At this moment, in Cloud Pool City, the Heavenly South Peaks Meet had yet to begin. The number of people in the square was still increasing.
"Young Master Yi, are you really not considering taking the opportunity to leave the city?"
Jing Yuesha could not help but suggest again. She realized that the Yuan Qi fluctuations from the battle outside had calmed down. She did not know how the Pillheart Sect was doing and whether they had won or lost.
"Leave Cloud Pool City? I'm afraid Junior Sister Yuesha is thinking too much. "
Right at that moment, a light voice was heard. The person who had spoken was Xia Zijian.
Originally, the Heavenly Pivot Chapter did not have much of a feud with Yi Yun. The Heavenly Pivot Chapter only wanted to draw a clear line between themselves and Yi Yun, afraid that they would implicate themselves. However, after Xia Zijian was repeatedly insulted by Yi Yun, Xia Zijian could not wait for Yi Yun to suffer.
"Xia Zijian, what nonsense are you spouting!"
Jing Yuesha said with a frown. The corners of Xia Zijian's mouth curled up slightly. "I'm just speaking the truth. Do you think the Pillheart Sect would not send people to monitor Yi Yun's movements in Cloud Pool City while they are fighting outside? Even if no one is watching them, with so many factions gathered in Cloud Pool City during the Heavenly South Peaks Meet, would they let go of a juicy piece of meat like Yi Yun? "
Xia Zijian didn't mince his words, and many people present heard it.
There were quite a number of people surrounding Xia Zi and Jing Yuesha to begin with. Some of them seemed to have their thoughts read by Xia Zi's Sword Dao as they revealed meaningful smiles.
Among them, there were indeed quite a number of people who were paying attention to Yi Yun's actions. All of them realized that they had probably greatly underestimated the value of Yi Yun's heritage. The Pillheart Sect and the Dao Calamity Tower were all after Yi Yun's heritage. The Pillheart Sect had even come to blows over the matter. It was obvious how much they wanted Yi Yun!
Of course, they also wanted this kind of inheritance. Even if they were not strong enough, they were also considering the possibility of fishing in troubled waters.
Yi Yun was well aware of the intentions of these people. However, it was not convenient for them to make a move at the Cloud Pool City's Heavenly South Peaks Meet.
Yi Yun had previously noticed that a few people's perceptions would sweep past him from time to time. He looked at the owners of these perceptions.
There was a wretched middle-aged man who was half a head shorter than Jing Yuesha, a sickly old man, and a gray-haired old woman with a youth.
This was especially true for the three of them, who had been wandering around here for more than an hour.
"Do the three of you want to get to know me? There's no need to be so reserved. Come up and get to know me."
Yi Yun said with a faint smile.
The trio did not feel embarrassed when Yi Yun saw through them. The wretched-looking middle-aged man revealed a smile that matched his bearing. "We are a little reserved. We can't compare to you, Sect Master Yi. You are so high-profile despite having such a valuable treasure. You even caused the Pillheart Sect to fight you outside the city. Impressive, impressive!"
As for the gray-haired old woman, she only snorted coldly. She was clearly indignant that a junior like Yi Yun had mocked them. "You're about to die, yet you're still trying to win with your tongue. No wonder you did something as stupid as carrying gold through a busy market!"
"May I know your name?" Yi Yun looked at the gray-haired woman and asked lightly.
For some unknown reason, the gray-haired woman's heart skipped a beat when she sensed Yi Yun's gaze. However, she quickly sneered and said, "Why? You still want to take revenge on me? Take care of your own life first. You are about to die, so you don't need to know my name. "
Upon hearing the gray-haired woman's words, Yi Yun laughed. He looked at the youth behind the gray-haired woman who was looking back at him coldly. His eyes were filled with disdain.
The youth was clearly here to participate in the Heavenly South Peaks Meet. He was likely the gray-haired woman's disciple or nephew.
"This gray-haired woman is from Tigercamel Mountain. It's not a very powerful faction."
At that moment, Jing Yuesha whispered into Yi Yun's ear.
"Oh? You know that too? "Yi Yun was astonished. Jing Yuesha was able to recognize him despite him not wearing any sect attire.
"I know that youth. His name is Su Yushi. He's an extremely famous genius. Tigercamel Mountain wasn't strong to begin with but Su Yushi is too powerful. He's invincible within his realm, giving him such fame. Su Yushi must have been preparing for a long time for the Heavenly South Peaks Meet. He will definitely shine brilliantly."
"So that's the reason." Yi Yun understood. It was no wonder the youth's eyes were filled with disdain. He was a genius.
Yi Yun sensed his cultivation realm. He was only at the sixth-storey Dao Palace, two storeys lower than him. From the looks of it, he was young.
At this moment, Su Yushi spoke. He did not use a Yuan Qi voice transmission, but directly said to Yi Yun, "If you were to participate in this Martial Arts Tournament, I will let you know what the difference is. To have heaven-defying opportunities, but to be trash yourself is a waste of God's gifts."
Upon hearing Su Yushi's words, Yi Yun laughed. Before he could say a word, Old Snake's Yuan Qi voice transmission sounded in his ear. "Punk, the old fogeys from the Pillheart Sect have seen through your act of framing the Dao Calamity Tower. They are planning on settling scores with you! They will be arriving at Cloud Pool City soon. Settle it yourself! "
Upon hearing Old Snake's voice transmission, Yi Yun had no interest in wasting his breath on Su Yushi. In fact, it was only a matter of time before the Pillheart Sect exposed his act of framing the Dao Calamity Tower. Since it had already happened, he did not plan on hiding it.
"By the way, I took in a few slaves. Their cultivation levels are too low, so I don't think much of them. I might as well give them to you. They can even support you in front of the Pillheart Sect."
As Old Snake spoke, a stream of light shot over. It ignored the city gates and went straight for the square!
"Who is it?"
There were people guarding the central square. The sudden intrusion made them instantly wary.
But when the stream of light landed, everyone was stunned when they saw the three people enveloped by the light.
They looked extremely wretched. All of them were covered in blood and their clothes were tattered. They had little Yuan Qi left.
Although their faces were covered in blood, the crowd quickly recognized two of the young men. One of them was the leader of the Dao Calamity Tower's younger generation, Chu Pingyun. The other was the Outcloud Empire's Prince Boundless Heaven!
Why were the two of them here? Why were they in such a tragic state?
Before the crowd could think carefully, some of the older experts recognized the last person. It was an elder with a head much larger than the average person. "Wait … Isn't that Chu Shanhe!?"
Although Chu Shanhe looked odd, he was a Divine Lord that had fused with a Royal Seal. He was definitely one of the top experts in the Heavenly South Great World. Apart from the patriarchs of a few top factions, probably no one could do a thing to him in a one-on-one battle.
But Chu Shanhe was also in such a tragic state. What was going on?
Everyone was alarmed. Many people connected it to Yi Yun. Previously, Chu Pingyun and Prince Boundless Heaven were together and had interacted with Yi Yun on the square. They had left after teasing Yi Yun, only to end up in such a tragic state.
"It's actually people from the Dao Calamity Tower. How did this happen …"
The gray-haired woman frowned slightly. The Dao Calamity Tower was a massive entity. Even though it was only a branch in the Heavenly South Great World, it was still something Tigercamel Mountain could not compare with. Furthermore, it was no exaggeration to say that Chu Shanhe alone could wipe out Tigercamel Mountain.
Just as everyone was puzzled, they were astonished to discover that the trio had collectively walked in front of Yi Yun and knelt to the ground!
"What!?"
Everyone was dumbfounded. They found the scene unfolding before them unbelievable. The three of them were princes of the Outcloud Empire and important figures of the Dao Calamity Tower. Any one of them was an existence that could strike awe in the Heavenly South Great World. Why were they kneeling in front of Yi Yun?
Xia Zijian's mouth gaped as though he had seen a ghost. Su Yushi had long wiped away the contempt in his eyes. His eyes were widened for the scene had exceeded his imagination.
As for the gray-haired woman and the other elders, there was no need to mention them. They could ignore Prince Boundless Heaven and Chu Pingyun, but Chu Shanhe was a figure of immense status. Yet, he was kneeling in front of a junior!?
This completely subverted their understanding of the world.
But then, an even more bizarre scene appeared. This scene was too unbelievable, so much so that they didn't even notice it at first.
"Why do I feel like the trio have released their soul seas to resist?"
"How … How is this possible!?"
Everyone was astonished. Releasing one's soul sea to resist was a sign of one's willingness to sign a contract and become a slave. What sort of status did the trio have? Not only were they kneeling on the ground, they were even willing to become slaves?
People found it unbelievable. And at that moment, Yi Yun had already condensed a soul mark ahead of time. At the instant the trio released their soul seas to resist, he had planted the soul mark in their minds. With Old Snake's psyche mark shielding them, there was no need to worry that the slaves would be snatched away.
And up to that moment, many people had yet to react.
"Yi Yun … he took in the trio as slaves!?"
