Yun Yi seemed to have long expected it and said in a solemn voice, “Then Yi-er can only die together with Heavenly Eagle!”
As he said, he turned around and returned to the top of the city walls, and stood side by side with Bai Tong.
“Good! Good! Good! To think that I, Pilljade, was wise for a lifetime, but I actually raised such an unfilial descendant like you! Forget it! This Empyrean will take it as I didn’t have you, this offspring!”
Empyrean Pilljade repeatedly said ‘good’ three times. It could be seen how furious he was currently.
His gaze turned dark as he said in a clear voice, “People in the city listen up! This Empyrean came here today to avenge my enmity with Ye Yuan punk! Those who are Ye Yuan’s sworn followers all have to be rounded up in one fell swoop today! But this Empyrean cares about the welfare of every living thing and doesn’t wish to implicate the innocent. Right now, anyone who steps forward and surrenders, this Empyrean can spare their lives and let bygones be bygones! In fact, Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital will even have a place for you!”
Taking revenge was one thing, but what Empyrean Pilljade valued more was the pill formulas!
Pill formulas were the future of the Southern Border Alliance.
Right now, the Southern Border Alliance was just the Myriad Treasure Tower’s distributor, their profits being pitifully meager.
But with pill formulas, everything would be different!
There was also one thing. The medicinal pills that Heavenly Eagle produced, the quality was higher than those at other places!
What did this indicate?
This showed that Heavenly Eagle’s alchemists had high standards!
Heavenly Eagle’s Pill Tower’s alchemists were all pillars of society. Their strength far surpassed those in the same rank.
With so many talented people, killing them would be too wasteful.
What Empyrean Pilljade pursued was benefits and not slaughter.
Hence, before he took care of Heavenly Eagle, he naturally had to solicit some alchemists.
Under the Southern Border Alliance’s army, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City was long already as precarious as a stack of eggs piled on top of one another.
Pilljade had faith that as long as these alchemists were not fools, they would size up the situation.
But one breath passed.
Three breaths passed.
Ten breaths passed.
No one stepped forward!
Not a single one!
Pilljade’s expression became increasingly uglier and he said in a solemn voice, “You all rest assured, with this Empyrean around, no one from Heavenly Eagle will dare to make a move against you all!”
Southern Border Alliance this side had as many experts as clouds. He himself was even a Ninth Firmament Empyrean peerless expert.
This battle did not have any suspense at all.
But there was still no one who came out.
“Empyrean Pilljade, give up on this! No one will go with you! We’ll live and die together with Heavenly Eagle!”
“Stop trying to win popular support here! Who doesn’t know that you’re coveting the pill formulas! Still putting on an appearance here, don’t you find it disgraceful?”
“Stop dreaming! Even if we die, we’ll also bring the pill formulas into the coffin! If you have the ability, go find Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure and the seven great ancient families to ask for pill formulas!”
… …
All of a sudden, a series of noisy voices came from the city.
The martial artists and alchemists in the city all let loose a torrent of abuse towards Empyrean Pilljade.
Empyrean Pilljade was angered until his expression was livid with rage, and was incredibly shocked in his heart.
Could it be that Heavenly Eagle Imperial City’s civilians were all a bunch of desperate people who did not fear death?
Was there such a place in the entire Heavenspan World?
Why?
Why did these guys rather die than be willing to surrender?
Hearing the cursing voices that came from here, the Southern Border Alliance side was incomparably shocked.
“A-Are these guys all lunatics? Could it be that they all aren’t scared of death?”
“What the hell kind of place is Heavenly Eagle? Why are all of them like madmen?”
“There’s actually no one who surrendered! This … How is this possible?”
… …
How could they know that for Heavenly Eagle Imperial City to have its present cohesion, it was earned by Ye Yuan with his life!
Only sincerity could be exchanged with sincerity.
Relationships that were bound together using benefits ultimately could not go far.
Bai Tong looked at Empyrean Pilljade and laughed in spite of himself as he said, “Stop making futile efforts! Ye Yuan that brat’s abilities aren’t what you can imagine. Even if Heavenly Eagle Imperial City fights until the last soldier, there also won’t be anyone who surrenders. It’s impossible for you to bring away the pill formulas too. Using this scheme on Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, apart from asking for a scolding, there are no benefits at all.”
Empyrean Pilljade was angered until the muscles on his face were twitching. He did not expect this situation from start to end.
He thought that once the army arrived, wouldn’t a puny little Heavenly Eagle Imperial City tremble with fear and fall apart to pieces?
But who knew that these guys were a bunch of lunatics who did not fear death.
No one escaped!
No one surrendered too!
Just what kind of magical power did Ye Yuan this guy have?
He was clearly already dead. So what were these guys persevering for in the end?
In the end, he gritted his teeth and said in a cold voice, “Very well! Since that’s the case, then all of you can go and die! This Empyrean wants to see if it’s really all tough bones inside this imperial city!”
Finished talking, he flicked his sleeves grandly. Hundreds of Empyreans and countless True Gods charged over, their momentum astonishing!
Chapter 2213. The King Returns! |
“F*cking hell! I haven’t felt my blood boil with excitement like this for so long! Kill! Kill! Kill! Brothers, kill for me!”
On top of the city walls, Long Xiao’s scarred face appeared especially savage, bringing a group of brothers and charging over.
“Everyone, follow Big Brother Xun! Kill this bunch of foolish humans!” Long Xun yelled.
“What are you fighting me for?! Follow Big Brother Tian and finish off all of these bastards!” Long Zhaotian was still competing with Long Xun.
Before coming, Ye Yuan gave them a batch of medicinal pills.
At present, this group of people already all broke through to the Empyrean Realm.
Coupled with the dragon race’s powerful bloodline, their combat power could not be underestimated.
The two camps were akin to two giant curtains in the sky. They were about to gather together very soon.
As for Empyrean Pilljade, these grandmasters, each and every one of them stood with their hands behind their backs, sitting it out and reaping the spoils later.
All of a sudden, a figure interjected between the two main camps.
Empyrean Pilljade’s gaze turned intent and he stopped everyone with a hand gesture, and said with a frown, “Flutterfeather, what’s the meaning of this? Could it be that your Myriad Treasure Tower is really going to wage war with the Southern Border Alliance?”
On the surface, this was a war between Empyreans.
But in reality, it was a group of Heavenly Emperors controlling behind the scenes.
The reason why it was delayed for several decades was because of Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure and the seven great reclusive ancient families.
The Heavenly Emperor faction behind the Southern Border Alliance was competing with these two forces.
In the past, due to Ye Yuan thi
s important figure being around, these two forces naturally brimmed with confidence toward Heavenly Eagle.
But along with the passage of time, the hopes of Ye Yuan returning alive became bleaker and bleaker.
Only then did Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure and the seven great reclusive ancient families gradually reach a compromise.
Otherwise, how could Empyrean Pilljade dare to launch such a large-scale war?
Behind the war that seemed simple, it involved tremendous profits.
Flutterfeather looked towards Empyrean Pilljade and said coolly, “This Empyrean coming today is only representing myself. It has nothing to do with the Myriad Treasure Tower!”
Empyrean Pilljade’s brows furrowed slightly, showing a look of displeasure.
Isn’t this guy causing trouble?
You said that it has nothing to do with the Myriad Treasure Tower and so there is nothing then?
You, Empyrean Flutterfeather, is a high-ranking officer under Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure, an existence that is extremely likely to become an Eight-star Alchemy God in the future.
If you died here, wouldn’t Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure risk it all to fight with me?
At this time, another figure appeared beside Flutterfeather. It was Empyrean Chaoyuan!
“Add in this old man! Younger Brother Flutterfeather, I can’t let you fight alone by yourself!” Empyrean Chaoyuan looked at Flutterfeather and said with a light smile.
Empyrean Pilljade’s expression changed. Empyrean Chaoyuan was a peak Empyrean mighty expert, his strength being not worse than his.
The influence of this fellow’s appearance on the battle situation was big.
Flutterfeather laughed loudly and said, “Elder Brother Chaoyuan, good fellow!”
Empyrean Chaoyuan laughed and said, “This old man is all alone and doesn’t have any fetters. Rather, it’s you who could put aside Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure that old thing and come help out! You’re the one who’s really loyal enough!”
The two exchanged a glance and both bursted out a series of laughter.
Seeing these two people had appeared, Bai Tong and the rest were greatly roused.
Empyrean Pilljade was angered until his expression turned livid. He did not expect that this battle without any suspense would actually repeatedly have a sudden turn of events occur.
Up until now, there did not seem to be a single thing that went his way.
Empyrean Pilljade’s gaze turned intent, and he said in a solemn voice, “Very good! This Empyrean has always admired Brother Chaoyuan’s strength very much. Today, I’ll spar with Brother Chaoyuan!”
As for Empyrean Flutterfeather, their side had a lot of powerhouses. There was naturally someone to handle him.
Empyrean Chaoyuan’s gaze turned sharp, and he said with a big laugh, “You hypocrite, only choose to hear the nice things! This is a life-and-death fight! Who’s sparring with you? Bring it on!”
After he was done talking, Empyrean Chaoyuan’s aura was released fully. The horrifying pressure made the hearts of all the martial artists jump.
If one’s strength did not reach the Empyrean Realm, they were unable to even stand firmly in the air.
This was a peak Ninth Firmament Empyrean top powerhouse.
The moment Ninth Firmament Empyreans moved out, this battle became bewildering and confusing.
Empyrean Pilljade also felt nervous. Empyrean Chaoyuan’s aura was extremely strong and actually faintly had signs of breaking through to the Heavenly Emperor Realm.
“Looks like this old punk obtained great benefits from the Cloudpill Summit last time!” Empyrean Pilljade secretly cursed hatefully.
The moment Empyrean Chaoyuan released his aura, he became somewhat apprehensive.
Once he lost, this fight would really be hard to say!
Empyrean Chaoyuan smiled coldly when he saw the situation and said, “Why? Don’t dare to come anymore, Pilljade brat?”
Pilljade’s face fell and he said in a cold voice, “Who’s scared of whom?!”
Done talking, the power of Ninth Firmament Empyrean was released fully. He actually barely managed to stand up to Empyrean Chaoyuan as equals.
The great battle was at an explosive point!
“Yo, so lively!”
Just as both sides ended up in a deadlock, a voice suddenly sounded out from the void.
This voice … seemed to be a little familiar!
Empyrean Chaoyuan and Empyrean Flutterfeather exchanged a glance, both of their minds quivering.
On Heavenly Eagle’s side, Bai Tong and the rest similarly felt their minds tremble!
“It’s His Excellency! His Excellency didn’t die! His Excellency came back!” Ning Tianping said with wild elation.
At this time, the void vibrated. Three figures emerged.
There was a youth in white clothing in the middle. Who could it be if not Ye Yuan?
“Hahaha, it’s His Excellency! It’s really His Excellency! He didn’t die! He came back!”
“What did I say! His Excellency can’t be killed!”
“His Excellency is mighty!”
“His Excellency is mighty!”
… …
With Ye Yuan appearing, Heavenly Eagle’s side seemed to have been ignited all at once.
Their backbone, their spiritual leader, their king finally returned!
Everyone seemed to have gone mad, shouting, cheering for the lord in their hearts!
At the opposite side, the Southern Border Alliance’s powerhouses were all extremely shocked.
They were seriously unable to imagine that the entire imperial city was cheering for Ye Yuan’s return.
What kind of magical power did this guy have?
Ye Yuan’s feet stepped on an array formation. Looking at Empyrean Pilljade, he smiled lightly and said, “Pilljade, not seeing you for a few years, you’re still such a good-for-nothing!”
Ye Yuan’s sudden appearance gave Empyrean Pilljade a fright.
However, he discovered very quickly that something seemed to be off about Ye Yuan!
He actually did not have a trace of divine essence undulation from head to toe!
Furthermore, Ye Yuan’s vital energy was extremely weak. Clearly, it was a body that was heavily wounded.
It seemed like the rumors about his demise were not a groundless rumor.
It was just that this kid had a tenacious life and actually did not die!
Since he was a cripple, then what did he still take to heart for?
Pilljade laughed coldly and said, “Kid, look at those subjects of yours. How much they looked forward to your return! It’s just a pity that … what awaits them is a cripple! I really don’t know what face a cripple like you still have to come back and be their city lord!”
The moment these words came out, only then did everyone startle awake.
They were all immersed in jubilation earlier and did not notice Ye Yuan’s abnormality.
Now, only upon hearing Empyrean Pilljade’s words did they discover that Ye Yuan’s condition was extremely poor. There … was not even a trace of divine essence undulation!
How could this be?
The Heavenly Eagle side that was still cheering joyfully earlier immediately fell into silence.
No divine essence undulation signified that the small world had completely crumbled.
Then wouldn’t His Excellency … really have become a cripple?
The morale that had just been roused on Heavenly Eagle’s side was immediately squelched.
But Ye Yuan did not mind and said with a faint smile, “So what? With me around, Heavenly Eagle is safe and sound!”
Chapter 2214. Just Running an Errand |
Ye Yuan’s words made the minds of Heavenly Eagle’s people tremble!
His Excellency was still so domineering when speaking!
No idea why, those words coming out of Ye Yuan’s mouth were so convincing.
Even if he was currently just a cripple.
“With you around, Heavenly Eagle is safe and sound? Hahaha … really making this Empyrean die of laughter! A cripple who doesn’t even have divine essence actually dares to say this sort of boast!” Empyrean Pilljade laughed loudly and said.
The big shots on the Southern Border Alliance’s side also all shook their heads one after another and could not help laughing.
A trash who did not even have divine essence, why would they take notice of him?
But Ye Yuan completely ignored Empyrean Pilljade. With a flick of his fingertips, a pale-yellow line appeared between the two main camps. It was as if a line was drawn in the sky.
“Those who cross the line will be killed without mercy!” Ye Yuan’s nonchalant words came out, appearing somewhat careless.
With this, the Southern Border Alliance’s side ridiculed even harder.
“Hahaha, a cripple actually dares to utter this kind of shameless boasting! Everyone, attack for me! I want to see how a cripple can kill us without mercy!” Empyrean Proudcloud jumped around the happiest, bringing a bunch of subordinates and rushing over.
“Wanting to block the entire Southern Border Alliance by drawing a line, you, this cripple, are also overestimating your own ability too much!”
“Everybody attack together! See how this cripple kills without mercy!”
… …
Quite a number of Empyreans completely turned their noses up at Ye Yuan’s threat and brought a large group of people, directly charging over.
When Pilljade saw this scene, he could not help sneering coldly.
Although he was being restrained by Empyrean Chaoyuan, both side’s combat strengths were not on the same level at all.
Ye Yuan’s actions were purely messing around.
The expressions on Heavenly Eagle’s side changed, Bai Tong and the rest were about to rush over.
But Ye Yuan turned around and said coolly, “All back down!”
Everyone’s faces changed, stopping one after another.
Soon, the Southern Border Alliance army broke through that line Ye Yuan drew.
Proudcloud took the lead and said with a cold smile, “Brat, this Empyrean broke through this line now, what can you do to me? Today, this Empyrean is going to …”
Right at this time, Ye Yuan’s fingers snapped lightly, and he said indifferently, “Hundred Schools of Thoughts Nine Profound Heaven Subduing Grand Array, kill!”
