Chapter 475: That Young Man Is No Ordinary Fellow!

"You! Do you really dare to imprison Senior Brother for the sake of a mere Huahai realm martial artist?"

Li Junjie found it somewhat unbelievable; Ye Yuan seemed dead set on crossing the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

This was utterly unreasonable!

In the Boundless Realm, someone actually dared to provoke the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

Qin Yan's importance to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect went without saying. If the Nethercloud Sect dared to harm a single hair on Qin Yan's head, they would surely face annihilation.

Had this kid taken the wrong medicine?

Uh... it seemed he had already harmed several hairs.

Ye Yuan said coldly, "A mere Huahai realm? Aren't you also in the Huahai realm? Besides... your Senior Brother may be very important in your eyes, but in my eyes, he's not even worth a fart! Elder Mei's life is far more important than his!"

As he spoke, Ye Yuan's imposing manner made Li Junjie and Gu Tianyou feel a chill.

In Ye Yuan's view, these fellows clearly looked down on others.

Mei Zhen might not amount to much in their eyes, but to Ye Yuan, he was a very important elder.

Ye Yuan had gone through great hardship to rescue Mei Zhen from the Hurricane Realm; he couldn't just let him be lost to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

"Madman! You're a madman!" Li Junjie turned to Tian Feng and Luo Qingfeng and said, "Are you going to go mad with this kid? If you dare to detain Senior Brother today, be prepared to face the wrath of my Ten Thousand Swords Sect! When that happens, your Nethercloud Sect will be left without a single chicken or dog!"

Both Tian Feng and Luo Qingfeng's expressions changed; they really couldn't bear such consequences!

Although Mei Zhen was important, compared to the entire sect...

But Ye Yuan didn't give them time to hesitate. He stepped forward, squinting slightly, and said, "Are you threatening me?"

Intimidated by Ye Yuan's momentum, Li Junjie instinctively stepped back.

But he quickly recovered, and his face flushed slightly.

"What... what's wrong with me? I was actually afraid? I, a disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, am afraid of this kid?" A wave of shame washed over Li Junjie.

However, he really had no retort against Ye Yuan.

Since Ye Yuan could defeat even Qin Yan, defeating him would be a piece of cake.

"No... no, I... didn't... mean that." Li Junjie stammered.

But Ye Yuan ignored him and took another step forward, saying coldly, "Then what did you mean? Hmm?"

"I..." Li Junjie stepped back again, but tripped over something and fell on his bottom.

"Hmph! My Nethercloud Sect acted with public spirit, sending someone to the Northern Domain to inform you three great sects and warn you to guard against otherworldly invasion! And you, out of spite, detained Elder Mei! If I don't keep a hostage today, Elder Mei will surely come to no good end. You two go back today. If Elder Mei suffers the slightest harm, I will make Qin Yan's life worse than death!" Ye Yuan snorted coldly.

Pressed by Ye Yuan's momentum, Gu Tianyou and Li Junjie dared not talk back.

The hall fell into a deathly silence; no one dared to speak.

Gu Tianyou and the other stood there, not knowing whether to leave or stay, extremely embarrassed.

Meanwhile, Tian Feng, Luo Qingfeng, and the others felt quite gratified inside. For over a thousand years, they had retreated to the Southern Domain and lived very stifled lives.

Especially when Li Junjie had just used the Azure Firmament Purple Sun Sword Art against Xiao Jian, it had greatly wounded their pride.

Back then, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect had nearly annihilated the Nethercloud Sect, and it was in that battle that the Nethercloud Sect had suffered severe losses, never recovering since.

To be honest, the enmity between the two sects was irreconcilable!

But the problem was that the Ten Thousand Swords Sect was now one of the three strongest sects in the entire Boundless Realm; their strength was too great!

A small sect like the Nethercloud Sect simply couldn't afford to provoke them!

They didn't know where Ye Yuan got the audacity to dare to stroke the tiger's whiskers of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

However, through the battle just now, Luo Qingfeng had clearly realized that Ye Yuan's actual combat strength was probably not inferior to his own.

Moreover, the entire Nethercloud Sect had been saved by Ye Yuan. Whatever Ye Yuan wanted to do now, they were willing to back him up!

Just then, Ye Yuan suddenly squinted and said coldly, "Since you're here, friend, why not show yourself? If word gets out, people might think my Nethercloud Sect doesn't know how to treat guests."

Luo Qingfeng and the others' expressions changed; someone had infiltrated the main hall without their knowledge!

A woman in light blue gauze drifted down from the eaves, making the temperature in the entire hall seem to drop a few degrees.

The woman was icy cold yet stunningly beautiful. Standing there, she gave off an aloofness that kept people at a distance—a true ice queen!

Seeing this woman, Qin Yan and the others' expressions changed!

"Yin Yanhua!"

Seeing this woman, Ye Yuan was somewhat surprised. The Nethercloud Sect had a protective formation, yet this woman had managed to silently infiltrate the hall.

Yin Yanhua bowed gracefully to Ye Yuan but did not speak.

Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said loudly, "Could it be that you still harbor illusions? Since you're here, why not all come together? Wouldn't that be livelier?"

Luo Qingfeng was secretly alarmed; there was another person!

Sure enough, as Ye Yuan's words fell, a young man in a black robe emerged from a corner.

"Guo Taoqun! You!" Seeing these two, Qin Yan wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

Guo Taoqun glanced at Ye Yuan a couple of times, but his gaze finally settled on Qin Yan. He laughed, "Heh, the top disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, defeated in the desolate Southern Domain. When this news reaches the Northern Domain, it should cause quite a stir!"

Qin Yan sneered, "Guo Taoqun, don't gloat here! If you have the guts, go test that kid yourself!"

Guo Taoqun was taken aback, then looked at Ye Yuan and chuckled, "So, after all that, you were defeated by this kid?"

Yin Yanhua and Guo Taoqun had only arrived at the hall not long ago and hadn't seen the match between Ye Yuan and Qin Yan.

Guo Taoqun had thought that Luo Qingfeng had severely injured Qin Yan and had come out just to mock him.

At this moment, Yin Yanhua, who had been silent, rarely spoke: "That young man is no ordinary fellow!"

Guo Taoqun was startled again and finally took a good look at Ye Yuan.

He had originally thought that Ye Yuan had detected Yin Yanhua and himself because of some formation in the hall.

Now it seemed it wasn't that simple.

This youth, no more than sixteen, seemed somewhat extraordinary.

Guo Taoqun knew Qin Yan's strength all too well. Even against an ordinary Soul Sea first level, he wouldn't necessarily be at a disadvantage.

Guo Taoqun had previously thought that the Nethercloud Sect's sect master was very strong, causing Qin Yan's defeat. He never expected it was because of this youth.

This youth was only at Huahai first level; did that mean... he could cross an entire major realm to defeat his opponent?

This realization was no small matter!
