Hearing these words, Yan Jun husband and wife’s faces changed as they reproached indignantly, “Xie Ying, you … are shameless!”
Xie Ying roared with laughter and said, “Hahaha! Shameless? The victor becomes king and the loser a bandit! Shameless, this term, is utterly not applicable in the Chaotic Devil Sea! Boy, since you want the Absolute Kill Token, then have you made the preparations to sink low? Do you want your own life or that little girl’s life? Choose one yourself!”
Ye Yuan landed onto the ground and looked at Xie Ying pitifully as he said with a faint smile, “If I want to kill you, nobody can stop me!”
Xie Ying was taken in by Ye Yuan’s imposing momentum and actually involuntarily retreated several steps. Gritting his teeth, he said, “Don’t you care about that little girl’s life and death anymore?”
Ye Yuan smiled and pointed towards the crowd as he said, “Is the little girl you’re talking about her?”
Tracing the direction Ye Yuan pointed at and looking over, Xie Ying’s expression could not help changing drastically. His legs turned weak, and his entire person plopped down onto the ground.
“This … How is this possible?”
In the crowd, a youth was carrying a little girl in his arms. Who could that little girl be but Yan Ling?
When Yan Jun husband and wife saw Yan Ling, they could not help rubbing their eyes as they revealed a look of disbelief.
“L-Ling-er?”
“Father … Mother …”
Fiery carried Yan Ling and came before Yan Jun husband and wife, and he returned her to Lin Shuang. The couple’s tears poured down.
“Ling-er, it was all father and mother’s fault, causing you to have suffered!” The family of three cried bitterly on each other’s shoulders.
Bang!
Ye Yuan did not hesitate in the slightest and finished off Xie Ying neat and tidily.
The final protective charm being gone, Xie Ying could not even muster up the courage to resist.
Ye Yuan extended his hand and beckoned. A token flew into his hand from Xie Ying’s corpse.
The moment he caught it, a berserk killing qi pounced from head-on. A scarlet red ‘kill’ word was written on the token.
This token was the Absolute Kill Token!
With it, Ye Yuan would be able to enter the Slaughter Steppes and start a journey filled with blood and slaughter.
Dripping blood to acknowledge a master, a burst of extremely powerful killing qi entered Ye Yuan’s body, assaulting Ye Yuan’s sea of consciousness.
In an instant, it was as if Ye Yuan had fallen into endless slaughter. He actually had an impulse to kill off all the people around him.
Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Yuan entered Heart Like Monolith Heart Realm. It instantly suppressed this bout of killing intent down.
How could a mere killing intent beat Ye Yuan’s Heart Like Monolith?
At this instant, each and every one of Ye Yuan’s actions was watched closely by everyone.
When everyone saw that he actually dripped blood to acknowledge a master on the spot, all of them were shocked until they could not close their mouths.
In the Absolute Kill Token contained extremely intense killing intent. A single mishap could make the martial artist turn into a killing machine.
When ordinary people obtained this Absolute Kill Token, they all would find a place without anybody to enter seclusion. Who would be so arrogant like Ye Yuan?
But they clearly saw that Ye Yuan’s eyes were only turbid for an instant, then it recovered clarity.
This newly-ascended city lord was too terrifying!
Chapter 871 - Coercion

Yan Jun trio huddled together and cried bitterly for a while before finally recovering.
He led his wife and daughter in front of Ye Yuan and prostrated on the ground.
“Master Ye saved my family. Yan Jun has nothing to repay you with, so I’ll give these meager family wealth to master. Hope that Master don’t scorn it.”
Yan Jun offered up a storage ring with cupped hands, stirring the audience into a commotion.
No need to think, inside this storage ring definitely had quite a number of earth essence crystals. This made each and every one of them extremely envious.
It was just that no matter how great their gall was, nobody dared to provoke this new city lord either.
Who knew that Ye Yuan actually pushed the storage ring back and said coolly, “No need to be courteous, Owner Yan. In the future, leave this troublesome place and bring your wife and child to live your lives well!”
Yan Jun showed a look of dilemma. Suddenly, he pushed Yan Ling in front of Ye Yuan and said, “This Yan knows that this action is very presumptuous, but I don’t want Ling-er to live like good-for-nothings like us in the future! Master Ye, I beg you to take Ling-er in as a disciple. We, husband and wife, will be endlessly grateful!”
Regarding Yan Jun’s actions, Ye Yuan was rather surprised. He could feel Yan Jun’s fond love toward his daughter. He did not think that they would actually be willing to part by giving Ling-er to him to be an apprentice.
Ye Yuan said, “This matter isn’t up to us. It still has to depend on Ling-er’s wishes herself. Ling-er, do you want to learn alchemy skills from Big Brother Ye Yuan?”
Ling-er nodded without the slightest hesitation and said, “Of course I want! Ling-er wants to become the greatest alchemist! But … Ling-er can’t bear to part with Father and Mother.”
Ling-er was very clever. She knew that by acknowledging Ye Yuan as her master, she would likely have to part with her own father and mother.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “That’s easy to handle. I’ll write a letter for you all. You go to the White Valiant Region’s Crimson Afterglow Holy Land, say that you were arranged to come by me. They will naturally take you guys in.”
Yan Jun was overjoyed when he heard that and hurriedly gave thanks to Ye Yuan.
Settling Yan Jun’s family down, Ye Yuan suddenly said coolly to the crowd, “Tan Si, do you want to keep on watching like this?”
The moment these words came out, Yan Jun, Liu Yusheng, and the rest were all startled.
They did not think that Tan Si was actually hiding in the crowd.
Indeed, a scarface flashed out from within the crowd. It was precisely Tan Si.
“That expert lying undercover in the trade caravans was indeed you!” Tan Si looked at Ye Yuan and said with a gloomy face.
The moment these words were uttered, Liu Yusheng’s face changed.
If he still did not know that it was Ye Yuan who secretly made a move until now, then he would be too stupid.
But the problem was, how did Ye Yuan make a move? One had to know that the one controlling the Spirit Profound Unity Formation was him. When did Ye Yuan take action? He actually did not find out at all!
Hearing that, Ye Yuan just smiled.
The current Tan Si was very wary of Ye Yuan and said again, “I’m only here to observe the battle and don’t have any ill-intent!”
But Tan Si’s appearance caused a commotion.
“He … He’s Earth Carnage Proclamation rank 458, Tan Si! My God, why would Tan Si appear in Cloud Transient City?”
“Heard that it was this Tan Si’s first time entering the Earth Carnage Proclamation, charging straight to the 458th place. He’s a legendary-like existence!”
“But … But he actually submitted to City Lord Ye!”
Tan Si’s ranking was even several positions higher than Xie Ying’s, indicating that his strength was even stronger than Xie Ying’s.
But this kind of existence actually submitted to Ye Yuan. This made everyone’s jaws dropped.
Ye Yuan looked at Tan Si with a smile that was not a smile and said, “Don’t you feel that this sort of explanation is very feeble? If I didn’t call you out, would you tail behind Owner Yan and leave Cloud Transient City, and then kill them halfway?”
&nb
sp; Yan Jun’s expression could not help changing when he heard that. This Tan Si actually still refused to give up!
If not for Ye Yuan pointing Tan Si’s whereabouts, there really was a possibility that he might lay his hands on him.
Tan Si’s expression changed, and he shook his head and said, “I have no such intentions.”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Good that you don’t have such intentions! Just nice, I’m going to the Slaughter Steppes, and I’m lacking a person to accompany me. I’ll have to trouble you to take a trip with me!”
This time, Tan Si really lost composure. He said in astonishment, “You … You want to go to the Slaughter Steppes! I … I’m not going!”
Ye Yuan said coolly, “Whether you go or not isn’t up to you.”
Tan Si’s expression was livid with rage as he said, “Do you really think that I’m scared of you?”
Ye Yuan said very coolly, “The so-called Earth Carnage Proclamation experts are nothing in my eyes! Killing one is killing, killing two is also the same!”
Arrogant!
Wildly arrogant!
In the Chaotic Devil Sea, to dare look down on Earth Carnage Proclamation experts, Ye Yuan was still the first one!
To Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artists, Earth Carnage Proclamation experts were invincible existences. But Ye Yuan said that they were nothing!
“You! I assure you, I absolutely won’t kill them! Is this still not enough?”
Tan Si shrunk back once more. He actually did not have the courage to have a battle with Ye Yuan.
Tan Si’s performance subverted everyone’s understanding of Earth Carnage Proclamation experts.
To Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artists, Earth Carnage Proclamation experts were invincible existences. But facing Ye Yuan, Tan Si, this Earth Carnage Proclamation who was ranked 458 actually did not even dare to make a move!
“You only have two options. Go together with me or be killed by me!” Ye Yuan did not care about Tan Si’s words the least bit and said indifferently.
This was a stark-naked threat or should one say an undisguised kidnapping.
To dare talk this way to an Earth Carnage Proclamation expert, Ye Yuan was probably a special one.
Tan Si’s hand holding the saber was trembling. He desperately wanted to draw his saber, but at the thought of Ye Yuan’s punch earlier, he could not muster up the courage no matter what.
Xie Ying did not see clearly that punch of Ye Yuan’s. He likewise did not see clearly.
Tan Si could sense that under that punch, he absolutely did not have the possibility of surviving!
He truly did not think that a Second Level Heaven Enlightenment martial artist would actually have such formidable strength.
“I … I’ll go!” Tan Si struggled for a long time and finally still yielded.
The gazes all of the martial artists looked toward Ye Yuan with were filled with awe and veneration.
This man actually coerced an Earth Carnage Proclamation expert to enter the Slaughter Steppes.
Too subverting!
Ye Yuan slowly came before Liu Yusheng and said to him, “Escort Yan Jun’s family safe and sound to Luo Ding City. If accidents occur, your Green Sea Mercenary Group don’t have any need to exist anymore.”
Although Liu Yusheng’s strength was not bad, his personality was too spineless. Previously, when Xie Ying was taunting, if he stepped forward, Ye Yuan would still think a little better of him.
But now, he did not have the need to be courteous anymore.
Arranging everything, Ye Yuan brought Tan Si to the transmission array leading to the Slaughter Steppes.
This array formation could only be activated using the Absolute Kill Token.
A light flashed, and the two people vanished from sight.
When they appeared again, they already arrived at a wasteland.
Far away was a magnificent great city. Even separated by several thousand miles, Ye Yuan could still see it clearly.
That great city was the legendary Asura City!
“If my conjectures are right, you should have come out from Asura City, right?” Ye Yuan asked Tan Si.
“It’s clearly your first time entering the Chaotic Devil Sea. Why do you know this place like the palm of your hands?” Tan Si gave an answer that evaded the question.
Ye Yuan did not have any hint of killing aura on him; out of tune and different than Chaotic Devil Sea martial artists. One look and it was clear that it was his first time entering the Chaotic Devil Sea.
But what made Tan Si surprised was that Ye Yuan did not seem to be unfamiliar with this place at all.
Chapter 872 - Asura Arena

Ye Yuan took a look at Tan Si’s glabella and discovered that five blood-red stars appeared between his eyebrows.
“Five-star soul general. Not bad.” Ye Yuan still gave an irrelevant answer.
This was indeed Ye Yuan’s first time coming to the Slaughter Steppes. But he was formerly an apex existence in the Divine Realm. He was very clear about the rules here.
It was just that these things, Ye Yuan naturally would not tell Tan Si.
Tan Si suddenly discovered that he was actually somewhat at a loss on what to do when he was in front of Ye Yuan.
Tan Si had always been an incomparably vicious and fierce person. He spent these few years in the midst of life and death battles before he had his present strength.
No matter how powerful the enemy was, he could always think of ways to kill the opponent.
But facing Ye Yuan, he actually gave rise to an inexplicable sense of powerlessness.
All of a sudden, Tan Si’s expression changed, his gaze when looking at Ye Yuan was as if he had seen a ghost.
“You … You just entered the Slaughter Steppes, and you’re actually already a three-star soul general!”
On Ye Yuan’s glabella, three stars gradually condensed out in an equilateral triangular arrangement. It was precisely the hallmark of a three-star soul general Tan Si was talking about.
For martial artists who entered the Slaughter Steppes, the Absolute Kill Token would condense the Slaughter Concept within their bodies on their glabella, manifesting the concept distinctly.
According to the degree of comprehension of the concept, they were divided from one star to nine stars. A three-star soul general was already not far from supreme true intent.
Previously, Tan Si did not feel a shred of Slaughter Intent on Ye Yuan’s body. But after entering the Slaughter Steppes, Ye Yuan actually reached the level of three-star soul general all at once. How could this not shock him?
One had to know that when Tan Si entered the Slaughter Steppes for the first time, he had already killed God knows how many people. But it was merely only the level of one star.
This completely harmless young man in front of him actually already walked so far along the path of slaughter. How was this possible?
Little did he imagine, when Ye Yuan was in the Lower Realms, the martial artists he had personally massacred before was an astronomical figure.
Talking in terms of killing people, Tan Si was not even fit to carry shoes for Ye Yuan!
It was just that Ye Yuan’s mind was firm. Slaughter True Intent’s violence was completely unable to have an influence on his heart, that was all.
On the path of slaughter, Ye Yuan had already comprehended the true intent long ago unknowingly. It was just that presently, the help that particular true intent had on Ye Yuan was already very little.
“Just three stars, is there a need to make such a fuss? This Slaughter Steppes, three-star soul generals can be easily found,” Ye Yuan said unconcernedly.
Tan Si was speechless and only asked after a while, “You didn’t come to this Slaughter Steppes for the sake of going to Asura City, right?”
Ye Yuan said with a smile, “What did I come to the Slaughter Steppes for if I’m not going to Asura City? You’re at any rate an
expert on the Earth Carnage Proclamation. You’re actually afraid of going into Asura City?”
Tan Si’s expression fell slightly, and he said, “It’s no use even if you taunt me. I won’t enter Asura City with you! Once you enter Asura City, you must start the Slaughter Mode. Either you kill people or be killed! The personnel changes on the Heaven Carnage Proclamation and Earth Carnage Proclamation is tremendous because the Asura City is too cruel! I’m not those fools who crack themselves up to be geniuses. I won’t go and seek my doom!”
Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, “Doesn’t matter. If you don’t go, I’ll kill you right now.”
Ye Yuan said it with incomparable ease as if he was talking about an insignificant matter.
Tan Si said with a somber face, “I’ve already exercised forbearance in every way towards you. Don’t push people too far!”
Boom!
A powerful wind howled past Tan Si’s ears, smashing out a large crater behind him.
Tan Si’s pupils constricted, his entire person frozen there. He was actually unable to move!
He desperately wanted to make himself move, but his body would not listen.
That punch earlier came very suddenly. But he knew that even if he had made ample preparations, it was impossible to block this punch too!
Ye Yuan slowly withdrew his own fist and said with a sigh, “Accidentally hit crooked. Uh … Why don’t I punch again?”
Plop!
Tan Si suddenly knelt down, his four limbs supporting his body on the ground, panting heavily for air.
“I … I’ll go!” Tan Si said panting for air.
“Oh, then … let’s go.”
Ye Yuan opened up his footsteps and walked towards that enormous city.
…
Only when he arrived in front of this enormous city did Ye Yuan feel the magnificence of this city.
“Around 30 thousand years ago, Asura City rose from ground up. Ever since then, the Chaotic Devil Sea was born. Starting from then, who knows how many genius martial artists collapsed in this city, for the sake of taking a shot at that nine-star soul general.” Ye Yuan sighed emotionally.
The Chaotic Devil Sea was a place without rules, especially Asura City.
