As Mu Xiao led his men to arrive, Ye Yun's gaze fell upon them.
"Finally out? The last cultivator at the fifth level of the Dao Building Realm in the Xuanming Immortal Palace."
Mu Xiao, who was initially furious, changed his expression slightly upon hearing this.
"What do you mean? What do you mean by 'the last'?"
Ye Yun then looked at him and smiled, "What? Haven't you noticed? Your esteemed Palace Master has already preceded you to hell."
"Of course, the others are the same, they've all gone with him, it's just you left!"
As he said this, he seemed to recall something and added with a smile.
"Oh right, without exception, I killed them all with my own hands."
These words were spoken loudly enough for everyone present to hear clearly, delivering a tremendous shock to them!
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Some elders, with faces as pale as paper, still glared at him and said, "How could you possibly have killed the Palace Master?"
"Liar! You are absolutely lying!"
Clearly, he still refused to believe the reality, but Ye Yun was unconcerned.
"In any case, I am here today for only one thing: to kill and to seize treasures."
"This... sounds like two things, doesn't it?"
Someone scoffed, and in the next second, was beheaded by a sword shadow. Ye Yun sheathed his sword and said indifferently.
"Alright, enough talk, the rest of you will trouble yourselves to accompany your esteemed Palace Master!"
As the words fell, a sharp glint flashed in Ye Yun's eyes, and a thunderous pressure swept out. All cultivators below the Venerable Realm within the range had their expressions change drastically, and they plunged directly towards the ground.
"Sixth level of Dao Building?! How is this possible!"
A half-step Dao Building cultivator's pupils contracted. Ye Yun was clearly only at the Life and Death Realm before!
Unfortunately, no one was there to witness his shock anymore. Ye Yun had already swung his sword, slaying him in an instant, without even the slightest ability to resist.
However, Ye Yun's action finally jolted Mu Xiao awake. Seeing that Ye Yun's strength was terrifyingly strong, he immediately roared.
"Everyone retreat! Activate all the formations of the Immortal Palace!"
Ye Yun's cultivation level had truly shocked them, and everyone scrambled to retreat like ants.
At the same time, countless vast rays of light emerged from all parts of the Immortal Palace, and magnificent formations were erected.
Seven defensive formations of different colors – red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet – rapidly unfolded, isolating Ye Yun.
In addition, several offensive formations were also ready, and even on the ground of the Immortal Palace, there was a super-large Heaven and Earth Combined Formation!
This time, it drew upon the terrifying earth vein power of the Immortal Palace and the strength of countless Immortal Palace cultivators. Vast Heaven and Earth Xuan Qi surged madly into Mu Xiao, the main controller of the formation.
"As expected of an Immortal Palace, their response is quite efficient."
Ye Yun stood outside the seven defensive formations, observing the Immortal Palace's rapid feedback, and nodded in approval.
Within the formations, Mu Xiao's aura grew stronger and stronger. Feeling the vast power within him, his confidence also increased.
He looked at Ye Yun and sneered, "Although I don't know how you killed the Palace Master with your cultivation level."
"But don't underestimate my Xuanming Immortal Palace. Not to mention that the Seven Saints Guarding Heaven Formation can make even peak Dao Building cultivators helpless, just under this Heaven and Earth Combined Formation, I can kill you!"
"Once I have ascended, I will capture you and avenge the Palace Master!"
If Ye Yun had led the armies of two great Immortal Palaces, he might have been afraid, but for Ye Yun alone to shake the thousand-year foundation of the Xuanming Immortal Palace was simply laughable!
Mu Xiao's aura became increasingly powerful, rapidly soaring from the fifth to the sixth, seventh, and eighth levels of Dao Building, with a clear indication of further ascent.
Ye Yun raised an eyebrow, "You've got something, it seems I really need to take care of you first."
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiao laughed heartily, showing no concern that Ye Yun could break through before his ascension was complete.
"Try it if you dare. I'm not afraid to tell you, the Seven Saints Guarding Heaven Formation can hold off even if all the Dao Building Realm cultivators on the continent attack together for a while."
"So, this formation is simply un..."
Before the last word of "beatable" could escape his lips, Ye Yun shook his head and smiled. With a wave of his sleeve, a stream of light emitting a silver fierce glow shot out abruptly.
It was one of his trump cards, the Myriad Leaves Immortal Slaying Shuttle, which he had obtained previously and had not yet used!
"That is..."
Everyone in the Immortal Palace, including Mu Xiao, stared fixedly at the silver shuttle that flew out of Ye Yun's palm.
The Myriad Leaves Immortal Slaying Shuttle, with "Immortal Slaying" in its name, was surely enough to deal with immortals, let alone a mere formation in the lower realm.
The silver shuttle spiraled out. Its speed was not fast initially, but within the time it took Ye Yun to release his hand, its speed suddenly increased a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand times.
With a "swish," the Myriad Leaves Immortal Slaying Shuttle, like a sharp little knife, cut open a neat slit in the void wherever it passed. It could be called light-speed combat.
From Mach 1 to tens of thousands of times the speed of sound in just an instant, it met the Seven Saints Guarding Heaven Formation at its extreme speed!
In the infinitely compressed spacetime, the Myriad Leaves Immortal Slaying Shuttle was barely resisted by the light screen at all. The first layer, the second layer, the third layer...
Up to the seventh and final layer, all were pierced through at the same time. The magnificent defensive formation instantly dissolved into countless rays of light.
"This... this..."
Mu Xiao and all the people of the Immortal Palace were dumbfounded.
"The Seven Saints Guarding Heaven Formation... is broken?!"
The most powerful formation of the Immortal Palace! It was top-tier across the entire continent!
But Ye Yun shattered it with a single strike? What terrifying magic treasure was that silver object?
However, Ye Yun would not give them any more time to be shocked. Almost the moment the Myriad Leaves Immortal Slaying Shuttle was released, he himself drew his sword and attacked with full power.
"Break!"
Ye Yun's figure was like lightning. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the still ascending Mu Xiao and struck down with his sword.
Mu Xiao, who was too stunned by the Myriad Leaves Immortal Slaying Shuttle, was still a step too slow even when he desperately resisted.
With a deafening roar, Mu Xiao, who had just ascended to the peak of the ninth level of Dao Building, took Ye Yun's full-force attack head-on. His face instantly turned ashen, and his body plummeted towards the ground like a meteorite.
*Puff!*
In the enormous crater, Mu Xiao spat out blood in a pathetic state. Ye Yun's single blow had nearly crippled him by half.
As he struggled to get up, he saw Ye Yun approach with his sword, looking down at him with icy eyes.
"Do you have any last words?"
"I..."
Mu Xiao looked at the glinting Fenglan Sword and couldn't help but swallow.
"Don't... don't kill me! I'll give you anything! Even the Xuanming Immortal Palace!"
"Whatever you want from the Immortal Palace, I can give..."
However, before he could finish speaking, Ye Yun struck with his sword, and blood splattered.
"How interesting, if I kill you, won't the treasures still be mine?"
