Chapter 701: Youre Right

Chapter 701: You're Right

"Blind old man?" asked Ye Guan, sounding puzzled.

Ruo Ming nodded slightly. "Yes."

"And what am I going to do next?"

"He's going to tell you what to do. Of course, you shouldn't trust him completely. However, I'm sure you're smart enough to know what you have to do."

Ye Guan nodded. "All right."

Run Ming stared at Ye Guan with a serious expression and said, "Remember, find the blind old man first before returning Qing Dai to the Primordial Spirit Land. Also, you must not meet with Qing Mo. You should not get involved in the matter between Qing Dai and the First God. It's a massive whirlpool of muddy water, and it's even a taboo topic throughout the Primordial Spirit Land. Most importantly, do not reveal to anyone that you're the First God's successor."

"I think they already know, though..." Ye Guan muttered.

Ruo Ming shook her head and said, "No, I don't think so. The people from that place are too arrogant to have any interest in the outside world, so they definitely haven't heard of you yet. As long as you don't expose yourself, they certainly won't know that you're First God's successor."

"Okay," Ye Guan said.

Ruo Ming looked like she wanted to say more, but she held back in the end and simply smiled. "Go on!"

"All right." Ye Guan smiled as well and said, "Take care, Sister Ruo."

Ruo Ming stared at Ye Guan's departing figure and frowned. "The First God... I don't think he's scheming against that young man, especially with that personality, but how come Qing Dai is with him?"

Ruo Ming was confused. However, she had no idea that Erya and Little White had snatched away Qing Dai from a certain someone to turn her into Ye Guan's wife.

Erya was strong enough to sense that Qing Dai carried a massive and potentially harmful karmic burden.

So what if that was the case? As long as it wasn't connected to the Plain Skirt Lady, Erya was not going to be afraid of anything.

Naturally, whether Little Guan could handle that karmic burden or not wasn't Erya's business.

Erya and Little White were very fond of Ye Guan. Otherwise, they wouldn't have helped him so many times.

However, the two agreed that Ye Guan needed to experience more hardship, just like his grandfather. Overcoming more hardships would make Ye Guan even stronger.

At the same time, the two didn't want Ye Guan to become like father, who was infamous for being a big liar.

Ye Guan's father had deceived them of many things, and he had yet to return them as well.

Whenever the two thought of Ye Guan's father, the two would always shake their heads in exasperation.

***

After leaving the Black Death Prison, Ye Guan followed the map and began his journey to the Primordial Spirit Land.

On the way there, Ao Qianqian said in a serious tone, "Little Guan, there's something strange about this."

"I sensed it, too," Ye Guan replied with a slight nod. He could tell earlier that Ruo Ming wanted to tell him something but had held back for some reason.

Ao Qianqian sounded worried as she said, "I think it's related to this Primordial Spirit Land..."

"Yeah, but..." Ye Guan trailed off before continuing, "I don't think that Sister Ruo or the First God are going to harm me."

He had met the First God only once, but he had faith in the First God's character. Ye Guan believed that the First God wouldn't scheme against him, and Ye Guan was very certain of that.

As for Ruo Ming, he also believed that she wouldn't harm him.

Unfortunately, Ye Guan had no idea that the source of trouble was right by his side.

"I'm about to make a breakthrough into the Heaven Dao Realm," Ao Qianqian said, changing the topic.

Ye Guan was momentarily stunned. "Really?"

Ao Qianqian nodded and smiled. "Yes."

Ye Guan shook his head. He had known long ago that some people were only arrogant to those weaker than themselves and wouldn't consider such people as fellow human beings.

However, they had a penchant for groveling like dogs in the face of someone stronger.

The other party tried to say, but Ye Guan was not interested at all and simply swung his sword.

Swoosh!

A radiant sword light streaked across the silent star field. A miserable wail echoed in the distance, but it was soon cut short. An instant kill!

Ye Guan hadn't used his delayed sword technique. His attack just now was just an ordinary sword attack, but it seemed like those below fifty percent divinity were too weak to withstand even his ordinary sword moves.

Ye Guan opened his palm, and a storage ring floated to his hand. The storage ring contained only one Ancestral Vein.

Ye Guan shook his head and tutted, "What a poor guy..."

Upon making quick work of the Ancient Wilderness and the God Clan, Plain-Skirt Lady handed over the storage rings of the two superpowers' higher-ups to Ye Guan, so the latter had sixty-three Ancestral Veins.

Even more shocking was that they were all Pure-grade Ancestral Veins!

In other words, Ye Guan was immeasurably wealthy; he had so much money that he couldn't possibly spend it all.

In addition to his immense wealth, he had countless divine treasures and artifacts as well. They weren't ordinary treasures and artifacts either; they were the prized collections of the God Clan and the Ancient Wilderness.

However, Ye Guan didn't carry those divine treasures and artifacts on himself. He already had the Qingxuan Sword, so he didn't care about those divine treasures and artifacts at all.

In the end, he entrusted all of them to An You and told him to deliver them to his mother, Qin Guan.

Even though he had no use for them, the Guanxuan Academy would certainly find them useful.

Qin Guan was taking care of the Guanxuan Academy at the moment, so Ye Guan decided to deliver those divine artifacts and treasures to his mother.

Of course, he gave first dibs to Erya and Little White. However, they had high standards and were extremely picky. They took one glance at the treasures and dismissed them with disdain, which made Ye Guan laugh helplessly.

Ye Guan put away the storage ring and prepared to continue on his journey when several powerful auras approached him from a distance, making him frown.

An old man standing in front of two black-robed supreme elites soon appeared in front of Ye Guan.

The old man said, "Who are you, and why did you kill a member of my Star Cloud Clan?"

Ye Guan calmly replied, "He attacked me first."

The old man frowned and asked, "Who are you?"

Ye Guan smiled slightly. "I'm just passing through."

The old man's gaze turned cold, but he did not dare to make a move. He could not gauge Ye Guan's true strength.

Ye Guan said, "I was just passing through. I told him that, but he still attacked me, so I had no choice but to defend myself."

Since Ye Guan was trying to explain himself, the old man assumed that Ye Guan was afraid of the Star Cloud Clan.

The old man's confidence was bolstered by his assumption, so he coldly retorted, "A life for a life."

Ye Guan frowned and raised his hand, swinging his sword.

Boom!

A ray of sword light killed the old man instantly before the latter could even more.

The two black-robed supreme elites were stunned.

Ye Guan nodded slightly and said, "You're right. A life for a life."

The two black-robed men were dumbfounded. What the fuck? Is that your idea of 'a life for a life'?
