… …
An hour arrived in a flash. Inside Ice Cloud Tower, Feng Tianyang slowly opened both eyes and said coldly, "Looks like he's refusing a toast only to drink to a forfeit! Looks like this Ji Qingyun hasn't figured out who has the final say in this land of extreme north!"
By the side, Ice Cloud said with a cold snort, "That kid doesn't have anyone in his eyes in the first place. He's someone who won't shed tears without seeing the coffin! But … logically speaking, Xiangyun should have also brought him back already. Could it be that Brother Loneswan stood in the way?"
Feng Tianyang curled his mouth and said disdainfully, "I think that this Loneswan is likely muddle-headed with age, to actually acknowledge a True God Realm as his master with the status of an Empyrean! Martial Uncle, let's go over and take a look. If that Loneswan doesn't know how to appreciate favors, we don't mind sending him off!"
Empyrean Windlike nodded slightly and slowly followed after.
Seeing Feng Tianyang's seethe with killing intent, Empyrean Ice Cloud was incomparably delighted in her heart.
She had long found Ye Yuan and Loneswan displeasing to the eyes. This time, she could just nicely borrow a blade and kill people. Erasing these two people, Jiu Luo Ji would have peace and tranquility!
The group of Empyreans and True Gods arrived at Grand Pill Establishment in a threatening manner but discovered that the hall had just experienced a great battle.
While the Grand Pill Establishment was long already void of people.
On the hall's stone steps, Ye Yuan sat with his ankle on his knee, sitting on a wooden armchair, drinking wine calmly as the wine aroma overflowed.
Empyrean Loneswan and Yang Fei-er two people were standing on the left and right in attendance.
Chapter 2086 - Soul Planting Secret Art
Feeling the bloody smell pervading in the air, Feng Tianyang's gaze turned slightly cold.
But he did not look at Ye Yuan but looked toward Empyrean Loneswan.
"Loneswan, you actually dared to kill He Xiangyun. Could it be that you want to become enemies with my Vast Wind Assemble?" Feng Tianyang said coldly.
In his view, it was simply impossible for Ye Yuan to kill He Xiangyun, unless Loneswan turned traitor.
Loneswan shook his head lightly and said, "She wasn't killed by this Empyrean."
Feng Tianyang smiled coldly and said, "Still want to quibble? Apart from you, who else can kill He Xiangyun here? Also, what's the meaning of this, Junior Apprentice Sister Yang?"
Empyrean Ice Cloud's two eyes narrowed and she said in a solemn voice, "Fei-er, why haven't you come over here!"
Yang Fei-er looked at Empyrean Ice Cloud, those eyes were like looking at a stranger.
"Master, it's Fei-er's last time calling you like this. From today onward, Fei-er will be leaving Ice Cloud Tower." Yang Fei-er said coolly.
Empyrean Ice Cloud Tower's pupils constricted and she said in a cold voice, "Treacherous disciple, do you know what you're saying? Master nurtured you for so many years, but you actually want to break away from the Ice Cloud Tower? Fei-er, kill the person in front of you and return in front of Master. Master can take it as if nothing happened."
Talking toward the back, Empyrean Ice Cloud's words gradually became gentle, like a benevolent mother.
When Empyrean Ice Cloud was saying this, a light flashed in her eyes. A mysterious power transmitted out of her body, reaching Yang Fei-er.
This power was extremely hidden, even the Empyrean powerhouses present were unable to detect it.
It was just that Yang Fei-er was not moved at all as if she did not hear it at all.
Empyrean Ice Cloud's face changed, her voice becoming sharp as she said, "Fei-er, Master is talking to you. Didn't you hear?"
At this time, the Ye Yuan who had been silent all along suddenly smiled and said, "Are you wondering why you used the divine soul mystic art, but Senior Apprentice Sister Fei-er didn't listen to your orders?"
When Empyrean Ice Cloud heard that, her heart jumped wildly.
Her Soul Planting Secret Art was extremely hidden, how did this boy discover it?
Furthermore, her secret art had never failed before, why would Yang Fei-er not listen to her orders?
Empyrean Ice Cloud had a stomach full of doubts, but she was an old monster who had lived for several hundred thousand years in the end, she naturally would not reveal it easily.
"Stinking brat, at death's door and you're still spurting nonsense here. Do you believe that this Empyrean will tear your mouth right now?" Empyrean Ice Cloud said in a cold voice.
Ye Yuan was indifferent as he said with a faint smile, "Unsavory history got dug out by me and turned angry from embarrassment? Huhu, using a divine soul mystic art to control your own disciples, a master like you really makes people's hair stand on end!"
The moment these words came out, the faces of all of Ice Cloud Tower's disciples changed drastically.
They looked towards Empyrean Ice Cloud with a look of terror, disbelief on their faces.
Being planted with a divine soul mystic art was equivalent to being another person's slave.
As long as Empyrean Ice Cloud was willing, she could make them do anything.
This kind of thing, any martial artist would not be willing.
This kind of method, what difference was there between them and a bunch of pigs reared in pens?
Even the other Empyreans also looked at Empyrean Ice Cloud with incredibly shocked gazes.
Empyrean Ice Cloud's eyes were icy-cold as she said in a frosty voice, "Humph! Despicable little brute, want to use this kind of method to sow discord in the Ice Cloud Tower? Do you think that you have a chance to escape like this?"
Empyrean Ice Cloud laughed coldly. A powerful to the extreme ice law suddenly expanded out and a palm smacked over toward Ye Yuan.
How fearsome was the palm of an Empyrean?
But right at this time, Empyrean Loneswan similarly made his move.
Bang!
The two people exchanged a palm in the air, leveling Grand Pill Establishment to the ground.
Ye Yuan looked at Empyrean Ice Cloud, his gaze gradually becoming cold.
When he treated Lu-er's injuries, he was extra cautious and inspected Lu-er's divine soul through the Soul Suppressing Pearl, only then, discovering an abnormality, and could not help breaking out into cold sweat from alarm.
It turned out that this was Empyrean Ice Cloud's true trump card!
This kind of divine soul mystic art was extremely hidden, it was concealed within the Ice Cloud Tower's cultivation method.
When Ice Cloud Tower's disciples cultivated this cultivation method, it would secretly leave behind Empyrean Ice Cloud's divine soul imprints in their divine souls.
As long as Empyrean Ice Cloud was willing, she could control these disciples through her divine soul imprints at any time.
If not for Ye Yuan having a secret treasure like the Soul Suppressing Pearl, he would really not be able to discover it.
With this trump card here, Empyrean Ice Cloud was not worried at all that Lu-er would not give in.
It was just that Empyrean Ice Cloud did not wish to arouse the disciples' vigilance, coupled with that Feng Tianyang was currently in closed-seclusion and the time was not up yet, that was why she did not activate it.
As for capturing him to threaten Lu-er, it would naturally be good if she got him, but it also did not matter if she did not.
At that time, she just had to play a little trick in Lu-er's divine soul, no one would discover it at all.
It was just that Empyrean Ice Cloud exhausted every power of her brain and also did not think that her unnecessary move provoked a Ye Yuan.
After Ye Yuan ferreted this out, he also felt lingering fear.
If not for him being extra cautious, the consequences would be too terrible to imagine.
At the same time, he also brimmed with killing intent.
This Empyrean Ice Cloud deserved to be killed!
After taking care of He Xiangyun earlier, Ye Yuan gave Yang Fei-er an inspection and indeed discovered that she was also planted with a divine soul imprint, and conveniently wiped it away for her.
Otherwise, Yang Fei-er also would not have this attitude toward Empyrean Ice Cloud.
"Killing off witnesses, just based on you?" Ye Yuan looked at Empyrean Ice Cloud and said with a cold smile.
Empyrean Ice Cloud's expression flickered incessantly. Suddenly, she said to Feng Tianyang, "Honorable Nephew Tianyang, this boy is spurting nonsense. Also don't know where he sent Lu-er to. He truly deserves death!"
Everyone's hearts turned cold, aware that Empyrean Ice Cloud wanted to borrow a knife to kill people.
Feng Tianyang's gaze looked at Ye Yuan coldly and he said coolly, "Kid, this young master give you a chance now. Hand Lu-er over, then kneel down and beg for mercy. This young master will let you become the Vast Wind Assemble's grand protector, making your status even above Senior Xiao Yu's!"
In Feng Tianyang's view, Ye Yuan was merely a trapped beast currently.
He gave him a way out, he should be shedding tears of gratitude.
Of course, he was eying Ye Yuan's pill refining strength.
Controlling such an alchemy genius in Vast Wind Assemble, in the future, after he corroborates his Dao as an Empyrean, it would also not be impossible for him to lead the Vast Wind Assemble and unify the land of extreme north.
Feng Tianyang's ambition was extremely great, even stronger than his father's.
In front of him, either submit or die!
It was also precisely because so that even when these Empyreans saw him, they were also all very wary.
It was a shame that he ran into Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan looked at Feng Tianyang and shook his head, laughing in spite of himself as he said, "A toad wanting to eat swan meat, overestimating your own ability! Just the likes of you are also fit to make me submit? Swaggering and bl.u.s.tering here, what you're relying on are those Empyreans beside you, right?"
Feng Tianyang burst out laughing and said, "Kid, you think that because your Alchemy Dao is powerful, you can turn your nose up at other people? Alchemy Dao is ultimately a minor Dao. Martial Dao is the truly Great Dao that leads to heaven! Why would I, Feng Tianyang, rely on other people's strength? Ji Qingyun, I know that you're unconvinced, but you don't need to goad me either, because you're not qualified enough yet! Dealing with you, why would I need an Empyrean to take action? If you want to stand before me, beat them first before talking!"
Feng Tianyang waved his hand, seven to eight young men walked to the front of the crowd.
Immediately, a commotion broke out in the crowd.
Chapter 2087 - This is Your Martial Dao?
"Wang Ning, Zhou Qianhui, Su Xinyu! My God, those … those are all the various Empyreans' head disciples!"
"It's over this time, Master Ji is dead for sure! These head disciples, the weakest is also an initial-stage Ninth Firmament True God! How to fight?"
"Apart from He Xiangyun who had already died and Master Song Cao, Jiu Luo Ji's young generations' top experts are all gathered here."
… …
There was a wave of exclamations all around. Clearly, this line-up gave them a fright.
These head disciples were all very powerful existences even among Ninth Firmament True Gods. There was no problem at all crushing those in the same rank.
Master Ji was still a little away from late-stage True God Realm, so how was he going to fight them?
Feng Tianyang had a proud look as he turned to Loneswan and said coolly, "Loneswan, the affairs of the younger generation will be left to us. You'd best not meddle in it. Otherwise … don't blame this Feng for not being courteous!"
Empyrean Loneswan's two eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "Relax, this Empyrean won't take action."
Wang Ning looked at Ye Yuan with a disdainful look and said coolly, "Brother Feng, dealing with a trash like this, Wang Ning alone is more than enough. Why is there a need to mobilize everyone?"
Ye Yuan sneered and said, "A trash like this? If I didn't see wrongly, you recently consumed the Yi Qing Pill that I refined. That's how you broke through to peak Ninth Firmament True God, right?"
Wang Ning said coolly, "So what? Didn't you hear Brother Feng? Martial Dao is the Great Dao! In front of our martial prowess, you're as fragile as an ant."
When Ye Yuan heard that, he grinned and said, "Very good! Looks like I've underestimated the northern people's degree of shamelessness! Jiu Luo Ji's Empyreans really made me have a completely new appraisal of them. The few of you, attack together then!"
Ye Yuan could tell that these few people had all consumed the medicinal pills that he refined, their cultivations all having an overnight transformation.
This kind of favor, Wang Ning actually summed it up in a few words and said it out simply. How shameless was it?
Ye Yuan's medicinal pills were hard to exchange for using money.
Even if it was a tiny bit of improvement, it saved hundreds, even thousands of years for these people.
"Attack together? You haven't gone delirious from fear, right?" Wang Ning and the rest could not help laughing as they said.
In their view, no matter how strong Ye Yuan's Alchemy Dao was, it was merely becoming a wedding gown for others. How much strength could he have?
Ye Yuan did not even reach the late-stage True God Realm, but he actually boasted shamelessly about wanting to fight one-on-seven. He was truly ignorant until it was laughable in their eyes.
"Huhu, looks like this punk is normally kept aloof from the masses and already forgot what's called awe and veneration. Since that's the case, let's teach him," Su Xinyu said proudly with a faint smile.
Finished talking, the seven people had amused looks on their faces as they sped over towards Ye Yuan.
Regarding this kind of battle, they were all somewhat unconcerned.
Too lacking of a challenge.
It was just that they did not detect that an amused expression similarly showed on Empyrean Loneswan's face.
Ye Yuan and Feng Tianyang, who was more formidable, he did not know. But for Ye Yuan to dare let these people attack together, then he definitely thought nothing of them.
These people were stronger than He Xiangyun, but they were also not much stronger.
Ye Yuan suppressed He Xiangyun with a slap, he reckoned that dealing with them would also be a cinch.
"Brothers, play with him well!"
Wang Ning said with a smile and already flashed behind Ye Yuan, his speed extremely fast.
A hint of a mocking smile flashed across the corners of his mouth and he raised his hand to deal a palm.
The others also all had amused expressions as if already seeing that panicky expression of Ye Yuan being toyed with.
Talking about it was slow, but actually, Wang Ning's speed was just a matter of a blink of an eye.
However, just as this palm of his was about to land on Ye Yuan's shoulder, Ye Yuan seemed to have grown eyes at his back, slightly leaning his body to one side, dodging it lightly.
"This is the Martial Dao that you spoke of? Claiming so solemnly about what Martial Dao, I was wondering how formidable you were. Truly disappointing," Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a sigh.
Wang Ning's face instantly turned the color of pig liver.
This time, it was a huge loss of face.
"Haha, Wang Ning, didn't you say that you wanted to play with him? Why were you toyed around?" Zhou Qianhui said with a big laugh.
"Wang Ning, can't even take care of a middle-stage True God Realm! You're really losing face for us, these head disciples!" Su Xinyu said with a loud laugh.
When the other head disciples saw the situation, they also ridiculed away.
Among the few great chiefs, there were naturally secret competitions too.
Seeing Wang Ning get deflated, they naturally could not dispense with a bout of sarcasm.
It was only
to see Wang Ning's expression turning cold, and he said in a solemn voice, "Just now was just a moment of carelessness, kid, don't you get c.o.c.ky!"
"Oh? Is that so?" Ye Yuan stood with both hands behind his back, having a meaningful expression on his face.
Seeing Ye Yuan's expression, Wang Ning immediately became angry from embarrassment and said in a great rage, "Punk, you actually dare to underestimate me!"
Wang Ning's aura immediately rose to the peak. A strange but crafty sword stabbed over towards Ye Yuan.
Whoosh!
The speed of Wang Ning's sword was extremely fast, practically arriving in an instant.
It was just that Ye Yuan still leaned his body to one side slightly, and dodged it again lightly.
"Damn it, h-how did he do it? I don't believe that I can't even take care of a middle-stage True God Realm!"
Wang Ning gritted his teeth, brandished his sword, and attacked again.
It was just that no matter how hard he worked, he still could not touch the corners of Ye Yuan's sleeves.
He talked about playing with Ye Yuan, but the end result was being toyed with by Ye Yuan.
In the beginning, everyone was all still mocking Wang Ning, feeling that this chief was too trash.
But along with the passage of time, everyone could not laugh anymore.
Once or twice could still say that it was lucky. But they were very clear about Wang Ning's strength. No matter how lacking, it was also not to the point of being toyed in circles by a middle-stage True God Realm.
Zhou Qianhui and the rest exchanged glances, all seeing shock from each other's eyes.
"Attack together! This boy is strange!" Zhou Qianhui said in a deep voice.
Six great chiefs immediately used their means and rushed forward together.
It was just that them joining the battle was still useless. No one could touch the corners of Ye Yuan's sleeves at all.
The seven people had a threatening manner, but no matter how hard they worked, they still could not do anything to Ye Yuan.
The more they fought, the more alarmed they got. The more they fought, the more shocked they became.
Ye Yuan's movement technique was too bizarre, just like a loach, being unable to catch it at all.
