Compared to the politeness shown towards Ye Yun, Zhao Wangsheng's demeanor was now more overbearing.
As his aura intensified and his words were spoken, the surrounding cultivators' expressions shifted.
This fellow was actually from Hongchen Mountain...
Although this was the Void Abyss, the Three Mountains were still the Three Mountains. If they truly provoked him, it would not end well for them.
Moreover, his True Immortal realm cultivation alone, coupled with the True Saint realm cultivators by his side and the techniques Ye Yun had just displayed, was enough to deter everyone.
Some cultivators exchanged glances, and soon, one by one, they began to withdraw.
"Elder Zhao, thank you for your timely assistance this time."
Ye Yun clasped his fists at him, feeling that at least for now, the other party was quite supportive.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Wangsheng grinned and said heartily,
"What's there to be polite about? If it weren't for Elder Ye before, I might have lost my life in the Sea of Void."
"Now that you've encountered trouble, it's only natural for me to offer my full support."
It was clear that Zhao Wangsheng was a person who knew how to repay kindness.
And now was a critical juncture, so Ye Yun didn't stand on ceremony with him.
Ye Yun nodded with a smile.
"Then, I shall trouble Elder Zhao."
"It's nothing, we're practically family."
Zhao Wangsheng smiled faintly, then stood guard with Ye Yun, watching the surroundings to prevent anyone from daring to trespass.
The situation here temporarily reached a stalemate.
After all, this was the Void Abyss, and there were always some desperate individuals. Even though they knew they couldn't defeat Ye Yun and the others, they were unwilling to leave just like that.
So they waited again, hoping to see if any other changes would occur, allowing them to seize some benefits...
...
Outside this gray space, at the entrance of the formation.
As Xing Wu had said, the entrance was heavily surrounded by powerful figures from the Divine Hall.
All other cultivators were only allowed to exit, not enter. Although many were resentful, they quickly became dejected upon learning of their identities.
Even though the Heavenly Dao Divine Hall's influence did not extend here, it did not prevent the Divine Hall from destroying whomever they wished in the Heavenly Domain and the Void Abyss.
At this moment, a figure clad in green descended into the crowd.
As he landed, a group of Divine Hall cultivators stepped forward and bowed respectfully, saying,
"We welcome Senior Feng to this place!"
This man in green had handsome features but a somewhat ferocious aura. Simply standing there, he was like a sharp, unsheathed sword.
A sharp intent emanated from him, making it difficult for anyone to look at him directly.
Without a doubt, this was Feng Chi, the Heaven-Slaying Blade Emperor, one of the Ten Great Emperor-tier powerhouses of the Heavenly Domain.
In terms of strength, Feng Chi was not among the absolute top tier of the Ten Great Emperor-tier powerhouses, but when it came to madness, he was undoubtedly the number one.
Once, for a trivial matter, he had a battle with the Heavenly Dao Hall Master. Although he ultimately lost and was severely beaten, it was enough to show how unreasonable he was.
Furthermore, he had no faction under him. If he clashed with other Emperor-tier powerhouses, he was truly like a beggar unafraid of the rich.
His participation in this encirclement and suppression of Xing Wu was merely to repay a very old debt of gratitude.
Feng Chi glanced at them, then at the entrance not far away.
"Tell me, what is the situation inside?"
His tone was indifferent, devoid of any emotion.
Immediately, a Divine Hall expert gave him a general account.
Essentially, everyone was surrounding and attacking Xing Wu, and they were in fierce combat.
After speaking, the expert looked at Feng Chi and tentatively asked,
"Uh... Senior Feng, how do you plan to deal with Xing Wu? Are you going to charge in directly?"
Hearing this, Feng Chi walked to the entrance and took a few glances before saying indifferently,
"This Emperor cannot enter here. Xing Wu has set up a formation at the entrance, preventing cultivators above the Emperor-tier from entering."
The expert was taken aback, then frowned.
"Even you have no way to break it? What about forcing it open?"
The safest approach now would be for him to enter, and then Xing Wu could be easily dealt with.
But now that he said he couldn't enter, it made the expert suspect if Senior Feng was trying to slack off.
Then, Feng Chi gave him a cold look.
"Force it open? This formation was clearly created by Xing Wu at her peak. Do you Divine Hall cultivators know what her identity was at her peak?"
"This..."
The surrounding Divine Hall experts all fell silent.
They naturally understood what Feng Chi meant.
At her peak, besides her identity as the Sword Emperor of the Night, Xing Wu was also one of the foremost experts in formations in the Heavenly Domain.
"In short, there's no way to get in, so just wait here."
Feng Chi couldn't be bothered to argue with them further and said calmly,
"Aren't they still locked in combat inside? Judging by her condition, it's very likely she has separated her Heart of Heavenly Principles."
"And even for her, it will take some time to fuse with the Heart of Heavenly Principles. As long as we don't give her an opportunity, that's enough."
"And if she wants to escape, with this Emperor here, along with the inescapable net you've prepared, it won't be easy for her to get away."
Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances, seemingly finding his words reasonable.
Finally, they all nodded and said,
"Alright, we'll listen to Senior and continue waiting for her to come out!"
Feng Chi nodded, then his gaze returned to the entrance, a hint of anticipation flickering in his eyes.
"The number one sword cultivator in the Heavenly Domain for eternity, is that right? Let this Emperor have a good fight with you!"
...
Compared to the outside, where the Divine Hall cultivators were poised for action.
Inside the gray space, the chaotic battle continued. Heavenly Principles Xing Wu and the group of Divine Hall experts were fighting fiercely, causing the sky and earth to turn dark.
On Ye Yun's side, they were still guarding the perimeter. As for the surrounding cultivators, although many had not left, none dared to cross the line.
Only the magnificent starry scene, scattered across the sky, became increasingly vivid and brilliant.
Time ticked by, and streams of golden light gathered the stars in the sky, forming connections between them and revealing countless profound and cryptic symbols.
Suddenly, time seemed to freeze at this moment.
With a crisp cracking sound, the starry sky formed by the gathered stars, as well as the golden symbols, all shattered like a mirror.
"Success?!"
Ye Yun looked up, his face filled with joy as he stood up.
Others were also attracted by the strange phenomenon in the sky, not understanding what had happened.
And in a distant location, Heavenly Principles Xing Wu, who was engaged in a fierce battle with the Divine Hall experts, felt an inexplicable loosening all over her body upon seeing this celestial anomaly.
It felt as if an invisible mountain pressing down on her had been removed.
"What's going on? The seal is broken?"
Heavenly Principles Xing Wu was momentarily stunned, and almost got hit by an attack because of it.
However, she quickly realized what had happened.
She gritted her teeth and snorted,
"That guy... thinks this will move me?"
If it were anyone else, owing such a great favor would be the end of it.
But for it to be her original self, this feeling of owing a favor made her very unhappy.
When had she ever asked for his care? It was as if she were a child, just being rebellious and causing trouble.
As she fought, she muttered to herself,
"Don't think I'll thank you. At most, I'll let you off next time..."
