Chapter 591: Volunteering for the Mission!

"What did you say! The Heavenly Pagoda... is gone?" Qin Hongtao nearly jumped up.

Ning Yixian and Jing Xuan also changed color drastically, their eyes blazing as they looked at Ye Yuan, waiting for his explanation.

In contrast, although the others were surprised, their reactions were not as exaggerated as those of Ning Yixian and the other two.

In fact, a few even had a hint of schadenfreude in their eyes. After all, the Heavenly Pagoda belonged to the Three Sects, and its disappearance had little to do with them.

"Grandfather, not long after Ye Yuan came out, we were about to leave the Heavenly Secret Realm when suddenly the earth shook and the mountains trembled, and the Heavenly Pagoda rose from the ground and flew away!" Qin Yan spoke first.

Ning Yixian and Jing Xuan both looked at their own disciples; Guo Taoqun and Yin Yanhua nodded slightly.

With the three chief disciples testifying together, the credibility was already quite strong.

After a long silence, Ning Yixian sighed deeply and said, "Forget it, forget it. Such divine objects are beyond our control. This is not the time to dwell on it. Let's continue discussing how to resolve the situation at Red Light City. Ye Yuan, you've returned just in time. The Gale Realm has been advancing unopposed and has already reached Red Light City. Come and offer your advice. By the way, where is Elder Hai?"

Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Elder Hai said he had other matters to attend to, and that you should make the decisions here."

As he spoke, Ye Yuan took the foremost seat at the lower end and sat down, while Liu Hong and the other three actually stood behind him like attendants.

This move by the four of them shocked all the elders.

These four held extremely high status, almost comparable to some of the Divine Travel elders of the sects.

Given their talent, they were bound to become Divine Travel experts in the future, even peak Divine Travel.

That these four would stand behind Ye Yuan like attendants—one could imagine their astonishment.

Ning Yixian and the other two had some guesses but remained expressionless, pretending not to notice.

As for the others, they knew that Seven Seas had kept these four behind, but they had no idea how this situation had come about.

"Ahem!" Ning Yixian cleared his throat and said, "Brother Ye is resourceful. Since he's back, I'll briefly outline the current situation in the Northern Domain so he can offer his suggestions!"

Ye Yuan did not stand on ceremony and nodded. "Thank you, Alliance Leader Ning!"

Having the leader of the Boundless Alliance personally describe the battle situation—Ye Yuan was truly in a league of his own.

Although Ye Yuan was still at the Sea Transformation stage, no one present regarded him as a junior anymore.

This youth's potential was immense!

Even though thousands of years had passed, the name Grand Perfection True Lord still resonated powerfully.

Ye Yuan had gone further in the Heavenly Pagoda than Grand Perfection True Lord, so one could imagine how high his future achievements would be.

Moreover, behind Ye Yuan stood behemoths like Boundless City and Seven Seas. Unless they could kill him silently, he was destined to become a god-like figure in the Boundless Realm.

These elders were no fools; why would they dig their own graves?

Ning Yixian did not mind the trouble and roughly explained the current situation.

Ye Yuan said nothing, listening quietly.

Although Ning Yixian's account was not detailed, Ye Yuan could tell that the Boundless Realm was in a very unfavorable position.

Moreover, from the information Ning Yixian inadvertently revealed, Ye Yuan realized that these big shots had still underestimated the warriors of the Gale Realm, resulting in extremely heavy losses.

These elders each had their own selfish motives; how could they unite as one to resist the Gale Realm?

In fact, Ye Yuan had long anticipated this situation, so he was not surprised.

"Brother Ye, what are your thoughts on the current battle situation?" Finally, Ning Yixian asked Ye Yuan for advice.

Everyone's eyes focused on Ye Yuan, eager to hear his opinion.

After a month of fighting the Gale Realm in a muddled fashion, aside from knowing that the Gale Realm warriors were very strong, these people had little other information.

The Gale Realm warriors left no survivors wherever they went, so very little information was transmitted.

Thus, although the Boundless Alliance seemed powerful, in reality, they had only engaged the Gale Realm in close combat a few times.

But the current situation at Red Light City left the Boundless Alliance with no room to retreat.

Ye Yuan pondered for a moment and said calmly, "The battle at Red Light City is unavoidable!"

Ning Yixian was not surprised and nodded. "I think so too. I was just about to send the Black Flame Sect to reinforce when you returned."

The elder of the Black Flame Sect's heart skipped a beat, thinking, "Here we go again!"

At this moment, anyone who dared to oppose would become the public enemy of the entire Boundless Realm and would come to no good end.

Ye Yuan glanced lightly at the Black Flame Sect elder's expression and shook his head. "I'll go."

Everyone was first stunned, then shocked!

Ye Yuan's move was completely unexpected.

"You? This... isn't appropriate, is it?" Ning Yixian hesitated.

Ye Yuan was Ren Xingchun's grandson, a junior valued by Seven Seas, and the future hope of the Boundless Realm.

How could such an important figure go to the front lines personally, and to the most dangerous place?

The Gale Realm's five armies had besieged Red Light City, making it the most critical point on the front.

With the Gale Realm so powerful, how could Red Light City be easily defended?

If Ye Yuan fell there, Ren Xingchun and Seven Seas would surely fly into a rage!

But Ye Yuan said calmly, "There's nothing inappropriate. Red Light City cannot fall. If it does, half of the Northern Domain will be lost. Then countless lives will be lost, and none of us can bear that responsibility! Moreover, the Gale Realm's five armies have already surrounded Red Light City like an iron bucket. Once the city falls, countless warriors will suffer! So no matter what, Red Light City must be defended! I see that no one here wants to go, so why can't I? Don't worry about Old Ren and Elder Hai. I make my own decisions. If something happens, I won't blame you!"

Seeing his thoughts exposed, Ning Yixian said with slight embarrassment, "Brother Ye, you misunderstand. You are the hope of our Boundless Realm. What you should do now is to improve your strength as quickly as possible. Taking risks is not wise!"

Ye Yuan smiled. "What can improve strength faster than battle? Alright, I've made up my mind. Alliance Leader, please don't stop me."

"Well... alright then. I'll send more experts to accompany you, so they can look after you. If things go wrong, you must do your best to protect yourself! In my eyes, ten Red Light Cities are not as important as one Ye Yuan!" Ning Yixian said firmly.

This was not flattery from Ning Yixian. Ever since he learned that Ye Yuan had reached the eighth floor, his view had become the same as Seven Seas'.

Whether the Boundless Realm could repel the Gale Realm might depend on Ye Yuan!

Unexpectedly, Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "No need. Just the four of them following me is enough."
