Chapter 1893: News of Li'er

Outside the Tianying Imperial City, a figure materialized.

The young man stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the modest city below with a disdainful expression.

Hum!

The young man released his aura, and a terrifying presence instantly enveloped the entire city.

Zuo Shujie and a group of Divine Lord experts were gathered around Ning Tianping, firing questions at him.

They were very curious about Ye Yuan's experiences over the past few centuries and naturally wanted to know everything.

But just then, a dreadful pressure descended upon the entire Tianying Imperial City.

Zuo Shujie's expression changed drastically, his face turning pale, and cold sweat began to seep from his forehead.

“Th-this… what kind of pressure is this?” Zuo Shujie said with a grim face.

This aura was too terrifying, so terrifying that it extinguished any thought of resistance.

As for how strong it actually was, someone of Zuo Shujie's level had no way to judge.

Tong'er, who had been amusing the Treasure Pig, showed a hint of doubt in her eyes and said calmly, “Judging from this aura, it should be a Heavenly Sovereign.”

Everyone's expressions changed dramatically, and they looked at Tong'er in disbelief.

“H-Heavenly Sovereign? Are you joking?” Zuo Shujie said incredulously.

He simply couldn't imagine why a Heavenly Sovereign expert would grace the Tianying Imperial City.

“Is Ye Yuan here? Tell him to get the hell out!” Just then, a voice resounded throughout the Tianying Imperial City, confirming Tong'er's words.

Calling himself 'this Sovereign'—that was indeed a Heavenly Sovereign!

After the shock, Zuo Shujie led the others out to greet him.

The figure in midair appeared both ethereal and dazzling; Zuo Shujie dared not look directly at him.

Zuo Shujie knelt respectfully and said humbly, “Zuo Shujie, Lord of Tianying City, pays homage to the Heavenly Sovereign!”

Though he dared not look directly, from the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse that this Heavenly Sovereign was extremely young, which shocked Zuo Shujie deeply.

He had never seen a Heavenly Sovereign before, but even a fool knew that those who attained the position of Heavenly Sovereign were all ancient monsters who had lived for millions of years.

This young man before him clearly had not!

Where had such a young Heavenly Sovereign come from?

The young man accepted the homage calmly and said indifferently, “Which one is Ye Yuan?”

Everyone's expression changed, realizing that this Heavenly Sovereign had come for Ye Yuan.

For a moment, the atmosphere was terrifyingly silent.

“It seems you think this Sovereign is easy to talk to?”

The young man slowly raised his hand, and the wind and clouds shifted violently!

The world's spiritual energy within a radius of a hundred thousand miles crazily converged toward him.

The world power of a Heavenly Sovereign suddenly erupted, causing heaven and earth to change color.

For the first time in their lives, these experts from the backwater witnessed the terror of a Heavenly Sovereign.

And the price was death.

If this palm fell, the Tianying Imperial City would be reduced to ashes.

Mustering all his strength, Zuo Shujie said, “Heavenly Sovereign, please calm your anger. Ye Yuan… he is not in the city!”

The young man frowned slightly and said, “No matter where he is, have him come see me.”

This request was somewhat unreasonable.

But what could be done?

Not to mention a small Tianying Imperial City, even the Nine Xu Imperial Capital would be powerless before a Heavenly Sovereign.

Another silence.

The young man seemed to lose patience and said flatly, “In that case, you can all die!”

With a wave of his hand, the wind surged and spiritual energy billowed.

The howling gale scraped Zuo Shujie's cheeks painfully.

“Stop!”

Just then, the void rippled, and a figure appeared.

Everyone's expression changed drastically when they saw that figure.

“Milord, run!” Ning Tianping roared.

Ye Yuan did not run. His gaze was fixed on the young man looking down from above, confirming that he had never seen him before.

The young man had a face like jade, his hair bun loosely tied, and he was quite handsome, like a friendly older brother.

But the murderous aura on him could not be concealed.

Clearly, he bore no goodwill toward Ye Yuan.

“You're looking for me?” Ye Yuan frowned.

“Do you know Yue Mengli?” the young man asked instead.

Ye Yuan's whole body trembled violently, his pupils contracted, and his voice shook as he asked, “You know Li'er?”

Boom!

Without any visible movement from the young man, Ye Yuan's body was struck as if by lightning, turning into a streak of light and crashing to the ground.

“Li'er? Is that a name you're worthy of calling?” the young man said sharply, displeased.

Ye Yuan spat out a mouthful of blood, already severely injured.

This was different from the Immortal Forest World; facing a Heavenly Sovereign, he was utterly powerless.

Even just the other's exhalation of world power was something he could not withstand.

But at this moment, Ye Yuan's heart was filled with ecstasy.

For the past few centuries, Li'er had been missing without a trace.

Now, from this young man's words, at least Li'er was safe.

With a flicker, Ye Yuan appeared before the young man again.

His injuries were shocking, yet he stood stubbornly.

“Who are you? Is Li'er… doing well now?” Ye Yuan ignored his own injuries, only wanting to know how Li'er was.

The young man frowned slightly, and his world power erupted again.

Boom!

Ye Yuan was once again blasted into the ground!

“I told you, you are not worthy to call her Li'er! Next time, you're dead!” the young man said coldly.

Whoosh!

Ye Yuan's figure appeared again, but his aura was extremely chaotic, covered in wounds.

The young man frowned slightly, clearly displeased with Ye Yuan's stubbornness and resilience.

He had not held back with those two strikes; for an ordinary Divine Lord, let alone flying back to him, it would be a miracle if they survived.

But Ye Yuan stubbornly stood before him.

No one spoke; the world was utterly silent.

Everyone's eyes were on Ye Yuan, filled with worry.

They knew Ye Yuan's temper, and they knew about his relationship with Yue Mengli.

This Heavenly Sovereign who had appeared out of nowhere wouldn't even let Ye Yuan call her name—how could he endure that?

The young man paid no attention to Ye Yuan's anger.

“An ant at the Divine Lord level, what right do you have to be angry? I came to tell you that Junior Sister Mengli is no longer from the same world as you. From today on, forget her! Otherwise, you know the consequences!” The young man looked at Ye Yuan, his expression calm.

Then, Ye Yuan moved.

One step, two steps…

He walked step by step toward the young man, and countless blue fine lines spread out from Ye Yuan's body, winding toward the young man.

Seeing this, the young man, who had been calm and composed, finally showed a change in expression.

His pupils contracted sharply, and he exclaimed, “Dao patterns! Th-this… how is this possible?”

The blue fine lines grew more numerous and denser, almost enveloping the entire space.

Ye Yuan's eyes grew colder and colder, devoid of any emotion.

Seeing Ye Yuan's eyes, somehow, a chill rose in the young man's heart.

For a Heavenly Sovereign, a Divine Lord posed no threat at all.

But at this moment, a feeling called danger spread throughout his body.
