Unrivaled Medicine God, page 212
"Long time no see, Ye Yuan! In order to find you, I've flipped the entire capital over these past few months! I didn't think that you'd actually be right under my eyelids, and even became Sovereign Star Abyss's disciple! If not for today I was seized with a sudden impulse to come here and take a look at the spouse finding martial competition, I'm afraid that I wouldn't even know when you escape back to the Endless World!"
Although Lan Hu said it smilingly, anyone could tell the fury in his words.
These words said by Lan Hu was not in any way exaggerated. These few months, he would go to the city gates and keep watch there, hoping to discover Ye Yuan.
Yet, several months went by, and he did not even have any hint of information!
He never would have thought that Ye Yuan not only entered the capital long ago, but Ye Yuan also even became Sovereign Star Abyss's eighth disciple.
This discovery made him depressed until he was about to vomit blood!
Seeing Lan Hu, Ye Yuan knew that his tracks were ultimately still exposed.
Knowing that he could not conceal it, Ye Yuan gave a faint sigh and said, "So, it's Lan Hu huh. It's really been a long time since we've met. I didn't think that you'd actually pay such close attention to my affairs!"
When Ye Yuan's words came out, the facial expressions of Shi Haoran and the others changed drastically!
This was equivalent to him acknowledging the matter of being a spy.
"This . . . How is this possible? I clearly investigated your divine soul before. All of the characteristics were exactly identical with us Fierce Gale World martial artists!"
By the side, Xiao Changfeng's face already turned deathly pale and still did not dare to quite believe it until now.
Hearing these words, Ding Liang had a doubtful look too. His realm was much higher than Xiao Changfeng's and could sense that Ye Yuan's divine soul was no different from Fierce Gale World martial artists.
If not for Lan Hu seeing Ye Yuan before with his own eyes, it was utterly impossible for him to suspect Ye Yuan.
In truth, if not for this point, perhaps Ye Yuan would have been exposed long ago. It was impossible to be arrogant under their eyelids until now!
Among the people that Ye Yuan came into contact with, many were high tier martial artists and could very easily detect the abnormality of his divine soul.
Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Haha. That's very simple!"
As he said, Ye Yuan's divine soul underwent a minute transformation. But everyone's faces changed!
"This . . . How is this possible?"
Everybody's eyes went wide and stared at Ye Yuan in disbelief. Even the sovereign level powerhouse, Ding Liang's pupils constricted. He was evidently abnormally shocked.
"Haha. Nothing is impossible. It's just slightly altering the characteristics of the divine soul," Ye Yuan said with a faint smile.
Only after a long while did everyone recover from the shock. Ding Liang said with a solemn voice, "Shi Haoran, you saw it too. What else is there to say? This child's talent is even more monstrous than Shangguan Lingyun and His Highness, the Seventh Prince! He absolutely mustn't be allowed to leave! Or else, he's bound to be my Fierce Gale World's mortal malady in the future!"
Shi Haoran's expression flickered ceaselessly. Clearly, his heart was endlessly conflicted.
Ye Yuan suddenly said, "Many thanks for Eldest Senior Brother's and Seniors' care these few days. Little brother is also helpless. That's why I hid my identity. Today's matter will be shouldered by Little Brother alone! Eldest Senior Brother, please return!"
At this juncture, Shi Haoran falling out and becoming enemies with him was an extremely normal thing. Ye Yuan obviously would not bear enmity against him.
On the contrary, he was very grateful for Shi Haoran's care this period of time. Shi Haoran's this sort of shielding one's shortcomings very much matched Ye Yuan's appetite.
However, what made Ye Yuan surprised was that Shi Haoran suddenly blocked in front of him and said to Ding Liang, "No matter who he is, he's my little junior brother! You want to bring him away, sure. But I have to bring him back to Qixia Mountain first and let Master Star Abyss deal with him first! Before anything else, he's my little junior brother. Nobody can think about touching a hair of his!"
Chapter 435. Ye Yuan's Charm |
"You! You're really impervious to reason! Do you know what the consequences of protecting this boy are?" The words from Shi Haoran angered Ding Liang until he stomped his foot.
Shi Haoran already thought it through currently and was no longer conflicted. He immediately said coolly, "I'm only saying to wait until he returns to Qixia Mountain. I didn't say to let him back to the Fierce Gale World either. What are you kicking up a fuss for? You're aware of Master Star Abyss's character. If I hand Ye Yuan to you today, I'll die very horribly when I return! While you . . . likewise won't feel nice!"
Ding Liang could not help choking up. Star Abyss's sanctions were still fresh in everyone's minds.
"Humph! Let's go!"
Seeing Ding Liang waver, Shi Haoran gave a cold snort and was about to bring them away.
"Wait a minute!" Ding Liang suddenly woke up and gave a loud cry, "Shi Haoran! Don't you compel me to use force!"
As he said, the aura of Divine Traversing Realm released. Everyone's faces changed!
The oppression of a Divine Traversing Realm was not a joke!
Ding Liang did not even make a move yet, and everyone already had a feeling like the heaven was rent asunder and the earth cracked. Even breathing was very laborious as if somebody was clutching their throats.
What was the notion of Divine Traversing Realm?
This was basically the pinnacle existence for Lower Realm martial artists! A character that stood at the very peak of the food chain! An existence like the spire of a pyramid!
Once such a character made a move, ordinary people utterly did not have the chance to resist.
Even Soul Sea Realm martial artists were also ant-like existences in front of Divine Traversing Realms!
When Ding Liang demonstrated his power, Shi Haoran's face changed too.
He was not an arrogant and conceited person. In front of Ding Liang, he did not have the leeway to retaliate at all. But in order to bring Little Junior Brother back to Qixia Mountain today, he was ready to risk it all!
This was something that must be done by someone of the Star Abyss tutelage. Want to punish, it was also punishment by their own people. When was it other people's turn to punish?
Everyone had their own insistence, and Shi Haoran's insistence was the pride of Star Abyss's line as well as protection towards their own people!
"Ding Liang! If you have the capabilities, then kill me!" Shi Haoran's words revealed an icy-cold intent.
Ding Liang suddenly let out a sigh and said, "Shi Haoran, His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, has already issued the order to be sure to bring Ye Yuan away! Apologies, I can only offend!"
Only to see him wave his sleeves grandly. An enormous force sent Shi Haoran flying out.
"Puhwark!"
Shi Haoran crashed heavily onto the ground and vomited a mouthful of fresh blood.
"Eldest Senior Brother!" Seeing Shi Haoran sustain injuries, Ye Yuan's expression changed.
Ding Liang did not hesitate in the slightest and took this chance to directly reach his hand out and grab at Ye Yuan!
A horrifying oppressive power directly shackled Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan actually could not move at all and could only let Ding Liang capture at his discretion.
But at this time, a beautiful shadow suddenly blocked in front of Ye Yuan!
Ye Yuan was taken aback from shock and yelled out, "Ruyan! Get away from me!"
Xiao Ruyan's hands stretched out and turned a deaf ear to Ye Yuan's words. But she shut her eyes, a manner of waiting for death.
"Regardless of who you are, you're my, Xiao Ruyan's, master! I can't watch you die! Ding Liang! Want to kill, you kill me together too!" Xiao Ruyan reproached daintily.
"Humph! Ignorant child! To actually help an enemy from another world! I still have some trepidation towards Shi Haoran, but just with a little baby girl who's still wet behind her ears like yourself, do you really take me to not dare to kill you? Since you wish to die, I'll help you achieve your aim!" Ding Liang said with a cold snort.
Ye Yuan was so anxious that he broke into a cold sweat. He cursed, "You dumb*ss! Quickly get lost for me! Do you hear?"
Ye Yuan was suppressed dead by Ding Liang's aura and completely could not move at all. And that battle with Zhao Chenggan prior to this, his wounds were extremely severe. Now, he completely did not have the slightest bit of strength to retaliate.
Ding Liang wanting to kill Xiao Ruyan was simply as easy as blowing away dust!
Could it be that . . . he had to watch Xiao Ruyan die before him helplessly?
Right then, Ye Yuan's eyes blurred. Ding Liang's figure was suddenly totally blocked.
A large fatty suddenly appeared and blocked in front of Xiao Ruyan. It was precisely Second Senior Brother, Tang Zhi!
Tang Zhi looked at Ding Liang calmly as he said coolly, "Ding Liang, kill me together too! I want to see how many people can you kill today!"
As he said, the other five seniors blocked in front of Ye Yuan too, covering him solidly.
At this instant, Ye Yuan's eyes unwittingly became somewhat wet.
These seniors clearly knew that he was someone from another world, yet they actually barricaded in front of him without any hesitation.
This gratitude, Ye Yuan probably could not cut it off in this lifetime no matter what!
"Humph! Who says that I must kill you guys? Just the likes of the few of you also wish to get in the way of me capturing this boy?"
Ding Liang gave a cold snort and lightly slapped out a palm. Immediately, violent winds howled, sending everyone flying.
The strength of a Divine Traversing Realm martial artist was simply inexorable!
"Puhwark!"
Ye Yuan was originally already heavily injured. At this time, injuries piled on top of injuries, and he could not hold back the sweetness in his throat, and a mouthful of blood spewed out.
A blur before his eyes. A silhouette appeared before him.
"Really can't tell that you, boy, actually have such charm to make so many people willingly die for you! However . . . I want to see who else can stop me from capturing you now!" Ding Liang said lightly with his hands behind his back.
Ye Yuan's complexion was as pale as paper and was already very frail. He looked at Ding Liang cold and detachedly and said coolly, "Ding Liang, right? If I don't die today, there will definitely come the day where you'll regret it!"
Ding Liang's actions already touched Ye Yuan's reverse scale.
Ye Yuan spoke very calmly. But the calmer he was, the more enraged it meant he currently was!
If not for Tang Zhi earlier, Xiao Ruyan would already be a dead person.
Ding Liang was wary of the identities of Shi Haoran and the others, but he completely thought nothing of Xiao Ruyan.
What capital's dual absolutes. In the eyes of a character like Ding Liang, it was a joke.
When needed, he did not mind ruthlessly destroying a flower at all!
Hearing Ye Yuan's words, Ding Liang's brows involuntarily knitted. He said with a cold smile, "Young man, you're thinking too much! Don't forget where you are right now! This place is the Fierce Gale World, not the Endless World! Even if I let you leave today, do you think that you can escape from the capital? In here, everyone is your enemy! You alone, are facing an entire small world! Hence, don't hold any chances in your heart. You won't have the opportunity to take revenge!"
Ding Liang did not suspect Ye Yuan's words and also did not feel that Ye Yuan's words had any laughable areas.
Ye Yuan defeated Zhao Chenggan who was a full major realm higher than him with Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm cultivation. Such monstrous talent, surpassing him in the future was practically set in stone.
Yet, the Wind Emperor would not give him the opportunity!
Ye Yuan was dead for sure!
Ye Yuan was extremely feeble right now and already could not be bothered to carry out meaningless arguments with Ding Liang.
He shut his eyes and slowly revolved his skill to refine the medicinal strength.
"Alright, it's late. His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, is most likely already anxious from waiting. Take a trip with me!" Ding Lian said. His hand reached towards Ye Yuan once more.
"Ding Lian, you treated my disciples in such a manner; have you made the preparations to receive my wrath?"
Right then, a cold voice suddenly sounded out and transmitted into everyone's ears.
When Shi Haoran and the others heard this voice, they could not help becoming overjoyed!
Chapter 436. Wind Emperor Appears! |
A faint divine soul aura rippled out. Everyone only felt the pressure on their bodies ease up. That sort of stifling feeling previously instantly vanished with a trace.
"Master!" Shi Haoran and the others called out in one voice.
A figure stood in the air, facing Ding Liang across a distance. Who could it be but Star Abyss?
"L-Lord Star Abyss!"
Seeing Star Abyss, Ding Liang also involuntarily lowered his proud head.
Regardless where, the status of alchemists was exceptionally venerated. Even in the Fierce Gale World where alchemy skills had declined, an Alchemy Sovereign powerhouse like Star Abyss still had a lofty status.
The reason was none other than because the medicinal pills required by Divine Traversing Realm experts, only Star Abyss could refine them!
This was the reason behind the pride of Shi Haoran and the others!
What kind of existence Alchemy Sovereign powerhouses were, one just had to look at the medicinal theory class Ye Yuan studied back then at the Dan Wu Academy to understand this point.
A theory foundation left behind by an Alchemy Sovereign became the holy scripture that the entire continent pursued.
This was a character that could leave behind a legend on a plane!
An era might have many, many Divine Traversing Realm powerhouses. But the number of Alchemy Sovereign powerhouses were scanty few!
Star Abyss's status in the entire Fierce Gale World could be seen at a glance.
"Ding Liang, you beat up all of my eight disciples until heavy injuries today. This account, do I find you to settle it, or should I go and claim from Zhao Tianyin?" Star Abyss said coolly.
Ding Liang sweated heavily. He did not think that Star Abyss would actually arrive so quickly. This time, it was not easy to wind this matter up.
"This . . . Ding Liang was a little too rash. But Lord Star Abyss, this new disciple of yours is the Endless World's spy! Lord Wind Emperor gave a death order to definitely bring him back to interrogate!" Ding Liang was helpless and could only bring out Wind Emperor.
Star Abyss waved his hand and said, "Ye Yuan's matter, I'll go explain to Zhao Tianyin myself. Now, you can leave."
"This . . . I'm afraid that this is . . . inappropriate, right?" Ding Liang did not think that Star Abyss was actually so unyielding. For a spy from another world, he actually did not even give face to the Wind Emperor.
Star Abyss shot him an indifferent glance and said, "Then, are you prepared to take care of me together too?"
Ding Liang was shocked and hurriedly said, "Dare not, dare not. Even if Ding Liang's guts were any greater, I wouldn't dare to make a move against Lord Star Abyss either!"
But Star Abyss no longer bothered with him and said to his disciples directly, "Support your little junior brother and follow me."
Ding Liang's heart was gloomy!
Indeed, like master, like disciple! This master and disciples' way of handling things was simply carved from the same mold; they were directly treating him like air!
But Ding Liang daring to make a move against Shi Haoran and the rest did not mean that he dared to attack Star Abyss.
Making a move against Shi Haoran and the rest still had room for maneuver. But making a move against Star Abyss's actual person was equivalent to the Royal Family and the Alchemist Association breaking away completely!
With the Alchemist Association's rallying power, forget about them, these Divine Traversing Realm experts, having to chance to have any medicinal pill to use in the future. Most likely, in the entire Fierce Gale World, no martial artists could get medicinal pills.
Even the Xiao Family and Tong Family, these alchemy families who depended on the royal family, they would probably close down their stores very soon as well.
Ye Yuan did not think that Star Abyss would actually shield him so domineeringly, making him feel a warmth in his heart.
Although the current Ye Yuan was just a small character in the war between two worlds, his monstrous talent had already been revealed. The Wind Emperor would not let him leave easily.
Star Abyss saying this was tantamount to falling out with the Wind Emperor.
Such resolve, how could Ye Yuan not appreciate the kindness?
"You caused an uproar in the capital actually just to take in a disciple?" Star Abyss transmitted his voice.
Thick displeasure was revealed in his words. Very clearly, stirring up this situation was not what he wished to see.
To be able to send Ye Yuan away noiselessly, that was the best outcome. Yet, Ye Yuan was simply not a law-abiding person and actually caused storms to rage throughout the entire capital for a girl.
Even more damnable was that Ye Yuan defeated everyone, but the final outcome was not to hug a beauty back but just to accept a disciple.
This sort of powerful and unconstrained style of doing things also made Star Abyss this titan thunderstruck until he was tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.
Ye Yuan said nonchalantly, "For real men, some things are necessary, while other things absolutely mustn't be done. Since we're friends, how can I watch her jump into a fire pit helplessly? It's just that I never thought that thorough considerations would have an oversight. There was actually still somebody who recognizes me in the capital . . ."
