Chapter 1166: A Tough Life

"Who is this person, daring to act so arrogantly in our Medicine King Hall?"

"I don't recognize him; he looks unfamiliar! But he's only at the seventh level of Dao Profound, yet he dares to come and call out the Hall Master's name. Isn't he asking for death?"

"Fool! That's Ji Qingyun! He... has returned!"

"Ji... Ji Qingyun? Is he the one who was reborn through possession?"

"Heh heh, this idiot actually dares to come to Medicine King Hall alone. He's really asking for death!"

...

Ye Yuan's shout set the entire Medicine King Hall abuzz.

Too arrogant!

Too overbearing!

Too... foolish!

A martial artist at the seventh level of Dao Profound dared to come to Medicine King Hall and act wild?

Had the possession and rebirth also damaged his brain?

Sweeping his gaze across, Ye Yuan's eyes revealed a complex expression.

Things had changed, and people were no longer the same.

The Medicine King Hall of today no longer had its former glory.

At a glance, it was a scene of devastation, a far cry from its heyday.

Many faces looked familiar, but they were no longer who they used to be.

The terrifying aspect of the demon race lay in their ability to demonize.

Once demonized, they became loyal dogs to their demon master, unable to betray until death.

Ye Yuan had learned many characteristics of the demon race from Tian Li.

The demon race was a fearsome race; one could say that as wildfire could not burn them out, the spring wind would make them grow again.

As long as they did not die, they could assimilate other races without restraint.

But for humans, killing a demon emperor-level being was easy.

However, once a demon reached the divine realm, they were almost immortal!

Killing them was extremely, extremely difficult!

The Absolute Dao Celestial's power was immense, yet he still could not completely destroy the two great Heavenly Demon Gods; he could only suppress them.

In other words, once a demon evolved to the divine realm, they were nearly immortal!

These former disciples of Medicine King Hall before him had now become demon slaves.

Demon slaves had their own independent consciousness and could cultivate on their own, but they obeyed their master from the bottom of their hearts.

In essence, it was servility!

Ye Yuan's perception was extremely strong; at this moment, there were many extremely powerful beings in Medicine King Hall.

But to Ye Yuan now, they were not worth mentioning.

"Haha, Ji Qingyun, you came just in time! Since you're here, then stay!"

A peak Divine King powerhouse shot into the sky, meeting Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan recognized this peak Divine King powerhouse; he was once a guest elder of Medicine King Hall, Ma Youdao.

But now, Ma Youdao was clearly demonized.

In his previous life, Ye Yuan had a good relationship with this Ma Youdao.

Ma Youdao's talent was mediocre; his breakthrough to peak Divine King was thanks to Ye Yuan.

Ma Youdao had watched Ye Yuan grow up and treated him like his own nephew.

Unfortunately...

"Ma Youdao, step back. I won't kill you! I came today only to kill Ji Canglan!" Looking at Ma Youdao, Ye Yuan said with a complex tone.

Although Ye Yuan could be said to kill without blinking, he found it hard to strike against those who had been kind to him.

Even though he knew this man had already been demonized.

Only the high-ranking members of Medicine King Hall knew Ye Yuan's true strength. Ma Youdao had been stationed at Medicine King Hall all along, so he had no idea.

His current thought was to capture Ye Yuan and claim credit from his master!

In his eyes, Ye Yuan was just a little rookie at the seventh level of Dao Profound.

"Haha, kill me? Did you hear that? This kid, only at the seventh level of Dao Profound, says he wants to kill me!"

Ma Youdao's words made everyone snicker.

"Haha, this kid wasn't this funny back then! Seventh level of Dao Profound against a peak Divine King? Is he joking?"

"Maybe he's still immersed in his previous life as the young master, thinking we'll go easy on him!"

"Ma Youdao, stop wasting words with this kid. I'll let you have this credit; take him down quickly."

...

Ma Youdao said smugly, "Ji Qingyun, I didn't expect that after your possession and rebirth, you'd become so arrogant. Today, I, Ma Youdao, want to see how you'll kill me."

Ma Youdao burst into laughter and suddenly struck a palm at Ye Yuan.

"Pfft!"

The imposing palm strike dissipated directly two zhang in front of Ye Yuan.

Ma Youdao's expression changed, and everyone's expression changed drastically!

What... what was going on?

Ye Yuan sighed and said, "Alright, I was being sentimental."

Ma Youdao was stunned, and before he could understand what was happening, his vision went black, and he fainted directly.

Ye Yuan gently pushed with his palm, sending Ma Youdao to a platform halfway up the mountain, but did not kill him.

Ye Yuan couldn't bring himself to do it.

"This... what just happened? Ma Youdao's palm strike vanished inexplicably!"

"Yes, we didn't even see Ji Qingyun move, not the slightest fluctuation of primal force!"

"Could it be that Ma Youdao slipped up? But that's impossible, right?"

"Something's not right; this Ji Qingyun seems a bit strange!"

...

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..."

Just as Ye Yuan finished dealing with Ma Youdao, more than a dozen figures soared into the sky.

With a sweep of his gaze, these people had all been Ye Yuan's elders!

Although their strength and status were far inferior to Ye Yuan's, without exception, they had watched Ye Yuan grow up.

Moreover, they had a very good relationship with Ye Yuan.

Seeing this, how could Ye Yuan not understand what was going on?

This Ji Canglan was truly shameless to the extreme, actually trying to use such means to make him hesitate.

But was it that simple?

"Hum!"

Ye Yuan's soul power surged out, directly attacking the sea of consciousness of these dozen figures.

Soul attack!

With Ye Yuan's current soul realm, launching a soul attack against these people, they had no power to resist.

"Ji Canglan, stop wasting your efforts! It's useless! I'll give you one last chance: come out and fight!" Ye Yuan said loudly.

A black figure slowly walked out of Medicine King Hall, looked at Ye Yuan, and frowned, "You haven't fallen into demonization? Those who escaped from Bright Moon City clearly said they saw you fall into demonization!"

The earlier probing had finally confirmed that Ye Yuan had not fallen into demonization.

Ye Yuan said indifferently, "You seem disappointed? You've really gone to great lengths for me, haven't you?"

It must be said that Ye Yuan had come very close to falling into the trap.

If not for Lü'er, Ye Yuan would have already fallen into demonization.

"The Son of Fate is indeed hard to deal with. Now, I finally understand a little why the Divine Lord went to such lengths to eliminate you." Ji Canglan also sighed slightly.

Having lurked for hundreds of years, Ji Canglan naturally had many emotions.

He, Mo Lan, could be said to have been born for Ye Yuan.

Yet, after lurking for hundreds of years, he still couldn't kill Ye Yuan.

For Ye Yuan, he had truly racked his brains, but he just couldn't kill him.

Ye Yuan's life was simply too tough!
