Chapter 685: Lady In A Plain Skirt

Noticing Ye Guan's change in expression, Lady Demon Moon smiled and said, "It seems that you do know him."

Ye Guan nodded and asked, "I do know him. How do you know the Great Daoist Brush Master?"

"I met him once many years ago."

Ye Guan nodded and went silent, but he was inwardly shocked. The Great Daoist Brush Master has really been to just about anywhere... to think he even has acquaintances here. Truly worthy of being the universe’s greatest wanderer.

Great Daoist Brush Master. “???”

Lady Demon Moon added, "Are you his chosen one?"

Ye Guan looked at Lady Demon Moon and asked, "What did he say to you?"

Lady Demon Moon smiled. "He mentioned a few things."

Ye Guan was curious. "What did he say?"

Lady Demon Moon withdrew her gaze, looking at the pond in front of her, before turning to Zhen Tian and asking, "You came here because of your issue with the God Clan, right?"

Zhen Tian nodded. "Indeed."

Lady Demon Moon calmly said, "Rest assured, the Ancient Wilderness will not get involved."

Zhen Tian immediately felt relieved, and he was a bit curious as well. He had heard of the Great Daoist Brush Master, and the rumors said that he was the closest to the Great Dao, but Zhen Tian had never met him even once.

Just then, Lady Demon Moon asked, "Young Master Ye, can we talk privately?"

Ye Guan was a bit surprised.

Zhen Tian and Zhen Nanxue exchanged glances before retreating.

The old man behind Lady Demon Moon retreated as well, leaving behind only Lady Demon Moon and Ye Guan.

Lady Demon Moon turned to Ye Guan and asked, "Do you have First God's journal?"

Ye Guan nodded.

Lady Demon Moon smiled. "So both he and the Great Daoist Brush Master have chosen you. Do you have any idea why?"

Ye Guan calmly replied, "Maybe it's because my family is very powerful."

Ye Guan was aware of his own abilities and limits.

The Great Daoist Brush Master and the First God had chosen him not because of his exceptional talent but because of his powerful relatives.

If it hadn't been for his relatives, those two wouldn't even spare him a glance, regardless of his talent.

After all, they had seen far too many geniuses and prodigies in their lifetime.

Lady Demon Moon stared quietly at Ye Guan.

Ye Guan smiled, "What else would you like to ask?"

Lady Demon Moon asked, "Have you read that journal?"

Ye Guan shook his head.

Lady Demon Moon asked, “How about your family members?"

Lady Demon Moon waved her hand, and those auras receded like a tide.

Swoosh!

Zhen Tian and Zhen Nanxue appeared, and their expressions changed drastically upon seeing Ye Guan's condition.

Ye Guan's fleshly body had been destroyed, and he was left in his soul form, which was extremely fragile.

Zhen Nanxue cast a furious gaze at Lady Demon Moon. “Lady Demon Moon, is this how you treat your guests?”

Lady Demon Moon stared indifferently at Zhen Nanxue. “Do I need you to teach me how to act?”

Zhen Nanxue was about to retort when Zhen Tian raised his hand, stopping her.

He looked at Lady Demon Moon and asked, “Lady Demon Moon, what is the meaning of this?”

Lady Demon Moon calmly replied, “I wanted to teach Young Master Ye some manners.”

Zhen Tian frowned.

Lady Demon Moon added, “Zhen Tian, are you going to attack me? You better think twice. Attacking me is like declaring war on the Ancient Wilderness.”

Declaring war on the Ancient Wilderness... Zhen Tian's face darkened. If it weren't for the fact that they were at war against the God Clan, Zhen Tian wouldn't tolerate Lady Demon Moon's behavior. After all, they were not afraid of the Ancient Wilderness. Unfortunately, making enemies out of the Ancient Wilderness would mean fighting on two fronts, which would be disastrous for the Zhen Clan.

Suppressing his anger, Zhen Tian walked over to Ye Guan and said apologetically, “Young Master Ye, I had no idea that she would attack you.”

“It's not your fault,” Ye Guan said, shaking his head. He then looked at Lady Demon Moon, who was staring at him.

Zhen Tian grabbed Ye Guan's arm and shook his head slightly, transmitting his voice through profound energy, “Young Master Ye, a true man knows when to yield and when to stand firm. Let's leave this place for the sake of the bigger picture.”

Ao Qianqian suddenly interjected, "Don't start a fight here. If you do, you'll implicate Zhen Tian and his daughter."

Ye Guan fell silent. He knew he had the power to fight, given that Ao Qianqian, Erya, and Little White were all with him. However, fighting here would endanger Zhen Tian and Zhen Nanxue, potentially putting them in a perilous situation, as this was the territory of the Demon Clan. With this in mind, Ye Guan turned to Zhen Tian and said, "Senior, let's leave."

Zhen Tian sighed in relief. He was also afraid that Ye Guan might start a fight here, which would make their situation extremely difficult. After all, there were only three of them in Lady Demon Moon's territory.

If a fight were to break out here, they wouldn't be able to escape.

Without further thought, Zhen Tian grabbed Ye Guan and said, "Let's go."

With that, he took Ye Guan and Zhen Nanxue and disappeared into the horizon.

Lady Demon Moon's eyes flickered with a whirlwind of complicated thoughts as she stared at the three disappearing into the horizon.

Just then, a middle-aged man—the Northern Demon King—walked out from the side.

The Northern Demon King asked in a deep voice, "Lady Demon Moon, why did you not detain them?"

Lady Demon Moon shook her head and said, "What do you think would the Zhen Clan do if we had killed them here? They would undoubtedly retaliate against the Ancient Wilderness. So why not let them go back and fight the God Clan? This way, our Ancient Wilderness will be able to profit a ton once both sides are thoroughly exhausted."

The Northern Demon King remained silent. He understood that Lady Demon Moon's plan was the most beneficial for the Ancient Wilderness, but he personally wished to eliminate Ye Guan and the others right there and then, as it was their best opportunity to do so.

Lady Demon Moon turned to look at the silent Northern Demon King, who quickly collected his thoughts and said, "Lady Demon Moon, your strategy is impeccable. I am impressed."

Lady Demon Moon chuckled and remarked, "Northern Demon King, spare me the flattery. Now, go and keep an eye on the Zhen Clan and the God Clan."

The Northern Demon King nodded slightly and turned around to leave.

Lady Demon Moon looked at the distant horizon and sneered, "Quite a few powerful backers? Ridiculous..."

She was about to turn around and leave when she heard footsteps behind her. Frowning, she turned to see a lady in a plain skirt walking toward her.
