Unrivaled Medicine God, page 731
No matter how strong Ye Yuan was, it was also not possible to react.
Huo En did not go and look at Ye Yuan. He was already ready to get up and leave.
But right at this time, Ye Yuan’s body suddenly disappeared from where he was!
“Phantom Kill!”
Huo En’s expression changed drastically. A sense of danger instantly welled up in his heart.
Ye Yuan’s figure actually turned into a blurry shadow and rushed over towards him!
Too fast!
With his strength, he could only barely manage to capture Ye Yuan’s traces too.
“Bloodfeather Sword Art!”
Huo En shouted fiercely, his sword art stabbing over towards that vague shadow like lightning.
Clank! Clank! Clank!
In an instant, the two people exchanged blows no idea how many times.
The powerful undulations shocked the surroundings into a pile of ruins.
After several breaths, Ye Yuan appeared a thousand feet away, his complexion pale and breathing unstable. Clearly, it was a sign of overly exhausting his divine essence.
However, Huo End was not much better either. He gasped heavily for air. That bout of exchange just now rapidly consumed his fiend essence in an instant.
From when he took action to sneak attack Ye Yuan until now, only around ten breaths of time had passed.
Everything happened too quickly!
Huo En did not expect that Ye Yuan’s strength was actually powerful to such a degree.
If not for him being an assassin, his reactions extremely quick, Ye Yuan’s sneak attack earlier would have been able to counter-kill him!
This kid was too dangerous!
At this moment, Huo En finally knew how scalding these 30 million low-grade fiend essence stones were.
Take his life while he was ill!
Huo En was a competent assassin. He already perceived that that move just now was extremely taxing on Ye Yuan. Now, he already did not have much strength to retaliate.
Ye Yuan’s speed was fast, Huo En’s speed was likewise not slow.
As an assassin, speed was a mandatory requirement.
“Bloodfeather Sword Art!”
Blood-light suffused all over Huo En’s body, his figure rushing towards Ye Yuan once more like lightning.
However, he already had no more chances.
“Stop!”
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Five figures made a move at the same time, blocking Huo En’s path.
This place was right outside the Fiend Medicine Hall’s front door. Such a large commotion, how could it not startle them?
Huo En’s expression changed and he said in a solemn voice, “I’m a member of the Assassination Hall, somebody offered a reward for this kid’s life!”
Although the five elders were Fiend Apothecaries, their combat strengths were similarly not weak.
Fighting five-versus-one, they naturally would not fall into a disadvantage.
The reason why Huo En dared to take action here was that this place was their own territory.
Even if he killed people, nobody dared to say anything either.
Although the Blood Yama Hall’s various branch halls were under different commands, they were one family after all.
Huo En never expected that it was precisely his own people who blocked his fatal blow.
He had kept guard outside the whole time and completely did not know the events that happened inside the Fiend Medicine Hall. He even thought that by reporting his background, the five elders would make way.
Meng Qi snorted coldly and said, “This old man hasn’t reached the point where my eyes can’t see clearly! How can I not know that you’re a member of the Assassination Hall? Humph! You actually dared to make a move against our Fiend Medicine Hall’s esteemed guest, this score, we’ll find the Assassination Hall to settle it later!”
Huo En was stunned, doubting whether he heard wrongly or not.
Why did the Fiend Medicine Hall’s five elders help an outsider?
For the sake of a boy who had nothing to do with them, they were actually going to go to war with the Assassination Hall?
Esteemed guest?
A kid whose hair was not fully grown, how did he become the Fiend Medicine Hall’s esteemed guest?
“Meng Qi, what’s the meaning of this? For the sake of an outsider, you’re actually going to make things difficult for my Assassination Hall?” Huo En said in a solemn voice.
Meng Qi was greatly enraged as he said, “Master Source Night is our Fiend Medicine Hall’s most noble guest! I’m warning you, if you dare to touch a hair of his, we aren’t finished!”
Seeing Meng Qi fly off the handle like so, Huo En finally realized that he was not joking.
Master Source Night?
This kid, could it be that he was even an alchemy expert?
You have got to be kidding!
Meng Qi was, at any rate, a leading authority-class figure among Two-star fiend apothecaries too, to actually call a kid who was still wet behind his ears master?
Huo En felt that maybe the five elders have gone crazy?
He gave a cold snort and said, “Humph! Meng Qi, don’t you forget, you’re not the Fiend Medicine Hall’s hall master! This matter, somebody will naturally come and find you!”
Meng Qi was hot-tempered too and immediately said furiously, “Heh heh, good! Very good! Your Assassination Hall is very tough now huh? Today’s word, this old man has remembered it! Get lost!”
Huo En gave a cold snort, and then his figure moved swiftly, vanishing from everyone’s line of sight.
Meng Qi turned to Ye Yuan, cupped his fists, and said with an apologetic look, “The Assassination Hall’s people are becoming more and more insolent! Meng Qi failed in his hospitality and let Master Source Night fall into a dangerous situation. Meng g Qi’s truly ashamed.”
At this time, Meng Qi was actually incredibly shocked in his heart.
One had to know, that assassin was half-step Fiend Commander realm. Ye Yuan, a middle-level Fiend General, could actually retreat unscathed, it was truly surprising.
At this moment, he was incomparably certain, there was definitely a powerful existence behind Ye Yuan.
This young man was not simple! He must not be offended!
Ye Yuan shook his head and said, “Nothing to do with you guys. Somebody else wants my life. Heh, with this, the grudge is sowed big time!”
Use one’s butt to think and one would also know, this incident was definitely Ka Xin causing trouble behind the scenes.
Failing to kill him at the gathering, this time, he actually hired an assassin to deal with him.
Did he really think that Ye Yuan was easy to knead?
Chapter 1492. Blood Essence Contrac |
In order to prevent accidents, Meng Qi personally brought Ye Yuan to the Hundred Knows Hall.
With him coming forward, everything was naturally a cinch.
Under a manager of the Hundred Knows Hall’s lead, Ye Yuan went straight up to the third level. This was the place to receive VIPs.
“Sir wait for a moment here, someone will come and receive you right away,” said the manager and then left.
This was a very elegant room. A delicate fragrance hit one’s nostrils, giving people a feeling of intoxication.
The tea was already brewed. Ye Yuan gently took a sip and praised, “Good tea! The morning dew of purple Qi coming from the East, tea shoots irrigated with spirit rain. Hard to come by, hard to come by! What’s even harder to come by is the pair of skillful hands of the person who brewed the tea.”
Space distorted. A beautiful figure slowly walked out of the void.
This woman’s clothing was half-revealed, her skin fairer than snow, arch eyebrows and cherry lips; not at all inferior compared to Li Ji.
But compared to Li Ji’s reservedness, this girl was zealous like fire, as if going to burn someone. Every twinkle and smile seemed to carry a flirtatious intention.
“Sir Source Night is indeed extraordinary, to actually see through the profundities in this room with a glance.”
The woman slowly sat down not far away from Ye Yuan’s side and said with all smiles, “Sir Source Night’s erroneous praise, Yi Han isn’t worthy of it.”
The charming arts of this woman called Yi Han already reached the acme of perfection. Every careless action could give men immense temptation.
With Ye Yuan’s concentration, he actually had a momentary lapse in mind too.
Clearly just drank a mouthful of tea, he actually felt parched.
However, it was also just that instant.
The firmness of Ye Yuan’s Dao heart was rare in the world.
Wanting to use bewitching arts to confuse him was virtually without any possibility.
“Source Night came here to inquire about information and not play with girls. Miss Yi Han, please call the main person out,” Ye Yuan said coolly.
When Yi Han saw that Ye Yuan’s focus was so great, she could not help being secretly startled inwardly.
This Capone Capital City, the men able to withstand her bewitching arts were rare!
Yi Han covered her mouth and smiled as she said, “Sir Source Night is so oblivious to other people’s feelings. Could it be that in sir’s eyes, Yi Han can’t compare to Li Ji?”
Ye Yuan’s expression turned cold and he said, “Keep pestering unreasonably and don’t blame me for not being courteous!”
But Yi Han said without a care, “Okay, this lowly one wants to see how Sir becomes impolite?”
As she said, Yi Han’s pair of clever hands actually groped toward Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan gave a cold snort, fingers tapping over towards Yi Han’s shoulder like lightning.
Who knew that this Yi Han’s shoulder actually slipped away bizarrely, narrowly avoiding this tap.
Ye Yuan’s heart sank and realized right away that this Yi Han concealed her strength.
His move failing, Ye Yuan hurriedly retreated, pulling apart a distance from Yi Han, maintaining vigilance.
“Goodness, Sir Source Night doesn’t know how to be tender toward girls at all! Attacking so strongly, is this wanting to take this lowly one’s life?” Yi Han giggled and said.
Ye Yuan said in a solemn voice, “Who the hell are you? Why are you teasing me?”
Yi Han smiled and said, “How did this lowly one tease Sir? It was clearly Sir who wanted to ruthlessly crush a flower. However, Yi Han is very curious just who Sir is? Putting aside your strength far surpassing those in the same-rank, your alchemy skills are even so powerful, the Devil Dragon Flame Crystal Pill at your fingertips with ease. Even the Fiend Medicine Hall’s five elders had to show you a pupil’s manners. With my Blood Yama Hall’s eyes and hands, we actually completely could not investigate Sir’s background.”
Ye Yuan’s heart sank, secretly thinking that this Hundred Knows Hall had such access to information.
It seemed like what he had done in Capone Capital City was already completely known by the Hundred Knows Hall.
At this time, Ye Yuan naturally would not treat Yi Han as an ordinary girl anymore. Her strength was likely far above his.
Even Dustless could not fathom Yi Han’s depths either.
Although Dustless’s strength did not recover to its peak state, under Divine Lord Realm, most could not escape his divine sense investigation.
But this Yi Han was clearly an exception.
Ye Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly and he said in a deep voice, “This young master had lived with my master in a remote land since young. It’s also normal for you to not have heard before. So what’s strange about that?”
Ye Yuan naturally would not make this kind of low-level mistake. He had long fabricated his origins.
Yi Han smiled and said, “So that’s how it is. Sir doesn’t need to panic. Let’s sit down and talk?”
Ye Yuan nodded slightly and got seated again, and he said coolly, “If you want to ask about my master, you can save your breath.”
A hint of surprise flashed across Yi Han’s eyes, thinking to himself that this chap was so formidable.
She was just about to open her mouth and ask, and he already used words to block her.
If Ye Yuan’s master was really a reclusive expert, then he was definitely unwilling to reveal his name.
This point was naturally justifiable.
Yi Han smiled faintly and said, “Alright, then Sir Source Night came to Capone Capital City just for the sake of investigation?”
Ye Yuan nodded and said, “Precisely so! Miss Yi Han, wonder if Source Night can ask questions now?”
Yi Han said, “Does Sir know our Hundred Knows Hall’s rules?”
Ye Yuan was stunned and shook his head as he said, “Don’t know.”
Yi Han giggled and said, “Sir is really interesting, to dare come and inquire about information without even knowing the Hundred Knows Hall’s rules.”
Ye Yuan had long heard that the Hundred Knows Hall’s information was not easy to inquire, but he did not know the specifics.
Looking at it now, seemed like he thought too simply about it.
“Pray tell!” Ye Yuan said coolly.
Yi Han said, “Our Hundred Knows Hall’s intel is divided into first-grade to ninth-grade. The first three grades’ intel, as long as one pays sufficient fiend essence stones, they can obtain it. But fourth-grade to ninth-grade intel, apart from having to pay exorbitant fiend essence stones, one even has to agree to do some things for the Hundred Knows Hall for free.”
Ye Yuan said in surprise, “That means, I owe you all a favor?”
Yi Han said, “It’s pretty much this meaning.”
Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, “If I don’t do it?”
Yi Han smiled and said, “You need to leave behind a blood essence contract before we’ll give you the information. If you renege and not do the favor, we can make you wish that you were dead through the blood essence contract.”
Ye Yuan’s heart turned cold. This Blood Yama Hall was very mysterious. It seemed like their background was huge.
Ye Yuan said, “If you all make me go and die, could it be that I have to act in accordance too?”
Yi Han smiled and said, “Our Blood Yama Hall has always been equally honest with the elderly and the young. It’s just that some things, it’s not convenient for us to act in our own capacity, so we need a promise. Some people, we never went to find him even till death. On the blood essence contract, there are naturally also some taboo rules stated one by one; for example, we won’t make you go and die. Of course, if you die in the process of carrying out the contract, it’s not within the scope. Once the contract activates, if you didn’t complete it, you’ll naturally suffer the contract’s backlash.”
Ye Yuan was incredibly shocked in his heart. This was equivalent to saying that as long as someone inquired about fourth-grade and above information, they would all owe the Blood Yama Hall a favor.
With the accumulation year after year, the Blood Yama Hall’s favors outside would be very terrifying.
Among these people, it was hard to guarantee that some powerful existences would not appear.
As long as the Blood Yama Hall continued on retaining this blood essence contract, it was equivalent to this contract continuously appreciating in value!
No wonder even the City Lord Manor did not dare to provoke the Blood Yama Hall too. Just this blood essence contract, how could the average person afford to offend?
Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, “Alright, but I have to take a look at the contract’s contents first.”
Chapter 1493. Special-Grade Retainer |
After the contract entered his hands, a powerful law undulation came from it, making Ye Yuan secretly alarmed.
No idea whose hands this contract originated from, but that person’s strength was definitely very powerful.
Ye Yuan’s divine sense entered inside. The contents of the contract revealed itself.
He carefully analyzed the contents of the contract. After verifying that there was no problem, only then did he slowly say, “No problem. Now, can I ask for the information that I want to know?”
Yi Han smiled and said, “Of course you can! You can just directly ask the contract, the contract will automatically determine the grade of your question. Drip your blood essence on the contract and the information that you want to know will appear on it.”
Ye Yuan drew a deep breath and asked the contract, “A million years ago, Capone Capital City had a fiend commander called Kanuo. I want to know who sent him to carry out the last mission, as well as all of the information for that person!”
After asking this, the contract had a reaction very quickly. A large word gradually appeared on it: Eight.
A hint of surprise flashed across Ye Yuan’s face. He did not expect that this information’s grade was actually so high!
But seeing that ‘eight’ word on the contract, Yi Han was all smiles and said, “Hehe, didn’t expect that Sir Source Night’s information is actually so valuable. Looks like … this favor isn’t small.”
From fourth-grade to ninth-grade, the contents of the contract were naturally different.
Fourth-grade was still relatively easy to return. Ninth-grade … it would probably be a favor to drive one to their death.
If someone checked for information not matching their own strength, that price might be death.
Yi Han looked at Ye Yuan rather interestedly, wanting to see how he choose.
However, she was a little disappointed.
She completely could not see through Ye Yuan’s inner-heart activity, as if what Ye Yuan held in his hand was a piece of blank paper.
Suddenly, a cold light flashed. The tip of Ye Yuan’s finger had a gash cut open. A drop of golden blood slowly fell, dripping onto the contract.
The golden blood instantly disappeared. Very soon, densely packed words appeared on the contract.
Ye Yuan rapidly browsed it over, but the expression on his face became ugly.
Sure enough, the one who sent Kanuo to the Immortal Grove World was precisely that generation’s city lord, called Ka Suo.
