To test his strength, Ye Yun did not hold back with this sword.
The combination of Sword-Man Unity, Primal Sword Intent, Heavenly Phoenix Cold Qi, along with the Shen Yue Sword Art and further enhancement of power from the Shen Yuan Sword.
This sword strike was, in fact, somewhat like using a cannon to swat a fly.
With an overwhelming force, it shattered the black-robed man who had surged to Xuan Xian sixth level and above.
As the residual power dissipated, only ice shards rained down, leaving the remaining three in stunned silence.
"Damn it, can't afford to offend, let's bail!"
The leading black-robed man was the first to react, hastily ordering another escape.
This time, to ensure their escape, they even resorted to life-burning techniques, fleeing in all directions without any regard for themselves.
Their speed was several times faster than before.
Ye Yun, however, snorted coldly, "Do you take me for a public toilet? Come and go as you please?"
In his hand, the Wan Ye Shi Xian Suo was immediately conjured.
"It's time to let you truly stain your hands with immortal blood!"
Following that, Ye Yun attached the cold qi to the flying shuttle to further enhance its power.
"Go!"
The Wan Ye Shi Xian Suo shot out from before Ye Yun at light speed. The moment it flew out, it split into three, attacking the remaining three individuals respectively.
The speed of this attack was beyond anything the three black-robed men could imagine.
Before they could even react, the Wan Ye Shi Xian Suo pierced through their Xuan Qi defenses. Two of them were instantly decapitated.
The remaining black-robed man who had been issuing orders was luckier. He narrowly avoided his head, but his ear was pierced.
"Another Heavenly Artifact grade magical treasure, who is this guy...?"
The black-robed man's face was grim; he was deeply shocked by Ye Yun.
A Xuan Xian first-level cultivator, capable of instantly killing a Xuan Xian sixth-level cultivator head-on, and possessing one Heavenly Artifact after another.
Even among the top powers in the Heavenly Domain, such individuals were rare gems. How could they have run into him?
"Fortunately... at least, no vital points were hit."
The black-robed man touched his ear. Although it was a miserable injury, he had managed to escape, saving his life.
"No, I must report this to the Hall Master immediately..."
He could already imagine the severe punishment he would receive from the Hall Master for failing this mission, but it was still better than dying here.
However, before he could feel any relief, he was shocked to find an extreme coldness emanating from his wound, spreading throughout his body at a terrifying speed.
From an outsider's perspective, ice crystals formed from the cold qi at his ear wound. Subsequently, the cold qi invaded his blood and meridians, and his entire body froze into an ice sculpture.
A moment later, Ye Yun arrived and, seeing the black-robed man frozen into ice, shattered him with a satisfied sword strike.
"It seems that after possessing the Heavenly Phoenix bloodline, the intensity of this cold qi has also undergone a qualitative leap..."
Through this battle, Ye Yun gained a basic understanding of his own strength.
In his normal state, he was already comparable to these peak Xuan Xian cultivators born in the Heavenly Domain.
Afterwards, if he could find Xue Yan and the others to pass on his techniques and improve their cultivation, his combat power would undoubtedly see another significant increase.
By then, even Earth Immortal realm cultivators might not be a match for him.
"With the Killing God Crossbow now, I might be able to kill Heavenly Immortal realm cultivators. That should provide some self-preservation."
It was worth noting that Heavenly Immortal realm cultivators were considered high-ranking even within the Heavenly Dao Divine Palace.
Ye Yun breathed a sigh of relief and then returned to where Xiao Xue was.
At this moment, the grey-robed maiden's eyes lit up when she saw Ye Yun return.
"Wow, Senior, you're truly amazing! You dealt with those hateful guys so easily."
"It was alright. They were just too weak."
Only then did Ye Yun have the time to observe the grey-robed maiden. Her appearance was quite peculiar.
She had dark golden hair and wore a golden hair accessory shaped like a book on her head.
Her eyes shimmered with starlight, and there was a strange golden pattern on her forehead.
Beneath her grey robe, a peculiar golden dress was vaguely visible, with some inexplicable strange symbols printed on the hem, about two inches above her knees.
Based on her appearance, Ye Yun was fairly certain that she was likely the descendant of a major power.
Seeing him looking at her, the grey-robed maiden smiled and said,
"Hello, I am Fang Zhiwei from the Star Gazing Immortal Sect. Thank you for saving my life, Senior!"
She bowed gracefully, and Ye Yun raised an eyebrow, asking,
"Star Gazing Immortal Sect? The one that ranks first among the Eight Sects in the Heavenly Domain?"
In the encyclopedia given by Xing Wu earlier, the Star Gazing Immortal Sect was recorded as the leading power among the eight great sects of the Heavenly Domain.
"Yes, yes, yes, that's the one!"
Fang Zhiwei nodded repeatedly.
Ye Yun, however, frowned and asked, "Then who were those people chasing you just now...?"
"Uh... I'm not sure."
Fang Zhiwei said with a frustrated look, "Those people suddenly appeared and ambushed me, then they kept chasing me."
"I didn't expect them to be from the Nightfall..."
Ye Yun directly negated it.
"Don't think about it. They aren't from Nightfall."
"Ah? Why?"
Seeing her confused little face, Ye Yun rolled his eyes and said,
"Are you stupid? Who would reveal their identity when ambushing someone?"
"Besides, when I mentioned knowing Xing Wu earlier, they fled without looking back. Clearly, they were impersonating Nightfall, fearing they would be exposed."
Fang Zhiwei suddenly understood.
"So that's how it is..."
After speaking, she seemed to remember something and suddenly asked curiously.
"So, Senior, do you really know Xing Wu?"
"That has nothing to do with you."
Then Ye Yun changed the subject and said,
"Looking at you, you're not an ordinary disciple in the Star Gazing Immortal Sect, are you?"
"Ah? Senior, you don't know me?"
Fang Zhiwei seemed very surprised, while Ye Yun said indifferently,
"Why, are you famous?"
This time, Fang Zhiwei was stunned.
"Senior, the Sect Master of the Star Gazing Immortal Sect is my mother. Have you really never heard of me?"
Hearing her say that, Ye Yun's brows slightly twitched.
"Since you have no background, why were you being chased alone? Where are your guards?"
Whenever this matter was brought up, Fang Zhiwei would become a little embarrassed, poking her index fingers in front of her.
"Actually... I secretly ran away from home behind my mother's back."
"My mother insisted I marry my cousin and learn to manage the Immortal Sect, but I didn't like it, so I..."
When she first came out, she had divined for herself that she would meet her destined person here.
However, she didn't meet her destined person and was suddenly ambushed by a few burly men.
After Ye Yun heard her explanation, his expression became a little strange.
"Your sect really knows how to play..."
After all, he found the idea of incest a little hard to accept.
Finally, Ye Yun shook his head and said, "Never mind, none of this concerns me anymore."
"If there's nothing else, I'll be taking my leave."
Just as he was about to leave, he saw Fang Zhiwei grab the hem of his robe.
"What? Is there something else?"
Then, Fang Zhiwei hesitated for a moment, suddenly looked up at him with hope, and said,
"That... Senior, can I take you as my master?"
"Huh?"
Ye Yun frowned and looked at her.
"With your background, are you short of someone to teach you cultivation?"
"It's not just that..."
Fang Zhiwei said earnestly, "I've read biographical novels where the master-disciple relationship is described as very beautiful, so I wanted to find someone I like to be my master!"
"The reason I ran away this time was actually to find a good person to be my master!"
"I truly yearn for a master, please fulfill my wish!"
Hearing this, Ye Yun's expression became somewhat peculiar.
"Biographical novels? What novels?"
He couldn't imagine what kind of biographical novel would make such a noble girl run away desperately just to find a master.
Fang Zhiwei seemed guilty, continuing to poke her index fingers. "It's just a novel, I don't remember the name clearly."
There was no way she could directly say that the name of the biographical novel she was reading was "The Diary of a Young Disciple and Her Dominant Master"...
