Compared to Li Junjie's move, Ye Yuan's Violet Rain Cool Breeze was freaking weak. It was like a little kid showing some gaudy display.
"Ye Yuan, be careful!" Luo Qingfeng yelled out.
Yet, Ye Yuan did not seem to hear it at all. He still displayed this Violet Rain Cool Breeze.
Gu Tianyou watched this scene calm and composedly as if he already saw the result of Ye Yuan this genius being ruined.
They all knew that Ye Yuan was surely a genius that the Tranquil Cloud Sect expended immeasurable energy to groom.
Destroying Ye Yuan, it was equivalent to ruining the Tranquil Cloud Sect's future.
"Hehe, my guidance is here! You have to receive it well!" Li Junjie said with a delighted smile, stabbing towards Ye Yuan.
But, at this time, Ye Yuan's Violet Rain Cool Breeze was already executed completely too, charging towards Li Junjie as well.
The two moves intersected. Ye Yuan's move was weak like a tiny tree in a fierce gale, a small boat in the boundless seas.
Bang!
The two people's attacks finally collided together. Yet, Ye Yuan did not perish in one blow as everyone imagined.
On the contrary, that very instant he collided with Ye Yuan's attack, Li Junjie seemed to be hit by somebody with a huge hammer, flying out directly.
Smash!
Li Junjie just happened to be sent flying to where he sat originally, smashing the chair into smithereens.
Gu Tianyou and Qin Yan both did not react to it and was actually dazed for some time.
Of course, the stupefied ones were not just them. There were also Skymaple, Luo Qingfeng and the rest.
"How is that possible? Junior Apprentice Brother Li's Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art is already close to the degree of major accomplishment. How could he possibly lost to this brat?" Gu Tianyou said disbelievingly.
Qin Yan did not speak. But his eyes when looking at Ye Yuan became immensely grave.
"Senior Apprentice Brother Li's Violet Rain Cool Breeze is indeed formidable. Even flying out is actually so cool, letting Ye Yuan benefit a great deal!" Ye Yuan exclaimed in admiration.
Bang!
At this time, Li Junjie crawled up swiftly, sending wood ch.i.p.s in front of him flying with a kick. He roared, "Stinking brat! I'll kill you!"
Li Junjie already went completely berserk, wanting to kill Ye Yuan at all costs.
Even in the Myriad Sword Sect, there were also not many who could make Li Junjie so wretched looking. Now, he was actually beaten to this state by a Tranquil Cloud Sect brat who was still wet behind his ears. This was something that he could not accept.
The Myriad Sword Sect had acquired the full set of Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art. Li Junjie had immersed in this path for over twenty years and was also just a step away from comprehending sword intent. How could he possibly lose to the Tranquil Cloud Sect's people?
If he lost to the Tranquil Cloud Sect's upper echelons, it was still alright. But Ye Yuan was just a Tranquil Cloud Sect's junior disciple. How could he possibly lose to somebody like this?
The Myriad Sword Sect was one of the three strongest sects in the Northern Domain. Li Junjie's strength could also be ranked among the entire Endless World's junior generation.
Now, he actually lost to a small sect's disciple?
Li Junjie's figure moved, but there was a blur before his eyes. Qin Yan blocked in front of him.
"Senior Brother, you move aside! I'm going to kill this punk!" Li Junjie howled.
But Qin Yan said coolly, "Forget it. You . . . are not his match!"
When Qin Yan's words came out, Li Junjie and Gu Tianyou were both dazed.
Especially Li Junjie. He wondered if he heard wrongly and asked in incredulity, "S-Senior Apprentice Brother, what did you say?"
Qin Yan turned around and said with a solemn expression, "This boy has already fully comprehended the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art. You . . . are not his match!"
Chapter 473 - Truth Coming to Light
"C-Comprehended fully?"
Li Junjie seemed to have a tub of cold water splash down; sobering up instantaneously.
He looked at Qin Yan. The latter was nodding his head and said, "His Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Intent has already reached the state of returning to the origin. You can't possibly beat him. I really didn't think that after so many years passed, the Tranquil Cloud Sect actually produced such a character!"
Finished talking, Qin Yan looked at Ye Yuan with an unkind expression and said, "Punk, ability to disguise as a pig to eat a tiger is pretty good!"
"Disguising as a pig to eat a tiger? Huhu, is there a need to disguise as a pig to eat the tiger when dealing with you people?" Ye Yuan said with a faint smile
Qin Yan's face fell slightly. Towards Ye Yuan's attitude, he was very displeased.
As the Myriad Sword Sect's junior generation's number one person, wherever Qin Yan walked, admiration and flattering voices would resound. Today, he was actually looked down upon by a kid.
Qin Yan narrowed his eyes and said, "Boy, don't think that you can be c.o.c.ky by comprehending true intent! You need to know that there is always somebody stronger!"
"The three of you ran to the Tranquil Cloud Sect to make a big show of your prowess, and then injured my fellow sect members. Now you're saying that I'm c.o.c.ky? Your logic simply differs from ordinary people!" Ye Yuan said with a cold smile.
"Humph! What a sharp tongue! We are here on the sect's orders to investigate the Southern Domain's change. Your Tranquil Cloud Sect is already a lone island. We came here to rescue you all," Qin Yan said nonchalantly.
Hearing Qin Yan's words, the corner of Ye Yuan's mouth revealed a ridiculing smile. "Rescue? I think that your Myriad Sword Sect wants to swallow the Tranquil Cloud Sect, or are thinking of making us wag our tails to beg like a dog in front of you people to satisfy your ego a little?"
Qin Yan was stunned when he heard it. He suddenly grinned and said, "Then so what? Could it be that you all still have other choices?"
This time, the expression on the faces of Skymaple, Luo Qingfeng, and the rest became odd.
"You all most likely don't know it yet, right? The Purple Mansion Sect was already sent packing with a face full of dust previously at our sect, losing three Soul Sea Realm experts in succession. Right now, I reckon that He Mingde is probably still weeping at home, right?" Luo Qingfeng said with a cold smile.
Luo Qingfeng's words stunned the trio.
They had just arrived in the Southern Domain too. The information grasped was still when they had just left the sect. They totally did not know what happened recently in the Southern Domain.
Now, once they heard the news, it indeed made them feel very surprised.
But it was merely just surprised. Qin Yan did not feel that Luo Qingfeng could kill martial artists with high cultivation realms.
"Haha. Killing a couple of First Level Soul Sea Realms made all of you so happy? That Purple Mansion Sect probably saw that your strength was too weak, so they totally didn't send experts over, right?" Gu Tianyou said with a chortle.
Luo Qingfeng said with a disdainful look, "First Level Soul Sea Realm? Haha. The Purple Mansion Sect has already attacked the Tranquil Cloud Sect three times. The first time, a First Level Soul Sea Realm died. The second time, two Fourth Level Soul Sea Realms died. The third time, He Mingde came personally, and also returned in failure! Do you all think that we should be happy or not?"
"Fourth Level Soul Sea Realm? Even two? Do you take us for rookies who don't know anything? Just the likes of you people can kill two Fourth Level Soul Sea Realms?" Li Junjie said with a ridiculing smile.
"Ignorant! The Purple Mansion Sect dispatched thousands of martial artists to come and attack the Tranquil Cloud Sect. Is there a need for me to deceive you on this matter? If you don't believe it, you can try out the Tranquil Cloud Sect's sect protecting grand array in person," Luo Qingfeng said with a cold smile.
Luo Qingfeng was very proud of t
he sect protecting grand array right now. This kind of grand array that could instantly kill Soul Sea Realm experts was seriously satisfying.
Beneath the Divine Traversing Realm, it was virtually invincible!
"Sect protecting grand array? You're talking about . . . the Yin-Yang Turbid Heaven Grand Array? Didn't you all lose this set of array formation back then?" Qin Yan said with a frown.
"No comments about that! Humph! If not for the sake of the entire Endless World's safety, would we send people to the Northern Domain? So long as we defend the Tranquil Cloud Sect to the death, the Purple Mansion Sect can't breach inside all their lives!" Luo Qingfeng said.
"You're saying that there is really another world trying to invade our Endless World?" Qin Yan said.
"The Purple Mansion Sect is a chess piece left in the Endless World by the Fierce Gale World. Now that the realm passageway has already opened up, Fierce Gale World martial artists will attack over here very soon! This matter concerns the grand matter of the entire Endless World's life and death! You people actually still have thoughts of internal conflicts here. Truly don't know life from death!" Ye Yuan said with a sneer.
Based on the attitudes of Qin Yan and the others, they completely did not believe that there was this matter of another world invading.
After all, several thousand years had already passed since the previous great war. Even a sect like the Grand Yan True Sect was already buried in the annals of history.
The Grand Yan True Sect was also to blame for being overly domineering back then; directly sealing the realm passageway, resulting in the great war between two worlds not clashing on a massive scale.
The Endless World martial artists did not suffer a pain which cut deep. Their impression of the other world was not so deep as well.
But Ye Yuan believed that those major powers in the Northern Domain should have heard of this segment of history.
Except, Mei Zhen most likely did not meet those people when he went over this time.
A Sea Transformation Realm martial artist might be powerful enough in the Southern Domain. But placed in the Northern Domain, it was nothing.
"What a pack of nonsense! Why would there be another world invading for no reason? You said that the Purple Mansion Sect were the other world's survivors. What proof is there?" Qin Yan said.
Ye Yuan had long known that Qin Yan would have such an inquiry. His hands briefly kneaded a seal. A silhouette suddenly appeared before everyone.
"Spatial spirit artifact!" Seeing this scene, Qin Yan trio were all startled.
Spatial spirit artifacts were beloved treasures that everyone would want to get their hands on. Even them, the Northern Domain's top disciples, did not have in their possessions.
Seeing that Ye Yuan actually had a spatial spirit artifact, their gaze involuntarily became scorching.
Ye Yuan shot a glance and said, "Put away your ideas. Or else, you might not be able to walk out of the Tranquil Cloud Sect! This is the slave that I captured in the Fierce Gale World. His name is Lan Feng. Let him talk to you about the Fierce Gale World's matters."
Ye Yuan already had Sea Transformation Realm strength at present. Even when facing Early-Stage Soul Sea Realm martial artists, he had sufficient self-preserving strength too. Hence, he did not mind exhibiting the spatial spirit artifact in front of these people.
But Ye Yuan's words astonished the trio tremendously. Qin Yan exclaimed in shock, "You . . . You've been to the other world?"
Ye Yuan said nonchalantly, "Naturally I've been there before. Lan Feng's divine soul is slightly different from the Endless World martial artists. You guys investigate it slightly and should be able to discover some inklings."
Qin Yan probed and discovered that Lan Feng's divine soul was indeed slightly different from the Endless World martial artists!
This shock was tremendous. In his heart, he already believed Ye Yuan's words to a certain extent!
"Lan Feng, you pick out a few important things about the Purple Mansion Sect and the Fierce Gale World's past for them to hear," Ye Yuan instructed.
"Yes, Master!" Lan Feng cupped his hands slightly and started talking.
As time passed, the expressions on Qin Yan and the rest became increasingly grim.
Turned out that things had already reached such a critical state. They were actually still harboring the mentality of watching the show coming over to the Tranquil Cloud Sect this time.
After Lan Feng finished talking, Qin Yan trio exchanged glances, their eyes revealing a never-before astonishment.
"Oh, right, Lan Feng did not say it just now. The Fierce Gale World is a middle-order small world. The wind emperor's strength is . . . Boundless Realm!" Ye Yuan said indifferently.
Chapter 474 - Staying Behind to Be a Hostage
The Qin Yan trio seemed to have something stuck in their throats and were not able to speak for a while.
"B-Boundless Realm? You're not joking, right?"
After a long time, Li Junjie finally recovered but was still filled with incredulity.
"Joking? Back then, the Grand Yan True Sect was ten times stronger than your Myriad Sword Sect. However, the Grand Yan True Sect hesitated at nothing to sacrifice the lives of six sovereign level array masters to deploy the Six Extreme Seals Grand Array! Do you think that they had the need to treat their lives jokingly?" Ye Yuan said with a cold smile.
The present Endless World's situation was different. Back then, the Grand Yan True Sect reigned supreme, overshadowing all of the sects.
Although the Grand Yan True Sect's Sect Master's status was not on par with Zhao Tianyin's, it was not far from the latter either.
Even such strength could not resist the previous generation Wind Emperor. What did the Myriad Sword Sect even count as?
"Hiss . . ."
The information that Ye Yuan uttered today, the shock it brought them was too intense.
Mei Zhen had not spoken more than a few words at the Myriad Sword Sect and was detained. Those people did not take it seriously at all.
Now, Ye Yuan spoke with definite evidence and even let Lan Feng out. It was not up to them to not believe.
"Like this, isn't our Endless World facing imminent danger?" Gu Tianyou muttered.
"Hur hur, good that you know! But I still have something that I want to ask the three of you. Is my Tranquil Cloud Sect's Elder Mei Zhen detained by your Myriad Sword Sect?" Ye Yuan asked with gleaming eyes.
One sentence and it dragged the three people back to reality.
Qin Yan said with a sneer, "So what if yes?"
Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said to Gu Tianyou and Li Junjie, "Good that it's yes. The two of you can head back already. This whatever Eldest Senior Brother Qin Yan will stay in our Tranquil Cloud Sect to be a hostage then. Whenever you people release Elder Mei back, he can return to the sect."
The three people were stunned when they heard these words. Wasn't this punk overestimating his own strength too much?
"Detaining Eldest Senior Brother? Haha! Really unafraid of the wind spraining your tongue if it blows hard! Do you think that you can keep Eldest Senior Brother with the likes of that First Level Soul Sea Realm Sect Master?" Li Junjie said with a cold laugh.
"Haha! You all have stayed too long in the Southern Domain and already became frogs in a well, right? Do you know how formidable Eldest Senior Brother's strength is?" Gu Tianyou seemed to have heard some hilarious joke and grinned from ear to ear.
Even Qin Yan himself shook his head too and said with a smile, "Overconfident fool!"
But Ye Yuan said nonchalantly, "I already said, disciple versus disciple. How could the likes of you all have the qualifications to let Sect Master take action personally?"
"You? You aren't really thinking that by comprehending the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art, you would be my match, right?" Qin Yan stood with his hands behind his back, with a face full of contempt.
So what if Ye Yuan comprehended true intent?
He likewise compr
ehended true intent. Furthermore, he was even almost a full major realm higher than Ye Yuan!
Such a great disparity in strength and this brat was actually thinking of defeating him?
Ye Yuan flashed a smile and said, "Give it a try then!"
"Such a wildly arrogant boy! Don't lose your life by trying!' Gu Tianyou said with a cold snort.
But Qin Yan said with a smile, "Interesting. I'll give you this opportunity!"
"Haha. It's still Eldest Senior Brother magnanimity that is big. I'm going to make a move! You receive it well! Nine Swords Return to One, Half-Moon Slash!"
Ye Yuan did not talk rubbish either, executing the Nine Swords Stance's Half-Moon Slash instantaneously!
Following Ye Yuan's breakthrough to the Sea Transformation Realm, his Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword became even stronger!
Regardless whether was it the Nine Swords Stance or the Thousand Flowing Petals, they all expended countless amounts of Ye Yuan's energy. The greater one's strength, the greater the might.
Back then, Ye Yuan used this one move to place the powerful Zhao Chenggan in a wretched plight. No matter how powerful this Qin Yan's strength was, it could not be stronger than Zhao Chenggan's either.
Once Ye Yuan's move was unleashed, the smile on Qin Yan's face was instantly replaced with solemnness!
Not the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art!
When this brat was dealing with Li Junjie earlier, he was actually still holding back!
"Thousand Sword Nebulous!"
Qin Yan immediately put away his belittling heart, using an incomparably swift and fierce martial technique right away.
This Thousand Sword Nebulous move was an extremely powerful martial technique in the Myriad Sword Sect. Coupled with the Myriad Sword Sect's cultivation method, it was a top-notch sword move when placed in the Endless World too.
The Sea Transformation Realm Ye Yuan displaying the Half-Moon Slash was much stronger than it was in the Fierce Gale World previously!
The two attacks collided together instantly. Yet, the Half-Moon Slash breached Qin Yan's Thousand Sword Nebulous like crushing dried twigs!
