Chapter 504: Do I Have Any More Aunts?
Diyi Feng and Diyi Lou were also present.
A hundred Time Reversers stood around them.
Sovereign Ku Xuan turned to the woman wielding a colossal sword and asked, "Great Sword Sovereign, why are you not chasing after them?"
The Great Sword Sovereign cast a nonchalant glance at Sovereign Ku Xuan and calmly replied, "We\'re waiting for people."
Sovereign Ku Xuan frowned and asked, "Who are you waiting for?"
"We\'re waiting for two Sovereigns[1]," the Great Sword Sovereign said.
Sovereign Ku Xuan looked at her with puzzlement. "With our strength, aren\'t we more than capable of dealing with them?"
"Sovereign Ku Xuan, you\'d best not underestimate them," the Great Sword Sovereign warned, "They killed the Ancient Mirror Sovereign not too long ago."
Sovereign Ku Xuan was visibly taken aback. He was familiar with the Ancient Mirror Sovereign. Although the Ancient Mirror Sovereign wasn\'t exactly extremely strong in their circle, his weapon—the Ancient Heavenly Mirror was a powerful divine item.
Sovereign Ku Xuan was truly surprised to hear that the Ancient Mirror Sovereign had fallen. At the same time, he no longer regarded Ye Guan and Ye Qingqing with disdain.
The Great Sword Sovereign\'s eyes were cold as she stared into the distance. Her exchanges with Ye Qingqing had told her not to underestimate the latter. The Great Sword Sovereign knew better than to make the same mistake. She had decided to wait until everyone was here, and then she\'d strike at them by then.
The Great Sword Sovereign was no longer willing to take any chances.
The Great Sword Sovereign recalled something and asked, "Where is the Great Daoist Brush Master?"
"He\'s stuck in the Great Dao Realm," Sovereign Ku Xuan answered.
The Great Sword Sovereign\'s eyes narrowed. "Are you certain?"
"Absolutely." Sovereign Ku Xuan nodded solemnly. "Our clan leader has also issued a warning to him. I\'m sure he doesn\'t dare to make a move."
The Great Sword Sovereign nodded lightly in acknowledgment. She was wary of the Great Daoist Brush Master because she was well aware of the latter\'s true strength. In fact, the Great Daoist Brush Master had unraveled the secrets of the Great Dao before the True God could do so.
Before establishing his order, the Great Daoist Brush Master had once fought the Time Reversers. However, those exchanges were mere skirmishes at best, as the Great Daoist Brush Master had yet to establish his order at the time.
To make matters worse, the True God toppled him before he could dominate the vast expanse. Although the Great Daoist Brush Master\'s fate was pitiable, those who had crossed paths with him knew better than to underestimate him.
There were only a few people throughout the vast expanse capable of defeating the Great Daoist Brush Master. Unfortunately, the Great Daoist Brush Master was an expert when it came to stumbling upon those few people.
The Great Sword Sovereign sensed just then. "Watch out!"
A resonant sword hum echoed, and a sword appeared next to Sovereign Sovereign Ku Xuan. The sword was swift as lightning, and it manifested like a ghost, startling everyone.
Sovereign Ku Xuan\'s hair stood on end, and his heart was gripped by a profound sense of shock. Who was daring enough to sneak attack him? Sovereign Ku Xuan asked himself, but he responded almost immediately, creating a barrier.
If the barrier could withstand the oncoming sword attack for even a split second, Sovereign Ku Xuan would definitely survive the attack. Unfortunately, a mysterious force sprang up just then, enveloping everyone.
A sword domain! Sovereign Ku Xuan\'s pupils constricted, surprised by the appearance of a sword domain. Before he could react, the oncoming sword effortlessly shattered his barrier and pierced his glabella.
Boom!
The sword\'s terrifying power crushed all vitality within him, annihilating both his fleshly body and soul. The Great Sword Sovereign\'s expression darkened, and she glared at Ye Qingqing.
The Great Sword Sovereign was deeply shaken, as she truly didn\'t expect that Ye Qingqing would ambush them once again.
"Ah!"
Mournful screams echoed all of a sudden.
The Great Sword Sovereign turned and saw Ye Guan killing several Time Reversers in the blink of an eye.
It turned out Ye Guan emerged from hiding and made a move while everyone\'s attention was on Sovereign Ku Xuan. Ye Guan\'s attack had truly caught them off guard. Nonetheless, the Time Reversers reacted swiftly and suppressed Ye Guan.
The Great Sword Sovereign\'s expression grew even darker upon seeing Ye Guan. She truly didn\'t expect that they\'d do the same trick once again. To make matters worse, Ye Guan was smiling confidently at the Great Sword Sovereign.
The sight made everyone feel wary. Had his reinforcements arrived?
The Great Sword Sovereign also felt cautious. There had to be a deeper reason behind Ye Guan and Ye Qingqing\'s decision to attack them.
The Great Sword Sovereign looked around with a glare and mustered a powerful sword might to protect herself. At the same time, her divine sense spread out like a net. However, she couldn\'t find anyone else. The discovery made her frown deeply.
Ye Guan smiled at the Great Sword Sovereign before dashing toward Ye Qingqing and entering the tiny pagoda. Ye Qingqing took the little pagoda and flew away.
No one dared to stop them.
If Ye Guan were outside and Ye Qingqing was inside the pagoda, they would have chased after Ye Guan.
After all, even though Ye Guan was strong, he wasn’t that strong.
However, Ye Qingqing was a different story; her strength was on a whole different level. They would succeed if they simply wanted to stop her, but the price they\'d have to pay for that would be exceedingly high.
Under the watchful eyes of the Time Reversers, Ye Qingqing carried Ye Guan away and disappeared into the distance. The Great Sword Sovereign\'s expression turned grim. Ye Guan and Ye Qingqing had tossed their dignity aside to ambush them!
The Great Sword Sovereign turned to the black-robed old man next to her and said, "Make sure the Hidden Clan keeps a close eye on both of them."
The black-robed elder nodded and vanished.
The Great Sword Sovereign shifted her cold gaze toward the distant end of the Time River. They couldn\'t afford to give those two any more chances to escape. A drawn-out battle would be disadvantageous for the Time Reversers, as Ye Guan had proven that he was capable of becoming even stronger after each battle.
At this rate, perhaps only a Sovereign would soon be able to stand toe-to-toe against Ye Guan. It was absurd, but it was the harsh reality. Could they really take them down by then? The Great Sword Sovereign doubted it.
Could we really kill him? The Great Sword Sovereign frowned deeply. Soon, her eyes narrowed into slits. For some reason, she felt like three Sovereigns[2] wouldn\'t be enough to kill Ye Guan and Ye Qingqing.
No, this can\'t go on! The Great Sword Sovereign made up her mind and decisively declared, "You all stay put here! I\'m going to see the clan leader!"
The Great Sword Sovereign turned around and left. She couldn\'t afford to give them any more chances to escape. They had to die in the next battle!
Swoosh!
A phantom suddenly materialized in front of the Great Sword Sovereign just as she was about to leave. The Great Sword Sovereign\'s expression changed upon seeing the phantom.
"Saint Councilor," said the Great Sword Sovereign.
The Saint Councilor nodded. "Great Sword Sovereign, the clan leader is aware of the situation here. Just wait here. The Heavenly Yuan Sovereign, the Warlord Sovereign, and the top-tier supreme elites of the Ancient Clan will arrive in thirty minutes.”
The Ancient Clan?! The Great Sword Sovereign\'s expression changed.
"The Ancient Clan is coming?"
The Saint Councilor nodded. "The Ancient Clan has pledged support to our cause."
The Great Sword Sovereign was both thrilled and excited. The most powerful clan throughout the deep history of the vast expanse had always been the Past Clan, and there were two halls and four clans just below the Past Clan. The two halls were the legendary Divine Time Hall and the Ancient Demon Hall. It seemed that both halls had pledged allegiance to the Clan Leader of the Past Clan.
The Saint Councilor was from the Divine Time Hall.
Meanwhile, the four clans just below the Past Clan were known collectively as the Four Ancient Clans. They were the most fearsome clans throughout history with inheritances that spanned countless epochs.
However, the four clans had refrained from pledging allegiance to the Past Clan.
However, the Saint Councilor\'s words allowed the Great Sword Sovereign to deduce that the Four Ancient Clans had decided to support the Past Clan.
The Great Sword Sovereign looked into the distant end of the Time River with narrowed eyes. "Let\'s see how you\'re going to fend us off the next time we meet!"
...
Ye Guan and Ye Qingqing were flying against the currents of the Time River. They had taken down another Sovereign-level enemy, but Ye Guan knew that their predicament was far from ideal. Ye Guan\'s most pressing issue was that he didn\'t know anything about the Past Clan. He was also unsure how many Time Reversers had rallied to help the Past Clan.
On the other hand, the Past Clan seemed to know everything about him.
There was a huge information gap, and Ye Guan would face issues in the future if this were allowed to go on. At first, he wanted to contact An You, but he realized that he couldn\'t contact the latter.
Even if he could contact An You, it wouldn\'t be that effective. Ye Guan reckoned that even the Immortal Treasures Pavilion wouldn\'t be that useful. His enemies were the Past Clan and the Time Reversers, after all.
Even reinforcements from the Guanxuan Universe and the True Universe were still stuck fighting against the Time Reversers, so how could the Shadow Department of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion reinforce them?
Ye Qingqing saw Ye Guan\'s pensive expression and patted his head, asking, "What\'s on your mind?"
Ye Guan chuckled wryly. "I\'m thinking about how to break through this predicament."
"Figured it out yet?" Ye Qingqing asked.
Ye Guan shook his head.
Ye Qingqing glanced at him from the corner of her eye and said, "Then keep thinking!"
Ye Guan\'s expression froze.
Ye Qingqing looked up and stared into the distance, and her eyes betrayed a hint of contemplation as she observed the boundless flow of time.
Ye Guan suddenly asked, "Aunt, do I have other aunts?"
Ye Qingqing turned to Ye Guan.
Ye Guan was about to speak but Ye Qingqing beat him to the chase.
"Yes, you have many aunts."
Ye Guan\'s face lit up. "Really?"
Ye Qingqing calmly added, "Yes, in your dreams.”
Ye Guan was stunned speechless.
Ye Qingqing then pinched Ye Guan\'s ear. "Enough of these random chit-chats, got it? Do you understand?"
1. the word \'Sovereign\' here seems to be a title rather than related to the cultivation bases with the same name ☜
2. I think top-tier Supreme Elites like those on the Time List are called Sovereigns ☜
