Chapter 899: The Spirit Blood Ginseng

The Netherkill Sovereign gave Ye Yuan a meaningful look before leaving with his subordinates.

The Blaze Sovereign, with fiery red hair, sauntered over to Sovereign Siyin, glanced at Ye Yuan, and grinned, "Siyin, you'd better keep a close eye on your little treasure. The road ahead... won't be peaceful! Hahaha!"

This was a blatant threat, drawing glares from the warriors on Sovereign Siyin's side.

Bermond was a key figure the Blaze Sovereign had cultivated in the third layer, investing considerable resources, but Ye Yuan had killed him—the grudge was set.

Nearby, Sovereign Tiandang also looked at Siyin with a half-smile and said, "Siyin, your position as sovereign is already precarious, yet you dare to take in such a hot potato? Heh, you'd better be careful on this trip to the Heavenkill Pit."

Siyin's face was as cold as frost, but she did not argue.

She hadn't expected Blaze and Tiandang to join forces. This trip seemed quite troublesome.

"Sovereign, it's time to set out. If we don't go now, others will have picked up all the treasures." Ye Yuan's calm voice came from afar; he had already walked quite a distance.

Siyin was startled, then finally came to her senses. She couldn't help but feel a little surprised—Ye Yuan had stirred up such a big trouble, yet he didn't seem worried at all.

Was this kid thick-skinned, or did he have something to rely on?

"Hmph! This nearby area has been scoured countless times. If there were any treasures, they'd have been picked clean long ago. What makes you think you'd find any?" Siyin caught up to Ye Yuan and snorted coldly.

Ye Yuan smiled. "That's not necessarily true!"

The Heavenkill Pit was enormous; the area explored by Asura City was only a tiny part of it.

Going deeper was extremely dangerous. Even the veteran sovereigns dared not venture too far in.

The area within ten thousand li had been visited by these sovereigns of the Asura Field countless times; it was impossible for anything to be left behind.

Now, the good stuff was almost all beyond ten thousand li.

"Hey, Ye Yuan! Don't run around recklessly. The Heavenkill Pit is thick with baleful energy, and even within this ten-thousand-li area, it's very dangerous!" Seeing Ye Yuan wandering off on his own, Siyin couldn't help but warn him.

This guy really was a handful.

"Sovereign, what is that kid up to? The Heavenkill Pit is an ancient battlefield, full of evil things. Running around like that will get us killed!"

"That kid thinks he's all that just because the sovereign needs something from him!"

"Sovereign, look at how arrogant he is. Who would think he's your subordinate? Anyone would think you're his subordinate!"

Siyin's subordinates were also quite dissatisfied with Ye Yuan. Seeing him run around wildly, they all started complaining.

Siyin's face darkened. Ye Yuan's actions indeed showed little regard for her.

On this journey, she, as the sovereign, should naturally be in charge. But this kid was running east and west—what was that about?

The other sovereigns' teams had already gone far ahead, while their group had barely covered five hundred li.

At this rate, they wouldn't reach the Dragon Emperor's territory in three days.

Embarrassed by her subordinates' remarks, Siyin's face darkened as she demanded, "Ye Yuan, are you deliberately causing trouble?"

Ye Yuan acted as if he hadn't heard, still running around as if searching for something.

"Sovereign, this kid doesn't take you seriously at all!" Seeing Siyin angry, the subordinates grew excited.

Siyin's expression grew uglier. Finally, she moved and appeared beside Ye Yuan.

"Ye Yuan, the Heavenkill Pit is no joke. If you want to die, don't drag everyone down with you! If you keep this up, I won't be polite!" Siyin said coldly.

Ye Yuan made a shushing gesture at Siyin and whispered, "Keep your voice down, or you'll scare the treasure away!"

He looked mysterious, like a complete charlatan.

But to Siyin, Ye Yuan was simply unreasonable.

"Ye Yuan, you've gone too far! If I don't teach you a lesson, you'll never take me, the sovereign, seriously!" Siyin said coldly.

Siyin's killing intent surged, and her powerful aura spread toward Ye Yuan.

With a "whoosh," a small figure suddenly shot out from underground and darted into the distance.

Siyin was stunned, and her killing intent dissipated instantly.

Ye Yuan sighed slightly and glared at Siyin.

"Bang!"

The little thing was incredibly fast; even Siyin couldn't see what it was. But it hadn't gone far before it slammed into a light barrier and tumbled backward.

Undeterred, the little thing got up and ran in another direction, but again it hit the light barrier after a short distance.

Seeing this, Siyin and the generals were astonished.

They had clearly noticed that a trapping formation had been set up within a radius of several dozen zhang.

The formation was obviously laid by Ye Yuan, but none of them had seen when he did it!

Now, the little thing was darting around inside the formation like a headless fly, but no matter how it ran, it couldn't escape.

Before long, the little thing was exhausted and gave up fleeing.

It sat down and looked at Ye Yuan with pitiful eyes.

It looked incredibly cute.

Siyin took a closer look and saw a palm-sized little doll. Her maternal instincts surged, and she wanted to scoop it up.

"Hey, what are you doing!" Just as Siyin reached out, Ye Yuan scolded her.

Siyin was taken aback. "Don't you see how pitiful it is? I just want to hold it!"

Ye Yuan glared at her again and said irritably, "You useless, meddlesome woman! If I hadn't been foresighted, this Spirit Blood Ginseng would have escaped because of you!"

Siyin's face flushed red. She pointed at Ye Yuan, her chest heaving, and fumed, "You! What did you say! How dare you call me... call me..."

"Hmph! Aren't you a useless woman? Do you know how precious this Spirit Blood Ginseng is? Do you know how much effort I spent not to startle it? If it escaped, finding it again would be harder than reaching the sky!" Ye Yuan said, displeased, completely ignoring Siyin's attitude.

Siyin was speechless. She finally came to her senses and widened her eyes. "You... you mean this little doll is a ninth-grade spiritual herb, the Spirit Blood Ginseng?"

Ye Yuan rolled his eyes. "What else did you think?"

Siyin was dumbfounded. She never imagined that within a few hundred li, there could be a ninth-grade spiritual herb!

"You... why didn't you say so earlier..." Siyin said weakly.
