In their eyes, no matter how strong Ye Yun was, there was still a chasm between him and the Immortal Palace. To dare provoke the Immortal Palace in such a situation was truly unique courage.
Little did they know, what shocked them even more was yet to come.
Lan Zhaoyue’s pretty face turned ashen with anger, wishing she could jump over and bite him. But just as their side was in a stalemate, a startled cry broke the atmosphere.
“Damn, who else is here?”
The four great sects of the Eastern Region, the presiding Yu Luo Immortal Palace, and even the Ling Long Immortal Palace, which had come to join the fun, were all present. There shouldn't be any more major powers arriving.
But at this moment, dragon roars could be heard incessantly from the horizon. As everyone followed the sound, their expressions turned to shock.
A team of over a hundred people, vast and mighty, was breaking through the sea of clouds. The dragon roars were emanating from the majestic dragon carriage pulled by mystical beasts at the front of the procession.
Getting closer, they could clearly see the dark gold banners fluttering in the team, and the dragon patterns printed on the banners, causing many to exclaim.
“Dark Gold Dragon Banner, it’s actually the team from Fu Long Immortal Palace! And it looks like an elite formation, the kind only direct disciples would have!”
“More than that, look at the few people next to the dragon carriage, their cultivation has surpassed Venerable, right?”
“If I remember correctly, this team seems to be the personal guard of the Young Palace Master of Fu Long Immortal Palace!”
There were many discerning individuals present, and quite a few recognized the identities of the arrivals.
Especially Yu Wenya and Lan Zhaoyue, who frowned upon seeing this team.
“What is Mo Chenyu up to, coming here?”
“I don’t know, but it’s definitely not something good.”
Yu Wenya stared intently at the sky, pondering why Mo Chenyu had come.
Hearing the discussions of others and learning that the arrivals were Mo Chenyu’s guards, Bai Xiaoxiao’s face turned somewhat grim.
Her small face darkened, and she couldn’t help but grab her master’s hand. It was evident she was still a little worried.
“Xiaoxiao, you don’t need to worry too much.”
Ye Yun gently petted her head, comforting her in a soft tone.
Then, he looked up at the descending team and snorted.
“If this fellow is just here to join the fun, that’s fine. But if he’s still got designs on you, I guarantee he’ll die a miserable death.”
“Mm…”
Ye Yun’s domineering words warmed Bai Xiaoxiao’s heart, and her unease gradually subsided. She instinctively leaned into Ye Yun.
His confidence stemmed from the fact that the cultivators Mo Chenyu had brought, a total of four at the third level of Life and Death realm and one at the fourth level, were no match for him.
The grand procession in the air slowly descended. The guards neatly lined up on both sides, with the five Life and Death realm powerhouses beside them.
Mo Chenyu then stepped out of the dragon carriage with a smile, muttering to himself.
“Xiaoxiao, oh Xiaoxiao, this young master is here to take you home!”
As he stepped out of the dragon carriage, his expression was initially full of anticipation. He had long coveted Bai Xiaoxiao’s beauty.
But when he saw Bai Xiaoxiao holding hands with a handsome man, his expression froze instantly.
A tenth of a second later, Mo Chenyu’s expression turned as dark as water.
“This guy… is courting death!”
At this moment, Yu Wenya had already stepped forward, sternly questioning him without politeness.
“Palace Master Mo, what do you mean by this? Bringing so many people here, are you trying to cause trouble?”
Hearing this, Mo Chenyu’s composed face instantly relaxed, and he put on a smile.
“Miss Yu, you’ve misunderstood. This young master is here simply to seek justice.”
Yu Wenya frowned and said coldly, “Seek justice? From whom?”
Based on her understanding of Mo Chenyu, he had most likely offended someone and was now coming to trouble them, so her tone was quite unfriendly.
Mo Chenyu, however, sneered.
“No rush, this young master will give your Yu Luo Immortal Palace some face. We’ll settle any matters after the Four Sects Grand Assembly concludes.”
After speaking, he looked towards Bai Xiaoxiao. Seeing her still holding Ye Yun’s hand, he became furious and said coldly.
“Xiaoxiao, as my fiancée, do you know what you are doing?”
Perhaps feeling guilty, Bai Xiaoxiao dared not look at him for a moment. Ye Yun, on the other hand, glanced at him and said.
“Your fiancée? It seems you’ve been dreaming quite a bit. She has never agreed to the marriage from the start.”
“Don’t worry, she will agree soon.”
Mo Chenyu stared coldly at Ye Yun and said teasingly. “You must be Ye Yun, Bai Xiaoxiao’s master? After the assembly concludes, this young master will have a good chat with you!”
“No problem, I’ll accompany you to the end.”
Ye Yun smiled at him. His calm demeanor made Mo Chenyu extremely displeased. This fellow was unexpectedly arrogant.
“I’ll let you be arrogant for a little longer. After the Four Sects Grand Assembly, I guarantee you’ll be begging for mercy on your knees!”
After dropping this sentence, he snorted and led his people to wait at a distance for the Four Sects Grand Assembly to conclude.
Many people’s mouths hung open, their expressions incredibly strange, listening to the conversation between the two.
They wondered if Elder Ye was too outrageous, not only confronting the Nine Nether Demonic Sect but also seeming to have offended the Ling Long Immortal Palace, and now the Fu Long Immortal Palace was also looking for trouble with him?
It was highly likely that Elder Ye was in grave danger today.
Yu Wenya couldn’t help but look at Ye Yun, frowning. “Elder Ye, what exactly is between you and him…”
“Just some trivial matters, no need to worry.”
Ye Yun waved his hand, his tone very casual, which left Yu Wenya speechless.
She thought to herself, Mo Chenyu had brought five cultivators in the Life and Death realm, so who gave Ye Yun such confidence?
However, since he said it was nothing, and Mo Chenyu indeed hadn’t caused direct trouble, Yu Wenya didn’t feel it was appropriate to say anything more. She could only sigh and look at everyone.
“Alright, all participants for the Four Sects Grand Assembly have now arrived. Please make your final preparations, and we will begin the competition!”
“The first place in this Four Sects Grand Assembly will receive the Flower of No Aperture, bestowed by the Yu Luo Immortal Palace, and two Rank Seven Shaping Profound Pills, as well as various public resources of the Eastern Region…”
After the rewards were announced, everyone except the four great sects erupted.
“Amazing! The Immortal Palace actually brought out the Flower of No Aperture, how generous!”
“And two Rank Seven pills! They are taking this assembly extremely seriously!”
“Ahhhh, I’d be satisfied just to get one pill!”
It could be said that the Flower of No Aperture and Rank Seven pills were top-tier rare items on the continent. To offer them as rewards for the Four Sects Grand Assembly, was the Yu Luo Immortal Palace doing charity?
When Yu Wenya took out the prizes for display, Ye Yun also stared intently at the Flower of No Aperture.
“Xiaoxiao, this Flower of No Aperture is very important for your future. You must do your best to win it!”
“Yes, disciple will definitely try her best!”
Bai Xiaoxiao’s gaze was determined. Lin Xueyan, standing beside her, smiled and said.
“Master, don’t worry. Disciple will also do her best to help junior sister win this Flower of No Aperture!”
Seeing the two girls full of confidence, Ye Yun also smiled.
Chen Wuyi, who was not far away, sneered inwardly after hearing their conversation.
“Still want first place? Keep dreaming. This year’s first place still belongs to our Nine Nether Demonic Sect!”
