Therefore, although he looked like he was beating ruthlessly, he did not unleash genuine killing moves.
That Yue Xinping was at any rate a Void Mystic expert. Really forcing him into a corner, he probably would not be that easy to deal with either.
The reason why Yue Xinping did not utilize trump cards was just that he did not wish to expose himself too early.
If he revealed all of his trump cards at this time, he would not have much reliance upon entering the Immemorial Medicine Garden.
The Immemorial Medicine Garden opening this time already drew a large batch of experts over. Even Void Mystic powerhouses might not be able to gain any advantages either.
Exposing trump cards too early, either directly get lost, or go in and court death. There was probably no third path to take.
Ye Yuan looked at the three people and said with a smile, "I stimulated your potential with the Golden Needle Acupoint Piercing skill, letting you guys briefly recover to your prime. But right away, you all will be drained all over your body. For three days, your meridians will be swollen in pain, your entire bodies akin to being burned by a blazing fire. You'll likely not be able to even twitch your fingers."
The moment these words came out, the three people's countenance instantly changed. This sort of taste was not too enjoyable!
They knew that the consequences were very serious, but they did not think that it would be so severe.
"M-Milord, is there any way to ease it a little?" Jiang Taicang said weakly.
Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "There's no way! I can only make sure of not damaging your martial Dao foundations. But a tiny bit of anguish still has to be suffered."
The three people's expressions were incomparably ugly. But they also knew that what Ye Yuan said was the truth.
This kind of potential stimulating techniques commonly needed to pay an enormous price. This sort of price was not as simple as lying in bed for two days.
For Ye Yuan to be able to achieve this was already extremely heaven-defying means.
Just as they were talking, the three people suddenly spasmed, their entire bodies becoming rigid, then directly toppling down stiffly.
"I-It came … right away!"
The expression on Jiang Taicang's face contorted, his entire person spasming non-stop, looking very pitiful.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "The three of you rest with your minds at ease. I'm going to enter closed-seclusion these two days to refine the Pure Source Infusion Divine Pill. Just treat it as a reward for you guys, huhu."
Hearing these words, Ao Qian was still alright, but Jiang Taicang and Wu Luo, the duo trembled all over.
Although their whole bodies were spasming, their eyes went wide-open, staring fixedly at Ye Yuan.
They wanted to know whether Ye Yuan was messing with them or not!
Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Old Man Han that fellow is sitting on Cloudmarsh City. Since the Immemorial Medicine Garden has fluctuations, these two kinds of spirit medicines can't stump him yet. It's been hard on you guys these few days. The matter regarding the medicinal pills, leave it to me."
...
Several days later, rays of light spilled over outside Cloudmarsh City. Essence energy powerful until it made people feel asphyxiated gushed out.
Everybody knew that the Immemorial Medicine Garden, which opened once every 500 years was finally opening!
At this time, a large group of martial artists gathered at the outer-regions of the Immemorial Medicine Garden.
"You guys, look! That's the super holy land, Dawn Heavenly Palace's people! The one leading is their vice-palace lord, Shu Yunqing! Also, that old man beside him is known as the number one person under the Grand Yan Divine King, Ding Zhanguo! Looks like the Immemorial Medicine Garden trip this time, they are hell-bent on it!"
"Also, over there, Heavenly Sword Sect's vice-sect master, Sword Thirteen! I didn't think that he actually came too! The other day, Jian Wushuang provoked Lord Qingyun Zi. As a result, he was beaten up until he was searching the ground for his teeth. Now that Sword Thirteen came, Lord Qingyun Zi will likely have huge pressure!"
"Hiss … The Seven Absolute City's people came too! The Seven Absolute City's deputy city lord, He Dajiang, is a Void Mystic Realm powerhouse too! What's even more damnable is that the patron behind Fiendblade Mountain is precisely the Seven Absolute City! If Yue Xinping joins hands with He Dajiang to deal with Lord Qingyun Zi, the situation will be bad!"
"Out of the Eight Great Super Holy Lands, three came at once! As for Rank One Holy Land powerhouses, there are even too many to enumerate. The Immemorial Medicine Garden opening up this time is truly extraordinary! It's just that I still feel worried about Lord Qingyun Zi. His enemies this time are far too powerful! In his present state, dealing with so many experts all at once, how to hold out?"
The Immemorial Medicine Garden opening, all the major factions flocked in with great numbers. The spectacle was extremely shocking.
Wanting to meet one of these Void Mystic Realm powerhouses was difficult normally. But today, there was quite a number the moment they appeared.
Of course, these were still just the super holy lands' Void Mystic experts. The people all knew that the Thundercry Divine King and Extreme Sword Divine King both came too. As for the Void Mystic powerhouses still hiding in the dark, god knows how many there were!
Right at this time, Ye Yuan brought along a group of people and finally showed up at the Immemorial Medicine Garden's entrance area, immediately stirring up a commotion.
His fame was too great, and his prestige in Cloudmarsh City was too high as well. Areas that he passed through, there was none who did not give sidelong glances.
Ye Yuan appeared very warm, nodding his head to gesticulate to his worshipers, responding with a faint smile.
Seeing the stir on this side, Jian Wushuang's expression suddenly darkened and instinctively wanted to make a move against Ye Yuan.
"Hold your horses, Wushuang! Our objective this time is the divine rank spirit medicines in the Immemorial Medicine Garden! We mustn't suffer a great loss because of some small gains!" Sword Thirteen's voice sounded out by Jian Wushuang's ear.
Right now at the Immemorial Medicine Garden, various forces were swarming, keeping each other in check. Nobody dared to make a move first either. The moment a great battle began, others would be like a fisherman benefiting from a snipe and clam's tussle.
Jian Wushuang said hatefully, "Uncle Thirteen, I just can't take this lying down! I say, why is Ji Qingyun's life so tenacious? Ji Canglan killed even his father, this brat is actually not dead yet! It's also fine if he didn't die, but on what basis is he able to obtain a divine artifact?"
Sword Thirteen said coolly, "He carried a divine artifact and swaggered through the streets and has already been targeted by many people. He'll be taken care of by someone who has the intent sooner or later. When we enter the Immemorial Medicine Garden, after everyone scatters, find a suitable opportunity and finish him off will do. As for now, better wait for the Immemorial Medicine Garden to open. Put your mind at ease."
Jian Wushuang was helpless and could only nod his head.
Over here, Yue Xinping was ready to make trouble too. He saw that the Jiang Taicang and Wu Luo beside Ye Yuan already broke through to peak divine king, and knew that Ye Yuan found those two kinds of spirit medicines through another way.
This guy could clearly find the spirit medicines and still wanted to beat him half to death. It was definitely on purpose!
His thought arriving here, his temper flared up at once.
He Dajiang said coolly, "At present, the situation is messy and convoluted. You'd better not have wicked ideas anymore! If Ji Qingyun was so easy to kill, he'd have died countless over. How could he wait for your arrival?"
The moment Yue Xinping heard, his bl.u.s.ter instantly weakened.
Yeah, he thought that the Ye Yuan after reincarnating was a soft persimmon, and wanted to knead a bit.
He did not expect that Ye Yuan was still a tough nut to crack, breaking off a mouthful of his teeth!
"I got it! But after entering the Immemorial Medicine Garden, I must find an opportunity to eliminate this fellow!" Yue Xinping said hatefully.
Right then, another group of people arrived at the horizons. Each and every one of them wore black outfits, their auras imposing.
"I-It's the Medicine King Hall's people! That person in front is the Medicine King Hall's former deputy hall master, Sun Man!" someone cried out in shock.
Chapter 1047 - Not Far from Hour of Doom
"Ever since after that massive change 20 years ago, the Medicine King Hall rarely showed face. I didn't think that they actually came to the Immemorial Medicine Garden this time as well!"
"There's a good show to watch now. I wonder what kind of expression Sun Man will have when he sees Ji Qingyun."
"These few years, the outside world basically all don't know the Medicine King Hall's situation. Looking at it now, Ji Canglan seems to have taken over the Medicine King Hall's past members across-the-board! Even Sun Man, a Void Mystic Realm expert, submitted himself to Ji Canglan's rule."
The past Medicine King Hall, powerhouses gathered together. Ji Zhengyang and Ji Qingyun father and son's strength in itself was unfathomable to begin with. Adding in Sun Man and Ji Canglan these people, that was how it formed a super holy land.
But after the Ji father and son perished, where these experts belonged to became an unresolved matter. Outsiders had no knowledge of it.
All the way until Sun Man showed face today did the Medicine King Hall display the tip of the iceberg to the world.
The present Medicine King Hall's strength was still incomparably terrifying!
Disregarding a veteran Void Mystic powerhouse like Sun Man, Ji Canglan's strength in itself was already unfathomable.
When Ye Yuan saw Sun Man arriving, his brows furrowed slightly too.
Ji Zhengyang and Sun Man were sworn brothers. Their relationship was incomparably solid.
In the past, when Ye Yuan saw Sun Man, he would have to call 'Uncle Sun.' But now, he actually submitted until Ji Canglan's rule.
That Ji Bingyun by his side was also Ji Zhengyang's foster son. But now, they all betrayed the Ji father and son.
What on earth happened in-between this?
Sun Man clearly discovered Ye Yuan too, but his expression was incomparably cold. He said to Ji Bingyun indifferently, "Bingyun, you go and take down that traitor."
Sun Man did not conceal anything regarding this voice. Everyone heard it clearly.
But this result made everyone absent-minded.
Traitor? Where did this come from?
Ye Yuan was the Medicine King Hall's young lord. The entire Medicine King Hall could be said to be his. How could he be the Medicine King Hall's traitor?
However, Sun Man continued slowly, "Everybody, the change 20 years ago truly could not be helped. Ji Qingyun this traitor viciously killed his father for the sake of the Divine Dao secret canon, the Medicine God's Soul Canon. Fortunately, he was detected by Ji Canglan who executed him on the spot. Except, I didn't think that this villain actually got away with deceiving everyone and fled to the Lower Realms carrying a wisp of remnant soul. Now, not only has his strength improved further, he even obtained a divine artifact. If we let him carry on growing unchecked, it will likely be a calamity for the Divine Realm!"
The moment Sun Man's words came out, there was a hubbub immediately.
They never would have thought that Ye Yuan actually carried out such a crazy act.
Ye Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and a chill crept out.
He also did not expect that the Sun Man who treated him like a real uncle in the past would actually say this sort of incisive words.
Ye Yuan did not refute, because he knew that refuting did not have any use at all.
The Medicine God's Soul Canon was indeed in his hands, while the Medicine King Hall's upper echelons formerly were all Ji Canglan's people now.
All disputes would appear that feeble and weak.
Of course, actually, when the vast majority of the people heard 'Divine Dao secret canon' and 'divine artifact,' these two terms, they all revealed greedy looks.
The Medicine King Hall unforeseen accident, that was the Medicine King Hall's own affairs. It had nothing to do with the outside world. Even if Ye Yuan was really this sort of person, it had nothing to do with them too.
However, 'Divine Dao secret canon' and 'divine artifact,' these two things, were different!
Moreover, with Sun Man's words, them taking action against Ye Yuan would even stand on the side of righteousness.
"Ji Qingyun, I didn't think that you're actually such a vicious and shameless person! A traitorous villain like you who murders their own father, everyone has the right to punish!" Yue Xinping reproached furiously.
Jian Wushuang also could not stand not being in the spotlight, so he reproached, "Ji Qingyun, you normally appear gentlemanly, now, you have nothing to say, right? Today, I'm going to carry out justice on behalf of the heaven, and exterminate you, this villain!"
At this time, Ruan Shuangzhou and the rest behind Ye Yuan were all filled with righteous indignation.
They knew that Ye Yuan practically got caught in a hopeless situation himself for White Light. How could this kind of person who helped his friend with his life on the line possibly murder his father?
But Ye Yuan stopped them with a hand gesture. He just said to Ji Bingyun nonchalantly, "What are you in a daze for? Still not making a move?"
Ji Bingyun's face fell, and his figure moved explosively.
Seeing Ji Bingyun take action, Jian Wushuang could not contain himself anymore and roared out, "Ji Bingyun, I'll lend you a helping hand!"
Yue Xinping also yelled out, "My Fiendblade Mountain cannot bear the sight of this kind of wicked people the most! Kill!"
Right at this moment, a bolt of lightning flashed across the void. Another figure suddenly charged out. It was precisely the Thundercry Divine King.
In an instant, four mighty apex experts charged over toward Ye Yuan with a besieging momentum. That aura practically suffocated people.
Among the four people, there were even two who were Void Mystic Realm experts. While on Ye Yuan's side, there was only Kuang Tianming, one Void Mystic expert.
"With this, Lord Qingyun Zi is dead for sure! Sigh … I say, you guys, is he really this sort of villainous traitor who murders his own father?"
"I don't believe this! Lord Qingyun Zi is praised by the people. How can he possibly be this sort of person? It's merely a one-sided story from that Sun Man!"
"Sigh, no matter what, Qingyun Zi has made too many enemies! These four great experts surrounding and attacking, he has no possibility of escaping alive at all."
Everyone was feeling sorry. These four great experts joining hands, it was virtually a certain death scenario.
But Ye Yuan did not have the intention of making a move.
He stood with his hands behind his back as if it did not concern him.
Kuang Tianming did not have the slightest hesitation and directly clashed with the Thundercry Divine King. The two of them were sworn enemies.
Right then, Wu Luo and Jiang Taicang, the two people erupted with an aura that made people astounded, making the three people who were currently rushing over greatly astonished.
"Divine King domain! These two people both broke through to the realm of Void Mystic? This … How is this possible?"
"This is also too freakish, right? A few days ago, these two people were still ordinary deity realms and needed to use the Golden Needle Acupoint Piercing method before they can unleash the combat strength of peak divine kings. It's only been a few days, and they actually both broke through to the realm of Void Mystic!"
"Originally I thought that Qingyun Zi was a soft persimmon. I didn't think that their side actually produced two additional Void Mystic powerhouses all at once! With this, wouldn
't Qingyun Zi become the number one force?"
Ji Bingyun trio's figures stopped abruptly, forcefully stopping in midair.
Facing two mighty Void Mystic experts, the three of them were not enough at all!
"What? Weren't you still pretty haughty just now? Saying you wanted to kill His Excellency? Why all shriveled up now?" Jiang Taicang said with a cold smile.
"His Excellency has deep sentiments and fierce loyalty. You all actually slandered him with words! Deserve death!" Wu Luo said, seething with killing intent.
Ji Bingyun was still alright, but Jian Wushuang and Yue Xinping's faces were both awful like they had eaten a fly.
They thought that finding a helper this time, they could tyrannize Ye Yuan properly. They did not expect that Ye Yuan summoned two mighty Void Mystic experts with a wave of a hand.
With this, they neither advance nor retreat and actually froze there.
As for the Thundercry Divine King's side, seeing the sudden change over here, his expression changed greatly too. Lightning flashed, and he actually disappeared with even greater speed than when he came!
Ye Yuan looked at Sun Man from far away and said coolly, "Uncle Sun, this is my last time calling you like this! I hope that you don't let me find out you had anything to do with my father's death. Otherwise … your hour of doom won't be far!"
Chapter 1048 - The Immemorial Medicine Garden Opening
Ye Yuan's threat made Sun Man's expression change.
He gave a cold snort and said, "You villainous traitor, you still want to mislead the public? If not for Canglan having important business to attend to lately, he'll definitely execute you summarily today!"
Ye Yuan said coolly, "Whatever you say. But my words earlier, you have got to remember them."
As he said, he swept past the faces of the Medicine King Hall's people one by one, saying in a cold voice, "You all, if there's one, it counts as one. If you were really compelled by Ji Canglan to submit to him, I don't blame you guys. But if I discover that any one of you was his accomplice … I, Ji Qingyun, swear here, to definitely bathe the Medicine King Hall in blood in the future!"
