Daojie Palace

"Senior brother, what exactly is this...?"

Beside Yi Yun, the other disciples of the Tianshu Gate were stunned. They had all witnessed the power of the sect's treasured sword, its sword energy as Sword Qi as a rainbow, unstoppable. But today, the Tianshu Sword seemed to have malfunctioned, completely losing its function.

"What is the origin of the sword in Yi Yun's hand?"

The disciples of Tianshu Gate weren't stupid. After recovering from their shock, they realized that this was probably due to the Illusion Snow Sword. But what level of sword would it take to suppress the Tianshu Sword, preventing it from releasing even a trace of Sword Qi?

Looking at the sword in Yi Yun's hand, Xia Zijian's face turned red. It was too embarrassing. It was one thing that his alchemy skills and knowledge were inferior to Yi Yun's before, but his greatest pride - the Tianshu Sword - was completely crushed by Yi Yun. Especially in front of Jingyue Sha and other girls his age, this made the proud Xia Zijian wish he could kill Yi Yun with a single sword strike.

"The quality of a sword depends not only on the sword itself, but also on the person wielding it..." Jingyue Yin said slowly from a distance. Her voice was not loud, but everyone present could hear her clearly.

While Tianshu Gate's previous decision to abandon Yi Yun was not exactly honorable, it was not entirely unreasonable. However, Xia Zijian should not have stood up to Yi Yun at this time to make sarcastic remarks and boast about the sect's strength. This prompted even the usually low-key Jingyue Yin to speak up for Yi Yun. In Jingyue Yin's view, Yi Yun was outnumbered and being hunted down by the Danxin Sect, making him the weaker party.

"I..." Hearing Jingyue Yin add insult to injury, Xia Zijian felt aggrieved. If it were anyone else saying this, he would have refuted them long ago, but it was Jingyue Yin who spoke, whose strength and seniority far surpassed his own. What could Xia Zijian say?

Just then, a somewhat composed voice rang out. "When did the Lord of Pure Moon Island have this inclination to educate the juniors of the sect on my behalf?"

Yi Yun glanced over and saw that the person who spoke was Ren Yunzong.

After parting ways with Yi Yun, Ren Yunzong with Pure Moon Island because of Pure Moon Island's obvious bias towards Yi Yun. This made Ren Yunzong speak less politely to Jingyue Yin.

Ren Yunzong did not come alone; he was accompanied by an old acquaintance of Yi Yun and a man dressed in gray.

The familiar face was none other than Prince Tianhao. Yi Yun hadn't expected that Prince Tianhao would know Ren Yunzong.

As for the gray-clad man beside Prince Tianhao, he had sallow skin and a very ordinary appearance. Coupled with his inconspicuous attire, he was the kind of person who would be completely invisible once he entered a crowd. Moreover, his aura was extremely concealed. If Yi Yun hadn't possessed the Energy Vision of the Purple Crystal, it would have been almost impossible to distinguish him from an ordinary person.

However, Yi Yun was certain that the gray-robed man was not very strong; he was probably only at the early stage of the Venerable realm and was not very old. His ability to conceal his aura stemmed from a secret technique.

"Young Master Yi, these are people from the Daojie Palace. Be careful of them."

Jingyue Sha transmitted his voice to Yi Yun.

"Daojie Palace?" Yi Yun had never heard of this name before.

"This person Daojie Palace's emblem on his chest. The Daojie Palace is a force in the Diling Great World. I learned about them when I traveled through the Tiannan Great World. They only have a weak branch there, but because of the existence of their main branch, they should not be underestimated."

"I see..." Yi Yun nodded. Guixu was indeed too vast, with various powerful forces intertwined.

"The Daojie Palace has a bad reputation. They only ventured into the Tiannan Great World in the last million years. In order to expand, they have swallowed up many small sects, and even massacred many of them..."

Jingyue Sha knew a lot of inside information, which helped Yi Yun a great deal.

"Yi Yun, what a coincidence, we meet again." It was Prince Tianhao who spoke first. When he saw Yi Yun, a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

"I'm afraid it's not a coincidence. What, are you here to take revenge on me?" Yi Yun said lazily. Martial artists have powerful Spiritual Sense. Prince Tianhao followed Ren Yunzong here. No one would believe it was a coincidence. He was most likely here for him.

"Revenge?" Prince Tianhao frowned, clearly feeling that Yi Yun's words lowered his status. "Hmph, someone like you isn't worth my attention!"

Prince Tianhao said coldly, his voice extremely arrogant, "If it weren't for Brother Pingyun wanting to see you, I wouldn't have bothered saying another word to you."

As Prince Tianhao spoke, the gray-robed man behind him stepped forward, a smile on his face, "Prince Tianhao, please calm down, and Young Master Yi, please don't compete. My name is Chu Pingyun. I have heard that Young Master Young Master Yi has extraordinary attainments in alchemy, and you even casually produced a God King Immortal Jade at the trade fair. You are truly a young hero, I have long admired you!"

The man in gray clasped his hands in a fist salute and said.

Yi Yun also cupped his hands in greeting. Although the other party had come with Prince Tianhao, one shouldn't refuse a smiling face, and he wouldn't be impolite.

"Brother Chu, what advice do you have for me?"

"I dare not presume to offer guidance. I have come here today to provide Young Master Yi with a chance to survive!"

"Survival?" Yi Yun raised an eyebrow and looked at Chu Pingyun.

"That's right!" Chu Pingyun nodded calmly. "It's common knowledge that Brother Yi is being hunted down by the Danxin Sect. In fact, the Danxin Sect is only after profit. Brother Yi has the inheritance that the Danxin Sect wants. If Brother Yi didn't have these inheritances, the Danxin Sect wouldn't be able to do anything to him."

After hearing Chu Pingyun's words, Yi Yun stroked his chin. "What are you trying to say?"

"It's simple. As long as Brother Yi sells that Medicine Cauldron and the Ancient Medicine Dao Legacy to my Daojie Palace, my Daojie Palace will naturally announce the news. At that time, the Danxin Sect will turn its attention to my Daojie Palace, and my Daojie Palace can take responsibility for everything for Brother Yi!"

"Once the Danxin Sect starts fighting us, they will naturally have no time to care about Brother Yi. At that time, my Daojie Palace will send a group of experts to protect Brother Yi back to the Jinghai Great World, ensuring his safety without any mishaps!"

Chu Pingyun spoke eloquently, Yi Yun chuckled inwardly. No wonder Chu Pingyun was so eager to chat with him and greeted him with a smile. It turned out that he had this intention: they wanted to get their hands on the treasures he possessed in advance and snatch them from the jaws of danger before Danxin Sect could!

The term "deal" was just a euphemism; as for escorting him back to the Jinghai Great World, Yi Yun had no expectations whatsoever.

Yi Yun had been wondering if the Danxin Sect's aggressive approach had truly intimidated all the major powers. Now it seemed that the Danxin Sect didn't actually possess such power. Moreover, Chu Pingyun had mentioned the Medicine Cauldron as soon as he opened his mouth, indicating that he had probably already sensed something. Even if he didn't know that he possessed the Medicine God's inheritance, he realized that this inheritance was extraordinary.

"How many spirit jades are you prepared to offer?" Yi Yun asked with a half-smile.

Chu Pingyun held up two fingers, "Two God King Immortal Jade!"

This price sounds like a lot at first glance. Although everyone with eyes can see that two God King Immortal Jade are far less valuable than the inheritance in Yi Yun's hands, this is originally a case of taking advantage of someone's misfortune, and no one expects a fair trade.

But at that moment, a voice suddenly echoed in Yi Yun's mind, a voice that belonged to Ling Xie'er—

"Brother Yi Yun, this person is so wicked. Although he's smiling, he actually wants to kill you."

"Oh?" Yi Yun was taken aback. People with deep minds can often hide their murderous intent very well. For example, Yi Yun could sense that Chu Pingyun was hiding a knife in his smile, but he couldn't be sure if Chu Pingyun had already developed murderous intent. However, Ling Xie'er could clearly feel it.

"Xie'er, don't worry, I never believed him in the first place."

Yi Yun said calmly, "It seems that Chu Pingyun didn't even intend to spend the spiritual jade needed to buy the inheritance. Instead, he wanted to trick me out of my things and then kill me!"

If I'm not mistaken, all of this will even take place in Yunze City. It is for this reason that he has made contact with Prince Tianhao. If he wants to make a move in Yunze City, he needs Prince Tianhao to cover for him. In return, he will naturally share some benefits with Prince Tianhao!
