At this moment, it was as if the whole world froze.
A fierce wind swept up waves of snowflakes, attempting to stop Ji Canglan’s advancement.
It was very strange, those delicate snowflakes actually made Ji Canglan’s speed fall sharply. In the end, he was actually unable to advance an inch forward anymore.
A lithe and graceful figure appeared in the wind and snow. Only to see her beckon with a hand. Countless flurries of snow formed an ice bed below Ye Yuan’s body, letting Ye Yuan land slowly.
This woman was exceedingly cold and gorgeous as if she was an ice mountain. But her unparalleled looks virtually made all women turn colorless!
“Ji Canglan, I won’t let you kill him a second time!” The woman’s words were nonchalant but revealed determination.
Ji Canglan put away his sword and stood there, but thought nothing of this cold and beautiful to the extreme woman in front of him.
“Since Lingxue came forward, I’ll let him off today. However, you have to watch Little Junior Brother closely. Next time, he won’t be so lucky!”
“Next time, he’ll definitely kill you!” Spirit Snow Divine King said coldly.
This woman was actually the one known as the number one beauty in the Divine Realm, Spirit Snow Divine King, Mu Lingxue! Her sudden appearance finally resolved Ye Yuan’s predicament.
Ji Canglan smiled but declined to comment. His figure moved and vanished from sight.
The moment Ji Canglan left, the Medicine King Hall’s other experts also left one after another.
The White Tiger Clan suffered heavy casualties. At this point, they were completely powerless to stop the departure of the Medicine King Hall’s experts.
Spirit Snow Divine King looked at the Ye Yuan lying on the ground. A hint of tenderness flickered across her gaze.
The Divine Realm’s number one beauty, Spirit Snow Divine King, probably only when facing him, would she revealed this hint of tenderness, right?
“I chased after Ji Canglan until here, didn’t expect that I actually ran into you! Since you came back to the Divine Realm, why didn’t you come and look for me?”
Spirit Snow Divine King muttered to herself, but two clear rows of tears flowed down from her eyes.
…
After the great battle, the White Tiger Clan was in a state of ruin. The losses were immense.
When Ye Yuan woke up, it was already ten days later.
The current Ye Yuan was incomparably frail. It was as if his entire person was drained dry.
He heard from Li-er about the matters after he fell unconscious. Ye Yuan never would have dreamed that he was actually saved by Mu Lingxue in the end.
After Ji Canglan left, Mu Lingxue also left immediately.
“Lingxue still hates me!” Ye Yuan said with a bitter smile.
“The Spirit Snow Divine King she … should still be in love with Big Brother Yuan, right? Otherwise, how could she possibly take action to rescue you? Furthermore, the timing she showed up was so coincidental. Most likely, she has constantly been paying attention to Ji Canglan’s movements too. This indicates that she might have been thinking of avenging you all along!” Li-er hesitated for a bit but still said it in the end.
Towards the Spirit Snow Divine King, Li-er’s feelings were very complicated too.
But she would not become jealous like the average girl. On the contrary, she even harbored some remorse towards the Spirit Snow Divine King.
On that day, Ye Yuan locked Li-er and White Light inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda and did not give them the chance to come out at all. They were very anxious inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda but completely could not do anything.
Hearing Li-er’s words, Ye Yuan also did not know what he should say.
Previous life, Ji Qingyun looked down upon the Divine Realm, his status was incomparably revered. Only romance this word, he left behind this regret.
Reviving, Ye Yuan got together with Li-er at the behest of supernatural powers. This could not be said to not be destiny making a fool of men.
When Ye Yuan came back to his senses, he noticed that Li-er’s expression was rather odd, and asked, “Li-er, if there’s anything you want to say, just say it. Between you and I, do we still need to make distinctions?”
Li-er suddenly lowered her head and used a mosquito-like voice to say softly, “Big Brother Yuan, actually … Li-er doesn’t mind.”
Ye Yuan froze, and laughed in spite of himself and said, “You lass, what are you saying? It’s still more of a debt towards Lingxue. Sigh, this favor, it will probably be hard to pay off for a lifetime!”
Li-er was delighted in her heart. But had an additional trace of loss.
Ye Yuan valued relationships the most. He himself already said that Spirit Snow Divine King’s favor could not be repaid for life.
How could this entanglement be that easy to sort out?
The hardest to pay off in this world was a debt of love.
Furthermore, Ye Yuan’s feelings towards Mu Lingxue, most likely even he himself was unable to say clearly, right?
“Big Brother, you finally woke up!” Right then, White Light’s voice suddenly sounded out, interrupting the two people’s thoughts.
Ye Yuan looked over and saw White Light left Head Elder Rong Kun over.
When Rong Kun saw Ye Yuan, he also cupped his fists and said, “Younger Brother Ji finally woke up. If Younger Brother had a mishap, my White Tiger Clan would really have wronged Your Excellency.”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Head Elder, it is best to call me Ye Yuan. Ji Qingyun is already a bygone.”
Rong Kun was startled in his heart but still said, “Huhu, Younger Brother Ye lost too much blood essence in order to unleash the Sacred Dragon Token this time. The clan has already prepared many blood essence recovering spirit medicines for Younger Brother. This time, this old man brought it over at the same time.”
Ye Yuan clasped his hands and said, “Then Ye Yuan will accept it respectfully. Thank you very much, Head Elder.”
“What’s Younger Brother Ye talking about. This time, if not for you, our White Tiger Clan would have already utterly disappeared from the Divine Realm. Want to thank, it also has to be this old man who says it to you.” Rong Kun waved his hand and said.
Talking about this, Ye Yuan’s expression darkened as well and said, “Ji Canglan locked on the target on the White Tiger Clan this time. What he’s plotting is most likely not small. Furthermore, according to what I know, there isn’t the Heaven Imprisoning Spirit Locking Flask, this grade of divine artifact, in the Medicine King Hall at all. I feel that there’s likely someone currently brewing a tremendous conspiracy in the Divine Realm!”
Rong Kun also nodded when he heard that and said, “What Patriarch Rong Xiao is worried about is also this! Ji Canglan knows about my White Tiger Clan like the palm of his own hand. Even an existence on the level of the white tiger spirit, he’s also aware. The operation this time, he has likely prepared for a long time already. Patriarch already informed the other three clan patriarchs of the four symbols family clans to let them be more careful. My White Tiger Clan having traitors, it’s hard to ensure that the other three clans don’t have traitors.”
Ye Yuan nodded his head and could not help falling silent.
At present, the Divine Realm was endlessly turbulent. That enormous hand at the back seemed to have already gradually revealed its fangs.
The Medicine King Hall openly making a move against the White Tiger Clan this time, regardless of success or failure, it would shock the entire Divine Realm.
Existences on the level of super holy lands always stayed low and restrained. It was already uncertain how many years it had been since such a large-scale divine king battle had been instigated before.
Through this incident, the Medicine King Hall’s ambition was also laid completely bare!
Chapter 1011. Sacred Dragon Token's Master |
Chatting idly for a couple more sentences, Rong Kun actually became somewh
at evasive when talking.
Ye Yuan knew that he definitely had some words too hard to speak up. Hence, he said, “Whatever words Head Elder has, just be straight with it.”
Rong Kun appeared slightly embarrassed as he said, “Haha, Younger Brother Ye, the incident this time was stirred up so big, many things can’t be concealed anymore either. It’s fine that you’re bearing the dragon race’s bloodline, it’s just that this Sacred Dragon Token …”
The moment Ye Yuan heard, he understood, and opened his mouth to ask, “Someone came from the dragon clan?”
Rong Kun nodded his head and said, “The Azure Dragon Clan’s Head Elder, Long Zaitian, personally brought people and came over. But Patriarch Rong Xiao blocked them first with Younger Brother Ye’s body not being recovered as the reason. It’s just that this Sacred Dragon Token is of utmost importance, they likely won’t be willing to leave the matter at that.”
The dragon clan’s supreme divine artifact, Sacred Dragon Token, was lost for over 100 thousand years. Now that it re-appeared in the Divine Realm, it was impossible for the dragon clan to not have any indication at all.
Such a treasure being left behind outside was a joke to the dragon clan in the first place.
Now that they knew that the Sacred Dragon Token was in Ye Yuan’s hands, they would think of ways to get it back no matter what.
Currently, there was the White Tiger Clan blocking. The dragon clan might still say a couple of nice words. If Ye Yuan was not willing to hand it over, they would definitely resort to martial strength in the end too.
Ye Yuan thought about it and said, “Looks like this trip to the dragon clan is a must. Forget it, make a trip then. It’s also time for Senior Long Teng and the dragon clan’s grudge to be resolved.”
Although Long Teng had never talked with him about his history before, Ye Yuan was also more or less able to guess a little.
Even though as long as 50 thousand years had passed, some knots of the heart, Long Teng likely still could not put it down.
Hearing that Ye Yuan agreed to go to the dragon clan, Rong Kun also heaved a sigh in relief.
The White Tiger Clan was currently already in a precarious situation. If Ye Yuan was not willing to go to the dragon clan, the White Tiger Clan definitely could not look on with folded arms either. At that time, they would fall into a dilemma.
“Younger Brother Ye, rest assured, going to the dragon clan this time, this old man will travel together with you. If any of them dare to touch you, they must step over this old man’s dead body!” Rong Kun patted his chest and said.
Ye Yuan clasped his hands and said with a smile, “Then I’ll have to trouble Head Elder!”
Ye Yuan knew that Rong Kun accompanying him on the trip was likely that the White Tiger Clan had long discussed it already. Therefore, he did not turn it down either.
Presently, Ye Yuan was the entire White Tiger Clan’s benefactor. They were unable to fight to the bitter end with the dragon clan, and could only do it to this sort of extent.
…
After chatting with White Light for a while, Ye Yuan started closed-seclusion to recuperate.
He had indeed expended too much this time. If he did not have a solid foundation, he might even have directly croaked.
He first withstood his own late-stage spirit rank Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm, and was already badly wounded. Next, he had 25% of his blood essence extracted by the Sacred Dragon Token, nearly draining him into a human jerky.
This degree of injury was virtually too far gone for many martial artists.
Even if their wounds healed, their martial Dao foundation was basically wasted too.
But this did not count for anything to Ye Yuan.
A super faction like the White Tiger Clan, their spirit medicine reserves were very abundant. He only needed to recuperate his injuries and refine some blood essence recovering medicinal pills would do.
It was a little slow, but it was still not to the extent that it would take his life.
After an appropriate amount of rest, Ye Yuan finally fully recovered his strength. And in this period of time, Ye Yuan also broke through quite a few cultivation realms in succession, directly reaching peak Phaseless Realm already.
This was entirely the sequela from him forcefully stimulating the primeval dragon bone. Plus this one month’s time, he ate countless spirit medicines. Hence, his cultivation realm could not be stopped anymore as well, jumping up three levels.
Obtaining Rong Kun’s answer, the dragon clan’s Long Zaitian did not interrupt Ye Yuan as well, and actually reined in his impatience and waited for him for a month’s time.
Presumably, this was also looking on account of the White Tiger Clan’s face.
A month later, Ye Yuan left seclusion but saw an old friend.
The Black Dragon Clan’s patriarch, Ao Lin!
The Black Dragon Clan’s standing among the Azure Dragon Clan was identical with the Crimsonflame Clan’s status in the White Tiger Clan, belonging to one of the most powerful branches.
Ao Lin had requested medicinal pills from Ye Yuan before. With this to and fro, the two people became very close friends.
Ye Yuan’s understanding of the dragon clan was also mostly through Ao Lin.
When Ao Lin saw Ye Yuan, he said emotionally, “Oh, Younger Brother, back then when I heard of your demise, Elder Brother, I, had no appetite for food and drinks for several months, and had no mood to cultivate as well. Hearing your news this time, Elder Brother repeatedly pleaded with Patriarch to definitely make a trip with Head Elder.”
Ye Yuan smashed a fist on his chest and said with a smile, “At least you, this old fellow, have some conscience! But coming this time, it isn’t with good intentions!”
Ao Lin’s expression turned slightly stiff and was rather embarrassed.
Him coming this time, saying it a bit nicely was to invite Ye Yuan back. Saying it nastily was to abduct Ye Yuan back. His identity was also very awkward.
“Younger Brother, I … ” Ao Lin said embarrassedly.
Ye Yuan sniggered and said, “You old punk, still the same ol’ honest blockhead! Just cracking a joke, you even took it seriously!”
Ao Lin this person was a very inflexible person. But was also rather loyal to friends; suited Ye Yuan’s temperament very much.
In his previous life, Ye Yuan did not like to play those little tricks. Therefore, he liked to make friends with straightforward people. This Ao Lin was one of them.
Ye Yuan helped Ao Lin with a great favor back then. This Ao Lin was naturally endlessly grateful towards Ye Yuan.
It was just that now, things were still the same, but the people were no longer the same. When Ao Lin saw Ye Yuan’s appearance, he could not help sighing deeply as he said, “Many years of not seeing, didn’t expect that Younger Brother, you … actually took on this appearance!”
Ye Yuan said smilingly, “What’s bad about this? To me, it might not be a bad thing! Head Elder, I still have some matters to attend to in the White Tiger Clan. I’ll travel together with you all to the dragon clan tomorrow, is it alright?”
Long Zaitian already waited for a month, he naturally did not care about this one day either, and there obviously was no reason to not permit it. He could only open his mouth and say, “Master Qingyun Zi, this Sacred Dragon Token … could you lend it to this old man for a look?”
Ye Yuan smiled slightly and said, “Of course there’s no problem.”
Done talking, Ye Yuan directly took out the fire rod-like Sacred Dragon Token. The dragon pressure emitting off of the Sacred Dragon Token made Long Zaitian and co. all feel waves of terror.
Ye Yuan was not afraid of Long Zaitian stealing it either and directly threw it to him.
The Sacred Dragon Token already acknowledged him as its master. Unless Long Zaitian killed him, otherwise, even if he had the Sacred Dragon Token, he was unable to use it too.
And Rong Kun was present as well. This place was the White Tiger Cla
n’s territory too. Even if Long Zaitian was loaned two hands, he could not kill him either.
Long Zaitian lightly caressed the Sacred Dragon Token, like he was stroking his own lover, unable to take his hands of it.
“Over a hundred thousand years already! The Sacred Dragon Token was lost for a full 100 over thousand years! This time, it finally returned to the dragon clan!” Long Zaitian said with vicissitudes of emotion.
The meaning in his words was like Ye Yuan already agreed to return the Sacred Dragon Token.
But how was this possible?
In this world, nobody would hand over a divine artifact so casually to others, right?
Even Ye Yuan could not do it either.
Ye Yuan said with a smile, “Head Elder had best stop dreaming. The Sacred Dragon Token, I won’t return to the dragon clan! Right now, I’m the Sacred Dragon Token’s master!”
Chapter 1012. Not happy, Suck It Up |
Done talking, Ye Yuan silently recited an incantation. The Sacred Dragon Token actually directly broke free of the palm of Long Zaitian’s hands and returned to Ye Yuan’s hands.
Long Zaitian’s face turned black. The originally amicable atmosphere was immediately utterly ruined.
“Ji Qingyun, I call you Qingyun Zi, doesn’t meant that you can treat the dragon clan anyhow you please! Disregarding that you’re currently all alone in the world, even when you were still the Medicine King Hall’s young lord back then, my dragon clan will also have to retrieve this Sacred Dragon Token! This Sacred Dragon Token, you got to hand it over whether you want to or not!” Long Zaitian said in a solemn voice.
But Ye Yuan was not annoyed in the slightest. Instead, he said with a faint smile, “If I didn’t remember wrongly, regarding this Sacred Dragon Token, the dragon clan seems to have a rule, right?”
Long Zaitian could not help choking up. Only now did he recall that rule.
The person able to make the Sacred Dragon Token acknowledge as its master was the leader of the dragon clan!
Just now, Ye Yuan summoned back the Sacred Dragon Token effortlessly. Clearly, the Sacred Dragon Token had already acknowledged him as master. That was to say that Ye Yuan was currently the lord of the dragon clan!
