Chapter 356: All of You Are Blind

Li Hong was not the only one stunned; most of those present had not seen clearly how Ye Yuan made his move!

Clearly, Ye Yuan was still far from Li Hong, yet in the blink of an eye, he was already by Li Hong's side.

His movement technique was even faster than Li Hong hitting himself!

Only then did Li Hong realize that he had underestimated this Young Master Ji over the past few days. If Ye Yuan had wanted to kill him with that move just now, he would already be a dead man!

However, Ye Yuan's words left Li Hong quite puzzled.

"Young Master Ji, what do you mean by that?" Li Hong asked in confusion.

Ye Yuan's words were inexplicable, seemingly without head or tail, leaving people baffled.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "If you die and he lives, how will you accompany him? By then, you will not only bear a lifetime of infamy but also make your good brother feel guilty for the rest of his life. Why bother?"

Upon hearing Ye Yuan's words, Li Hong was first overjoyed, then smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you for your comfort, Young Master Ji, but Li Yang is indeed dead. With so many people here, could they all be mistaken?"

Just as Ye Yuan was about to speak, an old man snorted coldly, "Where did this ignorant brat come from! Li Yang has no sign of life, not the slightest trace of a living person, and you dare to spout nonsense here! Could it be that all of us Sea Transformation Realm experts are blind?"

Ye Yuan glanced at him and said indifferently, "Indeed, your eyes are blind."

Ye Yuan's words caused an uproar; there were seven or eight Sea Transformation experts in this inner hall.

Especially the clan leader and another old man, both of whom were at the ninth level of the Sea Transformation Realm.

A mere second-level Crystal Condensation brat like Ye Yuan dared to call a group of Sea Transformation experts blind—wasn't that a bit too bold?

Li Hong was greatly alarmed and quickly stopped Ye Yuan, saying, "Young Master Ji, thank you for your kindness. I am deeply grateful! I cannot repay your great kindness in this life, only in the next. But please, Young Master Ji, do not offend the clan leader and the elders on my account. Otherwise, I will die with my eyes open!"

This Li Hong was foolishly endearing, but truly a man of loyalty. However, such an act of proving one's integrity through death needed to be meaningful.

"How ridiculous! If you say Li Yang is not dead, try calling him and see if he answers!" the old man just now rebuked.

Ye Yuan raised an eyebrow and smiled, "And if I do get him to answer?"

The old man sneered, "If you get him to answer, I'll kneel and kowtow to apologize on the spot!"

"Very well, prepare to kowtow and apologize." Ye Yuan said indifferently.

"Hold on! And if you can't get him to answer?" the old man pressed.

"Want to make it big? Fine! I'll play along! How about this: if I can't get him to answer, Li Hong and I will commit suicide to atone; but if I do get him to answer, you will cripple your own cultivation. Do you dare? You're already getting a good deal." Ye Yuan turned the tables on him.

The old man's expression changed; crippling one's cultivation was no joke. And seeing the young man's confident demeanor, it seemed he really had some tricks up his sleeve.

"Nonsense! The dead are paramount. What are your intentions, spouting such wild words here? Guards, seize him!" At this moment, another old man sitting at the head with the clan leader stood up and rebuked.

Li Hong's expression changed drastically and he quickly said, "Vice Clan Leader Yun, Young Master Ji only did this impulsive act for my sake. I hope Vice Clan Leader Yun will not take offense!"

Vice Clan Leader Yun snorted coldly, "You traitor, you still dare to speak! Guards, seize them!"

Ye Yuan looked leisurely, unconcerned, and said indifferently, "Clan Leader, it seems someone doesn't want your beloved son to be revived."

The clan leader, who had been listless, was jolted awake by these words and quickly said, "Everyone, stop!"

The clan leader suddenly stood up, came before Ye Yuan, and said with an imposing manner, "Is Xiao Yang really not dead?"

Lan Feng quickly moved to block in front of Ye Yuan, but Ye Yuan stopped him.

"Not dead." Ye Yuan said indifferently, unaffected.

"Good, go ahead and try! But if I find you're joking about Xiao Yang, you know the consequences!" The clan leader's tone turned murderous in the latter half.

Under everyone's astonished gaze, Ye Yuan patted the clan leader on the shoulder and said calmly, "Don't worry, I won't ruin my own reputation."

The clan leader's murderous aura and Ye Yuan's calm composure formed a stark contrast. The scene looked extremely comical, but no one dared to laugh.

No one dared to laugh at a joke about the clan leader's son!

Everyone thought Ye Yuan was crazy. Provoking the clan leader like this—was he really afraid he hadn't lived long enough?

Li Yang was clearly already a dead man; how could he come back to life? Could it be that so many elders couldn't even tell whether a person was alive or dead?

Especially Li Hong, when he saw Ye Yuan pat the clan leader's shoulder, his heart nearly jumped out of his throat.

That was the clan leader, a peak ninth-level Sea Transformation existence! If he slapped down, wouldn't Ye Yuan be smashed into a pulp?

Li Hong had long sensed Li Yang's corpse; there was absolutely no sign of life. How could he possibly come back to life?

He desperately tugged at Ye Yuan's clothes, but Ye Yuan completely ignored him.

These people, of course, could not tell that Ye Yuan was staking his reputation as the Alchemy Emperor!

Nothing was more trustworthy than such a guarantee!

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Ye Yuan leisurely walked to the coffin. Li Yang lay peacefully inside, as if asleep.

From his aura, one could tell that he was a half-step Sea Transformation expert in life.

Li Yang seemed to be about the same age as Mo Yuntian, yet he had already half a foot into the Sea Transformation Realm. He was indeed a rare genius, no wonder Li Hong was so devoted to him.

Ye Yuan took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

"Seeing how confident the young man looks, could the young clan leader really come back to life?"

"What nonsense are you talking! The young clan leader's breath has ceased, his life force is gone. How could he come back to life!"

"But..."

"But what? This kid is clearly putting on an act! Who knows where this wild brat came from, speaking so arrogantly and desecrating the young clan leader's remains!"

The members of the Tengyun Tribe were all dismissive of Ye Yuan's words.

Li Yan tugged at Li Hong's clothes and whispered, "Young Master Ji, he..."

Li Hong sighed and said, "Alas, I don't know what to do either. Let's just wait and see."

Just then, Ye Yuan's eyes snapped open. With a gentle tap on the coffin, Li Yang's body sat up straight.

Ye Yuan soared into the air, his hands rapidly tapping on Li Yang's various acupoints!

With each tap, a faint yellow Yuan force was injected into Li Yang's acupoints, looking extremely dazzling.

But Li Yang's body showed no reaction, and the crowd could not sense any vital energy from him.

After a hundred breaths, Ye Yuan spun in midair, came behind Li Yang, and struck down hard with his palm!

With a "puff," a mouthful of black blood spurted from Li Yang's mouth!

Then, he fell straight back into the coffin.

Everyone held their breath...
