At this moment, the three of them had already stood up and were standing beside Yi Yun. Their actions and expressions indicated everything. The contract had been established, but no one knew what had happened.
All they saw was that less than two hours ago, Chu Pingyun and company had come to threaten Yi Yun. What happened after that was what happened.
"Young Master Yi, how did this happen?"
Jing Yuesha said in astonishment. Yi Yun coughed dryly. Although he had heard Old Snake's Yuan Qi voice transmission and knew that he would take in the three slaves, he never expected Old Snake to arrange such a high-profile event. He originally believed that it would be fine if he secretly took them in.
Especially …
Yi Yun looked at Prince Boundless Heaven. They were in Cloud Pool City, the territory of the Outcloud Empire. It would be inexcusable to take in a prince.
Upon sensing Yi Yun's gaze, Prince Boundless Heaven had a conflicted look in his eyes. Although the slave mark was domineering, it did not deprive a slave of their self-awareness. Prince Boundless Heaven and Chu Pingyun retained their original personalities and memories.
The duo's hatred for Yi Yun was too deep. They wished they could tear Yi Yun to shreds, but fate made fools of them. They had become Yi Yun's slaves, so the bitterness in their hearts was obvious.
They could only blame themselves for having designs on Yi Yun, hoping to obtain Yi Yun's heritage. If they had known this would happen, they would have regretted it.
At this moment, even Yi Yun felt that he had made them suffer too badly. Hence, seeing the struggle in their eyes, Yi Yun felt pity. "Ahem, even I feel a little embarrassed."
Chu Pingyun smiled bitterly. Although he had self-awareness, he was restrained by the slave mark. No matter how much he hated Yi Yun, he could not express his animosity. "Master, what are you saying? We were forced into a corner by the Pillheart Sect and nearly became their slaves. That outcome might have been worse than this."
"Yi Yun! What did you do to Tianhao! "
At that moment, an aged but authoritative voice sounded. The person who spoke was none other than King Yi!
Prince Boundless Heaven was a member of the royal family. How could a member of the royal family become a slave at the Heavenly South Peaks Meet?
Just as King Yi spoke, another stream of light shot over from the horizon. It was extremely fast and in a blink of an eye, it had arrived at the square.
There were a total of 15 people. After seeing their appearance and attire, everyone present held their breath.
"Seven Slaughter True Monarch!"
"There are also people from the God Slaying Path!"
True Lord Seven Kills was famous in the Heavenly South Great World. He was powerful and bloodthirsty. Although he was not the person-in-charge of the Heavenly South Great World's Pillheart Sect, he was the strongest expert beneath Patriarch Pillheart!
As for the Pillheart Sect's patriarch, it was said that he had sealed himself in Bloodcull Jade. In order to extend his lifespan, he had entered a slumber. He usually did not take action. Therefore, in fact, True Lord Seven Kills was the strongest combat force in the Heavenly South Great World's Pillheart Sect.
Even True Lord Seven Kills had appeared. It was obvious how powerful the Pillheart Sect was. Furthermore, they had hired people from the God Annihilating Way!
"What is the Pillheart Sect doing? Nearly all their experts are here. They even spared no expense to invite people from the God Annihilating Way. Is it all for Yi Yun?"
"He's just a junior. Is there a need to make such a big fuss?"
Everyone was shocked. At this point, the Heavenly South Peaks Meet was no longer as simple as a martial arts competition.
With such a big event happening, many people were eager to watch the show. Some of them even wanted to have a big fight on the spot. Although violence was prohibited in Cloud Pool City, who was True Lord Seven Kills? If he really started a fight here, no one would dare to stop him!
"Yi Yun, well done!" Elder Seven Kills glared at Yi Yun, his eyes filled with killing intent. "You first schemed to kill my Pillheart Sect's Su Boyang, Wang Chongming, Gui Yunji, and a bunch of genius disciples. Then, you framed the Dao Calamity Tower, making my Pillheart Sect and the Dao Calamity Tower fight. Then, you reaped the benefits. Well done! Very well done! "
When Elder Seven Kills said that, everyone present held their breaths. Su Boyang was dead?
The person representing the Pillheart Sect at the Heavenly South Peaks Meet was Su Boyang. As for Su Muyan and the other young elites, they were seeded participants in the martial arts competition. Although they might not clinch the championship, they were bound to obtain dazzling results. People were originally curious why the Pillheart Sect was nowhere to be seen when the meet was about to begin. Now, they knew that they were dead!
In addition, Wang Chongming and Gui Yunji were combat Elders who had made a name for themselves in the Pillheart Sect for many years. Gui Yunji's soul-refining arts were especially chilling. Dying under her hands would be a nightmare. Warriors with low cultivation levels feared Gui Yunji more than they feared True Lord Seven Kills!
A ghost-refinement expert that had reigned supreme in the Heavenly South Great World for tens of thousands of years was dead?
Instantly, everyone was appalled. With so many experts perishing, and with Chu Shanhe becoming a slave, it could be said that the Heavenly South Great World had not seen such a huge change in a thousand years.
And all of this was because of Yi Yun.
"King Yi, I wish that you can uphold justice. This is the Heavenly South Peaks Meet organized by the Outcloud Empire. Yet, such chaos has occurred. I wish that King Yi can join forces with my Pillheart Sect to capture this person!"
True Lord Seven Kills said loudly. Upon hearing that, King Yi's expression sank. As Prince Boundless Heaven had been taken in as a slave, although he had reprimanded Yi Yun, he had to consider the pros and cons if he were to join forces with the Pillheart Sect to deal with Yi Yun.
The Pillheart Sect had gone to such great lengths but failed to gain any advantage. He guessed that Yi Yun had an expert secretly protecting him.
If King Yi were to use his forces stationed in Cloud Pool City to take action, they might end up being used by the Pillheart Sect. If there were no benefits, he would absolutely not do it.
King Yi did not respond as the situation reached a stalemate. True Lord Seven Kills only looked at Yi Yun with a sunken expression. He was guessing the strength of the hidden expert. To be able to take away Chu Shanhe and company under his nose, the person's strength was even higher than his! Furthermore, the person was still hiding in the shadows. True Lord Seven Kills had already scanned the square several times with his perception but failed to discover anything amiss. This made True Lord Seven Kills feel apprehensive, worried that the person would sneak up on him.
And at that moment, Yi Yun, who was in the eye of the storm, was not nervous. Although the situation had developed to this point in time, it was not difficult for him to retreat unscathed.
Once the other party attacked without regard for anything else, the three slaves he had taken in would be able to hold them back for a few seconds. This time was enough for him to use the God Advent Tower to store all the Clear Lunar Island disciples away. Then, Old Snake would tear open space and leave the Heavenly South Great World with them. As for the Unwithering Grass that Old Snake coveted, they could come back for it.
At that moment, True Lord Seven Kills's lips moved slightly as he sent a voice transmission to King Yi. "King Yi, my Pillheart Sect has even better Longevity Extending Pills. If Cloud Pool City is willing to help, I can give a bottle to you. It will extend your life by at least eight thousand years! In addition, there will also be Godly Monarch Immortal Annuli! "
"Oh!?"
Upon hearing True Lord Seven Kills's words, King Yi's turbid eyes emitted a glimmer.
"For real?"
"I can swear on it!"
"Alright!" King Yi took a deep breath. The Longevity Extending Pills were just too tempting for him. He took out a flag.
During the Heavenly South Peaks Meet, the Outcloud Empire would send a massive army to guard Cloud Pool City. And these troops were under King Yi's command!
As King Yi raised the flag in his hand, all of Cloud Pool City's Yuan Qi stirred. The ground quaked gently as divine runes appeared out of thin air and floated into midair, covering the entirety of Cloud Pool City.
"Hu! Hu! Hu!"
A sound that sounded like a dragon flapping its wings resounded in everyone's ears. They looked up and saw that the entire sky had been sealed off by the nomological runes. At that moment, Cloud Pool City seemed to be covered by a gigantic bowl of light.
"It's the city's protective array!"
"Cloud Pool City's protective array has probably not been activated for centuries!"
Everyone shuddered in fear. The Outcloud Empire had been in the Heavenly South Great World for tens of millions of years after all. Over that period of time, the Outcloud Empire had only built two major cities. One was the royal capital and the other was Cloud Pool City. Once Cloud Pool City's array was activated, it would isolate the city from the outside world. No one expected that King Yi would directly activate the city's protective array in order to capture Yi Yun.
Upon seeing this scene, True Lord Seven Kills was very pleased. He looked at Yi Yun as a sinister smile suffused the corners of his mouth. Even if Yi Yun had an expert backing him, he would not be able to do a thing to the city's protective array in a short period of time!
"Immortal Army!"
King Yi bellowed. Rows of golden-armored soldiers appeared from the palaces around the square. They held long spears in their hands and surrounded the square. Their spears shimmered with golden light as they fused with the city's protective array.
At the same time, a few gigantic spirit beasts flew up. These spirit beasts circled the central square and on their backs were commanders of the Immortal Army. They were all Supremacies.
Although each of the ten thousand Immortal Army soldiers was not strong individually, no Divine Lord dared to underestimate them when they formed a massive array!
"Yi Yun, you have violated the rules of my Cloud Pool City. This King will now capture you. If you surrender willingly, This King can spare your life."
King Yi, with the flag in hand, seemed to transform into a different person. His lethargy was swept away and he seemed to transform into a mighty general. No one dared disobey his commands.
"Everyone in the square today, as long as you help my Pillheart Sect and the Outcloud Empire capture Yi Yun, my Pillheart Sect will not mistreat you. My Pillheart Sect will offer a hundred million Spirit Jade and massive amounts of pills as rewards."
At that critical juncture, True Lord Seven Kills spoke. Although he was bloodthirsty, he was not rash. Due to the expert backing Yi Yun, he had to be extremely careful. With a great reward, there would always be bravery. By letting others lead the way, he could avoid the danger of being sneaked up on by the expert.
