Chapter 648: Wait And See
Ao Qianqian sat cross-legged amid the clouds, emitting terrifying dragon might mix with incredibly powerful Battle Intent all around her.
She had reached the Ancestral Realm.
Ye Guan smiled. With each realm Ao Qianqian ascended to, his combat power would greatly increase, especially now that he had discovered that her power contained extremely strong Battle Intent.
Moreover, Ao Qianqian's advancement was equivalent to his own!
Having a wife who could integrate was certainly amazing!
At that moment, he remembered that he had to spend some intimate moments with her. After all, they were now legally husband and wife...
Ye Guan couldn't help but smile gleefully.
Shen Ye glanced at him from the side, somewhat puzzled.
Why is Young Master Ye suddenly smiling? No, more importantly, why does he look a bit lecherous?
Meanwhile, Ao Qianqian suddenly opened her eyes. In an instant, two golden lights shot out from her eyes, reaching tens of thousands of kilometers away!
Ao Qianqian took a deep breath, then transformed into a golden light. Soon after, she appeared in front of Ye Guan. Smiling, she asked, "Shall we spar?"
Ye Guan chuckled. "Between husband and wife, why spar?"
Ao Qianqian rolled her eyes at him, but her smile didn't disappear.
"How about we integrate instead? he suggested.
Ao Qianqian nodded slightly, then transformed into a golden light and entered Ye Guan.
Boom!
In an instant, a terrifying aura and powerful Battle Intent erupted from Ye Guan.
Shen Ye's expression immediately turned serious.
Ye Guan alone was already terrifyingly powerful. However, upon merging with Ao Qianqian, he would become even stronger.
After all, in such a state the two shared their physical defense, physical strength, and soul.
With their fusion, both could gain each other's strength.
A strong alliance!
Ye Guan slowly closed his eyes as he felt an endless power coming from Ao Qianqian!
Right now, his feeling was summed up in one word—magnificent!
If he wielded the Qingxuan Sword as well, then in this state, he could kill anyone.
After a while, Ye Guan slowly opened his eyes. "It's time to meet those three so-called gods."
...
Dao Market.
The three gods, Grand Elder Qi Mu of the Qi Clan, and Old Zhao, sat around a table in a restaurant. Old Zhao was seated at the head of the table since he was the most powerful.
"As long as Dao Market drives Ye Guan out and sends him back to the First God Universe," Mo'e said, "then the three of us can take care of him ourselves."
Qi Mu smiled. "Mo'e, you're being too optimistic."
Mo'e frowned.
Qi Mu calmly explained, "We haven't caused Ye Guan trouble yet because we've been investigating his background. Although we haven't discovered much, we did find one thing. He has obtained the inheritance of First God."
Mo'e and his fellow gods' expressions soured.
At the table, Old Zhao took a heavy drag from his cigarette.
"Ten Ancestral Veins..." he muttered.
...
On the other side, Mo'e and his companions left the Dao Market and returned to the First God Universe.
"Mo'e, what do you mean by this?" the Zhao Family Ancestral God asked.
"If we join forces with them, what can we ultimately get?" Mo'e replied.
The gods from the Zhao and Wang Families were stunned.
He had a point.
Dividing ten Ancestral Veins between three factions would mean their three families would only get one each.
The thought made their expressions darken.
One Ancestral Vein wasn't enough.
"What do you think of Ye Guan?" Mo'e suddenly asked.
The two looked at Mo'e.
"What do you mean?" the Zhao Family god queried.
"That person has obtained the Teacher's inheritance, so he's definitely by no means ordinary. We certainly have to do something to get our teacher's ten Ancestral Veins and divine items, but if we have to share those with the other two factions, then it doesn't seem worth the risk to me."
"You want to give in to them?"
The Wang Family god shook his head. "Mo'e means that Ye Guan is not easy to deal with. If we'll only get one Ancestral Vein despite that, it's not worth the risk."
"That's right. We should just observe for now," Mo'e suggested. "With the Dao Market and the Qi Clan teaming up, Ye Guan is bound to reveal more of his strength."
"What if the Dao Market and the Qi Clan succeed?" the Zhao Family god asked.
Mo'e smiled. "I see no problem with losing just one Ancestral Vein."
The Wang Family god also nodded slightly. "I doubt Ye Guan is that easy to defeat anyway."
He then suddenly smiled. "If we let go of that little bit of greed in us and look at Ye Guan from a bystander's perspective, we will quickly realize that Ye Guan is a tough opponent. The fact that he got Teacher's inheritance alone proves that he is extraordinary. Back then, the Mistress and Profound Clan tried to steal the inheritance but ultimately failed."
Mo'e nodded slightly. "Moreover, although he's still so young, his battle prowess is already extremely horrifying. Even we underestimated him."
As they started to realize just how powerful Ye Guan was, they began to believe that the Dao Market and Qi Clan would suffer badly. Moreover, they started to wish that the people supporting Ye Guan were powerful enough to destroy the two factions.
The Zhao Family god nodded. "We'll wait, then."
Mo'e nodded as well. "Agreed."
...
Upon returning to the Dao Market, Ye Guan frowned. The place was unusually quiet. Not even a single shop was open.
From inside the pagoda, Shen Ye suddenly said, "Be careful."
Ye Guan looked around before smiling. "They seem to have decided to initiate the battle here."
As he spoke, an old man walked toward him from a distance.
Old Zhao, who was still smoking, stared at Ye Guan. "You can call for help."
Ye Guan was confused. "Why?"
Old Zhao tapped his smoking pipe. "The Dao Market and Qi Clan would like to test the strength of the people supporting you."
