Chapter 612: Let's Talk This Over

"Take Lingyun to heal his wounds; leave this to me." Shangguan Yunrong said calmly.

Deng Sheng had already resolved himself to die, but who would have thought the tide would turn? Shangguan Yunrong had arrived at the last moment and saved his life.

He looked at Ye Yuan with a complicated expression, unsure whether to be happy or sad.

Happy because Lord Yunrong had arrived, and Ye Yuan would surely die.

Sad because such an earth-shattering genius warrior was about to die here—what a pity.

"So you are Ye Yuan?" Shangguan Yunrong looked him over and asked.

"Isn't that obvious?" Ye Yuan replied.

Shangguan Yunrong was unfazed and smiled. "My name is Shangguan Yunrong, Lingyun's clan uncle. I passed you by at Youyun Sect last time, and now I finally get to meet you. You truly are, as the legends say, a peerless genius seen once in ten thousand years. At the peak of the Sea Transformation Realm, you have the strength to kill Lingyun—truly remarkable."

To others, a Divine Travel Realm expert might be the supreme existence.

But in Ye Yuan's eyes, they were just so-so.

Of course, Ye Yuan's current strength was still far from matching a Divine Travel Realm expert.

But psychologically, he held no awe.

Hearing Shangguan Yunrong's words, Ye Yuan said indifferently, "What is Shangguan Lingyun? Killing him is nothing to be proud of."

"Hey, what an arrogant brat! I hear several juniors of our Lan clan died by your hand?" Lan Shun suddenly said coldly.

Ye Yuan raised an eyebrow at this. No wonder this man's style was so similar to those from the Lan tribe—he must be the Lan tribe's ancestor.

"So what if I did?" Ye Yuan admitted bluntly.

Today's matter clearly could not be resolved peacefully, so Ye Yuan had no choice but to see it through.

Ye Yuan could not retreat now; the warriors of Red Light City had not gone far. If he fled, those people would surely die without a burial place.

So he had to stall for time, buying enough time for them to escape.

Lan Shun had always been an exalted Divine Travel Realm expert, treated with utmost respect by everyone.

But this brat before him did not put him in his eyes at all, which infuriated him.

Although the Lan tribe guarding the Six Extremes Sealing Array was only a branch of the Lan clan, they were still his people.

This brat had killed his juniors and was still so arrogant in front of him—how could he tolerate it?

"Fine! Since you admit it, let's settle this account today! I'll break your bones one by one and offer them to my juniors!" Lan Shun said.

Ye Yuan said contemptuously, "Many have wanted to break my bones, but none have succeeded. A piece of trash like you wants to break my bones?"

Shangguan Lingyun frowned, sensing something ominous.

Ye Yuan was too calm, as if he didn't care about him or Lan Shun at all.

Did he really have something to rely on, or was he bluffing?

"What an insolent brat! I hope you can still laugh later! Yunrong, leave this brat to me. I'll make him wish he were dead!" Lan Shun said.

Although both Lan Shun and Shangguan Yunrong were Divine Travel Realm experts, Shangguan Yunrong was clearly the leader between them.

Before moving against Ye Yuan, he had to seek Shangguan Yunrong's approval.

Shangguan Yunrong nodded slightly. "Alright. I've always heard of Ye Yuan's unparalleled talent but never seen it with my own eyes. Lan Shun, weigh his strength for me!"

Receiving the affirmative, Lan Shun's face twisted into a malicious grin as he stepped closer to Ye Yuan.

He released his Divine Travel Realm pressure without restraint, suffocating everyone present.

The Divine Travel Realm was the pinnacle of existence in the lower realm.

Every Divine Travel Realm expert was supremely honored.

In the eyes of a Divine Travel Realm expert, those below were mere ants.

Lan Shun knew Ye Yuan was strong, but no matter how strong, he was just a slightly larger ant.

"Brat, you'll pay for your arrogance!"

Facing Lan Shun's oppressive force, Ye Yuan remained remarkably calm.

He suddenly produced a purple talisman and said flatly, "I don't know if I'll pay a price, but if you take one more step, your price will be turning to ashes."

The moment Ye Yuan brought out the purple talisman, Shangguan Yunrong's face changed drastically. He stared fixedly at the talisman in Ye Yuan's hand, a chill running up his spine.

Lan Shun, however, was oblivious and sneered, "So this is the source of your arrogance? A broken talisman? You don't think a mere talisman can scare me, do you?"

"Lan Shun, stop! Don't take another step!" Shangguan Yunrong said gravely.

Ye Yuan sneered, "So someone does recognize it. Seems I don't need to waste words."

Lan Shun halted, puzzled. "Yunrong, it's just a broken talisman. What's the big deal?"

Cold sweat beaded on Shangguan Yunrong's forehead. He said sternly, "Shut up! The purple talisman in his hand is called the Void Thunderburst Talisman. Once activated, it's equivalent to a full-force strike from a peak Divine Travel Realm expert! Do you think you can survive such an attack?"

The purple talisman in Ye Yuan's hand was indeed the Void Thunderburst Talisman he had obtained from the Heavenly Pagoda.

Though using it to kill a Divine Travel First Layer was a waste, at this moment, Ye Yuan couldn't care less.

"P-peak Divine Travel Realm... full-force strike..."

This time, Lan Shun was dumbfounded.

His previous domineering aura vanished instantly, and sweat the size of beans dripped from his forehead.

That thing in Ye Yuan's hand was no talisman—it was a ticking time bomb.

If he had impulsively charged forward, he would probably have turned to ashes by now.

Seeing Lan Shun's expression, Ye Yuan sneered, "Weren't you just so cocky? Weren't you going to break my bones? Come on, I'm standing right here. Break them!"

Lan Shun swallowed hard, momentarily speechless.

He had dismissed Ye Yuan entirely, but who knew the brat had such a deadly weapon?

Peak Divine Travel Realm and Divine Travel First Layer were two completely different concepts.

The gap between them was immeasurable.

No matter how strong Lan Shun was, he couldn't withstand a full-force strike from a peak Divine Travel Realm expert!

No wonder the brat was so arrogant—he had been waiting for this!

Lan Shun couldn't help but step back, but Ye Yuan noticed and sneered, "Try taking another step!"

Lan Shun froze again, unsure what to do.

His distance from Ye Yuan was now awkwardly within the attack range. He wanted to retreat, but how could Ye Yuan give him that chance?

"B-brat, don't be impulsive. Let's talk this over!" Lan Shun said hoarsely.
