Chapter 91: The Woman in the Plain Dress Must Die!

 

When the woman in the plain dress appeared, the expressions of all the Guanxuan Universe powerhouses changed instantly, because the entire Xiao family had previously been slaughtered by this woman.

The Guanxuan Universe Academy immediately began investigating the identity of the woman in the plain dress, but to their shock, they couldn’t find anything at all.

Nothing at all!

With the current intelligence capabilities of the Guanxuan Universe, they could investigate not only within the Guanxuan Universe but also all universes except the True World. There was supposedly no one they couldn’t track down, but regarding this woman in the plain dress, even after utilizing all their intelligence resources, they still came up empty-handed.

Of course, what they didn’t know was that as long as this woman didn’t wish it, no one in the world could sense her existence.

But it didn’t matter. The Guanxuan Universe feared no one and no force in the world.

This wasn’t arrogance—the Guanxuan Universe had the confidence and strength to back it up.

Xu Yuan stared at the woman in the plain dress. “There can only be one Tianming in this world, and that is our young master. Besides our young master, no one else has the right to be called Tianming. Who……”

The woman in the plain dress suddenly extended a finger and gently pointed.

“Be careful!”

An elder beside Xu Yuan’s expression changed drastically. He quickly moved in front of Xu Yuan, about to take action, but in the next moment, he was horrified to find that both his head and Xu Yuan’s head behind him flew off simultaneously.

Two streams of blood gushed out like fountains!

Instant kill!

Seeing this, everyone present was stunned.

The elder who had stood in front of Xu Yuan was a Break Circle Realm powerhouse! How could he be killed so easily?

All the Guanxuan Universe powerhouses were dumbfounded.

The surrounding Celestial Dragon Clan powerhouses and Ancient Civilization powerhouses were also frozen in shock. They looked at the woman in the plain dress in disbelief. Where had such a powerful figure come from?

As Xu Yuan and the elder’s heads flew off, their eyes were wide open, filled with disbelief… until death, they never imagined they would be killed so easily.

At this moment, the warships of the Celestial Treasure Pavilion suddenly all turned toward the woman in the plain dress. All the Guanxuan Universe powerhouses quickly locked their auras onto her.

In the distance, the group of Sword Sect powerhouses also released their sword auras to lock onto the woman in the plain dress. The Sword Sect Master at the lead frowned deeply, staring intently at the woman because she felt a sense of familiarity, yet couldn’t recall who she was.

That feeling… the Sword Sect Master’s pupils suddenly contracted as something occurred to her. She suddenly realized that it wasn’t that she couldn’t remember the woman, but rather that her abilities were insufficient to perceive her.

Just as the Guanxuan Universe powerhouses were about to attack the woman in the plain dress, a voice suddenly came from the distance, “Stop.”

As the words fell, space tore open in the distance, and a Break Circle Realm powerhouse emerged with a man.

That man was Yang Jia. He now looked very weak and needed the support of the powerhouse beside him. Evidently, he had just regained consciousness after being backlashed by the Madness Bloodline, and his condition was extremely poor. Half of his body had not fully recovered, and his soul was extremely weak.

Upon seeing Yang Jia, all the Guanxuan Universe powerhouses immediately bowed respectfully, “Greetings, Young Master.”

Yang Jia slowly raised his head to look at Ye Tianming in the distance. After a moment, he said, “Retreat.”

Retreat!

Everyone was stunned.

Just retreat like that?

A Guanxuan Academy powerhouse hesitated, then said, “Young Master, if we kill these people now, we can take the opportunity to sweep through the entire universe…”

The other family heads also quickly came forward to advise, stating that this was a once-in-a-millennium opportunity for the Guanxuan Universe. Moreover, the Guanxuan Universe now had the ability to unify the entire universe. Once unified, the power of the Guanxuan Academy would again see a tremendous increase, which was the only way to confront their future great enemy, the True World.

More and more people came forward to offer advice.

Seeing this, Nan Tianqi in the distance frowned, as she realized that this Young Master Yang Jia seemed to lack absolute control over the Guanxuan Universe. But thinking about it, it made sense—Yang Jia wasn’t his father Ye Guan, lacking Ye Guan’s absolute power. In the eyes of these families and sects, he was undoubtedly just a child.

Since ancient times, young emperors have always been looked down upon by their ministers, even marginalized.

Yang Jia looked at those offering advice, his gaze suddenly turning cold. “Sword Sect.”

Whoosh!

With the sound of thousands of swords resonating, thousands of sword cultivators rushed to his side, surrounding him completely.

The Sword Sect Master coldly looked at the family and sect powerhouses surrounding them, making them all tremble with fear.

Yang Jia coldly swept his gaze across everyone present. “Retreat. Anyone who speaks again dies.”

With that, he turned to leave.

The Sword Sect powerhouses quickly escorted him away.

Around them, although the family and sect powerhouses were reluctant, none dared to offer further advice, as the Sword Sect was watching.

With no other option, they transferred their resentment to Ye Tianming and the others in the distance. One powerhouse suddenly pointed angrily at Ye Tianming, “This person is our Young Master’s great enemy. Today we must eliminate him.”

As he spoke, he launched a punch across space toward Ye Tianming.

Clearly, he was trying to forcibly provoke a war.

Although the woman in the plain dress had the power to instantly kill a Break Circle Realm powerhouse, so what? The Sword Sect Master could do the same, and not just her—their ancestors could too. At worst, they would summon their ancestors, and in this world, who could summon more ancestors than the Guanxuan Universe?

Unifying the entire universe would bring too many benefits to the major families and sects for them to give up so easily.

“How dare you!”

In the distance, Yang Jia erupted in anger. Almost simultaneously, the Sword Sect Master’s sword left its sheath, instantly reaching that powerhouse and forcing him back nearly ten thousand feet. As soon as he stopped, his physical body exploded, splattering blood!

That powerhouse glared at the Sword Sect Master, “What are you doing!”

Some family and sect powerhouses also glared at the Sword Sect Master, with one saying, “You’re helping outsiders?”

The Sword Sect Master looked at him coldly, “The Young Master said, anyone who speaks again dies.”

That powerhouse was furious and was about to speak when he noticed Yang Jia’s sword-like gaze turning toward him.

The powerhouse naturally didn’t dare to meet Yang Jia’s eyes and immediately lowered his head slightly.

Yang Jia slowly turned to look at those families and sects. Although no one dared to meet his gaze, he clearly understood that these families and sects had not truly submitted to him yet. After all, he was not his father, and these families and sects had developed over thousands of years, their power far exceeding what it was in his father’s era. Although his realm was high now, it was still far from enough to completely intimidate them.

If his father weren’t still alive, the position of Guanxuan Universe Academy Chancellor might not necessarily have fallen to him.

Worth mentioning is that as Yang Jia swept his gaze over those families and sects, the Sword Sect Master’s sword kept trembling, her killing intent unprecedented. Her gaze followed Yang Jia’s as it swept over each family and sect. No one doubted that if anyone dared to meet Yang Jia’s eyes or challenge his authority, the Sword Sect Master would act without hesitation.

No one in the scene dared to meet Yang Jia’s gaze.

Yang Jia took one last look at Ye Tianming in the distance, then turned to leave.

This time, no one dared to cause trouble. Even if reluctant, they all had to follow and leave.

Upon seeing all the Guanxuan Universe powerhouses retreat, the Ancient Civilization powerhouses all breathed sighs of relief, because if a fight had broken out, the Ancient Civilization would have had little chance of victory. The power displayed by the Guanxuan Universe was simply too terrifying.

The Ancient Civilization powerhouses and Celestial Dragon Clan powerhouses all looked toward the woman in the plain dress. She, however, was looking at Ye Tianming. Ye Tianming was also looking at her, with an unprecedented feeling arising in his heart.

That feeling, he couldn’t describe.

As that feeling grew stronger, Ye Tianming unconsciously said, “You are my……”

The woman in the plain dress suddenly turned to look at Nan Tianqi in the distance.

Ye Tianming was slightly stunned, then lowered his head, his eyes filled with disappointment.

The woman in the plain dress looked at Nan Tianqi. She didn’t speak, but merely waved her sleeve. The ancient divine tower in the distance suddenly trembled violently, followed by countless runes coming back to life. Terrifying Dao auras spread throughout heaven and earth!

Three thousand six hundred Daos were reborn at this moment and underwent qualitative changes!

Not only that, but from this point on, no one would be able to seal that ancient divine tower again. The tower seemed to sense something and began to tremble violently, as if in gratitude. Soon, it transformed into a beam of divine light and entered Nan Tianqi’s forehead.

It had chosen its master!

Seeing this, all the Ancient Civilization powerhouses were stunned.

Since the ancient divine tower was created by the Ancient Civilization Lord, it had only recognized one master—the brilliant deity Sang Mei from that era. Now, this ancient divine tower had directly chosen Nan Tianqi as its master… and everyone felt that the tower had somehow changed.

The Ancient Civilization powerhouses all looked toward the woman in the plain dress, shocked and puzzled about who she could be to possess such incredible divine abilities.

When Nan Tiansi saw this, he was also slightly stunned, then smiled and shook his head, knowing that from now on, the next Civilization Lord of the Ancient Civilization would undoubtedly be Nan Tianqi. Not just because of this ancient divine tower, but also because of this woman in the plain dress!

This mysterious woman’s power was unfathomable, and the Ancient Civilization couldn’t possibly miss this opportunity to establish a connection with her.

Nan Tianqi was also dumbfounded, having never expected to suddenly receive such an opportunity.

Just then, the woman in the plain dress slowly turned to look at the Celestial Dragon Clan powerhouses. “From this day forward, all sins of the Celestial Dragon Clan are absolved.”

Boom!

In a distant, barren universe, all Celestial Dragons seemed to sense something. They all raised their heads, and in the next moment, all their former restrictions disappeared. In their place, the dragon race’s fortune began to rise rapidly. In the blink of an eye, the fortune that had turned black changed to deep purple and continued to rise.

All sins, absolved.

On this barren land, countless Celestial Dragons looked up, their faces filled with bewilderment.

They never imagined that a thousand years of restrictions and fortune suppression would suddenly disappear. Not only that, but the Celestial Dragon Clan’s fortune had received a tremendous boost, even surpassing what it had been at the clan’s peak.

What exactly had happened?

The Celestial Dragons were completely confused.

At the border of the Guanxuan Universe.

The Celestial Dragons present also sensed the change. They looked at the woman in the plain dress in disbelief, but she said nothing more and turned to leave.

Seeing her about to depart, Ye Tianming suddenly gathered his courage and looked at her, asking in a trembling voice, “Are you my mother?”

In the distance, the woman in the plain dress stopped. She remained silent for a while, and ultimately said nothing. She gradually became ethereal and soon completely disappeared from everyone’s sight.

Seeing this, Ye Tianming’s vision suddenly blurred. After a moment, he smiled self-mockingly, “She’s so powerful… how could I possibly be her son…”

Not far away, Nan Yuan shifted his gaze from where the woman had disappeared and looked at the golden-robed man of the Celestial Dragon Clan. “Would you all like to accompany me to the Ancient Civilization?”

The golden-robed man pondered briefly, then nodded.

The Celestial Dragon Clan could not possibly return to the Guanxuan Universe now. If they could form an alliance with the Ancient Civilization, it would not be a bad thing for the current Celestial Dragon Clan. Moreover, he needed to take Ye Tianming and the deceased Fu Cang back to the Celestial Dragon Clan.

Soon, everyone left the scene.

Guanxuan Universe.

Yang Jia led everyone back to the Guanxuan Academy, and in the Guanxuan Hall,At this moment, the argument had reached a fever pitch. The heads of major families, sect leaders, and academy principals were all engaged in debate. It appeared to be a discussion, but in reality, they were expressing dissatisfaction, as this was the best opportunity to unify the entire universe.

Someone said: “That woman in the plain dress behind Ye Tianming is incredibly powerful, definitely not an ordinary person…”

Another person said: “What’s there to fear! She may be able to instantly kill those at the Breaking Circle realm, but our ancestors could do that too, and besides, we have numbers on our side.”

An elderly man angrily replied: “Is something wrong with your brain? How do you know that instantly killing those at the Breaking Circle realm is her limit? What if it’s not her limit?”

A cabinet academy principal also said: “Everyone, don’t be too arrogant. The Qingxuan Sword is the number one divine sword, yet it couldn’t overcome the sword in Ye Tianming’s hand. This isn’t normal. That woman in the plain dress’s strength isn’t normal either. If we act rashly…”

“What’s there to fear!”

The war faction immediately retorted, “With the Guanxuan Sword Master as our foundation, what do we have to fear from her… The Guanxuan Sword Master is invincible, the Yang family is invincible!!”

“The Guanxuan Sword Master is invincible!”

“The Yang family is invincible!”

“We must avenge this humiliation. That Ye Tianming must die, that woman in the plain dress behind Ye Tianming must die. Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill!”

“We can’t be reckless. This matter isn’t simple… We must handle this with caution. That Ye Tianming and that woman in the plain dress are both extraordinary. We absolutely cannot underestimate our enemies again! This matter requires careful planning…”

“You cowardly dog, you’re boosting others’ morale while dampening our own. You don’t deserve to be part of the Guanxuan universe…”

That person: “…”
