Chapter 2266: Insulting the Divine Clan, Claiming They Have No One!

A slap in the face!

A barefaced slap in the face!

Ye Yuan, in front of a crowd of Divine Clan Eight-Pattern Dao Realm experts, had slapped them hard.

The Divine Clan were all immensely proud, looking down on no other race.

But now, a human they despised had crossed a major realm to defeat a Divine Clan expert.

What could be more ironic than that?

Rufeng's expression was grim. Suppressing his anger, he said, "Young friend, no matter how extraordinary you are, you're only at the Heavenly Sovereign Realm! In my Divine Clan, you have no right to act recklessly!"

Ye Yuan glanced at him sideways and sneered, "You're one of the Hidden Clan's Nine Elders, right? Don't play games with me! I've fought your kind before, and I beat one of you down a whole major realm, nearly killing him."

Ye Yuan was not one to flaunt his power, but his mind was in turmoil now, with a belly full of pent-up fury needing an outlet.

The Divine Clan was the perfect outlet.

Moreover, what he said was true.

Even the Nine Elders—what right did they have to act superior before him?

When he fought Yuan Jiu, Yuan Jiu was at his peak, yet Ye Yuan had beaten him down a whole major realm.

Now, Ye Yuan's strength was many times greater than back then. Even if it meant severely damaging his small world, he could still kill Rufeng.

Rufeng, of such exalted status, had never been spoken to like this before.

He snorted angrily, "Boy, think before you boast! If not for the Divine Maiden, you'd be dead by now! Someone, bring that imprisoned human here!"

"No need. I'll go myself," Ye Yuan said coldly.

Rufeng said coldly, "No! The Hidden Clan's sacred ground—how can I allow a human like you to defile it?"

Ye Yuan said indifferently, "That's not for you to decide."

Rufeng fumed, his beard bristling with anger. "Boy, don't be so arrogant! Do you think the Divine Clan has no alchemists?"

Ye Yuan said disdainfully, "I'll give you a chance. Take Rong Xiyue to detoxify her, and I'll go see Ning Tianping. If you can cure Rong Xiyue's poison, then my brother and I will stay here without complaint."

Arrogant!

Contemptuous!

Ye Yuan was insulting the Divine Clan, claiming they had no one!

Rufeng sneered, "Ignorant madman! Today, I'll make you submit willingly! Kongming, take this boy to see that human. I'll take the Divine Maiden to detoxify her."

Kongming bowed, "Yes, Third Elder!"

Rong Xiyue looked at Ye Yuan in surprise, wondering why he had suddenly changed so drastically.

She could sense that Ye Yuan was extremely hostile toward the Divine Clan.

Moreover, he had fought with Divine Clan experts before.

Could it be that someone close to him had died at the hands of the Divine Clan?

Watching Ye Yuan leave, Rufeng said to Rong Xiyue, "This boy's arrogance is even greater than his strength! I haven't felt the urge to kill in many years, but today is the first time!"

Rong Xiyue smiled bitterly, "He wasn't like this before. I don't know why he suddenly became this way!"

Rufeng waved his hand, "It doesn't matter. He's as good as dead anyway. Come, follow me to detoxify."

With that, Rufeng led Rong Xiyue back into the clan.

The Divine Clan also had many powerful alchemists. Logically, Rong Xiyue should have been confident.

But for some reason, she felt it wouldn't be so easy.

Ye Yuan dared to follow her here, which meant he was very confident in his poison.

Was Ye Yuan's alchemy skill really superior to those Eight-Pattern experts in the clan?

……

The Hidden Clan's medicine hut was ordinarily where the clan's alchemy masters researched pills.

The Divine Clan's alchemy was unique, but since most of its members came from various clans, the essence of alchemy was largely the same.

At this moment, in the medicine hut, many eight-star Divine Alchemists of the Hidden Clan had gathered, intending to detoxify Rong Xiyue.

Although Ye Yuan appeared arrogant, his strength was evident, and Rufeng dared not underestimate him.

Thus, he had summoned the Hidden Clan's alchemy masters.

"Linyi, you are the most skilled at detoxification. Please take a look at the Divine Maiden," Rufeng said to an elder.

The elder nodded slightly and said disdainfully, "Leave it to me! A mere human at the Heavenly Sovereign realm—what potent poison could he concoct? Third Elder, I think you can go execute that brat right now! I've heard he's insufferably arrogant."

Rufeng frowned and said, "Let's examine her first. The Divine Maiden says this young man is formidable; we should be cautious."

Linyi, with a look of disdain, placed his fingers on Rong Xiyue's wrist and began to diagnose her pulse.

Everyone fell silent, their eyes fixed on Linyi.

Linyi's face initially bore an expression of contempt.

But gradually, without even noticing it himself, his contempt faded, replaced by a look of gravity.

Later, his brow furrowed tighter and tighter, forming an inverted V.

The mood of those around him grew increasingly tense along with his frown.

"How can this be? How can this be?" Linyi shook his head repeatedly.

Seeing Linyi withdraw his hand, Rufeng asked, though he knew it was hopeless.

"What is it?"

Linyi shook his head and said, "This poison is extremely potent. I... cannot cure it! The poison has merged with the Divine Maiden's flesh; unless she abandons her body, there is no solution!"

At this, another elder sat down and said incredulously, "Ridiculous! Is there really a poison in this world that cannot be cured? No matter how potent the poison, there is always an antidote!"

With that, he began to diagnose Rong Xiyue as well.

Seeing this, Linyi said, "Zhaocheng's medical skills are formidable; perhaps he has a way."

Rufeng nodded and could only wait for Zhaocheng's diagnosis.

But the change in his expression was almost identical to Linyi's.

In the end, he let out a long sigh and shook his head, saying, "This poison, I cannot cure!"

Rufeng, unwilling to give up, had each alchemy master diagnose the Divine Maiden in turn.

But the final outcome was the same.

They were all at a loss regarding this poison.

At first, Rufeng had been full of confidence, but later he finally understood how terrifying this poison was.

A poison concocted by a human Heavenly Sovereign—none in the entire Hidden Vein could cure it!

He had boasted confidently in front of Ye Yuan, only to be slapped in the face moments later.

Rong Xiyue's expression also dimmed, but compared to the others, she had long been mentally prepared.

Having them examine her was merely seeking psychological comfort.

She knew that Ye Yuan's pills had been bid up to astronomical prices in the Southern Realm, even higher than the price of Emperor-tier spiritual treasures!

Even eight-tier divine pills were not as valuable as Ye Yuan's pills.

How could a poison concocted by such an alchemy master be easily cured?

If it were easy to cure, would Ye Yuan be foolish enough to willingly come to the Hidden Clan with her?

Rufeng's face was ashen. The thought of Ye Yuan's gloating expression nearly made him vomit blood.

He had gathered the clan's alchemy masters to try to humiliate Ye Yuan.

Who would have thought that in the end, he would be the one slapped resoundingly!
