Chapter 1621: Robbing the Rich to Aid the Poor

Gao Yuan's face darkened, and he said coldly, "What do you mean by that?"

Ye Yuan was completely unmoved by Gao Yuan's murderous intent, and merely said indifferently, "Old Gao, you don't really think I'm a pushover, do you? There wouldn't have been so much trouble if you hadn't fanned the flames and tried to suppress me with the righteousness of the human race. You clearly covet the treasure, yet you pretend to be righteous. Do you take me for a three-year-old? Trying to disgust me? This is the price of disgusting me!"

The scene fell silent, and everyone looked at Ye Yuan in astonishment.

Daring to speak to a half-step divine realm expert like that—Ye Yuan was probably the only one.

After all, although a half-step divine was not a true divine expert, once he took that step, he would be a being who looked down on the world.

That was why those people wanted to curry favor with Gao Yuan and crowd out Ye Yuan.

Gao Yuan's chest heaved like a bellows, his anger making him breathe heavily.

His face was as dark as water, cold to the extreme, and he said icily, "Do you really think I wouldn't dare touch you?"

The aura of a half-step divine burst forth, and the immense pressure once again enveloped everyone.

But Ye Yuan was not afraid at all, and said calmly, "You don't dare! So many people are waiting for me to take them down. If you kill me, you'll be the enemy of the entire human race!"

Gao Yuan choked at these words, and the momentum he had just gathered dissipated instantly.

This kid... had unknowingly completely turned the situation around!

Now, this kid was using this reason to threaten him.

And he seemed to have no way to counter it!

Zheng Qi, standing by, was inwardly shocked.

This Ye Yuan not only had terrifying talent but also such superb tactics.

Originally, if he wasn't careful, the Tianying Imperial City and he himself would have been dragged into the mess.

But in the blink of an eye, the situation had been reversed by him.

Now Ye Yuan had turned the tables, and Gao Yuan could only swallow his bitterness and say nothing.

But seeing Gao Yuan suffer, Zheng Qi felt immensely satisfied.

Gao Yuan was so angry he wished he could tear Ye Yuan apart.

But Ye Yuan was right—he really didn't dare!

Name your price!" Gao Yuan said through gritted teeth.

He never imagined he would be driven to a dead end by a wet-behind-the-ears kid.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I'll give you a discount: two people for one Divine Lord Mystic Treasure!"

Gao Yuan's eyes bulged, and he roared, "What did you say? How can you say that? Do you think Divine Lord Mystic Treasures are as common as street goods?"

The crowd behind Ye Yuan stared wide-eyed, full of shock.

This Elder Ye was really asking for a sky-high price!

Ye Yuan shrugged and said, "You're a half-step divine realm expert; surely you have a few unused Divine Lord Mystic Treasures on you? Using them to exchange for an opportunity for the younger generation of Zhining Imperial City is more than worth it. Or are you so selfish that you're unwilling to contribute to Zhining Imperial City?"

Gao Yuan was so angry his beard bristled, but he was helpless.

This kid really had a sharp tongue!

I do have Divine Lord Mystic Treasures, but why should I give them to you for nothing?

"Kid, if you dare take my things, be careful not to choke on them!" Gao Yuan said viciously.

"Heh, my appetite is excellent, no need for you to worry. Hurry up, don't dawdle; everyone's waiting to go down!" Ye Yuan said calmly.

Gao Yuan, as if squeezing toothpaste, took out three Divine Lord Mystic Treasures and said coldly, "Kid, what you've taken from me, you'll have to spit out sooner or later!"

Ye Yuan took the Divine Lord Treasures and directly tossed a sword to Ning Tianping, saying indifferently, "You don't have a Divine Lord Treasure yet, do you? This sword is for you. Hmm, who among you still lacks a Divine Lord Treasure?"

Ning Tianping, as a guardian of the Martial Tower and Ye Yuan's attendant, naturally followed.

He took the longsword, his heart surging with excitement.

Although the Ning family was a major clan in Tianying Imperial City, it couldn't provide every member with a Divine Lord Treasure.

Only an old immortal like Gao Yuan, who had explored countless secret realms and pulled countless dirty tricks, would have so many Divine Lord Treasures on him.

Though Ning Tianping was close to reaching the third level of the Divine Lord realm, he indeed had no Divine Lord Treasure in hand.

Now that he had one, he was confident he could defeat a third-level Divine Lord with ease.

Even against a fourth-level Divine Lord, he would have the strength to fight!

"Thank you, Elder Ye!" Ning Tianping bowed.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Since you follow me, I have to secure some benefits for you."

Soon, Ye Yuan distributed the other two Divine Lord Treasures, thrilling those who received them.

The Tianying Imperial City side was excited, because counting heads, the opposite side had to produce at least two more Divine Lord Treasures to take everyone away.

The Zhining Imperial City delegation was sizable, totaling nearly twenty people.

Including Gao Yuan, there were four above the seventh level of the Divine Lord realm. Each could take two or three, leaving about ten people unable to descend.

To get everyone down, they had to offer Divine Lord Treasures.

Gao Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "Mo Hui, Zhu Yuncai, each of you hand over another Divine Lord Treasure!"

Mo Hui and Zhu Yuncai, both eighth-level Divine Lord powerhouses, felt their hearts bleed at Gao Yuan's words.

You stir up trouble, and now you want us to clean up your mess!

But facing Gao Yuan, they dared not speak out in anger and could only each produce a Divine Lord Treasure.

After receiving them, Ye Yuan distributed them directly.

This greatly boosted the strength of the Tianying Imperial City side.

Zheng Qi said, "Ye Yuan, with so many Divine Lord Treasures, why didn't you keep one for yourself?"

Ye Yuan smiled and replied, "Grand Elder, do I look like someone who lacks Divine Lord Treasures?"

"Uh..." Zheng Qi was taken aback.

Now Ye Yuan was like a nouveau riche, exuding the aura of a tycoon from head to toe.

These were five Divine Lord Treasures, and he gave them away without batting an eye.

Seeing this, Gao Yuan was so furious his face turned green, almost spitting out a mouthful of old blood.

You don't lack Divine Lord Treasures, so why the hell are you scamming me!

As if reading his mind, Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I just think that a strong man like Old Gao should show some consideration for lower-level martial artists. Anyway, he can't use these things, so it's better to bring them out and boost everyone's strength. This way, the overall power of humanity will increase quite a bit, don't you think? Although I don't like Old Gao, he's made a contribution to humanity this time. If anyone gains an opportunity, they should remember his kindness."

"Pfft!"

Gao Yuan finally succumbed to rage, spitting out a mouthful of old blood.

This kid was simply too much!

"Oh dear, my great Elder Gao, take it easy. You are the pillar of humanity, someone who might step into the Divine Realm. If something happens to you, that would be terrible!" Ye Yuan quickly said.

Zheng Qi, hearing Ye Yuan's teasing concern, couldn't stop laughing on the side.

In tens of thousands of years, he had never laughed as happily as he did today.

"Alright, time is running out. We can't let the demons get the upper hand. We need to descend. In a moment, I'll use spatial laws. Don't resist, or if you get lost in space, don't blame me," Ye Yuan said.
