Chapter 351: Youre Homeless Now

Chapter 351: You're Homeless Now

Jingchen stood up upon Sovereign Mang's departure. His gaze was cold as he said, “Get ready. In three days, we'll attack the Guanxuan Universe.”

Zhan Shi was confused, “In three days? Why?”

Jingchen smiled and explained, “It's a courtesy.”

He then looked to a Great Destiny Sovereign beside him and said, “Sovereign Gu, go to the Guanxuan Academy and tell them that we're going to spare them if they surrender to us. Otherwise, we'll annihilate the Guanxuan Sovereign."

Sovereign Gu nodded slightly before turning around to leave.

Zhan Shi said solemnly, “I feel like they won't surrender to us.”

Jingchen chuckled and said, "The Battle Sovereign will be ready to fight in three days.”

Zhan Shi was shocked. “He... he has recovered?”

Jingchen nodded. “More or less.”

“Victory is ours, then,” Zhan Shi remarked.

...

Sect Master Wu Xuan of the Martial Sect was walking with a young man just outside the Martial Sect. The young man was none other than Tian He—the youngest and most talented swordsman of the Martial Sect.

Wu Xuan suddenly said, “Tian He, you are no longer our sect’s disciple.”

Tian He was shocked. “W-what do you mean by that... Sect Master?”

Wu Xuan muttered, "The Eternal Civilization's return was supposed to be a great thing, and we could certainly leave this place and explore the vast expanse outside so long as we follow him. It also means that we will be able to live in a world rich with resources and escape this barren world."

Wu Xuan shook his head slightly and said, "But I think that the Eternal Sovereign is too arrogant... He looks down on everyone aside from the Great Daoist Brush Master. He thinks everyone else is insignificant aside from him and the Great Daoist Brush Master.

"His attitude will soon bite him back, and everyone will suffer with him. I'm afraid that following him will do you more harm than good."

Tian He said in a deep voice, "Sect Master, I don't want to leave the Martial Sect."

Wu Xuan sounded solemn as he said, "We can't place all our chips on the Eternal Sovereign. If something happens to the Martial Sect in the future, our legacy will live on with you. That's why I want you to leave."

"I—" Tian He opened his mouth to speak.

However, Wu Xuan said fiercely, "Leave!"

Tian He clenched his fists.

Wu Xuan's expression became complicated as he sighed under his breath.

“You are our last ray of hope. Do you understand?”

With that, he turned around and left.

...

Ye Guan was still eating Erya's knuckle sandwiches as usual. He had gone all out a few times against Erya. He had even condensed the combined power of sixty Heavenrends in one sword move and emblazoned it with his Sword Dao, but he still failed to inflict even a scratch on Erya's fleshly body.

She stood unmoving, akin to a stone statue.

Ye Guan felt defeated and depressed. He felt like his efforts so far had been worthless. However, his attitude quickly changed upon realizing that he had been fighting Erya—someone who was a part of his grandfather's generation.

In comparison, he was just eighteen years old. In other words, it was perfectly normal that he had been eating her knuckle sandwiches rather than the other way around. Ye Guan felt speechless at the realization; it seemed that he had forgotten his place.

However, it wasn't like Ye Guan had gained absolutely nothing throughout his sparring with Erya. He had discovered that his endurance had improved massively, and he could now eat a few of her knuckle sandwiches without getting blasted away.

Of course, Erya wasn't using her full power against him.

It also had to be known that Ye Guan was now capable of executing multiple Heavenrends at once and emblazoning it with seventy layers of his Sword Dao at the same time.

It was an attack that Ordinary Great Sovereigns would not be able to withstand.

Swoosh!

Chief An You suddenly appeared next to Ye Guan.

He bowed respectfully and said, “Young Master, the Eternal World has sent a representative over to us.”

Eternal World.

Ye Guan frowned. “For what?”

Chief An You responded, “They want us to surrender to them.”

Ye Guan was momentarily stunned, but he soon smiled and said, “Let’s go.”

With that, he disappeared with Chief An You.

Erya saw that and said, “Little White, we should go there as well.”

She then disappeared along with Little White.

Sovereign Gu's hands were behind his back as he looked down at the Xuzhen Holy Hall.

Ye Guan suddenly appeared in front of Sovereign Gu.

Sovereign Gu looked at Ye Guan and said, “Surrender or die. Choose!”

Ye Guan smiled and suggested, “Shall we exchange blows first?”

Sovereign Gu frowned slightly and was about to attack, but he seemed to have recalled something, so he shook his head and said, “Fighting you is meaningless.”

He stood nothing to gain if he won, but if he lost, he would become a laughingstock.

Ye Guan was slightly disappointed that Sovereign Gu didn't fall for his provocation. He had grown a lot stronger and wanted to fight someone to measure his strength, but Sovereign Gu was unwilling to accept his challenge.

Ye Guan was about to say something, but Sovereign Gu spoke once again, "You have three days. If the Guanxuan Universe is unwilling to surrender, the Guanxuan Universe will vanish off the face of the vast expanse."

With that, he turned into a ray of white light that disappeared into the starry sky.

Three days? Ye Guan furrowed his brows, deeply puzzled. What's up with the delay?

Just then, Nalan Jia appeared next to Ye Guan.

She looked into the distance and asked, "What do you think?"

Ye Guan replied, "They're buying time for something."

Nalan Jia nodded and looked at Ye Guan. "Go to the Chaotic Star World!"

Ye Guan was surprised.

Nalan Jia explained, "The battlefield can't be the Xuzhen World!"

Ye Guan pondered for a moment, and then he looked up at the starry sky.

A woman was standing quietly in the stillness of the void.

She was none other than An Nanjing.

Ye Guan appeared beside An Nanjing and asked, "Senior, what do you think?"

"Let's go to the Chaotic Star World," she replied.

Ye Guan smiled. "All right!"

An Nanjing suddenly shouted, "Miss Niannian!"

Hum!

A resonant sword hum echoed from the depths of the starry sky.

Moments later, Mu Niannian appeared. She was dressed in a green robe and was holding a sword that exuded an ethereal aura.

Mu Niannian sized up Ye Guan and chuckled. "Little guy, your rate of improvement is astonishing."

Ye Guan smiled and said, "It's all thanks to Lady Erya."

"That's right!" Erya exclaimed. She walked over to Ye Guan with Little White on her shoulder. She licked her candied hawthorn and said, "Under my guidance, little grandson... Little Guan's strength improved dramatically.

"He has grown strong enough to eat three of my knuckle sandwiches!"

Ye Guan smiled wryly and shook his head.

Mu Niannian also smiled, "Lady Erya, we are going to fight. Want to join us?"

Erya was about to agree, but she seemed to have recalled something as she turned to An Nanjing.

It seemed that she needed An Nanjing's approval to fight.

An Nanjing nodded lightly and said, "Let's go together."

Erya grinned. "Great!"

Ye Guan looked at An Nanjing and asked, “Just us?”

An Nanjing nodded. “Just us!”

Ye Guan hesitated before saying, “Are we more than enough?”

“Indeed, we are quite few in numbers,” An Nanjing admitted.

Ye Guan was confused.

He was about to speak when An Nanjing called out, “Lady Weiran!”

Boom!

A powerful aura burst out underneath them and rushed to the skies. Soon, a woman appeared in front of them, and she was none other than Zhuang Weiran.

Zhuang Weiran was wearing a long white dress, and she looked both tranquil and serene. A painted polearm was in her hand.

An Nanjing nodded at Zhuang Weiran before calling out once more, "Sky Maiden!"

Boom!

An oppressive aura descended upon them, and a woman walked out leisurely from the depths of the starry sky to appear in front of the group in the blink of an eye.

She was the Nether Palace's Sky Maiden.

An Nanjing looked at Ye Guan and said, "We should be enough!"

Ye Guan grinned and replied, "All right!"

"We have a teleportation array," Nalan Jia suddenly said. She turned to look at somewhere and called out, "Chief An You."

Chief An You appeared, and he opened his palm. A golden light flew out of his palm, and it soon transformed into a massive teleportation array that landed in front of everyone.

Nalan Jia said, "I've already ordered someone to connect the nodes nearest to the Chaotic Star World to the Guanxuan Universe. Our people can go to the Chaotic Star World at any time."

"Let's go, then," Ye Guan said. He started walking toward the teleportation array, but he came to a halt after just a few steps. Nalan Jia was walking next to him, and he stared wide-eyed at her.

"You..."

Nalan Jia blinked and said, "I'm going with you."

Ye Guan smiled wryly and said, "Little Jia, you need to protect the academy."

Nalan Jia said seriously, "I'll be helpful."

Ye Guan was about to say something when An Nanjing chimed in, "Let her go with us!"

Ye Guan was puzzled.

Nalan Jia had never really gotten the chance to cultivate, as she was too busy dealing with the administrative affairs of the Guanxuan Academy. In other words, she was too weak to fight against the supreme elites of the Eternal World.

Nalan Jia glared at Ye Guan and asked, "Are you underestimating me?"

Ye Guan had no idea what to say, but he suddenly recalled something and asked, "Wait, is it because you've learned how to use the items inside the cloth sachet?"

"Yep. I like how quick-witted you are," Nalan Jia said with a chuckle.

Ye Guan chuckled and pulled Nalan Jia into the teleportation array.

Soon, the teleportation array whisked them away to the Chaotic Star World.

Jingchen and the others were currently in the middle of planning their attack on the Guanxuan Universe inside the Martial Sect's great hall. All of a sudden, an old man appeared in the great hall and said in a deep voice, "The Guanxuan Universe is here!"

Jingchen frowned. "They're here?"

The old man nodded and said, "Yes, they're at the entrance of the Chaotic Star World."

Jingchen squinted his eyes, "How many are here?"

The elder spoke gravely, "There are just a handful of them."

"A handful?" Jingchen and the others frowned, looking doubtful.

Zhan Shi suddenly said, "Let's go and see!"

Jingchen nodded, and they disappeared from the great hall.

Jingchen soon appeared in front of Ye Guan with a group of Great Destiny Sovereigns.

He smiled at Ye Guan and said, "Young Master Ye, are you here to surrender?"

Ye Guan pondered for a moment before replying, "There is no enmity between the Eternal World and the Guanxuan Universe, so why have you decided to attack us?"

Jingchen stared in astonishment at Ye Guan. After a while, he chuckled and replied, "Young Master Ye, your naivety is amusing to me. We're living in a society where the strong are respected. The strong takes all, and the weak can only bow down to the strong.

"Can you not comprehend such a simple law?"

Ye Guan stared deeply at Jingchen, but he remained quiet.

Jingchen continued, "There is indeed no enmity between us, but does that matter? We want the Guanxuan Universe’s territory and your divine items. You won't give them up willingly, so we're left with no choice."

Ye Guan remained quiet.

Jingchen was about to speak once again when Zhan Shi exclaimed, "Something's off!"

Jingchen frowned, and his mouth fluttered open to speak, but a terrifying aura blossomed to life behind him. He looked back and saw a mushroom cloud—an expansive mushroom cloud that covered the entire Chaotic Star World.

Jingchen and the others froze.

Ye Guan finally said, “You're homeless now.”

Everyone had no idea what to say.

Somewhere above the Chaotic Star World, Nalan Jia smiled softly while staring at the mushroom cloud. She turned around and was about to leave when a young woman appeared in front of her.

The young woman was dressed in white with a head full of white hair.

Nalan Jia looked at her without saying anything, but she was familiar with her.

She was none other than Nangong Xue!
