Chapter 1013: Taking Servants

Ye Yuan waved his hand impatiently and said, "Don't give me that. Tell me, why were you locked up here?"

The two were taken aback. Wu Luo said sheepishly, "Actually, I was born into the White Tiger Clan's Wu family. When I was young, I had a conflict with an elder of the clan and killed him in a fit of rage. Later, I fled the White Tiger Clan. I never expected that two hundred years later, I would still be caught and brought back."

Ye Yuan nodded upon hearing this and said, "Alright, you're one of them. Sign a soul contract. Two thousand years, as punishment for what happened last time."

Wu Luo was stunned. When he came to his senses, he was ecstatic.

He hadn't expected Ye Yuan to let go of the previous matter so easily.

In his view, Ye Yuan must have wanted powerful helpers, which was why he was taking them out. But since he had offended Ye Yuan with his lack of foresight last time, even if Ye Yuan wanted him, he would surely make him pay a heavy price.

Unexpectedly, Ye Yuan only lightly added a thousand years and agreed.

A thousand years might be a bit long, but compared to the White Tiger Dungeon, he would rather be outside.

For a strong person trapped for thousands of years, nothing is more precious than freedom.

"Thank you, Master! Thank you! Even if it were three thousand years, I would still be willing!" Wu Luo said excitedly.

Without further ado, Wu Luo immediately signed a soul contract with Ye Yuan, becoming his servant for two thousand years.

Ye Yuan's heart was not so narrow-minded as to hold a grudge over a few words. He had one condition for taking people out: no one who had committed heinous crimes.

Wu Luo had killed an elder due to a personal grudge. This was a grave crime for the White Tiger Clan, but such things happened every day in various corners of the Divine Domain; it was not an unforgivable sin.

Moreover, the fact that Wu Luo could cultivate to such a level and kill a White Tiger Clan elder itself showed how strong he was.

Seeing Wu Luo freed, Jiang Taicang became extremely anxious.

"M-Master, what about... me?" Jiang Taicang said weakly, breaking out in a cold sweat.

Ye Yuan said, "Hmm, you talk too."

Jiang Taicang nervously recounted his experience, which was somewhat peculiar.

This guy was a human, but he practiced the art of the Divine Hand.

To put it bluntly, he was a thief!

Jiang Taicang had immense strength but couldn't shake his habit of stealing. Five thousand years ago, during the White Tiger Clan's grand sacrificial ceremony, several top-tier offerings were prepared for the White Tiger Spirit. Who would have thought this guy would just swipe those offerings?

The White Tiger Spirit didn't actually lack those offerings, but it survived on the faith power of the White Tiger Clan.

Those offerings carried the faith power of the White Tiger Clan. With Jiang Taicang taking them away like that, how could the White Tiger Clan not be furious?

So the then patriarch of the White Tiger Clan personally set out and chased him for a full two years before finally catching him.

Having escaped the White Tiger patriarch for two whole years, Jiang Taicang could be proud of himself.

After hearing Jiang Taicang's story, Ye Yuan didn't hesitate and directly decided to take him.

Thus, the trio was officially formed. The strength of the others was clearly far below theirs, so Ye Yuan didn't consider them further.

As for Ao Qian, Ye Yuan also asked about his situation.

The reason for his imprisonment shocked even Ye Yuan.

This guy had actually challenged the White Tiger Clan, swallowing a five-hundred-thousand-year-old crane essence in a secret realm, and was directly captured by the White Tiger Clan.

Crane essence was not a crane that had become a spirit, but a longevity-extending spiritual medicine, not within the scope of ninth-grade.

A five-hundred-thousand-year-old crane essence could more than double one's lifespan!

At that time, Ao Qian was desperate, seeing his end approaching and about to pass away. How could he care about offending the White Tiger Clan? He just swallowed it.

As a result, he lived until now but was also locked in this White Tiger Dungeon, never to turn over!

The then White Tiger patriarch said, 'You swallowed the crane essence, didn't you? Then let you enjoy the taste of waiting for death in the White Tiger Dungeon!'

The White Tiger Clan sealed Ao Qian's demon core and locked his bloodline power. In this dungeon, he could do nothing but stare blankly.

And so he stared for over twenty thousand years!

If not for Ye Yuan, he would truly have stayed here until death.

However, although these three were strong, being sealed in the White Tiger Dungeon had a huge impact on them.

Even if Ye Yuan released them, without a thousand years, it would be hard for them to recover to their peak.

Their current strength was at most that of an ordinary Divine King, far from their peak.

At the Divine King realm, every step is extremely difficult.

Unless one was a peerless genius like the Ten Great Divine Kings, for many Divine King powerhouses, their lives were pretty much like that.

When Ye Yuan brought the three out, Rong Xiao naturally gave them a stern warning.

His face was as dark as water, and he said coldly, "You three know your own affairs. You are all mortal enemies of my White Tiger Clan! Ye Yuan is the savior of my White Tiger Clan, so I gave him three slots. However... there is also an agreement between Ye Yuan and me. In the future, after you are freed, if you dare to cause trouble for my White Tiger Clan, he will personally kill you three! Don't doubt my words. It might only take Ye Yuan a few decades to kill you! A thousand years from now, you won't even be worthy of polishing his shoes! Following him might be the luckiest thing in your lives!"

Ao Qian and the others changed expression upon hearing this. For the White Tiger patriarch to say such things, Ye Yuan was clearly extraordinary.

Moreover, Rong Xiao said Ye Yuan was the savior of the White Tiger Clan.

What kind of event could make the White Tiger Clan release the three heaviest prisoners from the dungeon?

These three were not stupid; they knew they had previously underestimated Ye Yuan.

After the joy of being released settled, they realized they seemed to have followed a very remarkable master!

Ao Qian, in particular, knew best what kind of existence Long Teng was.

In that era, Long Teng was hailed as the strongest genius of the Dragon Clan after the decline of the Divine Path!

Even he recognized Ye Yuan so much; this child must be extraordinary!

Of course, when Ye Yuan took them into the Haotian Tower, their shock was beyond words.

This was a quasi-divine artifact!

Ye Yuan's figure appeared, and he said calmly to the three, "Since you three have followed me, I naturally won't treat you poorly. My strength hasn't reached the required level yet. Once I break through to Daoxuan, I should be able to refine pills for you. Then, I should be able to help you restore your peak strength. Of course, ninth-grade spiritual medicines aren't easy to find. During this time, I'll keep an eye out for you."

Ye Yuan's words shocked the three deeply.

Break through to the Daoxuan realm and be able to refine pills?

The pills they needed were ninth-grade top-grade!
