Chapter 1090: The Blood Rain Wasteland

The smile on Yun Xiao's face was somewhat awkward. He hadn't expected Ye Yuan to seize the opportunity and agree directly.

What did this mean?

Could it be that this kid intended to stay and fight a protracted war?

Yun Xiao found that he couldn't fathom Ye Yuan's thoughts.

This kid simply didn't play by the rules!

Clearly, he had come for the matter of the demon race and had successfully forced him out, yet he never mentioned the demon race at all.

What was he up to?

Ye Yuan's words left Yun Xiao unsure how to respond.

Ye Yuan, ignoring Yun Xiao's awkwardness, said with a smile, "The Holy City is the foremost of the Divine Realm; I have long admired it. This time, I'll take the opportunity to tour it thoroughly."

As if anyone would believe that!

Yun Xiao grumbled inwardly but smiled outwardly, saying, "If Brother Ji wishes to tour, I can personally serve as your guide."

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "That won't be necessary. Brother Yun is busy with a myriad of affairs; how could I trouble you with such trivial matters? Besides, there are still many people waiting for me to refine pills at the Heavenly Saint Square. It would be dull for Brother Yun to follow me around alchemy."

Yun Xiao was speechless. This kid had circled around and come back to the same point.

Yun Xiao's face darkened. He realized that Ye Yuan had long known the Holy City's attitude, which was why he hadn't mentioned the demon race.

But now Ye Yuan was lingering, seemingly after something else.

With all this beating around the bush, who knew how long this kid would keep it up?

"Kid Ji, what exactly do you want? But I advise you not to go too far. The Holy City's tiger's whiskers are not something you can stroke!"

Yun Xiao's face changed faster than turning a page.

Just a moment ago, he was affable; now, he was thunderous.

As he unleashed his Void Profound Realm aura, a suffocating pressure surged forth.

A mysterious force of law instantly expanded around Ye Yuan, and Yun Xiao's pressure dissipated into nothing.

Yun Xiao's expression changed, and he said gravely, "Divine Dao Law! You... you've comprehended divine inscriptions!"

Ye Yuan looked at him with a half-smile and said, "Brother Yun's skill in changing faces is truly masterful; I admire it! But as for stroking your tiger's whiskers, it seems I've already done so, and you invited me here."

Yun Xiao was momentarily choked. When had this kid become so sharp-tongued?

"Put away your act. Given your strength and status, if you were confident enough to keep me here, you would have acted long ago, wouldn't you? Don't tell me you're not tempted by the divine artifact on me." Ye Yuan said calmly, looking completely at ease.

Yun Xiao was utterly defeated. He retracted his aura instantly and stared at Ye Yuan as if seeing a ghost.

He had dealt with Ye Yuan more than once, but never had he felt so unable to get a word in.

As one of the three giants of the Holy City, Yun Xiao had always been in control and never miscalculated.

But facing Ye Yuan today, he felt constrained.

"What exactly do you want?" Yun Xiao asked darkly.

Ye Yuan said calmly, "I want to enter the Blood Rain Wasteland!"

Yun Xiao's expression changed, and he said directly, "Impossible!"

Not surprised by Yun Xiao's reaction, Ye Yuan said calmly, "You know I am the Child of Destiny, so you want to let me fight the demon race to the death, which is why you haven't made a move against me. But do you think, at my current level, I pose much threat to the demon race?"

Yun Xiao's expression changed again; he was about to break down.

Ye Yuan even knew about this!

The matters of the Child of Destiny and the demon race were secrets of the Divine Realm, unknown even to many super holy lands with shallow foundations.

Unexpectedly, Ye Yuan had long known he was the Child of Destiny. Not only that, but he also knew that the Holy City knew he was the Child of Destiny.

It sounded a bit convoluted, but Yun Xiao's shock was beyond measure.

Ye Yuan wore a faint smile, meeting Yun Xiao's gaze.

After a long while, Yun Xiao recovered from his shock, took a deep breath, and said, "How did you know!"

"If you don't want others to know, don't do it. You don't need to worry about how I know. I only ask: do you agree or not?" Ye Yuan said calmly.

Yun Xiao squinted and said, "What if I don't agree?"

"I'll leave now, but soon the entire Divine Realm will know about the Holy City's sordid past. Do you think the martial artists of the world will see you in a favorable light?" Ye Yuan sneered.

"Do you think they will believe you or the Holy City?" Yun Xiao snorted.

"My words alone are insignificant, but what if the four divine beast descendants of the Demon Domain speak out together? Fifty thousand years ago, it was they who fought bloody battles. I think no one is more qualified to speak than them, right?"

Yun Xiao realized that Ye Yuan knew far more than he had imagined.

"Hmph! I know you carry dragon blood, but the four divine beast descendants are immensely proud; will they be manipulated by you?" Yun Xiao snorted.

It wasn't that Yun Xiao was ignorant, but communication between humans and the Demon Domain was too limited.

The Holy City had heard about the Medicine King Hall's raid on the White Tiger clan, but nothing else.

Especially the internal affairs of the Azure Dragon and White Tiger clans, Yun Xiao had no way of knowing.

Ye Yuan said with a faint smile, "You may not know, but I am now the Dragon Clan's Sovereign. And my brother Bai Guang is a perfect white tiger body, a rarity in the White Tiger clan in a hundred thousand years. Do you think I have the ability?"

Yun Xiao trembled all over, looking at Ye Yuan in disbelief.

He tried to see a lie in Ye Yuan's eyes, but he was disappointed.

At some point, a fire poker had appeared in Ye Yuan's hand. Seeing it, Yun Xiao's eyes nearly popped out.

"I think you must be curious about what divine artifact I hold. With the Holy City's heritage, you should recognize it, shouldn't you?" Ye Yuan said with a half-smile.

"The... the Holy Dragon Token? How... how is this possible? Before the Divine Dao disappeared, the Holy Dragon Token had already vanished. Why is it in your hands!" Yun Xiao said in disbelief.

At this moment, he no longer doubted Ye Yuan's words.

Yun Xiao naturally knew the Dragon Clan's ancestral teachings.

With the Holy Dragon Token in hand, Ye Yuan was the Dragon Clan's Sovereign; there was no doubt about that.

But he was extremely puzzled: why would the Dragon Clan's supreme divine artifact recognize a human as its master!

Looking at the Holy Dragon Token in Ye Yuan's hand, Yun Xiao suddenly felt a strong desire to claim it for himself.

He knew that the Holy Dragon Token was no ordinary divine artifact but a legendary heavenly divine artifact!

Even in the age of the Divine Dao, it was extremely rare!

However, after a fierce internal struggle, he finally gave up.

The Child of Destiny bore the mandate of heaven, and throughout history, there had never been a mistake. No matter how strong Yun Xiao was, he could not defy heaven.

Today, Ye Yuan had brought him too many shocks.

He simply couldn't imagine what Ye Yuan had experienced in the past twenty years.

"Alright, I agree! But you can only enter alone!" Yun Xiao finally relented.
