Receiving this blow, Tu You's expression changed dramatically and he said, "It's actually an ocular art, furthermore, the power of flames. You … You're people of Vastsun City!"
"What?! They are actually Great Xiang Region's Vastsun City's people! That's a Rank One Holy Land!"
"This … Isn't Young Lord an ascender? How did he provoke Vastsun City, this kind of leviathan?"
"It's over, this time! It's utterly over! With Vastsun City's strength, we wouldn't even be sufficient to fill the gaps between their teeth! No wonder this youth is so arrogant. Turns out that he really has the capital to be arrogant!"
Great Xiang Region's Vastsun City and Bright Moon City were too distinguishable; both renowned throughout the Divine Realm for rarely seen ocular arts. Practically no one did not know these two great cities.
In front of a Rank One Holy Land like this, Crimson Afterglow was completely lacking.
"Heh heh, you old man's strength is lacking, but you have some experience and knowledge. That's right, we came precisely from Vastsun City. If you don't want Crimson Afterglow Holy Land's Dao teachings to be eradicated, I advise that you guys better hand Ye Yuan over!" Zhou Yan said smugly.
Tu You shook his head and said, "Ye Yuan he really isn't in the holy land. Forgive this old man for not being able to hand him over!"
Zhou Yan's expression turned cold, and he said in a solemn voice, "Humph! Refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit! Looks like you want to use the entire Crimson Afterglow to be buried together with him! Forget it, this Young Master will fulfill your wishes!"
At this point, Tu You did not have any more thoughts of getting lucky either.
Although he did not know how Ye Yuan offended Zhou Yan, Zhou Yan's hatred towards Ye Yuan, he could feel it distinctly.
This grievance of Zhou Yan's was probably not that easy to resolve.
"Crimson Afterglow's people listen up! Today, Crimson Afterglow has encountered a foreign enemy! This old man beseeches everybody in the name of the Holy Lord; unity of will is like a fortress, repel the foreign enemy!" Tu You suddenly said to everyone in a clear voice.
This shout was to have a last-ditch battle.
For so many years, Tu You managed Crimson Afterglow firmly like a metal bucket. Even though he had not shown face for many years, his prestige was still there.
Adding in Zhou Yan's merciless tone, everyone was already long aware in their hearts that there was no way to escape by sheer luck. So they flashed their weapons one after another, planning on taking a final plunge.
Seeing this kind of situation, Zhou Yan's expression was as dark as water. He did not expect that this lousy Rank Nine Holy Land would actually rather the whole army be completely annihilated and also not be willing to hand over a young lord who had just ascended not long ago.
What capabilities did Ye Yuan have? Why did everyone all want to revolve around him?
The present Zhou Yan was already on the brink of rampaging. He snapped, "A bunch of thick-headed things! Since you guys are seeking death, then this Young Master will send you on your way! Zhou Yu, kill for me! Don't leave even a fragment of armor behind!"
"Yes, Young Master!"
After Zhou Yu voiced his assent, a powerful pressure instantly enveloped the entire holy land.
Third Level Dao Profound strength was exhibited without holding back in the slightest.
"Mighty Heaven Vastsun Palm!"
Zhou Yu stood in the air and smacked a palm down. Only to see an enormous palm formed from flames slap downwards directly.
This enormous palm was seemingly an apocalyptic divine palm to Crimson Afterglow. That horrifying energy undulation made everyone give up all hope within.
Chapter 847 - Disaster Is Brought About by Careless Talk
Dao Profound Realm; one realm, one world.
Zhou Yu's Third Level Dao Profound was more than a level stronger compared to Tu You's First Level Dao Profound.
It was nothing difficult for one Zhou Yu to sweep across the entire White Valiant Region.
Furthermore, Vastsun City's martial techniques were all fire-attribute martial techniques with extremely powerful destructive powers.
This Mighty Heaven Vastsun Palm being unleashed was truly akin to an apocalyptic palm.
If this palm landed, there was bound to be countless casualties.
Tu You shut his eyes painfully, not daring to look at the subsequent scene.
The disparity was too great. Disregarding that he was already a dying lamp without oil now, even when he was at his prime, he was worlds apart from Zhou Yu too.
Zhou Yan looked at the ants below the enormous palm with a cold smile, feeling delighted inwardly.
"To dare oppose this Young Master, this is your outcome!"
Just as he was going to see the flesh and blood of everyone under the huge palm flying in all directions, his eyes suddenly became wide circles!
That enormous palm actually gradually became faint under his eyes, finally dissipating into nothing!
Zhou Yan's expression changed, and he swiveled his head in four directions as he said, "Who's sneaking around furtively? Scram out here for this Young Master!"
Slap!
A hand slapped over from inside the void, directly hitting Zhou Yan until he somersaulted in the air.
"To dare speak impertinently to this Seat, is this how Zhou Jia taught you?"
A cold voice sounded out, able to let people discern that there was that hint of sullen anger in his words.
Zhou Yan flew out 10 thousand feet away in the air before barely managing to stabilize his figure. Reaching his hand towards his face and touching, he discovered that his face was clearly already badly swollen.
Although he clearly knew that the other party already showed mercy, his fury still towered into the clouds.
Since the other party knew to pull his punches, that meant he was wary of Vastsun City. Since that was the case, what was he still afraid of?
"Insolent thing! To actually dare attack this Young Master! I think that you're tired of …"
Zhou Yan's words had yet to finish when Zhou Yu arrived at his side with a flash and hurriedly covered his mouth up.
"Young Master, this person's strength is unfathomable! This subordinate is absolutely not a match! We mustn't readily provoke!" Zhou Yu hurriedly said.
A disaster was brought about from careless talk. This mysterious person concealed within the void, he could not discern his position at all. That slap earlier, he completely did not know how the other party took action.
This level of strength, Zhou Yu knew that he absolutely could not afford to provoke.
Moreover, the other party said Zhou Jia's name the moment he opened his mouth. He was probably at least a character on the same level as Family Head too.
Zhou Yan was burning with rage at this time, how could he still listen?
He exerted his strength to shake off Zhou Yu's hand and roared, "What are you scared of? I don't believe that there's really someone who dares to kill Vastsun City's Young Lord today! Cowardly rat, listen up for this Young Master, if you don't kill this Young Master today, you're a wuss!"
When that person within the void heard this, he fell silent.
Zhou Yan even thought that the other party was scared and laughed even more unbridled as he said, "Hahaha! I knew you don't have the guts! Really a pansy! If you don't dare to make a move, then get lost quickly for this father of yours!"
Zhou Yan was looking at the side, wishing that he could go up and beat Zhou Yan down. This Young Master was too ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth!
In this Divine Realm, although forces stronger than Vastsun City were not many, they were not few either!
This person hidden in the void was definitely an expert of a region. Even if he really was somewhat apprehensive of Vastsun City, he might really harden his heart and kill after hearing these words.
At that time, who would he find to reason things out?
All of a sudden,
Zhou Yan's words were directly stuck at his throat, his pair of eyes becoming round as balls.
At this instant, it was as if his heart had stopped. An immense sense of danger hovered around him.
Zhou Yan's entire person was bound up by some kind of inexplicable energy. He could not even breathe!
He did not doubt in the slightest that as long as the other party was willing, he could kill him at any time.
Zhou Yu's expression changed drastically by the side. He was clearly standing by Zhou Yan's side, but he was completely unable to get rid of the shackling forces in this space!
This person's strength was too terrifying!
In his desperation, Zhou Yu directly knelt down in the air and said with clasped hands, "Senior, please calm your anger! My family's young master is young and ignorant, and he offended Senior! Zhou Yu offers an apology to you on his behalf! Senior, please let my family's young master off on account of Family Head!"
"Humph! If not for this seat having some friendship with Zhou Jia, with his words, this Seat would definitely exterminate your Vastsun City!" the person in the void said with a cold snort.
Hearing these words, Zhou Yu's expression changed greatly. Looks like they provoked a terrifying existence today.
From the other party's tone, one could discern that he did not attach any importance to Vastsun City at all.
Zhou Yan even provoked him like that. What difference was there from seeking death?
"Senior, please calm your anger." Zhou Yu had no means and could only kowtow vigorously.
"You, a retainer, are somewhat loyal. But he offended this Seat. The death penalty can be spared, but it's hard to escape punishment!"
The moment his voice faded, it was as if Zhou Yan suffered some kind of heavy blow. His entire person suddenly convulsed, then he toppled down stiffly.
Zhou Yu turned pale with fright and hurriedly supported Zhou Yan.
"Senior, this …"
"Get lost! If Zhou Jia feels like challenging me, let him come find me!" said the person in the void as he snorted coldly.
Zhou Yu's expression changed, and he fled, carrying Zhou Yan at a splitting pace.
The Crimson Afterglow Holy Land's people were long dazed from watching. This mysterious person's strength was simply powerful until it made people's hair stand on end!
Hearing the other party's tone, he did not even place the Rank One Holy Land, Vastsun City, in his sights!
It was just that all of them were rather curious why this mysterious person would take action to save the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land.
Seeing Zhou Yu retreat, Tu You hurriedly brought Chen Qin and the rest to prostrate themselves on the ground towards the void and said, "Tu You represents everyone in the Crimson Afterglow to give thanks for Senior's life-saving grace! If Senior has any instruction, feel free to instruct us!"
Tu You was a clever man too. The other party definitely would not take action to help the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land for no reason at all.
This kind of existence, the Crimson Afterglow would not enter the other party's arcane sights at all.
That person in the void was silent for a moment, then he suddenly opened his mouth and said, "You're on the verge of dying and can at most only live for half a year's time. Looks like that guy finding me to refine the Nine-Yang Spring Restoring Pill was probably in order to refine for you. Take it. Consuming this pill, it will naturally help you to extend your longevity by 300 years."
A medicinal pill flew out from within the void and arrived right in front of Tu You.
Tu You was actually somewhat absent-minded for a moment as he held this medicinal pill.
Nine-Yang Spring Restoring Pill, this was the Nine-Yang Spring Restoring Pill!
What kind of character would actually refine such a heaven-defying medicinal pill for him?
This mysterious person in front of him was definitely at the Divine King Realm without any doubt. But what kind of person could request the other party to refine such a Tier 9 medicinal pill?
Tu You was very clear that this Nine-Yang Spring Restoring Pill, even ordinary alchemy emperors could not refine it either.
To be able to refine it, they were all characters who had reached the peak of perfection in alchemy.
Chen Qin saw Tu You in a daze and promptly nudged him a bit.
Tu You came back to his sense and hurriedly knelt down to give thanks, "Senior's great kindness, Tu You will never forget it!"
"No need to thank me. Better thank that boy called Ye Yuan. For me to refine this pill on his behalf is also considered returning him a favor. Forget it, looks like he really isn't here. Since there's no luck to meet today, I'll save it for the future."
When these words were said, there was no longer any sound in the void. That mysterious person clearly left already.
Chapter 848 - One Year
In the holy hall, all of the Crimson Afterglow's elders were shockingly present.
Inside the holy hall at present was dead silent. Each and every one of them did not know how to start talking.
Too many things happened today. Everyone had yet to digest it.
Finally, it was still Tu You who was the first to speak up.
"Gentlemen, these few years, this Emperor was also compelled against my will to linger on with my final breath of life until today. It's just that didn't expect Ye Yuan could actually invite such a major power to specially refine a Nine-Yang Spring Restoring Pill for this Emperor. Honestly speaking, I don't know what to say right now as well."
Tu You was indeed very complicated in his heart. His original intent was to groom Ye Yuan to take over.
But little did he think that Ye Yuan actually secretly requested that level of existence to refine the Nine-Yang Spring Restoring Pill, this kind of heaven-defying medicinal pill, for him.
This favor was owed too great.
Even throwing in the entire Crimson Afterglow Holy Land could not match this medicinal pill's value either!
Ye Yuan was clearly just a Lower Realm martial artist who had ascended not long ago. His cultivation realm was merely Boundless Realm. But he actually had enemies like the Vastsun City and also had friends like that mysterious person.
This level of connections was completely not what a Rank Nine Holy Land like the Crimson Afterglow could stick a foot in.
Putting aside that Zhou Yan only brought along Zhou Yu, even if Zhou Yan came by himself, eradicating the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land was also plenty to spare.
Dao Profound versus Phaseless indeed had an overwhelming advantage.
But this kind of advantage was not absolute.
To Zhou Yan, this level of genius, he could rely on powerful concepts comprehension to heaven-defyingly defeat a First Level Dao Profound.
Moreover, the Vastsun Flameheart Pupil, this kind of ocular art's lethality was extremely formidable. Crossing realms to battle was even more like having a common meal.
These made Ye Yuan's identity become even more mysterious.
Making Ye Yuan become the Crimson Afterglow's Young Lord seemed to have become a joke. Because Ye Yuan was someone on a completely different level from them.
When Chen Qin saw the situation, he hastily said the reason for Tu You's great loss in longevity. Everyone felt lingering fear after hearing it too.
But after Wu Siyuan heard it, his expression changed drastically and said, "Holy Followers! We ran into two very powerful opponents in the boneyard! They called themselves Holy Followers!"
Tu You's expression changed. He did not think that such an incident even happened before in the boneyard.
After Wu Siyuan returned, he always had carefully avoided mentioning the boneyard matters. This was still his first time opening his mouth to mention about the matters that happened underground.
It was just that Tu You never thought that Wu Siyuan actually ran into Holy Followers at the boneyard. Furthermore, it was two at once!
"What?! You guys ran into two Holy Followers? No wonder
the casualties were so severe! It's just that … those Holy Followers all had extremely formidable strength, you guys … how did you guys escape?" Tu You said in puzzlement.
He himself had exchanged blows with a Holy Follower before and was naturally aware of a Holy Follower's prowess.
If not for the Crimson Afterglow's forbidden art being powerful, he would have long been killed by the other party already. Even so, Tu You still lost the Crimson Afterglow's most valuable treasure before considering it spending money to get rid of a calamity.
"This … They … They were killed by Ye Yuan!" Wu Siyuan ruminated for a moment before saying.
"What did you say?! The … The two Holy Follower were both killed by Ye Yuan? How is that possible?" Tu You said in disbelief.
"Holy Lord, the specific circ.u.mstances, I can't tell you. Otherwise, the entire Crimson Afterglow might suffer a disastrous calamity," Wu Siyuan said with a frown.
That black-clothed person's might, he witnessed it with his own eyes. A pagoda slaying two holy follower experts. Too powerful!
Long Teng's warning was still ringing in his ears. If this matter was divulged, Long Teng might really do away with witnesses to prevent divulgence of one's secrets. Even the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land was out of the question!
Tu You's expression turned apprehensive. The matters that happened in the boneyard was clearly even more complicated than he imagined. He nodded his head straight away and said, "Forget it, this Emperor won't make things difficult for you either. Hopefully, Ye Yuan will be blessed by heaven and can return safe and sound."
...
A year's time passed in a twinkle. But to Ye Yuan, it was an extremely drawn-out process.
He felt like he had a very, very long dream. He walked in the dark, walked and walked, but forever could not walk to the end.
"Where am I? Seems like … my divine soul is being restrained? My divine soul was clearly already torn to shreds by Fiendgod Jia Lan. Why is it still well right now? Could it be … I'm already dead?" Ye Yuan muttered to himself.
This question, he thought for very long in this dark space but failed to find an answer.
