The Center of Attention

At this moment, the three of them had stood up and were standing beside Yi Yun. Their actions and expressions said it all: the contract had truly been formed, but no one knew exactly what had happened.

All they saw was that less than an hour ago, Chu Pingyun and the others came to threaten Yi Yun, and then this is how it all happened.

"Young Master Yi, how could this be?"

"Jingyue Sha said in surprise," Yi Yun coughed twice. Although he had heard the old snake's spiritual transmission and knew that he would receive these three slaves, he did not expect the old snake to arrange such a high-profile and ostentatious scene. Originally, he thought that it would be fine to receive them quietly.

Especially...

Yi Yun looked at Prince Tianhao. This was Yunze City, the territory of the Cloud-Leaving Empire. It was too much to just take over someone else's Imperial Prince like this.

Sensing Yi Yun's gaze, Prince Tianhao's eyes showed a hint of struggle. Although the Slave Seal was domineering, it did not deprive slaves of their self-awareness. Prince Tianhao and Chu Pingyun both retained their original personalities and previous memories.

The two men harbored deep resentment towards Yi Yun, wishing they could tear Yi Yun to pieces. But fate played a cruel trick on them, and they ended up becoming Yi Yun's servants. The bitterness in their hearts was unimaginable.

They can only blame themselves for plotting against Yi Yun and trying to obtain Yi Yun inheritance. If they had known this would happen, they would have regretted it.

At this moment, even Yi Yun felt that he had tricked them too badly, so Yi Yun felt sympathetic towards the struggle in their eyes. "Ahem, even I'm a little embarrassed."

Chu Pingyun gave a bitter laugh. Although he had self-awareness, he was restrained by the Slave Seal, so no matter how much he hated Yi Yun, he couldn't show any hostility. "Master, what are you saying? We were driven to the brink by the Danxin Sect and almost became their slaves. The outcome might have been even worse than it is now."

"Yi Yun! What did you do to Tian Hao?!"

Just then, a voice, aged yet dignified, rang out. The speaker was Prince Yi!

Prince Tianhao is a member of the royal family. At the Tiannan Peak Summit, it was outrageous that a member of the royal family was reduced to a servant.

As Prince Yi spoke, another streak of light shot in from the horizon. The person was incredibly fast, arriving at the square almost instantly.

There were fifteen people in total. Upon seeing their appearance and attire, everyone present held their breath.

"True Lord Qisha!"

"There are also people from the Path of God Annihilation Dao!"

The True Lord Qisha is a renowned figure in the Tiannan Great World. He is incredibly powerful and bloodthirsty. Although he is not the head of the Danxin Sect in the Tiannan Great World, he is the number one expert below the Danxin Sect's patriarch!

As for the patriarch of the Danxin Sect, it is said that he has sealed himself into the Blood Fiend Jade and fallen into a deep sleep in order to prolong his life. He usually does not take action. Therefore, in reality, the True Lord Qisha represents the highest combat power of the Danxin Sect in the Tiannan Great World.

The fact that even the True Lord Qisha has appeared demonstrates the immense power of the Danxin Sect. Not to mention, they have also hired people from the God Annihilation Dao!

"What is the Danxin Sect doing? Almost all of their experts have appeared, and they even spared no expense to hire people from the God Annihilation Dao, all for Yi Yun?"

"Why make such a fuss over a junior?"

People were astonished; at this point, the Tiannan Peak Summit was no longer just a martial arts competition.

With such a major event occurring, many people are eager to watch the excitement and even hope for a major battle to break out on the spot. Although fighting is prohibited in Yunze City, who is the True Lord Qisha? If he really makes a move here, probably no one will dare to stop him!

"Yi Yun, you're very good!" The Old Monster Qisha stared at Yi Yun, his eyes filled with murderous intent. "First, you plotted to kill Su Boyang, Wang Chongming, Gui Yunji, and a group of talented disciples of my Danxin Sect. Then you framed the Daojie Palace, causing my Danxin Sect and the Daojie Palace to fight each other, and then you reaped the benefits. Very good! Very good!"

At this point in the Old Monster Qisha's speech, everyone in the audience held their breath. Su Boyang was dead?

Su Boyang was originally slated to represent the Danxin Sect at the Tiannan Peak Summit, while Su Muyan and other young talents were also considered top contenders in the martial arts tournament. Although they weren't guaranteed to win, they were sure to achieve impressive results. People had been wondering why no one from the Danxin Sect was present as the tournament was about to begin, but now they knew they were dead!

In addition, Wang Chongming and Gui Yunji are both renowned combat elders of the Danxin Sect. Gui Yunji's Soul Refining Technique is particularly chilling. To die at her hands would be a nightmare. Some martial artists with low cultivation fear Gui Yunji even more than they fear the True Lord Qisha!

Such a master of demon refining, who had roamed the Tiannan Great World for tens of thousands of years, actually died?

For a time, people were filled with unimaginable shock. The fall of so many masters, coupled with Chu Shanhe becoming a servant, meant that the Tiannan Great World had not seen such a major upheaval in a thousand years.

And all of this started because of Yi Yun.

"Prince Yi, I hope you can uphold justice. This is the Tiannan Peak Summit hosted by the Cloud-Leaving Empire, yet such chaos has occurred. I hope Prince Yi can join forces with my Danxin Sect to capture this person!"

True Lord Qisha spoke loudly. Upon hearing these words, Prince Yi's expression darkened. Although he had reprimanded Yi Yun for taking Prince Tianhao as a servant, he had to consider the pros and cons if he were to join forces with the Danxin Sect to deal with Yi Yun.

Despite the Danxin Sect's massive mobilization, they gained no advantage, leading him to suspect that Yi Yun must have a powerful expert secretly protecting him.

If Prince Yi were to send his forces stationed in Yunze City to make a move, they might end up being used as pawns by the Danxin Sect. He would never do such a thing if there were no benefit for him.

Prince Yi did not respond, and the situation reached a stalemate. True Lord Qisha simply stared at Yi Yun with a grim face, trying to gauge the strength of the hidden expert. To be able to take Chu Shanhe and the others away right under his nose, this person's strength was even greater than his own! Especially since the other party was hiding in the shadows, True Lord Qisha had already scanned the square several times with his senses but had not found anything unusual. This made True Lord Qisha wary, worried about a sneak attack.

At this moment, Yi Yun, who was at the center of the storm, was not nervous. Although the situation had developed to this point, it would not be difficult for him to get out unscathed if he only wanted to.

If the opponent really attacks recklessly, his three newly recruited servants can swarm in and hold them off for a few breaths. In that time, he can use the God Descending Tower to collect all the disciples of Pure Moon Island, and then the old snake can tear through space and take them away from the Tiannan Great World. As for the Undying Grass that the old snake covets, they can come back for it later.

Just then, True Lord Qisha moved his lips slightly and transmitted his voice to Prince Yi: "Prince Yi, my Danxin Sect has even better Longevity Pill. If Yunze City is willing to help, I can send you a bottle, which will extend your life by at least eight thousand years! In addition, I will also offer you God King Immortal Jade Prince Yi!"

"Um!?"

Upon hearing the words of the True Lord Qisha, a glint of light appeared in Prince Yi's previously murky eyes.

"Really?"

"I can swear an oath!"

"Good!" Prince Yi took a deep breath. The Longevity Pill was too tempting for him. He took out a command flag.

During the Tiannan Peak Summit, the entire Cloud-Leaving Empire dispatched a large force to guard Yunze City, and these troops were all under the command of Prince Yi!

As Prince Yi raised the command flag in his hand, the energy of the entire Yunze City stirred, the earth trembled slightly, and divine runes appeared out of thin air from the ground, floating into the air and spreading throughout the entire Yunze City.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh--"

The sound of a dragon flapping its wings echoed in everyone's ears. When people looked up, the entire sky was sealed off by divine runes of law. At this moment, Yunze City seemed to be covered by a giant bowl of light.

"It's City Protection Array!"

"The City Protection Array of Yunze City has probably not been activated for hundreds of years!"

People were terrified. After all, the Cloud-Leaving Empire had been operating in the Tiannan Great World for tens of millions of years. In those tens of millions of years, the Cloud-Leaving Empire had only built two major cities: the imperial Yunze City and Yunze City was activated, it would isolate the city from the outside world. People did not expect that Prince Yi would directly activate the City Protection Array in order to capture Yi Yun.

Seeing this, True Lord Qisha was very satisfied. He looked at Yi Yun and a sinister smile appeared on his lips. Even if Yi Yun had a powerful expert behind him, he wouldn't be able to do anything to this City Protection Array!

"The Divine Guard Army!"

Prince Yi gave a low shout, and from the palaces surrounding the square, rows of soldiers in golden armor appeared. These soldiers, holding spears, surrounded the entire square, their spears gleaming with golden light, and were integrated with the City Protection Array.

At the same time, several enormous Spiritual Beast took flight, circling the central square. Riding Spiritual Beast the commanders of the Divine Guard Army, all of whom possessed the cultivation level of Venerable.

Although each of the 10,000 Divine Guard Army is not particularly strong individually, when they form a great formation, no Divine Lord would dare to underestimate them!

"Yi Yun, you have violated the rules of my Yunze City. I am about to capture you. If you surrender, I may spare your life."

Prince Yi, holding the command flag, seemed like a completely different person. The weariness on his body vanished, and he appeared to have become a mighty general, commanding all directions with no one daring to disobey.

"To all of you gathered in the square today, as long as you help my Danxin Sect and the Cloud-Leaving Empire capture Yi Yun, my Danxin Sect will not treat you unfairly. My Danxin Sect will offer 100 million spirit jades and a massive amount of pills as rewards."

At this critical juncture, True Lord Qisha spoke up. Although he was bloodthirsty, he was not reckless. Because of the expert behind Yi Yun, he would be extremely cautious. With a great reward, there would surely be brave men. By letting others clear the way, he could avoid the danger of being ambushed by that expert.

Many people were tempted by what True Lord Qisha said. After all, Yi Yun was now the target of everyone's anger. Even if they couldn't get the meat, they could still have a sip of soup.
