BXBX NOVEL Chapter 229: Fight until the Yang Family No Longer Has Any Descendants
An Nanjing calmly asked, “Is there any problem?”
Ye Guan smiled and said, “How could there be any problems? My surname was originally Yang. It’s perfectly reasonable for me to be called Yang Guan.”
An Nanjing’s lips curled up into a smile.
Ye Guan smiled as well. He was on good terms with the Yang Family.
The entire Yang Family came to help him when he was in trouble. He truly couldn’t be more grateful for their help. As for the animosity between his father and grandfather, Ye Guan felt that there was no need for him to be involved.
An Nanjing waved her sleeve.
Boom!
A spacetime tunnel manifested with a loud bang not too far away from them.
“Let’s go,” said An Nanjing. She led Ye Guan into the spacetime tunnel, and the spacetime tunnel closed as their figures disappeared into it
…
Nalan Jia was currently under a lot of pressure. Li Banzhi was teaching her how to manage the affairs of both the Guanxuan Academy and the Immortal Treasures Pavilion. Fortunately, the foundation of the two organizations was deep. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to manage them.
Aside from Li Banzhi and the Committee members, there was someone else in the Xuzhen Holy Hall. She was Ye Guanzhi. Ye Guanzhi had become a grand elder of the Guanxuan Committee, and she was the youngest Committee grand elder in history.
Everyone moved about busily in the Xuzhen Holy Hall.
Li Banzhi turned to Nalan Jia and said, “We’ve suppressed the Primordial Clan. How should we deal with them?”
Nalan Jia thought about it before asking, “Did the entire clan rebel?”
“Some did not participate in the rebellion,” replied Li Banzhi.
Nalan Jia was silent.
Li Banzhi spoke softly, “In the past, the Primordial Clan once fought for their lives for the Guanxuan Universe. Many of their ancestors perished at the Xuzhen Battlefield…”
Nalan Jia nodded slightly and said, “The participants of the rebellion are to be killed, but those who didn’t participate in the rebellion shall be spared.”
“All right!” Li Banzhi smiled. She then wrote a line of words on the memorial in front of her and handed it over to Old Zhang. However, she abruptly froze just as her hand reached out to Old Zhang.
Old Zhang had become one of the Guanxuan Committee’s grand elders. It took him a long time—a million years, to be exact, but he was finally a grand elder.
“I forgot that it’s no longer appropriate of me to ask you to do something like this,” said Li Banzhi with a smile.
“What are you talking about?” Old Zhang smiled and accepted the memorial. ”Just let me do it as usual.”
With that, Old Zhang left the hall with the memorial.
Li Banzhi turned toward Nalan Jia and asked, “Are you tired?”
Nalan Jia was quiet for quite a while before she replied, “We’re only dealing with the matters concerning the Guanxuan Universe, while Little Guan is facing the entire True Universe by himself, so how can we afford to get tired?”
Li Banzhi was silent. That’s right! The pressure on Ye Guan’s shoulder was heavier than on everyone else.
“We are much weaker than the True Universe,” said Ye Guanzhi before suggesting, “We have to take this opportunity to groom powerful cultivators.”
“We’ve been trying our best, but the Immortal Treasures Pavilion’s resources just can’t compare to the True Universe’s resources,” said Li Banzhi. “Their policies are better as well, especially their policy about allowing denizens to cultivate for free as long as they are talented enough, which means that it’s easy for them to groom talents.
“It’s exactly because of their system that they’ve grown tremendously powerful over the years.”
Their denizens can cultivate for free. Ye Guanzhi was silent. There’s no way the Guanxuan Universe can afford something like that, even with the help of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion. We might also encounter many issues.
The policy was great, but crooks could easily take advantage of it. A bit of corruption could also mean the collapse of the entire policy, as the Immortal Treasures Pavilion didn’t have much headroom when it came to policies.
“I did some research about that,” said Li Banzhi. “I discovered that their constant expansion and invasion of worlds are the reasons that allowed them to maintain such a policy. Corruption and internal strife are also quelled as everyone can profit at the expense of the other worlds.
“In addition, the True God is just too strong of a deterrence, which makes their Committee sturdier and more united than the Committee of the many other worlds out there.”
The True Universe was their enemy, so Li Banzhi and the others had never underestimated them. They decided to do some research on their enemies, as it was also a type of confronting one’s enemies head-on.
Nalan Jia and Ye Guanzhi were silent, but their grim expressions made their feelings clear.
Li Banzhi stared alternatingly between Nalan Jia and Ye Guanzhi before saying, “There are some things that you two should know. The True God has three invincible groups beneath her banner, and one of them is her personal guards called the Jin Guards.
“They are made up of the most powerful swordsmen of the True Universe. Despite being her personal guards, the Jin Guards would never leave the True God Hall, even when the True God is away somewhere.”
Li Banzhi paused before continuing. “Many years ago, Lady Niannian and Little Xuan once fought their way to the True God Hall, and they exchanged blows with the Jin Guards.”
Ye Guanzhi hurriedly asked, “What happened?”
Li Banzhi muttered, “They were stopped just before they could enter the hall...”
The two girls were shocked.
Li Banzhi spoke softly, “Little Xuan’s Mad Demon Bloodline mutated, and Little Pagoda was severely injured. The Qingxuan sword fell into a deep sleep, and even Boundless Master was defeated. Despite that, they still couldn’t enter the True God Hall…”
Nalan Jia and Ye Guanzhi exchanged shocked looks.
Even the Sword Master and Mu Niannian couldn’t infiltrate True God Hall.
The two could only imagine just how terrifying the True God’s Jin Guards were as enemies.
“There are two more groups aside from the Jin Guards,” Li Banzhi said. “One of them is the Divine Dusk Guards. They’re in charge of suppressing rebellions. From what I know, they’re still suppressing three mighty universes—the Panwu Universe, the Wujian Universe, and the Heaven Seizing Universe.”
“We never really fought them, so we have no idea of their prowess,” said Li Banzhi.
Ye Guanzhi asked, “What about the last group?”
Li Banzhi’s expression grew solemn. “The Expedition Army.”
Ye Guanzhi’s brows furrowed. “The Expedition Army?”
Li Banzhi nodded and explained, “The Expedition Army is the conqueror of universes, and they were the ones who had conquered more than half of the True Universe’s current territory.
“The Expedition Army was the one who had conquered the Wujian Universe, and they fought against millions of Wujian Universe cultivators. According to historical records, the Expedition Army defeated the universe all by itself.
“They killed millions of Wujian Universe denizens. The Wujian suffered a loss that was so heavy that they couldn’t fight back against the True Universe, even if they wanted to, so they had to surrender in the end.”
Li Banzhi paused to glance at Nalan Jia and Ye Guanzhi before continuing. “There was this supreme elite from the Wujian Universe. If my memories are serving me correctly, he was known as Sovereign Qing.
”He grew famous at a young age, and he became invincible in his world at just thirty years old. He subsequently killed the Cosmic Spirit of the Wujian Universe less than thirty years later, and then he united the tens of thousands of powerful clans throughout the Wujian Universe beneath his banner. He then became known as Sovereign Qing.”
Li Banzhi shook her head and said, “Despite his incredible might, the True God still managed to kill him. In addition, the Expedition Army annihilated the tens of thousands of clans that had united underneath his banner.
“The slaughter at the time was so extensive, and so many people had perished that the Wujian Universe’s earth is still stained red from the blood of the Wujian Universe’s people.”
Ye Guanzhi and Nalan Jia were silent with somber expressions.
“I didn’t tell you all these to scare you.” Li Banzhi stared intently at the two girls. “I just want you to understand just how powerful the True Universe truly is.”
Li Banzhi looked out of the hall and said softly, “We will have to fight the True Universe for a long time. Little Xuan had also said that the Guanxuan Universe would have to keep on fighting. If the long war can’t be ended during this generation, then the next generation will attempt to end the war.
”We’ll fight until the Yang Family no longer has any descendants.”
Ye Guanzhi and Nalan Jia were silent.
The atmosphere in the hall grew solemn.
…
A man in black hovered quietly above the Xuzhen Battlefield.
A dim light could be seen on his glabella. Blood stained the corners of his lips, and he looked pale.
He looked exhausted, but it wasn’t strange as he was fighting the young talents of the True Universe by himself.
A young man in white hovered not too far away from him. The young man calmly stared at Ye Qing.
Ye Qing suddenly grinned. “Come!”
Crackle!
Ye Qing turned into a lightning bolt that made a beeline for the young man. Lightning flash and thunder echoed across the Xuzhen Battlefield. The spacetime itself would shatter every time a lightning bolt passed through them.
The young man in white’s eyes narrowed at the oncoming lightning bolt.
He abruptly turned into a beam of white light and vanished.
Boom!
The lightning bolt and beam of white light collided in mid-air.
The powerful collision sent the two men flying away.
Lightning crackled about Ye Qing’s figure as he retreated.
The young man in white recovered in mid-air. He stretched his right hand out, and a banner appeared in his hand. The banner expanded in the air, growing to over ten thousand meters. The banner was colored black, and it was emblazoned with mysterious, inscrutable words.
The young man in white put his hands together and chanted in an obscure language. All of a sudden, the banner exuded an evil aura. The spacetime around the banner and the young man quivered incessantly, seemingly agitated.
Cao Bai standing behind Ye Qing grew solemn at the sight.
Ye Qing stretched out both of his hands. Lightning bolts rained down on Ye Qing, and a yellow pillar of light representing the power of earth shot up toward Ye Qing.
The yellow pillar of light was a concentrated Great Earth Force.
The five elements converged on Ye Qing, and his aura grew frantically.
The young man in white glared murderously at Ye Qing. He then pointed at the latter and shouted, “Die!”
Boom!
The banner trembled, and a myriad of evil spirits shot out of it.
The battlefield instantly grew dim as evil spirits pervaded the skies.
Cao Bai’s face grew even darker.
Meanwhile, Ye Qing stomped with his right foot, shattering spacetime as he turned into a lightning bolt that rushed toward the oncoming wave of evil spirits.
Boom!
The intense power of Laws swept across the battlefield as Ye Qing collided with the evil spirits.
The starry skies above the Xuzhen World quivered upon impact.
Miserable cries filled the air, and the young man in white bellowed, “Die!”
Bam!
The giant banner emitted a crimson light, and blood ghosts could be seen within the crimson light.
Ye Qing howled and punched out.
A thousand-meter lightning bolt burst out of his fist.
Crackle!
The blood ghosts were incinerated, and the giant banner was ripped apart.
The young man in white’s expression turned sinister at the sight. He transformed into a beam of white light before rushing toward Ye Qing.
Boom!
A deafening explosion rocketed across the battlefield as Ye Qing and the young man in white frantically retreated. A gap of a few hundred meters appeared between them.
Ye Qing opened his hand, and a lightning bolt landed on his palm.
The Great Earth Force started to converge on him as well.
The young man in white stared at Ye Qing as blood flowed down the corners of his mouth. The young man in white remained silent for a while before he turned around to leave. He had decided to give up. He had zero chance of defeating Ye Qing.
Moreover, he had come here to kill Ye Guan, and Ye Guan was apparently stronger than the man in front of him. He wasn’t foolish enough to keep on fighting when he had zero chance of winning. The young man in white soon disappeared into the horizon.
Meanwhile, blood incessantly leaked out of Ye Qing’s lips. His fight against the young man in white just now was his tenth battle for the day.
An ancient-sounding voice suddenly echoed in his head. “Can you still take it?”
Ye Qing took a deep breath and said, “Yes!”
The ancient-sounding voice asked, “Is it worth it?”
Ye Qing was slightly stunned. “What do you mean, Teacher?”
The ancient-sounding voice explained, “The young talents you’re fighting are getting stronger and stronger. At this rate, you’ll die.”
Ye Qing smiled without saying anything.
The ancient-sounding voice continued. “You’re not supposed to do something like this.”
Ye Qing grinned and said, “Teacher, Ye Guan is my brother. Who will help him during his time of need if not his brother?”
The ancient-sounding voice sighed softly and said, “You’re going to die. You still haven’t faced the cream-of-the-crop talents of the True Universe. You—”
Ye Qing suddenly looked up. A rift in spacetime had manifested overhead, and a young talent of the True Universe emerged from it.
Ye Qing clenched his fists and said softly, “In my heart, he’s not the Young Master of the Guanxuan Universe. He’s the heir of our Ye Clan, and he’s my brother. Even if I die fighting for him, I will have no regrets.”
A young man appeared in front of Ye Qing and asked, “Where is Ye Guan?”
“Hahaha!” Ye Qing boisterously laughed and said, “If you want to challenge my brother, you will have to kill me first. Come here!”
Ye Qing wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth and charged out.
The worst-case scenario was just death. Why would he be afraid of death?
