Chapter 1905: Handling a Heavy Task with Ease

Fei Mingtian was trembling with rage, but he could do nothing about it.

His identity was extraordinary; if he actually made a move, it would mean a complete falling-out with the City Lord's Mansion.

Fei Mingtian snorted coldly and flicked his sleeves, leaving.

However, he did not leave the area but instead withdrew to the side to observe the execution.

"Dean Fei, what do we do now?" Li Zi'an asked.

Fei Mingtian sighed and said, "This matter is not easy to handle! Our Kongming Academy is already in a precarious position, and the City Lord's Mansion probably... is hoping we'll have a falling-out with them!"

Li Zi'an said, "Then... what about Ye Yuan? If we don't save Jiang Yutang, he probably won't let it go."

Fei Mingtian shook his head and said, "Let's hope he doesn't act impulsively!"

Time passed minute by minute, but there was no sign of Ye Yuan.

Yu Jinsong grew somewhat impatient and said flatly, "Carry out the execution!"

"The hour has come, carry out the execution!" his subordinate announced loudly.

The executioner received the order and approached Jiang Yutang with a small knife.

Executioners used special magical instruments for their work.

For Divine Path experts, even cutting off their heads would not kill them.

Only by deeply comprehending the laws of power and destroying all their vitality could they be killed.

Most executioners were not very strong, so naturally they lacked this ability.

Yu Jinsong suddenly stood up and said loudly, "Ye Yuan, I know you're here. Aren't you very formidable? Why don't you dare to come out? Or is it that you've taken a liking to Jiang Haitang and will only save her, not her father? You coward, if you have the guts, come out! If you don't come out soon, Jiang Yutang will die!"

Jiang Yutang's expression changed, and he roared, "Ye Yuan, don't come out! Thank you for saving Haitang; I have no more worries! They've set up a net with sky-high coverage, waiting for you to show yourself. You must not come out!"

A cruel smile flashed across Yu Jinsong's lips; Jiang Yutang's words would only provoke Ye Yuan to show himself.

"I'm here!" Just then, a voice suddenly rang out.

But the voice was too close, as if right in their ears.

Suddenly, Yu Jinsong's scalp tingled, and an extremely dangerous feeling surged into his heart. Instinctively, he wanted to flee.

But it was already too late!

A figure appeared abruptly beside him, and a blue thread suddenly coiled around him!

Catching the unprepared off guard, how could Ye Yuan give him a chance to escape?

Without any surprise, Yu Jinsong was trapped in the Divine Rune Space!

Soon, the Divine Rune Space dissipated, and a sword was pressed against Yu Jinsong's neck.

In that brief moment, Ye Yuan had already sealed Yu Jinsong's Divine Sea.

Everyone looked and saw that Ye Yuan was actually wearing the uniform of an ordinary city guard.

So, he had been hiding among the city guards.

And his target was not Jiang Yutang at all, but Yu Jinsong!

This scene happened too fast; before anyone could react, Yu Jinsong had already become a prisoner.

Yu Jinsong was a powerful expert at the Ninth Heaven of the Divine Realm, yet no one expected that he would be subdued by Ye Yuan without even a chance to resist.

The city guards were very close to Yu Jinsong, a distance that for Ye Yuan was merely the blink of an eye.

And given Yu Jinsong's strength, Ye Yuan could not have succeeded in a single strike.

Thus, he had planned it long ago, using the Divine Rune Space to restrain his opponent.

This series of moves was executed in one smooth flow, giving the three True God powerhouses no time to react.

Fei Mingtian looked at Ye Yuan in shock, full of disbelief.

No one had expected that Ye Yuan would think of using such a method to save Jiang Yutang.

"This young man is bold and meticulous, with extraordinary talent. Truly formidable!" Fei Mingtian said in astonishment.

Boom!

Three terrifying auras shot into the sky, and the three true god powerhouses lying in ambush nearby finally showed themselves.

The three surrounded Ye Yuan, but dared not approach.

The crowd erupted in uproar, only then realizing that to deal with Ye Yuan, the city lord's mansion had dispatched three true god powerhouses.

And one of them was even at the second level of the true god realm!

Yet, these three true god powerhouses didn't even have a chance to act before Yu Jinsong was kidnapped right under their noses.

Such methods were simply unimaginable.

Yu Jinsong had laid an inescapable net to capture Ye Yuan, but instead of catching him, he had gotten himself caught.

The three true god powerhouses had become mere ornaments.

"Kid, release Jinsong at once, and we'll spare your life!" said the true god powerhouse at the second level.

Ye Yuan looked at him as if he were an idiot, then directly slapped Yu Jinsong across the face.

Smack!

A crisp sound echoed clearly across the entire square.

Many couldn't help touching their own faces, as if the slap had landed on them.

"This slap is for Haitang!" Ye Yuan said calmly, without any emotion.

After one slap, half of Yu Jinsong's face was already swollen high.

"You... you dare hit me?" Yu Jinsong mumbled indistinctly, looking at Ye Yuan with disbelief.

Smack!

The response was a second slap.

"This slap is for Brother Jiang! These two slaps count as interest. I'll take your dog life later. Now, release the prisoner!" Ye Yuan said indifferently.

The crowd looked at Ye Yuan with expressions of admiration.

So domineering!

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed that someone could toy with the entire city lord's mansion.

Such composure, such strength, such ease—definitely not something an ordinary person could pull off.

Two slaps had turned Yu Jinsong into a pig's head.

Jiang Yutang stared blankly at Ye Yuan, as if he didn't recognize him.

After centuries apart, Ye Yuan's strength had actually become terrifying to such an extent.

Upon hearing Yu Jinsong's words, Jiang Yutang had worried that he would implicate Ye Yuan.

But who would have thought that Ye Yuan would pull such a stunt, capturing Yu Jinsong as a hostage.

"Ye Yuan, you can't escape!" Yu Jinsong said indistinctly.

"With you here, how could I not escape?" Ye Yuan replied calmly.

"Re... release Jiang Yutang. What if you kill me? You can release him, but you must swear a heavenly oath that you will never kill me!" Yu Jinsong said.

Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Fine!"

Ye Yuan had never intended to kill Yu Jinsong, and he knew he couldn't.

Capturing him was only to save Jiang Yutang.

Soon, Ye Yuan swore the heavenly oath, which put Yu Jinsong at ease.

"Re... release him!" Yu Jinsong ordered.

Jiang Yutang's handcuffs and shackles were unlocked. Regaining his freedom, he felt as if he were dreaming.

"Get out of the way!" Ye Yuan said to the three true god powerhouses.

The three true god powerhouses, fearing to act rashly, could only make way.

Ye Yuan pushed Yu Jinsong to the execution ground and said to Jiang Yutang, "Brother Jiang, Ye Yuan came late and made you suffer. I have failed you and Haitang."

Jiang Yutang shook his head and said, "That was my debt to you. That you would go this far for me, your brother—I didn't befriend you in vain."
