Chapter 975: White Light's Predicament

"Hmm? Did White Light really send you?" Ye Yuan said happily.

Ye Yuan had not heard from White Light for a long time. If not for having to rescue Yue Mengli, he would have gone looking for White Light immediately.

Now that Yue Mengli had been rescued and he had unexpectedly obtained the Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye, Ye Yuan was planning to head to the Demon Domain to find White Light.

Unexpectedly, White Light had sent someone to find him first.

Bai Po said, "The young master told me to tell Young Master Ye, do you still remember that little white tiger from the Boundless Forest?"

Hearing this, Ye Yuan was overjoyed and said, "It really is White Light! You call him young master? How is White Light doing now?"

When White Light had suddenly left back then, Ye Yuan had been extremely reluctant to part.

The two of them had depended on each other since the Boundless Forest and had never been separated.

Who would have thought that White Light's departure would last several years.

But for some reason, White Light seemed to have become the young master of the White Tiger Clan, which greatly surprised Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan knew something about the White Tiger Clan, understanding that it had many branches, but the three most powerful were the Crimson Flame White Tiger, the Suppressing War White Tiger, and the Flowing Light White Tiger!

Each of these three branches had its strengths: the Crimson Flame White Tiger excelled at controlling fire, the Suppressing War White Tiger possessed immense strength, and the Flowing Light White Tiger was known for its speed.

If White Light had become the young master of the tiger clan, it was likely that he was the young master of the Flowing Light White Tigers.

Of course, there was another possibility: that White Light had become the universally respected young master of the entire White Tiger Clan!

But Ye Yuan felt that in just a few short years, White Light probably could not have achieved that.

Ye Yuan was just feeling happy when he suddenly noticed that Bai Po's expression was off, and his heart sank.

"Has White Light run into some trouble?" Ye Yuan asked.

Bai Po nodded and said, "Actually, in two months, our White Tiger Clan will select the next young clan leader, and Young Master White Light is one of the candidates. Our Flowing Light White Tigers have been weak for many years and originally had no hope. But the appearance of Young Master White Light made us see hope again. Unexpectedly..."

"Unexpectedly, they attacked him using the excuse of impure bloodline, right?" Ye Yuan interjected.

Bai Po was stunned and looked at Ye Yuan in surprise.

"You... how did you know?"

The Demon Domain was relatively independent, and news was also relatively blocked from the Divine Realm. There was no reason for Ye Yuan to have heard about the White Tiger Clan's affairs.

Yet this Ye Yuan had hit the nail on the head about the difficulties Young Master White Light faced. Was he a prophet?

Ye Yuan did not answer but instead asked, "With White Light's cultivation speed, he has probably already broken through to the ninth rank, right?"

Bai Po nodded and said, "Young Master White Light is a cultivation prodigy. He broke through to the ninth rank as early as half a year ago! His strength is now no less than that of the young masters of the other two branches."

Speaking of White Light, Bai Po was also very proud. The Flowing Light White Tigers had been weak for many years, and White Light's appearance had brought them glory.

Ye Yuan said, "That's right! Do you know how many years it took White Light to cultivate from the first rank to the ninth?"

Bai Po shook his head blankly. White Light never spoke to them about his past, so they did not know what he had experienced before returning to the White Tiger Clan.

If not for White Light sending him to find Ye Yuan this time, he would not have known that White Light even had friends among the humans.

"One... one hundred years?" Bai Po said weakly.

One hundred years was not because Bai Po thought it was too long, but because he thought it was too short!

Although the White Tiger Clan had divine beast bloodlines, it still took thousands of years to cultivate to the ninth rank.

Even for geniuses, it took at least several hundred years. The young masters of the other two branches had cultivated for about five hundred years, which was already considered very impressive.

Bai Po inferred from Ye Yuan's words that White Light's cultivation speed should be very fast, so he made a bold guess.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "You underestimate White Light too much! When I first met him, he was only at the first rank, and that was just over ten years ago."

Hearing this, Bai Po's pupils contracted sharply.

He knew that Young Master White Light had extraordinary talent, but he never expected that he had only taken a little over ten years to go from the first rank to the ninth.

Such talent was truly heaven-defying!

Of course, if he knew that the freak in front of him had only taken ten years and was already comparable to a Dao Profound realm expert, he did not know what he would think.

Moreover, the reason White Light cultivated so fast was all thanks to Ye Yuan.

Without Ye Yuan's pills, White Light would probably have needed at least a hundred years to reach his current realm.

"So, White Light's White Tiger bloodline is only superior to the other two branches, which is probably why they joined forces to deal with him! And the only problem with White Light is his impure bloodline!" Ye Yuan said calmly.

Bai Po's eyes widened as he looked at Ye Yuan in disbelief.

He now somewhat understood why Young Master White Light wanted to find this young man.

From beginning to end, he had only said a few words. Yet Ye Yuan had used those few words to guess the internal strife of the tiger clan with almost perfect accuracy!

Such insight was terrifying to think about.

"Tell me about the current situation of the White Tiger Clan," Ye Yuan said calmly.

At this point, Bai Po was completely convinced by Ye Yuan. Hearing Ye Yuan's request, he did not hesitate and quickly recounted the current situation of the White Tiger Clan.

The current clan leader of the White Tiger Clan was from the Crimson Flame White Tiger branch, and the clan's council of elders was also mostly composed of members from the Crimson Flame and Suppressing War branches.

Although the Flowing Light White Tigers were nominally one of the three major branches, they had gradually declined and were in danger of being replaced by other branches.

The demon race valued bloodline the most, especially a race like the White Tiger Clan with extremely pure divine beast bloodlines, which was very particular about this aspect.

Ye Yuan had long noticed that White Light was somewhat different from ordinary White Tigers, but he never expected that this would become an obstacle to White Light becoming the young clan leader.

Now the council of elders had questioned White Light's identity. Although the Flowing Light White Tigers strongly opposed it, their faction was weak, and they were under great pressure.

If things continued like this, it was not just a matter of competing for the young clan leader; it was even uncertain whether White Light could stay in the White Tiger Clan.

Ye Yuan's expression was calm, and he did not say anything. He only said to Bai Po, "Go and rest. Tomorrow morning, I will go with you to the White Tiger Clan!"

Bai Po was overjoyed. Although Ye Yuan's strength was a bit weak, his wisdom might just be able to turn the tide!

After seeing Bai Po off, Ye Yuan went to find Yue Mengli.

Yue Mengli had spent a long time with White Light, and their bond was deep. Moreover, White Light was Ye Yuan's brother, so she naturally would not hinder Ye Yuan in this matter.

Without any hesitation, she immediately agreed to leave with Ye Yuan.
