This response, the man in black frowned.
He glanced at the blue-skirted woman not far away, then at Ye Yun, and the formidable divine artifact in his hand.
Finally, he said coldly, "I was presumptuous earlier. I apologize to you here, but I hope you will not interfere in this matter."
His tone, while not entirely lacking in sincerity, was clearly reluctant, indicating he hadn't truly acknowledged his own wrongdoing.
Upon hearing this, Ye Yun looked at him with amusement.
"You say don't interfere and I don't interfere? Are we that close?"
This flippant attitude flashed a sharp glint in the man in black's eyes.
"I am apologizing to you; this is my greatest concession. You should know better than to overstep your bounds!"
If it were any other day, encountering a Star God level cultivator, let alone apologizing to them,
He would have likely attacked directly, seizing the powerful artifact from the other party's hands without a second thought.
Ye Yun, however, paid him no mind and continued to smile.
"I can refrain from interfering, but there is a small condition."
The man in black's eyelids twitched. Suppressing the almost explosive anger within him, he gritted his teeth and said,
"What condition?"
"It's very simple. I hope you..."
Ye Yun's lips curled slightly as he slowly spoke.
"I hope you will cut off the hand that sneak-attacked me, as an apology."
Before the man in black could erupt in rage after his words fell, Ye Yun had already shouted to the woman,
"Still not moving aside!"
She didn't need his reminder; the blue-skirted woman had been looking for an opportunity to disengage.
Seeing Ye Yun's words enrage the man in black, she knew her chance to escape had arrived.
She immediately dodged aside. At that moment, Ye Yun once again activated the Star-Slaying Shuttle, unleashing a barrage of ten thousand blades.
"You court death!"
Seeing himself toyed with, the man in black's anger could no longer be contained.
He looked at the incoming Star-Slaying Shuttle, snorted coldly, and without dodging, swung his saber down.
While this treasure could pose a threat during a sneak attack, its frontal effectiveness was rather mediocre.
As expected, his frontal attack caused the Star-Slaying Shuttle, despite being a Rank Three divine artifact, to be knocked flying due to Ye Yun's low cultivation level.
"If you leave here alive today, my surname will be yours!"
A sharp killing intent flashed in the man in black's eyes, and he couldn't resist uttering a harsh threat.
Then, just as he was about to advance and slay Ye Yun, he saw another artifact Ye Yun conjured.
It was a colossal cross, inscribed with golden patterns, radiating a sacred and imposing aura.
Most importantly, upon seeing this golden cross, the man in black felt a peculiar sensation of his life being held in someone's hand.
The intense death threat continuously stimulated him, causing him to make an instant decision. He abandoned his previous threat and turned to flee.
"You've come, but it's not so easy to leave!"
Ye Yun sneered, channeling divine power into the Celestial Oath before him.
Instantly, a dazzling golden light bloomed in the void. The golden cross, after a moment of stagnation, unleashed a destructive golden aurora.
Though the man in black, desperately fleeing, had a relatively timely escape, one of his arms was still hit.
The formidable defense of a Celestial God and his unyielding body were almost instantly dissolved.
The man in black instantly lost an arm. The intense burning sensation from the wound turned his face ashen.
Frankly speaking, if he had been any slower and met this attack head-on, he would have likely been blown to smithereens, his divine spark included.
"Who… who exactly is this guy?!"
At this moment, only this question echoed in the man in black's mind.
He couldn't comprehend how a Star God could possess such a terrifying divine artifact to unleash such an outrageous attack!
Meanwhile, on the other side, Ye Yun loosened his grip on the Celestial Oath as he noticed the man disappear from his perception.
"So boastful with your words, yet you run so fast..."
Ye Yun shook his head, but it was for the best.
In fact, even now, his heart was pounding, not from tension, but from the immense, instantaneous consumption of divine power!
Ultimately, his own cultivation was too low. A Star God using the Rank Seven Celestial Oath was a very strenuous undertaking.
Even with this Rank Seven, Ye Yun dared not imagine what would happen if he, at the Star God level, were to fully activate the Myriad God Banner; he felt he would be drained instantly.
Ye Yun put away the Celestial Oath. The blue-skirted woman, who had been on the verge of fleeing, now stared at him dumbfounded.
"He… he actually won?!"
Although she didn't quite understand, she was greatly shocked.
A Star God, relying on a treasure, had actually intimidated a Celestial God into fleeing and even severed one of his arms.
Just how powerful was this divine artifact?!
When she finally reacted, she quickly stepped forward and asked,
"Thank you for saving my life, sir. May I ask who you are..."
This immediate inquiry into his name was normal in her view.
However, Ye Yun was reluctant to reveal himself so casually.
He looked at her and pointed in front of him, saying,
"Um, before you speak, I suggest you pay attention to what's in front of you. It's about to fall completely off."
Hearing this, the blue-skirted woman was stunned for a moment, then as if snapping back to reality, she looked down.
As Ye Yun had said, due to the chaotic battle earlier, her skirt was essentially battle-worn.
Especially in the front, a large piece of fabric had come loose, revealing fair skin, and just a little lower, one could see a stunningly beautiful landscape.
It was fine when she was covering it herself, but now, after being shocked by Ye Yun, she had subconsciously forgotten about it.
Instantly, the blue-skirted woman's face flushed red. She quickly reached to cover herself, and simultaneously glared at him fiercely.
"Are you a pervert? Still looking!"
In her mind, how could a dignified Star God level cultivator look at such places immediately?
This wasn't like a Star God; it was more like a rogue.
Ye Yun rolled his eyes and said exasperatedly.
"If I were a pervert, I would have taken this opportunity to tie you up and take you back right now."
"You..."
The blue-skirted woman was both enraged and ashamed, yet genuinely worried he might do something to her.
To the point that she couldn't help but say,
"Don't get any wrong ideas. My status is..."
"Don't overthink it."
Ye Yun turned away, saying indifferently.
"I'm not interested in flat expanses, and who you are has nothing to do with me. If you have nothing else, I'll be leaving."
He hadn't come to be a hero saving a damsel, so naturally, he wasn't inclined to engage in any romantic entanglements at such a time.
He immediately intended to leave and find a place to recover, as going to the Lingluo Domain in such a weakened state was somewhat inappropriate.
"Wait, you..."
The blue-skirted woman wanted to say more, but Ye Yun had already vanished.
Looking at the empty space before her, the blue-skirted woman was stunned for a long while.
Finally, her face was filled with indignation.
"What kind of person is he? I didn't offend him, why is he so heartless!"
However, despite her grumbling, she was still deeply grateful for Ye Yun's life-saving grace.
Without his intervention, she would likely have been captured by that man just now.
Thinking of this, she felt both gratitude and indignation towards Ye Yun.
Not long after, three streams of light arrived from afar, and in a flash, they were by her side.
The three who appeared were all Celestial God level cultivators.
"Your Highness Qian Ling, are you alright?!"
As soon as the figures arrived, the man in the white robe anxiously inquired.
Seeing them, Qian Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
"That's good, that's good!"
The man in the white robe exhaled, saying with relief.
"Your Highness, if something had happened to you, we wouldn't be able to explain it to the Star Lord."
"Yes, your master is always so worried."
At this moment, another person, full of murderous intent, looked around and asked.
"Your Highness, where is the enemy now? I'd like to see who dares to cause trouble in our Lingluo Domain!"
Undoubtedly, these few were all Celestial God level powerhouses from the Lingluo Domain.
As for the blue-skirted woman, Qian Ling, she was naturally the disciple of the Lingluo Domain's Star Lord.
