Chapter 2115: The Qilin Arrives

The young man was startled. At that moment, Long Xiaochun had already walked out from the back hall, staring at Ye Yuan with murderous eyes.

"Ye Yuan, I trusted you so much, and you betrayed me!" Long Xiaochun said angrily.

Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "Little girl, running away from home will worry your family. You said you thanked me for killing Qi Zhen, which shows you love your brother very much. So how can you bear to make him worry?"

Long Xiaochun was stunned, a thoughtful expression appearing on her face.

Beside her, Long Xiaohai was already speechless with shock.

He looked at Ye Yuan in disbelief and said, "You... you killed Qi Zhen? How is that possible?"

A True God realm cultivator killed a Heavenly Sovereign realm cultivator?

Long Xiaohai felt that this guy must be bragging.

Long Xiaochun held her forehead, showing a look of exasperation, and said, "You stupid brother, this matter has already caused a stir throughout the city, and you don't even know! His name is Ye Yuan, the sub-sage personally appointed by the Saint Ancestor's High Priest. He's incredibly powerful!"

Long Xiaohai's face was filled with shock, clearly his mind struggling to process this.

"Sub... sub-sage?"

He really hadn't expected that this young man before him had such an impressive background.

Long Xiaochun couldn't be bothered with Long Xiaohai's shock. She turned to Ye Yuan, putting on an air of a little adult, and said, "Hmm... I think what you said makes sense, but it's not easy for me to get out. He won't let me go anywhere, so I had to sneak out."

Having been in the Void Realm for so long, Long Xiaochun was full of curiosity about the outside world.

Along the way, Long Xiaohai wouldn't let her go anywhere, so she was naturally very frustrated and sneaked away halfway.

Long Xiaohai was delayed in finding Long Xiaochun, so he hadn't heard about Ye Yuan killing Qi Zhen.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Your brother was also worried about your safety, which is why he didn't let you wander around, wasn't he?"

Long Xiaochun thought for a moment, then nodded and shook her head, saying, "I'm very powerful!"

Ye Yuan laughed heartily and said, "Since you're here as guests, why don't you sit down and have a drink?"

"Great, great! I love drinking!" Long Xiaochun said excitedly.

After a few cups of wine, Long Xiaochun was already tipsy.

Her pretty face was flushed red, looking very cute.

Long Xiaochun chattered away, and Long Xiaohai finally understood who Ye Yuan was, but he was even more shocked inside.

This young man was so formidable!

He had crossed paths with Qi Zhen and knew his alchemy skills and his pride.

Yet Qi Zhen, when facing Ye Yuan, didn't even have the courage to make a move!

Feeling an itch to compete, Long Xiaohai sparred with Ye Yuan, and of course, he was thoroughly trounced.

After that, Long Xiaohai admired Ye Yuan even more.

He finally understood why Qi Zhen didn't even have the courage to make a move.

Long Xiaochun watched from the side, her eyes sparkling, and she worshipped Ye Yuan to the extreme.

Long Xiaohai was also an alchemy fanatic. He discussed alchemy with Ye Yuan for three days and nights before finally feeling satisfied.

"Alas, it's getting late. Elder Xun and the others must be anxious. Otherwise, I'd really like to consult with Brother Ye for a few more months," Long Xiaohai said regretfully.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "No problem. As long as you're willing, you can come find me anytime."

Long Xiaohai was pleasantly surprised and said, "Brother Ye, are you serious?"

Ye Yuan nodded and said, "I get along very well with you two siblings. Seeing you feels like seeing family, so naturally I won't refuse."

Long Xiaochun nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, really! I feel the same way! The first time I saw you, it felt like meeting a big brother."

After exchanging pleasantries, the two took their leave.

Before leaving, Long Xiaochun reminded Ye Yuan, "Remember, if the Qilin clan dares to bully you, just use my name!"

Ye Yuan just laughed it off and naturally didn't take it seriously.

……

Three days later, a suffocatingly powerful aura instantly enveloped the entire city.

At that moment, one word flashed through everyone's mind—Heavenly Emperor!

This godlike, formidable aura could only belong to a legendary Heavenly Emperor.

“I am the Young Emperor of the Qilin Clan, Shaoyun. I give you a hundred breaths to hand over the culprit Ye Yuan, or I will annihilate the entire city!”

A voice like thunderclap rang in the ears of all the demons in the city.

The demon experts in the city turned pale, and those weaker were even injured by the sound.

“A Heavenly Emperor! We have truly provoked a Heavenly Emperor!”

“Damn it, it's all the fault of the Half-Saint! He acted on impulse—what do we do now?”

“At this moment, the Half-Saint should sacrifice himself to save the entire demon race!”

……

Murmurs filled the city.

Near Ye Yuan's residence, many demon experts were shouting and cursing.

“All of you, get out of my way!” Suddenly, an angry roar sounded.

The crowd looked and saw that it was Xinluo Heavenly Venerable!

Upon seeing Xinluo, the demon experts immediately erupted into an uproar.

“Lord Xinluo, you must seek justice for us!”

“The Half-Saint cannot let the entire city be buried with him because of a personal grudge!”

……

The deterrence of a Heavenly Emperor was truly too overwhelming.

In matters of life and death, no sub-sage, no alchemy prodigy was of any use.

Xin Luo, with a dark face, said coldly, "All of you, shut up! I have come here to ask the Sub-Sage to uphold justice for us!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately showed excited expressions.

What upholding justice? Xin Luo's meaning was to hand Ye Yuan over.

Xin Luo arrived at the door and said loudly, "Xin Luo requests an audience with the Sub-Sage!"

Creak!

The large door slowly opened, and a young man in white robes walked out slowly.

When Xin Luo saw Ye Yuan and was about to speak, he heard Ye Yuan say indifferently, "No need for more words. That day in the temple, I said I would bear this matter alone!"

Xin Luo was taken aback at this. He had thought Ye Yuan's words back then were just a joke.

For this reason, he had even set up an inescapable net nearby, afraid that Ye Yuan might flee.

But Ye Yuan not only did not flee, he actually stepped forward now!

Xin Luo had thought he would have to use force this time, but who knew Ye Yuan would be so sensible.

Could it be that when he killed Qi Zhen, he had already prepared to pay with his life?

But regardless, it was best if Ye Yuan was willing to go himself.

Otherwise, the charge of disrespect toward the Sub-Sage would be unavoidable.

If the Holy Ancestor High Priest really pursued the matter, he would certainly be the scapegoat.

Xin Luo bowed to Ye Yuan and said, "The Sub-Sage is deeply understanding of righteousness. Xin Luo admires you."

Ye Yuan looked at Xin Luo and sneered, "Stop putting on airs here. Do you really think I didn't know about all the spies you placed nearby? If I truly wanted to leave, do you think these people could stop me?"

Xin Luo, upon hearing this, showed a look of surprise.

The spies he had placed were all Heavenly Venerable experts! Did Ye Yuan actually know?

Before he could react, Ye Yuan had already taken a step and arrived in the void.
