Chapter 2721: Return to Tiannan!

"What? He... he is Master Ye?"

"Are you kidding me! A lower-rank Jade Emperor Heaven, who made six Saint Venerables and helped Bull Demon Saint Venerable break through?"

"But who else could it be, to make the six Saint Venerables so respectful?"

"I imagined ten thousand possibilities, but never that the one who helped the six Saint Venerables break through was a lower-rank Jade Emperor Heaven!"

...

The actions of the six Saint Venerables caused an uproar throughout the Ten Thousand Spirits Assembly.

Before this, the outside world had many speculations.

But no matter what, no one could have expected that the instigator of it all was a lower-rank Jade Emperor Heaven!

Not that Jade Emperor Heaven was weak, but the step from Jade Emperor Heaven to Saint Emperor Heaven was itself extremely difficult.

How could he enable so many powerhouses to break through?

Yet the reaction of the six Saint Venerables told them plainly: it was Ye Yuan!

If it were a joke, it would be too big a joke!

How noble was the status of a Saint Venerable?

Even if Bull Demon Saint Venerable ordered it, it was unlikely that the six Saint Venerables would cooperate in putting on an act.

The Giant Ape and the other were dumbfounded.

Bull Demon Saint Venerable laughed loudly: "Hahaha, I knew you'd have that expression! You don't know, when I first saw Brother Ye's methods, my expression was exactly the same as yours!"

"But... but how is this possible?" Giant Ape Saint Venerable still couldn't believe it.

"Nothing is impossible! Brother Ye's methods are beyond your imagination!" Bull Demon Saint Venerable laughed.

Over there, Ye Yuan saw the six and smiled: "You've all broken through; I've fulfilled my promise from back then!"

Hu Ben said with trepidation: "We were blind and nearly harmed Master Ye's life; a grave sin, a grave sin!"

Ye Yuan waved his hand: "Who could resist the opportunity of Saint Emperor Heaven? That matter, I don't blame you."

Although the six had broken through to Saint Emperor Heaven, their respect for Ye Yuan had only increased.

First, Ye Yuan had returned good for evil, and the Qiong Yao Heaven Saint Pills he gave them were of extremely high quality, without any skimping.

Second, they now knew that Saint Emperor Heaven faced the Saint Emperor Dao Tribulation.

In the future, they would rely on Ye Yuan for many things.

This was also why Heavenly Alchemists were revered by the world.

"Brother Ye has arrived just in time; I'll announce it now! I will unashamedly take the position of Hall Master of the All Saints Hall! Brother Ye will be the Honorary Hall Master of the All Saints Hall, with all rights equal to mine!"

Bull Demon Saint Venerable personally came down to welcome Ye Yuan, grabbed his wrist, and pulled him to sit beside him.

Ye Yuan was also bewildered, but it sounded like a good deal.

Naturally, no one dared to object.

The Ten Thousand Spirits Assembly ended, and as the myriad true spirits dispersed, Giant Ape Saint Venerable could no longer hold back.

"Brother Ye, I've prepared a small gift; please accept it." Giant Ape took out a spatial bracelet and handed it to Ye Yuan with a smile.

"Brother Ye, this contains almost all my possessions! If you find it acceptable, I'd like to ask for a heavenly pill!" Peng was not to be outdone.

These two had really gone all out to get Ye Yuan's heavenly pills.

Ye Yuan smiled and pushed the gifts back, saying: "Two Saint Venerables, I don't want your things!"

Hearing this, their expressions changed drastically.

"Brother Ye, what Old Bull can give you, we can give too! Why is this?" Giant Ape Saint Venerable asked, puzzled.

His gift was prepared according to the standards of a fifth-rank Heavenly Alchemist.

For Ye Yuan, a Jade Emperor Heaven, it should have been more than attractive.

But who knew Ye Yuan wouldn't even look at it!

Ye Yuan smiled: "I can refine heavenly pills for you, and I don't want your gifts. I only ask that you owe me a favor! When I need your help, you must lend me a hand once!"

Even a fool knew that this favor would not be easy to repay!

But no matter how hard to repay, it was better than dying under the Dao Tribulation!

So the two agreed without hesitation.

Having obtained Ye Yuan's promise, Giant Ape and the other didn't want to stay a moment longer and immediately took their leave.

Time was cultivation!

"Brother Ye, what are your plans next?" Bull Demon Saint Venerable asked.

Ye Yuan said: "I plan to return to Tiannan first, then set off back to the Five Great Heavenly Domains."

Bull Demon Saint Venerable nodded: "Mm, if you need any help from your big brother, just say the word! Your business is my business!"

He wasn't stupid; Ye Yuan had rejected the lavish gifts of Giant Ape and the other in exchange for only a favor.

He must be carrying a heavy burden!

Ye Yuan didn't stand on ceremony either and smiled: "Big brother, rest assured, I won't be polite!"

Having spent time together, Ye Yuan had some understanding of Bull Demon Saint Venerable's temperament.

Although he was extremely powerful, he was straightforward and not eccentric, making him easy to get along with.

Ye Yuan had done him a great favor, so he naturally wouldn't stand idly by.

Hu Ben spoke: "Since Master Ye is returning to Tiannan, the five of us will go along too! After all, we committed many killings in Tiannan; this time we can go and apologize!"

Ye Yuan naturally had no reason to refuse this request.

He had to give an account for the innocent lives lost in Tiannan.

A few days later, Ye Yuan, along with the five Saint Venerables, set off on the journey back to Tiannan.

...

In a deep mountain on the edge of Tiannan, suddenly, a shocking aura shot into the sky.

The terrifying pressure scattered birds and beasts in all directions.

Above the void, heavenly phenomena descended, a sign of breaking through to Saint Emperor Heaven!

Half a month later, a figure shot into the sky and burst into wild laughter!

The laughter shook heaven and earth.

"Hahaha... I, Meng Hanfeng, have finally taken this step! This is Saint Emperor Heaven, such wondrous power! I feel that with a wave of my hand, I am the Dao! Hu Ben, you five beasts, you chased me until I had no way to heaven and no door to earth! Today, I have entered Saint Emperor Heaven, and I will make you pay with blood!"

This powerhouse who broke through to Saint Emperor Heaven was none other than Meng Hanfeng, the Tiannan City Lord who had used despicable means to trick the five half-step Saint Emperor Heavens and escaped!

He took the Saint Fate Pill and, after fifty years of secluded bitter cultivation, finally achieved sudden enlightenment and stepped into the coveted Saint Emperor Heaven!

In fact, he knew that the five half-step Saint Emperor Heavens had led an army to massacre Tiannan.

At that time, he had not yet found a place for seclusion and was wandering the lands of Tiannan.

But he did not show himself; instead, he let the blood flow like rivers in Tiannan!

His plan was to take revenge on the five after breaking through to Saint Emperor Heaven!

Meng Hanfeng's gaze turned toward the direction of Tiannan City, and he said solemnly: "Fifty years have passed; I wonder how many remain in Tiannan City! Now that I am a Saint Emperor, it is not too late to regroup! First, I will reclaim the lands of Tiannan, then march north and make those bastards taste what it's like to be bloodwashed!"

With that thought, he lingered no longer; his figure flickered and vanished into the sky.
