This Wei Cheng was the Cloud Watchtower Holy Land's number one genius who was inducted by the Cloud Watchtower Holy Land's Holy Lord last year. His strength was extremely formidable.
In comparison, the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land's junior generation was way worse. Hence, they kept stalling and did not appoint a young lord, all the way until Ye Yuan's appearance.
Hearing Wang Zan explained away, Wei Cheng said with a cold snort, "Resorting to sophistry in self-justification! This stretch of area is the region where the corpse tide erupted the fiercest. You don't tell me that this area is not your Crimson Afterglow Holy Land's boundary! Our Cloud Watchtower Holy Land coming over now is to help you resolve the danger, and you guys actually have such an attitude! Looks like we were somewhat meddlesome. Let's go!"
Wang Zan's expression changed, and he hurriedly went forward, wanting to stop the other party.
But was stopped by Ye Yuan who said coolly, "Let him go!"
Wang Zan was somewhat put on a spot and said softly, "Young Lord, the corpse tide this time is too massive. It's probably not what we, a single Holy Land, are able to resolve!"
But when these words landed in Wei Cheng's ear, his eyebrows raised up, and he said deridingly, "Good gracious, I was wondering who it was. Turns out that you're the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land's newly appointed Boundless Realm Young Lord! Everyone says that the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land is declining with each passing day. Looking at it now, it's indeed the case! A puny little Boundless Realm martial artist was actually appointed as Young Lord. Really disgraceful enough!"
The moment Wang Zan heard, his face flushed scarlet red.
He had been garrisoned at the frontiers all along. Although he was aware of the matters that happened in the Holy Land, it was mostly from hearing.
Toward this Boundless Realm Young Lord, he was actually quite disapproving in his heart.
Being verbally insulted by another Holy Land's Young Lord at this time, he felt deeply affected like he had experienced it himself and felt that it was humiliating to the extreme.
"Heh heh, Young Lord Wei Cheng's aura is somewhat unstable. There seems to still be some bruises on your face. No matter how you look at it, it seems like you were taught a lesson by someone? Oh, right, heard that an old man and a youth came to the White Valiant Region sometime ago to challenge the White Valiant Region's young geniuses. The wound on Young Lord Wei Cheng's face wouldn't have been done by them, right?" The Wu Siyuan who did not speak at the side all along ridiculed at this time.
Wei Cheng's expression sunk when he heard that. He involuntarily recalled countless staff images in his mind.
The bruises on his face were left behind by precisely Luo Tong.
Before Luo Tong and Grandpa Sun came to the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land, where they arrived at was precisely the Cloud Watchtower Holy Land.
The Wei Cheng who was rated as invincible in the same realm was actually beaten into a pig's head by Luo Tong!
Even though close to a month's time had already passed, the bruises on his face had not recovered.
This was Wei Cheng's greatest humiliation in his lifetime, but he had the scars directly torn open by Wu Siyuan!
"Insolent! That youngster's strength was unfathomable. Young Lord Wei Cheng only succ.u.mbed because his mind wandered for a moment! Wu Siyuan, don't defame Young Lord Wei Cheng! If you have the capabilities, let this Boundless Realm Young Lord of yours go try fighting him!" denounced a Phaseless Realm elder who was behind Wei Cheng,.
"Hahaha!" When Wu Siyuan heard that elder's words, he could not refrain from bursting into laughter. These are Chinese vampires, also known as Jiangshi. They are like a cross between western zombies and vampires. They are corpses that hop around because their legs can't bend from rigor mortis and they drink human blood. Lots of old hong kong movies about them.
Chapter 826 - Cooperation
"What are you laughing at?!" Wei Cheng said with a grim expression.
"Laughing at what? I'm laughing at your ignorance! That Luo Tong came to our White Valiant Region in order to train. Could it be that you think he won't come to the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land? He's already Young Lord's vanquished foe long ago, but you guys want Young Lord to go fight with him? Isn't that very laughable?" Wu Siyuan said with a hearty laugh.
"What did you say?! This Boundless Realm Young Lord of yours can beat that Luo Tong? Wu Siyuan, do you take me, Wei Cheng, to be a fool?" Wei Cheng said with a cold smile.
He was all too familiar with that Luo Tong's strength. Even though his cultivation realm was a little higher than Luo Tong's, in front of Luo Tong, he had no strength to retaliate in the slightest.
Only after seeing Luo Tong did Wei Cheng know what was called a true genius!
But now, Wu Siyuan said that Ye Yuan defeated Luo Tong. This was simply the biggest joke in the world!
Luo Tong was a full major realm higher than Ye Yuan. Furthermore, his concepts comprehension was exceptionally high. For Ye Yuan to want to beat him, the possibility did not exist at all!
"Heh, whether you believe it or not is up to you. Our Crimson Afterglow Holy Land personally witnessed this incident from top to bottom. Could it still be faked?" Wu Siyuan said disdainfully.
Wei Cheng clearly did not believe it, but Wu Siyuan readily called out Luo Tong's name. Clearly, Luo Tong had already been to the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land.
But Ye Yuan was completely unscathed currently, unwittingly making Wei Cheng become somewhat uncertain.
Logically speaking, Luo Tong went to the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land after the Cloud Watchtower Holy Land. If Ye Yuan really exchanged blows with Luo Tong, it was impossible to not leave behind injuries on his body.
"Is that so? Whether it's a mule or a horse, drag it out for a walk, and you'll know!"
Wei Cheng's heart stirred and looked towards Ye Yuan with an unfriendly expression.
Both parties were three versus three right now. With the two other elders' tying down the other two, it was as easy as turning one's hand for him to feel out Ye Yuan's depths!
While talking, Wei Cheng already scuttled towards Ye Yuan with extreme speed.
"Careful, Young Lord!"
Although Wang Zan was rather disapproving of Ye Yuan, Ye Yuan was the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land's Young Lord after all. How could he be bullied by outsiders?
But his figure had yet to move when it was held back by Wu Siyuan.
"Wu Siyuan, what are you doing!" Wang Zan glared at Wu Siyuan and said.
Very clearly, he was extremely discontented with Wu Siyuan's way of doing things. The Young Lord was encountering danger, how could they look on with folded arms?
"Just watch, this Young Lord of ours isn't an average man! For Wei Cheng to want to bully him, it's still early!" Wu Siyuan said with a smile.
"Roar!"
Wei Cheng's figure was still 80 feet away from Ye Yuan when a black flood dragon suddenly appeared between him and Ye Yuan.
A feeling of immense danger welled up in his heart. Wei Cheng forcefully stopped his figure.
Seeing Blackwind, the faces of Cloud Watchtower Holy Land's three people changed drastically!
"To dare offend Master, deserve to die!" Blackwind said coldly.
"Forget it, Blackwind. No need to haggle over it with him," Ye Yuan said indifferently.
The pressure of the great circle Tier 8 releasing out, Wei Cheng had a feeling of being at death's door!
But what made him even more shocked was that this black flood dragon actually called Ye Yuan as Master!
A Boundless Realm actually brought along a great circle Tier 8 demonic beast servant. This … This was also a bit too extravagant, right?
"Yes, Master!"
Hearing Ye Yuan's words, Blackwind retreated to one side obediently.
Wei Cheng's eyes went wide. This was a great circle of Tier 8 servant!
Forget about him, even if it was the Holy Lord, it was very hard to have such treatment either.
A great
circle Tier 8 demonic beast was not so easy to run into. Furthermore, a great circle Tier 8 demonic beast, every single one had extremely high intelligence.
It was easy for the Holy Lord to want to kill, but wanting to make the other party pledge allegiance was incredibly difficult.
Let alone that Blackwind was even a demonic beast who was about to transform into a dragon. He was considered half of the dragon race already. This kind of demonic beasts was extremely proud, making it even less likely to become a human's servant.
Yet, Ye Yuan obtained such a demonic beast!
Wei Cheng naturally would not think that this was subdued by Ye Yuan himself. Apart from the Holy Lord Tu You, who else in the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land had this kind of strength?
These few years, it was widely rumored that Tu You's situation was not good. Looking at it now, this was absolute rubbish!
"Young Lord Wei Cheng, don't feign composure here anymore. If the corpse tide isn't controlled, forget about my Crimson Afterglow Holy Land, even the entire White Valiant Region might become a death zone! Therefore, what we need to do now is sincere cooperation and not stirring up trouble!" Ye Yuan said coolly.
Wei Cheng's expression was very ugly. Turns out that his thoughts were seen through by Ye Yuan long ago.
Although the Cloud Watchtower Holy Land's situation was not as severe as the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land, the situation could no longer be ignored as well.
"Humph! Looking at the current situation, the source of this corpse tide is absolutely your Crimson Afterglow Holy Land! Causing such a major incident, I want to see how you guys give an account to the other Holy Lands!" Wei Cheng said with a cold snort.
Being caught by Ye Yuan, Wei Cheng was very unhappy. But he was wary of Blackwind too, so he could only bring out the other holy lands to suppress Ye Yuan.
But when Ye Yuan heard that, he said, "Right now, the corpse tide clearly shows a trend of spreading. Furthermore, after ordinary martial artists are killed by the zombies, they will be controlled by the zombies too. At this rate, the scale of the corpse tide will become increasingly massive. At that time, it will be unsalvageable! If I were you, I'd take out sincerity to cooperate. Get off my back about whatever source issues. Want to really talk, talk again after stopping the corpse tide!"
Right now was clearly not the time to be disputing over trifles, but for the various Holy Lands to cooperate properly and eradicate the corpse tide.
Right at this time, seven to eight silhouettes appeared in the horizon and were currently approaching them.
Wu Siyuan whispered by Ye Yuan's ear: "It's the Fire Feather Holy Land and the Soaring Rainbow Holy Land's people. Those two young men are the Holy Lands' Young Lords. One is called Hua Shujie, the other is called Sheng Jun."
Ye Yuan nodded slightly, indicating that he got it.
After a round of small talk, Hua Shujie and Sheng Jun both got to know that Ye Yuan was the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land's newly ascended Young Lord as well. Naturally, they could not dispense with contempt in their hearts.
But with Blackwind around, even if they looked down on him, they got to suppress it in their hearts too.
"Since you've come, you should also understand the situation at the moment. This time, our four families should contribute a share to eliminate this corpse tide!" Ye Yuan opened his mouth and said.
"Heh, why don't Young Lord Ye say just how our four families should cooperate?" Wei Cheng said with a cold laugh.
Although unwilling to admit it, what Ye Yuan was talking about was indeed a matter that brooked no delay.
Each day it was delayed, the difficulty level of dealing with this corpse tide would become even greater!
Ye Yuan had a well thought out plan long ago and opened his mouth and said, "This corpse tide is limitless and simply can't be killed finish. Forcefully dealing with these zombies will only increase the casualties in vain. Want to eliminate the corpse tide this time, we still got to figure out the real reason for corpse tide's eruption! Hence, I plan on fishing out just where these zombies came from after night falls today. I wonder what everyone's opinions are?"
Hua Shujie thought about it and said with a nod, "What Young Lord Ye said is right! In this Hua's opinion, even if everyone has some conflicts, put it down first. It's not too late for us to shut the doors and settle accounts after pushing back the corpse tide."
"I have no objections either! With our strength, these zombies can't come close at all. Today, we'll go in the same direction the zombies come from and search properly. Best if we can find their den and wipe them out all together!"
Chapter 827 - Killing People
At night, dark clouds covered the moon, causing people unable to see one's hands in front of them.
"Roar!"
All of a sudden, a low roar echoed out, shattering the night's tranquility.
Following this low roar, faint grinding sounds started sounding out on the earth's surface, making Ye Yuan and the rest unwittingly feel their scalps tingle.
A terrifying air crept out. Even if each and every one of these people were courageous because of superb skills, their hearts could not refrain from speeding up at this time too.
"It's here!" Ye Yuan said solemnly.
His vision was extremely good and could already see the tidewater like zombie army surging over towards here.
Everyone s.u.c.k.e.d in a cold breath. The quantity of this zombie army before their eyes was seriously too outrageous.
As far as the eye could see were all densely packed zombies, giving people an overwhelming sense of pressure.
"This … Isn't this number a bit too terrifying? Even if every person spat a mouthful of spittle, it can drown us to death too!" Sheng Jun said.
"They are not people but zombies! Still talking about spitting spittle, don't you find it disgusting!" Hua Shujie said sarcastically.
"You guys are still in the mood to jest around! Such numbers of zombies, even if we're the ones who get trapped inside, we'll get exhausted to death too!" Wei Cheng said grimly.
A vast expanse of corpse tide stretching to infinity, the sensory organ impact it brought to people was seriously too shocking.
Even if it were these Phaseless Realm elders, all of them had grave expressions too, akin to facing a formidable foe.
The strength of these zombies were all not strong. The vast majority were under Tier 6. But when the numbers reached such a horrifying extent, it already went from a quantitative transformation to qualitative transformation.
Phaseless Realm martial artists getting bogged down inside had very slim chances of survival too!
"Looking at the direction they are headed, it should be Waterplain City. Looks like they really want to expand territory!" Wu Siyuan said in a solemn voice.
Ye Yuan's expression was calm as he said coolly, "Everyone rush over in the same direction where the zombies are coming from, don't turn back! We only have a night's time. Everybody, make the best use of time and don't get enamored with fighting."
Finished talking, Ye Yuan's feet suddenly unleashed a move and actually took the lead to sprint towards the corpse tide!
Wang Zan's expression changed drastically when he saw the situation and shouted at Ye Yuan's back view, "Wait for us, Young Lord!"
In Wang Zan's view, Ye Yuan's greatest reliance was the black flood dragon. He definitely had some capabilities himself, but facing this ocean-like corpse tide, how could it be adequate?
Wang Zan's figure moved, and he chased after too. Wu Siyuan followed closely behind.
Blackwind chased after Ye Yuan like a gust of wind as well.
Wei Cheng sneered coldly when he saw the situation and said, "Reckless thing with no idea of death or danger, a measly little Boundless Realm actually dares to take the lead!"
Sheng Jun smiled too and said, "This new Crimson Afterglow's Young Lord seems rather reckless! Haha, hope that these zombies will show mercy and not hurt him."
"Stop making irresponsible and carping re
marks here. Let's go together! If that Ye Yuan dies, we won't gain any advantage either! No matter how lacking his strength is, isn't there still a great circle of Tier 8 black flood dragon? With him around, we have no worries this trip," Hua Shujie said.
Everyone nodded, their figures rushing speedily over towards the corpse tide too.
But their figures had yet to walk out very far when they all froze abruptly; the looks on their faces were fascinating to the extreme.
Far away, Ye Yuan was in the front ranks. It was only for them to see him brandishing the longsword in his hand. Countless sword lights were instantly released, attacking towards those zombies.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.
Ye Yuan's sword lights were like cutting grass, instantly reaping a large stretch of zombies!
For a moment, those residual limbs of those zombies flew everywhere in the sky. The spectacle was shocking to the max.
Just one move and Ye Yuan immediately opened up an enormous gap in the corpse tide! He did not stay, rushing over straight towards the gap.
The Starmoon Sword in Ye Yuan's hand was like a major killing tool. The places he passed through, he swept away all obstacles.
Wei Cheng and the rest following at the back were all dumbfounded.
In the corpse tide, there were large swathes of Tier 5 zombies whose strength were comparable to Boundless Realm martial artists. Ye Yuan's attack actually directly disregarded their cultivation realms!
Wang Zan was a Phaseless Realm martial artist at any rate. He was already almost catching up to Ye Yuan before this.
But at this time, the expression on his face was shocked to the extreme, and he actually forgot to attack for a moment.
Suddenly, his back was patted by someone. Turning around to take a look, it was Wu Siyuan.
"Is it very shocking? Told you long before, this Young Lord of ours is special! Wait until he truly grows up, it will be the hour of our Crimson Afterglow Holy Land's splendor once more!" Wu Siyuan said.
From opposing Ye Yuan to being filled with anticipation towards Ye Yuan now, Wu Siyuan's transformation could be said to be huge.
