I Have A Sword

Chapter 568: Five On One, We Have The Advantage

Life itself was cultivation, and it was impossible for everyone to stay true to themselves without committing any mistakes

Everyone would inevitably experience moments of confusion.

Everyone would inevitably feel confused.

Of course, Ye Guan was not an exception.

It was like a beggar suddenly inheriting billions. Could they stay grounded and not be swayed?

Ye Guan stared at Cirou and whispered, "Have you been waiting for me all this time?"

Cirou nodded. "Yes."

Ye Guan smiled. "Are you not angry at me?"

Cirou said, "I am, but I understand. After all, everyone was once young."

Everyone was once young! Ye Guan held Cirou's hand and bowed slightly without saying anything.

Cirou didn't resist, allowing Ye Guan to hold her hand.

"We're attacking them tomorrow. How do you feel about it?"

Ye Guan chuckled. "Mother has arranged everything; I'm just going along for the ride."

Cirou's voice grew solemn. "I'm more concerned about the Past Clan's Clan Leader."

Ye Guan's brow furrowed slightly. "Are you afraid that she'll break the rules?"

Cirou nodded.

Ye Guan chuckled. "That's exactly what I want."

Cirou was momentarily surprised. Then, she smiled and said, "Indeed."

If the white-robed woman broke the rules, it wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing for Ye Guan.

"I've met Sister Zhen," said Ye Guan.

Cirou's heart tightened, and she stared at Ye Guan with a trembling gaze.

Ye Guan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll handle Sister Zhen's matters."

Ye Guan had made up his mind. He'd do his best to become even stronger in the next ten years. If he failed to become invincible before the ten-year deadline was up, then he'd gather Ye Xuan, Plain-Skirt Destiny, Yang Ye, the Unfettered Swordsman, and Qingqiu to deal with the Evil Dao.

Do you really think you're strong, Evil Dao? If Plain-Skirt Destiny can't defeat you by herself, I'll bring five people to fight you at the same time!

"..."

Cirou reached out and held Ye Guan's hand, whispering, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Just do your best."

Ye Guan nodded. "Don't worry, I know my limits."

Cirou smiled softly. "Go ahead and see Little Jing."

Ye Guan held Cirou's hand. "Shall we go together?"

"What would I do there?" Cirou said, rolling her eyes at Ye Guan. Her eye roll was pretty charming in Ye Guan's eyes. Ye Guan fell into a daze. After a brief hesitation, he leaned down and kissed Cirou's forehead.

Cirou didn't resist and nestled slowly into Ye Guan's embrace. "Do you know? I really envy the time you spent with Big Sister in the Milky Way."

Ye Guan asked, "Why?"

"Because it was so wholesome..." Cirou muttered.

Ye Guan wrapped his arms around Cirou's slender waist, whispering, "Once Sister Zhen has returned, what do you think about going back to the Milky Way and living there for a while?"

Cirou looked up at Ye Guan and asked, "Really?"

Ye Guan nodded.

Cirou smiled brightly. "Okay, let's do it."

Then, she tiptoed and whispered into Ye Guan's ear, "Make sure to prepare a super large bed in advance..."

Ye Guan blinked. "For what?"

"To play cards!" Cirou said shyly.

Ye Guan leaned down and kissed Cirou on the lips.

Cirou trembled slightly, intending to resist, but she found herself powerless.

They kissed for a while before their lips eventually parted.

Ye Guan looked at the captivating Cirou in his arms and smiled. "I'll remember to prepare the big bed. Haha..."

Ye Guan eventually left.

Cirou looked at the strand of Ancestral Origin in her hand, and a charming smile tugged at her lips. She wasn't smiling because of the gift of Ancestral Origin but because Ye Guan had finally found his former self.

Cirou was genuinely happy about it.

After parting ways with Cirou, Ye Guan visited Cijing.

Cijing was slightly surprised to see Ye Guan.

Ye Guan was about to speak, but Cijing beat him to the chase, saying, "Let's spar!"

Ye Guan was taken aback.

Cijing looked at Ye Guan. "Come on."

Ye Guan smiled. "Okay."

The two drew their swords at the same time.

Buzz!

A buzzing noise pervaded the air as two sword lights streaked through the air.

Boom!

A ray of sword light exploded, and the two were forced to retreat.

After coming to a halt, a hint of surprise flashed in Cijing's eyes. "You..."

Cijing was extremely shocked. Cijing knew that Ye Guan was a monstrous talent, but he was so weak at the time that it would be an insult to compare him to her. However, Ye Guan's strength had already reached an unprecedented level, even though it hadn't been that long since they first met.

Ye Guan chuckled. "This rate of progress is just normal for the quality and amount of resources that my family is giving me."

Cijing nodded. "Let's continue."

However, Ye Guan shook his head. "I don't want to spar anymore."

Cijing frowned. "Why?"

"Because we will be fighting side by side tomorrow..."

Cijing stared at Ye Guan but remained silent.

Ye Guan walked up to Cijing, took her hand, and whispered, "I have many things to say to you."

He had always felt guilty toward the woman before him. Cijing had not only risked her life to save him, but she was even willing to oppose the True Universe for him. This debt of gratitude was something Ye Guan could never fully repay in his lifetime.

Cijing looked at Ye Guan. "You and Big Sis..."

Ye Guan nodded.

Cijing gave Ye Guan a thumbs up. "Impressive."

Ye Guan hesitated briefly before asking, "You... aren't jealous?"

Cijing glared at Ye Guan as if she wanted to draw her sword.

Ye Guan dared not tease Cijing anymore. He had known long ago that Cijing's skin was thin and that she wouldn't be able to withstand his teasing.

"Tell me about your time with Big Sister in the Milky Way!" Cijing demanded. Moments later, she added, "Don't hide anything! Tell me everything!"

Ye Guan blinked. "Should I also mention some things that are not suitable for children?"

"Go ahead."

Ye Guan smiled and recounted his time with Cizhen in the Milky Way. Of course, he still ended up hiding a few things that were not meant to be shared with other people.

Cijing sighed and said, "So she ultimately chose to suppress the Universe Tribulation."

Ye Guan looked at Cijing. "You knew she was going to do that?"

Cijing nodded. "Little Rou and I had known long ago that she was going to do that in the end.

"After all, the Universe Tribulation is getting stronger and stronger every time it acts up, and Big Sister has been suppressing it for many years now.

"The Universe Tribulation's strength is beyond our imagination at this point. At first, we all thought that Big Sister might sacrifice herself to suppress the Universe Tribulation, but fortunately, there was still room for maneuver."

Cijing stared deeply at Ye Guan and said, "It's also fortunate that Big Sister left behind a trace of humanity. Otherwise, she would have lost herself, and she would no longer be our big sister."

Ye Guan nodded. Fortunately, Cizhen had chosen not to fully abandon her humanity. If she had chosen otherwise, then Cizhen would have lost all of her attachments to this world.

Cijing suddenly asked, "Have you been to the Tribulation Realm?"

Ye Guan nodded. "Yes."

Cijing looked at Ye Guan, seemingly hesitating.

Ye Guan held her hand firmly and smiled. "Don't worry, I will definitely save her."

"Yes, I believe you," Cijing said.

Big Sister! Ye Guan looked up at the distant sky with a gaze full of determination. Anyway, he had already made a plan for the worst-case scenario. If necessary, he would gang up on the Evil Dao!

Five against one! The advantage is mine.

The next day, many supreme elites gathered in the starry sky above the Dark Emperor World. The supreme elites of the Yang Family's three generations were present along with the Time Reversers that Qin Guan had recruited. Qin Guan had talent at recruiting people, and she also had Ancestral Origin.

The Ancestral Origin pills that she had created had become a hard currency of the Time River.

Ye Guan walked up to Little White and Erya, who was licking a candied hawthorn.

Erya sized Ye Guan up and asked, "What's up?"

Ye Guan smiled and took out two strands of Ancestral Origin. Then, he wasted no time, handing them to Erya and Little White. "These are for you two."

Erya glanced at the strands of Ancestral Origin in Ye Guan's hand, feeling puzzled. "What are these for?"

"I'm sure you know that this is the most precious resource throughout the vast expanse. Take it and use it to cultivate."

Erya stared at Ye Guan without saying a word.

Little White's furry face was full of curiosity as she played with the strands of Ancestral Origin.

Ye Guan said earnestly, "It's really precious..."

Erya shook her head. "No, thank you."

"Why not?" asked Ye Guan, sounding puzzled.

Erya calmly replied, "It's too precious; you should use it yourself, Grandson."

Little White waved her tiny paw and then pointed at the strands of Ancestral Origin while shaking her head. Ye Guan had no idea what she was trying to say.

Ye Guan was confused. "What is she saying?"

"She said that you should use it yourself," Erya translated.

Ye Guan smiled wryly. "Erya, Little White, these strands really are precious. This is the only thing I can offer to show my filial piety to both of you."

Erya and Little White exchanged glances before reluctantly accepting the two strands of Ancestral Origin.

Ye Guan was speechless for a moment. Did I give strands of Ancestral Origin to the wrong people?

Just then, Qin Guan exclaimed, "Activate the array!"

Boom!

A beam of light fell from the distant sky, and the light coalesced into a colossal teleportation array. The teleportation was large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people.

Ye Guan walked up to Qin Guan and asked, "Mother, have there been any movements from the Past Clan?"

"Of course," said Qin Guan with a smile. "There's no way they'll sit idly by."

Ye Guan looked at Qin Guan and asked, "What are our chances in this battle?"

Qin Guan shook her head. "We won't know until we fight."

Ye Guan nodded slightly. "Then, let's fight!"

Fight! It was time to end the conflict between the two sides!

Qin Guan took Ye Guan's hand and smiled before glancing at Ye Qingqing and the two other Destiny.

Ye Qingqing and the other two Destiny stared alternatingly between Qin Guan and Ye Guan. After a while, Ye Qingqing nodded slightly and left along with the other two Destiny.

Ye Guan was curious. "Mother, what are they going to do?"

Qin Guan smiled. "They're the strongest people in our camp, along with Lady An, so I have to make them do things that ordinary supreme elites can't do."

Ye Guan's face darkened. His intuition was telling him that this attack was a bit more complicated than he could ever imagine.

Seeing the light of worry in Ye Guan's eyes, Qin Guan smiled and said, "Don't worry, just pick an opponent to fight and leave the rest to me."

"All right," Ye Guan said, nodding.

Qin Guan turned to look at the teleportation array and declared, "Let's go!"

Everyone walked into the array one after another. Soon, the teleportation array came to light and sent beams of light to shroud everyone before whisking them away.
