Ye Yun also understood that currently, with the Fú Lóng Immortal Palace being as hostile as fire and water, it would be somewhat troublesome if he truly encountered their Zhù Dào cultivators outside the Sage's Tomb.
Moreover, the Sage's Tomb had always been full of opportunities. He also planned to bring Lin Xue Yan and Bai Xiao Xiao, which made it even more necessary to ensure they wouldn't be attacked by the Fú Lóng Immortal Palace.
Ye Yun pondered for a moment and nodded, "An alliance is possible, but I have another condition."
"That is, during this period, I hope the Yǔ Luò Immortal Palace can look after the Gǔ Dào Heavenly Sect, so that the Fú Lóng Immortal Palace doesn't cause trouble for them while I'm away."
If it were just him alone, it would be fine. The problem was that the Gǔ Dào Heavenly Sect was behind him. Who knew if the Fú Lóng Immortal Palace, finding him difficult to deal with, would retaliate by attacking his sect from behind.
Yu Wen Ya agreed to his condition without even thinking about it.
"No problem. When we return, I will arrange for a Zhù Dào expert to guard your sect and ensure the Gǔ Dào Heavenly Sect's safety. However, they will be withdrawn after the matter is concluded."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yun immediately smiled, "That's fine, it's enough!"
After all, his only concern was the period when he was away; he wasn't particularly afraid of the Fú Lóng Immortal Palace at other times.
No matter how desperate the other party was, they would still be relatively restrained in the Eastern Region, which was the territory of the Yǔ Luò Immortal Palace.
At this moment, Lan Zhao Yue suddenly interjected, "If that's the case, then I will also send two Peak Sheng Shí Realm cultivators to guard. It's not convenient to send Zhù Dào Realm seniors to the Eastern Region."
Although she had a good relationship with Yu Wen Ya in private, she wouldn't trust her blindly to the point of sending Zhù Dào cultivators, such strategic military force. Not to mention whether she worried about being targeted by the Yǔ Luò Immortal Palace, Yu Wen Ya would also fear that she might cause trouble.
Ye Yun understood these unwritten rules and smiled, nodding, "Alright, Peak Sheng Shí Realm is sufficient. I thank Palace Master Lan."
Even though one Zhù Dào cultivator was enough, who would dislike having more powerful experts stationed there?
Upon receiving Ye Yun's thanks and respectful address, Lan Zhao Yue finally showed a proud smile.
"That's more like it. Rest assured, we will protect the Gǔ Dào Heavenly Sect well during this period!"
With their assurances, Ye Yun was naturally relieved and said with a smile.
"Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation."
After discussing the conditions, Ye Yun and the two women agreed on a meeting point for their rendezvous. He only needed to arrive on time to join the teams of the two great Immortal Palaces.
The time was set for fifteen days later. By then, the Sage's Tomb would be about to open.
After confirming the time, the two sides officially formed an alliance. The two women did not linger any longer and returned to their respective Immortal Palaces to make preparations.
"Alright, then we should head back too!"
Ye Yun turned to look at his two disciples, as well as the dumbfounded disciples and elders of the Gǔ Dào Heavenly Sect.
They had witnessed the transaction just now, and their admiration for Elder Ye was now like a surging river, endless!
Initially, they were worried about retaliation from the Fú Lóng Immortal Palace for their previous provocations. Now, it seemed they had overthought things. With Zhù Dào experts stationed there, what was there to fear?
"I never imagined that our Gǔ Dào Heavenly Sect would one day have Peak Sheng Shí Realm, and even Zhù Dào Realm cultivators, stationed here. What an honor!"
Among the crowd, an elder couldn't help but exclaim, and the others all agreed.
At this moment, Ye Yun turned to them and said with a smile.
"A mere Zhù Dào expert, to see such little ambition from you. Just you wait, it won't be long before the name of Gǔ Dào Heavenly Sect makes even the Immortal Palaces look up to us!"
If anyone else had said this, they might have thought them mad, but coming from Elder Ye, it sparked imagination.
The people of Gǔ Dào Heavenly Sect were shocked and exchanged glances. Could Gǔ Dào Heavenly Sect truly reach such a day?
In fact, Ye Yun was not joking at all. The masters of the great Immortal Palaces were around the Zhù Dào Peak in cultivation. With his terrifying rate of improvement, it might not take too long to catch up to them!
Afterward, Ye Yun summoned the Fēng Lán Sword. Once everyone was on board, he flew directly out, disappearing into the horizon like a streak of green light.
Outside the Thousand Blades Mountain, the crowd of onlookers had not yet dispersed. Some were still reminiscing about everything that had happened, but more were meditating and cultivating.
"Elder Ye's sword strike was truly profound and mysterious. Just by looking at it, I felt a breakthrough in my swordsmanship!"
"What? Me too! The bottleneck in my swordsmanship has actually loosened!"
"That's nothing. I feel like my swordsmanship is about to break through!"
...
Among the crowd, many sword cultivators began to exclaim.
Ye Yun's previous sword strike had touched upon the true meaning of the Way of the Sword. Merely glancing at it brought immense benefits.
Furthermore, where Ye Yun's sword edge had cut, traces of sword intent remained. Meditating here could greatly accelerate the cultivation of the Way of the Sword.
Before long, shouts of laughter erupted from within the crowd.
"Hahaha! I've comprehended it! I've comprehended the Sword Intent!"
As the voice fell, a surge of sword intent shot up into the sky, an extremely sharp aura that was undeniably the ultimate intent of the sword!
Everyone was startled. Someone had actually broken through thanks to this opportunity?
However, this was just the beginning. After the first person broke through, more sword cultivators successively broke through their bottlenecks and advanced further in their swordsmanship.
"Haha, I've also comprehended it. Initial-stage Sword Intent is nothing special!"
"Damn it! I've comprehended Intermediate-stage Sword Intent!"
"Intermediate-stage Sword Intent is garbage. I've broken through to High-stage Sword Intent, who else dares to challenge me!"
This time, the person who broke through to Sword Intent was a Venerable cultivator who had come to join the fun. He was originally far from High-stage Sword Intent, but unexpectedly, by observing Ye Yun's sword strike, he found a way to break through and reached High-stage Sword Intent in one go!
After breaking through, his face was filled with excitement, and his gaze turned towards the direction Ye Yun had left. Finally, he bowed deeply.
He was not the only one. All those who broke through here looked into the distance where Ye Yun had gone and offered their deepest respect!
"For the Eastern Region to have an Elder Ye is truly our honor as sword cultivators of the Eastern Region!"
The others watched this scene, their hearts completely numb with shock, especially those from the Jīn Tāo Heavenly Sect and the Zhēn Wǔ Heavenly Sect.
Han Wang Feng and Wu Chuan's hearts were still pounding. They truly felt a sense of surviving a disaster.
Among them, Wu Chuan couldn't help but swallow.
"Fortunately, fortunately, I didn't completely offend Ye Yun before. He's simply a devil..."
Thinking that he had actually provoked Ye Yun before, he realized he had been dancing on the edge of death. After all, Chen Wu Yi was a living example.
As for Han Wang Feng, he was completely stunned, feeling fortunate that Ye Yun hadn't killed him with a single palm strike before.
He glanced at Han Zi Mo, who was still in a daze beside him, and couldn't help but sigh.
He had intended to cause trouble for the Gǔ Dào Heavenly Sect afterward, but after witnessing Ye Yun's strength, he understood that there was truly no chance for revenge.
"Alas, it seems the Eastern Region is about to change..."
"I don't think it's just the Eastern Region."
At this moment, Wu Chuan came over, gazed into the distance, and sighed, "With Ye Yun's strength, it's likely that not long from now, the entire continent's landscape will be rewritten!"
