Chapter 629: The Young Master

"Although you have refined the dragon blood and are considered half-demon, you are still human at heart. The Divine Forbidden Demon Domain forbids humans from setting foot here. You may be spared the death penalty, but you cannot escape punishment. For the rest of your life, you will spend it in our clan's dungeon!" Yu Huan completely ignored Ye Yuan's act and directly intended to imprison him.

Ye Yuan was extremely frustrated. He had put on such a performance, yet this old woman had no shred of pity?

Wasn't this old woman asking all these questions just to find out where the dragon blood was?

But Ye Yuan really hadn't lied; there really was only one drop of dragon blood!

"Hey, old woman, you're being unreasonable! I've already explained, why are you still like this?" Ye Yuan said gloomily.

"Hmph! You should be grateful that you fell into the hands of our Jade-Faced Immortal Fox clan. If you had appeared in the territory of the Black Wind Demon Wolves, they would have directly killed you and then refined your bloodline!" Yu Huan snorted coldly.

Her words gave Ye Yuan goosebumps, but he knew she was telling the truth.

The Jade-Faced Immortal Fox clan was, after all, relatively gentle, but the Black Wind Demon Wolves were different.

Although demon clans had high ranks, they could not escape their beastly nature.

Even though Ye Yuan had already refined the true dragon's essence blood and it could no longer be used by others, if someone refined Ye Yuan's bloodline, they could still obtain a high concentration of dragon bloodline.

Even if that bloodline was inferior to the true dragon's essence blood, the Black Wind Demon Wolves wouldn't care about that!

After all, the dragon bloodline was extremely precious and highly beneficial to all demon clans.

Yu Huan had gone to such great lengths just to find the whereabouts of the dragon blood.

But Ye Yuan's answer had greatly disappointed her.

From Yu Huan's words, Ye Yuan also picked up on some nuances.

It seemed that the Divine Forbidden Demon Domain was not a paradise. When Yu Huan mentioned the Black Wind Demon Wolf clan, her tone was clearly filled with deep wariness and hatred.

These two clans were probably not on good terms.

Just then, a little white fox hurriedly entered the hall and said urgently, "Ancestor, ancestor, it's bad! The young master... the young master is dying!"

At these words, Yu Leng and Yu Shu were greatly shocked. Yu Huan's expression also changed drastically, and she vanished like a gust of wind, not even bothering with Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan noticed that upon hearing this news, Yu Leng became completely distraught. She slumped to the ground, utterly dejected.

At times she gnashed her teeth, at times she looked melancholy, her expression shifting dramatically.

Ye Yuan couldn't help but feel curious and quietly asked Yu Shu, "Sister Yu Shu, what happened to your young master...?"

Yu Shu had been crying all along, and by now she was already a tearful mess, her eyes red from weeping.

When Ye Yuan asked, Yu Shu sobbed, "The young master was injured by Lang Ya while protecting us! It's all because we were useless. If our strength had been a bit greater, the young master wouldn't have..."

But from Yu Leng's words, Ye Yuan also got a general idea.

It turned out that the territory where the Jade-Faced Immortal Fox clan lived was called Green Mountain Domain, and the strongest clan in Green Mountain Domain was the Black Wind Demon Wolf clan.

In comparison, the Jade-Faced Immortal Fox clan was weaker. The Black Wind Demon Wolf clan often bullied these weaker races, forcing them to offer resources.

Some time ago, the young master of the Black Wind Wolf Clan, Lang Ya, led a large group to the Jade-Faced Fox Clan, demanding that they offer one Jade-Faced Fox in the Transformation Stage each year to become his concubine.

Moreover, Lang Ya wanted to take one away on the spot!

The young master of the Jade-Faced Fox Clan naturally refused, and a conflict broke out between the two sides.

As a result, Lang Ya severely injured the young master of the Jade-Faced Fox Clan.

The little fox who came just now clearly indicated that the young master's injuries had worsened, and it seemed she would not live much longer.

After hearing the whole story, Ye Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

The demon race is actually more brutal than the human race, always following the law of the jungle, where might makes right.

The Jade-Faced Fox Clan is nothing more than a group of little foxes raised by the Black Wind Wolf Clan.

"By the way, your clan's ancestor is a sixth-order powerhouse. How could he let that Lang Ya act recklessly?" Ye Yuan asked curiously.

Yu Shu cried, "The ancestor happened to be in seclusion for a life-and-death breakthrough at that time, so he didn't know about this. Lang Ya must have known the ancestor was in seclusion and chose this moment to come. Otherwise, the ancestor wouldn't have let the young master come to harm!"

Ye Yuan suddenly understood; it seemed they had deliberately chosen this opportunity.

But Ye Yuan was also secretly astonished—if the Jade-Faced Fox Clan had a sixth-order ancestor, how powerful must the Black Wind Wolf Clan be?

At the very least, they must also have a sixth-order ancestor, right?

Ye Yuan patted Yu Shu's fragrant shoulder and said with a smile, "Alright, alright, stop crying. If you keep crying, you won't be pretty anymore! How about this: take me to your young master, and I'll see if I can save her, okay?"

Yu Shu finally broke into a smile through her tears. She grabbed Ye Yuan's hand and said excitedly, "Really? Brother Ye Yuan, can you really save the young master?"

Yu Shu's little hand was very soft, and Ye Yuan felt a fragrance wafting over, which he found quite pleasant.

"Well... I can't guarantee it, but it should be possible!" Ye Yuan said with a smile.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, Yu Leng suddenly stood up with a 'clatter' and pressed Ye Yuan, asking, "Can you really save the young master?"

Ye Yuan was startled by Yu Leng's movement, surprised by her strong reaction, but he still nodded and said, "As long as she's not dead yet, there's always a chance to save her. Hmm... but I need to see her first!"

Yu Leng glared at him and said, "If you dare to deceive me, I will kill you with my own hands!"

Ye Yuan's expression changed at her words, and he was about to lose his temper, but Yu Shu stopped him.

"Brother Ye Yuan, don't be angry. Sister Yu Leng is just emotional because of what happened! Last time Lang Ya came, the one he chose was Sister Yu Leng, so she blames herself more than anyone else! Actually, Sister Yu Leng wasn't like this before. Ever since the young master got hurt, she has completely changed, training day and night just to improve her strength," Yu Shu explained.

Yu Leng glared at Yu Shu and scolded, "Why are you telling him all this?"

Yu Shu stuck out her tongue and lowered her head, not daring to retort.

Ye Yuan had originally taken a dislike to Yu Leng, but after hearing Yu Shu's words, he forgave her.

Anyone faced with such a situation would undergo a drastic change in temperament.

After hearing so much from them, Ye Yuan couldn't help but feel sympathy for the Jade-Faced Fox Clan.

Ye Yuan nodded to Yu Leng and said, "Alright, I promise you, I will definitely save your young master! Hah, I don't believe there's anyone in this world—oh no, any demon—that I, Ye Yuan, can't save!"
