Chapter 302: Pushing People Too Far

Wang Fan and Yu Feng led the Shangqing Sect disciples out from the dense forest, wearing mocking expressions, looking as if they had the Youyun Sect completely under their control.

"Didn't expect to meet again so soon. What a coincidence!" Wang Feng sneered.

Mei Zhen snorted coldly and said, "Wang Fan, I advise you not to clash with us. Otherwise, if we fight to the bitter end, you won't come out well either!"

Wang Fan laughed loudly, "Fight to the bitter end? With you lot? Your Youyun Sect even brought out a Liquid Realm seventh-layer disciple to make a fool of yourselves, and you think you're worthy of a fight to the bitter end with our Shangqing Sect? But... this kid, though low in cultivation, is quite strange—he even knows about the Seven-Colored Poison Spider! Not long ago, to collect this Vermilion Lotus Ice Heart Fruit, we lost a Condensation Realm fifth-layer disciple, yet you've come out unscathed!"

Wang Fan had observed the actions of the Youyun Sect members just now.

If Ye Yuan hadn't pulled back that Senior Brother Pang, his fate would have been the same as their disciple's!

The Shangqing Sect had arrived here before the Youyun Sect but lost a Condensation Realm fifth-layer disciple—a heavy loss.

While they were figuring out how to collect the Vermilion Lotus Ice Heart Fruit, they happened to see the Youyun Sect approaching, so they hid, hoping to watch them suffer a major setback.

Just as Senior Brother Pang was about to rush forward, Ye Yuan forcefully pulled him back.

Over the past two days, they had already lost two disciples, a heavy toll.

In contrast, the Youyun Sect looked exactly the same as when they entered, which infuriated Wang Fan.

This psychological gap made Wang Fan dislike Ye Yuan even more!

From what had just happened, this kid was indeed full of strangeness.

"Hmph! Once inside this secret realm, life and death are up to fate! If you lost disciples, you can't blame us, can you?" Mei Zhen snorted.

"Why not blame you? If this kid had given a little warning when we first entered the secret realm, we wouldn't have lost a disciple for nothing! Don't you think we should hold you accountable?"

Mei Zhen was momentarily speechless, but Ye Yuan said, "What obligation do I have to warn you? Even if I had warned you, would you have been grateful? Would you not be causing trouble for me now?"

After these few encounters, Ye Yuan had long seen through Wang Fan's character—utterly unscrupulous and without limits.

Even if he had warned the Shangqing Sect upon entering the secret realm, the situation would still be the same now.

Such people simply don't know what gratitude means!

"Hahaha... I told you, this kid has a hard backbone! You escaped before outside the secret realm, but today no one will mediate, will they?" Wang Fan laughed wildly.

Mei Zhen's expression turned stern, and he said gravely, "Wang Fan! Don't push people too far!"

Wang Fan was unconcerned and said to Mei Zhen, "Mei Zhen, I'll give you a chance. Hand over this kid, and I'll let you leave. Otherwise... none of you will leave!"

In Wang Fan's view, they had two Sea Transformation Realm experts, while the opponent had only Mei Zhen—the gap in strength was too great!

The Youyun Sect didn't stand a chance!

Mei Zhen's cultivation was similar to his, both at Sea Transformation third layer.

As long as he held off Mei Zhen, Yu Feng could freely harvest the rest!

With such a huge disparity, the only way for the Youyun Sect to survive was to hand over Ye Yuan.

...

Wang Fan had no idea that the people they had robbed were now observing everything from not far away.

If Ye Yuan were here, he probably wouldn't recognize that these two women of peerless beauty were the ones he had saved!

Now, where was the slightest trace of ugliness in Li'er and Yan'er?

Not to mention Li'er, even Yan'er, who was a servant, was breathtakingly beautiful.

As for Li'er, words simply couldn't describe her.

If one had to describe her, one could only say, 'Such beauty should only exist in heaven; how often can it be found in the mortal world?'

But at this moment, Ye Yuan knew nothing of this.

"Miss, it looks like a fight is about to break out over there. Should we step in to save Young Master Ye?" Yan'er transmitted her voice.

Li'er shook her head and said, "Let's wait and see."

"Wait and see? Young Master Ye is only at Liquid Realm seventh layer; once a fight starts, he'll be killed instantly!"

Ye Yuan had unhesitatingly handed over the soul secret technique and the eighth-grade pill formula to Li'er, which greatly increased Yan'er's goodwill toward him, truly regarding him as a lifesaver.

So seeing Ye Yuan in danger, she was eager to rescue him.

In fact, with their strength, they didn't need Ye Yuan's rescue at all. On the contrary, Ye Yuan's appearance had actually saved Wang Fan's group.

If Ye Yuan hadn't shown up then, the Shangqing Sect's team would likely have become a meal for the demon beasts in the Yunmeng Mountains by now.

Li'er and Yan'er didn't want to reveal their true strength, so they deliberately disguised themselves as Condensation Realm martial artists.

Even Sea Transformation Realm experts like Wang Fan and Mei Zhen couldn't see through Li'er and Yan'er's strength, which showed how powerful they truly were.

So when Ye Yuan saved the mistress and servant, Li'er was indifferent, but Yan'er was somewhat dismissive.

If anything, she was more curious about how a Liquid Realm martial artist could silently rescue them from a group of Sea Transformation and Condensation Realm martial artists.

But after Ye Yuan noticed Li'er's ailment, Yan'er's opinion completely changed.

"It's fine. If Young Master Ye is truly in danger, I'll step in in time. We have a special identity; we shouldn't act unless absolutely necessary. Besides, I'm curious to see where Young Master Ye's limits lie." Li'er said calmly.

Yan'er was somewhat dismissive: "I know Young Master Ye is special, but a Liquid Realm seventh-layer martial artist, no matter how strong, how far can his limits go?"

Li'er smiled radiantly, stunningly beautiful: "That's not certain. I always feel he's not ordinary."

"Alright, alright! Since that person left, it's rare to see you so interested in something. Do as you please!"

Yan'er realized she had misspoken and playfully stuck out her tongue, looking slightly embarrassed.

A trace of sorrow flashed in Li'er's beautiful eyes, and she shot Yan'er a glare before ignoring her.

...

Mei Zhen glanced at Ye Yuan, then gritted his teeth and said to Wang Fan, "In that case, let's fight to the bitter end!"

Wang Fan was stunned, thinking he had misheard.

He looked at Mei Zhen and the other Youyun Sect disciples and saw that their faces showed determination!

Mei Zhen hadn't even hesitated before deciding to fight?

Although the Shangqing Sect had lost two Condensation Realm disciples, the might of a Sea Transformation Realm expert was not something Condensation Realm martial artists could withstand!

Were these Youyun Sect people all crazy? For a Liquid Realm seventh-layer disciple, they were all willing to risk their lives?

Wang Fan had no idea what Ye Yuan meant to the Youyun Sect!
