Chapter 2527: Reasoning!

In everyone's eyes, Ye Yuan was a lamb to be toyed with at will.

But who would have thought he was actually a tiger unleashed from its cage?

A mere ascender, crippling a mid-stage Lesser Celestial Realm cultivator in one move—how could that not shock?

Tang Yu narrowed his eyes, a flicker of surprise passing through them.

Of course, it was merely surprise.

That strike just now relied mostly on stealth and agility.

Moreover, he, Tang Yu, was no Li Zhengqiu.

Though both were mid-stage Lesser Celestial Realm, his strength far surpassed Li Zhengqiu's.

"Does your 'get lost' include me?" Tang Yu's gaze turned cold.

Ye Yuan met his eyes and said flatly, "It does not include you."

Tang Yu smirked. "At least you know your place."

The crowd nodded inwardly, thinking the kid had some self-awareness, knowing Young Master Yu was not to be trifled with.

But Ye Yuan continued, "You stay. I want to reason with you."

At these words, the crowd burst into laughter.

"Reason! Hahaha, this ascender is hilarious—he wants to reason!"

"Tsk, that's a good method—no need to fight, just reason it out."

"Saving face at the cost of suffering! He wants to act tough without offending Young Master Yu—where's the fun in that?"

...

The crowd jeered, despising Ye Yuan's cowardice toward the strong and bullying of the weak.

Tang Yu chuckled. "Reason? Huh, that's a novel idea! Go on, what reason do you want to discuss with me?"

Ye Yuan smiled faintly. "Are you sure you want to discuss it in front of so many people?"

Tang Yu laughed. "Reasoning should be done in public!"

Ye Yuan nodded. "Since you insist, so be it!"

The next moment, Ye Yuan moved!

His figure flickered unpredictably, charging straight at Tang Yu.

Tang Yu seemed prepared. "You reckless fool! Bright Moon Heavenly Emperor's Hand!"

As Tang Yu struck, it was like a bright moon hanging in the sky, illuminating the earth with terrifying momentum.

At that moment, no matter which angle Ye Yuan attacked from, Tang Yu had him completely locked down.

A mocking smile appeared on the crowd's faces.

Overestimating oneself—wasn't that exactly this?

Speed was an advantage, but strength mattered more!

"Heh, this fool doesn't know his place! He probably doesn't realize that Young Master Yu has already qualified for the Yuzhen Heavenly Sect's trial! Soon, he'll become an outer disciple of the Yuzhen Heavenly Sect! This guy is literally throwing an egg against a rock!" Gui Tianyu sneered.

"Two! Forms!"

Ye Yuan's Two Forms Sword Art exploded forth.

The sharp sword aura forced everyone present to look askance.

Boom!

With an unadorned clash, Tang Yu's body shot like a cannonball into the hall.

Everyone stood dumbfounded.

How could he be so strong?

This ascender was clearly only at the lower-stage Lesser Celestial Realm, yet he had directly confronted Young Master Yu and won decisively?

"Kid, you're dead! Today, even the gods can't save you!" Gui Tianyu rejoiced inwardly at the sight.

Boom!

From the rubble, Tang Yu stood up abruptly, his gaze at Ye Yuan filled with venom.

"Kid, you're good! In this imperial city, you're the first to dare lay a hand on me! If I don't grind your bones to dust today, I'll take your surname! All of you, attack together!" Tang Yu roared.

The several subordinates Tang Yu brought were all formidable, all at mid-stage Lesser Celestial Realm.

Gui Tianyu and Lü Yuanjie, seeing a chance to curry favor with Tang Yu, also ordered their men to join the fray.

Ye Yuan merely sneered and suddenly deployed the Qiankun Sword Formation!

In the Tai Ming Yu Wan Heaven, Ye Yuan's sword formation was heavily suppressed, extending only about ten zhang.

But that was enough!

Once the sword formation opened, no matter how many came, they would never return!

Within the formation, sword auras were fierce, and cries of agony filled the air.

Gui Tianyu and Lü Yuanjie, in particular, received Ye Yuan's 'special attention.'

Tang Yu, outside the formation, stared wide-eyed.

He never dreamed that the insignificant ant beside Yang Xuezhen could be so powerful!

At the lower-stage Lesser Celestial Realm, he swept through mid-stage cultivators!

After dozens of breaths, the family guards lay scattered on the ground, wailing in pain.

Ye Yuan's gaze turned to Tang Yu, who shuddered, fear creeping into his eyes.

His previous aristocratic demeanor was long gone!

"Y-you... what do you want? I-I warn you, I'm a member of the Tang family. If you touch me, you'll die horribly!" Tang Yu invoked the Tang family and regained some bravado.

Ye Yuan smiled. "I don't want anything. I just want to reason with you."

Tang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking this guy was still afraid of the Tang family after all.

"G-good, what reason? Speak!" Tang Yu hurriedly said.

Ye Yuan grinned, and his figure burst into motion again.

Two Forms Sword Formation!

A flash of cold light, and Tang Yu's right arm flew high into the air.

He had been disarmed!

"Ah!" Tang Yu screamed in agony, sweat beading on his forehead.

"Y-you dare!" Tang Yu cried out in pain.

Ye Yuan approached him, patted his shoulder, and smiled. "Better to resolve enmity than to keep it. It's just an arm; let bygones be bygones. Young Master Yu, how about we become brothers?"

Ye Yuan's face wore a harmless smile.

Tang Yu was stunned, finally understanding what reason Ye Yuan wanted to discuss.

Yang Xuezhen's father had been killed by the Li family, yet he played the peacemaker, saying enmity should be resolved, and wanted Yang Xuezhen to marry into the family.

Such shameless behavior made Ye Yuan deeply uncomfortable.

So he cut off Tang Yu's arm and then offered to be brothers!

Yang Xuezhen, standing by, was already dumbfounded.

She had always thought that bringing Ye Yuan out of the Mogra Forest had saved his life.

Given Ye Yuan's strength, he would have been killed by the true spirits in the Mogra Forest long ago.

Little did she know, he didn't need her rescue at all!

With Ye Yuan's strength, the ordinary true spirits of the Mogra Forest couldn't harm him.

Ye Yuan could have avoided this trouble, but he followed her to the Eastern Lin Imperial City on various pretexts.

The purpose was too obvious!

He was here to help her!

Yang Xuezhen, sharp as she was, understood Ye Yuan's intentions.

At that moment, she was moved beyond words.

In her darkest hour, this man gave her support!

Of course, she was mistaken.

Even without her, Ye Yuan would have come to the Eastern Lin Kingdom.

The Eastern Lin Kingdom was closest to the Mogra Forest. If the Yuzhen Heavenly Sect sent someone, they would likely come here.

Ye Yuan was too far from the Mogra Forest now, and he was uneasy!

If the Yuzhen Heavenly Sect discovered the Tongtian Realm, everything would be lost!

"Oh? It seems you don't want to be brothers with me. Well, if not brothers, then enemies. I'll send you on your way," Ye Yuan said with a smile, looking at Tang Yu's hateful gaze.
