Surrounded by Wolves on All Sides
Thinking of this, Yi Yun sneered inwardly. Prince Tianhao already had a grudge against him and wished him dead. How could he miss such an opportunity to kick him while he was down and get some benefits? He didn't want to approach him so abruptly, which was why he got involved with Ren Yunzong. This group of people completely saw him as easy prey.
"Sect Leader Yi, this person is up to no good. Think carefully."
Jingyue Yin spoke up to remind him; with her rich experience, she could see the problem—this Chu Pingyun didn't seem like a good person.
"Thank you for your advice, Senior Jingyue. I will know what I'm doing."
Yi Yun spoke first, Jingyue Yin nodded, waiting to see how Yi Yun would respond.
In martial arts training, talent and opportunity alone are not enough; one must also possess extraordinary intelligence. If one is too impulsive or too foolish, one will often meet a terrible end.
The current situation is extremely dire for Yi Yun. He is surrounded by the Danxin Sect from the outside and by a pack of wolves from within, including the Daojie Palace. If he doesn't handle things properly, he will be devoured without a trace.
Jingyue Yin wanted to see if Yi Yun could still advance or retreat strategically in such a desperate situation. In fact, Jingyue Yin felt that even if she were in Yi Yun's position, she wouldn't fare well!
"Sect Leader Yi, if necessary, you should let go of the opportunities you have. As long as you're alive, you can always make a comeback."
Jingyue Yin offered advice, believing that with Yi Yun's talent, as long as he survived, he would have a bright future.
"This junior understands."
Yi Yun smiled slightly, clasped his hands in a fist and fist salute to Chu Pingyun, and said, "Brother Chu, what are you saying? I cannot accept these two God King Immortal Jade. My life was saved by you, Brother Chu, and I am already extremely grateful. How could I possibly accept your God King Immortal Jade?"
Yi Yun's tone was sincere, Jingyue Yin was slightly taken aback. What did Yi Yun mean by that? Did he really expect the Daojie Palace to send him away from the Tiannan Great World?
Although she warned Yi Yun not to be too obsessed with opportunities, she also didn't tell him to hand over all opportunities to the Yi Yun Daojie Palace. That would be like asking a tiger for its skin; trying to gain any advantage from the Daojie Palace was simply wishful thinking.
Even Chu Pingyun was stunned. Yi Yun really that easy to talk to? He had only just begun his opening remarks when Yi Yun rushed over, agreeing to all his conditions and even giving up the two God King Immortal Jade. How afraid of death was he?
"This kid was probably already losing sleep over the Danxin Sect. I thought he'd be ungrateful and try to ask me for an exorbitant price, but I didn't expect him to be so useless. He agreed immediately and is practically begging my Daojie Palace to save him."
Seeing Yi Yun's spinelessness, Chu Pingyun Yi Yun a hint of disdain. Daojie Palace had investigated Yi Yun before and gave him a fairly high evaluation, calling him a "young hero" and saying that he "might become the Medicine Saint in the future." Now it seems that Yi Yun is just a cowardly good-for-nothing.
"Prince Tianhao, did you have a grudge against this person before?"
Chu Pingyun transmitted his voice to Prince Tianhao. He disdained Yi Yun's words and actions, but for the sake of interests, he had no choice but to continue to feign compliance with Yi Yun.
"Don't compare me to him. This Yi Yun just stumbled upon some good fortune; he's a good-for-nothing. Even if he gets treasures, they're useless to him. He's only afraid of the Danxin Sect. Brother Pingyun, we agreed before that the divine cauldron would be yours, the spirit jade would be mine, and I would be able to study the inheritance for half a year. Don't forget that!"
"Of course!" Chu Pingyun nodded. "Once we get the stuff, our Daojie Palace will also destroy Yi Yun's dantian. Then we'll send him to Your Highness's residence, where Your Highness can decide whether to kill or punish him."
After Chu Pingyun finished transmitting his voice, he looked at Yi Yun with a smile on his face and said, "Young Master Yi, there's no need to be so polite. My Daojie Palace said they would give you two God King Immortal Jade Young Master Yi."
Seeing Chu Pingyun's treacherous conversation with Yi Yun, Jingyue Yin could no longer bear it. What exactly was Yi Yun planning to do? Did he really trust this Chu Pingyun?
"Brother Chu, you flatter me. As the saying goes, treasures belong to the capable. Although I obtained that Ancient Inheritance, I simply did not have the strength to protect it. Giving it to the Daojie Palace is making the best use of it. Brother Chu, you have helped me. I am quite satisfied if I can keep a few tens of millions of spirit jades for my own expenses. By the way, the contents of this ring should also be given to Brother Chu."
Yi Yun spoke, he handed Chu Pingyun a Space Ring.
The Space Ring looked very ancient. Chu Pingyun's heart skipped a beat. Was this the kind of thing they were going to give him?
That Yi Yun is so stupid!
In the eight or nine hundred years since Chu Pingyun grew up, he had committed many murders and robberies, but this was the first time he had encountered such a foolish prey!
Chu Pingyun calmly accepted the Space Ring. He scanned it with his Spiritual Sense and found that the ring was full of various scrolls. These scrolls looked as if they had been through countless years, and the formations in many of them were broken, which greatly shocked Chu Pingyun.
Even though he usually kept his emotions hidden, he was overjoyed at this moment. Could it be that he had finally gotten his hands on it?
He used his Spiritual Sense to probe some of the scrolls, and felt that the surface of these scrolls seemed to be shrouded in an ancient and desolate aura, the aura of an unparalleled powerhouse!
Because of this aura, Chu Pingyun's Spiritual Sense could not fully see the contents of the scroll. He only felt that there were dense ancient characters inside, shrouded in mist, seemingly both real and illusory.
Chu Pingyun really wanted to burst out laughing. He never expected that after so many years, these scrolls could still retain the aura of ancient powerhouses. They were truly extraordinary.
He was now eager to examine the scroll, but of course, he had to kill Yi Yun first.
He hadn't expected Yi Yun to hand over the item so easily, which disrupted his original plan to deal with Yi Yun, forcing him to reconsider.
"Sect Leader Yi, are you really handing over your legacy to this Chu Pingyun?"
Seeing Yi Yun hand over the Space Ring, Jingyue Yin became somewhat anxious. She didn't think Yi Yun was a reckless person, so why would he do such a thing?
"Don't worry, senior, I know what I'm doing."
Yi Yun transmitted his voice, and at this moment, Jingyue Yin didn't know what to say. She suddenly realized that many people around her had been intentionally or unintentionally scanning this place with their Spiritual Sense.
Yi Yun's words and his act of handing over the Space Ring were noticed by many observant people.
There are many experts at the Tiannan Peak Summit!
Jingyue Yin frowned. If Yi Yun wanted to hand everything over to the Daojie Palace and let Danxin Sect fight with the Daojie Palace while he could stay out of it, then he was being too naive.
Neither the Danxin Sect nor the Daojie Palace will let Yi Yun go!
In fact, this would only benefit the Daojie Palace. The Daojie Palace is not afraid of the Danxin Sect at all; they are clearly here to snatch food from the tiger's mouth. This is also why Chu Pingyun is not afraid of being noticed. Once you've decided to grab the treasure, how could you possibly hide it?
