These two days, the inn where Ye Yuan was at was followed with great interest. Therefore, the moment a conflict occurred on that side, it immediately aroused a large group of martial artists' attention.
Regarding Jian Wushuang and Ji Qingyun's various things back then, it was circulated widely in the Divine Realm. They were perfectly aware.
It was just that regarding Ye Yuan's predicament, they became somewhat worried.
They knew that Ye Yuan brought along several divine kings. But those few were likely still not a match compared to Jian Wushuang.
While Ye Yuan himself was merely First Level Dao Profound strength. It was even more impossible to be Jian Wushuang's match.
Gu Yue was domineering too, to actually dare directly tear open Jian Wushuang's scar in front of so many people.
With him saying that, Jian Wushuang's aura turned cold. The hairs all over Gu Yue's body was almost standing on its ends.
Gu Yue knew that Ye Yuan was definitely watching him. Whether or not he could acknowledge him as his master would depend on this one chance. He absolutely could not weaken his momentum!
He might as well resolve his heart and risk it all.
Gu Yue raised his head high and stuck his c.h.e.s.t out, and met Jian Wushuang's eyes proudly, not the slightest bit afraid.
When Jian Wushuang saw Gu Yue's attitude, he suddenly laughed and said, "Not bad! Pretty good! Ji Qingyun's grand-pupil indeed have balls! It's already been many years since anyone dared to speak this way to this seat!"
Gu Yue gave a cold laugh and said, "That is my Lord Grand-Master meeting with a misfortune. Otherwise, how can you be qualified to be arrogant in this Divine Realm?"
Slap!
The moment Gu Yue's voice faded, Jian Wushuang's slap arrived, directly smacking Gu Yue out far away.
This slap, Jian Wushuang hit it perfectly and did not claim Gu Yue's life. But struck until half of his face swelled up.
Jian Wushuang slowly walked forward and said with a faint smile, "Talk, carry on talking!"
Pffft!
Gu Yue directly spewed out a mouthful of frothy blood, wanting to spray onto Jian Wushuang's face.
But what kind of skill did Jian Wushuang had? How could he be dirtied by a nobody like him?
Gu Yue said with a cold smile, "If not for Grand-Master showing mercy back then, you, this trash, would have long become a moron already! Would there still be a chance to flaunt your might in front of this young master?"
Jian Wushuang laughed again and said, "Brat, I know you. These few years in this Cloudmarsh City, you still have some fame, claiming to want to catch up to Ji Qingyun that fellow. However, you look, you're already almost dying, and that grand-master of yours is still like a cowardly turtle. He doesn't dare to come out!"
Done talking, Jian Wushuang pointed his fingers like a sword and lightly pointed forward.
Chapter 1038 - Alright, Kneel Down Then
Rumble!
Half of the wall behind Gu Yue collapsed with a loud bang!
But Jian Wushuang's brows furrowed slightly. His face carried a hint of a shock as he said, "Merging into heaven and earth!"
And right then, Ye Yuan's figure slowly appeared not far away. His hand was still grabbing Gu Yue's collar.
Ye Yuan loosened his hand, and Gu Yue plopped down onto the ground. His two eyes were staring wide-open. Clearly, he still had not come back to his senses.
That instant just now, he even thought that he was dead for sure.
Now, he knew that he bet correctly!
Lord Qingyun Zi really made a move and saved him!
"Pretty well done!" Ye Yuan's nonchalant voice transmitted into his ears, akin to a heavenly melody.
At this time, Ao Qian and the rest also came out in an instant, and they guarded around Ye Yuan's side.
Jian Wushuang sized Ye Yuan up with a glance and suddenly let out a huge laugh and said, "Hahaha … the exalted peak Alchemy Emperor, Qingyun Zi, actually ended up in such a plight! Didn't expect, oh, really didn't expect it! Perhaps this is called, heaven has eyes, right? Don't you guys think so? Hahaha …"
Seeing Ye Yuan change a body, furthermore, only had First Level Dao Profound strength at present, the delight in his heart welled up limitlessly, making him smile until he grinned from ear to ear.
Nothing was more satisfying than seeing one's enemy encountering difficulties.
Ye Yuan did not speak. He just watched him laugh quietly like that.
Actually, only he was laughing too.
In this Cloudmarsh City, everyone was firstly excited by Ye Yuan's return, and secondly sympathetic. Nobody would mock him at all.
As for those subordinates that Jian Wushuang brought over, each and every one of them also laughed along. It was just that so many people surrounding and watching, their laughter appeared very dry.
Finally, Jian Wushuang also realized that he was like a clown, before gradually ceasing the laughter.
Ye Yuan looked at him and said smilingly, "Laughed enough? If you had your fill of laughter, bring your men and get lost then. Don't look for trouble yourself."
Jian Wushuang's face turned black. He discovered that he forever could not find that sense of accomplishment in front of Ji Qingyun!
He had clearly met with a misfortune currently, why was he still being mocked by him?
"Ji Qingyun, you don't think that the current you can dismiss me with just a word, right? You're merely a homeless dog right now. Even if I don't kill you, do you think that Ji Canglan will let you go? Or perhaps, do you think I'll let you off so easily today?" Jian Wushuang said with a cold smile.
Ye Yuan said coolly, "Otherwise?"
Jian Wushuang suddenly discovered that he forever could not keep his cool in front of Ye Yuan. In comparison, he was always suppressed by Ji Qingyun.
Thinking about this, Jian Wushuang could not help switching to a smiling face as he said, "We've also not met for a long time. The day we met again feels as if a lifetime has passed. Don't you feel that we should have a good talk about the old days and settle the scores?"
"Am I very close to you? If you still don't get lost, don't blame me for not being courteous anymore!" Ye Yuan said very calmly.
"Haha, I want to see just how our Lord Qingyun Zi can be discourteous to me! Could it be by relying on that group of trash behind you?" Jian Wushuang said with a loud laugh.
Hearing Ji Wushuang's words, the faces of Ao Qian and the rest all turned black.
Especially Ao Qian, how formidable of an existence was he back then? Now, he was actually looked down upon by a junior like so. This simply made him explode with anger.
But speaking of which, his current strength might even be inferior to Ruan Shuangzhou's, let alone talk about Jian Wushuang.
"Junior, if this old can recover my strength, I'll definitely tear that mouth of yours!" Ao Qian gnashed his teeth in hatred and said.
Jian Wushuang said with a loud laugh, "You this old fellow should enter a coffin already! Today, this seat can send you on your way."
Ye Yuan secretly heaved a sigh in his heart. Each and every one of these fellows, how many years has it been, no changes at all.
Zuo Qing was like that, Jian Wushuang was similarly like so.
Could it be that they just could not be a little more m.a.t.u.r.e?
Speaking of which, they were plenty old already, but were still like snotty children, like to go around posturing.
"Fine then. Today's matter has nothing to do with them. Don't you want to find trouble with me? What do you want to do, state your intention," Ye Yuan let out a sigh and said.
Jian Wushuang was stunned when he heard that and immediately burst into laughter and said, "Haha, what did I hear? The exalted Lord Qingyun Zi actually lowered his head to me? Did you guys see that? Did you guys see that?"
Seeing Jian Wushuang's appearance of a despicable person realizing his ambition, the people surrounding and watching also showed indignant looks.
"Sigh, reall
y a tiger landing in a plain gets bullied by dogs! Recalling when Lord Qingyun Zi was at the height of his power back then, although he was not adept in martial strength, his divine soul mystic arts reached the acme of perfection. Even Void Mystic experts might not gain any advantage at his hands! But now …"
"Truly a villain intoxicated by success! Back then, Jian Wushuang was pummeled by Lord Qingyun Zi until he cried his lungs out."
"How could the Spirit Snow Divine King possibly take fancy of this guy? Unless she's blind! In my view, Spirit Snow Divine King and Lord Qingyun Zi, that's a match made in heaven!"
These people's words transmitted into Jian Wushuang's ears. He was enraged until he trembled all over. But a large group of martial artists already gathered at the scene. He could not possibly kill off one by one either. He could only cast all of his anger on Ye Yuan.
"Ji Qingyun, kneel down and kowtow for this seat today. If this seat feels happy, I might really let you go. Hahaha …" Jian Wushuang said with a loud laugh.
Jian Wushuang completely believed that Ye Yuan was really afraid of him, that was why he would compromise out of consideration for the general interest.
After all, the way he saw it, Ye Yuan's First Level Dao Profound strength was completely inadequate to post the least bit of threat to him.
Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "Alright, you start kowtowing then. No need for many, three will do. Then bring your people and scream, this young master will be able to forgive you."
Jian Wushuang's smile involuntarily stiffened and his face turned black as he pointed at Ye Yuan furiously and said, "Ji Qingyun, you tricked me!"
Ye Yuan said coolly, "Don't you know that Ji Canglan already stepped into Void Mystic, while you actually haven't broken through yet? Want to become this young master's opponent, you also got to at least learn from Ji Canglan. Your current bit of ability is also fit to be arrogant in front of this young master?"
Jian Wushuang's entire body shook from anger. Why had he not broken through to Void Mystic? Wasn't it still thanks to Ye Yuan?
For so many years, Ji Qingyun had always been his inner-demon. He was already stuck at the gates of Void Mystic for very long. But every time he almost broke through, Ji Qingyun's shadow could not be wiped away.
Therefore, that was why he would come to the Immemorial Medicine Garden this time, wanting to find an opportunity to break through.
It was just that he never thought that he would encounter the Ji Qingyun who reincarnated the moment he came!
"Very good. I want to see on what basis a First Level Dao Profound dares to be so wildly arrogant!"
Jian Wushuang's longsword swung. A terrifying sword intent headed for Ye Yuan grandly.
But right at the same time, a terrifying energy undulation also spread out from Ye Yuan there.
Ye Yuan already took out a fire rod at goodness knows when. An outrageous strength gushed out and was actually even stronger than his sword intent!
Rumble!
Caught by surprise, Jian Wushuang was directly smashed out far away. He vomited a mouthful of blood.
"Since you knew that I came back, didn't you hear that I have a divine artifact in possession?" Ye Yuan look at Jian Wushuang with pity and said coolly.
Chapter 1039 - Extreme Sword Divine King!
"D-Divine artifact! It's really a divine artifact! Lord Qingyun Zi actually has a divine artifact in possession!"
No need for Ye Yuan to say, the others also felt the pressure of a divine artifact. Each and every one was incomparably shocked.
A divine artifact coming into being was already not some secret in the Divine Realm long ago.
It was just that they did not expect that Lord Qingyun Zi actually had a divine artifact in possession too!
Regarding the divine artifact, Ye Yuan already could not be bothered to conceal it anymore either. This matter would spread sooner or later and could not be concealed at all.
Jian Wushuang struggled to his feet. Wiping away the fresh blood at the corners of his mouth, he used a dumbstruck gaze to look at Ye Yuan as he said, "You … How can you possibly have a divine artifact?"
Ye Yuan said coolly, "Why can't I have a divine artifact? So … you can get lost already, right?"
Currently, Jian Wushuang felt aggrieved to the max!
Ji Qingyun revived and only had First Level Dao Profound strength currently. While he was already standing on the cusp of Void Mystic powerhouses.
Originally thought that he could casually knead Ji Qingyun. Did not think that Ji Qingyun actually brought out a divine artifact, this kind of great killing tool. He was still unable to do anything to Ji Qingyun!
Could it be that in this life, I, Jian Wushuang, would have to be completely trampled underfoot by this fellow?
Jian Wushuang knew that Ye Yuan did not unleash the true power of the divine artifact just now. Otherwise, he would probably not be getting injured that simple.
As long as Ye Yuan had the divine artifact in his hands, he would not be able to gain any advantage.
Jian Wushuang gritted his teeth and said to his subordinates, "Let's go! Ji Qingyun, our score isn't over!"
Jian Wushuang's threat appeared rather feeble.
The might of a divine artifact, everyone knew.
Unless it was a Void Mystic Realm powerhouse, otherwise, no one could gain any advantage under Ye Yuan's hands at all.
As long as Ye Yuan was willing to pay a sufficient price, he could even exterminate Jian Wushuang just now.
When Ye Yuan was still at Phaseless Realm, he could already rely on the Sacred Dragon Token to dance around with Divine King powerhouses. Now that he advanced to Dao Profound, the Sacred Dragon Token could naturally unleash even great power in his hands.
When those surrounding martial artists saw this scene, they were all incomparably shocked.
They originally thought that Ye Yuan coming back anew, but only had First Level Dao Profound strength, was a little shabby.
But through this battle, Ye Yuan finally revealed his fangs!
He naturally had some reliance to dare openly appear in Cloudmarsh City.
"Since you came, what are you hiding your head but showing your tail for? Come on out?" After Jian Wushuang left, Ye Yuan suddenly said.
Ao Qian and the rest were all startled. They all did not notice that there was actually still an expert spying by the side!
A youth in pale-blue long robes slowly walked out from the void, looked at Ye Yuan, and said with a faint smile, "Huhu, Younger Brother Ji, long time no see! Really didn't think that there would be a day where we'd meet again still!"
Seeing the arrival, Ye Yuan's brows finally smoothened out. Clearly, he was very happy.
"Honestly speaking, I myself didn't expect it either!"
Ye Yuan laughed and had a bear bug with the blue-robed youth. It looked like the two people's relationship was very close.
"Extreme Sword Divine King! That's Lord Qingyun Zi's sworn friend till death! Extreme Sword Divine King!" In the crowd, someone suddenly cried out in shock.
Extreme Sword Divine King, Kuang Tianming, was one of the few Void Mystic powerhouses in the Divine Realm.
Although not in the ranking of the Ten Great Divine Kings, nobody dared to underestimate his strength either.
Furthermore, anyone in the Divine Realm all knew that the Extreme Sword Divine Realm and Qingyun Zi were sworn friends of life and death with an extremely good relationship.
Back then when Ye Yuan created the Falling Flower Floating Zero, it was precisely the Extreme Sword Divine King who was beside him.
After the bear hug, Ye Yuan's face turned cold, and he said, "Thundercry, aren't you scramming yet? Do you wish to stay behind to drink a cup of tea?"
Everyone was alarmed once again and could not help exchanging glances. Could it be that within this void, it actually still hid a powerhouse?
"Thundercry? Could it be the Thundercry Divine King, Wu Yuanqiao? He and the Extreme Sword Divine King are implacab
le enemies. It was said that he wasn't on good terms with Lord Qingyun Zi either. Looks like 80% it's him."
Just as everyone was guessing it, a cold snort came from the void. "Ji Qingyun, your current bit of strength also dare to barely manage to be presumptuous in front of this seat?! Once the Immemorial Medicine Garden opens, I hope that you can come out from inside alive!"
Done talking, there were no longer undulations in the void. Clearly, he already left here.
Kuang Tianming said with a bitter smile, "Why did you have to provoke him?"
Ye Yuan said smilingly, "If I don't provoke him, do you think that he'd let me off?"
Kuang Tianming could not help laughing as he said, "Makes sense! However … you coming back this time gave me a huge shock! After you break through to the Divine King Realm, even I might not be your match anymore as well!"
Ye Yuan said disdainfully, "The Extreme Sword Divine King is matchlessly tyrannical. Since when has he been so modest before?"
The two people exchanged a look but burst into laughter.
Seeing an old friend, Ye Yuan also had a rare occurrence of joy and said with a smile, "Come, today, not going back without getting drunk!"
"Haha! Competing in drinking capacity, you're not my match!" Kuang Tianming said with a loud laugh.
The two people put their arms around the shoulders and strutted away.
"G-Grand-Master, I … I …" At this time, the Gu Yue who did not dare to make a sound by the side the whole time suddenly spoke up.
The moment Ye Yuan heard, he could not help stopping his footsteps and said with a smile, "Who are you in the Southern Gu Family?"
Gu Yue's expression involuntarily changed when he heard and said in surprise, "Turns out … turns out that Grand-Master actually already saw through it?"
Kuang Tianming scolded with a laugh, "You foolish boy! What kind of judgment does Qingyun Zi have? Unless you don't use alchemy skills in front of him, otherwise, how can your little games escape his arcane eyes?"
Gu Yue could not help smiling embarrassedly. His face was smacked by Jian Wushuang until it swelled up. This smile was ugly to the extreme.
Ye Yuan casually took out a medicinal pill and threw it to Gu Yue, saying, "Although you hid it very well, the Southern Gu Family's Crisscross Flowing Wind pill refining style is imprinted in the bones. People with discerning eyes can tell that it comes from the Southern Gu Family with a glance. Who is Gu Tianhua to you?"
