Chapter 1807: You, Afraid

"You... actually... really killed him?"

Chiba stared at the now-dead Zhong Hanlin, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ye Yuan had actually killed someone!

The face of the senior elder of the front hall of Tianrui Peak was even uglier.

He thought his face was big enough and his status high enough, but Ye Yuan didn't give a damn about him.

If he hadn't spoken, it might have been fine; but as soon as he did, Ye Yuan directly crushed Zhong Hanlin to death.

"This... this is a huge mess!"

"Is this guy crazy? No one has ever dared to kill within the bounds of a sub-peak; he's asking for death!"

"Maybe he wants to die together, after all, the Feihua faction went too far!"

...

Everyone was utterly baffled by this suicidal killing.

They could only assume that Ye Yuan was blinded by hatred and wanted to die together with Zhong Hanlin.

Steward Zheng's face was grim to the extreme, and he roared, "This is rebellion! Seize him!"

Behind him, two Divine Lord realm experts had long been poised to strike.

At his command, they shot toward Ye Yuan like lightning.

"Stop!"

A crisp shout rang out, and Bai Liqingyan's figure appeared just in time, blocking Ye Yuan.

This sudden turn of events caught Ye Yuan somewhat off guard.

Bai Liqingyan turned to look at Ye Yuan, her eyes filled with complexity, as if she had a thousand words to say.

But clearly, now was not the time for talking.

Bai Liqingyan's sudden appearance caught everyone off guard.

"Steward Zheng, although Ye Yuan violated sect rules, this matter was originally provoked by Chiba and Zhong Hanlin! They have repeatedly tried to kill Ye Yuan, and I have seen it with my own eyes!"

Bai Liqingyan now was different from when she first entered the sect.

Back then, she was still somewhat immature, constantly constrained by Jiang Xueyan, like a little sister.

But now, her aura was completely different.

When she spoke, she carried an imposing authority, exuding the demeanor of a superior.

Two hundred years had passed, and Bai Liqingyan had long broken through to the Divine Lord realm. Her current aura was no weaker than Chiba's.

A genius is a genius; their rise is unstoppable by anyone.

When she spoke, her words carried weight. Even Steward Zheng dared not casually order an arrest.

"Hmph! Girl Bai, this brat is too arrogant. He killed the most promising disciple of my Tianrui Peak right in front of me! If I don't kill him today, how can I continue as the senior elder of the front hall?" At this, the front hall senior elder snorted coldly and said angrily.

Here, he had the strongest strength and the highest status.

But Ye Yuan showed him no respect at all, and now he felt somewhat embarrassed.

Bai Liqingyan cupped her hands to him and said, "Elder Tao, what Ye Yuan did was indeed improper, but he was blinded by rage and acted unwisely, which is understandable. Bai apologizes to you on his behalf! However, I will take Ye Yuan to the Law Enforcement Hall to confront Chiba! Ye Yuan does not deserve death!"

Chiba looked at Ye Yuan and sneered, "After all these years, you're still so pathetic! You can only hide behind a woman!"

Bai Liqingyan's face turned cold, and she said sharply, "Chiba, shut up!"

Chiba laughed loudly, "What, am I wrong?"

Bai Liqingyan was about to say something, but Ye Yuan stepped in front of her and said calmly, "Chiba, you arrogant fool! This time, you won't be so lucky! Today, let's settle our accounts properly!"

At these words, everyone looked at Ye Yuan as if he were an idiot.

Big brother, you can't even save yourself right now, okay?

If you want to show off, pick another time and place.

Saying such big talk, you really don't know what you're doing.

Sure enough, Chiba burst into loud laughter and said, "I won't be so lucky? Kid, are you brain-dead? Can't you see the situation now?"

Ye Yuan said calmly, "I came today to take your life and Zhong Hanlin's! Now that he's gone ahead, soon I'll send you to meet him."

Chiba sneered, "Just you?"

Ye Yuan nodded, "Just me! Do you dare to fight me?"

Baili Qingyan's pupils contracted, and she exclaimed, "Ye Yuan, are you crazy? He's a Divine Lord realm expert!"

Chiba laughed wildly, "Hahaha... You, a mere Ninth Heaven Divine Lord, want to challenge me? What qualifications do you have?"

Ye Yuan looked at Chiba with a half-smile, "You're scared."

Chiba sneered, "Scared? Heh, kid, provocation won't work! You're just an outer disciple, what right do you have to challenge me?"

Ye Yuan was right; Chiba was indeed a bit uneasy.

Not that he was afraid of Ye Yuan, but he felt Ye Yuan's unpredictability was too great.

When Ye Yuan was at the Sixth Heaven Divine Lord, he could fight across three minor realms, and that was against two elites like Duan Qinghong and Zhong Hanlin.

After two hundred years, Chiba really couldn't be sure about Ye Yuan's combat strength.

Now that Ye Yuan was doomed to die, there was no need for Chiba to fight him to the death.

If he won, he'd gain nothing.

If he lost, he'd never be able to hold his head high again.

Although Chiba was confident, Baili Qingyan still detected that trace of unease in him.

Her shock was beyond words.

In these two hundred years, she had received the sect's focused cultivation, and her strength had soared, leaving her peers behind.

Could it be that Ye Yuan's current strength was no less than hers?

Was that... possible?

After all, Ye Yuan was only at the Ninth Heaven Divine Lord now!

"Hmph! Is this kid trying to fish in troubled waters? A Ninth Heaven Divine Lord challenging a Divine Lord realm? Overestimating himself! In my opinion, there's no need for a duel. Chiba is right; you're a criminal, unqualified for a duel! Baili girl, step aside!" Elder Tao snorted coldly.

Baili Qingyan's expression changed, "No! Even if Ye Yuan has committed a crime, the Enforcement Hall should punish him! Ye Yuan, come with me to the Enforcement Hall!"

Baili Qingyan pulled Ye Yuan, about to leave.

Everyone's expressions changed. Given Baili Qingyan's current status, no one dared to do anything to her.

Ye Yuan's protective talisman was quite solid!

"Baili girl, are you rebelling?" Elder Tao, having been rebuffed repeatedly, was nearly furious.

Just then, a terrifying aura descended from the sky.

A figure stepped slowly out of the void.

Suddenly, Ye Yuan's heart trembled; he felt as if the whole world was collapsing.

In an instant, his entire body was drenched in sweat!

It was as if someone had grabbed his heart, making it impossible even to breathe.

A True God realm expert!

That was the first thought that flashed through Ye Yuan's mind!

The man's gaze was like lightning, coldly fixed on Ye Yuan, and he slowly spoke, "By the sect's decree, anyone who kills a fellow disciple shall be executed without mercy! Now, you can die."

With that, without giving Ye Yuan any chance to argue, he lightly pointed a finger!
