第2785章 早知今日，何必当初！

Chapter 2785: If Only You Had Known This Day Would Come, Why Did You Do It in the First Place!

No one thought Dao Yun had lost face, because everyone was terrified.

A single sword aura left behind by Ye Yuan had directly killed a Saint Emperor Heaven!

How strong was he now?

Impossible to fathom!

After all, even the sword aura left by Zhuo Bufan couldn't kill them!

Earlier, they all thought Ye Yuan had cut off his path of martial arts and directly exiled him to the Land of Tiannan.

But now, Ye Yuan had undergone the Three Nine Dao Tribulation and soared to the heavens!

Although his cultivation level hadn't increased much, his strength had advanced by leaps and bounds, surpassing everyone!

If he wanted to kill someone, no one could escape!

"Ye Yuan, everything before was my fault! I was blinded by greed. Please... please forgive me!" Niu Mo Saint Venerable also said fearfully.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Hehe, I invited you all here merely to exchange insights on martial arts. Are you all overthinking things? Alright, the exchange is about over. Let's each go home. Brother Luo, Dahuang, let's go!"

With that, Ye Yuan ignored the stunned crowd and left directly.

Seeing Ye Yuan disappear into the horizon, Dao Yun Saint Venerable relaxed, his clothes soaked through.

The pressure Ye Yuan had brought upon him just now was suffocating!

"What... what does he mean? Is he... just letting us go?" one of the Saint Emperor Heavens said, bewildered.

"Letting us go? Heh, how is that possible? Have you forgotten what he said at the Dan Alliance's mountain gate?" Tianlu said with a bitter smile.

That Saint Emperor Heaven's expression changed, and he said, "He... he wants us to hand over the Dan Alliance's wealth on a silver platter?"

Reminded by Tianlu, he also remembered.

Ye Yuan had once said that in the future, even if they begged to bring it to him, he would have to consider it!

At that time, everyone present thought it was just him saving face.

But who would have thought that in just a few short months, Ye Yuan's words would come true!

"Hand it over on a silver platter? Heh, if only it were that simple! Back then, driven by greed, we directly excluded Tiannan. Now, we'll probably have to pay back double! Dao Yun, you've really done me in!" Niu Mo Saint Venerable snorted coldly.

Dao Yun snorted coldly, "Don't forget, your All Saints Hall took sixty percent! Now you're second-guessing?"

Niu Mo Saint Venerable said furiously, "If not for your instigation, would I have done such a thing?"

"Bullshit! You were the one greedy for wealth, and now you want to shift the blame to me? Fine! Even if you shift it to me, Ye Yuan has to accept it!" Dao Yun refused to back down.

"Enough!"

Ziyang Saint Venerable shouted coldly and said in a deep voice, "Be grateful! If not for the fact that we attacked the Dan Alliance but didn't kill him later, we would all be dead by now! To be honest, Ye Yuan is a man of great principles. If we hadn't excluded him afterward and driven out the Five Great Heavenly Sects from the Five Great Heavenly Domains, he wouldn't do anything to us now! In the end, we went too far!"

"It's too late to say anything now! At this point, we can only each sweep the snow from our own doorsteps and show our sincerity! If our sincerity isn't enough, Ye Yuan won't let us off!"

With that, Ziyang Saint Venerable leaped up and disappeared into the horizon.

...

A month later, the remote Tiannan City became lively.

One by one, Saint Emperor Heavens entered Tiannan City in trepidation.

Here, no one dared to fly in!

These Saint Emperor Heavens all descended outside the city and walked in.

"Brother Luo, here is all the wealth our Seven Stars Heavenly Sect obtained from the Dan Alliance. Now we offer it all! Besides these, we have also prepared a small gift. Please accept it, Brother Luo!"

At this moment, Dao Yun Saint Venerable's attitude was very humble.

For this apology, the Seven Stars Heavenly Sect had practically gone bankrupt!

Apart from the wealth obtained from the Dan Alliance, the Seven Stars Heavenly Sect also took out over seventy percent of the sect's wealth to apologize to Ye Yuan.

This could be described as 'trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice'!

Luo Yunqing sat at the head, expressionless, and did not respond.

Dao Yun Saint Venerable was sweating profusely. He knew he was the least favored, and winning Luo Yunqing's forgiveness would be much harder than for others!

But at this moment, he had no choice.

Ye Yuan simply refused to see him, so he had to do everything possible to satisfy Luo Yunqing!

Suddenly, he gritted his teeth and took out a sword, offering it with both hands, saying, "This Xiaoyun Sword was bestowed by Brother Ye! Brother Luo is still using a Tianling Supreme Treasure; this sword is just right for you!"

Luo Yunqing did not refuse. He played with the Xiaoyun Sword for a moment and then put it away.

"The Hongmeng Supreme Treasures in your hands were all given by Ye Yuan! Now it's just returning them to their original owner. Look at you, acting like it pains you!" Luo Yunqing said coldly.

Dao Yun Saint Venerable smiled bitterly. He really couldn't bear to part with it!

With a Hongmeng Supreme Treasure, his combat power would increase by at least thirty percent!

Now, having to return it, he was naturally unwilling.

Luo Yunqing glanced at him indifferently and said, "Is that all?"

Dao Yun Saint Venerable quickly said, "Of course there's more! Regarding Brother Ye's earlier proposal, we think it's very right! Whether native strong or ascended, they are all Heavenly Position powerhouses and should not be distinguished! From now on, the Seven Stars Heavenly Sect will no longer be hostile to ascenders and will allow ascenders to enter the sect! Additionally, Tiannan is after all a small place. Our sects have withdrawn from the Five Radiance Heavenly Domain and respectfully welcome the three ascended heavenly sects to return."

Of the Five Great Heavenly Sects, only three still had Saint Emperor Heaven powerhouses.

The other two sects had neither Saint Emperor Heavens nor many disciples; they were essentially defunct.

The Five Great Heavenly Sects were now only three.

Luo Yunqing glanced at him and said, "You're wise! Ye Yuan instructed that this is the last chance! If you cause any more trouble in the future, you'll bear the consequences!"

"I wouldn't dare! I wouldn't dare!"

Dao Yun Saint Venerable was overjoyed and quickly said he wouldn't dare.

On the other side, Niu Mo Saint Venerable looked at Dahuang, long silent.

"If only you had known this day would come, why did you do it in the first place!" Dahuang snorted coldly.

"Alas, I know I was wrong! But now, regret is too late! Dahuang, for the sake of our brotherhood, help the Myriad Demon Mountains!"

Dahuang was a sentimental person, but he was very disappointed in Niu Mo Saint Venerable.

Crossing the river and burning the bridge, adding insult to injury—that was Niu Mo Saint Venerable's repayment to Ye Yuan!

"Hmph! Without Master Ye, could you have crossed the third Saint Emperor Heavenly Tribulation? By now, you would have turned to dust! Brotherhood? That day in the Dan Alliance's cave, I begged you bitterly, but what about you? Did you show any brotherly feeling? Now you know about brotherhood?" Dahuang sneered.

Niu Mo Saint Venerable nodded and said, "Dahuang, your choice was right! But the Myriad Demon Mountains is after all your homeland. You can't just watch it be destroyed, can you?"

Dahuang said calmly, "Don't worry. For my sake, Master Ye won't make things hard for the Myriad Demon Mountains! But you must behave yourselves, because this is the last chance!"
