Chapter 1907: A Very Powerful Alchemist

"What did you say!" Yu Jinsong immediately roared in fury upon hearing this.

Ye Yuan, however, couldn't be bothered to look at him, staring straight at Yu Wenfeng without a trace of fear.

But Ye Yuan's audacity also left everyone stunned.

He didn't even want a hundred cities, only Yu Jinsong's life—truly magnanimous!

Of course, many also thought he was foolish.

Jiang Yutang, standing by, was moved, understanding that Ye Yuan did all this to vent their anger for him and his daughter.

A hundred cities—what power and glory that was! Yu Wenfeng had really gone all out to win Ye Yuan over.

Yet Ye Yuan refused without even a frown.

Yu Wenfeng frowned and said, "Anything but that, we can discuss."

Ye Yuan shook his head and said indifferently, "I'm the one setting conditions, not you."

Yu Wenfeng's expression changed, and he snorted coldly, "Kid, do you really want to bear the wrath of my City Lord's Mansion? Do you know what that means?"

"Hmph! Yu Wenfeng, you really think too highly of yourself. Ye Yuan, I, Li Kongming, will protect him!" Li Kongming sneered.

With his shrewdness, how could he miss this opportunity?

Neither of the two conditions Ye Yuan set could be accepted by those men.

Thus, Ye Yuan would have no choice but to choose the Kongming Academy.

Ye Yuan glanced at Li Kongming and said flatly, "Don't waste your efforts. I won't go to the Kongming Academy either."

Li Kongming's expression changed, and he asked, "Why... why? Do you know what consequences you'll face without the protection of my Kongming Academy?"

"Hahaha... Li Kongming, after all this fuss, you're just flattering yourself! He doesn't buy your act at all!" Yu Wenfeng laughed heartily upon hearing this.

Ye Yuan said calmly, "Don't think too highly of yourselves either. I, Ye Yuan, don't need anyone's protection. I came to Nine Xu Imperial Capital only to save Brother Jiang. Now that it's done, I don't want to meddle in your affairs."

Silence fell all around; everyone was shaken by Ye Yuan's words.

Arrogant!

Too arrogant!

Facing a group of Divine Lord experts, Ye Yuan dared to say such things—it was practically suicide!

Was this kid out of his mind, or did he really have something to rely on?

In the imperial capital, Divine Lord experts were like sovereigns, yet Ye Yuan told them not to think too highly of themselves!

Such words were outright treason.

And he himself was merely a minor Fifth Heaven Celestial Deity.

The three experts were taken aback, then Yu Wenfeng laughed loudly, "Kid, do you know who you're talking to?"

Ye Yuan replied calmly, "Of course I do!"

Yu Wenfeng laughed in fury, "Fine then, let me see what gives you the confidence to say such things!"

No one expected Ye Yuan to slowly nod and say, "You can try."

With that, Ye Yuan shoved Yu Jinsong and threw him out.

Everyone was stunned again—was Ye Yuan returning the hostage to his opponent?

How were they supposed to fight now?

The Divine Lord expert from the City Lord's Mansion quickly reached out and caught Yu Jinsong.

Finally free from Ye Yuan's control, Yu Jinsong pointed at Ye Yuan and roared, "Father, kill him! Kill him!"

Boom!

Yu Wenfeng struck out with a palm, and a terrifying wave of energy crushed toward Ye Yuan.

"Brother Jiang, follow me!"

Ye Yuan grabbed the pale-faced Jiang Yutang by the collar, moved his body, and vanished from the spot.

Yu Wenfeng's terrifying palm strike landed on empty air.

"Spatial translocation!" The crowd of experts exclaimed in shock.

They all knew Ye Yuan's spatial laws were formidable, but they hadn't realized they had reached such a level.

"No wonder! No wonder he could fight his way through Carefree Forest—his spatial laws have already reached the Fourth Heaven!"

"More than that! He has fused sword laws with spatial laws—such talent is terrifying!"

"So this is his confidence—he's already in an invincible position!"

...

Amid the exclamations, Ye Yuan's figure reappeared.

The spot he stood on was precisely outside the range of the three experts.

His earlier adjustments had all been calculated in advance.

Once these three launched an attack, he could instantly teleport away, evading their strikes.

Otherwise, why would he put himself in danger?

So, the moment Yu Wenfeng attacked, Ye Yuan dodged.

Standing at a distance from the three experts, Ye Yuan stood proudly, giving off an almost surreal aura.

Though Ye Yuan was merely an unremarkable Fifth Heaven Celestial Deity, his momentum was in no way inferior to the three Divine Lord experts.

Ye Yuan looked at Yu Wenfeng and said calmly, "Now, do you see my confidence?"

Yu Wenfeng snorted coldly, "So what? Do you think I can't do anything to you just because you can use spatial translocation?"

Ye Yuan said flatly, "I know Divine Lord experts are extremely fast, comparable to spatial translocation. But if I weren't confident in my speed, do you think I'd stand here chatting with you? If you don't believe me, try again."

That last move, Yu Wenfeng hadn't gone all out, and neither had Ye Yuan.

Now, as Ye Yuan's cultivation deepened and his understanding of spatial laws grew, his spatial translocation skills were far from what they used to be.

Even facing Divine Lord experts, he had the means to escape.

As long as he avoided the Divine Lord's World Power, he could roam freely across the world!

Of course, if the space for maneuvering was insufficient and he fell into a Divine Lord's World Domain, he would be in danger.

That was why he had taken Yu Jinsong hostage and retreated outside the city—to stay out of these Divine Lord experts' World Domains.

All of this had been calculated from the start.

If he hadn't planned an escape route, how would he dare to venture alone into Nine Xu Imperial Capital to rescue Jiang Yutang?

Yu Wenfeng's face turned livid with rage. As a mid-stage Divine Lord, he couldn't even capture a mere Fifth Heaven Celestial Deity—it was humiliating enough.

Now, he wouldn't rashly try again.

And now, he understood Ye Yuan's intention.

The spot where Ye Yuan stood was precisely just outside the reach of his World Power, making him extremely uncomfortable.

"What a formidable kid, interesting! Interesting! But you may escape, but can the Tianying Imperial City escape?" The previously silent Linghua Pavilion Master suddenly spoke up.

Ye Yuan wasn't surprised. Tianying Imperial City was a vassal of Nine Xu Imperial Capital; it would be too easy for them to find out about his connection to Tianying.

He looked at the Linghua Pavilion Master and said calmly, "Indeed, I can't stop you from annihilating Tianying right now, but you can't catch me either. Remember this: if you dare touch Tianying, within five hundred years, I will wipe out all three of your factions!"

Ye Yuan said this lightly, but the killing intent in his voice was unmistakable to all.

"Heh, you sure are confident, kid! Five hundred years to destroy us?" Yu Wenfeng sneered.

Clearly, he didn't believe it.

Ye Yuan looked at him and said calmly, "If I wanted to, maybe it wouldn't even take five hundred years. Don't forget, I am also an alchemist—a very powerful alchemist!"
