With his soul slave sealed, how could Yi Yun be Zhu Ningxie's match? He had already left his name on the Ancient Ruins world's World Monolith a hundred years ago.
If not for the fact that he was in the White Lunar Divine Empire, Zhu Ningxie would have long taken action. Now, with West River Divine Lord, Sacred Horizon Divine Lord, Eclipse Arhat, and other Sinkhole overlords backing him, he did not care about the White Lunar Divine Empire. He represented the wishes of the powerhouses, so who would dare punish him?
"Junior Brother Zhu, why don't you leave Yi Yun to me? My Cloud Shrouding Technique has gained initial mastery, so I would like to test its might."
Mu Yun immediately spoke up when he saw that Zhu Ningxie was about to snatch credit for himself. If he were to capture Yi Yun and reap the benefits, his master would definitely be embarrassed to not share some with him.
The young elites from the various factions were eager to give it a try. However, the Divine Lords seemed to be immobilized. They did not react at all.
"Master, why aren't you giving the order?"
At that moment, Zhu Ningxie also sensed that something was amiss. At that moment, his master, West River Divine Lord, had an ugly expression.
West River Divine Lord's gaze was not focused on Yi Yun. Instead, he looked up at the nearly dissipating figure in the sky.
"This is … the nomological light of a Godly Monarch Royal Seal?" West River Divine Lord muttered to himself. In fact, he was already certain.
"Yes, Master. Yi Yun obtained it from the ancient battlefield. What Yi Yun obtained is more precious than all of us combined. The opportunities in the ancient battlefield are limited. If someone takes more, others will naturally take less. What he did is equivalent to robbing us of our opportunities."
When Zhu Ningxie said that, many people immediately echoed him. As the saying goes, everyone kicks a man who is down. Seeing that Yi Yun was doomed, they looked at Yi Yun with a greedy glint in their eyes.
West River Divine Lord fell silent.
Fire Phoenix! Ice Phoenix!
He had seen the two Godly Monarch Royal Seals very clearly. He already knew where the two Godly Monarch Royal Seals that Yi Yun had presented came from. They were not found in the ancient battlefield, but left behind by Primordial Chaos Daolord and Fire Cloud Divine Lord after their deaths!
It turned out that the Yi Yun that Primordial Chaos Daolord had been searching for in the Fey God Tomb was the same junior that had fooled them in the primeval universe!
Upon coming to this realization, West River Divine Lord felt a sense of horror. Although they knew that the junior from the primeval universe was young, they never imagined that the person was Yi Yun. Yi Yun did not die in the Fey God Tomb, but had entered the primeval universe with them!
How old was Yi Yun!? He had only cultivated for a few hundred years. Even if he used a Time Barrier to compress time, he could only cultivate for two to three thousand years at most.
Given time, Yi Yun would one day become a Godly Monarch! The entire Sinkhole might not even produce a Godly Monarch in a hundred million years, but now, he was about to witness the growth of a future Godly Monarch.
Upon coming to this realization, West River Divine Lord felt extremely bitter. Godly Monarch … was a realm he dreamed of!
For a person like Yi Yun, it was best not to offend him if one could not kill him. Unfortunately, West River Divine Lord had already offended Yi Yun. Back in the primeval universe, he had tried to kill Yi Yun. How was such a grudge to be resolved?
Troublesome!
West River Divine Lord was feeling extremely vexed.
And at that moment, Zhu Ningxie was still jabbering in front of him. "Master, why aren't you giving the order? As long as you say the word, I will … "
"Shut up!"
West River Divine Lord bellowed. Zhu Ningxie felt West River Divine Lord's suppressive might erupt instantly. He found it unbearable as he retreated several steps before barely managing to stabilize his body. Zhu Ningxie was instantly dumbfounded as he looked at West River Divine Lord in a daze.
"Master, I …"
"Immediately return and enter seclusion in Demonic Flame Tower for fifty years. With your cultivation level, don't come out and embarrass yourself!"
As he looked at Yi Yun and then at his disciple, West River Divine Lord was infuriated. Compared to Yi Yun, his disciple was like trash.
And now, West River Divine Lord had no intention of clashing with Yi Yun.
Back in the ancient battlefield, Yi Yun had escaped from the hands of a giant. How could he have the confidence to hold Yi Yun back if he survived the giant's attack? Furthermore, he had witnessed Yi Yun's breakthrough to the Divine Lord realm. Back then, the Primordial Chaos cloud that stirred the entire primeval universe had left a deep impression on West River Divine Lord!
The present Yi Yun could probably be described as unfathomable. The fact that he dared to appear here was proof that he had something to rely on!
Furthermore, Yi Yun had given such a generous gift to the White Lunar Divine Empire. It was likely that he had an ambiguous relationship with the White Lunar Divine Empire.
Since he could not kill Yi Yun, he could only express goodwill to Yi Yun and mend their relationship. This was the only way to prevent Yi Yun from seeking revenge in the future.
Upon coming to this realization, West River Divine Lord's gloomy expression slowly turned sunny. Finally, he revealed an awkward smile that left others baffled …
"What's wrong with West River Divine Lord?" People discussed with Yuan Qi voice transmissions. They were baffled by what they saw.
Furthermore, they realized that Sacred Horizon Divine Lord and Eclipse Arhat had calm expressions. They did not look like they were targeting Yi Yun at all.
"My young friend, I didn't discipline this disciple of mine well. I'll apologize on his behalf for offending you," said West River Divine Lord as he cupped his fists at Yi Yun.
Everyone's eyes almost popped out of their sockets when they heard that.
What was happening!? West River Divine Lord was actually … cupping his fists and apologizing to Yi Yun. Furthermore, his tone was so amiable. Was West River Divine Lord's brain damaged?
"Oh? You didn't discipline him well? " The corners of Yi Yun's mouth curled up slightly. He naturally knew what West River Divine Lord was thinking, but he was a vengeful person. West River Divine Lord wanted to resolve their past grudges? How could it be that easy?
"This disciple of yours is indeed quite irritating. Most importantly, he's a little dumb. It's best you take him back and teach him a lesson. If he does something like that again, he might be smacked to death. Not everyone is as good-tempered as me," said Yi Yun leisurely.
Yi Yun said leisurely. When he said that, Zhu Ningxie nearly vomited blood. As for the surrounding people, their jaws nearly dropped to the ground. They looked at Yi Yun with their mouths agape. Their bodies seemed to petrify as they remained motionless.
The world had gone mad. West River Divine Lord was already apologizing. Given his status as a Sinkhole overlord, he had publicly apologized. Yet, not only did Yi Yun not appreciate it, he even went overboard by saying such words.
Most importantly, he was a little dumb …
Wasn't this equivalent to scolding his master, West River Divine Lord?
One did not smack a smiling person. Yi Yun had smacked a Sinkhole overlord in the face, yet he claimed that he had a good temper?
At that moment, a vein protruded from West River Divine Lord's forehead. He had been utterly humiliated in public, but all he could do was endure it. There was no other way. He had offended Yi Yun first, and now, he was afraid of Yi Yun.
"My young friend …"
"Master! What are you thinking? "Zhu Ningxie was about to go berserk! First, he was reprimanded by his master, and now, he's being insulted in front of his master by Yi Yun. Now, his master is even addressing Yi Yun as my young friend! "
"You arrogant little bastard. Who do you think you are? Who do you think you are? Die!" Zhu Ningxie's eyes were bloodshot as he suddenly threw a punch at Yi Yun.
Yi Yun sneered as he watched Zhu Ningxie's punch come at him. He did not move at all, but at that moment —
"Bam!"
With a boom, West River Divine Lord struck out with his palm, striking Zhu Ningxie in the back. Zhu Ningxie jolted as his body flew hundreds of feet away like a kite with a broken string before crashing heavily to the ground.
"Cough! Cough!"
Zhu Ningxie coughed violently as his throat was filled with blood. He was on the brink of a mental breakdown. Yi Yun, who had constantly insulted him, was completely unscathed. And the person who had severely injured him was his master, West River Divine Lord!
This situation left everyone present speechless. Fairy Yourou felt like her brain was lacking. Could it be that Yi Yun had some sort of background? Why would West River Divine Lord compromise to such an extent?
"Unfilial disciple, I told you to return to seclusion. Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough!?" West River Divine Lord said angrily. He really wished to smack the fool to death. If Zhu Ningxie had not called him over, he could have apologized to Yi Yun in private. Why would he have to embarrass himself in public?
"My young friend, this disciple of mine is insensible. Let's just forget it," said West River Divine Lord as amiably as possible.
West River Divine Lord tried his best to speak in a pleasant manner. He had taken action to protect Zhu Ningxie. If Yi Yun were to take action, Zhu Ningxie would be crippled even if he did not die.
"Your disciple is just a little stupid. I can't be bothered with him, but I still need to settle old scores with you."
Although West River Divine Lord had gone to great lengths to apologize, Yi Yun was not about to let the matter rest. That was a grudge that had killed him. Although Yi Yun had ended up unscathed, a few apologies were not enough to let bygones be bygones.
When Yi Yun said that, everyone looked at Yi Yun as though they were looking at a god or demon. Only then did they recall that Yi Yun had previously mentioned that he had a score to settle with West River Divine Lord. Back then, everyone believed that Yi Yun was just bragging, but now, from the looks of it, he really wanted to settle scores!
"What else do you want?" West River Divine Lord's expression turned nasty. He had nearly flipped out a few times, but he ultimately held back. Primordial Chaos Daolord and Fire Cloud Divine Lord were examples of what had happened to Yi Yun. And back then, Yi Yun was a lot weaker than he was now.
"Wait a moment." As Yi Yun spoke, he looked at Mu Yun with a faint smile.
Mu Yun's expression changed drastically. To him, Yi Yun was clearly a nobody who had lucked out and obtained a huge pile of treasures. However, he had yet to leave his name on the Ancient Ruins world's World Monolith. But now, facing Yi Yun felt like he was facing a demon king. He felt like he was trembling.
This Yi Yun was definitely not simple! He either had a background or something to rely on. Furthermore … he clearly knew West River Divine Lord, his master, and company!
Zhu Ningxie had lost his mind due to his anger. He was already in a daze, but Mu Yun was still rather clever. He knew very well that if he did not keep his eyes open, Zhu Ningxie would become his example.
