I Have A Sword-Chapter 1270: His Backers

The Genesis Daoist Temple!

Tian Chen's expression darkened upon hearing that. His original plan to quietly escort Ye Guan away was now impossible.

As he contemplated on how to handle the situation, a tear suddenly appeared in the fabric of spacetime in the distance.

Moments later, an elderly man stepped out.

The starry skies churned beneath his overwhelmingly powerful aura.

Tian Xing glanced at the approaching elder and smiled faintly. "Ah, it's Envoy Yue."

In the Genesis Daoist Temple, the strongest individual was naturally the legendary Creation God. Then, he was followed by the four Divine Attendants, and then the Envoys.

However, these rankings only represented the general hierarchy of power. The number of hidden experts within the Genesis Daoist Temple was unknown. Of course, every great power had its trump cards, and the Heavenly Tomb Empire was no exception.

Envoy Yue looked at Tian Xing and nodded slightly. "First Prince."

Tian Xing looked at Tian Chen and smiled. "My younger brother here knows the whereabouts of Young Lord Ye."

Envoy Yue turned to Tian Chen and said, "Ninth Highness, I request that you hand him over to me."

Tian Chen remained silent.

Tian Xing chuckled and said, "Ninth Brother, our relationship with the Genesis Daoist Temple has always been amicable. Don't do something that would harm our mutual ties, or Father will hold you accountable."

Just as Tian Chen was about to speak, the tiny pagoda inside his storage ring trembled slightly, and Ye Guan appeared at the scene.

Seeing Ye Guan, Tian Xing immediately began sizing him up. He was quite intrigued by Ye Guan, as there weren't many who could become friends with his brother, let alone someone who was being pursued by the Genesis Daoist Temple.

"Brother Ye!" Tian Chen exclaimed.

Ye Guan glanced at him and smiled. "This is my own affairs; I'll handle it myself."

With that, he turned to look at Envoy Yue and said, "I thought the Divine Attendants would come to find me."

Envoy Yue's eyes narrowed slightly. "You actually know about the Divine Attendants?"

"It seems you're unaware of what happened in the True Universe," replied Ye Guan.

"Interesting." Envoy Yue smiled menacingly. "It appears that you're no ordinary person, after all."

He truly didn't recognize Ye Guan, as he was only in charge of managing the Heavenly Tomb Empire's universe region. He wasn't involved with what was going on in the lower tier universes.

As for those Divine Attendants, they were silent about what happened in the True Universe, as they were little more than cannon fodder in that situation.

Ye Guan turned to Tian Chen and said, "Brother Chen, you should go back."

Tian Chen had already helped him a great deal, and Ye Guan did not want to drag him into further trouble.

However, Tian Chen shook his head.

Ye Guan earnestly said, "Brother Chen, this matter has nothing to do with you. If you get involved, it will harm both you and the forces that support you."

Tian Chen responded in a low voice, "Brother Ye, can you defeat him?"

Ye Guan turned back to look at Envoy Yue. "I can give it a try."

Envoy Yue was not a minor figure. Although he wasn't as strong as the Divine Attendants, he was still a Supreme Ancestor Realm cultivator. If Ye Guan had access to his previous cultivation base, he could easily defeat such a formidable opponent, but now, he could only give it a try.

Tian Chen grinned and said, "Then, Brother Ye, go ahead and give it a try. I'll stand here and watch."

Ye Guan looked at Tian Chen.

However, Tian Chen seemed to know what he was going to say and shook his head. "Brother Ye, you're a swordsman. You shouldn't be so hesitant. Just do it."

Ye Guan laughed heartily. "You're right."

With that, he turned to face Envoy Yue. He opened his palm, and a sword appeared in his hand. It was the Dragon Abyss Sword instead of the Qingxuan Sword!

Realizing that Ye Guan was about to wield it in battle, the Dragon Abyss Sword trembled violently with excitement. It couldn't contain itself. It knew that it would never become Ye Guan's personal sword, but if a swordsman of his caliber used it even once, its potential would be significantly enhanced!

This was its golden opportunity!

When the Dragon Abyss Sword appeared, both Tian Xing and Tian Chen were visibly surprised.

e Guan glanced at the thrilled Dragon Abyss Sword in his hand and smiled. "Come on, today, you'll fight alongside me."

Swoosh!

Ye Guan transformed into a streak of sword light and vanished from his spot.

Buzz!

A resonant sword hum reverberated.

In an instant, a sword was already upon Envoy Yue.

When Ye Guan's strike reached him, Envoy Yue's face changed dramatically. He hadn't anticipated that a strike from this seemingly low-level cultivator could be so terrifying. Even Tian Xing and Prime Minister Ji were shocked.

It was a terrifying sword strike!

In that instant, all the disdain that Envoy Yue had toward Ye Guan disappeared. He clenched his right hand tightly, and the aura of a Supreme Ancestor erupted from him like a tidal wave.

He poured all his strength into a powerful punch to meet the oncoming attack.

Bam!

The fist light shattered, and Envoy Yue was sent flying backwards. As he retreated, the spacetime around him fractured inch by inch. It was a terrifying sight!

The power of this sword strike was unimaginably terrifying, and it didn't even carry any sword intent!

Tian Xing and Prime Minister Ji exchanged glances, and their faces were pale with astonishment.

Tian Chen, however, smiled faintly, unsurprised. He had seen what Ye Guan could do..

Ye Guan didn't launch another attack. Instead, he closed his eyes.

The Dragon Abyss Sword in his hand trembled violently with excitement.

A sword's strength came from its wielder. While the Dragon Abyss Sword was not an inferior sword by any means, to break through its limits and reach an entirely new level, it needed a powerful master to imbue it with sword intent and elevate it beyond its current potential.

When the Dragon Abyss Sword first encountered Ye Guan, it was thrilled upon sensing an overwhelming sword intent within him. In Ye Guan's hands, it was experiencing what the word "Sword Dao" meant.

When Envoy Yue finally came to a halt, his right arm shattered, and his bone was visible beneath his mangled flesh. He was genuinely stunned. He never imagined that this young swordsman could be so terrifying.

Just then, Ye Guan looked in his direction.

Envoy Yue felt a sudden, inexplicable tightening in his chest.

Swoosh!

Ye Guan vanished into thin air.

Schwing!

A streak of sword light streaked across the field like a bolt of lightning.

Envoy Yue's eyes narrowed. The moment Ye Guan's sword force locked onto him, every hair on his body stood on end. This was going to be dangerous.

Without hesitation, he ignited his own fleshly body to enhance his strength temporarily. The instant his fleshly body was set ablaze, his aura surged explosively. He crossed his arms, and a towering mountain hundreds of meters high materialized, enveloping him.

Ye Guan's sword struck down ferociously.

Boom!

With a thunderous boom, the colossal mountain shattered into rubble. The immense force of the strike sent Envoy Yue flying backward. Even the surrounding star fields showed faint cracks under the pressure of the attack.

Both Tian Xing and Prime Minister Ji were visibly shaken by the sight. This young man wasn't even a Supreme Ancestor Realm expert, but the power of his sword had undeniably reached that level.

What a monstrous talent!

Even Tian Chen was surprised. He knew that Ye Guan was in the process of rebuilding his cultivation foundations. However, how long had it been since Ye Guan started doing that?

And he was already this powerful?

Tian Chen felt a little dispirited upon realizing that. After all, he was hailed as the greatest prodigy of the Heavenly Tomb Empire. Compared to Ye Guan, however, he felt... like he was just ordinary.

After coming to a halt, Envoy Yue's expression turned even more grim. Just two strikes, and the young man had managed to injure him severely.

Moreover, Ye Guan's cultivation realm was extremely low, and his aura was weak, but... his Sword Dao was abnormally powerful. How could such a freak even exist? Envoy Yue was filled with doubt and disbelief.

In the distance, Ye Guan was also a bit surprised. He had initially thought he would need to endure a tough battle, but he hadn't expected his opponent to be so weak.

If he had the Qingxuan Sword, those two strikes just now would have been enough to kill his opponent outright.

Is my opponent just too weak? Ye Guan shook his head, dismissing the thought. Another idea surfaced in his mind. Perhaps I'm just too strong.

As soon as this thought popped up in his mind, he burst out into laughter.

Boom!

His sword intent surged explosively.

Ye Guan realized something just then. He had never been weak. It was simply that his previous opponents were far too strong. Figures like the Ancestral Dao, the Great Daoist Brush Master, and Fan Zhaodi...

He had only lived for a few short decades, so how could he possibly compete with those powerful figures? For so long, he had not been playing on a fair field. It would have been strange if he had remained undefeated.

Seeing that Ye Guan's sword aura was surging wildly, Envoy Yue's face turned pale. How was it possible that his opponent was growing stronger the longer they fought? The warrant on Ye Guan hadn't mentioned that he was this powerful!

Swoosh!

Ye Guan disappeared from where he stood.

Envoy Yue's expression changed. Without hesitation, he ignited his soul while retreating and fighting simultaneously. His goal was to stall for time. He had already contacted the Genesis Daoist Temple, and reinforcements would arrive soon.

Envoy Yue avoided engaging Ye Guan directly, leaving Ye Guan unable to deal with him. However, Envoy Yue was in a dire state, and he couldn't counterattack. His fleshly body was stricken with quite a few grotesque wounds.

Prime Minister Ji suddenly said, "Your Highness, we must assist Envoy Yue."

Tian Xing frowned slightly. "This young man is extraordinary, and his background is not so simple."

Prime Minister Ji fixed his gaze on Ye Guan and said, "It is precisely because of that that we must help Envoy Yue."

Tian Xing's voice grew serious. "You're suggesting that we must help him because he's on Ninth Brother's side?"

Prime Minister Ji nodded. "That's correct. If he's on the Ninth Prince's side, then he's an enemy, not an ally.

"The enemy of our enemy is our friend, so we must secure the support from the Genesis Daoist Temple. This young man is indeed remarkable, but he is insignificant compared to the entire Genesis Daoist Temple. His backers can't possibly be stronger than the Genesis Daoist Temple as well..."

Tian Xing interjected, "The power behind him is far from ordinary. No ordinary force can cultivate someone so monstrous. His talent, combat power, and especially that confidence and pride, none of these traits are things common folk could ever hope to achieve.

"Even as a prince of the Imperial Family, neither I nor my Ninth Brother could match that self-assurance and arrogance. The force behind him must be unimaginably powerful."

After a pause, he closed his eyes and continued, "If he hadn't already aligned himself with Ninth Brother, I would have chosen to aid him in escaping so that we could forge a bond of goodwill, even becoming sworn brothers if necessary.

"However, he has chosen to take Ninth Brother's side, so he is my mortal enemy."

Having made up his mind, Tian Xing roared, "Imperial Guards, step forward!"

Boom!

The fabric of spacetime behind Tian Xing was torn apart, and two overwhelming auras descended like a waterfall, crushing everything in their path.

Peak Supreme Ancestor Realm experts were here!
