As if afraid of Ye Yuan objecting, Lin Chao swiftly spoke again, "Rest assured, Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, to be able to obtain soul jades this trip is already a tremendous harvest. We don't want any of the natural treasures from here on. We only pray to be able to leave safely."
Ye Yuan nodded and said, "We can travel together. But when we encounter problems, you must help out equally. If I find out that you guys are secretly conserving strength or purposely hindering us, I'll invite you all to leave immediately."
Lin Chao hurried said, "That's of course!"
Ye Yuan's words directly cut off any possibilities of the four Purple Mansion Sect people fishing in troubled waters.
Lin Chao knew that it was simply an impossible matter to want to play mind games in front of this person.
Just like that, the party continued advancing towards the depths of the mystic realm.
. . . . . .
After several days, the party walked out of a dense fog forest.
"Luckily Ye Yuan was here! Or else, we won't be able to walk out of this ghastly place even if we walked until we die!"
"This Confounding Mist Forest is boundless. We simply don't know where the end lies. It's actually an enormous entrapping formation. The person who laid out this entrapment formation truly has horrifying strength!"
"Yeah. This mystic realm is very bizarre. Many places have man-made vestiges but at the same time seem like naturally formed. It makes people confounded whether it's real or fact."
This Confounding Mist Forest was an enormous entrapping formation. It was cut from the same cloth as the type that Ye Yuan previously set up to deal with the High Clarity Sect.
If the average person got caught in this forest, they could never leave for the rest of their lives.
Moreover, this Confounding Mist Forest was filled with jeopardies everywhere; it was a land of absolute perils. It was all thanks to Ye Yuan that all of them could walk out with only fear and no danger.
And at this time, the eyes that Lin Chao looked at Ye Yuan with underwent another change.
This young man was seriously too mysterious. He was simply even stranger than this mystic realm.
This Confounding Mist Forest, even if that Heavenly Sky Sect Quasi-Tier 4 formation master were in here, it would not be possible to bring everyone out of there safe and sound like this. But Ye Yuan did it.
Their group of 12 people walked for a day and night in this Confounding Miss Forest and did not even hurt a single strand of hair!
Lin Chao did not believe that this was their luck being good. Nobody would have such good luck.
To be able to do it to such an extent was definitely because Ye Yuan was extremely well-versed in array formations path!
But Ye Yuan was clearly only 15 or 16 years old. How could he possibly have such profound Array Dao attainments?
The doubts in Lin Chao's heart grew ever more so!
"En? You guys, look! There are people ahead! Eh, there is also a palace there!" Tian Yu suddenly said.
Everyone looked over. Indeed, they saw a bunch of people surrounding before a gigantic palace in groups of twos and threes, discussing something. But nobody entered.
"Looks like the Heavenly Sky Sect's people!"
"No, wait, it seems like the other sect's people are all present! But . . . their Sea Transformation Realm experts all doesn't seem to be here. I reckon . . ."
The Tranquil Cloud Sect group exchanged glances. Especially Mo Yuntian, he was unbelievably shocked in his heart.
He suddenly recalled the words that Ye Yuan said to him before entering the mystic realm. It actually came true!
Sweeping a glance over, other than the Heavenly Sky Sect with all three Sea Transformation Realm experts present, there was only the High Clarity Sect's Yu Feng left among the sects' Sea Transformation Realm experts!
And Yu Feng was only a First Level Sea Transformation Realm. In contrast, the Tranquil Cloud Sect really became the number two formidable sect in the mystic realm!
And this result was entirely fomented single-handedly by Ye Yuan!
If they did not have Ye Yuan, even if the Tranquil Cloud Sect knew that the existence of strength surpassing Crystal Formation Realm was not permitted within the mystic realm, it would also not be possible to walk until here.
A single mishap and they might even be completely annihilated!
And opposite, Wu Zhao had clearly discovered the Tranquil Cloud Sect group too. When he saw the Tranquil Cloud Sect's lineup, he could not help being slightly amazed.
The Heavenly Sky Sect brought twenty over people in here this time. Even if they made ample preparations, they had also lost five or six people.
They even brought a Quasi-Tier 4 formation master over this trip. But even so, they still lost quite a few people when crossing the Confounding Mist Forest earlier.
Of course, there were many people from the other sects inside. They were all brought over by the Tranquil Cloud Sect's formations master.
But the Tranquil Cloud Sect team actually did not lose a single man!
Not knowing why, thick jealousy welled up from the bottom of his heart!
The Tranquil Cloud Sect walked forward for some time and converged with the other sects.
"Elder Mei has remarkable abilities, to actually bring all your disciples over here without losing a single one!" Anyone could hear the sourness in Wu Zhao's words.
But they could emphatize. Because the sourness in the other sect disciples' hearts was not lesser than Wu Zhao.
Mei Zhen said coolly, "Just good luck. Listening to the meaning of Elder Wu's words, could it be that you'll only be comfortable if our Tranquil Cloud Sect was completely wiped out?"
Wu Zhao coughed dryly and said smilingly, "Not at all, not at all. I was looking at how the other sects suffered heavy casualties while only your Tranquil Cloud Sect is completely intact and felt rather surprised, that's all. Could it be that your Tranquil Cloud Sect know some things about this mystic realm?"
These words from Wu Zhao had the suspicions of driving a wedge between them. But this was also his habitual trick. He already used this when just having entered the mystic realm.
But Mei Zhen replied, "Elder Wu is thinking too much. If we knew anything, this disciple of ours would not be missing an arm too."
Everyone followed Mei Zhen's gaze and looked over. Indeed, they saw Pang Wannian missing an arm and could not help being secretly shocked.
Looking at things, the dangers that the Tranquil Cloud Sect experienced did not seem to be at all lesser than the other sects. Could it really be that they were only lucky?
And right then, Yu Feng could not resist jumping out. "Elder Wu, you have to stand up for our High Clarity Sect! Ye Yuan that punk plotted and caused the death of my Senior Apprentice Brother Wang! Our hatred with him is absolutely irreconcilable!"
Wu Zhao's started to make his move and said solemnly, "Elder Mei, everyone should help each other in times of need after entering this mystic realm. How can you all do such a despicable thing? As the head of the Southern Domain, my Heavenly Sky Sect has to intervene a little in this matter! How about this, you cripple Ye Yuan's Dantian, and this matter will drop here. Otherwise . . ."
Wu Zhao still had half a sentence unsaid, but everyone was clear on his meaning.
If the Tranquil Cloud Sect did not cripple Ye Yuan, then that was becoming enemies with his Heavenly Sky Sect!
The Heavenly Sky Sect had three Sea Transformation Realm elders. Even if they could not exert Sea Transformation Realm strength, it was also not what the present Tranquil Cloud Sect could be on par with.
Chapter 314 - Changing Countenance!
Seeing the Heavenly Sky Sect show its stance, Yu Feng also secretly let out a sigh of relief.
They were following behind others and serving them carefully this whole road in order to find Ye Yuan to take revenge today!
Yu Feng knew that it was not very practical to take revenge on the entire Tranquil Cloud Sect. Aft
er all, the Heavenly Sky Sect still needed cannon fodders. But finding Ye Yuan alone for payback was nothing unjustifiable.
Furthermore, Yu Feng could tell that Ye Yuan's status in the Tranquil Cloud Sect was exceptional for sure.
If Ye Yuan could be eliminated, it would absolutely be a tremendous blow to the Tranquil Cloud Sect.
Upon seeing the Tranquil Cloud Sect appear in front of everyone without a single casualty, Yu Feng had a feeling that it would have been impossible for them to do it without Ye Yuan!
With the Heavenly Sky Sect's might, as long as they were willing to make a move, Ye Yuan would undoubtedly die!
"Humph! What right does your Heavenly Sky Sect have to listen to their one-sided statement and cripple Ye Yuan? Wu Zhao, I'm telling you, it's impossible to want me to hand Ye Yuan over!" Mei Zhen also had an unusually strong stance this time.
Regardless whether it was the High Clarity Sect or Heavenly Sky Sect, they were indeed of the same virtues, wanting him to hand over the person at sight.
If they did not have Ye Yuan this entire way, the Tranquil Cloud Sect would have been completely wiped out long ago. If he really handed Ye Yuan over, what kind of person would he, Mei Zhen, be?
Wu Zhao flew into a great rage when he heard that. The Tranquil Cloud Sect had always lowered their eyes and been affable in front of his Heavenly Sky Sect. They had never been so domineering before.
"Wow, grew some grit huh?! I want to see today just what you're relying on to grow this grit! Also, your Tranquil Cloud Sect better be careful after leaving the mystic realm! Xu Jian, let's weigh together just where Elder Mei's resolve came from!"
As he spoke, Wu Zhao and another elder called Xu Jian were about to join hands to deal with Mei Zhen.
The Heavenly Sky Sect's overbearingness was not without reason. Their strength was formidable, and they could send out three Sea Transformation Realm elders casually!
To other sects, Sea Transformation Realm experts were remarkably precious. Hence, the vast majority of sects only sent one Sea Transformation Realm elder to explore the mystic realm this time.
One of the reason was primarily still because they feared that this mystic realm would be too dangerous and that their Sea Transformation Realm elders would fall in here.
After all, even a Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realm died in this mystic realm. Sending Sea Transformation Realm elders over, they might not be able to retreat unscathed either.
It was very evident that these sect masters' cautiousness made sense. Because there were already five sects without Sea Transformation Realm elders now!
With Wu Zhao and Xu Jiang joining hands, Mei Zhen immediately felt the pressure surge!
How could he handle two people from the other side alone?
Let alone the other side's headcount was many more than this side.
"Elder Wu, if you're in the mood to throw your weight around here, why not rack your brain and think about how to enter this palace," Ye Yuan voiced out timely.
Upon hearing these words, Wu Zhao's expression involuntarily changed.
Ye Yuan's words had plainly pricked his sore spot.
The reason why this large group of people were pacing around and not advancing was that they could not enter this main hall!
Anyone could tell that there was definitely good stuff inside the main hall. But it was all futile if they could not enter!
"You can actually see through the truth and false of this main hall?!" Wu Zhao exclaimed in shock.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "What can't be seen? Isn't there a number of ash piles over there? It should have been left behind when you were forcefully barging into the main hall before, right?"
Wu Zhao was shaken and thought to himself that this boy had a very scrupulous mind, to actually notice even this.
"Humph! This main hall has an extremely powerful array formation guarding it. Even if we can utilize our full strength, we can't enter too! Listening to what you mean, could it be that you have some means?" Wu Zhao said with a cold snort.
Yu Feng panicked when he heard this and hurriedly said, "Elder Wu, don't listen to this punk's nonsense! What method can he, a puny little Spirit Condensation Realm have? Previously, Senior Apprentice Brother Wang listened to his flowery words, that's how he fell for his wicked ruse!"
Wu Zhao's face turned icy as he said, "Does this old fellow need you to gesture here and there on how to do things?"
Yu Feng's words made Wu Zhao very displeased. Comparing him to a dead person, was this a good comparison?
Lacking any judgment!
He was foolish enough to be struck by lightning and still wanted to blame others for setting up a trap.
Moreover, they were at a loss on what to do outside the main gate now. What if this boy really had a way? Wouldn't it be severing their own prospects?
The High Clarity Sect lost several more disciples on the way. Now, there was barely any left. Yu Feng obviously did not dare to argue with Wu Zhao. He could only shut his mouth sensibly.
Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "What are you saying, Elder Wu? Just as this Elder Yu said, what method can I, a puny little Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist, have?"
At this time, the more Ye Yuan intentionally made himself easier to knead, the more Wu Zhao felt that Ye Yuan knew something. Because he simply had no way of entering!
Finally reached here after much difficulty, he could not just turn back around, right?
It was very clear that this palace was this mystic realm's greatest treasure!
Entering a treasure mountain and returning empty-handed?
How would he explain to the sect master when he gets back?
"Ye Yuan, if you really have a way to let us enter, my Heavenly Sky Sect can let bygones be bygones about the matter previously!"
Ye Yuan hurriedly said, "Don't! You should just fuss about it. Cripple what needs to be crippled and kill what you want. Please don't be courteous with me!"
"You! Don't refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!" Wu Zhao was so enraged by Ye Yuan that his face turned green.
With his status, talking like this was already conscientiously giving Ye Yuan a great deal of face. Who knew that this boy would not buy it at all!
He was just about to blow his top when that formation master elder went up and whispered, "Senior Apprentice Brother Wu, perhaps this boy really knows something!"
"En? How so?" Wu Zhao asked puzzledly.
This grand array in front of their eyes had clearly already surpassed the limits of his junior's abilities. Wanting to go in was impossible.
Before this junior of his arrived in front of the main hall, he completely had not discovered that there was a grand array here!
Everyone was only abruptly shocked awake when those few disciples were burnt to ashes by that grand array.
"The Confound Mist Forest is also a humongous entrapment formation. It's pure luck that we can walk out of there! But this group of people walked out completely without a scratch, which shows that there is definitely an able man among them. This boy has nothing to fear. I'm afraid that he has real ability!"
Wu Zhao listened and thought to himself that this was really the case.
When they had just entered the mystic realm, Li Zhangyu even reminded him to eliminate Ye Yuan. But he did not take it to heart.
But such a long time after entering the mystic realm, Ye Yuan this brat was really quite odd.
Could it be, the grand array that even a Quasi-Tier 4 formations master had no way of seeing, this boy really had a way?
With his thought up to here, Wu Zhao s.u.c.k.e.d in a deep breath, eased his tone, and said to Ye Yuan, "Ye Yuan, just now, it was me who didn't make clear of the situation and was rather one-sided. I apologize to you!"
Wu Zhao was advanced in years. His skin was already tempered into steel long ago, changing face faster than flipping a book!
It was just that this face change of his also changed the color on Yu Feng's face!
"Elder
Wu, we had a deal! Are you trying to break your word now?" Yu Feng said furiously.
Wu Zhao shot him a nonchalant glance and said, "What deal did we have? Did I promise you anything? Wang Fan, that moron, failed to even handle a Spirit Condensation Realm. If he's dead, then he's dead. What's there to feel pity for?!"
Chapter 315 - Absolute Blaze Barrier
Yu Feng was so incensed that his c.h.e.s.t was about to explode!
They followed and waited on the Heavenly Sky Sect carefully this entire trip to blaze a trail with no gains and even lost quite a number of disciples. What they exchanged for was this outcome!
Cooperating with the Heavenly Sky Sect was indeed asking a tiger for its skin!
"Elder Wu, are you trying to tear down the bridge after crossing the river?"
Yu Feng had a dark face, his c.h.e.s.t rising and falling like bellows. Evidently, this feeling of being cheated already enraged him to the limits!
But Wu Zhao was indifferent as he said nonchalantly, "Tearing the bridge after crossing the river? Have we crossed the river yet?"
"You!" Yu Feng nearly jumped up.
The 'crossing the river' that Wu Zhao was talking about was naturally referring to this palace before their eyes. However, were their contributions previously worth nothing?
Yu Feng really wanted to fight it out with the Heavenly Sky Sect. But in the end, reason took the upper hand.
Finding the Heavenly Sky Sect to risk his life for revenge was no different from courting death.
Even if the seven great sects allied together, they might not gain an advantage either.
"Good, very good! This loss, I, Yu Feng, accept it! But I've also remembered this grudge! Harrumph!"
Yu Feng forcefully pressed down the rage in his heart and let out a fierce sentence.
Except, even he himself did not believe he had any chances of avenging this grudge.
There was no way in this mystic realm. It was even more out of the question after exiting the mystic realm!
Although the High Clarity Sect was considerably stronger than the Tranquil Cloud Sect, compared to the Heavenly Sky Sect, it was much weaker.
