Chapter 403: Ye Guan Killed Me

Chapter 403: Ye Guan Killed Me

The old man and the woman stared in disbelief at Ye Guan.

The woman's eyes were wide open. Sword Intent!

It was her first time witnessing such a terrifying sword intent. The young man's sword intent was so strong it seemed capable of destroying the world.

Who is he? The woman's heart welled up with tumultuous emotions.

The old man's expression was grave as he said, "What a dreadful sword intent. I reckon that even the ancestors of the Shushan Sword Sect don't have such a terrifying sword intent."

The woman nodded; her gaze was fixed on Ye Guan, and her eyes were filled with a mixture of astonishment and perplexity. "Did he suffer a backlash?"

"I don't know," the old man said with a shake of his head. He then turned to the woman and asked, "What should we do next, Miss?"

The woman stared quietly at Ye Guan for a moment before saying, "First of all, let's attend to his injuries." Follow current novels on novelb((in).(com)

The old man nodded, and the two helped Ye Guan to a quiet courtyard.

The woman hesitated briefly while staring at the young man on the mat. She extended two fingers and held them horizontally in front of the young man's nose.

Moments later, she sighed in relief—the young man was still breathing.

The old man's expression remained serious as he said, "I didn't expect that I'd encounter a master here. Perhaps the sword of the Xuanyuan Clan will accept him."

The woman remained quiet.

The old man was about to say something, but Ye Guan's eyes abruptly shot wide open. He flinched upon seeing the old man and the woman, but he quickly looked around.

"Am I in the Ten Thousand Swords Manor?" he asked.

The woman nodded. "Yes, you are."

Ye Guan attempted to sit up but was astonished to find his entire body emitting waves of pain and numbness. He felt like he had just finished an extremely exhausting workout.

Ye Guan's face darkened. He was on the verge of shattering the seal in him, but someone else appeared to suppress him. In other words, there were two culprits behind the seal on the entire planet.

Ye Guan felt wronged. Still, he could only sigh to himself and admit that he was too weak to fight the two culprits. If he were to remain weak forever, would that mean he would be suppressed indefinitely?

Ye Guan closed his eyes and clenched his fists tightly.

He did not want to give up.

Just then, the old man asked, "May I know your name?"

Ye Guan snapped back to reality and replied, "My name is Ye Guan."

Ye?

The old man and the woman exchanged glances. The Ye Clan wasn't one of the four major clans of Yanjing.

Ye Guan wanted to get up, but his legs were too weak to support his weight. Ye Guan sighed once more and realized that he had narrowly avoided death. The assailants had held back against him. Otherwise, he would have died earlier.

The woman suddenly produced a small pill and handed it to Ye Guan. "Mr. Ye!"

Ye Guan examined the pill and asked, "What is that?"

"It's an Energy Recovery Pill. As its name states, it restores your energy," the woman replied.

Ye Guan cupped his fist to express his gratitude before taking away the pill and consuming it. The pill instantly melted into a thin layer of spiritual energy inside his body.

"Miss, did that pill contain spiritual energy?" Ye Guan asked.

The woman nodded.

Ye Guan's expression changed slightly. Spiritual energy was scarce here, so the pill he had just consumed had to be extremely precious.

"Miss, that pill must have been precious," Ye Guan said while staring at the woman.

"That pill was just a tiny gesture of appreciation on my end; you don't have to worry about it," the woman replied with a shake of her head.

"I'll remember this favor," Ye Guan replied with a smile.

The woman didn't reply, but the old man seemed delighted. A pill in exchange for a master's elite was nothing.

Ye Guan recovered quickly after absorbing the Energy Recovery Pill. He stood up and glanced outside, noting the darkening sky.

"I'm leaving," Ye Guan said and turned around to leave.

"Mr. Ye!" the woman called out and said, "You said earlier that you came here to buy a sword. Do you still want a sword?"

"Yes." Ye Guan nodded.

The woman nodded and opened her palm.

A magical scene happened afterward as a sword materialized slowly over her palm.

"Tell them that I'll be there," Xuanyuan Ling said.

The old man nodded. "Alright!"

Xuanyuan Ling turned around and started walking away with a trembling heart while holding a piece of paper. The mnemonics of the sword art and cultivation method Ye Guan had written earlier were on the piece of paper.

A glance was enough for Xuanyuan Ling to determine that Ye Guan had written a priceless cultivation method and sword art. Xuanyuan Ling felt as though her heart was about to burst out of her chest.

The Xuanyuan Clan's rise was nigh.

...

Ye Guan saw that Xiao Xue was still waiting for him in the car. He hurriedly got into the car, and Xiao Xue immediately asked, "Mr. Ye, are we going back to Purple County?"

Ye Guan thought for a moment and shook his head. "No."

Xiao Xue asked, "Where are we going, then?"

"Just find me a place to stay," Ye Guan replied.

Xiao Xue glanced at Ye Guan through the rearview mirror and said, "I'll arrange a room for you, Mr. Ye."

"I believe in you." Ye Guan nodded."

Xiao Xue nodded lightly and said, "Thank you."

The car drove off and disappeared into the night.

Soon, Xiao Xue's brows were furrowed.

"Someone is following us, right?" Ye Guan asked.

Xiao Xue nodded without saying anything.

"Stop the car," Ye Guan said.

Xiao Xue hesitated for a moment before asking, "Should I inform—"

"No need." Ye Guan interrupted with a smile, "Just pull over."

"Okay," Xiao Xue could only nod and pull over.

Ye Guan glanced at Xiao Xue and said, "Wait for me; it won't take long."

Xiao Xue cast a confused gaze upon Ye Guan.

Ye Guan stood on the roadside, seemingly waiting for someone. They were in a secluded area with sparse traffic and few pedestrians.

Just then, a car pulled over not too far away from Ye Guan, and a middle-aged man alighted from the car. The middle-aged man was none other than Muwu from the Future Clan, and as usual, he was carrying a broadsword on his back.

Muwu stopped a few meters away from Ye Guan and asked, "Were you waiting for me?"

Instead of replying, Ye Guan opened his palm, and a sword shot out like lightning from his palm.

Muwu's eyes constricted. He reached out for his broadsword, but the sword had already pierced his forehead. Blood spilled on the ground as Muwu's head cracked open from the forehead.

Muwu's eyes widened in disbelief. How was this possible? It didn't make sense for him to die just like this!

Ye Guan walked up to Muwu and searched the latter's corpse.

Ye Guan found a few dollars and an atm card, but he found no spirit stones.

Ye Guan cast a disappointed gaze at Muwu and asked, "How come you're so poor?"

He then stood up and started walking away.

"Wait." Ye Guan stopped upon recalling something and asked, "How much did the Li Family pay you?"

"How do you—" Muwu unconsciously blurted out, and he stopped mid-sentence upon realizing that Ye Guan had just fished out a crucial piece of information out of him.

Ye Guan didn't respond and continued walking away.

Muwu slowly fell to the ground. He refused to close his eyes and greet death, as he was dissatisfied by how he had perished. It was unfair! He had yet to even pull out his broadsword!

Muwu recalled something and took out his phone to send a final text message.

[Ye Guan killed me. Avenge me.]

Muwu's text instantly reached the phones of the members of the Future Clan...

Ye Guan got into the car and said, "Let's go to the Li Family!"

Xiao Xue's voice was trembling as she asked, "The Li Family? W-what are we doing there?"

"Damage control," Ye Guan replied calmly, "So we have to move quickly."
