Who knew that the Wind Emperor completely did not care about Star Abyss's face and directly laid vicious hands on Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan immediately understood, and he followed up and said, "So that's how it is! Really too grateful to that mysterious expert! Or else, none of us would be able to return this time!"
Towards this woman whose looks were not in any way attractive, the group of seniors all did not pay much attention. Rather, it was Xiao Ruyan that made several people involuntarily look a couple more times. But their focus right now was still on Mei Zhen.
Ye Yuan did not dawdle and very quickly helped Mei Zhen remove the divine soul inhibitions too.
"I . . . I actually still have a day where I can see the light of day once more!" When Mei Zhen saw everyone, he was also overcome with emotions, and his entire being seemingly aged considerably. After a round of small talk, Mei Zhen suddenly said to Mo Yuntian and the rest, "Ye Yuan sneaked into the Fierce Gale World all alone. It was definitely near certain death! The ordeals experienced in-between this isn't what we can imagine! And today, he actually rescued all of us. Within favor and reason, we should thank him!"
As he said, Mei Zhen took the lead and gave a solemn bow to Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan had yet to support Mei Zhen up in time when the others followed with a solemn bow as well.
"Elder Mei, Senior Brothers, rescuing you guys is something within my duty. We have to hurry back to Tranquil Cloud Sect and inform the matter of the Fierce Gale World invading to Lord Sect Master!" Ye Yuan said.
Everyone naturally did not have reason to disagree. They packed up and headed towards Cloud Dream Mountain Range.
. . . . . .
A full day later, Ye Yuan's group finally appeared outside the Cloud Dream Mountain Range.
Looking at the blazing sun in the sky, everyone gave rise to a sigh in their hearts.
"This entire way, we've already encountered quite a few waves of Fierce Gale World martial artists. Looks like the Cloud Dream Mountain Range has already become their base camp!" Mei Zhen said with a frown.
"There has already been several months' time since the passageway was linked. Fierce Gale World martial artists turning this place into the headquarters isn't something strange."
"Also don't know what Tranquil Cloud Sect is like now. I'm very worried about Lord Sect Master and Master." Mo Yuntian said.
"There is still several months' time on foot needed from here to the Tranquil Cloud Sect. Such a long time, I don't know why kind of unforeseen event will happen either!" Mei Zhen said worriedly.
The spirit boats on their bodies were long swiped clean by people. Now, they were virtually all on their own.
Forget about spirit boats, even a single piece of essence crystal was a no.
At this time, Xiao Ruyan who did not speak the entire time suddenly opened her mouth to say, "If it's spirit boat, I still have one here. But, it's just a low-grade spirit boat."
Everybody was overjoyed hearing this.
"That's really great! Wonder if Miss Xiao's spirit boat can be lent to us for use? Rest assured Miss Xiao, as long as we return to the sect, we'll definitely give you sufficient recompense," Mei Zhen said.
Along the way, everyone also came to know Xiao Ruyan's origins and identity. As Ye Yuan's presiding chief disciple, everyone would naturally give her sufficient respect.
Furthermore, on the way, the blabbermouth Yan-er already uttered out the various kinds of things Ye Yuan did in the Fierce Gale World. It naturally shocked everyone until they were speechless for a long time.
Ye Yuan was already at the Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm now. Just in terms of realm, he already caught up to Mo Yuntian, while his combat power even ditched everyone several streets behind.
Even Mei Zhen this sect elder was far from being Ye Yuan's match anymore.
Just based on the match between Ye Yuan and Zhao Chenggan, apart from the sect master Luo Qingfeng, most likely, nobody in the entire Tranquil Cloud Sect would dare to say that they could definitely win him.
If they returned to the Tranquil Cloud Sect, Ye Yuan's position would naturally rise like how the boat rises when the water rise, and become the sect's upper echelon.
Everyone also knew that this meant that the day Ye Yuan left the Tranquil Cloud Sect was ever closer.
Mei Zhen opened his mouth. It was naturally not nice for Xiao Ruyan to reject. The group rode the flying spirit boat and flew in the direction of the Tranquil Cloud Sect.
Xiao Ruyan's flying spirit boat's quality was very high. The party only used seven to eight days' time to arrive beyond Spirit Blessing Mountain.
Through these few days of recuperation and assistance from medicinal pills, Ye Yuan's injuries were already healed 70% - 80%.
This remaining 20% - 30% was primarily making up for the deficit blood essence.
This was awful for other martial artists. But Ye Yuan had his means to make up for these blood essence.
It was just that he did not have the necessary medicinal herbs anymore, so he temporarily did not move to refine medicinal pills.
Disembarking the spirit boat, everyone arrived outside the sect gates but discovered that there was nobody guarding outside the gates.
Ye Yuan's brows furrowed and he immediately had a bad premonition.
"Doesn't seem right. Why would there be no disciples guarding the sect gates? Can't . . . Can't be that something happened, right?" Mei Zhen's heart fluttered.
"The sect protecting grand array is already broken. Looks like . . . an accident really happened to the sect. Go, let's hurry over to take a look," Ye Yuan said sombrely.
Seeing this sort of situation, everyone's joy from surviving the disaster immediately evaporated into nothing.
The group rushed over to the top of the mountain.
Traveling to halfway up the mountain, everyone's footsteps suddenly came to a halt and were stunned by the scene before their eyes.
Within sight, were corpses wearing Tranquil Cloud Sect disciple outfits all around.
The fresh blood already pooled to form small rivers, flowing quietly down the mountain, looking utterly ghastly.
These disciples were all the sect's outer-sect disciples. Their strength was not great, but massacring on a large-scale like this made Ye Yuan and co.'s fury ignite all at once!
"Who . . . Who did this! Is this wanting to exterminate my Tranquil Cloud Sect to the last one?"
Mo Yuntian's entire body was trembling. This scene made his fury peak.
"Blood debts to be paid in blood! If I find out who did this, I'll definitely hack him into pieces!" Tian Yu gnashed his teeth in hatred and said.
The most composed Ti Wujiu was also livid at this time, tightly clenching both fists. Clearly, he was trying his best to curb his rage.
"There seem to be essence energy undulations coming from the top of the mountain. There might be a fierce battle happening! Let's hurry over!' Ye Yuan suddenly said.
Chapter 445 - Allow Me!
When Ye Yuan's words came out, everyone was filled with shock!
Ye Yuan's perception towards heaven and earth essence energy already reached such a level?
Even Mei Zhen could not sense essence energy undulations coming from the top of the mountain too!
But they did not have time to be astonished anymore. Since they returned at such an opportune moment, they naturally had to join the battle and protect the sect!
"Go! Kill this pack of bastards and avenge these dead disciples!" Mei Zhen flashed his longsword and roared.
"How can my Tranquil Cloud Sect's thousands of years of inheritance be eradicated willy-nilly! Those who violate my sect, kill without pardon!" Tian Yu yelled.
Ye Yuan did not speak and just quietly followed the group of seniors up the mountain.
"Miss Yue, this matter, leave it to this Ye and my seniors to resolve ourselves. In the future, unless there are no other alternatives, Miss must not draw on soul force! If this continues, even immortals will find it hard to save as w
ell," Ye Yuan transmitted his words.
"Li-er knows. Many thanks for Mister Ye's concern," Yue Mengli replied.
Further up the mountain, there were increasingly more corpses. But among them also had enemy forces dead bodies mixed inside.
Looking closely, everyone was even more taken aback with shock. On the bodies of these enemy forces' disciples were actually wearing the Purple Mansion Sect's attire!
"This . . . What's going on here? Could it be that the ones who invaded our Tranquil Cloud Sect are actually the Purple Mansion Sect?" Mei Zhen said in surprise.
"If one were to say who has the greatest likelihood of invading our Tranquil Cloud Sect, it's none other than the Heavenly Sky Sect! While the Purple Mansion Sect is strong, they actually dare to invade other sects under the Heavenly Sky Sect's eyelids?" Mo Yuntian was also unbelievably shocked.
The Heavenly Sky Sect's might was indisputable. Only by combining the other seven sect's strength could they maintain a delicate balance with the Heavenly Sky Sect.
If the other seven sects had infighting, how could the Heavenly Sky Sect let go of such a good opportunity?
Could the brains of the Purple Mansion Sect's upper echelons all be damaged?
"Did you all forget about Lin Feng?" Ye Yuan suddenly said.
Everyone was abruptly startled. How could they possibly forget Lin Feng?
It was precisely Lin Feng's masterpiece that threw them behind bars and even becoming slaves.
"The Purple Mansion Sect endured patiently for many years. Their strength is most likely far from as simple as the surface! That Lin Feng's age isn't considered old and he actually has Fourth Level Sea Transformation Realm cultivation. Not saying that they have large numbers of experts, but concealing a couple of Soul Sea Realm martial artists, it probably isn't that easy for the Heavenly Sky Sect to want to discover," Ye Yuan said.
With Ye Yuan saying this, everyone's heart plummeted to rock bottom.
The Purple Mansion Sect was a chess piece buried in the Endless World by the wind emperor. After so many years of secret development, their strength was most likely already unfathomable.
Everyone had a feeling in their hearts that the Southern Domain's situation right now most likely already underwent an earth-shaking change!
But these were all for later. Mei Zhen and the others did not dare to dawdle and sped along the way and arrived at the mountain peak very soon.
Within sight, the entire Tranquil Cloud Sect was already in an upheaval!
There were fighting, and battle cries all around. Everywhere were dead bodies!
The originally quiet and serene Spirit Blessing Mountain was already in an abyss of suffering right now.
"Purple Mansion Sect bastards! You will all die a horrible death! Argh!" cried a Crystal Formation Realm disciple, giving a miserable cry and perished together with a Purple Mansion Sect disciple.
Yet, this was just a minority situation. Regardless whether it was in numbers or strength, the Purple Mansion Sect disciples far surpassed the Tranquil Cloud Sect.
Just the Purple Mansion Sect's Sea Transformation Realm martial artists were as many as over a dozen. Although they were only low-stage Sea Transformation Realm, to deal with some Crystal Formation Realm disciples, it was ample.
While on the Tranquil Cloud Sect's side, they actually did not see a single Sea Transformation Realm elder!
The battle was simply a one-sided situation!
Many Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples were facing many people from the other side alone. How could they be these Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples' match?
When Mei Zhen and the others saw such a tragic state, how could they hold back? They wielded their swords and were about to charge forward.
But before his figure had yet to move, he was held back by someone from behind.
Turning around to take a look, it was actually Ye Yuan.
Only to hear Ye Yuan lightly leave behind two words as he walked past Mei Zhen, "Allow me."
Ye Yuan's figure drifted and arrived at the center of the battlefront.
Immediately, there was a Purple Mansion Sect disciple who charged up without fear of death!
An azure sword light instantly appeared. That Purple Mansion Sect disciple had yet to even react, and his head and body were separated.
"Looks like this Purple Mansion Sect's attack has already thoroughly infuriated Mister Ye!" Yue Mengli said calmly.
"Truly a bunch of fellows who don't know life from death! They probably don't even know how terrifying Mister Ye will be once he becomes enraged!" Yan-er also had a cold smile at the corners of her mouth.
Towards the Purple Mansion Sect's sect annihilating conduct, Yan-er was very disdainful in her heart.
"This . . . What's Junior Apprentice Brother Ye going to do?" Tian Yu asked puzzledly.
Mo Yuntian seemed to have guessed a little and said in shock, "He didn't let us attack; could it be that he wants to deal with all of the Purple Mansion Sect disciples alone?"
"W-What kind of joke is this?! There are several hundred Purple Mansion Sect disciples here. Furthermore, the vast majority of them are Crystal Formation Realm martial artists. Among them, there are even over a dozen Sea Transformation Realm martial artists. Junior Apprentice Brother Ye he . . . wants to deal with it alone?" Tian Yu almost jumped up.
But Xiao Ruyan's curled her mouth and said with a proud look, "You guys watch well. Master alone is enough!"
The group of seniors all exchanged glances and looked at Ye Yuan with disbelief.
And at this time, Ye Yuan pointed Canghua Sword at the sky. Countless flower petals started condensing in the air!
"This . . . is this Junior Apprentice Brother Ye's Thousand Flowing Petals? Is there a mistake? How could he condense so much flower petals?"
Tian Yu had seen Ye Yuan's Thousand Flowing Petals once. But back then, Ye Yuan was still just a Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist. At that time, although the power of this move was great, it was not formidable to this sort of extent!
There were increasingly more and more flower petals condensing in the air. It finally alarmed all of the martial artists present!
"What's going on here? Why would it rain flower petals from the sky?"
"You dumb*ss. This is formed from heaven and earth essence energy. Somebody is casting a skill!"
"W-Who actually has such formidable strength? Even First Elder probably can't mobilize such horrifying heaven and earth essence energy either, right?"
"Quick, look! It's that boy casting it!"
At this time, there were finally several Sea Transformation Realm martial artists who felt that something was wrong. Somebody shouted out, "Quickly! The few of you go together and finish off that punk! This move of that punk is somewhat sinister!"
When these words were finished saying, over a dozen late-stage Crystal Formation Realm martial artists and several Sea Transformation Realm martial artists abandoned their original opponents and all converged towards Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan looked at this scene coldly, and from his mouth, he said coolly, "All of you dregs can go and die already."
The flower petals which covered the entire sky seemed to have spirituality at this moment, churning towards the Purple Mansion Sect martial artists in cl.u.s.ters!
The hundreds of Purple Mansion Sect experts present all suffered the assault of the flower petals. And those Sea Transformation Realm martial artists were heavily focused targets.
The flower petals gathered on their side were multiple times of Crystal Formation Realm martial artists!
After two breaths, there were Purple Mansion Sect disciples starting to give off miserable cries.
After five breaths, more and more Purple Mansion Sect disciple were giving off miserable cries.
For a moment, innumerable tragic cries linked up, reverberating through the skies.
Those Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples who stopped could not resist shuddering when they heard their opponents' wretched screams.
Under the soaring flowers, it was akin to a meat grinder, wantonly reaping the lives of these Purple Mansion Sect disciples.
After a hundred breaths, the entire mountain peak was already deathly silent.
Apart from Yue Mengli and a small minority, everyone was struck dumb with amazement by this scene.
All the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples were staring fixedly at that young man's figure in the center of the battlefield, speechless from shock.
At this very moment, Ye Yuan was akin to a fiend god. Even the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples were not able to easily recognize him.
"I-Is it Ye Yuan?"
After a long time, someone suddenly asked weakly, finally breaking the battlefield's serenity.
Ye Yuan turned around to look. It was actually someone familiar!
"Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang Jing!" Ye Yuan also said with a faint smile.
Hearing Ye Yuan's words, Zhang Jing's entire body trembled. "Y-Ye Yuan! It's really you! So you're alright! That's really great!"
As he was talking, Zhang Jing's eyes actually welled up a little with hot tears.
Zhang Jing was the person who led Ye Yuan in the sect. Although the two people did not have any deep friendship afterward, time passed and circ.u.mstances have changed. Everyone's feelings were seemingly sublimated.
Moreover, Zhang Jing had considerable comprehensions after the fight with Ye Yuan. At this time, he had long become a Crystal Formation Realm martial artist!
Hence, in his heart, Zhang Jing was still fairly grateful towards Ye Yuan.
This time, Ye Yuan and the others entered deep into the mystic realm, and not a single one actually returned. Everybody no longer held hopes towards their survival.
Now, when they met, the agitation in Zhang Jing's heart could be imagined.
Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Not just me alone. You look!"
As he said, Ye Yuan pointed to Mo Yuntian and the rest. Mo Yuntian and the rest also moved closer at this time and gathered together with everyone.
When Zhang Jing saw Mei Zhen, Mo Yuntian, and the rest, tears could not resist flowing again.
