I Have A Sword

Chapter 971: Rebellion

Some couldn\'t hold back and wanted to attack, but High Goddess Tianxuan stopped them, forcing them to suppress their anger again.

High Goddess Tianxuan looked at Ye Guan without speaking. She was pretty curious about the young man. He had single-handedly plunged the Tianxing Civilization into chaos, and he had just taken away the Tianxing Life Tree.

This was clearly a declaration of war to the death.

Foreign civilizations would usually tremble at the mere mention of the Tianxing Civilization, but the young man before her showed no fear toward them whatsoever.

What an extraordinary young man. High Goddess Tianxuan thought. She could still remember High Goddess Tianyun\'s words—the Evil Dao Alliance was deceiving the Tianxing Civilization.

Ye Guan was also looking at High Goddess Tianxuan. Thanks to Yi Nian, he learned that she was one of the two supreme beings of the Tianxing Civilization—High Goddess Tianxuan.

High Goddess Tianxuan stared at Ye Guan and asked, "What are you doing?"

Ye Guan was about to respond when High Goddess Tianxuan\'s figure suddenly became illusory.

Damn it! I thought we were going to talk? Why is she attacking me? Does she not know shame?! Ye Guan chided and slashed out with his sword—Heavenrend!

Boom!

A sword light burst forth, and Ye Guan was blasted tens of thousands of meters away.

High Goddess Tianxuan looked at her right palm instead of chasing after Ye Guan. A deep sword wound marred her hand, and blood was seeping out of it, staining her palm red.

High Goddess Tianxuan gazed at the Qingxuan Sword in Ye Guan\'s hand, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly at the sight of it.

Ye Guan\'s expression also turned incredibly serious. If he hadn\'t spent decades cultivating within that box, he could have died just now. She was terrifyingly strong!

High Goddess Tianxuan walked slowly toward Ye Guan. "How about this? I\'ll fight you one-on-one. If I lose, you may leave anytime. If I win, you will return the Tianxing Life Tree to our civilization."

Ye Guan stared at her and replied, "High Goddess, do I really have to fight you—"

Swoosh!

High Goddess Tianxuan\'s figure became blurry once again.

Damn it! Ye Guan\'s face darkened. She\'s actually shameless!

The space around Ye Guan became illusory along with High Goddess Tianxuan\'s figure. Moments later, a mysterious force immobilized him. In response, the Qingxuan Sword trembled violently.

Hum!

A resonant sword hum echoed, and the nearby spacetime shattered like glass.

Ye Guan gripped the Qingxuan Sword and thrust it forward.

Boom!

A radiant sword light manifested.

Ye Guan\'s went numb, and he staggered backward with narrowed eyes.

In an instant, the space around him transformed into strange grids[1], and a myriad of sword lights rushed out of them.

At the same time, Ye Guan slashed forward with the Qingxuan Sword—Lifespan Severance!

High Goddess Tianxuan\'s beautiful eyes glimmered in shock upon sensing something. She immediately came to a halt and pointed her finger forward. A myriad projections of the time river manifested, but they vanished the next moment.

Meanwhile, High Goddess Tianxuan had already retreated thousands of meters away, and she was completely unharmed!

The time-stripping attack had been nullified! Ye Guan was stunned. For the first time ever, his Lifespan Severance had actually failed to harm his opponent!

High Goddess Tianxuan looked at Ye Guan with some confusion. "Your sword technique—"

Rumble!

The spacetime before her was split open, and a sword rushed out of it, interrupting her words.

It was a sword made out of sword intent!

High Goddess Tianxuan extended two fingers and pinched the oncoming sword, stopping it between her fingers. However, another sword appeared behind her, and it seemed to have come out of nowhere.

It was the Qingxuan Sword!

High Goddess Tianxuan\'s eyebrows furrowed deeply. She clenched her left hand into a fist, and her figure became blurry.

Whoosh!

The Qingxuan Sword struck nothing but empty air.

In the distance, Ye Guan\'s expression changed drastically. He turned and thrust his sword forward, but he was a bit too late—a fist had already slammed into his abdomen.

Boom!

In an instant, Ye Guan was blasted away, becoming a small black dot in the sky.

High Goddess Tianxuan stepped forward, reaching out with her right hand to strike. Before he could make any move whatsoever, the spacetime around her shattered, and countless sword lights converged on her.

High Goddess Tianxuan waved her hand, blasting away the sword lights.

Rumble!

The spacetime before High Goddess Tianxuan was torn open, and Ye Guan emerged from it with a sword in hand.

Facing Ye Guan\'s attack, High Goddess Tianxuan didn\'t fight him directly. Instead, she retreated a thousand meters away, causing his sword to miss. Before Ye Guan could do a follow-up attack, High Goddess Tianxuan charged at him like an arrow.

Ye Guan was startled, and he hurriedly raised his sword to block.

Boom!

The sword light shattered, and Ye Guan was sent flying.

High Goddess Tianxuan stepped forward and reached out toward Ye Guan before dragging him toward her.

Ye Guan\'s face changed drastically; the space above him had collapsed, and a terrifying pressure crushed down on him, leaving him breathless.

Ye Guan narrowed his eyes, and he slashed out with his sword—Lifespan Severance!

The collapsing space became illusory before disappearing.

Swoosh!

A shadowy figure appeared in front of Ye Guan, and he hurriedly raised his sword to defend himself.

Boom!

Ye Guan felt as if he had been struck by a colossal hammer, and he flew tens of thousands of meters away. As soon as he stopped, blood trickled down his mouth, and his fleshly body cracked open, oozing with blood.

High Goddess Tianxuan stepped forward, and the space around Ye Guan crumbled.

Ye Guan saw that and was about to activate his bloodlines, but High Goddess Tianyun\'s voice echoed in his mind. "The Chief Enforcement Officer will arrive soon. Hurry up and leave!"

Without hesitation, Ye Guan slashed out with the Qingxuan Sword and teleported away.

High Goddess Tianxuan didn\'t stop him. The ten mysterious figures behind her were about to act, but she stopped them. She stared into the distance and calmly said, "Everything is under control."

High Goddess Tianxuan\'s voice was loud, and the experts in the Tianxing Life World heard her clearly, allowing them to relax.

Since High Goddess Tianxuan had said that everything was under control, then everything was under control.

"Withdraw," High Goddess Tianxuan said.

The experts of the Tianxing Civilization bowed to her before retreating.

High Goddess Tianxuan raised her right hand and waved lightly. "You all retreat as well."

The mysterious figures behind her bowed respectfully and retreated.

Just then, a woman in a white dress and with an exceptionally beautiful face appeared before her. The woman was none other than High Goddess Tianyun.

High Goddess Tianxuan stared into the distance and asked, "Tianyun, this is an all-in gamble."

"He\'s not going to harm the Tianxing Life Tree," High Goddess Tianyun remarked.

"Is it because of Yi Nian?" High Goddess Tianxuan asked.

High Goddess Tianyun nodded.

High Goddess Tianxuan closed her eyes and muttered, "The Evil Dao Alliance has truly screwed us over this time."

She and High Goddess Tianyun knew that Ye Guan was in the Tianxing Life World, and the reason they hadn\'t taken the initiative to find him was that they didn\'t want to do the Evil Dao Alliance\'s bidding.

The Evil Dao Alliance was so insidious that even Prime Minister Mu\'s death was part of their calculations.

If Prime Minister Mu hadn\'t died, then this issue would never end. Prime Minister Mu had already agreed to ally with the Evil Dao Alliance, so he had to die. They couldn\'t kill him themselves, so they decided to let Ye Guan kill him.

However, they hadn\'t expected Ye Guan to take the Tianxing Life Tree away.

High Goddess Tianxuan suddenly said, "His bloodline is of a higher level than our Tianxing Bloodline, and the sword in his hand..."

High Goddess Tianxuan\'s gaze became solemn, which was a rare sight. For some reason, the Qingxuan Sword gave her the feeling that it was capable of slicing through anything.

The Qingxuan Sword couldn\'t have come from a low-tier civilization. The person who forged it was a terrifying expert. Thus, High Goddess Tianxuan decided to cooperate with High Goddess Tianyun.

High Goddess Tianxuan also realized that Ye Guan was an extraordinary individual. If things were allowed to continue at this rate, the Tianxing Civilization would suffer a catastrophe.

High Goddess Tianxuan was different from Prime Minister Mu and the others. She had seen a lot, and like High Goddess Tianyun, she never believed that the Tianxing Civilization was truly invincible in the universe. Take the recent matter with the Wujian Universe for example.

The fact that they could trap even someone as powerful as the Tianxing Ruler was terrifying. Both she and High Goddess Tianyun had a deep respect for the vastness of the vast expanse.

High Goddess Tianxuan remarked, "The Second Hall Master is still in the Cabinet Hall."

High Goddess Tianyun replied, "Let\'s go see him, then."

With that, the two women disappeared into thin air.

Back in the Cabinet Hall, Qiu Baiyi knew that he had screwed up as soon as he saw High Goddess Tianyun and High Goddess Tianxuan. His goal was to use Prime Minister Mu\'s death to intensify the conflict between Ye Guan and the Tianxing Civilization, pushing both sides into a situation where they had to fight to the death.

However, the sight of these two ladies told him that his plan had failed.

With Prime Minister Mu dead, the ones in charge were the two people standing in front of him.

And now that these two had appeared together, he understood everything.

Qiu Baiyi suddenly stood up, then smiled and said, "I\'ll leave now."

After speaking, he turned around to leave.

However, a mysterious force engulfed him.

Qiu Baiyi stopped in his tracks and smiled, saying, "The Wujian Universe."

High Goddess Tianxuan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you threatening me?"

Just as Qiu Baiyi was about to speak, High Goddess Tianxuan stepped forward and threw a punch at him. The spacetime around Qiu Baiyi caved in, but he tapped the ground lightly and vanished into thin air.

High Goddess Tianxuan frowned.

"He\'s been hiding his strength," remarked High Goddess Tianyun.

High Goddess Tianxuan\'s gaze turned cold.

High Goddess Tianyun suddenly called out, "Jing An."

Jing An walked in and bowed slightly to the two women.

High Goddess Tianyun approached Jing An and patted her head. "Go find him and tell him that the Evil Dao Alliance is about to make a move against him."

"Alright." Jing An nodded and turned around to leave.

High Goddess Tianyun said, "Wait."

Jing An stopped and turned to look at her.

High Goddess Tianyun smiled slightly, opening her palm to reveal a mysterious token.

Jing An looked puzzled, "What\'s this?"

"This is the Dark Token. It grants you control over all the cultivators of the Tianxing Civilization\'s Dark Hall. They are responsible for gathering intelligence across the vast expanse. From now on, they are under your command."

Jing An\'s eyes lit up immediately. "Under my command?"

High Goddess Tianyun nodded. "Yes."

Jing An hurriedly accepted the token.

When she walked out of the grand hall, she looked up toward the distant horizon, and a slight smile appeared on her lips. She had just become the Tianxing Civilization\'s Head of Intelligence.

Becoming the Chief Enforcement Officer? She no longer cared about that. She wanted to become the Tianxing Ruler! It was a risky rebellion, but it sure was exhilarating!
