Suddenly, a black lotus right at the end suddenly fell apart.
The black shadow inside the secret chamber was abruptly startled and muttered to himself, “Mo Qing actually died? Shouldn’t be! Heavenly Eagle Imperial City only has a newly-ascended True God Realm, so how can he possibly be Mo Qing’s match? Even if he’s really not a match, it’s also impossible to not even be able to escape, right?”
No one would have thought that this inconspicuous little inn was actually a branch of the Deathsoul Gate.
And those dozen over black lotuses represented more than a dozen True God Realm powerhouses.
If City Lord Yu Wenfeng knew that there were actually so many True God powerhouses under his rule, he would definitely be uneasy even when sleeping.
The black shadow paced back and forth. Suddenly, the seals in his hand changed erratically, finally turning into several streaks of black threads, concealing into the void.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Very soon, several figures flew into the underground secret chamber.
“Chief!”
After the few people entered, they bowed down towards that black shadow.
The black shadow sat down, made a sound of acknowledgement, and said, “A mission came from upstairs, saying that we must capture the Southridge Patrolling Inspector Ye Yuan alive. I sent Mo Qing over, but … he died!”
“Mo Qing this fool, he had always thought of himself as infallible. Dying was also a matter of time,” one of the people said.
Another person said, “Your Excellency calling us here, could it be to have us take action together?”
The black shadow said coolly, “Yes, Ye Yuan this boy can’t be underestimated, he always has unexpected means. This time, the five of you go together, Lu Xin assumes personal command, the four of you join hands. Additionally, bring over Traceless Spatial Lock. This boy’s spatial law is remarkable, you all have to ensure that it cannot fail under any circumstances before you can take action, understood?”
When the five people heard that, they were all extremely surprised.
Lu Xin frowned and said, “Your Excellency, it’s just capturing a puny little Celestial Deity Realm. Isn’t it making a mountain out of a mole hill? Even without using Traceless Spatial Lock, the five of us joining hands, could it be that he could still escape?”
The black shadow waved his hand and said, “This is the person that the people upstairs want. So matter how highly we regard him, it’s not over the top. Furthermore, Mo Qing is already dead. To be able to kill off a True God Realm without a sound, it’s hard to guarantee that Heavenly Eagle Imperial City doesn’t have any contingencies. Once any slip-ups occur, you and I can’t shoulder it! Do it according to my words, if you fail, carry your head back to see me!”
The five people were slightly fearful in their hearts and no longer dared to be negligent.
“Yes, Your Excellency!”
…
The five people receiving the mission, broke it down into its elements, and quietly sneaked into Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.
The Deathsoul Gate’s disguising and concealing techniques were extremely skillful. On the surface, Lu Xin five people were merely very ordinary Divine Lord Realm martial artists.
The present Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, Divine Lord Realm martial artists were everywhere on the streets, it was nothing at all.
The five people were extremely patient. This lurk became half a year long.
On this day, the five people gathered together in an unassuming commoner’s residence.
Upon entering the door, one of the assassins, Xu Mao, said unhappily, “Mo Qing was really a stupid pig, acting rashly and alerting the enemy. Now, just great! That kid doesn’t leave the City Lord Manor at all. We can’t find the opportunity to act at all!”
Inside the City Lord Manor would normally be laid down with a lot of restrictions.
Even people very skillful in spatial law would also find it very hard to sneak inside without a sound.
The few people were veteran assassins. But Ye Yuan huddling up in his shell like a turtle, they could not do anything either.
“Alright, he’s already dead. What’s the use of you complaining about him? But, this Ye Yuan kid is truly incredible, to actually be able to develop such a heaven-defying medicinal pill. It’s also no wonder that the people upstairs want to capture him alive,” said another assassin.
At this time, the Lu Xin who was silent all along opened his mouth and said, “Since he’s not coming out, then we’ll go in.”
Chapter 1947. Penetrating Insight |
“Your Excellency, the Cloudmoon Imperial City’s envoy team has arrived and are currently requesting an audience outside,” Ning Tianping reported.
Ye Yuan nodded and said, “Let them come in. The Cloudmoon Imperial City and the Myriad Treasure Tower have very deep connections. I can’t shirk responsibility either. Furthermore, the city lord came to visit in person, so it’s also considered giving us sufficient face.”
Ning Tianping said, “Your Excellency, this sort of thing, wouldn’t it do to let City Lord Zuo go and handle it? Why is there a need to welcome personally?”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “It’s cooling to have your back against a large tree! I naturally don’t need to give face to anyone but myself. But the entire Heavenly Eagle Imperial City is hard to defend just based on my power alone. With a Heavenly Emperor faction as a backer, it would naturally be much safer.”
When Ning Tianping heard that, he was filled with deep respect in his heart.
In his eyes, city lords were mostly selfish and sought personal gain, fleecing the blood and sweat of martial artists.
But Ye Yuan was different. His nature was uninhibited, and he did not like to be constrained by an identity like a patrolling inspector.
But in order to protect the people around him, he continuously let Heavenly Eagle develop and strengthen, and even made friends with a major force like the Myriad Treasure Tower.
Encountering this sort of thing, one could only compromise out of consideration for the general interest too.
Ning Tianping was clear that with Ye Yuan’s character, he was actually unwilling to bother with this kind of mundane affairs.
After Ning Tianping withdrew, a group of people walked in after a while.
The person at the front was a middle-aged man, having Eighth Firmament Celestial Deity cultivation, being the strongest person among the party.
When that person saw Ye Yuan, he immediately cupped his fists and said with a big laugh, “I’ve long heard that Master Ye has achieved your ambitions while young. Upon meeting today, you’re indeed extraordinary!”
Ye Yuan also clasped his hands and said smilingly, “City Lord Xu Guang has an extraordinary presence and isn’t a common person. Breaking through to become a True God is right around the corner. Come, come, come! Sit down and talk.”
Everyone sat down as host and guest. Ye Yuan said, “The medicinal pills that City Lord Xu Guang is asking for, this Ye will refine them as quickly as possible. I’ll have to trouble you to wait patiently for two days.”
Xu Guang laughed loudly and said, “No rush, no rush. I know that Master Ye’s Alchemy Dao is unparalleled under the heavens, why would I be in a hurry? This Xu knows that it’s not easy to request for Master Ye to take action and naturally can’t treat you shabbily. I have a precious treasure here. Master Ye, please take a look.”
Ye Yuan nodded with a smile as he said, “Oh? City Lord Xu said it so solemnly, then this Ye really have to take a look. Tianping, give the orders; let City Lord Xu they all prepare a banquet and treat City Lord Xu’s party cordially.”
Ning Tianping was somewhat puzzled, but still acknowledged it and withdrew.
Xu Guang took out a tiny tray with a smile. Ye Yuan’s gaze turned sharp, immediately feeling the extraordinariness of this tray. It was actually a true god mystic treasure!
“Master Ye, this treasure is called … Traceless Spatial Lock!�
��
As Xu Guang said, the surrounding air seemed to solidify, everything became blurry.
Ye Yuan’s two eyes narrowed slightly and did not reveal an overly surprised expression.
Xu Guang was still all smiles as he said, “Once it activates, the surrounding space will be locked! The people outside can’t enter, the people inside … can’t go out! Heh heh, Master Ye, are you going to submit obediently, or do you want the few of us brothers to take action?”
Ye Yuan looked at Xu Guang and said indifferently, “The few of you are members of Deathsoul Gate?”
Xu Guang’s expression changed slightly and said, “How did you know?”
Ye Yuan looked at ‘Xu Guang’ and said indifferently, “Your disguise is indeed pretty good, unfortunately … it can’t deceive my eyes. To have such attainments in the art of disguising, apart from the Deathsoul Gate, I can’t think of others.”
Having cultivated the perfect sixth transformation golden body, the benefits that Ye Yuan obtained was tremendous.
This time, Ye Yuan cleansed his marrows and remolded his fleshy body, his visual prowess also obtained a massive improvement.
Furthermore, the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil had followed Ye Yuan for a long time, making use of Ye Yuan’s perfect visual strength, the power increased by more than a magnitude.
Presently, using fiery golden eyes to describe Ye Yuan’s visual strength was also not overboard1.
The moment ‘Xu Guang’ and the rest entered, they were seen through by Ye Yuan.
This party was precisely the five assassins sent out by the Deathsoul Gate.
And ‘Xu Guang’ was precisely the Fourth Firmament True God powerhouse, Lu Xin.
Lu Xin looked at Ye Yuan, his gaze revealing an uncertain look. But very soon, he felt at ease and opened his mouth and said, “Everyone says that Master Ye’s high morality reaches the clouds and values the people around him very highly; it’s indeed true! You saw through us, but you sent away that Ning Family’s brat. Looks like you’re afraid of accidentally hurting him.”
Ye Yuan was silent, considered to have acquiesced to it.
The Deathsoul Gate sent a First Firmament True God last time. This time, they would naturally be stronger than last time.
Ning Tianping being here, he did not have the confidence in ensuring his safety.
“Heh heh, looks like you already have the awareness and plan on making a trip with us?” Lu Xin said with a laugh.
Ye Yuan said calmly, “You guys want to capture me back to refine pills for you all?”
Lu Xin said, “I’m only following the orders from upstairs. As for capturing you back to do what, that’s not what I can ask. Alright, giving you a chance now; seal your divine sea yourself and follow us.”
Ye Yuan sneered coldly and said, “Go? You all killed Xu Guang’s party and sneaked into my Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, could it be that you still want to leave alive?”
Lu Xin and the rest were taken back and could not help laughing as they said, “Talking wildly, just the likes of you, a Celestial Deity Realm, can you still resist us?”
Suddenly, a figure appeared beside Ye Yuan. It was precisely Bai Tong.
With Dustless’s warning, how could Ye Yuan possibly not be on guard?
So in this half a year, Bai Tong had always been inside the Purple Extreme Hall in closed-seclusion and had always been following by Ye Yuan’s side too.
When Lu Xin saw Bai Tong, his pupils could not help constricting, expression suddenly changing.
This person’s aura was actually identical with him, a Fourth Firmament True God powerhouse too!
When did Heavenly Eagle Imperial City have such an expert?
Could it be that Mo Qing died at his hands?
“I’ll leave this guy to you, no problem, right?” Ye Yuan said.
Bai Tong rolled his eyes and said, “Take away the ‘right’ word.”
Ye Yuan was unable to stifle his laughter when he heard that.
This guy really had cold humor!
The two people chatted, not taking Lu Xin five people seriously at all.
Lu Xin smiled coldly and said, “Fool, so what even if there’s a Fourth Firmament True God? Could it be that he, a Celestial Deity Realm, can still deal with four Second Firmament True Gods?”
The other four people were all Second Firmament True God powerhouses.
Ye Yuan said coolly, “Wouldn’t you know after trying?”
Finished talking, Ye Yuan pushed with the tip of his feet, figure immediately turning into an afterimage, pouncing towards one of the killers.
That assassin had a scornful look, world power suddenly erupting, wanting to take Ye Yuan down a notch.
While the other three people watched this scene calmly, waiting to see Ye Yuan’s wretched appearance.
Upstairs only said not to kill Ye Yuan, but did not say not to let him get injured.
Since he was looking for abuse himself, then it also could not be blamed on others.
In a blink of an eye, Ye Yuan arrived.
Lifting his hand, it was a straight punch, looking like mortals fighting.
Bang!
That assassin’s world domain was immediately smashed until it sunk in, his entire person flying out like a cannonball.
“Puhwark!”
The assassin fell to the ground, opening his mouth and vomiting out a large mouthful of blood.
The pupils of the other four people shrunk, looking at this scene in astonishment and disbelieving faces.
“Sixth transformation golden body! He’s actually a body cultivator! No, wait, even if it’s the sixth transformation golden body, it’s also not possible to be so strong! Could … Could he have … a perfect sixth transformation golden body?” Lu Xin looked at Ye Yuan and said in astonishment.
Chapter 1948. Kicking a Metal Plate |
The explosive power in that instant just now made the few Second Firmament True Gods feel their hearts palpitate.
Furthermore, Ye Yuan did not employ any martial technique, erupting with power that was based fully on the power of the fleshy body.
Such powerful fleshy body power, apart from the perfect sixth transformation golden body, Lu Xin could not think of a second possibility at all.
Ye Yuan looked at Lu Xin and said coolly, “At least you have some knowledge.”
Even if they were mentally prepared, Lu Xin and the rest were still stunned by this answer.
Lu Xin revealed a look of great shock and said, “How is that possible? Disregarding that the requirement of the perfect sixth transformation on resources is harsh, even the Nirvanic Tribulation of the perfect sixth transformation golden body, not one in a hundred might be able to tide it over too. How did you do it?”
Perfect golden body, each additional transformation, the nirvanic tribulation that needed to be faced was even more horrifying!
Even among a hundred perfect fifth transformation golden body martial artists, there might also not be one capable of enduring it.
Deducing it like this, to be able to endure from perfect first transformation to perfect sixth transformation, even among 10 million body cultivators, there might not be one person who succeeds too. It could be seen how rare it was.
The anguish of the perfect sixth transformation nirvanic tribulation, ordinary people could not imagine it at all.
Those able to reach a perfect sixth transformation golden body could also be counted on one hand in the entire Heavenspan World. It could be imagined how shocked Lu Xin was currently.
Even in his dreams, he also would not have thought that Ye Yuan was actually such a terrifying body cultivator.
Ye Yuan naturally knew how terrifying this nirvanic tribulation was. But he pulled through.
“Very unfortunately, I’m that one,” Ye Yuan said very calmly.
The expression on Lu Xin’s face gradually became solemn. He said to the four people in a solemn voice, “The four of you attack together and use combined attacks. Make sure not
to underestimate him! If it can’t be done, leaving first will be the best choice.”
When Xu Mao four people heard that, they had solemn looks on their faces too.
They originally thought that it was catching a turtle in a jar. They did not expect that it was going to be troublesome.
Ye Yuan’s light punch already clearly showed how strong his perfect sixth transformation was.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Xu Mao four people’s actions were extremely fast, each standing in position. The imposing momentum immediately became subtle.
Ye Yuan’s gaze turned intent and also could not help becoming cautious.
These four people just getting into position already became a unified entity. Once they unleashed an attack, the power would likely be extraordinary.
It was true that his perfect sixth transformation was formidable, but it was not invincible.
A Second Firmament True God was far stronger than A First Firmament True God in the first place.
If not for this, Ye Yuan’s punch previously would have long eradicated that assassin.
But the other party only suffered some injuries. It did not have a huge impact on the battle.
The disparity between Second Firmament and First Firmament True Gods was clear at a glance.
True God Realm powerhouses were not some random Tom, Dick, or Harry. Martial artists able to break through to the True God Realm, each one of them was a genius among geniuses.
That punch of Ye Yuan’s before was merely just a probe.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Xu Mao moved!
A sword move, swift like lightning.
Ye Yuan’s gaze turned dark and pointed a finger out. He was actually relying on his fleshy body to meet a true god mystic treasure!
Clank!
A clear metal clashing sound came over. Xu Mao seemed to have been struck by a tremendous force, falling back.
Ye Yuan was just about to chase after when another sword stabbed over.
This sword was extremely sharp, piercing straight for Ye Yuan’s lower ribs.
Although Ye Yuan’s fleshy body was powerful, he was not really impervious to swords and spears.
