Ye Yuan said with a cold smile, “When you all were killing those fellow sect members of mine below the mountain, did you ever thought about showing mercy? If I didn’t make it over here in time today, most likely, the Tranquil Cloud Sect would not have even fowls or dogs spared anymore, right? Therefore . . . all of you go and die!”

Looking at the corpses scattered everywhere, Zhang Jing was dumbfounded for a long time.
Only a short three months or so had passed, and Ye Yuan was already an existence on a completely different level from them these fellow apprentices.
Not only did he rise a full major realm, he even had the strength to instantly kill a Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm in terms of combat strength already!
Crossing a major realm to battle. This was something that Zhang Jing did not even dare to imagine. But Ye Yuan accomplished it effortlessly.
Recalling back when he left Ye Yuan into the sect, Zhang Jing had a feeling like it was a whole other life.
That young man not far away was destined to be someone from a different world from them mere mortals!
“A few months of not seeing him, Junior Apprentice Brother Ye actually already matured to such a level!” Zhang Jing muttered under his breath.
In truth, the astonishment in Mo Yuntian’s heart was not much lesser than Zhang Jing’s. Although he knew that Ye Yuan’s present combat power was stunning, this was his first time truly seeing it!
Killing a Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm in one move, the shock from such an impact was too great.
Hearing Zhang Jing’s emotional sigh, Mo Yuntian said in relief, “It was also thanks to Ye Yuan. Otherwise, the few of us would have long died in a foreign land. These fellow sect apprentices would probably also die without a burial ground!”
Mei Zhen and the rest crowded in front of Ye Yuan and asked concernedly, “Ye Yuan, your body still isn’t fully recovered. Are you alright?”
Ye Yuan shook his head and said, “Not a big issue.”
Compared to the fight with Zhao Chenggan, this earlier could only be said to be a warm-up.
Likewise, Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm, the disparity between the two was too great!
Mei Zhen nodded and said, “Good that you’re fine! Ye Yuan, you’re the Tranquil Cloud Sect’s final hope now. You must take care not to force things.”
“Thank you for Elder Mei’s concern. I’ll take notice.”
“En. Now that the sect is already broken up, where . . . should we go?”
When Mei Zhen said these words, everyone perked their ears up, wanting to hear what Ye Yuan would say.
At this time now, Ye Yuan was already where all of Tranquil Cloud Sect’s hopes lay.
Even Mei Zhen this Sea Transformation Realm elder also quietly took Ye Yuan as the person in charge of things.
Ye Yuan ruminated for a moment and said, “Since Grand Elder, Sect Master Luo, and the rest are not dead, we obviously have to think of ways to rescue them out! But we aren’t the Purple Mansion Sect’s match right now. Therefore . . . we can only wait!”
“Wait? Wait for what?” Mei Zhen did not quite understand Ye Yuan’s intentions and asked in puzzlement.
“Wait for an opportunity! I believe that the Purple Mansion Sect will discover that something unforeseen happened on here on the Tranquil Cloud Sect’s side very soon. They are bound to send even stronger martial artists over here! And what we need to do is to stand fast at this final piece of locus of the Southern Domain and wait for the Northern Domain’s response!” Ye Yuan said.
When these words of Ye Yuan came out, everyone’s faces changed.
“You’re saying, we are to defend the Tranquil Cloud Sect to the death?” Mei Zhen asked in surprise.
“That’s right!”
“But . . . Ye Yuan, I know that you’re very strong and that there are already very few Sea Transformation Realm martial artists that can threaten your existence. But you have to know that the Purple Mansion Sect has over a dozen Soul Sea Realm powerhouses!” Mei Zhen reminded.
He did not know where Ye Yuan’s confidence came from.
Although it was hard to comprehend that Ye Yuan could deal with Sea Transformation Realm martial artists, the reality happened right before his eyes. He had no choice but to accept it.
Yet to say that Ye Yuan could deal with Soul Sea Realm powerhouses, he would not believe it even if he was pummeled to death either!
Take ten thousand steps back to say, even if Ye Yuan could really deal with Soul Sea Realm martial artists, the Purple Mansion Sect had over a dozen Soul Sea Realms!
Could it be that Ye Yuan could sweep them clean all at once?
Ye Yuan said with a smile, “Of course I won’t be foolish enough to clash head-on with Soul Sea Realm powerhouses. However . . . we still have the sect protecting grand array, don’t we?”
“Sect protecting grand array?” Mei Zhen was stunned, and then he said in bewilderment, “Without Soul Sea Realm martial artists or a powerhouse with Sect Master’s level of strength, the sect protecting grand array simply can’t unleash power at all! Furthermore, even if they are here presiding over the array formation, they can at most withstand early-stage Soul Sea Realm martial artists. But the Purple Mansion Sect’s Sect Master is a late-stage Soul Sea Realm powerhouse!”
Ye Yuan did not reply Mei Zhen’s words, but he swept a glance over the Tranquil Cloud Sect’s remaining disciples, saying coolly, “I wonder if my fellow seniors and juniors . . . can trust me, Ye Yuan?”
These few hundred Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples remaining could be said to all be the Tranquil Cloud Sect’s elite disciples. The majority of them were Crystal Formation Realm martial artists.
These people all willingly stayed behind to share life and death together with the sect, for the sake of striving for time for that batch of elite disciples to escape.
In truth, before this, they had the chance to flee helter-skelter. But they chose to stay behind to die without prior consultation!
From this, it could be seen how great the Tranquil Cloud Sect’s cohesive strength was!
It was precisely because so that Ye Yuan was unbelievably furious at those Purple Mansion Sect disciples who invaded and exterminated every last one of them.
Seeing Ye Yuan raising a question, these disciples could not help exchanging glances.
Actually, using one’s brain to think about it, standing fast and on defensive in the Tranquil Cloud Sect was a terrible plan. The Purple Mansion Sect practically already unified the Endless World’s Southern Domain. The Tranquil Cloud Sect was already a lone island.
As long as the Purple Mansion Sect wanted, they could focus all of their firepowers to attack the Tranquil Cloud Sect!
Relying on a sect protecting grand array at this time to withstand a bunch of Soul Sea Realm powerhouses, this was something that only a moron would do!
Yet, the problem was that was Ye Yuan a moron? Or perhaps, Ye Yuan was deliberately making them jump into a fire pit?
If Ye Yuan did it in order to send them to their deaths, why would he take such a superfluous action earlier and save them?
“Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, I believe you!”
“Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, our lives were saved by you! You ask us to die, we absolutely won’t furrow our brows!”
“Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, we’ll fight with you!”
. . . . . .
After a moment of silence, those Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples’ supporting voices surged over like floodwaters!
Ye Yuan already used strength and used action to thoroughly subjugate them!
On the juncture that the Tranquil Cloud Sect was already to be annihilated, it was Ye Yuan who came forward and tried and turn back the tides. What right did they have to not trust Ye Yuan?
Seeing this scene, everyone had a feeling of their hot blood boiling!
In this instant, t
he Purple Mansion Sect which was powerful until it made people feel suffocated did not seem so scary anymore either!
“Good! Since my fellow seniors and juniors all trust me, Ye Yuan, we’ll all fight a good one with the Purple Mansion Sect together! Let them see that our Tranquil Cloud Sect is not to be trifled with!” Ye Yuan yelled out loud and clear.
“F*ck the Purple Mansion Sect! We want to make them pay blood for blood!”
“Blood for blood!”
“Blood for blood!”
. . . . . .
These people were not foreign to Ye Yuan. Ever since he entered the Tranquil Cloud Sect, he created once miracle after another.
And today, who knew if he could create another miracle?
Ye Yuan’s might already completely stirred up these peoples’ hot blood!
These fellow apprentices did not lack the spirit of looking death calmly in the face. What they lacked was powerful confidence!
And today, Ye Yuan gave them confidence!
Ye Yuan extended his hand and pressed down, gesturing for everyone to quiet down.
He called out in a clear voice, “From today onwards, our Tranquil Cloud Sect will activate the Yin-Yang Turbid Heaven Grand Array, and we’ll completely seal the mountain! I’ll refine medicinal pills for everybody to raise everyone’s strength as quickly as possible! At that time, I’ll need to borrow every senior’s and junior’s strength. We’ll defend together the Southern Domain’s final lone island!”

The following few days, Ye Yuan sank into an extremely busy schedule.
He first refined several transcendent-grade Essence Vigor Pills, and he finally replenished the lost blood essence fully.
As one of the Eight Great Sects, although the Tranquil Cloud Sect had declined awfully, they still had a considerable reserve of Tier 3 spirit medicines. There were enough for Ye Yuan to refine.
When Ye Yuan was refining pills, Xiao Ruyan acted as an assistant by the side. She took Ye Yuan’s entire pill refinement process fully into her eyes.
Coming out from the pill refinement room, Xiao Ruyan’s entire person was in a state of stupor.
Only when she observed Ye Yuan’s pill refinement in close distance did she finally know how formidable this Master she acknowledged.
Ye Yuan was clearly refining Tier 3 medicinal pill, but Xiao Ruyan actually could not understand Ye Yuan’s refinement technique.
Xiao Ruyan’s standards were not low. But it was precisely so that she had an even deeper understanding of how high Ye Yuan’s standards were.
This could be said as unintentionally planting a willow tree, and the willow tree would become a shade. Xiao Ruyan suddenly felt that she was too fortunate. Not only could she be together with Ye Yuan, but she could also even raise her alchemy skills.
Next, Ye Yuan made use of the Square Cauldron to refine a large batch of Tier 2 and Tier 3 medicinal pills and distributed them to the sect’s disciples.
The result was that a few days later, columns of essence energy storms formed in the Tranquil Cloud Sect. There were disciples successfully breaking through everywhere.
Many disciples were stuck in the state of Peak Spirit Condensation Realm. This batch of medicinal pills created a large batch of Crystal Formation Realm disciples.
There were even a minority of Peak Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realm disciples who broke through to the Sea Transformation Realm without a hitch after consuming the medicinal pills that Ye Yuan refined!
The strength of the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples rose a level collectively!
After the disciples noticed such a transformation, their admiration for Ye Yuan all reached a degree that could not be surpassed.
For a moment, Ye Yuan’s prestige reached the pinnacle. His prestige among the disciples right now was most likely no longer inferior to Sect Master Luo Qingfeng.
When the disciples there were all breaking through, Ye Yuan brought Mei Zhen to the center of the Tranquil Cloud Sect’s array formation.
“Ye Yuan, you say that you want to restart the Yin-Yang Turbid Heaven Grand Array. Could it be that us, these remnant troops and defeated soldiers, can really rely on this grand array to resist those Soul Sea Realm powerhouses?” Mei Zhen still asked half believing, half doubtfully.
The power of the array formation not only hinged on the rank of the array formation, it even relied on the level of the person controlling the array formation.
Right now, the strongest among them was also Mei Zhen, this Sea Transformation Realm. Moreover, he was utterly ignorant about array formations and completely could not unleash the power of the grand array,
Mei Zhen knew that Ye Yuan’s formation path attainments were exceedingly high. However, he was only Crystal Formation Realm, Even if he managed the array formation, could he withstand the wanton bombardment of Soul Sea Realms?
This was not inside the mystic realm where Ye Yuan could play his opponent to death inside the array formation. Soul Sea Realm martial artists would definitely break the formation with force. When the time came, how should they withstand?
Ye Yuan said with a smile, “Of course I can’t sustain by myself. But don’t we still have so many seniors and juniors?”
Mei Zhen said in surprise, “But these sect disciples all don’t know array formations!”
Ye Yuan said, “Doesn’t matter if they don’t know. I just need to know.”
Mei Zhen was speechless. “. . . . . .”
Up until now, Mei Zhen did not know what Ye Yuan wanted to do either.
Although he had doubts in his heart, he knew that Ye Yuan would not do reckless things and would not treat the lives of the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples as a joke.
“Fine then. Even if you have a way, the Yin-Yang Turbid Heaven Grand Array . . . seem to only be able to deal with Early-Stage Soul Sea Realm martial artists, right?” Mei Zhen said.
“Haha. When I just entered the sect, I discovered that this array formation has many flaws, resulting in the power of the array formation to be greatly discounted. Fortunately, the Southern Domain still didn’t have any formidable adversaries at that time so the sect could protect itself,” Ye Yuan said with a light laugh.
Mei Zhen said with a frown, “You mean to say that . . . the power of this array formation far exceeds this?”
Ye Yuan nodded and said, “That’s right. The Yin-Yang Turbid Heaven Grand Array is a Quasi-Tier 5 array formation; It is ample to withstand a Peak Soul Sea Realm’s full powered attack! What does a mere Seventh Level Soul Sea Realm even count as?”
Mei Zhen exclaimed in surprise, “T-There’s actually such a thing? But the people in the sect thought that this is a Low-Rank Tier 4 array formation all along!”
“If my conjectures are right, this array formation should have had some losses when the Tranquil Cloud Sect was forced to move southwards. Maybe the array formation was missing some necessary parts. Maybe even the array formation itself was lost, and the array master relied on his own comprehension to restore the array formation, but there were deficiencies within!” Ye Yuan said.
In fact, Ye Yuan’s conjectures were already very close to the truth. Back then, when the Tranquil Cloud Sect moved southwards, large quantities of records all went missing to some extent.
Even the two most important articles of the sect’s cultivation methods were lost, let alone an array formation.
Back then, a Soul Sea Realm array master only comprehended this set of array formation to an 80% standard. He could only restore this set of array formation to this degree.
The array master later attempted to complete the Yin-Yang Turbid Heaven Grand Array. But this set of array formation was rather profound. He did not restore it even till his own death.
In a blink, a thousand years passed. The Tranquil Cloud Sect’s people had long forgotten this segment of history and even thought that this set of array formation was a Low-Rank Tier 4 array formation.
/>
But the Southern Domain martial artists’ strength was not strong. This set of half-baked sect protecting grand array was also barely sufficient to use.
However, a Late-Stage Soul Sea Realm martial artist appeared in the Southern Domain now. This set of array formation was clearly inadequate already.
“T-There was actually such a thing. I’m an elder and actually don’t know a whit as well,” Mei Zhen said powerlessly.
Ye Yuan said with a smile, “With my present realm, I naturally can’t set up the Yin-yang Turbid Heaven Grand Array. But the sect protecting grand array is a complete grand array. If it’s just modifying a little and completing the array formation, I can still manage it. Unless the Fierce Gale World ‘s Divine Traversing Realm powerhouses can cross the passageway, nobody can break in!”
Hearing Ye Yuan’s explanation, Mei Zhen was also brimming with confidence at this moment. But, he heaved a sigh and said, “For our Tranquil Cloud Sect to be able to take in a disciple like you, it’s seriously the sect’s lucky stars!”
Ye Yuan said smilingly, “Why does Elder Mei say that? Since I joined the sect, I’m naturally a part of the Tranquil Cloud Sect. When the sect is in trouble, I should offer a portion of strength. We just have to hold on to the Tranquil Cloud Sect, and the Purple Mansion Sect will be unable to set up the situation in the Southern Domain leisurely. As long as the Northern Domain reacts, the Purple Mansion Sect being destroyed is something inevitable! It’s just that we must hurry before the realm passageway completely links up and let the Northern Domain’s various sects know about the events that happened in the Southern Domain.”
Mei Zhen perceived the meaning in Ye Yuan’s word and said somberly, “Ye Yuan, don’t need to be so courteous with me. Whatever instructions you have, just say it.”
Ye Yuan nodded and said, “Elder Mei knows the whole story about the matter. I’m thinking of letting you go to the Northern Domain to notify the Myriad Sword Sect, Heavenly Martial Sect, and the Profound Ice Sect, these three sects, and make them send people to aid the Southern Domain and eradicate the Purple Mansion Sect! This situation at present, only Elder Mei alone has the capabilities to take on this mission.”
