Yue Jianqiu heaved a sigh and said, "How can this Yue not know Yan-er's feelings? It's just that Li-er's temper, you're aware too. Her heart isn't on Yan-er at all. If she's pressed into a corner, she'll go for mutual destruction!"
Zhou Jia shot Yue Jianqiu a glare and snorted coldly. But he also knew that what he said was the truth.
Want to blame, he would have to blame his son for failing to live up to expectations. Being in a favorable position for so many years and could not even obtain Yue Mengli's heart.
Regarding Zhou Yan and Yue Mengli's union, the two families were both happy to see it happen.
Apart from inside the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm, there was actually still another way to obtain the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil, that was the union of an innate Vastsun Flameheart Pupil and an innate Moonlight Heavenly Eye!
For so many years, the Zhou Family and Yue Family very rarely had these two types of innate spirit physique appear before. Even if they did, it also very rarely appeared in the same generation.
No one expected that when it reached this generation, these two types of spirit physiques appeared in the two families at the same time. Hence, Zhou Jia and Yue Jianqiu quickly became partners, wanting to matchmake Zhou Yan and Yue Mengli.
Zhou Yan often came to the Yue Family since young and mingled together with Yue Mengli.
Except, as the two people gradually grew older, Yue Mengli slowly drifted apart from Zhou Yan.
Especially after Yue Mengli saw Qingyun Zi, her heart no longer had room for others as well.
Zhou Yan bitterly pursued Yue Mengli fruitlessly but did not expect that a Ye Yuan would charge out halfway.
With this, Zhou Yan had even less hope.
Actually, the Yue Family doing up this Bright Moon Competition this time, Zhou Jia was rather grateful instead prior to this.
Zhou Yan breaking through to Dao Profound Realm, his Vastsun Flameheart Pupil thoroughly awakened, its power increasing by folds. As long as he obtained the first place, he could marry Yue Mengli back home right and properly.
Regarding Zhuo Bufan, Zhou Jia had actually already planned it out well. He believed that as long as he paid an adequate price, he could absolutely let Zhuo Bufan throw the match.
The final victor would still be Zhou Yan.
But did not expect that a Lin Chao would charge out halfway again!
With this, the two families were put into an awkward situation.
If the one who won, in the end, was some major faction's disciple, Yue Jianqiu would not go so far as to pull such a long face either. But this Lin Chao's origins were unclear. Looking from the strength he displayed, this Divine Martial Hall was bound to be a leviathan.
Towards such an unknown powerful faction, how could Yue Jianqiu not worry? If Lin Chao went on to defeat Ye Yuan, then wouldn't it be pushing his daughter into the fire pit?
"Now that it's come to this, what other options are there still? There's only entrusting hope onto Ye Yuan that brat! It's just that he's only First Level Phaseless Realm. In my view, virtually without any chance of winning! I think you'd best make preparations to renege on your word after that Lin Chao wins! It's just that this way, you'd probably have to offend that Divine Martial Hall!" Zhou Jia thought it over and over and came up with a crappy idea.
The Bright Moon Competition's commotion was blown so big, even the successor of a super holy land was startled. Once reneged, he would incur the ridicule of experts.
"But after Ye Yuan brought Li-er into closed-seclusion, it's already been over ten days. They still haven't exited seclusion till now. Tomorrow … they won't fail to make it in time, right?" Yue Jianqiu said hesitantly.
Zhou Jiao was speechless. The development of affairs seemed to be somewhat deviating awau from their original plan.
"If they really can't, there's only forcefully disrupting their seclusion!" Zhou Jia said.
"No way! What if they are currently at a critical juncture of treatment, wouldn't it ruin an important matter?" Yue Jianqiu said.
The two great family heads discussed about it. In the end, they did not come to a decision either.
...
In the lightning ocean, Ye Yuan and Yue Mengli marched forward hand in hand, and already walked as far as 90 thousand feet!
The radius of the lightning ocean was a distance of 100 thousand feet. There was still 10 thousand feet, and the two of them would be considered to have walked to the end.
If someone was here, they would be able to discover that around Ye Yuan and Yue Mengli, a sacred mass of light halo actually appeared, shining brilliantly. This made them look just like high and mighty divinities.
These violent bolts of lightning, after entering this stretch of light halo, would become incomparably gentle.
"Originally thought that this road is extremely bumpy. Didn't expect that the two of us, you and I, walking over hand in hand, was actually so easy!" Yue Mengli looked at Ye Yuan, her eyes filled with bliss.
Receiving the lightning's baptism these few days, her divine soul strengthened several times. The two divine souls which split apart actually already grew to its original size!
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I also never thought that our two divine souls actually produced a resonance. This strengthened our soul force a hundred times! Even if this lightning ocean wants to cause us harm, it can't do it."
On that day, not long after Ye Yuan and Yue Mengli held hands, facing the lightning's baptism, the two people's hearts linked up in consonance, and their divine souls actually produced a resonance!
As long as the two of them were together, their soul force would magnify a hundred times over!
This way, the lightning's baptism to them became very easy.
Even for Ye Yuan, it was also his first time feeling this sort of magical feeling. He savored it very much.
Yue Mengli said with a slight smile, "If not for Big Brother Yuan disregarding your life and death, helping me to cross the difficult hurdle with your origin power, it probably wouldn't be that easy for the two of us to want to produce divine soul resonance."
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Why make distinctions between you and me?"
Divine soul resonance this sort of thing, although Ye Yuan was aware, the level of difficulty was not an ordinary kind of high.
The two people resonating must be two hearts joined together and know what each other was thinking about, as if they were one body, for it to succeed.
But it was easier said than done to want to reach this step.
Some Dao companions were husband and wife for several thousand years and were unable to achieve this step. The level of difficulty could be imagined.
However, Ye Yuan helped Yue Mengli to divide her divine soul with his origin power previously. The two of their divine souls were actually already in perfect harmony, with no distinctions between each other anymore.
That moment when they held hands, it was as if the two people got shocked by electricity, two divine souls instantly linked up.
That instant, there was you in me, me in you. Nothing else in this world could separate them anymore.
That violent lightning was completely too weak to stand in competition in front of the two people's divine soul resonance.
...
In a twinkle, the finals arrived. But Ye Yuan and Yue Mengli still had not exited seclusion.
Ye Yuan and Lin Chao's battle was anticipated by millions of people. So below the arena, countless martial artists already gathered.
Lin Chao's might, they already saw it. But that mysterious Ye Yuan, just what kind of person he was, they wanted to find out.
It was just that time slowly trickled by, Ye Yuan still did not show up.
On the stage, Lin Chao stood with his hands behind his back. He looked at Yue Jianqiu with a smile and said, "City Lord Your Excellency, two hours have already passed since the start of the match. That Ye Yuan keeps failing to show up. Could it be that … the Yue Family wants to make so many people keep on waiting?"
Chapter 947 - The Lin Chao Who Was Courting Death
Yue Jianqiu was riding a tiger and found it hard to dismount right now. Being squeezed by Lin Chao like this, he really did not know what he should do.
What was certain was that Ye Yuan and Yue Mengli's closed-seclusion definitely encountered some problems.
The perils of dividing the divine soul, how could he, this Divine King powerhouse, not know?
Even if there was the Soul Separating Pill, this process was still incomparably dangerous.
Yet, Ye Yuan was already his last hope!
Initially, towards Ye Yuan, he was half-skeptical as well. But witnessing Ye Yuan's heaven-defying Alchemy Dao strength, Yue Jianqiu still decided to take his chances.
Except, looking at it now, it seemed like problems really occurred.
"If your esteemed self can't wait, you can forfeit your right and leave!" Yue Jianqiu said with a cold snort.
He was at any rate the ruler of a city as well, a Ninth Level Dao Profound Divine King powerhouse. How could he be kneaded by a junior?
Except, Lin Chao did not seem to have the intention of skating over, saying with a faint smile, "This Lin naturally can afford to wait. It's just that Bright Moon City organizing such a grand meet, you got to at least give this Lin a time limit, right? If Ye Yuan doesn't come out for a month, would this Lin have to stand here for a month's time? Furthermore, even if we're determining the loser, it seems like this Lin shouldn't be judged so, right?"
Yue Jianqiu's face turned black. This Lin Chao was not easy to deal with!
Furthermore, this matter was Bright Moon City not taking the side of reason to begin with. Continuing to take it seriously clearly did not have any benefits for the Yue Family.
Just as Yue Jianqiu was caught in a bind, two figures descended from the air.
The two people held hands, just like a pair of immortal lovers.
After the divine soul resonance, Ye Yuan and Yue Mengli being together would give people a sensation of exceptional harmony.
Seeing this scene, Yue Jianqiu could not help being very surprised. Just what in the world happened between the two people during these few days of closed-seclusion?
"Really made me surprised. I didn't expect that my final opponent is actually an old acquaintance!"
While talking, Ye Yuan leaped and went up to the arena.
Truthfully speaking, that moment when Ye Yuan saw Lin Chao, he was very surprised too.
He never would have thought that his final opponent was actually Lin Chao.
Back then, Lin Chao was utterly crippled by Ye Yuan in front of the Tranquil Cloud Sect's gates. Originally, he thought that even if he did not die, he would be wasted too.
Did not think that so many years passed, not only was he not crippled, he already reached peak Phaseless Realm!
The scene just now, Lin Chao took it into his sights too. Not only was he not surprised, but he was also instead incomparably delighted in his heart.
The better Ye Yuan and Yue Mengli's relationship was, wouldn't he be happier breaking them up?
This joy of taking revenge must be very wonderful.
Lin Chao said with a laugh, "Yeah! Just earlier, I even thought that you couldn't come today, and I was very regretful in my heart!"
The two people were beaming from ear to ear. The audience below the stage were all very surprised when they saw the situation. These two incomparably mysterious young geniuses were actually long acquainted.
Looking at the way they were talking, seemed like they were even old friends who had not met for many years.
"Looks like you've prepared very long for the sake this day!" Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile, that appearance had indescribable mockery.
Ye Yuan's smile pricked Lin Chao like a thorn.
His face was still smiling. It was just that the smile became somewhat unnatural: "Yeah, I've waited over ten years for today! Today, I'm going to take back everything I lost!"
Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, "Looks like you're the same as Zhao Tianyin father and son, selling your soul for power. But in front of me, Ye Yuan, even if you sold your soul, what remains, in the end, is also just despair."
Ye Yuan had a bearing that looked down on all life. This sort of bearing deeply wounded Lin Chao's pride.
Even if he, Lin Chao, could think of hundreds of schemes, even if he, Lin Chao's cultivation realm, was above Ye Yuan's, the final outcome was still a tragedy.
Back then, the Purple Mansion Sect bore down upon the borders with a great army, wanting to crush the Tranquil Cloud Sect with absolute strength.
In the end, not only did Ye Yuan rescue all of the captives with his strength alone, he even seriously wounded Lin Chao, nearly causing his death.
This sort of suppression that disregarded ranks simply made people despair.
In truth, he really despaired back then. All of his skills was crippled, his heart was like dead ashes.
But the Divine Martial Hall gave him a second life, letting him cast off his old self and take on a new self, giving him unrivaled strength!
By relying on this strength, he even defeated the successor of the Skypool Celestial Empire!
Ye Yuan was even more of a cinch!
"Heh heh, Ye Yuan, you're still that arrogant! But today's Lin Chao is already not the Lin Chao of yesteryear! Today, not only do I want to trample you underfoot, I even want to snatch away your woman! Let you experience a little what's called true despair!" Lin Chao said with a cold laugh.
Ye Yuan smiled. Lin Chao's words infuriated him.
"Very good, remember the words you said just now!" Ye Yuan said with a broad smile on his face.
To Ye Yuan, his kins were not permitted to be affronted. Now, Lin Chao actually pointed the spearhead at Yue Mengli. His fury was successfully stirred up.
Looking at Ye Yuan's smile, Lin Chao actually felt a chill from the bottom of his heart.
Damn it! What the hell am I afraid of? The present me can even defeat the Skypool Celestial Empire's successor, why would I be afraid of a measly little Ye Yuan? Lin Chao secretly cursed in his heart.
"Provoking Big Brother Yuan like this, that Lin Chao is courting death," beside Yue Jianqiu, Yue Mengli said coolly.
After the divine soul resonance with Ye Yuan, she was deeply affected by Ye Yuan's thoughts as if it was her own. She knew that Ye Yuan was truly enraged.
Yue Jianqiu looked at his daughter, rather surprised. He was uncertain where his daughter's confidence came from.
But starting since just now, Yue Jianqiu discovered that his daughter seemed to be rather different.
At this time, that sort of sickly-paleness on Yue Mengli's face already disappeared thoroughly. That melancholy concealed in dullness also vanished without a trace already.
The current Yue Mengli was elegant and poised, immortal qi lingering, appearing even more otherworldly and unattainable.
One could say that Yue Mengli's entire temperament underwent a qualitative change.
The current Yue Mengli was confident and calm, no longer that former little girl appearance. And her gaze when looking at Ye Yuan was with great tenderness between lovers; clearly still that little girl appearance.
That sort of attitude belonged only to Ye Yuan!
What on earth did Ye Yuan do to his daughter?
"How so?" Yue Jianqiu said.
Yue Mengli smiled and said, "Father, just watch."
"Li-er, Ye Yuan he … really cured you?" Yue Jianqiu said rather uncertainly.
Yue Mengli nodded and said, "Father, the Yue Family won't have to ask people for help anymore in the future as well! Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil, maybe it already really counts for nothing!"
Yue Jianqiu's entire body trembled, looking at Yue Mengli in disbelief.
Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil, was the Zhou and Yue two families' countless generations' pursuit! That was an ocular art capable of achieving Deity Realm! How could it not make people envi
ous?
But now, Yue Mengli actually did not even think anything of the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil!
He naturally knew what Yue Mengli was referring to. Innate Moonlight Heavenly Eye Physique plus the Innate Battle Soul Physique, Yue Mengli would become a peerless powerhouse!
Although the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil was strong, it might not be able to rival the Innate Battle Soul Physique either!
In the Divine Dao Era, innate battle soul physiques, not one was not an existence who roamed the world unhindered.
Chapter 948 - Half-Dragon Physique Rampaging!
"Since Ye Yuan has arrived, then begin!" Yue Jianqiu said coolly.
Rumble!
At virtually the same time, a fierce impact sound echoed out.
Ye Yuan actually unleashed an attack at Lin Chao with a momentum like a sudden peal of thunder which left no time for covering ears!
This punch shocked the grand array until it trembled.
Lin Chao backed up a hundred steps in a row before barely stabilizing his figure. His essence sea churned, the essence energy within his body being thrown into disorder by this punch of Ye Yuan's.
Below the stage, it was dead silent; all stunned by Ye Yuan's punch.
They had seen before with their own eyes how Lin Chao countered Zhou Yan's Vastsun Flameheart Pupil with one punch, sending him flying off the stage.
But right now, Ye Yuan stood on the spot without moving a muscle, while Lin Chao was struck until he fell back a hundred steps.
With this comparison, Ye Yuan was also a bit too strong, right?
Seeing that Ye Yuan was only First Level Phaseless, many people already did not harbor any hopes.
Lin Chao was peak Ninth Level Phaseless Realm, that was how he had the qualifications to have a showdown with Dao Profound Realms. But Ye Yuan was only First Level Phaseless. How to fight like this?
But this punch, it made everyone view him in a completely different light!
For this Ye Yuan to dare challenge the Bright Moon Competition's first place, his strength was indeed daunting!
"Looks like your fleshly body is very powerful. No wonder you were able to defeat those so-called geniuses. However, if it's only to this sort of degree, prepare to get wrecked by me!" Ye Yuan said indifferently.
