Ye Yuan walking along the way, one after another fiend race’s powerful existences were clearly intentionally let out by people.
Coupled with the Medicine King Hall’s change, the fiend race was probably scheming another counterattack to regain lost ground!
And this time, it was likely different from any one time in the past!
That time 50 thousand years ago, there was only one Heavenly Fiendgod. But this time, there was the additional Holy Mother Devil Flower and Jia Lan.
Once these fiends recovered strength, they absolutely did not pale the slightest in comparison to the Heavenly Fiendgod!
Where would the present human race go to find a second Fang Tian? Even the Ten Great Divine Kings likely could not reach Fang Tian’s level too.
Furthermore, what Ye Yuan was most apprehensive of was still that faction behind Ji Canglan!
Just how long had that faction been infesting in the Divine Realm, Ye Yuan did not dare to imagine at all.
The Vast Heaven Stone Stele found him. Now, the Evil Extermination Sword found him too, making the pressure on Ye Yuan’s shoulders suddenly become heavy.
Natural laws cycle, the great responsibility in this age may fall on him.
Hearing Ye Yuan’s words, the expressions of Sword Thirteen and the rest turned fearful.
Those two fiends were seriously too powerful. Such a horrifying slash of Evil Extermination was actually unable to kill them.
“Young Master Ji, rest assured. After returning this time, our Heavenly Sword Sect will officially declare war on the Medicine King Hall!” Sword Thirteen pledged solemnly.
“Our Heavenly Dawn Palace will also declare war on the Medicine King Hall right away!” Shu Yunqing said.
But Ye Yuan shook his head and said, “The Medicine King Hall being closed for 20 years, their present strength, we have no way of finding out. With my understanding of Ji Canglan, he probably won’t wait passively for the end. If we’re a pile of loose sand, we might suffer a huge loss instead, when the time comes.”
When the few people heard these words, they did not say anything on the surface, but in their hearts, they were very disdainful.
The Medicine King Hall’s strength at their prime could only rank in the middle among the Eight Great Super Holy Lands as well.
Now that Ji Zhangyang and Ji Qingyun, these two people were no longer around, how great could the Medicine King Hall’s strength be?
How many powerhouses could be created in 20 years’ time?
With two great super holy lands declaring war on them at the same time, the pressure on them would increase suddenly.
Even if they sought refuge from the fiend race, how many powerhouses could the fiend race groom in 20 years’ time?
Super holy lands’ powerhouses, the majority had a kind of fervent self-confidence.
Of course, one could not say that they were wrong to have this sort of fervent self-confidence. Because in normal understanding, they were that group of people standing at the very summit of the Divine Realm.
They controlled the direction of the entire Divine Realm.
Ye Yuan knew that this sort of perception could not be changed in a short time.
He thought about it and said, “How about this, after you two return, notify Sect Master Jian and Palace Lord Lin first. This Ye will head for the Holy Region within the next few days and inform those few old fellows about the fiend race’s matters, let them come forward and unite the other holy lands to launch an attack towards Ji Canglan together. At that time, he’ll be hard-pressed to escape even if he grew wings.”
Among the Eight Great Super Holy Lands, the Holy Region was one of the most powerful super holy lands.
Those few old-monster class powerhouses, each and every one of them was not at all inferior compared to the Ten Great Divine Kings.
The Divine Realm’s matters were normally each acting of their own free will. But everyone would still answer and gather under the Holy Region’s rallying call.
The state of affairs was so serious this time. Ye Yuan reckoned that those few old fellows should also be incapable of sitting still anymore.
As long as they eradicated Ji Canglan and dug out the faction behind them, then dragged the Holy Mother Devil Flower and Jia Lan in seriously injured conditions out, the crisis of the fiend race would be easily resolved.
“Alright, then we’ll have to trouble Young Master Ji to make a trip! When we eliminate Ji Canglan, I welcome Young Master Ji to come to my Heavenly Sword Sect to be a guest! I’ll take my leave here!”
Done talking, Sword Thirteen immediately left the Immemorial Medicine Garden.
“Young Master Ji don’t need to worry too much. That Ji Canglan throwing his lot with the fiend race has already infuriated public wrath, he absolutely won’t have a good end! Once this matter is over, Young Master Ji must come to my Heavenly Dawn Palace to be a guest and let this Shu carry out the hospitality of a host somewhat!”
Shu Yunqing and Ding Zhanguo greeted and also left.
Chapter 1079. Reverse-Checkmate |
Looking at the few people’s departing back view, Ye Yuan could not help shaking his head and smiling bitterly.
Seemed like Sword Thirteen and Sword Thirteen did not take his words in at all.
But a super holy land’s every movement and action was also not that easy. He needed to hurry and make a trip to the Holy Region.
With a bout of great battle, the entire Immemorial Medicine Garden was already in utter disarray.
Those few million-year-old medicine spirits had long run to god knows where. The matter of finding spirit medicines, Ye Yuan could only give up as well.
Two months had passed, the outside world still did not know what kind of accident happened. This trip to the Holy Region was best as soon as possible.
At Cloudmarsh City, inside the City Lord Manor, Old Man Han furrowed his brows when he finished hearing Ye Yuan giving an account of the Immemorial Medicine Garden’s events this time.
“Old Man Han, you’re also a Divine Realm’s bigwig-class figure. It’s absolutely impossible to not have heard about the fiend race’s matters. Now that the fiend race has come into being once more, you probably can’t look on with folded arms, right?” Ye Yuan said.
Old Man Han said with knitted brows, “Such an important matter, this old man naturally won’t look on with folded arms. When exterminating the Medicine King Hall, send a word. This old man will naturally make my way over. It’s just that … sigh …”
As Old Man Han was talking, he let out a long sigh.
The Holy Mother Devil Flower coming into being virtually extracted all of the Immemorial Medicine Garden’s essence energy dry.
The current Immemorial Medicine Garden was practically just an empty husk. Those several dozen million-year-old spirit medicines virtually all fled in all directions and could not be gotten back at all.
With a great battle, no idea how many spirit medicines were ruined either. Just think about it, a great battle that affected over 100 thousand martial artists, that destructive power was simply unimaginable.
The entire Immemorial Medicine Garden was practically a wasteland.
Without the Immemorial Medicine Garden, Cloudmarsh City’s status in the Divine Realm would naturally be greatly reduced.
As Cloudmarsh City’s city lord, Old Man Han naturally had sorrow in his heart.
Ye Yuan looked at this scene in front of him, but he simply said with a cold smile, “Old Man Han, your skin is really getting thicker and thicker! I had a great battle inside the Immemorial Medicine Garden with fiend race and barely escaped death, you actually still want to extort the spirit medicines on me!”
Old Man Han had a problem, that was that he liked to collect all kinds of spirit medicines.
Even though this was the common disease of all alchemists, Old Man Han was clearly much more ill than the others.
This Cloudmarsh City did not restrict outsiders from entering the Immemorial Medicine
Garden. But the things that martial artists obtained inside the Immemorial Medicine Garden, Cloudmarsh City took a cut.
Below Void Mystic experts, even if they were a peak divine king, they also had to hand over the share obediently. Otherwise, they would die very miserably.
These several thousand years, how many spirit medicines Old Man Han collected was already unimaginable.
The Immemorial Medicine Garden’s upheaval this time, only Ye Yuan the few of them escaped. Old Man Han naturally wanted to take his share of the loot.
However, Ye Yuan rebuffed him with a word.
Old Man Han’s face did not turn red nor did his heart beat any faster. He said with a broad smile, “The Immemorial Medicine Garden is already ruined, this Cloudmarsh City of mine won’t live up to its reputation anymore! Younger Brother Ji, you can’t fold your arms and not save me from ruin!”
Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a smile that was not a smile, “Old Man Han, don’t give me that! The fiend race lurked by the side, but you did not detect at all, resulting in poking such a large hole in the basket. My small life was almost lost inside. Aren’t you going to give me a bit of compensation?”
Old Man Han was stupefied, not expecting Ye Yuan to actually make a false counter-charge!
“H-Haha, Younger Brother Ji, making a joke, don’t take it for real! I don’t want it anymore, alright?” Old Man Han joked about it.
Ye Yuan said with a smile, “Old Man Han, don’t think that I’m joking with you! I recently want to refine some medicinal pills and just happened to still lack several spirit medicines. Have a heart and compensate me!”
Old Man Han was startled and said with a black face, “Younger Brother, you know that spirit medicines are this old man’s lifeblood. If you really have designs on them, don’t blame me for not being courteous.”
Old Man Han was a first-rate expert, an apex existence in the Divine Realm. Even Void Mystic powerhouses did not dare to be impudent in front of him too.
But Ye Yuan did not buy it in the slightest.
“Don’t you want to know how I escaped from the hands of the fiend race? Old Man Han, how about … we try it out? You can give it a shot whether your medicine garden can still be preserved or not!” Ye Yuan threatened.
Old Man Han’s face became black as the bottom of a pot. Currently, his intestines were already green with regret.
If he had long known, he would have met Ye Yuan outside and not bring him inside.
Previously, hearing Ye Yuan talk about the events inside the Immemorial Medicine Garden, Old Man Han was very astonished in his heart too.
Over 100 thousand martial artists all died inside. The fiend race’s strength was definitely incomparably fearsome. How did Ye Yuan escape?
Old Man Han was very confident in his own strength. But facing Ye Yuan, he had no confidence in protecting his medicine garden.
The Immemorial Medicine Garden was even ruined, let alone talk about his medicine garden.
Finally, Old Man Han still yielded.
“You punk, when did you become a scoundrel? Forget it, forget it! Consider yourself ruthless! Whatever spirit medicines you required, pick yourself. But above 300 thousand years, you’re absolutely not allowed to take them away!” Old Man Han said hatefully.
He did not expect that he failed to fleece a sum and was blackmailed by Ye Yuan instead.
Ye Yuan chuckled and said, “Don’t you worry, the spirit medicines for my refinement, 200-thousand-year old is already enough.”
Looking at Ye Yuan pluck away the spirit medicines in his medicine garden one stalk by one stalk, Old Man Han’s heart was dripping blood.
…
“Ye Yuan, any discovery yet?” Kuang Tianming asked when Ye Yuan returned to the residence.
Through two months plus of refining medicinal pills, Kuang Tianming finally recovered to his peak state.
When he was informed about that unbelievably tragic battle in the Immemorial Medicine Garden, his shock could not be any greater.
And today, Ye Yuan going to extort Old Man Han was not targeting his spirit medicines at all.
He felt that Old Man Han was very suspicious, so he deliberately wanted to go and probe things out. Except … the result made him very disappointed.
Ye Yuan shook his head and said with furrowed brows, “Old Man Han is a cunning old fox. He doesn’t have any flaws at all! But I keep feeling that he’s somewhat unusual. He has been adjacent to the Immemorial Medicine Garden for several thousand years. Could he be completely unaware of the situation inside? Moreover, the news of the divine rank spirit medicine coming into being this time was also very fishy! I initially thought that it was news disseminated by the Medicine King Hall, but thinking back for a bit, it doesn’t feel too probable either. If say who’s the most convenient to spread this intel, it’s naturally Cloudmarsh City!”
With this bout of probing today, Ye Yuan did not find any clues at all.
Kuang Tianming let out a sigh and said, “The matter of the fiend race is complicated and confusing. The only thing that we can be certain right now is the Medicine King Hall. Looks like wanting to open up new prospects, there’s only starting from the Medicine King Hall.”
Ye Yuan heaved a sigh and said, “There’s only like this. It’s just that those few old fellows from the Holy Region aren’t that easy to convince!”
Kuang Tianming said, “The matter concerns the rise and fall of the human race. It’s not up to them to not take it seriously!”
Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a bitter smile, “The higher the cultivation realm, the greater the power, and the more selfish! Wanting them to take action, it is difficult!”
The two people were currently chatting when Ruan Shuangzhou suddenly came in to report, “Milord, someone who calls himself Yue Jianfeng arrived outside, saying that he’s paying a visit to Miss Li-er.”
Ye Yuan was stupefied and could not help being somewhat doubtful. What did the Yue Family send Yue Jianfeng to come to find Li-er for at this time?
Chapter 1080. Breaking Destiny! |
After Ye Yuan left the City Lord Manor, a figure appeared beside Old Man Han.
“Looks like he’s already suspicious of you,” said that person.
“This brat is too clever. In the past, he didn’t place his thoughts on this. Returning this time, even I, this old antique, feel a headache towards him!” Old Man Han said.
“Huhu, this junior apprentice brother of mine is a peerlessly talented person to begin with. Previous life, it was the environment he grew up in that was too comfortable. Hence, that’s why he could not be bothered to place his thoughts on scheming and conspiring. Once he gets serious, even I’m not a match either!”
This figure was actually Ye Yuan’s senior apprentice brother, Ji Canglan!
Ye Yuan attempted to probe Old Man Han, but he never would have thought that Old Man Han actually got together with Ji Canglan.
Hearing Ji Canglan’s words, Old Man Han deeply felt that way too as he nodded his head and said, “This brat’s maturing speed is too terrifying! The last time he came, I already wanted to make a move to keep him behind. But I discovered that I couldn’t see through him at all. That’s why I didn’t act rashly without careful consideration.”
Ji Canglan said, “Luckily, you didn’t make a move against him. Otherwise, this time, Lord Holy Mother probably won’t have a chance to escape.”
“You really view him so highly? The two of us taking action, keeping him behind shouldn’t be hard,” Old Man Han said in surprise.
Ji Canglan said with a faint smile, “It’s not that I view him highly, but that it’s heaven that thinks highly of him! The son of heaven’s mandate isn’t said for fun! If it was so easy to be killed, then it wouldn’t be called the son of heaven’s mandate! I’ve already killed him once, except … he’s not dead yet, isn’t it so? Our fiend race has counterattacked god knows how many times in the Divine Realm. But each time, it’s foiled at the hands of the child
of destiny! This time, we must be doubly cautious!”
Old Man Han’s expression turned austere as he said, “Could it be that, Holy Son, you infiltrating into the Medicine King Hall, was actually because of him?”
Although Old Man Han’s strength was formidable, this sort of top-secret matters, he naturally did not know. Most likely, the only ones who knew were the Lord Divine Master out of Ji Canglan’s mouth, as well as Ji Canglan himself, right?
Only hearing Ji Canglan say so at this time, did Old Man Han have a feeling of suddenly seeing the whole thing in a clear light, thinking through the cause and effect.
The Divine Realm had Eight Great Super Holy Lands. Even if it was infiltrating, they should also pick the most powerful Holy Region.
Although the Medicine King Hall was powerful, it was still not worth the Divine Master doing so.
Moreover, after the holy son killed the Ji father and son, he did not seem to have any further actions either.
Looking at it now, the holy son infiltrating the Medicine King Hall, his goal from the very start was Ji Qingyun!
Ji Canglan smiled slightly and nodded as he said, “That’s right! Lord Divine Master purged the fiendish energy in my body with a great magical ability, sealed my memories, and sent me into the Medicine King Hall. The goal was precisely Ji Qingyun! Long during a thousand years ago, Lord Divine Master somewhat sensed that this era’s child of destiny will appear in the Medicine King Hall. I laid low for several hundred years and plotted for a long time before finally finding an opportunity to take action, striking dead with one blow. It’s just, I never thought that that didn’t kill him either! Hence, if Ji Qingyun died here muddleheadedly, then he wouldn’t be the son of heaven’s mandate.”
“Hiss …” Old Man Han drew a cold breath.
Such detailed setup, such a deadly blow, was actually unable to kill Ji Qingyun too.
This boy’s life was also truly too tenacious!
In the past, he still scoffed in contempt towards the saying of son of heaven’s mandate. But now, he believed it.
