UMG 461 to 470
Unrivaled Medicine God
The group of upper echelons was exchanging glances. Clearly, this was their first time receiving information like this.
And the shock that this news gave everyone was too overwhelming.
According to what Lin Chao said, Ye Yuan only had a Seventh Level Spirit Condensation Realm cultivation when he entered the mystic realm.
He could actually traverse as easily as flat ground within Tier 4 and Tier 5 grand arrays at such a realm. Was this a joke?
Yet, when placing this kind of unimaginable things on the present Tranquil Cloud Sect, it was also the most logical explanation!
From Ye Yuan's performance at that time, one could tell that his attainments in the formations path most likely surpassed the level of Tier 4 long ago.
Without such strength, how could he control the sect protecting grand array and cut down three Soul Sea Realm powerhouses too?
But, from then until now, merely a few short months had passed. This Ye Yuan could not go so far as to reach the level of Soul Sea Realm, right?
This news was layered with contradictions within. There were many unexplainable issues. But looking at the outcome, it was also the most reasonable explanation.
"The Tranquil Cloud Sect actually took in such a monstrous disciple? This is quite troublesome!" He Mingde said with a frown.
He Mingde believed that Lin Chao would not joke around with this matter.
Now, the Tranquil Cloud Sect was defending this grand array to the bitter end. I there were no Divine Traversing Realm powerhouse who came forth, the sect would be like a porcupine being covered in spikes everywhere. They would be completely helpless against the sect.
This war really struck He Mingde until his flesh hurt. With the lesson this time, he no longer dared to storm the Tranquil Cloud Sect.
Moreover, what kind of visual prowess did He Mingde had? He had long seen through that Zhu Mingyu who was already started dreading from the bottom of his heart.
Even a peak Ninth Level Sea Transformation Realm expert was frightened until like this, let alone ordinary disciples.
Two middle-stage Soul Sea Realm grand elders perished under the grand array just like that. Most likely, there was nobody who dared to deliver themselves to death anymore either.
Lin Chao's eyes glimmered and said, "This boy's talent can no longer be described using monstrous. But he has a huge Achilles heel. Maybe we can move in from this point!"
He Mingde's eyes narrowed and seemed to already know what Lin Chao was talking about. "You're saying . . . Those prisoners on the Towering Peak?"
Lin Chao nodded and said, "That's right! This boy is somebody who values ties enormously! He originally had the chance to leave the mystic realm individually but infiltrated the Fierce Gale World without any hesitation. I'm thinking that since he has this weakness, why don't we make use of it? As long as we force him out of the grand array, why would we need to worry about being unable to deal with him?"
"What if he doesn't come out?" asked a Soul Sea Realm elder.
"Then we'll kill one by one. Kill all the way until he comes out!"
These words were said by Lin Chao with a smile. Except, his smile looked so cruel.
. . . . . .
These few days, the entire Tranquil Cloud Sect was in jubilation.
This was a merry and hearty huge victory. The Tranquil Cloud Sect relied on the sect protecting grand array to cut down two middle-stage Soul Sea Realm powerhouses!
This was absolutely a one of a kind victory in the history of the Southern Domain!
In the hearts of the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples, Ye Yuan was already an existence that approached godlike.
They knew fully well that even if Grand Elder Skymaple and Sect Master Luo were here, they completely could not do it to Ye Yuan's extent either.
Ye Yuan was simply sent by the heaven to save the Tranquil Cloud Sect!
With these two huge victories, the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples' fear towards the Purple Mansion Sect were long tossed to the back of their minds.
Now, even if He Mingde came forth personally, they would also stand behind Ye Yuan without any signs of fear to transfer essence energy to him unceasingly.
But Ye Yuan suddenly announced closed-seclusion ever since the great battle previously, leaving all of the sect's matters to Mo Yuntian to manage.
Everyone's enthusiasm had nowhere to release, so they might as well busy with their own matters.
Of course, even more disciples continued comprehending the inscribed characters that Ye Yuan left on Victory Peak, hoping to raise their mastery of concepts as soon as possible.
The greatest improvement was naturally still Tian Yu. Now, there was already nobody who could approach the area of 200 feet around him!
Apart from Tian Yu, Mo Yuntian's improvement was also rather swift.
Through a period of contemplating, Mo Yuntian already understood the profundities of the 30th sword character and was currently comprehending the 31st character.
This period of time, Ye Yuan made use of the Square Cauldron to refine a large batch of Jade Spirit Pills too.
Since returning from the Fierce Gale World, Ye Yuan had basically ceased comprehending concepts. As long as he had spare time, Ye Yuan would basically be cultivating essence energy.
Before the great battle, Ye Yuan was only a step away from the Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realm.
After that fight, Ye Yuan reckoned that the Purple Mansion Sect would most likely have to properly plan for a period of time. Hence, he announced closed-seclusion at the first instance he had.
After three days, Ye Yuan directly burst past the Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realm barrier!
"Tsk tsk. Big Brother can indeed fight it out with me. His cultivation completely has no bottlenecks at all!" White Light was clicking his tongue as he said with a sigh.
"Young Master's concepts are much higher than his realm. Give him another one or two years, him breaking through to the Divine Traversing Realm directly isn't anything much either," Yuan Fei said with a nod.
"I really don't know how he cultivates. He isn't much older than me either. His comprehension of concepts is actually so high! Big Brother said that he was going to directly break through to the Sea Transformation Realm this closed-seclusion. When he exits, the expressions on those Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples' faces must be very fascinating."
White Light was very excited, in a manner like desiring for the world to plunge into chaos.
But Yuan Fei did not refute it. He also knew that what White Light said was correct.
The medicinal pills that Ye Yuan refined, the medicinal efficacy was multiple, even over ten times of others. Plus his extremely heaven-defying cultivation method, he was totally unafraid of absorbing too much medicinal strength and could not withstand it. His cultivation speed was practically dozens of times of other ordinary people!
Such a cultivation speed, these Lower-Realm martial artists could not be not astonished even if they wanted to.
After entering seclusion, Ye Yuan was basically refining essence energy all the time. His realm was also rising extremely rapidly.
Another eight days passed. Ye Yuan finally reached Peak Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realm in one stroke!
At this time, the insides of Ye Yuan's dantian already swelled up. The fist-sized essence energy crystalline body practically filled up his dantian.
Afterward, Ye Yuan spent another two days to consolidate his realm and started to break through to the Sea Transformation Realm directly!
Sea Transformation Realm was just a transitionary realm but was an undeniably important realm.
Shattering core, transforming sea. The size of the essence energy sea formed as well as the quality determined the heights that one would attain in the future to a very large degree.
After shattering the core, the entire dantian would crumble. The original dantian would vanish. Within the martial artist's body, a space will naturally form which was used to accommodate the essence energy sea.
When ordinary four or five spirit liquid drops martial artists cultivated to the Sea Transformation Realm, they could basically only condense a fist-sized essence energy sea.
In theory, the more spirit liquid the martial artist had, the larger the essence energy sea condensed.
Furthermore, the size of the essence energy sea condensed for the first time also determined the limits of the martial artist in the future.
That was why it was said that this realm that was not a major realm was of utmost importance!
Ye Yuan condensed the perfect nine spirit liquid drops at that time. The essence energy crystalline body within his body at this time was much stronger compared to normal martial artists.
Regarding how large an essence energy sea he could condense, Ye Yuan was very curious too.
"Heh heh, I wonder how large an essence energy sea I can condense with my present state coupled with the Sea Expanding Pill. I'm really quite looking forward to this!" Ye Yuan said with a chuckle.
As he said those words, Ye Yuan swallowed a dark medicinal pill. The essence energy within his body begun to seethe. His dantian area started collapsing!
Unrivaled Medicine God
"Hiss . . ."
Ye Yuan took a deep, cold breath. The feeling of his dantian collapsing was not so easy to withstand.
He felt like there was somebody using a 300 thousand catty hammer to pound his abdomen right now. That sort of agony practically made him unable to catch his breath.
Shattering core, transforming sea; it was not something fun. There was no small number of martial artists who dared not take this step in their entire lives.
A moment of carelessness and it was the outcome of the Dao dissipating and perishing!
In truth, among myriad worlds, there were martial artists who died at this step every second!
In his previous life, Ye Yuan likewise went through this process. That sort of hovering the line of life and death agony was still fresh in his memories up until now.
But this lifetime's shattering core seemed to be even more excruciating than the previous one!
This time, Ye Yuan shattered the core under a virtually perfect condition. The essence energy in his body had already reached a saturated degree.
The collapse of such thick essence energy was not something fun either for Ye Yuan.
RUMBLE!
Ye Yuan's dantian cracked open inch by inch, seemingly like dried up earth, becoming full of fissures.
What had fissured was not just the dantian. It also included the essence energy crystalline body within the dantian.
The cracks became increasingly larger, bigger and bigger. Finally, it broke into pieces with a loud bang!
"Argh!"
Ye Yuan gave a long howl, venting out all of the anguish.
At this moment, the torment reached its peak too!
But this was only the beginning. The fragmented essence energy crystalline body still continued to splinter, and it was crumbling!
Once this process of shattering the core started, it was akin to a world collapsing, all the way until everything turned into nothingness!
Right then, a streak of gentle medicinal strength merged into Ye Yuan's dantian area, splashing on those essence energy crystal bodies and the fragmented dantian.
In an instant, Ye Yuan's pain faded away considerably.
This Sea Expanding Pill was a Divine Realm's top-grade Tier 3 medicinal pill. It was used specifically to impact the Sea Transformation Realm. The Lower Realms did not have it at all.
This period of time, Ye Yuan roamed many places and also had been collecting the various medicinal herbs that this Sea Expanding Pill required.
Ye Yuan found several in the mystic realm. The remaining few medicinal herbs that were harder to find, Ye Yuan found them all at Star Abyss's place.
Although the Fierce Gale World was sparse in resources, the Alchemist Association was the pinnacle existence of the world after all. Finding several types of medicinal herbs still did not pose an issue.
This Sea Expanding Pill was not an ordinary medicinal pill. Even in the Divine Realm, there were scanty few who knew it well enough.
This kind of medicinal pill was what the various top factions in the Divine Realm used to groom junior disciples. Furthermore, only those true geniuses could obtain this medicinal pill.
The reason was none other than because only the Medicine King Hall and the Alchemist Association, the two great powers, had this pill formula!
The Sea Expanding Pill could not only reduce the pain when the martial artist was breaking through to the Sea Transformation Realm, but it would also even help the martial artist expand their essence energy sea to the maximum limit!
Such an effect would make any Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realm martial artist go nuts!
This was a medicinal pill that could raise a martial artist's potential!
Even if the martial artist's essence energy sea only expanded a little bit, the martial artist would benefit for life too.
Moreover, to apex geniuses, this tiny bit of difference might determine whose accomplishments would be higher!
Very soon, those essence energy crystals crumbled into a powder-like state. But it was not over yet!
Those powder-like crystal bodies finally turned into nothing.
Ye Yuan's dantian area was now stark empty; it was as if it was a black hole!
"Wonder how large Big Brother's essence energy sea will be!" White Light was also highly anticipating it.
By the side, Yuan Fei's expression became solemn too as he said in a grave voice, "It's here!"
His voice had yet to fade when the essence energy in the cultivation chamber was instantaneously siphoned empty!
"Hiss . . ."
Yuan Fei and White Light exchanged a glance, both seeing the astonishment in the other party's eyes.
This was the cultivation room that the Tranquil Cloud Sect elders normally used to cultivate. The density was twenty times of the outside world!
Such thick heaven and earth essence energy was actually siphoned dry in an instant?
Fortunately, Ye Yuan improved this cultivation room's Spirit Gathering Formation before his retreat. Soon enough, large quantities of essence energy replenished inside again.
But once these essence energies came in, it was immediately sucked dry by Ye Yuan again!
Such an absorption speed made Yuan Fei and White Light unbelievably shocked.
They were both demonic beasts with inherited memories and were very clear regarding the cultivation of human Sea Transformation Realm martial artists.
When ordinary martial artists were breaking through to the Sea Transformation Realm, it was simply impossible to have such absorption rate.
The speed of the absorption indicated that Ye Yuan's essence energy sea still needed massive amounts of essence energy.
These essence energies were just trying to put out a burning cartload of firewood with a cup of water to Ye Yuan!
When the essence energy entered the body from all over Ye Yuan's body, it was instantaneously sucked dry by the black hole inside his body!
Soon enough, Ye Yuan 's black hole-like dantian region had an additional pool of liquid state essence energy, suspended in the center of the black hole.
This was the essence energy sea that had yet to take form!
. . . . . .
"En? What's happening? The essence energy here seems to be draining away!"
"Could it be that there's somebody breaking through? But there are too many people breaking through these few days. Nobody caused such a commotion either!"
"Oh, right, isn't Junior Apprentice Brother Ye in closed-seclusion? Is it possible that he's breaking through?"
"There's really that possibility! Bu, could it be that he's breaking through to the Sea Transformation Realm? Otherwise, why would there be such a huge bustle?"
"Junior Apprentice Brother Ye is in seclusion in the elders' cultivation room. The essence energy density there is twenty times of the outside world. That still isn't enough for him to absorb?"
"Do you think that using common sense to gauge Junior Apprentice Brother Ye is reliable?"
". . . . . ."
The essence energy around Ye Yuan's cultivation room was sucked dry by the Spirit Gathering Formation; the absorption area began to widen out, alarming the other Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples.
Yet, nobody could have expected that this kind of situation persisted for as long as three days!
Ye Yuan's essence energy sea was just like a bottomless pit; it was seemingly unable to be filled no matter how one tried!
"Old Yuan, will Big Brother be okay? This . . . He had already been absorbing essence energy for three days. Just how big is his essence energy sea?" White Light was somewhat filled with anxiety.
Yuan Fei had a face full of astonishment too. These three days, he and White Light watched Ye Yuan absorbed essence energy the entire time. The essence energy in this cultivation room simply had not filled to the brim even up till now.
Just how large did this essence energy sea had to be to be able to absorb at such a rate and amount?!
"I don't know either . . . But I reckon that Young Master's essence energy sea is at least this big?" Yuan Fei gestured a bit, roughly the size of a bathtub.
This was already massive for a First Level Sea Transformation Realm martial artist!
The essence energy seas of the vast majority of Sea Transformation Realm martial artists when just broken through realm was only the size of a fist.
Even for some genius martial artists, their essence energy seas were merely the size of a bowl.
The Fierce Gale World's Zhao Chenggan when just broken through to the Sea Transformation Realm was just the size of a face basin too.
This was already the top existence within a world!
At this time, Ye Yuan finally opened both eyes slowly.
When Yuan Fei saw Ye Yuan's eyes, he actually had a feeling of not daring to stare at it directly!
His present realm was clearly around the same as Ye Yuan's. But he felt immense pressure!
"B-Boss, are you okay still?" White Light asked with somewhat of a parched mouth.
Ye Yuan gave a faint smile and said, "Never felt better!"
"Then . . . just how large is your essence energy sea?" White Light still could not resist asking.
Unrivaled Medicine God
"Around . . . a circumference of 10 feet," Ye Yuan said nonchalantly.
"What?! T-Ten feet!" White Light and Yuan Fei's eyes revealed immense shock at the same time.
Ye Yuan nodded and said, "En. This breakthrough is still considered pretty good. A little better than imagined."
Pretty good?
It was simply heaven-defying, okay?!
What kind of notion was a circumference of 10 feet? The essence energy sea of Third Level Sea Transformation Realms might not reach 10 feet either!
After entering the Sea Transformation Realm, the focus of martial artists' cultivation would be on the essence energy sea.
Martial artists needed to expand the essence energy sea continuously to let the essence energy sea within their dantian space become increasingly more.
Even for some powerful Third Level Sea Transformation Realms, very few among them would have essence energy sea that could reach a circumference of 10 feet!
A circumference of 10 feet was the limit that Third Level Sea Transformation Realms could attain. Only those peerlessly talented geniuses could reach a circumference of 10 feet.
But the problem was that Ye Yuan was only at the First Level Sea Transformation Realm!
That was also to say that the essence energy reserves in Ye Yuan's body right now was already more impressive compared to most Third Level Sea Transformation Realms!
Seen before freaks, but never seen before such a freakish one!
If this were to spread out, how would this let other martial artists live on?
"Big . . . Big Brother, you're really too perverse! Those pinnacle geniuses in the Divine Realm are but your standard too, right?"
In White Light's inherited memories, there were some records regarding the Divine Realm. Hence, he knew what kind of a freakish standard Ye Yuan's breakthrough this time reached.
A Lower Realm martial artist on the same level as a Divine Realm's pinnacle genius. How monstrous of a talent did this need?!
Ye Yuan naturally knew that Divine Realm's standards. An essence energy sea with a circumference of 10 feet was also absolutely an outstanding existence when placed among those of the same generation in the Divine Realm.
Those major factions' junior generation that could reach a circumference of 10 feet when breaking through to the Sea Transformation Realm absolutely did not surpass the number of fingers on one hand as well.
How could the Crystal Formation Realms in the Divine Realm be limited to just millions upon millions?
Not surpassing the number of fingers on one hand. It could be seen how immense the difficulty was.
Ye Yuan had the perfect spirit condensation too. Adding on the effects of the Sea Expanding Pill, he reached such a degree.
Hence, regarding the breakthrough this time, Ye Yuan was still rather pleased.
At least, he knew that when Ji Canglan broke through to the Sea Transformation Realm back then, he did not reach such a perfect state either.
But Ye Yuan also knew that the factors affecting a martial artist's growth were too numerous. Even if he surpassed the Sea Transformation Realm period Ji Canglan, he did not have any areas worthy of being prideful either.
Because what he had to face was the Divine King Realm Ji Canglan!
But, no matter what, this was a very good start.
With his present state, he could basically sweep away Sea Transformation Realm martial artists in the Lower Realms.
Even when facing a First Level Soul Sea Realm powerhouse, he had the strength to fight it out now too!
"Haha. The Sea Transformation Realm is only the beginning. Haven't even reached the middle three stages yet. There's still a long way down the road. Not much of a big deal. Let's go out to take a look first." Towards such a breakthrough, Ye Yuan himself took it very indifferently.
He needed formidable strength right now and not to crush those in the same generation.
Ye Yuan's gaze had never been on those in the same generation. Because he and those in the same generation were not in the same world to begin with.
One he stepped out, Mo Yuntian came forward to greet.
The moment he saw Ye Yuan, his eyes could not help becoming intent as he said in shock, "J-Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, you actually broke through to the Sea Transformation Realm already!"
In truth, Ye Yuan breaking through to Sea Transformation Realm was not what he was most surprised by.
What Mo Yuntian was most taken aback by was that when he faced Ye Yuan, he actually had a feeling of beholding a great mountain!
He had only experienced this kind of feeling with Sect Master Luo Qingfeng before!
How was this possible?
Could it be that Ye Yuan already reached Sect Master's height?
But he was only at the First Level Sea Transformation Realm!
Ye Yuan said with a smile, "En. The seclusion this time was in order to break through to the Sea Transformation Realm. Fortunately, the process went quite smoothly. Is Senior Apprentice Brother Mo looking for me for something?"
Mo Yuntian nodded his head and said with a solemn look, "Zhao Xin they all sent news. Purple Mansion Sect's Sect Master, He Mingde, personally led several thousand disciples to charge over to the Tranquil Cloud Sect in mighty contingents! They will reach the Tranquil Cloud Sect after five days!"
Ye Yuan said, "There should be other news, right?"
Mo Yuntian was stunned and said in surprise, "Uh, how does Junior Apprentice Brother know? This time, He Mingde . . . is escorting Grand Elder Skymaple, Sect Master, as well as Master, Hall Head Ling they all over here together! Looks like . . . they want to force us out of the grand array!"
Ye Yuan did not show a surprised expression. It was as if he had long expected this matter.
He did not go along with Mo Yuntian's words to continue asking, but he enquired, "How's Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu's progress these few days?"
Mo Yuntian could not quite follow Ye Yuan's thought process. What was the meaning of asking about Tian Yu at this time?
Could it be that Tian Yu breaking through realms had any impact on the battle situation?
Mo Yuntian was just about to speak when all of a sudden, a streak of sword intent shot towards the skies. The entire Tranquil Cloud Sect could see it clearly!
Looking at the direction, it was precisely the direction of Victory Peak!
Ye Yuan's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "Looks like Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu broke through. Come, Senior Apprentice Brother Mo. Let's go take a look at Victory Peak together."
. . . . . .
On Victory Peak, sword intent pervaded all around. All the disciples did not dare to approach at all.
Tian Yu's clothes were flapping. His entire being was akin to a celestial god descending upon the mortal world!
After a long while, that boundless sword intent all returned to Tian Yu's body.
The present Tian Yu was akin to a drawn sharp sword; incomparably fierce and sharp.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Unexpected applause sounded. A voice was heard. "Haha. Congratulations to Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu for comprehending true intent. Our Tranquil Cloud Sect has hope for revival!"
Tian Yu's entire body quivered. Arriving before Ye Yuan with a flash, he gave a solemn bow as he said, "For Tian Yu to be able to have this day, it's all due to Junior Apprentice Brother Ye's credit! After today, I, Tian Yu, am willing to follow Junior Apprentice Brother Ye wherever you go so as to repay this kindness!"
But Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "You got to be joking! You're the sect's future and even Grand Elder Skymaple's lineal grandson. How can you follow by my side?"
"After the sect tides over the crisis this time, Tian Yu is willing to serve beside Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, all the way until Junior Apprentice Brother Ye ascends to the Divine Realm!" said Tian Yu very obstinately.
At present, Tian Yu had already comprehended true intent. Yet, it was precisely because of so that he was even more aware of Ye Yuan's prowess!
The concept that Ye Yuan comprehended was actually even more powerful than true intent!
Hence, the day that Ye Yuan ascended to the Divine Realm would not too far away. Furthermore, it was definitely before him!
Ye Yuan did not think that Tian Yu would play this card and could not help saying with a chuckle, "Haha. Then, let's wait until the sect passes this crisis first before talking."
Tian Yu suddenly froze, the eyes he looked at Ye Yuan with revealed a disbelieving look.
"Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, you broke through to the Sea Transformation Realm!" Tian Yu exclaimed in shock.
Same as Mo Yuntian, what he was shocked by was not Ye Yuan breaking through realm.
Tian Yu had just comprehended true intent. His sword intent could not be controlled as he willed yet. But he discovered to his amazement, the sword intent that was leaking out from his body actually dissipated on its own when it approached Ye Yuan's body as if it had seen something terrifying!
Tian Yu originally thought that with him comprehending true intent, he could more or less shrink some of the distance between Ye Yuan and him.
But now, he knew that the disparity between him and Ye Yuan and was even greater!Looking at a great man with awe
Unrivaled Medicine God
With the approach of the Purple Mansion Sect's great army, the atmosphere in the Tranquil Cloud Sect became tense once again.
This time, it was different from before. The Purple Mansion Sect was bringing hostages over!
The Tranquil Cloud Sect's upper echelons were virtually all in the hands of the Purple Mansion Sect. The other party was threatening them with this. What should they do now?
"Purple Mansion Sect this bunch of fellows is really too despicable! They can't beat us head-on, so they actually used Grand Elder's and Sect Master's lives to come and coerce us!"
"Heh heh, that bunch of fellows simply don't know what face is. Isn't being cunning and insidious what they are most skilled in? If it weren't for them enduring patiently for many years and pushing the Heavenly Sky Sect to the teeth of the storm, how could the Southern Domain change hands so easy as well?"
"I say, Senior Apprentice Brother Mo, Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu, how about you guys go ask Senior Apprentice Brother Ye? We don't have any confidence at all in our hearts!"
One had to acknowledge that Lin Chao's move was indeed vicious.
The Tranquil Cloud Sect's sole reliance was the sect protecting grand array. But with this move from Lin Chao, it was forcing people out of the grand array.
This plan which severed any future offspring truly had no chink in the armor.
Tian Yu and Mo Yuntian exchanged a look and nodded at the same time.
Regardless of how great a breakthrough they obtained, facing the formidable Purple Mansion Sect, they simply did not have the slightest strength to retaliate.
Their only reliance was Ye Yuan!
Yet, when they arrived at Ye Yuan's residence, they discovered that Ye Yuan was not there at all.
Asking around, nobody knew where Ye Yuan went either.
. . . . . .
Under the moonlight, two silhouettes appeared outside the Tranquil Cloud Sect's gates.
"Has Miss Yue been well recently?"
"Being by Mister Ye's side, Li-er's pain has lessened considerably."
"Sigh. It's a shame that I can't take time off to attend to something else right now. Or else, I can help you seek out the Azure Spirit Tree. The Endless Forest's territory is vast, and resources are abundant. Perhaps the Azure Spirit Tree can be found in there!"
"Endless Forest huh . . . That place seems very extraordinary. I went there once but only up to the 10 thousand mile region before not daring to go deeper in. A tiny little lower plane actually has such a terrifying place! If it is the Endless Forest, there might really be an Azure Spirit Tree. It's just . . . that place is too dangerous. I don't wish for you to take such a huge risk for me."
"Miss Yue is treating me as an outsider with those words. If I remember correctly, the mystic realm trip this time, Miss Yue saved me three times, right? If I didn't encounter Miss Yue, how would I, Ye Yuan, still have the life to speak here right now?"
Yue Mengli covered her mouth and said with a smile, "Didn't Mister Ye save me too?"
Being together with Ye Yuan, Yue Mengli was meeting with her original looks.
Looking at a beauty under the moon. This gentle smile from Yue Mengli seemingly stirred the moonlight, captivating even the moonlight!
Ye Yuan actually stared at her somewhat dazedly.
"So beautiful!" Ye Yuan was overcome by an irresistible impulse to give a praise.
Yue Mengli was stunned and actually lowered her head with a blush all over her face.
Ever since growing up, the men who flattered Yue Mengli was too many to count. But she did not even spare a glance at those men's fawning.
But, not knowing why, hearing Ye Yuan's words today, she actually had a feeling of palpitation and excitement.
For such a long time, Yue Mengli followed Ye Yuan on the quiet and was already very clear on his character.
She knew that Ye Yuan's words earlier was wholehearted praise and did not have the slightest intention of being frivolous.
Ye Yuan was not that kind of lecherous individual. Or else, placing a kingdom-toppling great beauty like Xiao Ruyan in front of him, normal people would have long taken her into their harem. How would it become this sort of relationship now?
It was precisely because of so that Ye Yuan's praises appeared even more precious.
Ye Yuan also realized that he lost composure and said with an awkward smile, "Miss Yue . . ."
"Mister Ye better call me Li-er. Or Mengli works too," Yue Mengli responded.
Ye Yuan did not try to feign either and said with a nod, "Then I'd better call you Li-er. You don't keep calling me Mister Ye either. Just say my name directly."
Yue Mengli nodded her head. Ye Yuan continued, "How was that considered saving people? It was just displaying my meager skills before an expert."
But Yue Mengli shook her head and said, "With my looks at that time, you and I were complete strangers, and you actually risked your life to save Li-er. Li-er has always engraved it in my heart. Furthermore, Ye Yuan, you have the compassionate heart of a doctor. Seeing that I had a strange ailment, you didn't stint in sharing the pill formula and divine soul mystic art. Such breadth of mind is highly precious to Li-er."
Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "Alright, alright, let's not blow each other's trumpets here. I have a score about everything in my heart. Li-er's ailment, just count on me! After the Tranquil Cloud Sect's matters settle, I'll enter the Endless Forest to help you find this Azure Spirit Tree."
Yue Mingli smiled sweetly and said, "Then Li-er give thanks in advance."
Finished talking, the pair exchanged glances and smiled, but the atmosphere became somewhat ambiguous.
As they walked, they actually fell silent.
Finally, it was Yue Mengli who broke this silence. She said, "Ye Yuan, you're really a prodigious talent. I observe that your current aura is only stronger and not weaker than those at the Third Level Sea Transformation Realm! In the Sea Transformation Realm, you're nigh invincible! Moreover, when you were at the Crystal Formation Realm, you actually comprehended the elementary form of a supreme true intent! It is truly mind-boggling! With your talent, even when placed in the Divine Realm, you're also a pinnacle existence. I really dare not believe that you came from a tiny little secular world kingdom."
Yue Mengli's horizons were absolutely not what Lower Realm martial artists could compare to. Things that many Lower Realm martial artists did not understand, Yue Mengli knew.
But, the more so, the more Yue Mengli felt that Ye Yuan was an enigmatic existence.
Or perhaps, it was precisely this sort of enigmatic disposition which deeply attracted her.
"Haha. This Ye naturally had some fortuitous encounters. Furthermore, I'm not foreign to the Divine Realm's matters either. But this Ye, I, has my own difficulties that are hard to disclose. When there's a chance in the future, this Ye will definitely speak candidly," Ye Yuan said.
Yue Mengli's eyes flickered, and she gave a melancholic sigh as he said, "Which genius such as yourself doesn't have their own secrets. I won't ask then."
Ye Yuan gave a slight smile, feeling that this Yue Mengli was really considerate.
When speaking and doing things, she gave people a feeling of the spring breeze caressing one's cheeks.
"Thank you very much, Li-er," Ye Yuan said with a smile.
Yue Mengli said smilingly, "You didn't invite me out of the sect at night just to chit-chat and admire the moon, right?"
Ye Yuan chortled and said, "Of course not!"
As he said, Ye Yuan suddenly erupted. A sword finger shot over towards the jungle.
Only to see an azure light flash, vanishing into the dense vegetation.
"Ah!" A miserable cry was heard. There was actually somebody lying in wait there!
Yue Mengli did not have any surprised expression towards this. Evidently, she had known long ago.
Right then, two black shadows suddenly scurried not far away, fleeing helter-skelter.
Ye Yuan gave a cold laugh and shot out another two streaks of sword qi!
Another two tragic cries sounded.
Ye Yuan dusted his hands and said, "Alright. Those spying little thieves are cleaned up. Now, we can get down to proper business!"
As he said this, Ye Yuan took out a small flag from his storage ring. It was shockingly the Profound Ice Flag that Wei Xiao gave him back at the Grand Yan Space!
Yue Mengli's gaze turned intent, and she said, "It's actually an array formation profound artifact!"
"Hur hur, Li-er has sharp eyes!" Ye Yuan said with a chuckle.
"You're trying to . . ." Yue Mengli said curiously.
"You'll know in a while."
As he said, Ye Yuan mustered up essence energy. The Profound Ice Flag emitted a dazzling light!

The vast and mighty army gathered before the gates once more with He Mingde taking the lead. The air of an overlord was displayed fully beyond all doubt.
Lin Chao came forward from the army. He yelled out in the direction of the Tranquil Cloud Sect, "Ye Yuan, an old friend came here to see you, and you don't even come out to say hi. This isn't the way to treat guests!"
Finished talking, Lin Chao was not in a rush either, quietly waiting for Ye Yuan's reply.
Hearing Lin Chao's yell, Mo Yuntian said in surprise, "We came back so secretively. How did the Purple Mansion Sect know that you're directing the grand array?"
Ye Yuan was also rather surprised. But he reacted to it very quickly and said with a smile, "Hur hur, this person, Senior Apprentice Brother Mo knows as well. It's really an old friend!"
"I know too? Ah! You're saying . . . Lin Chao?" Mo Yuntian reacted to it too.
Ye Yuan smiled as he nodded and said, "This person is full of schemes and has already witnessed my performance in the mystic realm. Him guessing that I had returned isn't strange."
Mo Yuntian's brows knitted tightly. Evidently, his impression of this Lin Chao was very deep.
One could say that the situation formed in the Southern Domain right now, the root all lay with this Lin Chao!
"Looking at it, the idea of using Grand Elder they all to threaten us was surely came up by him. Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, you mustn't fall for it!" Mo Yuntian said solemnly.
Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Haha. I'll go and meet with this Lin Chao!"
"No way!"
"Out of the question!"
. . . . . .
Ye Yuan was just about to leave the grand array when all of the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples actually blocked his exit without any prior consultation and refused to let him leave.
"Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, you're the sect's last hope. If anything were to happen to you, the Tranquil Cloud Sect would be thoroughly finished!"
"Yeah, Senior Apprentice Brother Ye. They are clearly trying to force you out in the open. You mustn't fall for it!"
"Senior Apprentice Brother Ye, we can't let you deliver yourself to death!"
. . . . . .
The Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples were all clamoring to speak. All in all, the meaning that they were trying to bring across was to not let Ye Yuan go through dangers easily.
Right then, Lin Chao's voice came over once more.
"Ye Yuan, are you not even going to honor an old friend's invitation? I brought immense sincerity over here this time. You take a look. Grand Elder Skymaple, Sect Master Luo, Hall Head Xiao, Hall Head Ling, I brought all of them here for you!"
When these words came out, everyone's faces all changed.
Ye Yuan said, "Haha, looks like whether I go out or not isn't up to me!"
The faces of those Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples were all very conflicted but not a single one moved their foot away. Evidently, they were still unwilling to let Ye Yuan go out in their hearts.
Yet, Skymaple, Luo Qingfeng, and the rest, their lives were in danger. The disciples truly did not know what they should do.
Right at that moment, Tian Yu suddenly came forward.
Only to see his eyes crimson red throughout, his entire person like he was possessed.
When Ye Yuan saw Tian Yu like this, he could not help being stunned too. "Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu?"
Tian Yu suddenly shut his eyes, took in a deep breath, and snapped open his eyes and said, "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, don't go out! Grandpa they . . . they all will understand!"
This sentence, ten over words, Tian Yu seemed to have used all of his strength.
Especially the latter half of the sentence. He practically choked it out through sobs.
When he finished talking, his face was already covered in tears.
Such a decision was too cruel to him.
Tian Yu was practically brought up by Skymaple hand-in-hand. Their relationship, everyone in the Tranquil Cloud Sect knew.
Yet now, Tian Yu actually said to give up on Grand Elder!
Everyone's gazes focused on Tian Yu, and their eyes actually turned red.
Everybody fell silent. This decision was an extremely arduous decision for everyone.
Yet, Lin Chao seemed to know what was happening here. His voice rang out untimely again. "Ye Yuan, I know that you can hear me! Look, I invited you out to meet up and have a chat properly, but you just have to make me resort to force. How about this? From now onwards, every 15 minutes, I'll kill a Tranquil Cloud Sect prisoner all the way until you come out!"
When the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples heard this, they wished that they could go out and tear Lin Chao into shreds.
But one had to acknowledge that Lin Chao's words seemed to clamp down on their throats, making it extremely uncomfortable for them.
Ye Yuan said helplessly, "You all heard as well. We can't very well look on passively as Grand Elder they all die in front of us, right? Everybody relax. I'll be right back. Nothing will happen."
Ye Yuan's figure moved and passed the group of Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples.
Yet, right at this time, a figure blocked in front of him. It was precisely Tian Yu.
"Ye Yuan, not that I fear death, but seeking death like this is really not worth it! Any one of us can go and die, only you alone can't! Without you, the Tranquil Cloud Sect will thoroughly lose any hope for taking revenge!" Tian Yu said resolutely.
Ye Yuan was touched in his heart, but he said with a smile, "Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu, rest assured. I'm not going to court death."
Tian Yu was very clear about Ye Yuan's character. Except, the sect protecting grand array was Ye Yuan's final measure. How could he be willing to believe Ye Yuan's words?
Even if Ye Yuan broke through to the Sea Transformation Realm, it was also not possible to be He Mingde's match!
Going out like this, what was it but seeking death?
"Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, if you must go out, then kill me first! If you insist on leaving, I know that I can't stop you, but I can kill myself!"
As he said, Tian Yu raised his sword and put it against his neck.
Ye Yuan did not think that Tian Yu would actually be so decisive. He said helplessly, "Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu, I'm really not deceiving you. Time is of the essence. Explain to you again later. Going to have to offend!"
As he said, Ye Yuan's figure flashed, arriving in front of Tian Yu the next instant.
Tian Yu did not even get to react and was brought down by Ye Yuan.
"Senior Apprentice Brother Mo, help me take care of Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu. I'll be right back," Ye Yuan said.
Finished talking, Ye Yuan flew away.
. . . . . .
"Ye Yuan, looks like you don't care about these Tranquil Cloud Sect people's lives anymore. Then I'll make a move! Remember to find somebody to help collect their corpses in a while! Do it!" Lin Chao's voice resounded throughout the entire Tranquil Cloud Sect.
"Halt!"
A voice came over. Ye Yuan's figure slowly appeared out from the grand array.
When Lin Chao saw Ye Yuan, he could not help it but to show a smile because his scheme had succeeded.
"Ye Yuan, it's really been a long time we haven't see each other!" Lin Chao said with a smile.
Ye Yuan snorted coldly and said, "Humph! Lin Chao, it's really you!"
"Huhu, these words should be said by me instead! I really didn't think that you could actually escape from the Fierce Gale World! Truly inconceivable!' Lin Chao said.
"Zhao Tianyin is a fool. What's so strange about escaping from his hands?" Ye Yuan said indifferently.
Lin Chao was stupefied when he heard that and said, "Who's Zhao Tianyin?"
"You don't even know the Wind Emperor's exalted name and actually work yourself to the bone for him. I really feel sad for you!" Ye Yuan said with a look of pity.
"H-His Majesty, the Wind Emperor's name! You . . . You have met the Wind Emperor, His Excellency?"
Lin Chao no longer had the composure from before. What replaced it was astonishment.
He thought that Ye Yuan was being hunted down the entire time and that being able to escape was simply by luck.
But now, Ye Yuan said that he met the Wind Emperor and even escaped from the Wind Emperor's hands!
How was this possible?
Then he heard Ye Yuan nonchalantly said, "Haha, not only have I met him, his elderly self . . . even kowtowed before me to admit his fault!"
Unrivaled Medicine God
When Ye Yuan's words were heard, not just Lin Chao, all of the Purple Mansion Sect's disciples were overwhelmed with indignation!
They felt that this was Ye Yuan insulting His Majesty, the Wind Emperor!
How could a puny little Tranquil Cloud Sect disciple make the high and mighty Wind Emperor kneel down?
Lin Chao's expression became very ugly, and he said with a cold grunt, "Ye Yuan, you're challenging my baseline! Looks like if I don't show you some colors, you'll forever not know pain! Come, men! Bring Ling Potian up here for me and kill him!"
The Purple Mansion Sect's Sect Master seemed to not have the intention of talking and left everything here to Lin Chao.
Under Lin Chao's command, Ling Potian was brought before the formation very quickly by two Sea Transformation Realm martial artists.
Ling Potian still had that icy-cold look and was pushed and shoved by two Sea Transformation Realm martial artists. But his expression was one with stubbornness!
When Ye Yuan saw the situation, his face changed, and he said, "Lin Chao, I already came out. What else do you want?"
Lin Chao said with a cold smile, "His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, is a paramount existence. You actually dare to defame him so! This is the result of you slandering him!"
As he said, Lin Chao did a chopping action. A Sea Transformation Realm martial artist raised his hand and lowered his blade without even furrowing his eyebrows. Ling Potian died just like this.
Ye Yuan was livid with rage. Clearly, he did not think that Lin Chao would actually be so decisive to directly kill people.
Lin Chao waved his hand. But this time, Xiao Jian was brought up!
"Ye Yuan, I think that you still haven't figure out just how is holding the initiative right now!" Lin Chao looked at Ye Yuan with a proud look.
Ye Yuan's expression was very ugly, and he said with a cold snort, "Lin Chao, don't go too far!"
"Haha. When you used the grand array to cut down our three grand elders, why didn't you say words like this? I really never expected that you could actually rely on a grand array to perform to such an extent. Honestly speaking, if not for guessing that you had returned, I really wouldn't have dared to recommend Sect Master to use such measures. I think that with your personality, you probably wouldn't watch passively as the few of them died in front of you, right? Hahaha!"
Talking about how he was proud of himself, Lin Chao laughed wildly unceasingly.
"Lin Chao! I really regret not killing you back then in the mystic realm!" Ye Yuan said, through gnashed teeth.
"There is no medicine that can be eaten for regret in this world! Speaking of which, if not for you bringing me past those grand arrays, I wouldn't have a way to crack the Six Extreme Seals Grand Array! For my Fierce Gale World's aboriginals to be able to appear in the sight of people once again, it's truly all thanks to you!" Lin Chao became more delighted the more he talked.
Speaking of which, Lin Chao also suffered a fair bit of losses in the hands of Ye Yuan too, and he almost died in Ye Yuan's hands a number of times.
Now that he could finally take revenge on Ye Yuan, Lin Chao was also incomparably free from inhibitions in his heart.
Seeing that visage of Ye Yuan's that was black like the bottom of a pot, Lin Chao felt liberating to the max.
"Talk then. What terms do you want before you're willing to let Grand Elder they all go!" Ye Yuan said.
Lin Chao said smilingly, "Very simple. As long as you get rid of this sect protecting grand array and surrender to my Purple Mansion Sect, I can spare their lives!"
Ye Yuan's expression changed, and he immediately refused, "That's impossible! Keep dreaming!"
Lin Chao had an amused look as he said, "Is that so . . ."
As he spoke, Lin Chao's hand slowly raised.
Only to hear a spray. Xiao Jian was decapitated too!
"Hall Head Xiao!" Ye Yuan clearly did not expect that Lin Chao would actually kill people like so without batting his eyes, as he said with a roar.
"Huhu. I wonder . . . if I'm dreaming right now?" Lin Chao looked at Ye Yuan and said mockingly.
He knew Ye Yuan's temperament, which was why he used such intense measures to force Ye Yuan to submit.
The first two was killed straightforwardly. But at the back, he would naturally take it slow.
As long as he still had a person in his hands, he would not fear Ye Yuan not holding back when taking action.
As long as Ye Yuan removed the grand array, then the entire Tranquil Cloud Sect was equivalent to being annihilated.
Or maybe, Ye Yuan himself walking out of the grand array.
Lin Chao believed that so long as this sect protecting grand array did not have Ye Yuan presiding over it, with He Mingde's strength, he could surely breach it easily!
What he needed to do was to stun Ye Yuan's state of mind, and make Ye Yuan lose his normal judgment.
Now, his plan had basically half-succeeded already!
Ye Yuan currently had furious eyes; far from that sort of cool and composed feeling normally.
At this time, Lin Chao waved his hand again. The one brought up this time was precisely Sect Master Luo Qingfeng!
"Ye Yuan, still want to do it?" Lin Chao said coolly.
The current Lin Chao was like a sovereign who overlooked all life, holding the power of the Tranquil Cloud Sect's upper echelon's life and death!
Ye Yuan's present complexion was already gloomy to be extreme. He enunciated word by word, "You're . . . courting . . . death!"
As he said, Ye Yuan walked out of the Tranquil Cloud Sect's sect protecting grand array just like that, bringing along floating flower petals that filled the entire sky.
Seeing this scene, Lin Chao was not alarmed, but became delighted instead!
This Ye Yuan finally could not bear it and walked out of the grand array himself!
Although he was alarmed due to the might of Ye Yuan's attacks, with Lord Sect Master here, what could Ye Yuan do to him?
Ye Yuan's eyes were crimson red, looking as if he was completely possessed.
Thousand Flowing Petals carried a soul-stirring deterring power as it gradually approached Lin Chao.
He Mingde looked at Ye Yuan and Lin Chao's conversation expressionlessly all the way until this moment, did his eyes show immense shock.
The power of this move was too strong!
This was still his first time seeing this genius from Lin Chao's mouth. When he saw him for the first time earlier, he did not seem to have any extraordinary aspects either.
But when he saw this scene, He Mingde finally understood that Lin Chao's appraisal of Ye Yuan was not too high. It was actually too low!
Just based on this move, Ye Yuan was simply without any match within the Sea Transformation Realm!
Yet, this young man was just merely First Level Sea Transformation Realm!
Such talent, such combat strength, it was overwhelming until it made people feel suffocated!
However . . .
A hint of a cruel smile flashed across He Mingde's face. Even more talented geniuses would stop here today!
Ye Yuan stood inside the grand array all along previously. He Mingde was wary of the grand array; that was why he observed by the side the entire time.
Now that Ye Yuan already walked out of the sect protecting grand array, He Mingde no longer had anything to fear.
Lin Chao was a peerless genius among the Purple Mansion Sect's junior generation. Going to the Fierce Gale World this time and obtaining His Majesty, the Wind Emperor's bestowal, his strength improved at a tremendous pace even more so.
But, even like this, he was still not Ye Yuan's match!
He Mingde naturally would not watch Ye Yuan kill Lin Chao passively. Hence, he took action. Ye Yuan was already increasingly closer to Lin Chao. The astonishment in Lin Chao's could not be any greater as well.
He felt immense pressure. The attack of a First Level Sea Transformation Realm could actually give him such tremendous pressure!
But Lin Chao did not perform any defensive move. He knew that He Mingde would definitely make a move!
As long as Ye Yuan exited the grand array, he did not have any chance to return anymore!
"Lin Chao, it's you who are seeking death; I can't be blamed!" Ye Yuan said in a seemingly crazed-state.
At present, Ye Yuan had advanced to the Sea Transformation Realm. The power of the Thousand Flowing Petals went further up another step.
Those horrifying flying petals swept towards Lin Chao.
At that very moment, a horrifying majesty descended abruptly. A white light roughly the size of a bowl plummeted from the sky, directly blasting onto Ye Yuan's body!
Ye Yuan did not even get to scream out and was obliterated by this move!
Lin Chao looked at this scene with a look of self-delight and was incomparably satisfied.
This fellow finally died!
Yet, right at that moment, He Mingde's expression changed. He yelled out, "Lin Chao, be careful!"
Chapter 467 Unable to Distinguish Real from Fake
Logically speaking, with Ye Yuan being obliterated, his move would also dissipate right away.
Yet, those flying petals that covered the sky actually did not have the slightest trace of dissipating. Instead, it sped up and churned over towards Lin Chao!
When Lin Chao saw the situation, his expression could not help changing drastically.
He Mingde did not expect such an outcome either and could not help turning pale with fright.
His figure swayed, and vanished from its original spot!
Yet, it was already late!
Even though the speed of a late-stage Soul Sea Realm was fast, him only moving at this time was clearly a beat slower already.
Clusters of flower petals quickly encased Lin Chao!
"Agh! Sect Master, save me!"
He already sensed the power of this move just now. But he only realised how terrifying this move was when confronting it head-on right now!
No matter how he unleashed his moves, it had no way of obstructing the flower petals' encroachment!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
In the blink of an eye, the flower petals broke through his protective essence energy and sliced his flesh body!
"Lin Chao!"
By the time He Mingde reached, Lin Chao already sprawled feebly onto the ground, his life and death unknown.
He Mingde's face was livid with rage as he looked at this scene in disbelief.
A First Level Sea Transformation Realm actually succeeded in ambushing Lin Chao right under He Mingde's eyes!
That move of his earlier had clearly struck Ye Yuan already. Putting aside that Ye Yuan was just a First Level Sea Transformation Realm, even a First Level Soul Sea Realm should be deader than dead too.
But why did Ye Yuan's move not dissipate?
He Mingde quickly raised his head, looking all around, trying to find Ye Yuan's profile.
However, where was Ye Yuan's silhouette?
It was as if he just blasted onto the air just now!
This kind of feeling was extremely surreal. He Mingde had never encountered such a situation before.
Suddenly, He Mingde's expression changed.
A figure gradually took form in front of him. It was precisely Ye Yuan that he obliterated previously!
Ye Yuan shot an indifferent glance at Lin Chao collapsed on the ground and said with a sigh, "A pity. I expended too much essence energy in the end. Killing you now is a kind of ability falling short of my will. Consider it you're having another life then."
Looking at Ye Yuan not far away, He Mingde was very perplexed. Just how did Ye Yuan dodge his attack earlier?
That sort of feeling earlier was absolutely unmistakable. He had indeed struck Ye Yuan.
A First Level Sea Transformation Realm received an attack of his fully and actually stood before him without a scratch. What kind of situation was this?
He Mingde was scheming and calculating by nature. Seeing Ye Yuan appear again, he did not immediately take action.
He surveyed the surroundings but did not discover anything out of the ordinary.
Just where did the problem occur?
"Boy, how did you do it?" He Mingde suddenly opened his mouth to ask.
Ye Yuan lifted his head slightly, looked at He Mingde, and he said, "Wanted to do it, so did it. Didn't you take into account every conceivable possibility? Make a guess then what means I used to do it."
He Mingde's brows furrowed. Ye Yuan had a look as if he had nothing to fear. Very clearly, he did not fear He Mingde taking action.
"Humph! Pretending to be mysterious! Go to hell!"
He Mingde struck out a palm and obliterated Ye Yuan again!
The feeling was exactly the same as before. The Ye Yuan before his eyes was deader than dead.
This time, he should be really dead, right?
Looking around again, he totally did not sense Ye Yuan's aura. Just a dead person in front of him.
Not knowing why, He Mingde actually had a feeling of liberated from a heavy load.
"Were you looking for me?" A cool voice was heard. It actually startled He Mingde until he broke into a cold sweat.
Raising his head to look, Ye Yuan was standing there perfectly unscathed again, like nothing happened at all just now!
"You . . . How are you still alive?!" He Mingde said as his expression changed.
Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "You should feel lucky, lucky that my present realm is still low. Or else, you attacking the Tranquil Cloud Sect this time would be your time of death! Now, bring your men and quickly scram!"
He Mingde was livid with rage. He finally confirmed that he had already fallen into an illusion!
But . . . just when did he fall into an illusion?
Could it be that there was an even more powerful existence behind this young man?
He Mingde discovered to his shock that this illusion was too lifelike.
If not for Ye Yuan this irrational existence, he wouldn't even know that he had succumbed to an illusion!
"Just how did you do it? You're only at the First Level Sea Transformation Realm. How can you possibly set up such a formidable illusionary formation?" He Mingde asked grimly.
Wanting to deceive a powerhouse whose realm was so much higher than his with an illusionary formation, this was simply impossible!
Furthermore, this was not a small-scale illusionary formation. An extremely massive illusionary formation was needed to deceive everyone from the Purple Mansion Sect. The demand for energy and effort for an array master reached an even more terrifying extent.
Ye Yuan flashed a smile and said, "Still remember Grand Yan True Sect?"
This time, He Mingde was truly astounded. "You . . . You're the Grand Yan True Sect's successor?"
"It's also not wrong for you to think that way. Back then, in order to stop your Fierce Gale World from invading, the Grand Yan True Sect mustered the entire sect's power to seal the realm passageway. Yet, you all destroyed that seal. Now, using this grand array to deal with you also counts as retribution!" Ye Yuan said nonchalantly.
"Impossible! Although the Grand Yan True Sect's array formation was incredible, there was no such illusionary array either!"
He Mingde was clearly very clear about the Grand Yan True Sect and did not believe at all.
Ye Yuan said smilingly, "If the Grand Yan True Sect's Sect Master had grasped this set of array formation back then, then there wouldn't have anything to do with the Wind Emperor. If he dared to come, he would also have no chance to return alive!"
The astonishment in He Mingde's heart could not be any greater. He knew that what Ye Yuan said was not false.
This set of array formation was too powerful. It actually made him, a late-stage Soul Sea Realm powerhouse, sink into it imperceptibly.
If the Grand Yan True Sect's Sect Master had fully comprehended this set of array formation back then, crossing realms to trap His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, might not be impossible either!
What made He Mingde even more shocked was that an array formation that even the Grand Yan True Sect's Sect Master was unable to comprehend, this young man before his eyes actually comprehended it!
He Mingde was very clear about the Grand Yan True Sect and was deeply aware of what kind of genius the Grand Yan True Sect's Sect Master was.
Just how monstrous was this youth before his eyes?!
"Alright. Not much time left. Thank you very much for sending Sect Master Luo they all back over a long distance. Now, you all can get lost."
Ye Yuan finished talking, and his profile vanished hazily where he stood.
He Mingde's hairs stood on its ends from feeling alarmed. Could it be that the array formation already vanished?
But compared to just now, there didn't seem to be anything different!
No, wait!
He Mingde's face changed and was just about to check on the Tranquil Cloud Sect prisoners, but heard the Purple Mansion Sect disciples over there crying out already!
"Ah! Where's Skymaple?"
"Luo Qingfeng disappeared too!"
"Also Xiao Jian and Ling Potian!"
"This . . . What's going on here? I was still grabbing them earlier. Where are they?"
All . . . All disappeared? Hang on, Xiao Jian? Ling Potian? Weren't those two people dead already? He Mingde just now clearly saw Lin Chao give the orders to kill them!
His gaze became intense and involuntarily looked over where those two people were beheaded earlier. But how was there any corpses there? There wasn't even a drop of bloodstain!
He Mingde was completely thrown off his bearings. His mind was in somewhat of a trance right now. Just what was real and what was fake?
He suddenly took a look at the Lin Chao on the ground. Seemed like only this was real . . .
Unrivaled Medicine God
"L-Lord Sect Master, what happened?" Zhu Mingyu asked He Mingde hesitantly.
This scene was too bizarre. In broad daylight, with thousands of pairs of eyes watching, the prisoners actually vanished without a trace.
"Scram! Useless thing!" He Mingde snarled irately, sending Zhu Mingyu flying with a slap.
He naturally knew that Zhu Mingyu could not be blamed for this. Even he, a late-stage Soul Sea Realm martial artist, fell into the grand array imperceptibly, let alone the Sea Transformation Realm Zhu Mingyu.
But He Mingde was gloomy to the max right now and just happened to need an outlet to vent. At that moment, Zhu Mingyu came forward insensibly. Served him right to have a tough luck.
Furthermore, this kind of thing needed somebody to take the blame. Zhu Mingyu was responsible for guarding the prisoners this time. Now that the prisoners were gone, he obviously became the best scapegoat.
"You dunce! Can't even watch the prisoners! What do I want you for?" He Mingde said in a deep voice.
This blow of his directly beat Zhu Mingyu to heavy injuries, and he could not even speak.
He Mingde looked at the sect protecting grand array before his eyes and mused for a long while because slowly spitting out several words, "Army, withdraw!"
Ye Yuan was seriously too abnormal. Hence, He Mingde did not have the courage to challenge this grand array.
Ma Yi's, He Jun's, and Liao Wenguang's incidences were still vivid in his mind. If even he, the sect master, died to it as well, the Purple Mansion Sect would be in a complete disarray.
Hence, He Mingde chose to withdraw in the end!
It was just that He Mingde did not know he missed the one and only chance to breach the sect protecting grand array.
. . . . . .
When Skymaple and the rest were carried into the Tranquil Cloud Sect by the stone ape clan, they felt that this was like a dream.
"Martial Uncle, are we . . . dreaming? We actually . . . returned to the Tranquil Cloud Sect again!" Luo Qingfeng said tremblingly.
Skymaple had a face full of shock as well as he said, "Yeah. It's really like a dream! I even thought that we'd die horrible deaths this time. I didn't expect that in a twinkle, we actually returned to the Tranquil Cloud Sect!"
"Just . . . Just what in the world happened? Why did those Purple Mansion Sect people have no reaction at all when we were brought out? This . . . This is too unbelievable!" Xiao Jian still did not dare to believe it until now.
"And these stone apes . . . what's going on?"
Before long, they arrived at the central area of the formation. When Mo Yuntian and the rest of the disciples saw Skymaple and the rest, they immediately froze.
"G-Grand Elder, Sect Master, Master . . . you all . . . you all . . ." Mo Yuntian had a look of disbelief.
They were still worrying about Ye Yuan. Who knew that in the blink of an eye, Skymaple and the rest actually showed up before their eyes. This gave them an extremely unreal feeling.
"Yuntian . . . you . . . you're actually still alive!"
When Xiao Jian saw this eldest disciple, his eyes unwittingly turned red and was actually about to shed tears.
Skymaple and the rest were similarly dumbfounded with shock. Originally, they thought that Mo Yuntian these people all died in the mystic realm. Now, they actually came back perfectly unscathed. Furthermore, their strength all had improved.
"Yuntian, can it be that you saved us?" Xiao Jian said in astonishment.
Mo Yuntian shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "How could we have such capabilities? This one month plus, it was Ye Yuan alone holding up the overall situation!"
"Y-Ye Yuan? Where is he?" Xiao Jian exclaimed in surprise.
Skymaple and Luo Qingfeng exchanged glances and thought the same thing. Indeed it's Ye Yuan!
Actually, at the Towering Peak, the two of them already had speculations in their hearts. But hearing Mo Yuntian's reply personally right now, they still felt tongue-tied from the shock.
"Ye Yuan he . . . " Mo Yuntian said somewhat hesitantly.
He really did not know where Ye Yuan went. Logically speaking, having rescued Skymaple and the rest, Ye Yuan should have returned. But Ye Yuan did not make an appearance after so long.
"Ye Yuan forcefully deployed the Greater Confounding Formation. Currently, his essence energy and soul force are consumed greatly, and he already fell into a coma."
At this time, a gorgeous figure appeared in the sights of everybody. It was precisely Yue Mengli.
Although Yue Mengli's appearance was ugly, after coming into contact frequently, her every action had a noble grace. The Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples actually could not give birth to any disgust towards her.
"What? Ye Yuan he . . . is he alright?" Skymaple exclaimed.
Yue Mengli shook her head and said, "Ye Yuan prepared long ago. There isn't any major issue. But he probably can't meet with anyone these few days. He asks you all to settle the sect's internal affairs first. After he leaves seclusion, he'll naturally meet with you guys. Oh, right, the Purple Mansion Sect has already retreated. The Tranquil Cloud Sect is safe for the time being."
As she said, Yue Mengli was wonderstruck in her heart too.
Ye Yuan took into account virtually everything. If He Mingde personally cracked the formation at this time, without Ye Yuan's management, the grand array would simply not be able to endure.
But after witnessing Ye Yuan's bizarre means, He Mingde simply did not dare to easily attack the formation, and he actually led the Purple Mansion Sect disciples to withdraw!
This empty fort strategy was simply sung unprecedented in history, and it was unrepeatable after!
These few days, she had accompanied Ye Yuan to set up the formation constantly and also had many interactions with Ye Yuan.
Yue Mengli discovered to her shock that Ye Yuan was simply a genius!
From the day that he used the sect protecting grand array to defend the Tranquil Cloud Sect to the death, he already predicted the situation today.
Slaying two middle-stage Soul Sea Realms domineeringly before was for the sake of making He Mingde be in awe; it was to make him not dare to make any move rashly!
Such scheming strategy was simply heaven-defying!
Finished talking, Yue Mengli gave a graceful bow to everyone and left.
The Greater Confounding Formation was born from the Asura Confounding Formation. But it was much more powerful than the Lesser Confounding Formation that Ye Yuan used in the Fierce Gale World.
Just to set up this grand array, Ye Yuan used five days' time. This was even the result of making use of the profound artifact, Profound Ice Flag.
Ever since Ye Yuan exited seclusion, he would disappear for a period of time each day. It was to go in front of the gates to set up the Greater Confounding Formation!
Ye Yuan linked up the sect protecting grand array and the Greater Confounding Formation ingeniously. Moreover, the setup range was massive.
This Profound Ice Flag was really a supreme Formation Path treasure. It should be the treasure that Lu Linfeng left behind for the sect before ascending. Using it to set up the grand array was really twice the result with half the effort.
It was also precisely due to the Profound Ice Flag's assistance that Ye Yuan could complete the setup of this Greater Confounding Formation and deploy it.
The Profound Ice Flag and the Greater Confounding Formation that came from the Asura Confounding Formation were well-deserving of being supreme lower realm treasures that the Grand Yan Divine King left behind. Furthermore, matching these two items together actually had indescribable might. It could make He Mingde, an expert of such level, fell into the grand array unknowingly.
With Ye Yuan's present strength, deploying and maintaining this grand array was still too forceful.
Plus, he even forcefully used the Thousand Flowing Petals at the final juncture and severely injured Lin Chao. This caused his consumption to be even greater as well.
After Yue Mengli left, Skymaple said with Mo Yuntian, "Come, come, Yuntian. Have a good chat with me about your experiences these few months."
Mo Yuntian nodded to acknowledge and recounted the various events that happened during this period of time for Skymaple and the rest.
Only then did Skymaple and the rest know just the sort of sky-rocking incident happened in these few months.
Even though they were imprisoned in the Heavenly Sky Sect these few days, they were very perplexed the entire time. They were unaware how the Purple Mansion Sect had such strength.
Only now, hearing that there was actually an existence like the Fierce Gale World, did they come to a realization.
Hearing about how Ye Yuan actually slew three Soul Sea Realm powerhouses with the sect protecting grand array again, they were astounded until their jaws nearly fell off!
[0] Title comes from the Chinese Thirty-Six Stratagems. It means bluffing the enemy by putting on a bold front to conceal a weakly defended city.
Unrivaled Medicine God
"Ye Yuan prevented the entire Southern Domain's decline with his strength alone!? What a godly achievement!"
Hearing Mo Yuntian's narration, Skymaple gave a heartfelt gasp of admiration.
He knew that Ye Yuan's talent was immensely high. But he did not think that it was actually high to such an extent.
When Skymaple and they all were imprisoned by the Purple Mansion Sect, each one of them thought that the Southern Domain was completely finished.
Who knew that paths wound along mountain ridges, and things took a turn for the better. A Crystal Formation Realm Ye Yuan could actually force back the Purple Mansion Sect three times successively!
"Yeah. If not for witnessing it with my own eyes, I wouldn't dare to believe it at all." Mo Yuntian himself was overcome with emotions too.
At this time, Skymaple's face suddenly changed, and he said, "Yuntian, why . . . don't I see Tian Yu?"
His voice had yet to fade when Tian Yu suddenly appeared here and said agitatedly, "Grandpa!"
Ye Yuan blow was not heavy. Tian Yu just happened to wake up in this short while. Hearing that Ye Yuan rescued everybody, he sprinted madly all the way over here.
Seeing Skymaple, Tian Yu was unbelievably agitated and actually shed tears.
When Skymaple saw Tian Yu, tears similarly coursed down his old face.
These days, Skymaple thought that Tian Yu perished in the mystic realm, and his entire person was awfully haggard.
Now, seeing his grandson returned safe and sound, it untied the knot in his heart.
By the side, Luo Qingfeng, the sect's upper echelons, as well as the disciples, could not help tearing when they saw this scene.
This period of time, everyone's inner heart was extremely anguished.
The sect was destroyed. These people were all shouldering a tremendous psychological burden.
Right after they returned to the Tranquil Cloud Sect, they survived a calamity. They could at least guarantee that the sect's teachings would not be wiped out.
Luo Qingfeng and the rest heaved a long sigh of relief in their hearts.
After the small talk, Skymaple pulled Tian Yu over and sized him up carefully. The smile on his face gradually became astonishment.
Skymaple discovered that Tian Yu's eyes emitted radiance. Tian Yu standing there was just like a still sheathed sharp sword, seemingly vastly different from before!
"Tian Yu, you . . ." Skymaple said in surprise.
Tian Yu smiled blushingly; he could not quite blow his own trumpet. But Mo Yuntian said with a smile, "Grand Elder, Sect Master, Tian Yu has already comprehended a true intent. Our Tranquil Cloud Sect has hopes for revival!"
Skymaple and Luo Qingfeng's gaze turned intent as they looked at Tian Yu disbelievingly.
"Tian Yu, is what your Senior Apprentice Brother Mo said true?" Skymaple said in shock.
Tian Yu nodded with a smile. Skymaple and Luo Qingfeng exchanged a glance, the shock gradually becoming a pleasant surprise.
"Hahaha! Good! Good! Good! Truly, the heaven hasn't forsaken my Tranquil Cloud Sect! To think that my Tranquil Cloud Sect could beget fortune from a disaster and actually let Little Yu comprehend a true intent! Heaven has really opened its eyes!"
Skymaple said good three times in a row. It could be seen how elated he was in his heart.
Tranquil Cloud Sect produced a junior who had comprehended a true intent. And this junior was even his lineal grandson!
"Grand Elder misspoke about this. This has nothing to do with the heaven at all. I could comprehend a true intent entirely because of Ye Yuan!" Tian Yu said with a smile.
Skymaple and the rest were stunned and could not help being curious.
Why was it Ye Yuan again?
Tian Yu recounted the incident of Ye Yuan engraving sword characters, leaving Skymaple and the rest speechless for a long time.
. . . . . .
Fierce Gale World, the depths of the Central Capital's royal palace.
A martial artist dressed in a black robe sat on the throne, while another person was prostrated before him.
If there were people here, their jaws would surely hit the ground in shock.
The exalted Wind Emperor, Zhao Tianyin, was actually kneeling in front of this man!
"Zhao Tianyin, you've really disappointed This Seat greatly!" The black-robed man's voice reverberated throughout the royal palace, giving people a very unreal sensation.
The unparalleled, overbearing Zhao Tianyin was just like an obedient kitten at this time.
Hearing the black-robed man's words, Zhao Tianyin's forehead sweat profusely as he said with profound respect and trepidation, "Lord Holy Envoy, please calm your fury! That Six Extreme Seals Grand Array is seriously too powerful. Even when the base of the formation is wrecked, it's also very hard to link the realm passageway!"
The black-robed man said with a cold smile, "How can the array formation left behind by the Grand Yan Divine King be what you, a puny little Boundless Realm, can perceive? Fortunately, his descendants were all some useless people. Or else, you all wouldn't even know how you died! But I don't want to listen to reasons. If you delay the matter, and the higher-ups lay down the blame, Shangguan Wuhui's outcome, you're aware of it!"
Hearing these words, Zhao Tianyun involuntarily shuddered, sweat dripping like rain.
"Lord Holy Envoy, please rest assured. I'll set off right away to personally make a move to link together the realm passageway. However . . ."
"Talk quickly if you have something to say! Don't mince your words!" said the black-robed man with a cold grunt.
"Yes, yes. It's like this, a woman with extremely formidable strength came from the Endless World. Subordinate . . . Subordinate isn't her match."
Zhao Tianyin recounted the events on that day falteringly. But the black-robed man fell silent after hearing it.
The black-robed man did not speak. Zhao Tianyin did not dare to interject either. He just kneeled there, waiting quietly for the black-robed man.
After a long while, the black-robed man suddenly opened his mouth to say, "You're saying that that girl knows ocular arts? She just gave you a glance, and you got controlled by her?"
"Yes. Subordinate dare not deceive Holy Envoy. There are still other people who know about that day's event."
"Okay. What you said, I got it all. I'll think of ways to resolve this matter. Everything carries on according to the original plan! If it delays again, you know the consequences! Also, you don't go and provoke the Alchemist Association. So long as they don't affect our plans, let them be," said the black-robed man with a cold grunt.
"Yes. Subordinate will definitely do all I can to accomplish the task that Holy Envoy instructed!" Zhao Tianyin said.
"Humph! I hope so! Alright, it's inappropriate for me to stay for long in this place. All the best to you!"
As he said, the black-robed man got up. A light door actually appeared in front of him.
The black-robed man stepped forward and entered, vanishing completely.
Seeing the black-robed man disappear, only then, did Zhao Tianyun heave a long sigh in relief. He discovered that it was as if he was hauled out of water, completely drenched thoroughly.
Zhao Tianyin's gaze looked towards the vacant space area. It was also uncertain what he was thinking about.
Only after a long while, did he grit his teeth and said, "Shangguan Wuhui, oh Shangguan Wuhui! You're bringing a wolf into the house here! They raised the Fierce Gale World to a middle-order small world, but we became their dogs! No way! I mustn't follow in Shangguan Wuhui's footsteps!"
The Wind Emperor was always high and lofty in front of everybody. Who would have thought that he could actually have such a side.
Furthermore, most likely, nobody would have thought that the previous Wind Emperor, Shangguan Wuhui, did not ascend to the Divine Realm. Instead, he was obliterated by this mysterious organization!
And the present Zhao Tianyin was stepping onto the same path as Shangguan Wuhui once more!
. . . . . .
Three days later, Ye Yuan finally walked out of the secret chamber. Skymaple, Luo Qingfeng, and the rest, were waiting outside since long ago.
"Grand Elder, Sect Master Luo, Hall Head Xiao, long time no see!" Seeing these people, Ye Yuan was also quite overcome with emotion.
Skymaple and the rest exchanged glances, and they actually bowed down towards Ye Yuan at the same time!
Ye Yuan hurriedly support Skymaple and said, "Grand Elder, Sect Master Luo, why are you all doing this?"
Skymaple said with a sigh, "Ye Yuan, the Tranquil Cloud Sect could only preserve our Dao teachings from being annihilated by receiving your great grace. I, Skymaple, as the Tranquil Cloud Sect's Grand Elder, nearly caused the sect to be destroyed! I really can't think of how to thank you, so I can only come here to give you a bow!"
[0] In Chapter 338, the Fierce Gale World was supposed to be a high-order small world, while the Endless World was a middle-order small world. However, the author suddenly changed it. No freaking clue. Gonna translate as it is first.
Unrivaled Medicine God
Among the Southern Domain's Eight Great Sects, only the Purple Mansion Sect and the Tranquil Cloud Sect were left right now.
For the Tranquil Cloud Sect to be able to preserve their Dao teachings and preserve their sect from destruction, it could be said to be a miracle.
Ye Yuan did so many things for the sect, yet the sect practically did not seem to have anything to repay him with. This had to be said to be a very embarrassing thing.
Hence, Skymaple, Luo Qingfeng, and the rest discussed it, and finally still decided to come and give Ye Yuan a big bow, to express gratitude on behalf of the sect.
Ye Yuan said helplessly, "Grand Elder is killing Ye Yuan. I'm just a Tranquil Cloud Sect disciple. Since entering the sect, I've received the various elders' and fellow apprentices' care. How can I look on unconcernedly by the side when the sect is in trouble? This matter ends here. Grand Elder mustn't mention it again!"
Reaching the end, Ye Yuan's tone became a little heavy, and he revealed some unhappiness.
When Skymaple and the rest saw his reaction, their hearts all felt a chill.
The power emitted from Ye Yuan's body actually left them at a loss on what to do.
Only now did Skymaple suddenly discover that this young man before him had already unknowingly grown into a great towering tree, and he could shelter the sect from the wind and rain.
In the past, Ye Yuan was just an immensely talented junior disciple in their eyes. His future was bright, but his strength was a little lacking.
But seeing Ye Yuan again today, Skymaple and Luo Qingfeng discovered to their shock that the aura on Ye Yuan's body was actually not much weaker than theirs anymore.
Especially Xiao Jian and Ling Potian, their thoughts and feelings were the most profound. Because that instance just now, they actually had a palpitating feeling.
This made them realize that they could very well not be Ye Yuan's match already!
Recalling back when Ye Yuan had just entered the sect, the two of them really had a feeling like they were dreaming."Alright, alright, we won't mention it! Ye Yuan, in your view, facing the Fierce Gale World's invasion, what should we do?"
Skymaple also realized the awkwardness and hastily switched the topic.
Ye Yuan did not reply straight away. He invited them into the hidden chamber, before saying words that astonished everyone.
"The Southern Domain can't be defended. While the realm passageway has yet to link together fully, we should take advantage and move the entire sect to the north," Ye Yuan said coolly.
"What? Move the entire sect move? But . . ." Xiao Jian was taken aback in fright by Ye Yuan's words.
The Tranquil Cloud Sect fought off the Purple Mansion Sect's great armies thrice consecutively and barely managed to guard a piece of holy land. Now, they actually had to discard it!
Although Xiao Jian and the rest's ideals were to return to the Northern Domain, they grew up in the Southern Domain after all. Suddenly hearing this news, they still felt somewhat acclimatized.
"Hall Head Xiao, don't make a fuss over nothing. Listen to Ye Yuan is going to say till the end." Luo Qingfeng was much more composed as he voiced out to reproach Xiao Jian.
Ye Yuan said with a smile, "The Tranquil Cloud Sect is already a lone island. Once there are Divine Traversing Realm experts appearing, the Tranquil Cloud Sect will be the first to bear the brunt. The Yin-Yang Turbid Heaven Grand Array is only a Quasi-Tier 5 grand array. It can't withstand the attacks of a Divine Traversing Realm powerhouse."
"But . . . since that's the case, why didn't Ye Yuan you move north earlier? Why did you persist on holding fast to this land?" Luo Qingfeng opened his mouth to ask.
"Those Northern Domain's major powers most likely still don't know the Purple Mansion Sect's origin and think that the Southern Domain's great change was just the Endless World's internal affairs. The Fierce Gale World has been blocking off the news the entire time. The goal also lied here. It's already late for the Northern Domain to prepare now. If the Purple Mansion Sect rules the Southern Domain and lays down a solid foundation for the Fierce Gale World's invasion, the Northern Domain will be caught even more unprepared. At that time, with the Fierce Gale World using the Southern Domain as a springboard, the Endless World most likely wouldn't even have the strength for a single battle. Furthermore . . . Grand Elder, Sect Master Luo, and the rest of you all were still in the Purple Mansion Sect's hands. How could we move north without careful consideration?" Ye Yuan explained.
It was hard to leave one's homeland. Moreover, Skymaple and the rest still did not have a clear understanding of the Fierce Gale World's might.
Hearing Ye Yuan's words, they still said rather hesitatingly, "Didn't you send Mei Zhen to the Northern Domain? When they get the news, they should attack in retaliation right away, no? Our Endless World is rich in resources. In terms of strength, we shouldn't lose to the Fierce Gale World martial artists, right?"
Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Although the Fierce Gale World is scarce in resources, the martial artists' combat strength is extremely powerful! Same-rank martial artists, the Endless World might not be their match . . ."
Ye Yuan picked out a few of the important information and knowledge from the Fierce Gale World for Skymaple they all to listen, including the matter of the Grand Yan True Sect sacrificing the entire sect's six sovereign level powerhouses back then to lay down the Six Extreme Seals Grand Array.
After listening finish, the facial expressions of Skymaple and the rest became grave.
Moreover, the Fierce Gale World's most thorny entity was still the Wind Emperor, Zhao Tianyin, after all!
"Actually, I don't hold much confidence in Elder Mei to be able to convince those Northern Domain's heavyweights. That's why counting on them to pull the Purple Mansion Sect up by the roots is simply impossible. The best situation right now is also just the two worlds' martial artists confronting each other with the endless forest in-between," Ye Yuan said.
Only then, did Skymaple and the rest realize the jeopardy of the situation. They exchanged glances, and Skymaple said, "Alright then. Ye Yuan, we'll listen to you completely!"
Ye Yuan did not decline, saying with a nod, "Okay. I estimate that the realm passageway linking together is just a matter of this half a month too. We should make preparations early. Hall Head Xiao, these few days, you should bring a batch of people and set off first to be the advance party for the sect's retreat. The Northern Domain's territories are all places with owners. Some conflicts are bound to be unavoidable when we migrate the whole sect. Hall Head Xiao, after you go, don't pick those places rich in essence energy. The top priority is to find a place to settle down. Also, there is a need to send some people to find that batch of people from before."
Towards Ye Yuan's tone that carried a slightly commanding style, the few people did not say much.
Ye Yuan had this qualification now.
Most importantly, they all knew that Ye Yuan would not harm the Tranquil Cloud Sect.
Xiao Jian nodded and said, "Okay. I'll go and pick a batch of disciples right away and set off these two days."
Ye Yuan said to Luo Qingfeng, "The other matters will have to trouble Sect Master Luo."
Luo Qingfeng nodded and said, "Alright. I'll go and handle them right away."
Everyone was just about to leave when a disciple came forward to report in a slightly excited manner, "Grand Elder, Sect Master, Senior Apprentice Brother Ye, news bearers came from the Northern Domain!"
The eyes of Skymaple and the rest all lit up as they said excitedly, "Oh? Who came? Quickly bring us to meet them!"
But Ye Yuan's gaze flickered and did not seem to be interested in this.
To Ye Yuan, he never placed hopes on those Northern Domain sects.
In the world of martial artists, relying on others was pointless. Only one's own strength being formidable could preserve oneself.
But the Northern Domain reacting so swiftly had indeed exceeded Ye Yuan's expectations.
"Hang on!" Skymaple and the rest were just in a hurry to leave when they were halted by Ye Yuan.
"What is it, Ye Yuan? A messenger came from the Northern Domain. It probably isn't nice to neglect them, right?" Luo Qingfeng said.
But Ye Yuan did not answer, asking that disciple instead, "Did Elder Mei come back together with him?"
That disciple was stunned, shook his head, and said, "No. Didn't see Elder Mei. A total of three people came, saying that they are the Northern Domain's Myriad Sword Sect's disciples!" Hearing this name, everybody's faces including Tian Yu's, all changed.
