"No command over yourself? Your life is your own, not others'! Zhao Tianyin is a paramount existence in your eyes, an existence that brooks no desecration! But do you know what you all are in his eyes? You people are . . . just a bunch of tools for him to order around!" Ye Yuan said coolly.
Dai Yuhen's gaze sunk slightly, his complexion suddenly flushing crimson as he said furiously, "How can His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, be profaned by you like this! If you have the capabilities, just kill me! Or else, I'll surely make you pay the price for today's affront!"
Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a sigh, "Pedant! Zhao Tianyin is just a Boundless Realm expert! He's only a mortal too! Look at him assuming solemn airs normally. When he kneeled before me, wasn't he like a dog too?"
"Cough, cough, cough . . . Y-You're courting death!"
Dai Yuhen struggled, wanting to stand up. But he could not even do so after trying several times.
"Sigh . . . Heavenly Dao is boundless, humans are insignificant. In front of Heavenly Dao, we're but merely ants! Elder Dai, if not on account of you and I were having this battle today, why would I waste my breath on you? You feel that I'm insulting Zhao Tianyin, but let me tell you something. Zhao Tianyin doesn't have the qualifications to make me insult him at all. Place your horizons further. There is still the Divine Realm . . ."
Dai Yuhen's expression froze. Divine Realm these two words naturally aroused his d.e.s.i.r.es.
Dai Yuhen suddenly recalled that Ye Yuan had once entered deep into the Fierce Gale World to rescue his fellow apprentices, but he returned to the Endless World without a scratch.
What in the world happened in between this? Why did His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, actually not keep this boy behind?
There seemed to be many stories in between this!
After this fight, Dai Yuhen and Ye Yuan could even be said to have some appreciation of each other.
Dai Yuhen could feel Ye Yuan's sincerity. Otherwise, he could very well just kill him and be done with it.
Ye Yuan did not show any mercy when cutting down Liao Wenguang, He Jun, and the rest.
The reason why he did not kill him today was probably still because of this standing aloof from the world mentality of his.
Was it possible that . . . he was really wrong?
"Also, although I don't know just why two generations of your Wind Emperor invaded the Endless World back to back, I have a feeling that they have some kind of ulterior objective. But, no matter what, Zhao Tianyin . . . I'll definitely kill him with my own hands!"
Speaking up to here, Ye Yuan suddenly seethed with killing intent.
Zhao Tianyin's humiliation that day, Ye Yuan will ultimately claim it back one day!
"Alright. My words end here. As for how you choose, that's your matter. Nothing to do with me. However . . . If I bump into you next time on the battlefield, then I won't show mercy! Senior Apprentice Brother, let's go!" Ye Yuan said coolly.
Dai Yuhen silently watched Ye Yuan's back view, but storms were brewing in his heart.
The ideology that he had been inculcated with since young was to give allegiance to His Majesty, the Wind Emperor. And the cultivation method he trained in, medicinal pills used in cultivation, were all bestowed by His Majesty, the Wind Emperor.
So in Dai Yuhen's mind, pledging allegiance to His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, was something that came very naturally.
Yet, Ye Yuan's words today silently opened up a window in his sealed mind.
. . . . . .
Northern Domain, Xiuming Mountain Peak.
Two elderly men and a middle-aged woman who had lost some of her charms were drinking tea at the stone table under the pine tree. A youth each stood behind the middle-aged woman and one of the old men respectively.
The two youths, one male, one female, were shockingly the Yin Yanhua and Guo Taoqun who returned to the Northern Domain from the Tranquil Cloud Sect.
With two of them appearing here, these three people's identities were also obvious.
These three people were precisely the Myriad Sword Sect, Heavenly Martial Sect, and the Profound Ice Sect's old ancestors, and also the Northern Domain's and even the entire Endless World's three most powerful people!
It was just that these three people had knitted brows which did not relax at the present, and were not in the mood to drink tea at all.
The Myriad Sword Sect's old ancestor was called Qin Hongtao. At present, he currently had an enraged look as he said, "That punk called Ye Yuan is too arrogant! To actually dare detain Yan-er! I think he's tired of living! Ning Yixian, you actually even made me spare that brat. You're simply too ridiculous!"
The Ning Yixian in Qin Hongtao's words was precisely the Heavenly Martial Sect's old ancestor.
"According to what Taoqun they all said, this child's talent is exceedingly freakish. He's already matchless among the young generation! Now that the Endless World is about to fall into a catastrophe, if you kill Ye Yuan, wouldn't it aggrieve our own and gladden the enemy?" Ning Yixian urged.
Ning Yixian knew that Qin Yan was Qin Hongtao's lineage grandson; the person to inherit his mantle in the future.
Now that Qin Yan was held captive by Ye Yuan, how could Qin Hongtao not be furious?
But at this time right now, it was totally not the time to have internal strife.
If the Tranquil Cloud Sect was just an inconspicuous little sect, then forget it. But, Ye Yuan's talent was too startling. Such a genius being killed by their own people, wouldn't it be the biggest joke in the world?
But Qin Hongtao did not think this way. Ye Yuan's actions were simply plucking his whiskers!
When he heard this news, Qin Hongtao wanted to go and kill people at that time but was held back by the Ning Yixian who had arrived first.
The result was that Qin Hongtao was forcefully hurled up at Xiuming Mountain by Ning Yixian.
"Humph! No matter how great that punk's talent is, taking Yan-er as hostage won't do! Unless he personally goes to the Myriad Sword Sect to kowtow and offer an apology to this old self, otherwise, this grudge isn't over! Letting this Tranquil Cloud Sect off back then was a mistake. Now, this old man I will mend the fold after the sheep is lost, and go through the trouble of making this trip to eradicate this Tranquil Cloud Sect!" Qin Hongtao said in a towering rage.
Ning Yixian said, "Heh, you, this old man, still have such a fiery temper! What will you do to eradicate their Tranquil Cloud Sect? You don't wish for that beloved grandson of yours to live anymore? That boy is clearly somebody who is decisive in killing. You dare to go and exterminate his sect, he will dare to kill your grandson! Could it be that you dare to lose all decorum with him?"
Qin Hongtao's expression froze. Ning Yixian's words evidently struck his soft spot.
Yes. Ye Yuan's move was too ruthless!
He, Qin Hongtao, was formidable, but Qin Yan was a hostage in his hands!
"Sigh . . . As a matter of fact, you and I both still have to thank this boy called Ye Yuan. If not for him withstanding the entire Purple Mansion Sect with his strength alone, the Fierce Gale World's army would probably have crossed the Endless Forest already!
Speaking up to here, Ning Yixian's eyes revealed thick admiration too.
If not for Ye Yuan's appearance messing up the Purple Mansion Sect's arrangements, after the realm passageway linked up, the Fierce Gale World would be able to march straight in, directly crossing the Endless Forest!
"Ye Yuan this child's merits are the greatest! Qin Hongtao, you're a character on the level of being as weighty as Mount Tai and as brilliant as the Big Dipper. Why stoop to the level of a junior? Moreover, Qin Yan being detained was originally you all provoking first. Ye Yuan doing so was also just for the sake of self-preservation. This period at present, our three sects still need to put the interests of the whole above all else!"
The Profound Ice Sect old ancestor, Immortal Jing Xuan, who did not speak the entire time finally opened her mouth.
[0] The 'Immortal' used fo
r Immortal Jing Xuan is to describe a middle-aged fairy maiden. Just a tidbit.
Chapter 490 - This Place Has Been Taken over by Us
Jing Xuan's evaluation of Ye Yuan could not be said to be not high.
And in reality, Ye Yuan could live up to this appraisal as well.
If it weren't Ye Yuan defeating the Purple Mansion Sect thrice at the Tranquil Cloud Sect, they would already have firmly controlled the Southern Domain's situation.
After the Fierce Gale World's Divine Traversing Realm experts show up, the Southern Domain's overall situation would be a foregone conclusion. They would just have to place their sights on the Northern Domain, and that would be it.
And at that time, these people in the Northern Domain would still be unaware that the Purple Mansion Sect was the Fierce Gale World's survivors.
"Humph! Yan-er is still in their hands right now. How will this account be settled?"
Not knowing why, once this Jing Xuan spoke, Qin Hongtao's bl.u.s.ter fell in an instant.
"How else can it be settled? Didn't you detain a Sea Transformation Realm elder from the Tranquil Cloud Sect? Just send him back for them!" Ning Yixian said.
"Fine! Send him back then! But I'll say the nasty things first. If Yan-er has any injuries, I'm going to send an army to denounce them!" Qin Hongtao said with a black face.
Ning Yixian waved her hand and said, "Enough nonsense! Let us discuss how to deal with the Fierce Gale World martial artists! Back then, the Grand Yan True Sect sealed off the realm passageway, and the future generations gradually forgot about this matter. To think that after several thousand years, the Fierce Gale World had yet to give up hope and staged a comeback again! Sigh . . . Speaking of which, it's our oversight too!"
Jing Xuan said, "Those few seniors from the Grand Yan True Sect back then deserves our admiration. Now that this heavy responsibility has fallen on our shoulders, the martial artists of our generation should follow the example of our predecessors: possess the will to die and to resist foreign enemies!"
Although this Jing Xuan preserved her looks exceedingly well and only had the appearance of a middle-aged woman, she was actually a figure from the same generation as Qin Hongtao and Ning Yixian. She also had Peak Divine Traversing Realm strength.
This Jing Xuan was as cold as ice, a cut from the same cloth as Yin Yanhua.
But the words that she said had the breadth of spirit of rather to break than to bend.
But Qin Hongtao said with frowned brows, "That might be the case, but the Fierce Gale World has a Boundless Realm expert! Once the realm passageway stabilizes fully, the Endless World will . . ."
Speaking of Zhao Tianyin, the three people felt a heavy burden like a 30 thousand catties crushing down.
"There's still an issue. The Purple Mansion Sect has already laid low in the Endless World for several thousand years, experiencing countless generations of people, and already know the Endless World like the back of their hands. But we're completely clueless about the Fierce Gale World!"
One had to admit that the Endless World was passive everywhere right now, and virtually could not see any hope.
These three people conversed here for a long time and also had a woebegone look.
"Old ancestors, to say who in the Endless World understands the Fierce Gale World best, it's none other than that Tranquil Cloud Sect's Ye Yuan! He'd once entered deep into the Fierce Gale World and even captured a Sea Transformation Realm slave," Yin Yanhua suddenly voiced out.
"Heh, this boy is truly an enigmatic character. No idea which hole in a rock he jumped out from either. Oh, right, speaking of this boy, has their Tranquil Cloud Sect completed their migration already?" Ning Yixian asked Guo Taoqun.
Guo Taoqun nodded and said, "Three days ago, they already gathered in Fallen Rain City. They already sent news before coming here. Everyone from the Tranquil Cloud Sect will be gathering in Spirit Sealing City."
Ning Yixian said with a frown, "Spirit Sealing City? That seems to be the Heavenly Evil Sect's territory, right? What are they going there for?"
"This . . . I don't know," Guo Taoqun shook his head and said.
But at this time, Yin Yanhua's eyes glimmered slightly and voiced out, "The Heavenly Evil Sect is notorious. Burning, killing, raping, pillaging; committing all kinds of atrocities. They just happen to lack a place to settle down. Could it be . . ."
"Not to that extent, right? Although the Heavenly Evil Sect's strength isn't considered much in the Northern Domain, at any rate, they have a Soul Sea Realm expert holding down the fort too. The Tranquil Cloud Sect going to do battle at an opponent's home ground, I think taking down the Heavenly Evil Sect wouldn't be that easy, right?"
"Heh heh, this boy really makes people rather look forward to it! In this Northern Domain land right now, the most eye-catching is most likely this Tranquil Cloud Sect group's movements, right? Since they have this intention, then let's just sit tight and watch. If they really can't, then giving them a hand is good too. That Heavenly Evil Sect, I've long found them an eyesore. If not for the sake of Wu Fang City, I'd have long exterminated them!"
Speaking until the back, Ning Yixian's tone became icy-cold. Evidently, he disliked this Heavenly Evil Sect too.
Hearing these words, Jing Xuan nodded slightly, while Qin Hongtao snorted coldly.
"Taoqun, Yanhua, inform the various Northern Domain's major faction's old ancestors as soon as possible. They are all to hurry to Wu Fang City to meet in half a month! In addition, since the Tranquil Cloud Sect has already moved north, then shut down all the transmission arrays leading to the Southern Domain! Sigh . . . This important juncture . . ." Ning Yixian instructed.
. . . . . .
Different from the Southern Domain, the Myriad Sword Sect, Heavenly Martial Sect, and the Profound Ice Sect were not all of the Northern Domain's forces.
These three great sects all had peak Divine Traversing Realm old ancestors holding down the fort. So they were the strongest three great sects.
Apart from this, there were still many forces with late-stage Divine Traversing Realm holding down the fort.
These factions were all the Northern Domain's peak forces!
As for middle-stage Divine Traversing Realm and early-stage Divine Traversing Realm forces, there were many too.
Of course, like the Heavenly Evil Sect, small sects with only a Soul Sea Realm martial artist holding down the fort were as many as oxen hair.
This Heavenly Evil Sect's strength was not strong. But the sect's only Soul Sea Realm expert, Mao Yuanji, cozied up to the number one Alchemy Path faction in the Northern Domain through some means somehow.
Hence, even though this Heavenly Evil Sect's evil doings knew no limits, nobody dared to do anything to them either.
At the Heavenly Evil Sect's main peak, two silhouettes stood in the air.
"Who are you people? Such audacity! To actually dare barge forcefully into my Heavenly Evil Sect's main peak!"
The one talking was a Heavenly Evil Sect elder. But his round of questioning was without any confidence whatsoever.
These two people appeared too suddenly. There was actually not a bit of news which came from the gates.
Furthermore, the Heavenly Evil Sect still had the sect protecting grand array guarding. If enemies came to attack, how could there possibly be no reaction at all?
This elder instinctively sensed that these two people were not easy to deal with!
Ye Yuan stood in the air with his hands behind his back. Lightly sweeping a glance down below, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "From today onwards, this world will no longer have the name 'Heavenly Evil Sect'! This place has been taken over by us!"
"What? What did he say? Taken over? Hahaha! A Sea Transformation Realm brat uttering such wild ravings to take over our Heavenly Evil Sect?"
"He even said to let our Heavenly Evil Sect's name be removed just now! Hahaha! Is this boy soft in the head?"
"Yeah! Our Heavenly Evil Sect is the Wu Fang City's s
ubordinate power. Who dares to provoke us? Heh heh, these years, how many people wanted to take down my Heavenly Evil Sect? Didn't each and every one of them still ended up dusty and dirty in appearance?"
Ye Yuan's words drew a wave of guffawing.
In their viewpoint, Ye Yuan and Luo Qingfeng were here to be a joke.
If two people could wipe out the Heavenly Evil Sect, they would have been exterminated countless times over long ago!
Moreover, these two people, one was First Level Soul Sea, one was Second Level Sea Transformation, which were also equivalent to the Heavenly Evil Sect's Sect Master plus the lowest level elder's strength.
Remove their name?
Being dumb, right?
Right at this time, a black-robed man flew out from the main hall and came before Ye Yuan pair.
"The two of you are guests from far away. But isn't wanting to remove my Heavenly Evil Sect's name right after coming a bit too arrogant?" said the black-robed man coldly.
Chapter 491 - Your Opponent Is Him
This black-robed man was First Level Soul Sea strength. Very clearly, he was the Heavenly Evil Sect's sect master, Mao Yuanji.
But the meaning in his words was some trepidation towards Luo Qingfeng.
These two people could appear on the main peak without any signs. Presumably, they had some capabilities.
"You're Mao Yuanji?" Ye Yuan swept a glance over him and asked indifferently.
When Mao Yuanji saw a Sea Transformation Realm brat being so arrogant, he was very displeased in his heart.
"Humph! This is a conversation between Soul Sea Realms; since when it is your turn, a junior, to be presumptuous here?"
As he said, Mao Yuanji flicked his sleeves grandly. A burst of tremendous force pushed over towards Ye Yuan, wanting to push Ye Yuan aside.
He did this to firstly, demonstrate his means and let the other party know his power. Secondly, it was to probe just where Luo Qingfeng's baseline lay.
Mao Yuanji completely thought that Ye Yuan would be knocked until he was muddled by the force of this flick of his and fell down from the air. Who knew that Ye Yuan stood there without moving a muscle!
