Chapter 664: Dark Forest

Bai Guang’s words left Hu Rong looking embarrassed.

“This… Tiger Lord, you know the Tiger Clan is in a critical period now…”

Bai Guang waved his hand and said, “Enough, enough, so much nonsense! I don’t care about the past, but remember this now: you can provoke anyone, but never provoke my big brother!”

Bai Guang paused, then said, “Because… you can’t afford it!”

Bai Guang’s words startled everyone.

But by now, no one doubted this statement.

Ye Yuan’s origins were mysterious; he had severely injured Peng Yun against all odds and held the entire Peng Clan in check.

Now Peng Hai was at Ye Yuan’s beck and call, like a grandson.

The Dragon Lord had come to Ye Yuan to bluster, only to be beaten into a pig’s head.

The Tiger Clan had wanted to make things difficult for Ye Yuan, but who knew he and the Tiger Lord were close friends?

Judging by the current situation, if Bai Guang had to choose between Ye Yuan and the Tiger Clan, he would unhesitatingly pick Ye Yuan.

Who could afford to provoke such a person?

Ye Yuan’s strength was clearly not great, yet no one present could do anything about him.

Hu Rong looked troubled and said, “But… this way we will inevitably offend the Dragon Lord.”

“Dragon Lord? The Dragon Lord is nothing but a fart before my big brother! Also, if you don’t want to offend the Dragon Lord, then you’ll have to offend me, the Tiger Lord. You decide!” Bai Guang said disdainfully.

“This…”

“This what! Apologize to my big brother now! If not for my sake, do you think my big brother would let you off easily given what you’ve done?” Bai Guang said, angry at his lack of ambition.

Now the Peng Clan’s attitude hung on Ye Yuan’s whim.

If Ye Yuan allied with the Peng Clan to attack the Tiger Clan, the consequences would be dire.

So Bai Guang’s words were by no means an exaggeration.

Hu Rong was no fool. After struggling for a while, he finally bowed his head.

He came before Ye Yuan and said, “Young Master Ye Yuan, I, Hu Rong, have indeed judged a gentleman’s heart with a petty mind. Please, Young Master Ye Yuan, be lenient.”

With Bai Guang around, Ye Yuan naturally wouldn’t really do anything to the Tiger Clan.

Moreover, in the current situation, it was clearly better to have mutual checks and balances than to destroy any side.

Having the cards in one’s own hand was different from having them in someone else’s.

Ye Yuan nodded and said, “Today, it’s all for Bai Guang’s sake. Otherwise, I wouldn’t mind paying a visit to the Peng Clan.”

Peng Hai was naturally very unwilling to hear this. But at this moment, he could do nothing about Ye Yuan.

He had already made his calculations in his heart: once Young Master Peng Yun’s injuries healed, he would definitely make Ye Yuan pay.

But Peng Hai naturally wouldn’t show it on his face. He stepped forward and said, “Young Master Ye, about Young Master Peng Yun’s injuries…”

Ye Yuan nodded and said, “As long as you bring the Kunpeng essence blood, it will be fine. I’ll start the furnace and refine the pill to heal Peng Yun in a while.”

Peng Hai was overjoyed and said, “I’ll send a message to the clan leader right away!”

“Wait!” Just as Peng Hai was about to leave, Ye Yuan called him back.

“Does Young Master Ye have any other instructions?” Peng Hai asked cautiously.

“Yes, I haven’t finished speaking yet.”

Peng Hai’s heart skipped a beat, and he sensed trouble.

Sure enough, he heard Ye Yuan say slowly, “Earlier, I didn’t control my strength, so Peng Yun’s injuries are a bit severe. Although my pill can heal him, the effect of one pill won’t be enough.”

Peng Hai’s face turned indescribably ugly.

What do you mean one pill isn't enough?

To be able to injure Peng Yun like that without crippling him—how precise must that strike have been!

He even anticipated my arrival before I came.

With such precision in his technique, how could he lack a sense of measure?

Only a ghost would believe you!

But... it was utterly useless.

Now whatever Ye Yuan said, went.

"Then... about how long will it take to fully recover?" Penghai asked with a trembling voice.

"Hmm... about half a year. Take the elixir once every two months; three pills should be enough."

“……”

Penghai left, his face full of dejection.

……

In a secret chamber of the Tiger Clan, Ye Yuan and Bai Guang embraced again, both clearly excited.

“Haha, big brother, I never thought I’d see you here! I just broke through not long ago and was about to mobilize the Tiger Clan to find you! I knew that with your skills, you’d definitely make it out of the Devouring Mist!” Bai Guang said, quite stirred.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, “I never expected this either! How did you get out of the Devouring Mist, and how did you become the Tiger Lord?”

Ye Yuan guessed that the Tiger Lord was probably a similar existence to the Dragon Lord.

He just didn’t know why Hu Rong was so wary of Bai Guang, who was only at the fifth rank.

Only after Bai Guang explained did Ye Yuan suddenly understand.

It turned out that after Bai Guang entered the Devouring Mist, the mist had no effect on him at all.

Ye Yuan had exhausted all the pills that could restore his primal power, breaking through to the state of a heart as firm as a rock, before he barely managed to rush out.

After hearing about Bai Guang's experience, Ye Yuan was also left speechless.

However, after Bai Guang emerged from the Devouring Mist, he ended up far from Ye Yuan, appearing directly near the Tiger Clan.

Bai Guang's bloodline power captivated all the Tiger Clan members.

Bai Guang's Tiger Clan bloodline was far stronger than even that of the Dragon Lord.

Not only that, Bai Guang's bloodline power was even purer than the essence blood in the Tiger Clan's sacred land.

Such a pure White Tiger bloodline was naturally revered as a deity by the Tiger Clan, who believed Bai Guang had emerged from there.

When the Dragon Lord visited the Tiger Clan, he was at most a friend. But Bai Guang's status in the Tiger Clan was entirely different.

He was like a prince descending into the mortal world, greatly esteemed by the Tiger Clan.

"Ever since I entered the Divine Prohibited Demon Domain, I've been hearing about that place. Now I know it's called the Dark Forest. I wonder what kind of place this Dark Forest is, that all the demon clans are so tight-lipped about it," Ye Yuan said in confusion.

One must know that in this Divine Prohibited Demon Domain, Sixth-Order experts were everywhere, and there were even legends of Seventh-Order experts.

Even such powerful beings were extremely wary of the Dark Forest.

Bai Guang shook his head and said, "I don't know either! But I heard from Hu Rong and the others that the Dark Forest is a forbidden area in the Divine Prohibited Demon Domain, and no one can approach it. No matter how strong one is, approaching it leads to inexplicable death."

Ye Yuan exclaimed in surprise, "Even Seventh-Order experts can't enter?"

Bai Guang shook his head and said, "Can't enter! But out of curiosity, I once ran to the outskirts of the Dark Forest. At that time, the bloodline within me stirred faintly, as if that place had a great connection to my origin!"

Hearing the White Tiger's words, Ye Yuan was also slightly startled.

Could it be that Bai Guang had emerged from the forbidden area within the forbidden area of the Boundless Forest?

But Bai Guang also said that as soon as he approached the Dark Forest, a dangerous aura followed, as if warning him, so he dared not go deeper.

Ye Yuan was also extremely astonished. It seemed that the Boundless Realm truly hid secrets everywhere!
