I Have A Sword

Chapter 880: A Wave of a Hand and They’ll Be Destroyed

Ye Guan calmly withdrew his hand and then asked, “Your father is a Path Creation Realm expert as well?”

The Heavenly Ruler Demon nodded. “That’s right.”

Ye Guan smiled, “Then he’s naturally welcome.”

The Heavenly Ruler Demon hesitated.

Ye Guan said, “Don’t worry, one Eternal Crystal and a Dao Fruit.”

The Heavenly Ruler Demon was overjoyed. “Thank you, Young Master Ye.”

He had been hesitant before, but he had no more doubts upon witnessing the scenes just now.

Damn it! Even the Ninth Hall Master of the Evil Dao Alliance is on Young Master Ye’s side. How can we lose this fight? How can we lose? We'll win even with our eyes closed!

The Heavenly Ruler Demon chimed in just then, “Young Master Ye, I know a few old codgers myself. I can persuade—no, recruit them.”

Ye Guan laughed. “That’s great. Go recruit them, but make sure they’re Path Creation Realm experts. I'm also planning on confronting the Eighth Hall Master in three days, so you need to be quick.”

“All right, I'll be quick,” said the Heavenly Ruler Demon before standing up and leaving.

Ye Guan then turned to the Weapon Master, who hesitated before saying, “I’ve always been a loner, so I don’t know many people.”

"No problem." Ye Guan smiled. “No problem. You can stay in my pagoda cultivate. In three days, we’ll go find the Eighth Hall Master of the Evil Dao Alliance.”

The Weapon Master nodded. “Alright.”

It looked like he wanted to say something, but he was hesitating about it.

Ye Guan asked, “Is there something on your mind?”

The Weapon Master nodded and then asked, “Young Master Ye, if you don't mind me asking... how strong is the one who forged that sword of yours? Are they more powerful than the top-tier experts of a Tier Five civilization?”

Ye Guan was a bit surprised by the question. “Why do you ask?”

The Weapon Master said seriously, “As that guy said earlier, I'm a weapon, so I’m very much aware of how terrifying that sword of yours is. If I’m not mistaken, you can’t fully unleash its power, can you?”

Ye Guan nodded. “That’s right.”

A complex expression flashed in the Weapon Master’s eyes. “That sword is the strongest sword I’ve ever seen.”

Ye Guan was curious. “What kind of weapon are you?”

The Weapon Master hesitated.

Ye Guan smiled. “I apologize for being too forward.”

The Weapon Master shook his head. “It’s not that. It’s just that I haven’t revealed my true form in many years. This time, however, you'll see my true form with your own eyes, Young Master Ye.”

Ye Guan smiled. “Hearing you say that makes me look forward to it.”

"Ah, I suddenly remembered someone I know," the Weapon Master said with a smile. “I’m not sure if they're willing to join, but I’ll go and ask them anyway.”

"Sure." Ye Guan nodded.

The Weapon Master got up and left.

Ye Guan looked up at the Dao Fruits and said softly, “Master Pagoda, I just realized that Path Creation Realm experts are short on resources.”

Little Pagoda asked, “Are you really going to destroy the Evil Dao Alliance?”

“Yes.” Ye Guan nodded.

Little Pagoda said seriously, “There's more to them than what you can see.”

Ye Guan smiled and replied, “I know, but the problem is that if I don’t go after them now, they’ll come after me, so I'm going to hit them first.”

"Makes sense," Little Pagoda replied.

Ye Guan said, “I still have over three thousand Ancestral Veins left. I really want to grow another Immortal Dao Tree.”

He had only one Immortal Dao Tree, and it would produce only one fruit every one hundred years. Right now, he only had fifteen Dao Fruits, which were not enough for his goals. These Dao Fruits were extremely tempting to Path Creation realm experts. If he had more, he'd be able to recruit even more of them.

Moreover, he'd be able to nurture more top-tier supreme elites as well.

Ye Guan suddenly started missing Little White.

If Little White were here, he'd have a ton of Dao Fruits.

Little Pagoda said, “You do have enough Ancestral Veins to grow another Immortal Dao Tree, but you should save some. The Guanxuan Universe really needs them.”

Ye Guan nodded. “I know.”

He had just asked Zhou Fan to send a thousand Ancestral Veins back to Guanxuan Academy, specifically to Nalan Jia.

As a result, he only had three thousand Ancestral Veins left. Growing an Immortal Dao Tree would take about one thousand five hundred Ancestral Veins, leaving him with some to spare.

After planting the tree, he would still have to spend Ancestral Veins to nurture it. In short, it was pretty expensive to grow an Immortal Dao Tree; it was something that an ordinary person simply couldn’t afford.

However, Ye Guan had already made up his mind, so he took out that sacred character and found himself a spacious island.

Time to plant a tree!

The Weapon Master and the Heavenly Ruler Demon streaked across the starry skies together; they were heading to the Ascension World.

The Weapon Master suddenly asked, “Do you really believe Young Master Ye is from the Shui Civilization?”

"Nope," the Heavenly Ruler Demon calmly replied, “I don’t believe it.”

The Weapon Master frowned. “Then why...?”

The Heavenly Ruler Demon looked at the Weapon Master and said, “That’s exactly what makes it frightening.”

The Weapon Master was puzzled. “What do you mean?”

The Heavenly Ruler Demon sighed softly, “You’ve never encountered someone from a Tier Five civilization, right? Let me tell you, those from Tier Five civilizations look at those from lower civilizations the way we look at ordinary people without any cultivation base. Would you take an ordinary person seriously?”

The Weapon Master shook his head.

"Did you see that character earlier?" the Heavenly Ruler Demon asked, “It’s a treasure from the Shui Civilization, but it’s completely submissive to Young Master Ye. I suspect that it's under suppression like the Tianxing Flame. Even if that's not the case, then it has definitely witnessed something terrifying, which is why it’s so obedient.”

"They must have seen the might of the one who forged that sword," the Weapon Master said with a grave face."

The Heavenly Ruler Demon nodded. “I estimate that the lady in a plain skirt backing Young Master Ye is at least a peak-level expert from a Tier Five civilization, or perhaps...”

He didn’t finish the sentence.

Even though he was a Path Creation Realm expert, a Tier Five civilization was already beyond his comprehension.

As for civilizations above Tier Five... he couldn’t even imagine how they would look like.

Hearing the Heavenly Ruler Demon’s words, The Weapon Master’s expression also grew increasingly solemn.

The Heavenly Ruler Demon added, “Young Master Ye bringing us into his tiny pagoda and showing us those divine items seems like showing off, but is he really showing off? No, he’s just genuinely powerful.”

The Weapon Master nodded slightly. “Indeed.”

"Of course, the Evil Dao Alliance is strong as well," the Heavenly Ruler Demon added, “However, I’m taking Young Master Ye's side.”

"We really can't underestimate the Evil Dao Alliance," the Weapon Master remarked.

"On the path to the summit of cultivation, every choice comes with its own risks and rewards," the Heavenly Ruler Demon said, "If we want to advance further, we can’t just sit and wait. We have to take a gamble. This time, let’s go and see who is stronger between Young Master Ye's backer and the Evil Dao Alliance.”

The Weapon Master exclaimed, “All right, let's go gambling!”

The Heavenly Ruler Demon laughed heartily, and the two disappeared into the distant starry skies.

***

In a mountain range somewhere, a figure landed in front of a gate—it was the Heavenly Ruler Demon.

The Heavenly Ruler Demon waved his sleeve, and the mountain gate shattered with a boom.

“Damn it, Heavenly Ruler Demon! What are you doing here?” A furious voice echoed from within the mountain.

"Puhahaha!" The Heavenly Ruler Demon laughed heartily and exclaimed, “Gang Zhu, come out! I have good news—no, great news!”

Swoosh!

A burly middle-aged man appeared in front of the Heavenly Ruler Demon. His powerful aura alone reduced everything around him into ashes.

The Heavenly Ruler Demon waved his sleeve, and the ashes were blown away.

The middle-aged man glared at the Heavenly Ruler Demon and said, “Good news? If it’s good news, why would you come here?”

The Heavenly Ruler Demon smiled, “It really is good news. I came here to introduce you to a job.”

The middle-aged man frowned. “What kind of job?”

The Heavenly Ruler Demon leaned closer to the middle-aged man and said, “Destroying the Evil Dao Alliance.”

“Fuck you!” the middle-aged man cursed before throwing a punch. His fist carried with it a thunderous might, sending the Heavenly Ruler Demon flying thousands of meters away.

The middle-aged man shouted angrily, “Heavenly Ruler Demon, you old freak! Did you come here to kill me?”

The Heavenly Ruler Demon said nothing, but he opened his palm, revealing an Eternal Crystal.

The middle-aged man’s thick eyebrows furrowed deeply.

The Heavenly Ruler Demon took a step forward and came right up to the middle-aged man before saying, “Finish this job, and you'll get a Dao Fruit along with an Eternal Crystal. A Dao Fruit is a divine item from the Shui Civilization, a Tier Five civilization, and it is capable of boosting our cultivation base. For a musclehead like you, its effects are borderline miraculous."

The middle-aged man asked, “Who wants to destroy the Evil Dao Alliance?”

The Heavenly Ruler Demon then explained Ye Guan’s background.

After hearing the Heavenly Ruler Demon’s explanation, the middle-aged man's brows knitted even tighter.

The Heavenly Ruler Demon asked earnestly, “Do you trust me?”

The middle-aged man replied bluntly, “No.”

This fucker! The Heavenly Ruler Demon’s expression froze.

The middle-aged man glanced at the Heavenly Ruler Demon and said, “As far as I know, the Evil Dao Alliance has issued a bounty, offering a hundred Eternal Crystals for that Young Master Ye's head. Quite a few people are already heading there...”

"Are you really going to believe what they say?" the Heavenly Ruler Demon asked, “A hundred Eternal Crystals—do you really think that they’ll actually give them to you if you kill Young Master Ye? If they don’t give you the rewards that you deserve, what are you going to do, then? Bite them?”

The middle-aged man remained silent.

"But Young Master Ye is different," the Heavenly Ruler Demon added, “We just met him, and he already gave us an Eternal Crystal. And let me tell you a secret—Young Master Ye’s family owns an Eternal Crystal mine.”

The middle-aged man looked at the Heavenly Ruler Demon in disbelief. “They own an Eternal Crystal mine?”

"Yes," said the Heavenly Ruler Demon nodding, seriously.

The middle-aged man gravely said, “Are you sure his family has an Eternal Crystal mine?”

The Heavenly Ruler Demon sounded slightly offended as he replied, “Gang Zhu, do I have any reason to lie to you?”

The middle-aged man frowned in thought.

The Evil Dao Alliance! He was wary of this organization as well.

"The Evil Dao Alliance is indeed no pushover, but so what?" the Heavenly Ruler Demon added, "Think about it—someone who can casually hand out Eternal Crystals to others, would someone like that really be ordinary?

"Young Master Ye hasn’t said it explicitly, but I’ve already guessed that he's from a Tier Five civilization. Besides, we’re not actually trying to destroy the entire Evil Dao Alliance; we're just going to fight the Eighth Hall.”

The middle-aged man remained silent.

The Heavenly Ruler Demon asked, “You know the Weapon Master, right?”

The middle-aged man was surprised. “The Weapon Master has joined him, too?”

The Heavenly Ruler Demon smiled. “Joined? He has acknowledged Young Master Ye as his master.”

“What?!" The middle-aged man was shocked. “Is that true?”

The Heavenly Ruler Demon nodded earnestly. “Yes.”

The middle-aged man was shocked. He knew the Weapon Master wasn’t human but a weapon with a very proud nature, so he hadn’t expected that the Weapon Master would acknowledge someone as his master.

Noticing the middle-aged man’s keen interest, the Heavenly Ruler Demon added, “Brother, we're going to hit the jackpot with just this one gamble...”

The middle-aged man still had some concerns. “But this Evil Dao Alliance...”

The Heavenly Ruler Demon waved his hand dismissively, his face full of disdain, “The Evil Dao Alliance? They're just a bunch of clay chickens and pottery dogs! With a wave of a hand, they'll be destroyed like the hack they are!”
