Ye Yuan's simple few sentences shocked everyone to the core.
Even more shocked was White Light. He did not think that Fang Xiao actually intentionally approached him. No idea why, his heart suddenly winced in pain, like it was hurt by something.
Apart from Rong Ze, Ye Yuan still brought another person. And the other person was none other than precisely that Bai Hui's father!
The moment Rong Xin heard, he said in a stern voice, "Ye Yuan, you're slandering venomously! Just based on a one-sided statement, you want to reverse the verdict on White Light's behalf?"
"Rong Xin, hold your horses. This matter is of utmost importance. If in the end, it's proven that Ye Yuan is spouting nonsense, this seat will naturally return you justice."
Done talking, Rong Kun turned to Ye Yuan again and asked, "Junior, you can't make unfounded charges here. Do you have proof?"
Ye Yuan smiled slightly. Fl.i.c.k.i.n.g his sleeves grandly, a miniature array formation appeared before everyone.
Rong Kun's pupils constricted, and he said in astonishment, "Moving an array formation! Junior, what formidable means!"
Moving an array formation was a very profound method in the formations path. One could set up a set of array formation beforehand, then store it inside a spatial magic artifact.
When one required it, they could directly summon it from inside the spatial magic artifact, instantly forming an array.
Although this miniature array formation before them was small, it was a Tier 9 array formation. Want to move it over, one must have the strength of a formations emperor.
Ye Yuan was merely Phaseless Realm boundary, and he was actually able to transport a Tier 9 array formation. It was also no wonder that Rong Kun was shocked.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Head Elder is too kind. Just an insignificant skill. This array formation was discovered beneath the earth of Rong Ze's house. I found it and conveniently transported him over."
Rong Xin said with a cold smile, "Just a communications array formation, what can it ill.u.s.trate? You casually set up an array formation yourself, then transport it over, who would know?"
This miniature array formation was a communications array formation. It was specifically used for transmitting messages, which was very convenient.
If Rong Ze really secretly colluded with the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan, using this set of array formation to transmit messages was not an impossibility.
It was just that even if this sort of thing was transported over, it did not have much persuasiveness either. After all, Ye Yuan could set up an array formation himself, then transport it over.
"Ye Yuan, you aren't thinking of making the elders convict Rong Ze's crime by relying on a communications array formation that was transported over, right?" Rong Yin also said somberly.
Ye Yuan said with a smile, "The array formation can be faked, but the messages inside the array formation can't be faked! Isn't that so, you guys?"
Rong Yin's expression changed when he heard that and said, "You … You're able to recover the contents of the communications array formation? This … This is impossible!"
Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "I think I should be able to do it."
Hearing Ye Yuan's words, Bai Jue they all roused their spirits up! While Rong Yin they all were taken aback with shock, if he really could recover the communication contents, then the problem would be blown up.
Ye Yuan did not hesitate either, both hands reaching out like phantoms, and started to handle the communications array formation.
Everyone all held their breaths, staring fixedly at the communications array formation.
Some people looked forward to some contents appearing on the communications array formation, while others did not hope for those contents to appear.
But there was one thing, everyone's hearts were all pounding away.
Roughly 15 minutes later, the communications array formation suddenly lit up, and a row of words actually appeared!
"The fish has already swallowed the bait, thanks again in the future! Ze!" This should be the last transmitted message.
Rong Xin's heart suddenly jolted, his entire person seemingly being drained. His two eyes were vacant and at a loss, plopping his bottom back onto the chair.
At this moment, the atmosphere inside the great hall seemed exceedingly stifling.
However, Ye Yuan's actions had not ended yet. Very soon, a second message appeared on the array formation.
"Eliminating in the name of collusion, daughter Fang Xiao is already on the way! Ninehills!" This was clearly the message sent back by that Elder Ling Ninehills.
Following that messages after messages appeared on the array formation.
The further back it went, the uglier the expressions on everyone's faces.
Especially Rong Kun and the others sitting on the left-hand side. Their faces were grim until it could almost drip water.
Toward the back, the messages displayed on the communications array formation was already not related to White Light. Among them, apart from some normal communications, there were even quite a number of the White Tiger Clan's secrets!
Seeing these messages, how these elders felt could also be imagined.
Bang!
A table in front of Head Elder virtually turned to dust instantaneously.
"Enough!" Rong Kun said fiercely.
Ye Yuan knew that the fire was about ready. Hence, he stopped casting his spell. The light on the communications array formation abruptly dissipated.
"Impossible! Impossible! This is impossible!"
Rong Xin repeated over and over again, batted out of his wits. He did not think that his facther actually went to collude with the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan for him!
"Ye Yuan! It must be a trick you played! These messages were definitely all fabricated by you! Right, this was cooked up by you!" Rong Xin suddenly jumped up, as if he had discovered a new continent.
This matter, Rong Xin himself was also kept in the dark. Right now, he was completely unable to accept such a fact.
Therefore, what he could think of was that Ye Yuan was cheating!
"Enough! Rong Xin, do you feel that we, these old fellows, are all blind?" Rong Kun's icy-cold tone made Rong Xin feel as if he fell into an ice cellar.
Chapter 982 - Displaying Strength
These divine king experts of the elders council were not ordinary powerhouses.
Their strength was unfathomable. Moreover, they lived to a ripe old age, and their experiences were out of the ordinary.
Unless Ye Yuan's Formations Dao level reached Deity Realm, otherwise, it was absolutely impossible to cheat under their noses.
Rong Xin already lost his composure at this time and actually slandered Ye Yuan for cheating. Didn't it imply the group of elders to be fools?
"Head Elder, this …"
Rong Yin was also dumbfounded by this scene. He never would have thought that such a drama-like change would occur to the matter in the end, and actually did not know what to say for a moment.
Rong Kun was worthy of being the head elder. He already calmed down at this time. Slightly heaving a sigh, he said to Rong Yin, "You bring Rong Xin back and watch over closely. As for Rong Ze and Bai Xu, throw the two of them into the dungeons first and guard closely. The disciplinary hall will be in charge of this matter. This matter will have to trouble you. You must interrogate and get to the bottom of it!"
The Wu Xin on the left-hand side of Rong Kun nodded and said, "Rest assured, Head Elder!"
Only after Rong Ze and Bai Xu were brought away, and Rong Yin left dejectedly too, did the group of patriarchs abruptly startled awake.
The events that occurred today were simply too dramatic. They were clearly going to revoke White Light's candidate rights, but why did it become the Crimsonflame Clan having secret communications with the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan all of a sudden?
These branch patriarchs all looked at Ye Yuan with looks of astonishment written all over their fa
ces.
This young man actually overturned the raging tides at the last moment!
"All disperse!" Head Elder's dignified voice sounded out. Everyone also did not dare to remain here, taking their leave one after another and leaving.
While at this time, White Light did not have the slightest joy of post-victory. Instead, his entire person was in low-spirits. Clearly, the blow of Fang Xiao's matter to him was very great.
In the end, White Light was merely still a youth.
He was different from Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan was someone who had experienced a lifetime before. His mentality was much more m.a.t.u.r.e compared to White Light.
"Let's go, maybe this matter isn't as terrible as you imagine." Ye Yuan patted his shoulder and consoled.
White Light smiled bitterly and said, "Don't need to console me anymore, Big Brother."
Ye Yuan smiled but did not say anything. At this time, the more one said, the more it would make people feel hurt.
The two people were just about to leave, but Head Elder spoke up, "Ye Yuan, please wait."
Ye Yuan stopped his footsteps and said with a smile, "Head Elder stopping me, it isn't to punish me for the crime of treating the White Tiger Clan with contempt, right?"
Ye Yuan checkmated first. Head Elder could only chuckle and said, "Things happen for a reason. This seat naturally isn't that sort of narrow-minded person. This matter, this seat represents the White Tiger Clan to thank you instead. Count it as this seat owing you a favor. Two malignant tumors inside the clan, something major would happen sooner or later!"
Ye Yuan snickered in his heart. This old man was actually playing word games with him.
Him owing a favor and the White Tiger Clan owing a favor, these two were completely different.
However, even a favor of Rong Kun's was still a priceless treasure.
Such a powerhouse was naturally not as powerful as the Ten Great Divine Kings. But his strength was also exceedingly terrifying.
But Ye Yuan randomly stumbled upon and dug out the White Tiger Clan's malignant tumors in order to save White Light this time. It was also considered an unexpected harvest.
This one day's time tired Ye Yuan out badly.
Consecutively utilizing Heaven Man Unity and the power of the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil virtually squeezed him dry.
One had to know that even though Rong Ze and Bai Xu were not Divine King experts, they were late-stage Dao Profound Realm powerhouses too.
If it was made public, it would be impossible for him to want to bring the people away, let alone talk about catching any proof.
Ye Yuan could only bring the two of them away silently to not cause a disturbance.
In between this naturally borrowed Ruan Shuangzhou's power. But the exhaustion of the terrifying illusionary realm which he f.o.r.c.i.b.l.y activated the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil to lay down was also tremendous.
Deploying the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil with Ye Yuan's present strength, the burden on the body was immense. Especially dealing with Rong Ze and Bai Xu, this kind of powerhouses, it virtually depleted his soul force and essence energy.
That was also just Ye Yuan. If it were others, even if they obtained the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil, they would also be squeezed dry instantly.
This was also why the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil would choose Ye Yuan to be the host.
"Haha, a favor from Head Elder can't be exchanged for a thousand pieces of gold! Then, this Ye won't be courteous," Ye Yuan clasped his hands and said with a laugh.
Head Elder waved his hand, but his expression darkened as he said, "Your move earlier, probably only a peak formation emperor would have such strength! Furthermore, you were able to capture Rong Ze and Bai Xu here without making a scene. This isn't what the average person can do! Also, that divine king should be your servant, right? Your level of strength, this seat feels rather concerned!"
Rong Kun was shrewd with age. Other people were all astonished by Ye Yuan's methods, but he saw Ye Yuan's extraordinary aspects.
Other people would underestimate Ye Yuan because of his cultivation realm, thinking that he was harmless to man and beast. But Head Elder knew that Ye Yuan was absolutely not as simple as he displayed just by looking at the things he saw before his eyes.
Leaving such a human in the White Tiger Clan, he had no choice but to guard against.
These words he kept Ye Yuan behind to say was actually warning Ye Yuan, making Ye Yuan rein it in a little.
Ye Yuan was perfectly clear. Probably after this, he would be in for the White Tiger Clan's surveillance.
But … so what?
Someone able to keep watch on him had not been born yet!
Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, "Head Elder is worrying too much! White Light and I accompanied each other along the way. One can say that he was raised by me. His clansmen are my, Ye Yuan's, clansmen! As long as White Light is still in the White Tiger Clan, I, Ye Yuan, will forever be the White Tiger Clan's friend!"
Rong Kun could not help choking up when he heard that. This punk actually turned around to threaten him.
Ye Yuan's words had a hidden meaning. He, Ye Yuan, would not do things detrimental to the White Tiger Clan. Of course, the prerequisite was that the White Tiger Clan was good to White Light.
If someone was detrimental toward White Light, he, Ye Yuan would eliminate the other party without the slightest hesitation too!
If it were other people, they would only just brush it over with a laugh towards a threat like this.
But after Rong Kun witnessed Ye Yuan's means, although he did not think that he posed any threat to the White Tiger Clan, this kind of opponent would absolutely give people a painful headache.
"Huhu, then this seat hopes that we can keep on being friends," Rong Kun suddenly chuckled and said.
"Haha, of course, of course!" Ye Yuan took his leave with a loud laugh, bringing White Light together and leaving.
After Ye Yuan left, Wu Xin came beside Rong Kun and said solemnly, "This child is presumptuous!"
This Wu Xin seemed to be a man of few words. But these four words already expressed his disp.l.e.a.s.u.r.e towards Ye Yuan.
Head Elder chuckled, but asked the other one, "What do you think, Bai Yi?"
Bai Yi stroked his beard and laughed as he said, "Immeasurable!"
Rong Kun nodded his head and said, "This boy is indeed presumptuous. However … he truly has the capital to be arrogant! What he did today, even you and I are also unable to do it to such a flawless degree! I think he might be deliberately displaying his strength to us, so as to make us attach importance to Little Light. If there's a possibility, best to not become enemies with this child as far as possible."
Chapter 983 - Infiltrating
Inside the White Tiger Dungeon, White Light looked at that delicate and sweet image, his heart in immense pain.
"Big Brother Light, do it."
Fang Xiao closed her eyes painfully, two rows of clear tears falling down from the corners of her eyes.
Fang Xiao accepting it so readily caught White Light somewhat by surprise. Looking at her appearance, it seemed like she already had a realization long ago.
White Light's heart jolted fiercely, and he said in a trembling voice, "Don't you plan on explaining a little?"
Fang Xiao shook her head lightly and did not speak.
White Light's face turned grim, and he said coldly, "Fine. Since that's the case, I'll send you off personally!"
White Light hardened his heart and suddenly reached out, grabbing towards Fang Xiao's throat.
All of a sudden, the space rippled. A figure appeared out of thin air, intercepting this grab of White Light.
"Big Brother! What are you doing?" White Light said in confusion.
Ye Yuan said smilingly, "I already said, maybe the matter isn't as terrible as you imagine. Isn't that so, Miss Fang Xiao?"
Fang Xiao slowly opened her eyes, her gaze when looking at Ye Yuan was filled with fear.
Two days ago, i
t was precisely this man who suddenly appeared inside the dungeons. Then, she disclosed everything that she knew in its entirety and did not have the slightest strength leftover to resist.
Seeing Ye Yuan question, Fang Xiao turned her head over and said, "I don't know what you're talking about!"
Ye Yuan patted White Light's shoulder and said with a smile, "Still remember what Head Elder said, he owes me a favor?"
White Light froze, but Ye Yuan said with a smile, "I already talked with Head Elder. This favor, I'll use it to exchange for Fang Xiao."
The moment these words were said, White Light's and Fang Xiao's entire bodies trembled.
A favor from Head Elder, it was actually used to exchange for an enemy who schemed incessantly to frame White Light?
White Light had been in the clan for a long time and was all too clear about how terrifying Head Elder's strength was. A favor of his was truly hard to obtain with a thousand pieces of gold.
But Ye Yuan actually used it so easily?
"Big Brother, this … Head Elder's favor was too precious! Why did you … why …"
"B-Big Brother, Fang Xiao only wishes for death!" Fang Xiao hesitated for a bit, but still followed White Light to call Ye Yuan big brother.
Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Just a favor, if it's used up, then it's used up! As long as I'm willing, I can make the White Tiger Clan owes me a lot of favors! White Light, you should know my temperament."
Being together with Ye Yuan for many years, White Light was naturally aware of Ye Yuan's personality.
As long as Ye Yuan treated the other party as a close kin, even if it was climbing a mountain of swords or plunging into a sea of flames, he would not bat an eyelid either, let alone talk about a measly little favor.
"But Big Brother, she …" White Light's gaze turned towards Fang Xiao, love and hatred intertwined in his eyes.
Ye Yuan said with a laugh, "Miss Fang Xiao isn't as wicked as you imagine. She was also compelled against her will. This matter is hard to say finish in a sentence. We'd better talk again on the road."
...
Watching Ye Yuan, Fang Xiao, and White Light, as their figures disappeared inside the transmission array, Bai Yi said to Rong Kun, "Head Elder, letting them go like this, aren't you afraid of them running?"
