Seeing Qing Yer, the Wise Master's face immediately darkened. Qing Yer was Qing Lie's grandfather. Now that Qing Lie had fallen, there was no way Qing Yer would let this off easily.
Qing Yer walked into the grand hall, and his face was icy as he said, "Qing Lie was killed, and several of our Primordial Spirit Guards have perished. When has our Primordial Spirit clan ever suffered such a humiliation?"
The Wise Master said solemnly, "Elder Qing Yer, I'm sure Elder Qing Lie's murderer is an incredibly powerful expert. We need to carefully consider our next steps..."
"Yes," Spirit Lord Sifa said, nodding in agreement. "There's definitely something amiss here. We should contact the clan leader first..."
Qing Yer sneered, "Cowards."
"Elder Qing Yer," the Wise Master said with a grim expression, "I'm sure you are aware of Elder Qing Lie's strength. If he didn't want to fight, even several peak eighty percent divinity cultivators would not be able to stop him from running away. So the fact that he died means that his murderer must be a cultivator whose divinity is beyond eighty percent."
Qing Yer's eyes narrowed as he said, "A cultivator with ninety percent divinity?"
The Wise Master was silent. To be honest, he was also apprehensive. Is Ye Guan's backer truly a supreme elite with ninety percent divinity?
If their assumption was right, then it would be a major problem. Even the Primordial Spirit Clan couldn't afford to underestimate a supreme elite with ninety percent divinity.
Qing Yer calmed down. He knew that even he had to treat a ninety percent divinity elite with caution. To make matters worse, he knew that he wasn't strong enough to defeat such an expert. After all, he was just a supreme elite with eighty percent divinity. He stood no chance against a supreme elite with ninety percent divinity.
Seeing Qing Yer calm down, the Wise Master and Spirit Lord Sifa both breathed a sigh of relief. They were afraid that Qing Yer would act impulsively and chase after Ye Guan.
Qing Yer asked, "Do you really think that there's a ninety percent divinity elite standing behind Ye Guan?"
The Wise Master and Spirit Lord Sifa remained silent. They couldn't say for sure.
Qing Yer sneered, "If that's the case, wouldn't our clan know about them?"
The Wise Master's expression was solemn as he said, "Regardless of their divinity level, Ye Guan's backer is undoubtedly formidable. We must not be careless against them."
"Ye Guan has already killed our Grand Elder and Qing Lie. The news about their demise has already spread. If we let him roam freely, what would the vast expanse think of our Primordial Spirit clan?" snapped Qing Yer.
"What if there truly is a ninety percent divinity supreme elite behind Ye Guan?"
Qing Yer revealed a look of disdain as he remarked, "Over the years, only the First God has reached ninety percent divinity. There's no way there's a second one out there. It's absolutely impossible."
"Elder Qing Yer, Ye Guan is already such a monster despite his young age. His backer is definitely an extraordinary figure," the Wise Master said, "Therefore, I suggest we inform the clan leader and let him investigate first."
Spirit Lord Sifa agreed and said, "Elder Qing Yer, our Primordial Spirit Clan has already lost several experts because we were too arrogant, and we ended up underestimating him. If we want to avoid further losses, we must stop underestimating Ye Guan. I agree with the Wise Master; let's inform the clan leader and wait for his return."
Qing Yer was silent.
Finally, the Wise Master said, "I'll go to the Guanxuan Universe to investigate the matter myself."
The unknown sense of danger was growing stronger and stronger, making him increasingly uneasy as time went on, so he decided to investigate things himself.
Qing Yer said, "I'll go with you."
The Wise Master revealed a hesitant look.
Qing Yer grunted and coldly asked, "What? Are you afraid that I'll drag you down?"
The Wise Master shook his head and replied, "Of course not, Elder Qing Yer. I'm just saying that since the clan leader is absent, it's better for you to stay here and oversee the clan."
"What? Are you worried that Ye Guan might attack our Primordial Spirit Clan while we're not here?"
The Wise Master was silent. Knowing Ye Guan's temper, it was indeed a possibility.
"Enough with the nonsense!" Qing Yer snapped and transformed into a beam of light that disappeared into the distant horizon.
"Hurry up and chase after him," Spirit Lord Sifa said with a serious expression. "Elder Qing Yer's temper is volatile, and he might ruin everything."
The Wise Master nodded and disappeared into thin air.
***
Ye Guan followed An You to Guanxuan City. As soon as he arrived, he saw Qin Guan standing on the city wall.
Qin Guan was dressed in a plain cloth shirt and skirt, which made her look very unassuming.
Qin Guan smiled upon seeing Ye Guan.
Ye Guan walked up to her and greeted, "Mother."
Qin Guan ruffled Ye Guan's hair and said, "You've grown quite a bit."
"I'm in the Human Dao Realm now!" Ye Guan grinned.
"Really?" Qin Guan smiled warmly and said, "That's impressive."
Ye Guan laughed heartily.
Just then, Erya and Little White appeared.
Erya was quietly licking a hawthorn candy. Little White flew over to Qin Guan and snuggled up to her. Clearly, Little White was still very fond of Qin Guan, as she often gave Little White fun things to play with.
Qin Guan patted Little White's head and looked at Ye Guan. "Come with me."
With that, Qin Guan led Ye Guan to a starry expanse. A lady in a white robe was standing there with a long spear in hand.
The white-robed lady was none other than An Nanjing.
Erya's expression changed upon seeing An Nanjing. She quietly put away her hawthorn candy and stood ramrod straight with a serious face.
Ye Guan couldn't help but smile and shake his head. Erya's afraid of An Nanjing!
An Nanjing stared at Ye Guan and nodded. "Not bad." ƒreewebɳovel.com

Ye Guan smiled. "Thank you for the compliment, Senior An."
An Nanjing suddenly asked, "Care for a spar?"
"Um—"
An Nanjing cut him off, "Say no more."
An Nanjing shook her arm, and a long spear shot toward Ye Guan like a bolt of lightning.
Ye Guan did not dare to be careless. He pointed at An Nanjing, and a sword made out of sword intent shot out to meet the oncoming spear.
Bang!
The sword intent trembled violently, and Ye Guan was sent flying a thousand meters away.
The moment he came to a halt, a powerful sword intent[1] came to life in front of An Nanjing.
Despite the sudden turn of events, An Nanjing remained calm as if she knew that this would happen.
She raised her spear and slashed out, deflecting the sword intent.
Swoosh!
However, another sword intent was already flying toward her from behind. An Nanjing's expression didn't change as she swung her spear behind her.
Bang!
The sword of intent was deflected once again!
Ye Guan was stunned. How is she defending against my attacks so effortlessly?
Ye Guan found it hard to believe. His Phantom Edge was something that even peak eighty percent divinity cultivators couldn't handle, but An Nanjing was making quick work of it.
It was simply unbelievable!
An Nanjing stared at Ye Guan and asked, "Was that your new sword technique?"
Ye Guan nodded.
"It's passable, " commented An Nanjing.
Passable? Ye Guan's face froze.
An Nanjing calmly asked, "Not satisfied?"
Ye Guan nodded. "I'd like to try again."
Erya and Little White looked away; they couldn't watch any longer.
An Nanjing raised an eyebrow and replied, "Go ahead."
Ye Guan took a step forward, and the Invincible Sword Domain enveloped An Nanjing.
A myriad of swords made out of the Invincible Sword Intent shot out from within the Invincible Sword Domain.
An Nanjing's expression remained unchanged. She lifted her spear and thrust forward, shattering the sword domain.
However, An Nanjing's offense allowed Ye Guan to exploit an opening, and he promptly took advantage of it, sending a myriad of swords toward An Nanjing.
An Nanjing remained calm and swung her spear.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three thrusts were all it took for An Nanjing to dismantle Ye Guan's attacks.
Ye Guan smiled wryly at the sight and replied, "I lost."
Just then, An Nanjing thrust her spear forward.
Bang!
A sword intent was repelled before it could even emerge from a spacetime void.
Ye Guan's expression changed dramatically. "Senior An, you can sense my swords, even though they are hidden in spacetime?"
An Nanjing shook her head and said, "I can't sense them, but I can sense the danger that they radiate."
Ye Guan was taken aback.
At that moment, Qin Guan slowly walked over. "Combat sense. Your Senior An has fought more battles than you've had meals. Your swords are tricky to handle, but they can't beat her instincts. To defeat her, you need raw power—perhaps if your sword is a hundred times stronger than it is right now, you might be able to beat her."
Ye Guan shook his head with a wry smile. If my sword is a hundred times more powerful than it is right now, I'd be able to kill even a peak ninety percent divinity elite with ease.
Qin Guan smiled at Ye Guan's helpless expression. "I've arranged everything in the Time River, the Guanxuan Universe, and the True Universe. Establishing a new order cannot be done in a hurry, as all vested interests have to be balanced properly, and it's a work that requires peak meticulousness, as it's very delicate. Our top priority is stability. We must first solidify our control over the universes and worlds that we govern. In simple terms, we need to lay a strong foundation."
Ye Guan looked at Qin Guan and asked, "Mother, are you leaving?"
Qin Guan nodded slightly and replied, "The path ahead is one you must walk on your own."
Ye Guan fell silent. Qin Guan ruffled his hair again. Just as she was about to speak, Ye Guan smiled and said, "Okay, I can handle it."
Qin Guan smiled as well and said, "I believe you."
Ye Guan nodded and changed the topic, saying, "I should go and visit the Guanxuan Universe again. It's been a long time since I saw the place, even though it's basically my base. I also haven't seen Nalan Jia in ages."
"You should start building your own team. While you can use the people I've selected for you, you should pick your own people, too. They'll be more aligned with your way of doing things, which means that they will be more efficient than any worker out there."
"True." Ye Guan nodded and said, "When are you leaving, Mother?"
"I'll leave once the Primordial Spirit Clan has been dealt with," Qin Guan said, smiling. "Of course, if you want to handle the Primordial Spirit Clan by yourself, then that's fine, too."
"I want to spend more time with you."
"All right, I'll help you deal with the Primordial Spirit Clan before I leave."
Ye Guan suddenly looked at An Nanjing and asked, "Is Senior An leaving as well?"
Qin Guan nodded, "Yes, and it's not just Senior An. The experts of the Yang Family will be leaving, too."
Ye Guan's expression darkened.
"Are you afraid?" Qin Guan asked with a smile.
Ye Guan pondered briefly and asked, "So many universes and worlds will all be under... my control?"
Qin Guan nodded.
Ye Guan sighed and smiled bitterly.
"This is your path to take. If I keep helping you, it won't be your own path anymore."
Ye Guan nodded. "I understand."
Rumble!
Just then, the distant starry skies churned, and two powerful auras swept toward them.
Ye Guan remained silent, realizing that the Primordial Spirit Clan's "true" elites were here.
Qin Guan stared at the approaching Wise Master and Qing Yer. He smiled at them and said, "Surrender or die—make your choice, Primordial Spirit Clan."
Qing Yer. "..."
1. just in case you've misunderstood, Ye Guan is creating swords made out of sword intent here. He's not actually swinging his sword intent lol ?
