Chapter 1933: The Whole City Shaken

"Hall Master Mu Feng actually apologized to Ye Yuan!"

"Incredible! Hall Master Mu Feng is a peerless powerhouse at the peak of True God, yet he apologized to a junior at the Divine Lord realm!"

"What do you know? Ye Yuan completely defeated Yu Ying; his strength is probably already at the Dan Chen level, making him a figure on par with Hall Master Mu Feng! Someone like that, even Hall Master Mu Feng wouldn't want to offend. Besides, this matter was originally Qingfeng Hall's fault."

...

The fat hall master's action caused a stir among the crowd.

Mu Feng's status was among the highest in Jinhuan Great Emperor's capital; ordinary people couldn't even get a chance to see him.

If it were anyone else, even if Qingfeng Hall was in the wrong, he wouldn't have bowed his head and admitted fault.

But who would have thought he would apologize to a Divine Lord?

"Hall Master..."

Yu Ying and Jiang Yuan were greatly alarmed and were about to speak, but Mu Feng stopped them with a gesture.

The two looked ashamed and lowered their heads in embarrassment.

They had caused the trouble, yet the hall master had to clean up their mess.

Ye Yuan looked at the fat man and smiled, "Whether Elder Yu leaves or not doesn't matter much to me. But I've truly experienced Qingfeng Hall's overbearing ways. Since the hall master himself has spoken today, I naturally have no reason to be unreasonable. This matter ends here."

Ye Yuan was self-aware; after all, he was only a Divine Lord.

Since Mu Feng had apologized to him in front of so many people, he naturally couldn't keep pressing Yu Ying.

However, he had already developed a grudge against Qingfeng Hall in his heart, and he wasn't buying Mu Feng's goodwill.

This matter was merely over for now.

Ye Yuan had no goodwill whatsoever toward Qingfeng Hall.

Whether it was Jiang Hua or Yu Ying, the impressions they left on Ye Yuan were truly deep.

The fat hall master still wore a full smile, seemingly unbothered by Ye Yuan's attitude, and laughed, "Young friend Ye is magnanimous; Qingfeng Hall is deeply grateful. Elders Yu and Jiang, why not thank Young friend Ye?"

Hearing this, the two quickly bowed in salute.

Ye Yuan nodded slightly, acknowledging it.

No one expected that a huge conflict would be resolved like this.

Even less did they expect that such a large hall as Qingfeng Hall would apologize to a Divine Lord!

The battle between Ye Yuan and Yu Ying also spread at the fastest speed throughout the Dan Chen Pavilion and Jinhuan Great Emperor's capital.

Then, Ye Yuan's background was dug up.

The whole city was shocked!

Previously, there had been many speculations about Ye Yuan.

Some said he came from some Heavenly Emperor's dojo, some said he was from a reclusive clan, and some even said he had countless connections with the Medicine Ancestor.

But no one expected that Ye Yuan merely came from a small imperial city.

Going further back, he even came from a small prefectural city!

An alchemist with no background, in just over a thousand years, had defeated a Black Scale alchemist—such talent was truly earth-shattering!

For a time, Ye Yuan became the object of admiration for countless alchemists.

Within the Dan Chen Pavilion, several Dan Chen-level powerhouses were equally shocked.

Especially Shen Chang; he didn't know what words to use to describe the turmoil in his heart.

"Could it be that the Jade Flower Healing Heart Pill was really refined by him? A five-star Divine Alchemist refining a divine-grade Jade Flower Healing Heart Pill—this... how is this possible?" Shen Chang felt his mind couldn't keep up.

Although he had vaguely guessed before, he actually didn't quite believe it.

First, Ye Yuan's performance on the Purple Xuan Arena had gradually stabilized; second, this kind of thing was too unbelievable.

But now that Ye Yuan had refined an eighth-grade pill and produced a Haoling divine-grade, it seemed not so hard to understand that he could refine a ninth-grade pill to divine grade.

Chen Yu's eyes flashed with surprise, saying, "So, he's already qualified to enter the Dan Chen Pavilion! I'm afraid that in refining fifth-tier divine pills, we can't even compare to him!"

The others looked at each other in dismay.

A divine-grade Jade Flower Healing Heart Pill—could any of them refine it in one go?

Unless a blind cat caught a dead mouse, otherwise it was impossible.

But Ye Yuan had refined it!

The thought of a five-star Divine Alchemist entering the Dan Chen Pavilion struck them as very strange.

Shen Chang was speechless, recalling how at the Bai Cao Ji he had earnestly advised Ye Yuan; it was truly laughable.

He realized that Ye Yuan didn't have the impatience typical of his age; instead, he was extremely steady.

If it were any other young person with Ye Yuan's talent, being wrongly accused that the pill wasn't their own refinement, they would have exploded long ago.

But Ye Yuan didn't!

Not only did he not, but he also humbly accepted his advice.

If Ye Yuan had confronted him then and refined the pill in front of everyone, his old face would have had nowhere to hide.

Now looking back, Shen Chang felt nothing but gratitude and admiration for Ye Yuan.

Young but with such breadth of mind—this was not something ordinary people could achieve.

"Heh, the Dan Chen Pavilion hasn't added a new member in a hundred thousand years, has it? It's time for a new member to join. Ye Yuan entering the Dan Chen Pavilion is definitely a great thing for us and for the Dan Chen Pavilion!" Shen Chang said.

Chen Yu also nodded, "This child's future is limitless; his joining the Dan Chen Pavilion will only make its reputation even greater."

...

Thud!

With a slight push from Jiang Yuan, Jiang Hua knelt before Ye Yuan.

"Brother Ye, I am truly sorry! It was my failure to discipline that nearly caused a catastrophe. Today, I bring this scoundrel before you for your judgment!" Jiang Yuan clasped his hands toward Ye Yuan.

That day, after Jiang Hua left the Dan Chen Pavilion, he tried to slip away.

Unfortunately, Qingfeng Hall's influence was too great; once the entire hall mobilized to capture a Divine Lord, where could he escape?

A few days later, Jiang Hua was caught in a civilian residence.

Today, Mu Feng and Jiang Yuan escorted Jiang Hua to the Yi Xiang Residence and brought him before Ye Yuan.

Jiang Hua's eyes were filled with despair; he crawled toward Ye Yuan, kowtowing repeatedly, "Lord Ye Yuan, spare me! It was I who was blind! It was I who was blind!"

Ye Yuan looked at Jiang Hua and said indifferently, "That day at the gate, you barred me from entering; that was no big deal. If you wouldn't let me see Elder Jiang, I would find my own way to see him. But the one thing you should never have done was send someone to kill me. Since you harbored murderous intent, it becomes a matter of life and death. How can I spare you?"

Hearing this, Jiang Hua said in despair, "Lord Ye Yuan, this lowly one knows his wrongs! I truly know my wrongs! Please spare me!"

Ye Yuan couldn't be bothered with him and said to Jiang Yuan indifferently, "Elder Jiang, you brought him here; you decide."

Jiang Yuan also hated Jiang Hua to the bone and said coldly, "Jiang Hua, I have treated you well over the years, but who would have thought you'd repay kindness with enmity! Your intentions were so malicious; you nearly plunged me into eternal damnation! If I don't kill you today, this hatred will not be assuaged!"

Jiang Hua was about to say more, but Jiang Yuan struck his palm on his forehead, killing him on the spot.
