Chapter 360: The Small Illusion Array!

Zhu Yun's face darkened as he saw a series of familiar faces.

Li Teng, Li Hong, Li Min, and of course, Ye Yuan.

When his gaze fell on Li Yang, he froze! That kid Ji Qing had really cured Li Yang!

Whether intentionally or not, Ye Yuan had stepped to the front, keeping a certain distance from the others.

Zhu Yun, who had been in despair, secretly rejoiced at this.

"Looking for death!"

Zhu Yun suddenly burst into action, reaching for Ye Yuan's throat, intending to seize him as a hostage!

But when he reached Ye Yuan, he immediately sensed something was wrong. Ye Yuan seemed not to see him at all, neither dodging nor avoiding!

Zhu Yun's vision blurred, and he actually passed straight through Ye Yuan's body, startling him greatly!

"Vice Patriarch, you really are calm in the face of danger, even thinking of taking me hostage. But... you won't have the chance." Ye Yuan still stood in place, smiling as he looked at Zhu Yun.

The grand array that Ye Yuan had spent an entire day setting up—how could Zhu Yun easily break it?

The fact that Ye Yuan had spent a whole day on it spoke volumes about its power.

This array was none other than one derived from Lu Linfeng's Asura Illusion Killing Array!

Ye Yuan called it the Small Illusion Array!

Though the name sounded ordinary, its power was extremely terrifying!

The complete Asura Illusion Killing Array was an illusion-killing array. Not to mention Sea Transformation realm martial artists, even the Wind Emperor of the Hurricane Realm, a Boundless realm expert, would have no chance of survival if they entered!

If the Grand Yan Sect Master had understood this array back then, he wouldn't have needed to sacrifice the entire sect to protect the Boundless Realm; he could have used this array to trap and kill the Wind Emperor of the Hurricane Realm!

Although Ye Yuan had comprehended this array, he could only unleash less than a thousandth of its power.

So he took a different approach, stripping out the illusion component and lowering the difficulty, resulting in this Small Illusion Array!

Even so, it had taken Ye Yuan an entire day!

Now, the effect was quite impressive. Zhu Yun, at the ninth level of Sea Transformation, was trapped inside and couldn't find his bearings.

This array had no killing power; it was purely a trapping array. But escaping it was as difficult as reaching the heavens!

The terrifying aspect of the Small Illusion Array was that even when standing right in front of you, you couldn't see me!

Zhu Yun gnashed his teeth in rage and roared, "You little brat, I'll kill you!"

Zhu Yun recklessly lunged at Ye Yuan, but Ye Yuan was like the moon in water or a flower in a mirror—he simply couldn't touch him!

At this moment, Zhu Yun was like a monkey being toyed with.

"Stop wasting your strength. You can't hit me." Ye Yuan said calmly.

After thrashing about for a long time, Zhu Yun exhausted himself but hadn't even grazed Ye Yuan, leaving him deeply frustrated.

At that moment, Li Teng slowly walked out and came before Zhu Yun, sighing, "Ah... old friend, why must you do this!"

Seeing Li Teng, Zhu Yun laughed maniacally, "Hahaha... Li Teng! Are you here to pity me as a victor? I don't need it!"

Li Teng sighed again, "Old friend, we have worked together for centuries, weathering countless storms and facing life and death many times. Have you forgotten all those years of camaraderie?"

"Spare me that! Li Teng, how dare you bring that up! In terms of contributions to the Tengyun Tribe, how am I inferior to you? Why should you be the patriarch while I only take orders from you?"

Li Teng shook his head, "If you wanted the patriarch's position, you could have told me openly. Why did you have to harm Xiao Yang? You know he is my lifeblood, yet you struck at your own nephew! If Xiao Hong hadn't been fortunate enough to bring back Young Master Ji, Xiao Yang would have been killed by you! You watched him grow up—how could you bear it!"

"Hmph! Why? You've overshadowed me my whole life—must my son also be overshadowed by yours? I can accept not being patriarch, but I cannot tolerate my son being beneath others!" Zhu Yun roared.

At this point, Ye Yuan interjected, "Your son has great ambitions but little talent, and lacks virtue. If he became patriarch, wouldn't he lead the entire tribe into the abyss? People can be selfish, but don't drag others into your selfishness! The other tribe members are innocent—why should they be sacrificed for your selfishness?"

Ye Yuan's words struck a nerve, and Zhu Yun roared at him, "Who do you think you are, daring to lecture me?"

"Slap!"

A crisp sound!

Zhu Yun's face was solidly struck!

Though Ye Yuan's slap felt no different from a tickle to him, the humiliation was far more acute than the physical sensation.

"Such a foul mouth!" Ye Yuan said coldly.

"Ah! Kid, I'll kill you!" Zhu Yun howled at the sky.

But it was all in vain; he simply couldn't hit Ye Yuan.

"Old patriarch, finish him off. This guy is stubborn and unrepentant—there's nothing to miss." Ye Yuan said calmly.

Li Teng frowned, hesitating.

"He who hesitates is lost. Keeping someone like this will only lead your tribe to decline; it's utterly useless!" Ye Yuan said.

Li Teng pondered for a long time, then let out a deep sigh and slowly walked toward Zhu Yun...

...

In the inner hall of the patriarch's residence, Li Teng and Li Yang bowed deeply to Ye Yuan.

"Thank you for your great kindness, Young Master Ji! Without you, my son and I would have met with disaster!" Li Teng said.

His words carried much reverence and awe toward Ye Yuan.

Not to mention anything else, the mere existence of that mysterious and wonderful array made Li Teng deeply wary.

His strength wasn't too far from Zhu Yun's; without the Small Illusion Array, the Tengyun Tribe would surely have been drenched in blood this time.

Now, resolving the internal strife without bloodshed was a win-win for everyone.

"Thank you for your grace of rebirth, Young Master Ji! To be honest, we Li family members, from top to bottom, owe you too much. I am truly overwhelmed!" Li Yang added.

Ye Yuan waved his hand and smiled, "You don't need to thank me. If anyone, thank Li Hong. I originally couldn't be bothered with your affairs, but that kid was so naive and innocent that he moved me to pity."

In truth, Li Hong was much older than Ye Yuan, but Ye Yuan calling him 'kid' felt completely natural.

"Alas! Our entire Tengyun Tribe owes our lives to Young Master Ji. From now on, whatever you command, our tribe will go through fire and water without hesitation!" Li Yang said.

It must be said that Li Yang was far superior to Zhu Tian. His words and actions gave people a feeling of spring breeze, and it was no wonder he had won the hearts of the younger generation of the Tengyun Tribe.

Ye Yuan smiled and waved his hand, "No need for fire and water. Just lend me the teleportation array. I'm in a hurry, so I won't delay any longer. Let's set off now."
