Right at this time, Tigerheart's breakthrough finally completed!
Seeing the corpses of the fierce beasts all over the ground, Tigerheart's heart was greatly shaken.
"This … This was all done by Lord Ye Yuan? Just how terrifying is his strength?!"
Tigerheart had never thought that a human's strength could actually be daunting to such an extent.
Facing the encirclement of a peak late-stage rank four fierce beast as well as a large number of fierce beasts, he was actually still able to counter-attack so sharply.
Lord Ye Yuan's strength was really too horrifying.
One had to know, he was just a Fifth Firmament Divine Lord!
"You dumb tiger, what are you still stoning for? Quickly go save His Excellency!"
Ning Tianping's eyes could not help turning bloodshot when he saw Ye Yuan getting injured.
Seeing that Tigerheart was actually in a daze there, he could not refrain from bellowing loudly.
Chapter 1776 - Give to You.
Tigerheart suddenly trembled. His figure suddenly shot out explosively.
Breaking through to late-stage rank four, Tigerheart's speed increased explosively, arriving at Ye Yuan's side in a blink of an eye. He directly hauled Ye Yuan up and left.
Getting hit by only a single move, Ye Yuan's insides were in upheaval, already sustaining serious injuries.
But at this time, Ning Tianping fell into heavy encirclement and found it very hard to break free.
Ye Yuan forcefully suppressed his injuries. Waving his hand, it was a dozen over rays of sword light, directly hacking those fierce beasts into pieces.
"Go!"
Ye Yuan gave a cold cry, pulling Ning Tianping and getting on the tiger back together.
Behind them, a group of fierce beasts was in hot pursuit.
Fortunately, Tigerheart's speed was extremely fast. Those fierce beasts could not catch up for the time being.
"Are you alright, Your Excellency?" Ning Tianping asked with a concerned look.
Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "I'm fine! I'll recover from my injuries first!"
As he said, Ye Yuan swallowed a medicinal pill and immediately started recuperating from his injuries on Tigerheart's back.
That blow from the Sky Thunder Raging Ox Beast was extremely heavy. If it were an ordinary Fifth Firmament Divine Lord, they would have long been slaughtered.
"This Heavenly Dao tattoo is indeed powerful. Otherwise, even if I have the Nine Transformations Golden Body, I probably couldn't withstand this blow either, right?" Ye Yuan said with vicissitudes of emotion in his heart.
Entering the Heavenspan Mountain's realm fog that time and obtaining this Heavenspan Mountain tattoo, he truly benefited endlessly.
After a short while, Ye Yuan's complexion gradually became rosy.
"Your Excellency, that bunch of fierce beasts are like crazy, chasing us all the way and not letting us go!" Tigerheart said.
Ye Yuan's face fell slightly and he said, "These fierce beasts seem to want to force us to a certain place! I feel that they seem to be controlled by something."
From the beginning, Ye Yuan felt that the states of these fierce beasts were not right.
The moment these words came out, Tigerheart and Ning Tianping's expressions both changed drastically.
"This … Then what should we do?" Ning Tianping said worriedly.
Ye Yuan mused for a moment, his eyes revealing a firm look as he said, "Since someone wants to meet us, then let's make a trip!"
Ning Tianping and Tigerheart were naturally very worried. But since Ye Yuan made a decision, they still carried it out firmly.
Ye Yuan naturally did not want to go through dangers. But if White Light was thrown in, then he very likely encountered danger too.
Since that was the case, he had to take this risk.
Just as they were running, a gloomy and dark cave entrance appeared ahead.
Before approaching yet, a gust of Yin wind directly blew over, making the three people feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts.
"Your Excellency, what a terrifying Yin wind. There's likely an extremely powerful existence inside here!" Ning Tianping said.
Ye Yuan's face fell and he said, "Go in!"
Tigerheart did not hesitate in the slightest. With a few lunges, he dashed straight in.
"Your Excellency, those fierce beasts … didn't seem to have chased in!" Tigerheart said.
Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Looks like it was someone who wanted us to enter this place! Come, let's go in. I want to take a look and what the hell this place has."
...
After Ye Yuan three people's figures disappeared, four to five figures appeared at the entrance of the cave.
These few people were each riding a mount.
"Heh, that rank five evil spirit inside, we were just vexed over being unable to deal with it. I didn't expect that there were two suckers who delivered themselves to the doorstep," said one of the gray-robed men1.
The gray-robed man rode a white tiger, his aura seemingly very powerful.
"It's still Eldest Senior Brother who is brilliant! Evil spirits like to possess humans the most. Once it seizes possession of those two scapegoats, it will definitely be in a period of weakness. At that time, we'll be able to sit down and reap the spoils without lifting a finger. The Yin Spirit Stone and the Nine Yin Soul Devouring Grass inside this Blackspirit Cave will be ours!" Beside the gray-robed man, a girl dressed in a fiery-red long skirt said.
"Haha, as long as we get these two items, our Spirit Controlling Sect will definitely take first place in this trial." Another person said.
The gray-robed man continued saying, "Speaking of which, that Fifth Firmament Divine Lord guy has such powerful strength! Under the encirclement and assault of hundreds of fierce beasts, he could actually make a full retreat. If his realm was a little higher, I'm afraid we won't even be his match."
Speaking of this, the other few people's faces turned slightly apprehensive.
Ye Yuan three people's actions had actually always been under their surveillance.
But the combat power that Ye Yuan exhibited made each and every one of them extremely shocked.
A Fifth Firmament Divine Lord was actually still able to make a full retreat under the encirclement and suppression of a group of late-stage rank four fierce beasts.
What was even more frightening was that there was even a peak late-stage rank four fierce beast inside.
At first, they only wanted to scare Ye Yuan and force Ye Yuan away.
As for Tigerheart's life or death, they did not care at all.
Who knew that Ye Yuan actually did not escape and instead rushed into the beast horde alone.
Fortunately, that peak late-stage rank four fierce beast's strength was quite powerful and could still suppress Ye Yuan.
Otherwise, it would really be tough for them to operate.
Even so, they were also startled by the combat power Ye Yuan displayed.
The face of the woman in red clothes also revealed a look of surprise and said, "The cultivation method that this guy cultivates is different from ours. He likely came in from the Heavenspan World. Could it be that … the Heavenspan World's martial artists are all so powerful?"
The gray-robed man shook his head and said, "Impossible! That kid is definitely a top prodigy in the Heavenspan World! Sword Dao law fused with third firmament spatial law, such talent is rare in the world. Even in the Heavenspan World, it's absolutely impossible for him to be an unknown person too. He must be a major faction's top disciple. However, this has nothing to do with us. Either way, he's dead for sure. Let's go in. I reckon that that kid had already been taken possession of right now. Dragging it on won't be good for us."
Finished talking, the few people entered inside the cave together.
This cave was very similar to the Yin Wind Den that Ye Yuan entered back then. But the evil spirits inside were clearly much more powerful compared to the Yin Wind
Den.
However, the strengths of the Spirit Controlling Sect's people were also extremely strong.
Especially the gray-robed man, his strength already reached half-step Celestial Deity Realm, the strongest existence among the party.
Ordinary evil spirits could not approach him at all.
The party gradually went deep in and also became especially careful.
Suddenly, two figures appeared ahead. The gray-robed man focused his eyes and looked. Who was it if not Ye Yuan and Ning Tianping?
The gray-robed man swept a glance around the cave and discovered that there was indeed no longer that rank five evil spirit, and was immediately overjoyed.
"Hahaha, you two fools, indeed seized possession of these two humans! Now, I'll send you guys on your way! The Yin Spirit Stone and the Nine Yin Soul Devouring Grass are our Spirit Controlling Sect's!" said the gray-robed man as he laughed loudly.
Right at this time, an icy-cold aura came out from Ye Yuan's body.
He suddenly opened his mouth, looked at the gray-robed man, and said, "You deserve death!"
The gray-robed man was indifferent and said coolly, "I deserve death? Hahaha, if you were at your prime, I'd be somewhat scared of you. This appearance right now, best forget about this kind of threatening!"
Ye Yuan's gaze was icy-cold, his body emitting waves of gloomy and cold aura.
A terrifying figure drifted out of Ye Yuan's body.
The gray-robed man's expression changed drastically and he said in disbelief, "This … How is this possible? You … You weren't possessed?"
Ye Yuan sneered and said, "Like to be possessed so much? Then, I'll give him to you!" I don't know why 2 instead of 3, maybe Tigerheart wasn't considered since they were riding on his back?
Chapter 1777 - Big Brother Is Here to Pick You Up
The gray-robed man revealed a look of shock. He was seriously unable to imagine how a Fifth Firmament Divine Lord escaped the fate of being possessed.
Furthermore, looking at this appearance, this evil spirit was actually even being used by Ye Yuan currently!
"L-Little Brother, actually … actually, this was all a misunderstanding!" the gray-robed man said with an ugly expression.
He never would have thought that the scheme he designed meticulously actually buried him alive currently.
Not only was this kid not possessed, he actually even used this evil spirit to deal with him instead.
One should not look at how he was currently a half-step Celestial Deity. Because in front of a rank five evil spirit, it was still not enough to look at.
That was an existence that could rival Celestial Deity Realm!
"Misunderstanding? Those fierce beasts outside were all controlled by you, right? Driving us in was in order to have this rank five evil spirit seize possession. Don't tell me that this wasn't your doing!" Ye Yuan said coldly.
The gray-robed man's expression was incomparably ugly. He did not expect that Ye Yuan actually even guessed this.
"Little Brother, you guys should be both from the Heavenspan World, right? Bamboo Groove Void Realm doesn't allow the appearance of the Heavenspan World's humans. We're all the Spirit Controlling Sect's disciples, having a trial in this sundered boundary. In order to seize the Yin Spirit Stone and Nine Yin Soul Devouring Grass inside this cave, that's why we made this decision. Our Spirit Controlling Sect's status inside the Bamboo Groove Void Realm is very high. As long as Little Brother you let us off, our Spirit Controlling Sect will definitely keep you safe!" The gray-robed man's eyes swiveled as he blurted out more information.
He was certain that Ye Yuan was a genius who was inexperienced in the affairs of the world. This time, he likely came out to train, that was why he strayed into the sundered boundary.
This kind of people, intimidating with threats and beguiling with benefits a little, it was very easy to fall for it.
Either way, Ye Yuan was completely clueless about the Bamboo Groove Void Realm's affairs.
Sure enough, when Ye Yuan heard the gray-robed man's words, his expression changed slightly and he said, "Want me to let you all off, also can. But you have to promise me a condition!"
The moment the gray-robed man heard, he could not help being wildly elated in his heart, secretly thinking that this punk was indeed easy to hoodwink!
He hurriedly said, "Whatever condition Little Brother has, feel free to speak up. Just take it as we offended Little Brother and making an apology to you."
Ye Yuan said coolly, "Your mount is pretty good, I want it!"
The gray-robed man's expression changed, his face revealing a look of reluctance.
When Ye Yuan saw his expression, he immediately turned cold and said, "Why? Can't bear to part with it?"
The gray-robed man had an awkward look. This white tiger's bloodline was extremely pure. There was a lot of room for future development, not like his other mounts.
For this, he expended considerable effort.
The gray-robed man thought, this kid knows good stuff, to actually want my white tiger the moment he opened his mouth! Forget it, hold him steady first before talking. As long as I trick him back to the sect, wouldn't this white tiger still be mine?
"H-Haha, not hiding from little brother, but I really can't quite bear to part with it. But just now, it was indeed our fault. Then I'll bear the pain and give it to Little Brother!"
The gray-robed man had a reluctant look as well, lightly patting the white tiger. The white tiger came to Ye Yuan's side very obediently.
Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan's heart was full of monstrous killing intent.
It was just that he did not reveal a single trace of it.
That was right, this white tiger was none other than precisely White Light!
The reason why he did not take action for so long was also precisely because of White Light.
Ye Yuan recognized him the moment he laid eyes on him.
But very clearly, White Light did not recognize him.
Or should he say, he was unable to recognize Ye Yuan at all!
Ye Yuan did not understand this Spirit Controlling Sect's methods and did not dare to easily show it.
The current White Light was like a docile kitten. If the gray-robed man made him go east, he absolutely would not head west.
Without a doubt, he was controlled by this Spirit Controlling Sect's disciple with some kind of method.
At the thought that his brother was actually at the mercy of others like so, the killing intent in Ye Yuan's heart was practically about to burst his body.
Ye Yuan did not have the slightest clue about the Bamboo Groove Void Realm. If this Spirit Controlling Sect's method had some unique aspects, a moment of impulsiveness would harm White Light instead.
Although Ye Yuan was confident, it was not to the point of arrogance yet.
He did not have confidence that he could get rid of this beast controlling method.
Ye Yuan lightly stroked White Light's fur, revealing a very pleased expression.
"Mn, indeed pretty good! What you should do, don't need me to teach you, right?" Ye Yuan frowned and said.
The gray-robed man chuckled and said, "Little Brother don't blame, this beast is a transformed demonic beast and doesn't listen to taming. That's why I used the Dark Soul Pearl to suppress his beast soul. Originally, I planned on bringing him to the Spirit Controlling Sect to tame him properly and make him form a spirit beast contract with me. Since Little Brother likes him, then I'll give the Dark Soul Pearl together to Little Brother."
The gray-robed man had a smile on his face, as if very sincere.
When doing a favor, go all the way. Either way, this Dark Soul Pearl would still return to his hands in the end.
When Ye Yuan heard, he could not help saying with great interest, "Oh? Your Spirit Controlling Sect is indeed a little interesting. This kind of means isn't commonly seen in the Heavenspan World. I wonder how you plan on taming him?"
The gray-robed man chortled loudly and said
, "These demonic beasts are all inherently lowly beings! Want to tame him, one naturally has to teach him a good lesson, then continuously suppress his beast soul with my Spirit Controlling Sect's secret art. Even if he's the reincarnation of Buddha's warrior attendant, he'll also have no choice but to submit in the end."
The moment Ye Yuan heard, flames of fury flared up in his heart all at once.
He virtually used all of his strength before controlling his anger.
"Oh? So that's how it is. Then what's that Dark Soul Pearl? How to use it?"
Ye Yuan was like a curious baby at this time, continuously inquiring about the Spirit Controlling Sect's methods.
The gray-robed man was patient, silently chanting the spell. A surge of boundless soul force gushed out, entering straight into White Light's sea of consciousness.
Then, Ye Yuan saw a dark-black pearl slowly fly out.
And right at this time, White Light's eyes finally turned from turbid to clear.
When he saw Ye Yuan, his entire body could not help trembling, tears bursting out.
"B-Big Brother!"
Ye Yuan's face finally revealed a radiant smile. Lighting stroking that soft fur of White Light, he revealed a trace of a tender smile and said, "Alright, everything is over, Big Brother is here to pick you up!"
When the Spirit Controlling Sect's people saw this scene, their countenance could not help changing.
Especially the gray-robed man, his expression became extremely ugly.
"Punk, turns out that you guys know each other! You … You tricked me?"
At this point, how did the gray-robed man still not know what Ye Yuan's goal was?
It was just that he never dreamed that Ye Yuan actually knew this white tiger!
Now only did he know that this kid was clearly aiming for the white tiger!
He thought that he deceived Ye Yuan, but he did not know that he had been led by the nose by Ye Yuan all along.
He regretted in his heart!
It turned out that he had a trump card in his hands, but he gave it to the other party for free!
"Big Brother, I … I …"
Along the way, White Light had suffered no idea how much hardship. Being overcome by sorrow at this time, he could not control anymore and dug into Ye Yuan's embrace like a child, bursting into tears.
