Chapter 472: A Trap
There's no need for him to attack twice? Song Zhiyan was surprised. Moments later, she smiled and said, "Young Lord Ye, let's spar with each other one day, then."
Ye Guan stared at Song Zhiyan.
Song Zhiyan hurriedly added, "I don't mean anything else by it. I just want to see for myself what a true swordsman is like."
Ye Guan's curiosity was piqued. "Are there very few swordsmen in the Eternal Night Empire?"
"There are extremely few swordsmen here," Song Zhiyan said with a nod.
Ye Guan was puzzled. "How come?"
"When that extraordinary woman from the Eternal Clan became the empress, the Eternal Night Clan and a few sects were unhappy. A war broke out soon afterward, and the most powerful sect of the Eternal Night Empire, the Sword Sect, ended up getting involved."
"Were they annihilated?"
"Yes. The majority of the Sword Sect's swordsmen were killed, while the remaining disciples of the Sword Sect were exiled to the Bitter Cold Realm; they were never seen nor heard from again."
"Does that mean that swordsmen became exceedingly rare here? What happened to the sword inheritances? Was everyone prohibited from becoming a swordsman?"
"Yes, and even if someone were a swordsman, they wouldn't dare to reveal it for fear of being branded as a rebel. Once branded as a rebel, the Eternal Night Army would come and kill them immediately, even without the emperor's permission."
"Does this mean that I shouldn't reveal my identity as a swordsman?"
"Young Lord Ye, you're definitely not a rebel nor a remnant of the Sword Sect. You're from the outside world, and you have the support of the Great Daoist Brush as well.
"However, it'd be better for you to err on the side of caution and hide your true identity to avoid unnecessary trouble.
"I understand," Ye Guan replied with a nod. He was a little surprised. He had no idea that the Eternal Night Realm had outlawed swordsmanship and with such harsh punishment, too. Who would dare to become a swordsman?
Of course, Ye Guan had no interest in the Eternal Night Realm's grudge against swordsmen. He wasn't here to promote swordsmanship, anyway.
Song Zhiyan asked, "Young Lord Ye, do you know the True God personally?"
"Yes," Ye Guan replied.
Song Zhiyan immediately became interested. "Just how strong is she?"
Ye Guan smiled. "Lady Zhiyan, do you want to know more about her?"
Song Zhiyan nodded and explained, "The last time she came to the Eternal Night Empire, she challenged three of our strongest supreme elites, and she defeated them all in just one move. Afterward, she just left without any explanation."
Ye Guan's curiosity was piqued. "She came here just for that fight and then left?"
Song Zhiyan nodded.
Ye Guan smiled wryly and shook his head. Sister Zhen is truly something else...
Song Zhiyan asked, "Are you very close to her?"
"Yes," Ye Guan said.
"How close?"
Ye Guan glanced at Song Zhiyan. This lady seems to be quite the gossipmonger!
Song Zhiyan noticed the peculiar light in Ye Guan's gaze, and she realized that she had asked too many questions, so she immediately apologized, "S-sorry! Senior Great Daoist Brush Master said that you're the True Universe's representative.
"The True Universe's name is quite impactful here, as we all know that the True God is from the True Universe. That's why I asked so many questions."
Cizhen... Ye Guan smiled unknowingly upon recalling their memories together.
"She's my big sister," Ye Guan replied.
Song Zhiyan frowned briefly upon seeing the affectionate smile tugging at Ye Guan's lips.
"Is she your big sister, or is she more than just a big sister?"
"What?" Ye Guan asked, sounding confused.
Song Zhiyan immediately realized that her tongue had slipped, so she hurriedly muttered, "Ah, I see. So, she's your big sister..."
Ye Guan couldn't help but do a double take at Song Zhiyan. Something's weird with this lady...
The carriage stopped just then, and Song Zhiyan said, "We're here."
Song Zhiyan alighted from the carriage, and Ye Guan followed closely behind her.
Ye Guan looked up and saw that they were standing in front of a clan's residence. It was a much bigger and more lavish residence than the Song Residence.
Ye Guan saw a plaque hanging on the entrance that said—Ye[1] Residence.
There was a bustling crowd at the entrance, and many people were making their way into the residence.
Song Zhiyan said, "Young Lord Ye, this way, please."
Ye Guan nodded and followed Song Zhiyan into the residence.
"From this moment on, I will have to refer to you as my cousin, Young Lord Ye," Song Zhiyan said.
"Sure," Ye Guan replied. He had to play along if he wanted to conceal his identity.
The two of them walked up to the entrance, and an old man quickly came forward to greet them. He bowed slightly to Song Zhiyan and said, "Clan Leader Song, the Young Mistress has invited you into the inner hall."
Song Zhiyan nodded.
Ye Guan chimed in, "So, the Ancient Clan is the key to winning the election?"
"Yes," An Shurou said with a nod.
Ye Guan was slightly puzzled. "Isn't the election based on the vote of the people? Why would the Ancient Clan be a deciding factor?"
Ye Shurou explained, "The seventeen states are under the jurisdiction of the empire, but they operate independently. The Ancient Clan has been ruling over their state for a long time, and they have significant influence over there.
"My situation will improve drastically if they choose to stand on my side. The remaining two states that are still on the fence will support me, too."
Ye Guan nodded slightly. "So, if the Ancient Clan supports you, you will have a good chance of winning the elections?"
Ye Shurou shook her head. "Not necessarily. There is another important stage apart from the elections, which is the tournament."
Ye Guan frowned. "Tournament?"
"A candidate for the throne must be proficient in literary and martial arts. Losing in the tournament means disqualification."
"What's the point of this election, then?"
"The winner of the election will receive thirty percent of the King Dao Destiny Aura, which will strengthen them by at least three times."
"Really?"
Ye Shurou nodded.
Ye Guan was silent for a few moments before asking, "Lady Shurou, can we talk privately?"
Everyone in the hall was stunned by Ye Guan's remark.
Ye Shurou looked at Song Zhiyan for a while before saying, "Sure."
Song Zhiyan stood up and smiled at Ye Guan. "You two can talk."
Song Zhiyan then turned around and left. Li Ming and Gu Chen hesitated for a while, but they also left after glancing at Ye Guan.
Soon, only Ye Shurou and Ye Guan were left in the hall.
Ye Shurou smiled. "Young Lord Ye, you're not Zhiyan's cousin, are you?"
Ye Guan nodded. "You have a discerning eye."
"Are you from the outside world?" Ye Shurou asked.
Ye Guan nodded once again.
Ye Shurou was silent for a few moments before saying, "You're willing to help me ascend to the throne in exchange for conditions that are incredibly difficult to fulfill. Is that correct?"
What? She's smarter than I thought... Ye Guan was astonished. Eventually, he decided to tell her everything about the Universe Tribulation and the Time Reversers.
Ye Guan was running out of time, so he decided to be straightforward. After all, there were only two options: cooperate or not. Ye Guan didn't want to waste too much time here.
Ye Shurou paced back and forth across the hall for half an hour before she finally shook her head and said, "Young Lord Ye, even if I do ascend the throne, I won't be able to send troops to assist the True Universe."
Ye Guan stared quietly at Ye Shurou.
Ye Shurou explained, "It's not the Eternal Night Empire's war to fight. The supreme elites here are strong, but they're still no match for the Time Reversers. They're just going to die if I send them out to fight. Hence, I cannot agree to your request, even if you help me become the empress."
Ye Guan argued, "The eruption of the Universe Tribulation affects every living being."
Ye Shurou remained silent.
"The Time Reversers' goal is to annihilate the myriad beings. If the True Universe falls, the Eternal Night Empire will not be spared as well."
Ye Shurou sighed and said, "Young Lord Ye, the Eternal Night Empire is not going to believe you. The Eternal Night Empire will not get involved as long as they're not under any direct threat. People are selfish, after all, and..."
Ye Shurou shook her head and continued, "Young Lord Ye, you're too late."
Ye Guan narrowed his eyes and asked, "The Time Reversers have been here?"
"Yes," Ye Shurou said with a nod.
"They must have promised that if the Eternal Night Empire does not interfere, they will not target you guys. Am I right?"
"They offered more than that," Ye Shurou replied.
Ye Guan stared deeply at Ye Shurou and said, "Let me guess, they offered the True Universe and the Guanxuan Universe to the Eternal Night Empire?"
Ye Shurou nodded and exclaimed, "Brother Anjun, come here!"
A young man clad in an intricate robe walked out. The young man's eyebrows were sharp, and he exuded a domineering aura as a faint smile tugged at his lips
Ye Anjun—the other candidate for the throne!
Little Pagoda spoke for the first time in a while, "Careful."
Rumble!
Thirty terrifying auras abruptly came to life around Ye Guan, and each aura was as strong as a Great Destiny Sovereign.
So this was all a trap!
1. A different "Ye" from Ye Guan's "Ye." The Ye here is "夜" while Ye Guan's Ye is "叶" ?
2. Shurou is 书柔 and 柔 means soft and gentle ?
