Chapter 634: Unexpected Guest

Ye Guan's sudden appearance surprised the three Gods.

What? How did Ye Guan get his cultivation back?

However, the trio quickly regained their composure and put up their guard. Disbelief flooded their minds as they thought of all the possibilities of how Ye Guan could escape from the prison.

Ye Guan silently observed them.

Why did the Qignxuan sword suddenly disappear?!

Considering how strong he was at the moment, he couldn't resist the seal without it.

Meanwhile, on another street, a confrontation unfolded between Erya, a young girl with a white little creature on her shoulder, and a Dao Soldier. The girl had a sword in her hand.

In a secluded corner nearby, a man in white turned to the lady beside him.

With a puzzled expression, he asked, "Qing'er, how did they manage to borrow my sword?"

Qing'er blinked.

Just before she could respond, the man said, "Don't answer that."

He then thoughtfully added, "No wonder my Qingxuan Sword often goes missing. They borrow it."

"Is it possible that the sword doesn't belong to you?"

The man in white fell silent.

...

Back on the street, Ye Guan faced the three Gods. Neither side dared make a move.

The trio was visibly wary now. They hadn't expected Ye Guan to not only escape from the Dao Prison but also regain his cultivation.

Their frustration was palpable.

Are the Dao Soldiers incompetent? What about the seals here? Aren't they supposed to bind even Primordial Spirit Masters?

Seeing the cautious expressions of the three Gods, Ye Guan suddenly drew the Xuanyuan Sword. "Time to take you all down!"

The trio recoiled in fear, but Ye Guan didn't follow through. It was a ruse, and their expressions darkened immediately.

"Qingxuan?" Ye Guan quickly called.

He knew this was the opportune moment to eliminate the three Gods. If only he had the Qingxuan Sword, he'd wreak havoc.

On another street, upon hearing Ye Guan's call, the Qingxuan Sword trembled slightly.

Little White blinked, then smacked the sword and raised it high in the air again.

Clearly, she had triumphed over Ye Guan.

Palpable tension weighed down on Erya and Little White as they faced off against the Dao Soldier.

A crowd had gathered around them, their eyes fixated on Little White.

A living Spirit Progenitor was a rare sight. Hence, many couldn't hide their greed.

However, some keen observers also noticed Erya's actions. Just moments ago, she had single-handedly dealt with a man attempting to take the Spirit Progenitor by force.

Erya looked at the Dao Soldier, took a lick of her hawthorn candy, and asked, "Can't we negotiate?"

However, Qi Yuan's gaze remained fixed on the trio. "I'm here to talk to the three of you."

Mo’e’s expression tightened slightly, sensing the gravity of the situation.

"As far as I know, my Qi Family's involvement in this matter was at your request. Hence, indirectly, her death can be attributed to you as well. I'm not here seeking vengeance, though. Taking money for a job is just part of life. Her demise was a result of her own lack of strength and foolishness."

The three Gods listened quietly. He continued, "From what I understand, the three of you are here to track down that young man. I assume you're aware of his background, then?"

"Indeed, we are. He's a talented swordsman from our universe. He had a run-in with some of our people and ended up taking the lives of many of them. That's why we're hunting him down. Unfortunately, we never expected him to stumble into the Dao Market. Moreover, although we did seek help from the Qi Family, we never imagined Ye Guan would be audacious enough to commit murder here..."

He sighed softly, shaking his head. "He knew that woman was from the Qi Family, yet he killed her anyway. Clearly, he has no regard for the Qi Family."

"Just a talented swordsman?"

“What's wrong with that?”

“Why would a mere swordsman dare murder someone here?”

"Young calves aren't afraid of tigers."

Qi Yuan gave the trio one last glance before turning to leave.

Mo’e's brows furrowed as he murmured, "He's suspicious of Ye Guan's identity and background... Who is Ye Guan?"

In fact, they had forgotten to investigate Ye Guan's background. All they knew was that he had the inheritance of the Supreme God. The Supreme God would not have given something so important to an ordinary person.

The Zhao Clan's Ancestral God softly said, "His background does not matter. That man has Teacher's inheritance. We need to find a way to make him leave this place..."

"Let's find the Cloud Ship Granny for now," Mo’e said.

The three turned and left.

...

On the other side, as Qi Yuan walked to the side of a street, a black-clad old man appeared beside him and bowed respectfully. "Elder Yuan."

Qi Yuan's gaze turned cold. "Have you figured out the boy's background?"

The black-clad old man shook his head. "All we know is that he came from the First God Universe. We couldn't find anything else."

As Qi Yuan's brows furrowed deeply, the black-clad old man solemnly added, "Elder Yuan, regardless of his background, since he dared kill someone from the Qi Family, he must pay the price. Otherwise, our prestige in this place..."

"There's no need to rush."

Qi Yuan's calmness puzzled the old man.

Looking into the distance, he continued, "Our Qi Family has maintained its standing among the worlds not only through generation after generation of talent but also through caution. We can't just act rashly until we've fully understood our opponent's true intentions. While it is easy to strike, it can be difficult to retreat sometimes."

After a brief pause, he added, "Furthermore, those three clearly intend to use our Qi Family as a pawn... They're quite naive."

"What should we do, then?"

"We'll just observe for now. Continue the investigation."

With a bit of hesitation, the black-clad old man replied, "Elder Yuan, if this boy turns out to be terrifying and someone our Qi Family shouldn't provoke, what about Lady Li's vendetta..."

Expressionlessly, Qi Yuan answered, "Qi Li is merely a temporary worker hired by the Qi Gamily. Her actions have nothing to do with us."

The black-clad old man was rendered speechless.
