Chapter 2613: Terror-Stricken!

Slap! Slap! Slap!

Ye Yuan raised his foot and stomped hard on Han Qianyun's face several times before he felt satisfied.

Han Qianyun's face was covered with shoe prints.

This enhanced version of the Wind-Fall Powder, he had casually taken some when Wu Chengchao refined it.

Unexpectedly, it came in handy now.

Slap! Slap! Slap!

What startled Ye Yuan was that Wen Jingxuan suddenly rushed over and also stomped on Han Qianyun's face a few times.

The repression of these years finally erupted the moment she saw Ye Yuan.

"Phew... Stomping him a few times feels so much better!" Wen Jingxuan said, utterly unladylike.

Seeing Wen Jingxuan's relieved expression, Ye Yuan's brows furrowed.

Instinct told him that something had changed in Wuding Heavenly Sect.

"Jingxuan, what happened in the sect?" Ye Yuan asked with a frown.

Wen Jingxuan looked at Ye Yuan, feeling she had finally found a pillar of support.

In an instant, a surge of grievance welled up, and tears couldn't help but stream down her face.

Through sobs, Wen Jingxuan recounted the changes over the years to Ye Yuan, who listened with considerable self-reproach.

He hadn't expected the Alchemy Alliance's influence to be so vast, capable of directly blacklisting a major heavenly sect!

In fact, even Feng Xuanyi hadn't anticipated it.

The Alchemy Alliance was a very low-key force, usually not showing its hand.

But once it erupted, its power was astonishing.

The Qin Shun incident was merely a trigger, causing the normally low-key Alchemy Alliance to reveal its immense, mountain-like strength.

Indeed, this move by the Alchemy Alliance shocked the entire Yuqing Continent!

People then realized that the Alchemy Alliance's tentacles had extended into every corner of the five great heavenly domains!

Even a massive sect like Wuding Heavenly Sect had to bow its head and admit fault.

Ye Yuan felt a surge of anger.

The Alchemy Alliance's intervention was understandable.

But making Luo Yunqing bow his head and forcing Wen Jingxuan to be a cauldron—that was too much!

Not to mention Wen Jingxuan; if she were sent to Qin Shun, it would surely end badly.

As for Luo Yunqing, once he bowed his head, the impact on him would be enormous!

Luo Yunqing, with his single sword, was so free and unrestrained, so proud and aloof.

Ye Yuan knew full well that this would greatly affect Luo Yunqing's future cultivation.

It might even cause him to stagnate and never advance.

A gentleman's sword does not bow!

Whoever blocks me, I cut down with one strike!

Bowing means the sword breaks.

If the sword is broken, what is there to cultivate?

If Luo Yunqing were alone, he would surely have charged into the Alchemy Alliance.

But for the sake of the sect, he had to bow his head!

Ye Yuan's eyes turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "Let's go!"

Wen Jingxuan was startled and asked, "Where to?"

"To save your senior brother!"

...

Li Zhuo had been riding high lately.

Not only had he broken through to the Great Extreme Heaven rank and become an outer disciple, but he had also found an even more powerful backer.

Han Qianyun thought Li Zhuo was sensible and accepted him as a disciple.

For an outer disciple, being able to apprentice under a protector was a major event.

Moreover, tormenting Ye Yuan's disciple Lin Lan had become one of his life's pleasures.

Bang!

Li Zhuo kicked Lin Lan flying and sneered, "Old thing, crawl between my legs, and I'll spare you today! Otherwise, you'll be lying in bed for months again!"

Lin Lan had been demoted to a menial laborer, his cultivation sealed, able only to use the strength of a Minor Extreme Heaven rank, no match for Li Zhuo.

Over the years, Li Zhuo had often humiliated Lin Lan.

If not for Luo Yunqing's special instructions, Lin Lan would have died long ago.

Although Luo Yunqing had lost power, his strength was still there, not something an outer disciple like Li Zhuo could provoke.

Lin Lan spat disdainfully and said, "A lackey, wanting me to crawl between your legs? Dream on! If you've got the guts, kill me!"

Li Zhuo, having turned his luck around, hated being called a lackey.

Hearing this, he flew into a rage and directly kicked Lin Lan's leg, breaking it.

"Kill you? You want to die and drag me with you? Heh, killing you would be a pity—your master would lose a lot of fun!" Li Zhuo sneered.

Indeed, Lin Lan wanted to die.

Every time Li Zhuo came, he was extremely brutal.

Dragging his severe injuries, Lin Lan still had to do heavy labor, and his body had long been worn out.

Living like this was worse than death.

Lin Lan didn't believe Ye Yuan would die in the Exile Land.

After all, he had seen Ye Yuan create too many miracles.

But he felt he couldn't wait for Ye Yuan's return.

Such a life was worse than death!

Tomorrow, Wen Jingxuan would be sent to the Alchemy Alliance, and Luo Yunqing would also go to apologize.

He planned to end himself tomorrow.

If he could drag this bastard down with him before dying, that would be good.

Unfortunately, Li Zhuo didn't take the bait!

Lin Lan spat blood and gritted his teeth, "Li Zhuo, don't be too pleased! When my master returns from the Exile Land, that will be your death!"

Li Zhuo burst into laughter: "That dead man, probably already torn to pieces in the Exile Land, right? You want that dead man to deal with me? Ha, that's hilarious!"

Li Zhuo laughed heartily, as if he had heard the funniest joke.

But suddenly, he felt the surroundings go quiet and found it strange.

When his gaze fell, he shuddered.

The 'dead man' he had spoken of was right in front of him, looking at him.

This scene was like a supernatural event, sending chills down his spine.

Thud!

Li Zhuo sat down on the ground, scared out of his wits.

"Y-y-y-you, how are you here? You... aren't you dead?" Li Zhuo stammered in terror.

Ye Yuan looked at him as if he were a dead man.

Not just him, everyone around looked at him as if he were a corpse.

Back then, before Ye Yuan even joined the sect, he had killed Lu Zhanyuan in public; naturally, he wouldn't hesitate to kill Li Zhuo.

And this scene declared to everyone that Ye Yuan had returned in force!

Ye Yuan said nothing, just silently watching Li Zhuo, slowly stepping forward.

Li Zhuo was already terrified out of his wits, repeatedly saying, "You... don't come near!"

Ye Yuan ignored him and kept advancing.

Li Zhuo panicked and said, "I... I am now a disciple of Protector Han Qianyun! You... you can't kill me!"

Ye Yuan ignored him and continued to close in.

Each step Ye Yuan took, Li Zhuo scooted backward on his butt.

He couldn't even stand up!

Everyone felt that Ye Yuan was now at the Great Extreme Heaven rank!

Back then, even Lu Zhanyuan at the same level was no match for Ye Yuan, let alone trash like Li Zhuo?

So he had no chance of winning!

Step by step.

As Ye Yuan approached, everyone's breathing became rapid.

"Uh... ah!"

Suddenly, Li Zhuo screamed to the sky, his eyes bulging, blood and unknown fluids flowing from his mouth.

Bang!

Li Zhuo crashed to the ground, already dead!

Everyone stared at this scene, dumbfounded!

A Great Extreme Heaven rank expert had been literally scared to death by Ye Yuan?
