Ye Yuan said in a cold voice, "Since you're seeking death, then I'll grant you your wish!"
Suddenly, Ye Yuan's body surged with fiendish energy, directly turning into an afterimage, charging over toward Lang Ge.
Lang Ge was originally still snickering. But the moment Ye Yuan moved, his expression could not help changing greatly!
Too fast!
However, Lang Ge was a grand completion Two-star Fiend General at any rate. His strength could not be underestimated.
His gaze turned intent. Raising an iron fist, he smashed over toward Ye Yuan.
Boom!
The two people collided together without any flashiness. Lang Ge's body directly flew out backward, but Ye Yuan did not budge an inch.
When those few women saw this scene, each and every one of their gazes revealed an astonished look.
They all thought that Ye Yuan was a flower vase. Did not expect that his strength was actually so formidable!
Middle-level Two-star versus high-level Two-star, he actually occupied such a huge advantage!
Lang Ge's figure had yet to land when Ye Yuan's figure moved again!
Pfft!
Lang Ge's head directly exploded; his fiend soul ground into pieces by Ye Yuan's sword intent.
Under everyone's astonished gaze, Ye Yuan put away the sword and slowly walked into the city.
Those fiend race women abruptly startled awake, all of their faces revealing incomparably besotted expressions as they swarmed over like bees.
"Goodness, handsome, not only are you good-looking, your strength is actually so formidable too! Truly the prince charming of my dreams!"
"This is a man! Lang Ge that weakling, a pewter spearhead that shines like silver; looks good but useless!"
"Handsome, you're so strong! Hua Rong really loves you to death, leave with Elder Sister!"
...
Chapter 1476 - Unexpected Encounter!
"Get lost!"
Ye Yuan's face fell as he yelled coldly to those few fiend race women.
An icy-cold killing intent spread out. Those fiend race women all turned white as a sheet, involuntarily retreating.
If it were before, they would definitely not take Ye Yuan's berating seriously, but go over and flirt instead.
But now, Ye Yuan killed Lang Ge with two sword moves. Who would still dare to not take him seriously?
All the girls made way. Ye Yuan slowly walked past from the middle, heading toward the city gates.
Fiend race territory, killing people on the streets, this sort of thing, was very common. Those capital city guards could not even be bothered to give it a glance.
The fiend race was this kind of place; it was where the weak were prey to the strong until it was terrifying.
As long as you were strong enough, you could obtain respect.
If you were too weak, either submit or die; it was that simple.
Hence, Ye Yuan did not have the least bit of psychological burden regarding killing Lang Ge.
Ye Yuan was just about to enter the city when an old man suddenly blocked his path.
"Little Brother, our family's master sees that your skills are pretty good and wants to invite you to join the Fan Family. I wonder what do you think?" The old man went straight to the point.
Ye Yuan swept a glance over him and said coolly, "Oh? What are the terms?"
Inside the fiend race cities, martial artists had to join a faction. Otherwise, they would be devoured until not even dregs remained.
Entering the city today, their corpse might be strewn on the streets tomorrow.
Two fists were no match for four hands. No matter how powerful one's strength was, it could not match people's numbers too.
In the capital city, there was no lack of Origin Deity Realm powerhouses. Even if it was Ye Yuan who ran into them, it would be certain death too.
The old man smiled and said, "Little Brother's strength is outstanding, able to kill grand completion Two-star while being at middle-level Two-star. This level of strength, it's naturally much better than other guest retainers. Our family's missus said, as long as you agree to join the Fan Family, your treatment will be twice that of ordinary grand completion Two-star guest retainers!"
Ye Yuan was slightly surprised, but his gaze turned toward Li Ji who was on the fierce beast.
Li Ji seemed to have been paying attention to the commotion over here all along. Seeing Ye Yuan raise his head, a hint of a smile actually flashed across her face.
That look, that boldness, fieriness, fervor, made people unable to refuse!
"Tsk tsk, this fiend race woman really has another charm when she smiles!" Ye Yuan sighed emotionally in his heart.
Ye Yuan had to admit, this Li Ji was also not the slightest bit inferior compared to the human race's unrivaled beauties.
Ye Yuan thought about it and said with a nod, "Deal! But I still have a condition!"
The old man smiled and said, "What condition is there, feel free to mention it."
Ye Yuan said coldly, "I want five slaves!"
The moment the old man heard, he chuckled and said, "I was wondering what condition it was, even if you don't mention this matter, we'll also prepare it for you. The Fan Family's guest retainers will each be assigned with three slaves. As for little brother, you, five is naturally no issue."
Ye Yuan nodded his head and pointed to a middle-aged man in Li Ji's squadron, saying, "Okay, but … this person, I want him!"
The old man turned around to look, his face could not help revealing a difficult look as he said, "This … Although he's a slave, he's one of Miss Li Ji's guards and is deeply trusted by the young lady. This probably … isn't appropriate, right?"
Ye Yuan grinned and said, "Heh, is this the sincerity you speak of? I know that your Fan Family's strength is very powerful, but it's also not to the extent where I have to go! Can't meet eye to eye, so long!"
Done talking, Ye Yuan waved his hand and was about to enter the city.
Suddenly, a figure stopped Ye Yuan's path. It was precisely Li Ji.
Her pair of beautiful eyes stared at Ye Yuan and said with a smile, "A mere demon race slave, what's the harm in gifting to Sir? Since Sir likes him, just take him."
In the fiend race, humans and demons could only be reduced to the lowest-ranking slaves, regardless of how powerful their strength.
Ye Yuan laughed loudly and said, "It's still Miss Li Ji who is straightforward! Miss Li Ji, rest assured. You get what you pay for, Source Night won't disappoint the young lady! It's just that I got to have some errand boys under me and need a capable and experienced fellow to manage."
Source Night was the fiend race name that Ye Yuan gave himself. It was just reversing the name Ye Yuan1.
Ye Yuan this name was too different from the fiend race's.
Li Ji smiled and said, "Li Ji understands! Sir's strength indeed makes Li Ji very surprised. In the future, I'll have to rely on sir more."
Ye Yuan swept a glance around and said with a big laugh, "Did Miss Li Ji see their looks? For me to be able to do things by Miss Li Ji's side, they are endlessly envious! Source Night is a guy too; to be able to serve Miss Li Ji, it's my honor!"
But Li Ji was all smiles when she heard and said, "Sir Source Night really knows how to speak. Then let's return to the Fan Family."
The fiend race admired the strong. The strength that Ye Yuan displayed just now was taken into Li Ji's sight fully. Plus, Ye Yuan's looks were handsome, her fiend race woman's personality also showed itself.
That cold beauty was like a blooming flower at this time.
The gazes that the surrounding people looked toward Ye Yuan with were full of envy.
In the entire Capone Capital City, those able to make Miss Li Ji laugh so happily were not many!
Clearly, Ye Yuan made her mood very good.
To be able to talk in a jovial manner with Miss Li Ji, even if they died, they were willing too!
Li Ji came before that demon race slave and s
aid coolly, "In the future, you'll follow Sir Source Night!"
The slave bowed and said, "Yes, Miss Li Ji. Long Zhan pays respect to Master1!"
Ye Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of an indiscernible smile appearing at the corners of his mouth.
Li Ji forced out a mark from her glabella, struck it towards Ye Yuan, and said, "This is Long Zhan's slave seal. In the future, he's yours."
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Many thanks for Miss Li Ji's generosity. This chap looks rather smart. I settled on him at a glance."
Li Ji smiled and said, "Sir Source Night has such sharp eyes. Among my guards, he's the smartest."
Ye Yuan had a pleased look too, accepting it calmly.
In the fiend race, modesty and whatnot would never be regarded as a virtue but would be beneath contempt instead.
With strength, then one could be arrogant, one could be lawless!
With strength, one could accept other people's praises!
Strength was everything!
Ethical code and moral principles, these things, were all rubbish in the fiend race territory.
"Sir Source Night, let's go back to the Fan Family!"
Li Ji rode the fierce beast and brought the group of people back to the Fan Family.
The Fan Family was one of Capone Capital City's four great families. The clan's strength was immense.
Li Ji was the Fan Family's beloved daughter, Capone Capital City's top-rate beauty, admired by countless fiend race men.
However, Ye Yuan naturally wasn't really charmed by Li Ji that he agreed to join the Fan Family.
In reality, Ye Yuan killing people in rage outside the city gates was deliberately displaying his strength for Li Ji to see.
Sure enough, after Li Ji saw his strength, she came to solicit him.
And the reason for Ye Yuan doing so was for this slave: Long Zhan!
When Long Zhan approached him, the Sacred Dragon Token reacted.
In the Heavenspan World, who could make the Sacred Dragon Token have a reaction?
The answer was already self-evident!
Ye Yuan did not think that coming to Capone Capital City, he could actually meet a person who could make the Sacred Dragon Token have a reaction! Although the pinyin looks the same, the characters are different. They just have the same pronunciation. In order to not confuse anyone, I decided to go for an English name rather than going Yuan Ye and Ye Yuan back and forth. This way, it's clearer when he's being addressed as a fiend.The Long in Long Zhan is dragon, hint hint.
Chapter 1477 - Finally Solving the Mystery
Returning to the Fan Family, Ye Yuan received the token representing a guest retainer's identity. They arranged for his residence, and he also received a guest retainer's salary as well as four slaves. Only then it was considered done.
Coming to the courtyard where he stayed, Ye Yuan got rid of his attendants, leaving behind Long Zhan alone.
The current Long Zhan was already much older than that clone Ye Yuan encountered in the land of inheritance.
Clearly, these few years of slave life changed him significantly.
If not for the Sacred Dragon Token reacting, Ye Yuan would not even recognize him.
As for that clone, it naturally withered away between heaven and earth. It was impossible for it to pass through the World Locking Gate and come to the Heavenspan World.
Ye Yuan sized him up with an amused look, making Long Zhan very uneasy.
In the fiend race, if the master was unhappy, they could take the slave's life.
"Do you know why I kept you behind alone?" Ye Yuan suddenly opened his mouth and said.
Long Zhan clasped his hands and said with a fl.u.s.tered look, "Master … should have some matters to instruct!"
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Heh, I didn't expect that the dignified lord of the dragon race actually ended up in such a plight today. A pity … lamentable!"
Long Zhan's entire body trembled, his eyes glued onto Ye Yuan, monstrous waves stirring up in his heart.
"Why … Why does Master say this?"
The shock in Long Zhan's heart could not be any greater. In the Heavenspan World, apart from those who came out of the Immortal Grove Region together, nobody knew about it at all.
But this new master of his blurted it out straight away.
Ye Yuan held his palm out. A small and exquisite fire rod appeared in his hand.
Long Zhan was no longer able to remain calm. His entire body trembled, staring fixedly at the Sacred Dragon Token. He opened his mouth, but could not say anything.
"You shouldn't be unfamiliar with this thing, right?" Ye Yuan said with a smile.
Thud!
Long Zhan directly knelt down and gave three deep kowtows towards the Sacred Dragon Token.
When he raised his head again, tears already covered his face.
Over 100 thousand years, what was once the sea had now changed into mulberry fields.
But the former leader of the dragon race ended up a slave to others, his life and death at other people's whim.
Agitating surging in his heart for a period of time, how could Long Zhan still control himself?
"M-Master, could it be … could it be that you've been to Long Zhan's hometown?" Long Zhan asked carefully.
He could not see through Ye Yuan's actual situation and even thought that Ye Yuan sneaked into the Immortal Grove World and obtained the Sacred Dragon Token by chance.
"Heh!"
Ye Yuan gave a cold laugh. The Sacred Dragon Token emitted a dazzling light. A gust of whirlwind rose from the ground up, but it was limited to within a range of 30 feet.
Long Zhan's gaze turned intent and he said in terror, "The … The Sacred Dragon Token … acknowledged Master! This … How is this possible?"
Members of the fiend race might be able to sneak into the Immortal Grove World and might be able to obtain the Sacred Dragon Token. But it was absolutely impossible to get the Sacred Dragon Token to acknowledge him as its master!
The Sacred Dragon Token was personally forged by the sacred ancestor with bloodline power. Even members of the dragon race could not possibly obtain the Sacred Dragon Token's recognition either.
Those able to get the Sacred Dragon Token to acknowledge them as its master were only the lords of the dragon race!
But now, the Sacred Dragon Token actually acknowledged a fiend as its master, how could he not be shocked?
Suddenly, the aura on Ye Yuan's body changed. The rolling fiendish energy retreated like the tide, turning back into the original Ye Yuan.
Long Zhan was simply about to break down. His master was actually a human?
He disguised as a fiend and all of the fiends actually could not tell!
Suddenly, Long Zhan's gaze turned intent and he said in shock, "Could Master … have come out of the Immortal Grove World?"
Ye Yuan grinned and said, "You're not considered too stupid! That's right, I'm the same as you, coming from the Immortal Grove World."
Long Zhan's expression changed and he said in disbelief, "Impossible! The Immortal Grove World's Heavenly Dao is already lost. It's impossible for someone to pass through the spatial turbulent flow anymore!"
Ye Yuan's expression suddenly turned cold and he said in a deep voice, "I'm just telling you a fact, not gaining your trust. Don't forget your current identity!"
Long Zhan's entire body trembled, his aura immediately cowering, suddenly becoming incomparably humble as he said, "Forgive my mistake, Master!"
Ye Yuan's tone eased up slightly. Looking at Long Zhan, he said with a cold smile, "Do you feel that you and I share the same roots, and furthermore, I obtained the Sacred Dragon Token's inheritance and should be endlessly grateful to you, and let you go free?"
Long Zhan's heart thumped, his heart sinking to rock-bottom.
What Ye Yuan said was completely right. After he was shocked, he was secretly rejoicing.
Since Ye Yuan obtained the Sacred Dragon Token's inheritance, furthermore, originated from
the Immortal Grove World, it was impossible to not help him!
Just now, he was actually wildly elated in his heart.
But now, the situation did not seem quite right.
"This … This lowly one dare not!" Long Zhan said aggrievedly.
Ye Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, his eyes shot out a ray of cold light as he said coldly, "If not looking on the account of the Sacred Dragon Token, the moment I saw you, I'd think of ways to kill you!"
A piercing cold killing intent pounced from head-on, virtually asphyxiating Long Zhan.
Ye Yuan currently grasped the slave seal. He only needed a thought and could make his soul disperse!
"Don't tell me that you all, these Deity Realm powerhouses, don't know the Immortal Grove World's fiend calamity! You all abandoned Immortal Grove World's billions of lives for your own selfishness. So on what basis … should I save you?" Ye Yuan continued coldly.
Toward them, these Deity Realm powerhouses who left Immortal Grove, Ye Yuan was filled with resentment in his heart.
If not for his sudden emergence, breaking through to Deity Realm at the final juncture, the entire Immortal Grove World would have already become purgatory on earth right now!
Long Zhan was silent like cicadas in winter and did not dare to refute at all.
The long life of a slave made him become extremely cautious and timid.
He knew that right now, if he spoke one more word, it could draw down a fatal disaster.
"Recount the events back then in detail. If there's any bit of concealment, you know the consequences!" Ye Yuan said coldly.
Long Zhan did not dare to hide, saying the events back then as exactly as they were.
Back then, they were eager to leave the Immortal Grove World. On one hand, it was because Heavenly Dao was damaged. On the other hand, it was also because they dreaded the fiend race.
Because at that time, the Immortal Grove World was already unable to give birth to Origin Deity Realm powerhouses anymore. They were completely powerless to face the catastrophe of the fiend race.
These two things were like two large mountains, weighing on all of the Deity Realm powerhouses' hearts.
Finally, after an equilibrium that extended as long as ten thousand years, all of the Deity Realm powerhouses finally reached an agreement, escaping out of the Immortal Grove Region!
