I Have a Sword - Chapter 671: Is This All You've Got?

The Northern Demon King was going to take this trip personally!

Upon hearing his words, Shen Ye sighed internally.

He knew that the Ancient Wilderness were not particularly concerned about the profits of the Dao Market, but First God’s inheritance…

Not just the Ancient Wilderness, but the Zhen Clan and the God Clan would also have their eyes on it. The notes left behind by First God were simply too tempting for any cultivator.

After the Northern Demon King finished speaking, he immediately took a step forward and disappeared along with Northern Sealing Demon General. He knew that he had to hurry if he wanted to get his hands on those notes, because the other Demon Kings, the Shen Clan and the God Clan were possibly going to make their moves soon as well.

Within the hall, Shen Ye shook his head slightly. He wanted to advise the Northern Demon King, but he knew that the Demon King would not listen to him anyway.

In the Demon King’s eyes, Shen Ye was not an important figure at all. If he tried to give advice, it would only be unappreciated, or even put his life at risk.

He shook his head again before he turned and left.

…

God Clan.

An old man brought a young lady with him as they left the God Clan on this day.

The old man was wearing a black robe and his hair was completely white, while the lady beside him was wearing a robe as white as snow. She was incredibly beautiful.

The lady asked, “Grand Elder, do you think Ye Guan will pass the notebook to us?”

The old man replied calmly, “No, but it’s alright. We can just rob him.”

The lady fell silent.

The old man looked up at the sky expressionlessly and said, “The things in this world can only be achieved by people with strength.”

“Grand Elder, why did First God leave the God Clan back then?” the lady asked.

The old man’s expression soured at this question. The lady looked at him expectantly, waiting for an answer.

The younger generation did not know the reason why First God left the God Clan. In fact, it was a taboo topic and no one dared to mention it. Hence, many people now only knew that First God was from the First Clan, but not many knew why he left in the first place.

As the old man thought about what had happened in the past, a complicated look flashed past his eyes before he sighed.

The lady continued to ask, “Grand Elder, can you explain to me what happened?”

The old man thought about this lady’s special identity and decided to tell her. He said, “I don’t know the specifics. I only know that back then, a conflict happened between First God and the clan leader of the God Clan. I don’t know what the conflict was about, but I do know that First God killed six elders back then… That internal conflict almost caused our whole clan to be annihilated.”

The lady said in a low voice, “First God possessed monstrous talent. The clan would definitely pour in all our resources to cultivate him, there was no way a conflict could have happened…”

The old man nodded. “That’s right. This is also why many of our clan members are puzzled, but I am guessing that it is because of a woman.

“My grandfather once told me that First God liked a woman back then, but the clan did not approve of him pursuing that woman… This is probably the reason why the conflict arose, but I don’t know what happened in detail. If the conflict had not happened and First God stayed in our clan, we would’ve been able to annihilate the Zhen Clan and the Ancient Wilderness a long time ago. Even the Primordial Spirit Land would be under our jurisdiction.”

Indeed, if First God had stayed in the God Clan, with his terrifying strength, no one would be a match for the God Clan in the entire universe. The God Clan would be the strongest clan in the whole world!

It was a pity that First God chose to sever all ties with the clan, and his departure impacted the clan greatly.

The lady said, “I’ve found out more about First God. He has a warm personality, he doesn’t seem like someone who is violent…”

The old man warned her, “Shen Xue, watch your words.”

Then, he advised her, “Shen Xue, let me give you a word of advice. Your identity is special and you are destined to be extraordinary. However, you must know that your position is not stable. If you continue to look into these matters and the older generation finds out, you’ll…”

Shen Xue replied calmly, “I understand what Grand Elder is trying to tell me.”

The old man nodded slightly and added, “It’s best you don’t bring up these things that happened in the past, lest you upset those elders. Them being upset with you is the last thing that you want.”

Shen Xue said, “I was just a little curious. That’s all.”

Reversing the case? She certainly did not have that in mind. She did not have the ability to do that now. Furthermore, First God had already self-destructed. Reversing the case would not have made any difference at all.

As if thinking of something, Shen Xue said, “Since Ye Guan was able to get his inheritance, he must probably be someone special too. We should be more cautious.”

The old man nodded. “Naturally. This person was able to kill Dao Ran. He must be extremely talented. However, no matter how talented he is, he is still as insignificant as an ant when faced against giant clans like us, unless he is as strong as First God or has someone as strong as First God backing him up.”

Then, he chuckled and said, “And evidently, that is not possible.”

A figure like First God only appeared once every million years. No matter how strong Ye Guan is, there is no way he is as powerful as First God right now. On the other hand, if he has someone that is as powerful as First God backing him up, there is no way that the God Clan would not know about this.”

Shen Xue looked at the Grand Elder without a word.

Intuition told her that Ye Guan was not a simple person, because he dared to destroy the Dao Market without any concern for the Zhen Clan and the Ancient Wilderness. Such a person was either ignorant, or just completely not fearful of them, and she believed more in the latter.

Right at this moment, spacetime in front of the Grand Elder trembled slightly. His face fell as he said, “The Northern Demon King has left to find Ye Guan.”

Shen Xue frowned.

The Grand Elder continued, “There is no way that a Demon King would make a move just because of what happened with the Dao Market. He must be doing this because of that notebook. Let’s go.”

Then, both of them disappeared.

…

In the tiny pagoda, Ye Guan stood in the midst of a starry sky. His eyes were closed and his aura was restrained.

After an unknown amount of time passed, he suddenly opened his eyes and the entire starry sky turned illusory. Soon after, a sword rushed out from his body.

Boom!

The entire universe in the tiny pagoda shook violently, causing a faint smile to appear on his lips.

Three consecutive Space Overlaps!

He had been practicing this sword technique a lot over the past five years and finally, he had succeeded.

He made some rough estimations in his head and deduced that the power of this sword technique had increased by multiple folds. If he wielded the Qingxuan Sword and activated his bloodline powers, the increase in his strength would be even more terrifying.

He wanted to invite Erya over to test this sword technique, but after thinking about it a little more, he decided not to. He did not want to get beaten up again. Erya was ridiculously strong.

Seemingly thinking of something, he came to an expanse of clouds and saw Ao Qianqian sitting there cross-legged, a powerful aura emanating from her body. Her aura was getting stronger and stronger, causing the sea of clouds all around her to boil.

A smile formed on his face. He could tell that Ao Qianqian was on the verge of a breakthrough.

Erya suddenly appeared beside Ye Guan, and Ye Guan was about to say something when Erya said, “There is a powerful aura inching closer to us.”

Ye Guan’s expression turned serious. Thousands of meters away from him, spacetime ruptured and a middle-aged man walked out of the rift. It was the Northern Demon King.

Beside him, it was the Northern Sealing Demon General.

Ye Guan’s expression became even heavier. He knew that this person was definitely a Demon King from the terrifying aura that he was giving out. The Northern Sealing Demon General’s aura could not even compare to it.

He had to leave this Demon King to Erya!

Right as he was thinking of that, Erya appeared beside him, staring at the Northern Demon King calmly.

When the Northern Demon King saw her, he immediately frowned. Before he came, he had already known that there was an Evil Beast that accompanied Ye Guan. He just didn’t think that this Evil Beast would have been a little girl, which made him slightly surprised.

The Northern Demon King said, “Hand the notebook over, and I’ll give you a more painless death.”

Of course the Northern Demon King was not going to let a talent like Ye Guan live. He was not afraid of Ye Guan, but he did not want any trouble either. Since he could resolve this right now, why leave it to after?

Ye Guan took one step backwards and said, “If you can beat my Grandaunt Erya, I’ll surrender to you.”

If Erya was beaten by the Northern Demon King, then there was truly no longer any point in him fighting anyway.

The Northern Demon King stared at Erya blandly before he asked, “She is the one that’s giving you such confidence to act so brazenly?”

Ye Guan nodded. “Yes.”

The Northern Demon King said calmly, “Then I’ll beat her to death right in front of you!”

Then, he suddenly lunged forward and threw a punch out. The heavens and earth were instantly shattered!

Erya was expressionless as she threw out a punch of her own.

Boom!

Instantly, Ye Guan and the Northern Sealing Demon General were knocked backwards by thousands of meters. When they stopped, they looked at the area where Erya and the Northern Demon King were originally standing, and they saw that that area had turned completely pitch-black, yet Erya and the Northern Demon King had not moved by even an inch.

Ye Guan’s expression turned solemn. Evidently, he was not ready to go against elites with seventy-percent divinity just yet.

The Northern Demon King stared at Ye Guan with a hint of seriousness in his eyes. He was starting to realize that he had underestimated this little girl.

Erya licked on her candied hawthorn and gave the Northern Demon King an uninterested look as she remarked, “Is this all you’ve got?”
