Chapter 1429: Asking for Trouble

In the great hall, Divine Envoy Qingfeng slowly opened his eyes.

"One hour is up. It seems... you have no intention of handing him over! Very well! In that case, I will go and invite him myself!"

Without further ado, Qingfeng slowly descended from the hall.

The Tianlu Divine Palace had always remained aloof from worldly affairs, allowing the struggles among the various sacred palaces to unfold on their own.

No one could remember how long it had been since a divine envoy from the Tianlu Divine Palace had descended into the mortal world.

The crowd had not expected the divine envoy to be so overbearing.

Disturbing someone in seclusion for cultivation was a major taboo for all martial artists, almost comparable to killing one's parents.

For if things went wrong, it could ruin the cultivator's path!

Such an act was unacceptable to any martial artist, especially a powerful deity.

To the White Night Sacred Palace, Ye Yuan was nothing less than a savior.

No one was willing to risk the grave offense of interrupting Ye Yuan's seclusion.

Not even the divine envoy from the Tianlu Divine Palace.

"Hmm?"

Qingfeng frowned, staring coldly at Bai Chen before him.

This brat actually dared to block his path.

"Are you seeking death? I have descended with the Tianlu Divine Decree. If you obstruct me in my duty, even if you are the lord of a sacred palace, I will kill you without hesitation!"

Qingfeng's eyes widened, and a powerful aura crushed down upon Bai Chen.

Bai Chen shuddered, stumbling back several steps before barely steadying himself. The injury he had just suppressed flared up again, and a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

Yet he seemed oblivious, cupping his hands toward Qingfeng and saying, "Divine Envoy, please calm your anger. Bai Chen dares not oppose the Divine Palace. However, the Supreme Elder is too important to our White Night Sacred Palace. If his cultivation is interrupted and he falls into demonic deviation, it would be a devastating blow to our palace! Bai Chen implores the Divine Envoy to grant us three more days. We have already sent a transmission talisman into the Supreme Elder's seclusion site. Once he reaches a break in his cultivation, he will surely emerge to receive the Divine Envoy!"

Mo Yun had been standing by, anxious and ready to act at any moment.

But he had not expected Bai Chen to speak such words.

It seemed that their young lord had finally grown up!

"Get out of my way!"

Yet Qingfeng remained unmoved, speaking to Bai Chen in a deep voice.

Bai Chen's expression changed; he had not expected this man to be so unreasonable.

"If he is in seclusion for a hundred years, am I supposed to wait here for a hundred years? I do not have that much leisure! I will say it once more: get out of my way, or do not blame me for what happens!" Qingfeng said coldly.

Bai Xiu and the others changed expressions several times and warned, "Palace Lord, step aside!"

Bai Chen's face showed reluctance, but he knew he could not afford to offend the divine envoy.

The consequences of offending the divine envoy were more than the White Night Sacred Palace could bear.

If he were alone, he would rather die than retreat a single step.

But now he was the lord of the White Night Palace, representing the entire White Night Sacred Palace.

"Very well..."

Bai Chen finally made way.

"Hmph!"

Qingfeng snorted coldly and walked straight past Bai Chen.

Mo Yun sighed, stepped forward, and patted Bai Chen on the shoulder. "Let's go and take a look. Let's just hope that Lord Ye Yuan is not at a critical moment right now."

Bai Chen nodded reluctantly and followed helplessly.

...

"This is Ye Yuan's seclusion site?"

"Yes, Divine Envoy. Sir..."

Bai Xiu was about to persuade him further, but Qingfeng directly cut him off with a gesture.

"The decree of the Divine Palace must not be defied! If he really is an intruder, no one can bear the responsibility! As for whether he is at a critical moment in his cultivation, that depends on his own fate!"

Qingfeng's voice was devoid of any emotion.

Clearly, this divine envoy held a lofty perspective.

At that moment, Qingfeng's aura surged, and he suddenly struck out with a palm, blasting it directly toward the door.

Bai Chen and the others' hearts were in their throats, wishing they could rush forward to block that strike.

But this palm strike was so powerful that even the great formation set up outside the cultivation chamber would be unable to withstand it.

"Boom!"

Without surprise, this palm shattered the great formation and struck the door of the cultivation chamber.

Yet at that very moment, an immensely sacred aura enveloped the entire courtyard, stirring in everyone an impulse to prostrate themselves in worship.

"Pfft!"

Qingfeng, as if struck by a heavy blow, spat out a large mouthful of blood mist, his body flying backward, and he fell unconscious.

Everyone stared at the scene in stunned silence, completely at a loss as to what had happened.

A sacred curtain of light descended from the sky, enveloping the entire cultivation chamber.

"This... what is going on? The aura coming from the cultivation chamber is terrifying. I... I actually feel an urge to flee."

"Could it be... that Lord Ye Yuan is a legendary divine son? Did the divine envoy just now blaspheme against divine majesty?"

"What on earth is Lord Ye Yuan cultivating? This is too terrifying! The divine envoy, a peak Insight Heaven expert, was directly shaken into unconsciousness!"

...

Seeing Qingfeng lying on the ground unconscious, Bai Chen, for some reason, felt a surge of satisfaction in his heart!

"This fellow brought it upon himself! Haha, Master Ye Yuan is still Master Ye Yuan, never to be judged by common sense!" Bai Chen rejoiced inwardly.

Before long, the light faded, and everything returned to calm.

"Creak!"

The door of the cultivation chamber opened from within, and Ye Yuan slowly walked out.

As soon as Ye Yuan appeared, the many divine path experts in the courtyard suddenly felt as if a mountain were pressing down on them.

The sacred aura on Ye Yuan was exactly the same as that of the light curtain just now!

Seeing so many people gathered in the courtyard, Ye Yuan asked with a puzzled expression, "What are you all doing here?"

Bai Chen came before Ye Yuan and briefly recounted recent events. Ye Yuan listened, his brows slightly furrowed.

This rumor was clearly deliberately spread by someone!

In an instant, Ye Yuan thought of many things.

Based on his understanding of Bai Chen, he would not do such a thing.

Then, was it Mo Yun?

Or perhaps the Qiuyu Sacred Palace, unwilling to suffer such a great loss, had fabricated this rumor and spread it.

However, this rumor was not a lie; it was true.

Of course, there was another possibility: someone else knew his identity and wanted to use the power of the Tianlu Divine Palace to kill him!

All three scenarios were possible.

Could it be... that someone from the Wumeng Academy had also entered the Tianlu world?

Ye Yuan's heart sank, and an inexplicable anger burned in his belly.

It was not impossible!

The Qin family could even influence the decisions of the Wumeng City Lord. Knowing that he was in the Tianlu world and obtaining the coordinates of this world did not seem like an unimaginable thing!

Ye Yuan glanced at Bai Chen and frowned, "You're injured?"

He then looked at Qingfeng lying on the ground and said, "Was it that fellow who hit you?"
