Adding in the strength of a true dragon, Ye Yuan leaping realms to challenge Nalan Hong was actually as a matter of course!
“Are you ready? I’m coming!”
Although this punch snapped the longsword, Nalan Hong was completely unscathed. But regarding triumphing over Nalan Hong, Ye Yuan was brimming with confidence.
“Wait a minute! I concede!”
Ye Yuan was just about to move when Nalan Hong actually admitted defeat directly. =
Chapter 816. Domineering Succession! |
Even though Ye Yuan’s physical body was daunting, to talk about defeating Nalan Hong, it would probably still needed to take some effort.
But he did not expect that Nalan Hong actually directly admitted defeat.
“The sword breaking is akin to the person breaking! There’s no need to compete anymore!” Nalan Hong said depressingly.
The sensational great battle that everyone had high hopes of actually lowered the curtains in this one round, making everyone’s jaws hit the ground.
Ye Yuan snapped a profound artifact with one punch. Everyone no longer doubted his strength!
Ye Yuan inheriting this position of the young lord was reputation following merit!
A Boundless Realm martial artist could cross a major cultivation realm to defeat the head of the Seven Holy Sons. What else could be called into question?
“Young Lord is mighty!”
“Young Lord is mighty!”
“Long live Young Lord Ye Yuan!
In the crowd, ardent shouting gradually erupted. In the end, it actually integrated as one!
Very clearly, Ye Yuan used his strength to conquer all the people present.
If there were still people harboring suspicions about Ye Yuan succeeding the position of young lord previously, everyone was giving unswerving support towards this decision of Holy Lord’s at this time.
In the end, this was a world where the strong reigned supreme!
Ye Yuan’s potential was put there. Given time, Ye Yuan would become an existence more powerful than the Holy Lord.
Only this kind of powerhouse could lead the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land to head towards being powerful.
The Holy Land’s decline, as well as Tu You’s endless seclusions, already gradually made everyone lose faith in the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land. Quite a number of people had started panicking.
This sort of feeling was not only present among the ten great elders, but it was also already like a plague, propagating in everyone’s hearts.
They were terrified inwardly, being scared that maybe someday, they would become destitute and homeless.
Once this kind of fear erupts, it would cause the entire Crimson Afterglow Holy Land to fall apart into pieces.
But through this battle, Ye Yuan injected everyone with a cardiac tonic!
They all took Ye Yuan’s talent into their sights. As long as he grew up, the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land would radiate in splendor in the White Valiant Region anew!
Without any doubt, Ye Yuan already won everyone’s support!
At this time, the ten great elders who originally harbored suspicions in their hearts lowered their banners and muffled the drums too, tacitly acknowledging the fact of Ye Yuan succeeding as young lord.
Even Wu Siyuan shut his mouth up sensibly too.
But the feelings of excitement on Chen Qin’s face could not be concealed at all.
He never would have thought that Ye Yuan’s strength would actually be daunting to such an extent.
Looks like the Holy Lord’s eyes were indeed keen!
Ye Yuan did a hand gesture to make everyone quiet down. Very quickly, the entire plaza became silent.
“I know that everybody is harboring suspicions in their hearts about the Holy Lord’s seclusion. But everyone, please think about it, if something really happened to the holy lord, who sent us into the Crimson Afterglow Valley? Why did he dare to increase the slots to enter the Crimson Afterglow Valley as well? Holy Lord’s condition is much better than you all can imagine! Everybody’s not thinking it over. How can the Second Level Dao Profound Realm be that easy to break through? Through so many years of seclusion, the Holy Lord, he has already had some gains. That’s why he chose to enter closed-seclusion without hesitation! After all, to the Holy Land, his strength is the benchmark to determine the Holy Land’s position! Right or not, everyone?” Ye Yuan spoke with confidence and composure.
“Yeah, why am I so stupid? Didn’t even think of this!”
“Holy Lord secluding for many years, isn’t it still in order to take the Holy Land into consideration? We actually doubted him. We really shouldn’t have!”
“Young Lord, we support you!”
The human heart was a very abstruse thing. Sometimes, it was very easy to be bewitched.
What they needed was only a psychological assurance.
Under Ye Yuan’s deliberate guidance, he first conquered the minds of a portion of the people, and the discussions between them infected others very quickly too.
Of course, this sort of guidance was established on the basis of Ye Yuan’s powerful strength.
He used his strength to make his words become convincing, that was why people chose to believe him.
To be able to select such a daunting young lord, how could the Holy Lord’s condition possibly be poor?
“The Holy Lord is in closed-seclusion to assault the Second Level Dao Profound and neglected the management of the Holy Land’s matters. That’s how it made everybody give rise to some thoughts that shouldn’t be there! Therefore, that’s why he selected a young lord to reassure the hearts of people and preside over the overall situation! This Ye is incompetent and received Holy Lord’s care unduly to take on this huge responsibility. I hope that everybody can offer your kind support!”
Ye Yuan’s words were logical and well-grounded, sounding perfectly reasonable and fair, which dispelled the suspicions in everyone’s hearts even more.
Cries of bravo sounded up beneath the stage. Each and everyone all expressed support towards Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan continued, “Since everyone chooses to believe this Ye, then this Ye won’t decline to shoulder the responsibility, taking on this position of young lord! But this Ye will say the nasty stuff first. If there’s still anyone who dares to intentionally spread lies and vilify the Holy Lord, I, Ye Yuan, will be the first one to not forgive him! This Ye’s methods, I believe everyone has not witnessed before yet. If anybody wishes to have a look at this Ye’s methods, feel free to come and give it a try!”
While talking, Ye Yuan’s gaze carelessly swept towards Wu Siyuan, the warning overtones unreserved.
Right then, a series of screams suddenly sounded out in the crowd.
A black-colored flood dragon soared into the air and circled around in the sky! It was precisely Blackwind!
At this time, Blackwind displayed his original body, and his body was actually a thousand feet long! It could be said to blot out the sky and cover the sun!
A powerful dragon pressure smothered the entire plaza, making people’s hearts palpitate.
“Roar!”
Apart from Chen Qin, those Phaseless Realm elders were all akin to facing a great enemy, and even thought that there were demonic beasts invading the holy land.
A flood dragon at the great circle of Phaseless Realm could virtually be said to be invincible in the same realm.
These Phaseless Realm elders below added up probably was not his match either.
“Everyone, there’s no need to panic. This black flood dragon is my servant. In the future, he will be the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land’s guardian divine beast!” Ye Yuan said with a clear voice.
Hearing this, the panic on everybody’s faces instantly became dumbfoundedness!
Was there a mistake?
A Boundless Realm martial artist actually took in a Tier 8 demonic beast as a servant?
Especially Wu Siyuan, the expression on his face was ugly to the extreme. At the s
ame time, he was also secretly somewhat rejoicing a little in his heart.
Luckily, Ye Yuan won today. If Ye Yuan lost, the first one to die would probably be him, Wu Siyuan.
With a divine beast descendant at the great circle of Tier 8 as a servant, Ye Yuan could totally do whatever he wanted in the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land!
Even Chen Qin, First Elder, was not this black flood dragon’s match either!
Blackwind’s appearance dispelled the last traces of everyone’s doubts.
With such a powerful supporter, who else dared to call into question his authority, this Young Lord?
“Blackwind, there is a deep pool in front of the holy hall. In the future, you’ll inhabit that place!” Ye Yuan instructed Blackwind.
“Yes, Master!” Blackwind spoke human language.
Finished talking, Blackwind turned into a black line, plunging into the deep pool in front of the holy hall directly.
At this time, the gazes that everyone looked at Ye Yuan with underwent a transformation once more.
Even though the position of the young lord was powerful, Ye Yuan’s strength was too low when all was said and done. The way many people saw it, the one presiding over matters was still First Elder.
But with Blackwind, Ye Yuan himself had the strength to govern the entire Holy Land!
Right then, First Elder Chen Qin and the other two holy hall elders suddenly got up and knelt down towards Ye Yuan and said, “Young Lord Ye, please lead the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land to flourish anew!”
Even First Elder submitted. What else could the rest still say?
Right away, everyone, including the ten great elders all knelt down. A swarm of momentous and tidal-like voices sounded out in the plaza: “Young Lord Ye, please lead the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land to flourish anew!”
Chapter 817. Striking Where It Hurts |
At the Profound Wind Holy Land, in the White Valiant Region.
An elderly man and a youth stood in the air, right overhead the Holy Land.
The youth carried a long wooden staff on his back, standing with his hands behind his back, his expression lofty.
“Young Master Tong, this place is the White Valiant Region’s boundary-line,” the elder said.
“En, this White Valiant Region is average in strength; virtually all of them here are Rank Nine Holy Lands. There’s no challenge for me at all!” the youth said in annoyance.
“In this one year, Young Master Tong’s strength made remarkable progress. Heaven and Earth Staff Art had been mastered 50% of in terms of level and skill. Given time, Young Master Tong will definitely be able to reach Master’s standard,” the elder said. 1
“Master said that the path of staff techniques doesn’t have shortcuts. There is only non-stop battle after battle. But in this one year, I really didn’t encounter many adversaries! Grandpa Sun, why not forget about this White Valiant Region. Let’s go to Rank Eight Holy Lands?”
“As per Master’s instructions, Young Master Tong still has half a year’s time before you can challenge Rank Eight Holy Lands’ geniuses. This old man dare not make the decision arbitrarily,” the old man said fearfully.
The youth pursed his mouth and said unhappily, “So troublesome! Recently, my staff technique is advancing slower and slower. I can’t find opponents in Rank Nine Holy Lands at all. What need is there still to carry on accumulating? Forget it, forget it. I also know that it’s hard on Grandpa Sun. I’ll just follow Master’s plan!”
When the youth saw the elderly man’s difficult look, he ultimately still did not continue being willful.
The old man smiled warmly. Only now did he set his mind at ease.
After half a day, there were wailing cries at the Profound Wind Holy Land.
“What kind of lousy Holy Land! The Young Lord’s strength is actually so weak! This kind of place can also be called a Holy Land? Sigh, Master’s rule is really troublesome. How many more of this kind of rookies do I have to fight with still?!” the youth put away the staff and said disdainfully.
The old man said with a smile, “Huhu, how many people can have Young Master Tong’s level of talent? Even Master praised Young Master Tong too, saying that when he was around your age, his accomplishments weren’t even as high as yours.”
The youth waved his hand and said, “Downright boring. Let’s go, Grandpa Sun, we still have to hurry onto the next Holy Land!”
Under the watchful eyes of the people, the one old man and one youth slowly left.
…
In the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land’s holy hall, Ye Yuan sat at the head-seat, while the Wu Family’s elder, Wu Siyuan, sat at a lower position.
“Young Lord Ye, previously, it was all Jiantong who didn’t know any better. A great man rarely stoops to pettiness. Don’t be angry with him anymore. I’ve already grounded him for a year, making him stay at home to cultivate in seclusion honestly. He isn’t permitted to go out and stir up trouble anymore!” Wu Siyuan said with an obsequious smile.
The expression on Wu Siyuan’s face even carried fawning, behaving completely different from before.
Ye Yuan maintained composure and said, “Elder Wu finding this Young Lord, I wonder what matter is it for?”
Wu Siyuan continued smiling flatteringly as he said, “Young Lord Ye is indeed a young genius, to actually be a rarely-seen alchemy-martial dual genius! Not only is Young Lord’s martial arts superb, I didn’t expect that you also have heaven-defying means in alchemy! Wu Siyuan feels that the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land is absolutely able to soar to the skies with one bound under young lord’s leadership! My Wu Family also firmly endorses Young Lord Ye!”
Ye Yuan chuckled inwardly. This fellow going round and round, wasn’t it still hoping for him to help refine medicinal pills for him?
Wu Jiantong had also reached the crucial period to break through to the Heaven Enlightenment Realm. A transcendent-grade Spirit Enlightening Pill was of utmost importance to him.
Ever since Ye Yuan inherited the position of the young lord, the Nalan Family and the Pei Family, these two great families, were the first to express support, making many shows of representations towards Ye Yuan openly and covertly.
But the Wu Family and several families on familiar terms did not have any movements for a long time.
Eight great families uniting together was generally not a force that could be ignored. They were waiting, waiting for Ye Yuan to take the initiative to go find them.
Furthermore, this period of time, these few families’ disciples in the holy hall were not very obedient either. The teams were very hard to lead.
Ye Yuan had Blackwind and First Elder, this kind of experts as supporters. It naturally would not do for the Wu Family, these few major families, to be forceful. Therefore, they changed to gentle.
Actually, Ye Yuan could understand their mentality too. Not that they were disloyal to the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land. They only wish to strive for greater benefits.
Them doing so was in order to let Ye Yuan know their importance and attach importance to them from there.
But what kind of person was Ye Yuan? How could he possibly submit obediently?
These few days, Ye Yuan refined quite a number of medicinal pills for the Nalan Family and the Pei Family who threw their lots with him. Furthermore, the moment he made his move, it was all transcendent-grade medicinal pills!
Before Alchemy Ancestor and Alchemy Saint, there was similarly the crossing from Middle Three Realms to Upper Three Realms. After breaking through, soul force had a qualitative leap.
Ye Yuan was currently a middle-rank Alchemy Ancestor, but his soul force was already comparable to an Alchemy Ancestor at the great circle of perfection.
It was just that such soul force still could not let him cross this enormous step to leap realms and refine Tier 7 medicinal pills.
But Ye Yuan felt that continuing to develop like this, when his divine soul broke through to high-rank Alchemy Ancestor, he absolutely would be able to ref
ine Tier 7 medicinal pills!
At the thought of this, Ye Yuan was faintly quite excited too.
This sort of heaven-defying soul force was absolutely only one of a kind in the Divine Realm!
These few days, Ye Yuan helped these two major families’ Boundless Realm geniuses refine quite a few extremely hard to refine Tier 6 medicinal pills. With this, Wu Siyuan could not sit still anymore as well.
With Wu Jiantong’s talent, he would definitely be able to reach the Seven Holy Sons’ height in the future.
Therefore, the more solid his foundation, the further he could walk in the future as well.
Very clearly, the Wu Family wished to heavily groom Wu Jiantong.
As luck would have it, Wu Jiantong offended Ye Yuan badly. Wu Siyuan was also adopting a wait-and-see attitude now and similarly offended Ye Yuan considerably.
Under such circumstances, how could Ye Yuan possibly take action to help them refine medicinal pills?
“Elder Wu, I think that you might have some misunderstanding? I, this Young Lord, was appointed by the Holy Lord. You don’t pledge loyalty to me, but you swear fealty to the Holy Lord! I, Ye Yuan, don’t seem to need you to make your stance clear,” Ye Yuan said coolly.
“H-Haha, Young Lord Ye must be jesting. The young lords have always inherited the position of the Holy Lord all along. Swearing fealty to Young Lord and swearing fealty to the Holy Lord, there isn’t any difference.” Wu Siyuan thickened his skin and said.
Ye Yuan said smilingly, “Saying it like this isn’t wrong either. En, alright then, I’m aware of Elder Wu’s loyalty already. I still have a lot of things to do here and won’t see Elder Wu off.”
Wu Siyuan panicked and hurriedly said, “Don’t go yet, Young Lord Ye! This old man … this old man apologizes to you!”
“Oh? Why does Elder Wu need to apologize to this young lord?” Ye Yuan said with a smile that wasn’t a smile.
“This old man shouldn’t have lost my mind and attempted to knead young lord! This old man shouldn’t have incited the various elders and attempted to change the laws. This old man … old man … sigh! I beg Young Lord Ye to raise your hand high in mercy and help Jiantong refine a transcendent-grade medicinal pill!” With this, Elder Wu yielded utterly.
