After True Lord Seven Kills made the announcement, all the warriors present began stirring. They had guessed that Yi Yun would not be easy to deal with. But with so many people present and with the help of the Celestial Guards, Yi Yun was definitely at a dead end.
Especially when they saw True Lord Seven Kills take out a red jade box. According to the pills that the Pillheart Sect usually sold, the red jade box contained Spirit Enlightening Pills that could allow a Supremacy to break through a subrealm.
"All of you should recognize these pills. There are a total of ten Spirit Enlightening Pills inside. As long as one contributes, I, Seven Kills, will definitely reward them generously! However, Yi Yun's heritage belongs to our Pillheart Sect. We have to take it back. The Pillheart Sect's alchemy heritage is hundreds of millions of years old. Due to the long passage of time, it was unfortunately lost along the way. This little bastard obtained it and not only did he refuse to return it, he even used our Pillheart Sect's heritage to swindle others and flaunt his prowess. He even schemed to kill our Pillheart Sect's experts and framed him. If I don't kill him, there's no way I can appease the hatred in me! "
True Lord Seven Kills's voice reverberated. Many people felt excited when they saw the Spirit Enlightening Pills appear.
"It's actually the Spirit Enlightening Pills. Granny, I also want to take action."
Su Yushi looked at Yi Yun and felt an urge. Although he was definitely no match for the expert protecting Yi Yun, he could deal with Yi Yun if the expert was held back.
Tigercamel Mountain was not strong, resulting in a lack of resources. Su Yushi always believed that if he had the support of better resources, he could become the number one genius of the Heavenly South Great World. The ten Spirit Enlightening Pills tempted him greatly. Even in the Pillheart Sect, they were extremely precious pills.
"Alright. Be careful. Don't hurt yourself," said the gray-haired woman.
"Don't worry. I'm only dealing with Yi Yun. There won't be any danger." Su Yushi stared at Yi Yun as though he was his prey.
The battle was imminent. As long as one person made the first move, what followed would be a storm-like barrage of attacks. Many people were waiting. Xia Zijian had a teasing smile on his face. Although he would not take action, he was happy to see Yi Yun suffer a tragic end.
The corners of his mouth curled up as he looked at Jing Yuesha. He said derisively, "Junior Sister Yuesha, why are you still standing behind that punk? Do you want to accompany him in death?"
"Hmph, none of your business!" Jing Yuesha was infuriated. In fact, she had already received a Yuan Qi voice transmission from Yi Yun. He instructed her to approach Yi Yun and not resist. Jing Yuesha did not know what Yi Yun was up to, but she chose to believe in him after he had created so many miracles.
At this moment, many people had already begun to condense their Yuan Qi. Some people were gradually approaching Yi Yun, and just as they were about to attack, a strange energy fluctuation suddenly came from afar.
Hmm? This is …
This energy fluctuation seemed to originate from a faintly discernible heavenly kingdom, imperceptibly cleansing people's souls.
Who is it!?
Some people looked towards the horizon, and their hearts were immediately shaken. They saw a huge city of darkness floating in the sky above the mountain ridge in the distance!
A city was flying in mid-air?
This city was so huge that it cast a heavy shadow on the mountain ridge. The city was full of spires, and the spires were flashing with ancient black light. One could vaguely hear the howls of ancient demonic beasts.
When the black city flew closer, people could see that there was a huge eye totem on the side of the city's spires. Within this eye, there were eight smaller eyes.
"Nine-eye totem, it's the Nine Li Magus Empire!"
The Nine Li Magus Empire was an extremely mysterious country in the Heavenly South Great World. It spanned a land area of five thousand kilometers, and compared to the Heavenly South Great World, it was like a drop in the ocean. But such a tiny country was one of the three divine empires of the Heavenly South Great World, along with the Divine Empire of Thunder and the Outcloud Empire.
Although the three countries were ranked together, the Outcloud Empire and Divine Empire of Thunder knew that they were incomparable to the Nine Li Magus Empire.
The Nine Li Magus Empire's history was far older than the Divine Empire of Thunder and the Outcloud Empire. Over the years, the top factions in the Heavenly South Great World would always change. At times, there would be three major factions, and at other times, there would be four. However, the Nine Li Magus Empire always occupied one of the three major factions.
The Nine Li Magus Empire kept an extremely low profile and did not engage in hegemony. However, no one dared to ignore them. In history, any Heavenly South faction that waged war against the Nine Li Magus Empire would be defeated without exception. They would then vanish without a trace.
Rumor had it that the Nine Li Magus Empire was the descendant of an ancient mystic race. However, it was unknown which race they inherited their heritage from.
"Why is it people from the Nine Li Magus Empire? They seldom participate in the Heavenly South Peaks Meet. Even if they do, they would only participate in an exchange meet. Now that the exchange meet has long ended, they have no interest in the tournament. What's going on today …"
King Yi was taken aback. In fact, he did not like the appearance of people from the Nine Li Magus Empire regardless of the Heavenly South Peaks Meet. It was because the Nine Li Magus Empire was too mysterious and powerful. It was completely beyond his control.
Especially now, when they were about to split the heritage Yi Yun had, he did not wish to see the Nine Li Magus Empire.
Elder Seven Kills frowned as well. The Nine Li Magus Empire usually secluded itself from the outside world. They had set up a massive array around the Nine Li Magus Empire that was constantly activated, sealing off the entire empire. The people of the Nine Li Magus Empire seldom ventured out and others were forbidden from entering. This allowed the Nine Li Magus Empire to mind their own business with the Heavenly South Great World. They seemed to have been forgotten by everyone. Why would they suddenly appear today?
Could it be that they were trying to snatch food from the jaws of a tiger? If that was the case, his Pillheart Sect had no chance of winning.
"Perfect Lord, don't worry. The Nine Li Magus Empire does not have any alchemical heritage. That is a publicly acknowledged fact in the Heavenly South Great World. They occasionally participate in the Heavenly South Peaks Meet's exchange meet to purchase pills. Their clansmen are likely not adept at alchemical refinement, nor would they be interested in the heritage Yi Yun has."
A Pillheart Sect Elder beside Elder Seven Kills said. Elder Seven Kills nodded. "Let's hope so."
Although he said so, Elder Seven Kills could not relax as he watched the massive city's shadow approach. The feeling of not being in control of the situation was terrible. "Keep a close eye on Yi Yun. Don't let him escape during the chaos."
As Elder Seven Kills spoke, the massive city floated above Cloud Pool City. One end of the city slowly sank into Cloud Pool City's protective array. What happened next made everyone draw a cold gasp.
The protective array that the Outcloud Empire had spent a great deal of resources to build was like water. It stirred as the tenebrous city entered, but it did not cause any substantial obstruction to the city.
"How … How …" King Yi stared with widened eyes. As the overlord of Cloud Pool City, he knew how powerful the protective array was. He had invested a great deal of wealth in the maintenance of the array over the years. Even five or six Divine Lords would find it difficult to penetrate the array. How did the Nine Li Magus Empire enter?
Old Snake was watching in secret as well. The scene made him narrow his eyes slightly. "It looks like I have underestimated the Heavenly South Great World. The worlds in the Sinkhole with long histories are not to be underestimated …"
Old Snake muttered to himself. He thought nothing of the Pillheart Sect but the Nine Li Magus Empire made him take it seriously.
The tenebrous city finally stopped a thousand feet above the central square. A few figures appeared at the bottom of the city as they slowly flew down.
Leading them was an elder. He was thin and swarthy. His face was like a dry black walnut and his arms were like chicken claws. His grayish-white hair was tied into a long braid that hung neatly behind his head, reaching all the way to his waist.
Behind the elder was a man and a woman. The man was a middle-aged man with an indifferent expression. As for the woman, she was dressed in tight-fitting clothes. Her exposed arms and ankles were wrapped tightly in white cloth. She had an excellent figure but her face was not pretty. In fact, it could be said that she was a little ugly.
The trio's arrival caused the atmosphere to tense up. Many a time, the unknown was enough to instill fear in people. Furthermore, the other party was extremely powerful.
King Yi's brows pricked up as he forced a smile. "I never expected that the distinguished guests of the Nine Li Magus Empire would grace the Heavenly South Peaks Meet organized by the Outcloud Empire. It's truly an honor to have you here!"
King Yi held back his depressed feelings as he tried his best to speak politely.
"Nice to meet you."
The leading elder nodded at King Yi as a form of reciprocation. After saying those two words, he no longer paid attention to King Yi. His gaze swept the crowd before finally landing on Yi Yun.
The elder did not seem to know King Yi's identity, nor did he have any intention of finding out. This made the smile on King Yi's face stiffen. He felt as though he had been given the cold shoulder. Instantly, his expression turned nasty. As the overlord of Cloud Pool City, when had he ever been given the cold shoulder?
"Might I know why the Nine Li Magus Empire is here in Cloud Pool City?"
Upon noticing the elder's gaze, Elder Seven Kills's expression turned uglier. He had a fiery temper so even though the other party was the Nine Li Magus Empire, he did not wish to engage in pleasantries. He went straight to the point.
The elder smiled and said, "I heard that something interesting happened in the Heavenly South Great World recently. There was a very interesting youth that I came for …"
With that said, the elder continued looking at Yi Yun. "My young friend, I believe you are Yi Yun?"
