Loneswan's expression changed, but he still followed Ye Yuan's order. Another slap landed on the left side of He Xiangyun's face, sending her flying to the other side.
How heavy was the slap of an Empyrean?
Even if Empyrean Loneswan controlled his strength, these two slaps were also enough for her to suffer.
On the two sides of He Xiangyun's face, the mark of ten fingers was very distinct, as if imprinted on it.
Two slaps made He Xiangyun see stars and also could not figure out where was north, south, east, and west.
After He Xiangyun recovered slightly, Ye Yuan asked again coolly, "Now, do you understand?"
How could He Xiangyun still dare to shake her head? She hurriedly nodded her head and said incoherently, "U-Understood, understood!"
Who knew that Ye Yuan shouted coldly again, "Loneswan, hit again!"
With this, even Loneswan somewhat pitied He Xiangyun.
But he did not have the intention of holding back. Another slap flew over, He Xiangyun was sent flying once more.
Only after she crawled to her feet did Ye Yuan say coolly, "Clearly didn't understand, but pretend to understand, deserves to be hit!"
He Xiangyun had ten million profanities galloping across in her head currently.
Your reason for hitting people is really a good reason!
It was absolutely out of the question for her to dare say these words out. But He Xiangyun already had tears pouring down her face now, clearly feeling wronged.
"Humph! In this Grand Pill Establishment, who kneels and who doesn't kneel, it's my call. It's ot your turn to come and gesture here and there! Now, understand?" Ye Yuan looked at He Xiangyun coldly and said calmly.
He Xiangyun nodded her head painfully, her face covered with tears.
What the hell is this!
Chapter 2082 - Apologize to Me
"Young Master!"
The moment she entered the medicine refining room in the back-hall, Lu-er could not hold back anymore and dove right into Ye Yuan's embrace. She then started sobbing loudly.
Ye Yuan consoled carefully, his heart also filled with a thousand regrets.
To other martial artists, a thousand years was very short.
But to Ye Yuan and Lu-er, a thousand years was far too long!
Ye Yuan walking all the way from the State of Qin, the one who accompanied him the longest was Lu-er.
The two of them were known as master and servant, but actually, even Ye Yuan himself also could not tell the two of their feelings anymore.
A thousand years was seemingly as long as seas changing into mulberry fields and mulberry fields into seas to them.
"Alright, don't cry, don't cry. Young Master came to fetch you home!" Ye Yuan patted Lu-er's back lightly and said akin to being relieved of a heavy burden.
Ever since Li-er and the rest left Heavenly Eagle, Ye Yuan was very worried every day.
Later, compared to the situation of White Light and Li-er, the one that he worried about most was naturally Lu-er.
But Lu-er did not have any news all along, Ye Yuan was also greatly anxious in his heart.
The suffering involved, only he himself was aware.
"Sniff, sniff … Young Master, I even thought … thought …"
"Huhu, did you think that that Senior Apprentice Sister Xun of yours came to capture me, bully me?" Ye Yuan said with a laugh.
Lu-er nodded her head. These few years, she lost all d.e.s.i.r.e for food and drink. What she was most worried about was this.
"Miss Lu-er, rest assured. His Excellency has a high prestige now. He defeated the Southern Border with his power alone, and he is presently the Southern Border's number one alchemy god! Also, the present Heavenly Eagle is also the Southern Border's number one alchemy holy land. Even Empyrean Realm powerhouses have to respectfully call Grandmaster Ye when they see His Excellency! Those few senior apprentice sisters of yours didn't even figure out the situation and ran over to capture His Excellency, simply not knowing life from death." Ning Tianping said with a cold smile on his face.
When Lu-er heard, it felt like she was listening to a book from heaven; her brain not quite enough to use.
Southern Border's number one alchemy god and Southern Border's number one alchemy holy land!
The present Lu-er naturally knew how vast a land the Southern Border was.
Ye Yuan actually became a figure that could command the wind and rain like so in the entire Southern Border.
"Turns out that Young Master is already this formidable?" Lu-er was shocked and also happy.
The more impressive her young master was, the happier she naturally would be.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "No matter how impressive, I'm also your young master!"
Suddenly, Ye Yuan's brows furrowed. His expression turned cold, and he said, "You have injuries all over your body. Someone should have used a lightning-attribute array formation to hurt you, right? If I didn't guess wrongly, it's that Eldest Senior Sister of yours, He Xiangyun, right?"
Lu-er said in surprise, "Young Master, you … you already knew?"
Ye Yuan sneered and said, "That Senior Apprentice Sister Xun of yours was stupid and was already soul-searched by me! If this was not the case, why would I set up such a grand scheme and make Empyrean Ice Cloud send you over obediently?"
When Lu-er heard this, she could not help feeling pain in her heart.
Ye Yuan knew Lu-er's personality and said with a sigh, "Oh, you, it's been so many years, you're also a grown girl already, to actually not have changed at all. He Xiangyun and Xun Mengyao abused you like so, but why you actually still want to plead on their behalf?"
When Lu-er heard that, she could not help saying with a wronged face: "They … They are my senior apprentice sisters after all."
Ye Yuan let out a slight sigh and changed the topic. He said, "Alright, don't talk anymore. Young Master will help you treat your wounds first!"
Inspecting for Lu-er, only then did Ye Yuan know how severe the injuries on Lu-er's body were.
How brilliant were Ye Yuan's medical skills? Inspecting slightly, he knew that some of the wounds on Lu-er's body already lasted for several decades.
There were even some old injuries that had been buried in the body for several hundred years!
The more he examined, the greater the fury in Ye Yuan's heart.
He already secretly made up his mind that this He Xiangyun must be eliminated.
Of course, he would not tell Lu-er.
… …
Just not long after Ye Yuan and Lu-er entered the medicine refining room, a matter that shook the Jiu Luo Ji happened.
Vast Wind Assemble's Empyrean Vast Wind's son, Feng Tianyang, exited seclusion. Empyrean Vast Wind's brother, Empyrean Windlike brought Feng Tianyang and as a large contingent of troops and came to Jiu Luo Ji to get married.
And the target of marriage was a disciple of Ice Cloud Tower.
This matter caused a great sensation in the entire assemble.
Ice Cloud Tower that was originally a relatively weak power in Jiu Luo Ji became a highly popular faction all of a sudden.
Vast Wind Assemble was one of the strongest forces in the Northernmost Steppe. Empyrean Vast Wind was even a Fifth Firmament Empyrean super powerhouse, his status incomparably venerated.
Different from Jiu Luo Ji, everyone going their own way, Vast Wind Assemble was ruled by Empyrean Vast Wind alone.
There were as many as over a dozen Empyrean powerhouses under his command.
And Feng Tianyang was even known as the Northernmost Steppe's number one genius, and already a Ninth Firmament True God mighty expert.
Just a step away and he could enter the realm of Empyrean!
Even Empyrean Ice Cloud also did not expect that Vast Wind Assemble would regard it with such importance, to actually sent Empyrean Windlike here.
At this time, all of Ice Cloud Tower's disciples all came out to welcome Empyrean Windlike's party.
The other e
ight great Empyreans were also all present.
"Huhu, not seeing for many years, Younger Sister Ice Cloud is more and more beautiful!" Empyrean Windlike said with a laugh.
Empyrean Ice Cloud smiled and said, "Brother Windlike is making fun of Ice Cloud. Ice Cloud is already a faded beauty. So how am I beautiful?"
Empyrean Windlike could not help laughing as he said, "What years is there to speak of for cultivators of our generation? Younger Sister Ice Cloud is too modest."
At this time, another old man stepped forward to greet her. The moment Ice Cloud looked, who was it if not Empyrean Xiao Yu?
Empyrean Ice Cloud hurriedly returned the courtesy. She did not expect that Empyrean Xiao Yu actually came together too.
Everyone present was extremely surprised.
Vast Wind Assemble was attaching too much importance to this marriage, right? To actually have two Empyreans come at once.
After all, Feng Tianyang had a lawfully wedded wife. Marrying Lu-er was merely as a concubine.
Those who were not aware of the details all knew that Empyrean Xiao Yu probably had an ulterior motive, and it was with that Master Ji.
Especially Empyrean Loneswan, it was something that he already knew.
This Empyrean Xiao Yu was actually very envious of him entering Ye Yuan's tutelage.
"Feng Tianyang pays respect to Senior Ice Cloud and various seniors."
At this time, a mighty youth flashed out from behind Empyrean Windlike and bowed to Empyrean Ice Cloud.
But his appearance was not as a junior bowing respectfully to a senior, but as peers talking on equal footing.
Empyrean Ice Cloud did not mind either, saying with a smile, "Huhu, not seeing for some time, Honorable Nephew Feng's cultivation grows with each passing day!"
Empyrean Ice Cloud was also very surprised in her heart. The last time she saw Feng Tianyang was still a hundred years ago.
At that time, Feng Tianyang was merely a middle-stage Ninth Firmament True God. Now that a hundred years passed, Feng Tianyang's strength already approached grand completion. He was only a step away from becoming an Empyrean.
At this rate, in less than 2000 years, this boy would likely be stepping into the realm of Empyrean.
Feng Tianyang just smiled faintly, paying no attention to this kind of compliment.
It was just that his gaze swept, but his brows knitted together and he said in a solemn voice, "Senior Ice Cloud Tower, your Ice Cloud Tower's disciples are all here. Why is only Lu-er missing?"
Empyrean Ice Cloud's face changed and she hurriedly gave a few words of explanation.
Who knew that Feng Tianyang gave a cold snort and said, "Senior Ice Cloud, your way of doing things is also too preposterous! Loneswan is my unwed-wife, you actually had her stay in the same room with another man! Empyrean Loneswan, that Ji Qingyun is your Grand Pill Establishment's people. You order them to bring Ji Qingyun over right now and apologize to me! Just say that I, Feng Tianyang, said it!"
Chapter 2083 - Self-Satisfied
Everyone's hearts turned cold. Was this opposing Master Ji?
Everyone knew that at present, in this Northernmost Steppe, Master Ji's limelight was in full bloom, even crushing Ice Cloud Tower until it had to bow its head in submission.
And Feng Tianyang was the extreme north's number one person of the junior generation, a peerless heaven's chosen, a powerhouse who was about to step into Empyrean.
These two great gods were going to clash head-on?
Empyrean Xiao Yu's brows furrowed and he said, "Tianyang, Master Ji enjoys a high prestige and commands universal respect. I'm afraid … this isn't appropriate, right?"
Feng Tianyang was unrivaledly domineering as he said with a cold snort, "What's inappropriate about it? I've long wanted to meet this Ji Qingyun. I want to see if he's really as impressive as the legends say."
He was not an alchemist and did not have that much awe and veneration toward Ye Yuan at all.
In his view, no matter how impressive this Master Ji was, if he could not be used by him, what use was there?
Since he wanted to meet Master Ji, and there was also such a good excuse, so why not use it?
As for whatever lone man and woman, Feng Tianyang was not worried at all.
In this land of extreme north, no one dared to touch his, Feng Tianyang's, woman.
Seeing Loneswan not moving, Feng Tianyang said in a cold voice, "What, Loneswan? Can't hear my words?"
At this time, Feng Tianyang was already very impolite when speaking.
Facing Empyrean Loneswan, he even dropped the honorifics and actually directly called him by name.
Loneswan's expression flickered incessantly. Vast Wind Assemble was powerful; he could not afford to provoke Feng Tianyang!
Among the extreme north's factions, they were mutually interdependent and also exercised control over each other.
A major faction like Vast Wind Assemble, its strength exceeded the other factions by significantly a lot. Others naturally could not afford to provoke it.
In the Northernmost Steppe, the situation of one faction swallowing another was not rare.
For the Vast Wind Assemble to have such a scale, it was the result of Empyrean Vast Wind going on expeditions all around.
It was precisely because Empyrean Vast Wind was very domineering, sweeping across the extreme north, that Feng Tianyang had the confidence to treat these Empyreans as he pleased.
Empyrean Ice Cloud was already frightened by Ye Yuan and could only warn, "Tianyang, that Master Ji's personality is very proud. I'm afraid that …"
Feng Tianyang sneered and said, "Scared of what? Isn't Senior Ice Cloud just worried that there will be no one supplying medicinal pills in the future? Rest assured, Lu-er will be this Feng's wife in the future. Why would I ignore her parental home? Senior Xiao Yu, we'll supply Ice Cloud Tower's medicinal pills in the future. There's no problem, right?"
Empyrean Xiao Yu understood in his heart that Feng Tianyang was making an example out of Ji Qingyun!
It was just that Feng Tianyang was the same as his father, being extremely domineering. He could only nod and said, "No problem!"
The moment Ice Cloud heard, she immediately felt assurance in her heart and said smilingly, "Then … I really thank you so much, Honorable Nephew Tianyang!"
He Xiangyun was long already bursting with joy behind Empyrean Ice Cloud and complained tearfully, "Master, that Master Ji is really too arrogant. You have to stand up for me!"
That day, she escorted Lu-er to Ye Yuan there. In the end, she was directly dealt a few slaps by Ye Yuan. Until today, the swelling still had not gone down.
After He Xiangyun who had a stricken senseless look returned, she complained tearfully to Empyrean Ice Cloud.
Although Empyrean Ice Cloud was angry, how could she still dare to offend Ye Yuan? She could only swallow the insult and humiliation silently, and swapped with Second Eldest Sister, Yang Fei, to go over.
But now, it was different!
Empyrean Ice Cloud said coolly, "Since that's the case, you take a trip together with Empyrean Loneswan then. If that Ye Yuan dares to go against Honorable Nephew Tianyang's orders, directly detain him and bring him here!"
Empyrean Loneswan's face changed and he said in a cold voice, "Ice Cloud, what's the meaning of this? Could it be that you're ignoring this Empyrean?"
"Humph! Loneswan, could it be that you're deeming this Feng as nothing?" Empyrean Ice Cloud had not spoken yet when Feng Tianyang said with a cold snort.
Loneswan's expression changed several times. Snorting coldly, he flicked his sleeves and left.
Empyrean Ice Cloud was overjoyed in her heart. She originally thought that Feng Tianyang was just playing with Lu-er. Looking at it now, he clearly regarded Lu-er with great importance.
With the Vast Wind Assemble as a backer, who would she still be scared of in this Jiu Luo Ji?
"Xiangyun, what are you still in a daze for?" Ice Cloud said coolly.
A hint of a cold smile flashed across He Xiangyun's face and she followed after.
The group of Empyreans was silent like cicadas in winter. Clearly, they did not expect such a big hoo-haa to occur the moment they met.
Although they were all not willing to offend Master Ji, Feng Tianyang clearly did not think so.
Everyone also discerned that Feng Tianyang wanted to take Ji Qingyun in to use for himself.
If he could not compel him to submit, then he would destroy him.
Although everyone felt that it was a shame, they also did not say anything.
After all, in this Northernmost Steppe, the strong reigned supreme.
In the end, Ji Qingyun was merely a True God Realm.
Even if He Xiangyun went, he was not a match against her.
… …
He Xiangyun was self-satisfied and already plotting on finding Ye Yuan to settle the scores.
She had lived in this Jiu Luo Ji for so many years and had yet to suffer such unprecedented humiliation before.
She had the personality of seeking revenge for the smallest grievance to begin with. Now that she found a chance, how could she not take revenge?
Previously, not daring to make a move was dreading Empyrean Loneswan on one hand. On the other hand, it was that Ye Yuan's prestige was too strong, she did not dare to offend.
But now, with Feng Tianyang backing her up, what was she still afraid of?
A mere Ye Yuan, so what even if his pill refinement was any stronger?
With her Ninth Firmament True God powerful strength, wouldn't trampling on Ye Yuan still be effortless?
"Master, Vast Wind Assemble's Feng Tianyang has arrived. He said to have you send Miss Lu-er over. Also … Also …"
Talking up to here, Empyrean Loneswan truly found it hard to speak out anymore.
At this time, He Xiangyun followed closely behind. Seeing Empyrean Loneswan's appearance, she could not help laughing mockingly and said in a clear voice, "Ji Qingyun, get out for your grandaunt! Lord Tianyang orders you to immediately bring that sl*t over and offer an apology to him!"
Empyrean Loneswan's brows furrowed slightly, opening his mouth but did not say anything.
