I Have A Sword-Chapter 1212: Im Busy, Bye!

Upon hearing Ye An's shocking and audacious words, Pan Ling's face darkened instantly. "Shut up! Your younger brother is right here beside me."

"Ah?"

Ye An's startled voice echoed from the talisman.

Ye Guan's expression darkened. He glared at the talisman and sternly said, "Big Sister, I want to ask for your help. Can you come pick me up?"

There was a moment of silence before Ye An exclaimed, "I'm busy, bye!"

The talisman dimmed immediately afterward.

Ye Guan was flabbergasted.

Pan Ling glanced at Ye Guan without saying a word.

There was a deathly silence between the two.

After a short while, Pan Ling asked, "Is she really your biological sister?"

Ye Guan had no words.

Pan Ling gave Ye Guan a once-over and said, "You might as well wait until your cultivation recovers and head to the Nine Continents Tower on your own."

Ye Guan felt a headache coming on. What's wrong with Big Sister? Hadn't she told me that I could rely on her?

Pan Ling looked at Ye Guan. "I'll be heading out on some errands in a few days. It just so happens that I'll pass by the Nine Continents Tower. I can take you along then."

Ye Guan quickly responded, "That would be much appreciated."

Pan Ling nodded without another word and turned to leave.

In the library, Ye Guan continued reading. The culture of the Nine Continents Domain was fascinating in his eyes, especially its legends and stories.

Meanwhile, Elder Ku approached Pan Ling outside the library.

Pan Ling calmly said, "I know who he is now. Don't worry."

Over the past few days, Ye Guan's strange behavior had aroused suspicion in the Pan Clan; many suspected that he was a spy from Wuzhou.

Pan Ling had sought out Ye Guan primarily to ask about that.

Elder Ku nodded slightly. "That's good."

"How is the situation in Wuzhou?"

Elder Ku replied gravely, "There are two prominent figures in Wuzhou. One is named Tai Chu, an individual with an extraordinarily terrifying talent on par with Lin Li. Additionally, they have a special constitution, but we don't know exactly what it is.

"Apart from Tai Chu, there's also a woman named Yue Liu. Her talent seems somewhat weaker, but—"

Elder Ku hesitated before continuing, "They're all blessed with the Nine Continents Destiny. Even if their talent is slightly inferior, their luck compensates for it. My current concern is the upcoming grand competition of the Nine Continents. If our people face those from Wuzhou..."

Pan Ling interjected, "You're suggesting that we need to train another candidate, correct?"

Elder Ku nodded. He had essentially given up on Ye Guan. While Ye Guan carried an air of extraordinary composure, composure alone wouldn't win battles.

Pan Ling calmly remarked, "Focus on training Lin Li and Pan Yun."

Pan Yun was a descendant of the Pan Clan and the biggest genius of the younger generation. However, compared to Lin Li, who carried the Nine Continents Destiny, Pan Yun's talent seemed a bit lacking.

Oftentimes, overwhelming luck could defeat both talent and effort.

Moreover, Lin Li's cultivation aptitude was exceedingly high. He was also diligent and hardworking.

Elder Ku sighed softly and remarked, "It's a pity we couldn't find another prodigy."

"Don't overthink it. Make some arrangements. I'll leave for the Nine Continents City in three days. I'll be taking Pan Yun, Lin Li, and Ye Guan along with me."

Elder Ku nodded. "Understood."

He then turned around and left.

Time passed quickly, and three days later...

Ye Guan woke up early.

When he stepped outside, Lin Li immediately ran up to him with a smile. "Brother Ye!"

Ye Guan was slightly surprised. "You're coming too?"

Lin Li nodded, looking excited. "The eldest young miss said she's taking us to tour the Nine Continents City."

The Nine Continents City!

Ye Guan nodded and turned to another young man.

The young man had a robust physique, looking to be quite imposing.

Lin Li introduced him with a smile. "He's Brother Pan Yun, and he's the eldest young miss's cousin."

Ye Guan looked at Pan Yun and smiled slightly. "Hello."

Pan Yun glanced at Ye Guan and merely nodded.

Just then, Pan Ling walked out from the main gates of the residence.

Today, Pan Ling was dressed in a form-fitting black gown, her tall and slender figure exuding a fiery allure.

As usual, Elder Ku accompanied her.

Pan Ling approached the trio and turned to Elder Ku. Elder Ku extended his palm, and a talisman flew out from it. The talisman transformed into a beam of blue light that landed beneath their feet.

Boom!

A beam of blue light surged into the sky, enveloping everyone.

In the blink of an eye, they vanished into thin air.

***

Inside the teleportation array.

Lin Li looked around curiously.

Everything outside was unfamiliar to him.

Ye Guan suddenly spoke, "Miss, do we have a bad relationship with Wuzhou?"

Pan Ling nodded. "Yes."

"I mean, what if the people from Wuzhou find out that Lin Li is outside?"

Both Pan Ling and Elder Ku were taken aback to hear that.

Pan Ling replied, "We've considered that. There are people secretly protecting us."

"Is your father still not back?"

Pan Ling shook her head. "No."

"Can you contact him?"

Pan Yun suddenly chimed in, "Young Master Ye, mind your words."

Ye Guan glanced at Pan Yun without speaking.

Then, he turned to look at Pan Ling, whose brows were furrowed slightly.

Ye Guan's expression turned grim.

Pan Ling's reaction told him that she hadn't been able to contact her father.

Ye Guan said in a deep voice, "Panzhou and Wuzhou are mortal enemies. If I were them, I wouldn't let Lin Li live. Similarly, I assume Panzhou has considered taking measures against Wuzhou's prodigies as well?"

Pan Ling replied, "Indeed. We both have an agreement—top-level experts must not target the younger generation of either side. Everyone understands that if someone of my father's level were to target a younger generation, it would be unstoppable, but—"

Ye Guan interrupted, "Mercenaries!"

"Exactly." Pan Ling nodded with a solemn face.

Mercenaries were a cause for concern for Panzhou. Those individuals were ruthless and lived by the sword. Among them, the infamous Bandit Mercenary Group was particularly terrifying. Wherever they passed, they left no survivors—destroying even tiny towns.

Fortunately, most mercenaries didn't aim to occupy territory. They wandered between civilizations, occasionally taking on missions but mainly exploring ancient ruins and secret realms.

In many cases, archaeological discoveries were more lucrative than robbery.

Ye Guan remarked, "Let's hope that I'm just overthinking."

Being away from home, he had to remain cautious. As long as he was in Panzhou, if Wuzhou made a move, they wouldn't spare him either.

Just then, Pan Ling suddenly turned to Elder Ku. "Contact Ninth Uncle."

Elder Ku hesitated for a moment. "Wouldn't it disturb him?"

Pan Ling shook her head. "We must exercise caution."

"Alright." Elder Ku nodded and took out a voice transmission talisman.

Pan Ling then looked at Ye Guan. "You're quite meticulous."

Ye Guan smiled. "It's good to be cautious when away from home."

Pan Ling nodded. "Indeed."

Lin Li interjected, "Brother Ye, I heard that Tai Chu and Yue Liu are both in Wuzhou..."

Ye Guan looked at Lin Li and smiled. "Yes, and they may become your enemies in the future."

Lin Li fell silent. Elder Ku had also informed him about the grievances between Panzhou and Wuzhou.

Ye Guan patted Lin Li on the shoulder. "Don't overthink it. Focus on cultivating and living well."

Lin Li nodded. "Okay."

Looking at Lin Li in front of him, Ye Guan felt conflicted. Once one leaves one's small hometown and enters the larger world, one will inevitably lose many things.

Just then, Little Pagoda shouted, "Watch out!"

Watch out? Ye Guan froze. He immediately turned to Pan Ling. "There's danger!"

Upon hearing Ye Guan's words, everyone froze.

Pan Ling immediately raised her right hand. A black light surged from her palm, forming a protective barrier that enveloped everyone. At that same moment, the spacetime around them trembled violently, and countless sword lights suddenly descended.

Boom!

The spatial tunnel up ahead shattered with a thunderous boom.

Ye Guan and the others found themselves in the starry skies, surrounded by the black shield.

Pan Ling's expression was grave as she stared into the distance. A figure slowly approached them—a one-armed man in a black robe holding a sword. He exuded an overwhelming sword aura that made the stars tremble.

Pan Ling's expression changed drastically. "Shikigami Mercenary Group's Sword Immortal Shi!"

Sword Immortal Shi!

Elder Ku and Pan Yun's faces changed drastically upon hearing that.

Within the Nine Continents Domain, there were two Sword Sovereigns and three Sword Immortals. Those five individuals were considered at the pinnacle of the Sword Dao in the Nine Continents.

Pan Ling's face grew dark. She hadn't expected such a figure to target Panzhou.

Pan Ling glared at Sword Immortal Shi. "Sword Immortal Shi, Panzhou has no grudges with the Shikigami Mercenary Group. You—"

Swoosh!

Sword Immortal Shi suddenly vanished.

Pan Ling's pupils contracted sharply.

The next moment, a sword light was thrust fiercely toward her.

Bang!

The black barrier trembled and cracked.

Before anyone could react, another sword light descended.

Boom!

The barrier shattered, scattering into countless fragments, while the powerful remnants of Sword Immortal Shi's sword aura sent everyone flying away.
