"Cough, cough, cough . . ." Star Abyss nearly choked and said, "Star Abyss's knowledge is shallow. I've incurred ridicule from Senior."
Ye Yuan nodded and said, "But, I can only give you an empty promise. My current strength can't refine it at all. After I have sufficient strength, I'll come and find you."
Star Abyss was overjoyed and said, "No worries, no worries! Star Abyss can afford to wait! Oh, right, Senior previously said that Master he . . . What does that mean?"
Ye Yuan gave Star Abyss a look and said with an emotional sigh, "Looks like you still have some feelings toward Li Daohang that chap. At least his teachings were not in vain. However, I really don't know how he's like now. Back then, only a wisp of my soul escaped to the Endless World. I completely couldn't care about other things."
Li Daohang's life and death was fully grasped in the hands of Ji Canglan.
If Ji Canglang carried out a large-scale cleansing crazily, Li Daohang's little life would probably be very hard to preserve. If Ji Canglan still took into consideration some old feelings, Li Daohang might survive.
But Ye Yuan felt that the possibility of the latter was higher. It was just that he could not very well say it to Star Abyss.
Seeing Ye Yuan's despondent expression, Star Abyss also knew that his question poked Ye Yuan's sore spot. But he also secretly started worrying for Li Daohang.
. . . . . .
Coming out from Star Abyss's place, Ye Yuan headed straight for Shi Haoran's place. Before going in, he entrusted White Light to Shi Haoran.
However, when Ye Yuan came to Shi Haoran's place, he did not see Shi Haoran's silhouette, while White Light was being hugged in the embrace of an extremely beautiful girl with a face full of grievance.
Beside the girl stood a handsome and suave yellow shirt youth.
"Hehe, you can't escape from the palm of my hands this time, right, little white tiger?" Shangguan Lingxue said playfully.
Shangguan Lingxue had Sea Transformation Realm strength. How could White Light contend with that?
Under Shangguan Lingxue's despotic power, White Light could only be in her embrace obediently.
Ye Yuan jumped in fright when he saw the situation. Wasn't this girl the one who brought him into the capital? Why would she appear here?
The freaking thing was that Ye Yuan saw a boundless scenic view when he was kept under her skirt back then.
Now that he saw her in the flesh, Ye Yuan felt very awkward in his heart.
Ye Yuan instinctively wanted to dodge aside, but it was already too late. Shangguan Lingxue and that yellow shirt youth already saw him.
"Why are you, a servant, so ignorant of the rules? This place is a restricted pill refinement place. How can you freely enter and leave?" said the yellow shirt youth with a frown.
He knew all of Star Abyss's seven great disciples. There wasn't Ye Yuan at all. Plus, Ye Yuan's strength was meager and his attire was ordinary. The yellow shirt youth subconsciously thought that Ye Yuan was a servant.
Ye Yuan furrowed his brows. This yellow shirt youth's overbearing attitude made him very displeased.
Putting aside that Ye Yuan was not a servant, even if he really was a servant, there was no need to be like this either, right?
This sort of ordering people about with a gesture attitude made it seem like everyone owed him something. Was there a need for that?
Seeing Ye Yuan keeping silent, the yellow shirt youth was even more displeased. "What? Didn't you hear what I said? Get lost!"
As he said, he flicked his sleeves. An extremely powerful force hurtled towards Ye Yuan. It actually wanted to forcefully push Ye Yuan outside!
This yellow shirt youth was at the Fifth Level Sea Transformation Realm. In his view, this move was naturally more than ample to deal with the Second Level Crystal Formation Realm Ye Yuan.
Yet, that force wind just howled past Ye Yuan's body like this, while Ye Yuan was still standing there perfectly well without even moving a muscle!
Chapter 396 - He Must Die Today!
"En? You have quite a knack in doing things!"
The yellow shirt youth was slightly stunned. He did not think that a mere Second Level Crystal Formation Realm could actually block the force of his flick so effortlessly.
"White Light, come here. Let's go," Ye Yuan was disinclined to bother with this wildly arrogant youth and lightly called out.
White Light gave a low roar and struggled free from Shangguan Lingxue's embrace. In a blink of an eye, he arrived behind Ye Yuan, trying to hide.
"Mm? He's called White Light? A very nice name. Is he a little white tiger that you're raising?" Shangguan Lingxue blinked her eyes and asked Ye Yuan curiously.
"So what if yes?" Ye Yuan answered indecisively.
The yellow shirt youth's actions made Ye Yuan rather displeased. The hate for the house extended even to the birds perching on it. Ye Yuan naturally did not have much favorable impression towards Shangguan Lingxue too.
Shangguan Lingxue had yet to speak when the yellow shirt youth reprimanded, "Insolence! Do you know who she is? To actually dare to be so impudent!"
Ye Yuan looked at him indifferently and said, "Impudent? I wonder who's the one shouting and wrangling here, reversing the order of host and guest? Still say that others are impudent?"
The yellow shirt youth sneered coldly and said, "Reversing the order of host and guest? You mean that you're the owner of this place? I wonder since when did Sovereign Star Abyss's dojo become your territory?"
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "You don't know? It's something not long ago."
Since when had the yellow shirt youth suffered such provocation? He laughed from extreme anger and said, "Good! I'll lug you before Sovereign Star Abyss and ask him if this place is your territory!"
Shangguan Lingxue was greatly alarmed and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, Seventh Prince, don't!"
But it was already too late. Seventh Prince arrived beside Ye Yuan at lightning speed!
"Be careful! Ahh!" Shangguan Lingxue could not bear to see Ye Yuan's tragic state and closed her eyes as if she was in pain.
But it was only to hear a whistle. Then there was silence.
Several breaths had passed, yet, Shangguan Lingxue did not hear any activities. She could not help opening her eyes curiously.
With this look, Shangguan Lingxue could not help being greatly startled. Ye Yuan was currently standing and facing Seventh Price far away and actually looked like he was completely unscathed!
My God. A Second Level Crystal Formation Realm martial artist actually dodged an attack from the number one person in the capital's junior generation!
Who in the world was this young man?
"Heh heh, indeed have some capabilities. No wonder you dare to be so impertinent in front of this prince! But, you're still a little green in the end!" Seventh Prince snickered coldly.
En? Could it be . . .
Shangguang Lingxue looked towards Ye Yuan again. Indeed, she saw a trace of fresh blood flowing down along the corner of Ye Yuan's mouth. He sustained injuries in the end.
But to be able to escape with his life from Seventh Prince's hands, this young man was already very remarkable!
In the entire capital, only big brother Shangguan Lingyun could contend with him. The effects of other people were only to serve as a foil to his might.
"Roar!"
Seeing Ye Yuan injured, the White Light beside Ye Yuan became restless with anxiety.
Ye Yuan had the intention to stop, but his internal injuries were not light. It was already too late!
Only to hear a whoosh , a streak of white light left an afterimage behind in midair as it pounced towards Seventh Prince!
Seventh Price laughed coldly and struck with one hand, accurately hitting that streak of white light!
Crash!
White Light was sent flying out, crashing onto tea-table, smashing the tea-table into smithereens.
"White Light! Puhwark!"
Seeing White Light g
et injured, Ye Yuan could not help getting very anxious. With a jerk, it affected his wounds, and he vomited a mouthful of blood.
"Humph! A Tier 2 little beast. As overconfident as your master! Asking for trouble!" Seventh Prince said with a cold snort.
Seeing White Light being wounded, Shangguan Lingxue also became anxious and said, "Your Highness, they didn't intentionally offend you either. How can you deal such a heavy blow?"
As she spoke, Shangguan Lingxue arrived at White Light's side with a large stride, wanting to carry him up.
But just as her hands were about to touch White Light, White Light suddenly vanished before her eyes!
"Ah! You damn little animal! I'm going to kill you!"
Following that, Shangguang Lingxue heard Seventh Princes's shocked and furious voice.
Turning around to look, she saw that Seventh Prince's face had a few extra claw marks. Clearly, they were left behind by White Light.
Shangguan Lingxue's eyes involuntarily revealed astonishment. A Tier 2 little white tiger actually wounded Seventh Prince?
What was the background of this one person and one beast? Each of them actually had such extraordinary skills!
But White Light who succeeded in one try already returned to Ye Yuan's embrace, dripping with fresh blood, looking horrifyingly ghastly. His injuries were clearly very severe.
That slap from Seventh Prince earlier was really not light at all!
Ye Yuan lightly c.a.r.e.s.sed White Light. Taking in a deep breath, he said to Seventh Prince, "Seventh Prince, right? Very good. I've remembered this!"
Ye Yuan and White Light were together day and night. He had long treated him as an indispensable part of his own life already.
To talk about feelings, his feelings towards White Light was even deeper compared to Mo Yuntian and the rest!
Seventh Prince actually beat White Light to such a manner. This was something that Ye Yuan could not accept. Hence . . . he had to suffer Ye Yuan's wrath!
This Seventh Prince was indeed well-deserving of being the number one expert among the capital's junior generation. His strength was truly peerlessly powerful!
Although his realm was similar to Lan Bao's, his true combat power was not even on the same level as Lan Bao.
This Seventh Prince similarly comprehended true intent!
Hence, that one exchange earlier, Ye Yuan could not fully evade Seventh Prince's attack and sustained considerable internal injuries.
Under the situation where his movement technique could not gain any advantage, Ye Yuan's realm became his greatest shortfall. There was a full major realm disparity between the two of them!
Ye Yuan just sustaining injuries was already the best outcome.
Seventh Prince who had always feared neither heaven nor earth actually could not help shuddering when he saw Ye Yuan's ice cold eyes.
En? What's going on? I . . . actually feel fear? How is that possible? Seventh Prince could not quite believe it in his heart.
"Heh heh, still want to take revenge? That will also have to see if you have that opportunity!" Seven Prince grinned hideously.
This Seventh Prince was decisive in killing, taking action when he said so and completely did not say a word of rubbish!
His voice had yet to fade when his person already arrived in front of Ye Yuan. His movement technique was swift to the extreme!
Ye Yuan gritted his teeth and displayed his movement technique. At the same time, he condensed out a small handful of Thousand Flowing Petals to block in front of him.
Bang!
Even so, Ye Yuan was still sent flying out.
Seventh Prince's speed was too fast. Ye Yuan simply could not dodge in time!
"Puhwark!"
Ye Yuan vomited blood again. But he adamantly safeguarded White Light in his bosom and did not let him sustain a single bit of shock.
White Light's injuries were already very severe. If he received damage again, he would die.
If this were not the case, Ye Yuan would not clash head-on with Seventh Price either.
"Enough, Your Highness, Seventh Prince!" Shangguan Lingxue admonished.
Seventh Prince said flatly, "Lingxue, you should know my temperament. I absolutely won't permit anyone or anything that threatens my existence! This boy is rather abnormal. If I let him grow unchecked, he might really be able to threaten me! Therefore, he must die today!"
As he said, Seventh Prince placed his hands together. An extremely powerful essence energy undulation spread out!
Chapter 397 - Scram!
Seventh Prince's personality was extremely overbearing. He probably only maintained his friendliness and smiles in front of Shangguan Lingxue.
Towards some latent threats, Seventh Prince had always exterminated them while they were still in their budding state!
Ye Yuan was actually able to evade two of his attacks consecutively with Second Level Crystal Formation Realm strength. This was something utterly inconceivable.
Therefore, he decided to kill Ye Yuan!
Even if Shangguan Lingxue barred the way, he also had to kill Ye Yuan!
"Boy, in the capital, nobody dares to oppose me, Zhao Chenggan! All those who set themselves against me are already dead. You won't be an exception too! Don't blame me either. If you want to blame someone, then blame yourself for not growing eyes, to provoke an existence such as myself!" Seventh Prince said icily.
Finished talking, his figure moved, and already arrived before Ye Yuan.
Bang!
A huge explosion. Zhao Chenggan's figure fell back over a dozen steps before barely managing to stop his body.
His palm being returned, Zhao Chenggan's internal organs were in a disorderly mess.
"A-Alchemy King Shi!" Seeing the arrival clearly, Zhao Chenggan said in surprise.
The arrival was precisely Shi Haoran!
He turned around to take a look at the severely wounded Ye Yuan, his brows involuntarily knitted together.
"Alright?"
"Won't die!"
"Okay. Then you tend to your injuries. Leave the rest to me."
"No. I won't die. Borrow senior's pill refinement room to use!"
"En. Go ahead."
Ye Yuan casually took out a medicinal pill to consume and carried White Light into the pill refinement room. He did not look at Zhao Chenggan from start to end.
Zhao Chenggan's brows furrowed. He said to Shi Haoran, "Alchemy King Shi, he's your junior? Why haven't I heard about it before?"
Shi Haoran did not answer him. Raising one hand, a medicinal pill appeared in his hand.
Only to see him release gently. The medicinal pill fell. He grabbed it in his hand and casually rubbed it. A pile of powder fell from the palm of his hand.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Chenggan and Shangguan Lingxue's expression changed.
They came to find Shi Haoran precisely for the sake of requesting a medicinal pill from him.
Shi Haoran did not come out the entire time because he was refining the medicinal pill for them. That was why he did not detect the commotion outside.
Now that the medicinal pill was already refined, Shi Haoran actually destroyed it in front of them!
"You guys, leave. Don't come back in the future. This place doesn't welcome you! Of course, if Junior Apprentice Brother Ji forgives you, I won't say much. Please!"
Shi Haoran made a please leave gesture. The meaning of showing guests the door was already perfectly clear.
Zhao Chenggan's facial expression flickered erratically. Within this capital, he had always been high and lofty. Never had he suffered such treatment.
Even prior to this, Shi Haoran was all smiles towards him. For the sake of this brat, Shi Haoran actually fell out with him!
"Alchemy King Shi, it was this boy who offended me. That's why I made a move to punish him. Furthermore, I wasn't aware that he was your junior. That's why there was this misunderstanding." Zhao Chenggang explained.
Shi Haoran's strength was extremely formidable
. He also had exceedingly high status in the capital.
Zhao Chenggan felt that there was the need to explain to him. After all, this sort of thing like offending the Alchemist Association was not something amusing.
Although Shi Haoran could not represent the Alchemist Association, he was Sovereign Star Abyss's strongest eldest disciple.
To a very large degree, his attitude represented Sovereign Star Abyss's attitude!
Zhao Chenggan never would have thought that Ye Yuan was actually Shi Haoran's junior. It was a little troublesome this time.
But, he also had immense faith towards his own identity and strength. He believed that Shi Haoran would not easily offend him either.
One had to know that behind him stood the Fierce Gale World's most powerful, His Majesty, the Wind Emperor!
Yet, he was too naïve.
"I have no interest in hearing which of you is right or wrong. I only saw you trying to kill him just now! So, you can scram now!" Shi Haoran said coolly.
Zhao Chenggan was enraged upon hearing that and said, "Shi Haoran, me explaining to you is giving you face! You don't fail to appreciate others' kindness! Could it be that you wish to let the Alchemist Association break away from His Majesty, the Wind Emperor?"
"Me making you scram is already taking into account His Majesty, the Wind Emperor's face. Otherwise, do you think that you can leave Qixia Mountain alive? Alright, if you still don't get lost, I'm going to make a move!" Shi Haoran did not give face in the slightest.
Zhao Chenggan's expression changed again and again. Shi Haoran had always had a benign and uncontentious appearance. Today's Shi Haoran was his first time seeing it.
"Fine! I'll leave! You'll regret it, Shi Haoran! Lingxue, let's go!" Zhao Chenggan gritted his teeth and said.
Shi Haoran placed both hands behind his back and did not even look at them.
. . . . . .
Around an hour later, Ye Yuan walked out of the pill refinement room carrying White Light. Shi Haoran hurriedly went forward to greet him.
Seeing that Ye Yuan's complexion was very pale, Shi Haoran said with a frown, "You're really messing around! Suffering such heavy injuries and still forcefully refining pills. Wouldn't that pile injury on top of injuries?"
