Chapter 2463: You Won't, and You Dare Not!

Swish!

A sword flashed by, and the third Lin family Heavenly Man Five Decline cultivator fell.

Ye Yuan paid no heed to Lin Chaotian's shouts.

He only stopped after killing the third man.

In just over twenty breaths, the Lin family had lost three Heavenly Man Five Decline experts in succession!

The experts who had come to watch the excitement stood dumbfounded.

They were shocked by Ye Yuan's power, unable to breathe!

One man, one sword, forcing the First Dao Ancestor to yield.

Such a feat was simply despair-inducing.

"S-so strong! A one-sword kill of a Heavenly Man Five Decline—aside from a Dao Ancestor, probably no one else could do it, right?"

"From the last time Ye Yuan left Qiyuan Mountain to now, it's only been a few years! His strength has grown to such a degree—truly terrifying!"

"The further one progresses in cultivation, the harder it gets. But I feel like he's getting faster the further he goes?"

…

They marveled at Ye Yuan's talent, which could only be described as monstrous.

Seeing Ye Yuan stop, Lin Chaotian breathed a slight sigh of relief.

If Ye Yuan kept killing like this, the Lin family might be reduced to just him alone.

Although these people were his descendants, Lin Chaotian didn't really care.

His life level was already different from theirs.

If descendants were lost, he could just produce more.

What he feared was Ye Yuan's strength.

The current Ye Yuan already had the capital to threaten him!

He could certainly threaten Ye Yuan with the lives of Bai Guang and the others, but if Ye Yuan was truly pushed to the brink, he might find a place to hide.

Before long, even he, a Dao Ancestor, might not be a match for Ye Yuan.

That was what he feared most!

At this moment, he finally understood why Ye Yuan dared to come.

Fortunately, he still had many bargaining chips.

He knew that, given Ye Yuan's temperament, he would never abandon those people.

"Ye Yuan, you are too…" Lin Chaotian was about to rebuke Ye Yuan, but Ye Yuan stopped him with a gesture.

Ye Yuan casually threw Lin Huan to the ground.

Pfft!

Another knife!

"I wasn't finished earlier. We'll talk once this guy stops breathing," Ye Yuan said without turning his head.

In his eyes, this Dao Ancestor didn't exist.

Lin Chaotian fumed, "You've already killed three of my Lin family's Heavenly Man Five Decline, and you still dare to kill before my eyes? Release Lin Huan, or else your people will die too!"

Ye Yuan turned to look at him and said with a faint smile, "You won't. And you dare not!"

Lin Chaotian was taken aback. This guy had seen through everything!

He was acting with impunity!

Killing people would only anger Ye Yuan, with no other use!

His gaze was extremely dark, his eyes almost gouging flesh from Ye Yuan.

But Ye Yuan ignored his murderous stare and continued torturing Lin Huan.

The mountain was dead silent, except for Lin Huan's pig-like screams spreading across the wilderness.

He begged for mercy, wept, was conscious, or fainted.

In short, the process was extremely painful.

"Hehe, the adult's technique is truly exquisite! That bastard deserves it! Brother Wan, feeling better?" Pang Zhen said excitedly.

Wan Zhen, treated by the Saint Ancestor High Priest, had already improved much in complexion.

The出手 of a Dao Pill expert was naturally extraordinary.

Hearing Pang Zhen's question, Wan Zhen smiled and nodded, "That bastard indeed deserves to die! Those heroic spirits who died on the battlefield were rendered worthless by his words! Heh, how ironic!"

Pang Zhen nodded, "These dogs throw their weight around in the rear, and we risk our lives, only to be dismissed with a few light words! Hehe, the adult is truly formidable—so satisfying!"

Wan Zhen looked at him as if he were an idiot and suddenly snapped, "You pig! Who told you to inform the adult?"

Pang Zhen was stunned, "What's wrong? Isn't this good? The Life Dao Ancestor can't do anything to the adult!"

Wan Zhen wished he could slap him to death. Pang Zhen was brave but lacked strategy.

He didn't understand what Ye Yuan's presence here meant.

Wan Zhen, exasperated, gritted his teeth, "You stupid pig! The stronger the adult appears, the more dangerous it is for him to come here! Do you think Lin Chaotian will let him leave? The adult is righteous and loyal; he will never let those around him die for him! Now that the adult has shown such formidable strength, Lin Chaotian will surely kill him without hesitation! You… you… sigh!"

The Saint Ancestor High Priest also said gravely, "Before, they coveted the secrets on Ye Yuan, but now it's different! Ye Yuan now has the power to threaten them; they won't let him go! And given Ye Yuan's character, he would rather die himself than let those close to him come to harm!"

Pang Zhen's face grew paler, and he began to panic.

He hadn't expected the consequences to be so severe.

"Th-this… what should we do?" Pang Zhen said, flustered.

"What else can we do? Take it one step at a time!" Wan Zhen said helplessly.

He knew Ye Yuan's temper; once he had made up his mind, even the Heavenly King couldn't change it.

After who knows how long, Lin Huan finally stopped moving.

Ye Yuan clapped his hands and turned to Lin Chaotian, "Alright, now we can talk."

Lin Chaotian's mouth twitched slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Go to the Qiyuan Great Hall. They are all waiting for you!"

Ye Yuan smiled, "What's there to discuss that can't be done in front of everyone? Didn't you say I'm a traitor to humanity? Shouldn't you execute me on the spot in front of everyone? Alright, I'm now constrained by hostages and won't fight back."

A million divine beasts stampeded through Lin Chaotian's heart, but he suppressed his anger and said, "Boy, don't go too far!"

Ye Yuan shrugged, "Going too far? That seems to be you. I want to see my people. If they are missing a single hair, I will turn the nine Dao Ancestors' dojos into a sea of blood!"

By the end, Ye Yuan's voice was again filled with murderous intent.

Before, everyone would have laughed it off.

But now, no one took it as a joke.

He really would kill!

Lin Chaotian's mouth twitched again, "Rest assured, I haven't done anything to them! Someone, bring them all to the Qiyuan Great Hall."

Then he turned to Ye Yuan, "Now, can we go?"

Ye Yuan said to the Saint Ancestor High Priest, "When Bai Guang and the others come out, take them and leave."

The three of them changed expression, sensing the implication.

Ye Yuan knew he wouldn't be coming out!

Lin Chaotian wouldn't give him that chance!

Ye Yuan followed Lin Chaotian into the Qiyuan Great Hall, but the outside world was in an uproar.

Those last few words were not meant to mock Lin Chaotian but were deliberate.

His purpose was to let everyone see the true face of the nine Dao Ancestors!

These words were laden with meaning.

Smart people would surely understand the trickery involved.

If it was truly a matter concerning humanity's fate, why not discuss it in front of everyone?

Moreover, what was there to discuss?

Just kill!

There was something fishy going on!
