Unrivaled Medicine God, page 694
Bai Chen was weak and indecisive, his personality too simple. His strength was not powerful also. Becoming the palace, he would be toyed to death by people sooner or later.
This point, Ye Yuan had long understood it.
Bai Chong this kind of person, if it were Ye Yuan, he would have long killed him with a palm, but Bai Chen kept refusing to deal the blow.
Such weak and indecisiveness, it was hard to take on major responsibilities.
Bai Chen gritted his teeth and said, “I … I can learn! Teacher Mo Yun said, even though Your Excellency is young, your mind is even more mature than his! Furthermore, your Martial Dao comprehensions are exceedingly deep, making me acknowledge you as master no matter what! If … If you don’t agree, we’ll back out of this struggle for the position of palace lord and go far away henceforth and not come back!”
Ye Yuan paced around, seemingly thinking.
Bai Chen’s current mood was like a well where seven buckets were drawn up and eight dropped down[1].
Suddenly, Ye Yuan put away the Nine Melody Psychic Immortal Fruit and said coolly, “I’ll help you take care of this first.”
Bai Chen was stunned, then immediately revealed a look of wild elation and kowtowed toward Ye Yuan. “Disciple Bai Chen, pays respect to Master!”
Ye Yuan took out a small bottle and threw it to Bai Chen, saying, “These things, just take it as master-acknowledging gifts.”
Bai Chen was rather puzzled. He did not recognize these medicinal pills.
“Master, then … I wonder what this disciple should do next?” Bai Chen consulted.
Ye Yuan said coolly, “Go keep vigil for your father properly. Tomorrow … what should be done should still be done!”
…
Bai Chen left Ye Yuan’s residence with a perplexed look and found Mo Yun.
Ye Yuan’s words left him at a loss.
“How is it? Did Lord Ye Yuan … agree?” Mo Yun immediately went up to ask when he saw Bai Chen.
Bai Chen nodded his head woodenly and said, “Agreed.”
Mo Yun could not help being overjoyed the moment he heard and said, “Excellent! I indeed didn’t see it wrongly! He definitely has a way to save us! How is it? What instructions did he have?”
Bai Chen repeated Ye Yuan’s words with a puzzled expression and said, “Teacher Mo Yun, what do you think Master Ye Yuan meant?”
Mo Yun was even more overjoyed the moment he heard and said, “You, this child, seriously … Lord Ye Yuan not saying anything means that he already has a well-thought-out plan! Tomorrow’s discussion, let’s just care about showing up. Leave the rest to him!”
Bai Chen was still somewhat only half understood it. Mo Yun let out a sigh and asked, “That Nine Melody Psychic Immortal Fruit, he accepted it?”
Bai Chen nodded and said, “Yeah, he even gave me a large bottle of medicinal pills as a master-disciple acknowledgment gift.”
As he said, Bai Chen took out the medicinal pills Ye Yuan gave.
Mo Yun received the medicinal pills and examined it in detail. Suddenly, his expression changed drastically.
“This … This …”
Bai Chen had a blank look as he said, “What is it, Teacher Mo Yun? Do these medicinal pills have anything wrong?”
Mo Yun looked at him with a complicated expression and only said after a long time: “These medicinal pills … if I didn’t see wrongly, it should be called Divine Essence Pill! It’s just that … these medicinal pills’ grade is extremely high. It should reach divine-grade!”
“Divine-grade medicinal pills! The … The legendary divine-grade medicinal pills?” Bai Chen said in shock.
Due to the limitations of Heavenly Dao, inside ordinary small worlds, it was totally impossible to refine divine-grade medicinal pills.
But the Sky Foothill World continuously had Heavenspan World’s powerhouses entering to train and was not completely ignorant about Heavenspan World’s medicinal pills.
Divine-grade middle-grade, that was the legendary grade!
Mo Yun nodded his head deeply and said with a complicated expression, “Many years ago, the old palace lord had once killed a trial-taker who came from the outside world and obtained this kind of medicinal pills from him!”
[1] In turmoil.
Chapter 1417. I Disagree! |
1417 I Disagree!
Bai Chen’s entire body trembled. His gaze revealed a look of astonishment.
“I-Impossible! How can Master Ye Yuan possibly be an outside trial-taker? I … I completely couldn’t perceive it at all!”
Trial-takers were not some secret among the Sky Foothill World’s upper echelons. With Bai Chen’s status, he had clearly heard before.
Mo Yun sucked in a deep breath and said, “I won’t see wrongly! These medicinal pills are extremely similar to the medicinal pills on that trial-taker’s body! It’s just that the medicinal properties are much stronger than that!”
Bai Chen’s eyes revealed an extremely complicated look. Clearly, his inner-heart was also struggling fiercely.
The Sky Foothill Divine Palace had once issued a strict order. Upon discovering trial-takers, kill them without amnesty!
Now, what should they do?
This trial-taker was the life-savior of these master and disciple!
“Then … Then what should we do? Go … Go to the Sky Foothill Divine Palace and report him? No way! Absolutely not! Master Ye Yuan is my life-savior. I can’t do this kind of repaying kindness with an ingratitude action!”
Bai Chen directly denied the idea of going to report Ye Yuan. But he also did not know what he should do and fell into a dilemma for a moment.
Mo Yun said in a solemn voice, “These trial-takers treat our Sky Foothill World as a breeding ground, taking whatever they please, and is the enemy of all of us Sky Foothill martial artists! How can this kind of person be indulged?”
Bai Chen’s expression flickered incessantly, falling silent.
Finally, he still said, “I, Bai Chen, would rather be reviled for generation after generation and also not be willing to be a person who repays kindness with ingratitude! Master Ye Yuan agreed to help me under this sort of circumstances. If I betray him instead, what’s the difference from a pig or a dog? Teacher Mo Yun, if you disagree with my decision, I won’t force you either. You can go and report Master Ye Yuan, but I’ll live and die together with him!”
Mo Yun did not expect that his disciple would actually say these words. A conflicted look appeared on his face and he finally still heaved a sigh and said, “Alright then, who asked you and me to be as close as father and son! Since you’ve already decided, I’ll walk this path with you until it’s dark!”
Bai Chen did not know that his every action was all under Ye Yuan’s surveillance.
And his decision saved his own life too.
With Ye Yuan’s cautiousness, how could he possibly make this kind of low-level mistake?
Him deliberately doing so was actually giving Bai Chen a chance to choose.
If he helped Bai Chen sit on the seat of palace lord and he opened his mouth to ask for the Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stone in the future, Bai Chen would definitely suspect.
Since he was going to expose his identity sooner or later, might as well let Bai Chen know earlier.
If Bai Chen betrayed him, he would kill Bai Chen without the slightest hesitation.
Ye Yuan’s objective of coming to the Sky Foothill World was very simple, it was for the sake of the Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stone.
That was Mu Lingxue’s life-saving object. Ye Yuan absolutely would not allow any accidents!
Even if he was not willing to kill Bai Chen.
Fortunately, Bai Chen chose to stand on his side.
…
In the White Night Sacred Palace’s great hall, Bai Xiu sat on the seat of honor, his brows tightly knitted.
“I’ve just received the news. A large group of Autumn Rain Sacred Palace powerhouses has already entered the White Night Sacred Palace’s sphere of influence. There are probably still a few days and they’ll reach here! Most likely … we must come up with a conclusion today!”
The moment these words came out, the expressions on everyone’s faces were all different.
Some were worried, some were afraid, some were angry.
The truest face of human nature could probably only be seen at this time as well.
“Deputy Palace Lord, Your Excellency, I think there isn’t anything to discuss! This position of palace lord, regardless of which son takes it, it’s not suitable. Best for you to take over the position of palace lord!” said an elder.
The moment these words came out, somebody immediately concurred: “Yeah. Facing a formidable foe, although the young masters are all pretty good, they don’t enjoy high prestige and command universal respect like Deputy Palace Lord, Your Excellency. There’s nothing to discuss, so it’s decided like this!”
“Deputy Palace Lord, Your Excellency’s strength is the most powerful, prestige the highest. Only with you coming forward, can it lead us to resist the powerful enemy! This position of palace lord, accept it!” said another person.
There were a total of eight elders present. They were all Heaven Glimpse Realm powerhouses.
The moment they spoke, there were already three elders who agreed.
The remainder, each and every one of their faces all revealed looks of struggle. But they were leaning toward Bai Xiu as well.
“What are you all still waiting for? Could it be waiting for our White Night Sacred Palace to be exterminated, then you all will choose the new palace lord?” said the elder who spoke first earlier.
Everyone’s expression changed. This sentence became the last straw that broke the camel’s back.
“Alright, I … I agree!”
“I agree too!”
“I … agree!”
The elders all expressed their attitudes one after another, all agreeing for Bai Xiu to take over the seat of palace lord.
Bai Xiu was wildly elated in his heart, but on the surface, he put on a difficult expression and said, “This … How can this do? The White Night Sacred Palace was established by the previous, previous generation palace lord single-handedly, and brought to greater heights in the hands of the old palace lord. What capabilities do I, Bai Xiu, have, to dare succeed the position of palace lord?”
“My Lord Deputy Palace lord, stop declining it! You’re surnamed Bai too, and are brothers in arms with the old palace lord. Why can’t you be the palace lord? Keep declining and the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace will slaughter to the doorstep!”
“Yeah, Deputy Palace Lord, just agree!”
…
The few elders were anxious too, all urging Bai Xiu to succeed the position of palace lord.
Although Bai Xiu was also surnamed Bai, he was not a blood relative of the old palace lord.
In terms of blood lineage, it was naturally the few sons who were the most orthodox.
It was just that at this time, there was already no one who cared about what they thought.
Bai Xiu heaved a long sigh and said, “Since that’s the case, then Bai Xiu will make the best of things and take over the position of palace lord! But I’ll declare it first, I’m only temporarily acting in the position of palace lord. When they grow up, we’ll choose a young master with the greatest prestige to succeed the position of palace lord again!”
The moment these words came out, the elders’ faces all revealed looks of relief.
“Palace Lord, Your Excellency, truly understands the principles of right and wrong, to actually consider so thoroughly! Then this matter is decided! Today, we’ll announce to the entire White Night Sacred Palace in the name of the Elders Association, Deputy Palace Lord Bai Xiu will take over the position of palace lord!” said the elder.
The other few elders also nodded slightly, clearly very satisfied with Bai Xiu’s attitude.
Bai Xiu smiled and said, “Alright, then that’s it for today first! Facing a formidable enemy, I must go and arrange for some things. This matter of announcing to the world will have to trouble the elders!”
“I disagree!”
Right at this time, the Ye Yuan who remained silent all along finally spoke up.
The elders looked at Ye Yuan like looking at a fool, not recognizing this guy at all.
A guy without the slightest divine essence undulation on his body actually dared to talk drivel here?
“Where did this crackpot come from? To actually dare act wildly in the Elders Association? How can the matters that the Elders Association decided be what you can disagree?” That elder who had always endorsed Bai Xiu immediately spoke up to berate.
Under this current situation, Bai Chen had long already been marginalized.
Although he came to the Elders Association, nobody would care about his opinion at all.
As for who he brought, there was naturally even less who paid attention.
Moreover, Ye Yuan looked just like a mortal.
Too unremarkable!
Ye Yuan could not even be bothered to look at him. He just looked toward Bai Xiu and said with a faint smile, “Hey, your acting is pretty good! But … it ends here. I don’t agree with you becoming the palace lord!”
Chapter 1418. Domineering Subjugation! |
1418 Domineering Subjugation!
The group of elders had baffled looks, exchanging glances.
Who was this? He had a problem with his brain, right?
Who the hell were you? You said disagree and we would follow your words?
What has it got to do with you?!
“Bai Chen, manage the men under you properly! I know that you have grievances in your heart, but you have to put the interests of the whole above all else. Right now isn’t the time to throw tantrums!”
“Yeah! Where did this brat pop out from? To actually dare talk drivel here!”
The group of elders all turned the spearhead at Bai Chen. After all, they could not see through Ye Yuan’s depths at all and even thought that Ye Yuan was deliberately sent by Bai Chen to cause trouble.
Bai Chen said coolly, “Forgot to introduce to everyone, this is my newly-acknowledged master! In the future, he shall also be the White Night Sacred Palace’s grand elder! His words are my opinion.”
The moment these words came out, everyone’s faces all changed.
“Nonsense! Bai Chen, if you’re so unbridled again, then don’t blame us, this bunch of old fellows, for not caring about the old palace lord’s old sentiments, and chase you out of the White Night Sacred Palace!” The elder who endorsed Bai Xiu reproached Bai Chen.
Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said coolly, “Elder Bai Rong, right? Is your brain damaged? You and Bai Xiu, two people acting out a carefully choreographed dance, and still want to chase the young lord appointed by the old palace lord out of the White Night Sacred Palace?”
Bai Rong’s expression turned sullen and he said, “Ignorant child, keep talking nonsense! Do you believe this old man will tear your mouth or not?”
But Ye Yuan ignored him and said to the other elders, “I’ll only ask everyone one sentence, is Bai Chen the most qualified to succeed the position of palace lord as the successor that the old palace lord appointed?”
The various elders exchanged glances. Suddenly, someone spoke up, “That’s of course! According to the White Night Sacred Palace’s rules, the young lord is the first-in-line successor! It’s just …”
That elder still wanted to carry on speaking, but he was directly interrupted by Ye Yuan. “Good that there’s that! You all not letting him be the palace lord is nothing more than feeling that he’s still young and his strength is insufficient to convince the public, yes?”
The elders nodded their heads slightly, not having any objections about this.
Facing a great enemy, letting a young man still wet behind his ears go and preside over the overall situation, this was no different from courting death.
Ye Yuan said coolly, “I’ll now support Bai Chen up onto the position of palace lord in the name of Bai Chen’s master! Those who are unconvinced, come and battle!”
It was this simple and crude!
Whatever schemes and intrigues were all paper tigers in front of absolute strength!
It was just that Ye Yuan’s words in other people’s views were a total joke.
Because Ye Yuan looked just like an ordinary person.
Even Bai Chen’s palms were sweating too.
Bai Xiu was a late-stage Heaven Glimpse powerhouses, much stronger than Master Ye Yuan.
But he forcefully calmed down. He did not wish to lose face for his master at this time.
Bai Xiu’s eyes narrowed slightly. The pressure of Heaven Glimpse Realm slowly released and he said in a solemn voice, “Your meaning is that you want to challenge me?”
Ye Yuan said coolly, “Not you, it’s you all! Those who are not convinced, attacking together will do too!”
“Wildly arrogant!”
“Ignorant!”
“Insolent!”
Ye Yuan’s arrogance finally aroused the elders’ wrath.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Don’t talk crap anymore, attack!”
Bai Xiu slowly walked down and said with a cold smile, “If you can beat me, what’s wrong with letting Bai Chen inherit the position of palace lord?”
With the old palace lord not being around any longer, Bai Xiu was the White Night Sacred Palace’s number one person.
If not for so, he would not dare to usurp this position of palace lord either.
Ye Yuan said coolly, “You? Too weak! Don’t blame me for not giving you guys a chance. Attack together! All of the elders, attack together!”
“What a conceited and ignorant brat! This old man is going to measure just how much you weight today!”
“This old man has lived to a ripe old age, it’s still my first time seeing such a wildly arrogant person! Fine, as you wish!”
“Forget it, forget it, a farce! Since you’re seeking death yourself, this old man will send you on your way too!”
