Chapter 978: White Tiger Dungeon

After a round of teasing, Bai Guang's mood finally eased.

In front of Ye Yuan, he had reverted to the lively and cheerful Bai Guang.

Seeing this, Bai Po beside him was astonished.

In all the time Bai Guang had been with the Radiant Light Clan, he had never seen him so innocent and carefree.

In his memory, Bai Guang had always been a mature young man who was serious and confident.

"By the way, why did the council suddenly revoke your candidacy for young patriarch? Even if they suspect your identity, it shouldn't be so extreme, right? After all, the divine beast bloodline on you can't be faked." Ye Yuan brought the topic back to the main issue.

Bai Guang fell silent, a faint blush spreading across his face, showing some shyness.

Seeing this, Ye Yuan couldn't help but be surprised.

Bai Po, however, let out a long sigh and said, "Alas... even heroes have a hard time resisting beauty! I never thought the young master would fall into it."

Both being experienced men, Ye Yuan and Bai Po immediately understood what was happening.

"Heh, I never thought our Bai Guang would have his first taste of love! But who is the girl, and how does it involve the struggle for the young patriarch of your White Tiger Clan?" Ye Yuan asked curiously.

Teased by Ye Yuan, Bai Guang's face turned as red as an apple, but he still sighed and said, "I know I shouldn't, but... I can't control my feelings! That girl is from the Demon Tiger Clan. Our White Tiger Clan and the Demon Tiger Clan are sworn enemies. Someone found out and reported it to the council, which led the elders to decide to revoke my candidacy."

Ye Yuan was astonished upon hearing this. Bai Guang had actually fallen in love with an enemy; no wonder the council was furious enough to revoke his candidacy.

Coupled with doubts about Bai Guang's identity, it would be strange if the council didn't take action!

Given such an incident, it was already a miracle that Bai Guang was still free.

Bai Po also sighed and said, "In recent years, the young master has rendered great service to the White Tiger Clan, which is why he was exceptionally made a candidate for young patriarch. If not, the council's actions would have been more severe than just revoking his candidacy."

Ye Yuan didn't know much about the White Tiger Clan's affairs, but he knew that the White Tiger Clan and the Demon Tiger Clan were mortal enemies.

The two sides had been warring in the demon domain for countless millennia.

That Bai Guang had fallen in love with a woman from the Demon Tiger Clan was absolutely unforgivable.

Ye Yuan didn't speak; he just tapped the table lightly with his fingers, producing a rhythmic sound.

Seeing this, the others knew Ye Yuan was thinking and held their breath, not daring to disturb him.

After a long while, Ye Yuan suddenly spoke, "Where is the girl now?"

Bai Guang's expression darkened. "I originally hid her in the territory of the Radiant Light Clan, but someone found out. Now she's imprisoned in the dungeon of the totem territory. The clan has decreed that after the council's decision the day after tomorrow, she will be executed!"

Bai Guang clenched his fists, his bones cracking. Ye Yuan knew he was struggling inside; if it were the old Bai Guang, he would have already rushed to the dungeon to rescue her.

But now, he bore the mission of the Radiant Light Clan. It was like a shackle, preventing Bai Guang from acting freely.

Ye Yuan nodded. "This matter is suspicious. We might need to find a breakthrough from this girl. It seems we need to enter the dungeon."

Bai Guang hesitated. "But the dungeon is heavily guarded, and the clan has strictly forbidden me from entering to visit Xiao'er."

Ye Yuan smiled. "Such a small matter can't stump your big brother. Just tell me the location of the dungeon; I have my ways to get in."

...

At midnight, in the dungeon of the White Tiger Clan, there was a subtle fluctuation in space, and a figure stepped directly out of the void.

The White Tiger Clan's dungeon was indeed heavily guarded, with even the underground protected by formations to prevent prisoners from escaping.

But this was nothing for Ye Yuan, who had comprehended the unity of heaven and man.

The realm of unity of heaven and man touched the origin of the Dao; mere formations could not stop Ye Yuan's steps.

As soon as Ye Yuan's figure appeared, several terrifying auras locked onto him!

Clearly, his appearance had broken the dead silence of the dungeon.

"Unity of heaven and man, merging with heaven and earth! Good lad, at such a young age, you have such a state of mind!" A cold voice seemed to come from the depths of the underworld.

Ye Yuan could sense that when this voice appeared, the other auras receded like a tide, as if they had never existed.

"Flattery. I'm here to find someone. You all go back to sleep and don't bother me." Ye Yuan said indifferently.

"Haha, what an arrogant brat! But you do have the capital to be arrogant! I've lived for tens of thousands of years and haven't reached the unity of heaven and man. I really don't know how you cultivated! Lad, let's make a deal." The cold voice suddenly changed the subject.

Ye Yuan said flatly, "Not interested. Go play elsewhere and don't hinder me."

Ye Yuan knew that this person must have immense cultivation, but he also knew that the dungeon had terrible restrictive forces.

These guys seemed fearsome, but they were just bluffing.

"Hmph! You don't appreciate a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit! Do you think I really have no way to deal with you?"

Suddenly, a terrifying aura emanated from the depths of the dungeon, and a massive soul power directly ignored the restrictions and launched an attack on Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan just sneered and didn't move at all.

Using soul attacks against him was simply asking for death!

"Ah!"

Sure enough, a scream came.

The soul attack came quickly, but it retreated even faster!

Under this strike, the opponent had already suffered considerable injury.

Fortunately, the restrictions blocked most of the soul power; otherwise, the opponent would have been utterly destroyed.

At this moment, Ye Yuan clearly felt the atmosphere in the dungeon change.

Originally, the others had been gloating at Ye Yuan's arrogance.

But now, from each cell, there was obvious unease.

Ye Yuan smiled. "Now you're behaving? Having been suppressed for who knows how many years, you still try to act tough. Serves you right!"

"Lad, who exactly are you? How could you, at your level, block my soul attack?"

The cold voice sounded again, but it was noticeably weaker, clearly the previous strike had made him very uncomfortable.

"Ao Qian, you've really come up in the world, ending up in the White Tiger Clan's dungeon!" At this moment, Long Teng's voice suddenly rang out.
