Chapter 684: Do You Know the Great Daoist Brush Master?

Ye Guan met Shen Qi's gaze without flinching and smiled. "You're welcome to do so anytime."

Shen Qi nodded slightly and said, "We will be watching."

With that, he turned and waved his sleeve.

Boom!

The independent space shattered, and the fight between Zhen Tian and Shen Wu abruptly came to a halt.

Shen Wu retreated to stand beside Shen Qi.

Shen Qi looked at Zhen Tian and declared, "My God Clan declares war on the Zhen Clan, and this war will not end until one side is annihilated."

Shen Qi, Shen Wu, and the supreme elites of the God Clan disappeared into the vortex.

A war of annihilation. The Zhen Clan cultivators were silent.

The three major powers had coexisted peacefully until today, and everyone still couldn't quite believe it

"Young Master Ye, please follow me!" Zhen Tian exclaimed and turned around to leave.

Ye Guan nodded slightly and followed closely behind him.

Everyone else followed suit.

A direct confrontation between two superpowers was no small matter.

In the council hall, Zhen Tian looked at Ye Guan and said, "Young Master Ye, you cannot leave the Zhen Clan's territory."

Ye Guan was about to speak, but Zhen Tian beat him to the chase, saying, "I know you have an unparalleled expert by your side, but I'm sure you know that even a top-tier supreme elite cannot fend off so many enemies by themselves. Once that fierce beast is restrained, you'll find yourself in danger."

Ye Guan nodded slightly and said, "I understand."

Ye Guan's swordsmanship could be considered a bit "divine," but he still couldn't contend with powerful opponents like Shen Qi and Shen Wu.

Zhen Tian added, "Our current priority is to stabilize the Ancient Wilderness."

Ye Guan shook his head with a smile, "I also have enmity with them."

Zhen Tian nodded. "I know, and I also know that you have enmity with the Northern Demon King."

"That's right."

Zhen Tian smiled and said, "However, the Ancient Wilderness has four demon kings."

Ye Guan was a bit astonished. "Are you saying that they're independent from each other?"

Zhen Tian nodded and explained, "Yes, those demon kings cannot represent the entire Ancient Wilderness, but it's a different story with the Demon God."

"Are you saying that we should make contact with the other demon kings, Senior?" Ye Guan asked.

Zhen Tian solemnly said, "The stance of the Ancient Wilderness is very important to us, especially since we've made an enemy out of the entire God Clan. If they were to support us, the God Clan would surely fall. If they ended up supporting the God Clan, we wouldn't be their match. Thus, we must secure the support of the Ancient Wilderness. At the very least, we need them to remain neutral."

Ye Guan said, "If I were the Demon God, I would choose to stand by and reap profits from both sides."

"Indeed, that's the best choice," Zhen Tian said, "But what if the God Clan approaches them with olive branches?"

Ye Guan fell silent.

Zhen Tian looked at Ye Guan and said, "Little friend, we need to visit the Ancient Wilderness and meet the Demon God."

"All right," Ye Guan said with a nod.

"We have to go there now," Zhen Tian said, "The three of us will go."

Ye Guan was a bit surprised. "Three?"

Zhen Tian smiled. "Nanxue will go with us."

Zhen Nanxue was astonished, and she cast a bewildered gaze at Zhen Tian.

What a judicious man!

Just then, the old man from earlier finally reappeared before the three of them.

"Please follow me," said the old man.

Zhen Tian nodded. "Lead the way, please."

Under the old man's lead, the three ventured deep into the Ancient Wilderness. After traversing countless mountains, they soon found themselves inside a dense forest.

The trees in the forest towered tens of thousands of meters high, blotting out the sky. The forest was dense, but the trees were arranged in a way that would allow ample sunlight to come through, making the forest appear bright rather than dim and gloomy.

Zhen Tian looked around with curious eyes.

Ye Guan noticed that and smiled. "Senior, is this your first time here?"

Zhen Tian nodded. "We have had little contact with the Ancient Wilderness, so I've never set foot here until now."

"Senior, how strong is the Demon God? Is he at ninety percent divinity?"

Zhen Tian shook his head. "I don't know."

"How powerful were your clan's ancestors?"

Zhen Tian spoke in a deep voice, "They almost reached ninety percent divinity."

"Almost ninety percent divinity?"

"Yes," Zhen Tian said, nodding. "Reaching ninety percent divinity is an incredibly difficult feat. From what I've heard, only the First God and a few extraordinary figures from the Primordial Spirit Land managed to reach that level of divinity."

"Senior, have you ever heard of the Past Clan's Clan Leader?"

Zhen Tian frowned slightly, "The Past Clan's Clan Leader?"

Ye Guan nodded, "Yes."

Zhen Tian shook his head and said, "I've never heard of them."

Ye Guan was puzzled. The Past Clan's Clan Leader was a peerless expert with ninety percent divinity, but to think that she was actually unknown to the world.

Just then, Zhen Nanxue standing nearby chimed in, "Young Master Ye, you're from the Time River, right? Is the so-called Clan Leader of the Past Clan from the Time River as well?"

Ye Guan nodded. "Yes."

Zhen Nanxue nodded slightly and said, "That makes sense. We don't know much about the forces within the Time River."

Zhen Tian glanced at Ye Guan and was about to ask something when the old man ahead of them stopped walking.

Ye Guan and the others looked ahead and saw a woman sitting by a divine tree and in front of a small pond.

The woman was wearing a light green dress, and her feet stirred the water gently.

Lady Demon Moon!

Ye Guan stared deeply at the woman. She appeared very much like a human, and she was an otherworldly beauty. There was no sign of her being a demonic beast, which puzzled Ye Guan.

Even the fierce Erya, who often interacted with humans, had features that spoke volumes about her true identity.

Zhen Tian said, "Greetings, Lady Demon Moon."

Lady Demon Moon glanced at Zhen Tian and smiled, "Clan Leader Zhen, you sure are playing a grand game... to think you'd use your entire clan to make such a great move. Impressive."

Lady Demon Moon's voice sounded light and clear—pure and pristine.

Zhen Tian smiled. "I assume Lady Demon Moon knows why I am here."

"I do." Lady Demon Moon nodded and looked at Ye Guan. "Do you know the Great Daoist Brush Master?"

Ye Guan was immediately stunned.
