Chapter 691: I'm Coming In Right Now!

"Patriarch, that Ye Yuan has been advancing unopposed and is already approaching Wufang City!"

In Wufang City, Shangguan Wenrui sat leisurely in the city lord's mansion. A Divine Travel realm expert from the Shangguan family was reporting to him on the movements of Ye Yuan's army.

Shangguan Wenrui laughed, "Just a mere Ye Yuan. No matter how strong he is, can he possibly contend with our ten half-step Boundless realm experts?"

That subordinate was puzzled. Yesterday the patriarch had been frantic with worry, so why was he so indifferent today?

News of the million-strong army's defeat had spread, and the entire Wufang City was in a state of panic.

As the supreme commander of the invasion of Boundless Realm, Shangguan Wenrui had been as restless as an ant on a hot pan just a few days ago, pacing anxiously.

Among Ye Yuan's army were two experts of unfathomable strength who had annihilated all the Divine Travel realm experts with a single strike.

This was the news brought back by the retreating army.

In comparison, the news that Ye Yuan had single-handedly killed Xue Hongfei seemed less shocking.

Clearly, Shangguan Wenrui feared those two experts!

But what was going on today?

"Patriarch, according to the retreating soldiers, those two experts are extremely powerful and killed Divine Travel realm experts effortlessly. Could it be... that you are not at all worried?" the subordinate couldn't help but ask curiously.

Shangguan Wenrui stroked his beard and laughed, "Experts? What experts? Hahaha..."

"..."

The subordinate was speechless. He really couldn't understand where the patriarch's confidence came from.

"Alright, put your mind at ease! When Ye Yuan comes, I'll make sure he never returns!" Shangguan Wenrui laughed heartily.

...

A few days later, Ye Yuan advanced unopposed, routing the Windbound Realm army along the way, and finally arrived at the gates of Wufang City.

At this moment, this majestic and magnificent city had long since changed beyond recognition.

Ye Yuan had originally thought that along the way, the big shots from the Three Sects would come to join him.

But after such a long time, not a single person had come, which gave him a bad feeling.

His advance had been extremely conspicuous; logically, some experts should have heard the news and come.

So there were only two possibilities: either they had hidden in a very remote place and couldn't get news of Boundless Realm, or... they had all been wiped out, or even...

Ye Yuan didn't even dare to think about the latter possibility.

If it had really happened, even if he tore Zhao Tianyin apart alive, it would be useless.

On the city wall of Wufang, an old man stood opposite Ye Yuan from afar. It was Shangguan Wenrui.

"Ye Yuan, I never imagined that in just two or three years, you would already be qualified to stand on equal footing with me! Although I don't know why the Wind Emperor let you go back then, there's no doubt that it was the biggest mistake he ever made!" said Shangguan Wenrui.

"Oh? It seems that back then, when I fought Zhao Chengqian, you were also watching from the sidelines?" Ye Yuan quickly figured out the connection.

Shangguan Wenrui didn't bother to hide it and nodded, "Indeed! With your talent, if you can't be a friend, you must be eliminated! I thought that with the Wind Emperor acting personally, you would surely die. Who knew that later news would come that you had escaped? It surprised me greatly!"

Ye Yuan sneered, "It's not that Zhao Tianyin didn't want to kill me, but that he couldn't! But... after I deal with you, I'll naturally go settle accounts with him!"

Shangguan Wenrui laughed, "Heh, even now, you still want to bluff? Your talent is good, but your realm is still a bit low. Do you think you alone can contend with the entire Boundless Realm?"

Ye Yuan was taken aback, somewhat bewildered, "Bluff?"

Shangguan Wenrui assumed Ye Yuan was playing dumb and laughed, "Those two experts by your side are no longer here. With just you, a Soul Sea ninth-layer peak, you want to turn the tide? Heroes aren't so easy to be!"

Hearing this, Ye Yuan's expression changed, "So Zhao Tianyin was behind this all along! I see... It seems the grudge is getting deeper and deeper!"

These past few days, Ye Yuan had been wondering how Zhou Yan had found Yue Mengli.

He hadn't expected Zhao Tianyin to have a hand in it!

It seemed he was wary of Yue Mengli, so he first found a way to notify the Divine Realm.

Yue Mengli's Moonlight Heavenly Eye was too conspicuous and easily recognized.

Even if Zhao Tianyin didn't recognize the Moonlight Heavenly Eye, the people from the Divine Realm behind him surely would.

So that was what had happened the other day!

This Zhao Tianyin was truly despicable!

Shangguan Wenrui laughed, "Youth truly is reckless! With your current strength, do you think you can contend with a Boundless realm expert?"

Ye Yuan had now calmed down and said indifferently, "That's not something you need to worry about. You'd better think about how to get through today!"

Shangguan Wenrui laughed heartily, "Without those two super experts, I really don't know where you get the confidence to be so arrogant before me! Take a look at who they are!"

Shangguan Wenrui made a gesture, and a group of people was brought onto the city wall.

When Ye Yuan saw that group, his expression darkened!

Ren Xingchun, Qin Hongtao, Ning Yixian, Jingxuan... One familiar face after another made Ye Yuan's face twitch uncontrollably.

When his gaze fell on the last person, he was startled.

Qihai!

Qihai was a half-step Boundless realm expert, and even he had fallen in Wufang City?

Was the strength of Windbound Realm really that formidable?

But Ye Yuan knew that Shangguan Wenrui was a genuine half-step Boundless realm!

Ye Yuan looked at those once-arrogant Boundless Realm experts on the city wall, all now reduced to prisoners of Windbound Realm!

Their dantians were sealed, and they were all tied up, looking extremely awkward.

Shangguan Wenrui pointed at the people behind him and said calmly, "Shangguan Yunrong and Shangguan Lingyun both died at your hands. Because of you, the Shangguan family's strength has greatly diminished. Heaven has eyes, sending you before me!"

Shangguan Wenrui was clearly a man of deep cunning. Though he hated Ye Yuan to the core, his words were calm and light, revealing none of the anger within.

Only then did Ye Yuan realize that this old man before him was the patriarch of the Shangguan family.

Shangguan Wenrui laughed, "Ye Yuan, do you see the grand formation of Wufang City? How about we play a game?"

Ye Yuan said nothing, waiting for him to continue, curious to see what this fellow was up to.

Seeing that Ye Yuan didn't respond, Shangguan Wenrui added, "This grand formation of Wufang City was left by the Great衍 True Sect, which once sealed the passage between realms. Its power is immense! From now on, every ten breaths, I will kill one person, until you break through the formation. How about that?"

Ye Yuan was stunned. Was this guy brain-damaged...

"You don't need to count. I'm coming in right now!" Ye Yuan's calm voice rang out.
