Chapter 2009: Celestial Venerable, So What?

Lü Yan's face turned livid with rage. Since he had become a Celestial Venerable, no one had dared speak to him like this.

But Ye Yuan's first words were that he had lost his mind.

Defying a Celestial Venerable was a grave crime!

His eyes narrowed, and he said coldly, "How dare you! My words are law! If I say you die, you die! Since you dare defy me, today you won't even be able to die if you want to!"

Beside him, Deng Yunzai said coldly, "Brother Lü, why waste words with him? Just take this kid down, grind his bones to dust, and refine his soul alive. Let's see if he still dares to be so arrogant!"

Ye Yuan heard this, but a mocking smile appeared on his face as he sneered, "Grind bones to dust? Refine his soul alive? What ruthless methods you have, sir!"

Deng Yunzai snorted coldly, "What, scared? Too late! Before us Celestial Venerables, you are nothing but an ant! What's more, standing before you are three Celestial Venerables! Your tricks are nothing in our eyes! But... to have stirred the three of us to come in person, you can be proud of yourself!"

In Deng Yunzai's view, a mere True God at the third level being able to stir three great Celestial Venerables to descend personally was something worth being proud of.

How noble was the status of a Celestial Venerable?

Ordinarily, they wouldn't deign to act against a mere True God.

But today, they had made an exception.

The martial artists in the city saw Ye Yuan confronting the Celestial Venerable experts head-on, and their souls nearly flew out of their bodies.

"That's a Celestial Venerable expert! Lord Ye Yuan is already clashing with him?"

"Lord Ye Yuan is unbending! If I were standing before a Celestial Venerable, I'm afraid my legs would go weak."

"I'm really sweating for Lord Ye Yuan! Although I think Lord Ye Yuan has other cards up his sleeve, I really can't imagine what card he could have to contend with a Celestial Venerable."

...

To say they weren't worried was impossible.

Although Ye Yuan had created miracles before, single-handedly wiping out thousands of True God experts, the three before him were Celestial Venerables!

Thousands of True Gods sounded intimidating, but before a Celestial Venerable expert, they were like paper.

Even if it were just Deng Yunzai alone, those thousands of True Gods couldn't stir up a single ripple.

Such was the gap between the Celestial Venerable realm and the True God realm!

This gap could not be bridged by numbers.

But Ye Yuan had created miracles time and again, giving the Tianying martial artists an inexplicable confidence in him.

This intense contradiction made them both worry for Ye Yuan's safety and expect him to do something earth-shattering again.

Hearing Deng Yunzai's words, Ye Yuan was amused.

"Celestial Venerable, so what? My methods are far beyond what you can fathom."

Lü Yan's gaze turned cold, and he said icily, "You'll soon know if it's so what! Your so-called methods are nothing before absolute power."

His patience had been worn thin by Ye Yuan.

He thought that his personal descent would make Ye Yuan afraid, trembling, even kneeling and begging for mercy.

But none of that happened!

Not only that, but every word Ye Yuan said choked him half to death.

Lü Yan's Celestial Venerable might suddenly burst forth, and he directly reached out a hand to grab Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan remained completely calm, not even making a move.

Lü Yan sneered, "You talk big, but in the end, you just wait to be captured?"

But just then, the space between him and Ye Yuan suddenly rippled.

A Celestial Venerable pressure no less than his burst forth, and a hand reached out from the void, directly meeting his.

Boom!

Lü Yan's figure shot backward, staring at the white-robed youth opposite him, full of shock.

"Celestial Venerable... Second Heaven!" Lü Yan said in disbelief.

Deng Yunzai and Dai Chunhao both narrowed their pupils, startled by the sudden appearance of the white-robed youth.

When had the Tianying Imperial City gained such a super expert?

Lü Yan frowned deeply, his face as dark as water as he looked at Bai Tong. He said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist, I am the master of the Five Emperors' Capital. I am here today to clean house. Please do not interfere in this matter!"

Bai Tong looked at Lü Yan with a playful expression and said, "Ye Yuan is my good brother, and you want me to stay out of it? You... aren't you out of your mind?"

Lü Yan's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

This guy, why was his mouth so sharp?

The words he spoke were exactly the same as Ye Yuan's!

But what shocked him more was the astonishment in his heart.

A Celestial Lord at the Second Heaven was calling Ye Yuan, a True God at the Third Heaven, his brother?

Just as Lü Yan was in shock and uncertainty, a wave of exclamations suddenly came from the city.

"That... isn't that Lord Bai Tong?"

"Eh, it really is! Wasn't Lord Bai Tong at the True God Fourth Heaven? How did he suddenly break through to the Celestial Lord Second Heaven? This... this is too fast!"

"Hahaha... Lord Ye Yuan is Lord Ye Yuan after all. He really had a backup plan!"

"Lord Ye Yuan's alchemy is unparalleled. He must have used pills to stimulate Bai Tong's breakthrough to the Celestial Lord realm!"

...

Bai Tong had made several moves before, so the warriors in the city were familiar with him.

Now that he appeared, jumping from True God Fourth Heaven to Celestial Lord Second Heaven, everyone was amazed.

They didn't know that Bai Tong was originally a Celestial Lord; this kind of leapfrog breakthrough was simply incredible!

How sharp were the senses of a Celestial Lord?

The discussions of the warriors in the city made Lü Yan and the other two's eyes nearly pop out.

True God Fourth Heaven?

The one before them was that True God Fourth Heaven from Tianying?

How long had it been since he went from True God Fourth Heaven directly to Celestial Lord Second Heaven?

In the hearts of Lü Yan and the other two, ten thousand grass-mud horses galloped by.

Don't be so discouraging!

What kind of pill did you fucking refine?

Lü Yan gritted his teeth and said, "Kid, do you think that just because you've brought out a Celestial Lord Second Heaven, everything is fine? Don't forget, we have three Celestial Lords!"

With that, he said to Deng and Dai, "I'll hold this guy off. You two go deal with that brat! Capture him directly, don't play with him anymore!"

Deng and Dai nodded in agreement. Lü Yan leaped up and engaged Bai Tong in battle.

Bai Tong waved his sleeve, and a folding fan lightly tapped out, revealing itself to be a Celestial Lord spiritual treasure!

He then closed in, ignoring Ye Yuan behind him.

A powerful aura rushed toward him, and Lü Yan's expression changed.

He didn't have a Celestial Lord spiritual treasure!

How rare were Celestial Lord spiritual treasures? Not everyone could have one.

As soon as they clashed, he was immediately suppressed by Bai Tong.

"Hurry up and act! This guy is not easy to deal with!" Lü Yan shouted loudly.

The warriors in the city saw this and were greatly shocked.

"Not good! Lord Ye Yuan is too overconfident! The other side has three Celestial Lords!"

"Lord Ye Yuan, run!"

...

The warriors in the city cried out one after another.

Deng and Dai exchanged glances, looked at Ye Yuan, and sneered, "Kid, accept your fate! This time, let's see who else can save you!"

With that, the two closed in and directly grabbed at Ye Yuan.

But just then, the void rippled again, and two figures stepped out from the void.
