Chapter 1874 Tang Yan

Ye Yuan's mocking voice spread across the wilderness, sounding extremely arrogant.

But at this moment, no one found him arrogant.

Ye Yuan, holding the Star Luo War Banner, was absolutely qualified to look down on these peak True God experts.

As for Xu Xing in the distance, he was already pale with fear.

Throughout the journey, he had never thought highly of Ye Yuan.

It was only when Ye Yuan broke through the Heaven-Slaying Sword Formation that he finally saw Ye Yuan's terrifying potential and strength.

By then, he already regarded Ye Yuan as a formidable opponent.

But now, he was afraid!

Ye Yuan, wielding the Star Luo War Banner, had actually fought to a draw with Ji Kang, Yang Yidao, and the others.

Killing him would be as easy as lifting a finger.

Ye Yuan looked around, shook the Star Luo War Banner in his hand, and grinned, "The Star Luo War Banner is right here. If anyone wants it, you're welcome to take it."

At this moment, who would still dare to seize the Star Luo War Banner?

Unless they were tired of living.

Ji Kang and the others all looked gloomy, feeling greatly humiliated.

Two True Gods at the Ninth Heaven and one at the Eighth Heaven had joined forces, yet only managed a draw with a single Heavenly God at the Third Heaven.

This was simply a ridiculous outcome.

But they knew that Ye Yuan was indeed qualified to possess a Heavenly Lord's spiritual treasure!

"Hmph! Let's go!" Ji Kang snorted coldly and led his group toward the next mountain peak.

There was certainly more than one Heavenly Lord's spiritual treasure here. Since Ye Yuan was so strong, it was unwise to stubbornly fight him here.

Ji Kang and his group left, and Yang Yidao and the others also gradually departed.

With these big shots gone, the others, not daring to provoke Ye Yuan, also left.

Inside the Heaven-Slaying Sword Formation, Ji Xun was still attempting to break through.

Ye Yuan found a spot on his own and sat down to meditate.

He had benefited greatly from the Heaven-Slaying Sword Formation earlier, greatly advancing his Sword Dao Law to the late stage of the Fifth Heaven, and he needed to digest it thoroughly.

Just then, Leng Qiuling and Gu Tianque had not yet attempted the formation, so he decided to wait.

And at that moment, a young man suddenly approached Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan slowly opened his eyes and frowned, "Something on your mind?"

"Heh, nothing much. I just saw Brother Ye's astonishing strength and wanted to make your acquaintance. I am Tang Yan, a wandering cultivator." The young man cupped his hands.

Ye Yuan had some impression of this Tang Yan. When he had attempted the Heaven-Slaying Sword Formation earlier, he had passed the first three levels quite easily, which had impressed Ye Yuan.

However, he had not chosen to continue but had come directly through the teleportation array.

Although Tang Yan was a wandering cultivator, his strength was certainly not ordinary.

But unlike Xu Xing and Zhuo Han, he was very low-key.

"So it's Brother Tang. Pleased to meet you!"

Ye Yuan always repaid respect with respect.

Since Tang Yan greeted him with a smile and was very humble, Ye Yuan naturally would not refuse.

Tang Yan smiled and said, "Actually, I saw Brother Ye make his move back at the Vermilion Gate. It really startled me! I have never seen anyone fuse Sword Dao Law and Space Law to such a degree!"

Ye Yuan said, "You flatter me. Brother Tang's strength is probably not as simple as it appears on the surface, right?"

Tang Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Heh, I do think I have some skills, but compared to Brother Ye, I'm far behind. Don't laugh at me, Brother Ye, but I was full of confidence before coming here, yet now I'm in a dilemma. As a wandering cultivator with no one to rely on, I wonder if I could follow Brother Ye, even as a servant."

Tang Yan put it euphemistically, but in essence, he wanted to find a backer.

The conflicts now were beyond his ability to participate in.

Many wandering cultivators had entered with the idea of fishing in troubled waters.

After all, True God experts also had to suppress their cultivation to the Heavenly God realm.

But now that everyone had recovered their strength, these Heavenly God cultivators were in an awkward position.

They could neither leave nor advance.

Although Ye Yuan was also a Heavenly God, no one regarded him as such anymore.

It was perfectly normal for Tang Yan to seek him as a backer.

Ye Yuan stared intently at Tang Yan, trying to read something in his eyes.

But Tang Yan looked frank, his gaze calm, revealing nothing.

"Heh, the secret realm ahead is probably even more terrifying than this Heaven-Slaying Sword Formation. I can barely protect myself, let alone protect Brother Tang. Sorry." Ye Yuan cupped his hands.

After a moment's thought, Ye Yuan still refused.

He was no novice just starting out; he understood the treachery of human hearts.

Who among those who entered the Immortal Forest World wasn't here for the treasures?

Among this group, the only one Ye Yuan could trust was Leng Qiuling.

Even Gu Tianque, he couldn't fully trust.

Now, a stranger asking to join him—how could he feel at ease keeping him by his side?

In fact, what worried Ye Yuan most was not Ji Kang and the others.

Using the Star Luo War Banner was just a cover; with the power of the Heavenly Dao, Ye Yuan could hold his own against Ji Kang and the others.

What truly worried Ye Yuan were the Heavenly Lord experts!

That was why he had said what he did to Fang Tian and the others!

Saying Ye Yuan was invincible in the Immortal Forest World had its limits.

Now, the Immortal Forest World had recovered some vitality, but dealing with a Heavenly Lord expert was still too much of a stretch.

If a Heavenly Lord expert were to go all out in the Immortal Forest World, it might shatter this small world.

Although the Immortal Forest Heavenly Lord was just a Heavenly Lord, he was no ordinary Heavenly Lord.

He was far more powerful than an ordinary Heavenly Lord!

Who could guarantee that no Heavenly Lord expert had suppressed their cultivation and sneaked in?

There was no flaw in Tang Yan.

But Ye Yuan felt that having no flaw was the biggest flaw!

When he stared at Tang Yan, Tang Yan's reaction was too calm.

After all, he had displayed strength at the peak of the True God realm.

A mere Heavenly God remained completely unmoved.

Of course, Ye Yuan did not deny that Tang Yan had a firm mind and was not swayed.

But he did not want to take the risk.

Tang Yan sighed and said, "I was too forward. I hope Brother Ye won't take offense. Farewell!"

Ye Yuan nodded and said nothing.

At that moment, a flash of light appeared, and Ji Xun's figure materialized.

Swoosh!

Almost without a moment's pause, Ji Xun pushed his movement technique to the extreme and fled into the distance.

Ji Xun had only passed three levels, which were nothing to him.

Inside the formation, he had seen everything happening outside.

So he chose to flee immediately.

Ye Yuan had been waiting for this moment. With a cold laugh, he activated the Star Luo War Banner again.

A terrifying burst of star power erupted, smashing toward Ji Xun.

Boom!

Ji Xun spat out a mouthful of blood, but his figure moved even faster!

"Ye Yuan, our enmity is irreconcilable!"

Ji Xun's roar came from afar.

But his aura was very unstable, clearly severely injured.

The crowd watched this scene in terror, silent as cicadas in winter.

A dignified True God at the Eighth Heaven, a city lord, fled at the first sight of Ye Yuan.

That was truly unprecedented.
