Chapter 1189: Enemies on a Narrow Road

The interior of the hall was a space unto itself, filled with intricate and chaotic formations that dazzled the eyes.

“This… what is this place? How can there be such a complex teleportation array?” Meng Guang exclaimed in surprise.

“Xiaoyue Sect is an underground stronghold of the demon race, responsible for intelligence gathering and information transmission. The teleportation arrays here must number in the hundreds of thousands. It seems we’re lucky—this should be a fairly important stronghold for the demons.”

Seeing the vast and complex array, Ye Yuan also felt fortunate.

With his abilities, extracting useful information from these arrays was naturally within his reach.

“D-demons?” Meng Guang was startled by the term.

Ye Yuan glanced at him and said, “The demons have already infiltrated every corner of the Divine Realm. Within three years, the demon calamity will inevitably erupt.”

Meng Guang’s eyes widened; the news from Ye Yuan left him utterly stunned.

While he was still in shock, Ye Yuan moved and began extracting information from the teleportation array.

The arrays were interlinked, branching out into countless derivatives.

Anyone else would have no idea where to start.

But for Ye Yuan, it was not a difficult task.

No matter how complex the formation, it was all controlled by a central hub.

What Ye Yuan needed to do was take control of that hub!

Once he controlled the central hub, he could freely extract all the information from the entire formation.

However, such a complex formation was not something even Ye Yuan could master in a short time.

Meng Guang finally snapped out of his shock and realized that Ye Yuan was attempting to control the formation!

“He… he’s actually a ninth-rank Array Emperor?”

Meng Guang felt his mind struggling to keep up.

Though he didn’t understand formations, he could tell what Ye Yuan was doing.

To him, the formation was as vast as the stars in the sky.

But under Ye Yuan’s hands, it seemed… not so complicated.

…

“Ah!”

With a pleasurable roar, the man on the bed turned into a dried corpse and collapsed.

A seductive beauty slowly sat up, a tantalizing smile curling at the corners of her mouth.

“That annoying little thief ruined my fun. Oh well, let Dayou deal with him first. Such a delicious morsel shouldn’t go to waste.”

The beauty casually flicked a wisp of black energy, which vanished.

Then, she extended her slender finger and beckoned to another man.

The man’s lust flared up instantly, and he pounced on her like a wolf.

“Hehe, that’s it, I like it rough like this.”

…

Time ticked by, and Ye Yuan’s progress accelerated.

Meng Guang, watching from the side, was astounded by Ye Yuan’s mastery of formations.

“Who exactly is Brother Ye Qing? This… this skill is too incredible! Even a ninth-rank Array Emperor would find it hard to control such a formation, right?” Meng Guang marveled.

Ye Yuan was focused on mastering the formation, on the verge of success.

“Hmm?”

Ye Yuan frowned and instantly vanished from his spot.

“Boom!”

Where Meng Guang had been standing, a large crater now appeared.

Ye Yuan pulled Meng Guang to another corner.

Meng Guang hadn’t realized what happened, but seeing the crater, he knew he had just brushed past the gates of hell.

Beside the crater stood a middle-aged man in fine robes, exuding authority.

When had this man approached?

“I underestimated you. So you really are trouble!” the middle-aged man said angrily.

This man was the master of the steward, the one the beauty had called Dayou.

Ye Yuan paid Dayou no mind and said calmly, “So you’re the Saint King in charge of this stronghold?”

Dayou frowned. “A mere Eighth Layer Dao Profound dares to speak to me like that? You’re asking for death!”

“You’ll soon see who’s asking for death.”

Ye Yuan’s indifferent voice rang out as he instantly activated Great Teleportation!

Dayou’s expression changed drastically, and demonic energy surged.

“Boom!”

A violent collision sent Dayou flying, crashing heavily into the wall.

Ye Yuan was somewhat surprised by the result. “It seems your strength is decent among Saint Kings, to withstand one of my strikes.”

“Bang!”

Dayou burst out of the rubble, staring at Ye Yuan with a grave expression.

“Demon-Slaying Sword Art! You’re Ye Yuan!” Dayou, covered in blood, snarled.

He had clearly guessed Ye Yuan’s identity and was deeply wary.

Meng Guang, however, was stunned, muttering, “Ye Yuan! Lingtian Divine King! Brother Ye Qing… is actually the Lingtian Divine King!”

Meng Guang’s heart was shaken; the Lingtian Divine King’s reputation had soared recently.

Almost everyone in the Divine Realm knew of him!

Holding his own against the Great Yan Divine King and nearly killing the Purple Extreme Divine King with one strike—such feats had made the Lingtian Divine King famous.

“I… I’ve been calling the Lingtian Divine King my brother?”

Meng Guang felt utterly disoriented.

To him, beings like the Ten Great Divine Kings were like gods.

Knowing Ye Yuan’s identity, Meng Guang felt a sense of unreality.

Ye Yuan wasn’t surprised that Dayou had guessed his identity.

After all, Dayou managed the demons’ intelligence network; having shown his strength, it was inevitable.

“Since you know who I am, you can die in peace.”

Ye Yuan didn’t waste words and thrust his sword again.

“Rumble!”

The hall echoed with explosions.

Ye Yuan’s sword light completely suppressed Dayou.

But Dayou was indeed formidable.

Ye Yuan felt his strength might even surpass Ji Canglan’s!

Being in charge of such an important stronghold, Dayou must be an extremely powerful demon.

Even if he hadn’t reached the Saint Emperor level, he was likely close.

“Raging Sword Fire Lotus!”

Unable to finish the fight quickly, Ye Yuan finally unleashed his killing move.

The terrifying power rolled toward Dayou like a bulldozer.

“Boom!”

The violent energy fluctuation nearly collapsed the entire building.

However, Ye Yuan’s expression changed, for the strike had not hit Dayou.

A black flower bloomed abruptly in the air, looking eerily enchanting.

The black flower gradually transformed into a human figure.

A seductive beauty appeared before Ye Yuan, her allure enough to quicken anyone’s pulse.

Ye Yuan took a deep breath, his gaze toward the beauty filled with gravity.

“Hehehe… So it’s you, little one. What a narrow road for enemies! I was just having fun, and you spoiled my mood. Since that’s the case, stay and keep me company. I promise I’ll take good care of you,” the beauty giggled.
