Xiao Ruyan had a doubtful face as she said, “J-Ji Qing, you clearly already lost!”
“H-Haha, I said that I was going to pummel him. H-How can I lose to him?” Ye Yuan’s laughing affected his wounds, hurting him until he contorted his face in agony.
Ye Yuan’s voice had yet to fade when the expression of Zhao Chenggan opposite changed. With a puff, a large mouthful of blood spewed out, and he fell down backward!
This scene was too sudden. Everyone was caught unprepared!
“This . . . What’s going on here?”
“Didn’t His Highness, the Seventh Prince won? Isn’t this plot reversing too quickly?”
“Can it be . . . Ji Qing really created a miracle and became the number one person among the capital’s junior generation from here on forth?”
“My God! With his present realm, who can surpass him in the future?”
All at once, the entire plaza exploded. Sounds of exclamations rose and fell.
This scene was too inconceivable!
Ji Qing was clearly already beaten until heavily injured and dying. In a twinkle, the Seventh Prince could not make it anymore. Instead, Ye Yuan laughed happily. Although he looked very tragic, he was not fearful for his life.
And this match, as long as Ye Yuan won, he would be the right and proper capital’s number one person!
The future position of wind emperor was without a doubt his!
Such glory was not even worth mentioning to Ye Yuan. But to the Fierce Gale World martial artists, it was paramount!
In everyone’s understanding, the Wind Emperor would surely be born between Shangguan Lingyun and Zhao Chenggan, the two of them.
But now, Ye Yuan appeared and utterly upset the entire arrangement!
Under Xiao Ruyan’s aid, Ye Yuan consumed a medicinal pill that he refined himself. His injuries took a turn for the better very swiftly.
While he was still unable to stand up, his complexion already became rosy, and his essence energy was also in the midst of gradual recovery.
Such recovery speed made everyone exclaim in shock again.
“Family Head Xiao, announce the results!” Ye Yuan urged.
“This . . .” Xiao Changfeng looked at the Zhao Chenggan lying on the ground and did not know what to do for a moment.
Ye Yuan said with a slight pant, “His dantian is already damaged by me. It will be hard to have any advancement in this lifetime. So . . . you can announce the results now!”
“What?! Dantian damaged?!” Xiao Changfeng nearly jumped up.
Another thunderbolt out of the blue!
The insufferably arrogant Seventh Prince actually became a cripple?
This . . . Once His Majesty, the Wind Emperor knows of this matter, how enraged would he be?
“Ji . . . Ji Qing! Y-You’re framing me up, digging a pit for the Xiao Family!” Xiao Changfeng stomped in a rage.
But Ye Yuan did not care a hoot as he said, “With my Qixia Mountain backing you up, what are you scared of? Oh right, there’s still something I forgot to tell you.”
As he said, Ye Yuan looked at Xiao Ruyan and said with a faint smile, “Good disciple, come . . . I, Ji Qing, in front of the many heroes in the capital today, take you in as a disciple! Acknowledge Master now!”
“What? A-Acknowledge you as her master?!” Xiao Changfeng felt like his brain was a little lacking.
When did the agreed upon spouse finding martial competition suddenly become acknowledging master?
Xiao Changfeng stared fixedly at Ye Yuan and was so furious that his entire body was trembling.
This move from Ye Yuan was thoroughly cutting the Xiao Family away from the royal family!
Henceforth, the Xiao Family would have to depend on the Qixia Mountain lineage. Or else, they would die without a burial ground!
“What? Does Family Head Xiao think that I, Ji Qing, can’t teach your daughter?” Ye Yuan said coolly.
Xiao Changfeng looked at Ye Yuan and was speechless for a long time. Only after a long while did he wave his hand and said, “Forget it, forget it! My Xiao Family swore fealty to His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, for generation after generation. Who knew that when it reached my, Xiao Changfeng’s, hands, it actually fell to such a plight! The story is played out, and the wood has become a boat. What else do I have to say? Ruyan . . . acknowledge . . . acknowledge him as your master then!”
Xiao Changfeng took a deep look at his daughter and was filled with a vicissitude of emotions.
He never would have thought that today’s spouse finding martial competition would actually develop into such a conclusion.
Obtaining her father’s permission, the final trace of kink in Xiao Ruyan’s heart also vanished like mist and smoke. At once, she bowed solemnly towards Ye Yuan.
“Master is high above. Receive disciple Xiao Ruyan’s bow!”
Ye Yuan laughed and said, “Haha! Good disciple! To think that my, Ji Qing’s, first disciple, is actually a girl as exquisite as a flower! Master’s present strength is meager and doesn’t have anything good to give to you either. This jade slip is used as your master acknowledgment gift. Take it!”
As he said, Ye Yuan passed Xiao Ruyan a jade slip.

Xiao Ruyan received the jade slip hesitantly; her expression was rather vacant.
She agreed to acknowledge Ye Yuan as her master with ulterior motives, and it was not to really learn something.
She did not think that Ye Yuan really prepared a master acknowledgment gift for her.
“Take a look. Master prepared a set of soul cultivation incantation and two sets of refining arts for you. You have to study them well in the future,” Ye Yuan said with a faint smile.
Xiao Ruyan sunk her divine sense into the jade slip as told and started to browse.
This scene looked extremely comical in everyone’s eyes.
Ye Yuan’s divine soul realm was more or less the same as Xiao Ruyan’s; both High-Rank Alchemy Grandmasters. Now, Ye Yuan wanted to take a girl whose strength was relative to his as his disciple. No matter how one looked at it, it was somewhat odd.
“What do you guys Ye Yuan is playing at here? Xiao Ruyan is one of the capital’s dual absolutes. Furthermore, you all look at that concerned look of Xiao Ruyan’s when Ji Qing was injured just now. Clearly in love with him. He actually . . . only took her in to be a disciple?”
“Aggravating me to death! Xiao Ruyan is my goddess! Ji Qing is already the capital’s number one now, and he actually dares to trample on my goddess’s dignity! I . . . I want to duel him!”
“Screw off you! With that strength of yours, it isn’t even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth! Still want to duel! However . . . Ji Qing’s action is really unimaginably weird. He himself is just a high-rank Alchemy Grandmaster. How is he going to teach disciples?”
“In my opinion, this Ji Qing thinks too highly of himself! Even though he’s Sovereign Star Abyss’s disciple, to talk about giving pointers in alchemy to the Alchemy Grandmaster Xiao Ruyan who is his peer, he probably isn’t qualified enough yet, right? I’m very curious though, about what are the things inside his jade slip.”
“Heh heh, what can there be? Simply his own cultivation methods and refining methods. Just that these things, his comprehension is already slightly stronger than Xiao Ruyan, right?”
Master teaching disciples was not a simple imparting of cultivation methods. It was more so to clarify doubts for disciples and give pointers to various problems encountered during the process of cultivation.
Especially alchemy skills. It was deep and profound; hard to learn and hard to be proficient.
Everybody knew that Ye Yuan’s was amazing at alchemy. But regardless of how incredible he was, he was only an Alchemy Grandmaster. Regarding higher realm things, how much could he comprehend?
Imparting soul cultivation methods and refining methods a little and being someone’s master was truly a bi
t too child’s play.
And currently, Xiao Ruyan’s brows were slightly furrowed, and her expression gradually becoming solemn.
“Ji . . . Ji . . .” Xiao Ruyan was clearly not yet used to called Ye Yuan master.
“Call Master!” Ye Yuan said coolly.
Xiao Ruyan sucked in a deep breath and called out, “Master, this . . . Master’s acknowledgment gift is too precious! I . . .”
“Haha. You’re my disciple. Giving pointers in your cultivation is within Master’s duty, what precious? From today onwards, you’ll cultivate the soul cultivation method on the jade slip. But you must promise master that this method absolutely mustn’t be divulged! Only you alone can cultivate it! Otherwise . . . even its flouting teachings, Master . . . will clean the household!” Talking until the back, Ye Yuan’s voice became extremely stern.
Actually, what Ye Yuan gave Xiao Ruyan was the Thousand Augmenting Soul Incantation as well as the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique and the Tri-Origins Samsara Art cultivation skills.
But what he gave Xiao Ruyan was only the first five levels of the Thousand Augmenting Soul Incantation; enough for her to cultivate to Peak Alchemy Sovereign!
Moreover, in the jade slip were extremely detailed annotations about the Thousand Augmenting Soul Incantations and the two types of skills. They were all Ye Yuan’s notes of his understanding.
With these things, no matter how poor one’s talent was, cultivating to Alchemy King Ream was not an issue at all.
With Xiao Ruyan’s talent, cultivating to Peak Alchemy Sovereign was only a matter of time.
In truth, this introduction gift, Ye Yuan considered it carefully too.
Just talking about talent, while Xiao Ruyan was not considered at the zenith, she was already pretty decent.
Xiao Ruyan’s intentions, Ye Yuan was naturally very clear. Furthermore, through this period of living together, Ye Yuan could also trust Xiao Ruyan’s character.
Since that was the case, why not he be a bit more generous and pass down his mantle?
Killing Ji Canglan was a near certain death mission. Even Ye Yuan did not dare guarantee that he could succeed for sure either.
Furthermore, Ye Yuan was about to leave the Fierce Gale World right away. Towards this eldest disciple of his, he could not be shabby no matter what.
Hence, he passed these three things to Xiao Ruyan.
Presumably, with these things, Xiao Ruyan ascending to the Divine Realm in the future would not pose a problem.
Hearing Ye Yuan’s warning, Xiao Ruyan’s expression changed too and knew how great the weight of this jade slip in her hand was.
Xiao Ruyan was an expert too. Sweeping the contents of the jade slip over, she knew the value of this jade slip.
She acknowledged him as her master was to get close to Ye Yuan, but Ye Yuan really took her to be his legacy successor.
After musing, Xiao Ruyan nodded solemnly and said, “R-Rest assured, Master. Disciple will engrave the contents inside the jade slip into my divine soul to slowly understand and absolutely won’t reveal it to a third person to know!”
Ye Yuan nodded and said, “Okay, this matter is done. Master’s injuries aren’t light and still need to head back and recuperate a bout. You follow me back to Qixia Mountain then.”
Xiao Ruyan nodded slightly and actually really supported Ye Yuan like a disciple and left.
Ye Yuan nodded slightly at Shi Haoran. The party was just about to leave when all of a sudden, a dozen over figures descended from the skies and blocked their path.
The one in front was an old man with age much alike Star Abyss’s.
And looking from the aura coming off of this person’s body, he was actually a Divine Traversing Realm martial artist!
“Ding Liang! What are you here for?” When Shi Haoran saw the arrival, his brows involuntarily knitted.
The old man called Ding Liang did not pay attention to Shi Haoran and said indifferently, “The Dark Shadow Guards are handling affairs. Unrelated personnel quickly leave! Otherwise, kill without amnesty!”
Ding Liang’s voice was not loud, but it spread out like a large bell. Every single person in the plaza heard it loud and clear!
“Dark Shadow Guards! It’s actually the most mysterious Dark Shadow Guards under the Wind Emperor’s command!”
“I-Is this the power of a sovereign level powerhouse? S-So powerful!”
“What are you still standing there for? If you don’t want to die, quickly go! I heard that the Dark Shadow Guards have extremely high autonomy when handling matters and can execute on the spot before reporting! If we don’t leave, we’ll die a pointless death!”
There were tens of thousands of people in the plaza. But currently, they retreated like tidewater.
Very soon, in the vast plaza, only Ye Yuan’s group and Ding Liang’s group were left!
“Ding Liang, what the hell are you doing?” Shi Haoran asked again unhappily.
Although he was a full major realm lower than Ding Liang, in terms of status, he was not inferior to Ding Liang. Hence, he dared to directly call his name.
Shi Haoran was the number one person under Star Abyss. Other than needing to give a disciple’s bow when facing the Wind Emperor, he could directly disregard other people.
Ding Liang still did not answer. He took a look at the unconscious Zhao Chenggan not far away and his brows involuntarily furrowed. He asked Ye Yuan, “His Highness, the Seventh Prince, was defeated by you?”
Not knowing why, since the beginning earlier, Ye Yuan’s eyelids kept twitching constantly and had an uneasy feeling.
He had a feeling that this Ding Liang did not come with good intentions.
Seeing Ding Liang pose a question, Ye Yuan said, “So what if yes? Can it be that you want to take revenge for him?”
“Haha, taking revenge naturally won’t reach this old man’s turn! Ye Yuan, take a trip with me!” Ding Liang said with a light laugh.
Chapter 434

Ye Yuan was secretly alarmed. But he had an indifferent look on his face as he said, “Are you talking to me? However, did you call the wrong name?”
Ding Liang said expressionlessly, “I didn’t call the wrong name. You’re well aware in your heart. However . . . you actually defeated His Highness, the Seventh Prince, to this extent. His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, most likely won’t let you return.”
Shi Haoran’s face fell as he said, “Ding Liang! You don’t say some things here that make neither head nor tails to confuse the public! Just spit out what you have to say! But if you want to touch Little Junior Brother, go past me first!”
Ding Liang looked at Shi Haoran and said with a smile, “You call him as your little junior brother repeatedly. Do you know his true identity?”
Shi Haoran said with a cold smile, “Your meaning is that Master Star Abyss is blind to take Little Junior Brother in as a disciple?”
Ding Liang’s expression faltered slightly. Shi Haoran bringing out Star Abyss this great Buddha involuntarily made him have to reply carefully.
Although Star Abyss’s realm was similar to his, he was a character that even the Wind Emperor dreaded!
Moreover, Star Abyss being protective of his people was known to all. If one really infuriated him, he would do anything.
“Of course I don’t have this meaning. But . . . maybe Lord Star Abyss is also kept in the dark?” Ding Liang obviously would not fall for it.
“Humph! If Little Junior Brother really deceived Master Star Abyss, there will naturally be his elderly self to punish. When did it come to your Dark Shadow Guards to carry out a superfluous action? Little Junior Brother, let’s go!” Shi Haoran said with a cold snort.
As he said, Shi Haoran brought his fellow apprentices and prepared to circle around Ding Liang to leave.
How could Ding Ling let them go? With a slight shift in footsteps, he blocked in front of them again.
Shi Haoran’s brows furrowed
and his tone gradually chilled. “Ding Liang, are you bent on instigating antagonism between the Royal Family and the Alchemist Association?”
Ding Liang shook his head and said, “Alchemy King Shi doesn’t need to be like this. Ding Liang is also here on orders. Your little junior brother is a spy who had infiltrated from the Endless World. This point is already conclusive beyond all doubt! If Alchemy King Shi doesn’t believe, you can ask him yourself!”
Shi Haoran’s heart plummeted and was invariably caught in a dilemma.
In truth, through Ding Liang’s words earlier, Shi Haoran already had some suspicions. But he was still not willing to believe that this was true from the bottom of his heart.
After musing for a moment, Shi Haoran forcefully pressed down the doubts in his heart and said to Ding Liang, “This matter is much too important. Want to ask, it’s also not my turn to ask! I’ll bring Little Junior Brother back right now. Master Star Abyss he will handle it impartially!”
Ding Liang’s face fell and wished that he could kill Shi Haoran with one palm!
Handle my *ss impartially!
If you bring this boy back, you all will close your doors to ‘handle impartially.’ At that time, do I have to go before Star Abyss to ask for him?
“No way! This matter is already investigated clearly! Alchemy King Shi has no need to go back and ask Lord Star Abyss! I’m bringing away Ye Yuan right now. When the time comes, His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, will explain to Lord Star Abyss personally!” Ding Liang said immediately.
“I said earlier, want to touch Little Junior Brother, pass me first! Ding Liang, if you have the capabilities, then kill me!” Shi Haoran said angrily.
“You!” Ding Liang was so angered that he was spouting smoke from seven orifices.
As they spoke, both party’s gunpowder smell gradually thickened, with the manner of a single word of disagreement and they would fight.
But,if they really fought, Ye Yuan’s side would definitely be at a huge disadvantage!
The other party not only had Ding Liang this Divine Traversing Realm powerhouse, but the others were also mostly Soul Sea Realm experts too.
