Just like the relationship between Heavenly Eagle Imperial City and Utmost Peace Imperial City back then, if there was a transmission array, that would be equivalent to self-destruction.
But the demon race's priest temples spanned all over each imperial city. It was still permitted for them to set up some small-scale transmission arrays internally.
Of course, this transmission array naturally had strict rules for usage too. People apart from the Priest Temple were absolutely not allowed to use it.
...
Passing through the transmission array, what was supposed to be a several years' journey, Ye Yuan only used half a month's time and reached Tiger Bright Imperial City.
"Ye Yuan pays respect to Hall Master Jin Hua!"
Coming out of the transmission array, a man dressed in hall master long robes came up to welcome.
Ye Yuan naturally knew it in his heart and bowed to him.
Although Di Qiu did not say that Ye Yuan cleared 'Ask Not,' the words in the message he transmitted to him expressed Ye Yuan's extraordinariness.
Jin Hua was not a fool, he naturally understood what it meant.
Hence, he personally came to welcome Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan was unfamiliar with this place. His greatest reliance was the Priest Temple and naturally had to be more courteous to Jin Hua.
When Jin Hua saw Ye Yuan, he could not help slightly revealing a look of surprise. Nodding his head, he said, "You're Little Friend Ye Yuan? I heard that your talent is outstanding and can already refine level eight and nine demon divine pills?"
Ye Yuan understood in his heart and said with a nod, "That is kind praise from Hall Master Di Qiu. If Hall Master Jin Hua needs this Ye to put forth my strength, this Ye will naturally carry out my obligations!"
Jin Hua smiled, very satisfied with Ye Yuan's behavior.
Clearly, talking with smart people was very easy.
However, he was also secretly shocked in his heart.
He even thought that Ye Yuan was a peak rank four powerhouse. He did not expect that Ye Yuan was only a Fifth Firmament Divine Lord.
Could this bit of strength really refine the Cloud Pendant Heavenly Sunbow Pill?
Di Qiu seemed crude and careless, but he naturally also would not be as simple as he portrayed.
Even though the relationship between priest temples was much closer than between imperial cities, asking people for help naturally had to promise some benefits.
And Ye Yuan was the biggest benefit.
He already hinted in the news he sent over that he could have Ye Yuan refine some level nine difficulty medicinal pills.
"Huhu, then I'll have to trouble Little Friend Ye Yuan. I heard Di Qiu say that you and White Light are life-and-death brothers?" Jin Hua asked casually.
Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "We're good brothers that have braved countless dangers! Lord Hall Master, I heard that he also has a good brother in Tiger Bright Imperial City, Blackpupil. I wonder if you can tell me about this person?"
Chapter 1770 - Set Up
"Hahaha, Brother Ye's alchemy skills have truly reached the acme of perfection! In my view, with your strength, there's no problem passing 'Ask Not'!"
In the restaurant, a demon race youth faced Ye Yuan, a flattering look on his face.
Ye Yuan took a sip of wine and said coolly, "Brother Blackpupil's words are flattering a little too over the top. During these 50 million years, only 11 people have cleared 'Ask Not.' Your words are pushing me into the fire pit!"
Blackpupil seemed slightly awkward as he laughed and said, "Haha, no matter what, Brother Ye's alchemy standards are the most formidable that I, Blackpupil, have seen to this day! If not for you, it's probably impossible for me to break through to late-stage rank four within a short time!"
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Brother Blackpupil is too modest. With your talent, I was merely adding flowers to embroidery."
Ye Yuan made a compliment very deftly. Blackpupil was indeed very pleased with himself.
"Heh, to talk about talent, if I, Blackpupil, admits to being second in Tiger Bright Imperial City, no one will identify as first!" Blackpupil said with a proud face.
Ye Yuan nodded his head and said in strong agreement, "This Ye just arrived here. But I heard that there's still a pretty talented one in the city? What's he called again?"
Blackpupil's expression changed, but he still said, "White Light!"
"Right, right, called White Light! I heard that that punk overestimated his own ability and actually wanted to compete with Brother Blackpupil!" Ye Yuan said with an unhappy look.
Blackpupil's expression was slightly unnatural as he shook his head and said with a sigh, "What's Brother Ye saying? White Light is my close brother! He's currently thrown in prison. I'm also very pained about it!"
The moment Ye Yuan heard this, he was unhappy. His face turned sullen as he said, "Heh, Brother Blackpupil is treating me as an outside! Forget it, forget it, don't talk about this at this time. This wine is also pretty much drunk, this Ye will take his leave first."
As he said, Ye Yuan was really going to get up and leave.
Blackpupil got a fright and hurriedly pulled Ye Yuan and said, "Don't, don't! Brother Ye, it was all Blackpupil's fault, let's sit down and slowly talk, slowly talk!"
Ye Yuan sat down with an unhappy look and said, "Blackpupil, I felt that your talent is pretty good. That's why I made friends with you. Do you think that just anybody is qualified to become friends with me?"
Before coming, Ye Yuan already had Jin Hua spread that word, saying that he could refine level nine medicinal pills.
Prior to this, Ye Yuan already refined a medicinal pill and helped Blackpupil successfully break through his bottleneck, reaching late-stage rank four.
In reality, when Ye Yuan heard about this incident, he felt that there was something very fishy.
If they were really close brothers, how could he possibly watch Heavenly Tiger King capture White Light away passively?
If it were Ye Yuan, he would rather die himself than let Heavenly Tiger King capture White Light away.
This matter, it was pronounced to the outside world that it was all done by White Light.
But the news held by the Priest Temple clearly did not stop there.
Even though the temple did not care about the affairs in the city, with their standing, the eyes and ears in the city naturally could not be avoided.
Hence, the moment Ye Yuan came out of the Transmission array, he asked about it.
Setting up this plot today was in order to bait him.
In terms of cunningness, ten Blackpupil was not Ye Yuan's match too.
With a few interactions, Blackpupil already took Ye Yuan to be a good friend that could be confided in.
Coupled with Ye Yuan intentionally or unintentionally saying that he wanted to help Blackpupil refine the Cloud Pendant Heavenly Sunbow Pill, he naturally became even more docile and obedient towards Ye Yuan.
However, Ye Yuan never mentioned the matter of White Light all the way until today, did he casually mention it.
If Blackpupil really took White Light to be a brother, then it was Ye Yuan who misunderstood. White Light standing up for a brother, he naturally had nothing to say.
But, if there was really something fishy in-between, then he would not be courteous.
Blackpupil knew that Ye Yuan had the ability to refine the Cloud Pendant Heavenly Sunbow Pill and was naturally willing to make friends with Ye Yuan.
Even if they did not become friends, he could not offend either!
One had to know, one medicinal pill from Ye Yuan could let him break through to rank five.
How could this sort of person be offended?
Sure enough, Blackpupil had an ingratiating look as he said, "Brother Ye, calm your anger. One look and you're a clear-headed person! Either way, that brat is already dead, so there's nothing that can't be said. That punk indeed didn't know how to appreciate favors. That's why I did a small trick an
d eliminated him."
The moment Ye Yuan heard, he could not help saying with great interest, "Oh? In that case, that son of Heavenly Tiger King, it was you who deliberately took action to severely injure him?"
Blackpupil smiled and said, "That's of course! I originally wanted to directly kill him, but I didn't expect that this guy had coarse skin and thick flesh, and actually didn't die! White Light that fool actually really stood up for me and shouldered this matter."
While talking, Blackpupil had a contemptuous look on his face.
Ye Yuan had already inquired before, this Blackpupil normally addressed White Light as his brother and took on quite a number of things for White Light.
Quite a few demons in this city found White Light an eyesore. As long as Blackpupil ran into them, he would definitely cuss the other party out.
Looking at it now, these were probably arranged by Blackpupil.
Ye Yuan had a smile that was not a smile when he heard it and said, "Brother Blackpupil, you treated your own brother like that. You wouldn't stab me in the back one day too, right?"
The moment Blackpupil heard, he hurriedly said, "What's Brother Ye saying? I, Old Black, am not this kind of person! Actually, I've hinted to that White Light to leave many times and not compete for the position of young city lord in Tiger Bright Imperial City with me. But he wouldn't listen. I only came up with this scheme out of helplessness! Brother Ye, you opened your heart up to me. I, Blackpupil, only take you as a friend in this lifetime!"
The smile on Ye Yuan's face grew increasingly thicker, making Blackpupil feel a chill run down his back.
"B-Brother Ye, what's with you?"
Ye Yuan sneered and said, "Then do you know that White Light and I are also close brothers who stand or fall together?"
Blackpupil's expression changed when he heard it and said with an ugly expression, "This … How is this possible?"
Ye Yuan's face recovered tranquility and he said coolly, "White Light has stuck together with me and depended on each other for survival from birth! Now, you actually stabbed him in the back. What do you think … I should do?"
Blackpupil's face fell and he said in a cold voice, "You … You deliberately tricked me?"
Ye Yuan said coolly, "You're not considered too dumb yet! White Light he's pure-hearted and really took you, this kind of venomous person, to be a friend. But how can I, his big brother, let you get off scot-free?"
Blackpupil's expression changed several times. Finally, it turned into a cold smile and he said, "With the likes of you? You're as dumb as that brother of yours! Since you suspect me, you actually still helped me to refine medicinal pills and helped me break through! Heh heh, go die!"
While talking, Blackpupil's aura skyrocketed. The strength of late-stage rank four erupted in its entirety, him pouncing over toward Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan stood there and pointed a finger out very calmly.
Bang!
Blackpupil's body was akin to being struck by lightning, suddenly flying out backward. Fresh blood was spewing wildly in the air.
Landed on the ground, he looked at Ye Yuan in horror, face revealing a panicky look as he said in disbelief, "This … How is this possible?"
Ye Yuan looked at Blackpupil coolly and said, "White Light doesn't like to show off, so he definitely didn't tell you why he'd leave my side and come to Tiger Bright Imperial City from afar. The strength that you rely on isn't worth mentioning in front of me at all!"
Chapter 1771 - Rushing Heavenly Tiger Mountain Alone
Blackpupil's expression changed several times. Suddenly, his figure moved, suddenly vanishing, shuttling into the void.
Ye Yuan had long expected it. Taking a step high into the air, a finger tapped out once more.
It was only to see a trace of crack ripped in space. Blackpupil's figure was directly sent out.
Blackpupil's pupils constricted and he said in horror, "S-Spatial law!"
Ye Yuan looked at him and said coolly, "Don't need to worry, I won't kill you. Take a trip with me."
Blackpupil's expression changed and he said fearfully, "W-Where are you bringing me?"
"Heavenly Tiger Mountain."
Blackpupil had a look of alarm and said in panic, "I … I'm not going! You … You're courting death! White Light already died, so what's the point of doing this now?"
The current Ye Yuan had a calm look. But those who knew him well knew that he was very angry.
Suddenly, Ye Yuan unleashed a finger again.
"Ahh! You … You crippled my cultivation! You'll die a horrible death!"
A scream came from Blackpupil. That finger of Ye Yuan's just now directly made his inner-world shatter.
The current Blackpupil was already an out-and-out cripple.
Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a grim look, "My brother's life is tenacious, so he won't die. If he really died, I'll make the entire Heavenly Tiger Mountain be buried with him! As for you, there's absolutely no hope to get lucky."
Blackpupil's entire body trembled, revealing a look of despair.
Suddenly, he let out a wild laugh and said, "Just the likes of you will make the entire Heavenly Tiger Mountain be buried for him? What right do you have?"
Ye Yuan slowly walked over, hauling Blackpupil up. Taking a stride out, he directly left Tiger Bright Imperial City.
"You sent a message out with a secret art just now, right? Don't harbor delusions anymore, no one will come and save you," As Ye Yuan sped along, he said coolly.
Blackpupil's expression changed and he said in disbelief, "You want to scare me? My grandfather is Tiger Bright Imperial City's grand elder, late-stage rank five powerhouse! You crippled my cultivation, he'll definitely shred you into pieces."
Ye Yuan cast him a pitiful glance and said coolly, "Then you see if anyone will come and save you or not."
Time slowly trickled by, the two people got closer and closer to Heavenly Tiger Mountain.
However, there were still no activities at the rear.
Blackpupil's heart gradually sunk to the bottom.
He seriously could not understand why Grandfather would not come and save him.
And where Ye Yuan's confidence came from.
Thinking about Ye Yuan arriving at the border of Skydemon Mountain Range, Blackpupil finally knew that Ye Yuan was not scaring him, but he really had the confidence!
But why?
He was merely a Fifth Firmament Divine Lord martial artist, so why would Grandfather not dare to come?
"Why? WHY!" Blackpupil bellowed unwillingly.
Ye Yuan said coolly, "Didn't you say that with my strength, there isn't any problem passing 'Ask Not'?"
Blackpupil's pupils constricted and he said in disbelief, "You … You really passed 'Ask Not'? This isn't possible! If you passed 'Ask Not,' why doesn't the entire demon race have any news at all?"
Ye Yuan said, "That's because I'm different from those people in the past!"
Blackpupil's entire body trembled. His mind was in disorder.
He previously said these words just to butter Ye Yuan up.
No one had cleared 'Ask Not' for eight million years already. Although Ye Yuan was very formidable, he did not believe that Ye Yuan had the ability to clear it at all.
But now, even his grandfather did not dare to chase after. Very clearly, a powerful force stopped him.
At least, City Lord His Excellency did not have this ability and strength!
Then … it was really Lord Sacred Ancestor?
Extreme terror after long deliberation!
The deeper Blackpupil thought, the more despaired he got.
...
"This one is Ye Yuan, requesting an audience with Heavenly Tiger King!"
Ye Yuan stood in the air and said in a clear voice, his voice ringing throughout the whole Heavenly Tiger Mountain.
Blackpupil was scared until his legs were quaking. This guy's nerves were really too plucky.
Suddenly, several powerful auras stepped into the a
ir and pounced over toward Ye Yuan two people.
Seven to eight fierce beasts with powerful auras directly took action indiscriminately.
Blackpupil was scared until his complexion turned ashen. These seven to eight fierce beasts, each one was several times stronger than him. Now, Ye Yuan and he were both dead for sure.
This guy's head really had a problem, to actually dare so be insolent in Heavenly Tiger King's territory. What was this if not tired of living?
Ye Yuan's face fell, his figure immediately became vague and insubstantial, directly rushing into the beast horde.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Blackpupil only felt the divine essence around him disperse frenziedly.
Even though Ye Yuan battled seven to eight late-stage rank four fierce beasts by himself, he actually did not fall into a disadvantage in the slightest.
Was this guy a freak?
His combat power was actually so strong!
Just what kind of monster was White Light's brother!
Suddenly, a surge of remorse welled up frantically in his heart. He discovered that he had done an extremely foolish thing, and provoked the person that he least ought to!
"Divine Dragon Trampling Heaven!"
"Nirvana Seal!"
One powerful move after another spewed forth. Ye Yuan sent each one of those fierce beasts packing back into the Heavenly Tiger Mountain.
Ye Yuan stood in his air and called out in a clear voice once more, "I'm Ye Yuan, requesting an audience with Heavenly Tiger King!"
With this, no more fierce beasts rushed out.
Before long, a black tiger rose into the sky.
A powerful aura instantly enveloped Ye Yuan and Blackpupil.
"Punk, who are you? To dare act wildly at my Heavenly Tiger Mountain?" said the black tiger in human language.
Ye Yuan said coolly, "I want to meet Heavenly Tiger King!"
The black tiger gave a cold laugh when he heard that and said disdainfully, "Brat, your strength is decent. But why would Lord Heavenly Tiger King want to see you?"
Ye Yuan said, "I can treat Tigerheart!"
But the black tiger burst into laughter when he heard that and said, "Tiger Bright Imperial City even sent over a Five-star priest, but he was at a loss on what to do. Just the likes of you, a little brat still wet behind his ears, can treat Tigerheart's injuries?"
