Chapter 1514: Purple Extreme Sect

Mo Han directly blocked the path of the three, and beside him followed a young man with delicate features.

Ye Yuan gave this Qinghuang a slight once-over and found his gaze deep and his demeanor exceptionally steady, clearly not someone to be trifled with.

Yihan frowned and snorted coldly, “Mo Han, what do you mean by this?”

Mo Han narrowed his eyes and smiled, “Nothing much. Master Yuanye did me a favor, so I ought to give something in return, don’t you think?”

Toward Ye Yuan, Mo Han was now filled with deep resentment.

He had become the laughingstock of all Blood Yan Hall masters.

Just a moment ago, he had been mocked by someone.

But mockery aside, he had no way to deal with Ye Yuan.

Mo Han was no fool; he knew Ye Yuan would surely gain the attention of headquarters.

After all, a alchemy prodigy capable of triggering the Heavenly Resonance of the Dao was far too rare.

But before that, he still wanted to save face, or else his hatred would not be quelled.

Only Yihan knew that Tianxing had come to find Ye Yuan.

Now, Tianxing had changed his appearance and concealed his aura, following beside Yihan like an old servant; Mo Han did not recognize him at all.

Ye Yuan glanced at Mo Han and said indifferently, “If you have any tricks, just bring them on.”

Mo Han, however, smiled slyly, “Hey, still so arrogant! In this ruin, it’s not alchemy that matters, but martial arts! Do you think that just because you defeated a weakling like Kasin, you’re invincible? Even if you’re a genius, if you fall in the ruins, you’re no longer a genius!”

These words were a blatant threat.

“Hmph! Lord Mo Han is quite imposing, daring to lay a hand on someone headquarters wants?” A thunderous voice entered his ears.

Mo Han frowned at this and was about to flare up when he suddenly noticed that the old man behind Yihan had a faint blue flame dancing at his fingertip.

His gaze sharpened, and he immediately recognized that flame.

This faint blue flame was called the Pale Blue Heavenly Fire, the divine flame of Tianxing, an elder of the Imperial City’s Medicine Hall.

This shock was no small matter!

This old man was actually Elder Tianxing in person!

Mo Han was flustered and was about to bow when Tianxing transmitted again, “Don’t make a sound; just know it! My trip here is confidential. If you dare to speak out, watch your life! Also, you’d better warn your people—if they dare to touch Ye Yuan, you know the consequences!”

Mo Han broke out in a cold sweat, terrified out of his wits.

He had originally planned to use this ruin expedition to teach Ye Yuan a good lesson, but he never expected the higher-ups to act so quickly, already sending Elder Tianxing!

“Haha, Sister Yihan is here! Master Yuanye!”

“Sister Yihan, you’re so late!”

“Sister Yihan, Master Yuanye, our Medicine Hall master asked me to convey his thanks to you.”

…

At this moment, many people noticed Yihan and her two companions, and the hall masters came forward one after another.

Seeing this, Mo Han felt as if he had been granted amnesty and obediently stepped aside, not daring to say another word.

Although the matter of Ye Yuan triggering the Heavenly Resonance of the Dao could not be spoken of publicly, his lecture was not a secret.

It was only natural for those hall masters to come and greet him.

However, most of these geniuses were kept in the dark, having no idea what had happened.

A large group of Monarch-level experts being so courteous to a mere General-level cultivator shocked them greatly.

“Who is that kid? His strength is so poor, yet so many big shots go to greet him.”

“Greet him? I feel like… the hall masters are trying to curry favor with him?”

“Could it be that this kid’s strength has already surpassed ours? That… impossible, right?”

“Nonsense! What do you know? That kid is an alchemist, said to be extremely skilled in alchemy. Last time in Kapen Royal City, he lectured many Medicine Hall masters!”

“What! A two-star alchemist lecturing Medicine Hall masters? That… no wonder the hall masters are acting this way.”

…

The geniuses gathered in small groups, gossiping about Ye Yuan’s background.

Soon, they had thoroughly uncovered Ye Yuan’s “details.”

Upon learning that Ye Yuan was an alchemy expert, they lost interest in him.

How much threat could an alchemy expert at the General level pose to them?

At that moment, a surge of demonic energy rolled in, and a powerful aura descended from the sky.

“Elder Dean!” The hall masters bowed.

Clearly, this Lord Dean held a very high position in the Blood Yan Hall.

Dean’s gaze swept toward Tianxing’s direction, and he said indifferently, “The time has come. I will now open the ruins. Those who can finally pass the trials will receive generous rewards! However, all rewards within the ruins belong to my Blood Yan Hall! Anyone who dares to embezzle them will be an enemy of my Blood Yan Hall!”

As he spoke, Dean’s murderous aura made all the geniuses shudder inwardly.

Ye Yuan was also surprised; it seemed the rewards in this ruin were quite substantial!

Dean waved his hand, and over a thousand milky-white stones floated in the air.

He made a hand seal, and the thousand-plus milky-white stones emitted a dazzling light, shooting straight toward the ruin gate.

“It’s mid-grade demon spirit stones! My god, over a thousand mid-grade demon spirit stones—Blood Yan Hall is really generous!”

“It seems this ruin is indeed extraordinary!”

“No wonder Blood Yan Hall went to such great expense to bring us here; the rewards in this ruin must be very rich!”

…

Those thousand-plus milky-white stones were mid-grade demon spirit stones, a higher grade than low-grade ones!

One mid-grade demon spirit stone was equivalent to ten thousand low-grade ones, used by cultivators above the Monarch level.

In cities of the royal city level, mid-grade demon spirit stones rarely appeared.

Mid-grade demon spirit stones were extremely precious, often in short supply on the market.

Dean’s opening move of over a thousand was truly a grand gesture.

“Rumble…”

The stone gate slowly opened, revealing a pitch-black cave.

“Brother Yuanye, take good care of yourself after entering. If things seem impossible, just give up. You must know, your life is far more important than the treasures in the ruin,” Tianxing transmitted.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Brother, rest assured, I won’t gamble with my life.”

“Everyone, go in! Once inside, you will naturally know what to do,” Dean said indifferently.

Hearing this, the geniuses did not hesitate and filed in one by one, disappearing into the cave entrance.

Ye Yuan’s vision blurred, and he was directly teleported away.

When he reappeared, he found himself in a vast hall.

And he was standing on a fighting platform.

Looking around, Ye Yuan saw that the hall contained twelve such platforms.

And he happened to occupy one.

Like Ye Yuan, eleven others stood on platforms, looking somewhat flustered and at a loss.

“Welcome to the inheritance ground of the Purple Extreme Sect!” An ancient, weathered voice echoed through the hall.
