Chapter 1068: We Were Wrong

As soon as Ye Yuan said this, the crowd erupted in an uproar!

Especially those Void Xuan experts, they all looked at Ye Yuan with incredulous eyes.

Sun Man's face darkened as he asked, "Do you know what you're saying?"

Ye Yuan said indifferently, "Nonsense, how could I not know what I said?"

"Fine, since you're withdrawing, then this Dao Fruit is not for you! If you dare to snatch the Dao Fruit, you'll be the enemy of everyone!" Sun Man said in a deep voice.

Ye Yuan waved his hand dismissively and said, "You guys have fun. Although I really want to advise all of you not to get involved in this matter, you definitely won't listen. As for the consequences, you'll bear them yourselves."

Ye Yuan's words made Sun Man's heart sink.

As for the others, they all looked at Ye Yuan with strange expressions, because his words were very peculiar.

This was the only chance to break through to the Divine Realm—what consequences could there be?

No matter how severe the consequences, they were willing to bear them!

"Hey, are you trying to spread heresy? The opportunity of the Divine Path is within reach; who would give up this chance?" Sun Man sneered.

His words struck a chord in everyone's heart.

Ye Yuan did not want to stop these people, because he knew that even if he tried to dissuade them, it would be useless.

With so many Void Profound Realm experts here, any attempt at dissuasion through force would be even more useless.

"An opportunity for the Divine Path? I suspect you're trying to use everyone's strength to break this great formation. I'm quite curious what kind of ghostly things are inside." Ye Yuan sneered.

The more Ye Yuan spoke, the more shocked Sun Man became. Could it be that this kid knew something?

Sun Man's face darkened, and he declared loudly, "Everyone heard that—Ji Qingyun has given up his claim to the Dao Spirit Fruit! If he dares to snatch it later, he will be the common enemy of all."

No one spoke, because Qing Yunzi's prestige was too high. But from their expressions, it was clear they would never allow Ye Yuan to touch the Dao Spirit Fruit.

After all, he was unwilling to exert any effort.

Sun Man added, "Let's lay our cards on the table. If the formation is opened, everyone will compete for the Dao Spirit Fruit based on their own abilities. As for who gets it, that depends on each person's fortune."

This was only to be expected; everyone understood it well.

As for Ye Yuan's decision, Ao Qian and the other two naturally dared not raise any objections, but looking at the Dao Spirit Fruit, the four of them were still extremely covetous.

"G-great one, are we really giving up on that Dao Spirit Fruit?" Jiang Taicang couldn't help asking.

Ye Yuan looked at him with a faint smile and said, "Are you all very tempted? Do you think I'm making a mountain out of a molehill, right?"

Jiang Taicang's face turned awkward, and he forced a smile, saying, "G-great one, Old Jiang didn't mean that."

Ye Yuan laughed and said, "If any of you want to join in, I won't stop you. After all, this is an opportunity to become a god. If I were to obstruct you, it would seem too heartless."

Jiang Taicang quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, great one. I... I was just saying that. You... you can consider what Old Jiang said as nothing but a fart."

Ao Qian couldn't bear to watch any longer and spoke up: "Milord, Taicang, he..."

Ye Yuan stopped Ao Qian with a gesture and said indifferently, "Those who follow different paths cannot work together! If any of you wishes to seize the chance to become a god, you can tell me. I will not stop you, and I can even dissolve the soul contract. But... our bond ends here!"

Ye Yuan's words made the four of them tremble with fear. Their lord was usually amiable and rarely restrained them. But this time, he seemed truly angry.

Having said that, Ye Yuan went to one side by himself and closed his eyes to rest.

The four exchanged glances, their expressions extremely grim.

Over there, Ding Zhanguo was already probing the weak points of the great formation, and everyone was watching him nervously.

Meanwhile, Ao Qian and the other three were like ants on a hot pan.

They had not followed Ye Yuan for long, but they had received great favors from him and were already utterly devoted to him. But this time, it was about becoming a god, and they truly could not stay calm, which led them to question Ye Yuan's decision.

"Heh heh, they've rejected you, and you're still clinging to them? Young Master Ji said he's willing to dissolve your soul contracts. This is a chance to achieve the divine path. Don't you want to give it up?" At that moment, Yue Xinping suddenly appeared and said with a smile.

From the moment Ye Yuan said he would give up the Dao Fruit, he had been watching this side.

Seeing that Ye Yuan had actually fallen out with his own men, Yue Xinping was inexplicably excited.

Seeing that Ao Qian and the others couldn't make up their minds, he wanted to incite them to betray Ye Yuan. That way, Ye Yuan would be alone and much easier to deal with.

There was more than one person here who wanted to kill Ye Yuan. Without these Void Profound Realm experts, his death would be near.

If he hadn't appeared, it might have been fine, but the moment he spoke, Jiang Taicang exploded.

He pointed at Yue Xinping's nose and cursed, "What business is it of yours? Whether I become a god or not, what's it to you? I just don't want to become a god, so what? You're meddling in others' affairs, trying to sow discord, aren't you? When your Grandpa Jiang was playing this game, you were still in your mother's womb! Get the hell out of here, or I'll beat you until you have no teeth left!"

Having said that, ignoring Yue Xinping's stunned expression, he dashed in front of Ye Yuan, knelt down, and kept slapping his own face, saying fiercely, "Milord, I was blinded by greed! I understand now, Milord, you were doing this for our own good! For the rest of my life, I won't go anywhere; I swear to follow you to the death!"

Seeing this, Yue Xinping's mouth fell open, utterly incredulous.

The shift in attitude was too fast!

He hadn't expected that this fellow could actually resist the temptation of becoming a god.

Just then, Ao Qian glared at him and said coldly, "Didn't you hear him tell you to get lost? Do you need your Grandpa Ao to see you out?"

Yue Xinping was not afraid of Jiang Taicang, but he was no match for Ao Qian. Seeing that Ao Qian was about to lose his temper, he said awkwardly, "Ha... haha, I'm... I'm going."

Seeing Yue Xinping walk away, Ao Qian and the other three came to Ye Yuan and knelt directly before him.

"Milord, I was foolish! Please punish me!" Having said that, he also slapped himself twice.

Wu Luo and Ruan Shuangzhou followed Ao Qian's example and said, "Please punish us!"

Ye Yuan's gaze swept across the four faces, and he said coldly, "This is the first time, and it will be the last! It is said that when employing people, do not doubt them; when doubting them, do not employ them. For me, this is true, and for you, it is the same! Although you are nominally my servants, I have never treated you as such. If you cannot even trust me, then our bond has reached its end!"

The four were startled and said in unison, "Milord, we were wrong!"

Ye Yuan nodded slightly, his tone softening a bit, and said, "Speaking of the divine realm, I desire it more than any of you! But this time, believe me—this Dao Fruit... definitely has problems!"

Ye Yuan's resolute tone startled the four of them.
