"White Light! Parting for years, I didn't expect that you're already the Flowing Light White Tiger Clan's young patriarch!" Ye Yuan laughed loudly, and they hugged each other, leaving Rong Xin out in the cold at one side.
Chapter 977 - Get Lost
After a round of small talk, White Light suddenly said to Rong Xin with a faint smile, "Rong Xin, don't blame me for not warning you, the outcome of provoking my big brother will all be very tragic!"
Rong Xin's heart plunged. He discovered that after White Light saw Ye Yuan, his entire person's spirit, qi, and vitality became different.
How to say it, these few days, although White Light appeared very calm, Rong Xin could detect that hint of restlessness beneath his calm.
White Light had always maintained very restrained for the sake of the Flowing Light White Tiger Clan.
It was impossible for the White Light from before to say such words.
But this sort of restlessness was actually swept away cleanly after he saw Ye Yuan just now!
The current White Light, even when speaking, appeared fully confident.
Rong Xin was perplexed. Just what kind of magic powers did this human race brat have, to actually be able to make White Light undergo such a huge transformation?
Although Ye Yuan's strength earlier gave him a fright, this kind of strength when placed in the White Tiger Clan was clearly inadequate to look at.
The strength of the Four Great Divine Beasts race was not the slightest bit weaker compared to the human domains' super holy lands!
What kind of wave could a Phaseless Realm brat stir up?
Rong Xin smiled and said, "Is that so? The day after tomorrow, the elders council's decision will be coming out. When your candidate qualifications are revoked, I want to see what your big brother will use to make me very tragic! Hahaha …"
Rong Xin left with a burst of loud laughter, but White Light's expression became ugly.
Bai Po's expression changed when he heard that and said, "Young Patriarch, is what Rong Xin said true? This … What's going on here?"
White Light finally let out a long sigh and said, "This isn't the right place to talk. Let's return to the clan first."
White Light brought Ye Yuan and the others returned to the Flowing Light White Tiger Clan's encampment. Along the way, the initial-most excitement from seeing Ye Yuan disappeared at this time.
Ye Yuan did not speak. In his impression, White Light had always been a naive youth. He had never seen before White Light with such a c.u.mbered-with-a-heavy-load side.
One could tell that White Light regarded this young patriarch status very importantly.
Ye Yuan took it into his eyes, but could not help being somewhat moved. That little white tiger in the old days grew up after all!
"Yo, is that our lord young patriarch? Oh, no, wait, there's still two more days, and our Flowing Light White Tiger Clan is going to lose the qualifications to contend as the young patriarch. This, we really have to thank Young Patriarch White Light!"
Upon entering the clan, a voice dripping with sarcasm transmitted into everyone's ears.
A young man dressed in white came out from a corner, his gaze when looking at White Light was filled with enmity.
Bai Po's face fell, and he said, "Bai Hui, can you don't be so sarcastic when you speak? What benefits can you get from Young Patriarch losing his qualification? Without Young Patriarch, with just the likes of you, the Crimsonflame and Suppression Martial two clans probably wouldn't even take one look!"
That Bai Hui's expression changed and he said with a cold snort, "So what? At least, I wouldn't become a laughing stock of the entire White Tiger Clan! Even if I lose, I'll also lose openly and above-board!"
Bai Pai could not help choking up. Even though Bai Hui was jealous of White Light, if White Light's qualifications were really revoked, he would really become a laughing stock of the entire White Tiger Clan.
Ye Yuan looked on indifferently as a bystander, already clear in his heart.
White Light's appearance probably snatched away his title of young patriarch. Therefore, when he saw White Light, he would naturally be sarcastic.
"Big Brother, let's go." White Light's interest somewhat waned, unwilling to argue with Bai Hui.
But Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Bai Hui, is it? You can even lose so righteously and confidently. Your esteemed self's thinking truly takes people's breath away! No wonder the White Tiger Clan declined until this point. Even the junior generation has gone downhill like so, how can it not decline?"
Ye Yuan's words made Bai Hui flush scarlet red with shame.
Even Bai Po felt that he lost face too.
Indeed, right now, the Flowing Light White Tiger Clan's members, quite a number of people had roughly the same thinking as Bai Hui, harboring the idea of muddling along.
If not for White Light's appearance, they would also go and play a supporting role with no qualms of conscious, then be eliminated with their minds at ease and their conscious clear.
"You, a measly little human, what the hell do you know?! The might of the Crimsonflame and Suppression Martial is completely not what you can imagine!" Bai Hui shouted at the top of his voice.
Ye Yuan smiled again and said, "Hence, you feel that being able to stand up there and contend with them for the position of young patriarch is already immense courage, right?"
"I … I don't …"
Bai Hui wanted to deny it very much, but Ye Yuan's words made him have no way of denying at all!
"You don't what? I saw Rong Xin when I entered the territory. You're far too lacking when compared to him! Not talking about cultivation realm strength, just your tolerance and breadth of mind is not on the same level as him! If you represent the Flowing Light White Tiger Clan to go and contend for the position of young patriarch, it will only be more disgraceful!"
Ye Yuan threw Bai Hui's face onto the ground without the least bit of mercy, and conveniently stomped on it a few times.
This period of time, White Light's days in the Flowing Light White Tiger Clan was probably very rough. He reckoned that this Bai Hui had no lack of embarrassing White Light.
Just based on this, Ye Yuan would not let him have an easy time too.
"You … You …" Bai Hui was enraged until smoke billowed from all seven orifices, yet, he just could not find words to refute.
"What about me? Stop making a fool of yourself here, alright? Let me tell you, White Light's qualifications won't be revoked! The position of young patriarch will also definitely be his! As for you, get lost! Let's go!" Ye Yuan said coolly.
"There're still two days, and the elders council's decision will be passed down! I want to see if your boasting is going to reach the skies or not!"
Bai Hui's roar came from behind, but Ye Yuan did not even care.
Arriving at the inner-chamber, White Light showed an ugly smile and said, "I've incurred your ridicule, Big Brother."
Slap!
Ye Yuan suddenly cuffed the back of White Light's head and scolded with a smile, "Rascally brat, what nonsense are you saying? Are you really that little tiger who fears nothing and no one that I know?"
Bai Po was taken aback with fright by this scene, and immediately felt a blast of cold wind at the back of his head too.
Although the time White Light returned to the White Tiger Clan was not long, with the methods and aura he displayed, he already faintly had the imposing air of a sovereign.
If not for dismissing his qualifications this matter, there was actually nobody who dared to question him in the clan anymore.
But Ye Yuan actually treated him like a little kid, directly smacking. Furthermore, Young Patriarch even did not dare to retaliate!
This scene made his eyeballs drop to the ground.
"Hehe … Whitey, with your and Big Brother Yuan's feelings, you still said this sort of words. Isn't it treating us as strangers too much? Don't you worry. With Big Brother Yuan around, this position of young patriarch is definitely yours. I
t can't run away!" Yue Mengli did not talk all along but was tickled by Ye Yuan at this time.
White Light being smacked seemed to have come back to his senses too. He appeared slightly embarrassed as he said with a laugh, "Haha, yeah, when Big Brother isn't around, I feel uneasy all over. The pressure these few days, it was too intense! But Elder Sister Li-er, you called Big Brother Yuan so intimately, do I, this younger brother, have to change my term of address to sister-in-law?"
Being teased by White Light, Yue Mengli's face reddened.
Chapter 978 - White Tiger Dungeon
After a bout of teasing, White Light's emotions finally smoothed over.
In front of Ye Yuan, he recovered to that cheerful and lively White Light again.
Seeing this scene, the Bai Po by the side was endlessly shocked.
White Light came to the Flowing Light Clan for such a long time, he had yet to see such an innocent and pure side of him.
In his impression, White Light had always been a youth who m.a.t.u.r.ed earlier, serious in speech and manner and had well thought out plans.
"Oh, right, why did the elders council suddenly want to cancel your young patriarch candidate qualifications? Even if they have doubts about your identity, it's also not to the extent of being so extreme, right? After all, the divine beast bloodline in you, there's no way of faking it," Ye Yuan dragged the topic back to the subject.
But White Light fell silent. A blush faintly appeared on his face, and he actually became somewhat shy.
When Ye Yuan saw this scene, he could not help being endlessly surprised.
But Bai Po heaved a long sigh and said, "Sigh … No man can resist the charms of a beautiful woman! I didn't expect that Young Patriarch still fell into it."
They were all people who had experienced it. When Ye Yuan and Bai Po saw this scene, how could they still not understand what happened?
"Huhu, I didn't think that our family's White Light actually had his first awakening of love too! It's just, who's that lady? To actually implicate your White Tiger Clan's struggle for young patriarch?" Ye Yuan said curiously.
Being teased by Ye Yuan, White Light's face became even redder like an apple. But he still let out a sigh and said, "I also know that I shouldn't, but … I couldn't control my feelings! That girl is from the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan. Our White Tiger Clan and the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan are mortal enemies. This matter was found out by God knows who. It was disclosed to the elders council, making the elders come to a decision and want to revoke my candidate rights."
The moment Ye Yuan heard, he was unbelievably astonished. White Light actually fell in love with the enemy. No wonder the elders council would be enraged and wanted to revoke his candidate rights.
Adding in White Light's identity, which left questions unanswered, it would be weird if the elders council did not have any expression!
Such an incident occurring, it was already a miracle that White Light could still have freedom.
Bai Po let out a sigh too and said, "These few years, Young Patriarch performed deeds of valor in many battles for the White Tiger Clan. That's why an exception was made for him to become a candidate for young patriarch. If not for this, the elders council likely would not stop at revoking his rights so simple."
Ye Yuan was not clear about the White Tiger Clan's matters, but he knew that the White Tiger Clan and the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan were mortal foes.
Both parties mutually went on punitive expeditions that had already lasted for no idea how many tens of thousands of years.
White Light actually fell for a woman from the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan. This sort of thing absolutely could not be forgiven.
Ye Yuan did not speak. He just lightly drummed the table using his finger, emitting a rhythmic sound.
When everyone saw the situation, they knew that Ye Yuan was thinking, and could not help holding their breaths, not daring to disturb Ye Yuan.
After some time, Ye Yuan suddenly opened his mouth, "Where is that girl now?"
White Light's expression dimmed, and he said, "I originally hid her in the territory of the Flowing Light Clan. But this matter was found out by don't know who. Now, she's already imprisoned inside the totem territory. The clan has already issued the decree, the moment the elders council's decision is out the day after tomorrow, they will be sentencing her to death!
White Light clenched his fists tightly, kneading his own bones until it creaked. Ye Yuan knew that he was definitely struggling endlessly inside his heart. If according to White Light's temper in the past, he would definitely have not been able to hold back long ago and went into the dungeons to rescue her.
But now, he was shouldering the duty of the Flowing Light Clan on him. This was like a shackle, making White Light unable to keep his hands and feet unfettered.
Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "This matter is somewhat fishy. Might have to find a breakthrough point from this girl. Looks like we have to make a trip into the dungeon."
White Light said with difficulty, "But the dungeons are heavily guarded. The clan has already strictly ordered me to not enter the dungeon to visit Xiao-er."
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "How can this small matter stump your big brother? You just have to tell me the location of the dungeon. I naturally have ways to go in."
...
At midnight, inside the White Tiger Clan's dungeons, there was suddenly a subtle ripple in space. A figure directly walked out from within the void.
This White Tiger Clan's dungeons were indeed heavily guarded. Even underground also had array formations protecting, in order to prevent convicts from escaping.
But this was nothing to the Ye Yuan who comprehended Heaven Man Unity.
Heaven Man Unity Realm already touched the source of Great Dao. Mere array formations could not hinder Ye Yuan's footsteps at all.
Ye Yuan's figure had just appeared and several terrifying auras locked onto him!
Clearly, his appearance shattered the deathly stillness of the dungeons.
"Heaven Man Unity, merging into heaven and earth! Fine lad, to actually have such heaven and earth cultivation at a young age!" An icy-cold voice transmitted over as if coming from underworld.
Ye Yuan could feel that when this voice appeared, the other few auras withdrew like tidewater, as if they had never appeared before at all.
"I'm flattered. I'm here to look for someone. You guys carry on sleeping. Don't come and interrupt this young master," Ye Yuan said coolly.
"Hahaha, what an arrogant boy! However, you indeed have the capital to be arrogant! This old man has lived for several tens of thousands of years and wasn't able to reach Heaven Man Unity Realm either. I really have no idea how you cultivate! Boy, let us make a deal." That icy-cold voice suddenly changed his tone.
Ye Yuan said coolly, "Not interested. Go to one side and play, don't hinder this young master from handling matters!"
Ye Yuan knew that this person's cultivation was bound to be exceedingly high. But he also knew that inside this dungeon had terrifying restrictive powers.
These guys looked scary, but it was all scaring people.
"Humph! Refusing a toast only to drink to a forfeit! Do you really think that this old man can do nothing to you?"
Suddenly, a terrifying aura transmitted out from the depths of the dungeon. A colossal soul force actually directly ignored the restrictions and unleashed an attack at Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan just chuckled coldly but did not even move a muscle.
Using a divine soul attack to deal with him, this was purely seeking death himself!
"ARGH!!"
Indeed, a miserable cry transmitted over.
That divine soul attack came quickly, and left even quicker!
Under this one attack, the other party already sustained considerable injuries.
It was also fortunate that the restrictions could cut off most of the soul force. Otherwise, at this time, the other party would not be able to avoid the outcome of his soul dissipating.
With this, Ye Yuan distinctly sensed that the atmosphere inside the dungeons became somewhat different.
Originally, when the rest saw that Ye Yuan was so arrogant, they all gloated over his misfortune.
But at this time, inside each and every cell, waves of uneasiness were transmitted out distinctly.
Ye Yuan laughed and said, "Being well-behaved now? Who knows how many years you have been suppressed, you still want to come out and posture! Serves you right!"
"Boy, who the hell are you? With your cultivation realm, how can you possibly block my divine soul attack?"
That icy-cold voice sounded out again but had clearly weakened a lot. Very clearly, that attack earlier made him feel very awful.
"Ao Qian, you punk really made progress! To actually muddle into the White Tiger Clan's dungeon!" Right then, Long Teng's voice suddenly sounded out.
Chapter 979 - Bring You All Out
"You … Who are you?! To actually know this seat's name!"
Ao Qian's shock was by no means insignificant. He had already been locked up in the White Tiger Dungeon for no idea how many years. There was actually still someone who recognized him.
Furthermore, most of the overtone in Long Teng's words was ridicule, with somewhat the hint of looking down from high above.
"This seat? Huhu, you punk, really showing no respect for your elders! In front of me, you actually dare to proclaim to be this seat too!"
Long Teng's voice sounded out nonchalantly but exuded limitless awe.
"Don't play tricks in front of me, Ao Qian! Who the hell are you?!" Ao Qian was a peerless powerhouse of his generation too. How could he be intimidated by one sentence?
"You had no lack of suffering this seat's Dragon Tempering Whip back then. Why did you … forget it all now?" Long Teng said coolly.
"You … You are …"
Ao Qian's expression could not be seen, but Ye Yuan knew that the expression on his face currently must be very fascinating.
Ye Yuan also did not think that casually taking a trip into a dungeon, Long Teng could even bump into an old acquaintance.
