I Have A Sword

The Great Daoist Brush Master was so furious that he laughed.Have faith in him? In his dreams!

However, Gu Pan suddenly asked, "Have faith in you? You practice the Order Dao?"

Ye Guan quickly nodded. "Yes."

His real target wasn't the Great Daoist Brush Master, but Gu Pan. He knew the Great Daoist Brush Master would never believe in him.

However, Gu Pan would probably have faith in him, as he cared a lot about that spirit essence. As long as Gu Pan believed in him, Ye Guan would immediately take the opportunity to eliminate the Great Daoist Brush Master.

He would have the upper hand afterward!

Gu Pan looked slightly tempted.

The Great Daoist Brush Master chuckled. "Gu Pan, if you choose to have faith in him, his power will greatly increase. Even if you obtain the spirit essence, he'll still end up with all the profit. And the fact that this guy dares to reveal that puppet means he definitely has more than one..."

Gu Pan's face darkened.

He disliked the Great Daoist Brush Master, but what he said was true. Gu Pan didn't dare to help Ye Guan kill the Great Daoist Brush Master. It was simple. If the Great Daoist Brush Master were allowed to die, Ye Guan would become invincible.

Gu Pan would have no say in anything by then.

However, the two of them were restraining each other, allowing Gu Pan to have some influence and the liberty of choice. Neither Ye Guan nor the Great Daoist Brush Master would dare to target him lightly.

Seeing Gu Pan fall silent, Ye Guan understood his thoughts. The guy wasn't dumb. On the contrary, he was extremely shrewd, which made sense. At his level of strength, he couldn't be an idiot.

The Great Daoist Brush Master suddenly added, "Even if you believe in him, that might not be enough to defeat the Bloodflame Knight.

"That knight not just handled us with ease but even suppressed all three of us. That knight must be comparable to an eighth-level True Dao expert."

Gu Pan stared at the Bloodflame Knight and decided. "We'll come back another time."

The Great Daoist Brush Master turned to Ye Guan with a mocking smile.

Ye Guan shrugged; he was not disappointed at all. He'd only been testing the waters anyway. Besides, Gu Pan hadn't rejected the idea immediately, which meant there was still a chance in the future.

The three turned and left; the Bloodflame Knight didn't chase them. After they had gone some distance, the knight suddenly dissolved into a pool of blood once more.

The three returned to the main path and continued forward.

It was deep in the night; the surroundings were terrifyingly dark.

Ye Guan suddenly looked at the mysterious soul attached to the Great Daoist Brush Master and asked, "What kind of being is the Soul God?"

He was still curious about those so-called "gods" from the Boundary of Truth and Illusion.

The mysterious soul said, "The so-called 'god' is just a title. Transcendents with sufficient levels of the True Dao can establish their own unique Dao lineage and claim the title of 'god.'

"Of course, doing that is easier said than done."

Ye Guan asked, "You didn't make it?"

The mysterious soul smiled. "I fell just short."

Ye Guan was curious. "How many of these 'gods' are there in the Boundary of Truth and Illusion?"

The mysterious soul said, "That's hard to say."

Ye Guan frowned, asking, "You don't know?"

"The Boundary of Truth and Illusion is vast. And because of certain special reasons, the spacetime there is incredibly complex..." the mysterious soul replied.

Ye Guan asked again, "Then why did you come here?"

This time, the mysterious soul was silent.

Seeing that, Ye Guan didn't press any further.

Gu Pan sneered, "What else but to plunder?"

The mysterious soul replied, "It is plundering, yes. But not of this virtual world's resources. We came for a divine artifact that originally belonged to the Boundary of Truth and Illusion..."

Ye Guan curiously asked, "A divine artifact?"

"Mmhm." The mysterious soul nodded and went silent. Clearly, he didn't want to reveal more details.

Ye Guan didn't ask more questions. He looked around. He was truly curious about that great war in the past.

From the mysterious soul's words, he learned some things. The top-tier "gods" from the Boundary of Truth and Illusion had come to this virtual world to fight the Ancient God Nation for a divine artifact.

And based on the current situation, even though the Ancient God Nation had fallen, those so-called "gods" had suffered heavy losses, too.

Was the Ancient God Nation reallythatterrifying?

Normally, high-dimensional civilizations could easily crush those lower than them, and the spacetime here was clearly inferior to the spacetime within the Boundary of Truth and Illusion.

Ye Guan looked at the Great Daoist Brush Master. He definitely knows something.

The Great Daoist Brush Master glanced at Ye Guan. "I'm not telling you."

Ye Guan smiled. "As long as you're happy."

The Great Daoist Brush Master looked away and continued walking.

Suddenly, the mysterious soul asked, "Young Master Ye, did you inherit the legacy of that Bizarre God?"

Ye Guan nodded. "Mmhm."

The mysterious soul said, "That god had an artifact, a talisman. Is it on you?"

Ye Guan frowned. "A mysterious talisman? I didn't see anything like that!"

The mysterious soul went quiet for a moment, then said, "It was a Dao Artifact, the Bizarre God's greatest treasure. Its power was immense, but it had a major flaw... But since you didn't get it, there's no need to worry."

Ye Guan was speechless.

The Great Daoist Brush Master and Gu Pan exchanged a glance.

Ye Guan was clearly not being honest!

The mysterious soul added, "Young Master Ye, you are no ordinary man. That Bizarre God wasn't just incredibly powerful; he was also extremely cunning. In that war, he survived using his wits alone.

"He was one of the very few 'gods' who made it out alive. And for you to obtain his inheritance... is no small feat."

Ye Guan smiled. "All thanks to the senior Bizarre God's appreciation."

The Great Daoist Brush Master suddenly said, "Stop pretending, you liar. That Bizarre God died at your hands. No... you're too weak to kill him. If I'm not mistaken, he was killed by your—"

Ye Guan smiled. "Great Daoist Brush Master, you still believe that I called in some backup, but that is not the case at all. If you don't believe me, then let's cancel the deal!"

The Great Daoist Brush Master's eyes narrowed into slits. He knew that if the deal were canceled, Ye Guan would become completely unrestrained.

And he had no doubt Ye Guan would immediately call in his family to kill him!

After weighing it, the Great Daoist Brush Master looked at Ye Guan and laughed. "I believe you. How could someone like you ever call for help? If I'm right, that Bizarre God must have provoked your relatives. Am I right?"

Ye Guan said nothing.

The Great Daoist Brush Master looked away and calmly said, "You're worse than your father. Your father just lies to himself. But you? You really never call for help, yet your enemies always 'accidentally' provoke your family.

"That way, your conscience stays clean. After all, you didn't call anyone; your enemies brought it on themselves. You wash your hands that way, avoiding an inner demon..."

"Isn't that right?"

Ye Guan said calmly, "Are you trying to shatter my Dao Heart?"

"Haha!" The Great Daoist Brush Master laughed. "How could I break your Dao heart? You can even deceive your own heart. How could anyone else possibly break it?"

Ye Guan smiled. "Let's look at this from another angle. From the start, you've been targeting me... Is it fair to me that you've been hounding me?"

The Great Daoist Brush Master said nothing.

Ye Guan continued, "You keep talking about my family. You bullying me is fine, but my family bullying you isn't fine? Aren't you being a bit hypocritical there?"

The Great Daoist Brush Master turned to say something, but Ye Guan's eyes suddenly turned blood-red. "Say one more word, and I'll call them now. My father, my aunt, my grandfather, and my uncle. I'll have them all come and chop you up!"

The air instantly became tense!

After a moment of silence, the Great Daoist Brush Master suddenly turned to Gu Pan, who was several meters behind him, and shouted, "Can you walk any slower?! You almost ran into me! What?! Are you in a rush to reincarnate!?"

Gu Pan was confused. Then, his face turned green with rage, and he burst into flames. "Fuck! How dare you treat me as if I'm some kind of pushover!"
