Unrivaled Medicine God, page 581
…
Each person returned to their residence. Meng Guang was concerned about Ye Yuan and dropped by to visit him.
“Ye Qing, your … your injuries are healed so quickly?” When Meng Guang saw Ye Yuan, he had a look of surprise.
The current Ye Yuan had a ruddy complexion with a sheen. How was there any hint of getting injured?
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “I have medicinal pills on me. A bit of minor injury is no problem.”
Meng Guang’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he said solemnly, “Ye Qing, Elder Brother more or less still has some experience! If the deacon’s palm landed on me, even though it’s not to the extent of claiming my life, I’d probably have to lie on the bed for ten days to half a month. Your background is probably not simple, right?”
Meng Guang’s age was not young anymore, and he had struggled at the bottom for a long time. He still had some judgment.
It was precisely so that he took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Ye Yuan.
Building a good relationship with disciples with potential in advance, the road in the sect would also be a little smoother in the future.
But looking at it now, this Ye Qing was likely not just talented so simple.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Brother Meng, originally, I wasn’t planning on telling you. But you’re so righteous. There’s no harm in this Ye giving you a few words of warning. This Moonhowl Sect is a tiger’s lair and dragon’s den to you! These few days, Brother Meng has to act carefully, understood?”
Meng Guang was startled inwardly but did not quite understand why Ye Yuan would say so.
But his thoughts were meticulous and grasped the meaning in Ye Yuan’s words very quickly. Frowning, he asked, “It’s a tiger’s lair and dragon’s den to me, then … it isn’t to you?”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “It’s good that Brother Meng understands! But this matter, I hope that Brother Meng helps me to keep the secret. Otherwise, this show wouldn’t be able to carry on. You can rest assured, within seven days, everything will naturally be revealed.”
Seven days later was the date of action that Ye Yuan and Teng Yun agreed upon.
Because he wanted to investigate this Moonhowl Sect’s secrets, so he came over ahead of schedule.
But titanic storms surged in Meng Guang’s heart when he heard Ye Yuan’s words.
His pugilistic world experiences were extensive. He was able to tell that Ye Yuan only revealed these thoughts to him because of his previous actions.
Meng Guang took a deep breath and said, “You can rest assured, this Meng still has this bit of moral standing.”
Ye Yuan’s expression became solemn and he said with a nod, “You just take it as if you don’t know anything. Take care not to act rashly without careful consideration. Otherwise, not even I can save you.”
Meng Guang’s heart went cold, and he nodded his head solemnly.
…
Nighttime, Ye Yuan was currently comprehending the Black Tortoise Treasure Body Divine Art when suddenly, a waft of strange fragrance bored into his nostrils.
This waft of fragrance was exceedingly demonic and actually made people have a groggy feeling.
Ye Yuan’s brows furrowed, and he instinctively became alert.
“What powerful fiendish energy! Could it be that there’s someone practicing fiend arts?” Ye Yuan thought to himself.
Ye Yuan did not dare to alert the enemy, so he dispersed his perception.
Before long, Ye Yuan discovered that there were a few houses nearby that had activities.
After that, several figures slowly walked past his window, melding into the depths of twilight.
Ye Yuan struggled for a while in his heart, but finally still gave up.
He knew that these few people would probably have little chance of returning.
Not that he was cold-blooded, but him saving these people would definitely alert the enemy.
Compared to finding the fiend race’s base camp, these few people appeared insignificant.
He was not a goody-two-shoes. Things that had lost the main goal because of small gains, he would not do it.
Moreover, these people were totally unsympathetic.
On that day, that deacon wanted to make him the target of attack. These people actually even waved their flags and cheered on by the side with excited looks.
This kind of people, even if you save them, they might not be grateful to you either.
“Looks like this delicate fragrance … should have something to do with the Moonhowl Sect’s frequently recruitment of disciples. Tonight, a total of four people were lured away. This batch found a total of 100-odd people. Three month’s time is just about right. Most likely, that whatever holy sovereign needs to cultivate his skill with the help of living people. right?” Ye Yuan guessed so.
Sure enough, as Ye Yuan expected, after these people left, they never came back.
Early the next morning, Meng Guang came to Ye Yuan’s room secretly.
After he entered, he poked his head out and looked around for a bit before shutting the door at ease.
“Ye Qing, did you notice that something seemed to be off last night?” Meng Guang said.
Ye Yuan looked at Meng Guang rather surprisedly and retorted with a question, “Was something wrong?”
Meng Guang’s expression changed, and he lowered his voice and said, “Last night, no idea where a waft of fragrance came from. At that time, I became alert. However, that fragrance was too powerful. I only held on for a short while and became unconscious. This morning when I woke up, I specially checked on the side-peak. Sure enough, several houses became quiet! The people who came in together with us are gone!”
Talking up to here, Meng Guang had a look of lingering fear in his heart.
Actually, yesterday, he was still half-dubious towards Ye Yuan’s words.
But now, he was jumpy with fear and only wanted to escape this fire pit as fast as possible.
Just as Ye Yuan said, this place was simply a tiger’s lair and dragon’s den!
One wouldn’t even know how they died!
Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, “Looks like Brother Meng’s means are not ordinary either! That fragrance is not what ordinary people can resist. Not only did you detect it, but you were also actually able to resist for a while!”
Chapter 1188. Sneaking into Luoyan Hall |
Meng Guang’s expression was very ugly. He really became scared.
“I say, Younger Brother Ye Qing, don’t make a fool out of your elder brother! I know that my bit of capabilities, you completely turn your nose up at it! Younger Brother, you can’t leave me in the lurch!”
Meng Guang originally thought that entering the Moonhowl Sect could benefit from some of the sect’s glory. He did not expect that it was delivering a lamb into the tiger’s maws. How could he not be anxious?
Except, he knew that with his strength, there was absolutely no way he could escape.
Ye Yuan was his savior right now.
Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, “Hold your horses, Brother Meng. I have a Mind Clarity Pill here. Grind it to powder. After consuming 20%, you can naturally resist that fragrance. These few days, try your best not to go out. I still have some things to do. After this matter is over, I’ll naturally bring you away.”
Meng Guang received the medicinal pill and looked. It was actually a transcendent-grade Tier 9 medicinal pill!
He drew a deep breath. His gaze when looking towards Ye Yuan was filled with complexity.
To be able to casually take out this grade of medicinal pill, this Ye Qing was definitely not an ordinary person!
The medicinal effects of a transcendent-grade Tier 9 medicinal pill were too strong. With Meng Guang’s strength, he could not withstand it at all. Hence, it could only be ground into powder and consumed a little bit.
But this little bit was already sufficient!
Meng Guang gritted his teeth and said, “Thank you very much, Brother Ye Qing! If I’m able to escape this fiend den, this Meng will definitely work like a horse to repay brother!”
Sending away Meng Guang, Ye Yuan tidied up a bit and headed straight out.
Ye Yuan was going to select cultivation methods. Over there, he saw quite a few martial artists who came together.
When these people saw those Tier 9 cultivation methods, each and every one of them was incomparably excited.
Little did they imagine that there were already a few companions around them who disappeared.
This batch of disciples were mostly itinerant cultivators. They did not know each other at all.
They acted alone. Even if there were people missing, they would only think that they were practicing in closed-seclusion.
Ye Yuan naturally did not really go and choose cultivation methods. He was deliberately delivering himself to the doorstep to let that deacon find trouble.
As soon as he entered the skills-hall, Ye Yuan knew that he was targeted by someone.
Furthermore, this person’s strength was very powerful!
Ye Yuan was virtually certain that this person was most probably that so-called holy sovereign powerhouse!
In a secret place, the deacon stood behind the holy sovereign obediently.
“This young man is merely an ordinary Eighth Level Heaven Enlightenment and didn’t conceal his strength. Furthermore, didn’t he also come to choose cultivation methods and martial techniques today? It seems like he should just have an indifferent personality and don’t have any special aspects,” the holy sovereign said softly.
“Yes, Master. It was this slave who worries too much,” the deacon said with humble reverence.
“En. this batch of disciples are pretty good quality. That lord is very satisfied. Later, there will be great rewards!” said the holy sovereign.
The deacon was overjoyed and hurriedly said, “Thank you, Master! This is all what this slave should do.”
“There’s at most one year still, and Lord Kanuo will be coming into being. At that time, our fiend race’s strongholds in the Divine Realm must all be fully activated. Our place here will be the important stronghold for connecting to various lands. Hence, we mustn’t make any mistakes! In this one year, buck yourself up 120%, not a single bit of mistake is allowed! Especially the Devil Sound Transmission Array, understood?” the holy sovereign said.
The deacon hurriedly said, “This slave remembers!”
Although Ye Yuan knew that someone was spying on him, he was unable to hear what they were talking about.
If he heard the holy sovereign talk about that lord, he probably would not be so composed.
In this stronghold, there was actually an existence even stronger than a holy sovereign!
…
Relaxing vigilance towards Ye Yuan, Ye Yuan’s actions over the next few days became much smoother.
Through several days of investigation, Ye Yuan could basically confirm that the main peak’s Luoyan Hall was most likely where the hub of the transmission array was located!
Ye Yuan possessed the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil and was simply a natural scout.
He did not need to sneak around furtively like others and keep a sharp lookout.
He just strolled around the vicinity of the main peak very casually. Everything was laid bare in his eyes.
After all, he was a newcomer disciple. Familiarizing with the environment around the main peak was very justifiable.
As for some more secretive places, with Ye Yuan’s methods, those fiends were clearly unable to discover him.
That Luoyan Hall was a very unassuming palace. But the defense was very strict.
Those guards did not look very strong on the surface. But when Ye Yuan used the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil to observe from far away, the Luoyan Hall’s guards were most likely divine king-rank fiends!
Genuine fiends and not devilfied fiend slaves.
Such strict defenses were bound to guard some extremely important things.
Then what thing was the most important in this Moonhowl Sect?
Of course, it was the information transmission array!
These few days, the new disciples lost some more people one after another.
Meng Guang secretly broke into a sweat with fright, secretly heaving a sigh of relief at getting lucky.
Consuming Ye Yuan’s medicinal pills, that waft of fragrance was indeed unable to affect him anymore.
If not for Ye Yuan, perhaps he would be among those people who disappeared.
On the sixth night, Meng Guang finally saw Ye Yuan come over.
“My goodness! Younger Brother Ye Qing, you finally came! These few days, I was akin to sitting on pins and needles. If you still didn’t come, I’d probably go crazy!” Meng Guang complained.
Death was not scary. The process of waiting for death was what’s scary!
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Let’s go, I’ll bring you to take a look at this Moonhowl Sect’s true face!”
Meng Guang’s expression turned stern, and he followed Ye Yuan away.
Ye Yuan had long observed it before. There were ten visible tips and three hidden tips around Luoyan Hall.
Only when he resolved all of these at the same time could he enter Luoyan Hall without a sound.
“Younger Brother Ye Qing, what exactly are you trying to do?” Meng Guang said with divine sense transmission.
Ye Yuan had him eat a Breath Concealing Pill. The two people hiding in the dark, those fiends could not discover it either.
Ye Yuan smiled slightly, his figure suddenly disappearing from where he was!
In the dark night, 13 arcs of cold light flashed by.
Those 13 guards all died under Ye Yuan’s sword!
Meng Guang’s eyes widened into circles, looking at this scene in disbelief.
Only at this time did he know just how terrifying the strength of this Brother Ye Qing who had always called him brother was!
How was this some Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artist? This was clearly a Divine King Realm powerhouse!
Instantly killing 13 Phaseless Realm guards in one breath and did not even give off any hint of happenings. This strength, probably only Divine King Realm powerhouses could achieve it, right?
Of course, this was what Meng Guang had in mind.
But in reality, those 13 guards were divine king-rank experts in itself!
Ye Yuan’s strength, he was completely unable to gauge it.
“Brother … Ye … Your Excellency, you … you’re actually a divine king powerhouse!” Coming before Ye Yuan, Meng Guang was stammering even when talking.
Divine kings were remote existences to him.
An existence that he was unable to attain for all his life.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Considered so. Come on, go in!”
Ye Yuan brought Meng Guang and passed through all sorts of restrictions very casually, and entered inside Luoyan Hall.
In-between this, killing was naturally inevitable.
It was just that with Ye Yuan’s means, nobody was able to react at all and were instantly killed.
Even that holy sovereign, Ye Yuan had the confidence to one-shot too, let alone these guards.
Entering the great hall, Ye Yuan was stricken dumb with amazement by the scene before his eyes.
Chapter 1189. Enemies Meet on a Narrow Path |
The interior of this great hall had its own space, loaded with a whole bunch of array formations, giving people a sense of dizziness.
“This … What place is this? How could there be such a complicated transmission array?” Meng Guang said in shock.
“The Moonhowl Sect is the fiend race’s underground stronghold, in charge of collecting intelligence and transmitting information. The transmission array here was likely already reached the grade of 10 thousand. It looks like our luck is pretty good. This place should be a rather important stronghold for the fiend race.”
Seeing this colossal and complex transmission array, Ye Yuan also felt very lucky.
With his strength, finding some useful information from inside these transmission arrays naturally could be done.
“Fiend … Fiend race?” Meng Guang was frightened by this term.
Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said, “The fiend race has long penetrated to every corner of the Divine Realm already. In less than three years, the fiend calamity will definitely erupt.”
Meng Guang opened his eyes wide. He was thunderstruck by the news Ye Yuan brought until he was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
While he was still in astonishment, Ye Yuan’s figure already moved and started extracting the information inside the transmission array.
These transmission arrays were intertwined and already gave birth to god knows how many.
If it were others, they would not even know where to begin.
But to Ye Yuan, this was not something hard.
No matter how complicated this array formation was, it was all controlled by a central grand array.
What Ye Yuan wanted to do was to grasp this hub!
As long as he grasped the grand array’s hub, he would be able to extract the information inside the entire grand array as he pleased.
However, such a convoluted grand array, even if it was Ye Yuan, it could not be controlled in a short while.
Meng Guang finally came back to his senses from the shock. He discovered that he was actually attempting to control the grand array!
“He … He’s actually even a Tier 9 Formations Emperor?”
Meng Guang felt like his own brain was somewhat inadequate to use.
Although he did not know array formations, he could still tell what Ye Yuan was doing.
In his view, this grand array was as vast as the stars in the sky.
But under Ye Yuan’s hands, seemed like … it was not that complicated.
…
“ARGH!!”
Following a liberating roar, that man on the bed immediately became a dry corpse, toppling over.
An extremely charming, beautiful madam slowly sat up. The corners of her mouth showing an alluring smile.
“Joy-killing little thief, you interrupted Grandaunt’s mood. Forget it, let Da You go take care of it. Such a nice taste mustn’t be wasted!”
