"Pfft!"
"Hahaha …"
A wave of guffaws came from all around. Zheng Qian's face was red with a tint of black, wishing to find a hole in the ground to tunnel into.
He immediately revolved divine essence, wanting to grow hair. But it was completely useless.
He discovered that the pores on top of his head seemed to all be sealed, unable to grow hair at all.
This shock was by no means insignificant!
He looked toward Ye Yuan with immense shock but saw that Ye Yuan was currently looking at him with a look of amus.e.m.e.nt. Ye Yuan said with a smile, "This time, just take it as a small punishment. If there's still a next time, you won't get off so easily!"
Done talking, Ye Yuan brought along Ning Siyu, turned around, and left.
Chapter 2018 - Does This Work?
"Such an exquisite fire controlling technique! Burned a head full of hair but the person is completely fine."
"That young man is really capable! I even thought that he was bragging!"
"Looks like tigers are crouching and dragons are hidden in the Cloudpill Summit this time!"
...
After the loud laughter, everyone finally came to realize the truth about the prowess of Ye Yuan's fire controlling technique.
Even the bald Zheng Qian also felt lingering fear.
His experience was more vivid than others. The fire burned on top of his head, not leaving him a single strand. It was as if it was shaved using a razor blade.
But he did not feel any heat at all.
This fire controlling technique was simply inconceivable.
Most likely, even Big Brother Qun also could not do it to this extent either, right?
Zheng Qian thought in his heart.
Looking at the direction Ye Yuan left, Zheng Qian gnashed his teeth in hatred and said, "Damn fellow, don't let me run into him again! To dare humiliate my Zheng Family, this young master will definitely teach you a lesson!"
...
"Your Excellency, you were really too cool just now! Hehe, that snotty brat actually still wanted to challenge you, really overestimating his own ability," Ning Siyu said with an excited face.
Ye Yuan shot her a fierce glare and said crossly, "You still have the cheek to say? What number one alchemy genius? You're also not scared of spraining your tongue! Talented people remain in concealment in this Heavenspan World, so who dares to claim to be number one?"
Ye Yuan was very confident, but he was never arrogant.
This Heavenspan World was too big; geniuses were also akin to schools of carps crossing the river.
This title of number one was too big!
Even reaching Medicine Ancestor that kind of realm, didn't he also encounter an opponent like the High Priest?
If he was not apprehensive of the High Priest, why would he say 'Ask Not' two words?
Ning Siyu stayed for a long time with Ye Yuan and knew his temper. She giggled and said, "I don't care. Either way, you are the number one alchemy genius in my heart! Moreover, among the young generation, who can reach your boundary? Even in the entire Heavenspan World, it also can't be found, right?"
Ye Yuan was rendered speechless and waved his hand, feeling lazy to talk anymore.
Bringing Ning Siyu and strolling one round in the outer-city and having purchased some rare spirit medicines, the two planned on heading for the inner-city.
The passageway leading to the inner-city, there was currently a group of soldiers guarding it. Each person had to go through stringent screening.
The two were just about to go over but saw a group of people currently coming over from another direction.
One of them was extremely eye-catching. Who was it if not the bald Zheng Qian?
When Ning Siyu saw Zheng Qian, she could not refrain from laughing out loud with a snigger again.
His Excellency was also such a troll. He burned Zheng Qian's hair and even did not let him grow it out.
A fine handsome youth became a little bald donkey. How to let him go and find a girl in the future?
Zheng Qian also just happened to look over. Noticing Ye Yuan, he immediately yelled out.
"Big Brother Buqun, it's this fellow who claims to be the number one alchemy genius! You have to take revenge for me!"
Beside Zheng Qian, a slightly older youth was sizing Ye Yuan up with an unfriendly expression.
He slowly walked toward Ye Yuan and said with a cold smile, "A brat whose hair isn't even fully grown also dares to claim to be the number one alchemy genius? It was you who burned Young Brother Qian's hair?"
"Haha, this punk probably came from some countryside and has never seen much of the world. Think that having a bit of ability, he can be number one under the heavens. In this Cloudpill Summit, even Brother Zheng doesn't dare claim to be the number one genius. This little brat actually dares proclaim to be the number one genius."
Another young man stepped forward and looked at Ye Yuan with a contemptuous look.
Zheng Qian also stepped forward and looked at Ye Yuan as he said with a cold smile, "Big Brother Buqun, this brat is ridiculously arrogant and even said want to compete with him, invite our Zheng Family's ancestor out."
When the others heard, they all revealed amused smiles.
This brat did not even know how to come up with a draft before boasting!
The young man beside Zheng Buqun said with a disdainful look, "Haha, kid, do you know what kind of person the Zheng Family's ancestor is? That's a Seven-star Alchemy God, Dao Realm expert. Just the likes of you, this snotty brat, dares to challenge the Zheng Family's ancestor?"
These few people each threw a sentence in, deriding Ye Yuan non-stop. Ning Siyu was indignant.
She said with a scornful look, "So what if Seven-star Alchemy God? Even Empyrean Flutterfeather addresses my lord as his brother too! Could it be that your family's ancestor is stronger than Empyrean Flutterfeather?"
The moment everyone heard, not only were they not intimidated, but the look of ridicule on their faces also grew thicker.
That young man said with a big laugh, "Empyrean Flutterfeather? Huhu, little girl, Empyrean Flutterfeather is one of the Cloudpill Summit's grandmasters. How exalted is his position? This kid addresses him as his brother? Stop joking around with me, alright?"
Zheng Buqun shook his head and laughed in spite of himself when he heard that and said, "Turns out that it's two braggarts who don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. I was wondering which genius. This kind of ignorant fool, there will always be some in each Cloudpill Summit."
"Hahaha!"
The two people's discussion aroused a series of mocking voices from all around.
What kind of identity did Empyrean Flutterfeather have? That was an important character that was on par with Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital's Empyrean Pilljade.
Beneath Heavenly Emperor, they were practically the pinnacle-most existences.
This kind of powerhouse would address a True God Realm junior as a brother?
You have got to be kidding!
Ye Yuan raised his brows slightly and said coolly, "Done talking? If you're done, get lost for me."
Zheng Buqun's brows raised up and he said, "You want to enter the inner-city? Kid, do you have the Cloudpill invitation?"
Ye Yuan said coolly, "Cloudpill invitation? What's that?"
The young man who was surnamed Duan could not help laughing as he said, "You don't even know what's the Cloudpill invitation and you dare to come and take part in the Cloudpill Summit? I'm telling you, only alchemists holding the Cloudpill invitation have the qualifications to enter the inner-city. As for you, go back where you came from."
The bald Zheng Qian laughed loudly and said, "I was wondering what expert and where you were from. Messing around for half a day, you don't even have the Cloudpill invitation!"
At this very moment, Zheng Qian was even more certain that Ye Yuan was some martial arts ancient family's descendant. Although his Martial Dao strength w
as very strong, he was completely clueless about Alchemy Dao.
As for fire control, martial artists adept in fire-attribute cultivation methods would likewise be very formidable in controlling fire.
He admitted that Ye Yuan was a martial arts genius. But this place was an alchemy summit. What did it have to do with martial artists?
Geniuses alchemists able to come to the Cloudpill Summit would not care about martial artists at all.
Because the statuses of these alchemists were much higher than ordinary martial artists.
Zheng Buqun waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and get lost, kid. Stop making a spectacle of yourself here. Do you see their eyes? You're currently just like a clown jumping around. This place is the world of alchemists, it's … fateless with you!"
The young man surnamed Duan turned his head and said to a soldier, "Commander Gan, looks like this kid's skin is very thick, I'll have to trouble you to send him off!"
That Commander Gan was amused from watching for a long time by the side. Hearing this, he slowly walked in front of Ye Yuan, reached his hand out, and said with a sullen face, "Leave, please! If you don't go, then this commander will be personally taking action and sending you out of the city!"
This Commander Gan was a Fifth Firmament True God powerhouses. There was naturally power when he spoke.
Ye Yuan looked at Commander Gan, slowly took out a token, and said coolly, "I don't have whatever Cloudpill invitation, but wonder if this thing can go in or not?"
Chapter 2019 - Luckily You Know
Commander Gan did not even look at the token in Ye Yuan's hand and just said with a cold snort, "Whatever thing is also useless, this commander only acknowledges the Cloudpill invitation."
"Haha, do you think that Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital is some random place? Casually taking out a token and you can go in? What a bumpkin!" Zheng Qian said with a look of disdain.
"The Cloudpill Summit only acknowledges the invitation and won't recognize other things. You don't even know this bit of general knowledge and also dare to come and take part in the Cloudpill Summit?" Zheng Buqun said with a cold smile.
They were really brought to tears from laughing at watching the joke today.
The current Ye Yuan was completely a bumpkin who had never seen much of the world before in front of them.
This fellow was completely clueless about the Cloudpill Summit, but he ran in front of them, these alchemy geniuses to posture, adding a bunch of merriment.
Seeing these few people's reactions, Ye Yuan was also taken aback.
He looked at the grandmaster token in his hand and felt baffled.
It seemed like this thing was not too useful!
He even thought that this thing looked very impressive. But taking it out, people did not recognize it at all.
"Kid, looks like you really want this commander to take action!"
In Commander Gan's eyes, Ye Yuan was merely a little child showing off; talking big to impress people.
He released his aura and directly grabbed at Ye Yuan.
The aura of Fifth Firmament True God was suddenly released, locking right onto Ye Yuan.
While Zheng Qian and the rest revealed gloating looks, looking at this scene calmly.
Ye Yuan's brows furrowed. This Commander Gan struck rather heavily. With this grab, if his strength was inadequate, he would really be heavily injured.
Clearly, this guy was currying favor with these few ancient families' descendants and deliberately dealt a heavy blow.
It was only to see him snort coldly. Suddenly, a Life and Death Seal fired out.
A Fifth Firmament True God versus a Third Firmament True God; Commander Gan thought that he would capture him easily.
Who knew that the moment Ye Yuan made his move, that pressure that could topple mountains and overturn the seas came from head-on.
Bang!
Commander Gan was caught off-guard and directly smacked flying by this Life and Death Seal. He seemed to be injured in an extremely wretched manner.
Zheng Buqun's pupils constricted and he said in surprise, "This … How is this possible?"
The young man surnamed Duan also said with surprise, "How can this kid's strength be so strong?"
They were all waiting for Ye Yuan to suffer a loss. Who knew that Ye Yuan was fine and actually crippled Commander Gan in one move.
An initial-stage True God Realm striking a middle-stage True God Realm flying away in one move, this sort of thing was too outrageous to hear.
Ye Yuan looked too unremarkable, a thousand over years old, how strong could he be?
Yet, he wasted Commander Gan in one move!
"S-Still in a daze for what? This kid actually dared to cause trouble, c-cripple him for me!" Commander Gan gritted his teeth and roared at the soldiers.
At once, a large group of guards rushed forward and surrounded Ye Yuan in the middle.
Ye Yuan frowned slightly. He also did not expect to cause such a big commotion. Who knew that these guys did not even recognize the grandmaster token.
Actually, this could not be blamed on Commander Gan they all too. How could a grandmaster token this sort of thing be what Commander Gan would know of?
One had to know, in the entire land of Southern Border, there was only a total of 14 grandmaster tokens.
Those who possessed grandmaster tokens were all people with extremely revered statuses. They were at least middle and late-stage Empyrean super powerhouses too.
The moment these people appeared in Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital, there would immediately be Empyrean powerhouses that came out to welcome them. They would not enter from the city gates in an ostentatious manner like this at all.
Ye Yuan did not know the inner reason. He only wanted to stroll around more in the city, who knew that it caused such much misunderstanding.
But at this point, Ye Yuan naturally would not hold back either.
These guards were mostly at the Celestial Deity Realm. There was also a portion of True God Realms. But in front of Ye Yuan, it was completely lacking. He knocked down these guards with a few moves.
Zheng Qian's expression was ugly to the extreme as he said, "How can this guy's strength be so powerful?"
Ye Yuan's age was merely similar to his. But his combat power was no idea how many levels higher than him.
Looking across the Southern Border, there were also not many capable of surpassing Ye Yuan in martial arts.
But Zheng Buqun chuckled and said, "This kid is courting death himself!
Zheng Qian was taken back and said, "Why?"
Zheng Buqun smiled and said, "Originally, he was swindling people. If he was given a beating and thrown out, the matter would be settled. But now, he caused such a big commotion. There will immediately be someone who comes out to take care of him. What's the use even if he's any stronger? Can he be stronger than Ninth Firmament True God powerhouses?"
The moment Zheng Qian heard, he immediately reacted to it and said with a big laugh, "Haha, this kid is dead for sure!"
"Who is it? To dare cause trouble in my Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital?"
The voice had yet to fade when a voice closed-in from far away, arriving in an instant.
A burly man with a curly beard appeared in front of Ye Yuan, his expression unfriendly.
When Commander Gan saw the curly-bearded burly man, it was as if he grasped a life-saving straw, hurriedly saying, "Lord Qin Chong, this punk doesn't have an invitation. I chased him out of the city, not only did he not leave, he even beat me and the soldiers to serious injuries!"
Qin Chong also had a fiery temper. Hearing Commander Gan's words, he immediately flared up with anger.
The moment Qin Chong heard, he said in a great rage, "What? Impudent brat, to actually dare …"
When Zheng Buqun and the youth surnamed Duan saw Qin Chong fly off the handle, their faces revealed an expression of gloating over others' misfortune.
Qin Chong was a Ninth Firmament True God might
y expert. No matter how heaven-defying Ye Yuan was, could he still deal with him?
Qin Chong was just about to go crazy, suddenly turning his head to look at Ye Yuan, but saw Ye Yuan slowly take out a token. Ye Yuan said, "I gave this to them to see this, but they all didn't recognize it. I wonder if … you recognize it?"
Ye Yuan also asked probingly. If this Qin Chong still did not recognize it, then he could only slip away.
Zheng Buqing scoffed when he saw the situation and said, "Still taking this lousy token out, could it be that … this kid is really a fool?"
Fortunately, Qin Chong's reaction made Ye Yuan heave a sigh in relief.
The moment Qin Chong saw the token, his pair of eyes immediately went wide.
He looked at the token and looked at Ye Yuan again, his eyes full of disbelief.
"This … This …" Qin Chong stammered and actually could not speak.
How could a grandmaster token be in the hands of a young man like this?
Commander Gan did not know the inner reason and urged, "Lord Qin Chong, what's wrong with you? This brat is too insolent, you mustn't let him off easily!"
Smash!
A clear slap sounded out, Commander Gan was directly slapped flying out.
This slap made everyone stunned.
Before figuring out what was going on, they heard Qin Chong roar, "You scoundrelly thing! Don't drag me down if you want to die! Also, you all, are you in a rush to reincarnate? All put away your weapons for me!"
The group of guards looked at each other, blank looks on their faces.
Suddenly, Qin Chong knelt down with a thud and said to Ye Yuan with cupped fists, "These scoundrelly things are insensible. Your Excellency, please don't take offense! When this lowly one returns, I'll definitely teach them a good lesson!"
"This … What's going on here? Lord Qin Chong actually knelt down to a Third Firmament True God?"
"Just what background does this kid have?"
"Could it be that … that token is very impressive?"
...
Cries of exclamations sounded out all around, completely knocked dizzy by Qin Chong's actions.
Ye Yuan put away the token and let out a long sigh in relief, and then he said smilingly, "Luckily you know. Otherwise, it would really be somewhat troublesome."
