Blackflame Sect’s old ancestor only heaved a long sigh in relief when he saw Ning Yixian’s expression.
No matter what, this round at present was considered passed.
Before long, Ye Yuan brought Liu Hong, the four of them, and slowly entered the assembly hall.
Ning Yixian’s gaze locked onto Ye Yuan firmly, his gaze revealing astonishment.
“Alliance chiefs, are you all well?” Ye Yuan said.
Ning Yixian came back to his senses. Grabbing hold of Ye Yuan’s arm, he said in delight, “Younger Brother Ye Yuan, this improvement speed of yours is too exaggerated! Before entering the Vast Heaven Pagoda, you were only Second Level Sea Transformation. Not even a month’s time has passed and you actually already broke through to Eighth Level Sea Transformation. Truly giving Elder Brother, I, a shock!”
The originally tense atmosphere in the hall was thoroughly broken by Ye Yuan’s return, letting them all loosen up considerably.
Yet, only at this time when they heard Ning Yixian say so, did everyone finally startle awake abruptly.
Taking part in the trial once, less than a month’s time from start to finish, and actually broke through six boundaries all at once! This was also too exaggerated!
But Ye Yuan said carelessly, “Huhu, obtained some lucky chances in the Vast Heaven Pagoda. That’s why I had some breakthroughs.”
Ning Yixian’s expression became nervous as he asked, “Which level did Younger Brother Ye reach in the end?”
With him asking, everyone perked their ears up.
They were all very curious what level Ye Yuan reached in the end.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “The eighth level.”
The sound of drawing in cold breaths immediately sounded out inside the assembly hall.
“This . . . This isn’t a joke, right? The eighth level! In these ten thousand years, only one person made it to the eighth level!”
“Doesn’t that mean that Ye Yuan is on par with the number one genius in ten thousand years? My God, this is also too inconceivable!”
“Do you guys think that he is bragging? The seventh level is already very heaven-defying. The eighth level . . .”
“Brag your head! Before Ye Yuan came out, he had two consecutive Perfect Completions. Making it to the eighth level is fame following credit, right? Furthermore, with Old Hai and those four great geniuses present, this sort of lie would be exposed straight away, okay?”
How could they know that Ye Yuan was not boasting but was too reserved?
Ning Yixian said in excitement when he heard that, “Younger Brother Ye is truly a genius among geniuses. To actually have even greater talent than the Grand Yan True Lord several thousand years ago! Congratulations, Younger Brother! With Younger Brother’s talent, ascending to the Divine Realm will be close at hand!”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Rice has to be eaten mouthful by mouthful. I’m only Sea Transformation Realm right now. There still a very long way to go before ascension!”
Hearing these words, Ning Yixian’s appraisal of Ye Yuan in his heart grew considerably.
Compared to Guo Taoqun they all, although Ye Yuan was young, he was much more level-headed.
“Oh, right, there’s something that I want to tell everybody. Everyone has to be mentally prepared. The Vast Heaven Pagoda . . . is already gone!”

“What did you say?! The Vast Heaven Pagoda . . . is gone?” Qin Hongtao nearly jumped up.
Ning Yixian and Jing Xuan’s expressions changed drastically too. Their gazes looked towards Ye Yuan heatedly, waiting for his explanation.
In contrast, although the others present there were also shocked, their reactions were not as exaggerated as Ning Yixian the three of them.
There was even a bit of gloating over others’ misfortunes in the eyes of a small portion of the people. After all, the Vast Heaven Pagoda belonged to the Three Sects. Whether it disappeared or not did not have too big a relation with them.
“Grandfather, not long after Ye Yuan came out and we were just about to leave the Vast Heaven Mystic Realm, all of a sudden, the earth trembled, and the mountains swayed. The Vast Heaven Mystic Realm actually detached from the ground and flew away!” Qin Yan spoke before the others could.
Ning Yixian and Jing Xuan both looked at their disciples. Guo Taoqun and Yin Yanhua both nodded slightly.
The three great head disciples testifying together, the convincingness was already rather strong.
After a long while, Ning Yixian finally heaved a sigh and said, “Forget it, forget it, it’s also not what we can control. At the moment, it’s not the time to pursue this either. Let’s continue discussing how to resolve the matter of Crimsonlight City. Ye Yuan, you came back just in time. The Fierce Gale World has been advancing all the way like splitting bamboo, and they already fought until almost reaching Crimsonlight City. You come up with ideas too. Oh yeah, where’s Old Hai?”
Ye Yuan gave a slight smile and said, “Old Hai said that he had other matters. You make the call here will do.”
As he was talking, Ye Yuan sat down at the seat closest to the right-hand seat, while Liu Hong, the four of them, actually followed and stood behind him, rather like followers.
The four people’s actions made all the old ancestors greatly surprised.
These four people’s statuses were extremely high. Even when compared to some sects’ Divine Traversing Realm elders, they were about the same too.
Because with these four people’s talents, they were bound to become Divine Traversing Realms in the future, even Peak Divine Traversing Realm experts.
These four people actually stood behind Ye Yuan like underlings. The astonishment in their hearts could be imagined.
Ning Yixian trio faintly had some guesses but did not change their expressions, treating it like they did not see it.
As for the others, they all knew that Qi Hai kept these four people behind independently, but did not know why such a sight would appear now.
“Ahem!” Ning Yixian coughed lightly and said, “Younger Brother Ye is able and resourceful. Since he came back as well, I’ll briefly explain the current Northern Domain situation for him and let him give ideas too!”
Ye Yuan was not courteous and said with a nod, “I’ll have to trouble Alliance Chief Ning!”
To let the Endless Alliance’s Alliance Chief personally repeat the war situation, Ye Yuan could also be considered a special one.
Although Ye Yuan was still Sea Transformation Realm, among the people present, there was already nobody who saw him as a junior anymore.
This young man’s potential was too great!
Even though several thousand years had passed, the Grand Yan True Lord’s name was still very resounding.
Ye Yuan walked even further in the Vast Heaven Pagoda than the Grand Yan True Lord. One could imagine just how great his future accomplishments would be.
Furthermore, behind Ye Yuan still stood leviathans like Wu Fang City and Qi Hai. Unless one could kill Ye Yuan soundlessly, otherwise, he was bound to be a god-like figure in the Endless World in the future.
These old ancestors were not fools. How could they possibly do something like digging their own graves?
Ning Yixian did not find it troublesome either, roughly repeating the current situation.
Ye Yuan did not speak. He just listened the whole time quietly.
Although what Ning Yixian said was not considered detailed, Ye Yuan discerned that the Endless World was currently in a very unfavorable situation right now too.
Moreover, from the information that Ning Yixian revealed by accident, Ye Yuan discovered that these heavyweights still underestimated the Fierce Gale World’s martial artists, resulting in immensely grievous losses.
These old ancestors each had selfish motives. How could they band together like strands of rope to resist the Fierce Gale World?
/> Actually, this sort of situation, Ye Yuan had long predicted it. He was naturally not surprised either.
“Younger Brother Ye Yuan, I wonder what views you have regarding the present war situation?” In the end, Ning Yixian asked Ye Yuan for advice.
Everyone’s gaze focused on Ye Yuan, all wanting to hear his thoughts.
Fighting a month’s war with the Fierce Gale World muddle-headedly, other than knowing that the Fierce Gale World martial artists were very strong, these people really did not know much about other information.
Each time Fierce Gale World martial artists reached a place, not even fowls and dogs would be left. There was simply not much information transmitted out.
Hence, while the Endless Alliance looked to be powerful, they actually have not really fought in close quarters much with the Fierce Gale World up until now.
But Crimsonlight City’s situation at present did not permit the Endless Alliance to shrink back anymore.
Ye Yuan mused for a moment and said coolly, “Crimsonlight City this battle must be fought no matter what!”
Ning Yixian was not surprised. He nodded and said, “I think so too. I was just about to send the Blackflame Sect to go and assist, and you came back.”
Blackflame Sect’s old ancestor’s heart thumped as he thought to himself, it’s here again!
At this time now, if anyone were to step forward to sing a different tune, then that person would be the entire Endless World’s public enemy; he would come to no good end.
Ye Yuan shot an indifferent glance at the Blackflame Sect old ancestor’s expression and shook his head and said, “I’ll go.”
Everyone was first stunned, then taken aback!
This action of Ye Yuan’s seriously exceeded everyone’s expectations.
“You? This . . . This isn’t appropriate, right?” Ning Yixian said hesitantly.
Ye Yuan was Ren Xingchun’s grandson and a junior that Qi Hai regarded highly and more so, the Endless World’s future hope.
Such an important character, how could he possibly go to the front lines personally to fight in the war? Furthermore, it was going to the most dangerous place?
The Fierce Gale World’s five-way great army had besieged Crimsonlight City. It was the place in the most desperate situation among all the front lines.
The Fierce Gale World was so powerful, how could Crimsonlight City be that easy to defend?
What if Ye Yuan died there? Ren Xingchun and Qi Hai would both fly off the handle!
But Ye Yuan said coolly, “Nothing inappropriate about it. Crimsonlight City mustn’t be lost. Once it’s lost, half of the Northern Domain will be lost too. At that time, the people will be plunged into misery and suffering. None of us can shoulder this responsibility! Furthermore, the Fierce Gale World’s five-way great army has already surrounded Crimsonlight City until not a drop of water can leak through right now. Once the city is breached, countless martial artists will suffer! So no matter what, Crimsonlight City has to be defended! I see that everyone doesn’t have the intention of going. Then what’s wrong with me going? You all don’t need to be worried about Old Man Ren and Old Hai. My matters, I’ll make the call myself. When something happens, they won’t find you!”
Having their thoughts exposed by Ye Yuan, Ning Yixian said rather awkwardly, “Younger Brother Ye, you’re mistaken. You’re our Endless World’s hope. What you need to do now should be to increase your strength as fast as possible. Risking danger yourself isn’t a wise move!”
Ye Yuan said smilingly, “What can increase strength faster than fighting? Alright, my decision is set. Lord Alliance Chief, there is no need to argue on this.”
“This . . . Alright then. I’ll send more experts to follow you. At that time, there will be people to look after too. If the matter can’t be accomplished, you still have to do your best to protect yourself! In my eyes, ten Crimsonlight Cities are not as important as one Ye Yuan!” Ning Yixian said firmly.
This was not Ning Yixian saying flattery. Ever since knowing that Ye Yuan made it to the eighth level, his view was already the same as Qi Hai.
Whether the Endless World could drive back the Fierce Gale World or not might fall onto Ye Yuan!
Who knew that Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, “No need. Just need the four of them to follow me will do.”

“Just the five of them go? What’s the difference from nobody going?”
“What can five people do? Ye Yuan his strength is strong, but when placed among thousands upon thousands of soldiers and horses, it probably won’t have any much impact either, right?”
“It can’t be that after making it to the Vast Heaven Pagoda’s eighth level, he doesn’t know what’s his own surname already, right? No matter how powerful he is now, he’s merely just a Sea Transformation Realm. Even if he can cross boundaries to battle, the Soul Sea Realms in Crimsonlight City are as many as carps crossing the river! Just the Peak Soul Sea Realm martial artists are not in the minority too!”
With Ye Yuan saying this, below immediately discussed animatedly.
Although everybody had long accepted Ye Yuan’s might, the war between two worlds and individual battles were a whole other thing.
Regardless of how powerful the martial artist, when placed among thousands of martial artists, it was still insignificant.
Even Peak Divine Traversing Realm powerhouses could not endure the exhaustion of large numbers of martial artists too!
Ye Yuan saying to use the five of them to go there and assist. Wasn’t this a joke?
“Ye Yuan, one mustn’t act without due consideration! I know that you’re very confident in yourself, but Crimsonlight City’s situation now is very unfavorable. It’s best for you to bring some more people along. The five of you going simply makes no difference to the war situation at all!” Ning Yixian urged earnestly.
Ye Yuan said with a smile, “This trip, I have a pretty clear idea in mind. Having more people will be inconvenient instead. Lord Alliance Chief rest assured, Ye Yuan absolutely won’t treat his own life as a joke. However, there are a few things that I hope Alliance Chief will promise me.”
Seeing Ye Yuan very persistent appearance, Ning Yixian knew that he could not sway him either and could only say, “Just say those things you need.”
Ye Yuan nodded and said, “Most of the cities in the vicinity of Crimsonlight City had already fallen. It has pretty much become a lone city already. But behind Crimsonlight City, there are still two important cities. One is Fairsun City, the other Perpetual Peace City. If the Fierce Gale World’s great army fails to conquer Crimsonlight City for a long time, it’s very likely to leave Crimsonlight City aside to go and attack those two cities. These two cities must be guarded heavily. Once something happens, Crimsonlight City will completely fall into the Fierce Gale World’s scope of influence. Then it will really be a lone city.”
Ning Yixian nodded and said, “I got it. What else is there?”
“Additionally, prepare a batch of medicinal herbs for me. I have a use for it. As for the specifics of what medicinal herbs to prepare, I’ll send people to deliver here later. It must be prepared completely before tomorrow morning!” Ye Yuan said.
“The alliance’s alchemy arrangements are all in charge by City Lord Ren. However many medicinal herbs you require, just directly get them from him will do,” Ning Yixian said.
Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, “I won’t go through that trouble. I assume that he’s very busy right now too. Alright, Ye Yuan still hasn’t paid respects to parents after returning to Wu Fang City. I’ll head back to City Lord Manor first.”
Finished talking, he said to the four people behind, “You three stay behind for the time being. Liu Hong follow me back to City Lord Manor. Tomorrow morning, the three of you bring the medicinal herbs and gather at City Lord Manor’s entrance.”
“Yes!” The four people acknowledged
his words.
Leaving behind Qin Yan trio was naturally for the sake of letting them bid farewell to their family elders.
From now onwards, they would have the identities of being his followers, and not those proud children of heaven enjoying myriad of adorations in the past.
After Ye Yuan left, this meeting had no way of continuing either.
Originally, they were discussing who to send to Crimsonlight City. Who knew that Ye Yuan actually charged out and directly took on this assignment.
Especially the Blackflame Sect’s old ancestor who was secretly whistling lucky at this time and had some gratitude towards Ye Yuan.
Ning Yixian made a few more arrangements, and then let these old ancestors go prepare by themselves.
After everyone all dispersed, Qin Hongtao’s face fell as he asked Qin Yan, “Yan-er, what actually happened to the Vast Heaven Pagoda?”
Qin Hongtao’s expression was unkind. Clearly, he really got angry at this grandson of his.
His own grandson was actually helping outsiders to deceive him. This was something that he could not tolerate.
Although Ning Yixian and Jing Xuan did not speak, they clearly did not believe the words Qin Yan trio said either.
The Vast Heaven Pagoda had already stood there firmly for tens of thousands of years already. If there weren’t any special circumstances, how could it possibly fly away by itself without rhyme or reason?
Seeing Qin Hongtao flare up, Qin Hongtao did not have any surprised look.
“Grandfather, calm your anger. Grandson is not deceiving intentionally. It’s truly inadvisable to be high-profile at this time. Actually, the Vast Heaven Pagoda didn’t fly off by itself but was collected by Ye Yuan. From now on, the Vast Heaven Pagoda belongs to Ye Yuan alone!”
Qin Yan took his time to recount the events of Ye Yuan clearing the ninth level and collecting the Vast Heaven Pagoda, shocking the three old ancestors to their core.
Even if they had thought of innumerable possibilities, they did not expect that this Vast Heaven Pagoda was actually the reward for clearing the ninth level either!
