Chapter 304: Besiege Ye Guan and in-skirt Lady
The young woman was wearing a shabby skirt.
Her hair was a little messy, resembling a bird’s nest. Her face was covered with charcoal ash, but her eyes were as clear as a cidke. She was hugging an entire sack of sweet potatoes.
She was obviously hungry because she was taking huge bites of a sweet potato, even though she had yet to clean it.
Seeing that no one was chasing her, she heaved a sigh of relief before sitting at the corner of a street. She continued on taking huge bites of her sweet potato, making her look like she was absolutely starving.
Ye Guan slowly walked up to her. The young woman was stunned to see Ye Guan, but she quickly hugged her sack of sweet potatoes. She cast a wary nce at Ye Guan.
Ye Guan felt a pang of pain in his heart upon seeing her wary gaze toward him.
He crouched and asked softly, “Do you know me?”
The young woman stared at Ye Guan for quite a while before shaking her head.
Ye Guan clenched his fists tightly.
“Will youe with me?” he asked. He extended a trembling right hand toward her.
The young woman stared deeply at him before shaking her head.
Ye Guan fell silent.
After a long while, he took out arge bowl and gave it to her. “This is yours.”
The young woman was unwittingly transfixed on therge bowl, and she remained silent as she stared at it.
Ye Guan asked again, “Come with me, please?”
The young woman shook her head and said, “No.”
Hearing that, Ye Guan couldn''t speak for a while. Eventually, he took out a storage ring and gave it to her. “This ring contains a lot of delicious food, and they’re all your favorites. Take this ring and enjoy your food.”
The young woman was quiet.
Ye Guan muttered, “I’ll get going now, then.”
The young woman remained silent.
Sadness shed past Ye Guan''s eyes at the young woman''s silence, but he eventually got up to leave.
Just then, the young woman suddenly got up.
Ye Guan stopped in his tracks and turned around to take a look at her. However, the young woman didn''t even spare him a nce as she hugged therge bowl and started walking away from Ye Guan.
Ye Guan stared at her departing figure before eventually walking away. The two walked in the opposite direction from each other, and neither of them turned around even once.
The young woman inexplicably started crying, and her tears fell onto therge bowl.
Soon, she found herself standing before a stone hut. She put away therge bowl before entering the hut. The hut contained nothing but four small wooden beds ced flush with each other.
The young woman’s gaze turned nk upon seeing the four wooden beds. The memories of her past inundated her, and she realized that she was truly happy at the time.
Just then, ady slowly walked into the house. It was the mysteriousdy.
The mysteriousdy said, “He was worried, so he told me toe and see if you needed anything else.”
The young woman sat down on the bed before shey downpletely.
She put her arms behind her head and looked at the ceiling in silence.
The mysteriousdy walked up to her andy on the bed as well.
“When did you recover your memories?”
The young woman replied, “I recovered them the moment I saw him..”
The mysteriousdy was taken aback.
The young woman exined, “I didn''t expect it either."
The mysteriousdy asked, “Why did you not leave with him, then?”
The young woman replied, “I loved him, and it taught me a lesson.”
The mysteriousdy fell silent, unable to refute. She knew that the biggest problem between Ba Wan and Ye Guan was the fact that one of them was a denizen of the True Universe while the other was the King of the Guanxuan Universe.
At the moment, it was a dilemma with no correct answer.
“What about you?" Ba Wan asked, "You’ve been following him; just what are you nning?”
"What?" the mysteriousdy replied ndly, “Are you scared that I might harm him?”
Ba Wan shook her head and said, “Sometimes, you overthink more than Big Sister.”
The mysteriousdyughed at that.
Ba Wan suddenly said, “Go on then.”
The mysteriousdy got up and looked at Ba Wan.
“What about you?” she asked.
Ba Wan said, “I’d like to stay here a little longer.”
The mysteriousdy nodded lightly and turned around to leave.
Just as she was about to open the door to exit the hut, the mysteriousdy recalled something, and she couldn''t help but ask, "Did you guys really not use any protection?”
Swoosh!
The mysteriousdy''s figure blurred to avoid a flying brick. She left a peal ofughter in her wake as she turned into a ray of light that disappeared into the distance.
Left all alone in the stone hut, Ba Wan picked up therge bowl and stared quietly at it for a very long time.
…
Ye Guan had been waiting for the mysteriousdy''s return from the Stone Vige.
Soon, the mysteriousdy finally returned.
"How was it?" he asked.
The mysteriousdy replied, “You don’t have to worry about her.”
Ye Guan nodded. He wanted to ask more questions, but he realized that there was no need for him to ask so many questions.
With that in mind, Ye Guan''s eyes fell on the in-skirtdy. “Aunt, let’s go!”
The in-skirtdy waved her sleeve, and the two of them vanished into thin air.
…
The cultivators of the Heaven Seizing n had no choice but to retreat into the boundary in the aftermath of their surprise attack against the Guanxuan Universe.
Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao was the most frustrated out of everyone. He had brought about a hundred elite cultivators of the Heaven Seizing n to attack the Guanxuan Universe, but he had to return all by himself without those elite cultivators.
To make matters worse, their failure had made them obtain nothing, but they had also lost roughly seventy percent of the Heaven Seizing n''s forces.
The entire Heaven Seizing n was in shock.
Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao was currently sitting on a random rock in the middle of a chaotic chunk of spacetime. The members of the Heaven Seizing n stood quietly behind him.
The n members had no idea just why Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao had decided to retreat so fast and out of the blue. Afterward, Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao even ceased allmunication to focus on his closed-door seclusion.
The expressions of the Heaven Seizing n members were sour and heavy. Of course, they also looked a bit afraid. It couldn''t be helped because the n leader had returned to the n by himself without his crew.
None of them thought that the Guanxuan Universe would end up being so scary. It had to be known that more than ten Great Time Sovereigns had gone with the n Leader to the Guanxuan Universe.
In other words, the fact that the n leader had returned by himself was a huge g.
The people criticizing Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao had no idea about what had transpired on that day. Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao also didn''t tell them about what had happened. In the end, they could only deduce that internal strife had to have broken out while they were traveling toward the Guanxuan Universe.
Boom!
A powerful aura burst out of Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao. The aura was so strong that the members of the Heaven Seizing n fell into a daze.
The aura of a Great Destiny Sovereign!
The process didn''t end here. Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao’s aura grew increasingly stronger, and the spacetime around him quivered violently. The members of the Heaven Seizing n hurriedly left; they didn''t wish to disturb him.
Meanwhile, a Grand Elder of the Heaven Seizing n, Heaven Seizing Que, suddenly asked in a low voice, “Did the True Universe end up making any moves against the Guanxuan Universe?”
"No," said an elder in a low voice, “The True Universe didn''t attack the Guanxuan Universe. In fact, they immediately pulled out their troops upon hearing that we''ve decided to attack the Guanxuan Universe.”
Heaven Seizing Que’s expression turned gloomy. “We''ve been had.”
The expressions of the other elders turned sour as well.
They had truly been bamboozled.
Of course, it wasn''t like they werepletely faultless.
They had made a mistake byunching an ambush without assessing the situation, which led to them getting bamboozled by the True Universe. Naturally, none of the elders were daring enough toin as the mission was kickstarted by Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao.
A member of the Heaven Seizing n suddenly said, “I received news that Ye Guan is heading to the Chaotic Star World.”
Heaven Seizing Que frowned. “Chaotic Star World?”
“Yes.”
“What is he going to do there?”
Chaotic Star World was a ce that even Great Sovereigns avoided, and it was more special than the Heaven Seizing n''s boundary of their own universe. Of course, it was a ce filled with perils that''d certainly catch anyone by surprise.
The Chaotic Star World was at odds with the True Universe, so the True Universe sent troops to prevent the denizens of the Chaotic Star World from escaping the world. In other words, the entrance to the Chaotic Star World was heavily guarded.
"I don''t know…"
"Is he by himself?” Heaven Seizing Que asked.
“It seems like he’s gone with a woman wearing a in skirt.”
“A woman?”
“Yes!”
“Are you sure there''s no one else?”
“Yes, I’m sure. The Martial Goddess and the other supreme elites of the Guanxuan Universe are on the Xuzhen Battlefield at the moment.”
The revtion surprised Heaven Seizing Que, and he paced back and forth for a long time before saying, “We’ll get rid of them.”
The old man was slightly taken aback.
Heaven Seizing Que eximed, “It''s an extremely rare opportunity!”
The old man hesitated and asked, “Howe?”
Heaven Seizing Que exined, “Think about it: our Heaven Seizing n has just suffered a lot against the Guanxuan Universe. Do you really think that the Guanxuan Universe will even think that we''re going to attack Ye Guan again so soon?”
The old man fell silent.
Heaven Seizing Que''s words made sense, but something felt off.
Heaven Seizing Que continued. “The Guanxuan Universe has gotten too arrogant. Ye Guan has actually decided to head to the Chaotic Star World with just one person! That decision alone is the epitome of arrogance. We should definitely carry out another ambush.”
Another ambush! The Heaven Seizing n members were shocked.
Having made up his mind, Heaven Seizing Que ordered, “Gather the remaining elite cultivators of our n; we’ll go there and kill him together with that woman.”
The old man hesitated for a while before saying, “Pardon me, Grand Elder, but I really think that there''s something weird about all this. Shouldn’t we wait for our n leader toe out of closed-door seclusion before we make a decision?”
“Why should we wait?” Heaven Seizing Que was furious, and he yelled, “This is an extremely rare opportunity for our n! If we miss this chance, it''ll be extremely hard for us to try and kill Ye Guan once he''s back at the Guanxuan Universe.”
The old man wanted to say something, but Heaven Seizing Que said, “Are you scared, Heaven Seizing Lie?”
Heaven Seizing Lie replied in a low voice, “I just think that this matter is of huge importance, and we should let our n leader decide our next course of action.”
Heaven Seizing Que''s voice sounded cold as he said, “The n Leader is in closed-door cultivation at the moment, do you even have the guts to disturb him? I know that you''re familiar with his personality.
"If n Leader were in my shoes, he would definitely even up creating the same n as mine."
The Heaven Seizing n members went silent because Heaven Seizing Que was right. Their n leader would definitely approve of such a strategy if he were in Heaven Seizing Que''s shoes.
"Heaven Seizing Lie," Heaven Seizing Que said before continuing, “There are only two of them. Think about it: even if that in-skirtdy is strong, she''ll just be a Great Time Sovereign at best. If I were to exaggerate, she would be a Great Destiny Sovereign.
"We still have two Great Destiny Sovereigns on our side. The in-skirtdy is as good as dead; we just have to besiege her."
Heaven Seizing Lie was silent. He was cautious and meticulous, so he preferred waiting for Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao''s decision uponing out of closed-door seclusion.
Just then, Heaven Seizing Que said, “How can we achieve great things if we keep on staying passive?”
"Yes, I think we should give it a shot," said another member of the Heaven Seizing n, “Our opponents are just Ye Guan and a woman wearing a in skirt. Ye Guan is extremely talented, but he''s much too young. There''s no way he can defeat us."
"As for that in-skirtdy…" Heaven Seizing Que trailed off. He waved his hand dismissively before saying, “I’ll deal with her myself! Anyway, we must not lose this rare opportunity. Let’s go!”
With that, the remaining elites of the Heaven Seizing n took to the skies with Heaven Seizing Que. Of course, Heaven Seizing Que brought the Heaven Seizing n''s remaining two Great Destiny Sovereigns with him.
Soon, hundreds of beams of light flew across the vast expanse, and they all headed straight to Ye Guan and the in-skirtdy.
