In a blink of an eye, a few months had passed since the gathering on Greatsword Mountain.
During this period of time, the news of Yi Yun rejecting the position of Elder on Greatsword Mountain, refusing to sign the soul contract, and defeating Shen Tu Patriarch had spread throughout the Tian Yuan world.
The warriors who knew of this still remembered the arrest warrant from back then. Once upon a time, Yi Yun and Lin Xintong were deemed to be traitors of the Human race. They were condemned by everyone and despised by the world.
Many young warriors fantasized about finding clues about Yi Yun and Lin Xintong, and providing them to the Martial Alliance to make a name for themselves.
However, they never expected that, in a blink of an eye, the Martial Alliance had become a conspirator lurking in the Tian Yuan world, while Yi Yun had become a hero who destroyed the Blood Moon plan. Just a few days ago, he had even fought Shen Tu Patriarch and defeated him. This battle result was absolutely shocking!
Many young geniuses were envious of this matter that seemed like an ancient legend. They even felt their blood boil with excitement.
Wasn't a happy life like Yi Yun's what martial artists pursued?
In the Tian Yuan world, there were numerous youths who treated Yi Yun as their goal. Even though the elders of the various large factions had deliberately downplayed this matter and boycotted the publicity of Yi Yun, slowly, Yi Yun still became the idol of the Tian Yuan world's younger generation. He was the embodiment of absolute strength.
Who did not want to be like Yi Yun, to be accomplished at a young age!?
Of course, against such a situation, the ones who could not lift their heads the most were naturally the people from the Shen Tu family clan.
Shen Tu Patriarch could even hear people discussing Yi Yun on Greatsword Mountain. The content was extremely jarring to his ears.
"I can't wait any longer. If I wait any longer, I really won't have any chance of survival. Yi Yun will definitely kill me!"
Shen Tu Patriarch knew very well that Yi Yun was no saint. He was decisive in killing, so how could he tolerate a potential threat?
A warrior's life could not be guaranteed to be smooth sailing, to be able to maintain peak condition at all times.
For example, Yi Yun, even though he was strong, there would be times when he would be seriously injured or in reclusive training to break through. Yi Yun naturally would not allow a venomous snake lurking beside him that could bite him at any time. The smart thing to do was to completely eradicate it.
With the passage of time, Shen Tu Patriarch slowly contacted Elders from other factions to come to Greatsword Mountain. In Greatsword Mountain's array, these people discussed countermeasures.
Shen Tu Patriarch had sent many of his trusted aides to the family clans that had grudges with Yi Yun. He was constantly roping in allies and seeking helpers.
He had already planned on setting up a large array in Greatsword Mountain to lure Yi Yun into a trap.
Towards this matter, the Sovereign of the Eventide also tacitly approved of it. He even secretly provided a lot of convenience and help to the array.
To the Sovereign of the Eventide, Shen Tu Patriarch and company were like the saber in his hand. If his strike failed, the saber would break, and he could stay out of the matter.
Soon, Shen Tu Patriarch had gathered ten legendary Heaven Ascension realm Elders. The factions they belonged to had a grudge with Yi Yun, but even these people had their concerns. They could not really make up their minds to fight Yi Yun to the death.
At the end of the day, it was still because of the success rate. They didn't have much confidence.
Ten legendary Elders were gathered at Greatsword Mountain. This was a temporary safe place. At least they did not need to worry about being assassinated by Yi Yun.
As the matter dragged on, several months had already passed. Shen Tu Patriarch knew that Yi Yun's strength was increasing with every passing month.
He was a little impatient. However, it seemed like Yi Yun and Lin Xintong had disappeared again. They were not in the Lin family, and it was unknown where they had gone.
The longer it dragged on, the less confidence they had.
Over the past few days, Shen Tu Patriarch felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. He felt that staying at Greatsword Mountain was like being locked in a death cell. If he could not kill Yi Yun, he would just be waiting for death.
Sooner or later, Yi Yun would have the strength to defy all rules. When that happened, he would personally storm Greatsword Mountain and take his life.
And this time would definitely not exceed ten years. The feeling of knowing that his death was imminent was just too unbearable.
As he was tormented by death, Shen Tu Patriarch even thought of taking the initiative to attack the Lin family, infuriating Yi Yun and forcing him to attack Greatsword Mountain.
However, even if Shen Tu Patriarch felt that such a crazy idea was feasible, no one else had the courage to do so. It really felt like a moth flying into a flame.
On this day, Shen Tu Patriarch was meditating in the cultivation room to gain insight into mystic techniques. He knew that if he were to fight Yi Yun head-on, he would most likely lose. Only by using mystic techniques that overdrafted his potential could he make up for the difference in strength.
There were many such mystic techniques in the ancient heritage left behind by Blood Moon. Most of them were moves that could kill a thousand of the enemy, but at the cost of 800 of one's own strength. And to the current Shen Tu Patriarch, it was like sending charcoal in the snow.
Just as Shen Tu Patriarch was in reclusive meditation to gain insight into the mystic techniques, his eyelids suddenly twitched. Following that, he felt an inexplicable sense of panic.
A mortal's eyelids twitched because their muscles were spasming, but for warriors, such a thing would obviously not happen.
Their eyelids twitched because they were blessed, or because they had a premonition of danger.
"What's going on?"
Shen Tu Patriarch's heart skipped a beat as he stood up and quickly left the cultivation room.
At this moment, there were a few of Shen Tu Patriarch's allies on Greatsword Mountain. The other Tian Yuan Elder Consortium members had mostly returned to their own factions.
These people sensed something amiss as they walked to the square in front of the Elder Consortium's gigantic tower.
Standing on the square, strong winds blew. The surrounding Heaven Earth Yuan Qi turned chaotic. This situation made them feel apprehensive. What had happened?
At this moment, the wind on Greatsword Mountain's peak was not naturally formed. It was a wind caused by energy. When it blew on their faces, it felt like knives. It made people involuntarily conjure up their protective Yuan Qi.
A faint evil aura emanated in the air as Shen Tu Patriarch's expression gradually turned solemn.
He felt a strong sense of unease!
Yi Yun? Could he be here to kill him!?
Shen Tu Patriarch found it unbelievable. Yi Yun was unlikely to be that arrogant. Although he was strong, he had yet to fully mature. At this moment, for him to storm Greatsword Mountain and publicly attack a Tian Yuan Elder Consortium member, it was equivalent to making the entire Tian Yuan world his enemy!
Yi Yun still did not have the strength to dominate the Tian Yuan world. If he angered all the large factions, they would join forces to kill him at all costs. Then, he would probably have no place to hide.
"Who is it!?"
With a spear in hand, Shen Tu Patriarch formed a battle formation with the other Elders.
At this moment, it was dusk. The setting sun in the western sky scattered a pale golden light onto Shen Tu Patriarch's face. Even Shen Tu Patriarch's spear was covered in a layer of golden light.
Very suddenly, Shen Tu Patriarch noticed a smear of blood appear in the horizon. He was certain that it was not the clouds dyed red by the setting sun.
The blood color slowly spread out as it constantly spread towards Greatsword Mountain. As it grew thicker, it was a shocking sight to behold.
From the blood color, Shen Tu Patriarch could sense a rich evil aura. It was as if it was a sea of blood that had slaughtered millions of lives!
Shen Tu Patriarch's forehead was already dripping with sweat. This did not seem like Yi Yun. What was it?
"Send a voice transmission to the Sovereign of the Eventide!"
Shen Tu Patriarch became more and more flustered. He had never felt such a feeling before. Beside him, a few legendary figures felt that the matter was of utmost importance. They took out their voice transmission jade slips, and at this moment, Shen Tu Patriarch was like a cat that had its tail stepped on. He suddenly leaped forward and turned around!
At that instant, he felt a terrifying killing intent behind him. It was as if a primordial behemoth had suddenly appeared behind him!
The other legendary figures also turned around with Shen Tu Patriarch. Following that, their bodies suddenly turned stiff. Due to the terrifying aura and fear, they found it difficult to move.
They saw that at the peak of Greatsword Mountain, at the top of the gigantic pagoda that they had just walked out of, there was a monster covered in black armor. It was unknown if it was human or ghost. His eyes were red, and behind him was a tattered cloak that fluttered in the wind. His two arms were about the length of a person, and they were dragged down, hanging on the dome of the pagoda.
This monster only had one eye. As it stared at them with its single eye, it nearly made their hearts stop beating!
They could sense an extremely terrifying aura from the monster. It was not pressure or aura, but like a rabbit facing a hawk in the sky. It was a suppression that came from the difference in life's natural order!
This suppression made it difficult for their blood and energy to flow.
