Chapter 2112: Chapter 2112: The Charm of Ugliness?

The moment Ye Haochuan unleashed the Vermilion Bird Illusionary Seal, Dennis’s expression noticeably froze, and the frenzied snowflakes lost their momentum, scattering away.

This illusion technique, enhanced by the Wind Concealing Bloodline, is truly powerful!

Ye Haochuan secretly rejoiced in his heart.

The Vermilion Bird Illusionary Seal is merely a Treasure-Level Late Stage cultivation technique, but with the Wind Concealing Bloodline’s enhancement, its effect is comparable to the Pseudo-Immortal Late Stage and even Pseudo-Immortal Peak level. It’s more than enough to deal with regular cultivators not particularly adept in illusion techniques.

Actually, Ye Haochuan didn’t know that merely relying on a Treasure-Level Late Stage illusion technique wouldn’t reach this level of efficacy.

The reason he could manage it is that the Vermilion Bird Illusionary Seal itself isn’t something that ordinary illusion techniques can compare with. It’s just that Ye Haochuan hadn’t deeply studied illusion techniques and hadn’t fully tapped into the potential of the Vermilion Bird Illusionary Seal.

"Ah~"

Dennis was obviously not an average person and quickly realized he was trapped in a phantom realm, struggling desperately.

However, his mastery of illusion techniques wasn’t on par with Ye Haochuan’s. Despite struggling for a long time, he ultimately couldn’t break free and could only keep roaring.

Perhaps at this moment, he could feel what a sense of defeat truly was.

Ye Haochuan slowly walked up to him, seemingly placing the Halberd of Heaven and Earth casually on his neck.

The next moment, the phantom realm dissipated.

Dennis initially thought his efforts had worked, until he felt the cold sensation at his neck, finally realizing that he was defeated, and quite disastrously so.

"You win!"

Dennis seemed to lose all strength instantly, then clenched his fists again, saying reluctantly, "But even so, I still won’t give up Miss Mu Xiang to you!"

"Who asked you to do that? I’m not interested in her at all, okay?" Ye Haochuan said, somewhat amused yet exasperated.

"Nonsense, with Miss Mu Xiang’s charm, what man can ignore her allure?" Dennis said, incredulous.

Charm? The charm of ugliness?

Ye Haochuan really couldn’t see what charm that cloaked figure could possess. If not for Dennis’s earlier statements, Ye Haochuan might have thought Dennis was referring to that beautiful woman.

"Believe it or not, I have only one request, don’t bother me anymore, got it?" Ye Haochuan said impatiently.

"Impossible!" Dennis said resolutely, "No matter how strong you are, don’t think of stopping me from competing fairly for Miss Mu Xiang, unless you kill me!"

"Are you out of your mind?" Ye Haochuan was utterly speechless.

He had made his point clear, yet this guy still assumed he would pursue the cloaked figure. There was no reasoning with him.

Dealing with someone so unreasonable, Ye Haochuan didn’t want to waste time at all, put away the Halberd of Heaven and Earth, and walked away.

"I will get Miss Mu Xiang, for sure!"

Ye Haochuan had walked not far when he suddenly heard a roar from behind.

"Definitely a madman!" Ye Haochuan cursed silently, continuing on without turning back.

Back in his room, Ye Haochuan recalled what the cloaked Mu Xiang said before leaving, feeling uneasy.

But it had been so long now, likely Mu Xiang had told the Director whatever was needed. Since it couldn’t be prevented, he could only silently wait for what would happen next.

Whatever comes his way, he’d deal with it. No matter what, he wouldn’t marry such an ugly woman.

After a whole day of anxious waiting, finally, someone knocked on the door again.

"Mr. Ye, the Director says everything is ready. Please bring the two Kirin guests over!"

Ye Haochuan instinctively thought the person was there to talk about Mu Xiang but felt relieved hearing the latter part.

It seems the Director is ready to start the alchemy process.

Though it seemed sudden, Ye Haochuan was quite pleased.

Quickly finishing the matters with Yinfeng and the Ice Jade Kirin, he could leave without worries. Whatever promised exchanges, escape first, deal with it later.

Led by the person, Ye Haochuan brought the Ice Jade Kirin and Yinfeng-inhabited jade token, arriving once more at the underground palace.

Walking through the underground palace for a while, they finally reached a grand hall.

Inside the grand hall, a dozen people had gathered, all cultivation levels at Immortal Transformation Late Stage or above, appearing to be the elites of the Sky Hunting Association.

Among them were the Steel Beard man and Dennis.

The Steel Beard man was visibly startled seeing Ye Haochuan arrive unharmed, then looked at Dennis in surprise, only to find Dennis was also looking at Ye Haochuan with a complex expression.

"What’s going on? Could it be even Dennis isn’t his match? Impossible, absolutely impossible..." Various thoughts clashed rapidly in the Steel Beard man’s mind.

Ye Haochuan wasn’t aware his appearance stirred some waves among the crowd. At that moment, he silently watched the short cloaked figure beside the Director, his gaze complicated.

He didn’t know if Mu Xiang told the Director about that matter, and if so, how the Director might react?

"Let me introduce, this is the newly added guest elder of our Sky Hunting Association, Ye Haochuan!" the Director briefly introduced Ye Haochuan to the gathering.

Most people had already heard about Ye Haochuan, but seeing him in person was still surprising.

There was no helping it; the Immortal Transformation Mid-Stage strength of Ye Haochuan seemed unimpressive to everyone present.

Afterwards, the Director formally introduced everyone in attendance to Ye Haochuan.

It was then that Ye Haochuan learned Dennis’s name, and that the beautiful woman was named Xu Linglan, while the Steel Beard man was named Dolly.

But the most surprising was the full name of the cloaked figure.

"Pan Muxiang? A Chinese name? And what’s with that surname?" Ye Haochuan felt a surge of confusion.

He originally assumed Mu Xiang was an English name transliteration. Unexpectedly, this guy’s father was clearly Caucasian, yet he had a Chinese name.

If she took her mother’s surname, then that beautiful woman was named Xu; she wasn’t named Pan either.

Ye Haochuan sharply sensed that the family relationship of the Director’s family wasn’t as simple as it appeared.

With the introductions done, the Director invited Ye Haochuan to stand on the left side, then said loudly, "Alright, the Kirin is here. Dennis, you may begin!" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"This guy is an alchemist?" Ye Haochuan now noticed Dennis’s location, in the center of the grand hall, with a large black cauldron before him.

It was Ye Haochuan’s first time seeing alchemy done with such a large cauldron.

However, recalling Dennis’s ethnicity, he became less surprised.

It seemed this was a unique alchemy method of Caucasians. He just didn’t know how effective such a method would be for the resulting pill.

Just as Ye Haochuan prepared to closely observe the Caucasian alchemy technique, he heard Dennis suddenly raise his head and state loudly, "Director, before I start alchemy, I have a small request. I hope the Director will permit it!"
