Unrivaled Medicine God 121 to 140

"En? Is someone challenging the Nine Heavens Road? And they succeeded?"

Ye Yuan was dumbfounded when he saw the reappearance of the Rainbow Road.

Feng Ruoqing also had a stunned look. She also did not expect that Long Tang could really clear the Nine Heavens Road!

"It’s Long Tang! I didn’t think that he would really succeed!"

Ye Yuan curled his mouth. "Didn’t everyone say that the Nine Heavens Road is a death zone? Looks like it’s nothing more than this!"

At any rate, Ye Yuan did not experience overwhelming difficulty. But since other people also successfully cleared it, then the legend of the Nine Heavens Road was somewhat untrue.

But Feng Ruoqing shook her head and said, "You’re wrong. The Nine Heavens Road is truly difficult to the extreme. Even if I go and challenge it with my current realm, it would be very tough to retreat unscathed. Long Tang being able to clear it can only mean that his potential is enormous!"

Ye Yuan recalled the terror of that final sword and immediately approved of Feng Ruoqing’s statement.

He could withstand that sword, but that did not mean that others could also endure that sword. If the array was at full blast, Feng Ruoqing would really perish if she entered it.

"Alright. The Endless Trials are about to begin. Let’s head over first."

. . . . . .

Earth rank and Heaven rank students were already assembled in the central square. The square was densely packed. There were most likely several thousand people.

Because the strength of Black rank and Yellow rank students were too poor, they were not required to participate in the Endless Trials.

They would only become cannon fodder if they go anyway.

The aim of the academy organizing this Endless Trials was to train students, not to send them to die.

The crowd of students clearly also saw the wondrous view of the Rainbow Road reappearing. Each one of them was struck dumb by shock.

The legendary Nine Heavens Road was actually cleared consecutively. After the astonishment, it made the thoughts of many who proclaimed themselves geniuses to waver.

Zuo Bugui looked at that tiny figure on the Nine Heavens Road with indescribable shock.

"He actually made it through! Could it be that he and I are already no longer of the same world?" Zuo Bugui murmured to himself.

Zuo Bugui sucked in a deep breath, and could not resist looking for Ye Yuan’s figure among the crowd.

It was that person who changed Long Tang and made him undergo a transformation.

Just what kind of magic powers did Ye Yuan have? Why couldn’t he feel it?

This search really made him see Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan and Feng Ruoqing were chatting and laughing as they made their way over, filling the bystanders with jealousy.

Zuo Bugui did not mind that. But no matter how he sensed, he could not feel that so-called ’magic power’ on Ye Yuan.

"Senior Apprentice Brother Long is truly talented! He made it past the Nine Heavens Road as expected! He is fully deserving of the number one in the academy!" This was a loyal Long Tang fan.

"Is your brain rotten? It’s already been four days since Senior Apprentice Brother Long challenged the Nine Heavens Road. Ye Yuan only used the greater part of a day to challenge the Nine Heavens Road. The two of them are simply incomparable, okay? Furthermore, Ye Yuan made it past the Nine Heavens Road at the Essence Qi Realm. His potential is limitless!"

"So what? In terms of strength, Ye Yuan is far off. Senior Apprentice Brother Long can defeat him with just one hand! Also, as long as one passed the Nine Heavens Road, they would have the status of the high sect’s core disciple."

"Not going to argue with a brain-dead fan like you. Senior Apprentice Brother Long’s lead is only temporary. Ye Yuan will surpass him before long."

Ye Yuan and Long Tang, as the number one person of the new and old generation, both also having cleared the Nine Heavens Road, possessed a large group of loyal fans each.

On the stage of the square, Zhang Songtao was also ecstatic to see Long Tang clear the Nine Heavens Road.

"Haha . . . truly invigorating! Two geniuses who made it past the Nine Heavens Road actually appeared consecutively in my State of Qin’s Dan Wu Academy! We can stand up with our heads high! Let’s see if those bunch of grandsons dare to show off in front of me when I see them in the future!"

Hu Changsheng also stroked his beard lightly as he said with a smile, "Truly unexpected! Heaven is protecting my State of Qin’s Dan Wu Academy. To have two peerless geniuses appear consecutively!"

Su Yubai had seen Ye Yuan long ago. He snickered coldly while looking at him.

Wasn’t it just clearing the Nine Heavens Road? What was there to be cocky about?! To actually use the status of the high sect’s core disciple to suppress Your Father!

Now, Long Tang cleared the Nine Heavens Road as well. Let’s see what you have to be arrogant about!

Su Yubai already made the decision to rope in Long Tang at all costs.

This kind of people would definitely become a powerhouse of their generation. With him covering the Su Family, they would be as stable as Mt Tai for the next few centuries!

And Ye Yuan would surely become a quietly fallen comet after this Endless Trials, becoming a bygone.

. . . . . .

Long Tang came.

The clothes on him already became strips of rags. His aura was also somewhat disorderly, making him appear somewhat ragged. There was a sharp contrast with Ye Yuan calmly clearing the Nine Heavens Road.

It was obvious from his condition that the Nine Heavens Road was not so fun. Long Tang definitely experienced terrifying attacks on the Nine Heavens Road.

However, while Long Tang’s aura was disorderly, his entire person was displaying his edge fully; complete polar opposites from his usual self.

This point was very similar to Ye Yuan.

"Hahaha! What a fine Long Tang! Truly remarkable! Indeed worthy of being number one on the Martial Roll! The way I see it, your potential is even greater than Mo Yuntian and Ye Yuan!" Su Yubai went up to greet him with a hearty laugh.

Su Yubai’s words incurred many people’s disgust. They also saw his intention to rope him in, but nobody dared to say anything.

There was a vast difference between whether Long Tang passed the Nine Heavens Road or not.

If he made it past the Nine Heavens Road, Long Tang’s future accomplishments would absolutely increase multiple folds.

If he failed to make it past the Nine Heavens Road, then he would at most be an expert in the State of Qin. It obviously would not be worth it for Su Yubai to pull him in then.

Long Tang did not show much of a reaction towards Su Yubai’s solicitation. He just bowed slightly and said, "Many thanks for Elder Su’s praise. Long Tang doesn’t deserve this!"

"Worthy! Worthy! What’s there to be undeserving about? You, Long Tang, have always been the absolute number one in the academy. Now, you even cleared the Nine Heavens Road. Who would dare say that you are undeserving?" Su Yubai said smilingly.

If it was somebody else, they would more or less have to expound on the Disciplinary Hall’s First Elder’s solicitation. But Long Tang shook his head and said, "Senior Apprentice Brother Mo is a senior who already left the Dan Wu Academy. It isn’t good to compare with him. As for Ye Yuan . . . I am vastly inferior to him! If I did not clear the Nine Heavens Road, I could perhaps still numb myself. But now that I’ve experienced it for myself, I know just how gifted Ye Yuan is! This title of number one, Long Tang dare not accept!"

Following Long Tang’s words, Su Yubai’s face grew increasingly darker.

Long Tang’s words were undoubtedly giving him, Su Yubai, a slap in front of thousands of people!

How awkward was this for the lofty Disciplinary Hall’s First Elder?

But Long Tang ignored Su Yubai’s complexion and circled around Su Yubai to come in front of Zhang Songtao. He was the highest figure hosting this Endless Trials.

"Dean Zhang, Long Tang came here for two matters. The first is to request not to take part in the Endless Trials this time. Long Tang has just passed the Nine Heavens Road and have some gains. I wish to enter closed-door seclusion for a period of time. I hope that Dean Zhang will allow it."

Long Tang’s current condition was clearly unsuitable for participating in the Endless Trials. Zhang Songtao naturally would not be so unreasonable. He nodded and said, "En. Enter closed-seclusion and comprehend your gains well. Forget about the Endless Trials. What’s the second matter?"

"The second matter is to express thanks to a person! Without him, I couldn’t have cleared the Nine Heavens Road!"

"Oh? There’s such a thing? Who has such capabilities to actually aid you in passing the Nine Heavens Road?" Zhang Songtao exclaimed in surprise.

Long Tang’s word aroused everybody’s curiosity. But nobody knew the answer except for Zuo Bugui!

Long Tang turned around and swept his gaze across the crowd beneath the stage.

Everyone looked in all directions trying to find the person which Long Tang spoke of.

"Just who is it? To actually be able to help Senior Apprentice Brother Long pass through the Nine Heavens Road! A Heavenly Dao Oath has to be sworn every time before entering the Nine Heavens Road. Who would divulge information on the Nine Heavens Road?"

"Who knows? I reckon that Senior Apprentice Brother Long hooked up with some senior apprentice sister? The power of love is the mightiest. It was this conviction supporting him as he charged through the Nine Heavens Road, right?"

"You don’t say. There might really be that possibility! It’s just who knows which family’s girl have that honor. In my view, only Senior Apprentice Sister Feng can match with Senior Apprentice Brother Long in the entire academy. It’s not her, right?"

"I won’t believe it even if you beat me to death! Teacher Feng has already been acquired by Ye Yuan. If Senior Apprentice Sister Feng and Senior Apprentice Brother Long become a pair, how will they let us live?!"

The students started whispering to each other with their rich imagination. Soon, the topic digressed to Feng Ruoqing and her niece.

Martial artists’ auditory abilities were excellent. Some words were inevitably transmitted into their ears, making Feng Ruoqing blush to the tips of her ears.

Who knew since when she was already ’acquired’ by Ye Yuan. Even she was unaware of it.

In front of the public, Feng Ruoqing forever had that ice-cold look.

Hearing the crowd’s discussion, an intangible killing qi spread out. Except that there were too many people talking. She could not possibly kill them all, right?

Long Tang swiftly found Ye Yuan in the crowd. He paid attention to Ye Yuan for a very long time already and was naturally familiar with his aura.

"Thank you, Ye Yuan! Without your guidance, I couldn’t possibly have passed the Nine Heavens Road!" Long Tang extended his heartfelt thanks.

Long Tang’s words instantly caused an uproar.

"What? It was actually Ye Yuan? How’s that possible? It seemed like they didn’t even know each other, right?"

"Yeah! Also, Ye Yuan is only at the Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm. What can he teach Senior Apprentice Brother Long? He couldn’t have divulged the secrets of the Nine Heavens Road, right? But Ye Yuan is still living well right now!"

"It couldn’t be that Senior Apprentice Brother Long cleared it himself like that after watching Ye Yuan challenge the Nine Heavens Road, right? That’s too sinister."

Everybody felt doubt and bafflement towards Long Tang’s words. Even if Long Tang’s talent was beneath Ye Yuan’s, Ye Yuan’s current strength was still weak. What could he help Long Tang with?

Furthermore, those familiar with Long Tang knew that he and Ye Yuan were not even acquainted. When did Ye Yuan even help him?

Su Yubai’s face promptly darkened after hearing Long Tang’s words.

This Long Tang simply did not know how to appreciate favors. To actually praise Ye Yuan in front of so many people!

Even if he did not accept the olive branch he cast, did he not know that Ye Yuan and the Su Family were mortal enemies?

Was each one of them rushing to oppose the Su Family?

If a tiger did not demonstrate its might, did they really treat me, Su Yubai, like a sick cat?

You all are geniuses, yes, but a genius who can’t mature will only be a speck of dust in history!

Who would remember you all?

Ye Yuan was also mischievously guessing who gave Long Tang pointers just now. Who would have expected Long Tang to actually name him, leaving him somewhat caught unaware.

"Hey, are you mistaken, Senior Apprentice Brother Long? When have I ever guided you? This is the first time we’ve met ok?" Ye Yuan was rather bewildered.

Long Tang suddenly beamed, smiling very happily.

Those familiar with Long Tang knew that he rarely smiled. Today was really without precedent.

"You’ve said wrongly, Ye Yuan. Today is indeed the first time you’ve met me. But I’ve already seen you many times before. Virtually every time you fought in the academy, I’ve been observing you. All the way until you charged bravely into the Nine Heavens Road. Finally, I was enlightened, and found the path which belongs to me! Hence, even though you don’t know that I’ve changed because of you, I still have to thank you!" Long Tang proclaimed loudly.

"Oh, so that’s the case. Haha, then congratulations to you. There isn’t a need to thank me. It would be great if you can help me finish off that old fellow behind you." Ye Yuan pointed to Su Yubai behind Long Tang and said with a smile.

Su Yubai’s face darkened even more severely with Ye Yuan’s words.

He did not think that Ye Yuan would actually dare to request Long Tang to kill him in front of so many people.

Utterly preposterous!

Just keep being smug, brat! I’ve already laid down an inescapable net for you in the Endless Forest. Just go without worry!

Long Tang did not turn back. He knew who Ye Yuan was pointing to.

"Hur hur . I’m still not Elder Su’s match right now. I’m afraid I won’t be able to help you fulfill this wish of yours. However, one year is probably a little tight for me. But it should be sufficient for you. It’s still more refreshing to personally do this sort of thing like revenge!"

The first half of Long Tang’s words sounded like complimenting, but the second half was simply looking down upon Su Yubai!

And the meaning of his words was actually acknowledging the truth that Ye Yuan was even more talented than him.

"Long Tang! Do you know the consequences of insulting the academy’s elder?!" Su Yubai was enraged.

Long Tang’s back faced Su Yubai. He did not plan on responding from the start. Towards Su Yubai’s conduct, Long Tang also despised him greatly, which was why he said those words.

"Tsk tsk tsk. Elder Su is getting on in years. You’re really quite forgetful. Senior Apprentice Brother Long cleared the Nine Heavens Road, so his status is already equivalent to the Tranquil Cloud Sect’s core disciple. His status in the Tranquil Cloud Sect is already higher than yours. So what if he insults you a little?" Ye Yuan derided him.

"Good! Good! You all want to rebel right? Just wait! Don’t think that you can be carefree after making it through the Nine Heavens Road by luck!" Su Yubai’s flames of wrath could already burn the skies.

"Better save it, Elder Su. We’re about to take part in the Endless Trials now. You’d better not delay everyone’s time." Ye Yuan completely ignored Su Yubai’s threat.

Zhang Songtao who was hosting the Endless Trials could no longer watch on. Speaking up, he said, "Alright, alright. Ye Yuan, Long Tang, don’t mess around anymore. Although you two already have the status of the high sect’s core disciple, you are still in the State of Qin’s Dan Wu Academy, yes? I know that both parties have some grudges, so temporarily put aside this matter. The matter at hand is still to undergo the Endless Trials. Both parties, give me face and stop arguing."

Zhang Songtao’s words were clearly partial towards Su Yubai. But Ye Yuan was indifferent.

Either way, Su Yubai’s face was already swept clean by him. He did not suffer a loss.

Rather, it was Long Tang who seemed like he had not finished talking. He asked Ye Yuan, "Ye Yuan, although this request is rather abrupt, I still wish to be able to fight with you before heading for the Tranquil Cloud Sect! I wonder what’s your opinion?"

Even though this was the first time Ye Yuan came into contact with Long Tang, he still had quite a good impression.

Long Tang was clearly someone who was forthright and determined. A pretty decent opponent!

Furthermore, Long Tang was rank one on the Martial Roll. Ye Yuan wanted to charge back to the Divine Realm, so Long Tang was in its true sense his first barrier!

He had to pass it!

This battle was perhaps destined a long time ago!

"Alright! Even if Senior Apprentice Brother Long doesn’t come and find me, I would also go and look for you! This battle, I will definitely go!" Ye Yuan said heroically."Team up with me, Senior Apprentice Sister Feng. My Seven Star Sword Art is already trained to the great success stage. I won’t drag you down!"

"Why not we go together, Senior Apprentice Sister Feng? If we encounter high tier demonic beasts, I will sacrifice my life to let you escape!"

"Together, Senior Apprentice Sister Feng? All the treasures our team gets will belong to you. I only want the items the mission requires."

After the rather unpleasant assembly ended, the majority of the teams left the Dan Wu Academy.

Along the way, many powerful and outstanding young men gathered in front of Feng Zhirou, hoping to team up with her.

Feng Zhirou’s charm was truly not fake. Just in this short while, there were already no less than ten male students who requested to team with her. And their strengths were all at the Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm and above.

One had to acknowledge that Feng Zhirou’s cold and icy appearance could greatly stimulate men’s desire to conquer.

The colder she was to these male students, the more stimulated these males rushed up to her.

Even when Feng Zhirou rejected those male students, they still circled around not far from her.

Ye Yuan kept following neither too far away nor too near. But now, he joined in, asking with a smile, "Why not take me, Senior Apprentice Sister Feng? You see, my strength is meager. The two of us teaming up can fully display your unparalleled majesty!"

Everyone shot a scornful look at Ye Yuan.

Your strength is meager? Your combat prowess can already rank in the top 50 of the Martial Roll!

Can bullshit even reach such a level?

Furthermore, don’t women all wish to be protected by men? Your kind of degrading request for protection will surely be despised by Senior Apprentice Sister Feng!

Speaking of which, this was already not the first time Ye Yuan hid behind a woman’s back. The previous time Su Yubai ambushed, didn’t Ye Yuan also hide behind Teacher Feng?

Could Ye Yuan be a typical case of bullying the weak but fearing the strong?

How could Senior Apprentice Sister Feng possibly like such a man?

Moreover, who in the academy currently was unaware that Ye Yuan already picked up Teacher Feng now? Now, he even came to tease Feng Zhirou. Could it be that he wanted to simultaneously collect aunt and niece?

Did he not want to retain his face?

Even if Senior Apprentice Sister could not find any man, it was also impossible to share a husband with her own aunt, right?

Right at this moment, Feng Zhirou suddenly stopped and turned around to stare icily at Ye Yuan.

A bone-chilling intent spread out.

Just when everyone thought that Feng Zhirou was about to explode, she spat out four words coldly, "Make way in front!"

Everybody fell to the ground.

Just what in the world happened? This world is too insane!

Senior Apprentice Sister Feng actually agreed!

Could it be that Senior Apprentice Sister Feng was a thorough cold elder sister who enjoyed this sort of play?

If they knew earlier, they would also have pretended to have a pitiful appearance to satisfy Senior Apprentice Sister Feng’s protective desires!

"Haha! Heard that? Senior Apprentice Sister Feng has already agreed to pair up with me. Everyone, stop circling around her already! You all are also aware that once Senior Apprentice Sister Feng flares up, ordinary people can’t take it. Better not find trouble for yourselves. If you are hurt because of this, don’t blame me for not warning you all!" Ye Yuan told everyone with a smile.

Finishing, Ye Yuan really led the way to open up the path.

There were naturally some who still refused to give up. In the end, after Feng Zhirou drew her sword and nearly sliced off an ear, did everyone leave unwillingly.

At this moment, Ye Yuan and Feng Zhirou already arrived at the borders of the Endless Forest.

The Endless Forest was filled with dangers. Hence, when students underwent the Endless Trials, they frequently entered in threes or in pairs.

The duration of the Endless Trials was half a month. The mission for Heaven rank students was to submit ten Tier 2 demonic beast’s inner cores and ten stalks of Tier 2 medicinal herbs.

This mission did not seem hard to complete. They just had to kill ten Tier 2 demonic beasts, harvest ten stalks of medicinal herbs, and that was it. But in fact, it was not so simple.

The strength of the demonic beasts tended to be immensely powerful, often a level greater than the strength of martial artists of the same level. Furthermore, many demonic beasts lived in groups. Once they get caught, it was virtually impossible to survive.

Also, some medicinal herbs often had its accompanying beast to guard it. One could suffer the attack of a demonic beast at any time while harvesting herbs.

Hence, forming teams to complete the mission was obviously the best option.

"Senior Apprentice Sister, aren’t you tired at all of showing that icy face all day?" Seeing nobody around, Ye Yuan turned towards Feng Zhirou.

"None of your business! I want to!" Feng Zhirou snapped.

Although she still maintained that frosty look, no matter how he looked at it, it seemed like throwing a tantrum. It was entirely different from that kind of distancing people a thousand miles away sort of iciness just now.

Ye Yuan sighed and said, "You got to marry eventually, gorgeous. How are you going to find your Mr. Right like this?"

Feng Zhirou said, "All of you stinky men, every one of you just thinks about dirty stuff. None of you are good. Why do I have to show a good attitude to you all?"

"You’re overturning an entire ship of people with one blow! Let’s not talk about whether men are good or not first. This Dao of Men and Woman is a natural Great Dao. A gentleman pursues a fair maiden. There’s nothing inappropriate about this, right?"

"I also didn’t say that I can’t find a Dao companion, what are you anxious about? Don’t tell me that you are so anxious because you fell for this young lady like those stinky men?"

Feng Zhirou’s words unconsciously detached Ye Yuan away from the rest. Most likely, even she did not realize it herself.

Ye Yuan chortled and said, "Senior Apprentice Sister might be beautiful, but I’d better keep a respectful distance away from that personality of drawing your sword at the slightest provocation! I don’t wish to find a Dao companion who might just stab me one day. That would be such an unjust death!"

Feng Zhirou gnashed her teeth and said, "You’re so vapid. Do you have to keep harping on that one thing forever?"

Just like Feng Ruoqing, Feng Zhirou had always been rather confident in her own charm. But in front of Ye Yuan, she had never found that sort of superiority.

Not only did Ye Yuan not humor her and indulge her like the other students, but he also avoided her like the plague.

Feng Zhirou had never experienced this sort of frustration before.

Moreover, she could sense that Ye Yuan’s words just now was not deliberately weighed out. But rather, he really did not want to have any association with herself.

In reality, Ye Yuan had never schemed after anything of hers. In fact, he helped her and her aunt a lot.

Feng Zhirou was prideful and haughty. All she thought about was pursuing the extremities of the Martial Dao. If she could no longer advance in this lifetime, it would be even worse than killing her.

Not only did Ye Yuan notice the problem with her body, he even gave her a cultivation law. This cultivation law named Water Defying Incantation was simply custom-made for her.

Feng Zhirou advanced at a tremendous pace when training this cultivation law.

Without any accidents, she only required three months to catch up to her former cultivation law’s progress.

Although Feng Zhirou never expressed anything towards this, she was actually still very grateful to Ye Yuan in her heart.

Ye Yuan involuntarily laughed when he saw her look. "Haha. Fine, fine. Actually, it’s not that I’m anxious about your affairs, but it’s Teacher Feng who is more concerned."

Feng Zhirou asked doubtfully, "My aunt? What’s the matter?"

Ye Yuan repeated what Feng Ruoqing said in the morning and said smilingly, "Your aunt is also really strange. She’s clearly still a young lass, yet she’s worried about your matters."

Hearing this incident, Feng Zhirou surprisingly did not express any opinion. Instead, she pulled a long face and said, "Quickly go. Continue to open up the path!"

Ye Yuan laughed and said, "Open what path? We can just openly walk in."

As he was talking, Ye Yuan fished out two medicinal pills and handed Feng Zhirou one.

Feng Zhirou looked at the medicinal pill in Ye Yuan’s hands. A stinky odor wafted over. She could not resist pinching her nose and pushing away Ye Yuan’s hand, asking with a frown, "What medicinal pill is this? So smelly!"

"Tier 2 Breath Concealing Pill! Tier 3 demonic beasts and below will be incapable of detecting our aura. This will save us a lot of trouble," Ye Yuan explained.

Feng Zhirou shook her head repeatedly and said, "I don’t want to, stinks to death! Eat it yourself if you want to!"

Ye Yuan smiled and did not insist on it. He swallowed one and kept the other one away.

Right now, the two had already entered the boundaries of the Endless Forest and did not stop for long. They headed straight into the deeper areas.

"Hey, what place are we going to?" Feng Zhirou asked from behind.

"Going to the Crimson Summit Ridge first," Ye Yuan answered without even turning back.

"Crimson Summit Ridge?! Are you mad? That’s the habitat of the Long-arm Stone Ape. There’s at least tens of thousands of Long-arm Stone Apes. There might even be a Tier 3 Ape King. Are you going to seek death?" Feng Zhirou exclaimed in shock.

Long-arm Stone Ape was a Tier 2 demonic beast. Once surrounded by a group of Long-arm Stone Apes, it would virtually be a certain death scenario.

"Go if you want to. I also didn’t make you come along! Earlier, it was just to help you out of your situation. Do you really think I’m counting on you to protect me?" Ye Yuan did not spare any face for Feng Zhirou.

Feng Zhirou flew into a rage when she heard this. "Ye Yuan! Who do you think you are? Just your puny bit of strength isn’t even fit to carry shoes for this young lady. Isn’t it just a one-way route to hell if you go to the Crimson Summit Ridge?"

"Gorgeous, don’t flatter yourself. I don’t want to carry shoes for you. Also, just because you’re strong, it doesn’t mean that you’ll definitely be fine. My strength is not as great as yours, but I also won’t do something just to die in vain. Understood?"

"You! I’m not going anymore! I want to see just how you’re going to come out from the Crimson Summit Ridge!" Feng Zhirou stomped her feet angrily and then stopped.

Ye Yuan still did not turn his head back. He kept moving forward with gusto without the slightest intention of stopping.

Feng Zhirou and Ye Yuan had mingled for some time already. They more or less understood a little of the other party’s temper and personality.

Regardless whether it was the great life and death battle with Lin Tiancheng or challenging the Nine Heavens Road later on, Ye Yuan never did anything he was not confident in.

And even though this Ye Yuan’s strength was not great, his various means were inexhaustible. She had never seen him suffer a loss.

Not that she had never seen Ye Yuan be at a disadvantage before. The only time she saw it seemed to be from her hands. That one sword nearly cost him his life.

Seeing Ye Yuan’s figure about to disappear from her line of sight, Feng Zhirou gritted her teeth, stomped her feet, and displayed her movement technique to catch up.

"This fellow completely doesn’t know to give in to girls a little. Such a blockhead! Maddening this princess to death!" Feng Zhirou said huffily.

Ye Yuan’s pace was not quick. In a blink of an eye, Feng Zhirou caught up.

Without waiting for Ye Yuan to speak, Feng Zhirou said irately, "Don’t think too much into it, Ye Yuan! I just don’t want to be scolded by Aunty when I get back, that’s why I’m continuing to protect you! If you die in the Endless Forest, she will definitely not spare me when I return."

Ye Yuan’s back faced Feng Zhirou as he simply smiled and kept mum.

If he could, Ye Yuan naturally did not wish to go to Crimson Summit Ridge either. But one of the core ingredients of the Essence Yang Pill, Crimson Soul Grass, just happened to be growing in the habitat of the Long-arm Stone Apes. He had no choice but to go!

The Long-arm Stone Ape was a demonic social beast. Furthermore, their strength was very great! Even Crystal Formation Realm martial artists did not dare to freely intrude. No wonder Feng Zhirou’s reaction was so big.

. . . . . .

After four hours, inside a dense forest, a faint blue pretty figure suddenly swung a sword and killed a demonic beast opposite her.

The pretty figure landed on the ground panting daintily and her fragrant sweat dripping.

This was already the third Tier 2 demonic beast that Feng Zhirou killed!

Apart from these Tier 2 beasts, she even killed no less than ten Tier 1 demonic beasts.

After killing so demonic beasts, Feng Zhirou’s essence energy consumption was naturally enormous.

While at the side, Ye Yuan remained composed as he looked at Feng Zhirou who was dripping fragrant sweat without the slightest intention to come over and help.

"Do you still have humanity, Ye Yuan? I came to help you, but you’ve been standing idly by all this while!" Feng Zhirou currently wished that she could split Ye Yuan with one sword.

As for Feng Zhirou’s sword, Ye Yuan was not too concerned.

Although he was not Feng Zhirou’s match at the moment, it was no longer possible for Feng Zhirou to try and kill him with a sword like last time.

"My great missus, it’s you who are noble and refused to eat the Breath Concealing Pill. Now, you are blaming me for attracting demonic beasts? I have a lot of places I want to go, how would I have the energy to keep wasting time along the way like this? Let’s not talk about whether you will encounter powerful demonic beasts if you slaughter your way over or not, just the exhaustion will wear you out dead tired." Ye Yuan said grumpily.

The Endless Forest was infinitely vast. The distance to the Crimson Summit Ridge from the borders was a thousand miles. To human martial artists, it was already a very deep place.

Even though Ye Yuan had a map of the outer regions of the Endless Forest and could do a detour to avoid some danger zones, it would take too much time.

He could afford to dawdle, but Lu-er could not!

So he could only walk in a straight line!

Consuming the Breath Concealing Pill could minimize trouble to the limits. Yet Feng Zhirou refused to eat it.

Ye Yuan also knew Feng Zhirou’s temper. Advising her was useless. Only by letting her suffer some hardship would she change her mind.

Indeed, now that Ye Yuan said that, Feng Zhirou suddenly had a revelation.

No wonder along the way, demonic beasts did not attack Ye Yuan and just pounced towards her vigorously as if they did not see Ye Yuan. So this was actually the reason!

Feng Zhirou knew Ye Yuan’s alchemy standards, so she naturally would not doubt his medicinal pills.

It was just whenever she thought of that unbearable stench, Feng Zhirou would just shrink back.

Seeing Feng Zhirou’s expression change several times, Ye Yuan fished out that medicinal pill again and said, "Senior Apprentice Sister, if you plan on following me forward, just swallow this medicinal pill in one breath. Otherwise, we can only part here. You’re also aware that I came to the Endless Forest this time because of important matters. Time is very precious. If we continue like this, you will only become my burden!"

Although she really did not want to admit it, it was just as Ye Yuan said. She would only become Ye Yuan’s burden if this continued.

Feng Zhirou was extremely competitive. She could not accept the fact of becoming a baggage that needed to be carried around.

Thinking up to here, Feng Zhirou reached out to snatch the medicinal pill in Ye Yuan’s hand, and swallowed it with her eyes shut,

The pill entered her mouth, and Feng Zhirou realized that it was not as nasty as she imagined it to be. In fact, it carried a faint trace of fragrance in the mouth which overflowed her entire body!

Looking at that smile of Ye Yuan’s like his scheme had succeeded, Feng Zhirou temper flared up out of nowhere.

She pointed her sword at Ye Yuan and said furiously, "Did you make fun of me on purpose? I’ll kill you!"

Ye Yuan hurried dodged and laughed out loud. "My great missus, can you be reasonable? Do you think that if I tell you right from the start, you would believe it?"

Hearing that, Feng Zhirou was stunned. What Ye Yuan said was really true.

Each person knew their temper the best. Even if Ye Yuan explained just how delicious that medicinal pill was from the beginning, there was no way she would have consumed it!

Feng Zhirou consumed the Breath Concealing Pill. There was no harassment from demonic beasts along the way, so the pair’s advancement speed increased significantly.

After half a day, the two people walked almost half of the journey. But Ye Yuan suddenly stopped.

"Why aren’t you walking?" Feng Zhirou asked.

"There’s good stuff!"

Finishing, Ye Yuan pranced forth and arrived in front of a cave. Feng Zhirou was also very curious as she tagged along.

Feng Zhirou was about to ask again when Ye Yuan gestured with his hand to keep silent. He transmitted his voice, "There should be a type of herb in this cave called the Goodwall Flower. However, this flower tends to have Iron-Paw Flying Bears guarding it."

Feng Zhirou asked puzzledly, "Why do you know again?" 1

"Some precious herbs not only have associated beasts but also have associated plants. This stretch of blue sandalwood forest is the Goodwall Flower’s accompanying plant. The blue sandalwood can secrete a type of liquid into the soil, and this liquid is precisely the Goodwall Flower’s nourishment!" Ye Yuan explained.

Hearing Ye Yuan’s explanation, Feng Zhirou was dumbstruck.

She felt that Ye Yuan was simply omniscient and omnipotent. Just merely passing by a stretch of blue sandalwood forest and he actually discovered the highly rare Goodwall Flower.

As an alchemist, Feng Zhirou naturally heard of the Goodwall Flower. It was a very rare Tier 2 medicinal herb.

Except that the Herbal Essentials did not describe the Goodwall Flower in detail. Clearly, the author Li Shizhen himself was unclear of the source and use of this flower. 2

Something which an Alchemy Sovereign did not even understand, yet Ye Yuan could enumerate it like his family’s treasures. Just what kind of heaven-defying existence was that teacher behind him?!

Ignoring that teacher, Ye Yuan himself was only 15 years old. What kind of genius could learn so many things when they were 15?

However, Feng Zhirou would only keep her astonishment a secret. Her mouth was condescending, and she said, "You know a lot huh?! In a while, if we can’t find these Goodwall Flowers, let’s see what you have to say."

Ye Yuan smiled and did not clarify. He transmitted his voice to her, "Later, you lure the Iron-Paw Flying Bear away. I’ll go and retrieve the herb."

Feng Zhirou immediately frowned heavily when she heard that and even forget to transmit her voice as she responded indignantly, "Are you mistaken, Ye Yuan? You are a grown man yet you keep making women do dangerous things! Go if you want, I’m not going!"

Ye Yuan gave an innocent look and said, "You came to protect me, Senior Apprentice Sister. Can you bear to watch me go and die? An Iron Paw Flying Bear is a Tier 2 demonic beasts with high speed and great strength. If I go, it’s equal to casting away my life!"

"I don’t care. Either way, I’m not going!" Feng Zhirou’s willfulness acted up.

"Roar!"

Right then, a huge roar sounded out. The pair’s arguing sounds startled the Iron Paw Flying bear inside the cave!

A colossal figure gradually appeared from the pitch black cave with a body full of fur. It was precisely an adult Iron Paw Flying Bear.

"Damn, we alerted the Iron Paw Flying Bear. Quickly run!" Feng Zhirou shrieked and turned around to run away.

After running a few steps, Feng Zhirou suddenly realized that something was wrong. Turning back, she found out that Ye Yuan did not even move!

"What are you standing stupidly there for, Ye Yuan? Quickly run! We aren’t a match for the Iron Paw Flying Bear!" Feng Zhirou yelled.

Iron Paw Flying Bears had very explosive tempers. Seeing Ye Yuan stand there without moving at all, it swiftly locked onto him.

Whoosh!

The Iron Paw Flying Bear roared again and pounced at Ye Yuan with lightning speed.

But Ye Yuan remained motionless right there like he was scared silly.

Feng Zhirou did not expect that this sort of situation would occur. The Iron Paw Flying Bear’s attack power was very strong. If its palm landed fully, how could Ye Yuan survive?

Although Feng Zhirou liked to bicker with Ye Yuan, it did not mean that she could really watch Ye Yuan die like that.

In a blink of an eye, the Iron Paw Flying Bear already crossed several dozen meters. That titanic bear paw already smacked down towards Ye Yuan.

Feng Zhirou gritted her teeth and shot towards Ye Yuan with her movement technique at full blast.

Ding!

The Iron Paw Flying Bear and Feng Zhirou’s sword had intimate contact and actually released intense metal scratching sounds with sparks!

The Iron Paw Flying Bear’s bear paw was brushed away, but Feng Zhirou retreated several steps in succession. A surge of blood swelled in her chest.

The name of Iron Paw of the Iron Paw Flying Bear was well-deserved. The strength of a pair of bear paws was actually comparable to magic artifacts!

Feng Zhirou’s sword was naturally a rare high-rank magic artifact. But it was actually unable to leave any injury on the bear paw!

Right then, Ye Yuan turned around to look at Feng Zhirou. He smiled and said, "Many thanks to Senior Apprentice Sister Feng for saving me. Since you’re already matched up, then I’ll have to trouble you to lure it away."

"You! You actually made use of me!" Feng Zhirou was exasperated. Only now did she react to being tricked by Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan was not unable to evade, but he deliberately did not dodge just to wait for her to come back and save him.

Now was clearly not the time to chat. The Iron Paw Flying Bear already arrived in front of their eyes. Wanting to run away now was useless.

Since it was named Iron Paw Flying Bear, it could be seen that it was big but not clumsy. It had extremely swift movements.

The Iron Paw Flying Bear seemed to be enraged. It howled again but disregarded Ye Yuan and pounced towards Feng Zhirou.

Feng Zhirou swept a cold glance at Ye Yuan and said, "I’ll settle the score with you later! Humph!"

Finishing, Feng Zhirou carried her sword and turned around, speeding out far away.

Ye Yuan chuckled and yelled at Feng Zhirou’s back, "Be careful, Senior Apprentice Sister Feng!"

After that, Ye Yuan walked over to the cave without hurrying at all.

The Iron Paw Flying Bear had an enormous build. The cave it chose was naturally very spacious.

The cave was not deep. Ye Yuan entered the cave and quickly found the Goodwall Flower. In fact, there were a total of several hundred stalks!

"Haha! With these Goodwall Flowers, I can nurture at least several hundred Crystal Formation Realm powerhouses! Such luxury!" Ye Yuan also did not expect that this cave had so many Goodwall Flowers inside.

The reason why Ye Yuan was unwilling to give up on these Goodwall Flowers was primarily because of the promise he made to Huyan Yong previously.

Back then, Feng Ruoqing guessed some parts. But she did not think that Ye Yuan could honor that promise so quickly.

The big gift Ye Yuan wanted to give Huyan Yong back then was to help him enter the Crystal Formation Realm!

Do not look at how Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm was just that teeny bit away from Crystal Formation Realm. That little bit was so near, yet poles apart!

To the vast majority of Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists, the end point of their martial path was the peak Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm.

Breaking through to the Crystal Formation Realm was absolutely like a thousand man army and ten thousand horses crossing a single log bridge. It was extremely difficult!

One had to know that it had already been over a dozen years since Su Yubai was stuck at half-step Crystal Formation Realm. Yet, he was unable to take that step. The difficulty of breaking through to the Crystal Formation Realm could be imagined.

According to Ye Yuan’s observations, Huyan Yong had the hope of breaking through to the Crystal Formation Realm. It was just hard to determine the time.

With his help, Huyan Yong could shorten this step by at least 30 years!

Ye Yuan would naturally be using medicinal pills to aid Huyan Yong. The medicinal pill to help martial artists breakthrough into the Crystal Formation Realm was called the Crystal Formation Pill. An ordinary high-grade Crystal Formation Pill could increase the success rate of condensing crystal by 30%!

With Ye Yuan’s standards, as long as he broke through to the Crystal Formation Realm, it would naturally be not just that!

And a Goodwall Flower was one of the core ingredients for the Crystal Formation Pill! With these Crystal Formation Pills, Ye Yuan could even create an army of Crystal Formation Realm martial artists!

Such a force could virtually sweep across the Tranquil Cloud Ten Nations!

Placing these Goodwall Flowers inside his storage ring, Ye Yuan continued to search the deeper parts of the cave.

As an alchemist, Ye Yuan was very familiar with the living habits of all sorts of demonic beasts.

The Iron Paw Flying Bear was not just the accompanying beast for the Goodwall Flower. It also retained some habits of bears, for example, their love for eating honey!

Some honey was extremely precious. Ye Yuan just wanted to try his luck by going in.

This cave was very tidy. Clearly, that Iron Paw Flying Bear cherished this place greatly.

Before long, Ye Yuan saw a stone mound. The stone mound was slightly larger than that Iron Paw Flying Bear. It was clear that this was where it rested.

Ye Yuan surveyed the surroundings and went over to examine a lump of honey and could not help being thrilled.

"It’s actually Silver Sword Bee honey, and there’s so much! I really struck gold! Looks like that big stupid bear couldn’t bear to eat it and hoarded it here. Didn’t think that I would profit from this. Heh heh, with this thing, I can also justify to Feng Zhirou that lass later. Otherwise, she would definitely split me in half."

Silver Sword Bee was similarly a Tier 2 demonic beasts. Furthermore, its attack power was very strong, and its sting was highly toxic. The average person dared not approach it.

Looks like that stupid great bear’s skin is really thick. To actually finish off a Silver Sword Bee’s beehive. Truly impressive!

Silver Sword Bee’s honey was extremely hard to come by. The effects of just directly consuming it was not inferior to a transcendent-grade Essence Qi Pill!

After Ye Yuan broke through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, his cultivation would similarly require large quantities of medicinal pills.

The medicinal pill commonly used in the Endless World when cultivating at the Spirit Condensation Realm was called Essence Drop Pill. Ye Yuan obviously would not use such a low-level medicinal pill. He was prepared to refine a medicinal pill called Jade Water Pill. Its effect was more than a level stronger than the Essence Drop Pill.

And the Silver Sword Bee’s honey was precisely one of the core ingredients to refine the Jade Water Pill!

The medicinal pill that could be refined from so much Silver Sword Bee honey was roughly enough to let Ye Yuan breakthrough to the Fourth or Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm.

And the Silver Sword Bee honey had another use, which was whitening and beautifying!

With Ye Yuan’s methods, after refining several Beauty Retaining Pills to bribe Feng Zhirou, that lass most likely would not find trouble with him anymore.

Which woman did not wish to be forever young?

After collecting finish these Silver Sword Bee honey, Ye Yuan did not stay on and prepared to leave the cave straight away.

If Feng Zhirou could not hold on and that great stupid bear came back early trapping him inside, that would not be good.

Ye Yuan swiftly went to the cave entrance and was just about to exit the cave when a premonition suddenly struck!

Four streaks of cold light came from four different directions, sneak attacking Ye Yuan directly!

The strength of these four people were all at the Spirit Condensation Realm!

The four light beams virtually locked down Ye Yuan from all angles for the purpose of taking his life!

In the time it took for sparks to fly off a flint, Ye Yuan had no time to think too much, and could not be bothered with his image. He directly dropped and rolled inside the cave, barely evading these four attacks!

Even so, a blade still struck Ye Yuan’s calf.

"Big Brother, turns out it’s just a Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm brat. Made us wait so seriously."

"Don’t underestimate this brat. A Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm could actually dodge our ambush. His strength can’t be downplay."

"What are you scared of him for? We, the Southern Ridge Four Heroes, are Spirit Condensation Realm experts. You’re even at the Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm, Big Brother. This brat also has the exit blocked by us. Don’t tell me he can fly away?"

The ambushers did not continue the pursuit but blocked the exit, sealing off the only way out.

Ye Yuan crawled up from the ground and felt a burning pain in his calf.

Ye Yuan was familiar with poison and knew that the blade was coated with poison. He involuntarily frowned and fished out a Detoxification Pill he refined from his storage ring and ate it. Only then did it suppress the toxin.

The Southern Ridge Four Heroes saw Ye Yuan’s actions but did not stop him. They just looked at him with a smile that was not a smile.

One of them said, "It’s useless, brat. This toxin was something we, Southern Ridge Four Heroes, begged from the Five Poison Immortal. Even if Tier 2 demonic beasts were struck by it, it would die from the poison half a day later, let alone a puny Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm like you. Ordinary detoxification pills completely can’t resolve this poison."

Ye Yuan ignored him, faced the boss-like martial artist, and answered with a question, "You guys are demonic beast hunters?"

Seeing how these few people’s equipments were shabby and their age was rather old, they were clearly not the Dan Wu Academy’s students. So that just left demonic beast hunters.

This place was roughly five hundred miles away from the boundaries, precisely the place where Spirit Condensation Realm demonic beast hunters frequent.

In the Endless trials, not only would one suffer attacks from students and demonic beasts, demonic beast hunters were likewise a source of danger!

They originally worked with their lives on the edge of a blade while the students in the Dan Wu Academy were all proud children of heaven who enjoy countless cultivation resources.

Under this comparison, there were naturally many demonic beast hunters who felt unfair. And among them, a percentage of them would choose to lay hands on students!

In past Endless Trials, the number of students who died at the hands of demonic beast hunters was not small.

"That’s right! If I guessed correctly, you should be a student from the Dan Wu Academy, right? Looks like it’s the time for the Dan Wu Academy’s Endless Trials once again," the boss said.

"Why did you guys ambush me?" Ye Yuan asked again.

The boss sniggered and pointed to where the Goodwall Flowers originally were and said, "Naturally for the precious herbs on you! This place should have many medicinal herbs, right? Looks like it was taken by you. Hand it over, and we will give you a painless end."

Hearing the boss’s words, Ye Yuan could not resist laughing. "You guys won’t even let me off if I hand over the herbs?"

"Heh, sorry! Who asked you to be from the Dan Wu Academy? If I let you off after you exit the Endless Forest, how will we, the Southern Ridge Four Heroes, survive?"

"Then what are you bullshitting for? Just directly make a move to snatch it and be done with it," Ye Yuan said sullenly.

That boss chortled. He continued talking with an attitude like everything was within his grasp. "Talking naturally has its purpose. Do you know what poison we smeared on the blade? This poison is called Hundred Breath Collapse. That’s to say that within a hundred breaths, the poison will flare up and you’ll have no way of resisting, and definitely die within half a day! From when you were poisoned till now, it’s been almost 90 breaths. Ten, nine, eight . . . one, down!"

This Hundred Breath Collapse proved effective every time the Southern Ridge Four Heroes used it. Even if a gargantuan build demonic beast were inflicted by this toxin, it would also collapse onto the ground within a hundred breaths.

Ye Yuan was only a Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm. He naturally could not escape this end.

But when he counted finish the ten breaths and said the word ’down,’ Ye Yuan remained standing there without any intention of collapsing.

"Eh? Did I count wrong? There’s still several breaths of time?" Boss said in bewilderment when he saw the situation.

Ye Yuan looked at this Southern Ridge Four Heroes’ boss and could not resist sighing. "Are you for real? Playing poison with this Little Lord, you are still a little too unskilled! When this Little Lord was playing with poison, I’m afraid your grandfather wasn’t even born yet!"

Chapter 127: Sowing Discord

Translator: celefoata_ Editor: RegiusProfessor

Although the Detoxification Pill Ye Yuan refined was only Tier 2, the composition of the medicinal pill was completely different from what Ye Hang refined.

Consuming the Detoxification pill and facing these Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists from the State of Qin, Ye Yuan could be said to be invulnerable to all poison!

If several Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists could inflict poison with a Detoxification Pill refined by an exalted Alchemy Emperor, then it would truly be a joke.

When Ye Yuan finished talking, the face of the boss of the Southern Ridge Four Heroes swiftly fell.

A teenage youth talking about his grandfather not being born yet to his face, these words had indescribable oddness.

Could it be that this brat was an old monster who just maintained this face using youth retaining techniques?

The boss quickly denied this thought. Being admitted into the Dan Wu Academy, one had to undergo a bone age test. If this brat was really an old monster, there was no way he could have entered the Dan Wu Academy.

And Ye Yuan was clearly just Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm. Which old monster’s strength was this lousy?

Hence, the boss’s final conclusion was that Ye Yuan was purely diverting him!

"Heh heh, your Detoxification Pill is a treasure. Even Hundred Breaths Collapse was useless to you. But do you think that with your power alone, you can escape from the four of us?" The boss sneered coldly.

Ye Yuan did not panic the slightest bit. Instead, he smiled lightly and said, "Southern Ridge Dead Dogs, right? You all can come and try."

Finishing, an azure tasseled sword suddenly appeared in Ye Yuan’s hand with an intimidating chilling qi.

It was precisely the Canghua Sword!

The instant the Canghua Sword appeared, the powerful aura unique to spirit artifacts swiftly enveloped the Southern Ridge Four Heroes.

Demonic beast hunters were people with vast experiences and knowledge. Once the Canghua sword showed itself, they felt its distinctiveness.

"Spirit artifact! It must be a spirit artifact! Precious artifacts and magic artifacts definitely don’t have this sort of undulations!" the Southern Ridge Boss exclaimed in shock, and his eyes instantly showed incomparable greed.

Being reminded by the Southern Ridge Boss, the other three people immediately also reacted. Their gaze similarly revealed that extremely greedy look.

"Hahahaha . . . To think that I, Chen Jieqiu, can actually own a spirit artifact. It’s truly heaven’s blessings! Brat, didn’t your family’s elders teach you the principle of not revealing valuables? Since you flashed out a spirit artifact, then I won’t stand on ceremony and just accept it!"

The Southern Ridge Boss laughed maniacally.

Right now, Chen Jieqiu was so agitated that he was shaking a little. This was a spirit artifact!

Even in his dreams, he did not think that he could actually possess a spirit artifact in this lifetime!

Chen Jieqiu already started to picture the scene of wielding the Canghua Sword and slaughtering in four directions. Just imagining it made one excited.

Ye Yuan looked at Chen Jieqiu, and with a smile that was obviously not sincere he said, "Is that so? But there’s only one spirit artifact, yet there are four of you. How do you plan on distributing it?"

Once Ye Yuan’s words came out, the Southern Ridge Four Heroes’ face changed.

"Humph! Trying to sow discord between us four brothers, you’re still too inexperienced, brat! Regarding the allocation, us brothers will naturally take our time to discuss it after killing you. No need for you to worry."

Chen Jieqiu had toughened himself after so many years in the pugilist world and quickly reacted to Ye Yuan’s intentions, and he tried to use words to calm his own brothers.

But now that Ye Yuan said that, Chen Jieqiu also quietly planned out how to settle the ownership of this spirit artifact.

After snatching over the spirit artifact, he would find a chance to finish off the other three people. This sword would belong to him alone!

Whatever Southern Ridge Four Heroes, whatever brotherhood runs deep, they were all nothing in front of a spirit artifact!

The martial arts world was where the strong prey on the weak. Only making one stronger was the absolute truth. Chen Jieqiu braved all kinds of dangers for so many years. How could he be unaware of this principle?

"Really? But I saw your look when you were talking just now, and it doesn’t seem like you want to share with your brothers. You aren’t thinking about pacifying your brothers first, and then killing them after snatching the spirit artifact to keep it all to yourself, right? Don’t get agitated. I was just guessing. Hur hur." Ye Yuan beamed widely with squinted eyes.

Having his inner thoughts seen through, Chen Jieqiu could not help becoming furious. "You are seeking death, brat! Us brothers have braved through fire and water for so many years. Our feelings are as solid as metal. Do you think that just by sowing a bit of dissent, we’ll fall for it? Brothers, kill this brat first!"

"Ai-ya-ya, becoming angry from shame? You say that your feelings are as tough as metal. Do you dare to swear a Heavenly Dao Oath?"

"What’s there to be afraid of? However, kill you first before talking! Old Second, Old Third, Old Fourth, what are you standing there stupidly for? Don’t tell me our relationship can’t even stand up to a few sentences from this punk?" Chen Jieqiu gave a pained expression.

The other three people exchanged glances but did not make a move for a long time. Clearly, Ye Yuan’s words took effect.

"Heh heh, it’s not that your feelings aren’t deep, it’s the benefits which are too substantial! The allure of spirit artifacts is too great. Who can resist it? The way I see it, the few of you are vicious and ruthless people. Your relationship was good last time because there wasn’t the temptation of enormous benefits. But now, there’s a spirit artifact that appeared in front of you all. None of you can remain calm, right? The few of you aren’t his match in the first place. Once he gets the spirit artifact, can you all still survive?" Ye Yuan said it calmly.

Ye Yuan’s words made the other three people’s expression change once more. No matter how good a spirit artifact was, it was not as good as one’s life.

These Southern Ridge Four Heroes were originally infamous among demonic beast hunters. Each of them was ruthlessly cruel and cunning like foxes.

To say that the four of them were demonic beast hunters, one might as well say that they were hunters of hunters. They frequently moved against other demonic beast hunters, incurring the wrath of both heaven and men.

But these four people’s strength was also very great, resulting in nobody dared to provoke them, and could only do their best to hide from them.

These four people looked as if they were a monolithic block, but in reality, each had their own abominable quality.

In front of profits, how could they advance and retreat together as they used to before?

At this time, Old Second finally said, "Big Brother, not that we don’t believe you, but this spirit artifact is overly important. It is better if we discuss what to do with it first, then each swears a Heavenly Dao Oath."

When Old Second said that, Chen Jieqiu’s heart immediately sunk. Clearly, his killing intent was roused.

However, Chen Jieqiu was the most cunning out of the four, so he naturally would not show it on his face.

Chen Jieqiu laughed and said, "Since that’s the case, then us brothers discuss it first. Anyway, this brat can’t escape, so there’s no rush."

Seeing this scene, a trace of a sneer flashed across the corner of Ye Yuan’s mouth.

Bystanders see things clearly. He knew that this Chen Jieqiu already had the intent to kill.

Currently, those three people still wanted to get a share, so they obviously could not detect Chen Jieqiu’s thoughts.

Seeing the boss being so amiable, the three people also felt relieved.

"Old Second, I’m afraid you already have some idea, right? Why not say it out and let us brothers hear it." Not the slightest bit of worry could be seen on Chen Jieqiu face.

Old Second nodded and said, "The spirit artifact is an important artifact. It can’t be easily revealed to people. Otherwise, the four of us will definitely be chased to the ends of the world, and finally, whether we can keep it or not is still a question mark. Hence, those who have seen that us brothers have a spirit artifact must die!"

When that was said, the other three also strongly felt the same and nodded to express their agreement.

But right then, the essence energy in Chen Jieqiu’s body was already quietly revolving. The danger slowly approached . . .
