Chapter 2015: The Overbearing Heavenly Sovereign

"Although I don't know what that Grandmaster Token is, Lord Ye Yuan seems very impressive."

"Impressive? He's the Flowing Feather Heavenly Sovereign! The Flowing Feather Heavenly Sovereign treats our lord as an equal!"

"Hehe, I think it won't be long before the Eagle Emperor City becomes the eighth top sacred land of alchemy in the Southern Domain."

…

Now, in the Eagle Emperor City, there were quite a few Four-Star and Five-Star Divine Alchemists, so they were naturally familiar with the Flowing Feather Heavenly Sovereign.

When the Flowing Feather Heavenly Sovereign appeared, they were all astonished.

But what followed amazed them even more.

The Flowing Feather Heavenly Sovereign spoke to Ye Yuan as an equal—what an honor!

After all, even ordinary Heavenly Sovereigns received little courtesy from the Flowing Feather Heavenly Sovereign.

Today, the Eagle Emperor City was completely ablaze.

This sense of honor was thoroughly rooted in their blood.

Ye Yuan examined the Grandmaster Token for a moment, then spread his hands and said, "Senior Flowing Feather, I would love to go, but look... given the current situation, I can't leave."

Everyone's gaze instantly focused on Cang Yuan, whose face turned extremely ugly.

At that moment, the silent Jian Sitao suddenly waved his hand at Cang Yuan and said, "You're no longer needed here. You may leave."

Cang Yuan's expression changed. "Sutao Heavenly Sovereign, though you are highly esteemed, don't forget this is Lord Jiyou's territory! You are going too far!"

As a mid-stage Heavenly Sovereign, Cang Yuan had always been lofty and proud.

But today, he felt unprecedented humiliation.

Above a small imperial city!

This was clearly the territory of the Jiyou Heavenly Emperor, yet he was being ordered around.

However, Jian Sitao was not one to be reasoned with.

He snorted coldly and suddenly swept his sleeve, sending a mountain-crushing force toward Cang Yuan.

Cang Yuan's expression shifted, and he immediately raised his hands to defend.

But upon contact with that force, Cang Yuan's world domain and techniques instantly crumbled.

Boom!

Cang Yuan's figure flew backward, his chest stained with blood.

"Hmph! Who do you think you are to speak to me like that? Even Jiyou himself shows me some respect. If this weren't his territory, do you think you'd still be standing here alive?" Jian Sitao snorted coldly.

Lü Yan, Deng Yunzai, and Dai Chunhao dared not even breathe loudly.

A late-stage Heavenly Sovereign was far too powerful!

Even Cang Yuan couldn't withstand a casual strike from Jian Sitao.

If they stepped forward, a single breath from him would blow them to death.

Cang Yuan's face was pale, clearly severely injured.

Jian Sitao said calmly, "The Flowing Feather and I have already visited Jiyou. From now on, the Eagle Emperor City is Ye Yuan's territory. Anyone who comes here to cause trouble is an enemy of mine. Weigh your options carefully! Now, get lost!"

Cang Yuan and the others were shocked. They hadn't expected Jian Sitao and the Flowing Feather Heavenly Sovereign to seek out the Jiyou Heavenly Emperor for the sake of a mere Ye Yuan!

Was this kid really that formidable?

At this moment, staying any longer would only invite more trouble.

Cang Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go!"

With that, the void rippled, and Cang Yuan's figure vanished.

Lü Yan and the other two dared not linger and immediately fled into the void.

Once they left, the city erupted in cheers that shook the heavens.

Today's battle was incredibly satisfying!

Even those proud rulers of the Imperial Capitals and Dao Fields could do nothing to them.

And from now on, the Eagle Emperor City would be a truly independent kingdom.

With a ruler like Ye Yuan, who loved his people as his own children, how could they not cheer?

Seeing the reaction of the city's warriors, even super experts like Jian Sitao and the Flowing Feather Heavenly Sovereign were astonished.

They hadn't expected Ye Yuan's prestige in this imperial city to be so high.

The heartfelt cheers of those warriors could not be faked.

They genuinely supported Ye Yuan, not just perfunctorily.

Such a scene was rarely seen in other cities.

Ye Yuan cupped his hands to the group of Heavenly Sovereigns and said, "Seniors, you have traveled countless miles to help me. I am deeply grateful. If there is ever anything I can do for you, please don't hesitate to ask. I will not refuse."

Chaoyuan Heavenly Sovereign chuckled, "Brother Ye Yuan is too formal! I heard from Song Yu that you risked your life to protect them in the Ancient God Battlefield. Otherwise, they would have perished. More importantly, that kid actually broke through to the Imperial Aura. For that alone, I had to come!"

"Indeed! I thought Guo Jingyang would at most reach the peak of the Imperial Aura, but who knew he'd directly break through to the Imperial Aura? Haha..." Wufeng Heavenly Sovereign laughed heartily.

Though the Heavenly Sovereigns spoke modestly, they were overjoyed inside.

Coming out this time to befriend such a monstrous alchemy grandmaster was well worth it.

Even though they were Heavenly Sovereigns, like the Heavenly Emperors, they still needed sixth-grade divine pills!

More importantly, given Ye Yuan's terrifying talent and the Flowing Feather Heavenly Sovereign treating him as an equal, just how formidable was his alchemy?

In the future, once he broke through to the Heavenly Sovereign realm, wouldn't he surely become a Seven-Star Divine Alchemist?

Befriending such an existence was a blessing to be sought.

Otherwise, why would those Heavenly Emperors show face to the Flowing Feather Heavenly Sovereign?

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Seniors, you're too kind. In a place like the Ancient God Battlefield, mutual support is only natural. If you don't mind the humble Eagle Emperor City, why not come to the City Lord's Mansion for a drink before you leave?"

Chaoyuan Heavenly Sovereign laughed, "Though the city is small, it houses a great Buddha like you! Everyone, shall we go for a visit?"

Tianxiao Heavenly Sovereign smiled, "Naturally! Master Ye Yuan's wine is no ordinary brew. How could I miss it?"

Seeing their lord on brotherly terms with these Heavenly Sovereigns, the city's warriors felt even prouder.

Ye Yuan smiled and said to Bai Tong, "Brother Bai, please take the seniors to the City Lord's Mansion and let them taste my treasured Dreamlike Wine."

Bai Tong nodded slightly and said to the group, "Seniors, please follow me."

After they left, only Ye Yuan, Jian Sitao, and the Flowing Feather Heavenly Sovereign remained outside the city.

Jian Sitao looked at Ye Yuan and said calmly, "This time, I've repaid my debt to you, haven't I?"

Ye Yuan was also quite surprised by Jian Sitao's appearance.

He had thought Jian Sitao held a deep grudge against him, but unexpectedly, he had personally sought out the Jiyou Heavenly Emperor.

From now on, the Eagle Emperor City would have no more worries.

"Heh, Senior, what are you saying? I acknowledge this favor," Ye Yuan said with a cupped fist salute.

Ye Yuan had always been clear about gratitude and grudges. Last time, Jian Sitao had indeed gone too far.

But after all, he was Jian Hongxiao's father-in-law, so Ye Yuan naturally wouldn't hold it against him.

This time, Jian Sitao had indeed been a great help.

Ye Yuan naturally acknowledged this debt of gratitude.
