Chapter 475: That Mysterious Senior Brother?

Sweeping a gaze across the hilltop, there were not many Cultivators from the Small Thousand Palace; counting them up, there were only ten, all of whom were Disciples with outstanding talent.

Aside from Luo Li, Wei Qingyan, and Su Xiaoyu, the other seven, upon hearing Ye Hanyou's words, showed signs of being moved. They clearly did not reject the idea of merging the entire Small Thousand Palace into the Extreme Yin Palace, and were even somewhat expectant.

However, Ye Hanyou had little interest in these seven; he had no impression of them whatsoever, nor any interest in them.

They were likely considered relatively outstanding Disciples within the Small Thousand Palace, otherwise they would not have had the opportunity to come to such a place.

But as the strongest power in the Southwest Region, the Extreme Yin Palace could find such Disciples by the handful; they were far from worth Ye Hanyou extending a personal invitation.

Luo Li and Wei Qingyan were his primary targets. The outer areas of the Battle Heaven Ruins Barrier remained open in certain places every year. Previously, Luo Li and Wei Qingyan had performed stunningly in those areas and made a name for themselves, which was how the world came to know these two stunning Prodigies.

Luo Li had displayed astonishing Alchemy skills, leading many to deduce that she possessed the Alchemy God Physique.

Wei Qingyan's combat power was extremely formidable, her attainments in the Dao of the sword were exceptionally high, and the cross-rank combat capability she displayed was breathtaking; powerful Cultivators had discerned that she possessed the legendary Supreme Sword Physique.

Neither of them had reached a Breakthrough to the King Realm yet, but the potential they displayed was already extraordinary. Coupled with their two top-tier Physiques, it was enough for any power to take them seriously.

Crucially, not only were they Prodigies in terms of talent, but their beauty was devastatingly stunning, and their unique aura was truly captivating.

It could be said that the reason Ye Hanyou invited them was largely due to their appearance and aura.

As the most favored youngest son and the Young Palace Master of the Extreme Yin Palace, he had never lacked women in his life. He could not even remember how many beauties he had possessed, but compared to Luo Li and Wei Qingyan, every single one of them fell far short.

Although Su Xiaoyu was a notch below the two, she was still a rare beauty. If he could bring her back to the Extreme Yin Palace, it would only be a matter of time before he made her his woman.

Yet, the three people Ye Hanyou was most interested in were completely unmoved by his invitation, which left him feeling very displeased.

Although he was very displeased, he did not resort to any extreme words or actions.

With an ostensibly self-deprecating laugh, he steered his flying boat to a stop in the distance.

That was the place closest to the central area of the Battle Heaven Ruins Barrier; according to past patterns, the spatial passage would open at that location.

It had previously been occupied by some powerful Cultivators, but as the Extreme Yin Palace's flying boat approached, those Cultivators had no choice but to voluntarily yield their position.

"Senior Sister, that guy didn't seem to get angry after being rejected, but do you think he might be plotting how to take revenge on us?"

Watching the flying boat stop in the distance, Su Xiaoyu moved closer to Luo Li and Wei Qingyan and whispered.

Ye Hanyou had a great reputation, not only because of his status as the Young Palace Master of the Extreme Yin Palace, but also because of his own talent.

Ye Hanyou was the one hundred and forty-fourth son of the Extreme Yin Palace Master. For top-tier experts, who were inherently powerful and possessed long Lifespans, they did not value or care for their children as much as ordinary families did.

Especially since he had so many children.

It was just like being in an imperial family; not every son could be favored. To be favored, one had to possess sufficient value.

Ye Hanyou was the most valuable child of the Extreme Yin Palace Master. He had displayed astonishing talent from a young age and was known as a peerless Prodigy born once in a millennium; not a single Cultivator born in the Southwest Region within this millennium could compare to him in terms of talent.

It was only until the appearance of Luo Li and Wei Qingyan in recent years that this reputation of his was slightly shaken.

However, the time Luo Li and Wei Qingyan had been around was ultimately too short, and they had not even reached the King Realm. Although everyone felt their potential was extraordinary, no one dared to guarantee that they were definitely more of a Prodigy than Ye Hanyou.

If Luo Li and Wei Qingyan could maintain their previous stunning performance, they could indeed surpass Ye Hanyou.

However, regarding what height a Cultivator could ultimately reach, talent was only one factor; background and resources were also quite important.

In the eyes of outsiders, the height Luo Li and Wei Qingyan would ultimately reach might not necessarily compare to Ye Hanyou's.

Regarding such a Prodigy, Su Xiaoyu was naturally somewhat worried.

She had a very good relationship with Luo Li and Wei Qingyan, so she knew their backgrounds were extraordinary, and that the Small Thousand Palace she belonged to was not as simple as it appeared on the surface. This was also the source of the two's confidence in refusing Ye Hanyou.

However, Su Xiaoyu ultimately did not know much and did not understand just how deep the Small Thousand Palace's background was. She was still quite worried about Ye Hanyou's revenge; after all, the other party had the strongest power in the Southwest Region behind him, and Ye Hanyou's own strength was also far greater than theirs.

According to rumors, this person was inherently petty, and if things did not go his way, it was very normal for him to use underhanded methods.

Su Xiaoyu was afraid he would seek revenge.

"If he dares, he can just come!"

Wei Qingyan held her broken sword, completely lacking the worry Su Xiaoyu had; she did not take Ye Hanyou to heart in the slightest.

"This person's talent is not bad, and he is favored by the Extreme Yin Palace Master, but it is a pity that his journey has been too smooth. What is a so-called millennium-first Genius when looking at the whole world? If his heart is truly that small, stumbling is only a matter of time."

Luo Li looked toward the direction of the flying boat and said softly.

She wore a smile, the mountain breeze blowing her silver hair, and that stunning and confident appearance also put Su Xiaoyu's heart somewhat at ease.

"In the future, you will definitely have the chance to see what a truly peerless Prodigy who sweeps across everything looks like!"

"'Born once in a millennium' or 'born once in ten thousand years' are not enough to describe him!"

Luo Li turned her head and smiled at Su Xiaoyu.

"Senior Sister, are you referring to that Senior Brother?"

Su Xiaoyu's expression shifted.

The other Disciples of the Small Thousand Palace might not know, but as the only fellow Disciple with a close relationship with Luo Li and Wei Qingyan, she had heard the two Senior Sisters mention a mysterious Senior Brother.

To be accurate, he was Luo Li's Junior Brother and Wei Qingyan's Senior Brother.

In their descriptions, that Senior Brother was simply indescribably monstrous; not only was his combat capability something even Wei Qingyan sighed in inferiority at, but his cultivation speed completely shattered conventional logic.

Su Xiaoyu had always been curious about this Senior Brother she had never met.

Luo Li and Wei Qingyan were usually relatively low-key and would not boast about their talent, but Su Xiaoyu knew that deep down, both of them were very proud and had never looked up to Ye Hanyou's title of a millennium-first Prodigy.

They indeed had the qualifications for that.

However, that mysterious Senior Brother was the only person who made Luo Li and Wei Qingyan feel genuinely convinced and admiring whenever they mentioned him.

Luo Li just smiled and did not answer Su Xiaoyu's question.

A momentary trance appeared on Wei Qingyan's usually calm, pretty face, as if the figure she thought of day and night had appeared before her eyes again.

Seeing this scene, Su Xiaoyu was lost in thought; it seemed Luo Li was indeed referring to that Senior Brother.

"That Senior Brother is not much older than Senior Sister Wei, and even younger than Senior Sister Luo. No matter how monstrous he is, perhaps there is still a significant gap in strength between him and Ye Hanyou right now, right?"

Su Xiaoyu thought to herself secretly.

Although she had never met him, out of curiosity about that Senior Brother, Su Xiaoyu secretly compared that Senior Brother with Ye Hanyou in her heart.

Hum!

Just at this moment, the entire world suddenly began to tremble.

One mile in front of the Extreme Yin Palace's flying boat, a colorful, shimmering spatial passage slowly took shape.
