Unrivaled Medicine God, page 1041
It seemed like a blood storm could not be avoided anymore.
Thinking up to here, Xin Luo could not help giving rise to resentment toward Ye Yuan in his heart.
He vented his hatred but involved the entire demon race in the fires of war.
After Qi Chen and the rest left, Gongyang Lie’s figure appeared.
“Lord Gongyang! What should be done about this matter?” Xin Luo said.
Gongyang Lie’s face turned dark and he said, “What else can we do? If the Qilin Clan comes to denounce us, then there’s only handing Ye Yuan over!”
Xin Luo’s expression changed drastically when he heard that and said, “But … But he’s Lord Second Sage!”
Gongyang Lie sneered and said, “So what if Lord Second Sage? The might of the Qilin Clan, it’s also not that you’re not aware. Once a war starts, the entire demon race will definitely suffer a great loss in strength. At that time, can the other various races still be so quiet? Could it be because of Ye Yuan alone, we make the entire demon race fall into a crisis? I think that even if Sacred Ancestor High Priest was here, he would also hand Ye Yuan over without the slightest hesitation. Moreover, saying that he’s Second Sage, he’s currently merely a True God Realm. Who can know how the future will be? This Heavenspan World, the most valuable are geniuses, the least valuable … are also geniuses!”
Before geniuses grew up, they were merely geniuses.
This Heavenspan World, there were geniuses dying every second. It was not lacking Ye Yuan alone.
Ye Yuan’s alchemy strength indeed made them astounded. But why would a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse like Gongyang Lie really pay attention to a genius?
All of his respect toward Ye Yuan all stemmed from Sacred Ancestor High Priest.
Furthermore, Gongyang Lie also had selfish motives.
Ye Yuan’s appearance already affected High Priest Redplume’s status in the demon race.
Borrowing the Qilin Clan to eliminate Ye Yuan was also a pretty good choice.
By the side, Xin Luo’s expression flickered incessantly.
This kind of thing was already not what he could intervene in.
… …
Regarding killing off Qi Zhen, Ye Yuan did not have much feeling.
After returning to his residence, he went into seclusion for ten days and finally completely chased away that icy-cold feeling.
While using the power of Dao marks could make his strength soar, the consequence was also tremendous.
Under normal circumstances, Ye Yuan already did not dare to utilize Dao marks anymore.
However, Ye Yuan did not have too much fear toward the Qilin Clan.
With the Qilin emperor bone around, even if ordinary Heavenly Emperors came, he could directly suppress too.
Ye Yuan believed Empyrean Vast Universe’s words more and more. The ancient era’s powerhouses were really incomparably powerful.
This Qilin emperor bone had been through countless eons and actually still had such powerful might.
That kind of bloodline suppression, unless the Qilin Clan’s pinnacle heavenly emperors came, otherwise, there was no way to contend at all.
According to Ye Yuan’s judgment, it was unlikely that a mere Qi Zhen was unlikely to provoke the Qilin Clan’s top heavenly emperors to act.
In front of a heavenly emperor, empyreans were merely ants too.
“Your Excellency, someone is requesting an audience outside.” Ning Tianping’s voice came from outside the door.
“Who is it?” Ye Yuan went out and asked.
“It’s a little girl with a horn growing on top of her head. She said that she came to thank you.” Ning Tianping said.
“Thank me?” Ye Yuan was at a loss.
Apart from Yang Fei-er and Lu-er, he did not know any little girl with a horn growing on her head here.
Arriving at the hall, Ye Yuan indeed saw a little girl with a horn growing on her head. Her appearance was very lovely and cute, making people feel happy when they saw her.
When Ye Yuan saw this little girl, he actually had a very cordial feeling.
“Could it be …”
Ye Yuan was currently astonished in his heart when that little girl already saw Ye Yuan and came in front of Ye Yuan with a few leaps and bounds, having a pair of large eyes wide open as she said with a beam, “You’re Second Sage Ye Yuan? It was you who killed Qi Zhen?”
Ye Yuan was just about to admit it, but was interrupted by the little girl again. She said, “Hehe, well killed! This young lady has long found that Qi Zhen displeasing to the eye. I came today to tell you thanks. Oh, right! If the Qilin Clan dares to come to find trouble with you, you just report my name. They definitely won’t dare to make things difficult for you! Oh, and also, I’m called Xiaochun[1].”
Ye Yuan could not help laughing when he heard that and asked, “You’re from the Dragon Clan?”
Long Xiaochun revealed a look of surprise, and she said in astonishment, “Eh, how did you know?”
When demons transformed, their shapes were diverse. Not revealing their auras, one could not differentiate the race.
But when Ye Yuan saw Long Xiaochun, the dragon race bloodline in his body actually stirred restlessly. How could Ye Yuan still not understand what was going on?
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “I guessed it. You had enmity with Qi Zhen?”
Long Xiaochun nodded her head like a rattle drum as he said, “That guy won against my big brother in an alchemy battle and even flaunted his prowess, saying that my big brother can’t surpass him for life! Tch, don’t their Qilin Clan just rely on fire-attribute law to win by a notch in alchemy?”
Ye Yuan also secretly nodded when he heard it. This conformed to Qi Zhen’s temper, being overbearing.
Long Xiaochun sized Ye Yuan up and down and asked with a very curious look, “I heard that Qi Chen made a bet with you. But in the end, Qi Zhen really did not dare to accept the challenge and canceled the bet with not being present as the reason, and he even threatened you. That’s why he was killed by you; is that so?”
Ye Yuan nodded and said, “There was indeed such a thing.”
Long Xiaochun giggled after hearing and said, “Qi Zhen that fellow is really as cocky as before! But now, he can’t strut around anymore, hahaha …”
Talking until the back, Long Xiaochun laughed until she shook with laughter, appearing very happy.
Laughing finish, Long Xiaochun patted Ye Yuan’s shoulder like a little grown-up and said smugly, “Remember, if those Qilin Clan’s old fellows come to find trouble with you, you just report my, Long Xiaochun’s name, got it?”
Ye Yuan found it funny. What sorts of existences were the Qilin Clan’s major powers? Why would they fear you, a little lass?
But, towards this childlike and naive little lass, he really could not bear to reject. Smiling, he nodded and said, “Long Xiaochun, okay. I’ve remembered it.”
“Xiaochun!”
“Xiaochun! Are you here or not?”
Outside the door, an anxious voice suddenly sounded out.
The moment Long Xiaochun heard, she could not help getting a shock, hurriedly running to the back-hall.
In the end, she even turned her head around and warned Ye Yuan, “Not allowed to say that I’m here, got it? Otherwise, I’ll beat you up!”
Long Xiaochun stuck her dainty little fist out, a threatening look on her face, then she slipped into the back-hall.
At this time, a handsome young man walked into the great hall with hurried steps.
Seeing Ye Yuan, the young man clasped his hands and said, “This brother, I wonder if you’ve seen a little girl with a horn growing on her head?”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Seen before. She’s hiding in the back-hall.”

Chapter 2115. Qilin Arrives |
The youth was taken aback. At this time, Long Xiaochun already walked out from the back-hall, using murderous eyes to look at Ye Yuan.
“Ye Yuan, I trusted you! But you actually betrayed me!” Long Xiaochun said angrily.
Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, “Little girl, running away from home, your family will be worried. You saying that you thank me for killing Qi Zhen shows that you really love your big brother. Then how can you bear to make him worry?”
Long Xiaochun was stunned, revealing a thoughtful expression.
By the side, Long Xiaohai was already shocked speechless.
He looked at Ye Yuan in disbelief and said, “You … You killed Qi Zhen? How is this possible?”
A True God Realm killed an Empyrean Realm?
Long Xiaohai felt that this guy must be bragging.
Long Xiaochun held her head with her hand and revealed a furious appearance from failing to live up to expectations as she said, “You stupid big brother! This matter already caused a great sensation in the entire city, but you actually don’t know! He’s called Ye Yuan, the Second Sage personally conferred by Sacred Ancestor High Priest! He’s amazing!”
Shock was written all over Long Xiaohai’s face. Clearly, his brain could not quite wrap itself around it.
“S-Second Sage?”
He truly did not expect that this young man before his eyes actually had such a great background.
Long Xiaochun could not be bothered with Long Xiaohai’s shock and turned to Ye Yuan and said with the appearance of a little grown-up, “Uh … I feel that what you said is very reasonable, but I finally managed to come out. Yet he wouldn’t let me go here, wouldn’t let me go there either. I could only sneak out.”
This Long Xiaochun stayed too long in the pseudo world and was filled with curiosity toward the outside world.
But along the way, Long Xiaohai refused to let her go anywhere. She was naturally very depressed. Hence, she secretly ran off halfway.
Long Xiaohai only came a few days later in order to find Long Xiaochun, so he did not hear the matter of Ye Yuan killing Qi Zhen.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Your big brother is worried about your safety too. That’s why he didn’t let you move around, isn’t that so?”
Long Xiaochun thought about it and nodded her head, but then she shook her head again and said, “I’m very amazing!”
Ye Yuan laughed and said, “Those who come are guests. Since you all came, sit down and drink a cup of wine.”
“Yay, yay! I love drinking wine the most!” Long Xiaochun said with an excited look.
A few cups of wine down the belly, Long Xiaochun was already slightly tipsy.
But her pretty face was glowing red, looking freaking adorable.
Long Xiaochun chirped away. Long Xiaohai also finally understood who Ye Yuan was. But he became even more shocked in his heart.
This young man was actually so incredible!
He had fought with Qi Zhen before and knew about Qi Zhen’s alchemy strength and even more about his pride.
But Qi Zhen actually did not even have the courage to make a move facing Ye Yuan!
Feeling an itch to test his skill, Long Xiaohai even wanted to spar with Ye Yuan a little. The result was naturally being abused until he was black and blue all over.
This way, Long Xiaohai admired Ye Yuan even more.
He finally knew why Qi Zhen did not even have the courage to make a move.
Long Xiaochun watched with great relish by the side, idolizing Ye Yuan to the extreme.
Long Xiaohai was also an alchemy fanatic, discussing in-depth with Ye Yuan for three days and three nights before being fully satisfied.
“Sigh, it’s getting late. Elder Xun they all must be worried sick from waiting. Otherwise, I’d really want to consult Brother Ye for a few months more,” Long Xiaohai said with a look of regret.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “No worries. As long as you guys are willing, you can come to find me at any time.”
Long Xiaohai was pleasantly surprised when he heard that and said, “Brother Ye, is this for real?”
Ye Yuan nodded and said, “I feel very congenial with your brother and sister two people. Looking at you guys is like seeing my kin, I naturally won’t refuse.”
Long Xiaochun nodded repeatedly and said, “Yeah, yeah, it’s true, I also have this kind of feeling! The first time I laid eyes on you, it’s like seeing a big brother.”
After some small talk, the two people took their leave.
Before long, Long Xiaochun even repeatedly urged Ye Yuan, “You have to remember. If the Qilin Clan dares to bully you, just report my name!”
Ye Yuan just brushed it off with a smile and naturally did not take it seriously.
… …
Three days later, an aura powerful until it made people asphyxiated instantly enveloped the entire city.
At this moment, two words flashed across the minds of everyone: Heavenly Emperor!
This powerful aura akin to a god, only Heavenly Emperor powerhouses in the legends could possess it.
“This emperor is the Qilin Clan’s Heavenly Emperor Shaoyun! Give you all a hundred breaths of time! Hand over the chief criminal, Ye Yuan; otherwise, the whole city will be annihilated!”
A voice akin to a clap of thunder sounded out in the ears of every demon in the city.
The demon race powerhouses in the city were all ashen pale. Those who were slightly weaker were even injured by this voice.
“Heavenly Emperor powerhouse! It actually really drew a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse!”
“Damn it! It’s all Lord Second Sage’s fault! Showing off momentary bravery, what to do now?”
“At this time, Lord Second Sage should sacrifice himself to protect the entire demon race!”
… …
There were discussions everywhere in the city.
Ye Yuan’s residence was nearby, there were many demon race powerhouses yelling and hurling insults.
Suddenly, an angry voice sounded out, “All get lost for this empyrean!”
Everyone looked over, it was actually Empyrean Xin Luo!
“When the group of demon powerhouses saw Xin Luo, they immediately exploded.
“Lord Xin Luo, you have to stand up for us!”
“He, Second Sage, can’t make the entire city be buried in death with him because of his individual grudge.”
… …
The pressure that a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse brought to people was seriously too strong.
At the moment of life and death, whatever Second Sage, whatever alchemy genius, it was all useless.
Xin Luo had a grim expression as he said coldly, “All shut up for this empyrean! This empyrean came to request Lord Second Sage to uphold justice for us!”
The moment everyone heard, their faces immediately revealed excited looks.
Uphold justice? Xin Luo’s meaning was handing Ye Yuan over.
Xin Luo arrived in front of the door and said in a clear voice, “Xin Luo requests an audience with Lord Second Sage!”
Creak!
The front door slowly opened. A white-robed youth slowly walked out.
When Xin Luo saw Ye Yuan, he was just about to open his mouth to speak, but then he heard Ye Yuan say coolly, “Don’t need to waste your breath anymore. I already said before on that day at the divine temple. This matter, I’ll shoulder it alone!”
Xin Luo could not help being stunned when he heard that. The words that Ye Yuan said back then, he thought that it was just joking around.
For this, he even laid down an all-encompassing net in the vicinity, afraid of Ye Yuan escaping.
However, not only did Ye Yuan not escape, he actually really stepped up right now!
Xin Luo even thought that he had to use force this time, who knew that Ye Yuan was so sensible.
Could it be that when he killed Qi Zhen, he already prepared to pay with his life long ago?
But no matter what, Ye Yuan himself being willing to go was naturally for the best.
Otherwise, a charge of being disrespectful toward Second Sage could not be avoided.
If Sacred Ancestor High Priest were to really demand accountability, he would definitely be that scapegoat.
Xin Luo gave Ye Yuan a bow and said, “Lord Second Sage understands the righteousness of a cause. Xin Luo admires Lord Second Sage.”
Ye Yuan looked at Xin Luo and said with a cold smile, “Stop putting on an appearance here. You arranged so many spies in the vicinity, do you really think that I don’t know? If this sage really wanted to leave, do you think that you can stop me based on these people?”
When Xin Luo heard that, he could not help revealing a look of surprise.
The spies that he arranged were all Empyrean powerhouses. Ye Yuan actually knew all about it?
Not waiting for him to react, Ye Yuan already took a step out and arrived above the void.
Chapter 2116. I Am Guilty! |
Ye Yuan sized up the old man in front of him. The old man had white hair and the complexion of a child, giving people a feeling of being as deep as the sea.
A Heavenly Emperor, that was a figure above the heavens, the true sovereign of this world.
Although Gongyang Lie was a Heavenly Emperor too, he was a servant and lacking some domineeringness. In front of Ye Yuan, he also did not dare to really reveal the aura of a heavenly emperor.
Only the Heavenly Emperor Shaoyun in front of him was considered a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse in the true sense.
Heavenly Emperor Shaoyun sized Ye Yuan up as if wanting to see through him.
His aura was extremely powerful. Of the demon race powerhouses below, there were already quite a number of people that actually knelt down.
It was just that Ye Yuan was so close to him, but was completely fine.
Swoosh!
In the crowd, a white figure suddenly shot up to the sky.
But she had not gone very far when her figure actually fell back involuntarily, as if getting backtracked.
“Uncle Zhi, what are you doing?” Long Xiaochun said to the dragon race elder beside her with an indignant look.
The old man was expressionless as he said coolly, “This is an unimportant matter that you shouldn’t poke your nose into!”
Long Xiaochun raised her dainty fists and said angrily, “How can it be an unimportant matter? Ye Yuan killed Qi Zhen; it’s equivalent to taking revenge for Big Brother Xiaohai. He’s our Dragon Clan’s friend!”
