Chapter 1947: Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils

"My lord, the envoy from Cloudmoon Imperial City has arrived and is seeking an audience outside," Ning Tianping reported.

Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Let them in. The Cloudmoon Imperial City has deep ties with the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, so I can hardly refuse. Moreover, the city lord's personal visit is a show of respect."

Ning Tianping said, "My lord, couldn't Lord Zuo handle such matters? Why must you receive them in person?"

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "A great tree provides good shade! I alone need not curry favor with anyone, but the entire Sky Eagle Imperial City cannot be guarded by my strength alone. Having a Heavenly Emperor-level force as a backing makes things much more secure."

Hearing this, Ning Tianping felt a surge of respect.

In his eyes, most city lords sought only personal gain, exploiting the blood and sweat of martial artists.

But Ye Yuan was different. He was unrestrained by nature and disliked being bound by the identity of an Inspector.

Yet to protect those around him, he continuously developed Sky Eagle and forged ties with major powers like the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

When faced with such matters, he had to stoop to compromise.

Ning Tianping understood that, given Ye Yuan's temperament, he would rather not bother with such mundane affairs.

After Ning Tianping withdrew, a group of people soon entered.

The foremost was a middle-aged man at the Eighth Heaven of Divine God realm, the strongest among the group.

Upon seeing Ye Yuan, the man immediately cupped his hands and laughed heartily, "I've long heard that Master Ye achieved success at a young age. Meeting you today, I see you are truly extraordinary!"

Ye Yuan returned the gesture with a smile, "City Lord Xu Guang has an imposing presence, far from ordinary. Your breakthrough to True God is imminent. Come, let's sit and talk."

The guests and host took their seats, and Ye Yuan said, "City Lord Xu Guang, I will refine the pills you requested as soon as possible. Please be patient for two days."

Xu Guang laughed heartily, "No rush, no rush. I know Master Ye's alchemy is unparalleled; how could I be impatient? I understand that asking Master Ye to act is no easy matter, so I naturally cannot treat you poorly. I have a precious treasure here for your inspection."

Ye Yuan nodded with a smile, "Oh? City Lord Xu speaks so solemnly; I truly must take a look. Tianping, go instruct Lord Zuo to prepare a banquet to entertain City Lord Xu and his party."

Ning Tianping was somewhat puzzled but acknowledged and withdrew.

Xu Guang smiled and produced a small tray. Ye Yuan's gaze sharpened, immediately sensing the tray's extraordinary nature—it was a True God Mystic Treasure!

"Master Ye, this treasure is called... Locking Space Without a Trace!"

As Xu Guang spoke, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, and everything became unreal.

Ye Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly but did not show much surprise.

Xu Guang still smiled and said, "Once activated, the surrounding space is locked! Those outside cannot enter, and those inside... cannot leave! Heh heh, Master Ye, will you surrender obediently, or do we brothers need to take action?"

Ye Yuan looked at Xu Guang and said calmly, "Are you people from the Dead Soul Sect?"

Xu Guang's expression changed slightly, "How do you know?"

Ye Yuan looked at 'Xu Guang' and said flatly, "Your disguise is indeed good, but unfortunately... it cannot fool my eyes. With such mastery in disguise arts, I can think of no one else but the Dead Soul Sect."

Cultivating the perfect Six-Turn Golden Body had brought Ye Yuan immense benefits.

This time, Ye Yuan had undergone marrow cleansing and bodily重塑, greatly enhancing his eyesight.

The Sun-Moon Heavenly Pupil, having accompanied Ye Yuan for so long, had its power elevated by more than a notch using Ye Yuan's perfect ocular power.

Now, Ye Yuan's ocular power could well be described as fiery eyes and golden pupils.

The moment 'Xu Guang' and his group entered, Ye Yuan had seen through them.

This group was precisely the five assassins sent by the Dead Soul Sect.

And 'Xu Guang' was none other than Lu Xin, a True God at the Fourth Heaven.

Lu Xin looked at Ye Yuan, a hint of confusion in his eyes, but soon he relaxed and said, "It is said that Master Ye values loyalty and cherishes those around him. Indeed, it's true! You saw through us but sent that Ning boy away. It seems you were afraid of accidentally harming him."

Ye Yuan remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.

Last time, the Death Soul Gate had sent a True God of the First Heaven; this time, they would naturally be stronger.

With Ning Tianping here, he had no confidence in guaranteeing his safety.

"Heh heh, it seems you've already resigned yourself to coming with us?" Lu Xin laughed.

Ye Yuan said calmly, "You want to capture me and take me back to refine pills for you?"

Lu Xin said, "I'm just following orders from above. As for what they want you for, that's not my place to ask. Alright, I'll give you a chance now: seal your Divine Sea yourself and come with us."

Ye Yuan sneered, "Leave? You killed Xu Guang and his men, infiltrated my Tianying Imperial City, and you still think you can leave alive?"

Lu Xin and the others were taken aback, then laughed derisively, "Arrogant talk! Do you, a mere Divine Realm cultivator, think you can resist us?"

Suddenly, a figure appeared beside Ye Yuan—it was Bai Tong.

With Wu Chen's warning, how could Ye Yuan not take precautions?

Thus, for the past six months, Bai Tong had been in seclusion in the Purple Extreme Hall and had always stayed by Ye Yuan's side.

When Lu Xin saw Bai Tong, his pupils contracted and his expression changed drastically.

This person's aura was exactly the same as his own—also a True God of the Fourth Heaven!

When had Tianying Imperial City gained such an expert?

Could it be that Mo Qing had died at his hands?

"I'll leave this guy to you. No problem?" Ye Yuan said.

Bai Tong rolled his eyes and said, "Drop the 'no problem'—just 'problem.'"

Hearing this, Ye Yuan was momentarily speechless, then laughed despite himself.

This guy really has a cold sense of humor!

The two chatted, completely disregarding the five assassins.

Luxin sneered, "Idiots, so what if there's a True God at the Fourth Heaven? He's just a Divine Lord—can he possibly take on four True Gods at the Second Heaven?"

The other four were all uniformly Divine Lords at the Second Heaven.

Ye Yuan said calmly, "Why not try and see?"

With that, Ye Yuan lightly tapped his toes, his figure instantly turning into a blur as he lunged at one of the assassins.

The assassin wore a contemptuous expression, suddenly erupting with World Force to intimidate Ye Yuan.

The other three watched the scene leisurely, waiting to see Ye Yuan make a fool of himself.

The orders only said not to kill Ye Yuan, not that they couldn't injure him.

Since he was asking for a beating, no one else was to blame.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Yuan arrived.

He raised his hand and threw a straightforward punch, looking like an ordinary mortal brawling.

Bang!

The assassin's World Domain was directly dented inward, and he flew out like a cannonball.

Wow!

The assassin hit the ground, spitting out a large mouthful of blood.

The other four's pupils contracted sharply, staring in shock, their faces full of disbelief.

"Six-Transformation Golden Body! He's actually a body cultivator! No, even a Six-Transformation Golden Body couldn't be this strong! Could it be... could it be... a Perfect Six-Transformation Golden Body?" Luxin stared at Ye Yuan, horrified.
