I Have A Sword

Chapter 209: Ascend to the Throne

Ye Guan was speechless. How dare you criticize me for relying on others when you’ve been relying on others as well! Talk about double standards!

Of course, he was truly surprised. He didn’t expect that he had so many relatives and that they were elites among elite cultivators. Erya and Weiran had truly surprised him—to think that they were so powerful.

What about Little White?

Forget it! Ye Guan looked at her, utterly speechless.

Little White had almost blown him to smithereens not too long ago!

Ruler An was both infuriated and frustrated, but her shock was greater than those two combined.

She was the mastermind behind this assassination attempt. She was convinced that her plan would succeed. After all, she had insiders within the Guanxuan Academy, and they could come to the hinterland of the Guanxuan Universe anytime they wished.

Furthermore, Ye Guan was extremely vulnerable at the moment.

How could ten Divine Sovereigns fail to kill her?

Unfortunately, Ruler An had made a huge miscalculation. She didn’t expect to see so many elites behind Ye Guan. Just where had they come from? They were missing during that war thirty million years ago, but now they were here?

To make matters worse, the Divine Dusk Guards that she had summoned were currently being stalled by an elite swordsman. Divine Dusk Guards were terrifying individuals, even among the elites of the True Universe, but a lone swordsman actually managed to stop them dead in their tracks!

One could only imagine the elite swordsman’s strength.

A sense of helplessness rose in Ruler An’s heart. It seemed that they wouldn’t be able to kill Ye Guan today. She had to think of a way to kill Ye Guan covertly rather than do it openly and in a full frontal confrontation.

Ruler An removed her gaze off of Ye Guan and said decisively, “Retreat!”

A spacetime tunnel appeared behind her.

Swoosh!

An Nanjing’s figure blurred, and spacetime was abruptly torn apart right before Ruler An and the Divine Sovereigns could retreat.

A spear made a beeline for Ruler An and the rest.

Ruler An’s pupils constricted.

She waved her sleeve, sending a streak of dark light toward the oncoming spear!

Rumble!

The dark light shattered upon hitting the spear. It only managed to stop the spear briefly, but a moment was enough time for Ruler An and the rest to retreat into the spacetime tunnel.

Ruler An stared deeply at Ye Guan as she slowly disappeared.

Ye Guan quietly stared at Ruler An. Ruler An would definitely keep an eye on him from now on. It was a pity that he couldn’t get rid of her once and for all. From now on, she was bound to be one of the dangers lurking in the dark for him.

Soon, Ruler An and the Divine Sovereigns finally vanished.

After a moment of silence, An Nanjing turned to Ye Guan and said, “Head to the Eternal World with the others. Erya, Weiran, follow me!”

She took one step forward and thrust her spear forward.

Boom!

Space caved in before soon becoming a spacetime tunnel.

An Nanjing, Erya, and Zhuang Weiran rushed into the spacetime tunnel. Evidently, An Nanjing didn’t want to let Ruler An go just like that.

Beside Ye Guan, Wu Lao said, “Young Master, we should get going.”

Ye Guan nodded slightly. “All right.”

Wu Lao ordered his men to open a spacetime tunnel, and they all rushed into it.

…

Meanwhile, the Divine Sovereigns and Divine Emperors fighting Mu Niannian and the rest in the Guanxuan Academy retreated like a receding tide. They had received Ruler An’s orders to retreat, and they didn’t hesitate to carry it out.

It was virtually impossible to kill Ye Guan because An Nanjing was protecting him, so Ruler An had chosen to retreat.

Lu Tian was still alive, and he was extremely indignant. It’s over?

“Let’s go,” said Divine Sovereign Taihe.

Lu Tian’s expression was gloomy.

Divine Sovereign Taihe calmly explained, “We’ve Ye Guan’s backers. More and more people are turning up to support him, so we have no choice but to retreat in the meantime.”

“I will not accept this outcome!” Lu Tian roared.

Divine Sovereign Taihe frowned, slightly displeased. Why was this Lu Tian feeling so indignant when he couldn’t even beat Ye Guan in a one-on-one?

Lu Tian noticed Divine Sovereign Taihe’s displeasure, and he hurriedly said, “Fine, let’s go.”

He definitely couldn’t stay any longer at the Guanxuan Academy. His only path of survival was to go to the True World!

Divine Sovereign Taihe nodded slightly. He quietly turned around to leave. However, a terrifying aura fleeted across the skies and went straight for Lu Tian.

The terrifying aura belonged to none other than the Head Military Official!

Divine Sovereign Taihe frowned slightly. He raised his right hand to suppress the Head Military Official.

Rumble!

The Head Military Official was instantly suppressed, but he glared quietly at Lu Tian.

“Head Military Official,” Lu Tian said, “You no longer have a place in the Guanxuan Academy. Come to the True World with me!”

The Head Military Official’s glare turned murderous.

“You’re just a puppet of the True World! You’re no Chosen One!”

Lu Tian said indifferently, “I was once a member of that Daoist Sect, but I changed my mind and decided to join the True World.”

Lu Tian chuckled and continued. “Head Military Official, I’ve been to the True World. Believe me when I say that Guanxuan Universe will never be able to defeat the True World. Even the invincible Sword Master couldn’t destroy the True World.”

The Head Military Official chuckled. “Lu Tian, oh, Lu Tian. Do you know how foolish you are?”

Lu Tian frowned and asked, “What do you mean?”

The Head Military Official stared intently at Lu Tian and asked, “Do you seriously think that the Divine Spirits in the True World will take you seriously after you’ve betrayed your own universe? Fat chance. They’ll only treat you like a lapdog because everyone absolutely abhors traitors like you!”

Lu Tian’s expression turned gloomy, and murderous intent fleeted across his eyes.

The Head Military Official stared at Lu Tian as if he was pitiful and said, “You’re more inferior to Ye Guan than I thought.”

Lu Tian chuckled in amusement and asked, “Do you really think that he’ll let you off just because you’re licking his boots?”

The Head Military Official turned his head to look at the Guanxuan Academy, which was now in shambles. He fell into a daze, and when he recovered, only regret could be seen in his eyes.

He just wanted to make the Guanxuan Academy a better place!

Well, he wanted to satisfy his own interests as well, but he had never thought of betraying the Guanxuan Academy or the Guanxuan Universe!

The Guanxuan Academy had taught him everything he needed to become a powerhouse, and he had even fought Divine Spirits with his junior and senior brothers. Unfortunately, most of his fellow disciples had perished long ago.

He had supported Lu Tian because he was the Chosen One of this generation. He was hoping that Lu Tian would eventually lead the Guanxuan Academy against the True World and emerge victorious.

However, the heavens had played a huge joke on him. He had inadvertently pledged allegiance to the True World.

“Puhahaha!” The Head Military Official cackled maniacally.

“What is the hesitation for, Head Military Official?” Lu Tian asked, “You will be highly respected even in the True World, considering your knowledge, wisdom, and prowess. If you stay here, you’re just going to die. Ye Guan will never let you—”

“Shut up!” the Head Military Official roared, “You’re just a lackey of the Divine Spirits. No one will stop you from becoming their lapdog, but I will never become the Divine Spirits’ lapdog!”

The Head Military Official clenched his fists.

Boom!

A powerful energy burst out of the Head Military Official.

He had chosen to self-destruct!

Everyone was shocked and in utter disbelief! No one thought that the Head Military Official would choose to self-destruct.

Lu Tian was clearly taken aback as well. His expression changed, and he frantically retreated.

A wave of powerful energy swept across the entire Main Guanxuan Academy, shattering Divine Sovereign Taihe’s protective layer of profound energy.

Just as Lu Tian was about to get swept away by the powerful explosion, Divine Sovereign Taihe punched out.

Bam!

The powerful energy vanished. The Head Military Official was no more.

Lu Tian grimaced, and he sneered, “You could have lived, but you chose to die. How foolish.”

Divine Sovereign Taihe glanced sideways at Lu Tian and said, “Let’s go!”

Lu Tian was still useful, so he had to stay alive for now.

Lu Tian nodded. He looked around the Main Guanxuan Academy, and a cold glint fleeted across his eyes as he declared, “Ye Guan! I will rip your head off your shoulders one day!”

With that, he turned around to leave.

“Wait!” Mu Niannian suddenly called out to him.

Lu Tian frowned and looked at her.

Swoosh!

Mu Niannian abruptly vanished.

Lu Tian’s expression immediately changed.

Divine Sovereign Taihe frowned. He wanted to make a move, but Tianxiu suddenly appeared in front of him.

Divine Sovereign Taihe’s expression darkened. He had ordered everyone to retreat, so the powerful Divine Spirits had already returned to the True World. In other words, he was currently alone with Lu Tian.

A sword made a beeline for Lu Tian’s forehead!

“Save me!” Lu Tian cried out in shock and fear, “Save me!”

“You fool!” Divine Sovereign Taihe couldn’t stop himself from scolding Lu Tian. I told you that we’re leaving, but you actually took time to talk shit! Did your mother drop you on your head while you were still a baby?

Divine Sovereign Taihe decisively abandoned Lu Tian. He turned around and vanished into a spacetime tunnel.

Lu Tian despaired.

Mu Niannian stared at Lu Tian.

Lu Tian was about to say something when Mu Niannian slashed out, sending Lu Tian’s head flying at least a hundred meters away.

Mu Niannian calmly said, “My younger brother once told me that to get rid of the weeds, you must pull them out by the roots. I think it makes perfect sense.”

Mu Niannian then turned to look at Tianxiu and the rest.

“Is it over?” asked Tianxiu.

Mu Niannian shook her head.

A look of bewilderment flashed across Tianxiu’s eyes.

Mu Niannian explained, “The True World already knows Ye Guan’s existence. Even though Ruler An has decided to retreat, the True World will definitely not let Ye Guan go that easily. They’ll definitely do their best to stop him from growing even stronger.”

Tianxiu was silent.

Mu Niannian looked up before continuing. “And that is why we must protect Ye Guan and help him ascend to the throne so that he’ll obtain three thousand strands of Great Dao Destiny.

”The True World will not let him ascend that easily, as the Great Daoist Brush Master once prophesied that Little Xuan’s descendant would finally end the war between the two universes at the Xuzhen World…”

Tianxiu looked at Mu Niannian and asked, “Can he really destroy the True World?”

Mu Niannian had invaded the True World together with the Sword Master, so she had to be well aware of the True World’s true capabilities.

Little Xuan’s Mad Demon Bloodline mutated during that fateful battle. The Qingxuan Sword and Little Pagoda sustained heavy injuries in the process. The Qingxuan Sword, in particular, went dormant after that fateful day.

Can Little Guan truly destroy the True World? Mu Niannian’s mind was full of complicated thoughts. The True World was full of monstrous talents, and that True God was a force to be reckoned with.
