I Have A Sword

Chapter 483: Extremely Powerful

What nonsense! Ye Guan's face darkened. He was about to speak when Ye Nanqing returned the tiny pagoda to him.

Ye Guan was confused. "What?"

Ye Nanqing shook her head and said, "Your pagoda is too precious, and you shouldn't hand it over to others so easily."

Ye Guan asked, "Are you not going to cultivate using it?"

"No."

"Why not?" Ye Guan asked.

Ye Nanqing calmly replied, "I don't want to take advantage of you."

The tiny pagoda was extremely attractive to her, but she had a bottom line. Accepting Ye Guan's offer meant that she would go down that bottom line, and she wasn't willing to do that.

Ye Guan glanced at Ye Nanqing before asking, "You're not just a Time Immortal, right?"

Ye Nanqing was about to speak when a violent tremor ran through the Time River. Soon, a powerful wave of energy swept toward Ye Nanqing and Ye Guan.

"We have to leave," Ye Guan said, growing solemn at the sight. Then, he pulled Ye Nanqing away from the Time River. He didn't want to get surrounded by his enemies, so he wanted to leave. Unfortunately, a mysterious power had sealed the nearby spacetime, preventing them from leaving.

Ye Guan opened his palm, and Xuanyuan appeared in his hand.

Ye Guan had no choice but to fight.

Just then, more than a dozen individuals appeared in the distance. They were all Time Reversers, and the one leading them was Yue Chen. A familiar young man in white stood next to Yue Chen.

The young man in white glared menacingly at Ye Guan.

Yue Chen looked at Ye Guan and chuckled. "If you had stayed in the Eternal Night Empire, I wouldn't have been able to do anything to you for the time being. However, it truly is a pleasant surprise that you came here yourself. Excellent! You just saved me a lot of trouble."

Ye Guan shouted, "One-on-one!"

"Sure," Yue Chen said calmly. Then, his lips curled up into a smile. "We will fight you one-on-one."

This unscrupulous bastard! Ye Guan's face darkened.

Yue Chen didn't bother talking as he turned into a beam of light that rushed toward Ye Guan and Ye Nanqing.

Ye Guan assumed a stance and was about to attack when Ye Nanqing waved her sleeve.

Boom!

A deafening explosion echoed as Yue Chen was flung backward several hundred meters away.

The sight stunned everyone, including Ye Guan.

Ye Guan stared at Ye Nanqing in disbelief. He was aware that Ye Nanqing had been hiding her true power, but he didn't expect that she was this strong.

Ye Nanqing remained expressionless as she calmly said, "I brought you here myself, so I'm going to bring you back myself."

Ye Guan hesitated before saying, "Okay"

There was no use pretending like he was strong; he truly couldn't defeat dozens of powerful supreme elites.

"Let's go!" Ye Nanqing turned around and pulled Ye Guan away.

"We made a mistake" Yue Chen muttered while staring at Ye Nanqing in the distance.

Ye Nanqing's strength had truly caught him off guard.

Ye Nanqing glanced at Yue Chen without saying anything. Then, she continued to pull Ye Guan away from the Time River.

Seeing that, Yue Chen hurriedly shouted, "Kill them!"

Yue Chen turned into a beam of light that charged at Ye Guan.

Ye Nanqing frowned slightly, and a sinister light flashed in her eyes. She turned around and waved her sleeve, sending a nine-colored ray of light.

Boom!

Yue Chen and the others were struck by the nine-colored ray of light.

Those at the very front were immediately reduced to ashes.

The nine-colored ray of light's energy was so strong that it made the Time River pulsate.

Ye Guan cast an incredulous gaze at Ye Nanqing. She's this strong?

Yue Chen was in disbelief as well. His mouth fluttered open to speak, but Ye Nanqing stretched her fair hand and made a grasping motion.

Rumble!

An invisible hand grabbed Yue Chen by the neck.

Yue Chen's pupils contracted in horror as he muttered, "You"

Ye Nanqing clenched her right hand.

Boom!

Yue Chen was instantly reduced to ashes that soon disappeared into nothingness. The remaining Time Reversers were so horrified by the sight that they hurriedly retreated. Ye Nanqing didn't bother chasing after them as she grabbed Ye Guan and vanished.

Ye Guan and Ye Nanqing soon found themselves in their room; they sat facing each other.

Ye Nanqing looked at Ye Guan and asked, "How long are you planning on staring at me?"

"Lady Nanqing, I didn't expect you to be so strong," Ye Guan said, smiling wryly.

Ye Nanqing took a sip of her tea without saying anything.

Ye Guan chuckled bitterly and said, "I told you that I'd help you become even stronger. It really is embarrassing"

"I didn't tell you my true strength because you never asked me about it," Ye Nanqing explained.

Ye Guan's mouth twitched. You really do know how to twist words, don't you? You've made it appear that my ignorance of your true power is my fault.

"The Time Reversers are difficult to handle, and you can't handle them alone."

Ye Guan nodded. "The Great Daoist Brush Master went somewhere for backup."

The Great Daoist Brush Master. Ye Nanqing frowned.

Seeing her expression, Ye Guan asked, "Do you have something against the Great Daoist Brush Master?"

Ye Nanqing stared at Y Guan without saying anything.

Ye Guan frowned as he pondered over it. Then, he emerged from her contemplation upon recalling something and said, "The Great Daoist Brush Master wanted me to have an alliance marriage with the Eternal Night Empire, but his real goal is not the Eternal Night Empire but you he wants to tie me up with you! Am I right?"

Ye Nanqing took another sip of her tea without saying anything.

Ye Guan's face fell upon seeing Ye Nanqing's silent acknowledgment. Goodness, what a scheming old fogey

"He does not know that I have more or less recovered my memories. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to do something like this. Still, he should be punished, as if my memories hadn't returned, we would have" Ye Nanqing trailed off and stared at Ye Guan.

Ye Guan said in a deep voice, "He's trying to make use of the fact that your memories have yet to return. He wants me to turn the tides with your help, is that it?"

Ye Nanqing nodded.

Ye Guan chuckled bitterly. What a slimy old fogey...

"The Time Reversers aren't going to let us go. What are you going to do?"

"Fight," Ye Guan answered placidly.

Ye Nanqing wordlessly nodded slightly.

"Lady Nanqing, you mentioned something about recovering your memories. Are you someone who has reincarnated?"

Ye Nanqing nodded.

Ye Guan was curious. "Which era are you from?"

Ye Guan could still remember the extreme fear that marred Yue Chen's face before he died. Ye Guan reckoned that Yue Chen had discovered Ye Nanqing's identity. There was a lot more to Ye Nanqing than met the eyes.

At Ye Guan's question, Ye Nanqing merely stared at the former.

Ye Guan didn't press on. He shook his head with a smile and said, "I really had no idea about his true intentions, and if I had known"

Ye Guan stopped mid-sentence.

"If you had known, what would you have done?" Ye Nanqing urged.

Ye Guan said solemnly, "I wouldn't have allowed all this to happen. Still, he has decided to scheme for my sake, so in the end, everything is because of me."

Ye Guan didn't nurse a grudge against the Great Daoist Brush Master.

After all, the Great Daoist Brush Master was helping him. However, he couldn't let something like this happen again. If the two of them wanted to work with each other for a long time, they had to stop scheming against each other.

Ye Nanqing said, "I know a bit about the Universe Tribulation. What you did with the True God is undoubtedly against the norm. The Universe Tribulation's eruption is definitely going to be devastating, and most importantly, you need"

"Yes, I know." Ye Guan nodded. "I need time."

"Time?"

"The myriad beings will perish with the vast expanse once the Universe Tribulation erupts, but the Time Reversers and the Evil Dao will survive," Ye Guan replied.

"You're strong enough to survive the Universe Tribulation, so you really don't have to stop it from erupting," Ye Nanqing said, seemingly trying to persuade Ye Guan.

Ye Guan knew that Ye Nanqing had good intentions toward him and smiled. "Lady Nanqing, I know what you're trying to say. However, if Sister Zhen and I do not stop the Universe Tribulation, the myriad beings of the True Universe and the Guanxuan Universe will perish.

"Honestly, I am no saint, but I am the King of the Guanxuan Universe. I have a duty to protect my people."

Ye Nanqing stared deeply at Ye Guan and asked, "If you can let them go, you'll become even stronger. I can sense that you have many obsessions and baggage clinging to you. They're not good for your Sword Dao."

Ye Guan asked, "Do you want me to become divine?"

Ye Nanqing nodded.

"That's a very desolate and lonely path," Ye Guan said, "I prefer humanity."

Ye Nanqing said, "Do you know why those Time Reversers want to kill you?"

Ye Nanqing didn't wait for Ye Guan's reply as she said, "It's because they are at the end of their lives. The order of the True God is helping the Virtuous Dao suppress the myriad beings.

"Everyone will eventually return to the soil unless they go beyond the Great Dao. The reason they became Time Reversers is that they're not strong enough to surpass the Great Dao."

Ye Nanqing shook her head and added, "Do you know what's the scariest experience that one will eventually face? It's not death. It's knowing that you're about to die. Mortals can live carefree lives, as they have no idea when they're going to die.

"However, what if you know exactly when you're going to die? You'd become desperate to extend that deadline."

Ye Guan went silent.

Ye Nanqing continued, "Moreover, they're not exactly trying to achieve the impossible here. They can see hope, but the True God's order is stomping on their hopes. You're an ally of the True God, so it is not strange that they want to tear you to pieces and gnaw on your bones."

Ye Guan suddenly asked, "Nanqing, can you help me?"

Ye Nanqing was surprisedextremely surprised. She initially believed that Ye Guan was the type of person who wouldn't ask such a favor, as it was an incredibly difficult favor to ask for in the first place.

In addition, Ye Guan would rather trouble himself than trouble others.

Their marriage was just a sham, too, but Ye Guan still decided to ask her for help.

Ye Nanqing went silent, not knowing how to respond.

Should I reject him? Ye Nanqing mulled over it, but when she clapped her eyes on Ye Guan's sincere gaze full of anticipation, she couldn't bring herself to reject him.
