Chapter 563: Draw Your Sword!
Surrounded? The two men froze in place at the Temple Master's remark. What was happening? They exchanged a puzzled glance, confusion evident in their eyes. What was all this about?
The Temple Master smiled lightly upon seeing their confused faces. Then, he turned to the man in the blue robe and asked, "You're Ye Guan's grandfather?"
The man in blue nodded slightly. "That's right."
"Then, we've found the right person."
The man in blue blinked. "Has my grandson done something wrong?"
The Temple Master stared deeply at the man in blue. "Yes, and it was quite serious."
The man in blue laughed heartily. "Whatever my grandson has done, I'll take full responsibility for it."
"Do you know who we are?" asked the Temple Master.
Shaking his head, the man in blue admitted, "I don't."
Before the Temple Master could speak, the man in blue added, "But it doesn't matter who you are."
A cold glint flashed in the Temple Master's eyes narrowed eyes. "Such arrogance."
The Temple Master suddenly stepped forward and flipped his palm. A blazing divine light surged toward the man in blue.
"Is that all?" asked the man in blue with furrowed brows. Then, he flicked his sleeve, shattering the blazing divine light.
The Temple Master was stunned.
"Not bad," the Temple Master remarked after a while.
The man in blue was silent, and the Temple Master dared not underestimate him any longer. His figure trembled, and he took to the sky before chanting an ancient incantation in a low voice.
Boom!
A divine light erupted from within the Temple Master, piercing the deep void and opening a golden pathway. The golden pathway was emanating an ancient aura.
The elites of the Temple of the Gods knelt down before the ancient aura.
"We welcome the divine power."
Divine power!
"However, an internal strife among them led to the downfall of many. Our Temple of the Gods is worshiping the gods that had survived that."
The man in blue furrowed his brow in confusion. "Internal strife?"
The Temple Master nodded solemnly in response. "Yes."
The man in blue asked, "Do you know where to find those surviving gods?"
The Temple Master shook his head and replied, "No, we've never had the means to reach out to the gods; it's always been the other way around."
The man in blue nodded in understanding.
"I see," the man in blue acknowledged before turning to the Unfettered Swordsman with a determined grin.
"Time to make a move," the man in blue declared.
The Unfettered Swordsman nodded. "Let's go."
The unique aura that they had sensed here had lured them to this place, and the divine power that the Temple Master had used not too long ago felt the same as that unique aura.
The gods of the ancient era!
The two were intrigued by the ancient era's gods.
Meanwhile, the Temple Master chose to flee. He turned around and ran away, entering a rift in spacetime in a hurry. However, the man in blue and the Unfettered Swordsman intercepted him in no time.
The Temple Master froze, and he realized that he had been cornered. The man in blue stared at the Temple Master with a wry smile. "I'm not interested in you, but you're targeting my grandson, so I cannot let you—"
The man in blue stopped mid-sentence upon sensing a presence. He whipped around along with the Unfettered Swordsman. There was a spacetime rift in the distance, and a woman clad in white robes had walked out of it.
The woman was none other than Sifan Jing!
The man in blue and the Unfettered Swordsman were taken aback by her sudden appearance. Sifan Jing approached them slowly, and her gaze landed on the man in blue.
The man in blue smirked, asking, "Are you here to protect him?"
Sifan Jing glanced at the Temple Master, who hurriedly bowed.
"Clan Leader Jing," the Temple Master said.
Sifan Jing then turned to the man in blue and commanded, "Draw your sword!"
