"Humph! What's impossible? The fact is placed right before your eyes. Could it be that we're all in an illusionary realm right now?" Wu Siyuan said coldly.
"I really didn't expect that this place actually has such a large chunk of boneyard. No wonder it would erupt such a large-scale corpse tide. This place is an area of yin grotto, gathering extremely strong powers of evil yin in one place. As long as one places martial artists' corpses here, it will become zombies before long. But looking at the situation of these white bones, it should be very far back already. It's not possible to form zombies. Then there's only one type of possibility, somebody intentionally buried countless corpses here, then erupted a corpse tide," Ye Yuan said with a solemn face.
Hearing Ye Yuan's analysis, everyone was stricken with terror.
"What Ye Yuan said is right! It's just that I still have some doubts. Just what kind of person has such extraordinary capabilities, and what is his goal too?" Sheng Jun said.
"Yeah. Major powers with this kind of ability shouldn't take fancy on us, these puny little Rank Nine Holy Lands, right? Why on earth are they doing so?" Shu Huajie said.
"Humph! What we should be concerned about right now shouldn't be this, right? Aren't you all going to worry over a little how we should quell this corpse tide? Ye Yuan, aren't you very capable? Try telling us!" Wei Cheng said with a cold smile.
Witnessing Ye Yuan's methods, Wei Cheng was even more jealous in his heart. Along the way, Ye Yuan basked in the limelight, making Wei Cheng give rise to a thick sense of inferiority complex in his heart.
That's right, it was the feeling of inferiority!
Since young, Wei Cheng had always been cut off from this kind of feeling.
But facing Ye Yuan this time, this sort of emotion was born uncontrollably.
At present, they had already gotten away from danger. This sort of emotion was currently being magnified endlessly.
Ye Yuan gave him a nonchalant glance and said, "I have a feeling that those few Tier 8 Corpse Venerables shouldn't be the most powerful existences yet! Want to quell the corpse tide, we probably still have to … enter this boneyard!"
Hearing Ye Yuan's words, everyone's face changed drastically.
Yesterday night's corpse tide, they still had lingering fear in their hearts until now.
If not for Ye Yuan and Blackwind, they, these Phaseless Realms, would probably have to perish here too.
Now, Ye Yuan actually said that they still had to enter inside this sinkhole. This made each and every one of them become hesitant.
"There's no more time for you guys to hesitate. This matter not only impacts my Crimson Afterglow's safety, but it also likewise has to do with you all! Once this corpse tide erupts, the entire White Valiant Region will likely be completely devastated and barren too!" Ye Yuan said in a solemn voice.
Chapter 830 - Have Some Brain!
The elders all revealed conflicted looks on their faces. Clearly, the impression yesterday's corpse tide gave them was too deep.
One look at this boneyard, and it was clear that it was not an unimportant land. A single misstep and one's little life would be left here.
A Phaseless Realm elder entering inside might not obtain any advantages too.
"Young Lord Ye, this corpse tide is already not what Phaseless Realm can stop! Unless it's our various Holy Lands' Holy Lords personally making a move, otherwise, it's totally impossible to quell it!" said one elder from the Soaring Rainbow Holy Land.
Ye Yuan said with a smile, "The Holy Lords making a move … can it be quelled?"
Everyone's faces changed, but they all fell silent.
Just what was in this boneyard, nobody knew either. But to be able to trigger such a large-scale corpse tide, it was likely not that simple in there.
The Holy Lands' Holy Lords were merely First Level Dao Profound.
Although powerful, whether or not could they come out after entering, it was really hard to say.
"Young Lord Ye, what ideas do you have, no harm in saying it out first. Everybody can confer too," Sheng Jun suddenly said.
After a night, Sheng Jun's view of Ye Yuan had already utterly changed. Even talking was much more courteous.
Ye Yuan nodded his head and said slowly, "Everyone's consumption last night were all very huge. There's no rush to enter this boneyard right away either. I have a suggestion. Announce this matter to the entire White Valiant Region's seven Holy Lands, stating to them the pros and cons of this matter. Then, each Holy Land has to send at least one Phaseless Realm to lead the team. Everybody enters inside together, life and death up to each one's fate! Holy Lands that don't come will be the White Valiant Region's common enemy!"
The White Valiant Region was a small region. The vast majority of the territories were all ruled by the seven Holy Lands.
These four Holy Lands at present were already more than half of the White Valiant Region's power. These four families announcing to the White Valiant Region, the other three had no choice but to answer their summons too.
When related to survival or extinction, this kind of major thing, these four Holy Lands naturally would not be ambiguous either.
"Then if …" Hua Shujie said somewhat hesitantly.
"If we all die inside, this White Valiant Region naturally can't stay on anymore either. Everyone find your own way out yourselves then! This matter is of utmost importance. Everybody best goes back and explain to your Holy Lords before making a final decision! But latest by three days, each family will have to confer a final conclusion. If after three days, everyone has not answered yet, my Crimson Afterglow will be the first one to withdraw out of the White Valiant Region!" Ye Yuan said coolly.
...
"What? You want to enter that boneyard? No way! Absolutely not!"
Tu You was also filled with worries hearing about the matter of the boneyard. But when he heard that Ye Yuan wanted to enter the boneyard, he refused to agree no matter what.
Ye Yuan was the successor he designated. Essential experiences and tempering could be had, but this sort of dangerous place, how could he let Ye Yuan risk his own life?
"Young Lord, according to what you guys said, this boneyard is a land of extreme peril. Phaseless Realms might not be able to come out safely if they went in too. You're tied to the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land's future; how can you risk your own life?" Chen Qin also tried his best to urge Ye Yuan.
"We, these old bones, can go and die at any time. But only you can't die! Forget it, I don't have many years to live anymore either, this Emperor will risk his old life this time and take on this boneyard!" Tu You said with a resolved look.
Through this period of observation, Tu You was satisfied to the extreme with Ye Yuan, this young lord.
Regardless whether was it talent, mind, or methods, Ye Yuan was perfect as the Young Lord. He was absolutely the one and only choice to succeed the position of the Holy Lord!
If Ye Yuan lost his life in the boneyard, the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land would really be finished!
Seeing Tu You's worried expression, Ye Yuan was moved inwardly, but he shook his head and said, "The death qi on Holy Lord's body is gradually worsening. Your lifespan barely has much left. That boneyard is a land of extreme yin. The evil qi force is extremely strong. If you go there, you'd probably drop dead right away. Furthermore, your present condition, once you make an appearance, even if Crimson Afterglow pulls through the crisis this time, we'd likely be targeted by the other families too. This trip still needs a person to take charge. Clearly, I'm the most suitable candidate."
Tu You could not help choking up. Ye Yuan thought it out more thoroughly than him.
Moreover, Ye Yuan's performance clearly already made the other few families certain that he was in closed-seclusion.
The moment he made an appearance, everything would be exposed.
Tu You heaved a sigh and said, "Sigh! I'm really a good-for-nothing as the Holy Lord!"
Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Actually, this trip might n
ot be that dangerous either. The reason why I said so to the others was in order to make the other Holy Lands' Holy Lords not take action. If the other Holy Lands' Holy Lords all make a move with only Crimson Afterglow having no movements, it will likely arouse their suspicions."
Tu You looked at Ye Yuan and seriously did not know what he should say.
This child was meticulous in considering things and had a long-term vision and great foresight. If it were him, it was also not possible to do it better than him!
"Alright, then you must pay attention to safety during this trip! If the matter can't be done, you must treat preserving your life as the priority! If you have any needs, feel free to speak!" Tu You said helplessly.
Three days later, the White Valiant Region's Holy Lands, all seven of them, gave a response regarding the corpse tide incident this time and sent people one after another here to the boneyard.
What made Ye Yuan surprised was that the other few Holy Lands' Young Lords actually all came!
But the line-up this time was clearly much stronger than before.
Each family sent out two Phaseless Realm elders and brought along over a dozen Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artists. Seven families gathered together, it was actually as many as over a hundred people!
On the Crimson Afterglow's side, there was one additional Phaseless Realm martial artist. Apart from Wang Zan and Wu Siyuan, there was Cai Yue.
The incident this time gave rise to much discussion. The Heaven's Destiny Trading Company naturally would not be unaware too.
What made Ye Yuan surprised was the Cai Yue heard that this boneyard was a land of extreme yin and actually took the initiative to find him, requesting to come together.
Having an additional helper, Ye Yuan naturally would not be unwilling.
"Hey, kid, you're the one who came up with the lousy idea to force our three families to come here and take the risk, right?" a young man suddenly approached Ye Yuan and said unhappily.
This person was the Skymist Holy Land's Young Lord, called Kingstone.
Ye Yuan shot him a nonchalant glance and said, "This is your responsibility. Where's the talk of forcing?'
"Bullshit responsibility! This lousy place isn't bordering on our three families either, what right do you have to make us come tread into this messy situation?" Kingstone spat.
When Wei Cheng in the distance saw this scene, he was pleased in his heart.
This Kingstone had a short fuse. He instigated slightly just now, and he immediately came to find Ye Yuan to pick a fight.
Although coming to this boneyard was having no alternative, being kneaded by Ye Yuan, he was unhappy in his heart.
Not finding a bit of trouble, he could not be happy in his heart no matter what.
"No right or anything. If you aren't willing to come, you can go right now. Nobody will stop you." Ye Yuan said coolly.
"You!" Kingstone could not help choking up.
"Have some brain! Is it very fun to be used as cannon fodder by others? To think that you're even the Skymist Holy Land's Young Lord. I really don't know how your Holy Lord chose a moron like you!" Ye Yuan said with a cold expression.
"You! Punk, I'll shred this mouth of yours!" Kingstone had a fiery temper. The moment he heard, he immediately exploded.
Chapter 831 - Fiendish Shadow's First Appearance
"If I were you, I wouldn't do this kind of foolish thing, to go provoke Brother Ye!"
Kingstone was just about to make a move when a voice sounded out behind him. Turning around to take a look, it was Sheng Jun.
Kingstone's face fell, and he said, "Sheng Jun, what do you mean by that?"
"Don't blame me for not warning you, if you look down on Brother Ye because he's Boundless Realm, you'll suffer a huge loss!" Sheng Jun said coolly.
"Humph! Boundless Realm is Boundless Realm, can he still overturn the heavens?"
Ye Yuan's strength, if not personally witnessed, it was very hard for the average person to imagine.
Ye Yuan's performance that day already made Sheng Jun utterly convinced. In his eyes, Ye Yuan already had the qualifications to be treated as an equal with them Young Lords.
"No need to say no more rubbish either. How Brother Ye's strength is like, you'll naturally know after entering the boneyard. Right now, it's still best to not stir up trouble. Wait until you enter the boneyard, you'll naturally know Brother Ye's painstaking efforts. Making you guys all join in was also something that couldn't be helped," Sheng Jun said.
Kingstone shot a fierce glare at Sheng Jun and said with a cold snort, "Humph! This score, we'll settle it again later!"
Finished talking, Kingstone turned right around and left.
"Many thanks to Brother Sheng for helping out!" Ye Yuan clasped his hands and said with a smile.
"Huhu, Brother Ye is too kind. With Brother Ye's strength, Kingstone can't do anything to you at all. I just don't wish for unnecessary issues to crop up before entering the boneyard. That's why I made an unnecessary move," Sheng Jun responded with a smile.
Ye Yuan nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Brother Ye, the seven great Holy Lands have already gathered together. What should we do now? Right now is still daytime, that boneyard has already disappeared. How do we enter?" Hua Shujie came up to ask as well.
Ye Yuan said, "Let everybody gather around first."
After a round of calling, a hundred over people gathered around.
Ye Yuan fished out several glass balls from inside his storage ring and threw them into the air, casually firing out several attacks, and directly shattering the glass balls.
Milky white powder scattered down, as if it was snowing, enveloping these hundred over people inside.
Wei Cheng's expression changed, and he said, "Ye Yuan, what the hell are you doing?!"
As he was talking, he was going to avoid these powder.
The other people's reactions were the same as him, all afraid of Ye Yuan being up to some mischief.
"Whoever wants to deal with the zombies by themselves, just directly go out! I won't stop!"
One sentence made everyone freeze.
Ye Yuan swept over everyone and said coolly, "This thing is called Agarwood Powder. It has extremely strong corrosive effects against zombies and is also something that zombies are very fearful of. Covering on the body, zombies will automatically avoid you guys."
"It's actually Agarwood Powder! Heard that this thing is extremely hard to refine! Didn't expect that Crimson Afterglow actually has this kind of excellent stuff!"
"I also heard before that zombies below Tier 5 will melt upon contact. It can be said to be a jinx of zombies! I even heard that there are higher grades of Agarwood Powder that even Corpse Venerables, Corpse Emperors are extremely fearful of!"
"Great! This time, entering the boneyard, we finally have an additional layer of protection!"
These were all elder-class martial artists. Their knowledge and experiences were all very extensive. Some people were immediately overjoyed when they heard that it was Agarwood Powder.
In order to enter this boneyard, Ye Yuan also made ample preparations these few days. Agarwood Powder was one of them.
The zombies inside were too many. If killing one by one, it was also not possible to kill finish when one killed until they were completely drained.
In order to save essence energy, one naturally had to avoid these zombies.
Apart from this, Ye Yuan naturally also refined a large batch of a useful medicinal pill.
With the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land as support, Ye Yuan naturally had assurance in refining these things as well.
Before long, the Agarwood Powder landed, blanketing a layer on everyone's bodies.
Regarding this trick of Ye Yuan's, everyone was naturally endlessly grateful.
Finished doing this, Ye Yuan flew into the air. Overlooking this stretch of flatland, his gaze revealed a ruminating look.
"Humph! Purposely pretending to be mysterious! I
f the boneyard can be found during the day, was there still a need to wait until the corpse tide erupted before discovering it?" Wei Cheng said scornfully.
Right at this time, Ye Yuan suddenly had several additional small flags appear in his hands.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
In an instant, Ye Yuan fired out all of the small flags in his hands, inserting in various positions.
Just as everyone was feeling baffled, a several dozen feet wide hole suddenly appeared in the ground, linking straight underground!
"This … How was this done? Could it be that there is still a grand array here? But I didn't detect it at all!" A Phaseless Realm elder exclaimed in shock.
"Brother Ye, how did you do it? I even thought that we have to wait until nighttime and have a huge battle with the zombies again!" Sheng Jun said in puzzlement.
Ye Yuan said smilingly, "I already detected it on that day. There seems to be an ancient grand array here. Its power is extremely strong! This boneyard should have existed all along. It's just that because it was concealed by the ancient grand array, that's why it became a flatland. If my conjectures are right, this ancient grand array should have loosened up somewhat, that's why it resulted in the evil yin qi escaping, and zombies running rampant. And the boneyard will also appear when the yin qi is at the peak at night."
Sheng Jun was taken aback from shock. They were killing the zombies together with Ye Yuan, but Ye Yuan actually perceived so many things and thought of ways to crack it.
This Ye Yuan was truly remarkable! He was actually even well-versed in array formations!
This skill of Ye Yuan's evidently opened up a hole in the grand array, linking straight to the boneyard.
"Brother Ye truly has excellent measures. This Sheng is ashamed of his inferiority," Sheng Jun praised from the bottom of his heart.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Brother Sheng is too kind. This grand array concealing the boneyard should only be an outer-ring array formation. Through countless years of depletion, the power is already far from before. Otherwise, with this Ye's this bit of strength, I can't crack it either."
