But Ruan Shuangzhou had no d.e.s.i.r.e to continue fighting and was anxious to get away. But with a divine king delaying at his side, his speed could not increase no matter what.
With this, Head Elder's horrifying pressure approached closer and closer. Ruan Shuangzhou was also panicking with anxiety.
Inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda, Ye Yuan did not stir in the slightest.
The more anxious he got, the slower Ruan Shuangzhou's speed became. He even nearly got hit by Ling Lixiao's moves a number of times.
"Ye Yuan, we probably can't escape already. What should we do now?" Ruan Shuangzhou could not resist asking the Ye Yuan inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda.
What replied him was silence.
Rumble!
A horrifying aura suddenly descended. An aged figure stood in the air, thoroughly sealing off Ruan Shuangzhou's exit.
"Who are you, to actually dare provoke my Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan!" Pan Yin's cold voice came over.
Ling Lixiao also ceased his movements and stopped beside Pan Yin.
The current Ruan Shuangzhou was already a turtle in a jar. With Pan Yin around, he could not escape even if he had wings.
The gears in Ruan Shuangzhou's head spun, and he gave a bow towards Pan Yin and said, "Junior unintentionally transgressed and only accidentally ventured into your esteemed land. Junior will leave right away. I hope that Senior can give a way out, is it alright?"
Ruan Shuangzhou was also a quick-witted person. He obviously knew that Pan Yin would not let him leave.
Even abducted their divine king, still saying accidental intrusion?
But at this point right now, Ruan Shuangzhou already had no other choice. Every little bit he could delay counted.
If it were several months ago, Ruan Shuangzhou never would have thought that he would actually place his hopes on a Phaseless Realm even if he was beaten to death.
But now, Ruan Shuanzhou knew that his only chance of survival rested on Ye Yuan.
His relationship with Ye Yuan was about the same as Yuan Fei's back then. He had his individual thoughts but had no choice. He had to submit under Ye Yuan's command.
But only ever since after he submitted under Ye Yuan's command, did he know how terrifying the means Ye Yuan possessed!
Indeed, Pan Yin laughed coldly when he heard that and said, "Is your esteemed self taking this old man to be a fool? Kidnapping Ling Ninehills, you're probably sent over by Rong Kun that old dog, right? Looks like the matters over there was exposed and fell through! It's just, I'm very curious. How in the world did you sneak into the totem territory? Of course, you can also not tell, but this old man will have ways to make you say it out."
Ruan Shuanzhou had a helpless look as he said, "Junior really don't know what you're talking about! This one is just a run-of-the-mill human martial artist, why would I be sent here by the White Tiger Clan? You all lost your men, you can't very well randomly find a person to shoulder it, right? This is also too unreasonable!"
Pan Yin's eyes narrowed, and he said with a faint smile, "Looks like you're dragging the time! But I'm very curious. Could it be that you still have other means to escape this old man's palms? Or perhaps … it's that Phaseless Realm junior you came together with? Honestly speaking, this old man is really quite curious about you guys."
Pan Yin was shrewd with old age, how could he not perceive Ruan Shuangzhou's little thoughts?
But he was not worried either. He very much wanted to take a look at what means the other party had.
To be able to sneak into the totem territory so imperceptibly, one either had a heaven-defying treasure or had a heaven-defying skill.
Regardless which was it, it could become the ace-in-the-hole to bring down the White Tiger Clan. How could he not be moved?
"Shuangzhou, you did very well. Leave the rest to me!"
Right at this moment, Ye Yuan's figure suddenly appeared.
When Ruan Shuangzhou saw Ye Yuan, he was firstly overjoyed, following that, he was alarmed inwardly and said, "Young Master actually … broke through!"
Chapter 986 - Land of Ancestral Spirits!
Prior to this, Ye Yuan was still First Level Phaseless. Entering the Vast Heaven Pagoda and circling one round, he became First Level Phaseless.
Although breaking through a minor cultivation realm did not make much of a difference to the present situation, it still gave Ruan Shuangzhou a shock.
"En, I didn't think that after being squeezed dry, I actually took advantage of the opportunity and broke through," Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back as he said nonchalantly.
But opposite of them, when Pan Yin saw this scene, he was unbelievably shocked.
He could tell that Ruan Shuangzhou and Ye Yuan entered a soul contract.
A Divine King Realm powerhouse was actually serving a Phaseless Realm person as his master? With such extravagance, he at least came from a super holy land!
In an instant, Pan Yin connected to many things in his mind.
If the White Tiger Clan and a human super holy land were in collusion, then the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan would be in danger!
Looks like he must make this young man stay!
Ye Yuan did not think that the scene earlier actually strengthened Pan Yin's resolve to make him stay.
"Junior, are you surrendering without putting up resistance, or are you going to make this old man take action?" Pan Yin said coolly.
Since he caught up, it was absolutely impossible to let Ye Yuan escape, even if Ye Yuan's measures were immensely formidable!
This was the confidence belonging to a peak divine king!
Ye Yuan gave a faint smile and said, "If you have the capabilities, feel free to chase after and give it a shot!"
Pan Yin had yet to react in time when Ruan Shuanzhou vanished with a whoosh. Ye Yuan's figure was also like a moon's reflection in the water; gradually vanishing before Pan Yin!
Seeing this scene, Pan Yin's and Ling Lixiao's expressions changed drastically at the same time!
"Heaven Man Unity! How is this possible?!" Ling Lixiao cried out in shock.
Head Elder's face fell, and he said, "Chase after!"
Ye Yuan did not escape in the direction of the White Tiger Clan. He could sense that Pan Yin already locked down all of the surrounding space.
Even if he merged with heaven and earth, Pan Yin was able to force him out too.
A peak divine king's understanding of Heavenly Dao was extremely deep and far from what ordinary divine kings could compare to.
Merging with heaven and earth in front of ordinary divine kings, one could escape brazenly without fear of anything! But facing a peak divine king, one could not!
Ye Yuan naturally would not run in the direction of the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan either. That was walking right into a trap.
Hence, he chose to flee in the direction of the two people.
Head Elder never dreamed that Ye Yuan's trump card was actually merging with heaven and earth.
With this moment of hesitation, Ye Yuan already scurried out several tens of thousands of miles away.
But Head Elder already used divine sense to lock onto Ye Yuan long ago. Although he was a step late, he followed closely behind and would not fall behind too much either.
As for Ling Lixiao, he could only eat the dust behind.
Although Head Elder could not merge with heaven and earth, his speed was not the least bit slower compared to Ye Yuan.
The two people, one chased, one ran. In an instant, they were a million miles away.
While chasing, Head Elder was still endlessly shocked in his heart at the same time. Heaven Man Unity, this sort of heart realm, had already not appeared in the Divine Realm for God knows how many years.
Even with his vast experience, he also did not imagine that this heart realm actually appeared on a 20 over years old young man.
"What in the world is this boy's background? Luckily, I chased after him. Otherwise, who can make this boy stay? No wonder it was
only that divine king escaping earlier. Looks like this brat depleted his essence energy in order to sneak into the totem territory previously."
As Pan Yin's imagination ran wild, the two people already ran God knows how far out.
Head Elder's strength was immense in the end. His speed was actually still that tiny bit faster than the Ye Yuan who merged into heaven and earth!
The distance between the two people was gradually shrinking.
"Boy, even if you comprehended heaven man unity, you absolutely can't escape either!" Pan Yin urged his voice with essence energy, transmitting directly into Ye Yuan's ears.
"Old man, if you have the capabilities, chase after and see!" Not the slightest hint of panic could be heard from Ye Yuan's voice. It even had hints of ridicule.
When Pan Yin heard Ye Yuan's voice, he suddenly had a foreboding premonition.
All of a sudden, he seemed to have thought of something. His expression changed drastically, and he said, "Not good! This direction, is it possible that he wants to enter the land of ancestral spirits? Damn it! It must be Fang Xiao that little lass who gave him the idea! No can do, I have to think of a way of stopping him from entering!"
Pan Yin's guess was correct. Ye Yuan's destination was precisely the land of ancestral spirits.
Before Ye Yuan came out, he asked Fang Xiao what places within this Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan's boundary that even divine king powerhouses did not dare to go.
And the answer Ye Yuan got was the land of ancestral spirits.
The land of ancestral spirits was the place where the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan housed the memorial tablets of ancestors. Inside had an incomparably powerful tomb guardian.
Under the circ.u.mstances where no permission was allowed, even if the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan's patriarch entered inside, he would be blotted out too!
It was not that the tomb guardian already reached Deity Realm, but the tomb guardian could borrow the strength of the ancestors' spirits in the land of ancestral spirits.
This sort of power was very strange. All in all, even the patriarch would be fraught with grim possibilities when entering inside too.
When Ye Yuan heard of the land of ancestral spirits, he decided to go in without another word.
At this point, wanting to return to the White Tiger Clan according to the original route was already something impossible.
Therefore, Ye Yuan decided on the spot and directly merged with heaven and earth, and attempted to enter the land of ancestral spirits.
A powerhouse like Pan Yin was still not what the current Ye Yuan could contend with.
Although entering the land of ancestral spirits was dangerous, there was still a ray of hope. But if he landed in Pan Yin's hands, that was certain death without the possibility of survival.
The land of ancestral spirits was not too far away from the totem territory. Ye Yuan deliberately took a big detour before aiming for this place. So right at the beginning, Pan Yin did not realize it as well.
Space rippled, and Ye Yuan's figure emerged with a flash.
Ahead were two enormous pitch-black statues of ferocious tigers. A terrifying aura faintly exuded from within.
Behind the statues was a massive mausoleum! This was the land of ancestral spirits!
"Who is it, to dare have the audacity to arbitrarily barge into the land of ancestral spirits! Why haven't you obediently allowed yourself to be captured without putting up a fight?!"
A large group of martial artists suddenly came out. Ye Yuan swept a glance over. They were actually all Dao Profound Realm martial artists. Those powerful ones were even late-stage Dao Profound Realm!
But these Heavenly Fiend Tiger clan members were nothing in Ye Yuan's eyes.
"Shuangzhou, go and take care of them. Let's enter the land of ancestral spirits!"
"Yes, Young Master!"
Ye Yuan let Ruan Shuangzhou out. When they saw a divine king powerhouse suddenly show up opposite, it was as if each and every one of them were facing a formidable enemy.
Ruan Shuangzhou did not hesitate either and immediately started massacring without restraint akin to a tiger entering a flock of sheep.
The reason why divine kings were divine kings was that their disparity with ordinary Dao Profound Realm was too great!
Even an Eighth Level Dao Profound powerhouse was too weak to stand up to competition in front of a divine king too
Very soon, Ruan Shuangzhou slaughtered out a bloody path.
Ye Yuan did not hesitate either, following Ruan Shuangzhou, he was about to enter the mausoleum.
But right at this time, a terrifying aura came over from an extremely far-away place.
"Heavenly Fiend Secret Art, Tiger Roar Shaking the Firmament! ROAR!!"
Pan Yin gave a long howl. An incomparably powerful sound wave directly pierced through the void and assailed over towards Ye Yuan accurately.
"ARGHH!!"
Those Heavenly Fiend Tiger clan members were not dead yet. However, areas where this sound wave passed by, each and every one of them bled from all orifices and were actually forcefully shocked to death.
Ye Yuan's countenance changed, and he took out the Heavenly King Bell without any hesitation. Right hand, the Sacred Dragon Token was already in his hand, directly smashing down onto the Heavenly King Bell ...
???
Chapter 987 - The Mystery of White Light's Ancestry
Gong …
The Heavenly King Bell being smashed by the Sacred Dragon Token, a terrifying undulation immediately spread out. Two sound waves instantly intertwined together!
Rumble!
Places where the sound waves intersected, massive rocks were crushed into fragments. Trees were also pulverized into dust.
In the air, the smell of dust filled the air everywhere.
Pan Yin was still far away, but his expression became fearful.
Ye Yuan's sound wave attack was actually able to stand up to him as equals!
Furthermore, just now, he distinctly sensed a trace of an extraordinary undulation!
"Go!" Ye Yuan forcefully endured his internal injuries and entered the land of ancestral spirits together with Ruan Shuangzhou.
That attack earlier, Ye Yuan used a trace of divine essence. Otherwise, there was no way to contend with Pan Yin's sound wave attack at all.
Pan Yin's senses were extremely acute, and he still discovered a hint of inkling.
"This boy is truly too strange!" Pan Yin said with a somber look.
Right then, several streaks of flowing light streaked across the horizon. Quite a number of divine kings only rushed over now.
Seeing Head Elder's overcast look, the group of divine kings did not dare to speak out of turn.
Very clearly, even when Head Elder made a move, he did not manage to hold this young man back too!
Each and every one of them exchanged glances. All saw the look of shock in the other party's eyes.
Head Elder's strength was unfathomable. Dealing with a Phaseless Realm brat, he actually did not succeed!
"This child definitely has a massive secret on him. We must capture him alive! Return to the clan and invite array masters over, make them seal off the space in this vicinity. Additionally, five people stay behind and guard the mausoleum's entrance. Must not let him escape! You all must not lower your guard! This child comprehended the realm of Heaven Man Unity and is able to merge with heaven and earth. Even a divine king powerhouse might not be able to make him stay either! I'll go back and discuss with the patriarch and consider sending people into the land of ancestral spirits!" Head Elder instructed.
These few divine kings were eating dust behind the entire time and completely did not know what happened earlier.
Hearing Head Elder say it at this time, everyone was endlessly shocked in their hearts.
No wonder even Head Elder suffered a setback too! This boy actually comprehended Heaven Man Unity!
Pan Yin still had something that he did not tell. Otherwise, they would
be even more shocked.
Actually, Pan Yin suspected that Ye Yuan had a divine artifact in possession!
To be able to contend with his Tiger Roar Shaking the Firmament, furthermore, that trace of bizarre undulation, it aroused Pan Yin's suspicions.
Therefore, Pan Yin would not let Ye Yuan leave no matter what.
...
Entering the land of ancestral spirits, Ye Yuan finally could not hold it back, spewing out a mouthful of blood.
His strength was too weak after all. Head Elder's sound wave attack was sufficient to exterminate ordinary divine kings too. But Ye Yuan relied on the might of a divine artifact and forcefully resisted an attack from him.
Of course, he was still considerably wounded with this.
Fortunately, Ye Yuan's fleshy body was extremely powerful. This bit of injury did not pose much of a threat to him.
Ye Yuan let Ruan Shuangzhou guard him. After recuperating for a while, he was already no longer in danger.
Ye Yuan's Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art was already cultivated to an extremely high level. This bit of injury was naturally a cinch.
Speaking of which, it was strange too. Ye Yuan seemed to accomplish it with extremely high proficiency when he cultivated the dragon race's cultivation methods.
The dragon wave was like so, the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm was like that, the Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art was similarly like this.
Done with these, Ye Yuan entered the Vast Heaven Pagoda. Fang Xiao brought her parents and prostrated on the ground.
"Big Brother Ye, Xiao-er's family's life was saved by you. Xiao-er is endlessly grateful. But in order to save my parents, I've made Big Brother Ye fall into a dangerous situation. Xiao-er is seized with fear and worry. If there are areas where you need Xiao-er, please feel free to instruct," Fang Xiao said agitatedly.
Fang Xiao's parents clearly knew about the sequence of events already as well and were similarly endlessly grateful towards Ye Yuan.
White Light did not say anything, but his feelings of gratitude were not any lesser than Fang Xiao's. It was just that the feelings between him and Ye Yuan were too deep. There was no need to say these courteous words.
Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Miss Xiao-er, don't need to be like this! White Light's and my feelings, I believe you've seen it too. Since you guys have mutual affection, then your matters are my matters. If it were White Light, he would similarly be like this too. If you really feel anything, then just be together with White Light well, and it will also be considered repayment to me."
