Yue Mengli covered her mouth and said with a smile, "Didn't Mister Ye save me too?"
Being together with Ye Yuan, Yue Mengli was meeting with her original looks.
Looking at a beauty under the moon. This gentle smile from Yue Mengli seemingly stirred the moonlight, captivating even the moonlight!
Ye Yuan actually stared at her somewhat dazedly.
"So beautiful!" Ye Yuan was overcome by an irresistible impulse to give a praise.
Yue Mengli was stunned and actually lowered her head with a blush all over her face.
Ever since growing up, the men who flattered Yue Mengli was too many to count. But she did not even spare a glance at those men's fawning.
But, not knowing why, hearing Ye Yuan's words today, she actually had a feeling of palpitation and excitement.
For such a long time, Yue Mengli followed Ye Yuan on the quiet and was already very clear on his character.
She knew that Ye Yuan's words earlier was wholehearted praise and did not have the slightest intention of being frivolous.
Ye Yuan was not that kind of lecherous individual. Or else, placing a kingdom-toppling great beauty like Xiao Ruyan in front of him, normal people would have long taken her into their harem. How would it become this sort of relationship now?
It was precisely because of so that Ye Yuan's praises appeared even more precious.
Ye Yuan also realized that he lost composure and said with an awkward smile, "Miss Yue . . ."
"Mister Ye better call me Li-er. Or Mengli works too," Yue Mengli responded.
Ye Yuan did not try to feign either and said with a nod, "Then I'd better call you Li-er. You don't keep calling me Mister Ye either. Just say my name directly."
Yue Mengli nodded her head. Ye Yuan continued, "How was that considered saving people? It was just displaying my meager skills before an expert."
But Yue Mengli shook her head and said, "With my looks at that time, you and I were complete strangers, and you actually risked your life to save Li-er. Li-er has always engraved it in my heart. Furthermore, Ye Yuan, you have the compassionate heart of a doctor. Seeing that I had a strange ailment, you didn't stint in sharing the pill formula and divine soul mystic art. Such breadth of mind is highly precious to Li-er."
Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "Alright, alright, let's not blow each other's trumpets here. I have a score about everything in my heart. Li-er's ailment, just count on me! After the Tranquil Cloud Sect's matters settle, I'll enter the Endless Forest to help you find this Azure Spirit Tree."
Yue Mingli smiled sweetly and said, "Then Li-er give thanks in advance."
Finished talking, the pair exchanged glances and smiled, but the atmosphere became somewhat ambiguous.
As they walked, they actually fell silent.
Finally, it was Yue Mengli who broke this silence. She said, "Ye Yuan, you're really a prodigious talent. I observe that your current aura is only stronger and not weaker than those at the Third Level Sea Transformation Realm! In the Sea Transformation Realm, you're nigh invincible! Moreover, when you were at the Crystal Formation Realm, you actually comprehended the elementary form of a supreme true intent! It is truly mind-boggling! With your talent, even when placed in the Divine Realm, you're also a pinnacle existence. I really dare not believe that you came from a tiny little secular world kingdom."
Yue Mengli's horizons were absolutely not what Lower Realm martial artists could compare to. Things that many Lower Realm martial artists did not understand, Yue Mengli knew.
But, the more so, the more Yue Mengli felt that Ye Yuan was an enigmatic existence.
Or perhaps, it was precisely this sort of enigmatic disposition which deeply attracted her.
"Haha. This Ye naturally had some fortuitous encounters. Furthermore, I'm not foreign to the Divine Realm's matters either. But this Ye, I, has my own difficulties that are hard to disclose. When there's a chance in the future, this Ye will definitely speak candidly," Ye Yuan said.
Yue Mengli's eyes flickered, and she gave a melancholic sigh as he said, "Which genius such as yourself doesn't have their own secrets. I won't ask then."
Ye Yuan gave a slight smile, feeling that this Yue Mengli was really considerate.
When speaking and doing things, she gave people a feeling of the spring breeze c.a.r.e.s.sing one's cheeks.
"Thank you very much, Li-er," Ye Yuan said with a smile.
Yue Mengli said smilingly, "You didn't invite me out of the sect at night just to chit-chat and admire the moon, right?"
Ye Yuan chortled and said, "Of course not!"
As he said, Ye Yuan suddenly erupted. A sword finger shot over towards the jungle.
Only to see an azure light flash, vanishing into the dense vegetation.
"Ah!" A miserable cry was heard. There was actually somebody lying in wait there!
Yue Mengli did not have any surprised expression towards this. Evidently, she had known long ago.
Right then, two black shadows suddenly scurried not far away, fleeing helter-skelter.
Ye Yuan gave a cold laugh and shot out another two streaks of sword qi!
Another two tragic cries sounded.
Ye Yuan dusted his hands and said, "Alright. Those spying little thieves are cleaned up. Now, we can get down to proper business!"
As he said this, Ye Yuan took out a small flag from his storage ring. It was shockingly the Profound Ice Flag that Wei Xiao gave him back at the Grand Yan Space!
Yue Mengli's gaze turned intent, and she said, "It's actually an array formation profound artifact!"
"Hur hur, Li-er has sharp eyes!" Ye Yuan said with a chuckle.
"You're trying to . . ." Yue Mengli said curiously.
"You'll know in a while."
As he said, Ye Yuan mustered up essence energy. The Profound Ice Flag emitted a dazzling light!
Chapter 465 - Tian Yu’s Resolve
The vast and mighty army gathered before the gates once more with He Mingde taking the lead. The air of an overlord was displayed fully beyond all doubt.
Lin Chao came forward from the army. He yelled out in the direction of the Tranquil Cloud Sect, "Ye Yuan, an old friend came here to see you, and you don't even come out to say hi. This isn't the way to treat guests!"
Finished talking, Lin Chao was not in a rush either, quietly waiting for Ye Yuan's reply.
Hearing Lin Chao's yell, Mo Yuntian said in surprise, "We came back so secretively. How did the Purple Mansion Sect know that you're directing the grand array?"
Ye Yuan was also rather surprised. But he reacted to it very quickly and said with a smile, "Hur hur, this person, Senior Apprentice Brother Mo knows as well. It's really an old friend!"
"I know too? Ah! You're saying . . . Lin Chao?" Mo Yuntian reacted to it too.
Ye Yuan smiled as he nodded and said, "This person is full of schemes and has already witnessed my performance in the mystic realm. Him guessing that I had returned isn't strange."
Mo Yuntian's brows knitted tightly. Evidently, his impression of this Lin Chao was very deep.
One could say that the situation formed in the Southern Domain right now, the root all lay with this Lin Chao!
"Looking at it, the idea of using Grand Elder they all to threaten us was surely came up by him. Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, you mustn't fall for it!" Mo Yuntian said solemnly.
Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Haha. I'll go and meet with this Lin Chao!"
"No way!"
"Out of the question!"
. . . . . .
Ye Yuan was just about to leave the grand array when all of the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples actually blocked his exit without any prior consultation and refused to let him leave.
"Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, you're the sect's last hope. If anything were to happen to you, the Tranquil Cloud Sect would be thoroughly finished!"
"Yeah, Senior Apprentice Brother Ye. They are clearly trying to force you out in the open. You mustn't fall for it!"
"Senior Appren
tice Brother Ye, we can't let you deliver yourself to death!"
. . . . . .
The Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples were all clamoring to speak. All in all, the meaning that they were trying to bring across was to not let Ye Yuan go through dangers easily.
Right then, Lin Chao's voice came over once more.
"Ye Yuan, are you not even going to honor an old friend's invitation? I brought immense sincerity over here this time. You take a look. Grand Elder Skymaple, Sect Master Luo, Hall Head Xiao, Hall Head Ling, I brought all of them here for you!"
When these words came out, everyone's faces all changed.
Ye Yuan said, "Haha, looks like whether I go out or not isn't up to me!"
The faces of those Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples were all very conflicted but not a single one moved their foot away. Evidently, they were still unwilling to let Ye Yuan go out in their hearts.
Yet, Skymaple, Luo Qingfeng, and the rest, their lives were in danger. The disciples truly did not know what they should do.
Right at that moment, Tian Yu suddenly came forward.
Only to see his eyes crimson red throughout, his entire person like he was possessed.
When Ye Yuan saw Tian Yu like this, he could not help being stunned too. "Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu?"
Tian Yu suddenly shut his eyes, took in a deep breath, and snapped open his eyes and said, "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, don't go out! Grandpa they . . . they all will understand!"
This sentence, ten over words, Tian Yu seemed to have used all of his strength.
Especially the latter half of the sentence. He practically choked it out through sobs.
When he finished talking, his face was already covered in tears.
Such a decision was too cruel to him.
Tian Yu was practically brought up by Skymaple hand-in-hand. Their relationship, everyone in the Tranquil Cloud Sect knew.
Yet now, Tian Yu actually said to give up on Grand Elder!
Everyone's gazes focused on Tian Yu, and their eyes actually turned red.
Everybody fell silent. This decision was an extremely arduous decision for everyone.
Yet, Lin Chao seemed to know what was happening here. His voice rang out untimely again. "Ye Yuan, I know that you can hear me! Look, I invited you out to meet up and have a chat properly, but you just have to make me resort to force. How about this? From now onwards, every 15 minutes, I'll kill a Tranquil Cloud Sect prisoner all the way until you come out!"
When the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples heard this, they wished that they could go out and tear Lin Chao into shreds.
But one had to acknowledge that Lin Chao's words seemed to clamp down on their throats, making it extremely uncomfortable for them.
Ye Yuan said helplessly, "You all heard as well. We can't very well look on passively as Grand Elder they all die in front of us, right? Everybody relax. I'll be right back. Nothing will happen."
Ye Yuan's figure moved and passed the group of Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples.
Yet, right at this time, a figure blocked in front of him. It was precisely Tian Yu.
"Ye Yuan, not that I fear death, but seeking death like this is really not worth it! Any one of us can go and die, only you alone can't! Without you, the Tranquil Cloud Sect will thoroughly lose any hope for taking revenge!" Tian Yu said resolutely.
Ye Yuan was touched in his heart, but he said with a smile, "Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu, rest assured. I'm not going to court death."
Tian Yu was very clear about Ye Yuan's character. Except, the sect protecting grand array was Ye Yuan's final measure. How could he be willing to believe Ye Yuan's words?
Even if Ye Yuan broke through to the Sea Transformation Realm, it was also not possible to be He Mingde's match!
Going out like this, what was it but seeking death?
"Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, if you must go out, then kill me first! If you insist on leaving, I know that I can't stop you, but I can kill myself!"
As he said, Tian Yu raised his sword and put it against his neck.
Ye Yuan did not think that Tian Yu would actually be so decisive. He said helplessly, "Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu, I'm really not deceiving you. Time is of the essence. Explain to you again later. Going to have to offend!"
As he said, Ye Yuan's figure flashed, arriving in front of Tian Yu the next instant.
Tian Yu did not even get to react and was brought down by Ye Yuan.
"Senior Apprentice Brother Mo, help me take care of Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu. I'll be right back," Ye Yuan said.
Finished talking, Ye Yuan flew away.
. . . . . .
"Ye Yuan, looks like you don't care about these Tranquil Cloud Sect people's lives anymore. Then I'll make a move! Remember to find somebody to help collect their corpses in a while! Do it!" Lin Chao's voice resounded throughout the entire Tranquil Cloud Sect.
"Halt!"
A voice came over. Ye Yuan's figure slowly appeared out from the grand array.
When Lin Chao saw Ye Yuan, he could not help it but to show a smile because his scheme had succeeded.
"Ye Yuan, it's really been a long time we haven't see each other!" Lin Chao said with a smile.
Ye Yuan snorted coldly and said, "Humph! Lin Chao, it's really you!"
"Huhu, these words should be said by me instead! I really didn't think that you could actually escape from the Fierce Gale World! Truly inconceivable!' Lin Chao said.
"Zhao Tianyin is a fool. What's so strange about escaping from his hands?" Ye Yuan said indifferently.
Lin Chao was stupefied when he heard that and said, "Who's Zhao Tianyin?"
"You don't even know the Wind Emperor's exalted name and actually work yourself to the bone for him. I really feel sad for you!" Ye Yuan said with a look of pity.
"H-His Majesty, the Wind Emperor's name! You . . . You have met the Wind Emperor, His Excellency?"
Lin Chao no longer had the composure from before. What replaced it was astonishment.
He thought that Ye Yuan was being hunted down the entire time and that being able to escape was simply by luck.
But now, Ye Yuan said that he met the Wind Emperor and even escaped from the Wind Emperor's hands!
How was this possible?
Then he heard Ye Yuan nonchalantly said, "Haha, not only have I met him, his elderly self . . . even kowtowed before me to admit his fault!"
Chapter 466 - Obliterated?
When Ye Yuan's words were heard, not just Lin Chao, all of the Purple Mansion Sect's disciples were overwhelmed with indignation!
They felt that this was Ye Yuan insulting His Majesty, the Wind Emperor!
How could a puny little Tranquil Cloud Sect disciple make the high and mighty Wind Emperor kneel down?
Lin Chao's expression became very ugly, and he said with a cold grunt, "Ye Yuan, you're challenging my baseline! Looks like if I don't show you some colors, you'll forever not know pain! Come, men! Bring Ling Potian up here for me and kill him!"
The Purple Mansion Sect's Sect Master seemed to not have the intention of talking and left everything here to Lin Chao.
Under Lin Chao's command, Ling Potian was brought before the formation very quickly by two Sea Transformation Realm martial artists.
Ling Potian still had that icy-cold look and was pushed and shoved by two Sea Transformation Realm martial artists. But his expression was one with stubbornness!
When Ye Yuan saw the situation, his face changed, and he said, "Lin Chao, I already came out. What else do you want?"
Lin Chao said with a cold smile, "His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, is a paramount existence. You actually dare to defame him so! This is the result of you slandering him!"
As he said, Lin Chao did a chopping action. A Sea Transformation Realm martial artist raised his hand and lowered his blade without even furrowing his eyebrows. Ling Potian died just like this.
Ye Yuan was livid with rage. Clearly, he did not think that Lin Chao would
actually be so decisive to directly kill people.
Lin Chao waved his hand. But this time, Xiao Jian was brought up!
"Ye Yuan, I think that you still haven't figure out just how is holding the initiative right now!" Lin Chao looked at Ye Yuan with a proud look.
Ye Yuan's expression was very ugly, and he said with a cold snort, "Lin Chao, don't go too far!"
"Haha. When you used the grand array to cut down our three grand elders, why didn't you say words like this? I really never expected that you could actually rely on a grand array to perform to such an extent. Honestly speaking, if not for guessing that you had returned, I really wouldn't have dared to recommend Sect Master to use such measures. I think that with your personality, you probably wouldn't watch passively as the few of them died in front of you, right? Hahaha!"
Talking about how he was proud of himself, Lin Chao laughed wildly unceasingly.
"Lin Chao! I really regret not killing you back then in the mystic realm!" Ye Yuan said, through gnashed teeth.
"There is no medicine that can be eaten for regret in this world! Speaking of which, if not for you bringing me past those grand arrays, I wouldn't have a way to crack the Six Extreme Seals Grand Array! For my Fierce Gale World's aboriginals to be able to appear in the sight of people once again, it's truly all thanks to you!" Lin Chao became more delighted the more he talked.
Speaking of which, Lin Chao also suffered a fair bit of losses in the hands of Ye Yuan too, and he almost died in Ye Yuan's hands a number of times.
Now that he could finally take revenge on Ye Yuan, Lin Chao was also incomparably free from inhibitions in his heart.
Seeing that visage of Ye Yuan's that was black like the bottom of a pot, Lin Chao felt liberating to the max.
"Talk then. What terms do you want before you're willing to let Grand Elder they all go!" Ye Yuan said.
Lin Chao said smilingly, "Very simple. As long as you get rid of this sect protecting grand array and surrender to my Purple Mansion Sect, I can spare their lives!"
Ye Yuan's expression changed, and he immediately refused, "That's impossible! Keep dreaming!"
Lin Chao had an amused look as he said, "Is that so . . ."
As he spoke, Lin Chao's hand slowly raised.
