“Big Brother Hu Yan, I . . .”
After a round of words, Hu Rong and the rest all condemned themselves deeply.
When Ye Yuan saw this scene, he could not help sneering coldly in his heart.
This fellow’s methods to win people’s hearts was unexpectedly impressive.
It was just that Hu Yan’s words, Ye Yuan would not believe even if he was beaten to death.
It might be true that Hu Yan got inflicted by the poison. But it was definitely not as severe as imagined.
The prowess of the Traceless Soul Poison, Ye Yuan was perfectly clear. Even if Hu Yan were a Tier 6 powerhouse, if he were poisoned thoroughly, he would not be able to hold on either.
Spending four years living in darkness without light, these words could only hoodwink Hu Rong, these naive rookies.
The only explanation was that Hu Yan was not poisoned deeply. Even though small quantities of Traceless Soul Poison was powerful, Hu Yan advancing a step further because of this turning point was instead something that happened without extra effort.
If it were really like he had said, Hu Yan would have croaked long ago!
But Ye Yuan did not plan on exposing Hu Yan. Because he knew that this was without meaning at all.
This sowing of discord that he used just now, the goal was just to take a look at Hu Yan’s character.
As expected, very hypocritical!
“No matter. You guys have already done well enough! Your hard work these few years, I’ve taken it all into sight. Really, thank everybody so much. Alright, this isn’t the place to talk. Let’s talk again after returning to the clan.”
As Hu Yan said, he was just about to go collect the Azure Spirit Tree.
But Ye Yuan yelled out untimely, “Clan Head Hu Yan is really not courteous! Hu Rong and I had an agreement long ago. This Azure Spirit Tree belongs to me. Don’t tell me that you don’t know this arrangement!”
Chapter 673. Entangled in One's Own Web |
A single sentence, and the atmosphere which had just eased up immediately became dangerously explosive again.
Ye Yuan’s words could be said to be touching the sore spot.
It was just that to Ye Yuan, the Azure Spirit Tree was Yue Mengli’s life-saving item. He was hell-bent on it!
Hearing Ye Yuan’s words, Hu Yan’s expression turned cold.
“Young man, I’ve already given you a way out. Are you rejecting face when it’s given here?” Hu Yan said in a cold voice.
Ye Yuan said with a cold smile, “Heh, given me a way out? Clan Head Hu Yan’s meaning is to renege on the agreement?”
“So what if reneging on the agreement? Hu Rong isn’t the clan head either. His agreement with you naturally doesn’t count! Furthermore, the time and manpower that my Darkfiend Tiger Clan expended for the Azure Spirit Tree are already incalculable. What right do you have to demand for the Azure Spirit Tree?”
By the side, White Light seriously could not carry on listening. He reproached, “Hu Yan, you’re really shameless enough! I’ll tell you what right my big brother has to dare ask for the Azure Spirit Tree! Without my big brother taking action, forget that you prepared for ten years, even if you prepared for a hundred years, you could forget about subduing the Azure Spirit Tree too!”
One sentence, said until Hu Yan was rendered speechless.
He dared to extort the Azure Spirit Tree was still relying on that his strength was powerful in the end, and he felt that Ye Yuan did not dare to make a sound.
Yet, once Ye Yuan made a sound, any reason of his had no footing.
The reason was just as White Light said. This Azure Spirit Tree was subdued by Ye Yuan. It did not have any relation to do with his Darkfiend Tiger Clan at all!
Even Hu Rong, the few of them, were merely just supporting roles too.
Hu Yan pulled a long face and said, “Tiger Lord, don’t forget about your identity!”
The undertone meaning Hu Yan wanted to express in his words was that: you’re a member of the tiger clan. Why are you helping outsiders?
It was just that White Light’s words just now were already said very nastily. Hu Yan could not very well say bluntly.
Who knew that White Light suddenly flashed a bright smile and said, “I didn’t forget my identity. I’m my big brother’s good brother! This point will never change till the end of my life!”
It was true that White Light was from the tiger race. But at his lowest, when he needed help the most, where was the tiger race?
If not for Ye Yuan, he would have long become the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python’s meal in its abdomen. How could there still be this powerful divine beast progeny, White Light, today?
It could be said that everything of White Light’s today was all given by Ye Yuan and not the tiger race!
These few years, White Light and Ye Yuan depended on each other for survival. He had long treated him as his own kin.
Forget that the Darkfiend Tiger Clan was just a lesser race with thin bloodline, even if the true white tiger race were here, White Light would also choose to stand on Ye Yuan’s side without any hesitation.
Hu Yan’s expression became increasingly ugly. White Light’s actions were no different from betrayal in his view.
“Good! Very good! Want the Azure Spirit Tree is it? It’s right here. If you have the capabilities, you guys take it back yourselves!” Hu Yan said with a sneer.
Finishing off Peng Tian, forget about this stretch of spirit vein, even in the entire Dongming Region, nobody was his match either.
These two brats in front of him who were still wet behind their ears. Could it be that they could still overturn the heavens?
“Huhu, are you going to carry on being shameless all the way here?” Ye Yuan said with a light laugh.
At this time, both parties clearly did not have the possibility of reconciling already.
The Azure Spirit Tree, both parties were determined to get it.
“The Azure Spirit Tree was originally my tiger clan’s item. Where’s the talk about being shameless?! Heaven and earth spiritual objects, fated ones get them. If you’re fated with him, you can very well bring it away!”
Hu Yan had a mocking look. Clearly, he did not feel that Ye Yuan had this capability.
It was true that Ye Yuan could deal with the Azure Spirit Tree. But that was just a special case. If the opponent changed to him, Hu Yan, Ye Yuan absolutely had no chances of victory.
If a peak Tier 6 demon could not even beat a Tier 4 brat, he could immediately find a piece of tofu to commit suicide with.
Ye Yuan nodded his head as if approving of Hu Yan’s words. Who knew that he changed the topic, “On account of White Light’s face, I’ve already been tolerating enough of your Darkfiend Tiger Clan. Civil means before resorting to force. Since you guys don’t know how to appreciate favors, then it can’t be blamed on me either.”
Hu Yan could not refrain from bursting into laughter when he heard these words, “Shameless boasting! What qualifications do you have to say civil means before resorting to force in front of me? What a joke!”
Ye Yuan said with a half-smile, “I’ll tell you right away what qualifications I have to put civil means before resorting to force!”
Ye Yuan’s voice had just faded when an intense tremor suddenly came from under Hu Yan’s foot. Hu Yan’s expression changed abruptly, directly fleeing far away.
Yet, how could Ye Yuan give him this chance? His Origin Magnetic Field was unleashed instantly!
The effect of Ye Yuan’s Origin Magnetic Field was next to nothing to peak Tier 6 powerhouses. If it was during an actual battle, it could be ignored entirely.
However, when two peak Tier 6 experts were facing off, this tiny bit of effect might even have the possibility of becoming the last straw that crushed the camel’s back.
Previously, Peng Tian falling prey to a plot, fell for this!
Under Ye Yuan’s Heart Like Monolith heart realm. His grasp regarding timing could be said to be
accurate to the pinnacle.
Bang!
Countless vines broke out of the earth from beneath the ground and intertwined over towards Hu Yan and Hu Rong they all frenziedly.
This came too suddenly. Hu Rong they all completely did not expect that the Azure Spirit Tree which was restrained would actually attack once more. Their reactions were a little slow and were bounded up tightly by those innumerable vines instantaneously.
While Hu Yan was just that little bit sluggish, and both his feet got wrapped around by a vine.
But Hu Yan’s reaction was also exceedingly quick. He directly chopped off the vine with a palm-hand and fled towards the distance.
Hu Yan was floating on air when a strange kind of feeling suddenly came from within his body.
This sort of feeling, he was very familiar. What could it be if not the Traceless Soul Poison?
The time was very short. He was not poisoned deeply; much lighter than even the last time he got poisoned.
But being poisoned at this time right now was clearly not any good omen.
The might of the Azure Spirit Tree, he had experienced profoundly. Being accidentally poisoned again, his chances of winning became even bleaker.
It was just that he could not figure it out no matter. The Azure Spirit Tree’s main body was clearly restrained by Ye Yuan. How did he break free?
He already confirmed it earlier. The Azure Spirit Tree’s wood essence power had indeed stopped circulating. Logically speaking, he could not possibly attack again.
What was this?
Hu Yan looked towards Ye Yuan with a loathing gaze.
Although he did not know what trick this punk used, without a doubt, it was him playing tricks!
Once the Azure Spirit Tree broke free, Hu Yan did not have assurance in dealing with him at all. If he had that capability, how could he possibly wait until now?
“Boy, consider yourself ruthless! Hope that you don’t land in my hands! We’ll meet again another day!”
As he said, Hu Yan’s figure moved and was going to escape far away.
Ye Yuan watched his back view, a hint of a cold sneer flashed across the corners of his mouth.
Hu Yan’s figure did not escape out very far when a powerful flame force attacked straight towards him.
Hu Yan’s expression changed, and he hurriedly dodged.
“What’s the matter? The clan member presiding over the grand array was already killed by Peng Tian. Who’s controlling the grand array to stop me?” Hu Yan’s expression became very ugly.
“Clan Head Hu Yan, what’s the hurry to leave for? There’s still an old friend here wanting to catch up with you!” Ye Yuan caught up at this time too, saying to Hu Yan with a smile.
And behind Ye Yuan, apart from White Light, there was youth wearing azure colored shirt standing there. No one knew since when he was there.
Chapter 674. Deceiving Everyone |
How could Hu Yan expect that the grand array which the tiger clan set up for ten years actually became his stumbling block?!
Speaking of which, this was really a situation where a person was getting entangled in one’s own web.
The Wood Spirit Dragon Imprisoning Array was a kind of trapping formation. Trapping formations’ lethality was not great. But under the situation where there were people managing the grand array, wanting to shake off the grand array within a short time was very difficult.
Around Ye Yuan were all a bunch of Tier 6 experts. How could he possibly not hold some trick in reserve? He did not have the habit of handing his own fate over to other people’s hands.
As far back as when he entered the grand array, he already controlled the Wood Spirit Dragon Imprisoning Array in secret. It was just that he did not launch it all along.
Hence, even if Hu Yan did not appear, Ye Yuan had ample confidence to escape too.
For this grand array to want to kill Peng Tian was naturally not easy. But under Ye Yuan’s control, for Peng Tian to want to escape was also hard.
But at this time, Hu Yan’s attention was not placed on Ye Yuan but placed on that azure shirt youth behind him. His expression was indescribably ugly.
“I didn’t think that the Azure Spirit Tree actually gave birth to a primordial spirit!” Hu Yan said word by word.
The old friend Ye Yuan talked about was naturally this azure shirt youth.
And this azure shirt youth was transformed by none other than precisely the Azure Spirit Tree!
Even Hu Yan also did not expect that the Azure Spirit Tree had actually cultivated out a primordial spirit already and was able to take human form!
This unforeseen event was what he did not anticipate from start to end.
Cultivating out a primordial spirit meant that the Azure Spirit Tree’s intelligence did not lose to humans already.
He was originally a heaven and earth spirit wood, with strength far surpassing same ranks. Now that he had intelligence that did not lose to humans, he was even harder to deal with.
The gaze that the azure shirt youth looked at Hu Yan with were very unfriendly. Back then, his strength was not as strong as now. It was even slightly inferior to Hu Yan’s.
If not for him relying on his own powerful Traceless Soul Poison, he would probably have been captured by Hu Yan long ago.
Even so, the Azure Spirit Tree also cultivated for a very long time on this stretch of spirit vein before recovering.
This grudge between the two people was a big one.
“You, this stinking old tiger. Let’s settle this score properly today!” the Azure Spirit Tree said candidly.
Hu Yan’s expression was rather ugly. He was very fearful of the Azure Spirit Tree. Seeing his hostile look at this time, it was clearly unable to be reconciled today.
“This . . . Azure Spirit Tree, it was all a misunderstanding between us! Back then, even though I almost caught you, I also nearly perished, my Dao dispersed because of the incident too, isn’t it so? You should know, you’re a heaven and earth spirit wood. Moreover, you have a tremendous effect on us demons breaking through to Tier 7. So the people hankering after you isn’t just me alone. That Peng Tian, wasn’t he like that too? Don’t get hoodwinked by this brat!”
Hu Yan explained as he wanted to redirect the troubled waters, pointing the spearhead at Ye Yuan.
He knew that this sort of situation appearing today, they definitely could not dispensed with Ye Yuan’s doing in-between. But to talk about a glib tongue, he was confident that he was not lousy either.
Furthermore, even though the Azure Spirit Tree gave birth to a primordial spirit, the time was definitely not long. At the very most, it was equivalent to a human teenage youth; very easy to bluff.
Ye Yuan could deceive the Azure Spirit Tree. He definitely could too.
Indeed, once the Azure Spirit Tree heard, he could not help turning his head towards Ye Yuan and asked, “Ye Yuan, did you hear that? He says that you’re bluffing me.”
The moment Hu Yan heard that there was a chance, he immediately added embellishment, “Yeah, he must be bluffing you! He’s a human! Humans are much craftier than our demon race! Furthermore, compared to me, he has the strength to threaten you! He wants to make use of you to deal with me right now, then deal with you later! Do you feel that a human can resist the allure of the Azure Spirit Tree? His final goal is definitely still you!”
The Azure Spirit Tree looked at Ye Yuan and asked, “Ye Yuan, he said that you’re making use of me!”
Hu Yan originally thought that Ye Yuan would deny it outright. He already prepared a whole bunch of incisive words to vilify Ye Yuan.
Who knew that Ye Yuan just flashed a brilliant smile and admitted it very scoundrelly, “Haha! Saying it like that isn’t wrong too. I indeed can’t beat him, so I can only rely on you.”
Hu Yan was stunned. His stomach full of words had no place to showcase its skill for a moment and nearly stifled out internal injuries.
But Hu Yan recovered very quickly and said with an excited
look, “You hear, he admitted it himself! Humans, there aren’t any good ones!”
The Azure Spirit Tree did not take notice of Hu Yan. Looking at Ye Yuan without paying heed to other things, he said, “Ye Yuan, why do you think there’s such a dumb old tiger?”
Ye Yuan said laughingly, “Some fellows just like to fancy themselves clever. But you should be a little understanding too. After all, when death is at hand, one would always jump around a little.”
The Azure Spirit Tree nodded his head, seemingly approving of Ye Yuan’s words very much, and said, “Alright then. I really can’t understand. He himself is dumb, and even thinks that the entire world is as foolish as him.”
Hu Yan still had an excited look just now. But as he listened, it felt amiss.
These two people were totally making a fool out of him!
He talked for so long, and the Azure Spirit Tree did not even listen to a word?
But why?
Hu Yan was certain that this was the Azure Spirit Tree’s first time meeting Ye Yuan. On what basis did he trust Ye Yuan so much and feel that Ye Yuan would not be detrimental to him?
“Alright. The nonsense has already been said enough. I can send you on your way now!” the Azure Spirit Tree said coolly.
Hu Yan still did not give up hope and yelled loudly to the Azure Spirit Tree, “This boy is clearly harboring ill intentions! Why do you trust him so?”
The Azure Spirit Tree rolled his eyes and said to him, “I’ve already drawn up a divine soul agreement with Ye Yuan. Stop wasting your energy in vain.”
Hu Yan’s pupils constricted when he heard that, revealing a disbelieving expression. He had been lying in concealment all along nearby and took all of Ye Yuan’s actions into his sights.
But Ye Yuan actually completed a divine soul contract with the Azure Spirit Tree under his eyes? How was this possible?
Hu Yan obviously did not know that right from the first glance Ye Yuan saw the Azure Spirit Tree, he knew that he already gave birth to a primordial spirit.
