Chapter 1433: Surrounded by Powerful Enemies!

"Hahaha... Finally healed! Ye Yuan, let's see where you can run this time!"

In the secret chamber of the Jue Ming Sacred Palace, Qin Tian suddenly opened his eyes, shooting out beams of sharp light.

He had been in seclusion here for ten years, and today he had finally fully recovered from his injuries.

All the grudges would be settled this time!

"Wuhen!"

"Your subordinate is here!"

"Has the Bai Ye Sacred Palace set off?"

"They have already departed for the Divine Ruins! Palace Lord, should we also set off?"

"Set off! This trip, we must return fully loaded!"

"Yes, Palace Lord!"

After Wuhen left, a cold smile flickered at the corner of Qin Tian's mouth.

"Since we're here, we can't go back empty-handed!"

...

Before them lay a vast expanse of ruins, but from it emanated waves of terrifying aura, causing even Ye Yuan to feel a pang of palpitation.

These Divine Ruins seemed to have existed here since time immemorial, a place both extremely dangerous and full of opportunities.

Even for powerhouses at the Return to Void realm, this was a place fraught with danger.

The entrance to the Divine Ruins was a volcanic crater, where a stretch of white bones lay, seemingly proclaiming death to all.

Before Ye Yuan even approached the entrance, he felt waves of scorching heat surging toward him.

The terrifying temperature was unbearable even for him, a powerhouse who had half a foot into the Peeping Heaven Divine Realm.

Once he entered from there, the temperature inside could be imagined.

"Is this the Supreme Elder's first time at the Divine Ruins?" Bai Xiu guessed from Ye Yuan's expression.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I've always been in seclusion for cultivation; this is indeed my first time at the Divine Ruins."

Bai Xiu said, "There is a natural flame restriction around the Divine Ruins that can incinerate all things. Even a peak Return to Void powerhouse cannot enter normally. About once every thousand years, this restriction has an intermission. The Divine Officer of the Tianlu Divine Palace will use the Divine Tool Flame Restriction Seal to break the restriction and allow us to enter."

Ye Yuan nodded and said, "So that's how it is!"

At that moment, a large group of divine path powerhouses flew over from the horizon; it was Huo Tianyang and his group from the Qiu Yu Sacred Palace.

The atmosphere on the Bai Ye Sacred Palace side instantly changed.

Especially Bai Chen, whose eyes were almost spitting fire.

He only hated that his strength was too weak; otherwise, he would have rushed up to fight Huo Tianyang long ago.

As soon as the Qiu Yu Sacred Palace landed, the two major forces were at daggers drawn, on the verge of a fight at the slightest disagreement.

"Oh my, my dear nephew, don't look at me with that expression! Once we're inside, if I accidentally push you into a pit of fire, that wouldn't be good," Huo Tianyang said provocatively.

Ye Yuan narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Just you?"

Huo Tianyang's expression stiffened, his eyes filled with wariness.

If it weren't for this guy in front of him, they would have wiped out the Bai Ye Sacred Palace long ago!

"Hey, kid, don't be too smug! Wait until you can come out of the Divine Ruins before you act arrogant!" Huo Tianyang sneered.

After saying that, Huo Tianyang led the powerhouses of Qiu Yu Sacred Palace to the side.

Ye Yuan's expression darkened; this Huo Tianyang... had something behind his words!

Bai Xiu's expression also turned unpleasant. He leaned close to Ye Yuan and whispered, "Supreme Elder, this Huo Tianyang seems a bit off!"

Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said, "Judging by his demeanor, it seems he has something to rely on! Remind everyone to be extra careful once we enter the Divine Ruins."

Bai Xiu nodded and said, "Mm, got it!"

As they spoke, groups of forces arrived one after another.

The entrance suddenly became much livelier.

However, the major forces all seemed quite interested in the White Night Sacred Palace.

"I never expected the White Night Sacred Palace to let a wet-behind-the-ears kid be its palace master. I wonder what Bai Xiu was thinking."

"Haha, this must be the funniest scene in the history of Tianlu World, isn't it? A little guy at the initial Cave Abstruse stage commanding a group of Sky Gazing experts—how hilarious!"

"I heard their Supreme Elder Ye Yuan is very formidable. Not only is he extremely powerful himself, but he also has a strong ghostly cultivator by his side who can fight Huo Tianyang to a standstill!"

...

These murmurs made Bai Chen, who was beside Ye Yuan, look somewhat uneasy.

He knew that after his master obtained the Longevity Heavenly Soul Stone, he might leave the Tianlu World.

When that time came, how would he face the many powerful enemies?

"Everyone in the world can look down on you, but you cannot look down on yourself! If they think you can't do it, then prove them wrong and shut them all up!" Ye Yuan said calmly.

Bai Chen's gaze sharpened, and his mind instantly calmed. He nodded and said, "I understand, Master!"

Just then, several figures flew over from the horizon.

The one in the center rode on the back of a winged tiger, exuding the demeanor of a master.

This person's aura was immensely powerful. Before he even arrived, a strong pressure descended, causing everyone's expressions to change.

A Return to Void expert!

Ye Yuan's expression turned serious as he looked at the old man on the tiger's back.

This must be the divine official of the Tianlu Divine Palace.

Soon, his gaze shifted to a person behind the old man—it turned out to be an old acquaintance, none other than Qing Feng.

Ye Yuan suddenly noticed that everyone around him had changed expressions. The atmosphere on the White Night Sacred Palace side instantly became oppressive.

Ye Yuan looked bewildered and asked Bai Xiu, "What's wrong?"

Bai Xiu's face was extremely grim as he said, "No wonder Huo Tianyang was so smug. He must have gotten the news long ago! This divine official is Duan Fei, the former palace master of the Qiuyu Sacred Palace!"

Ye Yuan's expression changed upon hearing this. He hadn't expected such a coincidence.

He knew that in the Tianlu World, once one broke through to the Return to Void Divine Realm, they would be recruited by the Tianlu Divine Palace and become a divine official!

After becoming a divine official, one had to sever all ties with their original sacred palace and serve the Tianlu Divine Palace loyally.

But even as a divine official, they were still human after all.

Humans have emotions—how could they completely ignore their original faction?

Judging by Huo Tianyang's behavior, he had clearly known long ago that the divine official this time was Duan Fei!

This meant that Duan Fei must have informed him in advance.

So during this trip to the Divine Ruins, what Duan Fei would do was obvious even to a fool.

Ye Yuan suddenly felt a headache coming on. Huo Tianyang alone was troublesome enough, and with the addition of the Return to Void expert Duan Fei, this journey was truly perilous!

"Ye Yuan, that masked guy with a cold, eerie aura seems to have been watching you! Hmm... this person feels somewhat familiar."

Wuchen's voice echoed in Ye Yuan's mind, making his heart skip a beat.

"Watching me? Somewhat familiar?"

A bitter smile flickered in Ye Yuan's heart as he said, "I think I know who he is! I never expected them all to gather together!"

"You know who he is?" Wuchen asked curiously.

"Who else could it be but Qin Tian?" Ye Yuan said coldly.
