Chapter 2231: Departing with Grace

Just as the two were discussing matters concerning the Shura Blood Pool, someone came knocking.

Upon seeing the visitor, Mad Blade Ghost Venerable respectfully saluted and said, "Lord Ghost Eye!"

This Ghost Eye Venerable was also a ghost-path powerhouse at the late Heavenly Venerate stage, with a pair of pitch-black pupils so deep they seemed capable of bewitching the mind.

Ghost Eye nodded slightly and said, "Wild Blade, Lord Cangming wants you to bring your young master to see him."

Wild Blade Ghost Lord was taken aback and looked at Ye Yuan with a questioning gaze.

Ye Yuan slowly rose and said indifferently, "No need. Pack up and come with me. I'm in a hurry."

He was burning with anxiety now; how could he have the mind to exchange pleasantries with Cangming Heavenly Emperor?

Every moment of delay increased the danger for Wuchen and Mu Lingxue.

In fact, if Wuchen had not been trying to protect Mu Lingxue, he would not have fallen into such a deep slumber.

Without Wuchen's protection at the last moment, Mu Lingxue's final wisp of consciousness would have already dissipated.

During these days in Tianying, Ye Yuan had been suffering every single minute and second.

Now that he had news of the Yinluo Blood Essence, how could he be willing to delay any further?

Ghost Eye Ghost Venerable's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Human, Lord Cangming summons you—do you dare to show disrespect?"

Ye Yuan did not even look at him and said calmly, "Kuángdāo!"

Kuángdāo's expression shifted slightly, and he bowed, saying, "Yes!"

Ghost Dao powerhouses could grow on their own, or they could be nurtured like Kuángdāo.

Any Ghost Dao powerhouse who had signed a contract could not disobey their master's orders.

Ye Yuan's authority was even above that of the Heavenly Emperor!

Ghostpupil Ghost Venerable saw that Ye Yuan completely ignored him and could not help but rage, "Good lad, Lord Cangming deigns to see you because he thinks highly of you! Since you don't appreciate it, don't blame me for being rude!"

Suddenly, the air in the room turned cold.

A gust of cold wind rose from the ground and drilled into Ye Yuan's body.

Ghostpupil Ghost Venerable's eyes suddenly emitted a black light, and a powerful soul force directly invaded Ye Yuan's sea of consciousness.

"Enchanting ghost sound, heed my command! Brat, slap your own face until I tell you to stop!" Ghostpupil directly commanded.

Seeing Ghostpupil Ghost Venerable use his ultimate move right from the start, Wildblade Ghost Venerable's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "Lord Ghostpupil, please show mercy!"

"Hmph!"

Just then, a cold snort came from Ye Yuan's mouth!

With this cold snort, Ye Yuan infused the dragon god's voice of the dragon race.

"Hm!" Ghostpupil let out a muffled groan, actually injured by Ye Yuan's cold snort, and even his body became much more illusory.

Although ghost path experts have no physical form, those who have reached the Ghost Venerable realm are nearly corporeal.

But at this moment, Ghostpupil Ghost Venerable seemed to have been beaten back to his original form.

"This... how is this possible?" Ghostpupil Ghost Venerable looked at Ye Yuan in shock, full of disbelief.

The aura on Ye Yuan's body was not strong, at least much weaker than his.

Against such an opponent, his enchanting ghost sound had never failed. Why did a mere soul shake from Ye Yuan injure him?

Ghostpupil Ghost Venerable was extremely puzzled!

Beside him, Wildblade Ghost Venerable was also deeply shocked.

He knew well how formidable Ghostpupil Ghost Venerable was; even the three Ghost Venerables under Ghost Ridge Heavenly Emperor were extremely wary of him.

This enchanting ghost sound was a great restraint even for same-rank Heavenly Venerables, yet Ye Yuan broke free from it so easily.

Not only did he break free, but he even severely injured Ghostpupil Heavenly Venerable!

How could the young master's strength be so terrifying?

Ye Yuan looked at Ghostpupil Ghost Venerable and said disdainfully, "Even the Medicine Ancestor and the Holy Ancestor High Priest cannot control my will. With your lousy ghost path tricks, you want to control me? Do you know what overestimating yourself means?"

Ghostpupil Ghost Venerable was utterly horrified!

Just now, when Ye Yuan snorted, he indeed felt a willpower as lofty as a mountain bearing down on him.

It was precisely because of this that he was easily shaken and injured.

How could a mere human Heavenly Venerate possess such an overwhelmingly powerful will?

Although Ye Yuan's mention of the Medicine Ancestor and the Holy Ancestor High Priest seemed exaggerated, Ghostpupil Ghost Venerable dared to assert that Ye Yuan's willpower was definitely stronger than Cangming Heavenly Emperor's!

Moreover, it was far stronger!

The shock in his heart was beyond words.

"Wild Blade!" Ye Yuan reminded calmly. Wild Blade Ghost Venerable suddenly snapped out of it and quickly composed himself.

Ye Yuan, with Wild Blade Ghost Venerable in tow, swaggered out of Guanghuai Prefecture.

Just then, an extremely sinister ghostly aura descended from the sky, and an almost solid figure blocked Ye Yuan's path.

The ghostly aura was so condensed that if an ordinary human Heavenly Venerate were there, they would likely be frozen stiff.

Within Yinhuai Prefecture, Ghost Ridge Heavenly Emperor's lips curled into a smile.

"Heh, that fool Cangming probably doesn't know how terrifying this kid is! Making a fool of himself in front of so many people in the city, I wonder how he'll have the face to show up again!"

Regarding the earlier incident, he had imposed a gag order on the strong in his prefecture, absolutely forbidding anyone from speaking of it.

This kid was like a thorn; Ghost Ridge Heavenly Emperor felt he would never be used by Cangming Heavenly Emperor.

Sure enough, in less than half a day, the two sides had fallen out.

Cangming Heavenly Emperor looked at Ye Yuan, his face full of fury, and said, "Human brat, you take away my subordinate without even a greeting, and even severely injure him! What crime do you deserve?"

Wild Blade Ghost Venerable turned ashen and exclaimed, "Lord Cangming, the young master he..."

Ye Yuan gestured for Wild Blade to stop and looked at Cangming calmly, saying, "Mm, since you're here, I'll greet you. Wild Blade will follow me from now on. I'm saying goodbye. Wild Blade, let's go!"

The appearance of a Heavenly Emperor had already alarmed many strong figures in the city. Mosha and his companions happened to be among them.

Seeing this scene, the ghosts' pupils contracted.

This guy, how arrogant!

The one opposite him was a Heavenly Emperor!

"Could this human brat be a fool? That's Cangming Heavenly Emperor, and he's so cocky?"

"Who says so? This time, let's see what he relies on to take Wild Blade Ghost Venerable away from Yinhuai Prefecture!"

"Hehe, I kind of understand! Ghost Ridge Heavenly Emperor probably deliberately didn't show up, letting this kid take Wild Blade away!"

...

Cangming Heavenly Emperor laughed in extreme rage, "Heh heh, what an arrogant brat. Do you really think I dare not make a move against you? Fine, since you're bent on seeking death, I'll send you on your way!"

"Freeze!"

Before Cangming Heavenly Emperor's words faded, Ye Yuan had already activated Time-Space Freeze!

In an instant, the law descended, and Cangming was frozen!

Back when Ye Yuan was only at the early stage of the Seventh Revolution, he could use this move to escape from under the Abyssal Demon Beast Heavenly Emperor Mannya.

Let alone now that he was at the middle stage of the Seventh Revolution.

The current Time-Space Freeze was more than a notch stronger than back then!

"Wild Blade, go!" Ye Yuan grabbed the dumbfounded Wild Blade Ghost Venerable and teleported directly ten thousand miles away.

An instant later, time and space returned to normal, and Cangming Heavenly Emperor's eyes were filled with shock.

"True Word of the Dao, Space Law! What a human brat! It seems Wild Blade has found a good master!"
