Chapter 1413: Extra

Bai Chen rode atop the lion-mirage beast, looking majestic and utterly at ease.

Ye Yuan had already learned from Bai Chen that this lion-shaped beast was called a lion-mirage beast.

Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan was also very curious.

That collar seemed to possess no small magic; once it was placed around the lion-mirage beast's neck, the creature submitted.

Young Master Bai Chen, what divine object is this collar?” Ye Yuan asked.

Bai Chen smiled and said, “This is called a Spirit Taming Collar. It's normal that you mortals have never heard of it. It's a high-grade spiritual artifact. As long as I bond it with my blood and then put it around the beast's neck, I can suppress a first-tier divine beast and make it submit to me. Of course, the prerequisite is that I must beat it until it has no strength left to fight back.”

Ye Yuan marveled inwardly, never expecting that the Tianlu World possessed such remarkable artifact-refining techniques.

Seeing Ye Yuan's curious expression, Bai Chen laughed and said, “Want to come up and feel it?”

Ye Yuan smiled and shook his head, saying, "This thing is too fierce; I'd better not ride it."

"Haha, you're like a pale-faced scholar, and your courage is too small! This lion-illusion beast has been tamed and won't attack people," a retainer mocked.

Ye Yuan just smiled and didn't explain.

It wasn't that he didn't want to ride; it was that he dared not.

If he sat on it, how could the lion-illusion beast still walk?

The reason Bai Chen could so easily knock down the lion-illusion beast was all due to Ye Yuan's intimidation.

Now that Ye Yuan's body simulated the aura of Tianlu Heavenly Dao, these ferocious beasts no longer rejected him as before.

Thus, they could also feel the terror emanating from Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan's demon clan bloodline was supremely noble, and his strength was extremely formidable. The lion-illusion beast's baring of fangs and claws at that time was not to scare Ye Yuan, but because it was afraid of him.

But Bai Chen was momentarily startled, thinking the lion-mirage beast was about to attack Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan had seen Bai Chen's strength—though he had just entered the Cave Abyss Divine Realm and his spear technique was decent, he was still somewhat lacking against this lion-mirage beast.

Meanwhile, Mo Yun remained constantly vigilant.

The others had no suspicions about Ye Yuan, but he always felt that this Ye Yuan was problematic.

Yet he couldn't quite pinpoint what was wrong.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..."

Suddenly, over a dozen figures burst out of the dense forest, surrounding Bai Chen and the others.

"Hahaha... Bai Chen, I've been waiting for this opportunity for a long time! Today is your death day!" A young figure parted the crowd, laughing wildly.

Bai Chen's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Bai Chong, what do you mean by this?"

Bai Chong sneered, "What do I mean? I'm stronger than you and older than you, so why should you be the young master? And I have to be your dog? I won't accept it! I want to be the young master and rule the White Night Sacred Palace in the future!"

Mo Yun rebuked angrily, "Bai Chong, have you lost your mind? For this, you've brought in people from the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace? You know they are our White Night Sacred Palace's mortal enemies!"

Bai Chong sneered, "So what? As long as I can get the position of young master, what does it matter what means I use?"

Behind Bai Chong, a middle-aged man looked at Mo Yun and smiled, "Mo Yun, didn't expect this, huh? Heh, don't blame me for not giving you a chance. Kill Bai Chen and join our Autumn Rain Sacred Palace! With your strength, you'll be highly valued."

Mo Yun ignored him, instead glaring at Ye Yuan, "You are a spy from the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace! Otherwise, how could they have found us in this vast barbarian forest?"

Bai Chen shuddered all over and looked at Ye Yuan in disbelief.

"You! You bastard, repaying kindness with enmity!" Bai Chen pointed at Ye Yuan in anguish.

"Hmph! I've been watching him for a long time. He's no ordinary person but a master hiding his true abilities! He probably has a divine artifact to conceal his aura!" Mo Yun snorted coldly.

Ye Yuan hadn't expected Mo Yun to suddenly turn the矛头 on him, and said innocently, "I'm really not a spy. They should be able to vouch for me, right?"

Ye Yuan asked Bai Chong, who instantly felt terribly wronged.

In the current situation, Bai Chen's side was doomed.

Mo Yun was only at the half-step Insight Heaven realm, while the others were mostly at the early Cave Abyss stage.

The man opposite had strength similar to Mo Yun's.

Apart from him, the other dozen or so were all Cave Abyss realm experts.

Many among them were even at the mid or late stage!

Overall, the enemy's strength was far superior!

Bai Chong, however, gave a cold smile and said, "Mo Yun, you're right! He is the one we sent to spy on your movements!"

Seeing the internal strife on Bai Chen's side, Bai Chong was happy to watch them fight among themselves.

He didn't mind sowing discord!

Sure enough, Bai Chen and Mo Yun's expressions changed upon hearing this, and they glared angrily at Ye Yuan.

"Ye Yuan, I misjudged you! If I had known, I would have let the Lion Mire Beast eat you!" Bai Chen said angrily.

Mo Yun said coldly, "Young master, no need to waste words with him! Kill him!"

With that, Mo Yun raised his hand and delivered a palm strike of immense power.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man and Bai Chong across from them revealed smug smiles.

"Boom!"

The terrifying palm strike directly hit Ye Yuan's chest.

But... Ye Yuan stood there without moving, taking the strike head-on!

Everyone's eyes bulged as they stared in disbelief.

Ye Yuan was completely unharmed!

"Th-this... how is this possible?" the middle-aged man murmured.

He knew Mo Yun's strength; even he wouldn't dare take that palm strike head-on, yet this young man had withstood it!

Ye Yuan was wearing the Profound Divine Armor from Wu Meng Academy, so attacks of this level naturally posed no threat to him.

Ye Yuan shrugged and smiled, "Actually, I'm just a passerby. I really have no intention of meddling in your dispute over the young master's position. Alright, to prove my innocence, I won't participate in your fight. Is that acceptable?"

With that, Ye Yuan clasped his hands behind his back and stepped aside.

Now it was Bai Chong's side that grew uneasy.

This young man was simply too unfathomable.

The middle-aged man's expression turned serious, and he suddenly remembered something. He whispered in Bai Chong's ear, "They must be putting on an act to scare us off! Ignore him; the most important thing is to kill Bai Chen!"

Bai Chong's expression hardened, and he nodded, saying in a deep voice, "Go! Whoever kills Bai Chen will be heavily rewarded!"

"Kill!"

The dozen or so men shouted and charged at Bai Chen like a swarm.

Mo Yun's expression changed, and he was about to act, but the middle-aged man was already upon him!

"Your opponent is me! Bai Chen is dead today, so stop struggling!" the middle-aged man sneered.

Bai Chen's few attendants tightly surrounded him, but facing the siege of over a dozen Cave Abyss experts, they soon found themselves overwhelmed.

Seeing this, Mo Yun grew frantic.

Ye Yuan stood by, and suddenly sighed, "Indeed, I can't stand by and watch after all."
