Yu Ming could not help recalling Ye Yuan’s appearance when he had just ascended. Seemed like it was this expression as well.
At that time, Yu Ming also thought that Ye Yuan would crumble with one hit. Who knew that Cheng Jiang himself was forced to submit.
If Ye Yuan’s alchemy skills were really so incredible, he was bound to be able to become a major figure that would cause a sensation in Ancient Opulence City in the future.
It was just that the Gu Family’s Eldest Miss’s illness, Yu Ming was aware about it. So many Alchemy Ancestor powerhouses were all at a loss on what to do. Could Ye Yuan do it?
If he enraged the Gu Family’s Family Head, this consequence . . .
To gamble or not?
“Elder Brother, let him try it! This little brother of mine is an Alchemy Path divine physician. Perhaps he can really do it? If there’s any problem, this Yu will shoulder it!” Yu Ming said this sentence at the behest of supernatural powers.
Ye Yuan gave Yu Ming a glance rather surprisedly but still did not make a sound.
“Haha, you shoulder it? Can you shoulder it? Oh, Little Yu, I didn’t think that you can be very cocky just because of me normally calling you as my younger brother. Once Family Head is enraged, even I can’t bear it. On what basis can you shoulder it? A snotty brat who doesn’t even have an alchemist badge, still Alchemy Path divine physician, drop it!” Gu Hong beat down without any consideration for feelings.
“You! Elder Brother’s words are a bit too insulting!” Yu Ming was angered until his face turned green.
Normally, he did not show a lack of ‘filial piety’ to Gu Hong. Who knew that this fellow was actually an ingrate. Not only was he of no use in a pinch, the words he said were even so infuriating.
“Heh, this is insulting? Oh, Little Yu, normally, I see that you’re quite an astute guy. Why are you pretending to be muddleheaded today? Calling you as my younger brother is on account of you being sensible. Do you really think that . . . you’re on equal footing with me?” Gu Hong’s tone gradually became cold, shocking Yu Ming.
Although Gu Hong was a servant, he was the Gu Family’s Head Steward. His authority was extremely great.
To really deal with a nobody like Yu Ming, that was too easy.
Right at this time, he suddenly felt someone pat his shoulder twice from behind. Turning his head around, it was actually Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a faint smile, “Big Brother Yu, let’s go. The humiliation that he gave you today, you’ll return to him tenfold another day!”
Gu Hong had never looked Ye Yuan right in the eye all along. Hearing Ye Yuan ‘talk wild drivel’ at this time, he burst into laughter and said, “Punk, not scared of the wind spraining your tongue when talking big?! In this Ancient Opulence City, people able to humiliate me, Gu Hong, there really are! However, that person definitely isn’t you!”
“Not me. It’s him.” Ye Yuan used his finger to point at Yu Ming.
Finished talking, Ye Yuan turned right around and left. Yu Ming’s expression flickered incessantly, gritted his teeth, and left with Ye Yuan.
While Gu Hong looked at Ye Yuan’s back view with a somber face and said with a cold sneer, “Heh, a punk who came from who knows where. Absurdly arrogant! To dare talk this way to this old man, really tired of living!”
. . . . . .
“Brother Ye, what should we do now?” Yu Ming caught up to Ye Yuan and asked.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Looks like I thought too simply of the matter! Since the Gu Family has this attitude, then let’s start from simple missions.”
“Uh . . . Which mission is simpler?”
Yu Ming knew that Ye Yuan took on seven to eight missions in one breath. He already knew the contents of these missions.
In his view, it seemed like not a single one was completed!
There were many alchemist missions. But there were quite a number of Alchemy Ancestors in the city. So missions that could be completed were definitely all completed already.
The remainder were basically all missions that these Alchemy Ancestors were unable to complete.
Missions like this, which one was easy?
Ye Yuan pondered for a moment and said, “This one!”
Yu Ming brought Ye Yuan to a residence east of the city anxious and doubtfully. The residence was not large, but it was very exquisite.
In Ancient Opulence City, to be able to own such a residence, their strength absolutely brooked no slighting.
“May I ask if Lord Jun Tianyu is there? We’re here for the mission that you issued!”
Yu Ming felt that his throat was somewhat parched. Because this Jun Tianyu was Ancient Opulence City’s number one swordsman, a Heaven Enlightenment Realm powerhouse!
This Jun Tianyu was Ancient Opulence City’s legend. Even City Lord, His Excellency, showed him some courtesy too.
Such a major figure, just stomping his feet could make the Ancient Opulence City tremble.
“The door isn’t locked. Enter yourselves,” a middle-aged man’s voice came over, seeming rather worn out.
When Ye Yuan heard that, he pushed the door directly and entered.
Yu Ming thought about it and followed inside too.
Ye Yuan passed through the main hall and directly entered the rear-manor. Lightly pushing open the door, a man in white garment was currently sitting by the bedside with a haggard face.
Although it was unintentional, the aura on the man’s body was incomparably powerful!
This man was clearly Jun Tianyu.
A woman lied on the bed. The woman was gaunt and thin and already on her deathbed.
Seeing Ye Yuan duo enter, the man’s brows could not help knitting slightly as he said unhappily, “Divine Traversing Realm? You’re the one who took on the mission?”
Yu Ming was wearing the City Lord Manor’s attire on him. Evidently, it was impossible to take on the mission. Then there was only this Divine Traversing Realm boy.
“Feeble breathing, divine soul dim; there are signs of her days being numbered. If Senior Jun has time to doubt if this Ye has the ability, better to let me diagnose first,” Ye Yuan said coolly.
Jun Tianyu’s body could not help shuddering slightly when he heard that, and he said, “Boy, don’t play games with me. Otherwise, you’ll die very horribly!”
These words were said with seething killing intent. But by the side, Yu Ming was quaking in his boots.
Don’t look at Jun Tianyu’s refined and elegant appearance. He made a name for himself through massacre.
Even though he already had not displayed his skills in front of people for some years, nobody thought that he was a harmless chap.
Indeed, the missions which Ye Yuan took on, not one was easy to deal with!
Thinking up to here, Yu Ming could not help breaking into a sweat with fright for Ye Yuan secretly. Of course, he also broke into cold sweat for his own life.
Ye Yuan sat by the bedside and started to read that woman’s pulse. Very soon, Ye Yuan’s brows started to furrow.
Jun Tianyu was already irritated to begin with. Seeing this scene, he could not help sneering in his heart.
Ye Yuan’s expression was exactly the same as the people who came in the past. Evidently, at a loss on what to do again.
The flames of fury in his heart currently had nowhere to vent, but there were those who did not fear death coming to deliver themselves to his house!
“I wonder, how many women does Senior Jun have?” Ye Yuan suddenly asked a sentence without rhyme or reason.
Chapter 716. Soul Miring Nightmare Curse |
The moment these words came out, the temperature in the house instantly fell several degrees.
Yu Ming was taken aback and hurriedly pulled Ye Yuan and said softly, “My Little Ancestor, don’t speak nonsense! Lord Jun was enraged to the extreme for a woman back then, killing until Ancient Opulence City was turned upside down, directly annihilating a large family clan! And that woman is precis
ely this one before your eyes!”
The sweat beads on Yu Ming were already dripping. Ye Yuan was simply touching the sore spot!
Jun Tianyu had two things he was most famed for in Ancient Opulence City. The first was that he killed people without batting an eye. And the second was his infatuation.
The meaning of Ye Yuan’s words earlier was saying that Jun Tianyu was fickle in love!
Wasn’t it deadly?
“Young man, are you here to intentionally make fun of this venerable? If that’s really the case, then your goal is achieved!” Jun Tianyu said icily.
Jun Tianyu was Ancient Opulence City’s illustrious Heaven Enlightenment Realm powerhouse. Killing these two in front of him was also something with a wave of his hand.
But Ye Yuan was seemingly oblivious as he said, “Don’t have huh . . . Then that’s odd. Which woman has such a huge enmity with you, to actually want to make you die with deep regrets even by throwing away her own life.”
Jun Tianyu’s eyebrows raised up, and he asked, ” En? What’s the meaning of your words?”
Ye Yuan said, “Madam Jun is inflicted with the Soul Miring Nightmare Curse. The caster curses the person they love to grow old and die alone with never entering samsara as the price! This sort of curse is exceedingly vicious. Furthermore, it’s a typical example of harming others without benefits. Under normal circumstances, those who cast this skill are all women who can’t obtain the person they love, giving birth to hatred as a result of love. Only then would they not stint to betray their own divine soul as the price and also had to make the other party not obtain true love.”
Jun Tianyu was shocked in his heart when he heard that. That imposing momentum earlier immediately vanished away into nothing.
“This . . . Do you have a basis on saying this?” Jun Tianyu asked.
“When Madam Jun’s illness just started, did she have nightmares every single day? Normally, she has no appetite for food, is listless, and seemingly unable to raise her spirits towards anything?” Ye Yuan asked.
With this, Jun Tianyu’s expression suddenly changed and he nodded his head and said, “That’s right, it’s precisely so! At first, Yiru didn’t pay attention to this. Who knew that the situation became increasingly serious. In the end, it got completely out of hand!”
“That’s right then! After this skill is cast, it will not show effect immediately but will incubate for around five to seven years. But once it erupts, it will be like floodwaters and fierce beasts, going out of control! Within a year, the person inflicted with the curse will be tormented by the divine soul to death! If my conjectures are correct, a significant event should have happened to Senior Jun six to seven years ago,” Ye Yuan said coolly.
Jun Tianyu had yet to speak when Yu Ming jumped up all at once. “Ah! Seven years ago, wasn’t it the day Senior Jun went on a killing spree, exterminating the Tao Family?”
Jun Tianyu’s expression changed drastically, and he fell back several steps in a row. He muttered under his breath, “This . . . This. . . No way, right? Could it be her?”
Jun Tianyu had an appearance like he was battered out of his sense. Clearly, Ye Yuan hit all of it on the mark!
It was just that Ye Yuan was somewhat doubtful. Looking at Jun Tianyu’s appearance, he did not look like those people who went around womanizing. Why would someone use this kind of method to deal with him?
“Looks like that legend is true!” Yu Ming also murmured.
Ye Yuan had a puzzled look and asked, “What legend?”
Yu Ming looked deeply at Ye Yuan, thinking to himself that this fellow was simply divine. Clearly, a martial artist who just ascended and he actually uttered over half of the sequence of events like he saw it with his own eyes by diagnosing a pulse.
But seeing Ye Yuan inquired, Yu Ming still said, “Ancient Opulence City originally didn’t have three great aristocratic families but four great aristocratic families. Lord Jun’s relationship with the Tao Family of the four great aristocratic families wasn’t bad. I heard that the Tao Family’s Eldest Miss was deeply in love with him. It’s just that no idea why, but Lord Jun’s relationship with the Tao Family deteriorated. The Tao Family even captured Lord Jun’s beloved wife away. Lord Jun husband and wife were very much in love, and he actually carried a sword and slaughtered his way to the Tao Family, overwhelmingly cutting down the Tao Family’s three Heaven Enlightenment Realm powerhouses! Ever since then, the Tao Family utterly declined, and the four great aristocratic families became three great aristocratic families. I heard that the Tao Family’s Eldest Miss died suddenly half a month later. Looking at it now . . .”
At this time, how could Yu Ming still doubt Ye Yuan’s ability?
This mission, Jun Tianyu had already advertised it for nearly half a year’s time. There were no less than five Alchemy Ancestor powerhouses who took on the mission successively, but they all returned in defeat.
The moment Ye Yuan made a move, he diagnosed the ins and outs of the matter clearly.
Such skill simply made those so-called Alchemy Ancestor powerhouses perspire from shame!
Rather, Ye Yuan also sighed unceasingly after listening to this story.
Even though Yu Ming did not know the details in it, some conjectures, the public probably knew long ago. It was just that due to Jun Tianyu’s domineeringness, Yu Ming did not dare to say explicitly.
Very clearly, Jun Tianyu discarded the Tao Family’s Eldest Miss after playing with her. In the end, it even made a major family clan decline. It was also no wonder that she wanted to use such a vicious curse.
Right at this time, a long sigh sounded out.
Jun Tianyu sighed and said, “The matter isn’t like what you all think! I only have familial affection towards Tao Queqiang and never had improper thoughts before! Nine years ago, she confessed to me. I rejected her on the spot. I was afraid that she would overthink, so I left to travel. It was also during that journey that I got acquainted with Yiru. From the first time I laid eyes on her, I fell completely in love with her and swore to spend all my life with her. After we got married, we became tired of a wandering life and returned to Ancient Opulence City to settle down. Who could have thought . . .”
Hearing this story, Ye Yuan immediately understood in his heart.
Turns out that it was an unrequited love, finally developing into a tragedy of mutual love and killing.
Presumably, it was that Tao Family who went overboard. Otherwise, they would also not have thoroughly infuriated Jun Tianyu this killing god.
It was just that the Tao Family’s Eldest Miss was truly a bit too willful and resolute. Jun Tianyu not taking a fancy to her had its reasons too.
“Master, I beg you to save Yiru! As long as you can save her, I can agree to any conditions! I originally thought that I can give Yiru happiness. Who knew that what I gave her was all pain!” Jun Tianyu had tears in his eyes, grabbing hold of Ye Yuan’s arm as he said agitatedly.
Unknowingly, Jun Tianyu even used ‘Master,’ this form of address.
By the side, Yu Ming was dazed from watching long ago!
He did not expect that the Jun Tianyu who killed people without batting an eye actually had such a soft and weak side too.
He also did not think that Ye Yuan’s Medicinal Dao was actually so superb, to actually be able to let the killing god-like Jun Tianyu beg with tears in his eyes.
At this moment, Yu Ming finally knew where the confidence of Ye Yuan saying that sentence to Gu Hong previously lie!
Thinking up to here, he unwittingly started to somewhat faintly look forward to it.
Looks like this wager was really gambled correct!
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Senior Jun husband and wife are deeply in love. How can this Ye bear to watch you guys be separated by life and death?”
Jun Tianyu trembled and said, “Master really has a way? Whatever instructions there are, Master feels free to say. Even if it’s a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, this Jun will also force m
y way in!”
“Huhu, Senior Jun is too serious. But this Soul Miring Nightmare Curse is indeed a little troublesome. I really do need to trouble Senior Jun to prepare some things,” Ye Yuan said with a smile.
Chapter 717. Favor |
“Quickly say, what do you need to prepare?” Jun Tianyu said agitatedly.
Ye Yuan casually took out a blank jade slip and engraved some names inside. Handing it to Jun Tianyu, he said, “These Tier 6 medicinal herbs are all necessary items. Additionally, I still require a kind of core medicine named Cleansing Water Flower. It might not be too easy to find.”
“Cleansing Water Flower? It’s really a coincidence! The last time I invited Master Yi Dan over, he used a medicinal pill refined using Cleansing Water Flower. But sadly, it didn’t have any effect on Yiru at all. I’ll go and find him and ask if he still has Cleansing Water Flowers there or not! This brother, I’ll have to trouble you to make a trip to Golden Cauldron Tower and help me buy these medicinal herbs back. Rest assured, the merit points spent, I’ll return to you double.”
Jun Tianyu’s latter half of the sentence was said to Yu Ming.
Yu Ming hurriedly said, “Dare not, dare not. To serve Lord Jun, it’s this lowly one’s honor!”
Before today, Yu Ming never would have dreamed that a major figure like Jun Tianyu would actually address him with great familiarity!
To an unimportant person like him, this was an immense honor.
Compared to this, what did running an errand count as?
Yu Ming received the jade slip from Ye Yuan’s hands and took his leave right away.
“Master Ye, I’ll go make a trip. My wife will have to trouble you to take care,” Jun Tianyu said.
Ye Yuan said, “Senior Jun just go ahead. Just nice, I’ll make use of this bit of time to carry out a set of acupuncture therapy for Madam Jun. She’s too weak and needs to recover some vitality.”
Jun Tianyu was overjoyed when he heard that and said, “Then I’ll have to trouble master!”
Finished talking, Jun Tianyu’s figure flashed, vanishing from sight directly.
