The Huang Family's request for protection was, in the end, only a brief interlude for Li Yun. Once he had sent Huang Yanshu and her servant away, he put it out of his mind.
What truly surprised him was that the Nine Suns Sword Sect behind Gu Sha had never come to make trouble for him.
That was clearly strange.
Gu Sha had been a Black Gold Divine Lord–level elder of the Nine Suns Sword Sect, after all. Li Yun, an outsider, had killed him in full view of everyone, yet the sect had shown no reaction. Weren't they afraid of being laughed at?

It was as though the realm's many mergers had awakened the vitality hidden deep within it.
That rising vitality not only caused wondrous Divine Medicine and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to appear throughout the Myriad Gods
