Chapter 2019: Fortunately, You Recognize It

Commander Gan didn't even glance at the token in Ye Yuan's hand, just snorted coldly: "No matter what it is, it's useless. This commander only recognizes the Cloud Dan invitation."

"Haha, do you think the Cloud Dan Grand Assembly is just any place? Bringing some random token and thinking you can get in? What a bumpkin!" Zheng Qian said disdainfully.

"The Cloud Dan Assembly only recognizes invitations, nothing else. You don't even know that basic fact, and you dare to attend?" Zheng Buqun sneered.

They were thoroughly amused today.

At this moment, Ye Yuan appeared before them as a complete country bumpkin who had never seen the world.

This guy knew nothing about the Cloud Dan Assembly, yet he came to show off in front of them, these geniuses of alchemy, adding to the pile of jokes.

Seeing their reactions, Ye Yuan was taken aback.

He looked at the Grandmaster Token in his hand, feeling bewildered.

It seemed this thing wasn't very useful!

He had thought it was something impressive, but when he took it out, they simply didn't recognize it.

"Kid, it seems you really want me to take action!"

In Commander Gan's eyes, Ye Yuan was just a brat playing tricks, trying to steal the spotlight.

He released his aura and directly grabbed at Ye Yuan.

The aura of a True God Fifth Layer burst forth, locking onto Ye Yuan.

Zheng Qian and the others wore expressions of schadenfreude, watching the scene leisurely.

Ye Yuan frowned. Commander Gan's attack was heavy; if he weren't strong enough, he would be severely injured.

Clearly, this guy was currying favor with those aristocratic youths by going all out.

Ye Yuan snorted coldly and suddenly struck out with a Seal of Life and Death.

True God Fifth Layer against True God Third Layer—Commander Gan thought it was an easy catch.

But unexpectedly, as Ye Yuan made his move, a overwhelming pressure surged forth.

Boom!

Caught off guard, Commander Gan was sent flying by the Seal of Life and Death, looking extremely disheveled.

Zheng Buqun's pupils contracted, and he exclaimed in shock: "This... how is this possible?"

The young man surnamed Duan also cried out: "How can this kid's strength be so formidable?"

They had all expected Ye Yuan to suffer, but instead, Ye Yuan was unharmed and casually crippled Commander Gan with a single move.

A True God initial stage defeating a True God mid stage with one move—such a thing was too shocking.

Ye Yuan looked too unremarkable; at just over a thousand years old, how strong could he be?

Yet, he had disabled Commander Gan with a single move!

"What... what are you standing there for? This kid dares to cause trouble—cripple him!" Commander Gan gritted his teeth and shouted at the soldiers.

Instantly, a large group of guards surged forward, surrounding Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan frowned slightly. He hadn't expected to cause such a commotion; who knew these guys wouldn't even recognize the Grandmaster Token?

Actually, it wasn't Commander Gan's fault. How could someone like him have seen a Grandmaster Token before?

After all, in the entire Southern Border, there were only fourteen Grandmaster Tokens.

Those who possessed a Grandmaster Token were people of extremely high status, at least mid to late stage Heavenly Sovereign super experts.

When such people appeared in Cloud Dan Grand Capital, Heavenly Sovereign experts would immediately come out to welcome them; they wouldn't swagger in through the city gates like this.

Ye Yuan, unaware of this, just wanted to stroll around the city, not expecting to cause so many misunderstandings.

But at this point, Ye Yuan naturally wouldn't hold back.

Most of these guards were at the Heavenly God realm, with some at True God realm, but they were no match for Ye Yuan. In a few moves, he took them all down.

Zheng Qian's face turned extremely ugly: "How can this guy be so strong?"

Ye Yuan was about the same age as him, but his combat power was several levels higher.

In the entire Southern Border, few could surpass Ye Yuan in martial arts.

Zheng Buqun, however, chuckled: "This kid is digging his own grave!"

Zheng Qian was startled: "Why?"

Zheng Buqun laughed: "Originally, he came to swindle, and a beating and expulsion would have sufficed. But now he's caused such a big scene; someone will soon come to deal with him. What use is his strength? Can it surpass a True God Ninth Layer expert?"

Zheng Qian immediately caught on and laughed loudly: "Haha, this kid is doomed!"

"Who dares to cause trouble in my Cloud Dan Grand Capital?"

Before the words faded, a voice approached from afar, arriving in an instant.

A burly man with a beard appeared before Ye Yuan, looking hostile.

Seeing the burly man, Commander Gan acted as if he had found a lifeline, quickly saying: "Lord Qin Chong, this kid has no invitation. I tried to expel him, but he not only refused to leave but also severely injured me and the soldiers!"

Qin Chong was hot-tempered, and upon hearing Commander Gan's words, he flew into a rage.

"What? Damn brat, how dare you—" Qin Chong roared in anger.

Zheng Buqun and the young man surnamed Duan saw Qin Chong's fury and wore expressions of schadenfreude.

Qin Chong was a True God Ninth Layer expert; no matter how extraordinary Ye Yuan was, could he possibly deal with him?

But just as Qin Chong was about to explode, he suddenly turned to look at Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan slowly pulled out a token and said calmly: "I showed this to them, but they didn't recognize it. I wonder... do you recognize it?"

Ye Yuan asked tentatively; if Qin Chong didn't recognize it either, he would have to flee.

Zheng Buqun sneered: "Still bringing out that broken token—is this kid really an idiot?"

Fortunately, Qin Chong's reaction put Ye Yuan at ease.

The moment Qin Chong saw the token, his eyes widened like saucers.

He looked at the token, then at Ye Yuan, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"This... this..." Qin Chong stammered, unable to speak.

How could a Grandmaster Token be in the hands of such a young man?

Commander Gan, oblivious, urged: "Lord Qin Chong, what's wrong? This kid is too insolent; you can't let him off easily!"

Slap!

A crisp sound of a slap rang out, and Commander Gan was sent flying.

This slap stunned everyone.

Before they could understand what was happening, Qin Chong roared: "You bastard! If you want to die, don't drag me down with you! And you lot, are you in a hurry to reincarnate? All of you, put away your weapons!"

The guards looked at each other, utterly confused.

Suddenly, Qin Chong knelt down with a thud, clasped his hands towards Ye Yuan, and said: "These bastards are ignorant; please don't take offense, my lord! When I get back, I'll deal with them properly!"

"This... what's going on? Lord Qin Chong is kneeling to a True God Third Layer?"

"Who exactly is this kid?"

"That token... is it something powerful?"

...

Around them, exclamations arose, all bewildered by Qin Chong's actions.

Ye Yuan put away the token, let out a long sigh of relief, and smiled: "Fortunately, you recognize it; otherwise, it would have been quite troublesome."
