But this time, his recovery was not as quick as last time.
"Damn it! Being severely wounded by the Soul Suppressing Pearl, wanting to recover my strength this time will have to expend even more effort! Luckily, that brat is unable to control the Soul Suppressing Pearl. Otherwise, I would really fail miserably at a simple task this time! The two of you, kill this brat for me! This boy has the Soul Suppressing Pearl. We absolutely can't let him walk out alive!"
Jia Lan's words were said to the two Holy Followers.
Those two holy followers clearly had baffled looks too and did not know what happened at all.
Although they did not know what the Soul Suppressing Pearl was, to be able to severely wound Fiendgod Jia Lan, it was clearly some incredible thing.
Hearing Jia Lan's order, the two people's hearts went cold.
Ye Yuan could actually even seriously injure Jia Lan. The two of them were really quite fearful now.
"Don't worry, that boy's divine soul suffered a serious injury from me just now and has already thoroughly fallen unconscious, without any strength to retaliate anymore. Now is precisely the opportune moment to kill him!" Jia Lan also urged when he saw that the two people were somewhat hesitant.
Hearing Jia Lan's words, the two people calmed down slightly in their hearts. Their figures moved and attacked Ye Yuan.
"Don't think about harming Master!"
Even though Blackwind was already an arrow at the end of its flight, he used the last bit of strength at this time too, wanting to stop the two.
But these two people's strengths were too powerful. The already severely injured Blackwind was clearly not the duo's match.
Blackwind knew that these two people were very powerful and was already prepared to die.
But right then, an enormous pagoda dropped from the sky, directly crushing the two holy followers into pancakes with a momentum as swift as a sudden peal of thunder that left no time for covering the ears!
When Blackwind saw the situation, he was pleasantly surprised as he said, "Lord Throne! Many thanks to Lord Throne for lending a helping hand!"
A black-robed person appeared in front of everyone. Who could it be if not Long Teng?
Looking at this huge pagoda that suddenly appeared, Jia Lan's eyes became wide saucers!
"Vast Heaven Stele! It's the aura of the Vast Heaven Stele! This … This …"
Jia Lan felt like his brain was a little lacking to comprehend it. He never would have thought that on the first day he came out of the Unparalleled Ancient Fiend Sealing Grand Array, not only was he severely wounded by the legendary Soul Suppressing Pearl, he even saw the Vast Heaven Stele which suppressed him back then!
Even though he had never seen before this Vast Heaven Pagoda in front of him, the Vast Heaven Stele's aura, he recognized it at a glance.
"Fiendgod Jia Lan, right? To actually dare have designs on Ye Yuan. Today, I'll use this Vast Heaven Pagoda to kill you!" Long Teng's cold voice transmitted out from the black robes.
Jia Lan's expression changed several times, his figure abruptly burst out, and actually ran frantically over towards the entrance of the cave, virtually vanishing from everyone's sights in a blink of an eye.
After Jia Lan left, the Long Teng within the black robes also slightly spat a mouthful of turbid air, seemingly breathing out a sigh of relief.
This series of unforeseen events happened too abruptly, making it too much for Sheng Jun and Wu Siyuan they all to take in.
Until now, they also had not figured out what was going on.
But this black-robed person in front of them saving them was an indisputable fact.
Sheng Jun led the remaining few people, hurriedly came forward to give a bow to Long Teng, and said, "Many thanks for Senior's life-saving grace! Please accept a bow from Sheng Jun!"
"En, the events that happened here today, you all had best forget all of it. Otherwise … bear the consequences yourself!" Long Teng said coldly.
Sheng Jun and the others, their hearts went cold. He hurriedly said, "Rest assured, Senior. Even if I die, this Junior won't say a single word!"
"Alright, you guys can go already," Long Teng said indifferently.
Sheng Jun was stunned and said somewhat hesitantly, "Then Brother Ye he …"
"Ye Yuan naturally have this old man to keep an eye on. You guys just leave!"
Long Teng already said it until like this, Sheng Jun they all naturally did not dare to defy. Giving another bow to Long Teng, they left.
Even though they were unclear about the origins of this black-robed person, his relationship with Ye Yuan was clearly very close. With such a powerful existence like this guarding, Ye Yuan should be fine.
But Sheng Jun looked at his group of people and also had a bitter look.
When coming in, it was in a mighty formation of over a hundred people. Now, there was only around 10 left. The losses actually exceeded 90%.
But he also knew that if not for Ye Yuan, they would probably be completely wiped out long ago.
Chapter 845 - Life and Death Uncertain
"Cough, cough, cough …"
After everyone left the underground cave, Long Teng suddenly started coughing violently.
Blackwind's expression changed, and he said, "Lord Throne, you …"
Long Teng waved his hand and gasped for air as he said, "Forcefully deploying the Vast Heaven Pagoda greatly damaged my vitality. If that Fiendgod Jia Lan didn't leave, I would really be helpless against him."
Turns out that earlier, Long Teng cutting down the two Holy Followers with the momentum of a thunderbolt was just for the sake of scaring away Jia Lan.
And he himself merely just had the power of one attack. The composure from before was all feigned.
Blackwind still found it odd previously. Since Long Teng had such formidable strength, why didn't he come out earlier?
Looks like, deploying this Vast Heaven Pagoda was also an immense burden on Long Teng.
"Lord Throne, is Master … okay?" Looking at the unconscious Ye Yuan, Blackwind said worriedly.
Long Teng's brows furrowed and he shook his head and said, "I can't tell either. Maybe he can wake up, maybe … he'll never wake up again. Sigh, earlier, Fiendgod Jia Lan's actions were too swift. Even I didn't react to it as well. Jia Lan's fiendish sense was too powerful, virtually tearing Ye Yuan's divine soul into shreds instantly."
Blackwind's expression changed as he said, "What? His divine soul was torn into shreds? Doesn't that mean that Master is already a dead man now?"
Long Teng hesitated for a moment before saying, "Logically speaking, it's indeed so! But I don't know why, Ye Yuan's torn up divine soul did not dissipate, but it retained a hint of lifeforce without extinguishing. That Jia Lan also said before previously, Ye Yuan obtained a Soul Suppressing Pearl. Looks like it's some incredible treasure. Perhaps that Soul Suppressing Pearl really can bring Ye Yuan back to life, who knows."
Talking until here, he was secretly alarmed too.
From the Endless World to the Divine Realm, Long Teng already followed Ye Yuan for a very long time and had always been observing Ye Yuan in the dark.
He thought he already knew Ye Yuan like the back of his palm. But looking at it now, Ye Yuan actually still had many secrets on him which he did not know.
Long Teng boasted of having extensive knowledge and experience, but this whatever Soul Suppressing Pearl, it was still his first time hearing of it.
A thing which even Fiendgod Jia Lan was extremely fearful of was bound to not be an ordinary item.
"Then … when will Master wake up?" Blackwind calmed down slightly in his heart, but he still asked worriedly.
"Now, that is uncertain. Maybe three days, maybe a month, maybe … he'll never wake up again. But Ye Yuan is a person possessing great destiny. He shouldn't die young. This place should already have no dangers. You keep guard over him," Long Teng heaved a sigh and said.
Finished talking, Long Teng leaped, and entered inside the Vas
t Heaven Pagoda, while the Vast Heaven Pagoda became small once more and enter inside Ye Yuan's body.
...
In a wink, two months passed. From the White Valiant Region's seven great Holy Lands, there were six Young Lords who perished in the boneyard. This caused a massive upheaval in the White Valiant Region.
Through the Soaring Rainbow Holy Land and the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land, two great Holy Lands' exaggeration, the boneyard already became the White Valiant Region's restricted area. Nobody dared to step foot in it anymore.
In fact, the one who suffered the greatest loss was probably the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land.
Tu You finally managed to find a successor. Now, his life and death were uncertain. This was a tremendous blow to him.
Two months without news, clearly, hope for Ye Yuan to return alive was already very bleak.
Tu You already did not have many good years left. This period of time, he could be said to pass each day as if it were a year. Every day was spent in the midst of torment.
On this day, he seriously could not sit still anymore and finally went to get Chen Qi.
"Chen Qin, I plan on making a trip to the boneyard to investigate what's going on! Even though Wu Siyuan repeatedly said that I can't go down, not going to take a look at Ye Yuan's fate, I still can't set my mind at ease," Tu You said.
Chen Qin's face revealed a complicated expression. About Tu You's condition, he saw it clearly too, but he was at a loss on what to do.
These two months, Tu You's entire person aged considerably again. At this rate, Chen Qin reckoned that it would be very hard for Tu You to even make it through next year.
Chen Qin took it into his sights, was anxious in his heart, but could not do anything at all.
"Holy Lord, Wu Siyuan said before, there's a senior with unfathomable strength guarding Ye Yuan. It should be fine, right? He exhorted over and over again, that Senior forbade people from going to the boneyard. Holy Lord going there, what if you offend him? What to do then?" Chen Qin said.
"I don't care anymore! At most, just kill me and be done with it! This body of mine already can't last for much longer. Finally managed to find Ye Yuan, this fine sapling, I'm not reconciled to it!" Tu You said.
Chen Qi was helpless and could only say, "Holy Lord, I'll go! This Crimson Afterglow Holy Land still needs Holy Lord to take charge of the overall situation!"
But Tu You said firmly, "No, this time, I'll go personally! With my current condition, I can't last for much longer anymore. If I die, then I die, no big deal. After I'm gone, this Crimson Afterglow Holy Land will temporarily be administered by you! Understood?"
"Holy Lord!" Chen Qin said anxiously.
Tu You waved a hand and said, "My will is set, no need to say anymore!"
Finished talking, Tu You prepared to get up and leave.
Right at this time, a voice transmitted throughout the entire Crimson Afterglow Holy Land.
"Crimson Afterglow Holy Land's members listen up! I limit you all to hand over Ye Yuan within ten breaths of time! Otherwise, kill without mercy!"
Tu You and Chen Qin exchanged glances, both seeing the serious looks in the other party's eyes.
"The person outside is clearly threatening us, making no attempt to conceal his strength in the slightest! The arrival's strength is so strong, likely … Third Level Dao Profound strength!" Tu You said solemnly.
Chen Qin frowned and said, "When did Ye Yuan provoke such a powerful enemy? This kind of adversary, our Crimson Afterglow Holy Land isn't a match at all! Holy Lord, what should we do?"
"Ten!" The powerhouse outside already started counting down.
Tu You looked up and heaved a long sigh as he said, "Could it be that the heaven wants my Crimson Afterglow dead?"
"Holy Lord, we'd better go out and take a look first. Perhaps … there's still room for maneuver." Chen Qin said.
Tu You nodded slightly and said, "There's only this as well!"
Facing such an expert, the two people did not dare to dawdle. This time, Tu You personally took the field.
Tu You flew into the air, but he discovered that the enemy only had two people. He slightly breathed out a sigh in relief inwardly too.
One was a middle-aged man. This person's strength was unfathomable, it was that Third Level Dao Profound powerhouse, while the other was a young man, also Ninth Level Phaseless Realm!
"I wonder how did Ye Yuan offend milords, I'll offer an apology on his behalf to you gentlemen, is that good?"
Tu You this Dao Profound Realm expert already lowered his attitude very low.
A large group of martial artists already gathered outside at this time. Each and every one with an appearance as if facing a great enemy.
But when they saw Tu You, they were stupefied.
"Isn't that the Holy Lord? He … Why is he like this?"
"No way, right? That old man at the end of his life is really Holy Lord Tu You? This … How is this possible?"
"Turns out the rumours were true! Even though Holy Lord Tu You is still around, he … is already not far from passing away while in meditation."
When the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land's martial artists saw Tu You, they all did not dare to believe their own eyes.
However, that young man did not care so much. He just nonchalantly said one sentence, "Not good!"
Chapter 846 - Overbearing Attitude
"Zhou Yu, what are you still stoning there for? Continue counting down. After ten breaths, if I don't see Ye Yuan, you all will have to be buried with him! No, wait, another breath of time passed just now, it should be eight breaths," the young man said coldly.
This young man was none other than precisely the Zhou Yan who came all the way here!
Zhou Yan's attitude was overbearing right now, not giving Tu You a chance to speak at all.
His objective was very simple, that was in order to capture Ye Yuan!
Tu You's expression was very ugly. His attitude was already placed subserviently, but the other party did not go for it in the slightest.
His appearance clearly already utterly shattered the false impression that he constructed for many years. But right now was already the Crimson Afterglow's most critical moment, Tu You could not care that much anymore.
Tu You gritted his teeth and said, "Not hiding from this Little Brother, but Ye Yuan isn't in the Holy Land at the moment."
"Seven!" Zhou Yu still counted down unhurriedly.
Zhou Yan darted Tu You an indifferent glance and said with a cold smile, "Holy Land? A First Level Dao Profound on the verge of death also dares to call this place a Holy Land? Heh heh, whether he's here or not, I don't care. I only know that he is your place's young lord. Finding you guys is definitely not wrong! Also, little brother is not what you can call."
Tu You's face fell, angered by Zhou Yan until his entire body trembled.
This Zhou Yan was completely unreasonable. Ye Yuan's life and death was uncertain right now, where on earth would he go to find Ye Yuan?
Even if Ye Yuan were really here, he would not hand Ye Yuan over either!
But this Zhou Yan was too unbridled, thinking nothing of the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land at all.
"Pushing others too far! Do you think that by bringing a Third Level Dao Profound expert here, this Emperor will really be scared of you? Humph! We won't hand Ye Yuan over. If you really want to pester unreasonably, this old man will cut you down right here even if I risk my life too!" Zhou Yan was clearly not giving Crimson Afterglow a way out. Tu You finally exploded.
Although he was already an expiring lamp without oil at present, using all of his power, cutting down a Phaseless Realm martial artist was still achievable, even if the other party brought along a Third Level Dao Profound Realm powerhouse!
Zhou Yan raised his eyebrow slightly and gave Tu You a disdainful look as he laughed, "Oh? With just the likes of you, an old fellow halfway buried into the dirt, you dare to talk drivel too? Huhu, fine, this young master will give you this opportunity!
If you can touch me even a little, what's the harm if sparing you all?"
Tu You's eyes lit up, and he said, "Are you challenging me one-on-one here?"
"Dealing with trash like you, how is there a need for Zhou Yu to take action? If not for the sake of making provisions for contingencies, I wouldn't even bring Zhou Yu here," Zhou Yan said nonchalantly, his words filled with contempt towards the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land.
"You're the one who said it!"
Although Tu You was very displeased with Zhou Yan's disdain, this guy's arrogance gave the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land a chance.
Without the slightest hesitation, Tu You sent a palm straight towards Zhou Yan.
The seemingly ordinary palm encompassed the might of heaven and earth. It was as if the entire world was crushing towards Zhou Yan.
This was a strength of a Dao Profound Realm powerhouse. They did not need to deliberately maneuver heaven and earth essence energy at all. Each and every move encompassed the strength of Heavenly Dao.
In this present era where Divine Dao dwindled to zero, Dao Profound Realm was hailed as the realm closest to Heavenly Dao. Even if it was a First Level Dao Profound, their strength was terrifyingly powerful too.
"Tch, I thought what ultimate move there was. Turns out it's such a move. Wasting this Young Master's time! Break for me!"
Zhou Yan just stood where he was, both eyes glaring. The air in front of Tu You suddenly exploded, emitting extremely scorching power.
Tu You was taken by surprise and hit flying out directly by this attack.
"Puhwark!"
Tu You immediately spewed out a mouthful of blood. The death qi on his body was getting increasingly heavier, virtually possible to lose his life at any moment.
He was originally an expiring lamp without oil already, and he could not maneuver heaven and earth essence energy at all. Forcefully taking action, he already brought out the last trace of vitality.
In his state, even just moving would make vitality flow away, let alone attacking with such great intensity like this.
Even if he could cross this hurdle today, Tu You probably could not survive past half a year either.
