After dealing with them, Dai Yang said with a cold snort, "These guys are more stubborn one after another. I'm afraid that they have succ.u.mbed to that Ye Yuan's influence! I'm very curious now, whether that kid called Ye Yuan has three heads and six arms or not!"
Deng Wei faced the Lu Ziyi in the seat of honor with a fawning smile and said, "Miss Ziyi, what should we do next?"
Lu Ziyi said coolly, "Everyone that has connections to Ye Yuan, throw them all into the dungeons! When that Ye Yuan returns, detain him and bring him to Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital along with the others."
Deng Wei and Dai Yang exchanged a glance, both secretly surprised in their hearts.
Although this Lu Ziyi was a woman, her methods were not an ordinary kind of cruel!
This way, it was equivalent to rounding up the Southridge Ten Cities in one fell swoop.
"But, there are still two True God Realm powerhouses in this city. That First Firmament True God isn't a problem. But that Fourth Firmament True God is likely not easy to deal with!" Deng Wei looked at Lu Ziyi meaningfully and said.
Lu Ziyi slowly stood up and said coolly, "Leave that Fourth Firmament True God to me. The others, you guys go and take care of it. If anyone resists, directly kill them!"
...
At this time, Bai Chen, White Light, Ning Tianping, and the rest were all gathered together.
"These people aren't here with good intentions!" Bai Chen said with a frown.
Lu Ziyi and the rest were all middle-stage True God Realm powerhouses. He was not a match for them at all.
White Light's expression changed, and he said, "Who cares! If really can't work it out, fight it out with them!"
Leng Qiuling shook her head and said, "It isn't advisable to be impulsive for this matter. With their strength currently, we're not their match at all. This matter, we can only wait for Ye Yuan to come and resolve it."
Under the effect of Ye Yuan's medicinal pills, the few of them were all peak Ninth Firmament Celestial Deity powerhouses now. It was just that they were still a step away from True God Realm.
However, this kind of power was not worth mentioning at all in front of Lu Ziyi three people.
"But these few fellows are so insidious. The moment they entered the city, they sealed off all of the array formations. Now, news can't go out at all. If Big Brother really comes back, wouldn't he be walking right into a trap?" White Light said with a frown.
But Bai Chen shook his head and said, "I agree with Miss Leng's opinion. With Master's talent, he definitely already broke through to the True God Realm now. Even if he's not a match for them, these few people can't make him stay either. As long as Master is fine, everything is alright."
Chapter 1998 - Jiang Ming, I've Remembered It!
Very soon, the news spread out.
People from the City Lord Manor as well as powerhouses that were related to Ye Yuan, including those at the Celestial Deity Realm were all thrown into prison.
One True God Realm powerhouse, Bai Chen, was directly smacked by a palm move from his opponent, resulting in serious injury.
The black-clothed armored guards that the three great powerhouses brought took charge of the entire city's defense.
Everyone was only allowed to enter and not allowed to go out.
The entire city was in a stir!
These few years, martial artists lived very comfortably in Heavenly Eagle Imperial City under Ye Yuan's governance.
Heavenly Eagle Imperial City's Alchemy Dao's prosperity also attracted a large number of martial artists.
The overall strength of the martial artists in the city already increased by a great deal.
These changes were visible in everyone's eyes.
The martial artists in the city were very averse to these black-clothed armored soldiers that suddenly appeared.
It was just that the strengths of these black-clothed armored troops were too strong. Hence, they did not dare to resist at all.
Everyone dared to get angry but did not dare to speak up.
"If only Lord Ye Yuan was in the city, these guys definitely won't dare to be unbridled."
"Sigh! I heard that the ones who came this time are Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital's middle-stage True God Realm powerhouses! Even if Lord Ye Yuan is here, it will likely be tough to stem the raging tides too."
"Behind them, stands an Empyrean powerhouse! Even thinking about it makes people tremble! Could it be that … Heavenly Eagle Imperial City is going to return to its state like in the past in the end? We barely experienced a few good days!"
Great imperial capitals were represented by Empyrean powerhouses.
Empyrean powerhouses represented invincibility!
At least, for an extremely long time, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City's martial artists never thought that they could get involved with Empyrean powerhouses.
This level of powerhouse could massacre countless imperial cities with a wave of a hand. They were not in the same world as them at all.
Now, being targeted by this kind of powerhouse, everyone bem.o.a.n.e.d endlessly in their hearts.
At least, the current days were much better than in the past. Who would be willing to return to the past?
"Oh, right, isn't there still a Fourth Firmament True God powerhouse in the city?"
No idea who spoke, it rekindled everyone's hope again.
What they did not know was that Lu Ziyi was currently confronting Bai Tong at this time.
"Am I making a move, or are you doing it yourself?" Lu Ziyi said coolly, without the slightest emotion.
Bai Tong said coolly, "I'll only use one move. If you can receive it, I'll enter the prison by myself."
He was currently merely an initial-stage Fourth Firmament True God, but Lu Ziyi was a peak Fifth Firmament True God.
There was practically a difference of two minor cultivation realms between the two people.
Although Bai Tong was an Empyrean powerhouse, his strength was not considered strong among Empyreans.
His most important identity was still an alchemist.
Lu Ziyi nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I'll give you this chance. Make your move!"
Bai Tong smiled slightly. Waving his hand, he pointed a finger out. The entire void started trembling.
Lu Ziyi's face revealed a slight look of surprise, but his expression turned to normal very quickly.
It was only to hear her give a delicate cry, her dainty palm smacking out without any mercy.
For a moment, a horrifying power of law was virtually going to punch through space.
Bai Tong's pupils constricted, immediately feeling tremendous pressure.
Bang!
Two powers of law collided fiercely in the air, Bai Tong's figure flew out backward.
Lu Ziyi looked at the Bai Tong who fell to the ground and said coolly, "Strength isn't bad, but t's just that it's still a bit lacking."
Finished talking, she left with her hands behind her back.
Bai Tong gave a bitter laugh, really having a feeling of a tiger who landed in a plain being bullied by a dog. But he still walked into the prison obediently.
...
When Ye Yuan stepped into Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, he immediately detected that something was wrong.
He furrowed his eyebrows but still walked over in the direction of the City Lord Manor.
"Lord Ye Yuan! Lord Ye Yuan came back!" Very soon, the martial artists in the city recognized Ye Yuan, all revealing half hopeful and half fearful faces.
Ye Yuan sensed the peculiarity in their gaze, but he did not pay mind and just answered with a smile.
Suddenly, a young Divine Lord Realm martial artist grabbed hold of Ye Yuan and said anxiously, "Lord Ye Yuan, you can't go to the City Lord Manor! Hurry up and leave!"
Ye Yuan's brows furrowed, thinking to himself that something indeed happened!
"What happened?" Ye Yuan asked.
The Divine Lord Realm martial artist said, "Your Excellency, do
n't care about it! Hurry up and go! It will be too late if you still don't leave! Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital's powerhouses have already surrounded the entire city until not even water can seep through, just waiting for your appearance!"
"Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital?" Ye Yuan was startled in his heart, not expecting that the problem actually came from Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital.
He did not become the Southridge patrolling inspector harboring the mentality of setting up a separatist regime. It was just that making him go to Nine Pledge Imperial Capital to report and pay his respects every day, he could not possibly do it.
As for Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital, that was naturally even more impossible.
Except, Ye Yuan did not expect that Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital actually intervened in the remote Southridge Ten Cities.
The Divine Lord Realm martial artist nodded and said, "Correct. They sent three middle-stage True God Realm powerhouses to come. Their means are all very formidable. Even that Fourth Firmament True God powerhouse was defeated. Hurry and leave! If still not leaving, it will really be too late."
Ye Yuan's pupils constricted when he heard this. Others did not know Bai Tong's identity, but Ye Yuan knew. Bai Tong was an Empyrean powerhouse!
Even if matching up against a Fifth Firmament True God, Bao Tong also should not lose.
Being able to defeat Bai Tong, the strength of the people that came this time was really very strong!
But what Ye Yuan was more worried about was still Bai Tong's safety.
"That Fourth Firmament True God you mentioned, is he alright?" Ye Yuan's tone gradually turned cold.
The Divine Lord Realm martial artist shook his head and said, "How can this lowly one know such things? Either way, the people from the City Lord Manor and people who are related to Your Excellency have virtually all already fallen into enemy hands; life and death unknown!"
Life and death unknown!
Ye Yuan's head went buzzing.
Bai Chen, White Light, Leng Qiuling, and Jiang Jadehall, they all were Ye Yuan's extremely close people.
If they all died, Ye Yuan would really go insane.
"Ye Yuan, it's true! Hurry and leave! The guards in the city now have all been swapped out. They have probably already gotten the news. If you still don't go, it will really be too late!" This Divine Lord Realm clearly respected Ye Yuan a lot; his words were full of concern.
Ye Yuan drew a deep breath and worked hard to calm himself down.
He knew that with this person's level, it was impossible to know the specifics of the matter.
This incident still had to meet the other party before it could be confirmed.
If … If someone really died, Ye Yuan would definitely destroy the Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital!
Ye Yuan suddenly beamed widely and asked, "Little Brother, what's your name?"
The Divine Lord Realm martial artist was taken aback and blurted out, "This … This lowly one is called Jiang Ming."
Ye Yuan nodded and said smilingly, "Jiang Ming, I've remembered it."
Finished talking, his figure moved, heading straight in the direction of the City Lord Manor.
But right then, an abnormality suddenly occurred.
A ray of sword light sped over like the wind from ten thousand feet away, arriving in an instant.
But the target was not Ye Yuan!
Ye Yuan naturally felt the sword light and abruptly wanted to turn around.
Except, it was already too late.
Bang!
Horrifying law undulations directly obliterated Jiang Ming!
How could a mere Divine Lord Realm powerhouse block a True God's sword?
"As a Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital's citizen, to actually turn traitor and tip people off; truly a commoner! Death isn't regrettable!"
A sweet-sounding voice closed in from afar.
The voice was so pleasant, but the person's action was so cruel.
Chapter 1999 - Lowly Commoner
Although this was on a bustling street, the entire city was incomparably quiet. Only this pleasant-sounding voice was reverberating.
Lu Ziyi walked over lightly just like that as if a heavenly maiden descending upon the mortal world.
That appearance made all life topple.
But in the eyes of the current Ye Yuan, this was a skeleton.
A pink skeleton!
She was heartless, she was cold, and she looked down on all living things.
In her eyes, she was heaven, not allowing the slightest bit of defiance.
"Your Excellency, hurry and go! It will be too late if you still don't leave!"
"Your Excellency, I'm called Jiang Ming!"
...
Jiang Ming only spoke a few sentences to Ye Yuan in total, the words still ringing in his ears.
It was also Ye Yuan's first time seeing this young Divine Lord Realm martial artist. He could see Jiang Ming's feelings of idolization toward him from the other party's eyes.
He was innocent.
But this woman killed him in front of him just like that!
Unforgivable!
An icy-cold killing intent instantly swept throughout the entire street.
On the streets, it was as if the temperature suddenly fell several degrees.
Lu Ziyi looked at Ye Yuan expressionlessly and said while having a pitying look, "Are you angry for a lowly commoner? Truly pitiful! It likewise also shows your incompetence! You couldn't save him and similarly can't save yourself too."
Not that Ye Yuan did not want to save, but that that sword move earlier grasped the situation too well.
His heart was full of worry over White Light and the rest. The moment he moved, he called forth all of his energy, and then the sword came from another direction. He had no time to turn around and save Jiang Ming at all.
Even if he knew spatial law, it also could not make it in time!
Ye Yuan's two eyes were icy-cold as he questioned, "In your eyes, is human life akin to grass? You are targeting me, so why make a move against an irrelevant person!"
Lu Ziyi had a calm look as she said, "A mere lowly commoner. If he's killed, then he's killed, what can you do to me? Moreover, he isn't an unrelated person. He tipped you off. Rebelling against us by giving information is the same crime as revolting!"
By the side, Deng Wei could not help laughing as he said, "Really a foolish guy! He's clearly so weak, yet he still wants to share his sympathy with such a lowly commoner. I really don't know how he cultivated reaching his realm."
Dai Yang also laughed in spite of himself and said, "This kid's cultivation speed is pretty fast. The intel that we received was that he might have broken through to the True God Realm already. I didn't think that he's already Third Firmament True God. However … it's still too weak!"
Lu Ziyi said coolly, "Rootless wood, waterless duckweed; no matter how high the realm, it's also futile."
These three people chimed in one after another. Heavenly Eagle's martial artists were uncomfortable all over when they listened.
In the eyes of these proud chosen of heaven, they all, these people, were simply insignificant existences.
One more, one less, it completely did not matter to these proud chosen of heaven.
Of course, it was like this in the entire Heavenspan World.
It was just that after experiencing Ye Yuan's rule, they felt that this was a heavenly paradise.
Ye Yuan was different from these high and mighty proud chosen of heaven!
He would fly into a great rage for an insignificant civilian.
This kind of warm feeling was what they had never experienced before.
Ye Yuan looked at Lu Ziyi, his face frosty as he said, "The three of you keep harping about him being a lowly commoner. Do you really think that you're dragons or phoenixes among men? In my eyes, you guys are the out-and-out lowly plebeians!"
His words were full of ridicule.
Lu Ziyi
's expression was calm and did not get angry. She just said coolly, "Indulging in contention of mouth and tongue? That laughable dignity of yours is actually utterly worthless. Okay, I'll give you a chance, if you can win any one out of the three of us, I can bring my men and leave."
Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital's understanding of Ye Yuan was actually not much.
They received a tip-off, saying that Ye Yuan was acting autonomously. It was only then they started paying attention to such a remote Southridge Ten Cities.
Looking into it slightly, they discovered that Southridge Ten Cities' situation was indeed somewhat abnormal.
Hence, that was why there was this operation.
The reason why they sent out such a powerful line-up was that they knew that a Fourth Firmament True God powerhouse had once appeared here before.
As for Ye Yuan, they did not place him in their eyes at all.
But Ye Yuan's appearance indeed made these three people somewhat surprised.
Logically speaking, Ye Yuan at most just broke through to the True God Realm currently. Who knew that he already reached the Third Firmament True God Realm so quickly.
But, even if it was Third Firmament True God, Lu Ziyi still did not take him seriously.
Initial-stage True God Realm and middle-stage True God Realm were on completely different levels.
Ye Yuan's gaze was frosty as he said, "No need! Today, none of you can leave! In your eyes, Jiang Ming is a lowly commoner. But in my eyes, he's ten thousand times nobler than you all. Hence, I'll use your blood to hold a memorial ceremony for Jiang Ming!"
Deng Wei laughed loudly when he heard it and said, "Ignorant thing, to actually place that lowly commoner in the same category as us. Are you trying to infuriate us? Well, you've succeeded. You'll regret it."
Finished talking, he slowly walked out, aura becoming stronger and stronger, climbing to the peak very quickly.
A Fifth Firmament True God!
When the martial artists in the city saw this commotion, each and every one of their expression changed abruptly. They could not help worrying for Ye Yuan.
They knew that every minor realm of True God Realm had a tremendous disparity; let alone that there was a small stage between Ye Yuan and Deng Wei!
