Chapter 987: The Mystery of White Light's Origins

"Bang..."

The Heavenly King Bell was struck by the Sacred Dragon Token, and immediately a terrifying wave spread out, with two sound waves intertwining in an instant!

"Boom!"

At the intersection of the sound waves, boulders were shattered into debris, and trees were also pulverized.

The air was filled with the smell of dust.

Pan Yin, still far away, felt a chill in his expression.

Ye Yuan's sound wave attack could actually contend with him on equal footing!

And just now, he had clearly sensed an unusual fluctuation!

"Let's go!" Ye Yuan, suppressing his internal injuries, followed Ruan Shuangzhou into the Ancestral Land.

That strike just now, Ye Yuan had used a trace of divine essence; otherwise, he could not have countered Pan Yin's sound wave attack.

Pan Yin's senses were extremely sharp, and he still detected a hint of something amiss.

"This kid is truly too strange!" Pan Yin said with a dark expression.

Just then, several streaks of light flashed across the sky, and several Divine Kings arrived belatedly.

Seeing the Grand Elder's gloomy face, the Divine Kings dared not speak rashly.

Clearly, even the Grand Elder's intervention had failed to stop the young man!

They exchanged glances, each seeing shock in the other's eyes.

The Grand Elder's strength was unfathomable, yet he had failed to capture a mere Formless Realm brat!

"This child must harbor great secrets. We must capture him alive! Return to the clan and summon the formation masters to seal off the space around here. Also, leave five men to guard the tomb entrance; he must not escape! Do not take this lightly—this child has comprehended the state of unity between heaven and man, able to merge with heaven and earth. Even a Divine King may not be able to detain him! I will return to discuss with the clan leader and plan to send people into the Ancestral Land!" the Grand Elder instructed.

These Divine Kings had been trailing behind, completely unaware of what had happened earlier.

Hearing the Grand Elder's words, they were all deeply shocked.

No wonder even the Grand Elder had failed; this child had actually comprehended the unity of heaven and man!

Pan Yin had one more thing he hadn't mentioned, or they would have been even more astonished.

In fact, Pan Yin suspected that Ye Yuan possessed a divine artifact!

The fact that it could rival his Tiger Roar Shaking the Vast Sky, along with that strange fluctuation, had aroused Pan Yin's suspicion.

Therefore, Pan Yin would never let Ye Yuan escape.

...

Upon entering the Ancestral Land, Ye Yuan could no longer hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood.

His strength was ultimately too weak; the Grand Elder's sound wave attack could have killed even an ordinary Divine King. But Ye Yuan, relying on the power of his divine artifact, had managed to withstand it.

Of course, he was still heavily injured.

Fortunately, Ye Yuan's physical body was extremely powerful, and this injury posed little threat to him.

Ye Yuan asked Ruan Shuangzhou to guard him while he regulated his breathing for a while, and soon he was out of danger.

Ye Yuan's Overlord Dragon Regeneration Art had been cultivated to a very high level, so such an injury was naturally trivial.

Strangely enough, Ye Yuan seemed to practice dragon clan techniques with great ease.

Dragon Wave, Dragon Splitting Heaven Palm, and Overlord Dragon Regeneration Art were all the same.

After that, Ye Yuan entered the Haotian Tower, where Fang Xiao and her parents knelt and bowed.

"Brother Ye, Xiao'er's family owes their lives to you. I am endlessly grateful. But to save my parents, you put yourself in danger, and I am deeply uneasy. If there is anything I can do, please command me." Fang Xiao said emotionally.

Fang Xiao's parents had also learned the whole story and expressed their immense gratitude to Ye Yuan.

White Light said nothing, but his gratitude was no less than Fang Xiao's. However, the bond between him and Ye Yuan was too deep for such formalities.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Miss Fang, no need for this! You've seen the bond between White Light and me. Since you two are in love, your matters are my matters. If it were White Light, he would do the same. If you truly feel indebted, then just stay with White Light—that would be repayment enough."

At these words, both Fang Xiao and White Light blushed.

But Fang Xiao nodded firmly and said, "Xiao'er will!"

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Let's not dwell on this. If you really want to thank me, we must first escape danger. We've entered the Ancestral Land, and the dangers here are no less than outside. We need to find a way out quickly; I'm also worried about Li'er."

Although Ye Yuan felt that Rong Kun wouldn't harm Li'er, with many eyes and tongues, if they returned late, trouble might arise.

Hearing this, White Light couldn't help but say, "Brother, I'm sorry!"

Ye Yuan scolded with a smile, "You again, aren't you? This is the Ancestral Land of the Heavenly Demon Tiger Clan. White Light, come out with me; maybe we'll have some unexpected fortune."

White Light nodded and left the Haotian Tower with Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan and White Light walked deeper into the Ancestral Land, encountering little danger along the way.

On both sides of the tomb were stone caves. In front of each cave were placed memorial tablets inscribed with the names of the Heavenly Demon Tiger Clan's past powerhouses.

"Spirit Tablet of Ling Aotian, the 768th Patriarch of the Heavenly Demon Tiger Clan!"

"Spirit Tablet of Pan Yu, the 768th Grand Elder of the Heavenly Demon Tiger Clan!"

"Spirit Tablet of the 767th Generation of the Heavenly Demon Tiger Clan..."

The tablets seemed to be arranged in order.

But what surprised Ye Yuan was that each stone cave gave him a very dangerous feeling.

"It seems that only those at least at the peak Divine King level can be buried in the Ancestral Land. Others probably can only sit in meditation outside." Ye Yuan remarked.

White Light had been silent, but suddenly spoke, "Brother, for some reason, this place feels very familiar to me! I feel as if I've returned to my mother's embrace!"

White Light's words startled Ye Yuan.

Everyone in the Divine Realm knew that the White Tiger Clan and the Heavenly Demon Tiger Clan were mortal enemies, having fought for generations, forging an indelible hatred.

So why did White Light have such a strange feeling upon entering the Heavenly Demon Tiger Clan's Ancestral Land?

Ye Yuan did not doubt White Light's feelings; his origins were mysterious, and his divine beast bloodline was extremely rich.

Since he felt this way, it meant that White Light might indeed have a deep connection with the Heavenly Demon Tiger Clan!

Could White Light's ancestors have originated from the Heavenly Demon Tiger Clan?

But then why did White Light also possess the bloodline of the White Tiger Clan?

White Light, this little white tiger, was also an enigma.

Ye Yuan suddenly thought of something and looked at White Light, saying, "White Light, could it be that you... possess the bloodlines of both the White Tiger Clan and the Heavenly Demon Tiger Clan?"

White Light looked bewildered and shook his head, saying, "I don't know either! But I've fought many Heavenly Demon Tigers, and I don't feel any resemblance to them!"
