I Have A Sword

Chapter 250: Go Home!

The previous clan leader of the Sky Department World’s Han Clan was dead, and Han Zong replaced him to become the clan leader. Han Zong had the Unyielding Bones, so no one was worthy to become the clan leader aside from him.

The elite clan members of the Han Clan were gathered in a hall. They all wore ashen looks because they could tell what Han Zong was thinking.

A woman with similar features to Han Zong stood next to Han Zong. She was very pretty and demure, which was a stark contrast to Han Zong. She was Han Zong’s sister, Han An.

Han Zong glanced at the crowd and said, “I received news that the younger generation of the True Universe has declared war on the Guanxuan Universe.”

All eyes were fixed on Han Zong, but everyone was silent. No one was in a good mood, as they knew what Han Zong would say next.

As expected, Han Zong said, “I want… I want to support the Guanxuan Universe.”

Support the Guanxuan Universe! Everyone’s expression turned solemn.

Just then, one of the elders of the clan stepped forward and cried out, “Clan Leader, we can’t do that!”

The rest of the elders nodded in agreement.

Han Zong gazed calmly at them and asked, “Why not?”

The elder’s voice deepened as he explained, “Clan Leader, the Guanxuan Universe’s enemy is the True Universe, and the younger generation of the Guanxuan Universe is no match for the True Universe’s younger generation.

”Our clan’s help is like a bucket of water into a prairie fire. Our standing has always been neutral as well, and I don’t think we should offend the True Universe by supporting the Guanxuan Universe.”

The rest of the elders nodded in agreement again.

Han Zong retorted, “We have to send tributes to the True Universe every year!”

The elder hesitated slightly before saying, “We can still handle the tributes, but I don’t think we can handle the fury of the True Universe if we were to support the Guanxuan Universe. Next time, they’ll demand not just spiritual cores but our lives as tributes.”

The rest of the elders nodded furiously.

The Han Clan was not in the Guanxuan Universe, and they did not have an outstanding elite like the Sword Master, so how could they possibly fight the True Universe?

The True Universe would beat them to death, and stubborn people would always bleed first, so they couldn’t afford to remain stubborn.

Han Zong was silent before saying, “The Young Master of the Guanxuan Universe is Ye Guan, and I’ve acknowledged him as my big brother.”

The rest of the elders were hesitant, and they looked at the Second Elder sheepishly. The Second Elder had already become the Grand Elder. Grass was already growing on the grave of the previous Grand Elder.

The Grand Elder pondered briefly. He was just about to persuade Han Zong again when a thought appeared in his mind. He looked at Han Zong and saw that Han Zong was also looking at him.

The Grand Elder’s heart beat wildly against his chest. He was suddenly reminded of the previous Grand Elder.

“Since Clan Leader has acknowledged Ye Guan as his big brother, it is only natural for us to help,” said the Grand Elder.

The elders in the hall were stunned. What is he doing?

Han Zong was also confused, but the Grand Elder wasn’t done just yet as he added, “The All Worlds know that Ye Guan is the big brother of our Clan Leader, so how could we ignore Ye Guan when he’s in trouble?”

”How would the rest of the clans in Sky Department World see our clan? What would the denizens of the All Worlds think of us? They’ll laugh at us for our cowardice. We’ll become a laughingstock for not supporting our brother!”

His voice boomed throughout the hall, but the elders were glaring at him. You traitor!

Han Zong smiled in glee. He was overjoyed to find that the new Grand Elder knew how to look at the bigger picture.

Seeing Han Zong’s smile, the Grand Elder heaved a sigh of relief. Thank goodness for his quick thinking. The previous Grand Elder had perished because he was foolish enough not to walk on the same path as Han Zong.

One had to play ball with the higher-ups to survive in a big clan. The Grand Elder was no exception to that rule, and he had to play ball with the clan leader.

The elders went silent upon learning of the Grand Elder’s attitude toward the matter.

None of them dared to speak. They had risen to their current positions on their own, and they were also aware of what Han Zong wanted. In the end, they could only sigh to themselves. Their clan leader was too loyal for his own good.

The clan leader of a big clan couldn’t be too loyal to anyone.

Han Zong suddenly said, “Elders, I know what you’re thinking, and your concerns are both valid and reasonable. However, the Grand Elder is right. Everyone already knows that I’ve acknowledged Ye Guan as my big brother.

”How would the All Worlds think of me if I do not offer my help when he is in need of help? What would the people think of our clan?”

Han Zong slowly stood up before continuing. “Of course, I still have to think of our clan’s future. With that in mind, I’ve decided that I’m going to be the only one who’s going to head over to the Guanxuan Universe.”

“No!” the Grand Elder exclaimed, “Clan Leader, it’s too dangerous for you to go alone—”

Han Zong shook his head and stated, “I’ve already made up my mind.”

Han An suddenly added, “If we’re going to help, the whole clan has to do it.”

Everyone turned toward Han An.

Han Zong also looked at his sister in surprise

Han An stood up and looked at Han Zong before calmly saying, “You’re already the Clan Leader of the Han Clan. You represent the entire clan, so the True Universe will definitely punish the entire Han Clan if you end up being defeated.

“In other words, our clan will still have to take responsibility regardless of whether you go there by yourself or if we go there with you. With that in mind, why don’t we just go all out and help them with all our might?”

Han Zong was silent.

Han An continued. “Pass down my orders: the members of our Han Clan’s younger generation who are courageous enough and willing to help the Guanxuan Universe against the True Universe should follow us.”

The elders exchanged looks of surprise.

Han An scanned the crowd coldly and said, “The True Universe is a leader because of their strength, but they’ve been treating the All Worlds like their slaves rather than their subordinate worlds.

“However, the Guanxuan Universe is the only one daring enough to oppose the True Universe. It is truly a shame that the All Worlds are filled with nothing but cowards. They bow down and beg the True Universe for their lives, and they don’t even dare to breathe too loudly before the True Universe. What a shame.”

Han An made a sidelong glance at Han Zong before saying, “Let’s go.”

After the orders had been given, the siblings stood up and left.

Their orders quickly spread throughout the entire clan. Soon, about a hundred talents from the Han Clan flew together with them to the Guanxuan Universe. The elders of the Han Clan joined them as well.

If the Guanxuan Universe won and the siblings returned safely, they would face punishment for their mutiny. Moreover, the elders were aware that the clan had to be united during moments like this.

It was normal for opinions to clash, but they couldn’t afford to have internal strife. Their weapons had to be aimed at their enemies rather than themselves. Soon, the elites of the Han Clan headed for the Guanxuan Universe.

In the spacetime tunnel, Han Zong looked at Han An and muttered, “Sister…”

Han An had an idea about what Han Zong was about to say, and she hurriedly interrupted. “Would you have agreed if I had asked you to stay?”

Han Zong shook his head.

Han An said, “Since that’s the case, I choose to support you with all my might.”

Han Zong grinned. “All right!”

Han An stared deeply at him and asked, “Do you understand the consequences?”

“Yes.” Han Zong nodded.

“Good.” Han An smiled. She was quiet for quite a while before stammering, “I-If we lose…”

Han Zong burst out laughing and said, “It’s just death.”

“Is your big brother truly worthy of such a sacrifice?” Han An asked.

“He protected me back then.” Han Zong smiled and said, “Now, it’s my turn to protect him. If we lose, I’m just going to die, that’s all.”

Han An went silent at that.

…

A middle-aged man glared at Lian Shuang and shouted, “No way!”

The middle-aged man was the Clan Leader of the Lian Clan—Lian Cheng.

Lian Shuang clenched his fists tightly until his palm went white.

“Father, you told me that we must be loyal. My friend is in trouble, so isn’t it natural for me to help him?” asked Lian Shuang.

“Do you even know their enemy? It’s the True Universe—the True Universe!”

Lian Shuang argued with a straight face, “So what? Brother Ye has been fighting the True Universe for a long time!”

“Your Brother Ye’s father is outstanding!” Lian Cheng shouted, “Do you really think that you have an outstanding father?”

Lian Shuang calmly replied, “I think you’re pretty outstanding, Father.”

Lian Cheng snorted and looked away. “I appreciate it.”

“Father, you told me that we have to be loyal. My friend is in trouble, and if I don’t do anything to help him, are we really friends? Don’t worry, I don’t want to drag down the entire clan with me, so I’m going to go there on my own.”

Lian Cheng stared deeply at Lian Shuang in silence.

Lian Shuang hesitated slightly before asking, “Father, do you agree?”

A complicated expression fleeted across Lian Cheng’s face, but he sounded serious as he explained, “We have to be loyal to our friends, but sometimes, you have to be powerful enough to remain loyal.

”You can’t even make it to the All Worlds List with your talent, so what can you even do there? You have to understand that the talents on the All Worlds List are nothing in front of the True Universe’s younger generation.”

Lang Shuang was silent. His father was right; he was no match for the talents of the True Universe. In fact, the All Worlds and the other universes were too weak against the True Universe.

Lian Cheng’s voice softened, and he said, “I understand what you’re thinking, but as I said, the battle there is between elites. You won’t be able to do anything even if you go there, aside from cheering them on from the sidelines, of course.”

“I know.” Lian Shuang nodded. He cast a determined gaze on Lian Cheng and said, “Can I just do that, then, Father? I won’t fight! Don’t worry, I know my own strength, and I won’t seek my own death.”

Lian Cheng was silent.

Lian Shuang added, “We’re friends, and even though I can’t fight for Brother Ye, I can still give him moral support from the sidelines. He’s in trouble, and if I don’t do anything to help him, how am I supposed to face him in the future?”

Lian Cheng remained silent. After a while, he nodded and said, “I will go with you.”

He obviously didn’t trust Lian Shuang enough. He had no faith that Lian Shuang wouldn’t go ahead and seek his own death. The realization made Lian Shuang smile bitterly before saying, “Okay.”

Lian Cheng nodded and said, “Pass down my orders: the elites of the Lian Clan who are at the Immortal Realm and above are to gather here as soon as possible.”

“Father!” Lian Shuang exclaimed, “What did you do?”

Lian Cheng chuckled and explained, “Won’t it be embarrassing if only the two of us went there to show our support?”

The True Universe was strong, but the Guanxuan Universe wasn’t weak.

In other words, it was worthy of a gamble of a lifetime. Lian Cheng had decided to take a look at the matter with the bigger picture in mind. Lian Shuang was friends with Ye Guan, but they weren’t close enough to give up their lives for each other.

However, Lian Cheng reckoned that everything would change once the Lian Clan went over to the Guanxuan Universe to support them.

Bootlickers were a dime a dozen while one was at the peak, but once one was at the bottom of the abyss, perhaps not even a handful of people would offer a helping hand.

The Lian Clan had decided to help the Guanxuan Universe while it was at the bottom of the abyss. The Guanxuan Universe didn’t have as many talents as the True Universe, but the Lian Clan would still profit from such a relationship.

If the Guanxuan Universe won, the Lian Clan would no longer have to pay any tributes to the True Universe anymore. The Lian Clan would also reach greater heights with the help of the Guanxuan Universe!

Let’s go for it!

Soon, a thousand elites of the Lian Clan made a beeline for the Guanxuan Universe.

…

In Zong World.

An old man was staring at Zong Shou in a hall somewhere in the Zong World.

“Are you sure you want to go?” asked the old man.

Zong Shou nodded. “Yes!”

The old man said, “The True Universe is too strong.”

Zong Shou stared into the old man’s eyes and said, “It’s fine if I can’t fight, but I have to be there.”

The old man was silent.

Zong Shou bowed deeply and said, “Grandfather, I’ll go there by myself. I won’t burden the clan with my own decision.”

With that, he turned around and started walking away.

“Wait!” exclaimed the old man.

Zong Shou turned around.

The old man stood up and shouted, “Men!”

Zong Shou’s expression changed. “Grandfather, you—”

“Pass down my orders!” the old man yelled, “Every elite above the Immortal Realm must come here as soon as possible!”

Zong Shou was stunned.

The old man explained, “If I could choose, I would choose the True Universe, but it is a shame that they look down on us. However, the Young Master of the Guanxuan Universe was willing to acknowledge you as his brother. Of course, our clan should support him. I can’t let you embarrass us there, so we’ll go with you. Let’s go.”

With that, the old man led Zong Shou and the rest of the Zong Clan’s elites to the Guanxuan Universe.

...

The war between the True Universe and the Guanxuan Universe spread like wildfire throughout the All Worlds. The members of the Guanxuan Universe’s younger generation traveling the distant reaches of the vast expanse were furious upon hearing the news.

“Goodness! How dare the True Universe! Let’s go home!”

“A war? Do they really think that we’re afraid of them?! Let’s go home! Fuck them!”

“Obliterate the True Universe!”

“Let’s go home!”
