And just as the dragon clan’s battle sparked heated discussions, Ye Yuan already set off in secret, heading towards the Divine Realm’s southern part’s Nanzhao Region.
The Moonhowl Sect was precisely a Rank Six Holy Land in the Nanzhao Region.
Ye Yuan walked into a medicinal shop in the Maplemoon Imperial City. The shopkeeper welcomed with a smile.
“Sir, may I ask what spirit medicines are required? Although our store is small, there is a great variety of spirit medicines.”
“I want a piece of blank paper, 2 maces of Wandering Flower, three taels of Dark Winterplum, four pounds of Willow Moon Pearl. I wonder if your shop has it?” Ye Yuan said with a faint smile.
This was the secret code that the Spirit Bristle Divine King told him, and this small medicine shop was precisely the place to get in contact.
When that shopkeeper heard Ye Yuan’s secret code, his expression involuntarily changed. But immediately, he revealed a look of doubt and contempt.
“Not only does our small store has these, but there are also even five pounds of Zi Tongren, six taels of White Heart Lotus, seven maces of Su Huanzhen, only lacking eight stalks of Soul Extinguishing Needles! Sir, come in, please! Xiao Tong, closing for half a day today. Seal off the shop.”
Although his face showed disdain, he still responded with the secret code and invited Ye Yuan into the inner-hall.
The reason why the shopkeeper revealed a look of contempt was because he saw that Ye Yuan only had Heaven Enlightenment Realm cultivation.
So he was very perplexed what in the world upstairs sent this brat here for?
Very clearly, Teng Yun did not tell the shopkeeper who he sent over this time.
Therefore, when he saw Ye Yuan, he inevitably despised him.
Coming to the inner-hall, the shopkeeper cupped his fists and said, “This old man is Gu Yongtang. I wonder how do I address this little brother?”
“Ye Yuan,” Ye Yuan said lightly.
The shopkeeper froze. Why was this name exactly the same as the newly-ascended Heaven Surmounting Divine King?
But he did not think that this Ye Yuan was the other Ye Yuan.
How could the Ten Great Divine Kings possibly be a Heaven Enlightenment Realm rookie?
“Little Brother Ye, not that this Gu is looking down on you, it’s just that your cultivation … What can you do coming to the Moonhowl Sect?” Gu Yongtang said with a frown.
Ye Yuan smiled indifferently but fished out a token.
When Gu Yongtang saw the token, his expression could not help changing greatly.
“Mystic Rank Token! Subordinate Gu Yongtang, pays respect to Mystic Lord, Your Excellency!” Gu Yongtang hurriedly gave a bow.
This token was given to him by Teng Yun, but he was not told what purpose it had. He just said that he could display it when he arrived at the place.
Looking at it now, this token was still pretty useful to be able to make a peak Void Mystic powerhouses bow his head in submission.
Speaking of which, Ye Yuan didn’t even know what the name of the organization was until now.
Teng Yun’s mysterious appearance made Ye Yuan feel somewhat at a loss.
“Get up. A peak Void Mystic powerhouse concealing in this Maplemoon Imperial City is actually able to persevere until now and not die. It can only be said that you’re too lucky,” Ye Yuan said coolly.
Gu Yongtang was stunned and said rather uncertainly, “I wonder what Mystic Lord, Your Excellency’s words … mean?”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Although you suppressed your realm, people who are powerful can see through your ins and outs at a glance. It’s also that this small shop of yours is too inconspicuous, that’s why it would be overlooked by people. It’s just that when you take action, it’s a little too troublesome.”
Gu Yongtang could not help choking when he heard that. He knew that what Ye Yuan said was right.
Because his cultivation realm was too high, many things could only be investigated secretly, but not looked into openly.
It was indeed somewhat inconvenient to act.
The fiend race’s genuine powerhouses could see through his actual situation with a glance.
Suppressing cultivation realm, this sort of thing, could only bluff rookies.
“This is an Essence Sealing Pill, eat it. As long as you don’t deliberately utilize essence energy that surpasses the realm, you won’t be exposed. Even if the fiend race’s peak Void Mystic powerhouses came, they can’t see through your actual situation either!” Ye Yuan casually threw out a medicinal pill and said.
Gu Yongtang involuntarily received the medicinal pill, but his gaze looked towards Ye Yuan in incredible shock.
He finally understood why this one in front of him was just a measly little Heaven Enlightenment Realm!
Coupled with the Mystic Rank Token and guessing, Gu Yongtang got an answer that made him immensely shocked.
“Could Mystic Lord, Your Excellency … be the newly-ascended Heaven Surmounting Divine King?” Gu Yongtang asked probingly.
Someone capable of refining the Essence Sealing Pill, this kind of high-grade Tier 9 medicinal pill, was named Ye Yuan, and even possessed a Mystic Rank Token, apart from the Heaven Surmounting Divine King, who else could there be?
Ye Yuan did not deny it either, saying with a nod, “Precisely so.”
Gu Yongtang hurriedly said, “Subordinate was impolite, Heaven Surmounting Divine King pray do not take offense!”
Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, “No worries. Talk about the intelligence that you found.”
Gu Yongtang nodded his head and started recounting the information that he found in this stronghold.
This Maplemoon Kingdom was subordinate to the Moonhowl Sect. The entire royal family had long been controlled by the fiend race.
As for the Moonhowl Sect, Gu Yongtang only intercepted and captured an intelligence personnel by chance. He discovered that the other party was of the fiend race, so he became suspicious about the Moonhowl Sect.
Any real definite evidence, Gu Yongtang did not grasp them at all!
When Ye Yuan heard, he shook his head to no end as well.
“Messing around for a long time, it’s equivalent to doing nothing!” Ye Yuan smiled helplessly and said.
Gu Yongtang’s old face turned red, but he defended himself, “Subordinate was afraid of alerting the enemy, so … it was inconvenient to come forward on many occasions.”
Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, “I really don’t know what Teng Yun was thinking. Investigating intelligence this sort of thing, he actually sent a peak Void Mystic over. Furthermore, actually came in such a flagrant manner.”
Gu Yongtang shut his mouth and said nothing. Such words were not what he could interject.
Ye Yuan asked again, “Then pray tell, did the Moonhowl Sect has any abnormal activities in this period of time recently?”
Gu Yongtang thought about it and said, “There really was! Originally, the Moonhowl Sect recruited a batch of disciples at Heaven Enlightenment Realm and below every two years. But in this recent one to two years, they have already shortened this cycle to three months.”

“This one is Meng Guang. I wonder how to address this little brother?”
“Ye Qing.”
“Brother Ye is already Eighth Level Heaven Enlightenment at a young age. Your talent is truly unparalleled! Entering the Moonhowl Sect this time, you’ll definitely obtain the sect’s heavy grooming!”
“It’s just that I obtained some lucky chances a few years back, which aren’t worth mentioning. Rather, Brother Meng’s foundation is quite solid. Your strength is likely far greater than your cultivation realm, right?”
Meng Guang could not help looking at Ye Yuan in surprise, secretly alarmed that Ye Yuan’s eyesight was startling.
His talent was outstanding, and he already comprehended an earth-attribute
supreme true intent.
Unexpectedly, this young man whose cultivation realm was even a level lower than his actually saw through with one glance.
This Ye Qing was naturally Ye Yuan who sneaked into the Maplemoon Imperial City.
Hearing about the Moonhowl Sect’s abnormal activities from Gu Yongtang there, Ye Yuan decided to enter deep into the tiger’s lair to make a thorough inquiry.
After all, eradicating the Moonhowl Sect was not considered a big deal to him.
But wanting to grasp the fiend race’s intel, this was the top priority.
Right now, Ye Yuan still knew too little about the fiend race’s matters.
At this time, these hundreds of people were currently on the way to the Moonhowl Sect. Meng Guang saw that Ye Yuan had an amiable look, so he came up to get closer.
But he did not expect that it was seen through by Ye Yuan with one glance.
When Meng Guang heard this, he could not help saying with an embarrassed smile, “Elder Brother, I, was lucky by chance too, haha. It’s just a shame that my cultivation has likely reached the end as well. Thanks to the Moonhowl Sect wanting to start a war with the Crimson Feather Sect, that’s why they would relax the restrictions of recruiting disciples. Only then could I enter the sect at my age!”
Speaking of entering the Moonhowl Sect, Meng Guang had a look of anticipation too.
It was just that in Ye Yuan’s view, with this departure, it was likely very difficult to come back anymore.
The Moonhowl Sect increasing enrollment of disciples definitely had other motives.
But Ye Yuan could not say much right now as well. One more person knowing this, the success rate of his mission would drop substantially.
After investigating the intelligence of the fiend race clearly, he would naturally eradicate the Moonhowl Sect, and these people would be safe.
Chatting with Meng Guang along the way, they entered the Moonhowl Sect very quickly.
The Moonhowl Sect’s disciples flowed perpetually in an endless stream, showing a scenery of prosperity. Looking from the outside, there was not the slightest hint of amiss.
But the way Ye Yuan saw it, it was another scenery.
His Essence, Energy, and Spirit, the three paths already gradually approached major accomplishment. The power of the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil was also gradually able to be unleashed.
The fiend energy concealed within the bodies could not hide from Ye Yuan’s eyes at all.
These Moonhowl Sect disciples were all deeply entrenched in fiend energy and were already no longer normal people.
The entire Moonhowl Sect, only their batch of newcomers were humans.
Ye Yuan observed carefully along the way, secretly memorizing each bearing of the sect in his heart.
But no idea why, ever since entering the Moonhowl Sect, Ye Yuan kept having a feeling of apprehension and jitters.
The Phaseless Realm deacon responsible for recruiting new disciples brought everyone to a side-peak, sweeping a glance over everyone. He said coldly, “This place will be your lodging from now on. Starting from now, you’re the Moonhowl Sect’s disciples. Because now is a special time, the Moonhowl Sect’s cultivation methods and martial techniques will be opened up to all disciples at no charge! Starting from tomorrow, all of you must cultivate well and serve the sect, understood?”
“Cultivation methods and martial technique opened up for free! Haha, the sect is really great to us!”
“Heard that the Moonhowl Sect’s Moonhowl Heavenly Chant Incantation is a Tier 9 cultivation method. If I’m able to cultivate this cultivation method, then I’d ascend to the heavens in one step!”
“Looks like entering the Moonhowl Sect was indeed a wise decision!”
The deacon’s one sentence stirred everyone’s emotions up.
Seeing these people’s agitated expressions, the corners of the deacon’s mouth curled up.
These fools, death is at hand, and they are still unaware. Do they really think that there’s free lunch in the world? The deacon sneered coldly in his heart.
He glanced around the crowd, but his gaze stopped on Ye Yuan’s face.
The others all had excited looks, only Ye Yuan alone had a wooden expression.
His behavior was truly too conspicuous in a group of people.
Actually, Ye Yuan really wanted to act a bit more realistically. But having him dance for joy with these guys, he seriously could not do it.
He currently had a whole bunch of Divine Dao cultivation methods that he did not have time to cultivate. How could he take fancy on a puny little Tier 9 cultivation method?
In other words, acting required talent too.
“What? You seem to hold the sect’s cultivation methods in contempt very much?” The deacon looked at Ye Yuan and said with a smile that was not a smile.
Ye Yuan did not expect that this guy suddenly came to find trouble with him.
Although he did not know how to act, putting up an act still had to be done.
At once, he bowed down slightly and said, “What’s Lord Deacon saying here? Disciple is just … not too good at expressing my excitement.”
Actually, Ye Yuan really felt that he said it very sincerely.
But his expression was so offending in the deacon’s eyes.
“Heh, I think that you just look down on it! Since that’s the case, this seat will demonstrate to everybody! As for you … experience the power of the Moonhowl Heavenly Chant Incantation well! Rest assured, this seat will suppress the palm force to the Heaven Enlightenment Realm.” The deacon said with a smile that was not a smile.
Hearing these words, Meng Guang’s expression changed, and he hurriedly gave a bow and said, “Lord Deacon, Brother Ye really had no intention of offending you. He has this indifferent temperament to begin with. I chatted with him a lot along the way. He mostly had this expression.”
Meng Guang had good intentions, but coming forward at this time made the deacon even more displeased.
He was devilfied and filled with a foul and evil-foreboding air to begin with. One or two jumping out, he felt that he had a need to demonstrate his authority.
“The two of you, just the first day of joining the sect, could it be that you want to rebel? The words that this seat said, could it be that you want to make this seat take them back? Or … do you guys want to be expelled on the first day?” said the deacon as he put on a cold face.
Meng Guang saw Ye Yuan’s frail body, gritted his teeth, and said, “If Your Excellency really wants to demonstrate the cultivation method, Meng Guang is willing to accept this palm on his behalf!”
Ye Yuan could not help feeling slightly surprised. He and Ye Yuan had never met before and just exchanged a few more words on the road. Ye Yuan did not expect that Meng Guang was actually so protective of him.
However, he did not put this deacon in his sights.
“Lord Deacon, this disciple is willing to let you demonstrate the Moonhowl Heavenly Chant Incantation. It’s just … your strength is powerful. You need to go easier when attacking!” Ye Yuan said.
When the deacon saw the situation, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he said, “You can rest assured, it’s just demonstrating the cultivation method a little.”
He would not kill Ye Yuan, because these people were all asked for by upstairs. But … he planned on making Ye Yuan lie in bed for a month.
Meng Guang could not help panicking the moment he saw it. But Ye Yuan gave him a comforting look.
Martial artists were mostly cold and detached. Those like Meng Guang were in the minority.
When the others saw that the deacon wanted to display the power of a Tier 9 cultivation method, each and every one of them was the same as being injected with stimulants.
Huo …
The deacon revolved the cultivation method and smacked a palm out!
“Puhwark!”
Ye Yuan forcefully pressured himself to spew out a mouthful of blood, his body directly flying out.
/>
But the deacon himself was also sent flying out.
Furthermore, he flew even further than Ye Yuan!
Everyone had dumbfounded looks, what … the hell was this?
Ye Yuan struggled to his feet, wiped away the fresh blood from the corners of his mouth, and said with a heartfelt sigh, “Lord Deacon’s palm art is incredible! Our Moonhowl Sect’s cultivation method is truly amazing!”

“Ye Qing, are you alright?” Meng Guang could not help asking very concernedly when he saw Ye Yuan’s pale face.
As for Lord Deacon, that was a Phaseless Realm powerhouse. He … should be fine, right?
The others had blank looks too. They did not know if they should be astonished by the Moonhowl Heavenly Chant Incantation’s power, or be shocked by Lord Deacon being sent flying.
Ye Yuan clutched his chest and said, “Of course not! Lord Deacon’s one palm, how can I possibly be fine?”
He had got to be joking!
His late-stage Tier 9 physical body, even if not employing any essence energy, it was also not what a measly little Phaseless Realm could break.
Furthermore, toward a fiend, Ye Yuan would not show leniency.
Just a moment ago, Ye Yuan utilized late-stage spirit rank dragon wave in the backlash force. A bout of hidden force already quietly slipped into the deacon’s internal organs.
Within seven days, this surge of vibration force would activate, blasting the deacon into a pile of minced meat!
The deacon scrambled to his feet, the gaze that he turned toward Ye Yuan simmered with anger!
“Brat, this seat showed mercy, you actually dared to ambush me?” The deacon said furiously.
He wanted to use Ye Yuan to establish his authority. Who knew that he stumbled, his face almost completely lost.
Even though these people were dead people sooner or later, but … where would his face be shelved?
Ye Yuan hurriedly said, “Lord Deacon, where did this come from? This disciple was injured by you!”
The deacon froze, only now seeing the bloodstains on Ye Yuan’s chest. Clearly, he was already injured.
