Hearing Ye Yuan’s words, Sword Thirteen turned his head over painfully and ashamedly.
In the great battle previously, Jian Wushuang ultimately still could not escape misfortune and was killed by the devil vines.
Thinking about it, how sincere was Ye Yuan’s warning back then! If they were not blinded by obsession, how could they have this outcome today?
Jian Wushuang’s demise was a tremendous blow to the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Although he was not a Void Mystic powerhouse, he was the sect-master successor that the Heavenly Sword Sect spent extremely great resources to groom.
With his demise, the Heavenly Sword Sect would have to face the danger of an interrupted generation.
The decline of a great holy land would most likely start from this incident.
Ye Yuan heaved a sigh and said, “Today’s situation, you all experienced it too. The fiend race has already plotted for god knows how many years for the sake of today. There’s already not the slightest bit of meaning for us to carry on fighting internally. The spirit medicines in this Immemorial Medicine Garden are extremely abundant. Later on, I’ll refine several mystic grade medicinal pills to help you all recover blood essence.”
Chapter 1078 - Holy Region
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Inside the Immemorial Medicine Garden, Sword Thirteen, Shu Yunqing, Ding Zhanguo, and the others, all five Void Mystic powerhouses, looked towards Ye Yuan with a grateful look.
Two months had already passed since the incident with the fiend race.
In this period of time, Ye Yuan collected quite a few spirit medicines inside the Immemorial Medicine Garden and refined a batch of blood essence recovering medicinal pills, letting these few people recover blood essence at long last.
Including Ye Yuan, the injuries this time was too severe. Even with large quantities of spirit medicines, everyone also spent two month’s time before barely managing to recover.
But after the few of them went through this, even if they recovered blood essence, their strength was greatly diminished too.
These few people’s age were not young anymore. This battle could be said to have greatly damaged their vitality. They were already no longer able to reach peak condition anymore.
The Void Mystic powerhouses that entered this time, not counting Ye Yuan’s side, were as many as 13 people. But currently, there were only a measly few people left.
The brutality of this great battle could be imagined.
“Young Master Ji, this time … it was all thanks to you! I … am ashamed!” Sword Thirteen’s gratitude carried bashfulness as he said.
“Young Master Ji saved this Shu twice altogether. Such a great favor, this Shu will never forget it. In the future, if Young Master Ji has anything you need my Heavenly Dawn Palace to help with, feel free to ask away,” Shu Yunqing said gratefully.
He was schemed against by He Dajiang the last time and almost died. It was Ye Yuan who saved him.
Even though Ye Yuan snatched away the Iceflame Mystic Sovereign Ganoderma, Ye Yuan saving his life was a fact.
The other few people were also endlessly grateful, expressing thanks to Ye Yuan.
This great battle, from start to end, it was Ye Yuan restraining the Holy Mother Devil Flower and Jia Lan, these two great fiends. They all, these Void Mystic powerhouses, basically played supporting characters.
Even that deadly slash at the end had extremely deep connections to Ye Yuan too.
These few people were all extremely perceptive people. They could naturally discern that a divine artifact like Evil Extermination, absolutely would not acknowledge Ye Yuan as master without rhyme or reason.
Prior to this, their impression of Ye Yuan still stopped at that kid who only wholeheartedly knew pill refinement.
But now, their impression of Ye Yuan was already thoroughly overhauled.
Scheming, strength, destiny, plus alchemy path cultivation, Ye Yuan was a heaven-defying existence in all of them.
The present Ye Yuan was already totally different from that Ji Qingyun back then.
He had already matured into a genuine powerhouse!
“Everyone, no need to be courteous. Saving you all isn’t because this Ye is very kindhearted. I just want to preserve a portion of strength for the Divine Realm. Probably before long, the calamity of the fiend race will utterly erupt. At that time, the human race is bound to have a great battle with the fiend race. All of you leaving behind a useful body, when the time comes, contribute a portion of strength for the human race!” Ye Yuan said coolly.
If it were before, Ye Yuan definitely would not care about the few of them and just let them run their own course.
But now, Ye Yuan’s thinking was different.
Evil Extermination Sword acknowledging him as master made a sort of mission spontaneously well up in his heart.
Even though many things were buried in the annals of history, after going through so much, Ye Yuan knew that the war between the human race and fiend race had actually been continuing all along!
The Vast Heaven Stone Stele should have already changed several masters. Each master likely had an earth-shaking great battle with the fiend race.
The most recent one should be Fang Tian.
Very clearly, the fiend race was suppressed. But no matter how they were suppressed, the fiend race did not die out.
Ye Yuan walking along the way, one after another fiend race’s powerful existences were clearly intentionally let out by people.
Coupled with the Medicine King Hall’s change, the fiend race was probably scheming another counterattack to regain lost ground!
And this time, it was likely different from any one time in the past!
That time 50 thousand years ago, there was only one Heavenly Fiendgod. But this time, there was the additional Holy Mother Devil Flower and Jia Lan.
Once these fiends recovered strength, they absolutely did not pale the slightest in comparison to the Heavenly Fiendgod!
Where would the present human race go to find a second Fang Tian? Even the Ten Great Divine Kings likely could not reach Fang Tian’s level too.
Furthermore, what Ye Yuan was most apprehensive of was still that faction behind Ji Canglan!
Just how long had that faction been infesting in the Divine Realm, Ye Yuan did not dare to imagine at all.
The Vast Heaven Stone Stele found him. Now, the Evil Extermination Sword found him too, making the pressure on Ye Yuan’s shoulders suddenly become heavy.
Natural laws cycle, the great responsibility in this age may fall on him.
Hearing Ye Yuan’s words, the expressions of Sword Thirteen and the rest turned fearful.
Those two fiends were seriously too powerful. Such a horrifying slash of Evil Extermination was actually unable to kill them.
“Young Master Ji, rest assured. After returning this time, our Heavenly Sword Sect will officially declare war on the Medicine King Hall!” Sword Thirteen pledged solemnly.
“Our Heavenly Dawn Palace will also declare war on the Medicine King Hall right away!” Shu Yunqing said.
But Ye Yuan shook his head and said, “The Medicine King Hall being closed for 20 years, their present strength, we have no way of finding out. With my understanding of Ji Canglan, he probably won’t wait passively for the end. If we’re a pile of loose sand, we might suffer a huge loss instead, when the time comes.”
When the few people heard these words, they did not say anything on the surface, but in their hearts, they were very disdainful.
The Medicine King Hall’s strength at their prime could only rank in the middle among the Eight Great Super Holy Lands as well.
Now that Ji Zhangyang and Ji Qingyun, these two people were no longer around, how great could the Medicine King Hall’s strength be?
How many powerhouses could be created in 20 years’ time?
With two great super holy lands declaring war on them at the same time, the pressure on them would incr
ease suddenly.
Even if they sought refuge from the fiend race, how many powerhouses could the fiend race groom in 20 years’ time?
Super holy lands’ powerhouses, the majority had a kind of fervent self-confidence.
Of course, one could not say that they were wrong to have this sort of fervent self-confidence. Because in normal understanding, they were that group of people standing at the very summit of the Divine Realm.
They controlled the direction of the entire Divine Realm.
Ye Yuan knew that this sort of perception could not be changed in a short time.
He thought about it and said, “How about this, after you two return, notify Sect Master Jian and Palace Lord Lin first. This Ye will head for the Holy Region within the next few days and inform those few old fellows about the fiend race’s matters, let them come forward and unite the other holy lands to launch an attack towards Ji Canglan together. At that time, he’ll be hard-pressed to escape even if he grew wings.”
Among the Eight Great Super Holy Lands, the Holy Region was one of the most powerful super holy lands.
Those few old-monster class powerhouses, each and every one of them was not at all inferior compared to the Ten Great Divine Kings.
The Divine Realm’s matters were normally each acting of their own free will. But everyone would still answer and gather under the Holy Region’s rallying call.
The state of affairs was so serious this time. Ye Yuan reckoned that those few old fellows should also be incapable of sitting still anymore.
As long as they eradicated Ji Canglan and dug out the faction behind them, then dragged the Holy Mother Devil Flower and Jia Lan in seriously injured conditions out, the crisis of the fiend race would be easily resolved.
“Alright, then we’ll have to trouble Young Master Ji to make a trip! When we eliminate Ji Canglan, I welcome Young Master Ji to come to my Heavenly Sword Sect to be a guest! I’ll take my leave here!”
Done talking, Sword Thirteen immediately left the Immemorial Medicine Garden.
“Young Master Ji don’t need to worry too much. That Ji Canglan throwing his lot with the fiend race has already infuriated public wrath, he absolutely won’t have a good end! Once this matter is over, Young Master Ji must come to my Heavenly Dawn Palace to be a guest and let this Shu carry out the hospitality of a host somewhat!”
Shu Yunqing and Ding Zhanguo greeted and also left.
Chapter 1079 - Reverse-Checkmate

Looking at the few people’s departing back view, Ye Yuan could not help shaking his head and smiling bitterly.
Seemed like Sword Thirteen and Sword Thirteen did not take his words in at all.
But a super holy land’s every movement and action was also not that easy. He needed to hurry and make a trip to the Holy Region.
With a bout of great battle, the entire Immemorial Medicine Garden was already in utter disarray.
Those few million-year-old medicine spirits had long run to god knows where. The matter of finding spirit medicines, Ye Yuan could only give up as well.
Two months had passed, the outside world still did not know what kind of accident happened. This trip to the Holy Region was best as soon as possible.
At Cloudmarsh City, inside the City Lord Manor, Old Man Han furrowed his brows when he finished hearing Ye Yuan giving an account of the Immemorial Medicine Garden’s events this time.
“Old Man Han, you’re also a Divine Realm’s bigwig-class figure. It’s absolutely impossible to not have heard about the fiend race’s matters. Now that the fiend race has come into being once more, you probably can’t look on with folded arms, right?” Ye Yuan said.
Old Man Han said with knitted brows, “Such an important matter, this old man naturally won’t look on with folded arms. When exterminating the Medicine King Hall, send a word. This old man will naturally make my way over. It’s just that … sigh …”
As Old Man Han was talking, he let out a long sigh.
The Holy Mother Devil Flower coming into being virtually extracted all of the Immemorial Medicine Garden’s essence energy dry.
The current Immemorial Medicine Garden was practically just an empty husk. Those several dozen million-year-old spirit medicines virtually all fled in all directions and could not be gotten back at all.
With a great battle, no idea how many spirit medicines were ruined either. Just think about it, a great battle that affected over 100 thousand martial artists, that destructive power was simply unimaginable.
The entire Immemorial Medicine Garden was practically a wasteland.
Without the Immemorial Medicine Garden, Cloudmarsh City’s status in the Divine Realm would naturally be greatly reduced.
As Cloudmarsh City’s city lord, Old Man Han naturally had sorrow in his heart.
Ye Yuan looked at this scene in front of him, but he simply said with a cold smile, “Old Man Han, your skin is really getting thicker and thicker! I had a great battle inside the Immemorial Medicine Garden with fiend race and barely escaped death, you actually still want to extort the spirit medicines on me!”
Old Man Han had a problem, that was that he liked to collect all kinds of spirit medicines.
Even though this was the common disease of all alchemists, Old Man Han was clearly much more ill than the others.
This Cloudmarsh City did not restrict outsiders from entering the Immemorial Medicine Garden. But the things that martial artists obtained inside the Immemorial Medicine Garden, Cloudmarsh City took a cut.
Below Void Mystic experts, even if they were a peak divine king, they also had to hand over the share obediently. Otherwise, they would die very miserably.
These several thousand years, how many spirit medicines Old Man Han collected was already unimaginable.
The Immemorial Medicine Garden’s upheaval this time, only Ye Yuan the few of them escaped. Old Man Han naturally wanted to take his share of the loot.
However, Ye Yuan rebuffed him with a word.
Old Man Han’s face did not turn red nor did his heart beat any faster. He said with a broad smile, “The Immemorial Medicine Garden is already ruined, this Cloudmarsh City of mine won’t live up to its reputation anymore! Younger Brother Ji, you can’t fold your arms and not save me from ruin!”
Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a smile that was not a smile, “Old Man Han, don’t give me that! The fiend race lurked by the side, but you did not detect at all, resulting in poking such a large hole in the basket. My small life was almost lost inside. Aren’t you going to give me a bit of compensation?”
Old Man Han was stupefied, not expecting Ye Yuan to actually make a false counter-charge!
“H-Haha, Younger Brother Ji, making a joke, don’t take it for real! I don’t want it anymore, alright?” Old Man Han joked about it.
Ye Yuan said with a smile, “Old Man Han, don’t think that I’m joking with you! I recently want to refine some medicinal pills and just happened to still lack several spirit medicines. Have a heart and compensate me!”
Old Man Han was startled and said with a black face, “Younger Brother, you know that spirit medicines are this old man’s lifeblood. If you really have designs on them, don’t blame me for not being courteous.”
Old Man Han was a first-rate expert, an apex existence in the Divine Realm. Even Void Mystic powerhouses did not dare to be impudent in front of him too.
But Ye Yuan did not buy it in the slightest.
“Don’t you want to know how I escaped from the hands of the fiend race? Old Man Han, how about … we try it out? You can give it a shot whether your medicine garden can still be preserved or not!” Ye Yuan threatened.
Old Man Han’s face became black as the bottom of a pot. Currently, his intestines were already green with regret.
If he had long known, he would have met Ye Yuan outside and not bring him inside.
Previously, hearing Ye Yuan talk about the events inside the Immemorial Medi
cine Garden, Old Man Han was very astonished in his heart too.
Over 100 thousand martial artists all died inside. The fiend race’s strength was definitely incomparably fearsome. How did Ye Yuan escape?
Old Man Han was very confident in his own strength. But facing Ye Yuan, he had no confidence in protecting his medicine garden.
The Immemorial Medicine Garden was even ruined, let alone talk about his medicine garden.
Finally, Old Man Han still yielded.
“You punk, when did you become a scoundrel? Forget it, forget it! Consider yourself ruthless! Whatever spirit medicines you required, pick yourself. But above 300 thousand years, you’re absolutely not allowed to take them away!” Old Man Han said hatefully.
He did not expect that he failed to fleece a sum and was blackmailed by Ye Yuan instead.
Ye Yuan chuckled and said, “Don’t you worry, the spirit medicines for my refinement, 200-thousand-year old is already enough.”
Looking at Ye Yuan pluck away the spirit medicines in his medicine garden one stalk by one stalk, Old Man Han’s heart was dripping blood.
…
“Ye Yuan, any discovery yet?” Kuang Tianming asked when Ye Yuan returned to the residence.
Through two months plus of refining medicinal pills, Kuang Tianming finally recovered to his peak state.
When he was informed about that unbelievably tragic battle in the Immemorial Medicine Garden, his shock could not be any greater.
And today, Ye Yuan going to extort Old Man Han was not targeting his spirit medicines at all.
He felt that Old Man Han was very suspicious, so he deliberately wanted to go and probe things out. Except … the result made him very disappointed.
Ye Yuan shook his head and said with furrowed brows, “Old Man Han is a cunning old fox. He doesn’t have any flaws at all! But I keep feeling that he’s somewhat unusual. He has been adjacent to the Immemorial Medicine Garden for several thousand years. Could he be completely unaware of the situation inside? Moreover, the news of the divine rank spirit medicine coming into being this time was also very fishy! I initially thought that it was news disseminated by the Medicine King Hall, but thinking back for a bit, it doesn’t feel too probable either. If say who’s the most convenient to spread this intel, it’s naturally Cloudmarsh City!”
