Chapter 491 Your Opponent Is Him

This black-robed man was at the Soul Sea First Layer, clearly Mao Yuanji, the sect master of the Evil Heaven Sect.

However, his words revealed a certain wariness toward Luo Qingfeng.

These two could appear on the main peak without any warning, which suggested they had some skill.

"You are Mao Yuanji?" Ye Yuan glanced at him and asked indifferently.

Mao Yuanji was displeased to see a brat at the Sea Transformation realm acting so arrogantly.

"Hmph! When Soul Sea realm cultivators speak, where does a junior like you get off being insolent?"

With that, Mao Yuanji flicked his sleeve, sending a surge of force toward Ye Yuan to push him away.

He did this partly to show off his power and make the other party know his strength, and partly to test Luo Qingfeng's limits.

Mao Yuanji fully expected Ye Yuan to be knocked dizzy by the force and fall from the air, but to his surprise, Ye Yuan stood there motionless!

Mao Yuanji's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Ye Yuan.

The force he had just exerted would have made even a late Sea Transformation cultivator unable to stand still, let alone a Sea Transformation First Layer!

This kid... is strange!

Ye Yuan, however, ignored Mao Yuanji and said calmly, "Ten years ago, you took a fancy to the eldest daughter of the Wang family in Xiliang City and forcibly demanded her. The Wang family's eldest daughter, being chaste, committed suicide. In your anger, you slaughtered the entire Wang family. Is that true?"

Mao Yuanji's face darkened.

Of course, this had happened, and it was no secret within the Evil Heaven Sect.

The Evil Heaven Sect always acted on personal whims; killing people over a disagreement was common.

Back then, he had taken a liking to the Wang family's eldest daughter and ordered the Wang family to send her over in the name of the sect. Who knew the girl would be so resolute as to hang herself?

In a rage, Mao Yuanji sent men to slaughter the entire Wang family.

"Hmph! Who do you think you are? Do you deserve an answer from me?" Mao Yuanji snorted coldly.

Although Ye Yuan's earlier display had surprised him, he still didn't take a Sea Transformation First Layer seriously.

In Mao Yuanji's view, Luo Qingfeng was his real threat.

But Ye Yuan's tone, as if he didn't regard him at all, only infuriated Mao Yuanji further.

If not for his wariness of Luo Qingfeng's strength, Mao Yuanji would have already killed Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan ignored Mao Yuanji and continued, "Seven years ago, a Sea Transformation Ninth Layer martial artist named Zhang Dongyu was selling a high-grade spiritual artifact in Fengling City. After getting word, you killed him and took the treasure."

"Five years ago..."

"Four years ago..."

...

Ye Yuan recounted Mao Yuanji's misdeeds one by one, as if chatting about everyday matters, but everyone present could feel the coldness in his words.

This Mao Yuanji was utterly wicked; he killed and burned without any reason, and many people had suffered undeserved calamities.

Clearly, Ye Yuan had murderous intent.

And before a Soul Sea realm powerhouse like Mao Yuanji, Ye Yuan made no effort to hide his killing intent!

Was this kid out of his mind?

"You did all these, didn't you? You don't have to answer, but I've already investigated. So... you must die today!" Ye Yuan said calmly.

In Ye Yuan's view, martial artists killing wasn't a big deal; the world of martial artists was one of the strong preying on the weak.

But when he encountered someone as utterly depraved as Mao Yuanji, he couldn't suppress his urge to kill.

Perhaps this had to do with his previous identity as the Alchemy Emperor. Of course, it was also related to Ji Zhengyang's teachings.

Thus, in his past life, Ye Yuan had spent most of his time saving people.

Over several centuries, the number of people Ye Yuan had healed and helped was beyond count.

Even after being reborn, this core trait within Ye Yuan could not be erased.

Hearing Ye Yuan's words, Mao Yuanji laughed in fury: "Kid, what's the big deal if I kill a few people? So you've come to play the hero? Fine! I'm standing right here—come and kill me! A wet-behind-the-ears brat trying to act tough in front of me—let's see if you have what it takes!"

By now, Mao Yuanji knew these two meant trouble and that this matter wouldn't end peacefully.

But with only one Soul Sea realm opponent, he could still handle it.

This kid was overestimating himself; the Evil Heaven Sect still had many high-level Sea Transformation cultivators waiting for him.

Moreover, the methods of Evil Heaven Sect disciples were extremely bizarre and hard to guard against. A young brat like this coming to play hero was truly brainless!

Ye Yuan suddenly grinned and said, "You'll find out soon enough whether I have what it takes! Yuan Ling Nine Transformations!"

"Boom!"

Ye Yuan's aura exploded, quickly surging to Sea Transformation Fifth Layer!

After his battle with Dai Yuhen, Ye Yuan had gained much and quickly consolidated his cultivation base.

Since arriving in the Northern Domain, Ye Yuan's cultivation had progressed steadily, and he had finally broken through to Sea Transformation Second Layer yesterday!

Now, facing a Soul Sea realm powerhouse again, Ye Yuan was clearly more confident!

Seeing Ye Yuan break through three minor realms in an instant, Mao Yuanji's pupils contracted, but he soon sneered, "So this is your trump card? Hahaha, you don't think bringing a Sea Transformation Fifth Layer can destroy my Evil Heaven Sect, do you?"

The latter half of his remark was directed at Luo Qingfeng.

In his view, Luo Qingfeng had brought a helper to fight him.

But were they mistaken? Was the Evil Heaven Sect only him?

Luo Qingfeng smiled faintly and said, "Your opponent is him. As long as no one else interferes, I won't make a move."

As Luo Qingfeng finished speaking, everyone was stunned!

"Have these two lost their minds? Letting a Sea Transformation realm challenge a Soul Sea realm?"

"Even if he's training a junior, he doesn't have to send him to his death, does he? And this kid is a complete fool—when his elder tells him to challenge a Soul Sea realm, he actually does it?"

"I'm so confused, hahaha, this is hilarious! I'm dying of laughter!"

After the shock came a wave of mockery.

To these people, the two were simply madmen.

Mao Yuanji squinted and sneered, "Are you sure you'll only let him fight?"

Luo Qingfeng chuckled, and with a flicker, retreated dozens of zhang, making his stance clear.

At such a distance, if Ye Yuan were in danger, Luo Qingfeng wouldn't be able to rescue him in time.

This attitude was very obvious!

He truly wasn't going to interfere in their battle!

Mao Yuanji grinned viciously, "I never thought I'd be looked down upon by a Sea Transformation brat today. Hahaha, but... I like your ignorance! I'll show you what despair means!"

Ye Yuan curled his lips, raised the Canghua Sword, and a terrifying aura rippled outward!

Seeing this, everyone's expressions changed dramatically!
