At the foot of the mountain, there were numerous such small towns. But the towns where each major realm belonged to were separate. Because the passageways where they entered the Heavenspan Mountain were different.
This Southfoot Town only had Divine Lord Realm powerhouses.
"Hahaha, Junior Sister Leng, we're really connected by heart, to actually meet here."
"Zhuo Han, who's connected by heart with you? Stay further away from me!"
"Junior Sister Leng, don't keep people a thousand miles away like this! Don't be like this, this place is Southfoot Town, you can't attack others!"
"Get lost!"
...
The moment he entered, Ye Yuan heard a guy and a girl arguing.
One of them was that Leng Qiuling.
The other was a man called Zhuo Han. His strength was similar to Leng Qiuling. He had the appearance of a sticky candy, pestering Leng Qiuling endlessly and not letting go.
Ye Yuan gave a glance and did not have the intention of going to provoke, walking straight towards a large hall in the center of the town.
Leng Qiuling was currently irritated. Suddenly seeing Ye Yuan, she quickly walked over to stop Ye Yuan and said coldly, "You still came in the end!"
Ye Yuan gave her a glance, nodded, and said with a smile, "I said it before, I have a reason to be bent on coming."
Leng Qiuling let out a sigh and said, "You aren't familiar with this place, right? Come, I'll bring you to go and collect the number plate!"
Ye Yuan was just about to reject but saw the pleading look that Leng Qiuling cast.
Ye Yuan understood in his heart. This was using him as cannon fodder.
He also did not expect that this iceberg beauty would actually condescend to beg him.
A beauty begging, it was naturally hard for Ye Yuan to refuse.
Moreover, along the way previously, Ye Yuan could also feel this iceberg beauty's good intentions.
Therefore, he changed his mind and said with a smile, "Then I'll have to trouble Fairy1."
At this time, Zhuo Han came to the side, looked at Ye Yuan full of killing intent, and said coldly, "Another Origin Deity Realm who came to court death! Junior Sister Leng, are you deliberately finding this kind of trash to spite me? It's useless!"
While he said that it was useless verbally, Zhuo Han already put Ye Yuan in the list of must-kills.
Leng Qiuling was just about to speak, but Ye Yuan said, "Liking Fairy Leng, one can't use this kind of endlessly pestering method. Like this, you'll only make her dislike you more and more!"
Zhuo Han's gaze turned cold and he said, "What this young master does isn't your turn, an Origin Deity Realm trash's turn, to come and teach!"
Ye Yuan shook his head and could not help laughing. He said to Leng Qiuling, "Fairy Leng, this kind of condescending fool, better stay further away from him, save that he defiles your eyes."
Finished talking, Ye Yuan brought Leng Qiuling and was about to leave.
Zhuo Han's gaze turned cold, blocked right in front, and said coldly, "Kid, you try saying it one more time!"
The powerful pressure of ninth-layered heaven Divine Lord instantly crushed over toward Ye Yuan.
With a difference of a major realm, the pressure of ninth-layered heaven Divine Lord was sufficient to make Ye Yuan seriously injured and vomit blood.
Leng Qiuling was caught by surprise too, not expecting that Zhuo Han would attack at the drop of a hat.
But when she turned to look, she discovered that Ye Yuan was perfectly fine and said coolly, "Don't make a spectacle of yourself anymore. Do you dare to attack here? Don't think that ninth-layered heaven Divine Lord is very powerful. Because I discovered that saying that you're a fool is somewhat praising you. Get lost!"
Suddenly, two iron-armored people came out from no idea where, with the auras on their bodies very horrifying.
One of them said coldly, "Troublemakers, kill without amnesty!"
Those two people's entire faces were covered in the suit of armor. But that deep and gloomy gaze made Zhuo Han feel akin to falling into an ice cellar, his body instantly drenched in sweat.
The two people's bodies emitted a horrifying aura, even Leng Qiuling's complexion turned slightly pale too.
Zhuo Han forced a smile and said, "I … I just wanted to scare him, d-didn't want to really attack."
The armored person said coldly, "Warning once. If the offense is repeated, kill without amnesty!"
Finished talking, the armored person's gaze stopped on Ye Yuan for a moment, then turned around and left.
Leng Qiuling similarly used an astonished gaze to look at Ye Yuan. She did not expect that Ye Yuan was actually completely unmoved under the pressure of a ninth-layered heaven Divine Lord.
This was not the most important thing, the most important thing was that under those two armored people's powerful auras, Ye Yuan could still maintain his composure!
Those two armored people's strengths were at least Celestial Deity Realm too. Ye Yuan was actually completely fine.
Ye Yuan gave Zhuo Han a glance and said disdainfully, "Idiot! Fairy Leng, let's go."
Leng Qiuling nodded and left with Ye Yuan.
Looking at the two people's distant back views, Zhuo Han said in a cold voice, "Punk, when we leave Southfoot Town, I'll definitely make you die very horribly!"
...
"Just now, thank you very much!" Even Leng Qiuling's thanks seemed a little cold.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Fairy Leng is too courteous."
Leng Qiuling said, "Seems like I dragged you into the water. With Zhuo Han's personality of seeking revenge for the smallest grievance, he probably would not let you go so easily."
Ye Yuan said coolly, "Since I dared to promise Fairy Leng, I'm naturally not afraid of him.
An Origin Deity Realm saying this kind of words sounded somewhat comical.
She felt that Ye Yuan had a feeling of knowing what to do, but she did not know why. Calling her a fairy maiden.
Chapter 1669 - Old Drunkard
"No matter what, consider it that I owe you a favor! Take this sword. In the future, if there's any need, you can come to Thousand Soar Imperial Capital to find me."
Leng Qiuling handed Ye Yuan a small and exquisite jade sword. It was very exquisite.
This jade sword was crystal clear. Holding it in the hand felt penetratingly cold. Clearly, it was not an ordinary item.
Ye Yuan did not have the intention of refusing either and said coolly, "Alright, then I'll accept it. That sticky candy has already been shaken off. Fairy Leng, go back earlier and rest."
Ye Yuan did not have the intention of going to find Leng Qiuling. But in order to set Leng Qiuling's mind at ease, he still accepted it.
By the side, Ning Tianping was incomparably shocked. He did not expect that an iceberg beauty like this, a proud daughter of heaven, actually took the initiative to gift Ye Yuan something.
What shocked him even more was that Ye Yuan actually wanted to chase away such a sophisticated great beauty!
Leng Qiuling was clearly very surprised too. In these 500 years, it was still her first time encountering such a person.
Even if others knew that there was no hope, they were eager to stay awhile more with her as well.
But this guy in front of her actually wanted to chase her away!
"Mn, thanks."
With Leng Qiuling's temperament, she naturally would not say that she wanted to stay, directly taking her leave.
But in her heart, she kept feeling a little uncomfortable.
Walking halfway, she suddenly turned around again and said to Ye Yuan, "Oh, right, I urge that you'd best not go to the Heavenspan Mountain. Since remote antiquity, there has never been an Origin Deity Realm martial artist who could come down alive!"
Pausing for a bit, she added, "No matter how prodigious, it won't work!"
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Many thanks for Fairy's reminder. This Ye Yuan will be careful."
Seein
g Ye Yuan's attitude, Leng Qiuling knew that he did not take it in at all and could not help being somewhat annoyed and irritated, turning around and leaving.
Sending Leng Qiuling away with his eyes, Ning Tianping said with a look of lament, "Tsk tsk, my lord is my lord. Seeing such a beauty and you're not moved no matter what."
Ye Yuan scolded laughingly, "My own relationsh.i.p.s are a mess. So how can I be in the mood to be moved by other women?"
The moment Ning Tianping heard this, his gossipy heart immediately poured out like a flood, asking fervently, "Oh? Your Excellency actually has a lover, and there's more than one! I've never heard you mention it before!"
Ye Yuan said huffily, "Don't inquire about what you shouldn't ask!"
The two people saw Leng Qiuling off with their eyes and arrived at a large hall in the middle of the town.
Entering the hall, inside the hall was very empty. There was only a person sitting lazily in front of a bed, drinking away from a wine flask.
"Heh, another Origin Deity Realm who came to seek death! Kid, give you an advice, the Heavenspan Mountain isn't some fun place. Go back to where you came from!" That person said without even turning his head around.
This drunkard was in a state of drunkenness, but Ye Yuan could not fathom his limits.
"Many thanks for Senior's advice. However, the Heavenspan Mountain, this junior must go!" Ye Yuan said firmly.
The drunkard said with a snicker, "Heh heh, reckless and foolish punk! But … you're late! The number of plates this year had already been fully issued before you came. If you want to enter the Heavenspan Mountain, wait another year."
Ye Yuan was speechless. This was too unlucky, right?
He just missed the last train?
Ye Yuan did not give up and said with clasped hands, "Senior, can you make a little exception?"
His voice had yet to fade when two figures dashed out from no idea where, blocking in front of Ye Yuan.
The piercing cold killing intent made Ye Yuan's brows furrow slightly.
"Hahaha, kid, what do you take my place to be? Go, go, go, still not going, I won't be courteous." The drunkard waved his hand as he drank.
Ye Yuan let out a sigh and was just about to leave when suddenly, his expression changed.
"Heh heh, not meeting for several million years, you, this old drunkard, are putting on such a pompous front!"
Suddenly, a figure appeared in the hall.
What surprised Ye Yuan was that Dustless actually revealed his figure.
That drunkard's expression changed. He put down the alcohol flask, staring fixedly at Dustless.
The drunkard said in a solemn voice, "You all leave. Without my instructions, you're not allowed to come in!"
"Yes!" The two armored people answered him and directly vanished on the spot.
Ye Yuan also said, "Tianping, you go out first and take a walk."
Ning Tianping was shocked inwardly, but he still answered and left the hall.
Clearing the venue, the drunkard suddenly stood up. Looking at Dustless with a look of disbelief, he said, "You … You're really Lord Dustless!"
Dustless smiled and said, "Who can it be if not me?"
"Hahaha …" The drunkard suddenly lifted his head to the sky and laughed hard. Tears running down his old face, he said, "Heaven has eyes, Lord Dustless, you're actually still alive!"
The old drunkard cried and laughed, appearing very crazy.
When Ye Yuan saw this scene, he could not help being shocked in his heart.
He did not expect that this old drunkard was actually Dustless's old acquaintance.
Dustless looked at the old drunkard and also had a melancholic expression. Clearly, many memories were brought back.
After a bout of madness, the old drunkard hurriedly said, "Lord Dustless, please sit!"
Dustless was merely an illusionary figure, but the old drunkard was very respectful toward him.
Dustless was not polite either, sitting onto the bed.
Dustless looked at the old drunkard and he said with a smile, "Looks like these few years, you've been doing pretty well!"
The old drunkard smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Dustless, you're mistaken. I hate that I failed to live up to expectations, that's why I drown my sorrow in alcohol daily! These several million years, I've always cultivated bitterly, wanting to take revenge for Lord Immortal Grove. But … I can't even break through to the Empyrean Realm! These few years, I also took the time to go and find Lord Immortal Grove's small world before. But he hid it too well, I couldn't find it at all!"
Dustless sighed and said, "You had the heart! But you don't need to go and find anymore, because … Immortal Grove already has a successor."
The old drunkard's entire body trembled, looking at Ye Yuan in surprise.
For so many years, the old drunkard held down the fort at Southfoot Town. The geniuses he had seen before were too many to enumerate.
Ye Yuan was far too lacking compared to them.
The old drunkard said with a doubtful look, "It's him? Lord Dustless, with all due respect, this kid looks very ordinary! He's unable to break through to the Divine Lord Realm, and that's why he came to the Heavenspan Mountain, right? Can't even break through to the Divine Lord Realm, how can he avenge Lord Immortal Grove?"
Dustless smiled and said, "The World Suppressing Stele and Soul Suppressing Pearl both acknowledged him as their master, so it won't be wrong! As for being unable to break through to the Divine Lord Realm, it's not convenient for me to expound on the reason. But it's absolutely not a problem of talent. You just have to know that his future accomplishments are far above Immortal Grove's!"
The old drunkard was extremely surprised when he heard that. Ye Yuan looked plain and ordinary, without any special aspect.
However, Dustless's appraisal of him was actually so high.
Lord Immortal Grove's talent, the old drunkard was all too clear. A little fellow who could not even break through to the Divine Lord Realm could compare to him?
The old drunkard nodded and said, "Since he's the person that Lord Dustless picked, I, an old drunkard, naturally have nothing to say. But Lord Dustless, you're also aware, Origin Deity Realms going to the Heavenspan Mountain, there's no return. This is no joke!"
Dustless smiled and said, "You old drunkard, how can this old man let him go and court death? You rest assured, he'll be fine!"
The old drunkard sized Ye Yuan up with a curious look, wanting to see what was different from him.
But looking here and there, he could not perceive anything no matter what.
Chapter 1670 - Cutting in Line
Dustless was naturally not worried about Ye Yuan. He refined a small portion of the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain. As long as he did not seek death, the Heavenspan Mountain's Heavenly Dao would not crush him.
Even without the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, Ye Yuan's strength was already comparable to a first-layered heaven Divine Lord. It was sufficient to resist the pressure of the Heavenspan Mountain already.
It was just that this strength, if Ye Yuan did not act, outsiders naturally could not tell.
Coming out from the old drunkard's place, Ye Yuan had a confused look. So Dustless briefly recounted the matters of the old drunkard.
It turned out that the old drunkard was a servant that Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove took in during his early years.
Immortal Grove saved his life back then. He followed Immortal Grove and was loyal and devoted to Immortal Grove.
But later, because of various reasons, the old drunkard left Immortal Grove and became the manager of Southfoot Town.
Dustless making Ye Yuan come to Southfoot Town was naturally because of this consideration.
Back then, when the old drunkard heard that Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove perished, he had once cried for three days and nights.
He resolved to take revenge for Immortal Grove, but his strength was too weak. That was why he drowned his sorrows in alcohol every day.
Immortal Grove's enemy was a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse. How difficult was it to break through to the Heavenly Emperor Realm?
Several days later, it just happened to be the one year date.
On the Heavenspan Mountain, a beam of light slowly extended out and landed on the ground outside the small town.
All of the martial artists going to the Heavenspan Mountain gathered in the wilderness.
They all held a wooden plaque in their hands. This was the sequence number plates issued by the old drunkard.
People without a wooden plaque were not permitted to go up the Heavenspan Mountain.
This was not the Heavenspan Mountain's rules. It was just a rule of Southfoot Town.
Zhuo Han swept a glance and suddenly discovered that Ye Yuan did not have a wooden plaque in his hands. He instantly understood something.
"Haha, kid, you don't even have a wooden plaque, so what did you run here for? I almost forgot. We took the last few pieces of wooden plaques that day. You guys came after us. So … you still got to wait a year! Hahaha!" Zhuo Han said with a loud laugh.
He burned with rage that day and did not notice this matter.
Recalling it now, they just happened to have received the last few pieces of wooden plaques. That Ye Yuan naturally did not have a wooden plaque on hand.
Leng Qiuling they all were slightly earlier, Zhuo Han they all followed closely behind.
Then later, it was Ye Yuan and Ning Tianping.
Zhuo Han's loud laughter immediately attracted the attention of many people.
"I got it. You came to see Junior Sister Leng! Huhu, do you think that this young master couldn't tell that she used you as a shield? You wouldn't think that she's really interested in you, right? Stop trying to strike out of your league. You and she are not in the same world at all. An ant like you will never understand the disparity between you guys, give up!" Zhuo Han shot Ye Yuan down without any consideration.
"No way, right? An Origin Deity Realm actually wanted to punch above his weight and pursue Leng Qiuling?"
"Really overestimating his own ability! Doesn't take a piss to look at his own reflection at either!"
