Chapter 983: Infiltration

In the White Tiger dungeon, Bai Guang looked at the pitiful figure before him, his heart aching.

"Guang, do it."

Fang Xiao closed her eyes in pain, two streams of tears sliding down from the corners of her eyes.

Fang Xiao's resignation caught Bai Guang off guard. She seemed to have already made up her mind.

Bai Guang's heart twitched, and he said in a trembling voice, "Aren't you going to explain anything?"

Fang Xiao gently shook her head, saying nothing.

Bai Guang's face darkened, and he said coldly, "Fine, in that case, I'll send you off myself!"

With a hardened heart, Bai Guang suddenly reached out and grabbed for Fang Xiao's neck.

Suddenly, the space rippled, and a figure appeared out of nowhere, intercepting Bai Guang's grab.

"Big brother! What are you doing?" Bai Guang asked in confusion.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I told you, maybe things aren't as bad as you think. Isn't that right, Miss Fang Xiao?"

Fang Xiao slowly opened her eyes, her gaze toward Ye Yuan filled with fear.

Two days ago, this man had suddenly appeared in the dungeon, and she had poured out everything she knew without any resistance.

Hearing Ye Yuan's question, Fang Xiao turned her face away and said, "I don't know what you're talking about!"

Ye Yuan patted Bai Guang on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Remember when the Great Elder said he owed me a favor?"

Bai Guang was taken aback, but Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I've already spoken with the Great Elder. I'll use that favor to exchange for Fang Xiao."

At these words, both Bai Guang and Fang Xiao trembled.

A favor from the Great Elder, used to exchange for an enemy who had schemed against Bai Guang?

Having been in the clan for a long time, Bai Guang knew all too well how formidable the Great Elder was. A favor from him was truly priceless.

Yet Ye Yuan had used it so lightly?

"Big brother, this... the Great Elder's favor is too precious! How could you... how could you..."

"Big... big brother, Fang Xiao only seeks death!" Fang Xiao hesitated for a moment, then followed Bai Guang in calling Ye Yuan big brother.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "It's just a favor. If I want, I can make the White Tiger clan owe me many favors! Bai Guang, you should know my temper."

Having been with Ye Yuan for many years, Bai Guang naturally knew Ye Yuan's character.

If Ye Yuan regarded someone as a close friend, he wouldn't blink even if it meant walking through fire or jumping into a cauldron of oil, let alone a mere favor.

"But big brother, she..." Bai Guang's gaze fell on Fang Xiao, his eyes a tangle of love and hate.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Miss Fang Xiao is not as malicious as you think. She was also forced by circumstances. It's a long story; let's talk on the way."

...

Watching the figures of Ye Yuan, Fang Xiao, and Bai Guang disappear into the teleportation array, Bai Yi said to Rong Kun, "Great Elder, letting them go like this, aren't you afraid they'll run?"

Rong Kun smiled and said, "Ye Yuan is meticulous. He took Fang Xiao away but left the woman who came with him behind. Although he didn't say it explicitly, it's essentially leaving her as a hostage."

"Ling Jiushan is a Divine King, not someone Rong Ze's strength can compare to. Does the Great Elder really have such confidence that he can bring Ling Jiushan back?" Bai Yi said.

Although he also thought highly of Ye Yuan, such a task as bringing back Ling Jiushan was still utterly inconceivable.

Rong Kun shook his head and said, "To be honest, I have no confidence at all. I don't know where that kid gets the confidence to take on such a task! But I think, even if he can complete it, the price he pays won't be small, right? For Xiao Guang's sake, he's really pushing himself too hard!"

Bai Yi sighed, "For Xiao Guang to meet such a big brother is truly a blessing in three lifetimes."

...

Outside the territory of the Heavenly Demon Tiger Clan, Fang Xiao appeared somewhat timid.

Although she was a member of the Heavenly Demon Tiger Clan, her memories here were not pleasant.

The Heavenly Demon Tiger Clan was completely different from the White Tiger Clan; this was a place of pure survival of the fittest. The laws of survival were no different from those of primitive beasts.

Fang Xiao's bloodline power was very strong, but because she was born into a slave family, she had been almost caged since childhood.

Ling Jiushan had placed a very powerful restriction on her, able to control her life and death.

Moreover, Fang Xiao's parents had always been imprisoned as hostages to coerce Fang Xiao into doing his bidding.

This time, she had been ordered by Ling Jiushan to use Bai Guang's sympathy to have him rescue her, and then Bai Xu would expose the matter.

But even Fang Xiao herself hadn't expected that she would hopelessly fall in love with Bai Guang.

And Bai Guang, likewise, had fallen in love with Fang Xiao.

But this love without a future tore Fang Xiao's heart apart. Choosing between her parents and Bai Guang nearly split her in two.

There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart. When she was locked in the White Tiger dungeon, she had already resolved to die.

But she never imagined that Ye Yuan's sudden appearance would turn everything around.

"Ye... Brother Ye," Fang Xiao said timidly.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Just like Bai Guang, call me Brother. Now, tell me every detail of Ling Jiushan's habits, leaving nothing out! We only have one chance. Once we alert the experts of the Heavenly Demon Tiger Clan, it will be very hard for us to escape!"

Ye Yuan's ability to merge with heaven and earth was indeed formidable, but it was not without a solution.

Once surrounded by Divine King experts, even if Ye Yuan used his merging technique, he wouldn't be able to escape.

This trick relied on surprise; once the enemy was prepared, it wouldn't be fun anymore.

Although Ye Yuan said this with a smile, his words startled Fang Xiao. She didn't dare hesitate and told him everything she knew about Ling Jiushan's daily habits.

And as Fang Xiao described it, a map of the Heavenly Demon Tiger territory was constructed in his mind.

Everything ready, Ye Yuan slowly stood up, but Bai Guang grabbed him, looking conflicted, and said, "Brother, maybe... let's forget it! I know you're doing this for me, but the Heavenly Demon Tiger Clan's strength is not much weaker than the White Tiger Clan's. It's too dangerous!"

Bai Guang was no longer the ignorant youth he once was; he knew very well how powerful a Divine King was.

Although Ye Yuan had many tricks, entering the Heavenly Demon Tiger Clan's territory was extremely dangerous, let alone capturing Ling Jiushan, a Divine King, alive.

This was simply an impossible task!

Ye Yuan scolded with a smile, "When did you become so indecisive? Can you bear to watch Fang Xiao's parents die like this?"

"This..." Bai Guang hesitated.

"Alright, you two enter the Heavenly Tower first. Leave the rest to me!" Ye Yuan said with a relaxed expression.
