Chapter 947: Lin Chao's Reckless Provocation

Yue Jianqiu was now in a dilemma. Being cornered by Lin Chao, he really didn't know what to do.

What was certain was that Ye Yuan and Yue Mengli's seclusion must have encountered some problem.

How could he, a Divine King powerhouse, not know the dangers of splitting the divine soul?

Even with the Soul-Detaching Pill, the process was still extremely perilous.

However, Ye Yuan was already his last hope!

Initially, he had been skeptical of Ye Yuan. But after witnessing Ye Yuan's extraordinary alchemy skills, Yue Jianqiu decided to take a gamble.

Yet, as it seemed now, something had indeed gone wrong.

"If you can't wait, you can withdraw!" Yue Jianqiu snorted coldly.

After all, he was the lord of a city, a Divine King at the Ninth Layer of Dao Profound; how could he be manipulated by a junior?

But Lin Chao seemed unwilling to let it go. He said with a faint smile, "I, Lin, can certainly wait. But since Moonlight City is hosting such a grand event, shouldn't you give me a time limit? If Ye Yuan doesn't come out for a month, must I stand here for a month? Moreover, even if a forfeit is to be declared, shouldn't it be me who wins?"

Yue Jianqiu's face darkened. This Lin Chao was not easy to deal with!

Besides, this matter itself was not in Moonlight City's favor. If pursued further, it would obviously not benefit the Yue family.

Just as Yue Jianqiu was at a loss, two figures descended from the sky.

They held hands, like a pair of celestial lovers.

After the resonance of their divine souls, Ye Yuan and Yue Mengli together gave off an extremely harmonious feeling.

Seeing this, Yue Jianqiu was also quite astonished. What had happened between the two during these days of seclusion?

"What a surprise. I never expected my final opponent to be an old acquaintance!"

As he spoke, Ye Yuan leaped onto the arena platform.

To be honest, Ye Yuan was also quite astonished the moment he saw Lin Chao.

He had never imagined that his final opponent would actually be Lin Chao.

Back then, Lin Chao had been utterly crippled by Ye Yuan at the gates of the Nethercloud Sect, and he had assumed that even if Lin Chao survived, he would be a cripple.

Unexpectedly, after all these years, not only was he not crippled, but he had even reached the peak of the Formless Realm!

Lin Chao had also witnessed the scene just now. Not only was he not surprised, but he felt a surge of delight.

The closer Ye Yuan and Yue Mengli were, the more satisfying it would be to tear them apart, wouldn't it?

That thrill of revenge must be wonderful.

Lin Chao smiled and said, "Yes! Just a moment ago, I thought you wouldn't make it today, and I was quite disappointed!"

Both of them were all smiles, and the crowd below was astonished to see that these two mysterious young prodigies had known each other for a long time.

Judging by the way they spoke, they seemed like old friends who hadn't seen each other for years.

"It seems you've been preparing for today for a long time," Ye Yuan said with a half-smile, his expression indescribably mocking.

Ye Yuan's smile pierced Lin Chao like a thorn.

He was still smiling, but his smile had become somewhat unnatural: "Yes, I've been waiting for this day for over a decade! Today, I will reclaim everything I lost!"

Ye Yuan shrugged and said calmly, "It seems you, like Zhao Tianyin and his son, have sold your soul for power. But in front of me, Ye Yuan, even if you've sold your soul, all that remains is despair."

Ye Yuan's posture, as if looking down on all living beings, deeply wounded Lin Chao's pride.

Even if Lin Chao was full of clever schemes, even if his cultivation level far surpassed Ye Yuan's, the final outcome was still a tragedy.

Back then, the Purple Firmament Sect had pressed on the border with overwhelming force, intending to crush the Nether Cloud Sect.

In the end, Ye Yuan not only rescued all the captives single-handedly but also severely wounded Lin Chao, nearly killing him.

This kind of suppression that ignored levels was utterly despair-inducing.

In fact, he had truly despaired back then—his cultivation was crippled, his heart as dead as ashes.

But the Divine Martial Hall gave him a second life, allowing him to be reborn and granting him unparalleled power!

With this power, he had even defeated the heir of the Heavenly Pond Superior Kingdom!

Ye Yuan was even less of a problem!

"Heh heh, Ye Yuan, you're still so arrogant! But today's Lin Chao is no longer the Lin Chao of the past! Today, I will not only trample you underfoot but also take your woman! Let you feel what true despair is!" Lin Chao sneered.

Ye Yuan smiled. Lin Chao's words made him angry.

"Very good. Remember what you just said!" Ye Yuan said with a full smile.

To Ye Yuan, his loved ones were not to be offended. Now that Lin Chao had set his sights on Yue Mengli, his anger had been successfully provoked.

Looking at Ye Yuan's smile, Lin Chao actually felt a chill in his heart.

"Damn it! What am I afraid of? Now that I can even defeat the heir of the Heavenly Pond Superior Kingdom, why should I be afraid of a mere Ye Yuan?" Lin Chao cursed inwardly.

"Provoking Brother Yuan like that, that Lin Chao is asking for death." Beside Yue Jianqiu, Yue Mengli said calmly.

After the soul resonance with Ye Yuan, she could empathize with his thoughts. She knew that Ye Yuan was truly enraged.

Yue Jianqiu looked at his daughter with some surprise, not knowing where her confidence came from.

But since just now, Yue Jianqiu had noticed that his daughter seemed somewhat different.

At this moment, the morbid pallor on Yue Mengli's face had completely disappeared, and the melancholy hidden beneath her calmness was also gone.

Now, Yue Mengli was dignified and elegant, ethereal and otherworldly, appearing even more transcendent and unapproachable than before.

It could be said that Yue Mengli's entire temperament had undergone a transformation!

Now, Yue Mengli was confident and composed, no longer the little girl she once was. Yet when her gaze fell on Ye Yuan, it was so full of deep affection, clearly still that little girl.

That demeanor belonged only to Ye Yuan!

What exactly had Ye Yuan done to his daughter?

"What makes you say that?" Yue Jianqiu said.

Yue Mengli smiled and said, "Father, just watch."

"Li'er, has Ye Yuan... really healed you?" Yue Jianqiu asked uncertainly.

Yue Mengli nodded and said, "Father, the Yue family will never have to beg others again! The Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye may really not be much!"

Yue Jianqiu shuddered and looked at Yue Mengli in disbelief.

The Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye was the pursuit of the Zhou and Yue families for countless generations! It was a pupil technique that could achieve the divine path—how could it not be coveted?

But now, Yue Mengli actually looked down on the Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye!

Of course, he knew what Yue Mengli was referring to. The Innate Moonlight Heavenly Eye Constitution plus the Innate War Soul Constitution would make Yue Mengli a peerless powerhouse!

Although the Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye was powerful, it might not be able to match the Innate War Soul Constitution!

In the age of the divine path, those with the Innate War Soul Constitution were all beings who roamed the heavens and earth.
