and tricks.
However, he didn\'t say anything further, only nodding silently.
Internal strife within the demon race was something even the Demon God couldn\'t completely resolve, let alone him.
...
On the other side, Erya led Ye Guan into a vast expanse of space.
Along the way, Erya guided Ye Guan through the stars, so Ye Guan didn\'t know where he was.
Ye Guan asked a few times along the way, but Erya didn\'t say anything.
At this moment, Erya stopped.
Ye Guan turned to Erya beside him. "Where are we?"
Erya pointed into the distance.
Ye Guan followed Erya\'s finger and looked into the distance. At the end of his sight, he vaguely saw an ancient ruin.
Ye Guan was somewhat surprised. "What is this?"
Erya replied seriously, "Let\'s steal...I mean, not steal but archaeology!"
Archaeology!
Ye Guan\'s face was dark. "Didn\'t you say you were taking me to cultivate?"
Erya rolled her eyes. "Do you think archaeology doesn\'t require strength?"
Ye Guan fell silent.
Indeed, archaeology also required strength.
Erya said seriously, "This time, you\'ll do the exploration yourself."
Ye Guan blinked. "Me?"
Erya nodded. "Yes."
Ye Guan hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Is it dangerous?"
Erya immediately shook her head. "No."
Ye Guan turned to look at the ruins in the distance. He shook his head with a smile. Indeed, with his current strength, as long as it wasn\'t a strong cultivator with over sixty percent divinity, who could hurt him? And those with over sixty percent divinity weren\'t abundant. They would not be here right?
With this in mind, Ye Guan smiled. "I\'ll go."
With that, he headed towards the distant ruins.
Erya watched Ye Guan leave, her eyes flashing with an indiscernible emotion.
On her shoulder, Little White pointed towards the distance, then waved her small paw, as if saying something.
Erya said calmly, "Grandson needs to endure some hardships."
Little White seemed to understand, or maybe not.
Soon, Ye Guan arrived at the ruins. This place had clearly once been a massive force. At the center of the ruins stood dozens of towering pillars, reaching heights of ten thousand meters, looking majestic amidst the starry sky.
Looking at the ruins before him, Ye Guan\'s eyes flickered with complexity. He knew that this place had surely been glorious in the past. But now, it had turned into ruins. Regardless of the power, in the face of time, all were like dust.
At this moment, Ye Guan couldn\'t help but feel a twinge of emotion. He wondered if in countless years, the Guanxuan Academy would also become like this, and another person would stand before it, feeling nostalgic.
Ye Guan shook his head with a smile. He seemed to be thinking too much.
Recalling his thoughts, Ye Guan walked towards the pillars. Though confident, he didn\'t underestimate the situation, remaining vigilant and ready to act at any moment.
However, the journey was calm, with no unexpected incidents.
Soon, Ye Guan arrived before the pillars. As he looked at them, his brows furrowed. Each of these pillars was inscribed with ancient runes and symbols. Seeing these ancient symbols, he inexplicably felt a palpitation.
What is this?
Ye Guan was puzzled.At that moment, the ancient runes suddenly began to tremble. In the next moment, Ye Guan felt his vision blur, and he was directly transported into an endless dark void.
It was pitch black, with nothing visible!
Ye Guan squinted his eyes. With a flick of his sleeve, a sword light suddenly soared into the sky, but in an instant, that sword light vanished.
Seeing this, Ye Guan\'s face changed. He released his Invincible Sword Intent again, but in an instant, it was erased.
Without much thought, Ye Guan was about to retrieve his Qingxuan Sword, but he froze.
Because the Qingxuan Sword was gone!
Gone!
What\'s going on?
Ye Guan was somewhat bewildered, and he quickly asked, "Master Pagoda?"
Little Pagoda replied in a deep voice, "Your dather took back the Qingxuan Sword."
Ye Guan\'s face was full of black lines. "Why didn\'t father inform me?"
Little Pagoda said, "That was originally your father\'s. Your father hasn\'t died...uh, not that, I didn\'t mean anything else."
Ye Guan was silent.
In the scene, Ye Guan fell into silence. The Qingxuan Sword was gone. How was he going to handle this? With the Qingxuan Sword, this ghostly place was nothing to him. But now...No, Ye Guan\'s brow suddenly furrowed. He realized that unconsciously, he had become dependent on the Qingxuan Sword. Yes, with the Qingxuan Sword, even facing the strongest enemy, he felt confident and had the power to fight. But once without the Qingxuan Sword, he would revert to his original state.
At this moment, he wasn\'t thinking about facing the current difficulties with his own abilities but thinking about how to solve them with the Qingxuan Sword. However, the Qingxuan Sword was not his, and its abilities were not his. Habit! Ye Guan shook his head with a smile. He had previously thought that he wouldn\'t rely on the Qingxuan Sword again, only using it in critical moments. But gradually, he had unconsciously become accustomed to the convenience brought by the Qingxuan Sword.
Self-reflection and tempering were necessary at all times. Ye Guan slowly opened his eyes to pitch darkness. With his current strength, no amount of darkness could obstruct his vision. Obviously, he should be in some kind of sealed realm.
At this thought, Ye Guan suddenly opened his palm, and a Sword Intent appeared in his hand. In the next moment, he fiercely thrust forward.
Space Overlap!
As this sword was released, a terrifying force erupted in front of him. But in an instant, that terrifying force disappeared without a trace, like a stone falling into an abyss. Seeing this scene, Ye Guan\'s brow furrowed. What kind of place was this?
Without much thought, Ye Guan soared on his sword, directly turning into a sword light and heading upwards. But after flying for a long time, his face darkened again because he found that there was no end.
With his current strength, he could cross a galaxy in the blink of an eye just by riding his sword, but now it felt like he was treading water. Trapped! Ye Guan slowly closed his eyes, trying to calm himself down because he felt somewhat restless in this pitch darkness without any sense of time.
After calming down, Ye Guan attempted once again to use his spiritual senses to perceive his surroundings, but it was still pitch black, and he couldn\'t see anything. Unable to help himself, he asked, "Master Pagoda, can you see anything here?"
Little Pagoda replied in a deep voice, "No."
Ye Guan glanced around and said, "Erya should know my current situation, but she hasn\'t made a move, probably hoping I\'ll solve it myself..."
Thinking of this, Ye Guan looked around again, still seeing nothing but darkness. He then said in a solemn tone, "Would you like to come out and have a chat?"
He knew that something had trapped him here, and the other party must be lurking in the darkness. However, there was no response whatsoever!
Frowning, Ye Guan asked again, "Are you really not going to talk to me?"
Still, there was no response from the darkness.
Ye Guan said indifferently, "As you wish."
With that, he entered the Little Pagoda.
Damn it! If you don\'t want to chat, then don\'t. It\'s not like he was in a hurry! Inside the Little Pagoda, he could practice comfortably, and with so many forces outside looking for him, he believed that they were more anxious than he was about being trapped here. After returning to the Little Pagoda, Ye Guan resumed his cultivation.
Now he was in a competition with the other party to see who could endure longer. Anyway, with ten years passing inside the tower for every day outside, he wasn\'t worried at all. He had plenty of time to waste, and even if the other party never showed up, he wasn\'t afraid. He believed that the Ancient Wilderness, the God Clan, and even the Temple of the Gods would come looking for him, Ye Guan.
Sure enough, after Ye Guan was trapped, the forces outside were frantically searching for him. On a mountaintop, Shen Xue held a scroll in her hand, containing details on everything that had happened since Ye Guan arrived in the Old Era. After reading through it, Shen Xue fell silent for a moment, then looked at the black-robed old man in front of her. "Where is he now?"
The old man in the black robe replied, "Our informants say he entered the Black Death Realm with that little girl."
Shen Xue frowned. "The Black Death Realm?"
The old man nodded. "Yes."
Shen Xue was puzzled. "What is he doing there?"
The old man shook his head. "I don\'t know."
Then, hesitating, he added, "And it seems he\'s trapped in the Black Death Prison."
"What!" Shen Gu, who was beside Shen Xue, exclaimed urgently. "He\'s in the Black Death Prison?"
The old man nodded. "Yes."
"Damn it!" Shen Gu cursed. "How did he end up in the Black Death Prison? Damn it..."
Shen Xue\'s expression darkened too. She hadn\'t expected him to be trapped in the Black Death Prison. What puzzled her was how Ye Guan ended up in that place.
Suddenly, Shen Gu asked, "Is he dead?"
The old man shook his head. "I don\'t know."
Shen Gu\'s face grew grim, lost in thought.
Shen Xue suddenly said, "Elder, can the God Clan negotiate with the Black Death Prison?"
Shen Gu shook his head. "We don\'t have the authority. Only the Clan Leader has the authority to, but the Clan Leader..."
Shen Xue said in a deep voice, "Go find the Clan Leader."
Shen Gu looked at Shen Xue in astonishment.
Shen Xue continued, "If we don\'t save him, the inheritance of First God will fall into the hands of that person in the Black Death Prison."
Shen Gu\'s face darkened. "Damn it, what a mess!"
To snatch this damn thing, they had to save this damn person...
