Zhu Mu Ci, Zhu Yuan, and Zhu Lie smiled when they saw Yun Kun making his move.
At this moment, it was as though they could already see the scene of the young man being killed.
However, their smiles froze soon after.
From the moment they started laughing to the moment their smiles froze, everything happened in just a blink of an eye. It was so fast that ordinary people could not even react in time.
The reason their smiles froze was because the scene before their eyes was completely out of their expectations.
Yun Kun made his move furiously. His speed was so fast that even the three of them could not catch a glimpse of it. However, in just a blink of an eye, Yun Kun's figure that had disappeared from their sight appeared again as a sword cry reverberated in the air.
However, Yun Kun's figure appeared in a different way.
To be more precise, Yun Kun's body that appeared before their eyes was split into two from top to bottom.
After a while, a dazzling stream of blood spurted out.
"This …"
Upon seeing this, Zhu Mu Ci and the other two were dumbfounded.
Yun Kun who was extremely powerful in their eyes was killed in just one move?
At the same time, Bai Li Hong could not help but sigh in relief when he saw Yun Kun was dead. His eyes were filled with shock as he looked at Duan Lingtian.
The progress of his junior brother's cultivation base was so fast that he was almost numb to it.
A powerhouse at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage was killed by him in just one move.
In other words, with the help of that powerful sword, his Junior Brother's attack was comparable to the attack of a Great Saint Stage powerhouse!
Only an Eminent Saint Stage powerhouse would be able to kill Yun Kun who was at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage in just one move.
In fact, Yun Kun was a disciple from a quasi third-rate force. Apart from having a powerful cultivation base, his technique was definitely not simple. He might not be the best among the Martial and Dao Cultivators at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage, but he was definitely stronger than many people.
However, such a person was instantly killed by his junior brother with just one move.
He did not know when his junior brother made his move. He did not even hear the sword cry.
Naturally, he knew the sword cry must have been there. However, it was too short, and his cultivation base was too low, he did not hear it at all.
As it turned out, Bai Li Hong was right.
He did not hear the sword cry, but Zhu Mu Ci and the other two whose cultivation bases were at the Refined Saint Stage heard it. Naturally, Zhu Mu Ci's cultivation base was the highest so she could hear it the clearest.
It was precisely because of this that Zhu Mu Ci's face instantly turned ghastly pale when she saw Yun Kun's corpse falling from the sky. Her body started to tremble involuntarily.
Yun Kun's death was something he had never expected.
His heart trembled when he recalled how he had used his connections to provoke the young man in front of him.
If the heavens gave him another chance, even if he was given a hundred guts, he would not dare to provoke this young man like before.
"Damn it! It was all Yun Kun's fault! If he hadn't sworn that he could take care of the other party, I wouldn't have provoked him like that. "
Thinking of this, Zhu Mu Ci looked at Yun Kun's body that had been split into two and gnashed her teeth in hatred.
"I can't believe I'll be able to cast such a powerful sword strike when I activate the Jasper Celestial Sword with my current Sun True Origin. No matter what, Yun Kun was a disciple from the quasi third-rate force, the Azure Cloud Mansion. His cultivation base was at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage, but he was killed by me in just one strike."
Unknowingly, the dazzling golden light on the Jasper Celestial Sword in Duan Lingtian's hand had completely vanished. Duan Lingtian reached out to stroke the Jasper Celestial Sword gently as he muttered to himself.
Swoosh!
After Duan Lingtian took Yun Kun's Spatial Ring, he shot out like a cannonball and appeared in front of Zhu Mu Ci, Zhu Yuan, and Zhu Lie in just a flash.
At this moment, the three of them had a grave expression on their faces. Fear and terror could be seen in their eyes.
"Why? Are you scared now? "
When Duan Lingtian saw their expressions and gazes, a devilish smile crept up on the corner of his mouth as he mocked them.
"My lord, I, Zhu Mu Ci, have eyes but failed to recognize your greatness. Please forgive me, my lord! With your strength, the Devilseal Tablet will definitely be yours in the end. What a joke! That Yun Kun really thought he was invincible just because he was a disciple from the quasi third-rate force, the Azure Cloud Mansion. Little did he know there's a reclusive expert like you in this world, my lord! "
Zhu Mu Ci said to Duan Lingtian with a flattering expression on his face after he took a deep breath.
At this moment, he no longer looked as majestic as before. He looked like a street boy now.
When Zhu Yuan and Zhu Lie saw the expression on Zhu Mu Ci's face, they could not help but be stunned. This was their first time seeing their Imperial Uncle lose his composure like this. It was as though he was a completely different person.
However, they did not know Zhu Mu Ci was scared out of his wits.
If he did not mock the young man in front of him earlier, perhaps the young man would not have bothered with him with his strength.
However, the problem was he had mocked the young man earlier.
He knew if he was in the young man's shoes, he would not let him go so easily.
In fact, after killing Yun Kun, Duan Lingtian did not plan to do anything to Zhu Mu Ci and the other two. Moreover, he did not take Zhu Mu Ci's words to heart at all.
It was as though he was walking on the street and a dog barked at him. He could not possibly run over and kill it, right?
However, when Duan Lingtian saw Zhu Mu Ci's flattering expression, he could not help but feel disgusted. He raised his hand and casually swung his sword. A sword ray swept across the sky and killed Zhu Mu Ci before he could even react.
Yun Kun who was at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage was killed by his Jasper Celestial Sword.
Let alone an Intermediate Refined Saint Stage Martial Cultivator.
Although he had only casually swung his sword earlier, and the force was far from the sword that killed Yun Kun, it was still not something Zhu Mu Ci could block or react to.
"Imperial Uncle!"
When Zhu Yuan and Zhu Lie saw Zhu Mu Ci had died just like that, horror dawned on them as they cried out in grief.
However, their eyes were bloodshot, and they did not dare to show any signs of hatred.
Who knew if this young man in front of them would also kill them and eliminate them when they were filled with hatred?
Although they really wanted to kill him, they knew they did not have the ability to do so. The only thing they could do now was to try their best not to provoke him. Perhaps, they might be able to save their lives that way.
However, Duan Lingtian did not intend to kill Zhu Yuan and Zhu Lie at all.
Although it was as easy as pie for him to kill Zhu Yuan and Zhu Lie, both of them were Refined Saint Stage powerhouses in the Windfall Nation's Imperial Family after all. If both of them and Zhu Mu Ci died, the Windfall Nation's Imperial Family that no longer had any powerhouses to restrain them would fall into chaos.
If the Windfall Nation's Imperial Family was in chaos, the complicated relationships would spread out. The entire capital and the entire Windfall Nation would be in chaos.
At that time, the Clan Leader of Situ Clan and his son, who were relatives of the Imperial Family, would definitely be implicated, and the Situ Clan would be affected as well.
The Situ Clan was where his family and friends lived. Naturally, he did not want anything to happen to the Situ Clan.
For this reason, he did not kill Zhu Yuan and Zhu Li.
"I'm determined to get the Devilseal Tablet! If I find out that the Windfall Nation's Imperial Family has made a move on Duan Lingtian's companions and alerted him, I'll definitely kill both of you! "
Duan Lingtian glanced at Zhu Yuan and Zhu Li coldly before vanishing into thin air before their eyes.
As for Bai Li Hong, he did not bring him away.
With his disguise, he was a stranger to Bai Li Hong. They did not have much interaction so it was not appropriate for him to bring Bai Li Hong away.
Naturally, Duan Lingtian knew very well that although he had left Bai Li Hong behind, as long as Zhu Yuan, the Windfall Nation's Emperor, was smart, he would not make things difficult for Bai Li Hong anymore.
The truth was just as Duan Lingtian had expected. Bai Li Hong did not encounter any obstructions when he left the Imperial Palace. He returned to the Situ Clan without a hitch.
The entire Situ Clan was in an uproar when they saw Bai Li Hong who was abducted by the Imperial Family's Revered Elder two months ago had returned. In fact, nobody thought Bai Li Hong would be able to return.
Bai Li Hong could either obediently become the exclusive Saint Inscription Master of the Windfall Nation's Imperial Family or die.
In their opinion, Bai Li Hong only had two choices.
However, it did not cross their minds that Bai Li Hong would actually return. This was akin to a sheep escaping from a tiger's den.
"Master Bai Li!"
When the Clan Leader of Situ Clan and his son learned of Bai Li Hong's return, they personally came out to welcome him. Apart from the joy on their faces, there was also a hint of guilt on their faces. They felt guilty for being unable to stop the Imperial Family from taking Bai Li Hong away.
This was especially true for Situ Hang, the Young Master of Situ Clan. When he saw Bai Li Hong had returned, he heaved a long sigh of relief.
He still remembered Master Duan had specifically asked him to take good care of his family and friends before he left.
When Bai Li Hong was taken away, he felt very sorry for Master Duan. He even punished himself by kneeling in front of the wall for more than a month. Now that he saw Bai Li Hong was fine and had even returned to the Situ Clan, he could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
However, after the pleasant surprise, everyone in Situ Clan, including the Clan Leader of Situ Clan, was curious about Bai Li Hong's experience.
In their opinion, it was impossible for the Windfall Nation's Imperial Family to let go of a Four Star Saint Inscription Master so easily.
This could be seen from the fact that Zi Yun, the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect, was severely injured when she went to the Imperial Palace to ask for Bai Li Hong.
"It's a powerhouse who saved me."
Naturally, Bai Li Hong would not tell them the truth. This was also what his Junior Brother, Duan Lingtian, had told him.
"That powerhouse was interested in the Devilseal Tablet in my Junior Brother's possession. However, he was afraid that if something happened to me after I was abducted and tortured by the people from the Imperial Palace, my Junior Brother would be even more cautious and hide himself even deeper. For this reason, he saved me and warned the Windfall Nation's Emperor not to have any ideas about me."
Upon hearing Bai Li Hong's words, Situ Hao, Situ Hang, and the others were shocked.
Even that was possible?
"What an eccentric powerhouse … However, it's fortunate that you met this powerhouse, Master Bai Li. Otherwise, it's impossible for you to return so quickly."
One of the Situ Clan's elders sighed emotionally.
It was impossible for him to return so quickly?
