Chapter 1407: The City Lord's Attitude

"As expected, Yongdang King City has deep foundations! Their strength isn't just because of Bi Tianzhou alone, but their overall power."

"It might be quite difficult for Wumeng King City to surpass them."

"I wonder how many people Ye Yuan has killed and how many spirit medicines he has on him."

…

Everyone was very curious about how many spirit medicines Ye Yuan had on him.

At a ratio of five to one, Ye Yuan would need at least ten thousand spirit medicines to have a chance of winning.

This number was unimaginable in previous Hundred City Trials.

After obtaining a storage ring, Ye Yuan would transfer all the spirit medicines from others into his own storage ring.

So no one knew exactly how many spirit medicines he had obtained.

Just then, Xuan Ling slowly spoke.

"First place in the outer academy, Ye Yuan of Wumeng King City, obtained a total of first-grade spirit medicines... twenty-one thousand three hundred!"

As soon as Xuan Ling's words fell, the entire square erupted.

At a ratio of five to one, the spirit medicines Ye Yuan alone obtained were double that of Yongdang King City!

"Just how many people did this guy kill!"

"Unbelievable! Truly unbelievable! Wumeng King City actually produced such a prodigy!"

"He's already this strong at the late Cave Heaven stage; when he breaks through to the Heaven Gazing stage, what then?"

"Before this Hundred City Trial, probably no one would have thought Wumeng King City could take first place, right?"

…

They didn't know that in the last three months, Ye Yuan had killed a full two thousand people!

Even if each person had only ten spirit medicines, that would add up to twenty thousand.

Ye Yuan's sword flight, combined with Wu Chen's vast divine sense, was unstoppable in such a setting.

No matter how well you hid, once you entered Wu Chen's detection range, you couldn't escape death.

Xuan Ling waved his hand, and three beams of light flew out.

Two of them flew toward Ye Yuan, and the other flew toward Bi Tianzhou.

"These are your rewards!" Xuan Ling said indifferently.

Before Ye Yuan were two jade boxes, one smaller and the other longer and narrower.

Obviously, the smaller one contained the four-star divine pill, and the longer one naturally contained the Weeping Spirit Fruit.

Ye Yuan had also heard from Wu Chen about the effects of the Weeping Spirit Fruit; it was indeed a good thing.

The Weeping Spirit Fruit was a natural spiritual object containing immense spiritual energy, even more powerful than ordinary pills.

Consuming one Weeping Spirit Fruit was equivalent to a hundred years of bitter cultivation!

Ten Weeping Spirit Fruits would surely allow Ye Yuan to break through to the Great Perfection of the Cave Heaven stage.

Ye Yuan put away both items and cupped his hands toward Xuan Ling, saying, "Thank you, Lord Xuan Ling!"

Xuan Ling gave Ye Yuan a meaningful look and smiled, "This is what you deserve! Ye Yuan, you are very good. When you leave the king city in the future, you can come to Tianying Imperial City to find me."

Xuan Ling's words made everyone's expression turn serious.

Tianying Imperial City was the administrator of Wumeng King City!

Its level of power was beyond the imagination of these people.

For these students, their lifelong wish was to enter Tianying Imperial City.

In their minds, Tianying Imperial City was like a sacred land.

The Hundred City Trial had been held countless times, but Lord Xuan Ling had never said such a thing.

Yet this time, he made an exception!

This showed that he truly had a fondness for talent.

At that moment, all the students looked at Ye Yuan with envy.

Even Bi Tianzhou's gaze showed a hint of surprise.

"Alright, this Hundred City Trial ends here. You may all return!"

After saying this, Xuan Ling formed hand seals, and over a hundred altars activated simultaneously, causing everyone's figures to vanish from the secret realm.

…

The news that Wumeng King City had bravely taken first place in the Hundred City Trial quickly spread like wildfire throughout the entire Wumeng King City.

Wumeng King City's strength among these hundred-odd king cities had always been mediocre.

Not particularly weak, but definitely not strong.

Being first among the hundred cities had never been associated with Wumeng King City.

But this time, Wumeng King City had actually overpowered Yongdang King City to become first among the hundred cities.

This news was extremely振奋人心.

"Ye Yuan is truly amazing! He single-handedly propelled Wumeng King City to the top spot!"

"Remember when he first entered the academy, everyone thought he was weak. Who would have thought that in just over ten years, he would soar to the skies."

"He even defeated Jin Yu; among the Cave Heaven Divine Realm, he's unmatched, right?"

…

Within the academy, people were praising Ye Yuan everywhere.

Back then, Ye Yuan's defeat of Qin Shao was impressive, but it was only within Wumeng Academy.

But now it was different; Ye Yuan had swept through the Hundred City Trial and taken first place.

In the City Lord's Mansion, a dignified middle-aged man sat in the main hall.

Below were Academy Head Wen Yiyang and Lei Ming.

Lei Ming bowed and recounted how Qin Yuanlong had attempted to assassinate Ye Yuan, saying angrily, "City Lord, the Qin family is utterly outrageous! Regardless of their grievances with Ye Yuan, using such means against a Cave Heaven stage student is truly despicable!"

In fact, everyone knew the rights and wrongs of the conflict between the Qin family and Ye Yuan.

The Qin family was used to being domineering and couldn't tolerate any offense.

The Wumeng City Lord said calmly, "Wen Yiyang, what do you think?"

Wen Yiyang cupped his hands and said, "City Lord, Ye Yuan is a genius that appears once in a hundred thousand years. His significance to our Wumeng King City is self-evident! The Qin family's actions this time are indeed excessive."

As the academy head, Wen Yiyang naturally cherished having such a genius under his command.

The Qin family's actions had crossed his bottom line.

The Wumeng City Lord fell into a long silence. Wen Yiyang and Lei Ming dared not speak more; they exchanged glances and saw confusion in each other's eyes.

This matter was too obvious; it seemed there was no need for much deliberation, right?

If even this incident wasn't used to teach the Qin family a lesson, they would become even more reckless in the future.

After a long while, the Wumeng City Lord slowly said, "The Qin family's actions were indeed improper, but since Qin Yuanlong has already been disowned by the Qin family and killed by Lei Ming, this matter is settled. There is no excuse for the City Lord's Mansion to trouble the Qin family further. The Qin family is a founding clan of Wumeng King City and has made outstanding contributions. They cannot be easily moved. Let this matter rest here! I will warn the Qin family to be careful. This time, Ye Yuan has rendered great service to the king city and won me a four-star Awakening Divine Pill. You two should reward Ye Yuan generously."

Wen Yiyang was shocked inwardly; he hadn't expected the City Lord to brush off the matter so lightly.

The City Lord's intention was to turn a big issue into a small one, and a small one into nothing.

Although the Qin family was deeply rooted in Wumeng King City, did the City Lord have to be so wary?

Such handling was naturally fine for Wen Yiyang, but he worried that Ye Yuan might have some thoughts about it!
