Chapter 879: He\'s My Brother
Before the Weapon Master could respond, Ye Guan handed the sword to him and smiled. "Please take a look."
The Weapon Master took the Qingxuan Sword with trembling hands. The moment he grasped it, his pupils contracted sharply, and his eyes filled with undisguised greed, like a man who had been single for decades seeing an extremely beautiful woman without a thread of clothing.
He was filled with uncontrollable desire!
Ye Guan was taken aback by the sight. He won\'t try and steal it, will he?
After a long time, the Weapon Master slowly closed his eyes. Although his face returned to calmness, his hands continued to tremble uncontrollably.
Ye Guan was even more surprised.
At this moment, the Heavenly Ruler Demon stepped forward and smiled as he explained, "Young Master Ye, you may not know, but he is called the Weapon Master, and there\'s a reason for that. Actually, he\'s not human."
"Hmm?"
Ye Guan turned to the Heavenly Ruler Demon in astonishment, "Not human?"
The Heavenly Ruler Demon nodded and explained, "His true form is a deadly weapon. As for what kind of weapon, I don\'t know. All I know is that his cultivation method is unique—he devours various divine weapons and artifacts. The stronger the weapon he devours, the stronger he becomes. Not only that, but he also gains the special abilities of the weapons he devours. That\'s why he\'s known as the Weapon Master."
Devouring divine weapons! Ye Guan was extremely intrigued. No wonder this guy was so excited upon seeing the Qingxuan Sword. If he devoured the Qingxuan Sword and obtained its special properties, wouldn’t he become invincible?
Of course, it\'s highly unlikely he would be able to devour the Qingxuan Sword. It’s more likely that the sword would devour him instead.
The Heavenly Ruler Demon glanced at the Qingxuan Sword in the Weapon Master’s hand, and his heart was filled with shock. With his discerning eyes, he could naturally see that this sword was no ordinary item.
Young Master Ye’s background was truly unfathomable.
The Weapon Master opened his eyes and looked at the Qingxuan Sword in his hand. A complicated light flashed in his eyes, and then he returned the sword to Ye Guan.
Ye Guan joked, "I thought you were going to steal it."
The Weapon Master nodded and honestly replied, "I considered that."
Ye Guan smiled and asked, "What made you give up on that thought?"
The Weapon Master stared deeply at Ye Guan and explained, "I definitely kill you, but there is no way I can kill the expert who forged this sword."
Ye Guan’s face darkened instantly.
The Heavenly Ruler Demon quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Let’s not talk about fighting. Harmony is important on the path of cultivation. Yes, it is important—very important."
Ye Guan laughed heartily. Then, he put the Qingxuan Sword away and said, "I\'m weak, so I hope you seniors will guide me in the future."
The Heavenly Ruler Demon and the Weapon Master were both surprised by Ye Guan\'s humble attitude. Ye Guan had been subtly showing off, so the fact that he was suddenly acting modest made them feel a bit uncomfortable.
Just then, Ye Guan said, "I need to water my tree. Seniors, please come with me..."
With that, he walked away into the distance.
The Heavenly Ruler Demon and the Weapon Master frowned. Water his tree?
The Weapon Master said in a deep voice, "He\'s probably going to show off again."
The Heavenly Ruler Demon had no idea what to say.
The two followed Ye Guan for a short distance before they saw a towering ancient tree. When they saw the tree, their expressions became solemn once again. A glance was enough for their keen eyes to recognize that they were staring at an extraordinary tree.
When they saw the Dao Fruits growing on the tree, however, their pupils constricted in disbelief.
Ye Guan opened his palm, and a sacred character flew into his hand. It was one of the Shui Civilization’s sacred characters. The Immortal Dao Tree was being nurtured by a sacred character of the Shui Civilization.
Ye Guan discovered that the sacred character could be detached from the Immortal Dao Tree. In other words, as long as he had enough Ancestral Veins, he could grow countless Immortal Dao Trees.
Of course, that was a challenging endeavor for him at the moment.
Ancestral Veins were extremely precious, after all.
If he wanted to nurture many Immortal Dao Trees, he could only rely on Little White in the future.
"That\'s a sacred character from the Shui Civilization!" the Heavenly Ruler Demon exclaimed.
Ye Guan was slightly surprised. He turned to look at the Heavenly Ruler Demon and asked, "You\'re familiar with the Shui Civilization?"
The Heavenly Ruler Demon looked at Ye Guan in disbelief. "Young Master Ye, why do you have a sacred character of the Shui Civilization? Are you... are you from the Shui Civilization?"
Before Ye Guan could speak, the Heavenly Ruler Demon added, "No wonder. It\'s no wonder you’re so extraordinary, and it\'s no wonder you have so many divine items. So you’re from the Shui Civilization... you\'re from a Tier Five civilization!"
Ye Guan was speechless.
A Tier Five civilization? The Weapon Master glanced at Ye Guan, and then he looked at the Heavenly Ruler Demon, asking, "What’s the Shui Civilization?"
"The Shui Civilization is also known as the Shui Clan. They were once a Tier Five Civilization," the Heavenly Ruler Demon said with a complicated face. "However, their civilization declined upon their defeat against the Tianxing Civilization. In the end, they had to migrate as a whole. I owe them a favor, but when they migrated again, I lost all contact with them. I truly didn\'t expect that I\'d meet a descendant of the Shui Civilization today..."
The Heavenly Demon Ruler looked at Ye Guan and asked, "Young Master Ye, are you one of the Shui Civilization\'s princes?"
Ye Guan pondered briefly before replying, "No."
The Heavenly Ruler Demon frowned slightly. Then, his face changed, and he said in a trembling voice, "Could you be one of the Shui Civilization\'s... young priests?"
The highest authority in the Shui Civilization was their high priest rather than their emperor, king, or clan leader. Since there was a high priest, then there would be young priests, who were being trained to succeed the high priest.
A young priest of the Shui Civilization would be the future ruler of the Shui Civilization.
The more the Heavenly Ruler Demon thought about it, the more he believed it to be true. Otherwise, there was no way Ye Guan could have so many divine items.
Just then, Ye Guan waved his hand, and two chairs appeared behind the two experts.
Ye Guan himself sat on a nearby boulder and smiled. "Please, have a seat."
The Heavenly Ruler Demon and the Weapon Master exchanged glances before sitting down.
Ye Guan got straight to the point. "I want you to help me take down the Eighth Hall of the Evil Dao Alliance."
The Heavenly Ruler Demon and the Weapon Master both fell silent. They couldn\'t easily agree to Ye Guan\'s offer.
Ye Guan opened his palm, and two Dao Fruits from the Immortal Dao Tree fell straight down, landing in front of the Heavenly Ruler Demon and the Weapon Master.
The eyelids of the two twitched in astonishment, and they struggled to remain calm.
The Heavenly Ruler Demon instinctively reached out to grab a fruit when Ye Guan said, "If you help me take down the Eighth Hall, these two Dao Fruits will belong to you both."
The Heavenly Ruler Demon immediately retracted his hand.
Evil Dao Alliance. It wasn\'t just a simple organization. No one knew just how terrifying it was, but one thing was certain—the Evil Dao Civilization was extremely powerful.
The karma involved was immense as well!
Ye Guan looked at the two of them and smiled, "I\'ll give you fifteen minutes to think about it."
Fifteen minutes!
The Weapon Master suddenly asked, "Young Master Ye, are you going to keep your word?"
Ye Guan nodded. "Of course."
The Weapon Master said, "All right, I’m willing to help you against the Eighth Hall Master."
The Heavenly Ruler Demon trembled and muttered, "Weapon Master, you..."
The Weapon Master shook his head and explained, "You can’t expect to make handsome profits without taking risks. Where in this vast expanse is that possible? I\'m not asking for much. Once I\'ve obtained my rewards, I’ll retreat, hide, and focus on cultivating. In ten thousand years, I’ll attempt to ascend the Battle to the Heavens."
The Heavenly Ruler Demon turned his gaze to the Dao Fruit in front of him and remained silent.
The value of this Dao Fruit surpassed even that of an Eternal Crystal. Dao Fruits were capable of extending both the lifespan and strength of even Path Creation Realm experts.
However, they were talking about the Evil Dao Alliance here! That organization was no joke.
"The Evil Dao Alliance is indeed formidable," Ye Guan said, smiling. "It’s normal for you to be apprehensive. I will not force you to join my cause. We can still be friends even if you don\'t want to join my cause."
The Heavenly Ruler Demon said solemnly, "Young Master Ye, you only want us to get rid of the Evil Dao Alliance\'s Eighth Hall?"
Ye Guan nodded. "Yes."
The Heavenly Ruler Demon gritted his teeth. "Deal."
Ye Guan\'s lips curved slightly into a smile. "Welcome."
The Heavenly Ruler Demon asked, "How many people do we have?"
Ye Guan thought for a moment and was about to speak when the Heavenly Ruler Demon added, "Young Master Ye, please be honest with us."
"There\'s me, five Path Creation Realm experts from the Great Zhou, and a few friends. In total, including you two... we have about ten Path Creation Realm experts," Ye Guan replied, "Of course, I have some trump cards and backup plans."
The Heavenly Ruler Demon said seriously, "Not enough—far from enough. As far as I know, the Ninth Hall Master is also involved..."
Ye Guan replied, "He’s my brother."
The Heavenly Ruler Demon and the Weapon Master were stunned.
The Heavenly Ruler Demon stared deeply at Ye Guan and asked, "The Ninth Hall Master of the Evil Dao Alliance is your brother?"
Ye Guan nodded. "Yes, have you not heard of his recent visit to the Great Zhou? Did you really think that he came here to kill me? No, he was here to visit me."
The Heavenly Ruler Demon and the Weapon Master exchanged glances. After a while, the Heavenly Ruler Demon said, "Young Master Ye, we\'re being sincere and honest here, so please don’t lie to us. This is a matter of life and death."
"Haha." Ye Guan laughed, "Gentlemen, I\'m a swordsman. I\'m sure you\'re aware of a swordsman\'s temperament."
Both the Heavenly Ruler Demon and the Weapon Master fell silent.
If it were any other swordsman, they would believe them without a doubt. After all, swordsmans were known for their unyielding and forthwith nature.
Forcing them to deceive others would be worse than killing them.
However, they couldn\'t quite believe Young Master Ye for some reason.
Just then, Ye Guan opened his palm, and a crystal ball appeared in his hand.
Upon infusing his spiritual energy into the crystal ball, a screen appeared in the air. Then, Ye Guan\'s encounter with Li Han was shown, but there was no sound.
The two were chatting and laughing. In the end, the Ninth Hall Master gave Ye Guan a piece of treasured armor.
The Heavenly Ruler Demon and the Weapon Master\'s expressions changed drastically at the sight.
Damn it! That really is the Ninth Hall Master of the Evil Dao Alliance! There’s actually someone on Young Master Ye’s side within the Evil Dao Alliance? This is unbelievable!
Ye Guan put away the crystal ball and said seriously, "Gentlemen, Brother Li is my mole inside the Evil Dao Alliance. Only the two of you are aware of his true identity, so you must keep this a secret for me."
All of a sudden, the Heavenly Ruler Demon stood up and rushed over to Ye Guan. He grabbed Ye Guan\'s hand and earnestly said, "Young Master Ye, my father is also a Path Creation realm expert. Can you allow him to serve you?"
The Weapon Master was speechless at the sight.
