I Have A Sword-Chapter 1315: Yang

Little Holy Son? Elder Holy Son? What the hell?

As soon as Ye Guan said that, everyone present went silent.

The air was so still that one could even hear a pin drop.

Nan Yi was also left speechless. His mouth was slightly ajar, and his eyes were wide in confusion. He was completely stunned by Ye Guan's words.

The Ancestral Dao stared at Ye Guan vigilantly. That brat is up to no good.

The reason the Ancestral Dao had decided to follow Ye Guan was that he had his own scheme. He hadn't really taken Ye Guan seriously. In his eyes, while talented and strong, Ye Guan was still just a young and inexperienced brat.

After spending the last few days with him, however, he realized that Ye Guan was full of cunning tricks! Despite being a swordsman, Ye Guan could lie through his teeth without batting an eyelid.

Where the hell did he learn to be this shameless? I think not even Fan Zhaodi can pierce his thick skin! the Ancestral Dao lampooned.

Zhu Ling glanced at Ye Guan but remained silent. She had to admit that she was just as surprised. She hadn't expected Ye Guan to pull something like that.

The Dharma Lord stared at Ye Guan and asked, "You're the Elder Holy Son while Nan Yi is the Little Holy Son?"

Ye Guan nodded calmly. "Yes."

"There has never been such a situation before. There is always only one Holy Son at any given time." The Dharma Lord fixed his eyes on Ye Guan. Although he had a neutral expression, an invisible pressure filled the hall, weighing down on everyone.

However, this pressure had no effect on Ye Guan. After enduring many great wars, he had become completely immune to the intimidation of other cultivators. It was impossible for others to suppress him with their auras.

Ye Guan smiled slightly with composure. "Just because it has never happened before doesn't mean that it can't happen."

The Dharma Lord remained silent and stared at Ye Guan.

Everyone around them remained silent, too. At that moment, they were utterly confused. Two Holy Sons at the same time? Their hunch told them that this was impossible.

However, if Young Lord Ye wasn't the Holy Son of the Other Shore, then how could they explain the tiny pagoda?

Besides the Other Shore Ark, they couldn't comprehend who else could have the ability to produce such an unbelievable divine artifact.

Even the Dao-Tracing Stone paled in comparison to it.

At that point, Nan Yi was beginning to question his reality. He had never expected that Ye Guan's tiny pagoda would be even more powerful than his Dao-Tracing Stone. Nan Yi started doubting himself. Did the Other Shore Holy Ark choose him as well?

Nan Yi fixed his gaze on Ye Guan and said, "You claim to be the Elder Holy Son. Tell me, then, what is your mission?"

"To fight against heretics," Ye Guan responded calmly. Of course, Ye Guan was just guessing, but he wasn't making a random guess. After all, the Holy Son was indeed supposed to fight against heretics.

Upon hearing Ye Guan's response, Nan Yi's heart skipped a beat. He still wasn't convinced, so he pressed further, asking, "Who are you talking about?"

Ye Guan glanced at him and smiled. "Isn't it my turn to ask a question?"

Nan Yi frowned slightly.

"Who are you going to fight?" asked Ye Guan.

Nan Yi was silent for a moment before answering, "The Other Shore Holy Ark has passed down its divine decree, saying that a heretic with the surname 'Yang' would soon arrive in the Other Shore.

"Their arrival would bring an unprecedented disaster upon us..."

Ye Guan's eyelid twitched violently.

Damn it! A heretic with the surname 'Yang'? Are they referring to me?

Nan Yi stared at Ye Guan and asked, "What about you?"

"To fight against heretics."

"You mean to fight against the heretic with the surname 'Yang'?"

Ye Guan shook his head. "No, I'm here to fight against a heretic with the surname 'Fan.'"

Nan Yi was puzzled. "Fan?"

Ye Guan nodded and explained, "She's the Evil Dao, and she's incredibly powerful. Soon, she will cross the Sea of Suffering and come here."

Ye Guan swept his gaze across the crowd and added, "Her strength is unfathomable. That is precisely why the Other Shore Holy Ark granted me this tiny pagoda. Its purpose is to help all of you become a True Saint so that we can face the impending catastrophe together!"

Everyone was shocked by Ye Guan's declaration.

One of the elders couldn't help but ask. "Young Lord Ye, t-that pagoda... can we use it too?"

"Of course!"

The elder trembled with excitement. 'Young Lord Ye..."

"Young Lord Ye?" A black-robed elder glared at him and stomped his foot, shouting, "Show some respect, will you! He's the Holy Son!"

The crowd was stunned, and then excitement filled the air. None of them expected that they would be able to cultivate and study the tiny pagoda!

Ten years in there was equivalent to only a day outside!

That was basically a cheat code! Even the Dharma Lord was surprised. He hadn't expected Ye Guan to make such a generous offer.

Everyone could use the pagoda! Even he was excited to use it himself.

However, he was aware that Nan Yi was supposed to be the real Holy Son.

The Dharma Lord looked around and thought. Who said that there can't be two Holy Sons?

The Ancestral Dao looked at Ye Guan with mixed feelings. He realized that he had seriously underestimated Ye Guan. His mind was just as deviously brilliant as Fan Zhaodi's.

From that point onward, the Ancestral Dao made a mental note to be extremely careful not to fall into Ye Guan's traps!

When Nan Yi saw the look on everyone's faces, his face darkened. They believed Ye Guan and had accepted Ye Guan as the Holy Son!

If he were to oppose Ye Guan, it would seem like he was trying to deny them of a way to become even stronger. That would surely backfire.

Everyone only cared about their own profits, and these elders had just formed a mutually beneficial alliance with Ye Guan!

Even if Ye Guan wasn't the Holy Son, these elders would turn him into one just for their own benefit.

Realizing that, Nan Yi turned toward Ye Guan, cupped his fists, and said, "Brother Ye, since you and I are both Holy Sons, may I also enter the pagoda to cultivate and study?"

At a time like this, opposing Ye Guan would be a bad move. The right move was to reap some profit for himself.

Ye Guan glanced at Nan Yi and was slightly surprised, but he did not dwell on it.

"Of course," he replied with a smile, "Of course. However, I'm also quite curious about your Dao-Tracing Stone. Would you mind letting me study it as well?"

Nan Yi hesitated for a moment before smiling. "Of course."

Meanwhile, the Ancestral Dao was absolutely ecstatic. He looked at Ye Guan, and his eyes were shining with admiration. Damn it, he's a genius!

His future seemed hopeless, as he had no idea how long it would take for him to restore his previous strength. However, he now had a way to become stronger again as soon as possible. It was a huge boon!

With Nan Yi's acknowledgement, Ye Guan's status as a Holy Son was finally acknowledged.

Two Holy Sons! Come to think of it, it's not a bad thing to have two Holy Sons!

The Dharma Lord suddenly said, "You're saying that the Other Shore Holy Ark has sent a divine decree, warning that a heretic is about to enter the Other Shore?"

The crowd turned solemn.

A heretic!

The shadow cast over this world by the Great Daoist Brush Master had yet to fade even after all these years.

And now, another heretic was coming?

To deal with the new heretic, the Other Shore Holy Ark had sent two Holy Sons to them. Clearly, the heretic was far from ordinary.

In a deep voice, Nan Yi explained, "The divine decree that I received stated that a person with the surname 'Yang'—"

Before he could finish, Ye Guan interrupted, "They're working together."

Nan Yi turned to look at Ye Guan.

"That Fan Zhaodi and 'Yang' person are from the same faction. And Fan Zhaodi is an ally of the Great Daoist Brush Master. Right now, Fan Zhaodi is on the other side of the Sea of Suffering.

"She has sacrificed all beings out there, increasing her power to an unprecedented level. Her next target is going to be this world."

"She has sacrificed all beings out there?" the Dharma Lord asked, "Can you elaborate?"

Ye Guan nodded and recounted Fan Zhaodi's deeds. Of course, he left out some details. When he was done, the expressions of the gathered elders were grim.

Sacrificing trillions of lives? That was pure ruthlessness! She was the very definition of a heretic!

"Her strength is beyond terrifying," Ye Guan remarked, "We have to become even stronger as soon as possible. We cannot afford to be caught unprepared. From today onward, everyone is free to enter the tiny pagoda to cultivate.

"Additionally, you may study the special spacetime inside of it anytime you wish. In short, we must ensure that everyone advances by at least one realm before that woman arrives here!"

An advancement of at least one realm..

Everyone's blood boiled with excitement upon hearing that!

Most of them were already just a step away from becoming a True Saint.

Just then, Zhu Ling suddenly spoke, "Improving our strength is the priority. However, we must also be on guard. We should immediately activate the defensive array at the Sea of Suffering. If that woman attempts to cross the sea now, it will at least slow her down!"

There was a grand array at the Sea of Suffering, and it was placed by the True Saints of the distant past against the Great Daoist Brush Master.

As time passed, their vigilance waned, and they eventually deactivated the array. After all, that war had taken place a very long time ago. With the Sea of Suffering acting as a natural barrier, plus the fact that no one had crossed over after so many years, everyone had long stopped paying attention to that palce.

"Yes, that will be necessary." The Dharma Lord nodded. He swept his gaze across the crowd before saying, "Summon all the knights and holy guards patrolling outside. Inform all the priests to head to the Sea of Suffering at once, and activate every single array there.

"From this moment forth, the Other Shore's alert level is Level One!"

The crowd nodded firmly. "As you wish!"

Just as they were about to leave, the Dharma Lord added, "Once the arrays are in place, send word to all Red-Robed Scholars of the Holy Hall to come to the tiny pagoda to study the spacetime in there."

Then, he turned to Ye Guan for approval.

Ye Guan nodded in return and said, "That's fine for me."

"All right, go now!" the Dharma Lord commanded. freewebnσvel.cѳm

The crowd swiftly departed.

The Dharma Lord then turned to Ye Guan with a kind and respectful gaze. "Holy Son Ye, do you have any requests? As long as it is within our power, the Other Shore will provide you with whatever you need."

"I'm doing this for the Other Shore Holy Ark and all the living beings here. I am going to perform my duty with nary any complaints nor requests. I'm not going to ask for anything in return.

The Ancestral Dao was stunned, and then his thoughts raced. Damn it, these two are playing some kind of mind games against each other, aren't they?!
