Chapter 2415: Excuse Me

"But sir, this child's mastery of the laws of time and space is superb; it's too difficult to keep him here! I don't think he would be foolish enough to charge into our camp again," Yu Qin said with a grim expression.

Even he, a peak Nine-Pattern mid-stage cultivator, was useless against Ye Yuan.

Unless Lord Tianhe personally took command, there might be a chance to catch him.

And even then, it was only a possibility!

Tianhe sneered, "If he won't come out, we'll force him out!"

Yu Qin's eyes lit up. "You mean..."

Tianhe said gravely, "Pass down the order: all armies converge on Iron Thread Ridge and march on the Middle Realm!"

Everyone was shaken. This posture meant all-out war!

...

Meanwhile, on the other side, news of the great victory over the Divine Son Legion spread, and the entire camp erupted.

In truth, before they set out, no one had high hopes for this army of young masters.

Undoubtedly, every member of the army led by Ye Yuan was extremely powerful.

But each of them was unruly and had never experienced the brutality of war.

Such an army would have limited combat effectiveness.

Yet no one expected that this very army of young masters would nearly annihilate the invincible Divine Son Legion, which had never tasted defeat!

During this time, the Divine Son Legion had been Ni Xuan's biggest headache.

The legion came and went without a trace and was extremely formidable; he was completely helpless against them.

Who would have thought that after Ye Yuan arrived, he would solve the problem in less than a month!

He had previously been critical of Ye Yuan, but now he was truly convinced.

He had also heard that Ye Yuan, by fusing the three laws of time, space, and sword, had single-handedly slain three Nine-Pattern experts.

Such talent was simply too heaven-defying!

Although he didn't know the origin of the Azure Saint, the talent Ye Yuan displayed might be humanity's last hope!

He was well aware of this!

"Haha, good lad, well done! You have the style of your ancestor!"

Ni Xuan personally went thirty li outside the camp to welcome the army led by Pang Zhen.

Upon meeting, Ni Xuan punched Pang Zhen in the chest and laughed heartily.

The grand marshal personally welcoming them was an extremely high honor.

Pang Zhen was usually stern, but now he was quite pleased and smiled sheepishly.

"This is all the Azure Saint's doing. He almost single-handedly crushed the Divine Son Legion. We were nearly a burden to him," Pang Zhen said with some embarrassment.

"Haha, you've grown, boy! Not arrogant in victory nor disheartened in defeat—that's the bearing of a great general!" Ni Xuan laughed.

At this moment, Ni Xuan was also inwardly astonished.

After just one battle, this army seemed reborn.

Though the Unforeseen Legion had shrunk significantly in numbers, their spirit and momentum were completely different from before.

It was clear that if this army were deployed again, their combat power would soar!

"Who exactly is this Azure Saint?" Ni Xuan couldn't help marveling inwardly.

Many in the Unforeseen Legion had gained greatly from this battle.

After returning, the vast majority had improved their strength, reaching new heights.

But soon, the divine army began to stir.

Ni Xuan received reports that all divine armies had gathered at Iron Thread Ridge, showing signs of advancing eastward.

Upon hearing this news, the allied forces of various races fell into chaos.

In previous battles, both sides had exercised relative restraint, with true experts rarely or never participating.

But this time, the divine race's sudden aggressive advance caught everyone off guard.

After all, the divine race's Celestial Qing Ancestor had not yet recovered from his injuries.

Launching an all-out war rashly now would be unwise for both sides.

In the human camp, leaders of all races gathered together.

"Have the divine race gone mad? The cycle of heaven hasn't even begun, and they're rushing into a decisive battle? Are they going all in?" a powerful figure from the Stone Clan said irritably.

Clearly, the allied leaders present were extremely wary of the divine race and unwilling to fight this battle.

Especially the smaller races—one battle could mean their extinction.

"I think we should avoid their锋芒! This battle cannot be fought!"

"Yes, the divine race is powerful; we cannot engage them in close combat. If we do, we will surely lose!"

"I agree! Our alliance should temporarily avoid their edge and retreat to the Middle Realm!"

...

The leaders of all races were unwilling to fight to the death.

With strategic depth remaining, they preferred retreat over a desperate battle.

"Before this, the divine race's battles were very restrained. This sudden decisive battle comes right after the Unforeseen Legion's great victory over the Divine Son Legion. Could there be a connection? Grand Marshal Ni, what do you think?" a powerful figure from the White Tiger Clan suddenly asked.

If Ye Yuan were here, he would recognize this person as Bai Chen, who had passed him the Heavenly Dragon Mark in the abyss seal.

He was now the leader of the White Tiger Clan!

Ni Xuan had been silent, but when Bai Chen asked, he slowly said, "If I'm not mistaken, they are probably trying to force the Azure Saint to appear."

The Stone Clan leader laughed upon hearing this. "Grand Marshal Ni, are you joking? The Azure Saint you speak of is indeed formidable, but would the divine race go all in just because of one man?"

"Exactly! No matter how powerful the Azure Saint is, he's only at the Heavenly Emperor realm! The divine race's progenitor will emerge in at most a few hundred years. Can one man change the course of the war in that time?"

...

The leaders of all races looked disdainful; they had no such respect for a junior.

Even if they deferred to Xuanji Heavenly Emperor's face, inwardly they still held Ye Yuan in contempt.

Ni Xuan was scornful of these people's attitudes.

At a time like this, they were still thinking only of self-preservation!

"Excuse me, if I'm not mistaken, the divine race probably decided on all-out war because of me," a voice came from outside just then.

Then, a young man in white robes walked slowly into the camp.

Who else could it be but Ye Yuan?

The Stone Clan leader was the most contemptuous. Seeing Ye Yuan, he sneered, "What an arrogant brat! Don't think that just because we call you Azure Saint, you're that important! This war depends on experts at the fourth or fifth decline of天人!"

Bai Chen and others looked at Ye Yuan with mixed emotions.

The little boy back then had now grown into a giant!

Beside him, Long Yi, leader of the Dragon Clan, slowly rose and knelt directly before Ye Yuan.

"Long Yi pays homage to the Ancestral Founder!"

Ye Yuan nodded. "Rise. I've already brought Xiao Chun and the others back."

Long Yi quickly said, "It was Long Yi's failure to protect that put Xiao Chun in danger! Long Yi deserves death!"

Ye Yuan was the Dragon Clan's Reincarnation Ancestral Founder; even a powerful figure like Long Yi had to bow before him.

He knew that Long Xiaochun and Ye Yuan were close kin, hence his words.

Ye Yuan waved his hand. "No need. In the war of annihilation, who can stand aloof? This is not your fault."
