Chapter 85: Have You Asked About My Settlement?

 

When the powerful figures of the Helian clan appeared, the faces of the Divine Guard warriors protecting Ye Tianming and Nan Tianqi immediately darkened, because the leader, Clan Chief Helian Yun, was a Circle-Breaking realm expert, while on their side, except for Zhou Yuan, none were Circle-Breaking realm experts.

Helian Yun’s gaze fell directly on Ye Tianming, displaying intense hostility, “As a person of the Guanxuan Universe, you actually colluded with other civilizations to harm the Guanxuan Universe, you…”

“Cut the crap!”

At this moment, Ye Tianming suddenly interrupted Helian Yun, staring at him intently, “You know perfectly well what’s happening in the Guanxuan Universe. If you want to kill me, then come and do it. Why waste time with this nonsense?”

Helian Yun let out a cold laugh, “You insect, I’ll kill you right now.”

With that, he directly launched a punch toward Ye Tianming.

Targeted by a top-tier Circle-Breaking realm expert, in an instant, Ye Tianming felt unable to breathe. Death had never been so close to him as it was at this moment.

Against an expert of this level, he had absolutely no room to resist!

He didn’t even know how many realms these people were above him now.

Even so, he hadn’t thought of surrendering without a fight. Just as he was about to draw his sword, a loud laugh suddenly echoed across the scene, “A Circle-Breaking realm expert attacking a young boy? Have you no shame?”

As the voice fell, a terrifying aura suddenly swept across the scene, like thousands of galloping horses violently crashing toward Helian Yun.

Boom!

This collision forcefully pushed Helian Yun back nearly a thousand zhang, and as soon as he stopped, the galaxy behind him instantly collapsed, turning into a pitch-black spatial abyss, extremely terrifying.

After Helian Yun stopped, he looked up toward the distance. Not far from Ye Tianming and the others stood a middle-aged man. The man was powerfully built with a resolute air about him. His entire body emanated an aura like boiling water, continuously rippling outward, causing the galaxy to tremble, incredibly terrifying.

Circle-Breaking realm!

Helian Yun stared at the middle-aged man, his expression solemn, “Who are you!”

The middle-aged man ignored Helian Yun and instead turned to look at Nan Tianqi, “Your Highness, you should leave first.”

Nan Tianqi stared at the middle-aged man, “Commander Mu, be careful.”

Commander Mu, one of the three commanders of the Divine Guard.

After Nan Tianqi finished speaking, she directly grabbed Ye Tianming’s arm and shattered space, performing a space-time jump, while the Divine Guard warriors closely followed.

Seeing Nan Tianqi and the others escape, Helian Yun angrily shouted: “Stop them!”

As he spoke, he was about to forcefully intercept Nan Tianqi and the others, but at this moment, a terrifying divine consciousness directly locked onto him.

Helian Yun turned to look at Commander Mu, who laughed loudly, “Let me see what level the Circle-Breaking realm experts of the Guanxuan Universe are at.”

With that, he suddenly charged forward, throwing a punch fiercely toward Helian Yun.

The galaxy instantly extinguished!

Feeling the terrifying power of his opponent’s punch, Helian Yun’s expression became extremely solemn. He knew he had encountered a veteran Circle-Breaking realm expert and didn’t dare to be careless. He immediately summoned the ancestral weapon of the Helian family, a ‘Sacred Weapon,’ then activated it and charged fiercely toward Commander Mu.

Meanwhile, the Helian clan experts behind him immediately rushed toward Nan Tianqi and Ye Tianming. All those who came this time were top experts of the Helian clan. They quickly caught up with Nan Tianqi and Ye Tianming. The Divine Guard warriors surrounding Nan Tianqi and Ye Tianming immediately turned to face the Helian clan experts.

The remaining Divine Guard warriors continued to protect Ye Tianming and Nan Tianqi as they rushed toward the edge of the universe. They had to leave the Guanxuan Universe; only by leaving would they have a chance to survive.

Nan Tianqi looked toward the edge of the galaxy, her expression solemn. She naturally understood their current predicament, but what she was thinking about was the Ancient Civilization. If the Ancient Civilization didn’t stand on her side, then even if they escaped the Guanxuan Universe, they would have absolutely no chance of survival.

Would the Ancient Civilization stand on her side?

Nan Tianqi slowly closed her eyes. It could be said that this time she had bet everything.

“Princess Qi!”

At this moment, a Divine Guard warrior suddenly said gravely: “A group of mysterious experts are heading toward us. They will catch up with us in at most a quarter of an hour…”

Nan Tianqi looked at the Divine Guard warriors beside her. All of them had solemn expressions, but there was not a hint of fear in their eyes, only a readiness to face death.

Looking at these Divine Guard warriors who were risking their lives to protect her and Ye Tianming, Nan Tianqi naturally felt guilty, because she knew that possibly all the Divine Guard warriors would die in the Guanxuan Universe.

Nan Tianqi suddenly pulled Ye Tianming to her side. She looked at all the Divine Guard warriors in the field, “After Yang Jia takes direct control of the Guanxuan Universe, he will inevitably launch a war against the entire universe, and eventually our Ancient Civilization will not be spared. This Young Master Ye may perhaps be the only person who can stop Yang Jia in the future!”

Her rescue of Ye Tianming was certainly not due to emotional reasons. As the princess of the Ancient Civilization, she would naturally not drag her civilization into war for personal reasons. Rather, she saw clearly that after Yang Jia took direct control, he would definitely want to unify the entire universe, which meant that the Ancient Civilization and the Guanxuan Universe would eventually have to fight.

In Ye Tianming, she saw a possibility—that Ye Tianming might be able to contend with Yang Jia in the future.

Facing a super second-generation like Yang Jia, someone needed to stand up to counterbalance him, because Yang Jia was not the Sword Master of Guanxuan and had not been raised in the wild. Such a person could not empathize with the common people. Additionally, with the current bottomless greed of the various great families and sects in the Guanxuan Universe, if the Yang family unified the entire universe, it would be a disaster for everyone!

She told these things to the Divine Guard warriors to let them know what they were fighting for—they were fighting for the future of the Ancient Civilization.

A Divine Guard warrior respectfully said: “Your Highness, you need not tell us these things. A soldier’s duty is to obey orders. Whatever you say, we will do.”

Nan Tianqi was about to speak when suddenly the galaxy to the right began to boil, followed by a terrifying aura rolling toward them. The entire galaxy boiled like water, extremely terrifying.

Circle-Breaking realm!

That aura came like thunder directly toward Nan Tianqi and the others.

But at this moment, a giant hand suddenly shattered space and appeared in this part of the galaxy, then crushed down hard on that aura.

Boom!

That part of the galaxy directly shattered, countless stars extinguished.

“Princess Qi, the person ahead is extremely powerful, be careful.”

An ancient voice transmitted from the depths of the universe.

Ling Chuan, one of the three commanders of the Divine Guard, had blocked the Circle-Breaking realm expert coming from the Guanxuan Universe.

As that voice fell, the distant galaxy suddenly split open, and a group of powerful experts rushed out. There were only one hundred and thirty of them, but each was a Half-Step Circle-Breaking realm expert, with extremely terrifying auras.

The An family of Qingzhou!

This ancient family lineage wasn’t just a thousand years old; it had been passed down for tens of millions of years.

Leading the An family was an old man who stared at Nan Tianqi and the others, “Princess Qi, do you think you can safely leave the Guanxuan Universe?”

As he spoke, he stepped forward, and a terrifying pressure instantly enveloped Nan Tianqi and all the others.

Circle-Breaking realm!

Seeing this, Nan Tianqi’s face darkened. She hadn’t expected the An family to have two Circle-Breaking realm experts.

The An family elder did not attack Nan Tianqi and Ye Tianming, but instead turned to look to the right, “Come out.”

As he spoke, he waved his sleeve.

Boom!

The region of space thousands of zhang away suddenly collapsed, followed by a ghostly shadow slowly floating out.

Behind this shadow were over a hundred more shadowy figures. These shadows were like ghosts, flickering between existence and non-existence, without any trace of aura, mysterious and unpredictable.

Seeing these mysterious experts, a smile immediately appeared on Nan Tianqi’s face, and at the same time, her anxious heart finally settled down.

Ancient Shadow Guards!

The most mysterious army of the Ancient Civilization, created by the founding ancestor of the Ancient Civilization and passed down to this day. They only took orders from the ruler of the Ancient Civilization, and now that they had appeared here, it meant that the Ancient Civilization had chosen to stand on her side.

Now there was real hope of leaving the Guanxuan Universe alive.

Of course, she didn’t dare to be complacent. No civilization dared to underestimate the Guanxuan Universe, including the legendary True World.

The An family elder stared at the group of Ancient Shadow Guards, his face expressionless, “You think you can shake our Guanxuan Universe with just yourselves? Dreaming.”

With that, he waved his sleeve again, and a terrifying ten-thousand-zhang lightning pillar shot out from his sleeve, accelerating rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it reached the Ancient Shadow Guards. The terrifying lightning aura seemed as if it would crush them, extremely frightening.

The leading Ancient Shadow Guard commander suddenly stepped forward. He pointed with his fingers, and instantly, tens of thousands of afterimages shot out, immediately shattering the lightning bolt. At the same time, a cold light shot directly toward the distant An family elder, who had already disappeared from his original position, transforming into a bolt of lightning that violently crashed toward him.

Boom!

The part of the galaxy where the two met directly exploded like fireworks, then instantly annihilated, becoming a void.

The two separated immediately after contact.

The An family elder stared at the Ancient Shadow Guard commander, his eyes showing a trace of solemnity. The Ancient Civilization was indeed worthy of being a civilization from the ancient era, still possessing some strength.

The Ancient Shadow Guard commander suddenly said: “Escort Princess Qi and Young Master Ye away.”

As his voice fell, the Ancient Shadow Guards behind him suddenly became illusory. When they reappeared, they had completely surrounded Nan Tianqi and Ye Tianming. The next moment, a group of Ancient Shadow Guards directly took Nan Tianqi and Ye Tianming and rushed toward the distance!

“Trying to leave?”

In the distance, an An family expert’s voice exploded like muffled thunder, “Have you asked my An family?”

As the voice fell, a group of An family experts directly rushed toward Nan Tianqi, Ye Tianming, and the others.
