Guo Taoqun revealed a look of realization. The logic that Ye Yuan said was very simple, which was for the Endless World to resist the foreign enemy with a united spirit.
But Guo Taoqun who resided in the Northern Domain was deeply aware that this was simply something impossible!
The Northern Domain's sects stood in great numbers. Apart from the three great sects, there were still many large and small sects of varying sizes.
These sects' thoughts were all different. Without a person who could rally hundreds with a single call, there was simply no way of making them put their strength together.
If each fought their own battles when the time came, the Endless World would really not be far from complete destruction.
"Hiss . . . Fortunately, our Heavenly Martial Sect and the Profound Ice Sect obtained some information, sending the two of us to follow Qin Yan all the way here. Or else, we would really not know that such an earth-shaking major event actually happened to the Endless World! No can do. This matter is much too important. I have to return to inform Lord Sect Master straight away to make plans early!"
As he said, Guo Taoqun turned around and wanted to leave. When he passed by Yin Yanhua, Guo Taoqun suddenly switched to a smiling face and asked, "Ice Cloud Fairy, why not . . . we head back together?"
Yin Yanhua did not even spare him a glance, but took light steps and walked towards Ye Yuan.
"I wonder what junior brother's name is?" Yin Yanhua asked.
"Ye Yuan."
"So, it's Junior Apprentice Brother Ye. If it's in accordance with what Junior Apprentice Brother Ye said, the Northern Domain has no tenable defensive position anymore. The Tranquil Cloud Sect is already a lone island. Doesn't your Tranquil Cloud Sect have plans to move north?"
Ye Yuan was rather surprised. This Ice Cloud Fairy was evidently someone with a nimble mind. He did not have the need to hide either, and said with a nod, "That's right. We're currently planning to move north!"
Yin Yanhua nodded her head slightly when she heard this. She said, "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye detained Qin Yan to be a hostage. The Myriad Sword Sect definitely won't let things go. How about my Profound Ice Sect provide for shelter for you guys. I wonder what Junior Apprentice Brother Ye's thoughts are?"
When Yin Yanhua said this, Qin Yan's expression became even uglier.
"Fairy Maiden, my Myriad Sword Sect has good relations with the Profound Ice Sect all along. How can you take such an action arbitrarily?!" Qin Yan nearly spewed out another mouthful of old blood.
At this time, Guo Taoqun smacked his head and interjected too. He slung his arm around Ye Yuan again and said, "Haha! I hit it off with Junior Apprentice Brother Ye on first sight! How about . . . you come to our Heavenly Martial Sect!"
Hearing these words, Qin Yan's two eyes finally rolled back, and he fainted.
Chapter 477 - He’s Called Ye Yuan!
Yin Yanhua and Guo Taoqun invited Ye Yuan naturally because they took a fancy on his potential.
Ye Yuan could defeat Qin Yan, sufficiently showing how great his strength was.
With Ye Yuan's age, his accomplishments would surely be boundless in the future. Such a figure naturally had to be roped in early.
Seeing Guo Taoqun cutting in, Yin Yanhua's surrounding temperature fell several degrees once more.
Guo Taoqun's face changed, and he said obsequiously, "Haha, kidding, just kidding. How can our Heavenly Martial Sect have a place to house such a large sect?"
Yin Yanhua could not be bothered with Guo Taoqun. She said to Ye Yuan, "I wonder what Junior Apprentice Brother Ye's opinion is like?"
The few people present were all the distinguished leaders of the Endless World's junior generation. They were all sharp-minded people.
Although those few standing by the sides were the Tranquil Cloud Sect's upper echelons, the one truly making the decisions was this young man before their eyes.
Ye Yuan mused for a moment and said with Yin Yanhua with a faint smile, "Thank you very much for Ice Cloud Fairy's good intentions. But about the place to settle down, my Tranquil Cloud Sect already has arrangements."
A tinge of disappointment flickered across Yin Yanhua's eyes as she said with a sigh, "Alright then. Since that's the case, Yanhua will take her leave."
Finished talking, Yin Yanhua's figure moved, vanishing before everyone.
Guo Taoqun yelled out, "Ice Cloud Fairy, wait for me! Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, when you go to the Northern Domain, you have to come to my Heavenly Martial Sect to take a look! I'm leaving too!"
Ye Yuan gave a faint smile. This Guo Taoqun was really a funny fellow.
At this time, there were only the Myriad Sword Sect's three people left in the main hall. Ye Yuan said coolly, "What? Could it be that you all are still planning on staying behind to have a meal?"
Gu Tianyou looked at Ye Yuan and looked at the unconscious Qin Yan again. For a moment, he was actually at a loss on what to do.
"Eldest Senior Brother he . . ." Gu Tianyou gave a smile that was even uglier than crying.
"Do you feel like I'm joking with you all?" Ye Yuan's tone became cold.
"N-No."
"Then not scramming yet?"
Seeing that Ye Yuan inclining to fly off the handle, Gu Tianyou and Li Junjie went out of the main hall step by step.
At this time, Luo Qingfeng came in front of Ye Yuan and asked worriedly, "The Myriad Sword Sect is one of the three strongest great sects in the Northern Domain. Just the Divine Traversing Realm experts in their sect numbers quite a few. We captured their eldest disciple. They probably won't take things lying down, right?"
Ye Yuan said with a frown, "I'm the one who sent Elder Mei over. I have to rescue him back! Sect Master rest assured; the matter of the realm passageway linking together is also just in these few days. At that time, the Myriad Sword Sect most likely won't have the energy to come and bother with us, a tiny little Tranquil Cloud Sect."
Luo Qingfeng had no alternatives. He could only say, "Fine then. It's up to you to do whatever you want. Grand Elder and I will always be standing behind you to support you!"
Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Many thanks for Grand Elder's and Sect Master's understanding. Sect Master, the time left to us isn't much already. We have to make the best use of our time to move north."
. . . . . .
Several days later, beneath the unknown mystic realm's Eternal Splendor Palace.
Rumble!
With an enormous rumble, the Six Extreme Seals Grand Array fragmented inch by inch.
The grand array that guarded the Endless World for several thousand years finally collapsed with a loud bang.
At the same time, the entire Endless World felt an intense tremor. Everyone all felt like something major was about to happen!
He Mingde stood respectfully at one side. Five figures took the lead to enter, crossing the realm passageway.
Seeing these five people, He Mingde bowed all the way down, "Fierce Gale World's survivor, He Mingde, pay respects to five sovereigns!"
These five people were shocking all Peak Divine Traversing Realm existences!
The one at the helm nodded slightly and said, "Arise! You did very well. His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, is very pleased with you. This is the reward that His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, entrusted me to give you before setting off."
This elderly person was actually the Shangguan Family Head who observed Ye Yuan and Zhao Chenggan's battle from a corner of the plaza back then, Shangguan Wenrui!
He Mingde was overjoyed seeing the situation and said, "Many thanks for His Majesty, the Wind Emperor's, bestowal. Although we have lied low in the Endless World for thousands of years, we dare not forget the great duty that His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, tasked us to do even for a moment! Having gone through thousands of years, it finally let us find a way to crack the Six Extreme Seals Grand Array!"
Shangguan Wenrui nodded and suddenly asked, "The Endless World's Southern Domain is very important to us. It should have c
ulminated under your Purple Mansion Sect, right?"
But He Mingde's expression changed as he said, "Sovereign Shangguan, forgive my mistake. Originally, the Southern Domain was already in the bag. But a remarkably monstrous youth came from the Tranquil Cloud Sect. He actually raised the Tranquil Cloud Sect's sect protecting grand array to Quasi-Tier 5 level. We . . ."
The air instantly chilled. Shangguan Wenrui was clearly very displeased by this news.
He Mingde stood by the side and did not dare to even exhale loudly.
This one before his eyes was a Peak Divine Traversing Realm powerhouse. Huffing a breath could doom him eternally.
That boy called Ye Yuan really screwed him over badly!
"You, an exalted Seventh Level Soul Sea Realm martial artist, is actually powerless against a youngster? His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, placed such high hopes on you; is this how you repay him?" Shangguan Wenrui said coldly.
He Mingde sweat profusely and hurriedly explain, "Sovereign Shangguan, calm your anger. That . . . That young man is indeed too monstrous. Furthermore . . . Furthermore, I heard that he escaped back to the Endless World from the Fierce Gale World!"
Shangguan Wenrui's expression changed, and he immediately thought of Ye Yuan.
This Endless World youth entered deep into the Fierce Gale World by himself, throwing the Fierce Gale World into an upheaval, and even retreated in one piece!
Speaking of which, it was really inconceivable.
After Zhao Tianyun appeared in the plaza on that day, in order to avoid arousing suspicions, Shangguan Wenrui and Xue Hongfei left directly and did not see what happened later.
Shangguan Wenrui looked into it afterward as well. But those who stayed at the plaza afterward were practically all dead.
Only Ding Liang and Star Abyss's group of people were alive. But all of them did not dare to breathe a word to another soul about what happened on that day.
But Shangguan Wenrui speculated that some earth-shaking major thing must have happened for Ye Yuan to be able to escape from Zhao Tianyin's hands.
Otherwise, how could a Crystal Formation Realm brat possibly escape from the hands of the Boundless Realm Wind Emperor?
Shangguan Wenrui's complexion was slightly better, and he opened his mouth to ask, "Oh? There's still such a monstrous youth? What's his name called?"
He Mingde said quaking in fear, "He . . . He's called Ye Yuan!"
Indeed!
Even though he guessed it long ago, Shangguan Wenrui still felt unbelievably shocked.
This boy called Ye Yuan was covered in secrets all over.
Looks like not just his personal strength was incomparably formidable, he had startling talent in the path of formations too!
He Mingde sneaked a glance at Shangguan Wenrui's face. After seeing that he did not show an enraged expression, He Mingde gathered his courage and said, "On that day, I personally escorted the Tranquil Cloud Sect's hostages, wanting to force this punk out of the grand array. Who knew that he actually set up an extremely powerful illusionary array outside the gates, and he rescued the people away instead! Furthermore, I heard him saying that his array formation . . . actually came from the Grand Yan True Sect's inheritance! He even said . . . even said . . ."
Shangguan Wenrui narrowed his eyes and said, "Speak!"
"He even said . . . If the Grand Yan True Sect's Sect Master had grasped that set of illusionary formation back then, even if His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, came personally, he would return with failure too!" He Mingde mopped the cold sweat on his forehead.
Chapter 478 - Cicada Casting off Its Shell
How could He Mingde know how great a wave Ye Yuan stirred up in the Fierce Gale World?
He was still desperately absolving his charges, hoping to gain Shangguan Wenrui's understanding.
In truth, Shangguan Wenrui did not blame him long ago.
But Shangguan Wenrui did not tell He Mingde either. The matter of Ye Yuan causing mayhem in the Central Capital was not very glorious after all.
Shangguan Wenrui did not speak, seemingly contemplating something.
After a long time, he finally said slowly, "You said that . . . that Tranquil Cloud Sect's sect protecting grand array is a Quasi-Tier 5 grand array?"
He Mingde hurriedly said "Yes! Subordinate also doesn't know how he, a Sea Transformation Realm brat, can deploy a Quasi-Tier 5 grand array. But we really suffered considerably on this grand array."
Shangguan Wenrui nodded slightly and was not very surprised by Ye Yuan's monstrousness.
"This period of time, have you been sending people to watch the Tranquil Cloud Sect all along? Don't let them escape!" Shangguan Wenrui said.
"Sovereign Shangguan, rest assured. Subordinate arranged countless informants around the vicinity of the Tranquil Cloud Sect. If there's any bit of rustle of leaves in the wind, they will report promptly!" He Mingde hurriedly said.
Shangguan Wenrui said, "Since that's the case, send a Divine Traversing Realm expert over, and you can crack this grand array."
As he said, Shangguan Wenrui turned around and said to a First Level Divine Traversing martial artist, "Yunrong, you make a trip with Sect Master He! If there's a possibility, bring that boy back for me to see if he really has three heads and six arms!"
That Yunrong bowed and said, "Yes, Family Head."
He Mingde was overjoyed when he saw the situation. He had suffered a huge loss in Ye Yuan's hands. Now that there was a Divine Traversing Realm expert backing him up, what was he still afraid of?
. . . . . .
Several days later, in front of the Tranquil Cloud Sect's gates, Shangguan Yunrong stood in the air.
Behind him stood He Mingde.
"It's this grand array that you all couldn't crack even by mustering up the entire sect's strength?" Shangguan Yunrong said coolly.
He Mingde sweated heavily and said, "Yes. Subordinate is incompetent! Ye Yuan that boy is incredibly sinister. He really isn't easy to deal with!"
Shangguan Yunrong nodded slightly but did not say anything.
Ye Yuan's great name, he had naturally heard of it before as well. Ever since the great battle between Ye Yuan and Zhao Chenggan, Shangguan Lingyun seemed to have suffered a tremendous shock, cultivating day and night continuously.
As Shangguan Lingyun's senior, Shangguan Yunrong naturally took it all into his eyes.
This battle, Shangguan Lingyun took the initiative to request for it and was already on the way here.
Presumably, hearing Ye Yuan this name once more, Shangguan Lingyun would be very excited.
But he heard that Ye Yuan already broke through to the Sea Transformation Realm. This made Shangguan Yunrong rather surprised.
Ye Yuan had immensely powerful combat strength at the Crystal Formation Realm. Now that he broke through to the Sea Transformation Realm, even if Shangguan Lingyun bumped into Ye Yuan, he was most likely not his match either!
With such an unsurpassable opponent, it was truly terrifying!
Hence, the best method was to . . . destroy this opponent!
Shangguan Yunrong extended his hand and gestured. Horrifying essence energy instantly concentrated on his palm.
When He Mingde behind him saw this scene, his pupils could not help constricting.
This was the power of a Divine Traversing Realm expert. Clearly it was not targeting him, yet it made his heart palpitate.
"Go!"
Shangguan Yunrong lightly spat out a word from his mouth. His attack instantly landed on the Yin-Yang Turbid Heaven Grand Array.
It was only to hear a loud bang. The grand array actually gave off a series of cracking sounds.
Shangguan Yunrong had a calm and collected look the entire time. However, at this time, his face slightly revealed astonishment.
"Quasi-Tier 5 grand array is it . . . Indeed! Quite capable!"
This attack of his looked played down, but how could a Divine Traversing Realm expert's attack be simple?
This attack virtu
ally employed 70% of Shangguan Yunrong's powers and it actually did not breach the grand array in one blow. It could be seen how great this grand array's power was!
Rumble!
Shangguan Yunrong attacked again. This time, the grand array collapsed with a loud bang!
When those Purple Mansion Sect disciples saw this scene, each and every one of them was flushed red with excitement.
They had already waited far too long for this day!
When the grand array broke, those Purple Mansion Sect disciples were like pumped with blood, rushing over towards Spirit Blessing Mountain.
He Mingde who was standing behind Shangguan Yunrong was similarly very eager. This time, he would definitely flay the skin and tear out the tendons of Ye Yuan that punk, could he dispel the hatred in his heart!
Shangguan Yunrong did not move. He was only responsible for breaking the formation. He naturally would not lower his dignity and charge ahead.
Roughly an hour later, a Soul Sea Realm powerhouse flew before the two people; his expression was very ugly.
When He Mingde saw this scene, his heart involuntarily thumped. Could it be that something unforeseen happened again?
"Lord Yunrong, Sect Master, inside the Tranquil Cloud Sect is void of people. All of the records and medicinal pills are all gone! We already turned the Spirit Blessing Mountain inside out and didn't even see a ghost!"
"What?! How is that possible?" He Mingde became agitated and nearly fell down.
That Soul Sea Realm's expression was ugly as he said, "We already sent people to search all of the mountain peaks over. There are indeed not a soul inside!"
"This . . . This . . . Lord Yunrong . . . I clearly arranged countless informants. Why didn't a single one of them see people leaving the Tranquil Cloud Sect?" He Mingde was shocked beyond words.
Could this group of people fly to the skies and tunnel underground?
Shangguan Yunrong did not look too surprised. When he heard this, he gave a chuckle instead and said, "Sect Master He asked me, but who do I ask? Alright, since this Tranquil Cloud Sect is already uninhabited, then let's head back home."
