Chapter 1923: Bai Tong

"Me, unlucky? You still don't get the situation, do you?"

Similarly, Qin Zhen looked at Ye Yuan as if he were an idiot.

Was this kid a fool?

A mere Seventh Heaven Celestial Deity, daring to speak such arrogant words.

After all, he himself was a True God realm expert. Didn't he know the gap between the Celestial Deity realm and the True God realm?

"You're the one who doesn't understand the situation!" Ye Yuan sneered in response.

Suddenly, an even more powerful fluctuation reverberated through the courtyard, directly pushing back Qin Zhen's world force.

"Pfft!"

Caught off guard, Qin Zhen was sent flying by the immense force, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Beside Ye Yuan, a white-robed youth with flowing sleeves had appeared, seemingly out of nowhere.

Qin Zhen's eyes widened in horror as he exclaimed, "T-T-Fourth Heaven True God!"

At this moment, Ye Yuan also curiously sized up the young man beside him, with rosy lips and white teeth—so beautiful that even women would be jealous.

Ye Yuan hadn't expected that after growing up, Tong'er would look like this.

Sensing Ye Yuan's gaze, Tong'er rolled his eyes and said irritably, "What's there to stare at?"

Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "I thought you'd turn into an old geezer, but instead you look like this! Tsk tsk, not bad."

Having spent a long time with Tong'er, even though he knew he was a Heavenly Sovereign expert, his baby-faced appearance made it hard to feel any reverence.

Now that he had suddenly turned into a young man, Ye Yuan couldn't adjust his mindset.

Tong'er's expression shifted between gloom and brightness as he said coldly, "From now on, call me Lord Bai Tong! Otherwise, hmph!"

Ye Yuan waved his hand and laughed, "Pfft, Lord... Bai Tong? I... I can't quite wrap my head around it yet."

Bai Tong rolled his eyes again, realizing he simply couldn't intimidate this guy.

Still, he owed it to Ye Yuan that he could recover to this state.

"Forget it, just call me Brother Bai! This time, I really have you to thank. My recovery is far better than I imagined. And thanks to you, if I revert to youth again, I'll directly return to this realm without having to become that before." Bai Tong said with some excitement.

His initial expectation was to recover to the First Heaven True God.

After all, the pill was too difficult to refine.

But who knew that Ye Yuan would end up refining a Haoling Divine Grade pill, with recovery effects far exceeding his expectations.

Fourth Heaven True God, mid-stage True God—the strength was a completely different concept.

More importantly, the Haoling Muyu Huimeng Dan that Ye Yuan refined had repaired some flaws in his cultivation technique, so that when he reverted to youth again, he wouldn't become a powerless child.

Ye Yuan was also somewhat surprised by the efficacy of the Muyu Huimeng Dan.

The senior who created such a heaven-defying pill must have been incredibly powerful.

It seemed that hidden dragons and crouching tigers abounded in this world; one truly couldn't underestimate the heroes under heaven!

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Then I must congratulate Brother Bai. But first, let's deal with this scum."

Qin Zhen's expression stiffened, and he fell to his knees with a thud, wailing, "L-Lord, this humble one failed to recognize your eminence and offended you. Please, Lord, treat me like a fart and let me go!"

Seeing Bai Tong's imposing aura, Qin Zhen had no desire to resist.

A First Heaven True God against a Fourth Heaven True God?

Only if he had been kicked in the head by a donkey!

Begging for mercy was the only way he could think of.

In his heart, he had already cursed Jiang Hua's ancestors for eighteen generations.

That bastard had clearly dug a pit for him to jump into!

When he made his move, Jiang Hua hadn't told him that Ye Yuan had a Fourth Heaven True God expert by his side!

"Let you go? If I had no means to protect myself, would you have let me leave today? Since you had the intention to kill, you must be prepared to be killed. Brother Bai, make your move." Ye Yuan said indifferently.

He felt no pity for Qin Zhen.

The man had clearly come to kill him, yet expected him to be merciful and let him go?

Bai Tong nodded slightly, and without any visible movement, he simply pointed a finger.

Qin Zhen only saw a white dot gradually enlarging in his pupils.

And then, there was no then.

Before Bai Tong, he couldn't even muster his divine essence.

Seeing this, Ye Yuan's pupils also contracted slightly. "Brother Bai, impressive! I never expected you to be not only a Seven-Star Divine Alchemist but also so formidable in martial arts."

Bai Tong said proudly, "Don't tell me you think you're the only one in this world who understands spatial laws?"

The two exchanged glances and burst into hearty laughter.

...

"What did you say! Qin Zhen is dead? H-How is that possible?" Hearing the news of Qin Zhen's death, Jiang Hua nearly jumped up.

A True God realm expert going after a Seventh Heaven Celestial Deity, and ending up dead?

Such a thing was unheard of.

"T-This humble one dared not deceive the steward! I waited in the backyard for the result, but when Lord Qin Zhen didn't return for a long time, I ventured into the front yard and found Lord Qin Zhen already dead."

Ye Yuan was not one to kill indiscriminately. The servant was just a young Divine Lord realm cultivator following orders, so he naturally had no intention of wiping him out.

However, the front yard was isolated by a formation, so the servant in the backyard didn't know what had happened.

By the time he went to the front yard, everyone was already gone.

Jiang Hua's face changed repeatedly. In his eyes, although Ye Yuan was quite capable, he was ultimately just a young man from the imperial city. What background could he have?

For a place like the imperial city, a True God was already an existence they looked up to.

But who knew that Qin Zhen, a True God realm expert, would die so silently in their own courtyard?

After all, killing a True God realm expert and defeating one were two completely different concepts.

Given Qin Zhen's strength, unless it was an expert above Third Heaven True God, it would be impossible for him not to even have a chance to escape.

After all, that was Qin Zhen's own territory!

"Could it be that the kid has an expert above Third Heaven True God by his side? H-How is that possible?" Jiang Hua couldn't believe it.

Just then, a servant walked in and cupped his hands to Jiang Hua, saying, "Steward Jiang, Ye Yuan and his group have entered the Danchen Pavilion."

Jiang Hua was taken aback. "Danchen Pavilion? What are they doing there? Right, this kid wants to make a name for himself through the Danchen Pavilion! Heh, no wonder he spoke so arrogantly, saying he'd make the family head come to him personally. So this was his plan! But... he's too naive! The Danchen Pavilion is full of experts. Does he really think a mere Celestial Deity can stir up any waves?"
