Based on the attitudes of Qin Yan and the others, they completely did not believe that there was this matter of another world invading.
After all, several thousand years had already passed since the previous great war. Even a sect like the Grand Yan True Sect was already buried in the annals of history.
The Grand Yan True Sect was also to blame for being overly domineering back then; directly sealing the realm passageway, resulting in the great war between two worlds not clashing on a massive scale.
The Endless World martial artists did not suffer a pain which cut deep. Their impression of the other world was not so deep as well.
But Ye Yuan believed that those major powers in the Northern Domain should have heard of this segment of history.
Except, Mei Zhen most likely did not meet those people when he went over this time.
A Sea Transformation Realm martial artist might be powerful enough in the Southern Domain. But placed in the Northern Domain, it was nothing.
"What a pack of nonsense! Why would there be another world invading for no reason? You said that the Purple Mansion Sect were the other world's survivors. What proof is there?" Qin Yan said.
Ye Yuan had long known that Qin Yan would have such an inquiry. His hands briefly kneaded a seal. A silhouette suddenly appeared before everyone.
"Spatial spirit artifact!" Seeing this scene, Qin Yan trio were all startled.
Spatial spirit artifacts were beloved treasures that everyone would want to get their hands on. Even them, the Northern Domain's top disciples, did not have in their possessions.
Seeing that Ye Yuan actually had a spatial spirit artifact, their gaze involuntarily became scorching.
Ye Yuan shot a glance and said, "Put away your ideas. Or else, you might not be able to walk out of the Tranquil Cloud Sect! This is the slave that I captured in the Fierce Gale World. His name is Lan Feng. Let him talk to you about the Fierce Gale World's matters."
Ye Yuan already had Sea Transformation Realm strength at present. Even when facing Early-Stage Soul Sea Realm martial artists, he had sufficient self-preserving strength too. Hence, he did not mind exhibiting the spatial spirit artifact in front of these people.
But Ye Yuan's words astonished the trio tremendously. Qin Yan exclaimed in shock, "You . . . You've been to the other world?"
Ye Yuan said nonchalantly, "Naturally I've been there before. Lan Feng's divine soul is slightly different from the Endless World martial artists. You guys investigate it slightly and should be able to discover some inklings."
Qin Yan probed and discovered that Lan Feng's divine soul was indeed slightly different from the Endless World martial artists!
This shock was tremendous. In his heart, he already believed Ye Yuan's words to a certain extent!
"Lan Feng, you pick out a few important things about the Purple Mansion Sect and the Fierce Gale World's past for them to hear," Ye Yuan instructed.
"Yes, Master!" Lan Feng cupped his hands slightly and started talking.
As time passed, the expressions on Qin Yan and the rest became increasingly grim.
Turned out that things had already reached such a critical state. They were actually still harboring the mentality of watching the show coming over to the Tranquil Cloud Sect this time.
After Lan Feng finished talking, Qin Yan trio exchanged glances, their eyes revealing a never-before astonishment.
"Oh, right, Lan Feng did not say it just now. The Fierce Gale World is a middle-order small world. The wind emperor's strength is . . . Boundless Realm!" Ye Yuan said indifferently.
Chapter 474. Staying Behind to Be a Hostage |
The Qin Yan trio seemed to have something stuck in their throats and were not able to speak for a while.
"B-Boundless Realm? You're not joking, right?"
After a long time, Li Junjie finally recovered but was still filled with incredulity.
"Joking? Back then, the Grand Yan True Sect was ten times stronger than your Myriad Sword Sect. However, the Grand Yan True Sect hesitated at nothing to sacrifice the lives of six sovereign level array masters to deploy the Six Extreme Seals Grand Array! Do you think that they had the need to treat their lives jokingly?" Ye Yuan said with a cold smile.
The present Endless World's situation was different. Back then, the Grand Yan True Sect reigned supreme, overshadowing all of the sects.
Although the Grand Yan True Sect's Sect Master's status was not on par with Zhao Tianyin's, it was not far from the latter either.
Even such strength could not resist the previous generation Wind Emperor. What did the Myriad Sword Sect even count as?
"Hiss . . ."
The information that Ye Yuan uttered today, the shock it brought them was too intense.
Mei Zhen had not spoken more than a few words at the Myriad Sword Sect and was detained. Those people did not take it seriously at all.
Now, Ye Yuan spoke with definite evidence and even let Lan Feng out. It was not up to them to not believe.
"Like this, isn't our Endless World facing imminent danger?" Gu Tianyou muttered.
"Hur hur, good that you know! But I still have something that I want to ask the three of you. Is my Tranquil Cloud Sect's Elder Mei Zhen detained by your Myriad Sword Sect?" Ye Yuan asked with gleaming eyes.
One sentence and it dragged the three people back to reality.
Qin Yan said with a sneer, "So what if yes?"
Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said to Gu Tianyou and Li Junjie, "Good that it's yes. The two of you can head back already. This whatever Eldest Senior Brother Qin Yan will stay in our Tranquil Cloud Sect to be a hostage then. Whenever you people release Elder Mei back, he can return to the sect."
The three people were stunned when they heard these words. Wasn't this punk overestimating his own strength too much?
"Detaining Eldest Senior Brother? Haha! Really unafraid of the wind spraining your tongue if it blows hard! Do you think that you can keep Eldest Senior Brother with the likes of that First Level Soul Sea Realm Sect Master?" Li Junjie said with a cold laugh.
"Haha! You all have stayed too long in the Southern Domain and already became frogs in a well, right? Do you know how formidable Eldest Senior Brother's strength is?" Gu Tianyou seemed to have heard some hilarious joke and grinned from ear to ear.
Even Qin Yan himself shook his head too and said with a smile, "Overconfident fool!"
But Ye Yuan said nonchalantly, "I already said, disciple versus disciple. How could the likes of you all have the qualifications to let Sect Master take action personally?"
"You? You aren't really thinking that by comprehending the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art, you would be my match, right?" Qin Yan stood with his hands behind his back, with a face full of contempt.
So what if Ye Yuan comprehended true intent?
He likewise comprehended true intent. Furthermore, he was even almost a full major realm higher than Ye Yuan!
Such a great disparity in strength and this brat was actually thinking of defeating him?
Ye Yuan flashed a smile and said, "Give it a try then!"
"Such a wildly arrogant boy! Don't lose your life by trying!' Gu Tianyou said with a cold snort.
But Qin Yan said with a smile, "Interesting. I'll give you this opportunity!"
"Haha. It's still Eldest Senior Brother magnanimity that is big. I'm going to make a move! You receive it well! Nine Swords Return to One, Half-Moon Slash!"
Ye Yuan did not talk rubbish either, executing the Nine Swords Stance's Half-Moon Slash instantaneously!
Following Ye Yuan's breakthrough to the Sea Transformation Realm, his Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword became even stronger!
Regardless whether was it the Nine Swords Stance or the Thousand Flowing Petals, they all expended countless amounts of Ye Yuan's energy. The greater one's strength, the greater the might.
Back then, Ye Yuan used this one move to place the powerful Zhao Chenggan in a wretched plight. No matter how powerful this Qin Y
an's strength was, it could not be stronger than Zhao Chenggan's either.
Once Ye Yuan's move was unleashed, the smile on Qin Yan's face was instantly replaced with solemnness!
Not the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art!
When this brat was dealing with Li Junjie earlier, he was actually still holding back!
"Thousand Sword Nebulous!"
Qin Yan immediately put away his belittling heart, using an incomparably swift and fierce martial technique right away.
This Thousand Sword Nebulous move was an extremely powerful martial technique in the Myriad Sword Sect. Coupled with the Myriad Sword Sect's cultivation method, it was a top-notch sword move when placed in the Endless World too.
The Sea Transformation Realm Ye Yuan displaying the Half-Moon Slash was much stronger than it was in the Fierce Gale World previously!
The two attacks collided together instantly. Yet, the Half-Moon Slash breached Qin Yan's Thousand Sword Nebulous like crushing dried twigs!
Qin Yan's face changed, and he immediately unleashed his movement technique and dodged this attack.
"What?! Elder Senior Brother's Thousand Sword Nebulous actually lost when dueling swords!" Li Junjie nearly jumped up when he saw this scene.
"Eldest Senior Brother's Thousand Sword Nebulous, even the Heavenly Martial Sect's Guo Taoqun and the Profound Ice Sect's Yin Yanhua can't possibly resolve it so effortlessly, right?" An immense shock was seen in Gu Tianyou's eyes.
Qin Yan's expression at present was very nasty. He never could have imagined that Ye Yuan was actually formidable to this sort of degree!
Just now, if not for the Thousand Sword Nebulous offsetting a portion of the Half-Moon Slash's power, whether or not he could evade was another matter altogether!
"Ye Yuan! It's you who forced me! I still can't completely control this move with my present realm. Once this move is unleashed, be responsible for your own life and death!" Qin Yan's voice divulged an ice-cold intent.
Qin Yan pointed his sword at Ye Yuan. The single sword actually miraculously transformed into countless ones!
"Myriad Swords Return to Origin! Go to hell!"
Qin Yan did not have the composure from before anymore. His face even carried some ferociousness at this moment.
But at this time, Ye Yuan's Wind-Fire Violent Blaze Transforming Dragon similarly finished casting too. The colossal dragon roared as it swept over towards Qin Yan!
This massive dragon was incomparably powerful, instantly engulfing those sword figures clean!
But it was not over yet. The massive dragon hastened over towards Qin Yan.
With a rumble, Qin Yan's entire person was blasted flying out, collapsing weakly onto the ground.
"Eldest Senior Brother!" Gu Tianyou and Li Junjie shouted.
When they saw this scene, they were both greatly taken aback from shock and hurriedly went up to support Qin Yan.
The pair exchanged a glance, both feeling that it was beyond comprehension.
The undefeated Eldest Senior Brother in their eyes was actually defeated in the hands of an unknown brat!
"Relax. He won't die. I still need him to be a hostage!" Ye Yuan's indifferent voice came over.
Gu Tianyou and Li Junjie were both startled in their hearts. Their gaze when looking at Ye Yuan again was like they had seen a ghost.
This youth was seriously too scary!
"Y-Ye Yuan's strength is actually formidable to this extent already! Even I'm . . . probably not his match for certain either!" Luo Qingfeng and Skymaple exchanged glances at this time as well. The astonishment in their gazes was not the slightest bit less than the Myriad Sword Sect disciples.
Skymaple was very relieved. Stroking his beard, he said with a smile, "I'd long foreseen that there would be this day. But I never could have imagined that this day would arrive so quickly! For my Tranquil Cloud Sect to be able to obtain Ye Yuan, it's truly the heaven showing sympathy!"
"You all . . . Do you all really want to set yourselves against my Myriad Sword Sect?" Gu Tianyou's voice carried some quivering.
The reason why they dared to come was that they felt that they had the strength to preserve themselves.
But looking at it now, this sort of self-confidence was really a joke!
But Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "You all don't be mistaken. Elder Mei went to the Northern Domain to deliver news with good intentions but was detained by you people. This is you people forcing me. I don't wish to cross anybody for no reason."
Chapter 475. That Young Man, Isn't Simple! |
"You! Do you really dare to imprison Eldest Senior Brother for a puny little Sea Transformation Realm martial artist!"
Li Junjie felt rather incredulous. This Ye Yuan seemed hell-bent on opposing the Myriad Sword Sect.
This was simply something that could not be explained by reason!
There was actually somebody who dared to fall out with the Myriad Sword Sect!
Qin Yan's significance to the Myriad Sword Sect went without saying. If the Tranquil Cloud Sect dared to touch a hair of Qin Yan's, an apocalyptic calamity was definitely unavoidable.
Did this boy eat the wrong medicine?
Uhh . . . Seemed like he already harmed quite a few hairs.
Ye Yuan said coldly, "Puny little Sea Transformation Realm? Aren't you just a Sea Transformation Realm too? Moreover . . . your eldest senior brother might be very important in your eyes, but in my eyes, he isn't worth a fart! Elder Mei's life is way more important than his!"
As he said, Ye Yuan's aura pressed on and actually made Li Junjie and Gu Tianyou feel chilly.
In Ye Yuan's view, these few fellows clearly looked down on everybody snobbishly.
Mei Zhen might not be considered much in front of them. But to Ye Yuan, he was a very important senior.
Ye Yuan experienced hardships before rescuing Mei Zhen from the Fierce Gale World. He could not very well fall in the Myriad Sword Sect.
"Madman! You're a madman!" Li Junjie turned to Skymaple and Luo Qingfeng and said, "Could it be that you all want to go crazy together with this boy? If you all dare to detain Eldest Senior Brother today, you have to make the preparations of receiving the wrath of my Myriad Sword Sect! At that time, your Tranquil Cloud Sect will really not have fowls or dogs spared!"
Skymaple and Luo Qingfeng's expression both changed. This consequence, they really could not quite bear it!
Although Mei Zhen was important but compared to the entire sect . . .
However, Ye Yuan did not give them the opportunity to hesitate. He took a step forward and said with narrowed eyes, "Are you threatening me here?"
Li Junjie was taken aback by Ye Yuan's aura and actually took a step back instinctively.
But he reacted very quickly, and his face involuntarily reddened slightly.
I . . . What's with me? I'm actually frightened? I, a dignified Myriad Sword Sect's disciple, would actually fear this punk? A wave of shame hit in Li Junjie's heart.
However, he really had no confidence against Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan could even defeat Qin Yan. Defeating him was simply like lifting a finger.
"N-No, I . . . didn't . . . mean that." Li Junjie was even somewhat stammering when talking.
But Ye Yuan did not care. He took another step forward and said coldly, "Then what did you mean? En?"
"I was . . ." Li Junjie moved back again but just happened to trip over something, planting his bottom onto the ground.
"Humph! My Tranquil Cloud Sect sent people to the Northern Domain to notify your three great sects with public interests in mind, to warn you all to guard against the invasion of another world! Yet, you held a grudge and detained Elder Mai! If I don't keep a hostage today, Elder Mei would surely find it hard to die with peace of mind. The two of you head back today. If Elder Mei receives a trace of injury, I'll definitely make Qin Yan's life worse than death!" Ye Yuan said with a cold grunt.
Gu Tianyou and Li Junjie were forced by Ye Yuan's aura and actually mumble
d and did not dare to rebuke.
The main hall fell into a dead silence. Nobody dared to make a sound.
The Gu Tianyou pair stood there, unable to leave nor stay; it was very awkward.
Meanwhile, Skymaple and Luo Qingfeng and the rest actually felt very liberating in their hearts. During these more than thousand years, they withdrew and stood in the Southern Domain's land, living very aggrievedly.
Especially just now, Li Junjie actually used the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art to deal with Xiao Jian, making their dignity suffer tremendous devastation even more so.
Back then, the Myriad Sword Sect virtually annihilated the Tranquil Cloud Sect. The Tranquil Cloud Sect also greatly damaged their vitality in that battle. That was why they were unable to recover from the setback ever since.
Truthfully talking about it, the two sect's enmity could be said to be irreconcilable under the same sky!
But the problem was that the Myriad Sword Sect was one of the strongest three sects in the entire Endless World. The strength was too great!
A tiny sect like the Tranquil Cloud Sect simply could not afford to provoke!
They did not know how Ye Yuan had such tremendous gall to actually dare yank on the Myriad Sword Sect's whiskers.
However, through that fight earlier, Luo Qingfeng already had a clear realization that Ye Yuan's true combat strength was most likely no longer beneath his.
Furthermore, the entire Tranquil Cloud Sect was saved by Ye Yuan. Whatever Ye Yuan wanted to do now, they were willing to be the backup for Ye Yuan!
Right then, Ye Yuan's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he said icily, "Since some friends have arrived, why not show yourselves? If it spreads out, others might think that my Tranquil Cloud Sect doesn't know how to receive guests."
The expressions of Luo Qingfeng and the rest changed. Somebody snuck into the main hall, and they were actually completely oblivious!
A girl dressed in light-blue gauze floated down from the roof, making people feel like the temperature in the entire great hall suddenly fell by a few degrees.
