Qian Qingning said with some surprise, "So it's you. You are truly captivating, no wonder Lord Ye Xing has been so infatuated."
"You flatter me, senior."
Xing Wu chuckled lightly.
Ye Yun, standing nearby, seemed to notice something and asked, "Lord Qian Xing, did you perhaps sense something just now?"
He had clearly noticed the surprised look on Qian Qingning's face when she looked at Xing Wu.
Upon hearing this, Qian Qingning stared intently at Xing Wu's body for a while before slowly replying,
"I can't quite explain it. This lady… she seems to possess a very peculiar aura…"
She hesitated for a moment before finally sighing,
"Perhaps it was just my imagination."
Even as a Heavenly God-level expert, her intuition wasn't always infallible.
Occasionally, she would experience errors in judgment, and this might be one of them.
Xing Wu looked somewhat bewildered. A peculiar aura about her? As the person in question, she hadn't noticed anything amiss.
Ye Yun was also a little puzzled, but since Qian Qingning dismissed it as her imagination, he didn't dwell on it.
Without further delay, Qian Qingning donned the black robe that concealed her appearance and aura. She said with a smile,
"Alright, I shall take my leave now. Once I have news regarding the Qian Yuan Domain and the Wind Domain, I will send someone to inform you immediately."
"Yes, see you later."
Ye Yun nodded and then escorted Qian Qingning away, watching until she vanished into the horizon.
After she departed, Ye Yun let out a long sigh of relief.
Her visit had provided him with considerable assistance, both through crucial information and the vital broken sword, all of which were extremely important to him…
At this moment, Xiao Lingluo looked at him and couldn't help but ask,
"City Lord, do you truly intend to resist the powerhouses from those two great worlds single-handedly?"
According to Qian Qingning's assessment, they would be facing at least two Tier 30 Heavenly Gods, along with numerous other Heavenly Gods and a large contingent of Star Gods.
To confront such a formidable force by himself seemed incredibly difficult.
Ye Yun smiled faintly and said softly, "There's no need for you to worry about this. Are you still not confident in my strength?"
A slight curve formed on his lips as he gazed at the distant sky, speaking word by word,
"This time, if they dare to come, I will ensure they never return!"
"Once those fellows are dealt with, I believe the surrounding star domains will be free from trouble for a considerable time."
For the moment, it was primarily the Qian Yuan Domain causing unrest. From the initial invasion by divine envoys to the subsequent sneak attacks in secret realms, it had all vividly displayed the Qian Yuan Domain's insatiable ambition.
It could even be said that as long as the Qian Yuan Domain remained, not only their Heavenly Domain but also other great worlds would struggle to find peace.
"Yes, I believe he will surely be able to turn the tide."
Xing Wu, standing by his side, expressed even greater confidence in Ye Yun, saying with a smile,
"After all, this isn't the first time he's done something that makes our palms sweat."
By this point, Xing Wu's heart, much like Lin Xueyan and the others, had come to regard Ye Yun as a monster capable of achieving anything!
Hearing this, Xiao Lingluo and the other two exchanged glances before ultimately choosing to trust him.
"Very well, then we shall leave it to City Lord Ye."
"Indeed, with me here, there will be no accidents!"
Ye Yun said with a faint smile. However, as soon as he finished speaking, he noticed Song Ziyue beside him and sighed again.
"Alas, the only regret is her. If only this could also be resolved at the same time."
While dealing with the Qian Yuan Domain would eliminate immediate troubles, this was contingent on the perpetrator who severely injured Song Ziyue not preemptively seeking retribution.
In Ye Yun's estimation, they would need to reach at least the peak Heavenly God, or even the Divine Lord realm, before he could possibly protect himself and those around him from this formidable adversary.
Looking at Song Ziyue once more, for him at this moment, she represented the most troublesome and significant threat!
On the other hand, Song Ziyue herself, sensing everyone's gaze, seemed somewhat slow to react. She tilted her head, appearing puzzled.
At a glance, her demeanor was quite endearingly cute.
If she weren't a Divine Lord-level powerhouse, Ye Yun might have genuinely considered helping her.
Xing Wu shook her head and said, "Since we can't resolve it for now, let's not dwell on it. Let's focus on dealing with the Qian Yuan Domain and the Wind Domain."
She had always advocated for addressing matters that were within their capabilities first.
As for things that exceeded their current abilities, they would have to leave them to fate.
"My wife is right. In that case, let's prepare for battle…"
Ye Yun sighed and slowly said.
Since the Qian Yuan Domain intended to attack them and was personally leading their elite forces, the first priority was to determine the battlefield.
For Ye Yun personally, the most secure battlefield would undoubtedly be within the Heavenly Domain.
With the support of its formations, the Heavenly Domain could serve as his stronghold and even provide significant assistance during the fight.
However, Ye Yun considered that this battle was bound to be extremely fierce, and he worried about causing irreversible damage to the Heavenly Domain during the conflict.
Therefore, he ultimately decided to set the battlefield in the void outside the world. This, however, would truly mean he had to face a thousand enemies alone.
Nevertheless, Ye Yun remained confident, and the decision was made.
Following this, Ye Yun remembered an important matter and immediately approached Lin Xueyan, saying,
"Xueyan, I gave you a flying ship before, but that one is rather outdated. I'll give you a new one."
"Ah? A new flying ship?"
Lin Xueyan was still surprised and asked curiously, "Is it the previous Divine River Flying Ship?"
As far as she remembered, her master only had that one flying ship.
Ye Yun then shook his head.
"No, no, no. This one is even more advanced."
As he spoke, Ye Yun opened his hand, and a unique flying vessel unfolded before them – the Star River Flying Ship that he had previously "requested" from Qian Ling!
As soon as it appeared, its majestic exterior and the numerous intricate patterns on it caused Lin Xueyan to exclaim in astonishment,
"What a cool flying ship! Master, where did you get this from?"
"This one, well, it was a gift from the Ling Luo Domain. I have even better ones that I don't need, so I'll just give this flying ship to you to play with."
"Okay, thank you, Master!"
Lin Xueyan no longer stood on ceremony with her master.
After all, it was enough for her to know that her master possessed treasures even superior to hers.
Lin Xueyan cheerfully accepted the gift, and Ye Yun, in turn, successfully received a return reward.
[You bestowed the Star River Flying Ship upon your disciple. Congratulations on activating the Six Hundred Thousand Times Return, and acquiring the Titan-class Void Flying Ship!]
