Chapter 1123: Easy to Invite a God, Hard to Send Him Away

"Ji Qingyun, you have mastered the Great Teleportation, but your subordinates have not! Do you think they can escape the Holy City?" Nangong Zifeng suddenly spoke.

Ye Yuan frowned, finally understanding why Nangong Zifeng had not appeared all along.

It seemed this fellow had been preparing a contingency plan all this time!

A wily old fox like Yun Xiao would naturally not give Ye Yuan an opening in the Heavenly Dao oath.

His oath only extended until Ye Yuan left the Blood Rain Wasteland.

Now that Ye Yuan was out, the oath naturally ended there.

The Holy City could not touch Ye Yuan, but they could certainly take action against Ao Qian and the others.

"If you dare to touch them, I will kill a Void Xuan expert! I am no match for the two of you, but as for the others, you can try me!" Ye Yuan said coldly.

Ao Qian and the others had followed him through life and death, and Ye Yuan had long regarded them as close friends.

Nangong Zifeng threatening him with them truly stirred Ye Yuan's killing intent!

"Ji Qingyun, don't be arrogant! If you have the guts, come at me! Just because you've mastered the Great Teleportation, do you think you're invincible?" a Void Xuan expert said angrily.

This man was called Shi Renhui, also an elder of the Holy City and a seasoned Void Xuan expert.

His strength was even slightly greater than Zhao Lingdong's after fusion.

He naturally could not stomach such arrogant words from Ye Yuan.

In his view, the only reason Ye Yuan could still stand here was the Great Teleportation technique.

Ye Yuan grinned and said, "Is that so? Old Man Shi, I'm coming, so you'd better be ready!"

Shi Renhui only felt a blur before his eyes, and Ye Yuan had already vanished.

In an instant, his hair stood on end as an extremely dangerous feeling surged within him.

Ye Yuan, wielding the Zhuxie Divine Sword, had already arrived behind Shi Renhui!

Another sword beam!

This sword strike was like a death warrant; Shi Renhui had not felt so close to death in many years.

Without a moment's hesitation, he expanded his Divine King Domain!

Nangong Zifeng had not expected Ye Yuan to act so abruptly; his expression changed as his Divine King Domain instantly spread out!

His distance from Shi Renhui was just within reach of his Divine King Domain, but its power was already very weak.

The Divine King Domain was stronger closer to oneself and weaker toward the edges.

Facing Nangong Zifeng's Divine King Domain, Ye Yuan did not hesitate and thrust his sword forward without looking back!

With overwhelming force, the Zhuxie Sword, at the realm of sword intent reaching the divine, shattered Nangong Zifeng's Divine King Domain.

"Boom!"

The sword beam, undiminished in momentum, crashed directly onto Shi Renhui's Divine King Domain.

"Pfft..."

Shi Renhui spat out a mouthful of blood, his body reeling as if struck by a heavy blow, flying backward.

Everyone stared dumbfounded at this scene, deeply shaken by Ye Yuan.

If Ye Yuan's earlier sword strike had only killed some Divine King experts, it was not impressive enough.

Then this sword truly stunned them!

"How can he be so strong? Ji Qingyun didn't even use his Divine King Domain, yet he severely wounded Elder Shi? If Lord Nangong hadn't intervened, Elder Shi would probably be dead!"

"Incredible! Could this be the true power of a divine artifact?"

"A single strike at the fifth level of Daoxuan heavily injuring Elder Shi—this achievement is simply astounding!"

Ye Yuan's sword strike completely overturned their understanding of the Divine King realm.

In the eyes of these martial artists, the Divine King realm was the pinnacle of martial arts.

Only a Void Profound expert could defeat another Void Profound expert!

Yet Ye Yuan, with a single sword strike, nearly annihilated a seasoned Void Profound expert.

This scene was simply too unbelievable.

Yun Xiao and Nangong Zifeng both gazed fervently at the Demon-Slaying Sword in Ye Yuan's hand. Those ordinary martial artists couldn't see it, but how could they not?

Ye Yuan had activated the divine laws within the divine artifact, unleashing such terrifying sword intent!

Ye Yuan had comprehended the divine laws!

No one understood better than the two of them why the Ten Divine Kings were so powerful.

The reason was that they had all comprehended the divine laws!

But now, Ye Yuan, at the fifth level of Daoxuan, had already comprehended the divine laws!

What was more, Ye Yuan actually possessed a divine sword.

A divine artifact with its divine power activated was extremely terrifying.

This point was all too clear to the Holy City, with its long heritage.

Nangong Zifeng forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart, took a deep breath, and said, "Ji Qingyun, I acknowledge your strength! Fine, I will send your men back to you exactly as they are. Now, can you leave?"

Ye Yuan thought for a moment and nodded, "Alright, have them brought to the city gate. I'll meet them there! I advise you not to have any crooked ideas, or else today the Holy City will surely run with blood!"

It's easier to invite a god than to send one away!

Hearing that Ye Yuan agreed to leave, all the experts of the Holy City breathed a sigh of relief.

They had never imagined that a supreme Alchemy Emperor would one day reach such a level in martial arts!

Finally, they had sent this plague god away!

"You have proven your strength. Rest assured, we will not trouble you again. However, you must also swear a Heavenly Dao oath that you will never again go on a killing spree!" said Nangong Zifeng.

Ye Yuan nodded and said, "As long as you don't provoke me, I won't strike again."

Then Ye Yuan made the Heavenly Dao oath, and only then did Nangong Zifeng order Ao Qian and the others to be brought over.

Seeing Ye Yuan leave, a sly smile of triumph flickered at the corner of Nangong Zifeng's mouth.

...

In about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Ao Qian and the others were brought to the city gate.

Seeing Ye Yuan return safely, Ao Qian and the others were overjoyed.

"Haha, milord, you've finally returned! Those bastards in the Holy City are truly despicable—they drugged our food and captured us all!" Jiang Taicang immediately complained upon seeing Ye Yuan.

This was, after all, the headquarters of the Alchemist Guild; drugging a few of them was the easiest thing in the world.

Moreover, with the previous Heavenly Dao oath in place, the Holy City had treated them courteously for half a year, so they had no reason to suspect anything, and were thus knocked out directly.

Seeing that everyone was unharmed, Ye Yuan felt relieved and said with a smile, "With me here, they wouldn't dare lay a finger on you! This time, I gained a lot from entering the Blood Rain Wasteland. Later, I'll refine some pills for you to help you advance further! Old Ao, especially you—I look forward to seeing you restored to your peak form!"

Ao Qian trembled all over upon hearing this, then a look of ecstasy broke out on his face.

For Ye Yuan to say that meant he must have found the final spiritual herb in the Blood Rain Wasteland!

That way, he could recover his peak strength!

With Tianli around, it was naturally no trouble for Ye Yuan to find a few spiritual herbs.

Just as they were about to leave, a terrifying aura suddenly descended from the sky.

"Hahaha, Ji Qingyun, let's see if you really are immortal! Even if Qingxuan isn't here, this Divine Path Grand Formation can still destroy you!" Yunxiao laughed wildly.
