Nether Gate Gorge was the deepest gorge in the mountain range surrounding Cloud Pool City.
The gorge went deep into a ten-thousand-meter-tall mountain. It was as though a mighty figure's saber had slashed the mountain out of nowhere. The gorge was thousands of meters deep and in the deepest part of the gorge, due to the compression of the mountains on both sides, even the moonlight and starlight were blocked. It could be said that one could not even see their outstretched fingers.
This was truly a good place to kill and plunder. Yi Yun had such a thought when he came to the gorge.
"The Yin aura here is a little heavy …"
As Yi Yun spoke, he slowly turned his head and looked out of the gorge. In the vast night, more than ten figures slowly appeared. They were light and silent as they flew over like ghosts.
In just a few seconds, these figures landed on the ground about a hundred feet away from Yi Yun.
The person leading them was none other than Su Boyang!
Beside Su Boyang was a middle-aged man and a young woman with a beautiful figure.
Yi Yun sensed an even more powerful aura from the middle-aged man and woman. Although they appeared to be led by Su Boyang from where they stood, Yi Yun knew that their strength was above Su Boyang's!
Yi Yun knew that not every alchemist was adept at combat. Studying alchemy would take up a lot of time and effort. And if the Pillheart Sect wanted to establish itself in the Sinkhole, it needed martial strength. As such, the Pillheart Sect would have Elders who did not know alchemy but focused on improving their combat strength. The two in front of him were probably such people.
Behind the middle-aged man and woman were a few youths. Su Muyan was one of them.
At that moment, Su Muyan looked at Yi Yun and revealed a delighted smile.
"Did you choose this place as your grave? The Yin aura here is heavy. It's the best place to rest! "
Su Muyan had been holding a grudge against Yi Yun because of Manager Su's severe punishment by the sect. In addition, he had been completely crushed by Yi Yun's wealth at the auction. It made him feel like he was a clown that had jumped out to make a joke. He had long hated Yi Yun and today, he finally had a chance to seek revenge.
"You want to escape Cloud Pool City in the night? You're too naive. You don't know that Martial Uncle Bo Yang has placed a tracking mark on you. Your every move is in our grasp. Even if you use the teleportation array to leave, we can still break through the spatial channel and capture you! Martial Uncle Boyang, why don't you let us deal with him? There's no need to use a sledgehammer to kill a chicken. All you need to do is control the situation and prevent the other forces from stealing the chicken. "
Behind Su Muyan, a few youths were rubbing their fists as they watched Yi Yun. They could not stand Yi Yun's arrogance and wished to cripple him.
Su Boyang pondered slightly. The operation was of great importance. If the heritage Yi Yun obtained was truly related to that person, and if he could even find the precious cauldron from Yi Yun, he would definitely have rendered a meritorious service. He might even become the next sect master of the Pillheart Sect.
Su Boyang originally planned on taking action himself to prevent any accidents from happening. However, during his flight, he had been constantly scanning his surroundings with his perception. Indeed, no faction was foolish enough to try snatching food from the Pillheart Sect.
As such, letting his juniors kill Yi Yun would allow them to feel more at ease and build their confidence.
"Elder Wang, this little bastard is not simple. Watch from here. As long as his strength surpasses Disciple-Nephew Muyan, use Purplish Nether Sand to cripple one of his arms or legs. That way, it will be foolproof."
Su Boyang did not use a Yuan Qi voice transmission. Instead, he spoke directly in front of Yi Yun.
"Of course!" The middle-aged man licked his lips. His skin was dark and he only had a pair of fangs in the dark. "I'll set up a massive array here. I guarantee that he won't be able to escape even if he grows wings. When the time comes, Disciple-Nephew Muyan will be like a turtle in a jar."
As the middle-aged man spoke, he waved his hand. More than ten array flags flew out of his interspatial ring and flew in every direction in the valley.
The woman beside him was not idle either. With a coquettish chuckle, she took out a black ghost banner. "Disciple-Nephew Muyan, don't injure that punk's soul sea. It's best if you leave him alive. Cripple his dantian and all his meridians. In a while, I'll be sucking his soul into the ghost banner and slowly searching it. Searching the memories of a living person's soul is the most complete. "
This young woman was beautiful, but there were faint red ghost tattoos on her face. She was proficient in the art of controlling ghosts, and she also knew secret soul arts. Extracting souls and refining marrows, reading memories, and so on were her specialties.
This was also the reason why the Pillheart Sect had brought the woman along. They wanted to search Yi Yun's heritage's origins through a soul search. If the ruins were still around, they could get the sect's experts to search for it. In the eyes of the Pillheart Sect, Yi Yun was a walking treasure trove.
"Don't worry!" Su Muyan smiled as he took out a spear from his interspatial ring. Beside him were two young Pillheart Sect juniors that worked together with Su Muyan. They formed a triangular formation.
"Weng!"
Just at this moment, the formation flags that the middle-aged man had thrown out earlier emitted a dazzling golden glow. One by one, the formation flags floated up into the air. The entire canyon was sealed by the formation, forming an independent world.
The middle-aged man did not sit idle either. He took out a black bead from his interspatial ring and aimed it at Yi Yun's ankle. As long as Yi Yun had any chance of injuring Su Muyan, he would throw the black bead in his hand and shatter Yi Yun's foot.
"Hahahaha!" Su Muyan laughed maniacally as he leaped up. "Do you hate fate for being unfair? To think that someone like you dares to encroach on my Pillheart Sect's heritage. Die! "
Su Muyan's body burned with surging golden flames. His spear swept through the golden flames, forming a dancing golden dragon that charged straight at Yi Yun!
But at that instant —
"Whew!"
The black bead in the middle-aged man's hand suddenly flew out. He was alarmed. He had not thrown the black bead at all!
What was happening?
While he was in a daze, he heard "Peng! Peng! Peng! " A series of explosions resounded as the golden array flags floating around the valley were penetrated by the black bead and exploded!
"Elder Wang, what are you doing?"
Elder Su looked at the middle-aged man in puzzlement. The middle-aged man was completely dumbfounded. The bead in his hand had spontaneously destroyed his array flags? Ignoring the incredulity, just the array he had set up was an ancient array he had obtained from an ancient ruin. How could it be destroyed so easily?
Could someone have secretly taken action? But even a Royal Sealed Divine Lord should not have such strength, right?
Just as Elder Su and the dark-faced middle-aged man were stunned by the sudden turn of events, Su Muyan, who was fully focused on the battle, had already charged in front of Yi Yun. With the sect Elders protecting him, he had nothing to fear. He only attacked with his spear without any form of defense, stabbing straight at Yi Yun's face!
Golden flames surged out, melting a five-thousand-kilogram boulder into lava!
"Pa!"
With a metallic hum, a hand reached out from the golden flames and firmly grabbed the golden spear's tip!
The hand seemed to be forged from divine metal that weighed billions of kilograms. It held the spear in place, preventing it from moving at all!
"Wh … What?"
Su Muyan was completely dumbfounded. He looked at the hand and saw the golden flames recede. The person who had extended his hand was none other than Yi Yun!
The spear tip was enveloped in golden flames, but it failed to injure the hand at all. At that moment, an immense force surged out of the spear. Su Muyan was suddenly thrown to the ground by Yi Yun with the spear in his hand.
"Ka-cha!"
The ground cracked as Su Muyan fell to the ground in a daze. His mind went blank from the impact.
"Elder Wang, I …"
Su Muyan never expected that Yi Yun would receive his spear with one hand. More importantly, Elder Wang had yet to make a move.
"Puah!"
Su Muyan felt his chest heat up as he felt an excruciating pain. He watched helplessly as the golden spear that was supposed to be his penetrated his chest. His lungs were being torn apart.
What had pierced his body was not the spear's tip but the spear's shaft!
Under the immense force, the spear's shaft was no different from the spear's tip. In fact, due to the spear's shaft being too thick, the damage it caused was even greater!
The immense pain left Su Muyan's face pale. His lungs were severely damaged, making it nearly impossible for him to breathe.
Following that, the spear slowly rose up, lifting Su Muyan's crippled body up as well.
Yi Yun raised the spear's tip with one hand, impaling Su Muyan on the spear's shaft and raising him in midair.
He slowly said, "I chose this canyon not to be my grave, but to be your grave."
Everything happened in a split second. It was so fast that no one could react in time. Only when Yi Yun said those words did the Pillheart Sect disciples suddenly feel a deep chill.
What had happened!?
"Who destroyed my array!?"
The dark-skinned middle-aged man said in a deep voice. It must have been done by an expert in secret.
Of course, Yi Yun's strength far exceeded their imaginations.
They had imagined that Su Muyan might not be Yi Yun's match, but they never expected the difference in strength between the two to be so great.
At that moment, a short figure appeared out of thin air behind Yi Yun.
The person was dressed in ordinary clothes and his hair was disheveled. There was an alcohol calabash hanging by his waist and his foundation looked ordinary. He did not look like an expert at all.
Upon seeing the person appear, Su Boyang's expression changed. He had repeatedly probed his surroundings with his perception but failed to discover anything out of the ordinary. As an alchemist, Su Boyang was extremely confident in the strength of his perception. However, he had completely overlooked the elder's existence.
Even now, with the elder standing in front of him, he found it difficult to detect him with his perception!
"Who … Who are you?"
Su Boyang asked in a deep voice. He was already feeling a deep sense of fear.
The elder ignored Su Boyang completely. He was playing with a black bead in his hand. It was something he had just obtained.
He turned back to look at Yi Yun and said languidly, "Did you call me over from the Calm Sea in such a hurry to deal with these nobodies?"
Yi Yun and Old Snake had a way to communicate. Long before the auction began, Yi Yun had informed Old Snake.
