But in reality, he seemed to have avoided being the cause of misfortune, only to encounter something else...
Not long after leaving the city, Ye Yun sensed a new group following him.
Compared to the initial pursuers, this group’s stealth skills were far inferior, their cultivation was not particularly high, and their killing intent was clearly exposed.
Ye Yun glanced at the night sky behind him, then instructed Lin Xueyan and the others.
"Wait here for a moment, Master has something to attend to."
"Huh? What is it?"
Bai Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, looking at her master in confusion.
Ye Yun remained calm, stating two words.
"Killing."
...
Not far behind Ye Yun, five men in black were chasing Ye Yun’s flying sword.
Each of them wore an excited expression.
"Damn it, once this job is done, we'll truly be rich!"
"No doubt about it. Someone who buys clothes with top-tier Profound Crystals must have a lot of money on him."
"Don't forget, there are also some pretty young girls. They'd fetch a good price in the black market!"
They had been eyeing Ye Yun shortly after he entered the city to spend.
Initially, they just wanted to admire the girls, but then they noticed how lavish Ye Yun was with his spending, which sparked some ideas.
However, someone couldn't help but worry, looking at the man leading the group.
"Say, is your treasure really reliable? This guy doesn't seem ordinary. Are you sure he's only in his early twenties?"
Hearing this, the man scoffed confidently.
"Nonsense. That Age-Revealing Mirror is a divine artifact from the Temple, it won't be wrong. That kid is definitely only in his twenties!"
"With us at the peak of Profound Immortal, dealing with him is a piece of cake. After we kill him and sell the girls, why would we worry about obtaining cultivation resources in the future?"
Although they couldn't see through Ye Yun's cultivation, his age gave them the confidence to act.
In the Heavenly Domain, twenty years old was still considered a child, and no matter how high their cultivation, it wouldn't be too great.
Hearing his explanation, the others felt somewhat reassured, even showing expressions of anticipation.
"Yes, after this job, we can go to the Temple and buy some heavenly treasures!"
However, just as he was fantasizing about a bright future, someone suddenly spoke up.
"Wait, look ahead. Something seems wrong."
"What's wrong?"
"That man, where did he go?"
"Huh? Impossible, where could he go in such a short distance?!"
The leader frowned, but when he looked up, he indeed did not see the figure he was looking for on the flying sword.
"This… how is this possible?"
As he stared in astonishment, looking around, a voice came from behind him.
"Are you looking for me?"
The voice sent a chill down his spine. He quickly turned and yelled.
"Who's there?!"
Immediately after, he saw the figure he had been looking for, smilingly standing before him.
"You… how are you here?"
The man in black was filled with shock, unable to comprehend how Ye Yun had appeared behind him so silently.
Could a guy in his early twenties possess such skill?
To his disbelief, Ye Yun's answer was straightforward.
"For this question, I suggest you ask the King of Hell."
The next moment, his Profound Qi erupted, and the pressure of a quasi-Heavenly Immortal suddenly descended.
In his palm, the Ten Thousand Leaf Immortal Slayer Split into five, locking onto the five men before him.
The faces of the five men turned ashen. Four of them glared fiercely at the leader.
"You said he was twenty, how is this twenty?!"
One of them couldn't help but curse angrily.
Almost simultaneously, without a second thought, they turned and fled wildly, mentally cursing the ancestor of the man who had initiated this plan.
How dare they try to rob a quasi-Heavenly Immortal expert?
"You..."
The remaining man still looked at Ye Yun in disbelief, not because he didn't want to escape.
It was because the Ten Thousand Leaf Immortal Slayer had already pierced his chest, and the chilling cold attached to it quickly froze his body.
Until his last moment, he couldn't believe his eyes.
"Impossible, this is impossible…"
Others might not believe it, but he knew very well that Ye Yun was truly only twenty years old.
The problem was, a twenty-year-old quasi-Heavenly Immortal, this was absurd to the point of absurdity itself, utterly ridiculous…
As his body exploded into a shower of ice shards, Ye Yun coldly looked into the distance. The others were also successively annihilated by the Ten Thousand Leaf Immortal Slayer.
Having finished, Ye Yun acted as if it were as simple as breathing. He then looked coldly into the distance, as if issuing a warning.
Afterward, he returned to the flying sword.
Seeing him return, Chen Lingxin, who had been rather quiet, couldn't help but ask.
"Were we being pursued just now? Are you injured?"
Although she usually didn't speak much and acted as a minor figure in the sect, she still cared about Ye Yun's safety.
"It's nothing, just swatting a few flies."
Ye Yun smiled calmly, which reassured Chen Lingxin and Lin Xueyan.
Moreover, judging by the speed of the battle's conclusion, it seemed they hadn't encountered any formidable enemies.
As Ye Yun's group departed, four figures emerged, revealing themselves to be members of the Star-Gazing Immortal Sect.
The man in white looked surprised. "That guy is only a quasi-Heavenly Immortal?"
"Only a quasi-Heavenly Immortal?"
The woman in grey robes glanced at him and scoffed.
"Didn't you hear what they said just now? He's only twenty. What were you doing at twenty? Wasting your days at the Red Dust House?"
"Ahem… No, occasionally, occasionally…"
The man's face turned red, and the woman in grey robes snorted.
Another person frowned. "But wasn't it said that he possesses a domain?"
After all, if not for this, the Sect Master wouldn't have thought he was a True Saint or above, and wouldn't have gone to such lengths to come here.
In response, the woman in grey robes pondered.
"Now that you mention it, twenty years old, quasi-Heavenly Immortal, and possessing a domain… could he be from those special races?"
After a long period of thought, she slowly said.
"In that case, let's observe him further and see if he has any other special qualities…"
Since they had found him and knew he was only at the quasi-Heavenly Immortal realm, there was no need to rush.
Moreover, she was increasingly curious about Zhiwei's master.
Then, she led the group and followed the direction in which Ye Yun had disappeared.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Ye Yun soon arrived at his destination.
"Weren't we supposed to attend an auction? Why is there nothing here?"
On the flying sword, Bai Xiaoxiao looked down at the surroundings, her face filled with confusion.
The Moon Spirit Mountain, which came into view, was silent under the veil of night, showing no particularity whatsoever. It certainly didn't look like a place where an auction was about to be held.
Ye Yun glanced at it, and a slight smile played on his lips.
"So, this auction is quite interesting…"
