<h4>Chapter 87: A Worthless Wretched Bastard</h4>


    Ye Guan noticed Ji Xuan’s silence, and he smiled bitterly. “Lady Ji, I don’t have any ulterior motives, and I’m not trying to trick you as well.


    ”You’re really strong, so if you’re willing to help me, I’m confident of killing the mastermind behind the kill order and escaping unscathed.”


    Ji Xuan went silent.


    The Ancient Heavenly Dragon n and the An ns were great, powerful ns, so one had to be prepared to face a disaster if one were to offend the two ns.


    In fact, even the Zhongtu Divine Continent’s Guanxuan Academy couldn’t afford to offend the two ns.


    “The mastermind offered a hundred million gold spiritual crystals, so it means that they have that much money on hand. Once I kill him, we’ll split the?money evenly. What do you think?” asked Ye Guan.


    Ji Xuan remained silent. Right as Ye Guan was about to say something, the space beside him quivered violently. A rift appeared in space, and Rao Xiu emerged from it, surprising both Ye Guan and Ji Xuan.


    Rao Xiu hurriedly approached Ye Guan.


    “Young Lord Qin used a special teleportation array to send me here,” he said before handing over a scroll to Ye Guan. “He told me to give this to you.”


    Ye Guan opened the scroll, and his pupils constricted. The scroll only had one sentence written in the middle of it—Major Tribtion Realm; leave immediately!


    Ye Guan looked at Rao Xiu and said, “Leave.”


    Rao Xiu flinched, but he nodded and said, “All right.”


    Rao Xiu was aware that he had no right to interfere in the uing battle between Ye Guan and the mastermind behind the kill order on Ye Guan’s head.


    Ye Guan fell silent. It seemed that he still underestimated the An n and the Ancient Heavenly Dragon n. He initially thought that the two ns would only send someone to teach him a lesson. He didn’t expect that they would send a Major Tribtion Realm cultivator to hunt him down.


    Ye Guan’s shock was understandable, as he was only a Space Shattering Realm cultivator. How could he expect them to go the extra mile and send a Major Tribtion Realm cultivator to hunt him down?


    The realms above the Space Shattering Realm were as such—the Space Annihtion Realm, the Earth Law Realm, the Heaven Law Realm, the Minor Tribtion Realm and finally, the Major Tribtion Realm.


    A Major Tribtion Realm cultivator was five cultivation realms higher than Ye Guan!


    Ye Guan’s expression fell. They’re really treating me seriously!


    Ji Xuan peeked over his shoulder and was appalled upon seeing the words written on the scroll.


    “You…” she muttered in disbelief.


    Ye Guan made a sidelong nce at Ji Xuan and said, “Lady Ji, there’s no way we can kill the mastermind. You should hurry up and leave!”


    After saying that, Ye Guan took flight.


    “Go to Sin City!” Ji Xuan shouted at him.


    Ye Guan turned to look at her, prompting Ji Xuan to exin, “Violence is prohibited in Sin City, and no one has ever broken that rule for almost a thousand years since Sin City was born.”


    Ye Guan nodded. “All right.”


    Ye Guan turned into a ray of light that disappeared into the horizon.


    …..


    Ye Guan’s expression was solemn as he made his way to Sin City. He had truly never expected that his enemies would send such a powerful cultivator to snuff him out. They clearly had no ns of giving Ye Guan a chance to retaliate.


    The city gates of Sin City were soon just a few hundred meters away from Ye Guan, but a horrifying aura suddenly locked onto him.


    Rumble!


    The space around Ye Guan quivered violently.


    Ye Guan’s eyes narrowed, and he decisively shed out with his sword.


    Boom!


    A loud explosion echoed as Ye Guan split space itself, carving a path to the city gates.


    Crackle!


    A lightning bolt struck Ye Guan’s head. The electric shock was so powerful that Ye Guan trembled violently upon being hit. He was just about to retreat and dodge another lightning bolt, but another powerful aura locked onto him.


    The powerful aura was like a cage, and it cut him off from any escape routes.


    Ye Guan swung his sword once again, tearing the cage apart, but the lightning bolt was already a few inches away from his head. Left with no choice, Ye Guan thrust his sword toward the lightning bolt.


    Boom!


    Ye Guan’s sword shattered upon impact, and he was sent flying a few meters away.


    He stood up with great difficulty and noticed that his clothes were on fire.


    Ye Guan’s eyes shone coldly. He opened his palm, wantonly unleashing his sword intent. The fire on his clothes was extinguished by the surging sword intent.


    Ye Guan looked up and saw a gray-robed old man holding a staff. A middle-aged man holding a long spear was standing next to the gray-robed old man.


    The middle-aged man wasn’t a Major Tribtion Realm cultivator, and Ye Guan also didn’t expect to see two people chasing after him.


    The cultivators of Sin City had gathered on the city walls and just behind the city gates to watch the uing battle.


    The gray-robed old man stared at Ye Guan and said, “I didn’t expect to see such a young Sword Immortal. It seems that we were right.”


    Ye Guan red at the gray-robed old man.


    “Were you trying to test my strength? Was that why you put a bounty on my head?”


    The gray-robed old man calmly replied, “Well, there’s no harm in making sure.”


    Ye Guan’s figure blurred, and he turned into a ray of light that flew toward Sin City. He was incredibly fast, and he reached the city in the blink of an eye.


    However, the gray-robed old man only chuckled sinisterly. He didn’t even attempt to stop Ye Guan.


    Ye Guan frowned. He felt that something was wrong.


    Rumble!


    A horrifying aura locked onto him. The space around Ye Guan shattered as if they were brittle ss, revealing numerous rifts. A ck-robed old man appeared in the distance, and the horrifying aura clearly belonged to him.


    The ck-robed old man stared at Ye Guan and said, “Please leave! Sin City does not wee you.”


    He’s not wee here? The cultivators in Sin City directed a strange look at the ck-robed old man. The ck-robed old man was the City Governor of Sin City, Zhang Yuan.


    Ye Guan wordlessly stared at Zhang Yuan for quite a while before he turned around and left the city.


    The gray-robed old man walked up to Ye Guan and jeered, “Ye Guan, do you have any idea why you’re still alive? Representative Ye is the only reason you’re still alive.


    “We have been waiting for her to return to the Main Guanxuan Academy, and now that she’s gone, you no longer have a backer. Without her protection, even the Great Sword Immortal standing behind you will meet a miserable end at our hands!”


    Ye Guan’s cold eyes narrowed. He was about to make a move, but the Path Sword within him flew out and beat him to the chase.


    Shwik!


    The gray-robed old man couldn’t even react as the Path Sword pierced through him.


    The cultivators of Sin City were dumbstruck.


    Ye Guan was also in disbelief. He hadn’t told it to move, so why did it move?


    Little Pagoda was calm in the tiny pagoda.


    “Say whatever you want to say, but you should have never mocked Sister Destiny!”


    “He can only me his big mouth for his death,” said the mysterious voice. You can bully him, but bullying his backer is a no-go!


    Meanwhile, the cultivators of Sin City were still stewing in their shock. He mortally wounded a Major Tribtion Realm cultivator? And what was that attack? How was it so fast?


    All eyesnded on Ye Guan. Has he been hiding his strength all this while?


    The gray-robed old man was still alive, and he stared at Ye Guan in disbelief. His pupils quivered in fear as he cried out, “You are not just a Sword Immortal! You… you’re a Great Sword Immortal!”


    The gray-robed old man’s words were like lightning bolts out of the blue, stupefying everyone.


    It had to be known that there was a distinct difference between a Sword Immortal and a Great Sword Immortal.


    Sword Immortals were brave existences, unafraid of death. They were powerful beings in their own right, and their heart belonged?solely to their swords.


    Meanwhile, Great Sword Immortals were beings that could exist without fleshly bodies, and the sword was not their only obsession anymore. In other words, Great Sword Immortals were truly immortals in every sense of the word.


    There had been Sword Immortals on the Zhongtu Divine Continent over the past few hundred years, but it had been almost a thousand years since the Zhongtu Divine Continent saw a Great Sword Immortal.


    Great Sword Immortals only existed in the vast Guanxuan Universe, and Great Sword Immortals were considered elites there.


    Was Ye Guan really a Great Sword Immortal?


    The cultivators were convinced that Ye Guan was a Great Sword Immortal because they saw with their own two eyes how he had mortally wounded a Major Tribtion Realm cultivator in the blink of an eye.


    There was no way a Sword Immortal could do what Ye Guan had just done. The cultivators started seeing Ye Guan in a new light. However, Ye Guan himself was silent.


    He was dumbfounded because he hadn’t made a move.


    “Master Pagoda, was it you?”


    Little Pagoda replied, “No!”


    Ye Guan frowned. “Does the Path Sword have a spirit of its own?”


    Little Pagoda replied, “No!”


    “Pinky swear?”


    Both Little Pagoda and Ye Guan fell silent.


    It was clear that Little Pagoda hadn’t made a move. The Path Sword had moved on its own, but… a sword that could move by itself?


    It was such an absurd idea that Ye Guan couldn’t quite wrap his head around it.


    Brrr!


    The Path Sword vibrated and split the gray-robed old man.


    The middle-aged man next to the gray-robed old man went beyond pallid.


    “A Great Sword Immortal! You’re actually—” The middle-aged man cut himself off to turn around and run using the full extent of his cultivation base. It didn’t take him that long to disappear into the horizon.


    The Path Sword returned to Ye Guan.


    Ye Guan looked down at it in silence.


    The cultivators stared fearfully at Ye Guan, but one could also see a glint of respect in their eyes. He’s actually a Great Sword Immortal! And he’s such a young Great Sword Immortal at that!


    They watched as Ye Guan turned toward Zhang Yuan, who was staring at him in horror.


    However, Ye Guan didn’t do anything against Zhang Yuan.


    He simply turned around and left.


    …


    A middle-aged man was kneeling in front of a woman seated on a chair. The middle-aged man was none other than the middle-aged man who had fled Sin City in a hurry, while the woman was the newly appointed n leader of the An n.


    “He’s a Great Sword Immortal?” asked n Leader An Ya.


    The middle-aged man’s voice was trembling as he said, “Y-yes!”


    An Ya chuckled and remarked, “It seems that I underestimated him once again. He’s full of surprises!”


    The middle-aged man lowered his head. He didn’t dare to speak.


    An Ya closed her eyes and said, “Send An Wujun!”


    An Wujun! The middle-aged man’s expression fell.


    An Wujun was an infamous elite of the An n stationed in the Guanxuan Universe.


    A woman’s voice echoed from somewhere. “We don’t have to do that, n Leader!”


    The middle-aged man turned and saw a woman dressed in a white robe. Her long hair reached her waist, and her gaze was icy. The middle-aged man immediately lowered his head upon recognizing her.


    An Daoxin! She was the young miss of the An n. Many people thought that An Mu was the most talented individual in the An n, but they had no idea that the An n’s greatest talent among the younger generation was An Daoxin.


    An Mu had grown up in the An n, but An Daoxin had grown up in the Main Guanxuan Academy. She was the true genius of the An n’s younger generation.


    The An n had high expectations of her. They expected her to be a Martial Goddess along with the two Martial Goddesses of the An n.


    An Ya stared deeply at An Daoxin.


    An Daoxin calmly added, “I don’t think we have to bother Uncle for a mere?Ye Guan. I should be able to handle him by myself, n Leader.”


    An Ya sounded hesitant as she asked, “Are you confident?”


    An Daoxin?chuckled and said, “I think he’s also interested in the Great Dao Contest, and I think that’s the reason he has been unting his prowess.


    ”I will snuff him out and put an end to his arrogance. I’ll let the world know that the An n isn’t so easy to bully.”


    An Ya went silent. An Daoxin?was right. There were indeed some rumors about how the An n had fallen because a mere Ye Guan was bullying them.


    An Daoxin suddenly added, “I’ve already met that man from Milky?Way, and we’re already friends.”


    An Ya jumped up from her seat, and she asked incredulously, “Are you serious?”


    An Daoxin?nodded.


    An Ya boisterouslyughed. An Daoxin was talking about the man that Great?Daoist Brush Master had chosen, and he was also the so-called Chosen One of the current generation, simr to how the Sword Master was the Chosen One of his generation.


    How did An n reach its current status?


    There were two reasons behind it. The An n’s Martial Goddesses, and the fact that the two Martial Goddesses of the An n were once the followers of a certain Chosen One.


    And that was how the An n reached its current heights…


    Now, what were the implications of An Daoxin befriending the Chosen One of the current generation? It meant that the An n would surely give birth to another Martial Goddess, which would extend the prosperity of the An n for a few thousand years at the very least.


    As for Ye Guan… An Ya?scoffed. He was simply a worthless wretched bastard with some talent.


    In other words, he was worth nothing.
