Chapter 2181: Get Out of the Way!

"What? Disappeared?"

Ye Yuan shot to his feet, his eyes blazing with fury.

A terrifying aura surged upward, nearly overturning the entire hall.

He had endured countless hardships to stand here, before the Fallen Maple Heavenly Emperor, only to be told that Li'er had vanished!

This outcome was hard for him to accept.

Fallen Maple and Jun Mingxin were secretly startled at the sight.

Especially Jun Mingxin, who now realized that Ye Yuan had not been going all out against Lin Changqing earlier!

A mere Second Heaven Celestial Lord could wield such power.

"Sub-Saint, please calm down and let me finish," Fallen Maple said slowly.

Ye Yuan suppressed his anger and said in a low voice, "Speak!"

Fallen Maple slowly rose and said, "Follow me!"

With a sweep of his sleeve, he brought Ye Yuan into a room.

As soon as they entered, a pungent, foul odor assailed their nostrils.

Ye Yuan frowned and saw a person lying on a bed.

The person's body was completely decayed, riddled with holes, like a rotting corpse.

Ye Yuan took one look and saw that the person was barely breathing, clinging to life by a thread.

Beside him, a gaunt old man was spraying dew onto his body, oblivious to their arrival.

Ye Yuan looked at Fallen Maple, waiting for an explanation.

"His name is Zhuo Yuanzhi, my disciple. Ten years ago, the Angry Nether River broke, the Black Flame Cave emerged, and hundreds of cities around turned into dead cities. Everyone said it was a Heavenly Emperor's cave, attracting countless experts. The seven Heavenly Emperor dojos around the Black Flame Cave sent people to investigate, but... none came out! Over a hundred Celestial Lords are missing in there!" Fallen Maple sighed.

"Just a year ago, several people suddenly escaped from the Black Flame Cave, and Junior Brother Yuanzhi was one of them. But after returning to the Fallen Maple Dojo, he fell into a coma. For the past year, Uncle Tan Yi has tried every means but couldn't stop Yuanzhi's decay. At this rate, he probably won't last another month," Jun Mingxin added.

Ye Yuan frowned and said with displeasure, "With so many Heavenly Emperors in your dojo, why send a bunch of Celestial Lords to their deaths?"

Jun Mingxin smiled bitterly. "It's not that we're unwilling, but the entrance to the Black Flame Cave is extremely unstable. Even a Heavenly Emperor, let alone a late-stage Celestial Lord, would cause the entrance to collapse instantly if they tried to enter! Then there would be no hope at all."

He paused and continued, "Don't doubt anything. Over the years, Master has always treated Junior Sister Mengli specially. Her cultivation resources even made many junior brothers envious. But she's the little junior sister, pretty, so no one bothered her about it. For this mission, Junior Sister Mengli volunteered, but no one expected this to happen."

Hearing this, Ye Yuan finally calmed down a little.

He looked at Zhuo Yuanzhi and said in a low voice, "So the key lies with him?"

Fallen Maple nodded slightly. "If Yuanzhi can wake up, he should be able to tell us what happened in the Black Flame Cave."

Without another word, Ye Yuan went to Tan Yi's side and said in a low voice, "Get out of the way!"

Tan Yi frowned and said with displeasure, "Where did this brat come from, daring to speak to me like that?"

This Tan Yi was Fallen Maple's junior brother, a super existence as an Eight-Star Divine Alchemist!

For such an expert to be ordered around by Ye Yuan, how could he not be angry?

But Ye Yuan couldn't be bothered to waste words with him now. He said in a low voice, "Zhengyi Jade Dew can indeed revive the dead and regrow bones, but your medicine doesn't match the illness. If you keep this up, he'll die!"

Being so mercilessly criticized by a junior, Tan Yi's beard bristled with anger.

However, the fact that Ye Yuan could recognize Zhengyi Jade Dew at a glance still surprised him slightly, making him realize that Ye Yuan was a practitioner with extraordinary attainments in the Dao of Alchemy.

But this kid's arrogance really pissed him off.

He snorted coldly, "Youngster, this emperor has lived for so many years and has never seen such a strange poison! This True One Jade Illusion Dew is already the best formula! Could you possibly have a better choice?"

Ye Yuan said indifferently, "So, please step aside!"

Tan Yi almost choked on his breath and was about to explode when Luo Feng said, "Junior brother, this is the sub-sage of the Priest Temple of the demon race, unmatched in alchemy! Perhaps... he might be able to save Yuanzhi?"

Tan Yi's pupils contracted, and he began to scrutinize Ye Yuan seriously.

He had never heard of the sub-sage, but the Priest Temple was renowned.

This kid is the number one under the Saint Ancestor High Priest?

How is that possible?

"Sub-sage? Hmph, this emperor would like to see what the sub-sage of the Priest Temple is made of!" Tan Yi sneered.

Ye Yuan's mind was not on him at all; he only said calmly, "Just watch."

Ye Yuan went to the bedside and sent a wisp of chaotic divine essence into Zhuo Yuanzhi's body.

This wisp of divine essence patrolled back and forth inside Zhuo Yuanzhi's body five times, but found no trace of the problem.

He only felt that Zhuo Yuanzhi's bodily functions were rapidly declining, and an irresistible corrosive aura was leaking from every pore of his body.

Ye Yuan's brow furrowed tighter and tighter.

Tan Yi sneered at the sight, "Kid, even if you are some damn sub-sage, you underestimate an eight-star alchemy god! I have examined Yuanzhi's body no less than twenty times, but found nothing! It's neither corpse poison nor any kind of poison; it's as if he's rotting out of nowhere. Have you also discovered this?"

A flicker of disappointment also passed through Luo Feng's eyes.

He had felt some hope upon hearing that Ye Yuan was a sub-sage.

Unexpectedly, that didn't work either.

Ye Yuan couldn't be bothered to respond to Tan Yi's mockery. His hand seals suddenly shifted, and the room transformed into a sea of stars.

Chaotic Heavenly Star Art!

Tan Yi's pupils contracted. He immediately realized that Ye Yuan's alchemy technique was extraordinary.

Profound as the sea!

That was Tan Yi's impression.

Ye Yuan moved like lightning, channeling streams of chaotic divine essence into Zhuo Yuanzhi's body.

Zhuo Yuanzhi's body slowly floated in the air, emitting a faint silver glow.

Witnessing this, the three Heavenly Emperor powerhouses in the room turned their heads in astonishment, their hearts filled with awe.

Was this the strength of a sub-sage?

In truth, when Luo Feng first met Ye Yuan, he had felt that he was too young to be reliable.

After all, being called a sub-sage at such an age was too incredible.

But now, all his doubts were gone!

What Ye Yuan revealed was a profound understanding of the 'Dao.'

"At such a young age, he has already comprehended his own 'Dao'! This kid is truly a freak!" Tan Yi exclaimed involuntarily.

Just then, a sharp glint flashed in Ye Yuan's eyes. He sneered, "What a cunning thing, hiding here after all! Come out!"

Ye Yuan struck out with his palm, aiming directly at Zhuo Yuanzhi's skull.

Tan Yi and the others were greatly alarmed and were about to stop him when a dark object suddenly shot out!
