If he lost control next time and exposed his true form, he might well die in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"Your Highness, you really mustn't lash out so casually next time~ It would be bad if you exposed yourself."
Ye Yun tipped his head back and said it rather casually.
Xiao Wu and Tang San snapped back to themselves and instinctively shielded Ye Yun behind them.
"Hey! What are you doing?! Trying to attack us for no reason, huh?! We're not scared of you!"
Tang San said nothing, but the muscles in his right hand were taut, and the faint sound of metal clashing could even be heard.
Xue Qinghe suppressed the shock in her heart, and apology immediately appeared on her face.
"My apologies. I was too rash. It's just that young friend Ye Yun's cultivation is far too astonishing. I found it hard to believe for a moment, so I instinctively wanted to verify it. I meant no harm."
She appeared gentle as she apologized, but inside, stormy waves had already risen, and her guard shot instantly to the highest level.
What did that child mean by what he had just said?
Exposed?
Could he have seen through her true identity?
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Her disguise was flawless. The aura and soul power belonging to Qian Renxue had been completely restrained. Unless she exposed herself voluntarily, or a powerhouse like her grandfather personally descended and saw through it, there was absolutely no one in this world who could see through her disguise!
Ning Fengzhi did not know what he was thinking and only assumed he was regretting his earlier recklessness, so he hurried forward to smooth things over.
But inwardly, he gave a helpless, bitter smile.
The thing he had worried about most had still happened.
The strange power Ye Yun had unintentionally revealed just now had surely made Qinghe suspicious. After all his efforts to conceal it, a flaw had still appeared in the end.
And judging from Ye Yun's behavior, it seemed he also had some intention of exposing it on his own. From here on, they could only adjust their strategy depending on the situation.
"Xiao Wu, Xiao San, Xiao Yun, don't be angry. Qinghe merely lost his composure for a moment. He did not mean to target you."
Hearing this, Xue Qinghe gathered herself, pressed down the suspicion and vigilance filling her heart, and followed the opening he had given her.
"That's right. But no matter what, I was the one who was rude first just now."
As she spoke, he took three fully gilded imperial tokens from his soul tool and handed them to the three of them.
"Take these three Crown Prince gold tokens as my apology. Whoever holds this token is as good as facing me in person. If you run into trouble outside in the future, you may enter the palace with the token to find me at any time."
Xiao Wu and Tang San did not move. Instead, they looked at Ye Yun. Only when they saw him nod did the two reach out and accept them.
After handing the tokens to the three of them one by one, Xue Qinghe could no longer suppress the intense curiosity in her heart. Her gaze fixed tightly on Ye Yun as she spoke, asking solemnly.
"Young Brother Ye Yun, what exactly was that power that protected you just now? I didn't sense the slightest soul power fluctuation from it."
"This thing was made by imitating the SAM IV of my other teacher, Firefly. It's called Armor No. 2."
Xue Qinghe frowned, turning it over and over in her mind, but she could not find any information related to Firefly. She then looked at Ning Fengzhi, seeking an answer.
Ning Fengzhi, off to the side, was just as shocked, but he did know a little about the matter. He immediately began explaining.
"Qinghe, it's normal that you haven't heard of her. This teacher Firefly likely isn't from Douluo Continent, but from the distant overseas Universe Continent."
"Universe Continent?"
Xue Qinghe's face was full of astonishment, and the confusion in her eyes deepened.
She had read the continent's histories and classics extensively since childhood, and knew that beyond Douluo Continent, there was only the isolated Sea God Island. Apart from that, there was no other inhabited land.
Yet now, a Universe Continent she had never heard of had appeared out of thin air!
Ning Fengzhi sighed softly, his expression grave and carrying a hint of helplessness and self-reproach.
"Precisely because this matter is so inconceivable, and concerns a secret land beyond our domain, I never reported it to the Heaven Dou Empire. I originally intended to secretly send people to investigate and confirm the truth before making plans.
But even now, intelligence regarding the Universe Continent remains pitifully scarce. We haven't been able to find even the slightest useful information... sigh... the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has failed the empire."
He shook his head slightly and sighed, his face showing shame, looking as though he had spent a long time investigating to no avail and felt deeply derelict in his duty.
Xue Qinghe inwardly cursed him as an old fox. Failed the empire, had he?
If she had not happened to discover it, he would probably still have kept her in the dark and tried to monopolize this opportunity for himself, wouldn't he?
Tang San was completely baffled by what he heard and could not help asking, "Brother Yun, what exactly is this Universe Continent?"
At the sound, Ye Yun and Xiao Wu both froze at the same time. The two exchanged a look, and both of their eyes were filled with confusion.
"Hm?" ×2
"You didn't tell him?" ×2
"I thought you would tell him!" ×2
Xiao Wu curled her lip and gave Tang San a disdainful look.
"Brother, Rongrong and I don't even play with him. How could we possibly tell him?"
Tang San scratched his head.
"So what exactly is going on?"
"Brother Ye Yun, I'm terribly curious as well. Why don't you tell us?"
Xue Qinghe looked at Ye Yun with burning eyes. If his guess was right, this young man had to be the inheritor of a divine position from another continent!
Ye Yun closed his eyes and slowly walked to the doorway, turning his back to the others. It was time to bring them some of Brother Sunday's absolutely peerless ideology!
"The Universe Continent is a place even vaster than the Douluo Continent. Not only is its technology advanced, it is also a land blessed by gods.
Our family has worshiped the Aeon of [Harmony] for generations. We are its most faithful followers, and from beginning to end, we have abided by and practiced the ideals passed down by the Aeon!"
"God?!"
Ning Fengzhi's heart shook violently, the heart in his chest pounding like mad. This time, he had truly made the right bet!
He never would have imagined that the family Ye Yun came from was actually connected to the legendary gods!
No wonder the other party was so young yet had soul power so absurdly high, and even possessed a weapon capable of severely injuring a Title Douluo. Now everything had an answer.
A sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he had already made up his mind: no matter the cost, he had to firmly board this ship!
Once he was aboard, he could naturally cut ties with the Heaven Dou Empire and shift his development to the Universe Continent.
At the side, Xue Qinghe deliberately put on a look of surprise, but there was not the slightest hint of astonishment deep in his eyes.
He really was the inheritor of a god. The only question was which divine position he had inherited.
At the doorway, Ye Yun spread his arms, assuming a posture as though embracing the sky.
Then he slowly turned around. The power of [Harmony] swirled around him, layers of brilliant, multicolored light blooming and intertwining with the warm sunlight that spilled down, making his entire figure appear incomparably holy.
"Are day and night equal?
Are the righteous and the sinner equal?
If people are born weak...
From which god should the weak seek peace?
If the power and wealth of the strong can conceal their crimes, who can pass judgment upon them?
If the weak must pay any price to continue surviving, who can stand as their guarantor?
If even souls of purest goodness can make mistakes, who can offer them comfort?
And I shall become their sun! I shall guide them forward! By the command of a flawless movement, I shall create paradise anew!!"
As Ye Yun's words fell, the power of [Harmony] reached its peak in an instant. This was a resonance born from thought.
"Buzz—"
Xiao Wu felt the [Harmony] mark on her lower abdomen grow a little hot, carrying an indescribable sense of closeness that swept through her entire body. She subconsciously raised a hand to gently cover her lower abdomen, a trace of surprise flashing across her pretty face.
At the same time, an unfathomably profound will silently spread out, filling the entire hall.
Aside from Xiao Wu, in the minds of Ning Fengzhi, Xue Qinghe, and everyone else, an ethereal, vast voice resounded at the same time, striking straight into the depths of their souls.
"Become one... Become one..."
