Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Heh, one must not have malicious intentions, but also must not be without caution against others. I don't harm people, but I can't be harmed by others either, don't you agree?"
Little Fatty deeply felt that way too as he nodded. Back then when he got into big trouble, Ye Yuan directly came forward to shoulder the blame.
This code of brotherhood was not what anybody could do.
"Oh, right, that Xiu-er of yours, what's going on? I didn't know that she's actually our Wu Meng Academy's number two person, an existence second only to Qin Tian! Such a proud daughter of heaven, she can take a liking to you?" Ye Yuan scoffed.
The moment Little Fatty heard, he was indignant and said unhappily, "Tch, no matter how proud the daughter of heaven, she can't escape Lord Fatty's fiendish palms either! Kaka!"
Ye Yuan was very curious. Although that Lin Xiu was very cold and proud, she clearly treated Little Fatty differently from the others.
Even if she did not care about Little Fatty a lot, she did not push him a thousand miles away like the rest either.
In between this seemed to have some inside story.
Hearing Little Fatty say so, Ye Yuan felt even more that there was something fishy.
Lin Xiu had already entered Wu Meng Academy for several hundred years. She was clearly not a figure in the same generation as Little Fatty.
But in the martial artist world, this bit of age did not count as a gap either.
Especially to Deity Realm powerhouses, they all belonged to young people.
At the very most, Lin Xiu could only be counted as Little Fatty's big sister.
"Just what the hell is going on, let's hear it." Ye Yuan had his curiosity stirred up too.
Little Fatty said with a boastful look, "Xie-er and I were engaged before we were born. It's just that she was born several hundred years earlier than me. Now, I chased after her footsteps and entered the Wu Meng Academy, how can she still run? Uh, of course, all of this was thanks to you. When Xiu-er and I become a done deal, I'll definitely thank you properly!"
The moment Ye Yuan heard, he came to a realization. No wonder Lin Xiu was icy cold to Little Fatty, but she also looked very surprised.
Clearly, she looked down on Little Fatty in the past. But she did not expect that not only did Little Fatty pass the entrance examination, he even took part in the Hundred Cities Smelting Trial!
Furthermore, Ye Yuan also saw through that Lin Xiu did not seem to be overly averse towards Little Fatty.
This point was a very good start.
...
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Several figures appeared in the dense forest. It was precisely Qin Tian trio!
"This place's terrain is good; it's suitable for an ambush! He's currently approaching in this direction. There's still an hour's journey. We'll set up an ambush here, wait for him to walk into the trap!" Qin Tian said.
"Yes, Big Brother Qin Tian!" Qin Pei and the other person responded.
"This brat is sly and cunning, you all mustn't reveal a hint of aura! When he enters my certain-kill range, I'll personally take action. The two of you support through coordinated action, understood?"
Qin Tian arranged the specifics of the ambush in an orderly manner; scrupulous in every detail.
He had never wanted to kill a person so intensely before. Starting from when Ye Yuan killed his younger sister, he already entered his must-kill name list.
And the humiliation that Ye Yuan brought to him when he entered the Hall of Fame was even buried in his heart constantly these few years, unable to shake off for a long time!
Therefore, this time, he must kill Ye Yuan personally.
Regarding this, he did not permit any slip-ups!
Arranging the ambush positions, the three people each concealed themselves, just like becoming one with the surrounding environment.
Looking from outside, it was really indistinguishable.
Sensing the Child-Mother Heart Linking Bug getting closer and closer, Qin Tian's emotions actually became excited unconsciously.
Must be calm!
Must not reveal any flaws!
Qin Tian continuously warned himself in his heart, letting his mood calm down.
With his strength, killing Ye Yuan was but a matter of waving a hand.
But this matter was hard in that Ye Yuan had the jade pendant in his hands!
Ye Yuan just had to crush the jade pendant and he could instantly teleport to the altar.
Hence, he had to make Ye Yuan not react, killing in one blow!
If he was slow by a bit, the Qin Family's few years of effort would be completely wasted!
Closing in!
Even closer!
Just a bit more and I would have sufficient assurance in killing him!
Right at the instant Ye Yuan's figure stepped into the range, Qin Tian moved!
He unleashed this sword with a momentum like a sudden peal of thunder which left no time for covering ears!
Pfft!
How powerful was Qin Tian's sword? This sword passed through Ye Yuan's sea of consciousness without any resistance.
Qin Tian was overjoyed in his heart. Finally finished off this damn fellow!
Chapter 1398 - Nine Transformations Golden Body - First Transformation!
Qin Tian's brow furrowed, suddenly feeling that it was somewhat amiss.
He abruptly turned around, suddenly feeling that the clothes worn by that person were rather familiar!
Recalling the scene of him killing just now again, that person … seemed to be Qin Yu?
"Big Brother Qin Tian, killed … killed the wrong person! It … It's Little Yu!"
Qin Pei and Qin Zheng's actions were one beat slower than Qin Tian's, but saw a little more clearly.
Qin Tian's sword just now infused all of his strength. It was incomparably fast, not planning on giving 'Ye Yuan' any chance to catch his breath at all.
Under such swift speed, even he himself also did not see clearly what the other party looked like.
However, Qin Pei duo did not have time to yell yet and Qin Yu was already dead!
Qin Pei duo's quivering voices abruptly startled Qin Tian awake.
"Impossible! How could it be Little Yu? How could it possibly be Little Yu? Uncle Yuanlong clearly planted the Child-Mother Heart Linking Bug onto Ye Yuan. Why … Why is it Little Yu?"
Everything was arranged seamlessly. But why was the one who came to deliver himself to death was Qin Yu?
Qin Tian racked his brains and could not think of a reason too.
Until now, he was not willing to admit killing the wrong person, this fact.
But he knew in his heart that he really killed the wrong person!
Qin Pei and Qin Zheng, the two people, exchanged a glance, both with dazed looks.
They also did not know why such a blunder would happen!
This Qin Yu was different from Qin Shao. He was also a Qin Family's lineal descendant, his bloodline relation very close to Qin Tian.
Furthermore, this Qin Yu relationship with him was normally pretty good as well, calling him Big Brother Qin Tian front and back; completely different from Qin Shao's coldness and pride.
Now, he actually personally killed his own younger brother!
This outcome, Qin Tian could not accept it no matter what!
"Big Brother Qin Tian, could it be that Ye Yuan detected Uncle Yuanlong's Child-Mother Heart Linking Bug, then deliberately grafted it onto Little Yu?" at this time, Qin Pei suddenly said out loud.
Clearly, this was the most likely situation to occur.
"Impossible! Uncle Yuanlong's expertise in Bug Dao has reached the acme of perfection. Even Teacher Thundercry didn't notice it when he planted the bug, so how could Ye Yuan possibly know? Moreover, even if he really knew, how could he possibly transfer Uncle's Child-Mother Heart Linking Bug onto Little Yu?" Qin Tian said furiously.
It was precisely because he was very confident in Qin Yuanlong's bug arts th
at Qin Tian would deal out the killing blow so assuredly.
Furthermore, when Qin Yuanlong planted the bug, even Thundercry, this Origin Deity Realm mighty expert did not detect it. How could Ye Yuan, a Grotto Profound Realm rookie, possibly discover it?
Boom!
Under Qin Tian's fury, he smacked a palm out, directly sweeping out a piece of open space in the dense forest!
Although he was unwilling to believe, he also knew that this was the most likely situation.
Except, how in the world Ye Yuan did it made him very puzzled.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Ye Yuan, I must tear your corpse limb from limb!"
The current Qin Tian changed and became incomparably irritable from his former proud and aloof character.
He was unable to accept that a Grotto Profound Realm rookie toyed with him in the palm of his hands!
The Hall of Fame that time was like this. This time, it was still the same!
That stifling feeling acc.u.mulating in his c.h.e.s.t made him virtually about to explode.
He could clearly kill Ye Yuan with a wave of a hand, but the carefully planned killing trap actually became him killing his younger brother.
This outcome practically drove him nuts.
Qin Pei and Qin Zheng, the two of them were silent like cicadas in winter, not daring to say much either.
They knew that Qin Tian already reached the brink of eruption. They did not dare to go and set off this catalyst.
No idea how long had passed either, Qin Tian finally calmed down.
It was just that Qin Pei and Qin Zheng felt that Qin Tian seemed to be even more somber than before.
"Bury Little Yu! I'll go and contact Uncle Yuanlong, tell him that the assassination failed! We'll go do the mission first. I don't believe that this guy can keep on not show up!" Qin Tian's tone was icy-cold, not containing a trace of emotion.
In a certain corner of the mystic realm, Qin Yuanlong suddenly trembled, his gaze revealed a look of astonishment.
Just earlier, he received the news Qin Tian transmitted.
The assassination failed!
Ye Yuan saw through his Child-Mother Heart Linking Bug and even transferred it onto Qin Yu!
This … How was this possible?
"Yuan Long, what's wrong with you?" Thundercry's voice sounded out at an inappropriate time, interrupting Qin Yuanlong's shock.
"N-Nothing!" Qin Yuanlong's expression was not quite natural.
They also had the mission of harvesting spirit medicines when they entered the mystic realm. These places were very dangerous. Ordinary disciples could not come over.
It was just that along the way, Thundercry was just like a dog-skin plaster; eyeing him at all times, leaving him no chance to leave at all.
Previously, Qin Yuanlong was still secretly sneering at Thundercry. He already planted the Child-Mother Heart Linking Bug, but the other party did not know.
But now, all of the mocking became astonishment.
Ye Yuan did not die. It was his nephew, Qin Yu, who died!
"Since it's fine, the spiritual energy of that area ahead is very rich. There might be spirit medicines. Let's go over," Thundercry said.
"Mn, let's go." Qin Yuanlong feigned an appearance as if nothing was wrong and followed Thundercry away.
It was just that he was already cudgeling his brain for a plan to leave.
...
Time passed day by day, various places inside the mystic realm played out the fighting and killings among the various cities' disciples.
But Ye Yuan hid in a concealed cave to refine a One Transformation Profound Gold Pill.
One Transformation Profound Gold Pill was the body-refining pill formula that Dustless gave to Ye Yuan.
With his current strength, Tier 1 divine pills were basically nothing difficult.
He spent half a year's effort to research the One Transformation Profound Gold Pill's array formation thoroughly, finally refining this medicinal pill a few days ago.
Inside the dark cave, golden light radiated, illuminating the entire cave akin to daytime!
After another month of refining, Ye Yuan's Nine Transformations Golden Body's first transformation was finally achieved!
At this time, Ye Yuan's entire body was molded like a golden body, the entire body assuming a golden color, looking very strange.
No idea how long had passed either, the light faded. Ye Yuan's skin finally recovered to its normal appearance.
But his current fleshy body was filled with strength.
Ye Yuan had a feeling that right now, by just relying on the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm, he could have a battle with Qin Shao.
"Unfortunately, my fleshy body hasn't broken through to the second transformation yet. Otherwise, my Atavism Dragon Soul should be able to awaken for the second time, right?" Ye Yuan pondered rather regretfully.
Ye Yuan's Atavism Dragon Soul's first awakening was ahead of schedule. But this second awakening kept failing to arrive.
But after reaching the Heavenspan World, Ye Yuan also discovered that even one of the dragon race's paramount martial techniques, the Voice of the Dragon God, was also not considered a top-notch cultivation method in this place.
This move could not possibly be like it used to be in the Immortal Grove World, being ever-victorious.
At least, the Sundering Stars that he currently comprehended was more than a magnitude stronger than the Voice of the Dragon God.
However, the Voice of the Dragon God was still a very incisive martial technique in the end.
Furthermore, once he awakened for the second time, he could directly comprehend the power of laws to the limits of the second level. Helping him to leap realms to battle was also nothing difficult.
"It's almost time. I should also go out and settle scores!" Ye Yuan slowly got up and walked towards the cave entrance.
Chapter 1399 - Limitless Challenge!
"Heh, the few of you are from Wu Meng Capital City, right? What a coincidence. Hand over the storage rings obediently, and then commit suicide!"
Qiao Jie brought along five Heavenly Feather Capital City's students and surrounded three students from Wu Meng Capital City, with a look of swagger.
Through a few months' time of wandering around, the majority of the capital cities were all able to gather a group of their own students.
One person fighting alone could not compare to numbers after all.
Apart from this, the relationsh.i.p.s between some capital cities were pretty good. They would even cooperate with each other to deal with other capital cities.
Of course, some solitary people would also gather together, forming one small group after another.
All in all, what this Hundred Cities Smelting Trial trained was not just the students' strength, it was more on their survivability.
Under the circ.u.mstances of ensuring that they were not finished off, and finishing off others!
Qiao Jie later inquired from many parties and finally knew that the late-stage Grotto Profound who broke his sword originated from Wu Meng Capital City.
Now, when he saw Wu Meng Capital City's people, he vented his anger on these people.
"Our Wu Meng Capital City and the Heavenly Feather Capital City each stay in our own lanes. We'll just hand over the storage rings, why is there a need to pressure people?" said a student from Wu Meng Capital City.
Qiao Jie had a smug look as he said, "Want to blame, blame that fellow called Ye Yuan. Who asked him to provoke Lord Qiao, me?"
"Turns out it's Ye Yuan! This guy is really a troublemaker!"
"Yeah! This guy went around to stir up trouble at the Wu Meng Academy. I didn't think that participating in the Hundred Cities Smelting Trial, he still provoked enemies everywhere!"
"Why doesn't that guy go and die!"
The moment the three people heard that it was Ye Yuan who attracted the enemy, their temper flared up out of nowhere.
In the Hundred Cities Smelting Trial, the bi
ggest taboo was making enemies everywhere. But Ye Yuan provoked enemies everywhere.
But now, they were made to shoulder the blame. This naturally made them very depressed.
"Originally thought that everyone is from the same academy, but you guys are talking bad about me behind my back. What should I do?"
At this time, a leisurely voice sounded out, making everyone get a shock.
Qiao Jie's expression changed. This voice, he was too familiar with it. Who could it be if not Ye Yuan?
Sure enough, Ye Yuan brought along a little fatty and appeared before everyone's eyes.
Seeing Ye Yuan, Qiao Jie instinctively wanted to run. But he instantly saw quite a few fellow disciples around him, and immediately became much braver in his heart.
"Hey, punk, you finally showed up! The score last time, we should settle it properly!" Qiao Jie said with a cold smile.
Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile, "We should settle it properly! The few of you, hand over your storage rings!"
Qiao Jie sneered coldly and said, "You're really arrogant! There are six of us today. Could it be that you plan on fighting one-on-six?"
Ye Yuan said coolly, "So what if one-on-six? Looks like you want me to take action!"
Done talking, Ye Yuan directly unleashed Sundering Stars over.
Qiao Jie's expression changed drastically. This sword move was no idea how much stronger than that move used to deal with him back then!
Only at this time did he know that Ye Yuan did not use much strength at all back then!
This move of Ye Yuan's was incomparably fast. Qiao Jie simply could not avoid it.
With strong unwillingness, he crushed the jade pendant.
Ye Yuan swept a glance over the remaining people and said nonchalantly, "You guys want me to take action too? Your strength is even worse than his. If I unleash my sword again, you guys might not have time to crush the jade pendant!"
The remaining five people were all white as a sheet. How could they still dare to resist? They crushed their jade pendants in succession, transporting away.
Ye Yuan reached his hand out and beckoned. 20 over storage rings came to his hand.
"Heh, looks like letting that guy off back then was right. This half a year, that guy collected quite a number of storage rings. It saved me quite a bit of trouble," Ye Yuan said with a satisfied look.
