Hence, the Sky Foothill Divine Palace refined the Tianlu Shrine in order to make these people reveal everything.
This Tianlu Shrine was said to be a celestial divine artifact refined by a peak Three-star Artifact God, containing a portion of Sky Foothill Heavenly Dao’s oppression.
As long as one activated the Tianlu Shrine and intruders drew near within a certain range, it would automatically have a response and attack the other party!
Even if your concealment means were heaven-defying and able to hide from the Tianlu Shrine’s response, as long as you drip a drop of fresh blood in, it could sense it too!
“According to what I know, there are already no less than several hundred trial-takers who have died under the Tianlu Shrine! Lord Ye Yuan, you’d best leave!” Mo Yun also urged bitterly.
Ye Yuan also clicked his tongue in wonder when he heard. This artifact refining ability was truly impressive, to actually be able to integrate a trace of Heavenly Dao into the divine artifact.
This artificer’s means were really impressive.
After listening to these, Ye Yuan smiled lightly and said, “I said before, for the sake of the Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stone, I’ll do whatever it takes! You guys rest assured, if I really can’t hide from the Tianlu Shrine’s investigation, I won’t implicate you all either!”
The moment Bai Chen heard, he was indignant and said angrily, “Master Ye Yuan, what are you saying?! This life of mine was given by you, would I still be scared of you implicating? It’s just that this Tianlu Shrine is truly too formidable. I’m afraid …”
One could tell that Bai Chen was really worried about Ye Yuan’s safety.
If he really was found out, even if this Azurepeak could not make Ye Yuan stay, it would also be very hard for Ye Yuan to escape the Sky Foothill World.
Ye Yuan smiled and patted Bai Chen’s shoulder, and slowly left.
…
Azurepeak abruptly opened both eyes and suddenly sat up in shock.
“Argh! Pain … So painful!”
Green veins throbbed on Azurepeak’s forehead, instantly breaking out into cold sweat.
Waves of heart-piercing pain seemingly spread throughout his entire body like an uninterrupted electric current.
Slam!
Azurepeak directly rolled off the bed and tumbled about on the ground in agony. He could not even emit a cry for help.
Those few kicks of Ye Yuan seemed ordinary and bland. Actually, each kick was very particular.
One should not look at what Ye Yuan’s background was. In fact, he was too familiar with the acupoints on a martial artist’s body.
With the physical body toughness of Deity Realm powerhouses, those few kicks did not leave any hidden injuries on his body. It just released his backlash injuries to the greatest extent.
Now, the moment he was awake, this pain instantly erupted, making him suffer for quite a while.
The current Azurepeak was curled up on the ground, his body twitching non-stop, looking incomparably miserable.
[1] Butt clench.
Chapter 1431. Testing Blood |
No idea how long had passed either, the pain finally subsided. Azurepeak’s four limbs finally recovered some mobility.
However, he only barely managed to stand up after trying for a long time.
His entire person seemed to be drained, without a trace of strength from head to foot.
During this long time, he maintained clarity of his consciousness from start to end but was utterly helpless.
Every hint of pain on his body was transmitted into his brain clearly, like tidewater; without break.
Azurepeak very much wanted to faint, but he discovered to his dismay that he could not do it at all!
This period of time was simply even worse than death!
“Damn White Night Sacred Palace! If I discover that Ye Yuan is an intruder, I’ll definitely not spare even the chickens and dogs!” Azurepeak gnashed his teeth and said in hatred.
At this time, Bai Xiu’s voice sounded out from outside the door.
“Has Lord Azurepeak rested well? Palace lord and Grand Elder have made this lowly one come and invite Lord Divine Envoy to the great hall.”
Huo …
The door was opened violently from the inside. Azurepeak’s face was sullen until water was virtually about to drip out.
Rest?
That was called rest just now?
He was hurting until he was practically about to commit suicide just now, you guys actually said that it was resting!
Azurepeak wanted to kill people right now!
He really wanted to kill people!
“What’s with Lord Azurepeak? Could it be that you’re blaming our White Night Sacred Palace for the poor reception? Lord Divine Envoy suffered the backlash force and injured the internal organs. Grand Elder said that he helped Lord Divine Envoy purge the hidden injuries with a special technique, there’s absolutely no sequela. Could it be that … Grand Elder he didn’t cure Lord Divine Envoy’s hidden injuries?” Bai Xiu pretended to be surprised.
Azurepeak was just about to flare up when he suddenly frowned.
He viewed internally and discovered that the internal injuries he suffered because of the backlash force were indeed already cured. The meridians in his whole body were unobstructed and actually had a refreshing feeling!
This discovery made his expression ease up slightly.
Could it be that … that Ye Yuan really treated him?
Recalling that palm of his, the backlash force was indeed not small. It would likely leave behind considerable hidden injuries.
Now, the injuries were completely healed. Clearly, he had obtained treatment.
It was just that this treatment … was a little too painful, right?
“Mn, the hidden injuries are already healed! Lead the way!” Azurepeak said coldly.
This Azurepeak, as a divine envoy, was clearly an extremely prideful person.
Since the other party was really treating him, he did not wish to let the other party know such a deplorable side of him.
Bai Xiu already had flowers bloom in his heart long ago. If he was not in front of Azurepeak, he would practically be laughing until he rolled on the ground.
But Bai Xiu was not Bai Chen that sort of little chap. He was in a high position all year round. His shrewdness was rather deep.
He did not show the slightest hint of emotion on the surface.
Ye Yuan invited him to watch a good show. That scene of Azurepeak rolling about on the ground in pain previously, he saw it all clearly outside the window.
How smart was Bai Xiu? He knew that it was Ye Yuan’s underhanded trick done in secret.
Originally, he was still apprehensive, worried that Azurepeak would utterly rampage after coming out.
But when he said it according to the words Ye Yuan taught him, he discovered that Azurepeak’s complexion immediately became much better.
Just as Ye Yuan said, not only would he not blame, he would even be secretly grateful in his heart.
Currently, he was simply prostrating on all fours in admiration toward this grand elder.
Azurepeak sucking in cold air while on the ground in pain, he heard it clearly outside.
To be able to make a grand completion Heaven Glimpse powerhouse agonized until he wished he was dead, that pain could be imagined.
Heh!
Not only did he not assign blame, but his reaction was also really calm and smooth!
This method, probably only Grand Elder, this kind of figure, could accomplish it, right?
…
Coming to the great hall, Ye Yuan greeted with a smile and said with clasped hands, “White Night Sacred Palace’s grand elder, Ye Yuan, respectfully welcomes Lord Divine Envoy! Previously, this Ye Yuan was in closed-seclusion, resulting in slighting Lord Divine Envoy. Truly sorry! This Ye apologizes and asks Lord Divine Envoy for punishment!”
Ye Yuan’s attitude was very sincere like he was real
ly going to bow down.
Azurepeak hurriedly supported his arm and said coolly, “No need!”
Ye Yuan said joyfully, “Lord Divine Envoy is indeed an exalted envoy, with a broad breadth of mind! Oh, right, the cultivation method that this Ye cultivates is rather peculiar. Once somebody draws near, there will be an extremely powerful backlash force, resulting in accidentally injuring Your Excellency. This Ye is truly guilty and deserves ten thousand deaths! Fortunately, this Ye has some unique methods and helped Lord Divine Envoy open up the meridians, relieving the hidden injuries. This method is a bit painful, but the effects are very good. I wonder if Your Excellency still has ailments now?”
Azurepeak’s muscles twitched slightly. It was more than a bit painful. It was simply painful until he wished to die!
However, the effects were really good!
Otherwise, if he went back to report completion of the mission with hidden injuries, he really had no idea how he would be laughed at.
“Mn, it’s already well!” Azurepeak still said coolly.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Then that’s good! Since Lord Divine Envoy already arrived, then let’s get down to business first! This Ye was just a reclusive cultivator previously, how am I some intruder? Some people like to cause trouble by spreading rumors, truly detestable!”
Seeing Ye Yuan so calm, Azurepeak unwittingly really started to somewhat doubt it in his heart.
Although this rumor started from god knows where, without a doubt, the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace’s suspicions were the greatest.
But, as long as there was a trace of possibility, the Sky Foothill Divine Palace would not let it go either.
Furthermore, such an expert suddenly emerged, how could they possibly not be careful?
“Whether or not it’s a rumor, we’ll know after testing!” Azurepeak still continued his indifferent style.
Finished talking, Azurepeak slightly formed a seal. A box-sized shrine rested on his palm.
Ye Yuan was currently in a position of face-to-face with Azurepeak. This distance, if the Tianlu Shrine had a response, it should have long unleashed an attack.
But the Tianlu Shrine did not have any movements at all!
Seeing this scene, everyone in the White Night Sacred Palace all heaved a long sigh in relief.
“Like I said, how can Grand Elder possibly be an intruder?”
“It must be the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace, that bunch of bastards! After the miserable defeat this time, they harbored hatred in their hearts and deliberately fabricated rumors!”
“Damn Autumn Rain Sacred Palace, we are not done with them!”
…
The White Night Sacred Palace’s powerhouses all pointed the spearheads at the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace, obviously thinking that this was their idea.
However, the worry of Bai Chen and Mo Yun, in the two person’s hearts, did not disappear at this point.
After all, the most crucial part of the Tianlu Shrine was still the blood test this checkpoint!
Sure enough, Azurepeak said coolly, “The aura on the surface can be disguised. But, the Heavenly Dao laws contained in the martial artist’s blood cannot be disguised! Elder Ye, please!”
A martial artist’s growth was the process of absorbing heaven and earth spiritual energy.
During this process, one would naturally bring the aura of Heavenly Dao into their own blood too.
Hence, verifying a martial artist’s identity, the most reliable was still blood!
When Mo Yun and Bai Chen duo heard this, their hearts leaped to their throats.
The rest also stopped the din, looking towards Ye Yuan with unmoving eyes.
The instances of finding out using blood were not few!
Ye Yuan smiled slightly and did not hesitate either.
Only to see a cold light flash. Ye Yuan’s finger had a gash added to it.
Drip!
A drop of fresh blood flowed down the fingertip and dripped into the Tianlu Shrine.
Everyone’s breathing all became ragged!
Chapter 1432. Addressing as Brothers Swish! |
Swish!
All of a sudden, the Tianlu Shrine burst forth with a dazzling golden light, shining until everyone could not open their eyes.
Azurepeak’s expression turned sharp, his deadpan face finally revealed a surprised expression.
“This … This is …”
It was also the group of White Night powerhouses’ first time seeing the Tianlu Shrine and they did not know what this golden light represented.
Bai Chen could not resist asking, “Lord Divine Envoy, what … what does this golden light represent? Is Grand Elder … an intruder or not?”
Azurepeak’s expression turned cold and he said solemnly, “Intruder my ass! The guy who spread this rumor will die a horrible death! Elder Ye is pure until he cannot be purer Sky Foothill martial artist!”
Everyone was first stunned, and immediately revealed a look of great joy.
Since Azurepeak said so, then it was impossible for Ye Yuan to be some intruder anymore!
The shock in Bai Chen’s heart could not be any greater. He looked at Ye Yuan in disbelief.
Ye Yuan just smiled slightly, giving him a calm look.
Except, the elation on Bai Chen’s face, at this time he did not need to act at all.
This result, he was really too surprised!
Only he and Mo Yun two people knew best. Master Ye Yuan was absolutely an outside trial-taker.
But just what method he used, to actually even outsmart the Tianlu Shrine?
One had to know that all of the outside world’s trial-takers, even grand completion Heaven Glimpse trial-takers, could not escape the Tianlu Shrine’s verification!
Yet, only Ye Yuan did it!
This kind of ability was simply inconceivable.
To be able to change the exterior aura and hide from the Tianlu Shrine’s investigation, this was not anything impressive.
But the blood in a martial artist’s body, how did one change the aura to hide from the Tianlu Shrine’s investigation?
He naturally did not know that Ye Yuan did not use some secret art to conceal the aura in his body, but simulated the Sky Foothill Heavenly Dao’s aura with the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain.
This kind of imitation was not on the surface, but fused into every inch of the skin on his body, including the blood!
Forget about a measly little Tianlu Shrine, even the real Heavenly Dao could not distinguish it!
Bai Chen discovered that this master he acknowledged was simply an omnipotent god!
It seemed like there was nothing he could not do!
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Seems like this Ye Yuan’s identity shouldn’t have anything worth suspecting, right?”
At this time, Azurepeak’s face actually squeezed out a hint of a smile and said to Ye Yuan with clasped hands, “Elder Ye, I’ve given offense previously! But Azurepeak is here under orders and didn’t have the intention of being hard on the White Night Sacred Palace. Please excuse me.”
The moment these words came out, White Night’s group virtually did not dare to believe their own ears.
Such a proud Divine Envoy Azurepeak was actually so courteous to Ye Yuan?
This … This was not logical!
It seemed like the issue lay with that golden light.
It was just that, no idea what that golden light represented.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “What’s Lord Divine Envoy saying here? You’re a divine envoy, representing the paramount Sky Foothill Divine Palace. To be able to welcome Lord Azurepeak is our White Night Sacred Palace’s honor!”
Azurepeak suddenly felt that this Ye Yuan looked so pleasing to the eye.
“Don’t keep calling Lord Divine Envoy, I’m a few years older than you, just call me Big Brother Azurepeak!” Azurepeak said with a laugh.
Ye Yuan did not stand on ceremony either and said with a smile, “Big Brother Azurepeak!”
The two
people exchanged glances and smiles, writing off all enmity.
“Alright, this matter is settled, I’ll also have to go back to report on completion of the mission!” Azurepeak said with clasped hands.
“Since that’s the case, I won’t hold Big Brother Azurepeak back anymore. Take care!” Ye Yuan also clasped his hands and said.
Azurepeak bade farewell to everyone. When he turned around and left, he said with vicissitudes of emotion, “This child is actually able to trigger the Tianlu Shrine’s golden light, indicating that he has grasped the complete Sky Foothill laws. No wonder his strength is so powerful! This child’s future is limitless and is bound to enter the Sky Foothill Divine Palace in the future! Building good relations with him might be beneficial to me in the future.”
Finished talking, his figure flashed, disappearing from where he was.
In the White Night Sacred Palace, everyone finally truly relaxed.
“That golden light is definitely remarkable! You all didn’t see Lord Azurepeak’s expression It changed at that time!”
“Heh heh, Grand Elder actually addressed Lord Divine Envoy as his brother. Let me see if the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace, that bunch of trash, still dares to be arrogant!”
“The Autumn Rain Sacred Palace, that bunch of trash, used this kind of despicable method to disgust us when they can’t beat us. Truly too abominable!”
“One of these days, we’ll exterminate that bunch of grandsons!”
…
Everyone tried to get a word in, but Ye Yuan fell into contemplation.
Was it really a stumbling block done by the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace? Afraid not! Ye Yuan thought.
…
“What did you say? The divine palace’s divine envoy went to the White Night Sacred Palace and then left just like that?”
When Qin Tian heard this news, he nearly jumped up.
No, wait, should be almost spilled the beans.
“Yes, Palace Lord! Somebody saw that when Ye Yuan saw the divine envoy out, they addressed each other as brothers, their relationship appearing rather good,” that subordinate said.
A mouthful of coagulated blood in Qin Tian’s chest nearly spewed out.
He forcefully suppressed that mouthful of coagulated blood and said coldly, “Alright, it looks like it was this palace lord who made a mistake. Withdraw, continue keeping a close watch for me!”
