I Have A Sword-Chapter 521: A Wanderer

Swearing on his father’s name? The Heavenly Yuan Sovereign’s face fell. “Does your father know that you’re taking his name lightly? By swearing on his name just like that?”

Before Ye Guan could respond, Ye Qingqing slapped him on the head. “Are you not afraid of getting beaten up by your father?” novelbuddy.c om

Ye Guan could only laugh sheepishly and look at the Primordial Turtle Ancestor, saying, “Senior, I'm sorry, but I’ll have to trouble you.”

The Primordial Turtle Ancestor fell silent, but he really wanted to kill the Great Daoist Brush Master! What he thought would be a simple matter ended up involving the Past Clan and the Ancient Clan. Things would become catastrophic for him if he were to get involved. freewebn(o)vel.com

However, he'd end up going back on his word to the Great Daoist Brush Master, and he had to admit that he was quite afraid of the Great Daoist Brush Master as well.

Should I help or not? The Primordial Turtle Ancestor contemplated for a few moments before he turned to Ye Guan and said, “I’m sorry, but I can’t help you.”

In the end, he chose not to help Ye Guan, as the price that he would have to pay for doing so would be too high. He was genuinely afraid of the Past Clan’s Clan Leader.

Ye Guan wasn't surprised. He smiled faintly and turned toward Ye Qingqing. “Aunt, let’s fight our way out.”

Ye Qingqing nodded. “Alright!”

The two wasted no time and took to the sky on their swords.

It was time for another battle!

“My Ancient Clan will deal with that woman. The rest of you should go ahead and kill Ye Guan!” Guzhen roared with narrowed eyes. Then, he flew to the sky as well and rushed at Ye Qingqing with the Ancient Clan's supreme elites following closely behind him.

Meanwhile, the Heavenly Yuan Sovereign and the Time Reversers charged at Ye Guan.

A massive fight was about to commence!

Ye Guan made a beeline for the Heavenly Yuan Sovereign and the Time Reversers.

Ao Qianqian instantly merged with Ye Guan, and the latter's aura surged crazily.

The faces of the Heavenly Yuan Sovereign and the Time Reversers immediately changed, and none of them dared to be reckless. This wasn't their first time fighting against Ye Guan, and they had learned not to underestimate the latter, as he was both strong and cunning.

Boom!

A sudden burst of sword light erupted, and the realm down below became illusory.

The Primordial Turtle Ancestor watched silently as Ye Guan quickly found himself under suppression

Help him? There’s no reason for me to help him. The Primordial Turtle Ancestor mulled. It was simply not worth it to provoke countless Time Reversers and the Past Clan for the sake of a promise that he had made a long time ago.

In the end, the turtle retreated and returned to the depths of the underwater abyss.

...

Somewhere among the clouds, a man was sitting in front of a chessboard. The man was none other than the Great Daoist Brush Master. A white-robed woman was sitting across from him, and she was none other than the Past Clan’s Clan Leader.

The Great Daoist Brush Master's pieces were black, while the white-robed woman's chess pieces were white.

The white-robed woman picked up a white piece and placed it on the board before saying, “I told you before that the turtle wouldn't dare to do anything.”

The Great Daoist Brush Master glanced at her and said, “There are two possible reasons why: either he's afraid of you, or he found the offer to be insufficient."

The white-robed woman nodded.

The Great Daoist Brush Master scoffed, “That foolish creature only thinks about the short-term benefits. It doesn't care about the long-term benefits at all."

The white-robed woman said, “You’re different from us. You're an advocate for the Great Dao, so you can foresee the future. Isn't that the reason you've been so steadfast in your objectives?"

"How about you?" the Great Daoist Brush Master asked, chucking lightly. “Do you not care about the future at all?”

The white-robed woman shook her head. “No, but I’m curious.”

“Since you’re curious, why not explore the future yourself?”

“Are you trying to provoke me?” asked the white-robed woman.

The Great Daoist Brush Master’s expression froze.

The white-robed woman looked at him blandly and said, “It's your move.”

The Great Daoist Brush Master stared quietly at the chessboard. Then, he said, “The vast expanse truly needs an order.”

“It's going to be fine without one,” said the white-robed woman.

"Wouldn't the vast expanse become quite dull without a diverse array of cultivators?"

“Dull is good.”

The Great Daoist Brush Master fell silent.

The white-robed woman glanced at the chessboard before standing up and looking up at the distant sea of clouds. "Regardless of whether the Dao is virtuous or not, is there really any point in keeping her alive?”

“No one is infallible, and it applies to the Great Dao as well.”

“Then, she should be wary not to make any mistakes in her next life,” replied the white-robed woman.

The Great Daoist Brush Master sighed.

“I know you still have a trick up your sleeve. Go ahead and use it,” the white-robed woman said. Then, she flew away and disappeared.

Just then, a man appeared next to the chessboard, and he was none other than the Boundless Master.

“What do we do with the Primordial Turtle Ancestor?” asked the Boundless Master.

The Great Daoist Brush Master calmly replied, “Back then, that turtle committed a myriad of evil deeds. I let him off the hook in exchange for a favor. I spared him from suffering the bad karma of his actions.

"However, he actually refuses to abide by his words. In other words, there’s no need for me to keep him alive."

“They've been surrounded,” the Boundless Master said.

The Great Daoist Brush Master stared at the distant horizon and said, “For his sake, please help me once again, lady.”

A woman stood quietly in the distance.

...

Ye Guan fought while retreating nonstop. Although his strength had improved considerably, he was still no match for his opponents. He was facing five Sovereigns and countless Time Reversers. If it hadn't been for Ye Qingqing assisting him from the side, he would have succumbed to their attacks long ago.

Boom!

Rays of sword light were shattered, and Ye Guan flew tens of thousands of meters away. Just as he came to a halt, a colossal fist imprint descended toward him, and it was followed closely by dozens of Time Reversers.

Ye Guan’s figure became illusory just then.

The Heavenly Yuan Sovereign’s eyes narrowed, knowing that Ye Guan was about to unleash a devastating attack. The Time Reversers reacted the same, and they instantly came to a screeching halt.

Once Ye Guan's figure became illusory, someone would die in the following attack!

A kaleidoscope of sword lights erupted from Ye Guan, and he slashed out. The sword lights converged at one point during his slash—Four Heavenrend with Max Stacks each and compressed into four Space Overlaps!

The nearby spacetime imploded at once, and the mighty sword energy swept across everyone, forcing them to retreat nonstop.

Ye Guan took advantage of that respite to blink next to Ye Qingqing. Ye Guan's figure then vanished into the tiny pagoda. Ye Qingqing grabbed the tiny pagoda and put it away before disappearing into a streak of sword light.

There were simply too many opponents for them to defeat, so they had no choice but to flee!

If one could beat one's opponents, then fight; Otherwise, flee!

"Where do you think you’re going?!” Guzhen roared. Then, he transformed into a beam of multicolored light that rushed toward Ye Qingqing.

Ye Qingqin abruptly stopped just then and slashed out with all her might.

Guzhen’s face changed drastically at the oncoming sword wave.

Bam!

Guzhen swung his fist, but his fist imprint shattered as soon as it made contact with the sword wave. Guzhen himself was blasted away upon impact.

However, Ye Qingqing didn't chase after Guzhen. Instead, she transformed into a streak of sword light that entered the Time River.

“Chase them!” Guzhen bellowed.

Ye Qingqing flew against the flow of the Time River, and she had no difficulties whatsoever, as she had an exceedingly high cultivation base. Her Sword Travel was way quicker than Ye Guan’s Sword Travel, so Guzhen and the Time Reversers couldn't immediately catch up to her.

When Ye Guan and Ye Qingqing vanished into the Time River, the Primordial Turtle Ancestor immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Those troublemakers are finally gone!

He was the legendary Primordial Turtle Ancestor, and he could be said to have the longest lifespan among demonic beasts. Therefore, he wasn’t too concerned about his own lifespan at all. Thus, he'd rather break his word to the Great Daoist Brush Master than jump into the muddy waters of their conflict.

How about the Great Daoist Brush Master? He wasn't worried about the Great Daoist Brush Master at all. In his eyes, the Great Daoist Brush Master was like a wanderer who was a jack of all trades, master of none. He wasn't afraid of the Great Daoist Brush Master at all even if worse came to worst.

The Primordial Turtle Ancestor chuckled and went back to sleep.

...

Ye Qingqing and Ye Guan traveled against the flow of the Time River, going back about a hundred years in time. Guzhen and the Time Reversers didn't give up and pursued them relentlessly.

Of course, Guzhen was not going to give up. The Dark Dragons of the Ancient Clans were in Ye Guan’s hands, and the strength of the Ancient Clan would plummet without those Dark Dragons. Guzhen was also worried that those Dark Dragons would either be killed or submit to Ye Guan.

Actually, Guzhen had another motive as well. The Clan Leader of the Past Clan had increased the reward stated in the Time Arrest Warrant to five strands of Ancestral Origin!

The reward was so generous that no one could resist it, which was why the Heavenly Yuan Sovereign and the other Sovereigns had decided to go all out.

Of course, they also wanted to see a world without any order, but it was a long-term goal that was too far from their arms at the moment. Meanwhile, the strands of Ancestral Origin were right in front of them. They just had to kill Ye Guan, and those strands of Ancestral Origin would become theirs.

Five strands of Ancestral Origin were enough to increase their lifespan by thousands of years, and they would have hope in transcending the Great Dao with so much time in their hands.

The chance was extremely low, but it was there nonetheless. Their ultimate goals were to transcend the Great Dao, become invincible, and become immortal. More and more Time Reversers were tempted out of their hiding spots, and some of them were powerful Sovereigns in the Time List.

Meanwhile, Ye Guan was standing before the group of Dark Dragons inside the tiny pagoda. Unbeknownst to Guzhen, the Dark Dragons had already submitted to Ao Qianqian.

Ao Qianqian swept her gaze across the dragons before saying, “They've sworn loyalty to me, and they're ready to participate in battle.”

Ye Guan nodded slightly. “Great.”

“When would you like them to fight?” Ao Qianqian asked.

“There’s no hurry. Let them train here for now; they'll fight at the right time.”

“Alright,” Ao Qianqian said, nodding.

Just then, Ye Qingqing’s voice echoed from outside.

“Someone wants to meet you.”

Ye Guan frowned. Someone wants to meet with me? Who?
