Luo Qingfeng's face was somewhat unnatural, but it was not because these two people identified the wrong person!
A Ninth Level Soul Sea and a Fourth Level Soul Sea bowing towards him seriously made him feel immense pressure!
But Ye Yuan gave him a meaningful look to calm down. Luo Qingfeng could only just do his best to keep a calm exterior.
"Haha. The two of you identified the wrong person. He is Ye Yuan," Luo Qingfeng forced a smile and said.
Honestly speaking, facing Xu Zihui and Bao Sangui, especially Xu Zihui, even if he did not deliberately give off the power of a Ninth Level Soul Sea, it still made Luo Qingfeng feel fidgety.
Such an existence could blot them out with just one hand.
The reason why the other party was standing here talking to them courteously was entirely that of Ye Yuan.
Once Luo Qingfeng's words were said, Xu Zihui and Bao Sangui were both greatly startled.
The person that City Lord, His Excellency, made him invite cordially was actually this young man who did not look older than 16 to 17 years old. His strength was not beyond Second Level Sea Transformation?
This . . . This was too absurd, right?
Xu Zihui was a little more dignified in the end and hurriedly gave a bow and said, "Xu Zihui has seen Lord Ye Yuan!"
Only then did Bao Sangui react and hastily gave a bow too. He gave an apology to Ye Yuan once more.
Ye Yuan waved his hand, indicating that this incident was considered over. But he asked Xu Zihui, "That hero invitation that you mentioned, what's the deal?"
Xu Zihui hurriedly retrieved a bright red invitation and handed it up. Ye Yuan opened it, swept a glance over, then closed it.
"You go back and tell City Lord, His Excellency, say that Ye Yuan can go, but the sect's elder is still imprisoned and is truly not in the mood to bother with other things. Gentlemen, please return," Ye Yuan said coolly.
"This . . ." Xu Zihui did not think that Ye Yuan would actually reply like this.
Xu Zihui was somewhat baffled, uncertain what Ye Yuan was doing here.
Wu Fang City Lord personally issued an invitation to invite a Sea Transformation Realm. This was such unparalleled glory. This boy was unexpectedly still putting on airs!
A sect elder of yours was actually even more important than City Lord, His Excellency's invitation?
Looking at this small sect, the elders were also merely Sea Transformation Realm too.
Could a minor character like this compare to the great matter of the Endless World's survival or downfall?
Xu Zihui was rather displeased in his heart. But, recalling City Lord, His Excellency's reminding him previously, he still forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart.
Furthermore, Xu Zihui was a shrewd person too. He had long seen that the actual person in charge of the Tranquil Cloud Sect was actually this young man called Ye Yuan before his eyes!
A Second Level Sea Transformation was actually so assuming in front of two Soul Sea Realms. And those two people still had a look of not a single grumble. This youth called Ye Yuan was indeed not that simple.
Actually, seeing Ye Yuan being so assertive, Luo Qingfeng and Skymaple's hearts were both thumping.
It was not that they were unconcerned about Mei Zhen's safety. It was just that their Tranquil Cloud Sect seriously did not have much capital to bargain within the Northern Domain.
Experts roamed like clouds here. A random one that came could wipe out the Tranquil Cloud Sect.
"Zihui is slow-witted. Can Lord Ye Yuan express things clearly? Not afraid of Lord Ye Yuan laughing, but City Lord, His Excellency, repeatedly exhorted before coming to definitely invite you over. But now . . ." Xu Zihui revealed a difficult intent.
When he was talking, Xu Zihui could clearly sense Luo Qingfeng and Skymaple's nervousness. But this young man called Ye Yuan actually treated him like air!
Such composure was absolutely not feigned!
It was just that Xu Zihui could not figure out even after racking his brain just where this young man's confidence lie!
Ye Yuan shot Xu Zihui a nonchalant glance and was suddenly a little clearer as he said, "Since that's the case, both of you stay here for a few days first. After this Ye welcomes back the sect elder, I'll go together with the two of you."
"This . . . The meet will be happening in a couple of days. Delaying several days like this isn't good, right?" Xu Zihui said depressedly.
He discovered that in front of this Sea Transformation Realm, he actually could not grasp the slightest initiative to speak.
Right at this time, another voice sounded out again.
"Myriad Sword Sect's envoy, Fu Zonghu, requests an audience!"
Ye Yuan was stunned, then became delighted right away, "Heh heh, really just so happened that what should come, came together today. Saved quite a bit of trouble too. Brother Xu, since this Myriad Sword Sect envoy came, it can be assumed that I can leave with you guys today."
Xu Zihui was uncertain what it meant. Why did it strike up a relation with Myriad Sword Sect too?
But that name Fu Zonghu, Xu Zihui had heard it before. When he heard this voice earlier, he was startled in his heart, and his eyes when looking at Ye Yuan underwent a transformation once more.
This Fu Zonghu was a Myriad Sword Sect's Divine Traversing Realm expert!
What matters actually troubled his grand presence?
Even though the Northern Domain had many Divine Traversing Realm experts, the status of Divine Traversing Realm experts was exceedingly high. They generally did not show face easily.
One had to know that Divine Traversing Realm experts had sufficient strength to establish a sect!
Chapter 496 - Unrivaled
Returning to the Tranquil Cloud Sect once again, Mei Zhen truly felt like a lifetime had passed.
It was only after being detained by the Myriad Sword Sect that Mei Zhen know that the ones who nearly caused the Tranquil Cloud Sect's destruction back then was actually this Myriad Sword Sect!
Him reporting the name of his sect was simply sending sheep to the tiger's maw.
Those few days when he was just detained, his essence energy was sealed, and he did the lowest chores in the Myriad Sword Sect. Whatever dirty work or tiring work would be done by him.
He originally thought that he would be tormented to death like this very soon. Who knew that after several days, the Myriad Sword Sect people not only removed his essence energy seal, they even provided good food and drinks for him.
Although he had no way to leaving the Myriad Sword Sect, compared to the days before, it was simply immortal-like.
All the way until a couple of days ago, Fu Zonghu found him and told him with a mild tone that he was going to send him back to the sect personally.
Mei Zhen first thought that he heard wrongly. When he confirmed that this was not a hallucination, it brought him great agitation.
Furthermore, this in front of him was a Divine Traversing Realm expert!
Fu Zonghu actually used a consulting manner of speaking when talking to him.
What was this playing at?
But on this trip, Fu Zonghu did not say why they released him back either.
Although he was very courteous when talking, upon mention of this matter, he was always vague.
But Mei Zhen did not haggle over this either. To be able to return to the Tranquil Cloud Sect, he was already very satisfied.
"Grand Elder! Sect Master! You . . . You guys actually came back!"
When Mei Zhen saw Skymaple and Luo Qingfeng, he was stunned speechless.
These two people were thrown in jail. With the Tranquil Cloud Sect's strength, how could they possibly be rescued?
Even if Ye Yuan's present combat strength was astonishing, it was not possible to charge all the way to the Heavenly Sky Sect's Towering Peak either and rescue these two people, right?
"Huhu, same as you, we could return to the Tranquil Cloud Sect all due to Ye Yuan's credit!" Skymaple said
with a faint smile.
"Ye . . . Ye Yuan!"
It was really Ye Yuan!
But how on earth did he accomplish it? Mei Zhen was even more perplexed.
"Alright. We'll talk in detail later. There are still guests around," Skymaple said smilingly.
Mei Zhen was dazed, then nodded his head and retreated to one side.
There were still Gu Tianyou and Li Junjie standing behind Fu Zonghu. They were familiar with the situation here, so Fu Zonghu brought them along.
Fu Zonghu came before Ye Yuan and said with a faint smile, "You're Ye Yuan, right? Indeed, heroes come from youngsters! This Heavenly Evil Sect's matters, I heard about it. You actually directly killed the First Level Soul Sea Realm Mao Yuanji with Second Level Sea Transformation Realm strength! Truly inconceivable!"
Xu Zihui and Bao Sangui were greatly taken aback with shock when they heard these words!
Sea Transformation Realm killing Soul Sea Realm?
This . . . Was this really accomplished by the teenage youth before their eyes?
The pair exchanged looks, both reading the astonishment in the other party's eyes!
No wonder the City Lord, His Excellency, attached such importance to this Ye Yuan. Such terrifying talent, not regarding him highly would be weird!
Those top juniors in the Northern Domain might not be on par with this young man before their eyes either!
But Ye Yuan said with a faint smile, "Senior is too kind. Ye Yuan's meager strength is most likely not worth mentioning in front of Senior."
Fu Zonghu smiled slightly and opened his mouth and said, "We've already sent him back. Shouldn't you keep your word as well?"
"That is so, of course."
Ye Yuan was not melodramatic too. He lightly formed seals, releasing Qin Yan.
Seeing Qin Yan, the others were still fine, but Xu Zihui and Bao Sangui were so shocked that their eyeballs nearly popped out.
They finally knew what those incomprehensible words of Ye Yuan's meant just now.
This boy actually detained the Myriad Sword Sect's old ancestor's lineage grandson as a hostage to use to exchange for a puny little elder from his own sect!
How was this touching the tiger's whiskers? This was simply directly plucking out the tiger's whiskers!
Although that Myriad Sword Sect's old ancestor was elusive in his whereabouts, his legends in the Northern Domain were still plenty.
It was said that that old ancestor's temper was very explosive. But now, he actually swallowed his pride and endured in silence, and he really sent the person back!
Xu Zihui s.u.c.k.e.d in a deep breath. He finally knew why the City Lord valued Ye Yuan so highly.
This young man was simply heaven-defying!
Since the three sects and Wu Fang City jointly issued hero invitations, it meant that the Myriad Sword Sect's old ancestor already let bygones be bygones regarding this matter.
Did this boy stumble randomly, making use of the Fierce Gale World invading this node? Or did he plotted long ago?
If he schemed long ago, then this boy's mind was also too monstrous!
Fu Zonghu saw that Qin Yan only had his essence energy sealed and did not have any injuries other than that. A boulder in his heart finally landed too.
According to Qin Hongtao's intentions, as long as Qin Yan had any hint of injury, he would definitely make Tranquil Cloud Sect pay the price!
But before he came, Ning Yixian and Jing Xuan both came to find him and made him to never take action against the Tranquil Cloud Sect.
This put him in an incredibly awkward predicament.
There was no choice. He could only take it one step at a time and come to the Tranquil Cloud Sect and take a look at the situation first before deciding.
Seeing that Ye Yuan did not make things difficult for Qin Yan, Fu Zonghu finally put his heart at ease.
When Qin Yan saw Fu Zonghu, he could not help flushing red as he gave a respectful bow and said, "Grandpa Fu."
Fu Zonghu and Qin Hongtao were in the same generation. Their relationship was pretty decent too. That was why Qin Hongtao could be at ease sending him over.
When Qin Yan met Fu Zonghu, he would have to respectfully call him as Grandpa Fu.
Fu Zonghu smiled slightly and said with a nod, "Yan-er, don't need to be like this. You lost to Ye Yuan. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Know humiliation, then strive harder; that is how a man should be."
Although Qin Yan was haughty, he was not that sort of ignorant silkpants.
Hearing Fu Zonghu saying this, he could not help being dazed as he said, "I've embarrassed Grandfather! Grandfather he, doesn't blame me?"
Fu Zonghu shook his head and said, "Ye Yuan's strength is already unrivaled among the young generation. You losing to him isn't injustice."
Qin Yan's gaze turned intent as he exclaimed, "Unrivaled?"
Fu Zonghu nodded and said, "That's right! Ye Yuan's present strength can already kill a First Level Soul Sea independently! Regardless whether it is you, or Guo Taoqun, or even Yin Yanhua, you are all not his match."
"Hiss . . ." Qin Yan drew a cold breath. His gaze when looking at Ye Yuan was filled with astonishment.
Protecting himself in front of a Soul Sea Realm, he could accomplish that when he examined himself. Even some slightly weaker Soul Sea Realms, there was a possibility of him defeating them too.
But to talk about killing, that absolutely could not be accomplished!
And this youth before his eyes who was seven minor realms lower than him could actually accomplish that!
"Huuu . . . Grandpa Fu, I know what to do already," Qin Yan exhaled deeply and said.
Seeing Qin Yan's gaze, Fu Zonghu nodded slightly. Looks like the setback this time was not a bad thing to Qin Yan.
"Come, I'll remove the seals for you first. Let's return to the sect together."
As Fu Zonghu was talking, he plunged a strand of essence energy into Qin Yan's essence energy sea. But very soon, his brows furrowed together.
He was actually unable to remove the seal!
Ye Yuan smiled slightly when he saw the situation and said, "Better let me. If forcefully breaking the seal, it will cause damage to his essence energy sea."
As he said, Ye Yuan came before Qin Yan and similarly fired a strand of essence energy into his essence energy sea. The seal was removed very quickly.
When Fu Zonghu saw Ye Yuan's actions from the sides, the amazement in his eyes was incomparable.
Chapter 497 - Alchemy Holy Land
Seeing off Fu Zonghu, Ye Yuan then followed Xu Zihui and Bao Sangui to Wu Fang City together with Skymaple.
Along the way, Xu Zihui and Bao Sangui accompanied very cautiously.
The current Ye Yuan in their eyes was not as simple as just a Sea Transformation Realm.
Second Level Sea Transformation killing First Level Soul Sea Realm. A casually laid down essence energy seal actually could not be removed even by a Divine Traversing Realm expert.
Pray tell, which young genius could do it to such an extent?
Just as Fu Zonghu said, Ye Yuan already widened the gap between him and the young generation geniuses!
Forget about Bao Sangui, even Xu Zihui looked incredibly cautious. But Skymaple felt even prouder by the side.
Xu Zihui and Bao Sangui were very respectful when speaking with him as well. Skymaple knew that this was all thanks to Ye Yuan.
Otherwise, forget about going to participate in the highest meet in the Northern Domain this time, Xu Zihui probably would have destroyed the Tranquil Cloud Sect long ago.
Actually, regarding Ye Yuan's growth, Skymaple had long expected it. Hence, being surpassed by a disciple, not only did he not feel ashamed, he felt very proud instead.
Because Ye Yuan this rare talent was Tranquil Cloud Sect's disciple.
Apart from Skymaple, Yue Mengli and Xiao Ruyan followed along too.
Yue Mengli could no longer do without Ye Yuan now, while Xiao Ruyan wanted to experience the End
less World's alchemy world holy land too.
Wu Fang City was a sacred city to the Endless World's alchemists. So, being informed that Ye Yuan was going to Wu Fang City, Skymaple wanted to tag along as well to take a look no matter what.
In the Endless World, this Wu Fang City could be said to be the place where alchemy skills were the most flourishing. Virtually all of the top alchemists all gathered here.
Of course, this so-called flourishing was completely not worth mentioning in Ye Yuan's eyes.
On the path of alchemy, other than that fleeting and ephemeral Alchemy God Realm, there was really nothing that could move him.
. . . . . .
Several days later, the party of six finally arrived at Wu Fang City.
Upon seeing this majestic city, Skymaple actually trembled all over excitedly.
To him, this trip to Wu Fang City was no different from a pilgrimage. As for the meeting that practically gathered all the peak powerhouses in the Northern Domain, it did not hold much of a meaning to him.
Because he purely came here this time as a companion. In front of those people, he could not chime in at all.
"Wu Fang City! Indeed well-deserving to be my Endless World's alchemy holy land!" Skymaple was overwhelmed by his emotions and said.
Xu Zihui and Bao Sangui were proud too and said, "That's natural! In terms of martial power, my Wu Fang City might not be able to compete with the three sects. But even those three great sects have to show some courtesy to City Lord, His Excellency! Because my Wu Fang City doesn't have medicinal pills that can't be refined!"
Hearing these words, Skymaple deeply felt that way too. But Ye Yuan could not hold back it and let out a snigger.
These two fellows, being conceited had to have a limit too, right?
Even the previous life's Ji father and son did not dare to boast such big talk either, let alone a tiny little lower plane's city.
A frog at the bottom of a well was the most genuine portrayal of these two people.
