The terms of Heavenly Tiger King's retreat was naturally not just handing over White Light. There was also having the Priest Temple send people over to treat his son, Tigerheart.
In the end, Tigerheart's injuries were too severe, even the Priest Temple could not treat him.
Ye Yuan said coolly, "They are inferior to me! Treat the dead horse as if it's still alive; either way, you guys don't have other choices."
The moment the black tiger heard, he said in great rage, "Brat, what are you saying?"
Angry was angry, but the black tiger did not make a move.
Because he knew that Ye Yuan's words were harsh, but the logic was not wrong.
This brat suddenly appeared and even dared to say such big words. He likely did not say it carelessly.
Who would have nothing to do and treat their own life as a joke?
Seeing that Ye Yuan did not react, the black tiger said unhappily, "Since you came to treat Tigerheart, then what are you still waiting for? Come with me!"
But Ye Yuan did not move and said coolly, "I want to meet Heavenly Tiger King! Otherwise, I won't treat him."
The moment the black tiger heart, he immediately said in a great rage, "Brat, since you already came, it's no longer up to you now."
Ye Yuan said with a calm look, "You can try! I can treat Tigerheart; similarly, I can also make him unable to pray for life, nor beg for death! If you don't believe it, you can give it a try."
The black tiger's face fell and he said angrily, "Brat, you dare?!"
Seeing that Ye Yuan did not react, the black tiger immediately crumbled and gave a cold snort and said, "Kid, you wait here. I'll go and ask for Lord Heavenly Tiger King's opinion!"
Chapter 1772 - Grievous News
"Human, you wanted to see me?"
In front of him, a majestic enormous tiger, a full person's height, talked in human language. His gaze stared intently at Ye Yuan, his body radiating a terrifying aura.
Thud!
Ye Yuan did not show the least bit of fear. Stretching out his hand and lightly pushing, he pushed Blackpupil in front of Heavenly Tiger King.
"This is the culprit who seriously injured Tigerheart! I can help you treat Tigerheart, but I need to see White Light first," Ye Yuan said coolly.
Heavenly Tiger King's gaze turned intent, and he said in a solemn voice, "Punk, are you negotiating terms with me? Do you think that you have the capital to negotiate terms in front of me?"
Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said calmly, "I'm not discussing terms with you, but I am giving you a chance. I hope that White Light had better be fine, otherwise … the entire Heavenly Tiger Mountain will be buried for your foolishness!"
At this time, just the late-stage rank five fierce beasts by Heavenly Tiger King's side were as many as seven to eight.
This Heavenly Tiger Mountain, the rank five fierce beasts were no fewer than several dozen at the very least.
When these fierce beasts heard Ye Yuan's word, each and every one of them exchanged glances, their expressions very amused.
This human brat in front of them was actually threatening Heavenly Tiger King?
This kid likely lost his mind, right?
"Hahaha! I, Heavenly Tiger King, have been entrenched in Heavenly Tiger Mountain for as long as several tens of thousands of years. Even Tiger Bright Imperial City's city lord, I have killed one before too. There has never been a guy who dared to say this kind of wildly arrogant words in front of me! Kid, you're very courageous!"
Heavenly Tiger King let out a wild laugh. Clearly, Ye Yuan's words, he listened to it like a joke.
If not for Ye Yuan saying that he could treat Tigerheart, he would have long smacked him to death with one palm.
But Ye Yuan had a serious look as he asked in a solemn voice, "How is White Light?"
Heavenly Tiger King waved his paw carelessly and said coolly, "Relax, he's currently locked up by me and suffered a small loss. But he's fine. You just have to treat Tigerheart, and I'll immediately release him!"
Hearing this, Ye Yuan's heart eased up and he said coolly, "As long as White Light is fine, everything can be discussed. Lead the way!"
Under Heavenly Tiger King's lead, Ye Yuan came to a cave.
On the simple and crude stone bed, a bright-colored tiger lay there, breath fleeting like gossamer.
Heavenly Tiger King's face fell and he said, "Kid, don't let me find out that you're toying with me. You will know the consequences."
In truth, he did not harbor much hope in Ye Yuan.
After all, Ye Yuan only had Divine Lord Realm's strength.
Tiger Bright Imperial City's high priests all came, and they all said that they were powerless to remedy the situation, and had him wait to collect the corpse.
But he loved his son dearly. Since Ye Yuan said so, he could only have Ye Yuan give it a shot.
Ye Yuan ignored Heavenly Tiger King and went straight to the edge of the stone bed, and pressed his palm on Tigerheart's body. Traces of thick divine essence probed into Tigerheart's body.
Ye Yuan's brows knitted tighter and tighter, hatred towards Blackpupil welling up even more in his heart.
This guy attacked really viciously!
Tigerheart's insides were virtually beaten into mush by Blackpupil, the vitality within his body almost already dissipated fully.
Even using medicinal pills, Tigerheart was completely unable to digest it too.
It was also no wonder that those Five-star high priests were all helpless.
This kind of situation, to the average person, it was basically waiting to die.
Heavenly Tiger King appeared slightly fidgety as he asked, "How is it? Is … Is there hope?"
Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "This guy is tenacious too, to actually be able to hold out until now. You rest assured. As long as he doesn't die, I can bring him back to life!"
Hearing Ye Yuan's words, Heavenly Tiger King's heart inexplicably eased up.
Ye Yuan took out a purplish-black medicinal pill. Supporting from under with his palm, the medicinal pill suspended above Tigerheart.
Ye Yuan's divine essence poured out trace by trace, guiding the medicinal strength of the purplish-black medicinal pill into Tigerheart's body.
The moment Heavenly Tiger King saw this, his gaze could not refrain from turning intent as he said in surprise, "This kid has such terrifying control!"
What kind of visual prowess did Heavenly Tiger King have? Ye Yuan's control over divine essence was too terrifying.
No need to talk about him; even those high priests from the Priest Temple absolutely could not do it to Ye Yuan's degree as well.
Tigerheart was only hanging in there with one breath and was totally unable to refine the medicinal strength himself anymore.
If he could still consume medicinal pills, Five-star high priests naturally would not be at their wits' end.
At least, prolonging his life was still doable.
Previously, that high priest also said before leaving that Tigerheart was not without hope. It was just that no one had that kind of fine control to ferry the medicinal strength into Tigerheart's body.
Even Hall Master Jin Hua could not do it too!
Now, this rank four little fellow actually did it!
"This kid indeed has some capability! His control over divine essence is simply brilliant to the max." That black tiger from earlier marveled in admiration.
Heavenly Tiger King said excitedly, "Haha, truly, heaven doesn't want my child to die!"
The black tiger was a little worried as he whispered, "Your Majesty, this kid wants that White Light, we . .."
Heavenly Tiger King's face turned black, two eyes glaring as he said in a solemn voice, "Wait for him to finish treating before talking! Talking about this now, do you want to die?"
The black tiger was startled inwardly and hurriedly withdrew, not daring to speak anymore.
Ye Yuan's treatment lasted three days and three nights.
Under everyone
's marveling gazes, Tigerheart's vitality went from nothing to something and gradually grew stronger again.
Although this process was extremely slow, the people present were all experts and could naturally feel the changes in Tigerheart's breathing.
A smile unconsciously spilled out on Heavenly Tiger King's ferocious looking face.
Suddenly, Ye Yuan's palm pulled back, the treatment suddenly stopping.
Heavenly Tiger King's face changed and he asked, "Kid, what's the meaning of this?"
Ye Yuan slowly got up and wiped the fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
This method of ferrying medicinal strength was seriously too energy-consuming. Even he also felt very strained by casting it continuously for three days and three nights.
But the reason he stopped was naturally not because of this.
Ye Yuan looked at Heavenly Tiger King and said coolly, "Tigerheart's current situation, living another few months isn't an issue. I can continue to help treat him. But I have to see White Light first!"
The reason why he helped treat Tigerheart unconditionally was just in order to let them know that he had this strength.
But his goal was White Light.
Not seeing White Light, he would not continue taking action.
Regarding Heavenly Tiger King's conduct, Ye Yuan had long inquired about it.
Heavenly Tiger King's words, he naturally would not believe completely.
Heavenly Tiger King's expression changed, and he said, "This king said that as long as you treat Tigerheart, this king will naturally release him."
Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "I want to see White Light first!"
Heavenly Tiger King's expression became incomparably ugly and he involuntarily looked toward the black tiger.
Ye Yuan's face fell, immediately having a foreboding premonition. He said in a chilly voice, "Just how is White Light?! If you dare to deceive me, your son can forget about ever getting well!"
Heavenly Tiger King knew that it could not be hidden anymore and gave a cold snort as he said, "He's dead!"
Buzz!
Ye Yuan's eyes went black, staggering, nearly falling to the ground.
His head suddenly exploded, endless sorrow instantly filling his whole body.
"Puhwark!"
Ye Yuan's anxiety struck his heart, directly spewing out a mouthful of blood mist.
Chapter 1773 - Magic Eye Grotto
Ye Yuan's eyes turned blood-red, berserk killing intent becoming corporeal, dispersing in all directions grandly.
"You really killed him?" Ye Yuan said in a cold voice.
Ye Yuan's murderous aura naturally could not pose any harm to Heavenly Tiger King.
In fact, the way they saw it, Ye Yuan's anger was simply laughable.
Heavenly Tiger King laughed loudly and said, "Looks like your relationship with that white tiger is really very deep! But your anger is utterly meaningless to this king. This is a world where the weak are prey and the strong feast. If you don't have the strength, even if you have monumental grievances, you also have to suppress it in your heart!"
Ye Yuan's entire body trembled, his gaze icy-cold as he said in a cold voice, "I ask you, did you really kill him?"
"Haha, this kid is probably really a fool, he still can't see the current situation clearly?"
"A rank four brat actually dares to threaten our Heavenly Tiger Mountain, this tone is also too big!"
"That punk called White Light actually dared to beat Young Patriarch Tigerheart to severe injuries, so serves him right to die!"
...
The fierce beasts following the Heavenly Tiger King all revealed teasing gazes.
To them, these powerhouses, occasionally toying with weaklings was also something pretty good.
Heavenly Tiger King burst into laughter and said, "Why, killed then killed, could it be that you'll really make our entire Heavenly Tiger Mountain be buried in death? Brat, not that I'm looking down on you, but just the likes of you? Now, go and treat Tigerheart obediently. If you dare to have any devious thoughts, this king will make you unable to beg for life nor plead for death!"
Suddenly, Ye Yuan's entire person recovered tranquility. His body stopped trembling. His pair of eyes looked at the Heavenly Tiger King, not carrying the slightest emotion.
The current Ye Yuan already could not use words to describe his rage.
A cold light flashed, the Junyi Sword already arrived in Ye Yuan's hand.
He walked over step by step toward the Heavenly Tiger King.
The Heavenly Tiger King's eyes were full of amus.e.m.e.nt as he said with a cold smile, "Kid, if you don't treat Tigerheart today, the consequences aren't what you can bear!"
Bang!
All of a sudden, the Heavenly Tiger King's aura was released fully. The powerful aura made the entire mountain forest tremble.
Even his subordinates were also all on tenterhooks, consciously retreating.
The Heavenly Tiger King already had one foot stepped into the threshold of rank six. The might of his imposing momentum, ordinary powerhouses could not withstand it at all.
Even Tiger Bright City Lord was not his match either. It could be seen how terrifying his strength was.
However, this powerful pressure had not closed in on Ye Yuan yet but the Heavenly Tiger King's eyes already revealed a look of horror.
His powerful aura was actually being suppressed back.
His figure suddenly froze there.
"Which … Which lord arrived? Please reveal yourself!"
No one answered him!
The Heavenly Tiger King had a look of shock on his face. He completely could not feel any aura. But now, he could not even move his fingers!
He could only helplessly watch Ye Yuan approach him.
Same as him, none of the other fierce beasts were able to move as well.
The Heavenly Tiger King suddenly startled awake, only then remembering the words Ye Yuan said before.
He said that he was going to make the entire Heavenly Tiger Mountain be buried with White Light!
He only took it as a joke previously. He did not expect that this Divine Lord Realm human brat could actually find such a terrifying helper!
Looking as Ye Yuan drew close step by step, the Heavenly Tiger King finally sensed the arrival of death.
He currently could not even perform divine essence body protection.
It was as easy as flipping his hand over for Ye Yuan to want to kill him!
Looking at Ye Yuan's cold eyes, Heavenly Tiger King did not think that the other party would show mercy.
"H-Hang on! Maybe … Maybe White Light isn't dead!" Heavenly Tiger King said rather feebly.
Ye Yuan's figure paused, not carrying the slightest emotion as he said, "You only have three breaths of time. If you can't convince me, you die!"
Heavenly Tiger King broke out in cold sweat. He had never felt before such tremendous pressure.
"A-Actually, after White Light was captured by us, he was thrown into the Magic Eye Grotto! That place is the Skydemon Mountain Range's forbidden land. As long as the person goes in, they have never come out alive before. So … So … he might still … be alive … right now."
Talking to the back, Heavenly Tiger King's voice became weaker and weaker.
Saying that White Light was still alive, even he himself did not quite believe it.
If White Light still had a trace of possibility of being alive, he would not deceive Ye Yuan either, saying that White Light was just being locked up.
However, Ye Yuan's bone-piercing icy aura immediately thawed significantly.
An additional trace of hope appeared in his eyes.
As long as it was not Heavenly Tiger King killing him himself, then he still had a glimmer of hope of survival.
Ye Yuan believed all along that White Light was not such an ill-fated person!
Following Ye Yuan putting away the Junyi Sword, the murderous aura on him dissipated considerably. That lofty suppression for
ce on Heavenly Tiger King's body also disappeared along with it.
Heavenly Tiger King was shocked in his heart. He was completely unable to imagine what kind of strength the other party had, to be able to make him unable to even use demonic divine essence!
Ye Yuan looked at Heavenly Tiger King coldly and said, "Speak, what's the deal with this Magic Eye Grotto! You should be clear that you don't have a second chance!"
"Dare not, dare not! Heavenly Tiger will definitely say all that I know and say it without reserve!"
How did the current Heavenly Tiger King still have any mettle of a hegemon of a region?
In front of Ye Yuan, he was like a well-behaved little kitten, meek to the extreme.
He knew that that powerhouse hiding in the dark only needed a thought to be able to kill him!
Heavenly Tiger King deliberately shrunk his body, becoming half a size shorter than Ye Yuan. He carefully paid attention to his wording before slowly saying, "The Skydemon Mountain Range under our Empyrean Cloudridge's command has three forbidden lands: Purple Void Summit, Cloudsea Bamboo Forest, as well as the Magic Eye Grotto. Purple Void Summit is the roosting place of Empyrean Cloudridge, while the other two are death zones! No one knows what's inside the Magic Eye Grotto. But I heard that back then, there was a rank six great demon who had once gone in before. However, he never came out again. Since then, no one dare to enter anymore."
Speaking up to here, Heavenly Tiger King could not resist sneaking a peek at Ye Yuan but discovered that Ye Yuan was still emotionless, unable to discern what he was thinking at all.
Suddenly, Ye Yuan turned around and walked over toward Tigerheart again.
The Heavenly Tiger King looked at Ye Yuan in surprise and discovered that he actually started treating Tigerheart again!
Under Ye Yuan's marvelous skills, Tigerheart's heart grew in strength little by little.
After five days, Tigerheart appeared in front of the Heavenly Tiger King brimming with vitality and vigor.
Until now, the Heavenly Tiger King still did not quite dare to believe it. He said to Ye Yuan gratefully, "Many thanks, Your Excellency!"
