Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said coolly, "Elder Bai Rong, right? Is your brain damaged? You and Bai Xiu, two people acting out a carefully choreographed dance, and still want to chase the young lord appointed by the old palace lord out of the White Night Sacred Palace?"
Bai Rong's expression turned sullen and he said, "Ignorant child, keep talking nonsense! Do you believe this old man will tear your mouth or not?"
But Ye Yuan ignored him and said to the other elders, "I'll only ask everyone one sentence, is Bai Chen the most qualified to succeed the position of palace lord as the successor that the old palace lord appointed?"
The various elders exchanged glances. Suddenly, someone spoke up, "That's of course! According to the White Night Sacred Palace's rules, the young lord is the first-in-line successor! It's just …"
That elder still wanted to carry on speaking, but he was directly interrupted by Ye Yuan. "Good that there's that! You all not letting him be the palace lord is nothing more than feeling that he's still young and his strength is insufficient to convince the public, yes?"
The elders nodded their heads slightly, not having any objections about this.
Facing a great enemy, letting a young man still wet behind his ears go and preside over the overall situation, this was no different from courting death.
Ye Yuan said coolly, "I'll now support Bai Chen up onto the position of palace lord in the name of Bai Chen's master! Those who are unconvinced, come and battle!"
It was this simple and crude!
Whatever schemes and intrigues were all paper tigers in front of absolute strength!
It was just that Ye Yuan's words in other people's views were a total joke.
Because Ye Yuan looked just like an ordinary person.
Even Bai Chen's palms were sweating too.
Bai Xiu was a late-stage Heaven Glimpse powerhouses, much stronger than Master Ye Yuan.
But he forcefully calmed down. He did not wish to lose face for his master at this time.
Bai Xiu's eyes narrowed slightly. The pressure of Heaven Glimpse Realm slowly released and he said in a solemn voice, "Your meaning is that you want to challenge me?"
Ye Yuan said coolly, "Not you, it's you all! Those who are not convinced, attacking together will do too!"
"Wildly arrogant!"
"Ignorant!"
"Insolent!"
Ye Yuan's arrogance finally aroused the elders' wrath.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Don't talk crap anymore, attack!"
Bai Xiu slowly walked down and said with a cold smile, "If you can beat me, what's wrong with letting Bai Chen inherit the position of palace lord?"
With the old palace lord not being around any longer, Bai Xiu was the White Night Sacred Palace's number one person.
If not for so, he would not dare to usurp this position of palace lord either.
Ye Yuan said coolly, "You? Too weak! Don't blame me for not giving you guys a chance. Attack together! All of the elders, attack together!"
"What a conceited and ignorant brat! This old man is going to measure just how much you weight today!"
"This old man has lived to a ripe old age, it's still my first time seeing such a wildly arrogant person! Fine, as you wish!"
"Forget it, forget it, a farce! Since you're seeking death yourself, this old man will send you on your way too!"
...
Eight great elders stepped out of the ranks one after another, standing together with Bai Xiu.
Nine mighty Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm powerhouses standing together, how shocking was the imposing momentum?
Bai Chen's heart almost leaped to his throat. He completely did not think that Master Ye Yuan was actually arrogant to such a degree, wanting to challenge nine great Heaven Glimpse powerhouses with his power alone!
A Grotto Profound Deity Realm martial artist challenging nine great Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm powerhouses, this was crazy, right?
Yesterday, Ye Yuan made him ignore everything. But he did not think that Ye Yuan used this kind of method to let him ascend to the position of palace lord.
Although the effect of this approach was immediate, the prerequisite was that Ye Yuan had to defeat them!
Bai Chen could not resist exchanging a glance with Mo Yun, discovering that Mo Yun also had an inexplicably stunned appearance at this time.
It was just that things already developed to such a degree, it was impossible for them to go and stop it anymore.
There were still a few of the old palace lord's sons present, all using gloating expressions to look at Bai Chen.
No idea where Bai Chen found such a living treasure either; this was the tempo of playing himself to death!
Ye Yuan alone faced nine great Heaven Glimpse powerhouses but stood firm as a rock.
The nine people's auras completely could not affect Ye Yuan.
"Kid, you're seeking death yourself, don't blame us for being ruthless!" Bai Rong said with a hideous grin.
Ye Yuan said coolly, "Attack then, don't talk nonsense anymore!"
"Wildly arrogant!"
Bai Rong was furious. His aura instantly soared to the peak, rushing over toward Ye Yuan!
The others did not hold back either, all displaying divine abilities. A terrifying power shook until the entire great hall was quaking.
Everyone of them, especially Bai Xiu, each suppressed a stomach-full of anger. It was just that it was inappropriate for Bai Xiu to flare up.
Now that Ye Yuan was seeking death, he did not hold back even more. The moment he made his move, it was the fiercest killing move!
Under the besiegement of nine great experts, Ye Yuan was weak like an insignificant ant.
Except, Ye Yuan did not have the intention of making a move. He still stood with his hands behind his back.
It looked like he was waiting for death.
"Master Ye Yuan!"
Bai Chen's expression changed drastically, suddenly standing up, wanting to rush over, but was held back by Mo Yun.
Got to be joking, rushing over at this time, Bai Chen would be blasted into smithereens too!
It was indeed a farce!
What the nine great elders were thinking in their hearts at this time was all this.
But right at this time, a gust of sinister wind howled.
Beside Ye Yuan, a figure appeared since no idea when.
The moment he appeared, the temperature in the entire great hall plummeted by a few degrees.
Ever since cultivating the Ghost Dao Hundred Runes, Gui Yun seemed to have become even gloomier and colder.
It was only to see him mutter under his breath, drawing a bizarre rune on his hand, and saying indifferently, "Ghost Dao Hundred Runes … Nether Ghostclaw!"
Suddenly, a surge of terrifying aura came from underground. A dark enormous claw seemed to have extended out from the netherworld.
The nine great elders' bodies were all in midair. But seeing this, their expressions changed greatly. An aura of death hit head-on.
After the enormous claw extended out, it seemed to have grown eyes, clawing over towards the nine great elders.
The few people revealed a look of great shock. How could they still care about Ye Yuan? They slammed all their attacks at the ghost claw.
Boom!
The ghost claw directly smacked those attacks down!
Puu, puu, puu …
At virtually the same time, the nine great elders spewed fresh blood wildly one after another, being smacked down onto the ground by this ghost claw's power.
Chapter 1419 - Taking the Initiative to Meet the Attack
"S-So strong!"
Bai Chen drew a mouthful of cold air, being stunned by the Nether Ghostclaw's power.
One claw bringing down nine great Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm powerhouses, this strength was simply too heaven-defying.
"That … That is a late-stage Heaven Glimpse Ghost Dao powerhouse, right? Such a powerhouse, why would he follow this guy?"
"Deputy Palace
Lord Bai Xiu and this Ghost Dao powerhouse's strength is more or less the same, but he was actually defeated so badly!"
"The aura of that ghost claw just now was too terrifying. I felt that my soul was taken away. Just what the hell was that?"
...
When the few young masters saw this scene, each and every one of them was shocked until they could not close their mouths.
Gui Yun's appearance was seriously too astonishing, mowing down nine great Heaven Glimpse powerhouses in one move.
The key was that this kind of powerful Ghost Dao powerhouse actually submitted under Ye Yuan's rule!
Each and every one of them was incredibly envious. If they had a hired thug like this, wouldn't becoming the palace lord be a cinch?
In the end, a large fist was the absolute principle!
Whatever legitimacy, whatever schemes and intrigues, one could only submit in the face of absolute strength.
Ye Yuan looked at the nine great elders in a sorry plight and said coolly, "I wonder if now, Young Lord Bai Chen has the qualifications to succeed the position of palace lord or not?"
The nine great elders' faces were all incomparably ugly, but nobody said anything.
"If you all are not talking, I'll take it as you guys agreed! Bai Chen, sit on the seat that belongs to you in the first place!" Ye Yuan said coolly.
At this time, Bai Chen started trembling all over because of agitation.
Even after Ye Yuan yelled out, he still stood there in a daze, at a loss on what to do.
Mo Yun was incomparably joyful too. Giving him a pat on the back, he said with a smile, "Go on, what are you still in a daze for?"
Only then did Bai Chen suddenly wake up fully, walking step by step over toward that seat belonging to the palace lord.
"Hang on!" Bai Xiu struggled to stand up as he stopped.
Ye Yuan swept a glance over him indifferently and said, "Why? You still have objections?"
Bai Xiu said in a solemn voice, "Bai Chen, this guy's origins are unclear. Your act of simply acknowledging a master, are you going to push the White Night Sacred Palace into an abyss of eternal doom?"
At this time, Mo Yun spoke up, "Lord Ye Yuan is a reclusive powerhouse. As for the thing that you're worrying about, that's impossible! Bai Chong that treacherous villain colluded with the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace, wanting to besiege Young Lord Bai Chen in the Wilderness Forest. Lord Ye Yuan annihilated over a dozen Deity Realm powerhouses, including Wu Xin, with one sword, only then, rescuing us! It's precisely because Lord Ye Yuan's strength is formidable, that I let Young Lord Bai Chen acknowledge him as master, assisting Young Lord Bai Chen to defend the foreign enemy together!"
When Bai Xiu and the eight great elders heard this, their expressions changed once more.
They still thought that Ye Yuan's might was entirely dependent on this Ghost Dao powerhouse. They did not expect that his own strength was actually so formidable too!
More importantly, they actually could not fathom Ye Yuan's depths!
Wu Xin's strength, they were naturally very clear. It was evenly-matched with Mo Yun.
One sword annihilating over a dozen Deity Realm powerhouses, even they could not do it too.
With this, no one had objections anymore.
No matter how the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace used a ruse of inflicting self-injury in order to win the confidence of the enemy, it was also impossible to give away the lives of over a dozen Deity Realm powerhouses in vain.
Although the sacred palace's Grotto Profound powerhouses were quite a few, over a dozen Grotto Profound powerhouses was already a force that could not be ignored.
No matter how foolish the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace's palace lord was, he would not do this kind of thing either.
"If nobody has objections, then I'll invite the Elders Association to announce to the world. Young Lord Bai Chen will take over the position of palace lord from this day forth! Deputy Palace Lord Bai Xiu, I wonder if you still have objections?"
Ye Yuan used a very indifferent gaze to look at Bai Xiu. No idea why, Bai Xiu involuntarily shuddered.
"I … I have no objections! Young Lord Bai Chen taking over as palace lord is right and proper to begin with!" Bai Chen said with some unwillingness.
Even Bai Xiu had no objections, the others naturally had no objections too.
Just like this, Bai Chen successfully became the White Night Sacred Palace's new palace lord!
The matter was urgent, the Elders Association announced to the world on that day, proclaiming that Young Lord Bai Chen succeeded the position of palace lord.
Having come this far, the struggle to become the palace lord finally settled down!
"Master Ye Yuan, what should my next step be?"
Although he became the palace lord, Bai Chen had no plans at all.
Right away, he fought Ye Yuan to inquire about the plan.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "You're the palace lord. What should be done, you need to have a score in your heart! I can help you be the palace lord, but I can't possibly help you for life. Those old fellows are all not to be trifled with. If you don't grow up as soon as possible, you'll be eaten by them until not even bone residue is left."
Bai Chen's expression changed, suddenly recalling Ye Yuan's, identity.
He would eventually leave one day. It was impossible to keep on helping him by his side.
Once Ye Yuan left, what he would be facing was a horde of savage beasts!
Mo Yun's expression turned slightly grim too and he said, "Palace Lord, what Lord Ye Yuan said makes sense! In the past, you had the old palace lord protecting you, so the others don't dare to do anything to you. But now, everything can only rely on yourself!"
Bai Chen's expression flickered incessantly and he said rather jittery: "But I … I …"
Ye Yuan said, "Just go do what you want to do! With me around, you can be unrestrained! What you have to do is to grow up within the shortest time!"
Bai Chen's entire body trembled, looking at Ye Yuan with a strange gaze.
Meeting Ye Yuan's calm gaze, not knowing why, Bai Chen's originally fl.u.s.tered thoughts calmed down a lot suddenly.
"Teacher Mo Yun, summon all of the White Night Sacred Palace's Deity Realm powerhouses. Tomorrow morning, set off for the frontiers, we'll take the initiative to meet the attack! I'm going to let the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace's people know that our White Night Sacred Palace is not easy to bully!" Bai Chen said in a solemn voice.
At this moment, Bai Chen's body inexplicably had an additional trace of domineeringness.
When Ye Yuan saw the situation, he could not help smiling slightly.
It seemed like a series of setbacks finally made this greenhouse flower grow up.
At this time, Ye Yuan threw out a small medicinal bottle and said, "Take this thing. The effect shouldn't be inferior to the Nine Melody Psychic Immortal Fruit. In the Elders Association, we need our own elder too."
Mo Yun's entire body trembled, looking at Ye Yuan with great surprise, and looked at the medicinal pill in his hands again.
"Lord Ye Yuan, Mo Yun … is forever in debt!"
At this time, the excitement in Mo Yun's heart truly could not be greater.
He was stuck at half-step Heaven Glimpse Realm for no idea how many years already. But kept being unable to break through this hurdle.
The Nine Melody Psychic Immortal Fruit, this sort of thing, was too precious. Not everybody could obtain it.
The old palace lord also only had that one in his hands. It was left to Bai Chen.
And now, Ye Yuan casually gave him a medicinal pill that could break through this heavenly chasm. How could he not be agitated?
This medicinal pill was called Jade Dragon Heaven Glimpse Pill, a pill formula in Dustless's hands.
When Ye Yuan was practicing medicinal pills, he casually refined it.
This medicinal pill was a pinnacle-most existence among Tier 1 medicinal pills, capable of increasing the chances of a martial artis
t's breakthrough.
This was especially true for half-step Heaven Glimpse powerhouses. They already had a certain understanding of Heaven Glimpse Realm. Consuming the Jade Dragon Heaven Glimpse Pill, the effects were naturally greatly increased.
As long as Mo Yun's talent was not too poor, breaking through to Heaven Glimpse should not be an issue.
Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a faint smile, "Presumably, you guys also know, I'm not devoid of d.e.s.i.r.es or requests by helping you all. Just take this as a bit of repayment."
Mo Yun and Bai Chen trembled all over, their gazes revealing a complicated look.
Chapter 1420 - With Me Around, You Can Be Capricious!
Above the sky, several dozen figures whistled past, with a shocking commotion.
With so many Deity Realm powerhouses moving out at the same time, this was absolutely an extremely rare situation in the Sky Foothill World.
The mortals were all guessing that some earth-shaking major incident must have happened, and that was why there were so many major figures moving out at the same time.
Deity Realm powerhouses traveled ten thousand miles in a twinkle. Three days later, the White Night Sacred Palace and the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace's Deity Realm powerhouses finally met on a narrow path!
The person in the front ranks of the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace was an old geezer. Seeing the White Night Sacred Palace's people, he could not help being surprised.
He already got the news that the White Night Palace Lord, Bai Yehai, was poisoned and died. Hence, he brought a large group of experts and charged over.
It was just that he did not expect that the White Night Sacred Palace's people actually dared to charge right out.
He swept a glance through the crowd and said with a big laugh, "Where is Bai Yehai that old thing? Why didn't he come? He didn't dare to come, so he sent you, a little child, here to court death? Hahaha …"
Bai Chen was angered until he was trembling all over. He pointed at the other party and said furiously, "Huo Tianyang, you're shameless!"
This Huo Tianyang was precisely the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace's palace lord, a grand completion Heaven Glimpse Realm powerhouse!
And the White Night Sacred Palace's internal strife was precisely plotted by him singlehandedly.
