But these veiled words uttered by Ye Yuan were really not impossible!
The matter back then, he also knew a little bit.
The fiend race's Celestial Deity powerhouse made a move and ambushed them. Everyone all thought that Ye Yuan had died. However, not only did he not die, he even obtained the treasure in the end.
Clearly, Ye Yuan had the means to protect himself.
With this trump card, he did not fear others, even Celestial Deity powerhouses!
Actually, He Chong was also very perplexed. With Ye Yuan's terrifying talent, why would he be stranded in front of Divine Lord Realm?"
There was likely something that he did not know involved!
He Chong had a feeling that once Ye Yuan broke through to the Divine Lord Realm, he would probably be like a carp leaping over the dragon gate, becoming a heaven-shocking powerhouse!
Only after weighing and considering things again and again did He Chong slowly say, "Ye Yuan toiled hard and rendered great merits. The Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain belongs to him in the first place, don't mention it again any longer after this!"
Ruo Xu could not help suffocating when he heard that. Grand Elder actually took a step back!
Chapter 1642 - Pursuit
Ye Yuan's departure was somewhat shabby. Apart from Xuan Yu's lineage, Coldfeather, and Zheng Qi, there were no others who saw him off.
Coldfeather patted Ye Yuan's shoulder and encouraged him, saying, "Kid, you can do it. This old man is waiting for the day you leap over the dragon gate."
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I've never doubted this before."
Coldfeather laughed loudly when he heard that and said, "Fine lad, such a composed young man like you, it's still my first time seeing. However, this departure has a long way to go, you have to be more careful!"
Ordinary geniuses, if they were stuck for so many years at a realm, they would definitely not want to live in and abandon themselves to despair.
But Coldfeather completely could not see this kind of negative emotion on Ye Yuan.
He was still positive and optimistic, giving people a calm and composed feeling.
This also gave Coldfeather and the rest a lot of confidence, making them feel that Ye Yuan could definitely break through.
Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Rest assured, this Ye still has some means to protect myself. You guys just quietly wait for the news of success. It's just that, I'm unable to treat Head Elder Zheng Qi for the time being."
Zheng Qi was currently very under the weather, but he definitely could manage to hang on to his life.
Hearing that Ye Yuan was leaving, Zheng Qi still insisted on coming to see him off.
Zheng Qi smiled and said, "If not for you, this old man wouldn't even be able to save this remnant life. Now that Master's great enmity is avenged, this old man no longer has any attachments in my heart. You rest assured and go. Even if this old man holds on, I'll also have to hold out until the day you return!"
Seeing that Zheng Qi's mental state was pretty good, Ye Yuan also smiled and nodded.
At one side, Ning Siyu was very unhappy, and muttered to herself, "Ning Tianping that fellow is really ungrateful. Clearly agreed to come and send off, but he actually didn't."
Over 300 years had passed, Ning Siyu also broke through to the Divine Lord Realm already now, becoming a Four-star Alchemy God.
This was also the point that was denounced by everyone.
Ning Siyu was also considered half a disciple of Ye Yuan. Now, even the apprentice broke through, but the master still remained at the Origin Deity Realm. It was simply incurring the ridicule of experts.
But Ning Siyu herself did not have this kind of thought. She was very grateful to Ye Yuan.
Without Ye Yuan, it was impossible for her to break through so fast, and even less possible to have her present attainments in Alchemy Dao presently.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "If Heaven wishes it to rain or your mother to remarry, there is no way to stop it. For you guys to be able to come, I'm already very grateful."
A friend in need is a friend indeed!
How many true friends you had did not depend on how many people surrounded you when you had high authority and power. It depended on how many people talked and laughed with you when you fell down to the ground from high above.
Clearly, these people in front of Ye Yuan were his precious friends in Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.
But Ning Tianping not coming was somewhat outside of Ye Yuan's expectations.
With his understanding of Ning Tianping, he should not be so snobbish.
Unless he concealed his character too well.
But a young master like Ning Tianping should not be so profoundly shrewd.
"Alright, although you escort a guest a thousand miles, the parting comes at last. Everyone, please return."
Ye Yuan cupped his fists toward everyone, bade farewell, and left.
...
In the Martial Tower, two people saw Ye Yuan off with their eyes.
"Brother Zuo, you are so optimistic about Ye Yuan?" He Chong asked the middle-aged man beside him.
To be able to make He Chong call Brother Zuo, this person was naturally that Heavenly Eagle Imperial City's City Lord, Zuo Shujie, whose movements and traces were elusive and secretive.
Zuo Shujie smiled and said, "This boy is definitely not someone who belongs in a shallow pond! What does a momentary setback count for? The one who has the last laugh is the true winner."
He Chong said in surprise, "Looking at his appearance, he has probably already exhausted his potential. Breaking through to the Divine Lord Realm will likely be very difficult. Geniuses like this are also not in the minority. In contrast, I still feel holding the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain in hand is a little more reliable."
Zuo Shujie looked at He Chong, shook his head, and laughed in spite of himself as he said, "Oh, you, take a long-term view! Do you think that the treasure on Ye Yuan is only an Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain?"
He Chong's expression changed and he said, "Oh yeah! It's because I wasn't sure, that's why I didn't act."
Zuo Shujie smiled and said, "Luckily, you didn't make a move. Otherwise, I'd have to personally take action to stop you!"
He Chong said in surprise, "Why is that?"
Zuo Shujie said, "Back then, when this child was still at the outer city, he attracted my attention. To have such terrifying talent in alchemy and martial arts, the secrets on Ye Yuan are definitely far more than just an Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain! And he's greatly different from ordinary young geniuses. He's level-headed, wise and farsighted, take every conceivable possibility into account, and is very broad-minded. Such a person, his mind is extremely tough, virtually equipped with all the conditions to become a peerless powerhouse! With his character, how could he easily put himself in danger?"
The more He Chong listened, the more alarmed he got, and he said, "Your meaning is?"
Even though the two people were Celestial Deity powerhouses, in terms of wit and cunningness, he was far lacking compared to Zuo Shujie.
Zuo Shujie said, "Back then, when this seat issued the edict, having him become a Pill Tower elder. If he refused, it means that he doesn't have the strength to protect himself. He possessed a massive secret on him. Once he has covetous eyes cast on him by Celestial Deity powerhouses, wouldn't it incur a deadly calamity? But if he agrees, what does that mean?"
He Chong's entire body trembled and said, "It means that he has the strength to protect himself without fear of us!"
Zuo Shujie smiled and said, "At least … we can't kill him! A person like him, once he can't be killed, the consequences will be very terrifying. That Wu Meng Capital City's Qin Xiao might be our future outcome!"
He Chong came to a realization, listening until he broke out in a cold sweat, and said, "So that's how it is! It's still Brother Zuo who considers things long and far! But since that's the case, there were many rumors floating around in the city. Why didn't you speak
up to stop it, or even urge Ye Yuan to stay?"
Zuo Shujie said, "It's true that he's a genius, but he's just a genius who hasn't grown up. Keeping him behind will only harm him. Moreover, with his personality, even if we want to keep him, we probably can't keep him behind either. Right now, the Divine Lord Realm is clearly a massive hurdle placed in front of him. Crossing it, it's a vast expanse of flat land. Can't cross it, fade into the crowd! However, through these few years of observation, I still have some confidence in him."
...
Ye Yuan did not know that Zuo Shujie's appraisal of him was actually so high.
Traveling swiftly along the way, he already traveled as far as a million years.
Inside a dense forest, Ye Yuan suddenly stopped.
Ye Yuan suddenly said, "This place is very out-of-the-way, it's precisely a fine place to kill and rob a person of his property. You guys not showing yourselves, when are you waiting for?"
He did not deploy the Purple Extreme Hall along the way, because the moment he left the city, he discovered several tails following behind.
Sure enough, the moment the voice faded, four figures dashed out of the dense forest, surrounding Ye Yuan in the middle.
A third-layered heaven Divine Lord powerhouse who was in the lead said with a cold laugh, "Heh, well-deserving of being an elder! We really underestimated you!"
This person, Ye Yuan knew him. He was called Hao Lian, a Martial Tower's high-level protector, and also Lin Dong's good friend.
Presumably, the pursuit this time was likely linked to Lin Dong.
"A third-layered heaven Divine Lord, three second-layered heaven Divine Lords, you guys really think highly of this Ye!" Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile.
Hao Liang had an appearance of cornering Ye Yuan and said with a smile, "Who doesn't know that even though Elder Ye is at the Origin Deity Realm, he has the strength to cut down first-layered heaven Divine Lords? Dealing with you, no matter how seriously we take it, it's not overboard too! But this lineup now, killing you should suffice."
But Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Isn't there still one more? Why don't you have him come out?"
The moment these words came out, Hao Liang four people's faces could not help changing.
Chapter 1643 - Tired of Living
"Kid, you're still a little inexperienced to want to scare us! If you're sensible, hurry up and hand over the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain. We'll make it painless for you."
Hao Liang's expression changed. Only four of them came, so where did this fifth person come from?
Did this boy make up a non-existence person, wanting to scare them, and then take the opportunity to escape?
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Turns out that you're aiming for the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain. Giving you the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain, can you afford to enjoy it?"
Hao Liang snorted coldly and said, "That doesn't need you to worry about! Sure enough, want to scam us, is it? Heh heh, where's the fifth person from?"
Hao Liang surveyed the four directions and discovered that no one came out, and became even more certain of his own guess.
Ye Yuan was rather surprised too. He even thought that these five people were together, looks like he guessed wrong.
Ye Yuan turned to a direction and said to a large tree coolly, "Still not showing yourself, do you want me to invite you out?"
Finished talking, a figure indeed floated down from the treetop.
"Ning Tianping!" Hao Liang cried out in shock.
He did not expect that there was actually really a fifth person existing.
Ye Yuan was similarly very surprised. He did not expect that this fifth person was actually Ning Tianping.
Ning Tianping looked at Ye Yuan and said with a helpless look, "Your Excellency, I originally wanted to ambush Hao Liang. Now, being called out by you, what am I going to do?"
Ye Yuan was indifferent and said with a laugh, "Just clay chickens and pottery dogs, why is there a need to sneak attack?"
Ning Tianping chuckled and said, "I knew that Your Excellency had the means. These few fools even thought that Your Excellency is easy to bully!"
These two people chorused together, not taking Hao Liang four people seriously at all.
Hao Liang was furious!
"Ye Yuan, you're no longer an elder now. Do you really think that you're impressive? A mere Ning Tianping, could he still save you?" Hao Liang said with a cold snort.
Ning Tianping looked at Hao Liang and said with a disdainful look, "His Excellency's means, you can never imagine it! Even if I don't come, do you think that you can kill him?"
Hao Liang smiled coldly and said, "What a joke! A measly Origin Deity Realm, even if he knows spatial laws, could it be he still wants to escape alive from the hands of us four? Leave Ning Tianping to me, the three of you, kill Ye Yuan for me!"
"Yes!" the three people answered, swarming over toward Ye Yuan.
While Hao Liang's figure moved, charging over toward Ning Tianping.
Ning Tianping was not the least bit afraid, raising his sword and attacking!
During these 300 years, Ning Tianping's strength improvement was not as fast as it used to be anymore.
He knew that the medicinal effect of the Vastsun Universe Pill already passed.
A rank three divine pill could not possibly guarantee him for life.
But dealing with Hao Liang, he was still brimming with confidence.
The two people's strengths were evenly matched, unable to determine the victor for some time.
While the other three second-layered heaven Divine Lord powerhouses already surrounded Ye Yuan in the middle with a triangle formation.
"Attack!"
The three people cooperated tacitly, making a move at the same time, attacking Ye Yuan in three directions.
To an Origin Deity Realm martial artist, this was virtually a certain death situation.
However, Ye Yuan did not seem to have the intention of dodging and did not even make a move.
Rumble!
Suddenly, a loud explosion rang out.
The horrifying energy undulation made Hao Liang's side palpitate too.
A second-layered heaven Divine Lord powerhouse was directly blown flying.
Ye Yuan's figure drifted out several thousand feet away.
Bang!
That second-layered heaven Divine Lord's corpse landed heavily on the ground. It was as if a heavy hammer struck on everyone's heart.
The corpse was already a blurry mess of flesh and blood, without any breath. Clearly, he was blasted to death.
Clank!
Hao Liang and Ning Tianping separated upon contact. He looked at Ye Yuan and said in alarm, "You … You're mad! You actually … You actually detonated a divine lord mystic treasure!"
There's a world within divine lord mystic treasures, forming a region of space on its own, containing world power.
Once divine lord mystic treasures were destroyed, the world power exploding within an extremely small radius, the power was extremely great.
Even Divine Lord Realm powerhouses would also be certain to die when blasted in close-range by a detonated divine lord mystic treasure.
This second-layered heaven Divine Lord was the nearest to Ye Yuan just now, Ye Yuan directly detonated a divine lord mystic treasure.
It was just that divine lord mystic treasures were extremely precious. Hao Liang only barely managed to obtain one after breaking through to become a third-layered heaven Divine Lord.
This kind of thing, not reaching life and death juncture, who was willing to detonate?
Furthermore, without a convenient weapon, one's combat strength would also be greatly diminished.
The poor second-layered heaven Divine Lord died until he did not know how he died.
The other two second-layered heaven Divine Lords also arrived successively, suffering varying degrees of injuries.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Being able to kill people is enough, why i
s it crazy?"
Hao Liang could not help suffocating when he heard that. He did not expect that Ye Yuan would actually do such a crazy action.
"Humph! So what even if you detonate a divine lord mystic treasure? Could it be that you still have a second divine lord mystic treasure? If you have the capability, detonate the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain!"
Hao Liang laughed coldly, but very soon, his smile turned stiff on his face, his expression ugly to the extreme, his eyeballs popping out.
It was only to see Ye Yuan take out another divine lord mystic treasure unhurriedly and started playing in his hand.
"Pfft! Hahaha! Hao Liang, I told you just now. His Excellency's means are what you can never imagine!" Ning Tianping seriously could not hold it in and said with a loud laugh.
Ye Yuan said with an amused look, "I don't have much, just a lot of divine lord mystic treasures. Uh … blasting you guys dead eight or ten times shouldn't be a problem."
Hao Liang said with a look of disbelief, "You keep bragging! Do you think that you can use this to scare me? When did divine lord mystic treasures become common wares?"
Just finished talking, Ye Yuan took out another divine lord mystic treasure and said with a grin, "Do you believe me or not? Still don't believe me?"
While talking, Ye Yuan took out another divine lord mystic treasure.
Hao Liang completely broke down!
He strove for no idea how many years for a divine lord mystic treasure.
But this brat who was not even Divine Lord Realm actually took three out all at once!
No, wait, counting that one that detonated just now, he actually had four!
What was wrong with this world?
When those two second-layered heaven Divine Lords saw this scene, they were overwhelmed by terror.
It was still their first time experiencing the explosion of divine lord mystic treasures. The power just now made them still have lingering fear in their hearts until now.
"W-We're not playing anymore!"
Finished talking, the two people's figures moved, speeding madly into the distance.
They were already badly frightened. Another explosion and they definitely would not have bones left.
