Wu Tian could not possibly withstand the attack of a Sword Saint. When he saw the rain of swords pouring down from the sky, his face changed dramatically.
“Teach Master, save me!”
Wu Tian cried out loudly for help.
“Stop!” Wuji Heavenly Venerable pressed out with a palm. A massive palm imprint, like a dark cloud, blotted out the sky and protected Wu Tian below it.
Clang, clang, clang!
The rain of swords fell upon the palm imprint, striking bursts of sparks with metallic ringing sounds.
“Yun Shan, Wu Tian is my man,” Wuji Heavenly Venerable said coldly.
At once, the cultivators kneeling on the ground finally learned Yun Shan’s identity. One by one, their minds reeled in shock.
“What? He is the Sect Master of the Qingyun Sword Sect?”
“Who would have thought that Fairy Yun Xi is actually the daughter of Sect Master Yun Shan? What a surprise.”
“The Beast Emperor Sect has already submitted to the Yin-Yang Sect. I wonder if Sect Master Yun Shan can kill Wu Tian?”
Just then, Yun Shan coldly shouted, “Even if he belongs to the King of Heaven himself, as long as he dares to harbour killing intent towards my daughter, I will slay him all the same.”
Boom!
In an instant, a terrifying aura swept across the firmament, dreadful to the extreme.
The cultivators kneeling on the ground trembled with fear, terrified of being killed by the residual might of Saints.
Fortunately, Yun Shan harboured no killing intent towards them.
“Yun Shan, this seat advises you not to…” Before Wuji Heavenly Venerable could finish his words, a sword qi with a whoosh directly shattered his palm imprint.
The next second, the sword qi descended through the air, slashing straight towards Wu Tian.
“Ah…”
Before the sword qi even landed, its powerful killing intent shattered Wu Tian’s body, sending blood splattering everywhere.
Wu Tian’s primordial spirit hurriedly shot towards the sky, evading that sword qi. Unexpectedly, before he could escape, a large hand flashed like lightning and seized his primordial spirit in its grasp.
“Yun Shan, release Wu Tian,” Wuji Heavenly Venerable shouted.
Yun Shan did not even glance at Wuji Heavenly Venerable.
Wu Tian himself was scared out of his wits. In terror, he begged for mercy, “Sect Master Yun Shan, I beg you not to kill me. I was muddled just now. From now on, I will never dare again…”
“There is no from now on.” Before Wu Tian could finish speaking, divine light flowed across Yun Shan’s hand.
Bang!
Wu Tian’s primordial spirit exploded.
The cultivators on the ground, witnessing this scene, broke out in cold sweat all over their bodies.
One must know that Wu Tian was not only the Sect Master of the Beast Emperor Sect but also a peak Tongshen powerhouse, yet Yun Shan had slain him with ease.
It was truly terrifying!
Wuji Heavenly Venerable flew into a great rage. Yun Shan had killed Wu Tian right in front of him, which was simply slapping him in the face.
After all, everyone present knew that the Beast Emperor Sect had submitted to the Yin-Yang Sect, and Wu Tian was his subordinate.
“Yun Shan, killing my man in front of this seat, do you still have this seat in your eyes?” Wuji Heavenly Venerable roared sternly.
Yun Shan chuckled and said, “Heavenly Venerable, I merely killed one of your dogs. Why be so angry?”
“Moreover, precisely because I hold you in my eyes, I helped you slaughter this dog.”
“Think about it. If this dog of yours had succeeded in killing Xi’er, then our two factions would inevitably fight to the death. By doing this, he was clearly trying to provoke war between our factions. His heart is punishable by death.”
“By helping you slaughter him, you should thank me instead.”
Wuji Heavenly Venerable was so furious that his nose nearly crooked.
You killed my man and still want me to thank you? Have you no shame?
Yun Shan then changed the subject, exuding dominance as he said, “Xi’er is my only child. She is the apple of my eye. Whoever dares to touch her, I will exterminate his entire clan.”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the several Saints present all changed.
Yun Shan’s words were clearly a warning to them.
As for Yun Xi, hearing Yun Shan’s words filled her with emotion. She felt only warmth in her heart.
Whoosh!
Yun Shan withdrew that heaven-piercing giant sword and also restrained the powerful aura on his body. In one step, he landed in front of Yun Xi.
“Pay respects to the Sect Master!”
The disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect thudded to their knees and shouted in unison.
“All rise!” Yun Shan looked at Yun Xi and asked gently, “Xi’er, are you alright?”
Yun Xi shook her head and smiled, “I am fine.”
“Come back with me!” After Yun Shan finished speaking, he turned to leave.
However, Yun Xi stood in place without moving.
Yun Shan turned back to look at Yun Xi and asked puzzledly, “Why are you not leaving?”
Yun Xi bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and said, “Father, can we wait a little longer before leaving?”
Yun Shan immediately thought of the scenes he had seen through the formation and inwardly mused, “Could it be that Xi’er wants to bring that boy to the Qingyun Sword Sect?”
Thinking of this, Yun Shan asked, “Xi’er, are you waiting for someone?”
Yun Xi did not conceal it and said, “Father, I have a friend still inside. He will come out soon. Father, later, could you help bring him away from here?”
Yun Xi was very worried about Ye Qiu’s safety. With several Saint-level powerhouses here, if Yun Shan did not help, Ye Qiu would undoubtedly die.
Yun Shan’s eyes instantly sharpened as he asked, “Friend? What kind of friend?”
In truth, he already knew everything but was asking knowingly.
Yun Xi lowered her head, not daring to meet Yun Shan’s gaze, and said, “A good friend.”
Yun Shan smiled again, “Alright then. Since we are already here, we might as well stay a bit longer.”
“I also want to see what kind of person your good friend is.”
Seeing Yun Shan agree, Yun Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
She did not know that, at this very moment, Yun Shan was inwardly thinking, “Ye Changsheng, oh Ye Changsheng, you dared to deceive my daughter. When you come out, I will certainly execute you here.”
…
At the same time.
Inside the Immortal Mountain.
Ye Qiu and the Long-Browed Daoist still had no idea of everything that had happened outside.
“Little brat, didn’t Fairy Yun Xi say she would send you a message? Why has there been no message until now?” the Long-Browed Daoist asked.
“I do not know.” Ye Qiu also found it strange. Why had Yun Xi not sent a message?
How could they know that, let alone Yun Xi, even a Saint-level powerhouse could not possibly transmit a message from outside into here?
Moreover, Yun Xi had not made any attempt to send a message because, in her view, since Yun Shan had arrived, there was no fear of the other Saint-level powerhouses, so Ye Qiu was in no danger.
The little white fox said, “Perhaps she has already encountered danger.”
“Stop jinxing it.” Ye Qiu glared at the little white fox. Suddenly inspired, he said, “Old fellow, divine a hexagram and see whether leaving the mountain is auspicious or ominous for us?”
“Very well.” The Long-Browed Daoist immediately took out three copper coins, tossed them into the air, and muttered incantations under his breath.
The three copper coins spun above the Long-Browed Daoist’s head for a while before falling into his palm with a clack.
“How is the hexagram?” Ye Qiu asked.
The Long-Browed Daoist’s face looked extremely grim as he said gravely, “An omen of great peril.”
That’s it!
“Little fox, you will have to endure some grievance for a while.” After Ye Qiu finished speaking, he tossed the little white fox into the Qiankun bag and then strode towards the rift.
“Old fellow, we are leaving the mountain!”
