Chapter 2585: If It Can Make Ye Yuan Happy, It's Worth It!

A swordsman is proud and unruly, his spirit soaring to the clouds, most intolerant of injustice in the world.

Lu Zhanyuan, relying on Shi Feiyu's backing, was extremely arrogant and domineering in the sect.

Luo Yunqing couldn't stand it and had taught him a lesson several times.

Because of this, Shi Feiyu held a grudge against him.

Hitting his disciple was like slapping his face!

Speaking of it, Shi Feiyu's lineage truly ran true.

From Shi Feiyu to Lu Zhanyuan, and then to Li Zhuo, they were all cut from the same cloth.

Overbearing!

Arrogant!

But before, Luo Yunqing had been wary of Shi Feiyu's strength and couldn't go too far.

However, Luo Yunqing never expected that Ye Yuan was even more formidable!

He had actually killed Lu Zhanyuan just like that!

This kind of fearless, unyielding temperament suited his taste.

But on the other side, Shi Feiyu, having been repeatedly slapped in the face, was already beside himself with rage.

His disciple had been killed, and now they were saying he deserved it!

Did they really think he, as an elder, was a pushover?

"Good, good, good! Let me see just how formidable the younger generation can be!" Shi Feiyu said three 'good's in a row, showing his fury.

With the Jade Emperor Heaven aura unleashed, a terrifying pressure instantly enveloped Luo Yunqing.

Mid-stage Jade Emperor Heaven!

Luo Yunqing's expression did not change; his sword intent soared into the sky.

Although he was one minor realm lower than Shi Feiyu, Luo Yunqing's battle intent pierced the heavens!

The two Jade Emperor Heaven experts confronted each other, and everyone's expressions changed.

In the Five Great Heavenly Domains, reaching Jade Emperor Heaven meant becoming a regional lord!

No matter which sect, such a person held a very high status.

Such experts rarely made a move.

But when they did, it was earth-shattering!

Without needing any instruction, everyone quickly retreated far away, fearing they might be caught in the crossfire.

Whoosh!

Luo Yunqing's figure suddenly vanished; he was the first to strike!

Rumble...

The two clashed, instantly stirring up sand and rocks, shaking the earth and mountains.

On Tianhui Peak, everything was in chaos.

Yet, although Luo Yunqing was one minor realm lower than Shi Feiyu, he showed no sign of being at a disadvantage!

Protector Mo was dumbfounded, exclaiming, "Brother Luo's sword intent is overwhelming; upon entering Jade Emperor Heaven, he's already evenly matched with Elder Shi! He... is now in a different world from us!"

Han Qianyun, on the other hand, had a flickering gaze, clearly feeling bitter.

When someone close to them suddenly leaps over the dragon gate and becomes superior to others,

only they themselves know the sourness in their hearts.

The two were locked in fierce battle when suddenly a sword beam flew in from beyond the sky.

Boom!

A loud crash came, directly blasting the two apart.

Then, a middle-aged man with an immortal air descended from the sky.

Seeing this man, everyone's expression changed drastically, and they immediately knelt down.

Even the proud Luo Yunqing bowed in salute.

"Greetings, Sect Master!"

Ye Yuan was astonished; he hadn't expected the Sect Master to appear!

The man had a face like jade and a restrained demeanor, clearly an extremely powerful individual.

"Hmph! Two Jade Emperor Heaven experts, actually fighting fiercely at the sect's own mountain gate! What kind of spectacle is this? Do you still have me, the Sect Master, in your eyes?" the middle-aged man said sternly.

Clearly, he was quite displeased with the internal strife.

Shi Feiyu, as the guilty party filing the first complaint, quickly said, "Brother Sect Master, please see clearly! That brat Luo Yunqing brought some scoundrel here who, before even joining the sect, killed my beloved disciple! And this fellow even said he deserved it! I couldn't bear it, so I fought him!"

Having subdued the two experts, the Sect Master no longer seemed as angry as before.

He glanced at Luo Yunqing, a hint of approval in his eyes, and said, "Yunqing, not bad!"

Luo Yunqing said, "Thank you for the praise, Sect Master!"

The Sect Master said calmly, "Since you have entered Jade Emperor Heaven, you are now an elder of the Heavenly Sect! A conferment ceremony will be held for you on a chosen day! However, regarding today's matter, shouldn't there be an explanation?"

Luo Yunqing said calmly, "Lu Zhanyuan brought death upon himself; there's no need for further explanation! Moreover, in Yunqing's view, if killing one Lu Zhanyuan can make Ye Yuan happy, it's worth it!"

"You! Luo Yunqing!" Shi Feiyu was about to explode with rage.

Did that mean his disciple died for nothing?

Was he to be slapped in the face for nothing?

And by someone at the Small Extreme Heaven rank at that!

How could he, a Jade Emperor Heaven expert, face anyone after this?

The others were also stunned by these words.

They all knew Ye Yuan's aptitude, though his combat prowess was surprising.

But his aptitude was set, and his potential for growth was limited.

Yet Luo Yunqing said that as long as Ye Yuan was happy, killing Lu Zhanyuan didn't matter at all!

The implication was that he died for nothing!

"Brother, listen to this! What kind of talk is that! Zhanyuan was a congenital fifth-grade Sun Physique, with great hope of reaching Jade Emperor Heaven in the future! And his death was just to please some trash with the worst aptitude?" Shi Feiyu rebuked angrily.

The Sect Master frowned slightly, looking at Ye Yuan and saying, "Worst aptitude?"

Shi Feiyu gave a signal, and Han Qianyun understood, quickly saying, "Reporting to the Sect Master, Ye Yuan has just passed through the formation. He has no Dao Body, his aptitude is the worst, and his affinity is only four."

The Sect Master's brow furrowed deeply.

He was now beginning to think that Luo Yunqing was using this as an excuse.

"Yunqing, this matter is no small thing; it concerns the hearts of the Heavenly Sect's members! If you cannot provide an explanation, I will have no choice but to punish you severely!" The Sect Master's tone grew heavier.

Shi Feiyu was overjoyed upon hearing this.

These two were so arrogant; let's see if they could still be arrogant!

Luo Yunqing was unconcerned and said calmly, "What of a congenital fifth-grade Sun Physique? I, Luo Yunqing, am merely a third-grade Dao Body, yet I have now stepped into the Jade Emperor Heaven realm! Conversely, the sect has recruited many disciples with fifth-grade Dao Bodies, but how many of them have reached Jade Emperor Heaven? So, aptitude does not represent everything!"

Shi Feiyu sneered, "You're just quibbling!"

Luo Yunqing ignored him completely and said calmly, "While in the True Sun Heavenly Domain, I happened to hear that in a small eastern border state, there was an ascender who refined a Heavenly Pill with only one point of affinity. So I went to investigate. Later, I spent ten years in the eastern border observing Ye Yuan, witnessing his growth and rise with my own eyes, as he cultivated the first-grade Heavenly Pill to its extreme! A genius like him has far more potential than Lu Zhanyuan!"

"Wait, are you saying that the reason you gave him the Qingyi Token is because he can refine pills?" Shi Feiyu suddenly interjected.

Luo Yunqing said calmly, "Exactly!"

"Hahaha..." Shi Feiyu laughed loudly, "That's hilarious! A guy with only four points of affinity, cultivating the first-grade Heavenly Pill to its extreme! That 'extreme' doesn't seem very impressive, does it?"

"Wait!" The Sect Master suddenly spoke up, "Did you just say he only had one point of affinity?"

The Sect Master was no ordinary person.

He quickly caught the key information in their words!

Luo Yunqing smiled, "That's right! When Ye Yuan first ascended, he only had one point of affinity! But now he has four! Sect Master, the significance of this, need I say more?"
