I Have A Sword

Chapter 717: A Bunch of Fools

Chapter 717: A Bunch of Fools

Ye Guan turned slowly and saw an elderly man standing beside Qing Zhi.

The old man was wearing a large robe, and his white hair was flowing over his shoulders. The white-haired old man's gaze was as sharp and as cold as a sword.

Meanwhile, the Primordial Spirit Clan cultivators had already surrounded Ye Guan.

Qing Zhi closed her eyes, her heart sinking into despair. She had never imagined that her clan would stoop so low as to use her as leverage against Ye Guan.

The Primordial Spirit Clan had changed, and she was no longer familiar with it.

Ye Guan looked at the white-haired old man and chuckled. “It seems that I have underestimated the shamelessness of your Primordial Spirit Clan.”

The white-haired old man stared at Ye Guan without speaking. He understood well that someone like Ye Guan could not be allowed to leave alive, not only for the sake of the clan's reputation but also because of Ye Guan's immense talent and strength. A genius like him would eventually become a massive threat to the Primordial Spirit Clan. Moreover, Ye Guan possessed a mysterious and extremely powerful divine sword—one that surpassed even the Primordial Spirit Imprint in rank. For the sake of the clan's future and reputation, Ye Guan had to die no matter what.

More and more Primordial Spirit Clan members appeared to surround Ye Guan. To make matters worse, a formation was coming to life within the depths of the clan's estate.

The white-haired old man opened his mouth to speak when a sword suddenly appeared before him.

His pupils constricted sharply, and he decisively grabbed Qing Zhi, using her as a human shield.

However, the sword stopped just half an inch from Qing Zhi's brow as another sword descended toward the white-haired old man's head.

Terrified, the white-haired old man clenched his right hand into a fist, unleashing a formidable power from within him.

Boom!

The white-haired old man was blasted away.

Meanwhile, Ye Guan appeared next to Qing Zhi.

Qing Zhi was staring at Ye Guan with guilt evident on her face. “I’m sorry.”

Ye Guan shook his head slightly and said, “This has nothing to do with you.”

Qing Zhi's expression was complicated.

Ye Guan smiled and urged, “Go and enter the pagoda for now.”

With that, he sent Qing Zhi into the world inside the tiny pagoda without waiting for the latter's reply.

The Primordial Spirit Clan cultivators were thrown into disarray. They hesitated, unsure of their next move.

Ye Guan's display of power had shaken their confidence. His ability to effortlessly overpower their strongest warriors and even the Grand Elder told them that there was a massive difference in their strength.

Just then, Ye Guan's clear voice reverberated throughout the air as he addressed the Primordial Spirit Clan members.

“Your clan’s actions today have sealed your fate. If you choose to continue down this path, you must know that you're not just facing me but the consequences of your shamelessness as well.”

The white-haired old man struggled to stand up and shouted, “Attack! Kill him before he escapes!”

The white-haired old man no longer dared to fight Ye Guan by himself.

When the white-haired old man's roar echoed throughout the battlefield, the Primordial Spirit Clan experts attacked at the same time. Waves of terrifying power surged toward Ye Guan, forcing him to respond by activating his sword domain.

The power of spacetime within his sword domain combined with his Invincible Sword Intent burst outward, carrying with it a tremendous force that swept across everything nearby.

Everything nearby was obliterated into nothingness, and the experts of the Primordial Spirit Clan were forced to retreat.

However, the sheer volume of attacks took its toll on Ye Guan as well. He flew nearly ten thousand meters away before coming to a halt; there was blood trickling down the corner of his mouth.

He was confident in his strength, but there were just too many enemies. He was fighting an entire clan, after all, and it was proving too much for him to handle.

Just then, Ye Guan sensed a threat, and he turned toward the depths of the Primordial Spirit Clan's territory.

Just then, the Wise Master sensed something. His brows furrowed, and he spread his palm, moving his fingers in a mystical pattern.

Soon, the stars above the Primordial Spirit Divine City rotated slowly as mysterious energies emerged above the Wise Master's head.

The Wise Master's eyes suddenly widened in shock. "How is this possible?!"

Spirit Lord Sifa solemnly asked, "What is it?"

The Wise Master's face turned extremely grim as he replied, "The same sense of danger from before is growing stronger."

Spirit Lord Sifa frowned. "Is it related to Ye Guan?"

The Wise Master gravely replied, "It has to be to him."

"It seems that we really can't let him live," Spirit Lord Sifa said with cold eyes.

The Wise Master turned to look at the horizon with an extremely worried and troubled gaze.

Shen Zhi World.

Lou Deyue stood up abruptly, staring intently at the elder in front of her. "What? You said the Primordial Spirit Clan is hunting Young Master Ye?"

The elder quickly nodded. "Yes."

Lou Deyue furrowed her brows. "Why?"

The elder recounted the events that had transpired in the Primordial Spirit Clan.

Lou Deyue shook her head in anger and cursed, "Dumbass! The Primordial Spirit Clan is made up of a bunch of fools..."

The elder bowed slightly, not daring to speak.

Lou Deyue said in a stern voice, "Are the elders of the Primordial Spirit Clan all idiots? In addition to failing to woo him over, they even antagonized him and are now hunting him down. Are they really that foolish?"

The elder hesitated for a moment before saying, "Our informants said that it's all the Grand Elder's fault. He was apparently coveting Young Master Ye's sword."

"Idiots!" Lou Deyue was furious.

"I also have my eye on his tiny pagoda, but I dare not try to steal it!"

The elder dared not speak again.

Lou Deyue shook her head slightly. "The Primordial Spirit Clan truly is made up of a bunch of fools."

The elder said in a deep voice, "They're already chasing after Young Master Ye..."

Lou Deyue was about to curse again, but then she thought of something and frowned. After a while, she said, "Send word to Elder Bai and Elder Qing, tell them to go to the Old Era immediately, and protect Young Master Ye from the shadows."

The elder hesitated. "Miss, if we do that, we'll become enemies with the Primordial Spirit Clan..."

Lou Deyue's expression was cold. "I was just worrying about not having a good excuse to get closer to Young Master Ye, but the Primordial Spirit Clan has actually given me such a great opportunity. It seems that the heavens are truly on my side..."

Lou Deyue's expression changed drastically in delight at the realization.

The elder stared at Lou Deyue, feeling a bit puzzled. Was she starting to like Young Master Ye?

The elder hesitated for a while before cautiously saying, "Miss, our Shen Zhi Clan doesn't allow its members to marry outsiders..."

Lou Deyue stared wordlessly at the elder.

The elder felt a bit unnerved standing beneath her gaze.

After a while, Lou Deyue muttered, "A marriage alliance... you just reminded me of that possibility."

The elder had no idea what to say.
