“Since Your Excellency said so, then … this Zuo will thicken my face and continue holding the post!”
The two people were currently talking when Ning Tianping suddenly came in to report. He said, “Your Excellency, there’s a powerhouse outside who says that he’s your disciple and wants to meet you.”
Chapter 1909. Crazy Idea |
“Disciple?”
Ye Yuan frowned and could not come up with anything after thinking for a long time. When did he take in a disciple?
But, thinking about it, it also seemed like no one dared to come and impersonate as his disciple currently, right?
“Let him come in,” Ye Yuan instructed.
Not long after, Ning Tianping led a young man in, his handsome face like carved jade, elegant and natural.
“Master!” When the young man saw Ye Yuan, he had a look of wild elation on his face, pressing his head onto the ground.
Seeing the other party, Ye Yuan also finally recalled who this disciple was and was immediately overjoyed.
“Bai Chen!”
This young man was precisely the disciple that Ye Yuan took in back then in the Sky Foothill World. It was White Night Sacred Palace’s palace lord, Bai Chen.
Parting for close to a thousand years, Ye Yuan did not expect that he actually came to find him, and immediately felt very warm.
The Ning Tianping and Zuo Shujie by the side both had strange expressions when they saw this scene.
This peak Ninth Firmament Celestial Deity powerhouse actually called master when he saw Ye Yuan. It seemed somewhat strange no matter what.
They naturally did not feel that Ye Yuan did not have the qualification. It was just that the disciple’s realm was even higher than the master’s, this was indeed rather unusual.
Furthermore, this Bai Chen was also too young, to actually already have peak Ninth Firmament Celestial Deity cultivation. It made them feel very odd.
“Tsk tsk, Your Excellency is Your Excellency, even taking in a disciple is so incredible!” Ning Tianping said with vicissitudes of emotion.
“You followed His Excellency for so long, have you seen His Excellency accept disciples before?” Zuo Shujie asked.
Ning Tianping shook his head and said, “Never seen before.”
Zuo Shujie’s pupils shrunk and he said in surprise, “Then doesn’t that mean that His Excellency already accepted this disciple before coming to Heavenly Eagle? This disciple … is also too heaven-defying, right?”
Bai Chen’s age was even younger than Ye Yuan, how could he have such horrifying cultivation speed?
“Haha, quickly get up! I didn’t expect that what you refined was actually a peak Ninth Firmament Celestial Deity Dao Fruit, your present realm is actually above mine!” Ye Yuan had a rare bout of hearty laughter.
It could be said that he watched Bai Chen grow up.
To be able to have such accomplishments presently, he was naturally happy.
Peak Ninth Firmament Celestial Deity, although it did not count as some impressive big shot, it was also considered a powerhouse of a region already.
When Ning Tianping and Zuo Shujie heard this, only then did they come to a realization. Turned out that Bai Chen actually refined a Celestial Deity Dao Fruit to cultivate so quickly.
Bai Chen blushed with shame and said, “Master, don’t make fun of me anymore. Master’s cultivation speed is simply terrifying. In less than a short thousand years, you cultivated from Grotto Profound Realm to your present realm; it’s seldom-seen universally! Furthermore, Master still has infinite potential, but I no longer have the possibility of breaking through!”
Talking up to here, a hint of dejection flashed across in Bai Chen’s gaze.
To the him back then, Celestial Deity Realm was an existence too lofty to reach, a realm impossible to reach throughout his entire life.
But now, he was the master of Sky Foothill, a Ninth Firmament Celestial Deity powerhouse. His horizons were already different from normal.
In this Heavenspan World, there was still an entirely different world!
Back then, Ye Yuan also warned him before. But at that time, on the one hand, he was forced by the circumstances. On the other hand, he acknowledged that he could not reach his present realm.
But now, when he really fully refined the Dao Fruit, he somewhat felt a sense of loss.
The road was chosen by him, he did not regret it. But the sense of loss in his heart could not be avoided.
Especially after seeing Ye Yuan, this kind of feeling became increasingly stronger.
Seeing Bai Chen’s appearance, Ye Yuan also sighed.
Bai Chen’s talent was pretty good in the Sky Foothill World. But with his talent, it was very hard to break through to the Celestial Deity Realm.
Refining the Dao Fruit was indeed a very decent choice for him.
But human desire was ever expanding. Who could be willing to never make progress for all their lives?
Moreover, Bai Chen was still so young.
Thinking up to here, a crazy idea suddenly appeared in Ye Yuan’s mind.
Did people who refined Dao Fruits really had no hopes of advancing ranks anymore?
Perhaps, perhaps he could invent a medicinal pill that could let people who refined Dao Fruits advance ranks?
As soon as this idea was born, it could not be stopped no matter what.
“Bai Chen, heaven doesn’t seal off all paths! Maybe there’s still a way. Coming to find me this time, what plans do you have?” Ye Yuan said smilingly.
Bai Chen thought that Ye Yuan was consoling him and just forced a smile.
After Bai Chen refined the Dao Fruit, he discovered that he was unable to comprehend Heavenly Dao anymore. His cultivation also would not have any growth.
No matter how hard he worked, it could not change this result either.
Only then did he know that his master did not bluff him.
There was really no hope at all!
He was different from those people on their deathbeds snatching for Dao Fruits. He was too young.
He was unwilling, so he ran out of the Sky Foothill World, wanting to come to the Heavenspan World to seek out lucky chances.
He came to find Ye Yuan before, but at that time, Ye Yuan already left Heavenly Eagle, his whereabouts not known.
Hence, he started drifting around in the Heavenspan World.
But the more he came into contact with, the more he despaired.
He knew that once refined a Dao Fruit, there was no more possibility of breaking through. Unless one refined an even stronger Dao Fruit.
But this difficulty was too great!
The higher Dao Fruits went, the rarer they got. The chances of appearing were too low.
Furthermore, each time they appeared, there were countless powerhouses who went to snatch it.
Hence, Bai Chen became more and more in despair.
“Master, I wish to stay by your side. If you have anything that you need this disciple to do, this disciple will carry out my obligations!” Bai Chen said.
Bai Chen was very grateful toward Ye Yuan. Without Ye Yuan, he would have long died, let alone become Sky Foothill World’s sovereign.
Now, his cultivation realm could still do a little something for Ye Yuan. Another few more years, he probably would not even have the opportunity to do miscellaneous chores for Ye Yuan anymore.
Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, “Tianping, go and call them together, I’ll introduce to them this disciple of mine.”
Ye Yuan introduced Heavenly Eagle’s Celestial Deity Realms, everyone also became acquainted with this disciple of Ye Yuan’s.
It was just that in their hearts, everyone still looked down on him, this Ninth Firmament Celestial Deity. It was just that no one expressed it.
Among these people included Ning Tianping, White Light, as well as Leng Qiuling and the rest.
Martial artists who refined Dao Fruits, everyone would have some discrimination in their hearts.
&nb
sp; Firstly, this was something earned without any labor toiled. Secondly, this kind of person’s potential was already exhausted and it was impossible to break through anymore.
If Bai Chen went to an ordinary imperial city, everyone naturally would not have this kind of thought. But following by Ye Yuan’s side, everyone had limitless futures.
Only Bai Chen would never be able to improve.
Hence, even though Bai Chen was presently the highest cultivation realm in Southridge Ten Cities, the number two powerhouse in martial prowess, everyone actually more or less had scorn in their hearts.
This kind of subtle atmosphere, Bai Chen could also feel it himself.
But, for Ye Yuan’s sake, he endured it.
Ye Yuan could naturally see it clearly too, but he did not say anything.
This matter, he did not dare to say for certain either. Hence, he did not say it to anyone.
Furthermore, right at this time, Nine Pledge Imperial Capital that side also sent people.
On this day, Nine Pledge Imperial Capital’s City Lord Manor sent several martial artists, detaining a prisoner, arriving at Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.
The one in the front was a young man.
This young man was a little older than Yu Jinsong, but he had some similarities with him between his eyebrows.
Seeing Ye Yuan, that young man bowed in salute and said, “I’m Yu Changyun. I come here specially to pay respects to Lord Patrolling Inspector on Father’s command.”
Chapter 1910. Awe |
Among the arrivals, there was not one True God Realm powerhouse.
In Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, apart from that mysterious pink pig, similarly did not have a True God Realm.
The City Lord Manor doing so already expressed sufficient respect toward Southridge.
Of course, everyone was well aware that actually, that was respect toward Lord Patrolling Inspector Ye Yuan.
“Tsk tsk, those are all the imperial capital’s lords! If not for Lord Ye Yuan, how could they possibly come to our backcountry?”
“I heard that that person talking with lord Ye Yuan is Nine Pledge Imperial Capital City Lord’s son, half-step True God Realm. Even he has to be so polite to our Lord Ye Yuan!”
“Heh, Lord Ye Yuan is really too incredible, even True God powerhouses have to conduct themselves based on his expression!”
…
In the city, bustling streams of people watched Ye Yuan meet with the City Lord Manor’s powerhouses with idolizing expressions on their faces.
Ye Yuan swept a glance at Yu Jinsong who was already all bundled up. He then said coolly, “Looks like City Lord His Excellency is very sincere!”
Ye Yuan understood that this tying up was done for him to see. Yu Jinsong did not have any strength to resist at all.
The restriction that he planted on Yu Jinsong, the City Lord Manor was still unable to dispel it until now!
Ye Yuan’s chaos divine essence was extremely special in the first place. It even mixed in blue divine marks inside. Even if a True God powerhouse wanted to release it, it was absolutely not an easy matter too.
Yu Jinsong’s face no longer had the former pride. It was full of dispiritedness and terror.
Yu Changyun clasped his hands and said, “My younger brother was malicious, resulting in committing a grave mistake. Father ordered me to tie him up and await Lord Patrolling Inspector’s sentencing.”
Ye Yuan just smiled and said, “Go to the City Lord Manor before talking.”
Ye Yuan led the party into the City Lord Manor and sat down as host and guest.
Yu Changyun signaled his subordinate with his eyes. The subordinate got the meaning and brought Yu Jinsong to the hall, letting him kneel down in front of Ye Yuan.
“Father said that this boy is too malicious, resulting in offending Lord Patrolling Inspector. Now, we tie him up here; want to kill or dismember is up to you.”
Yu Changyun got up to clasp his hands in salute, his attitude very humble and polite, as if the one kneeling below was not his younger brother.
Ye Yuan said coolly, “With my temperament, even killing him several times isn’t enough. But this incident, I’m not the party involved. Killing him or not, I still need to ask Brother Jiang father and daughter to make a final decision.”
Jiang Jadehall’s entire body trembled, tears pouring out.
Starting from when he was framed and thrown into jail, until escaping with his life now, Jiang Jadehall had never thought that he could personally take revenge.
To him, Yu Jinsong was a figure far removed from the masses.
Wanting to take revenge was far too difficult.
But now, Ye Yuan put the chance in front of his eyes.
He walked toward Yu Jinsong tremblingly, his footsteps carrying a hint of solemness.
He hated Yu Jinsong to the bones, not because of himself, but because of his daughter.
This animal actually sullied Jiang Haitang’s innocence, so how could he get over it?
“Jiang Jadehall, you dare?!” Yu Jinsong sensed the threat of death and roared angrily at Jiang Jadehall.
Jiang Jadehall’s expression changed and he actually came to a standstill.
Before this, he, Jiang Jadehall, had always been an insignificant character.
Even if Yu Jinsong was being tied up, he was also an important person with a deep background.
Jiang Jadehall did not dare about himself. He was afraid that killing Yu Jinsong would bring trouble to Ye Yuan.
If tying Yu Jinsong up and bringing him over was just Yu Wenfeng’s act of giving face, if he really killed, it would definitely incur considerable trouble.
After all, Yu Wenfeng was a middle-stage True God Realm powerhouse. Once all decorum was lost, the land of Southridge would definitely be plunged into misery and suffering.
“Brother Jiang, don’t need to worry about anything. Want to kill or dismember, it is up to you. I can shoulder it!” Ye Yuan said coolly.
Hearing this, Yu Jinsong’s expression could not help changing and he roared angrily, “Ye Yuan, you dare to kill me?”
Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a smile that was not a smile, “You’re merely a sacrificial piece right now, that’s all. Yet you still want to assume the majesty of the tiger? City Lord Yu has not just you, one son. If you died, then you died; so what? If he really wanted to protect you, you also wouldn’t show up here today.”
Yu Jinsong’s expression changed and he said in a solemn voice, “I’m his most outstanding son, he won’t abandon me! If you dare to touch me, he’ll definitely trample Southridge to the ground!”
Ye Yuan laughed when he heard that and said, “I think that you’re mistaken! He didn’t send you here because he didn’t like you, but because he knows that he can’t protect you anymore no matter what! You know, he can’t kill me. But before long, I’ll be able to kill him. You dying and you all dying together, he chose you dying, that’s all.”
The talent that Ye Yuan displayed was too strong. No one would doubt whether he could step into the True God Realm.
Taking action against Ye Yuan now, one they could not kill him, what awaited them would be his future crazed revenge.
The reason why Ye Yuan displayed his talent in front of the three great powerhouses was for the sake of astounding them, making them not dare to act rashly without careful consideration.
Moreover, Heavenly Eagle still had an even more mysterious pink pig.
Therefore, Ye Yuan was not afraid of anything!
Yu Wenfeng could only abandon Yu Jinsong right now to get on friendly terms with Ye Yuan.
If he became enemies with Ye Yuan, then when he grew up in the future, the consequences would be catastrophic.
Ye Yuan’s analysis made Jiang Jadehall’s eyes become bright.
He understood, the present Ye Yuan already had the capital to challenge True God powerhouses.
Even True God powerhouses had to come and butter him up!
Hence, he did
not need to fear anything.
Suddenly, Jiang Jadehall pointed like lightning, pointing at Yu Jinsong’s abdomen.
“ARGHH!!”
Yu Jinsong gave a miserable scream, his entire person sent flying out.
The corners of Yu Changyun’s mouth twitched slightly but recovered his calm very quickly.
“M-My cultivation! You … You crippled my cultivation!” Yu Jinsong roared furiously.
Jiang Jadehall did not look at him. He said to Ye Yuan with cupped fists, “Ye Yuan, Haitang and I thank you! Thank you for giving me the chance to take revenge with my own hands!”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Brother Jiang doesn’t need to be like this. The road after today is still long!”
Jiang Jadehall nodded his head solemnly and took his leave.
He did not know how to express his feelings of gratitude. But at this moment, he already made up his mind that this life was Ye Yuan’s!
“Ye Yuan, kill me if you have the guts! Otherwise, you’ll definitely regret it!”Yu Jinsong roared.
Bang!
Ye Yuan flicked his sleeves, directly sending him flying out.
“Noisy! Throw him out of the city for me!” Ye Yuan said coolly.
Done with these, only then did Ye Yuan return to his seat and said to Yu Changyun coolly, “City Lord Yu’s generous gift, I’ll accept it. However, this is what he owes me, it’s not considered a favor. If you want to request for medicinal pills, there still needs to be additional compensation.”
The corners of Yu Changyun’s mouth twitched again, rather unhappy in his heart.
If not for Yu Wenfeng repeatedly exhorting before coming, forbidding him from provoking Ye Yuan, he would have long exploded.
Outside all talked about how Ye Yuan was so and so. He did not see it with his own eyes and naturally did not believe it.
But his father said it very seriously, so Yu Changyun did not dare to defy.
Because he did not wish to become a second Yu Jinsong.
“Haha, that’s of course!” Yu Changyun said with a laugh.
“I wonder what medicinal pill Brother Yu is requesting?” Ye Yuan asked.
Mentioning this, Yu Changyun was rather agitated as he said, “These few days, His Excellency racked his brain and finally gathered the spirit medicines required for the Sun Moon Azure Sky Pill. We hope that Lord Patrolling Inspector can refine one on our behalf. As for the compensation, it will naturally satisfy you.”
