Chapter 1009: Plain Skirt Lady is Invincible
"You fool!"
While the Reincarnation Ancestral Stone was brimming with excitement, the Grand Sect Master's face turned ashen with anger, and he stomped furiously, shouting, "Why provoke him?! Huh? Huuuh?!"
The First Hall Master had once instructed him that unless she was present, the Evil Dao Alliance could not provoke Ye Guan. The Plain Skirt Lady was invincible in this universe region, and they couldn't fight her at all.
The Grand Sect Master had faith in the First Hall Master's words.
However, he never expected Wu Yi to be so foolish, prioritizing killing Ye Guan over defeating the Tianxing Civilization!
Damn it! The Grand Sect Master was so enraged he nearly spat blood. Since Ye Guan had a grudge against the Tianxing Civilization, he hadn't intended to intervene at all, so this was the best chance to defeat the Tianxing Civilization!
If they were to attack Ye Guan, and the Tianxing Civilization ended up helping Ye Guan, the latter would surely attempt to save the Tianxing Civilization!
Just then, Fu Wu and Jing Chu made their move.
The two women appeared in front of Ye Guan.
Boom!Holy King Zong was forced to retreat by the two women, but the two women spat several mouthfuls of blood. The two ladies had no idea of Ye Guan's background, but they could tell that he wasn't an ordinary figure. Thus, they didn't hesitate and decisively stepped forward to assist him.
The Grand Sect Master's face darkened at the sight. He felt like a thousand horses were galloping all over his head. He was about to lose his mind! Why provoke such a powerful third-generation young master?!
The Grand Sect Master truly wanted to strangle Wu Yi. Of course, he knew that the woman was eyeing Ye Guan's pagoda and sword, but attacking Ye Guan at this moment was truly unwise!
If Ye Guan ended up helping the Tianxing Civilization, things would become complicated—a massive headache.
Qiu Baiyi had sacrificed his life to turn Ye Guan against the Tianxing Civilization, but now… The Grand Sect Master's heart bled at the thought of it alone.
Wu Yi's face turned grim when she saw the two women assisting Ye Guan.
She glared at Ye Guan and said, "Holy King Zong—"
Holy King Zong shook his head and replied, "Your Highness, the priority is to kill those two Chief Enforcement Officers."
"I've already used the Holy King Token. Holy King Zhu will be here in no more than fifteen minutes," Wu Yi replied.
The Holy King Token! Holy King Zong frowned, clearly displeased, as he believed he could handle everything at hand on his own. However, he said nothing more and looked down at Ye Guan. Without a word, he transformed into a massive ray of golden light, charging directly at Ye Guan.
Since you want to protect this human, then I'm going to keep targeting him. Let's see if you can save him!
As Holy King Zong swooped down, Fu Wu and Jing Chu stepped forward together.
A fist and a sword!
Boom!
A deafening explosion resounded throughout the heavens and the earth. Holy King Zong was forced back once again, but Fu Wu and Jing Chu collapsed to the ground. Ȑ₳
Had they been unscathed, they wouldn't have feared Holy King Zong. However, they were already on the verge of collapse and could no longer compete with Holy King Zong, who was still in peak condition.
Their fierce battle earlier had left them with less than a tenth of their peak strength. They were extremely close to their limits.
Yi Nian hurriedly supported the two ladies. She turned to look at Ye Guan, and her eyes glistened with tears. She wanted to say something, but she refrained from saying anything.
Ye Guan solemnly said, "Let them enter the pagoda."
Yi Nian wept with joy and carried the two women into the tiny pagoda.
The Grand Sect Master's face became even darker at that. He glanced at Wu Yi in the distance and said, "Ten years inside that pagoda is just one day outside. Ye Guan has incredibly powerful healing treasures, so in less than half an hour, those two Chief Enforcement Officers will recover completely.
"We're all going to die by then."
How terrifying would it be to face an unscathed Jing Chu and Fu Wu?
The thought alone made his scalp tingle!
Holy King Zong frowned deeply, and his expression became solemn.
Wu Yi glared coldly at the Grand Sect Master and sneered, "What? Schadenfreude?"
"Ye Guan had no intentions of intervening with the Tianxing Civilization's affairs!" the Grand Sect Master snapped, " Why did you have to provoke him? Are you insane?"
"He wasn't even that strong when your Evil Dao Alliance started targeting him, but now, he's already a Path Annihilation Realm expert. Moreover, his sword intent has undergone a qualitative change.
"His rate of improvement is terrifying fast. When are you going to move against him? Once he's invincible?" Wu Yi retorted.
She deeply despised Ye Guan, but she had to admit that his rapid growth was terrifying even in her eyes. His rate of improvement was so fast that it was terrifying even in the Wujian Civilization.
Despite that, the Evil Dao Alliance still had no intentions of killing him!
They were attempting to nurture a tiger, oblivious to the harm it could bring!
The Grand Sect Master's face grew gloomy. He had, of course, noticed Ye Guan's rapid progress. To say he wasn't alarmed or fearful would be a lie, but there was nothing he could do.
The First Hall Master had ordered them not to trouble Ye Guan for the time being.
Wu Yi coldly glanced at the Grand Sect Master before looking at Ye Guan down below. "Grand Sect Master, the two Chief Enforcement Officers are now inside that tiny pagoda.
"As you said, they will recover in less than half an hour. When that time comes, can you face both of them?"
The Grand Sect Master frowned. "What do you mean?"
Wu Yi sneered, "What do I mean? Holy King Zong is already fighting, so why are you just standing by? Did you come here to watch a show?"
The Grand Sect Master's face sank.
"Grand Sect Master, you can either keep watching or join my Holy King against Ye Guan."
The Grand Sect Master stared deeply at Wu Yi and realized that he had underestimated her. She had two goals—kill Ye Guan and force the Evil Dao Alliance into a final battle with the former.
The Grand Sect Master's face turned even darker.
He had to make a move now, or he would die in less than half an hour. He could barely fight one of them, so if he had to face both, it'd be certain death.
The Evil Dao Alliance and the Wujian Civilization had teamed up to annihilate the Tianxing Civilization. If they failed, the Tianxing Civilization would surely retaliate with a vengeance.
Wu Yi had the Boundless Spacetime—a spacetime that not even the Tianxing Civilization could easily penetrate, but the Grand Sect Master had nowhere to hide.
In other words, he had no choice!
Holy King Zong had initially intended to make a move, but after receiving Wu Yi's signal, he stopped and turned to look at the Grand Sect Master.
Indeed!
The Evil Dao Alliance had to be dragged into this mess. They couldn't let them reap the benefits as bystanders.
Ye Guan gazed at the Grand Sect Master and Wu Yi in the sky. He didn't make a move, either. He needed to stall for time and survive until the two Chief Enforcement Officers had fully recovered.
He had to waste as much time as possible.
Just then, Yi Nian appeared beside him. He grabbed his hand and smiled sweetly.
"I'm really good at fighting," she said.
Ye Guan laughed.
Wu Yi glanced at the Grand Sect Master and said, "Is this trivial matter really worth so much deliberation? What? Is that so-called lady in a plain skirt really that strong? Does she terrify your Evil Dao Alliance that much?"
Wu Yi revealed a mocking smile.
The Grand Sect Master finally looked at Ye Guan and said, "We're killing him."
He had decided to make a move. Otherwise, the alliance between the Evil Dao Alliance and the Wujian Civilization would fall apart.
The Evil Dao Alliance would be at a disadvantage if that were to happen.
Hearing the Grand Sect Master's command, Wu Yi glanced at Holy King Zong and nodded slightly.
Holy King Zong took a step forward. With just that step, countless rays of golden light fell from the heavens like waterfalls, surging toward Ye Guan like a deluge.
At the same time, the Grand Sect Master disappeared, and a terrifying aura swept across the battlefield.
His target was Ye Guan!
The Grand Sect Master was wary of the Plain-Skirt Lady, but he had no other choice—he had to make a move.
Just then, Yi Nian standing next to Ye Guan transformed into a ray of light, colliding with the Grand Sect Master.
Meanwhile, Ye Guan took a step forward. His Invincible Sword Intent surged out from within him. Without hesitation, he opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword, wrapped in endless sword intent, soared into the sky.
Boom!
When the two forces collided, the countless rays of golden light trembled violently before shattering inch by inch and disintegrating into nothingness.
Holy King Zong frowned. "That sword..."
Wu Yi became incredibly grim at the sight. Ye Guan's strength had improved drastically again. His rate of improvement was utterly terrifying and absurd!
Just then, Ye Guan took to the sky. He gripped the Qingxuan Sword tightly and performed a downward slash.
Boom!
The countless rays of golden light shattered in an instant.
However, a beam of golden light charged at him—it was Holy King Zong!
Ye Guan raised his sword to defend himself.
Bang!
The beam of golden light shattered, but Ye Guan was sent flying thousands of meters away. As soon as he came to a stop, the space behind him collapsed, transforming into a dark and bottomless spacetime abyss.
Blood trickled down the corner of his mouth; his arms and body were numb from the impact.
Holy King Zong stared at the sword in Ye Guan's hand, and his eyes burned with desire. "That sword is quite impressive. I'll take it."
Swoosh!
Holy King Zong vanished.
In the distance, a savage glint flashed in Ye Guan's eyes. He took a step forward, and his three bloodlines came to life. Then, he slashed out—Decisive Strike!
Ye Guan's aura surged crazily.
Boom!
A kaleidoscope of sword lights erupted as the golden light shattered along with the sword lights. The immense impact sent Ye Guan flying again. Just as he was flying away, Little Pagoda suddenly exclaimed, "Holy crap, watch out!"
Ye Guan immediately felt something so alarming that all his hair stood on end.
