Everyone dared to get angry but did not dare to speak up.
“If only Lord Ye Yuan was in the city, these guys definitely won’t dare to be unbridled.”
“Sigh! I heard that the ones who came this time are Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital’s middle-stage True God Realm powerhouses! Even if Lord Ye Yuan is here, it will likely be tough to stem the raging tides too.”
“Behind them, stands an Empyrean powerhouse! Even thinking about it makes people tremble! Could it be that … Heavenly Eagle Imperial City is going to return to its state like in the past in the end? We barely experienced a few good days!”
Great imperial capitals were represented by Empyrean powerhouses.
Empyrean powerhouses represented invincibility!
At least, for an extremely long time, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City’s martial artists never thought that they could get involved with Empyrean powerhouses.
This level of powerhouse could massacre countless imperial cities with a wave of a hand. They were not in the same world as them at all.
Now, being targeted by this kind of powerhouse, everyone bemoaned endlessly in their hearts.
At least, the current days were much better than in the past. Who would be willing to return to the past?
“Oh, right, isn’t there still a Fourth Firmament True God powerhouse in the city?”
No idea who spoke, it rekindled everyone’s hope again.
What they did not know was that Lu Ziyi was currently confronting Bai Tong at this time.
“Am I making a move, or are you doing it yourself?” Lu Ziyi said coolly, without the slightest emotion.
Bai Tong said coolly, “I’ll only use one move. If you can receive it, I’ll enter the prison by myself.”
He was currently merely an initial-stage Fourth Firmament True God, but Lu Ziyi was a peak Fifth Firmament True God.
There was practically a difference of two minor cultivation realms between the two people.
Although Bai Tong was an Empyrean powerhouse, his strength was not considered strong among Empyreans.
His most important identity was still an alchemist.
Lu Ziyi nodded slightly and said, “Okay, I’ll give you this chance. Make your move!”
Bai Tong smiled slightly. Waving his hand, he pointed a finger out. The entire void started trembling.
Lu Ziyi’s face revealed a slight look of surprise, but his expression turned to normal very quickly.
It was only to hear her give a delicate cry, her dainty palm smacking out without any mercy.
For a moment, a horrifying power of law was virtually going to punch through space.
Bai Tong’s pupils constricted, immediately feeling tremendous pressure.
Bang!
Two powers of law collided fiercely in the air, Bai Tong’s figure flew out backward.
Lu Ziyi looked at the Bai Tong who fell to the ground and said coolly, “Strength isn’t bad, but t’s just that it’s still a bit lacking.”
Finished talking, she left with her hands behind her back.
Bai Tong gave a bitter laugh, really having a feeling of a tiger who landed in a plain being bullied by a dog. But he still walked into the prison obediently.
…
When Ye Yuan stepped into Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, he immediately detected that something was wrong.
He furrowed his eyebrows but still walked over in the direction of the City Lord Manor.
“Lord Ye Yuan! Lord Ye Yuan came back!” Very soon, the martial artists in the city recognized Ye Yuan, all revealing half hopeful and half fearful faces.
Ye Yuan sensed the peculiarity in their gaze, but he did not pay mind and just answered with a smile.
Suddenly, a young Divine Lord Realm martial artist grabbed hold of Ye Yuan and said anxiously, “Lord Ye Yuan, you can’t go to the City Lord Manor! Hurry up and leave!”
Ye Yuan’s brows furrowed, thinking to himself that something indeed happened!
“What happened?” Ye Yuan asked.
The Divine Lord Realm martial artist said, “Your Excellency, don’t care about it! Hurry up and go! It will be too late if you still don’t leave! Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital’s powerhouses have already surrounded the entire city until not even water can seep through, just waiting for your appearance!”
“Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital?” Ye Yuan was startled in his heart, not expecting that the problem actually came from Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital.
He did not become the Southridge patrolling inspector harboring the mentality of setting up a separatist regime. It was just that making him go to Nine Pledge Imperial Capital to report and pay his respects every day, he could not possibly do it.
As for Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital, that was naturally even more impossible.
Except, Ye Yuan did not expect that Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital actually intervened in the remote Southridge Ten Cities.
The Divine Lord Realm martial artist nodded and said, “Correct. They sent three middle-stage True God Realm powerhouses to come. Their means are all very formidable. Even that Fourth Firmament True God powerhouse was defeated. Hurry and leave! If still not leaving, it will really be too late.”
Ye Yuan’s pupils constricted when he heard this. Others did not know Bai Tong’s identity, but Ye Yuan knew. Bai Tong was an Empyrean powerhouse!
Even if matching up against a Fifth Firmament True God, Bao Tong also should not lose.
Being able to defeat Bai Tong, the strength of the people that came this time was really very strong!
But what Ye Yuan was more worried about was still Bai Tong’s safety.
“That Fourth Firmament True God you mentioned, is he alright?” Ye Yuan’s tone gradually turned cold.
The Divine Lord Realm martial artist shook his head and said, “How can this lowly one know such things? Either way, the people from the City Lord Manor and people who are related to Your Excellency have virtually all already fallen into enemy hands; life and death unknown!”
Life and death unknown!
Ye Yuan’s head went buzzing.
Bai Chen, White Light, Leng Qiuling, and Jiang Jadehall, they all were Ye Yuan’s extremely close people.
If they all died, Ye Yuan would really go insane.
“Ye Yuan, it’s true! Hurry and leave! The guards in the city now have all been swapped out. They have probably already gotten the news. If you still don’t go, it will really be too late!” This Divine Lord Realm clearly respected Ye Yuan a lot; his words were full of concern.
Ye Yuan drew a deep breath and worked hard to calm himself down.
He knew that with this person’s level, it was impossible to know the specifics of the matter.
This incident still had to meet the other party before it could be confirmed.
If … If someone really died, Ye Yuan would definitely destroy the Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital!
Ye Yuan suddenly beamed widely and asked, “Little Brother, what’s your name?”
The Divine Lord Realm martial artist was taken aback and blurted out, “This … This lowly one is called Jiang Ming.”
Ye Yuan nodded and said smilingly, “Jiang Ming, I’ve remembered it.”
Finished talking, his figure moved, heading straight in the direction of the City Lord Manor.
But right then, an abnormality suddenly occurred.
A ray of sword light sped over like the wind from ten thousand feet away, arriving in an instant.
But the target was not Ye Yuan!
Ye Yuan naturally felt the sword light and abruptly wanted to turn around.
Except, it was already too late.
Bang!
Horrifying law undulations directly obliterated Jiang Ming!
How could a mere Divine Lord Realm powerhouse block a True God’s sword?
“As a Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital’s citizen, to actually turn traitor and tip people off; truly a commoner! Death isn’t
regrettable!”
A sweet-sounding voice closed in from afar.
The voice was so pleasant, but the person’s action was so cruel.
Chapter 1999. Lowly Commoner |
Although this was on a bustling street, the entire city was incomparably quiet. Only this pleasant-sounding voice was reverberating.
Lu Ziyi walked over lightly just like that as if a heavenly maiden descending upon the mortal world.
That appearance made all life topple.
But in the eyes of the current Ye Yuan, this was a skeleton.
A pink skeleton!
She was heartless, she was cold, and she looked down on all living things.
In her eyes, she was heaven, not allowing the slightest bit of defiance.
“Your Excellency, hurry and go! It will be too late if you still don’t leave!”
“Your Excellency, I’m called Jiang Ming!”
…
Jiang Ming only spoke a few sentences to Ye Yuan in total, the words still ringing in his ears.
It was also Ye Yuan’s first time seeing this young Divine Lord Realm martial artist. He could see Jiang Ming’s feelings of idolization toward him from the other party’s eyes.
He was innocent.
But this woman killed him in front of him just like that!
Unforgivable!
An icy-cold killing intent instantly swept throughout the entire street.
On the streets, it was as if the temperature suddenly fell several degrees.
Lu Ziyi looked at Ye Yuan expressionlessly and said while having a pitying look, “Are you angry for a lowly commoner? Truly pitiful! It likewise also shows your incompetence! You couldn’t save him and similarly can’t save yourself too.”
Not that Ye Yuan did not want to save, but that that sword move earlier grasped the situation too well.
His heart was full of worry over White Light and the rest. The moment he moved, he called forth all of his energy, and then the sword came from another direction. He had no time to turn around and save Jiang Ming at all.
Even if he knew spatial law, it also could not make it in time!
Ye Yuan’s two eyes were icy-cold as he questioned, “In your eyes, is human life akin to grass? You are targeting me, so why make a move against an irrelevant person!”
Lu Ziyi had a calm look as she said, “A mere lowly commoner. If he’s killed, then he’s killed, what can you do to me? Moreover, he isn’t an unrelated person. He tipped you off. Rebelling against us by giving information is the same crime as revolting!”
By the side, Deng Wei could not help laughing as he said, “Really a foolish guy! He’s clearly so weak, yet he still wants to share his sympathy with such a lowly commoner. I really don’t know how he cultivated reaching his realm.”
Dai Yang also laughed in spite of himself and said, “This kid’s cultivation speed is pretty fast. The intel that we received was that he might have broken through to the True God Realm already. I didn’t think that he’s already Third Firmament True God. However … it’s still too weak!”
Lu Ziyi said coolly, “Rootless wood, waterless duckweed; no matter how high the realm, it’s also futile.”
These three people chimed in one after another. Heavenly Eagle’s martial artists were uncomfortable all over when they listened.
In the eyes of these proud chosen of heaven, they all, these people, were simply insignificant existences.
One more, one less, it completely did not matter to these proud chosen of heaven.
Of course, it was like this in the entire Heavenspan World.
It was just that after experiencing Ye Yuan’s rule, they felt that this was a heavenly paradise.
Ye Yuan was different from these high and mighty proud chosen of heaven!
He would fly into a great rage for an insignificant civilian.
This kind of warm feeling was what they had never experienced before.
Ye Yuan looked at Lu Ziyi, his face frosty as he said, “The three of you keep harping about him being a lowly commoner. Do you really think that you’re dragons or phoenixes among men? In my eyes, you guys are the out-and-out lowly plebeians!”
His words were full of ridicule.
Lu Ziyi’s expression was calm and did not get angry. She just said coolly, “Indulging in contention of mouth and tongue? That laughable dignity of yours is actually utterly worthless. Okay, I’ll give you a chance, if you can win any one out of the three of us, I can bring my men and leave.”
Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital’s understanding of Ye Yuan was actually not much.
They received a tip-off, saying that Ye Yuan was acting autonomously. It was only then they started paying attention to such a remote Southridge Ten Cities.
Looking into it slightly, they discovered that Southridge Ten Cities’ situation was indeed somewhat abnormal.
Hence, that was why there was this operation.
The reason why they sent out such a powerful line-up was that they knew that a Fourth Firmament True God powerhouse had once appeared here before.
As for Ye Yuan, they did not place him in their eyes at all.
But Ye Yuan’s appearance indeed made these three people somewhat surprised.
Logically speaking, Ye Yuan at most just broke through to the True God Realm currently. Who knew that he already reached the Third Firmament True God Realm so quickly.
But, even if it was Third Firmament True God, Lu Ziyi still did not take him seriously.
Initial-stage True God Realm and middle-stage True God Realm were on completely different levels.
Ye Yuan’s gaze was frosty as he said, “No need! Today, none of you can leave! In your eyes, Jiang Ming is a lowly commoner. But in my eyes, he’s ten thousand times nobler than you all. Hence, I’ll use your blood to hold a memorial ceremony for Jiang Ming!”
Deng Wei laughed loudly when he heard it and said, “Ignorant thing, to actually place that lowly commoner in the same category as us. Are you trying to infuriate us? Well, you’ve succeeded. You’ll regret it.”
Finished talking, he slowly walked out, aura becoming stronger and stronger, climbing to the peak very quickly.
A Fifth Firmament True God!
When the martial artists in the city saw this commotion, each and every one of their expression changed abruptly. They could not help worrying for Ye Yuan.
They knew that every minor realm of True God Realm had a tremendous disparity; let alone that there was a small stage between Ye Yuan and Deng Wei!
He looked at Ye Yuan and said with a pitying look, “Originally planned on detaining and bringing all of you to the great imperial capital. Looking at it now, there’s no need anymore.”
It was only to see two kinds of power of law fuse together in perfect harmony, his aura rising a level once more.
Horrifying heaven and earth spiritual energy gathered over crazily.
“So strong! This is wind and lightning, two powers of law fusing. Furthermore, these two kinds of laws are already cultivated to middle-stage rank six.”
“Truly well-deserving of being a genius that came from a great imperial capital. He’s actually this strong!”
“Lord Ye Yuan isn’t looking too good. Although he also has law fusion, the realm disparity is too great!”
…
The martial artists in the city could not refrain from worrying about Ye Yuan.
Reaching True God Realm, jumping realms and battling became increasingly difficult.
Moreover, Deng Wei, this kind of genius was an existence invincible in the same rank to begin with.
“A bumpkin like you will never understand the difference between you and a true genius. If you can receive this Wind Lightning True Grand Palm and not die, this genius can consider sparing your life!”
Deng Wei’s gaze turned cold and suddenly threw a palm out, aiming straight for Ye Yuan.
But, amidst everyone’s shocked gazes, Ye Yuan did not move a muscle.
Yes, there was
n’t the slightest bit of law undulation on Ye Yuan’s body. He also did not condense any heaven and earth spiritual energy.
He … actually stood there and let the other party hit!
Everyone was stunned!
Facing a powerhouse who was two minor realms higher than him, he actually stood there and did not move?
Everyone’s hearts leaped to their throats, looking at Ye Yuan with worried faces.
Lu Ziyi just smiled coldly and said, “Stupid!”
This palm arrived in an instant and bombarded Ye Yuan’s body solidly, erupting with an intense speed.
Everyone looked at this scene in complete bewilderment, not knowing why Ye Yuan would do this.
Deng Wei looked at that ball of light with a contemptuous look and said disdainfully, “Foolish thing, think that he’s an unkillable cockroach?”
But very soon, the light dissipated. A figure stood there proudly, standing stone still.
Chapter 2000. The Laws of Five Elements! |
“This … How is this possible?”
“Actually completely unscathed! Lord Ye Yuan he … How did he do it?”
“This defensive strength is truly freakishly powerful!”
…
There were cries of exclamations in the city. Following that, there was joyful cheering.
Not seeing him for several decades, Lord Ye Yuan’s strength increased to a realm that made people tremble again.
Of course, this was to the enemy.
Deng Wei’s pupils constricted, staring fixedly at that figure, full of disbelief.
Ye Yuan stood proudly, his body not even having a damaged corner of his sleeves.
How freakish was this defensive power?!
Lu Ziyi’s brows furrowed slightly, clearly extremely surprised by this scene.
“Just now, there was … the undulation of an empyrean spirit treasure! He has a defensive empyrean spirit treasure on him!” Lu Ziyi opened her mouth and said coldly.
“E-Empyrean spirit treasure?” Deng Wei looked at Ye Yuan absent-mindedly.
Immediately, his face revealed a look of wild elation.
Ye Yuan had an empyrean spirit treasure on him. As long as he killed Ye Yuan, wouldn’t the empyrean spirit treasure be his?
