I Have A Sword

Chapter 633: Father, Can I Borrow Your Sword?

The sudden act of violence from Ye Guan left everyone in the area stunned. Nobody had anticipated his willingness to kill, especially not the Lady Boss of the Black Shop. The three Gods watched Ye Guan with displeasure at first, but their expressions quickly turned into smirks. Ye Guan's actions here would only benefit them in the end.

Wang Shu, on the other hand, felt a chill run down his spine. He hadn't expected Ye Guan to act so boldly. This was beyond ruthless.

Silently, Ye Guan pocketed the lady’s storage ring, finding not only an Ancestral Vein inside but also a trove of precious divine treasures. Unfortunately, the Ancestral Vein was not as large as the one that the First God had left him.

This lady was wealthy.

Ye Guan's decision wasn't reckless. He knew that she had received favors from the three Gods and targeted him in return. Reasoning with her would have been futile. Hence, he acted decisively.

Even in death, her eyes remained wide open, clearly not expecting that Ye Guan could kill her so easily. She couldn’t help but feel unjust about her death.

Just as Ye Guan was about to move toward the three Gods, four figures suddenly approached him. They were dressed in armor and had a sword and an iron chain in their hands.

Wang Shu's expression darkened. "Those are Dao Soldiers. They're responsible for maintaining order in the Dao Market."

Ye Guan was surprised. The Dao Soldiers were all Ancient Sovereigns with considerable cultivation.

The three Gods mocked him with their expressions. Doing anything rash here would only lead to trouble, so they didn't think Ye Guan would behave so boldly. The reason they approached the Lady Boss in the first place was that they were reluctant to break this place's rules.

As the men approached, their leader asked, "Are you coming with us willingly or do we have to use force?"

Ye Guan nodded. "I'll come with you."

The Dao Soldiers nodded, then departed. Ye Guan glanced at Ao Qianqian, who nodded in return before disappearing into the little pagoda. Then, he turned to Wang Shu.

"Until we meet again, Brother Wang."

He followed the Dao Soldiers into the distance.

Wang Shu sighed softly. Ye Guan’s life would be unbearable once he entered the Dao Prison. Ye Guan was too impulsive, but Wang Shu found solace in the fact that such impulsive behavior was typical among swordsmen.

"Let's go," Mo'e said. The two Gods followed suit.

...

Ye Guan found himself led by four Dao Soldiers to a dimly lit hall.

"Get in there and await judgment," one of them said.

Handing out ten Ancestral Origin strands to the Dao Soldier, Ye Guan asked, "Brother, what's with the judgment? Can you shed some light?"

The Dao Soldier glanced at the strands and pocketed them. "Anyone breaking the law in the Dao Market faces judgment. It will personally be handed down by the Judicial Sovereign."

"What's the usual punishment for someone like me?"

"Your fleshy body is destroyed and your soul imprisoned."

Ye Guan fell silent.

"Do you know who you killed?"

Ye Guan shook his head, confessing ignorance.

The Dao Soldier sighed. "The person you killed was from the Qi Family. Heard of them?"

He shook his head once more.

"If you know nothing, why kill?"

"Strike first, ask later."

"Ballsy move, but you've stirred up the wrong hornet's nest. The Qi Family ranks top five across the universes. Now that you've killed one of them, they won't let you off." The Dao Soldier then frowned. "Well, there's no need for a trial anymore."

When Ye Guan glanced at him, he added, "I just got word that the Qi Family's en route. When they arrive, we'll hand you over. They'll deal with you."

"What other big shots are out there in the Dao Market? Any Yang Family?" Ye Guan queried out of curiosity.

The Dao Soldier's brows furrowed. "Yang Family?"

Ye Guan nodded.

After a moment's thought, the Dao Soldier shook his head. "No."

Ye Guan fell silent.

Grandfather and Father sure keep a low profile!

Pointing to the dark hall ahead, the Dao Soldier said, "In you go."

Ye Guan nodded and entered. Inside were a hunched elderly man and a lady in white, eyes shut as if oblivious to his presence. The elderly man was huddled in a corner and staring at him.

Surveying the eerie symbols on the walls, Ye Guan noticed a mysterious force coming from them. He attempted to activate his profound energy, but a barrage of black streaks of light emerged from the symbols.

Boom!

Ye Guan found himself stunned.

As he gradually recovered, the elderly man sneered, "You're asking for trouble."

Standing up, Ye Guan glanced at the lady and elderly man. He sat down nearby and closed his eyes.

This place was no ordinary place, and the seals were much stronger than the First God Paradise. Breaking these seals was practically impossible not just because of the First god’s seal but also many other elites’.

Unless... I borrow a sword from my father or aunt. Grandfather's sword would work too.... Alright, if need be, I’ll borrow a sword and take out those three Gods.

Just then, the elderly man in the corner asked, "What did you do?"

Ye Guan cast a glance at the elderly man. "Murder."

"You committed murder in the Dao Market?"

Ye Guan nodded.

The elderly man sarcastically raised his thumb. "You've got guts. Even if you survive, you'll spend your days behind bars."

"What did you do?"

"I was caught stealing."

"How long's your sentence?"

"Been in here for over three hundred years."

"Why haven't you escaped?" Ye Guan blurted.

The elderly man fixed a somewhat displeased stare at him. "If escaping were an option, would I still be here?"

A sheepish smile played on Ye Guan's lips. "Fair point..."

"Whom did you kill?"

"The Lady Boss of the Black Shop."

The elderly man's eyes widened in shock. "What?! You took down the Lady Boss?"

In the center of the hall, the lady in white stirred, casting a glance at Ye Guan.

“Yes."

"Tsk tsk! Bold move, taking out that lady."

"Do you know her too?"

A chuckle escaped the elderly man. "Who in the Dao Market doesn't know that ruthless lady? She's swindled countless folks. Unfortunately, with the Qi Family backing her up, no one dared touch her. Never thought she'd meet her end at your hands. It was not just karma but destiny for her to be murdered."

He then turned to Ye Guan. "Ever heard of the Qi Family?"

Ye Guan shook his head.

"Ah, I see..."

As Ye Guan shot the elderly man a questioning look, the elderly man added, "Do you know how formidable the Qi Family is?"

"Not a clue."

A grin spread across the elderly man's face. "The Qi Family boasts legendary Primordial Spirit..."

"What exactly is a Primordial Spirit?"

Finally, the lady in white chimed in. "A Primordial Spirit Master is someone who has entered the Divine Dao Realm, possessing at least thirty percent pure divinity to earn the title."

"Ah, I see."

Are the three divine beings outside also in the Divine Dao Realm? How pure are their divinities anyway?

Ye Guan rose to his feet and strode toward the door of the main hall.

I can't just sit around waiting for death. I have to escape.

Observing Ye Guan's movements, the elderly man sneered, "You won't make it out. This seal was laid by numerous Divine Dao Realm elites with over fifty percent divinity. You can't break it."

Ye Guan uttered a prayer in his heart. "Father, lend me your sword."

Buzz!

A resounding hum filled the air as a sword descended from the heavens, materializing in Ye Guan's grasp.

Qingxuan Sword!

The elderly man's expression abruptly shifted. "You..."

The lady in white swiftly approached Ye Guan. "Do you need a hand?"

Ye Guan shook his head. "No, thank you."

With determination, he thrust his sword forward.

Boom!

The invisible barrier.

Ye Guan immediately strode out. The lady in white gripped his arm as they fled.

As they departed, the barrier returned to its former state.

The elderly man rushed to the door. "Young man, wait!"

Ignoring the elderly man's plea, Ye Guan scanned his surroundings and quickly located the three Gods. He then hopped onto his sword and soared into the sky, heading straight for them.

With the Qingxuan Sword in hand, the seals were rendered powerless against him. However, just as Ye Guan approached the three Gods, the sword slipped from his grasp.
