I Have A Sword

Ye Guan was stunned to see Zhou Fan's red face.

Did I say something to make her blush? Why is she blushing? Ye Guan was completely dumbfounded.

Little Pagoda said, “You've inherited your father’s talent and charms.”

Ye Guan’s face darkened. “Master Pagoda, did I say something wrong?”

Little Pagoda sighed softly. “Actually, you’re even more impressive than your father. Your father flirted consciously, but you do it unconsciously.”

Ye Guan had no idea what to say.

Meanwhile, Zhou Fan’s expression finally returned to normal. Seeing Ye Guan’s somewhat bewildered look, she realized that she had let her thoughts run wild, and she immediately felt a little ashamed. Young Master Ye is an upright and dignified man. How can he be a frivolous person? The fact that he's so dense probably means that he's a virgin.

Zhou Fan’s face reddened again at that thought. She composed herself before staring at him with a smile, saying, “Young Master Ye, let’s leave this pagoda.”

Ye Guan glanced sideways at her, feeling slightly puzzled about why she was blushing. In the end, he decided not to think too much about it and nodded, saying, “Sure.”

While they were heading outside, Ye Guan suddenly stopped and explained, “Lady Zhou, what I meant earlier was that you didn't charge me an entrance fee to this secret realm. I guess you can say that I hit the jackpot with that. That's what I was trying to say.”

Zhou Fan smiled. “I know.”

Ye Guan was speechless. Why are you blushing, then?

Zhou Fan had a puzzled look on her face as she asked, “Did Young Master Ye mean something else?”

Ye Guan had no idea what to say.

Seeing that he was stumped, Zhou Fan smiled and said, “Let’s go.”

The smile tugging at Zhou Fan's lips grew wider as she walked away.

Meanwhile, Ye Guan could only shake his head and smile before following her outside.

The Right Elder rushed up to Zhou Fan and whispered, “Lady Zhou, Old Left has requested reinforcements.”

“Reinforcements?” she asked.

The Right Elder nodded. “Yes.”

Zhou Fan was curious. “What's the origin of his enemies?”

The Right Elder replied, “Old Left mentioned something about the Evil Dao Alliance.”

Zhou Fan’s expression changed drastically.

"Let’s go,” she said sternly before disappearing from the spot along with the Right Elder and the black-robed middle-aged man.

“The Evil Dao Alliance!” Ye Guan exclaimed and frowned. “They actually chased us here? Are they crazy?”

Zhou Yuan said in a serious tone, “Young Master Ye, it seems that the Evil Dao Alliance really wants to eliminate you.”

“Are they really going this far just because I saved those people from the Cangyun Civilization?” asked Ye Guan. He then shook his head and answered his own question, "There's no way that's the only reason behind this!”

Zhou Yuan said, “Regardless, the Evil Dao Alliance definitely did not come here to make friends. It’s fine if there are no Path Creation Realm cultivators among them. Otherwise…”

Ye Guan’s expression fell. He stood no chance against Path Creation Realm experts. After a moment of contemplation, Ye Guan said, “Let’s go out and take a look.”

Ye Guan and Zhou Yuan rushed outside to confront the Evil Dao Alliance.

***

It had been quite a while since the Left Elder and his people had been fighting Xuan Yang and that Evil Dao.

Despite their numbers, they had been unable to defeat that Evil Dao and Xuan Yang.

To make matters worse, Xuan Yang had summoned five top-tier supreme elites, all of whom were at the half-step Path Creation Realm.

The tables had turned, and the Left Elder was forced to request reinforcements.

Just then, Zhou Fan appeared on the battlefield with her people. She looked around and said, “Stop.”

The Left Elder and the people around him stopped fighting and retreated to her side.

Xuan Yang stopped as well and looked at Zhou Fan with a dark expression.

Zhou Fan calmly asked, “The Evil Dao Alliance?”

Xuan Yang sneered. “Impressive. You actually know about the Evil Dao Alliance.”

Zhou Fan turned to the Left Elder and asked, “How did the fight start?”

The Left Elder replied, “They refused to pay the entrance fee and tried to force their way in.”

“Why do I need to pay an entrance fee? Do you guys own this place?” Xuan Yang asked.

Zhou Fan calmly said, “This is a secret realm. There used to be an array concealing it, but I'm the one who broke the array, so anyone who wants to enter must pay an entrance fee.”

Xuan Yang stared intently at Zhou Fan before saying, “I refuse to pay.”

Zhou Fan frowned.

The Left Elder pointed at Xuan Yang and scolded, “Fuck you!”

Xuan Yang’s face twisted with rage, and he swung his fist at the Left Elder.

He had long noticed Ye Guan, but he had no interest in him at the moment. His goal was to kill this old man, who had been incredibly rude to him so far.

When Xuan Yang made his move, the elites behind him also vanished from their positions. The battle then continued.

Zhou Fan felt like she was having a headache.

The Left Elder was excellent in every aspect except for his excessively bad temper.

Clearly, she had made a mistake by bringing him along this time.

Swoosh!

Ye Guan appeared next to Zhou Fan and asked, “Need any help?”

Zhou Fan turned to Ye Guan and asked, “Do you know them?”

The corners of Ye Guan's lips twitched. She's smart.

Zhou Fan asked, “Are they here to hunt you down?”

Ye Guan did not reply, but sometimes, silence was enough of an answer.

Zhou Fan was surprised. “How did you offend the Evil Dao Alliance? They're an extremely powerful organization, you know that, right?”

Ye Guan shook his head and smiled. “It’s a long story.”

Zhou Fan was about to ask more questions when Xuan Yang and his men stopped and retreated several hundred meters away, puzzling everyone.

Zhou Fan and Ye Guan turned to stare at them and saw an old woman with a bed of white hair.

The old woman had appeared without anyone noticing it; she was none other than Evil Granny. Xuan Yang and his men bowed respectfully to her.

Ye Guan and Zhou Fan’s expressions turned serious. Zhou Fan reminded him, “She’s a Path Creation Realm expert.”

Ye Guan’s face darkened. The Evil Dao Alliance actually sent a Path Creation Realm cultivator to kill me?

Evil Granny stepped up, and her gaze landed on Ye Guan. “What is your relationship with the True God?”

Ye Guan calmly replied, “She is my wife.”

Wife?! Zhou Fan whipped around to look at Ye Guan.

Evil Granny's eyes narrowed. “The True God can suppress her divinity with humanity, and you’re telling me that she has fallen for someone as insignificant as you?”

Ye Guan smiled. “What does an old hag like you know about love?”

“Impudent!” Evil Granny roared. lightly tapped the void with her staff, and a terrifying aura swept across the battlefield.

Ye Guan was about to draw his Qingxuan Sword when Zhou Fan stepped in front of him. She opened her palm, revealing a golden ancient book that transformed into a colossal golden dragon.

The colossal golden dragon protected everyone.

Boom!

The terrifying aura struck the golden dragon, and the golden dragon immediately turned illusory, letting out a miserable wail.

Evil Granny looked at Zhou Fan and said, “The Great Zhou's Imperial Family.”

Zhou Fan nodded.

Evil Granny added, “Young lady, do you know why you're still alive? It’s because I’m showing respect to your Imperial family. But that doesn’t mean that you can do whatever you want, do you understand?”

Zhou Fan smiled and said, “Young Master Ye is under the protection of my Great Zhou's Imperial Family.”

The Left Elder and the Right Elder were stunned.

The Left Elder glanced sideways at Ye Guan and was about to say something when he was stopped by the Right Elder.

Ye Guan was also surprised.

Evil Granny laughed out loud. “Are you sure?”

Zhou Fan nodded. “I’m very sure.”

Evil Granny glared at her and asked, “Do you speak for the Great Zhou's Imperial Family?”

“Yes.”

“If you were ignorant of my Evil Dao Alliance, I would forgive your ignorance. However, you are insisting on doing that despite being aware of our power. I’ll take your words as a declaration of war on the Evil Dao Alliance.”

“Then war it is.”

The Left Elder and the Right Elder were both shocked. They weren't exactly aware of the Evil Dao Alliance, but they had to possess the power of a Tier Four civilization at the very least. Evil Granny was a Path Creation Realm expert, after all.

Declaring war on a Tier Four civilization… Zhou Fan did not have the authority to make such a decision!

Moreover, if things were to go wrong, she'd be impeached by the officials and be stripped of her right to succession.

The two elders panicked. There were countless factions that were supporting her, which meant that her words represented not just her own interests but the interests of those noble families and clans as well.

What she had done would surely cause a massive storm...

Ye Guan was astounded as well. He didn't expect her to make such a decision. He glanced at Evil Granny and thought it would be better not to drag others into this mess.

Just as he was about to say something, Zhou Fan turned to him with a smile and said, “Don’t say anything that will ruin our friendship.”

Ye Guan fell silent.

"Hahaha." Evil Granny chuckled, “Interesting, very interesting. The Great Zhou's Imperial Family has really become something over the years. All right, I'll kill you, then. I’ll skin you alive and hang your corpse over the Great Zhou's Imperial City. Let’s see if your Imperial family will still dare to go to war against my Evil Dao Alliance!”

Then, Evil Granny turned to Ye Guan and remarked, “As for you, I'll skin you alive as well, but I’ll hang your entire family, both men and women, before the Evil Dao Hall. I’ll burn them for ten thousand years, ensuring that they will never reincarnate.”

Evil Granny stepped forward, and the star field around them, which stretched at least a million kilometers, turned deathly silent.

A world-destroying power enveloped Zhou Fan.

Ye Guan’s expression changed drastically. He knew he couldn't handle a peak Path Creation Realm cultivator by himself, so he hurriedly called out inwardly. “Grandfather…!”

Ye Guan glanced at the fierce and terrifying Evil Granny before adding, “Aunt…!”

Somewhere far away, two terrifying auras shattered a myriad of universe boundaries…
