Chapter 889: Daring Enough to Call Herself Destiny

Ye Guan was delighted when everyone decided to stay behind. The Guanxuan Universe needed most elites at the Path Creation Realm the most, and these people weren't just any ordinary Path Creation elites; their combat ability far surpassed the average Path Creation Realm cultivator. At first, Ye Guan just had about twenty Eternal Crystals, but to his delight, the Seventh Hall Master's storage ring contained a total of a hundred and twenty Eternal Crystals.

What a great deal!

There were also nearly two thousand Ancestral Veins. Ye Guan was stunned. He hadn’t expected the Seventh Hall Master to be so wealthy, possessing over a hundred Eternal Crystals. The moment he thought about it, though, it made perfect sense. The Seventh Hall Master governed a vast universe region; there was no way he'd fail to amass so much money with his massive influence.

Recalling something, Ye Guan retracted his thoughts and looked at Hengshan Ying beside him.

"Lady Hengshan, come with me." Ye Guan led Hengshan Ying into the tiny pagoda.

When Ye Guan and Hengshan Ying disappeared, the Heavenly Ruler Demon chuckled. "Hahaha! Everyone, we're colleagues now."

"The Evil Dao Alliance has lost the Seventh Hall Master; they won't just let this go," Xiu Wu muttered.

Everyone's expressions turned serious; the Evil Dao Alliance was a force that they could not underestimate.

"It's natural to have concerns," Dao Jun chimed in, "The Evil Dao Alliance is not an ordinary organization. I believe we've only seen the tip of the iceberg. Despite that, just think about it; do you really think that a mere sword energy is strong enough to kill a top-tier Path Creation Realm cultivator in an instant?”

The Heavenly Ruler Demon and the others exchanged glances. They had to admit that when they saw that sword energy kill the Seventh Hall Master, they were all utterly shocked.

The Seventh Hall Master had once ascended to the Fourth Heavens, even though it was just for a brief moment

Only those who had fought their way up the Ascension World knew how difficult it was.

Despite his achievements, he was killed in an instant by a single sword energy. To make matters worse, the owner of the sword energy didn't even appear.

"We should not underestimate Young Master Ye." Dao Jun grinned. "His cultivation base is, but who among us can confidently that say we'll beat him in a one-on-one fight?"

Everyone fell silent.

They had to admit they were wary of Ye Guan's bloodline power and techniques, especially his Lifespan Severance. Their lifespans were limited, and they shuddered at the thought of losing more lifespan with just a swing of Ye Guan's sword.

"Cherish this time, everyone! With Young Master Ye's talent, it won’t be long before he no longer needs our help." Dao Jun pointed out, and a complicated light flashed in his eyes.

He had watched as Ye Guan improved by leaps and bounds, and his cultivation speed was simply monstrous.

The group exchanged glances and smiled bitterly.

Indeed, Ye Guan's combat strength was awe-inspiring. If Ye Guan were a Path Creation Realm cultivator, who'd be his match among them?

Just then, Ci Tian suddenly walked up to the Heavenly Ruler Demon and revealed a meaningful smile. "Benefactor, what was the meaning of what you said earlier?"

Huh? The Heavenly Ruler Demon turned to look at Ci Tian and froze. What's up with this monk?

Meanwhile, Ye Guan led Hengshan Ying to the Immortal Dao Tree inside the tiny pagoda. Upon seeing the tree, Hengshan Ying was deeply shocked, and she exclaimed, "The Immortal Dao Tree! This belongs to the Shui Clan."

Ye Guan opened his palm, revealing the Shui Clan's sacred character, and he handed it over to Hengshan Ying.

Taking the character, Hengshan Ying's beautiful eyes showed a complex light.

Ye Guan asked, "Are you familiar with the Shui Clan?"

"I do." She looked at Ye Guan, "Have you heard of the Nine Clans of Zhaowu?"

Ye Guan shook his head.

Hengshan Ying explained, "The Shui Clan and my Hengshan Clan were once part of the Nine Clans of Zhaowu. Are you sure you've never heard of the Nine Clans of Zhaowu?"

Ye Guan shook his head again.

Zhou Fan looked up and caught sight of Ye Guan. She put down her pen and smiled.

Ye Guan walked up to Zhou Fan and said, "I'm going to the Ascension World."

"I figured as much," whispered Zhou Fan.

"Should I go?"

"Yes."

"I'm going, then."

Zhou Fan smiled sweetly. "Go ahead! We... have a long future ahead of us..."

Ye Guan turned and left, but he returned to Zhou Fan's side after just taking a few steps.

Swoosh!

Ye Guan's sword domain manifested, enveloping them and isolating them from the outside world.

Parting was always sorrowful. When the hearts of the couple met, clouds and rain appeared unbidden, and a fragrant plum blossom bloomed beautifully.

The Eighth Hall Master sat silently on the stone steps of the Tenth Hall. He had been here for a whole day and a night.

He was constantly being reminded of the Seventh Hall Master's instant death.

A single sword energy had slain the Seventh Hall Master in the blink of an eye.

For the first time ever, the Eighth Hall Master felt as insignificant as an ant.

Rumble!

The spacetime in front of him suddenly trembled. The next moment, a tall lady dressed in a blood-red robe stepped out of the rift.

The lady was tall, with long black hair like ink and an incredibly beautiful face. Most notably, there was a blood-red streak on her glabella.

The Eighth Hall Master was puzzled upon seeing her. She was an unfamiliar face.

The lady in a blood-red opened her palm, and a token appeared in her hand.

The Eighth Hall Master was stunned. Then, his expression changed drastically as he immediately stood up and bowed deeply. "Greetings, Fifth Hall Master!"

The Eighth Hall Master was shocked. He hadn't expected that the Evil Dao Alliance would send the Fifth Hall Master here.

The lady in a blood-red robe opened her palm again, and a painting appeared in her hand.

A lady dressed in a plain skirt was in the painting.

The lady in a blood-red robe stared at the Eighth Hall Master and asked, "Is she the Tenth Hall Master's killer?"

The The Eighth Hall Master nodded and replied in a deep voice, "Yes, and she is extremely terrifying.."

"Terrifying, you say?" The lady in a blood-red robe revealed no changes in expression, but the corners of her mouth curled up in disdain. "She's just a swordsman from a low-tier civilization. I came here specifically to kill her... Plain-Skirt Destiny? A mere ant actually dares to call herself Destiny? Truly ignorant of her own mortality. Once I find her, I will—"

Rumble!

A spacetime rift manifested, and a lady in a plain skirt stepped out of the rift, interrupting the Fifth Hall Master's sentence.
