In all fairness, Ye Yuan's contributions to Wu Meng Academy far exceeded his demands.
He did not owe anything to Wu Meng Academy.
On the contrary, Wu Meng Academy's way of doing things made him utterly disappointed.
"Turns out that the Qin Family was actually so overboard to Ye Yuan. No wonder Ye Yuan was so indignant and wanted to kill his fellow disciples. Turns out that it was to take revenge for his brother!"
"Qin Yuanlong was an Origin Deity Realm great expert. To actually ambush a Grotto Profound Realm junior, it's really too shameless."
"The matters previously, Ye Yuan endured them. This time, him rampaging and killing people is to take revenge for his brother. Ye Yuan is kind and just!"
"Really can't understand, Ye Yuan has such terrifying talent, why is City Lord so biased towards the Qin Family! No wonder the Qin Family has been acting more and more in a tyrannous manner these few years. Turns out that it's City Lord backing them up!"
...
Ye Yuan's words aroused many people's sympathy.
The Qin Family and City Lord Manor coercing like so, this was clearly forcing people to drastic alternatives.
For Ye Yuan to be able to endure until now was already incredibly not easy.
Qin Zhaoyun saw that the situation was not right and said with a cold snort, "Razor-tongue that talks glibly! You're clearly counting on that you made contributions, so you consider everyone beneath your notice, harming your fellow disciples. Now, you actually dare to resort to sophistry! Han Tian, this old man is only asking you, moving aside or not?!"
Han Tian was just about to speak when Ye Yuan said in a clear voice, "Today's matter, this Ye will shoulder it alone! Senior Han, thank you very much for these few years of care. If this Ye is lucky to get away today, I'll definitely repay generously in the future! Xie Jingyi and Miss Wanru will be entrusted to Senior Han!"
Han Tian opened his mouth and truly did not know what he should say.
Even if he fought to the bitter end with these three people, he could not save Ye Yuan either.
Three mighty half-step Divine Lord powerhouses were not what he alone could contend with.
Qin Zhaoyun smiled coldly and said, "Lucky to get away? A measly initial-stage Heaven Glimpse really dares to talk! Today, if you don't die, I, this Qin, will never meet anyone again!"
Ye Yuan looked at Qin Zhaoyun and said with a sneer, "Old fart, your face can't meet people long ago! But you rest assured, this Ye will make your Qin Family completely disappear one day!"
Qin Zhaoyun laughed from extreme fury and said, "Shamelessly boasting brat! This old man wants to take a look today at how you're going to make the Qin Family disappear!"
At this time, Wen Yiyang sighed slightly and said with a complicated expression, "Ye Yuan, your talent is astonishing, why is there a need to disparage yourself? Surrender without resistance, this old man will help you beg City Lord for leniency. He'll definitely give you a way out!"
Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a cold smile, "Does Academy Head really take this Ye to be a three-year-old kid? Although this Ye has never met that Wu Meng City Lord, he and the Qin Family are obviously acting in collusion. If I really surrender, can you protect me?"
Wen Yiyang opened his mouth and was actually speechless.
Actually, he also did not know what was the relationship between City Lord and the Qin Family. But the various signs indeed showed that City Lord and the Qin Family were closely related.
Actually, him coming forward this time was also City Lord personally sending him word, making him persuade Ye Yuan back.
It was just that Ye Yuan was clearly not so easy to deceive. He had long seen through the signs behind this.
"Heh, talking anymore is useless! Old bastard, if you have the ability, come and try chasing me today!"
Ye Yuan smiled coldly at Qin Zhaoyun, his figure instantly vanishing from where he was.
"So fast!"
Everyone had yet to react to what was going on when Ye Yuan already turned into a small black dot, vanishing into the horizons.
This sword maneuvering flight's speed was actually more than several times faster than before!
Qin Zhaoyun's expression changed, divine essence urging frenziedly, chasing over in the direction Ye Yuan disappeared.
Zhao Yi and Wen Yiyang's faces also revealed surprised looks, not expect that Ye Yuan's speed was actually so fast.
Ye Yuan's figure turned into a stream of flowing light, like a comet in the sky, a thousand miles in a twinkle.
"Damn it, how can this brat's sword maneuvering flight's speed be so fast?' Qin Zhaoyun said exasperatedly.
Zhao Yi's expression was ugly too and he said in a solemn voice, "No way, at this rate, we'll lose him!"
Wen Yiyang did not speak. He felt like his heart was dripping blood.
A genius like Ye Yuan should originally be a most glorious stroke in his, the academy head's career. But did not expect that it became this kind of outcome.
"Hahaha … old dog, looks like you really have no face to meet people in the future! Got to remember what you said!"
Ye Yuan's voice slowly transmitted over from the front. He had completely no respect for them, three great half-step Divine Lord powerhouses.
Although half-step Divine Lord powerhouses were able to fly, it was clearly not their forte.
In comparison, after Ye Yuan broke through to Heaven Glimpse Realm, it was his first time deploying sword maneuvering flight at full power. Those few half-baked dabblers could not catch up at all.
But right at this moment, Ye Yuan's expression changed. A horrifying aura descended from the sky.
In an instant, Ye Yuan seemed to have fallen into a quagmire, unable to extricate himself!
Chapter 1458 - Power of the World!
The entire sky seemed to be distorted.
Ye Yuan felt that there was a vast power ahead. His entire person seemed to have gotten stuck in a cloud of cotton, unable to break free no matter what.
"It's the power of the world! That Wu Meng City Lord came in person!" Dustless's voice sounded out in Ye Yuan's mind.
Ye Yuan's heart abruptly sunk to the bottom of the valley. What he was most worried about was this Wu Meng City Lord. He did not expect that this guy really made a move.
He originally thought that this Wu Meng City Lord disdained to bother with such things.
It looked like he really miscalculated this time!
This Wu Meng City Lord's relationship with the Qin Family was even more extraordinary than he imagined.
Ye Yuan knew that he could not escape anymore and simply gave up resistance.
At this time, Qin Zhaoyun trio finally caught up.
Seeing the situation, Qin Zhaoyun burst into laughter and said, "Brat, aren't you very good at running? Run for me to see!"
Ye Yuan said disdainfully, "Ate a face-full of dust following behind your little lord, still dare to bullshit. Your skin is really thick enough!"
Qin Zhaoyun's face fell and he said fiercely, "Brat, you're courting death!"
Qin Zhaoyun did not say another word, directly smacking a palm at Ye Yuan.
Boom!
The powerful attack force seemed to have hit onto a ball of sponge. Ye Yuan was entangled by the power of the world and could not avoid it at all, forcefully receiving this palm.
"Puhwark!"
Ye Yuan spewed fresh blood wildly from his mouth, his body drifting down toward the ground like a kite with a broken string.
But the power of the world still wrapped around him, making him float in the air and not land.
If not for the power of the world withstanding most of the power, Ye Yuan would already be a dead man right away no.
"Heh, brat, weren't you very arrogant just now? Be arrogant again for me to see!"
Qin Zhaoyun's move succeeding, he immediately felt unusually liberated.
"Old dog! You remember it for me, all of this today, this young lord will return it a hundr
ed-fold in the future!" Ye Yuan glared and said through gnashed teeth.
"Heh heh, are you, brat, still dreaming? Even Lord Qin Xiao has taken action. You still think you have a future?" Qin Zhaoyun said with a smug look.
The moment Qin Zhaoyun's words came out, not just Ye Yuan, Zhao Yi and Wen Yiyang's expressions changed.
The city lord was actually surnamed Qin!
This way, everything could be explained!
No wonder these few years, the Qin Family summoned the wind and commanded the rain in Wu Meng Capital City, suppressing the other major families, outshining the others.
No wonder the Qin Family's disciples were so c.o.c.ky, but the City Lord Manor turned a blind eye to it.
Everything originated from the city lord's surname!
"Zhaoyun, you spoke too much!"
An icy-cold voice sounded out. A mighty middle-aged man walked out of the void.
Ye Yuan's gaze turned intent. This middle-aged man was precisely that middle-aged man he saw during the entrance examination!
Seeing Qin Xiao, Qin Zhaoyun's expression involuntarily changed and he said with a bow, "Yes, City Lord, Your Excellency! Zhaoyun knows his mistake!"
Qin Xiao grunted his assent and said coolly, "This city lord is the Qin Family's foster son and not a member of the Qin Family Clan. After you all hear it today, you're not allowed to mention it to others again!"
Feeling Qin Xiao's profound gaze, Wen Yiyang and Zhao Yi both got a shock and hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes, City Lord, Your Excellency!"
In Wu Meng Capital City, Qin Xiao virtually did not show face in front of people. No one knew his surname before either.
This matter, probably even Qin Tiannan did not know.
Only Qin Zhaoyun, this kind of Qin Family's top existence, knew Qin Xiao's true identity.
More than 100 thousand years ago, Qin Xiao received the Qin Family's great kindness, that was how he had today's accomplishments.
It was just that far too long had passed, no one remembered it anymore.
Qin Xiao slowly turned around, looked at Ye Yuan, and said indifferently, "Ye Yuan, your talent is outstanding, your future accomplishments will surely surpass this city lord's in the future. It's too bad, you shouldn't have become enemies with the Qin Family."
Ye Yuan glared at Qin Xiao and did not have the slightest fear toward a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse as he spat and said, "Pooh! You can't tell right from wrong, condoning the Qin Family to engage in lawlessness. You're not worthy of being the city lord! If I'd know it would come to this, this young lord should have cleaved that Four-star divine pill back then with a sword, so as to avoid feeding a dog!"
"Hiss …"
Wen Yiyang and Zhao Yi were both shocked hearing it. There was actually someone who dared to speak this way to a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse!
This boy was really lawless and unbridled!
Rather, Qin Zhaoyun sneered coldly in his heart.
Scold, the more viciously you scold, the faster you die!
However, Qin Xiao's self-restraint was much better than Ye Yuan imagined.
He just said coolly, "The Qin Family was kind to me, what's wrong with this city lord doing so? After coming back from the Hundred Cities Smelting Trial, this city lord already hinted to you to not be enemies with the Qin Family, but you were impervious to reason and advice. Not only did you remain impenitent, you actually went from bad to worse!"
Ye Yuan burst into laughter when he heard that and said, "Remain impenitent? Hahaha … really making your grandfather die of laughter! Who the hell are you, to dare make Grandpa Ye repent?"
The three people at the back quaked in their boots listening. This Ye Yuan was really too wild. That was a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse, a god-like existence!
Don't look at how the three of them were all half-step Divine Lord Realm, in front of a Divine Lord Realm, it was completely not enough to look at.
Divine Lord Realm powerhouses opened up a small world and possessed the augmentation of the power of the world. It was completely not what Divine Dao Three Realms people were able to imagine.
The closer one was to the Divine Lord Realm, the more awe they had toward this realm!
People able to reach this step, not one was not a peerless genius.
However, Ye Yuan did not place Qin Xiao in his eyes at all!
Qin Xiao swept a glance over Ye Yuan and said coolly, "This world is originally the strong reigning supreme! I control a region of the world, taking charge of a capital city. I ask you to repent, you have to repent! The outcome of not repenting … is death!"
Finished talking, Qin Xiao lightly tapped a finger out. A terrifying aura instantly condensed.
Qin Zhaoyun trio all had solemn looks when they saw this.
This was the strength of a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse!
"Now is the time!"
Ye Yuan's gaze turned intent, his figure suddenly bursting forth, rushing out like an arrow that had left the string.
Qin Zhaoyun trio had stunned looks. Qin Xiao's gaze turned intent too.
Ye Yuan actually broke through his power of the world!
An initial-stage Heaven Glimpse brat actually broke through a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse's power of the world!
This … This was simply an unthinkable thing!
This matter was even more astonishing than Ye Yuan killing five great geniuses.
Ye Yuan urged divine essence to the limit, fleeing desperately.
Resigning himself to death had never been his, Ye Yuan's, style.
As long as there was a trace of hope, he would put in 100% effort!
The so-called power of the world was merely a type of application of Heavenly Dao.
It seemed profound and unfathomable, but Ye Yuan had the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain!
He was shouting abuses with Qin Xiao and the rest on the surface. Actually, he was secretly communicating with the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain the entire time.
He could imitate the Sky Foothill World's Heavenly Dao, he could naturally break apart Qin Xiao's power of the world!
After being thunderstricken, the corner of Qin Xiao's mouth smiled coldly and he said, "Somewhat interesting, but … it's useless!"
While talking, Qin Xiao took a step out, instantly moving a thousand miles!
Ye Yuan's speed was already quick to the extreme but was instantly surpassed by Qin Xiao!
"I very much want to see just what secrets you have on you." Qin Xiao smiled as he pointed a finger. Ye Yuan felt that the entire world was crushing toward him.
Swoosh!
Qin Xiao's gaze turned intent. Ye Yuan actually disappeared before his eyes!
Chapter 1459 - Sowing Cause Begets Effect, Sowing Karma Begets Fruit
A vast power of the world suddenly burst out, colliding together with Qin Xiao's power of the world.
Boom!
A terrifying undulation rippled out, directly sending Qin Zhaoyun trio flying out.
The three people were actually seriously injured being caught off-guard.
Fortunately, they were far enough away. Otherwise, just this aftershock alone was sufficient to kill them.
The showdown between Divine Lord Realm powerhouses was dreadfully powerful.
Qin Xiao's gaze turned intent, revealing an extremely surprised look.
Qin Xiao said in surprise, "It's actually you!"
The arrival said coolly, "Otherwise, who do you think it will be?"
Qin Xiao smiled and shook his head as he said, "I didn't expect that Han Tian didn't break through first, but you broke through first. It really surprised me! No wonder you were in seclusion for so many years, it was actually to assault the Divine Lord Realm!"
When Qin Zhaoyun trio saw that figure facing Qin Xiao from far away, the astonishment in their gazes could not be any greater.
They never dreamed that this person actually broke through to the Divine Lord Realm!
In Wu Meng Capital City, there were four great half-step Divin
e Lord powerhouses.
Everyone all felt that these four half-step Divine Lord powerhouses were the most promising to break through to Divine Lord Realm.
But no one could have expected that this person actually broke through.
This person was none other than precisely the Myriad Treasure Tower's chief alchemist who had already been in closed-seclusion for several decades, Xiao Feng!
Several decades of closed-seclusion made everyone virtually almost forget this person.
However, when he exited seclusion again, he was actually on a completely different level from them already.
Qin Zhaoyun trio looked at Xiao Feng's figure, their faces full of envy and puzzlement.
Why was this person Xiao Feng and not them?
Xiao Feng said coolly, "For this old man to be able to break through to the Divine Lord Realm, it was all thanks to Little Friend Ye Yuan. Hope that City Lord Your Excellency will give Ye Yuan a way out on the account of this old man's face."
The moment these words came out, everyone's faces, inclusive of Qin Xiao, all changed.
Xiao Feng breaking through to the Divine Lord Realm was actually related to Ye Yuan?
No wonder the Myriad Treasure Tower shielded Ye Yuan like that. It turned out that it was actually this reason!
Back then, Xiao Feng seemed to have personally made a trip to Jewelhill City. After coming back, he directly announced closed-seclusion.
Could it be that … Ye Yuan really had this kind of magic power, to actually be able to help others break through to the Divine Lord Realm?
Qin Zhaoyun trio exchanged glances, gazes all revealing a scorching look.
Divine Lord Realm was seriously too tempting to the three of them.
Qin Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly and he said with a faint smile, "According to Heavenly Emperor His Excellency's rules, since you already broke through to the Divine Lord Realm, you shouldn't stay in my Wu Meng Capital City anymore, right?"
Xiao Feng's face sunk and he said, "After this matter, this Xiao will naturally leave! But concerning Ye Yuan, this old man is protecting him for sure!"
Because the Myriad Treasure Tower was an outside force, they naturally did not allow an existence in the city that could threaten the city lord.
