Chapter 896: Not Even His Grandfather
Swoosh!
When Wuma E saw that, he swung his fist toward Ye Guan.
However, a sword had already pierced his forehead, immobilizing him.
Wuma E's eyes widened in shock, and his mind went blank.
The onlookers hidden in the shadows were equally stunned by the speed of Ye Guan's sword.
"Stop!" A figure appeared not too far behind Wuma E. The elderly man looked at Ye Guan, and his expression was filled with extreme caution as he said, "Young Master Ye, please show mercy. The Wuma Clan of Zhaowu's Nine Clans would be eternally grateful for your grace."
Ye Guan casually flicked his fingers.
Snap!
Wuma E's head flew dozens of meters away, and blood spurted like a fountain from the headless stump!
Ye Guan opened his palm, and Wuma E's storage ring flew into his hand. He glanced at the old man and said indifferently, "The Wuma Clan? You're welcome to try and kill me."
The old man was dumbfounded.
In the shadows, many faces turned grim. Even the Wuma Clan was like nothing to him!
Ye Guan grabbed Yi Nian's hand and walked toward the distant Dao Street.
The old man glared at Ye Guan with his fists clenched. A terrifying aura emanated from him, but he dared not make a move.
Just one sword strike!
Wuma E wasn't a Path Creation Realm expert, but he was pretty formidable. After all, the Wuma Clan had been training him since childhood. However, he couldn't withstand even a single sword strike from Ye Guan.
Something was wrong! The old man looked at Wuma E's distant corpse and deeply regretted not stopping Wuma E. He was planning on using Wuma E to test Ye Guan's strength. He believed that even if Ye Guan were strong, there wouldn't be any accidents, as he was protecting Wuma E from the shadows.
Unfortunately, Ye Guan was strong—strong enough to take Wuma E's life in a single sword strike.
The old man and Wuma E had underestimated Ye Guan.
The old man took a long look at Ye Guan and Yi Nian in the distance before leaving.
The Wuma Clan's next course of action wasn't up for him to decide.
***
Ye Guan slowly walked down the Dao Street while holding Yi Nian's hand. He glanced at the storage ring and found only a hundred ancestral Veins.
Ye Guan was immediately disappointed. That guy is too poor. How dare he show off when he's broke? What was he even thinking?
Wuma E's soul was speechless.
"Huh?"
Just then, Ye Guan suddenly opened his palm, revealing a blue jade pendant.
The blue jade pendant appeared extraordinary, and it seemed to contain a mysterious energy as well.
Just as Ye Guan was about to examine it, Tian Qi's voice echoed in his head. "Watch out, Young Master Ye!"
Boom!
A green light shot out from the blue jade pendant, and it entered Ye Guan's forehead.
"A Soul-Devouring Beast!" Jimo Lan's voice echoed in Ye Guan's mind. "Be careful, Young Master Ye. That's the legendary Soul-Devouring Beast, and it feeds on souls. It's the guardian beast of the Wuma Clan—"
The middle-aged man said seriously, "I had someone investigate you when the bounty on your head was issued, and I know that you have a very powerful divine sword—a sword capable of cutting down seals and restrictions."
Ye Guan glanced at the middle-aged man without saying anything, but he raised his guard. He had used the Qingxuan Sword quite a bit before, and it seemed that he ultimately couldn't avoid the eyes of some experts.
The middle-aged man smiled and added, "Rest assured, Young Master Ye, I harbor no ill will toward you, nor would I dare to harbor any ill will. After all, even the Evil Dao Alliance doesn't dare confront you openly. How could I possibly target you? I'm simply here to propose a partnership, nothing more."
However, Ye Guan shook his head, "I'm too weak to challenge the Fourth Heaven. Goodbye."
With that, he got up and left.
Ye Guan wasn't foolish enough to challenge the Fourth Heaven at the moment. He was stronger than average Path Creation Realm experts, but he hadn't deluded himself into thinking he was invincible.
Even Ji Xiaojian could only conquer the Third Heaven, and then there was the Eighth Hall Master, who was defeated right after going up to the Fourth Heaven. The two of them were stronger than him, yet they couldn't conquer the Fourth Heaven.
What if he were to challenge the Fourth Heaven? It would be pure madness; he'd be seeking his own death. It was better to progress step by step than to seek explosive growth.
Seeing Ye Guan leave without any hesitation, the middle-aged man's eyes flashed with surprise.
Just then, a voluptuous lady suddenly emerged from the inn.
"Gu Qu, you miscalculated," she remarked with a smile.
Gu Qu smiled and replied, "He is much more grounded than I expected."
The voluptuous lady looked at Ye Guan in the distance and said, "Indeed, he's not simple at all."
Gu Qu smiled and asked, "In what way?"
The voluptuous lady smiled, "First of all, he doesn't take the Wuma Clan seriously. Secondly, he treats the Evil Dao Alliance as if they are nothing. The force backing him must be quite formidable."
Gu Qu shook his head. "You've underestimated him."
The voluptuous lady looked at Gu Qu.
Gu Qu explained, "You've underestimated not only the force backing him but also his own strength. Do you really believe that we can defeat him in a one-on-one fight?"
"Hahaha." The voluptuous lady laughed, "Of course. He's a monster, but his cultivation base is too low."
Gu Qu smiled and said nothing. Instead, he turned to the distant street and asked, "What do you think? Will the Wuma Clan let this go?"
"No," the voluptuous lady said, shaking her head. "No. The young man acted too decisively, leaving the Wuma Clan with no room to retreat. If they back down, they'll become a laughingstock. If it were any other force, they would let this matter go, their reputation be damned, but we're talking about the Wuma Clan—one of the Nine Clans of Zhaowu.
"They've declined, but their pride still runs deep. They definitely won't let this go."
Gu Qu said softly, "Once glorious, now in decline. If they can't accept reality, they'd end up attracting disaster upon themselves."
The voluptuous lady was surprised. "You favor him more than the Wuma Clan?"
Gu Qu stared deeply at the distant streets. "That Tianxing Flame. It's either a well-made fake to mislead others, or it's been subdued by someone. If it's the latter, then that young man's background is extremely terrifying."
Subdued? The voluptuous lady stared at the end of the street and solemnly said, "We've all experienced the terror of Tianxing Flame firsthand. Its power is utterly devastating. There's no way someone can subdue it; it's simply too absurd for it to be possible."
"I agree." Gu Qu nodded. "And I'm sure the Wuma Clan agrees as well."
Subdue the Tianxing Flame? The idea was just ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous!
A lick of Tianxing Flame could easily annihilate a Tier Four civilization, and even Tier Five civilizations would struggle to withstand it. How could it be subdued by someone? That was simply impossible!
"Tianwu Xin," Gu Qu asked, "There's a rumor that this young man's father is beyond the Path Creation Realm. Do you believe that?"
Tianwu Xin chuckled, "No way? There hasn't been a single expert beyond the Path Creation Realm in this universe region. Let's not talk about his father; not even his grandfather can be that strong."
"I actually agree with what Wuma E said earlier. That young man must have spread that rumor himself to confuse people and make them hesitate." Tianwu Xin shook her head and laughed. "He's a swordsman, but he sure knows how to bluff."
