The Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital was the Myriad Treasure Tower's traditional faction. Since they came to beg for peace, the Cloudpill Establishment, these factions, naturally had to withdraw.
With this, Empyrean Lu Yan was virtually about to cry.
He thickened his face to go and find the Myriad Treasure Tower, hoping for the Myriad Treasure Tower to rejoin the Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital. But they did not buy it at all.
Empyrean Flutterfeather gave the instructions concerning the Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital's affairs that they would not get involved at all.
Wanting to have the Myriad Treasure Tower rejoin the Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital, it must get Ye Yuan's approval.
There was no choice. Under Empyrean Lu Yan's helplessness, he could only humble himself and come and beg Ye Yuan.
Normally, forget about that. Without the Myriad Treasure Tower, he could find other forces to refine medicinal pills.
But the problem was that Ye Yuan poisoned several thousand True God Realms to death previously. The Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital virtually had no power to fight!
At this juncture, without the support of powerful medicinal pills, he would have to be a lone general without an army for god knows how long.
The current Empyrean Lu Yan brought along Deng Yunzai and Dai Chunhao, just like three bullied wives; on tenterhooks.
Empyrean powerhouse, that was the pinnacle-most existence in this secular world, how high-spirited were they?
They had never thought that they would actually have this kind of emotion in front of a True God Realm junior one day.
Lu Yan gave a deep bow toward Ye Yuan and said, "Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital's Lu Yan pays respect to Grandmaster Ye!"
Chapter 2064 - Glory to Live in Heavenly Eagle!
This young man in front of him was the fellow who killed his precious daughter and slaughtered thousands of his subordinates.
Now, he actually had to show such solemn respects to the other party. He had no way to describe how uncomfortable this was.
But he also understood that with Ye Yuan's present status in the Southern Border, even if ten Lu Yans added up, he would also be inferior.
If not being backed by a heavenly emperor, Ye Yuan could plow Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital ten times over by randomly calling a few Empyreans.
Think about what kind of people Ye Yuan was associating with now?
Empyrean Flutterfeather, Empyrean Chaoyuan, and it was said that there were also the seven great reclusive alchemy ancient families' super powerhouses.
Any one of these people was not an existence that he could provoke.
Although the present Ye Yuan was still True God Realm, he already made him unable to look up to him.
"Empyrean Lu Yan coming to find this Ye, it really surprises me greatly!" Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile.
Lu Yan had an awkward look as he said, "This … The matters in the past was all this Lu who had eyes but couldn't discern Grandmaster Ye's true face, resulting in affronting Grandmaster. I hope that Grandmaster Ye is magnanimous and don't haggle over it with us."
Being under people's roof, there was no choice but to lower one's head.
At this time, how could an Empyrean's face still be wanted?
Moreover, even the Southern Border Alliance's big shots all lowered their heads and admitted their fault to Ye Yuan. What's wrong with him, a mere Second Firmament Empyrean, lowering his head?
Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, "If apologies have any use, then what do we still cultivate for? Lu Yan, back then, you commanded an army of 100 thousand martial artists and several thousand True God powerhouses. If this Ye's strength was lacking, this Heavenly Eagle would likely have not even dogs or fowls left anymore. You want to let matters go with this one light and fleeting sentence? Moreover, these few years, you all drove out the Myriad Treasure Tower. It's clearly remnant hatred that's outstanding. Why do you all feel that … this Ye should help you guys?"
Ye Yuan was not a narrow-minded person. However, the Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital had an appearance of showing disdain on everyone and everything starting with Lu Ziyi, deciding people's life and death at the drop of a hat, making him extremely unhappy.
Later, Lu Yan even dispatched an army of 100 thousand, claiming that he was going to slaughter the city.
If not for Ye Yuan killing several thousand True Gods with ruthless means, how could there still be any Heavenly Eagle Imperial City currently?
Lu Yan three people had awkward faces. At that time, both parties were akin to fire and water. Even now, they still had a blood feud.
It was just that circ.u.mstances were stronger than people. Lu Yan three people had to implore Ye Yuan and had no choice but to lower their heads!
"What Grandmaster Ye says is true. Back then, our hearts were blinded. That's why we'd be like that. In order to express our apology, we brought some gifts over. We hope that Grandmaster Ye will kindly accept them," Lu Yan said.
Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself when he heard this. He then said, "Lu Yan, it's not that this Ye is looking down on you, but can your Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital take out something that moves this Ye?"
When the three people heard that, they could not help choking.
That was true. With Heavenly Eagle's present power and influence, they would be controlling 10% of the Southern Border's medicinal pills market very soon. How astonishing was this wealth?
A mere Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital, even if these three great Empyreans took out all of their assets, Ye Yuan would completely turn his nose up at it too!
The three people exchanged glances and were like eggplants hit by frost; actually at a loss on what to do for a moment.
Although they were of noble Empyrean bodies, it was too insignificant in front of the present Ye Yuan!
Just as the three people lost all hope, Ye Yuan suddenly spoke up, "You all coming to find me, it's simply to get the Myriad Treasure Tower to rejoin the Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital. I'll give you all a chance, but whether you do it or not is up to you guys."
The moment the three people heard, they could not help being overjoyed.
But very soon, Lu Yan's face fell again.
He knew that the thing Ye Yuan was making them do definitely would not be that easy.
"Brother Lu Yan, what are you still in a daze for? Grandmaster Ye already said to give us a chance!' Deng Yunzai urged.
He already could not endure the present days anymore, the Deng Family had already run out of resources for as long as several years.
If there were still no medicinal pills provided, all of their Deng Family members' cultivation would probably get delayed.
So the moment he heard Ye Yuan's words, Deng Yunzai agreed without thinking.
Lu Yan's face changed several times. Ye Yuan did not urge either, just quietly waiting for a response.
Suddenly, Lu Yan's face turned intent, seemingly making up his mind, and said in a solemn voice, "Whatever orders Grandmaster Ye has, this Lu will definitely do it!"
Ye Yuan said coolly, "Good, I want the three of you to extend a formal apology in front of everyone in the city! Also, swear a solemn oath in front of everybody to never invade Heavenly Eagle in this lifetime. Don't use this sort of expression to look at me. It's not this Ye intentionally making things difficult for you all, but that you owe them an apology!"
When the three people heard that, their faces changed rapidly.
Inside this tiny little City Lord Manor, the three of them lowering their heads to Ye Yuan. Although this was humiliating, it was actually nothing much.
With Ye Yuan's present identity and status, he could bear their apology.
But, making them apologize to those ants with their Empyrean bodies, that was another matter altogether.
With this apology, it would be known to millions. Where would their old faces go in the future?
>
Reaching their level of realm, forfeiting their integrity was minor, losing face was huge!
Looking at the three people whose faces were flickering intermittently, Ye Yuan slowly stood up and left with his hands behind his back.
"You all have three days' time to consider. After three days, if you haven't replied, you all can leave on your own."
Beside the three people's ears came Ye Yuan's drawn-out voice.
...
Five days later, at Heavenly Eagle's Pill Tower square, countless martial artists and alchemists were gathered here.
Among the people present, some people had been through that earth-shaking great battle. There were also people that joined Heavenly Eagle afterward and knew absolutely nothing about this.
But very soon, they learned the whole story of that earth-shaking great battle from other people's mouths and was immediately shocked speechless.
Only then did they know that Grandmaster Ye still had such a brilliant battle record!
Annihilating several thousand True Gods with his power alone, creating three great Empyreans with alchemy, six great Empyreans coming to help out from all over the land, forcing a heavenly emperor to give in.
This kind of battle record was truly fascinating.
But they also learned at the same time why the martial artists in the city loved and respected Grandmaster Ye so much.
Grandmaster Ye became furious to the extreme not for his lover, but it was merely for a nameless kid called Jiang Ming.
This kind of benevolent master, was he not worthy of following?
Of course, many people present were very disdainful.
"Tsk, what does this count as? Presently, Grandmaster Ye defeated the Southern Border with his power alone; that is a truly heaven-shocking battle!"
"Hahaha! Reasonable, reasonable!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
"But today, Grandmaster Ye still made three great Empyreans apologize to the whole city for our sakes!" The eyes of the martial artists that had experienced that battle brimmed over with hot tears.
"Recalling back then, it was really like a dream. At that time, these three great Empyreans were gods in the sky in our eyes, crushing until all of us could not catch our breath. But now, a word from Grandmaster Ye can make them bow their heads in submission! It's glorious to live in Heavenly Eagle!"
Unknowingly, the horizons of Heavenly Eagle's martial artists also broadened significantly.
The originally incomparably mysterious Empyreans in their eyes already became normal.
They all understood that it was not that they got strong, but that Grandmaster Ye became powerful!
This one sentence stirred up the sense of identity of all the martial artists. Everyone raised their hands and started shouting.
"Glory to live in Heavenly Eagle!"
"Glory to live in Heavenly Eagle!"
"Glory to live in Heavenly Eagle!"
...
On this day, three great Empyreans apologized in public. The Southern Border was shocked.
Chapter 2065 - It's You All Who Haven't Seen Much of the World
The void vibrated, several young girls fluttering with immortal qi slowly walked out.
The girl in the front was dressed in clothes whiter than snow. Although she was not a beauty, she was also quite pretty. It was just that there was an additional trace of viciousness between her brows, giving people a feeling of keeping strangers away.
The few people strained their eyes and looked into the distance. A large-scale city rose up from the ground ahead, looking magnificent.
Beside the white-clothed girl, one of them said, "Senior Apprentice Sister Xun, this is the Heavenly Eagle Imperial City that Little Junior Sister said, right? I didn't expect that a mere imperial city is actually so magnificent too!"
Mentioning that Little Junior Sister, a hint of disdain and mockery flashed across in her eyes.
Senior Apprentice Sister Xun pursed her mouth and said scornfully, "A mere imperial city made so luxuriously, the person managing affairs must like to do grandiose things to impress people, not making any contributions. Humph! I get angry at the mention of that wretched girl! If not for her, we also wouldn't have needed to travel across the Heavenspan Mountain and run to the Southern Border from the Northern Border."
The pretty junior apprentice sister smiled and said, "That wretched girl feels that she has the Profound Yin Divine Physique and looks down on Eldest Senior Sister. Master's kindness toward her is as weighty as a mountain, but she doesn't think about repaying it, and even wanted us senior apprentice sisters to run here from far away to capture people! Really damn it! When we capture the person she's in love with, we'll have to teach him a good lesson."
Senior Apprentice Sister Xun did not express anything and just said coolly, "Come on, enter the city first before talking. Figure out that kid's situation first. Otherwise, if we beat the grass and startle the snake, it wouldn't be good if he runs."
The party of five followed the crowd and entered Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.
Only after entering the city did the five people detect Heavenly Eagle's prosperity. It actually did not lose to ordinary imperial capitals. This made them very surprised.
Compared to the number of martial artists here, this city was not big, but appeared too small.
"Senior Apprentice Sister Xun, is this really a little imperial city? Why do I feel like this place is even more flourishing than the average imperial capital?" The pretty junior apprentice sister looked left and right and said in surprise.
Senior Apprentice Sister Xun frowned and said, "This place has medicine shops in great numbers, alchemy prevalent, looks rather like an alchemy holy land. That girl said before that her little lover is an alchemist. Looks like it matches. There's an inn ahead. Let's go over and inquire about it."
The few people entered an inn and found a table next to a window and sat down.
When the waiter came over, the pretty junior apprentice sister hurriedly asked, "Waiter, I see that your Heavenly Eagle Imperial City seems to have a lot of alchemists!"
The moment the waiter heard, he could not help saying with a proud look, "Ladies, you came from other places, right? Huhu, our Heavenly Eagle Imperial City is the Southern Border's number one alchemy holy land. If you want to request for pills, then you came to the right place."
The moment the few junior apprentice sisters heard this, they could not help snickering.
The pretty junior apprentice sister said in amus.e.m.e.nt, "Number one in the Southern Border? A little imperial city also dare claim to be the Southern Border's number one? Your place is remote and has probably never seen before how big the world outside is, right?"
Her meaning was saying that Heavenly Eagle Imperial City's people had never seen much of the world.
It was just that the pretty junior apprentice sister's laughing made everyone around her laugh instead.
"Little girl, not that we haven't seen the world. It's that you all haven't seen how big the world is! You go out and inquire and you'll know that our Heavenly Eagle Imperial City is number one in this Southern Border. I guarantee this is the truth!"
"Haha, even if Seven-star Alchemy Gods arrived at our Heavenly Eagle, they also have to bend their backs and walk!"
"Little girl, do more homework before going out. Otherwise, you'll become a joke when you reach the place!"
...
There were kind laughters all around. But it was incomparably ear-piercing to these few people.
The pretty junior apprentice sister's face turned red and was about to fly off the handle, but she heard Senior Apprentice Sister Xun cough lightly.
Senior Apprentice Sister Xun looked at the waiter and asked, "This little brother, since your place here is an alchemy holy land, then have you heard of a young man called Ye Yuan before?"
As if afraid that the waiter had not heard of him before, Senior Apprentice Sister Xun added, "Heard that his age isn't old, his alche
my skills … should still be passable."
The moment these words came out, the whole place was silent. Extremely strange looks appeared on everyone's faces.
Senior Apprentice Sister Xun and everyone immediately also realized that something was wrong. Could it be that her words violated some taboo?
But they did not take it to heart. A mere imperial city, even if it violated some taboo, what could they do to her?
"Why? Did this young lady say something wrong?" Senior Apprentice Sister Xun asked curiously.
The waiter revealed a strange look and said, "That's not it, however … if Lord Ye's alchemy skill is still passable, then other alchemists can find a piece of tofu to commit suicide with."
"Oh? In that case, he's very impressive?" Senior Apprentice Sister Xun did not take it seriously and asked coolly.
She was already very convinced that the people of this imperial city developed a wildly arrogant personality because it was too out-of-the-way.
Think that they were invincible under the heavens with a few formidable alchemists in the city.
Ignorance was truly terrifying!
She had still heard of the Southern Border's alchemy world before. The most powerful ones were Empyrean Pilljade as well as the leaders of the six great holy lands.
When was it a puny little imperial city's turn to assume hegemony?
The waiter smiled and said, "Impressive? Huhu, more than just impressive! Tell you this then. Even if Seven-star Alchemy Gods came, they would also have to respectfully call His Excellency 'grandmaster'!"
Senior Apprentice Sister Xun pursed her mouth, a disdainful look on her face.
This bunch of country bumpkins was truly wildly conceited to the extreme!
But the waiter was not aware at all and said without caring about others, "Heh heh, turns out that you want to meet Lord Ye. Then you all came to the right place. If it's at other places, you really can't meet him. But Lord Ye likes our shop and frequently comes to patronize our shop. Eh, what a coincidence, Lord Ye is here!"
The waiter shot a glance and just happened to see a young man bringing two followers downstairs, coming up the inn slowly.
