Wu He did not have any respect for Shao Kai at all. Although Exalt Blazing Fire and Exalt Si Yin were both newly ascended exalts, Exalt Blazing Fire's ambition was very great. His development these ten years was also pretty decent.
In contrast, Exalt Si Yin's strength was much weaker.
Therefore, Wu He was the same as the rest; holding Si Yin's lot in complete contempt.
Shao Kai's expression was very ugly. He was obviously aware of Exalt Si Yin's situation. But Exalt Si Yin had saved his life before, so there was no way that Shao Kai would betray Si Yin.
And entering the Heavenly Slaughter Pit this time was the turning point for Si Yin to rise up. Shao Kai had to help Si Yin to rise up no matter what.
Right at this time, a light flashed. 12 silhouettes appeared here. They were precisely the mysterious 12 Exalts.
The Ye Yuan who had his eyes shut to recuperate all along also opened his eyes at this time, and sized up the 12 exalts.
Apart from Si Yin, the other 11 exalts, it was his first time seeing them.
With this sweep, Ye Yuan could not help being slightly amazed too. The glabellas of the 12 Exalts all had eight stars, which was also eight-star soul general!
Just in Slaughter Dao, these 12 people's strengths were unfathomable.
"Alright, it's almost time. Us 12 Exalts will join forces to open up the passageway. Everybody, enter the Heavenly Slaughter Pit together." A masked exalt in the middle said.
Shao Kai scooted close to Ye Yuan's ear and said softly, "This is the most mysterious existence among the 12 Exalts, Exalt Netherkill."
Ye Yuan revealed a look of realization. This person was indeed too deep to fathom. He actually made Ye Yuan have a feeling of unable to figure out too.
The 12 Exalts got into position. An apprehensive killing qi suddenly erupted and shot towards that red light beam at the same time.
Boom!
On the red light beam actually slowly opened up a transmission gate!
When all the martial artists saw this situation, their faces all could not help showing looks of eagerness to have a go.
"Alright, set off!"
...
This was a blood-colored wilderness filled with desolation and bleakness, giving people a very dangerous feeling.
"Each exalt has the coordinates of the Dragon Sovereign Territory in their hands. Three days later, we'll meet up at the Dragon Sovereign Territory! Now, depart on your own!" Exalt Netherkill said coldly. The term used is somewhat derogatory, but not so bad until it's like calling her a bitch. Occasionally used to 'scold' middle-aged women.
Chapter 899 - Ethereal Blood Ginseng
Exalt Netherkill gave Ye Yuan a profound glance, and brought the subordinates under him and left.
Exalt Blazing Fire with a head full of fire-red colored hair slowly came in front of Exalt Si Yin. Darting a glance at Ye Yuan, he cracked a wide smile and said, "Si Yin, you got to keep a close eye on your family's little darling. This road … isn't too peaceful! Hahaha!"
This was a blatant threat, provoking until all of the martial artists on Exalt Si Yin's side scowled with furious glares.
Bai Meng was a figure that Exalt Blazing Fire was heavily grooming in the third level. He expended considerable resources on him but was killed by Ye Yuan. This grudge was considered sowed.
By the side, Exalt Heavenly Hedonist also looked at Si Yin with a smile that was not a smile as he said, "Si Yin, your position as an Exalt was originally in a precarious position to begin with. You actually still dared to recruit such a hot potato! Heh heh, this Heavenly Slaughter Pit trip, you got to be a little more careful."
Si Yin's face was cold as frost, but she did not argue.
She also did not expect that Blazing Fire and Heavenly Hedonist would actually walk together. This trip seemed to be quite troublesome.
"Lord Exalt, we should leave already. If we still don't go, the treasures will all be snatched away by others." Ye Yuan's leisurely voice transmitted over. He actually already walked out far away.
Si Yin was stunned and finally came back to her senses. She could not help being somewhat surprised. Ye Yuan got into such a big trouble, but he was actually not worried at all.
Did this brat not care about anything, or did he have something to count on?
"Humph! That stretch of area nearby has long been turned over countless times already. Whatever treasures there are, they have long been picked clean by people. Would it still be your turn?" Si Yin caught up to Ye Yuan and said with a cold snort.
Ye Yuan said with a smile, "That might not be so!"
The Heavenly Slaughter Pit was huge. The area which Asura City explored was but a very small part of it.
Heading towards the depths, the danger was very high. Even these veteran exalts also did not dare to go too deep.
The vicinity area of a radius of ten thousand miles, these Exalts from the Asura Arena already came goodness knows how many times. It was impossible to leave behind anything.
Right now, places that had good stuff were virtually all outside of 10 thousand miles.
"Hey, Ye Yuan! Don't run around. The fiendish qi in this Heavenly Slaughter Pit is extremely heavy. Even within this 10 thousand mile region, it's very dangerous too!" Seeing Ye Yuan milling around on his own, Si Yin could not resist warning.
This guy really made people worry.
"Lord Exalt, what is this boy doing? The Heavenly Slaughter Pit is an ancient battlefield. There's an abundance of evil stuff. If he anyhow runs around like this, he will screw us over!"
"This boy is relying on that Lord Exalt has a request for him. He's so freaking c.o.c.ky!"
"Lord Exalt, you look at that punk's arrogant appearance, how does he look like your subordinate? Those who don't know might even think that you're his subordinate!"
Si Yin's subordinates actually had a lot of resentment towards Ye Yuan. Seeing Ye Yuan run about without a break at this time, each and every one of them started to complain.
Si Yin's face turned black too when she heard that. Ye Yuan's actions truly thought too little of her.
Along the way, they naturally had to listen to her, this Exalt, for everything. This boy running around here and there, what did it count as?
The other exalts' teams had already moved out goodness knows how far away, while their bunch only walked out less than 500 miles.
At the rate of this speed, they could forget about reaching the Dragon Sovereign Territory in three day's time.
Being called out by her subordinates like this, Si Yin became embarrassed too. She questioned with a black face, "Ye Yuan, are you intentionally causing trouble?"
But it was like Ye Yuan did not hear it. He still rushed around in all directions, as if he was searching for something.
"Exalt, this brat isn't showing you any respect at all!" When the people under her saw Si Yin lose her temper, each and every one of them could not help getting excited.
Si Yin's expression became increasingly uglier. Finally, her figure moved, arriving at Ye Yuan's side.
"Ye Yuan, this Heavenly Slaughter Pit isn't a land for jokes. It's fine if you're courting death yourself, but don't drag everybody into the water! If you carry on being like this, this exalt won't be courteous anymore!" Si Yin said coldly.
Ye Yuan made a shushing hand gesture at Si Yin and said softly, "Lower your voice, don't scare the treasure away!"
He had a secretive appearance, looking just like a huckster.
However, in Si Yin's view, Ye Yuan was completely impervious to reason.
"Ye Yuan, you're too much! If I don't show you a little color, you really won't show any respect to me, this exalt!" Si Yin said in a cold voice.
Si Yin surged with killing qi. A powerful aura spread over towards Ye Yuan.
With a whoosh, a small and exquisite figure suddenly scurried out from underground and dashed for the distance.
Si Yin froze, the killing qi on her immediately dissipating into nothing.
Ye Yua
n heaved a slight sigh and shot a fierce glare at Si Yin.
Bang!
That little thing's speed was extremely fast. Even Si Yin did not see clearly what that thing was. But it did not run out very far when it slammed head-on into a light screen, tumbling over with a big somersault.
The little thing did not give up. Crawling up, it changed a direction and ran again. But it did not run far when it collided into a light screen again.
Seeing this scene, Si Yin and all the slaughter generals were all incredibly astounded.
They had clearly already noticed that a trapping formation was already laid down within this circ.u.mference of several hundred feet.
This array formation was clearly set up by Ye Yuan. But when did Ye Yuan make a move, they did not perceive it at all!
At this time, the little object was like a headless fly, dashing around randomly inside the array formation. But no matter how it ran, it could not escape the range of the array formation either.
Before long, the little thing was finally all worn out and gave up on escaping.
It slumped down and looked at Ye Yuan with a pitiable look.
That appearance was adorable to the max.
Si Yin focused her eyes to look, it was a palm-sized little child. Immediately, her maternal love overflowed, wanting to hug the little thing.
"Hey, what are you doing?!" Si Yin was just about to make a move but was berated by Ye Yuan.
Si Yin froze: "Don't you see how pitiful he is? I'll go hug him!"
Ye Yuan shot her another glare and said crossly, "Prodigal broad who is not good enough to accomplish anything! If I didn't have foresight, this Ethereal Blood Ginseng would have been set free by you!"
Si Yin's complexion turned bright red all at once. Pointing at Ye Yuan, her c.h.e.s.t heaved up and down incessantly as she said in anger, "You! What did you say?! You actually dare to scold me … scold me …"
"Humph! What are you if not a prodigal broad? Do you know how precious this Ethereal Blood Ginseng is? Do you know how great an effort I spent in this half a day's time in order to not startle him? Let him escape, and it will be even harder than ascending to the heavens to want to find him again!" Ye Yuan said with a displeased face, totally not caring about Si Yin's attitude.
Si Yin was rendered speechless by Ye Yuan. She also recovered to her senses at this time. Widening her eyes, she said, "You … You're saying that this little child is the Tier 9 spirit medicine, Ethereal Blood Ginseng?!"
Ye Yuan glared and said huffily, "What do you think?"
Si Yin had nothing to say anymore. She never would have thought that within this several hundred miles radius, there would actually be a Tier 9 spirit medicine!
"You … Why didn't you say earlier …" Si Yin said weakly.
Chapter 900 - Si Yin Enraged
"Say what say? By the time I say clearly, he would have escaped long ago!" Ye Yuan said crossly.
He circled around Si Yin and came in front of the Ethereal Blood Ginseng, and directly tapped a finger over.
That little child suddenly fled. It actually wanted to slip away.
Ye Yuan gave a cold laugh and said, "Want to run? How can it be that easy?! Lock!"
The spell in Ye Yuan's hands pinched, several beams of light extended out within the array formation, grabbing hold of the Ethereal Blood Ginseng that was about to escape.
Ye Yuan chuckled and went up to jab randomly, laying down several restrictions on the Ethereal Blood Ginseng.
The little child looked at Ye Yuan with wide glaring eyes and unspeakable resentment in its gaze.
"Heh heh, don't look at me like this! Following your Grandpa Ye in the future, I won't treat you shabbily!"
Ye Yuan laughed merrily and directly threw the Ethereal Blood Ginseng into the storage ring.
Even with Ye Yuan's eyesight, he regarded this Ethereal Blood Ginseng as a treasure. It could be seen how valuable he was.
Si Yin looked at Ye Yuan with an unfriendly face and said with a cold smile, "You're really not polite!"
Ye Yuan said indifferently, "Just a Tier 9 spirit medicine, I won't be courteous with Lord Exalt."
"You really take this Exalt to not know anything? The Ethereal Blood Ginseng's predecessor is a Polar Region Blood Ginseng. The conditions to take form are extremely harsh! Firstly, a Polar Region Blood Ginseng requires over 10 thousand years of martial artists' fresh blood to nourish before it can initially take form. And when a Polar Region Blood Ginseng evolves to an Ethereal Blood Ginseng, the conditions are even harsher to the extreme. An item like this, you dare to pocket it alone?" Si Yin said icily.
Although she was astounded by Ye Yuan's ability, this Ethereal Blood Ginseng was too valuable. She did not plan on giving up.
Ye Yuan said with a smile, "The Ethereal Blood Ginseng landing in Exalt's hands, that's covering a bright pearl in dust. But in my hands, he can unleash a heaven-defying effect! How about this, when I use him to refine medicinal pills, I'll allocate you one!"
Si Yin was just thinking of refuting, but she suddenly recalled those medicinal pills that Ye Yuan took out at that time, and could not help hesitating a little.
Without a doubt, Ye Yuan's alchemy strength was incomparably heaven-defying!
If it was really as Ye Yuan said, the Ethereal Blood Ginseng was indeed much more useful in his hands compared to in her hands.
"Fine! You swear a Heavenly Dao Oath, and I won't pursue this matter anymore!" Si Yin thought about it and made up her mind.
Ye Yuan nodded and swore a Heavenly Dao Oath on the spot before this matter was considered settled. Everyone set off on the journey once more.
Those slaughter generals who were scolding Ye Yuan prior to this all kept their mouths shut sensibly at this time.
For 30 thousand years, this 10 thousand mile region had long been scoured countless times over. It was totally not possible to find any treasures. Yet, this boy actually found such a heaven-defying spirit medicine in less than half a day. What else could they still say?
This Ethereal Blood Ginseng already took human form. His intelligence was extremely high. This was also the reason why he could avoid these countless batches of people's searching.
But no matter how clever he was, he could not escape Ye Yuan's 'demonic clutches' either.
Later on, whatever bizarre behavior Ye Yuan had, they all sensibly did not speak by the sides anymore.
You have got to be kidding. Wasn't saying any more smacking their own mouths?
Reality proved that they were right to shut their mouths. Along the way, Ye Yuan really found quite a number of good stuff.
Si Yin looked at Ye Yuan's bustling about back view, her gaze revealing a complicated look.
How in the world did this guy discover these hidden spirit medicines?
Little did they know that Ye Yuan was actually endlessly depressed right now. He was missing White Light. If White Light was here, apart from spirit medicines, he could probably find even more good stuff.
...
Three days later, Ye Yuan's party finally arrived outside the Dragon Sovereign Territory. Except, they were the last group.
The other exalts had been waiting here long ago.
"Heh, Si Yin, your attitude is so haughty! To actually make Netherkill, Coldblood, these few elder brothers, wait for the greater part of a day! Don't you know that your group of people already overshot the time?" Blazing Fire said with a cold smile.
Si Yin's expression changed when she heard that. This fellow had malicious motives. It was the intention of sowing dissension!
"Huhu, finally managed to take a trip inside, we naturally got to be a little more attentive on the way. If there are any fine treasures, what a waste it would be to miss it," Si Yin had yet to open her mouth, but Ye Yuan spoke up.
Wu He smiled coldly when he heard that and said, "What a joke! Inside this 10 thousand mile region, what treasures are there still? Moreover, with just the likes of you, what treasures can you obtain? In my view, yo
u guys are deliberately not giving face to Exalt Netherkill they all, and were late on purpose!"
These two people sang in chorus. They were clearly sowing discord.
Netherkill did not say anything, but Coldblood was somewhat unhappy and spoke up, "Younger Sister Si Yin, we only have half a year's time. Every second is very valuable. Everybody agreed on a time, but you were late. Not giving a reason, isn't it somewhat unjustifiable?"
Si Yin also understood that this Coldblood was still finding trouble for the matter of vying for Ye Yuan the last time, that was why he intentionally dropped a rock down the well.
Exalt Coldblood was the most insidious among the 12 Exalts. Other people were all very scared of him.
These few years, he had swindled who knows how many Exalts inside this Heavenly Slaughter Pit.
It was just that being targeted at by so many people, Si Yin became enraged at all once.
"Elder Brother Coldblood wants a reason, right? I'll give you a reason right away!"
Finished talking, Si Yin extended a hand and drew a line. Over ten stalks of spirit medicines were propped up by essence energy, suspending in midair.
Seeing this scene, even Exalt Netherkill's imposing momentum also choked up slightly, let alone the rest.
Especially Blazing Fire's and Wu He's faces, they turned burning red.
These ten over stalks of spirit medicines, the vast majority were all Tier 9 spirit medicines that were extremely hard to see in the outside world. Furthermore, thick sinister qi faintly emitted from within the spirit medicines. They clearly came from inside the Heavenly Slaughter Pit.
Don't look at how Si Yin took out so many in one breath, Tier 9 spirit medicines were not that easy to find.
The value of one stalk of Tier 9 spirit medicine was even more valuable than a thousand strains of Tier 8 spirit medicines. More importantly, Tier 9 spirit medicines could not be seen everywhere. Each stalk was incomparably precious.
The moment Si Yin made a move, even those Exalts lost composure.
But they did not know that the spirit medicines Ye Yuan found were more than just this.
"We entered this Heavenly Slaughter Pit in order to hunt for treasures. This Exalt can't disregard all of these spirit medicines when I see them, right? While everybody agreed to gather here, I also never said that I must go in together with everybody! If Elder Brothers can't wait, just feel free to enter yourselves!" Si Yin was clearly really enraged and said coldly.
