Then Xing Wu walked into the spatial rift, her figure disappearing completely from the front of the grand hall.
Chen Feng was left alone, staring blankly at the empty hall, his heart quickly shifting from fear to utter excitement.
After confirming that the terrifying woman had left, he acted as if he had gone mad, rushing to the throne and shouting excitedly.
"Hahaha! It's mine! Everything is mine!"
"I am the King of the Xuanti Continent! I am the ruler here!"
"From now on, this young master, no, it should be this mistress, let's see who dares to disobey me!"
For so long, the descriptions of the Four Great Immortal Palaces' immense power had been ingrained in his very bones.
Now that he had become the master of such a colossal force, he was naturally overcome with excitement.
Chen Feng looked at the throne before him and quickly tried to sit on it, looking down with an incredibly proud expression.
"From today onwards, this mistress can stand here and command the magnificent Immortal Palace..."
He couldn't help but close his eyes, savoring the feeling of the throne.
However, before he could even warm the seat, several earth-shattering roars echoed from outside the hall, and a surging wave of energy rushed in.
Chen Feng, with his low cultivation, was almost blown off his feet by the gale, looking outside in stunned disbelief.
"What... what is happening?"
He was somewhat perplexed, but the continuous screams from outside the hall and the increasingly close sounds made him more and more uneasy.
But as soon as he stood up, he saw a figure wielding a sword slowly walk in from the hall entrance, their gaze instantly falling on Chen Feng.
"You are Chen Feng, the former young master of the Nine Nether Demonic Sect?"
"You... Who are you? How dare you trespass into my Nine Nether Immortal Palace, are you looking for death!"
Chen Feng felt the terrifying aura emanating from him and couldn't help but swallow. Yet, he continued to bluster, attempting to scare the other person away.
"Who am I? Naturally, I am Ye Yun of the Ancient Dao Heavenly Sect. Young Master, do you still remember me?"
Ye Yun, holding the Feng Lan Sword, sneered as he looked at the figure on the throne.
"If I'm not mistaken, you were the main culprit behind the destruction of the Lin family, weren't you?"
"Ye... Ye Yun?!"
Chen Feng mumbled the name, his face immediately turning as pale as paper. He had heard many of Ye Yun's legendary deeds during this time. He quickly shouted fiercely towards the outside.
"Grand Elder! Guards! Come quickly and protect this young master!"
In his panic, he even reverted to his former self-address. However, after shouting for a while, no one appeared.
"Stop shouting. No one can save you. They are all dead."
Ye Yun gently stroked the Feng Lan Sword, his voice chillingly cold. "The Nine Nether Immortal Palace had a total of thirty-four thousand two hundred and fifty-one members. You are the last one alive."
Similar to the Black Demonic Sect, the Nine Nether Immortal Palace was mostly comprised of cultivators from the former Nine Nether Demonic Sect, most of whom were villains. Moreover, they had helped Xing Wu in her wicked deeds. Therefore, eradicating them all brought no psychological burden.
Xing Wu was someone he couldn't deal with for now, but this newly established Nine Nether Immortal Palace was as fragile as paper.
At this point, Chen Feng was completely desperate. He immediately scrambled on his hands and knees to Ye Yun and, with practiced ease, knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Elder Ye, spare my life! I only acted against the Lin family because I was forced by that abominable woman named Xing Wu!"
"I am innocent. I never had any intention of harming the Lin family. I beg Elder Ye to see the truth!"
"Furthermore, as long as you spare me, I will offer you everything in the Nine Nether Immortal Palace. I only ask for my life!"
It was evident that his ability to lie was effortless.
Although for Ye Yun, it was indeed impossible to distinguish the truth from lies based on that single statement.
But at this moment, a golden light suddenly flew out from the throne, projecting an image in the air. It was precisely the scene of Xing Wu conversing with him not long ago.
The scene, along with the voices, perfectly revealed everything that had transpired recently regarding the discussion of the Lin family.
"This... this... this is impossible! How could this happen!"
Chen Feng's pupils constricted. A chill ran from his forehead to his heels.
Clearly, someone had even foreseen all of this.
"Elder... Elder Ye, spare my life! Please listen to my explanation..."
Chen Feng was still struggling, but after watching the recording, Ye Yun maintained a faint smile.
However, those who knew him well understood that this was when he was most furious.
"No need for an explanation, and don't worry, I won't kill you."
Ye Yun looked at him and revealed a kind smile.
"Let's go. Come with me."
In fact, without allowing Chen Feng any chance to resist, Ye Yun knocked him unconscious and carried him away as if he were a small chicken.
The reason for not killing him was that Ye Yun firmly believed that murderers should be judged by the families of their victims.
...
At Qingyun Peak, Ancient Dao Heavenly Sect.
When Ye Yun returned, several figures immediately rushed to greet him.
"Master!"
"Master!"
"@#% (A certain flood dragon)!"
The first to rush over and embrace Ye Yun was the petite Chen Lingyi.
She hugged his waist, wishing she could hang onto him entirely.
"You're finally back, I've missed you so much!"
As the saying goes, a brief separation is like a new marriage... perhaps that's not quite appropriate here.
But undeniably, Chen Lingyi was like a girl who had been waiting alone for a long time and saw her lover return.
Ye Yun stroked her head and smiled, "I've missed you all too."
Then, his gaze fell upon Chen Lingxin, who was standing by with a smile. Her vibrant spirit clearly indicated a healthy state.
Ye Yun's eyes immediately conjured up her information panel.
[Name: Chen Lingxin]
[Cultivation: Transcendent First Level]
[Physique: Pure Heaven Spirit Body (Can be upgraded to Glazed Saint Body, requires Ten Thousand Year Pure Heaven Flower!)]
[Comprehension: Tier Five (Can be greatly improved with the most suitable Star Pattern Grass!)]
Although her cultivation was not high, this Pure Heaven Spirit Body was somewhat unexpected, a testament to the Nine Revolutions Sacred Lotus.
In this regard, it could be considered a blessing in disguise.
He smiled at Chen Lingxin and asked with concern, "Lingxin, you seem to have recovered very well. How do you feel?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Lingxin nodded with a smile.
"Thanks to Master's Nine Revolutions Sacred Lotus, and the care of Senior Medical Immortal, my body is completely fine now!"
"And practicing has become much faster than before!"
This made Ye Yun smile. It was only natural that practicing would be fast after awakening a rare spiritual body by chance.
Just as he was about to inquire further, Chen Lingyi, who was hugging him, looked at Chen Feng by his hand and asked doubtfully.
"Master, who is this guy?"
Hearing this, Ye Yun smiled faintly, "Oh, he is a gift from Master to your eldest senior sister."
After speaking, he looked around.
"Speaking of which, where are your eldest and second senior sisters? Haven't they returned from the campaign against the demon race yet?"
Mentioning the two of them, Chen Lingyi's expression became a little strange.
"Senior sisters are at the sect's tailoring area. They said they got a special clothing pattern from someone of the demon race, and it looks especially beautiful."
"Then they want to make a set for all of us, and then we'll all wear them together to show Master."
After hearing the explanation, Ye Yun's expression also became strange.
"Demon race? Special clothing pattern?"
Just as he was filled with confusion, as if by chance, familiar voices echoed from a distance.
"Master!!! You're finally back!"
Upon hearing this voice, Ye Yun knew it was Lin Xueyan returning.
But he was even more curious now about how special this so-called special clothing could be...
