Chapter 1772: Bad News

"Human, you wish to see me?"

Before him stood a majestic tiger, a full man's height, speaking human tongue, its gaze fixed on Ye Yuan, exuding a terrifying aura.

"Plop!"

Ye Yuan, showing no fear, reached out and gently pushed Hei Tong before the Sky Tiger King.

"This is the one who gravely wounded Huxin! I can heal Huxin, but I need to see Bai Guang first," Ye Yuan said calmly.

The Sky Tiger King's gaze sharpened, and he said in a deep voice, "Boy, are you bargaining with me? Do you think you have the leverage to bargain before me?"

Ye Yuan glanced at him and replied evenly, "I'm not bargaining with you; I'm giving you a chance. I hope Bai Guang is unharmed, otherwise... the entire Sky Tiger Mountain will be buried with you for your stupidity!"

At that moment, beside the Sky Tiger King, there were at least seven or eight fifth-stage late-phase beasts.

On Sky Tiger Mountain, there were no fewer than several dozen fifth-stage beasts.

Hearing Ye Yuan's words, those beasts looked at each other, their expressions utterly comical.

This human boy was actually threatening the Sky Tiger King?

This kid must have lost his mind!

"Hahaha... I, the Sky Tiger King, have ruled Sky Tiger Mountain for over a hundred thousand years. I've even killed the lord of Huben Imperial City. Never has anyone dared speak such arrogant words before me! Boy, you've got guts!"

The Sky Tiger King burst into wild laughter; clearly, he took Ye Yuan's words as a joke.

If Ye Yuan hadn't said he could heal Huxin, he would have slapped him dead long ago.

But Ye Yuan remained serious and asked solemnly, "How is Bai Guang?"

The Sky Tiger King waved his paw dismissively and said casually, "Don't worry, I've locked him up. He suffered a bit, but he's fine. Once you heal Huxin, I'll release him immediately!"

Hearing this, Ye Yuan relaxed inwardly and said calmly, "As long as Bai Guang is safe, everything can be discussed. Lead the way!"

Under the Sky Tiger King's guidance, Ye Yuan arrived at a cave.

On a crude stone bed lay a striped tiger, breathing faintly.

The Sky Tiger King's face darkened. "Boy, don't let me find out you're playing me. You know the consequences."

In truth, he didn't hold much hope for Ye Yuan.

After all, Ye Yuan was only at the Divine Lord realm.

The high priests of Huben Imperial City had come and all said it was hopeless, telling him to prepare for the worst.

But he doted on this son, so since Ye Yuan had spoken, he had to let him try.

Ye Yuan ignored the Sky Tiger King, walked straight to the edge of the stone bed, placed his palm on Huxin's body, and sent strands of thick divine essence probing into Huxin's body.

Ye Yuan's brow furrowed tighter, and his hatred for Hei Tong surged.

That bastard had struck ruthlessly!

Huxin's internal organs had been nearly pulverized by Hei Tong, and the vitality within his body had almost dissipated.

Even with pills, Huxin could no longer absorb them.

No wonder even the five-star high priests were helpless.

For most people, this situation meant waiting for death.

The Sky Tiger King asked nervously, "Well, is there... is there hope?"

Ye Yuan nodded. "This guy is tough, holding on till now. Rest assured, as long as he's not dead, I can bring him back!"

Hearing Ye Yuan's words, the Sky Tiger King felt an inexplicable relief.

Ye Yuan took out a purple-black pill, held it in his palm, and suspended it above Huxin.

Ye Yuan slowly released his divine essence, guiding the medicinal power of the purple-black pill into Huxin's body.

Seeing this, the Heavenly Tiger King couldn't help narrowing his eyes and exclaimed in surprise, "This kid has such terrifying control!"

With the Heavenly Tiger King's keen eyesight, Ye Yuan's control over divine essence was truly frightening.

Not to mention himself, even the high priests of the Priest Temple could absolutely not achieve Ye Yuan's level.

Tiger Heart now had only a breath of life left and could no longer refine the medicinal power on his own.

If he could still swallow pills, the five-star high priest would naturally not be completely helpless.

At least, keeping him alive would still be possible.

Before leaving, that high priest had also said that Tiger Heart was not beyond saving, but no one had the fine control to transfer the medicinal power into Tiger Heart's body.

Even Palace Lord Jinhua could not do it!

Now, this little fourth-stage fellow had actually done it!

"This kid really has some skill! His control over divine essence is simply exquisite to the utmost," marveled the black tiger from before.

The Heavenly Tiger King said excitedly, "Haha, heaven does not wish for my son to die!"

The black tiger, somewhat worried, whispered, "Great King, this kid wants that white light. We..."

The Heavenly Tiger King's face darkened, his eyes glaring as he said in a deep voice, "Wait until he finishes treating! Do you want to die bringing this up now?"

Startled, the black tiger quickly backed off and dared not speak further.

Ye Yuan's treatment lasted three days and three nights.

Under the amazed gazes of the crowd, Tiger Heart's vitality grew from nothing, gradually strengthening.

Although the process was extremely slow, everyone present was skilled and could naturally sense the change in Tiger Heart's aura.

A smile involuntarily spread across the Heavenly Tiger King's tiger face.

Suddenly, Ye Yuan withdrew his palm, and the treatment came to an abrupt halt.

The Heavenly Tiger King's expression changed as he asked, "Kid, what do you mean by this?"

Ye Yuan slowly stood up and wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead.

This method of transferring medicinal power was too exhausting. Even he, after three consecutive days and nights of casting, felt greatly fatigued.

But that was not the reason he stopped.

Ye Yuan looked at the Heavenly Tiger King and said calmly, "Tiger Heart can now live for a few more months without issue. I can continue treating him, but I want to see the white light first!"

The reason he had unconditionally helped treat Tiger Heart was only to let them know he had the ability.

But his goal was the white light.

Without seeing the white light, he would not proceed further.

Ye Yuan had long inquired about the Heavenly Tiger King's character.

He naturally would not fully trust the Heavenly Tiger King's words.

The Heavenly Tiger King's expression changed as he said, "I told you, once you cure Tiger Heart, I will naturally release the person."

Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "I want to see the white light first!"

The Heavenly Tiger King's face turned extremely ugly, and he couldn't help looking at the black tiger.

Ye Yuan's face darkened, and he immediately had a bad feeling. He said coldly, "What exactly happened to the white light! If you dare deceive me, your son will never get better!"

Knowing he could no longer hide it, the Heavenly Tiger King snorted coldly and said, "He's dead!"

Buzz!

Ye Yuan's vision went black, and he staggered, nearly falling to the ground.

His mind suddenly exploded, and endless grief instantly filled his entire body.

Pfft!

Overwhelmed by grief, Ye Yuan directly spat out a mouthful of blood mist.
