Chapter 364: Kill The Plain Skirt Lady

Cirou had departed for the Eternal World.

Ye Guan’s face darkened. She was definitely up to something. Otherwise, there was no reason for her to visit the Eternal World.

Mu Niannian suddenly said, "Let’s just ignore her."

Ye Guan turned to look at Mu Niannian.

Seeing the confusion on Ye Guan's face, Mu Niannian decided to explain, "There are two important things that we have to do first before anything else."

"Aunt Mu, what are your plans?"

"As far as we know, the Eternal Sovereign is currently at the Divine Ruins. He's in the middle of unsealing those whom the Great Daoist Brush Master had sealed during the Divine Dao Civilization era. In return, they would have to do his bidding for an unknown amount of time.

"For example, that Cosmic Spirit... Shen Yijin, was it? Anyway, the Eternal Sovereign had unsealed him on the condition that he would serve the Eternal Civilization."

"If we can unseal those people, why can't we do the same?" Ye Guan asked, "I have the Great Daoist Brush Master's Dao Imprint, so I can definitely unseal those people much faster than him."

"Yep, that's right." Mu Niannian said with a smile. "You're really clever.

She was getting more and more fond of Ye Guan the more she talked to him. He had truly inherited his parents' intelligence.

"The second thing is for me to become even stronger, I reckon?" Ye Guan asked.

"Yes." Mu Niannian nodded and said, "Your Sword Dao is good enough, but your cultivation base and fleshly body are too weak. We have to think of a way to help you improve those two as soon as possible. For that, we'll go to the Divine Ruins!"

"All right." Ye Guan nodded.

"We're not going there by ourselves," Mu Niannian said and shattered a talisman.

The spacetime a few meters away from Ye Guan caved in, and a spacetime rift was created. Soon, a girl walked out of the rift in a hurry. The girl was Erya, and Little White was sitting on her shoulder.

Ye Guan was stunned upon seeing them.

"They're going to be really helpful," Mu Niannian said with a smile.

As usual, Erya was eating a candied hawthorn. She paused to look at Ye Guan and said, "You should always bring us with you whenever you go out to play. Do you understand?"

Little White pointed at herself and Erya with her claws.

Ye Guan smiled wryly and agreed. "Okay..."

Mu Niannian saw that and smiled.

"Let’s go," she said. Moments later, the four vanished into thin air.

Nalan Jia, Li Banzhi, An Nanjing, and quite a few supreme elites were protecting the Guanxuan Universe at the moment, so Ye Guan wasn't worried about it at all. In fact, he was more worried about himself than the Guanxuan Universe.

After all, he was the weakest of them all!

Meanwhile, Ye An had gone somewhere else to train. Ye Guan had no idea where she was at the moment, but he learned that Ye An had decided to seek refuge with some of their relatives.

Ye Guan started to get a bit curious if he had more powerful relatives.

...

Cirou was sitting opposite Jingchen.

The Eternal Sovereign was not around, so Jingchen was still overseeing all the matters in the Eternal World in the meantime.

Zhan Shi was present, and he was staring quietly at Cirou.

They didn't dare to underestimate the True Universe.

The True Universe was stronger than the Guanxuan Universe, after all.

Cirou smiled and said, "I heard that the Eternal Civilization’s attack on the Guanxuan Universe has failed. Is it true?"

Zhan Shi and Jingchen's faces darkened.

Jingchen said in a cold voice, "Lady Cirou, did you come here to gloat?"

Cirou laughed and said, "I’m not that free to do something like that. I'm here with the goal to establish an alliance with the Eternal Civilization."

An alliance?

Zhan Shi and Jingchen frowned.

Cirou explained, "The two of you must’ve investigated the True Universe and the Guanxuan Universe. You should know then that there's a huge enmity between both our universes, and we’ve been fighting for millions of years.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend, so I think that we should establish an alliance for the sake of defeating a common enemy. What do you guys think?"

Jingchen and Zhan Shi exchanged looks. They had indeed investigated the True Universe and the Guanxuan Universe, and they came to realize that both universes were each other's archnemesis.

There was even this huge battle between them that had concluded recently.

Jingchen asked in a low voice, "Lady Cirou, how do you propose that we work together?"

The Eternal Civilization had sustained heavy losses this time. It wasn't a bad thing to work together with the True Universe.

Cirou said in a serious tone, "The strongest person in the Guanxuan Universe is that plain-skirt lady from Milky Way. She killed a Great Destiny Sovereign with just a mere glance in the Chaotic Star World."

"Anyway, have you guys investigated her yet?"

Jingchen nodded, and his expression was solemn as she said, "Yes, but we don't know exactly just how strong she is. However, we've sent people to Milky Way, and we should hear from them soon."

"She's the strongest supreme elite of the Guanxuan Universe," Cirou said.

Jingchen looked at her, bewildered. "The strongest?"

"Yes." Cirou nodded and said, "She's extremely strong. Our investigations told us that she's a Cosmic Spirit born during a distant era."

Cosmic Spirit?

Jingchen’s expression turned heavy as he remarked, "No wonder she's so strong. I didn't think that the Guanxuan Universe actually has a Cosmic Spirit among their ranks."

"What about this?" Cirou said, "The True Universe will deal with the plain-skirt lady and your Eternal Civilization will deal with the Guanxuan Universe."

Jingchen and Zhan Shi looked at each other, slightly shocked.

"The plain-skirt lady is too strong," Cirou explained, "I reckon that we have to send out at least ten Great Destiny Sovereigns and ten Great Time Sovereigns to kill her. The Eternal Civilization's losses must have been huge, so I think it's better if you give that role to the True Universe."

Jingchen frowned, and he quickly made a counteroffer. "Lady Cirou, how about you let us deal with her, and the True Universe will deal with the Guanxuan Universe?"

Cirou frowned.

"That's right, Lady Cirou," Zhan Shi quickly added, "The Eternal Civilization has many supreme elites, but our overall numbers still can't compare to your True Universe. I think we're better suited to deal with the plain-skirt lady."

Cirou fell silent, and her expression turned ugly.

Zhan Shi and Jingchen scoffed in their hearts. The True Universe is truly devious, leaving us to fight more people... She's shameless, too. She actually dared to make such a request.

Cirou said in a low voice, "The plain-skirt lady is truly strong; you won’t be able to kill her with a small number of supreme elites. I truly believe that it is better for the True Universe to deal with her; this suggestion is for your own good..."

"Lady Cirou!" Jingchen said, "That woman must be extremely strong, but it's not like the Eternal Civilization has a shortage of supreme elites. Rest assured, we'll bring her head to you; you just have to agree to our suggestion!"

Cirou’s face turned gloomy. Obviously, she didn't want to give up. She wanted to say something, but Jingchen continued. "Lady Cirou, you keep objecting to my words. Is it perhaps because you have an ulterior motive?"

"What?" Cirou was furious. "Do you really think that I'm that kind of person? I'm here to represent the True Universe, and we're sincere in our proposal. How dare you accuse us of having an ulterior motive? You can doubt the True Universe, but you should not doubt my character."

Jingchen scoffed at Cirou's remark, but he didn't say anything in response.

Cirou continued in a cold voice, "Fine. Let the True Universe deal with the Guanxuan Universe, and the Eternal Civilization can deal with the plain-skirt lady, but let me remind you again that she is extremely strong, and you can’t defeat her with numbers. If you want to kill her, you’d better give it your all.

"Send all your supreme elites out and strive to kill her with a single blow!"

"You didn't have to say that, Lady Cirou," Jingchen replied, "How about the True Universe? Are you really confident that you can defeat the Guanxuan Universe?"

Cirou chuckled and asked, "Do we look weak in your eyes?"

Jingchen said in a low voice, "I didn't mean it that way. It’s just that the Guanxuan Universe has quite a few supreme elites, and they're pretty strong..."

"You don’t have to worry about that. We're more worried about the plain-skirt lady than the Guanxuan Universe. The sword that the woman in the white skirt had wielded against you on that day was her sword. It belongs to her.

"Do you know the identity of that sword?"

Zhan Shi and Jingchen shook their heads.

"The sword's name is the Path Sword, and it was forged by the Great Daoist Brush Master!"

Jingchen was shocked. "The Great Daoist Brush Master?"

"Yes. And that's exactly why it's so strong."

"Does that mean she's weaker than the Great Daoist Brush Master?"

"Of course, how could there be anyone stronger than the Great Daoist Brush Master?"

"I guess that makes sense."

"She's nowhere near as powerful as the Great Daoist Brush Master, but we shouldn’t underestimate her, especially that sword of hers. Tell your men who are on their way to Milky Way to be careful of that sword."

Jingchen calmly said, "Lady Cirou, rest assured. We'll definitely kill the plain-skirt lady!"

"In that case, I wish us a pleasant cooperation, then. Farewell," Cirou said before turning around to leave.

She had yet to exit the great hall when Jingchen suddenly called out to her and asked, "When do we make our move?"

"What's the point in delaying such matters?" Cirou laughed and said, "Do it now!"

She opened her hand, and a map appeared in front of both of them.

"Teleportation hubs connected to Milky Way are marked on this map. The True Universe built those teleportation hubs, and the Eternal Civilization may use them free of charge from now on."

After saying that, she turned around once more and disappeared.

Jingchen and Zhan Shi frowned.

Zhan Shi asked, "What do you think? Was she sincere?"

Jingchen's eyes narrowed. Things had developed so fast that it was suspicious.

Just then, an old man appeared in the great hall. He bowed deeply and said, "I’ve just received news that the True Universe has started mobilizing their forces. Their destination is the Xuzhen Battlefield. They've even mobilized their Divine Dusk Guards and their Expedition Army!"

Zhan Shi and Jingchen stared at each other for a while.

Jingchen eventually remarked, "It seems they were sincere."

Zhan Shi nodded and said, "The True Universe's enmity against the Guanxuan Universe runs deep, so it makes sense that they want to annihilate the Guanxuan Universe as soon as possible. Since that’s the case..."

Zhan Shi trailed off and stared deeply at Jingchen.

Jingchen got the hint and shouted, "Pass down my orders! Summon all of our supreme elites! They must head to Milky Way and kill the plain-skirt lady!"
