"Senior Brother, what's going on …"
Beside Yi Yun, the other Heavenly Pivot Chapter disciples were dumbfounded. They had seen the might of the cornerstone sword. It was truly a rainbow of sword Qi that was unstoppable. But today, the Heavenly Pivot Sword seemed to be malfunctioning. It was completely ineffective.
"What's the origin of the sword in Yi Yun's hand?"
The Heavenly Pivot Chapter disciples were no fools. When they came to their senses, they realized that it was probably because of Mirage Snow. However, what grade of sword was it that could repress the Heavenly Pivot Sword, preventing it from releasing a single wisp of sword Qi?
Xia Zijian's face flushed red when he saw the sword in Yi Yun's hand. It was too embarrassing. Not only were his alchemical skills and knowledge inferior to Yi Yun's, but his greatest pride — the Heavenly Pivot Sword — had been completely crushed by Yi Yun. Furthermore, it had been done in front of girls his age like Jing Yuesha. It made the proud Xia Zijian yearn to immediately slay Yi Yun.
"How a sword is is not only dependent on the sword itself but also the person using it …" Nearby, Jing Yueyin said slowly. Her voice wasn't loud but everyone present heard her clearly.
Although the Heavenly Pivot Chapter's abandonment of Yi Yun was not exactly honorable, it was understandable. However, Xia Zijian should not have come in front of Yi Yun to make sarcastic remarks and flaunt his sect's heritage. Jing Yueyin, who usually kept a low profile, could not help but speak up for Yi Yun. From her point of view, Yi Yun was alone and was being pursued by the Pillheart Sect. He was naturally the weaker party.
"I …" Upon hearing Jing Yueyin add insult to injury, Xia Zijian felt aggrieved. If anyone else had said that, he would have long retorted. However, it was Jing Yueyin. Her strength and seniority far exceeded his. What else could Xia Zijian say?
At that moment, a rather staid voice sounded. "Clear Lunar Island Lord, since when did you have the mood to educate your sect's juniors on my behalf?"
Yi Yun glanced over and saw that the person was none other than Ren Yunzong.
After parting ways with Yi Yun, Ren Yunzong had fallen out with the Clear Lunar Island due to its obvious bias towards Yi Yun. As a result, Ren Yunzong no longer spoke politely to Jing Yueyin.
Ren Yunzong did not come alone. Beside him was an old acquaintance of Yi Yun's, as well as a gray-robed man.
The familiar person was none other than Prince Boundless Heaven. Yi Yun never expected Prince Boundless Heaven to know Ren Yunzong.
As for the gray-clothed man beside Prince Boundless Heaven, his skin was dark yellow and he looked extremely ordinary. In addition to his inconspicuous attire, he was the kind of person that would be impossible to find once he entered a crowd. Not only that, his aura was extremely concealed. If not for the Purple Crystal's energy vision, Yi Yun would not have been able to distinguish him from a mortal.
However, Yi Yun was certain that the gray-clothed man was not very strong. He was likely at the beginning stages of the Supremacy realm and he was not very old either. His ability to hide his aura stemmed from a mystic technique.
"Young Master Yi, these are people from the Dao Calamity Tower. Be careful of them."
Jing Yuesha transmitted her voice into Yi Yun's ear.
"Dao Calamity Tower?" Yi Yun had never heard of the name before.
"This person has the symbol of the Dao Calamity Tower on his chest. The Dao Calamity Tower is a faction in the Emperor Ridge Great World. When I traveled the Heavenly South Great World, I once learned about them. They only have a weak branch in the Heavenly South Great World but due to the existence of their headquarters, they are not to be underestimated."
"I see …" Yi Yun nodded. The Sinkhole was just too huge. All sorts of major factions intersected with one another.
"The Dao Calamity Tower does not have a good reputation. They only set foot in the Heavenly South Great World in the past million years. In order to develop themselves, they have annexed many small sects. Many of them have even been wiped out by them …"
Jing Yuesha knew a lot of insider information that helped Yi Yun greatly.
"Yi Yun, what a coincidence. We meet again." The first person to speak was Prince Boundless Heaven. When he saw Yi Yun, his eyes revealed an indistinct look of disgust. However, he quickly concealed it.
"It's probably not a coincidence. Why? Are you here for revenge? " Yi Yun said languidly. A warrior's psyche was powerful. With Prince Boundless Heaven following Ren Yunzong here, no one would believe that it was a coincidence. He was most likely here for Yi Yun.
"Revenge?" Prince Boundless Heaven frowned. Clearly, he felt that Yi Yun's words were lowering his status. "Hmph, a figure like you is not worth my time!"
Prince Boundless Heaven said coldly. His voice was extremely arrogant. "If not for Brother Pingyun wanting to meet you, I wouldn't even be bothered to say another word to you."
As Prince Boundless Heaven spoke, the gray-robed man behind him walked forward. He had a beaming smile on his face. "Prince Boundless Heaven, calm down. Young Master Yi, there's no need to argue. I'm Chu Pingyun. I heard that Young Master Yi has extraordinary attainments in alchemy. You even casually produced a Godly Monarch Immortal Annulus at the auction. You are truly a young hero. I've heard a lot about you! I've heard a lot about you! "
The gray-robed man cupped his fists and said.
Yi Yun also cupped his fists. Although the man had come with Prince Boundless Heaven, it was not right to smack a smiling person. Yi Yun did not want to be rude.
"Brother Chu, do you have any advice for me?"
"I wouldn't dare call it advice. I'm here to give Young Master Yi an opportunity for survival!"
"Survival?" Yi Yun pricked up his brows as he looked at Chu Pingyun.
"That's right!" Chu Pingyun nodded indifferently. "Brother Yi, everyone knows that the Pillheart Sect is pursuing you. In fact, the Pillheart Sect is only pursuing you for the sake of profit. That's because you have heritage that the Pillheart Sect wants. If you do not have it on you, the Pillheart Sect will not be able to do anything to you."
Upon hearing Chu Pingyun's words, Yi Yun stroked his chin. "What are you trying to say?"
"Simple. As long as you sell the cauldron and the ancient alchemy heritage to my Dao Calamity Overseer, we will naturally announce the news. When that happens, the Pillheart Sect will target our Dao Calamity Overseer. Our Dao Calamity Overseer can bear the brunt of it all!"
"When the Pillheart Sect starts fighting us, they will naturally have no time to care about you. When that happens, my Dao Calamity Overseer will send a group of experts to escort you back to the Calm Sea Great World. I guarantee that nothing will go wrong!"
Chu Pingyun spoke frankly with assurance. Yi Yun chuckled inwardly. It was no wonder Chu Pingyun came to him for a chat and even greeted him with a smile. So he had such intentions. They wanted to obtain the treasures on him ahead of time and snatch food from the tiger's mouth before the Pillheart Sect did!
Calling it a trade was just a euphemism. As for escorting him back to the Calm Sea Great World, Yi Yun had no hopes of that.
Yi Yun was originally wondering if the Pillheart Sect's aggressive stance had truly awed all the major factions. Now, from the looks of it, the Pillheart Sect was indeed not that powerful. Furthermore, Chu Pingyun had mentioned the cauldron the moment he spoke. It was likely that he had already sensed something. Even if he did not know that Yi Yun had the divine alchemist's heritage, he could tell that it was no trifling matter.
"How much Spirit Jade do you plan on offering?" asked Yi Yun with a faint smile.
Chu Pingyun raised two fingers. "Two Godly Monarch Immortal Annuli!"
The price sounded rather high. Although anyone with a discerning eye knew that two Godly Monarch Immortal Annuli was far from the value of the heritage in Yi Yun's possession, it was still a matter of profiteering from a burning house. No one expected a fair trade.
But at that moment, Yi Yun suddenly heard a voice in his mind. It came from Ling Xie'er —
"Brother Yi, this person is bad. Although he is smiling, he wants to kill you deep down."
"Oh?" Yi Yun was taken aback. Killing intent was something that a shrewd person could usually conceal very well. For example, Chu Pingyun in front of him. Although Yi Yun could sense that there was a dagger hidden in his smile, he could not be certain that he had given birth to killing intent. However, Ling Xie'er could clearly sense it.
"Xie'er, don't worry. I never believed him to begin with," said Yi Yun calmly.
From the looks of it, Chu Pingyun did not even plan on using the Spirit Jade needed to purchase the heritage. Instead, he wanted to scam Yi Yun out of his possession before killing him!
