Chapter 1458: The Power of the World!

The entire sky seemed to be twisted.

Ye Yuan felt a vast force ahead, and his whole body seemed to sink into a wad of cotton, unable to break free no matter how hard he struggled.

"It's the power of the world! The Wumeng City Lord himself has come!" Wuchen's voice rang out in Ye Yuan's mind.

Ye Yuan's heart sank to the bottom. What he feared most was this Wumeng City Lord, and now the man had indeed made his move.

He had originally thought that the Wumeng City Lord would disdain meddling in such matters.

It seemed he had miscalculated this time!

The relationship between this Wumeng City Lord and the Qin family was more extraordinary than he had imagined.

Knowing he couldn't escape, Ye Yuan simply gave up resisting.

Just then, Qin Zhaoyun and his two companions finally caught up.

Seeing this, Qin Zhaoyun laughed heartily and said, "Kid, weren't you good at running? Run for me now, why don't you!"

Ye Yuan sneered, "After eating dust behind your young master, you still dare to spout nonsense? Your face is thick enough!"

Qin Zhaoyun's face darkened, and he barked, "Kid, you're asking for death!"

Without another word, Qin Zhaoyun struck a palm directly at Ye Yuan.

"Boom!"

The powerful attack seemed to hit a sponge. Ye Yuan, entangled by the power of the world, couldn't dodge and took the blow head-on.

"Pfft!"

Ye Yuan spat out a mouthful of blood, his body drifting downward like a kite with a broken string.

But the power of the world still enveloped him, keeping him suspended in the air without falling.

If not for the power of the world deflecting most of the force, Ye Yuan would already be dead.

"Hey, kid, weren't you arrogant just now? Show me your arrogance again!"

Having landed a hit, Qin Zhaoyun felt immensely relieved.

"Old dog! Remember this: I'll repay today's debt a hundredfold in the future!" Ye Yuan glared angrily, gritting his teeth.

"Heh, are you still dreaming, kid? Even Lord Qin Xiao has made a move, and you think you have a future?" Qin Zhaoyun said smugly.

At Qin Zhaoyun's words, not only Ye Yuan but also Zhao Yi and Wen Yiyang changed expression.

The city lord's surname was actually Qin!

That explained everything!

No wonder the Qin family had dominated Wumeng Royal City over the years, suppressing all other families and standing alone.

No wonder the Qin family disciples were so arrogant, and the city lord's mansion turned a blind eye.

It all stemmed from the city lord's surname!

"Zhaoyun, you've said too much!"

An icy voice rang out, and a majestic middle-aged man stepped out from the void.

Ye Yuan's gaze sharpened. This middle-aged man was the same one he had seen during the entrance test!

Seeing Qin Xiao, Qin Zhaoyun's expression changed, and he bowed, "Yes, City Lord. Zhaoyun was wrong!"

Qin Xiao hummed in acknowledgment and said lightly, "I am an adopted son of the Qin family, not a blood relative. After hearing this today, you are not to mention it to anyone else!"

Feeling Qin Xiao's profound gaze, Wen Yiyang and Zhao Yi were startled and quickly bowed, "Yes, City Lord!"

In Wumeng Royal City, Qin Xiao rarely appeared in public, and no one had ever known his name.

This matter was probably unknown even to Qin Tiannan.

Only top figures like Qin Zhaoyun in the Qin family knew Qin Xiao's true identity.

Over a hundred thousand years ago, Qin Xiao had received a great favor from the Qin family, leading to his current achievements.

But too much time had passed, and no one remembered.

Qin Xiao slowly turned to face Ye Yuan and said lightly, "Ye Yuan, you have extraordinary talent, and your future achievements will surely surpass mine. Unfortunately, you shouldn't have made an enemy of the Qin family."

Ye Yuan glared at Qin Xiao, showing no fear of a Divine Lord realm expert, and spat, "Pah! You can't tell right from wrong, indulging the Qin family's misdeeds. You're unworthy of being city lord! If I had known this day would come, I would have chopped that fourth-grade divine pill in half back then, rather than feeding it to a dog!"

"Sss..."

Wen Yiyang and Zhao Yi were both shocked. Someone actually dared to speak to a Divine Lord realm expert like that!

This kid truly had no regard for the rules!

Qin Zhaoyun, on the other hand, sneered inwardly.

Go ahead and curse; the more vicious, the faster you'll die!

However, Qin Xiao's composure was far better than Ye Yuan had imagined.

He only said lightly, "The Qin family has shown me kindness. What wrong have I done? After you returned from the Hundred Cities Trial, I already hinted that you shouldn't oppose the Qin family. Yet you were stubborn, refusing to repent, and even went further!"

Ye Yuan laughed heartily, "Repent? Hahaha... That's a laugh! Who do you think you are to make your grandfather repent?"

The three behind him were terrified. Ye Yuan was too arrogant. That was a Divine Lord realm expert, a god-like existence!

Though they were all half-step Divine Lord realm, they were nothing before a true Divine Lord.

A Divine Lord realm expert opens a small world and wields the power of the world, something unimaginable for those in the three Divine Path realms.

The closer they were to the Divine Lord realm, the more they revered it!

Those who reached this level were all unparalleled geniuses.

Yet Ye Yuan didn't take Qin Xiao seriously at all!

Qin Xiao glanced at Ye Yuan and said lightly, "In this world, the strong rule. I control a world and govern a royal city. If I tell you to repent, you repent! The consequence of not repenting... is death!"

With that, Qin Xiao lightly pointed a finger, and a terrifying aura instantly condensed.

Qin Zhaoyun and the others looked on with grave expressions.

This was the strength of a Divine Lord realm expert!

"Now!"

Ye Yuan's gaze sharpened, and he suddenly burst into motion, shooting out like an arrow from a bow.

Qin Zhaoyun and the others were stunned, and even Qin Xiao's eyes narrowed.

Ye Yuan had broken through his power of the world!

A mere Insightful Heavens initial stage kid had broken through a Divine Lord realm expert's power of the world!

This... this was utterly unbelievable.

This feat was even more shocking than Ye Yuan killing the five geniuses.

Ye Yuan pushed his divine essence to the limit, fleeing desperately.

Waiting to be captured was never his style.

As long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would give a hundred percent effort!

The so-called power of the world was merely an application of the Heavenly Dao.

It seemed mysterious and unfathomable, but Ye Yuan had the Small Tongtian Mountain!

Outwardly, he was trading insults with Qin Xiao and the others, but inwardly, he had been communicating with the Small Tongtian Mountain.

Since he could simulate the Heavenly Dao of the Tianlu World, he could naturally break through Qin Xiao's power of the world!

After a moment of shock, Qin Xiao smiled coldly and said, "Interesting, but... useless!"

As he spoke, Qin Xiao took a step forward, covering a thousand miles in an instant!

Ye Yuan's speed was already extreme, but Qin Xiao surpassed him in an instant!

"I'm quite curious to see what secrets you hold." Qin Xiao smiled and pointed a finger. Ye Yuan felt the entire heaven and earth pressing down on him.

"Whoosh!"

Qin Xiao's eyes narrowed. Ye Yuan had vanished from before his eyes!
