"Alright, the restrictions on your bodies are already removed. From now on, you're all free. Past matters are over. You all return to samsara then!" Ye Yuan said coolly.
Ye Yuan knew that these girls were all people with stories. But such a long time had already passed. The person who trapped them back then had probably returned to the earth as well now.
But Qin Meixuan shook her head and said, "Young Master, us sisters have already discussed just now. We've decided to not enter samsara!"
Ye Yuan's brows furrowed when he heard that and said, "I saved you all, is because I feel that you're all people with bitter fates. Though there are abominable matters, there are also some pitiable areas. If you guys refuse to come to your senses, then I can't be blamed!"
Qin Meixuan was greatly alarmed when she heard that and shook her head repeatedly as she said, "Young Master is mistaken! My meaning is that us sisters want to follow by Young Master's side and serve Young Master!"
Seemingly afraid of Ye Yuan refusing, Qin Meixuan hurriedly said again, "Although us sisters are all divine soul bodies now, the lowest when we were alive was also Phaseless Realm strength, much stronger compared to those people! As long as our divine souls recover to some extent, I believe that we can still be of some help to Young Master."
Towards Qin Meixuan's decision, Ye Yuan was rather surprised.
To a divine soul who was imprisoned for countless years, the greatest release was nothing more than entering samsara.
But these girls would actually willingly stay by his side and not be willing to enter samsara too.
Ye Yuan mused for a moment and said, "Do you all still have some unfulfilled wish?"
"This …" Qin Meixuan could not help hesitating.
Ye Yuan snorted coldly when he saw the situation and said, "Humph! Do you feel that this young master is very easygoing? Or maybe, you feel that this young master will accept a group of people with unknown backgrounds to be around me?"
Ye Yuan knew that these girls were all not nice people when they were still alive. It was just that they were too weak currently, that was why they appeared all so pitiful.
If he let them recover strength, they might do something!
Therefore, talking to them, Ye Yuan did not have the intention of being courteous.
Qin Meixuan was very alarmed when she heard that and said, "Meixuan doesn't mean that. Actually …"
Qin Meixuan suddenly switched to voice transmission and said, "Actually, us sisters were all captured by that demon back then. And among us, there's still the eldest sister. That demon gifted Eldest Sister to Purple Origin Heretic God to be a concubine back then in order to fawn on him. Eldest Sister's debt of gratitude towards us is as weighty as a mountain. If without her, we'd have long died already. Even though we know that she's definitely not in this world anymore, we still want to take one last look at her."
Ye Yuan's brows knitted together when he heard that. But titanic waves surged in his heart.
These girls had actually experienced the era of Divine Dao!
The Purple Origin Heretic God in their mouths must be a Deity Realm powerhouse!
Ye Yuan was unmoved on the surface, but his heart already leaped to his throat.
In this present era, no one was unmoved towards Deity Realm, these two words, including him, Ye Yuan!
In this lifetime, Ye Yuan's greatest wish apart from killing Ji Canglan was to pursue that fleeting and ephemeral Deity Realm.
Qin Meixuan did not detect the transformations of Ye Yuan's mental state at all and continued, "Moreover, us sisters are truly endlessly grateful towards Young Master and want to repay Young Master's great kindness. Hence, that's why we wish to remain by Young Master's side."
Ye Yuan said impassively, "Alright then. You all enter inside my spatial spirit artifact first. Later, I'll refine soul maintaining banners for you guys to let you all rest inside."
Qin Meixuan was overjoyed when she heard that and repeatedly said, "Thank you very much, Young Master! Thank you very much, Young Master!"
With a wave of his hand, Ye Yuan put them away inside the spatial spirit artifact.
In front of so many people, Ye Yuan naturally would not utilize the Vast Heaven Pagoda. The existence of the Vast Heaven Pagoda, even Divine King powerhouses would be moved too. The logic of not revealing one's wealth, Ye Yuan was still aware of this.
Chapter 751 - The Third Path
"Ye Yuan, you're still young. Make sure not to have your body milked dry by these vixens!"
Pei Wenqiang was very displeased when he saw that Ye Yuan actually took in these girls.
These beauties nearly took his life just now. If they entered samsara, then forget it. But now, what did following Ye Yuan count as?
Moreover, Pei Wenqiang saw that Ye Yuan and that woman in yellow actually communicated using divine sense later on. There must be more than meets the eye!
It was just that the existence of Jun Tianyu, this thorn, made him incredibly wary. He could only make jeering remarks.
Indeed, once he said that, everyone looked at Ye Yuan with strange gazes.
Even if these girls were divine soul bodies, their looks were extraordinary too. Could this action of Ye Yuan's be to form a harem?
Ye Yuan gave him an indifferent look and said, "This is my matter. What has it got to do with you?"
"You! Humph! Even if you want to indulge in sensual p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e, you need to walk out of this ancient grotto too!" Pei Wenqiang said with a cold snort.
Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Want to walk out of this ancient grotto, I advice that you better not have those devious thoughts! Let alone that your elder brother is whatever Seven Holy Sons, even if he is the Jade Emperor, it's useless here too!"
This sentence choked Pei Wenqiang badly, deflating his temper straight away.
Originally, he really wanted to do some shady things. But with Ye Yuan saying it like this, he really did not dare to move anymore.
Very clearly, apart from his cultivation realm being a little low, Ye Yuan's methods could be seen as if endless streams, more than what they could imagine.
If without Ye Yuan, forget about those bewitching arts earlier, even that river of Weak Water earlier, they could not cross it!
Walking all the way until now, the greatest reliance of their group of people was actually this Divine Traversing Realm boy with the lowest cultivation realm.
"Ye Yuan, seems like there are no other paths. Do we enter this hall or not?" Ying Tianya came forward to ask.
Ye Yuan darted him a glance and said, "Didn't you say that you can sense your junior's location?"
Ying Tianya smiled bitterly and said, "No idea why, I could still sense him outside the grotto. But ever since entering the grotto, we seemed to have lost the connection between us."
Ye Yuan could not help musing to himself when he heard that. If what Ying Tianya said was true, this place seemed to be exuding the thick smell of a conspiracy.
Ye Yuan thought about it and said, "No other choice then. Enter and check it out."
Everyone came before the hall's door. But Pei Wenqiang and the others were all akin to birds startled by the twang of a bow, not daring to step forward.
This ancient grotto was incredibly strange. Who knew if there would be any hidden mechanisms on top of this hall's door.
Ye Yuan went forward directly to push the door and enter. But nothing happened.
Only when Pei Wenqiang and the others saw the situation did they set their minds at ease, following Ye Yuan into the great hall.
"Transmission array!" the moment they entered the hall, someone immediately exclaimed.
Inside this great hall seemed to have nothing else, but actually it had two transmission arrays!
And right at this time, a faint phantom condensed and formed.
"Everyone arriving at this place already passed the tests previously. You all are my, Xie Lingzi's fated individuals! My, Xie Lingzi's lifespan has already ended. But I didn't look for a succe
ssor and treat this matter as a regret. So before I passed away, I've prepared two paths for you all. That transmission array on the left, I've designed three tests for everyone. The person who passes can inherit my, Xie Lingzi's, mantle. Everything that I, Xie Lingzi, have learned and hoarded throughout my life are all behind this transmission array. As long as you all are able to pass through the tests, all of this is yours. That transmission array on the right leads to the outside world. People not willing to accept the test can leave of your own accord," the faint phantom said.
The phantom was an old man dressed in a daoist attire, long hair fluttering, with a sage-like appearance. But he called himself Xie Lingzi 1 , making people's jaws drop.
Very clearly, this Xie Lingzi was the owner of the ancient grotto.
And Xie Lingzi's words immediately stirred up a huge uproar in the crowd.
"So, that Weak Water river and the beauties in the plaza from before were actually all tests!"
"Looking at the situation now, this Xie Lingzi is probably also a Dao Profound Realm powerhouse at least! If we can inherit his mantle, we'll soar to the skies with one bound!"
"Heh heh, inherit mantle? You guys are thinking too much, right? Those two tests previously were already so staggering. If we go in to accept the test, then what difference is there from seeking death?"
"That's right. This place is so bizarre. What are we still staying here for? Our little lives are more important!"
These martial artists split into two factions very quickly. One faction wished to enter the transmission array on the left, while the other faction wanted to enter the right-side transmission array and exit immediately.
To these martial artists, the inheritance of Dao Profound Realm was too alluring!
One had to know that the master of this Crimson Afterglow Holy Land was also just a First Level Dao Profound Realm.
If they could inherit Xie Lingzi's mantle, it could really be said to be like a carp leaping over the dragon gate.
Therefore, the majority of the martial artists all leaned towards the left-side's transmission array.
"Master Ye, this … which side should we go?" Ying Tianya listened and obeyed Ye Yuan's words readily now.
If talking about who had the greatest right to speak here, it was none other than Ye Yuan.
Pei Wenqiang did not speak. But hearing Ying Tianya asking, his ears unwittingly twitched too, wanting to hear what Ye Yuan had to say.
But Ye Yuan said, "Actually, I want to know, if we don't take both paths, what kind of outcome will it be?"
"Uh, not taking both paths? However, this hall doesn't seem to have other paths to take!" Ying Tianya said.
Ye Yuan had yet to speak when He Shuming laughed loudly and said, "Not taking both paths, there is naturally a third path to take!"
As he said, he circled around the two transmission arrays and came to the sides of a traditional square table at the back of the hall.
This action of his immediately caught everyone's eyes. Everyone became curious with what He Shuming wanted to do.
It was only to see He Shuming move one of the candlesticks on the old-style square table slightly. A scene which astonished everyone happened!
A surge of essence energy flooded the entire main hall very quickly. Under everyone's stares, a third transmission array actually opened up behind those two transmission arrays!
"This! There is actually still a transmission array! Concealed so deeply! Turns out that those two transmission arrays previously were actually both traps!"
"Alchemy Saint He is indeed well-deserving of being a Tier 7 array master, to actually be able to find this concealed transmission array! If we entered one of them, it would probably be hard to escape this calamity!"
"So close, so close! Being duped by that Xie Lingzi just now, I almost fell for it!"
When everyone saw this third transmission array, each and every one of them huffed in relief.
This third transmission array was concealed so deeply. Using one's b.u.t.t to think, the two previously were also both traps.
That Xie Lingzi made it so pleasant sounding to the ear. Thinking now, he had malicious intentions!
He Shuming looked at Ye Yuan smugly, clearly putting on a display of strength.
Ever since he knew Ye Yuan, he had been suppressed by Ye Yuan all-round constantly.
But when everyone was discussing which transmission array to enter just now, he discovered that this candlestick seemed to have some different aspects. Evil/Heretic Spirit
Chapter 752 - Your Elderly Self Take the Lead?
The moment Ye Yuan said this, it clearly indicated that Ye Yuan made it out too.
How could He Shuming be willing to let Ye Yuan enjoy all of the limelight alone? So he dug out this third transmission array right away to make a comeback.
Indeed, looking at everyone's reaction right now, the effects of this action was excellent.
Alchemy Saint and Tier 7 array master these two plaques were not hung for fun.
To the vast majority of people, this represented acknowledgment!
In comparison, it was clearly much harder for Ye Yuan's cultivation realm to want to obtain the recognition of a bunch of Heaven Enlightenment Realms and Boundless Realms.
He Shuming found this concealed transmission array and was immediately praised to the skies by people.
Especially Pei Wenqiang, he sent over raving compliments straight away.
"Master He indeed lives up to your name! Just this skill in array formations, I think it's above some people!" Pei Wenqiang said.
Pei Wenqiang's words were actually said very implicitly. He had long perceived that Ye Yuan clearly saw through this concealed transmission array too. Otherwise, he would not have said it like that.
It was just that in comparison to Ye Yuan, Pei Wenqiang clearly hoped for He Shuming to be able to take the upper-hand more.
Even though Pei Wenqiang knew that Ye Yuan's overall strength was much more formidable compared to He Shuming, to be able to irk Ye Yuan, he was still very willing.
"Haha, not at all, not at all! Just some insignificant skill. City Lord Pei is too courteous," He Shuming said with a delighted laugh.
Seeing everyone finally give Ye Yuan the cold-shoulder, He Shuming had unspeakable exhilaration in his heart.
"Tch, what is he even showing off for? Truly a vile character intoxicated by success!" Luo Fang at the side said with an unhappy look.
Their side had basically fallen out with He Shuming completely already. So seeing He Shuming's appearance of being proud of his success, Luo Fang was very displeased too.
Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Alchemy Saint He has also been repressed for a long time. Just let him enjoy a little."
After everyone flattered He Shuming for a while, the topic ultimately still had to return to which path to take.
But since He Shuming found this concealed transmission array, seems like this question was unnecessary too.
"Since Master He already found the genuine transmission array, then let's enter inside!" Pei Wenqiang said in a clear voice.
"Hold on!" Everyone was just about to set off, but they were stopped by Ye Yuan.
Pei Wenqiang said with a smile that wasn't a smile, "What? Does Master Ye feel somewhat unwilling to submit now that you didn't find this concealed transmission array?"
Ye Yuan said with a smile, "I naturally have no objections about you wanting to enter this third transmission array. But don't blame me for not warning you, if you really enter inside, bear the consequences yourself!"
Ye Yuan's words made Pei Wenqiang alarmed inwardly. But he still had a disbelieving look on his face as he said, "Heh, are you jealous of Master He? So you're deliberately exaggerating things to raise the alarm? I say, can you, brat, have a little breadth of mind or not?"
Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Alright then. Go on in then, I won't stop you."
Ye Yuan had an indifferent look. But it made Pei Wenqiang involuntarily waver.
&n
bsp; Their group of people being able to walk until now was all relying on Ye Yuan's measures.
Pei Wenqiang already noticed Ye Yuan outside the grotto and felt that this boy was not simple. After entering, the various kinds of means Ye Yuan displayed made him feel even more curious.
Now, Ye Yuan said that this third transmission array had a problem. Pei Wenqiang had no choice but to harbor all sorts of suspicions.
"Ye Yuan, don't think that you can use a few words to beguile the minds of people because you displayed some tricks previously! Why don't you say, if this third transmission array isn't the true passageway, then why is it hidden just now?" He Shuming said unhappily.
He was only smug for a little while just now and Ye Yuan came out again to stir up enmity. It would be weird if he could be happy.
In He Shuming's view, Ye Yuan saying this was absolutely beguiling the minds of people intentionally.
Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, "How about this, those willing to follow Master He into this third transmission array can go in right now. Master He, since this third transmission array was discovered by you, why don't your elderly self take the lead?"
"I … I'll go then! Who's afraid of who!"
He Shuming being triggered by Ye Yuan like this could not keep his face anymore and walked towards the third transmission array!
"Everyone, don't fall for this punk's trick! This brat likes to play these little tricks the most! This third transmission array is absolutely fine! Those willing to follow me in, enter together!" He Shuming said loudly.
As he was speaking, He Shuming already walked to the front of the transmission array. But when he turned around, he discovered that not a single person followed.
If Tan Wu was still around, he would definitely follow He Shuming. But sadly, Tan Wu was long killed on the spot by Jun Tianyu.
The other martial artists exchanged glances, looking at each other. There was actually no one who moved. Even the Pei Wenqiang who lauded him to the skies earlier did not move either.
