Chapter 859: Despair
Another one?
Ji Xiaojian was already terrifyingly powerful, and now there was another one?
How were they supposed to fight back?
Were the heavens trying to destroy the Great Zhou?
The Great Zhou experts were in despair, feeling hopeless.
Zhou Fanyu’s face was also pale. Another one? Who can handle this?
Ye Guan looked at the horizon, his brows furrowed. Was the Evil Dao Alliance crazy? Why such a grand display just to kill me? Am I being targeted by the Great Daoist Brush Master or something?
In the sky, spacetime split open, and a middle-aged man slowly walked out. The man was extremely burly, with a broad chest and thick arms. Every step he took made the ground tremble as if he were an ancient god.
Seeing him, Ye Guan’s face darkened, “A Physique Cultivator.”
Zhou Fan nodded slightly, her brows knitted in worry.
Ye Guan’s expression was also serious. Swordsman and physique cultivators were the hardest to deal with, and now there were two of them.
One against two?
Ye Guan glanced at Ye Qingqing, worry filling his eyes.
Ye Qingqing looked at the burly man approaching, her expression calm.
Ji Xiaojian frowned as she questioned, “Cang Wu, what are you doing here?”
The burly man named Cang Wu stopped and looked down at Ye Guan. His voice was thunderous as he said, “This person has close ties with the True God, I’m here to capture him.”
Ji Xiaojian immediately stated, “He’s mine.”
Cang Wu glanced at Ji Xiaojian. “Are you sure you can handle this swordsman?”
Ji Xiaojian’s face darkened.
After all this time fighting, she felt fatigued. No matter how fiercely she attacked, the female swordsman before her remained immovable, her expression serene.
What did that mean?
Although she felt somewhat unwilling, her rationality told her that the female swordsman hadn’t used her full strength.
Ji Xiaojian looked at Ye Qingqing and asked, “Why not fight to the death?”
“This place isn’t suitable for a fight; let’s go somewhere else.”
“All right!”
Ye Qingqing looked at Cang Wu in the distance. “You too.”
“Are you sure?” Cang Wu frowned.
Ye Qingqing snapped, “Stop talking nonsense.”
With that, she turned into a beam of sword light and disappeared into the horizon.
Ji Xiaojian didn’t hesitate, turning into a beam of sword light and vanishing into the sky.
Cang Wu glanced down at Ye Guan, then stomped lightly and shot into the starry sky, disappearing at the edge of the universe.
Seeing the two Supreme Daoists leave, Master Yue and his people exchanged looks. What was going on? Were they not going to fight anymore?
Master Yue’s face was dark.
The people of the Great Zhou were on high alert.
Master Yue and his group, although not as strong as Ji Xiaojian, were still powerful and they dared not underestimate them. However, they weren’t particularly afraid of Path Creation Realm experts.
Ci Tian suddenly stood up and stretched his muscles. He looked at Master Yue and his group, putting his hands together as he asked, “Do you want a one-on-one or a group fight?”
Master Yue glared at Ci Tian, “Just wait, Great Zhou!”
The Great Zhou Emperor understood his daughter's feelings, so he added, "I brought you here to tell you that our Great Zhou is now tied to Young Master Ye. I understand that you like him and are willing to make sacrifices for him, but you must remember that you are the heir and the future ruler of Great Zhou. You can't be preoccupied with personal feelings alone. I know you want to keep your emotions separate from these responsibilities, but you must understand that while love is a matter between two people, marriage involves two families..."
Zhou Fan remained silent. She understood her father's point. Why was Great Zhou so determined to protect Ye Guan? Mainly because they considered him Zhou Fan's future husband. Otherwise, Great Zhou wouldn't have involved itself in the conflict between Ye Guan and the Evil Dao Alliance.
If Zhou Fan suddenly claimed that she and Ye Guan were just friends... it would be a joke. The people of Great Zhou wouldn't accept it at all.
The Great Zhou Emperor reassured her, "Don't overthink it. Once Young Master Ye recovers, go and have a good talk with him."
Zhou Fan nodded slightly. "Okay."
***
Ye Guan had recovered, and his injuries were almost fully healed. He was sitting cross-legged on a large boulder with Ao Qianqian beside him.
Ao Qianqian was also badly hurt in the battle. Fortunately, he could share the resources of the Divine Tree of Nature and the Life Force Heart with her.
After a while, Ye Guan opened his eyes slowly and stood up. He took a deep breath and stretched, making his bones crack. Looking down at his body, Ye Guan smiled wryly. Every time his fleshy body was destroyed, he would rebuild it and it was akin to starting over from scratch.
It was so painful—both physically and mentally.
A thought jumped into his mind, and Ye Guan turned to Ao Qianqian. Thankfully, she was fine.
At that moment, Ao Qianqian also opened her eyes.
Ye Guan walked over to her and gently asked, "Fully recovered?"
"Yes." Ao Qianqian nodded and touched Ye Guan's body. "Your body..."
Ye Guan replied, "I'll have to rebuild it."
Ao Qianqian took his hand. "I'll help you."
"Alright." Ye Guan held her hand in return and smiled.
Rebuilding his body wouldn't be easy, but he was confident.
Suddenly, he asked, "Master Pagoda, was it Great Zhou or someone else who saved me at the beginning?"
Little Pagoda replied, "It was your father."
"My father was here?" exclaimed Ye Guan in surprise.
Little Pagoda replied, "Yes."
"Then why did he leave?"
"Maybe you're not that important to him."
Ye Guan's expression froze. Master Pagoda has become strange after getting scolded by Aunt Qingqing.
Thinking of something, Ye Guan pulled Ao Qianqian to the Immortal Dao Tree. The tree had fully grown; its canopy was vast and magnificent. Twenty-nine fruits had ripened as well.
Dao Fruits! Seeing the fruits, Ye Guan's eyes sparkled with excitement. These were incredibly valuable.
Fortunately, the Immortal Dao Tree was inside the tiny pagoda. If it were outside, it wouldn't have grown so quickly.
The only downside was that he had used almost all his spiritual resources to nurture the tree. But it was worth it!
Ye Guan opened his palm, and two Dao Fruits fell from the tree, transforming into rays of light that landed in his hand.
He led Ao Qianqian into the Immortal Dao Tree, and the latter's face turned red...
Ye Guan used his sword domain to isolate the tree.
"Mmm~"
"Ah~"
"Are you thinking about another woman?"
"How could I?"
"Then why are you holding back..."
"Aaah~!"
