Chapter 1776: I Give Him to You

Tiger Heart's mind jolted violently, and his body shot out in a burst of speed.

Having broken through to the late fourth stage, Tiger Heart's speed surged. In the blink of an eye, he reached Ye Yuan's side, hoisted him onto his back, and fled.

Having taken a hit, Ye Yuan's internal organs churned, and he was severely injured.

At this moment, however, Ning Tianping was surrounded and found it hard to break free.

Ye Yuan forcibly suppressed his injuries and waved his hand, sending out a dozen sword beams that cut down the beasts directly.

"Go!"

Ye Yuan shouted coldly, pulling Ning Tianping onto the tiger's back with him.

Behind them, a horde of beasts gave relentless chase.

Fortunately, Tiger Heart was extremely fast, and the beasts could not catch up for now.

"Milord, are you alright?" Ning Tianping asked with concern.

Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "I'm fine! Let me recover from my injuries first!"

With that, Ye Yuan swallowed a pill and began healing directly on Tiger Heart's back.

That blow from the Cang Lei Mang Niu Beast was extremely heavy; an ordinary Divine Lord at the Fifth Heaven would have been obliterated.

"This Heavenly Dao Tattoo is indeed formidable. Otherwise, even with my Nine Revolutions Golden Body, I'm afraid I couldn't have withstood that blow," Ye Yuan mused inwardly.

That time he entered the Boundary Mist of Tongtian Mountain and obtained this Heavenly Dao Tattoo had truly brought him endless benefits.

After a short while, Ye Yuan's complexion gradually became ruddy.

"Milord, those beasts are like madmen, chasing us relentlessly!" said Tiger Heart.

Ye Yuan's expression darkened slightly as he said, "These beasts seem to be trying to drive us somewhere! I feel like they're being controlled by something."

From the very beginning, Ye Yuan had sensed that the beasts' state was abnormal.

At these words, both Tiger Heart and Ning Tianping's expressions changed drastically.

"This... what should we do?" Ning Tianping asked worriedly.

Ye Yuan pondered for a moment, a look of determination in his eyes, and said, "Since someone wants to see us, then let's go and meet them!"

Ning Tianping and Tiger Heart were naturally very worried, but since Ye Yuan had made the decision, they resolutely carried it out.

Ye Yuan certainly did not want to take risks, but if the white light was cast in, then he too might be in danger.

That being the case, he had to take this risk.

As they fled, a deep cave entrance appeared ahead.

Before they even got close, a gust of eerie wind swept over, sending chills down the spines of the three.

"Milord, such terrifying yin energy! There must be an extremely powerful entity inside!" said Ning Tianping.

Ye Yuan's expression darkened and said, "Enter!"

Tiger Heart did not hesitate for a moment; with a few swift strides, he dashed straight inside.

"Milord, those beasts... seem to have stopped chasing!" said Tiger Heart.

Ye Yuan nodded and said, "It seems someone wants us to come in here! Let's go inside; I want to see what kind of ghostly thing is in here."

...

Just as Ye Yuan and his companions disappeared, four or five figures appeared at the cave entrance.

Each of these people rode a mount.

"Heh, that fifth-rank evil spirit inside—we were just worrying about how to deal with it, and now two scapegoats have delivered themselves to us," said a man in gray robes.

The gray-robed man rode a white tiger, and his aura was extremely powerful.

"The senior brother is truly brilliant! Evil spirits love to possess humans. Once it possesses those two scapegoats, it will inevitably be in a weakened state. Then we can reap the benefits without lifting a finger. The Yin Spirit Stones and Nine Yin Soul-Devouring Grass in the Black Spirit Cave will be ours!" said a woman in a fiery red dress beside the gray-robed man.

"Haha, as long as we get these two items, our Imperial Spirit Sect will surely come out on top in this trial," said another person.

The gray-robed man added, "Speaking of which, that guy at the Divine Lord Fifth Heaven is quite strong! Under the siege of over a hundred beasts, he managed to escape unscathed. If his cultivation were higher, even we might not be his match."

At this, the others' expressions turned slightly solemn.

In fact, Ye Yuan and his companions' actions had been under their surveillance all along.

But the combat prowess Ye Yuan displayed left them all astonished.

A Divine Lord at the Fifth Heaven, under the siege of a group of late fourth-stage beasts, could still escape unscathed.

What was even more terrifying was that among them was a peak late fourth-stage beast.

Initially, they had only intended to scare Ye Yuan and drive him away.

As for Tiger Heart's life or death, they did not care at all.

Who would have thought that Ye Yuan did not flee but instead charged alone into the beast horde.

Fortunately, that peak late fourth-stage beast was powerful enough to suppress Ye Yuan.

Otherwise, they would have had a hard time manipulating the situation.

Even so, they were shocked by the combat prowess Ye Yuan displayed.

The woman in red also showed a surprised expression and said, "This guy's cultivation method is different from ours; he probably came from the Tongtian Realm. Could it be... that all martial artists in the Tongtian Realm are this powerful?"

The gray-robed man shook his head and said, "Impossible! That kid must be a top-tier genius in the Tongtian Realm! Sword Dao Law fused with Triple Heaven Space Law—such talent is rare in the world. Even in the Tongtian Realm, he could not be an unknown figure; he must be a top disciple of a major power. But that's none of our business now; he's dead anyway. Let's go in. That kid is probably already possessed. If we delay any longer, it won't be good for us."

With that, the group entered the cave together.

This cave was very similar to the Yin Wind Cave Ye Yuan had entered back then, but the evil spirits inside were clearly much more powerful than those in the Yin Wind Cave.

However, the strength of these Imperial Spirit Sect members was also extremely formidable.

In particular, the gray-robed man had reached the Half-Step Divine God level, making him the most powerful among the group.

Ordinary evil spirits could not even get close to them.

The group gradually went deeper, becoming especially cautious.

Suddenly, two figures appeared ahead. The gray-robed man looked closely and saw that it was none other than Ye Yuan and Ning Tianping.

The gray-robed man swept his gaze across the cave and found that the fifth-rank evil spirit was indeed gone. He was overjoyed.

"Hahaha, you two fools, you've indeed possessed these two humans! Now, I'll send you on your way. The Yin Spirit Stones and Nine Yin Soul-Devouring Grass belong to our Imperial Spirit Sect!" the gray-robed man laughed loudly.

Just then, an icy aura emanated from Ye Yuan.

He suddenly spoke, looking at the gray-robed man and said, "You... deserve to die!"

The gray-robed man was unperturbed and said calmly, "I deserve to die? Hahaha, if you were at full strength, I might fear you a bit. But in your current state, you'd better spare me such threats!"

Ye Yuan's gaze was icy cold, and his body exuded a chilling aura.

A terrifying figure drifted out from Ye Yuan's body.

The gray-robed man's expression changed drastically, and he said in disbelief, "This... how is this possible? You... you haven't been possessed?"

Ye Yuan sneered and said, "So fond of being possessed? Then, I give him to you!"
