Chapter 2008: Have You Lost Your Mind?

"Nonsense!"

These two words were practically ground out between Lü Yan's teeth.

Deng Yunzai and Dai Chunhao's eyes were wide with disbelief, and they stood frozen as if struck by lightning.

This news was truly too shocking.

Lü Yan pointed at the black-armored soldier's nose and roared, "A mere imperial city, with the strongest at most at the fourth level of the True God realm, I sent a hundred thousand troops, over a dozen of them at the ninth level of the True God realm—how could they have been completely annihilated? Did you come to report without using your brain?"

Lü Yan's roar nearly shook the roof down.

Under Lü Yan's immense pressure, the black-armored soldier almost collapsed to the ground, unable to speak.

How could a mere soldier withstand the might of a Heavenly Sovereign?

At that moment, Deng Yunzai was the first to come to his senses. He quickly pulled Lü Yan back and said, "Brother Lü, calm down. Let him finish."

Then he said to the black-armored soldier, "Speak quickly! What exactly happened?"

The black-armored soldier dared not delay and recounted in detail how Ye Yuan had poisoned thousands of True God experts.

Lü Yan and the other two listened in stunned disbelief. They never expected such an outcome.

"This... this... how could this be? How could this be?" Lü Yan staggered back several steps, his face full of incredulity.

The black-armored soldier naturally could not lie; it was just that Lü Yan himself was unwilling to believe it.

This news was unbelievable, and he simply refused to accept it.

If so, wouldn't he, the city lord of the Five Emperors' Great Capital, become a commander without an army?

Ye Yuan's move was truly too ruthless!

Now, all the imperial cities under his command had become empty titles.

Without True God realm experts to guard them, how could an imperial city still be called an imperial city?

It had directly dropped a level and become a royal city!

From a great capital directly to a royal city—wouldn't he, the city lord of the great capital, become a laughingstock?

Lü Yan was on the verge of collapse!

Ye Yuan's strike had directly cut the level of his cities in half.

Deng Yunzai and Dai Chunhao were equally dumbfounded. They exchanged glances, seeing the incredulity in each other's eyes.

"The Void Refining Poison Array—such methods are simply unimaginable! What kind of monstrous talent is this kid?" Deng Yunzai said in shock.

"Better to offend three thousand strong enemies than to provoke a single poison master! Who would have thought that this kid's mastery of poison arts would be so astonishing?" Dai Chunhao said bitterly.

The rule of a Heavenly Sovereign had always been as solid as iron.

Unless it was another Heavenly Sovereign, no one could shake it.

But this understanding clearly did not apply to Ye Yuan.

Suddenly, Lü Yan's aura turned icy cold. He gritted his teeth and said, "It seems he's forcing me to act personally! This time, I'll skin him alive, refine his soul, and make sure he suffers eternal damnation!"

...

The Tianying Royal City was filled with jubilation.

"Hey, big brother, in all the time I've known you, I've rarely seen you use poison! This battle was truly satisfying!" Bai Guang said excitedly.

"Master's methods are truly beyond imagination. We should never have doubted you!" Bai Chen also said excitedly.

Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "As alchemists, we may not be compassionate, but we should not create excessive killing. If Lü Yan hadn't pushed me too far, I wouldn't have used this poison array."

As an alchemist, Ye Yuan had his own principles.

But having lived two lives, he was no fool.

When others came to kill him, he naturally would not wait to be slaughtered.

Bai Tong had not yet left the pass, so he could only confront the enemy in this way.

Otherwise, he himself would be the one to die.

In the past few days, Yu Wenfeng had been in a state of extreme shock.

He was already completely convinced by Ye Yuan's unfathomable methods.

But at this moment, he frowned and said, "Master Ye, I don't want to spoil the mood, but... this way, I'm afraid Lord Lv Yan will take action himself! Lord Lv Yan is a great expert at the second level of the Celestial Venerable realm! And the Deng Wei and Dai Yang you killed—their two families' ancestors are both Celestial Venerable experts!"

Ye Yuan just smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Brother Yu, but... three Celestial Venerables are nothing to worry about."

Yu Wenfeng choked, almost unable to catch his breath.

Three Celestial Venerables... nothing?

Celestial Venerables... nothing to worry about?

This... this was the first time he had heard such a statement!

A Celestial Venerable stood at the peak of ordinary martial artists.

Except for those elusive Heavenly Emperor experts, no one dared to take them lightly!

A Celestial Venerable, even at the first level, no one dared to disregard.

Yet three Celestial Venerable experts were so dismissively spoken of by Ye Yuan.

Just then, a terrifying aura instantly spread throughout the entire Tianying Imperial City.

"Ye Yuan, you brat! I'll give you three breaths to roll out here and die! If you delay a moment, I'll turn Tianying to ashes!"

A thunderous roar echoed in every corner of Tianying Imperial City.

The dreadful pressure caused some weaker martial artists to spit blood and collapse.

"A Celestial Venerable! It's... a Celestial Venerable expert!"

"My god, a Celestial Venerable expert has personally come!"

"This... what do we do?"

...

Panic spread through the city; the overwhelming pressure nearly suffocated them.

Yu Wenfeng's face changed, and a look of instinctive fear appeared.

Ye Yuan said calmly, "This Lv Yan is indeed domineering, threatening to destroy the whole city at the drop of a hat. I'll go meet him!"

With that, he moved and vanished from the city lord's mansion.

The others were also shaken and quickly left the mansion to look up at the sky.

Above the void, three figures stood in the air, their terrifying aura making the world tremble.

Ye Yuan's figure materialized, facing them from a distance.

Lv Yan's pupils contracted, clearly surprised by Ye Yuan's spatial law.

But soon, his surprise was replaced by fury.

"Are you Ye Yuan?"

Ye Yuan showed no fear and said calmly, "Yes."

Lv Yan narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Do you know your crimes?"

Ye Yuan raised his eyelids slightly and said flatly, "No."

"You! How dare you! You killed my son Lv Ziyi, poisoned my army of true gods—your crimes are too numerous to record! And you say you don't know?" Lv Yan was provoked by Ye Yuan's attitude and could not help but rage.

Ye Yuan remained calm and said, "Lv Ziyi indiscriminately killed my people, imprisoned my relatives, and wanted to send me to the Five Emperors for execution. Do you mean I should stand here and let her kill me? You sent a hundred thousand troops to massacre the city, saying no one should be left alive. Do you mean I should stand here and let them kill me? Have you lost your mind?"

Ye Yuan's voice spread throughout the city, making everyone's hearts pound.

Lord Ye Yuan indeed lives up to his reputation—these words... are domineering!
