Ye Yun had not expected him to be able to pass on the message; it was simply that from the moment he decided to help Xu Shanyue and deal with them, he had sealed his fate to perish here.
How could Ye Yun let go of someone who intended to kill him?
Giving the other party a quick end was his greatest mercy.
"Then what about you? Will you do it yourself, or shall this venerable one help you?"
Ye Yun's gaze fell upon the still stunned Xu Shanyue, who instantly felt as if he had plunged into an ice cellar.
When a person's fear reaches its extreme, it transforms into anger. Especially with Xu Yi's corpse still beside him, he immediately roared at Ye Yun.
"Ye Yun, may you die a terrible death! The Xuan Ming Immortal Palace will surely tear you to shreds and avenge our sect and Xiao Yi!"
Xu Shanyue roared and charged at Ye Yun with desperate might, his entire being transforming into a blazing beam, launching a full-power attack at Ye Yun.
This was not in hopes of killing Ye Yun, but to express his stance!
However, before Ye Yun could even make a move, Xiao Xue, who was by his side, extended her icy small hand.
In an instant, ice spikes formed and pierced him in mid-air. As if that were not enough, she condensed several more, completely shattering his body to the point of near pulverization.
Scarlet blood dripped down from the ice. Only Xu Shanyue's face still held that expression of angry defiance.
To the extent that Ye Yun, watching this, couldn't help but twitch his lips and grumble.
"Damn, why do I look more like the bad guy here?"
Chen Lingyi, beside him, repeatedly shook her head, looking at him with a serious expression.
"Master is not a bad person! Master is the best, the very best person in the world!"
"That's right, that's right, Master is the best person in the world!"
Bai Xiaoxiao and Lin Xueyan, who was holding Chen Lingxin, also chimed in.
If Master is a bad person? Then there truly wouldn't be a good person left in the world!
And Xiao Xue, on the side, looked up at the gruesomely dead Xu Shanyue and said faintly.
"No matter if Master is a good person or a bad person, Xiao Xue will fight for you until the last moment of my life."
Clearly, to her, Ye Yun's stance was irrelevant. All she thought of was to assist Ye Yun, and everything else was none of her concern!
Her calm words were incredibly moving, almost making Ye Yun's welling emotions dissipate on the spot.
"Alright, alright, stop saying such mushy things. We've found the person we were looking for. Let's return to the Ancient Dao Heavenly Sect as soon as possible!"
With things having reached this point, there was nothing more to linger for in the Flying Sword Sect. Ye Yun then led everyone away.
And within the group, there was one more person, Chen Lingyi's friend, Xiao Feng, whom Ye Yun also brought back to the Ancient Dao Heavenly Sect, to avoid any trouble stemming from Xu Yi's incident.
After they left on their swords, in the Xuan Ming Immortal Palace, discussions were still ongoing intensely.
"Palace Master, if we launch a cross-domain attack on the Ancient Dao Heavenly Sect, it will inevitably draw the attention of the Falling Feather Immortal Palace and even the Exquisite Immortal Palace. I beg the Palace Master to reconsider!"
Although the young palace master, Mu Yangchen, was publicly executed, which dealt a severe blow to the reputation of their Xuan Ming Immortal Palace, if a war were truly to break out, and if something went wrong, it could truly shake the foundations of the Immortal Palace built over thousands of years. Many still held opposing opinions.
In the council hall, the Palace Master of the Xuan Ming Immortal Palace, Mu Xuankong, looked at the elders seated below and coldly stated without politeness.
"My decision is made. Not only did that Ye Yun bring such disgrace to my Xuan Ming Immortal Palace, but he now possesses the inheritance of a sage. How can he be allowed to live?"
"Moreover, with his talent, it won't be long before he surpasses our Xuan Ming Immortal Palace. If we don't eliminate him now, are we going to wait for him to eliminate us?"
"Therefore, this matter is not up for further discussion. From this day forward, the Immortal Palace and its exterior forces shall unite and kill Ye Yun by any means necessary!"
Although Mu Xuankong's desire to kill Ye Yun was largely due to the fact that the other party had caused him to have no descendants, his words were quite accurate.
The other elders exchanged glances, still seemingly unconvinced.
Just then, a hurried figure entered from outside the hall and reported loudly.
"Palace Master, the young palace master of the Fu Long Immortal Palace, Mo Chenyu, has requested an audience, hoping to join forces with the Xuan Ming Immortal Palace to deal with the Ancient Dao Heavenly Sect and Ye Yun!"
Upon hearing this, the hall instantly became noisy, clearly surprised. After all, their relationship with the Fu Long Immortal Palace was not particularly good, let alone joining forces.
Mu Xuankong, however, upon hearing this, immediately slammed the table and declared sternly.
"Everyone, be quiet! Let that young man in."
Instantly, the hall fell silent. Then, a figure slowly walked in from outside the hall, accompanied by a cultivator in the Dao Building realm.
Mo Chenyu walked to the front of the hall with a calm and composed demeanor, looked up at Mu Xuankong, and smiled slightly.
"Palace Master Mu, judging by your expressions, you seem to be troubled by Ye Yun's affairs. Why not let this junior help you resolve your worries?"
This unpretentious and respectful attitude caused Mu Xuankong's brows to furrow. Since when did the dandy young master Mo Chenyu possess such an ethereal presence?
Or had he grown significantly due to his previous experiences in the Sage's tomb?
However, this was not what he cared about. What he cared about now was one thing!
"Young Palace Master Mo, do you have a way to kill Ye Yun?"
"Of course, but the final outcome will depend on your decision, senior."
Mo Chenyu said with a smile, to which the latter nodded.
"No problem, tell me about it..."
Though he was reluctant to admit it, the Xuan Ming Immortal Palace, with its current strength, faced considerable risk in taking down Ye Yun. But if they had the Fu Long Immortal Palace joining them, it would be different.
Mo Chenyu then narrated a plan. After listening, Mu Xuankong's gaze towards Mo Chenyu sharpened.
"Doing this? Can it truly kill Ye Yun? Or are you playing with this palace?"
"Whether it's true or false depends entirely on your thoughts. However, I must remind you, that Ye Yun fellow is very likely to use the treasures obtained from the Sage's tomb to join forces with the Falling Feather Immortal Palace and the Exquisite Immortal Palace. Relying solely on the Xuan Ming Immortal Palace, hehe..."
Mu Xuankong's brows furrowed tightly. This young man indeed had something.
He pondered for a long time. The other elders looked nervous, as if fearing their Palace Master would agree. Yet, Mu Xuankong finally took a deep breath and nodded.
"Good, I agree! I hope what you say is true. Otherwise, even if you are the young palace master of the Fu Long Immortal Palace, I will kill you!"
"No problem. If that time comes, you are welcome to take my head, Palace Master!"
Mo Chenyu smiled faintly, as if he didn't take it seriously at all, and then brazenly left.
After leaving the hall, a sinister smile appeared on Mo Chenyu's lips.
"Angry people are indeed easy to trick..."
For him, dealing with Ye Yun was secondary. Taking down both the Xuan Ming Immortal Palace and the Fu Long Immortal Palace was what he cared about most at present!
