3. Chapter 201 - 300

Chapter 201

After he finished off all of the elders, Yi Tianyun walked over toward Wang Family Head and looked at him with an ice-cold glare.

"Who are you? Why are you doing this to us? What have we ever done to you!" Wang Family Head said desperately. He lost the family that he built from scratch himself! There was nothing that he could do anymore, with almost all his men being wiped out and all the buildings filled with all his wealth and treasures collapsed, there was no coming back from this.

"If you really need a reason, then I can give you some reason for you. "Lin Li' is that a good enough reason?" Yi Tianyun said sarcastically.

"Lin Li provoked you? He is not part of our family! He is from the Divine Rune Mansion! You misdirect your anger here!" Wang Family Chief said desperately.

"Are you really that stupid? Of course, Lin Li isn't alone in his stupid actions. There is a pair of brothers helping him under your order, Wang Qing and Wang Shui. Do those names ring a bell? or are you gonna say that you're amnesia?" Yi Tianyun said sarcastically.

"Wang Qing Elder? Wait! Are you that brat's associate?" Wang Family Head said, shocked from the truth in front of him.

"No, of course not!" Yi Tianyun said while taking off the Hundred Transformation Mask covering his face.

"It's you!" Wang Family Head said with a bulging eye.

"Who else do you think would attack you? Or do you have that many enemies?" Yi Tianyun said mockingly.

"Let this be a lesson not to provoke anyone you don't have any clue about later in your next life!" Yi Tianyun said while signaling his dragon to come over.

"Wait! You can't do this! I am one of the Family Heads of Star Pavilion! If you kill me, Star Pavilion won't let you live!" Wang Family Chief said desperately.

"Do you think anyone would recognize me?" Yi Tianyun said while putting back his Hundred Transformation Mask, changing his face once again.

"YOU FUCKER!" the last word Wang Family Head shouted before his death as the black dragon burned him alive,

'DING!'

'Successfully killed the Wang Family Chief!'

'Reward: 270.000 Exp, 3.600 Crazy Points, 1.000 Divine Rune Proficiency Mastery Points, 100 Sin Points, Cloud Waves Palm Martial Art, Heavenly Wind Fist, 1x High-Grade Divine Rune Paper, 100.000 Exp Pill'

Destroying the Wang Family wasn't even that hard for Yi Tianyun, and it didn't take too long. There was nothing that hindered Yi Tianyun's action for now, yet he couldn't help but think that this would get messy if the Wang Family successfully requested for their support!

Sure, Yi Tianyun wouldn't be afraid of the incoming support, but it would complicate things in the future!

Yi Tianyun shook his head and proceeded to collect every storage ring he could find and any good treasure in the buildings.

He knew that Heavenly Jade Sect was still missing a lot of resources to become a 3rd Grade Faction, so he needed to find a lot of resources!

After he was done searching the place, he unsummoned the black dragon and flew off the vicinity using his phoenix wings.

Once Yi Tianyun flew far away from the place, support from Star Pavilion finally arrived at the Wang Family's residence. They were all stunned, seeing the place was in shambles! There was nothing usable left from the building, and there were so many burnt corpses on the ground and burnt marks all over the place.

"What the hell is this? This is not an ordinary flame! It's an Alchemy Master flame or Blacksmith Master's flame! Why would the Wang Family provoke such a person?" One of the Star Pavilion elders said as he investigated the place.

"That is still unclear! But there is no more Wang Family for sure! I need to get back and report this as soon as possible! We can't find any info about the attacker. Still, as the fact goes, no one in our level dare to provoke Star Pavilion, as this must be done by a stronger faction!" Another one of the Star Pavilion elders said seriously.

"Is it the empire?" another elder said worriedly.

"It can't be, why would the Wang Family provoke the empire? I don't think they are that stupid." The first elder said hastily.

They all simultaneously shook their heads and left the vicinity to get back and report on what they had seen.

Soon enough, the news about Wang Family being wiped out was spread all around, causing some mockery toward Star Pavilion. This news angered Star Pavilion to a tee! This is like a blow to the face as Wang Family was one of their main subdivisions.

Star Pavilion soon enough sent a search order to find any sort of information about the one behind Wang Family's destruction! They imprisoned anyone resembling the description provided by some eyewitness. At the end of the day, they issued a wanted poster providing all the information about the attacker as they couldn't find him anywhere!

'Wanted: 27-Year old cultivator with unknown cultivation base. Has a Black Dragon Divine Beast as his mount. If you can provide any information regarding this person, you will receive rewards from Star Pavilion! Anyone who could personally capture the said person, you will receive a High-Grade soul tool, 5th Grade Medicinal Pill, 1.000.000 Gold! Dead Or Alive!'

Yi Tianyun read over the news with a smile, as he knew that this news was completely unusable!

Chapter 202

After Yi Tianyun crushed the Wang Family, he quickly returned back to the Inn where two sisters and Ren Zhirou were waiting.

"Elder Yi, are you alright?" Yi Yuwei asked worriedly, Yi Yuxuan was also looking at Yi Tianyun worriedly!

"Of course! Why wouldn't I be?" Yi Tianyun said casually. After he looked around, he noticed that Ren Zhirou wasn't in the room like the two sisters.

"Where did Miss Ren go?" Yi Tianyun asked the two sisters.

"She is standing outside, I don't know why she did that. I am struggling to ask her to just stay in the room as she seems a bit cold." Yi Yuwei said with an embarrassed face.

Yi Tianyun headed out to the balcony where Yi Yuwei said she would be.

"Miss Ren, why are you standing outside here, all alone?" Yi Tianyun asked kindly, with a smile on his face.

"I remember something when I saw you fighting earlier. I remembered where my family was! I think I'm starting to recall the memories of my brother." Ren Zhirou said while looking at the distance.

"Now, you know that I am not your brother right." Yi Tianyun said with a kind smile.

"Yeah, I know that now. But you are very similar to him in a way. You are kind and honest, and something about you just reminded me of my brother. Usually, he would wait for me to wake up, but I don't know why he didn't wait for me this time." Ren Zhirou said with a sad face.

"Hmm, it's obvious that something big must've happened. That place has been secret and untouched for a long time, I think." Yi Tianyun speculated as he found it quite unusual too.

"Well, I must find out what happened. I can't speculate about what happened without seeing it myself! I shouldn't waste any more time, I must leave immediately!" Ren Zhirou said with a resolved look on her face.

"You want to leave now?" Yi Tianyun asked quite surprisedly.

"Do you want my help?" Yi Tianyun asked as he felt somehow responsible.

"No, there is something that I have to resolve myself. Brother Yi, I hope that our path will cross again someday, until then, goodbye!" Ren Zhirou said while leaping into the air. A bright wing sprouted from her back, and she flew into the sky quickly.

This is one of Core Transformation cultivator's powers. They could condense their power into wings to fly!

'DING!'

'Successfully activated hidden chain quest [Help the Empire's Goddess!]'

'Reward: 50.000.000 Exp, 1.000.000 Crazy Points, 200 Ren Zhirou Favorability points, [Empire God Protector] Title.'

(Quest note: your choice may affect the pattern of the quest. Completing the quest may affect the future!)

Yi Tianyun was surprised after he saw the quest. Ren Zhirou was the Empire's Goddess? Also, the quest completion may affect the future? This was his second quest, which will have an enormous impact!

This quest was even more ominous, as the empire's rules were very strict, and not everybody had the chance to go in and out easily! He must think carefully whether to do this quest or straight up ignore it, as his surrounding situation would be affected as well.

His last quest didn't affect his immediate surroundings that much, as he only released Ye Qingxuan from her prison. It's her choice that would affect the world not him!

"No wonder she is so powerful! She is the Empire's Goddess!" Yi Tianyun said while shaking his head.

Yi Yuwei approached Yi Tianyun from inside and asked, "What happened to Miss Ren? Where is she?" she asked wonderingly.

"She returned home. And we should too, let's return to Heavenly Jade Sect so that you two could rest." Yi Tianyun said with a smile.

She nodded as she knew that Yi Tianyun had another thing to do here in the Heavenly Border Continent, and looking after her and her sister won't do him any good.

When they were on their way to Heavenly Jade Sect, everyone in the city was in a ruckus discussing the recent news of the fallen Wang Family and the unknown assailant riding a black dragon!

Hearing the black dragon part, Yi Yuxuan realized that the one attacking the Wang Family was none other than Yi Tianyun. She quickly realized how powerful Yi Tianyun really was!

"Let's go, there is nothing to do here anymore." Yi Tianyun said as he continued to walk toward the Heavenly New City's gate.

As they walked quite far enough from the city, Yi Tianyun hugged the two sisters, causing their faces to turn red.

"Ready to fly back to Heavenly Jade Sect?" Yi Tianyun asked as he activated his Phoenix Wing.

The two sisters both had a shocked expression as they saw Yi Tianyun's wings.

"Elder Yi! Did you already break into Core Transformation?" Yuwei asked excitedly.

"As much as I want to say that was the case, but sadly no, I am not a Core Transformation cultivator just yet. Hold that thought for later, now you have to bear the wind a little bit, we will arrive at Heavenly Jade Sect in no time!" Yi Tianyun said with a smile.

He didn't want to use the black dragon to fly just yet, as Star Pavilion was on the lookout for any figure riding on a black dragon. He didn't want to lead the suspicion back to Heavenly Jade Sect!

The two sisters looked at each other excitedly as they would be flying in Yi Tian Yun embraces.

As Yi Tianyun saw the two sisters smiling at each other, he couldn't help but feel that there was something funny about him now.

Chapter 203

With the Phoenix Wing, Yi Tianyun arrived at Heavenly Jade Sect not that much slower than using the black dragon. The thing is, these wings weren't at their best just yet. If Yi Tianyun reached the Core Transformation Stage, his flying speed would be enhanced 3 times by his wings effect! Which was so much faster than any winged creature!

As he landed, Yi Tianyun put down the two sisters and went inside the Heavenly Jade Sect. As he came in, he realized that the amount of disciples strolling around has increased!

"Elder Yi! Elder Zhu!" The disciples shouted as they walked in.

"You all have to call me Elder Yu in the future, as it might be confusing later if you use my surname." Yuwei said while chuckling.

"Okay, Elder Yu!" They all shouted excitedly. They didn't think of it that much as they didn't know that Yuwei changed her surname to Yi just yet.

Yi Tianyun only shook his head in defeat, the two sisters already made up their mind about the name, so he could only support their decision as best as he could, by allowing it!

"You are back!" Shouted Shi Xueyun as she walked to the front hall.

"I am back!" Yi Tianyun said with a smile.

"Oh yeah, this is Yi Yuxuan! Yi Yuwei's sister." Yi Tianyun said, introducing Yi Yuxuan to Shi Xueyun.

"Nice to meet you, Palace Lord." Yi Yuxuan said respectfully.

"It's okay, you don't need to be so formal to me here, you are free to do what you want around here." Shi Xueyun said with a smile to Yuxuan.

"Now, how come I never receive any news about you?" Shi Xueyun said while puffing her cheeks to Yi Tianyun.

Yi Tianyun immediately explained everything to Shi Xueyun as he didn't want to get lectured by her later.

Yi Yuwei helped by adding some information, as Yi Tianyun explained to Shi Xueyun.

"Now, aunt, I intend to make her an elder, the same as her sister, but I am afraid that it would cause some dissatisfaction among the disciples due to special treatment! So, I would like her to start from Deacon and she will climb to an older position with her own skill. I believe that she would be qualified to do so!" Yi Tianyun said to Shi Xueyun regarding Yi Yuxuan status.

"Elder Yi, there is no need for that! I would gladly help Yuwei here in Heavenly Jade Sect, there is no need for any status! I am already glad that Heavenly Jade Sect wants to take me in." Yi Yuxuan said as she didn't want to cause a misunderstanding later about her status here in Heavenly Jade Sect!

"Nah, that is too stupid for us to neglect you like that! If Elder Yi said that you have the qualification to be an elder, then you are already an elder! But as to honor others, I agree with Elder Yi, you should start from a Deacon and work yourself to an Elder title." Shi Xueyun said casually.

"Thank you so much, Palace Lord!" Yi Yuxuan said while bowing her head, showing great respect toward Shi Xueyun's decision. She would certainly make an all-out effort for Shi Xueyun, to prove to her that her decision wasn't wrong!

After Yi Yuxuan's problem was resolved, Shi Xueyun took a glance at Yi Tianyun.

"You are really skillful! Every time you come back, you successfully bring back another pretty lady!" Shi Xueyun said while pouting.

"Aunt, don't put it like that! You make it like I was some kind of womanizer!" Yi Tianyun said helplessly.

"Haha, it's just a joke, obviously! It doesn't matter who you bring back as long as you come back safely!" Shi Xueyun said warmly.

Yi Tianyun only nodded and asked whether she had broken through her cultivation stage or not.

"Sure, I did! If I don't break through quickly, I should be ashamed as a Palace Lord!" She said while showing a little bit of her Spirit Core aura to Yi Tianyun.

"Don't work too hard, aunt! You still have me don't you!" Yi Tianyun said worriedly.

"Even though I have you, I still want to be stronger! I can't let yourself carry all of the weight of this sect! how could I lead Heavenly Jade Sect to become much more powerful, if I am not strong!" She said boldly.

Yi Tianyun nodded, and he immediately remembered something. He quickly reached inside his inventory and gave Shi Xueyun the storage ring that Lin Li gave as a reward earlier, and Yi Tianyun used it as a place to store the loot from the Wang Family. Although he was sure that there was something worth it to convert to Crazy Points, he still gave it all to Shi Xueyun.

Shi Xueyun took the ring, and without seeing the content of the ring, she put it in her pocket!

"Why don't you see it first, aunt? Don't you wanna know what is inside?" Yi Tianyun asked her, surprised she didn't even bother to check!

"Silly! You obviously work too hard!" Shi Xueyun said while knocking Yi Tianyun's head lightly and hugged him afterward.

"If it's for you and Heavenly Jade Sect's sake, there's no such thing as too hard!" Yi Tianyun said while smiling lightly. Shi Xueyun was moved by Yi Tianyun's words, she felt loved. This word almost made her shed tears.

"It seems that you are no longer the little boy that I need to protect anymore!" Shi Xueyun said while signing to hold her tears.

"Is it not natural that when a kid grows up, he will protect the people he loves?" Yi Tianyun said playfully.

The two exchanged some warm words a little bit more, and they immediately went to do their own job afterward. There was still so much to do for both of them that quality time together was no longer easy to do.

Yi Tianyun walked toward the front door to start repairing the 5th Grade Great Array of Defence.

"Master, are you finally going to fix the great array?" Old Xuan asked when he suddenly appeared beside Yi Tianyun.

"Yeah, is there a problem?" Yi Tianyun said with a smile.

"No, but, if you fail, there is so much that may go wrong, you know." Old Xuan said, unsure how to say it directly to Yi Tianyun.

But as Old Xuan speaks, Yi Tianyun already started repairing the great array.

When Old Xuan was finally able to convey his word, Yi Tianyun had already finished repairing the great array.

"Is that so? What happens if I fail?" Yi Tianyun said while smirking toward Old Xuan.

Old Xuan, who finally saw that the great array was already fixed, only stared at Yi Tianyun speechless!

Chapter 204

After Yi Tianyun repaired the 5th Grade Great Array, the Spiritual Power in Heavens Immersing Ancient Ruins has dramatically improved!

"Impressive, as expected of a young master! With this Defense Great Array fixed, our Heavens Immersing Ancient Ruins would be able to endure a Core Transformation cultivator's attack!" Old Xuan said while smiling joyfully.

This fact given by Old Xuan shocked Yi Tianyun a little bit. Now, he wouldn't worry too much if Jade Sect was under attack, and he was not around!

Yi Tianyun only wondered, how did Heavens Immersing Ancient Ruins when looking in its prime time, it must be something really amazing!

"Young Master, you really can fix all of this Great Array?" Old Xuan said while still looking at Yi Tianyun in awe. No master before Yi Tianyun was able to fix any of this Great Array, so, just by having Yi Tianyun himself fix the Great Array, this place wouldn't be called Heaven Immersing Ancient Ruins anymore, but this place would be Heaven Immersing Palace!

"With a little bit of training, sure! I will be able to fix all of this." Yi Tianyun said with a smile.

Old Xuan was speechless! Yi Tianyun has been an incredible Master for this place, and Old Xuan was excited to see how much will Yi Tianyun improve for the sake of this place in the future.

Yi Tianyun spent a couple days in the Jade Sect to see the improvement within the Jade Sect. He found out that the Sect was well managed and the disciple's cultivation has vastly improved. There was a huge amount of Spirit Refinement disciples and gradually, disciples and elders managed to break through to Core Condensation. The problem to promote the Jade Sect into a Jade Mansion was the amount of Spirit Core Stage Expert was nowhere near the standard amount.

It was only Yi Tianyun and Shi Xueyun at this moment who already broke through into Spirit Core Stage!

"There seem to be no issues here, the management was really on point!" Yi Tianyun said, feeling satisfied.

When he walked around the place, he noticed Jiu Lingyun sitting and teaching many disciples about the Divine Rune Mastery. She taught new disciples passionately. She has already reached the 2nd Grade Divine Rune Master!

This management was all thanks to Yi Yuwei, she made a system where the disciples would be directed based on their respective talent, in this case, Jiu Lingyun was the Divine Rune.

Yi Tianyun nodded his head and walked around again, he felt that there was nothing he could do in the Jade Sect for now, so Yi Tianyun thought that this may be the right time to travel to Heaven's Top Mansion now. There is the invitation to a VIP dinner by the Star Pavilion Lord. He had to go soon.

After saying his goodbyes with Shi Xueyun, he used the phoenix wings to fly to Heaven's Top Mansion.

Heaven's Top Mansion wasn't that far from Star City so he knew the general direction. After flying for two days, he finally saw the nameplate of Heaven's Top Mansion.

"I finally arrived!" Yi Tianyun said with a sigh of relief. He looked into the building and found it very captivating. Their downfall was because of the lack of resources, and so many disciples were hitting the slump and couldn't break through.

As he walked through the gate, a disciple stopped him and asked him what he was doing in the place.

"I came to see He Qianhan." Yi Tianyun said politely.

"Do you have an invitation token?" The disciple asked.

"Sure!" Yi Tianyun said while pulling out the token He Qianhan gave to him and handed it to the disciple.

The disciple nodded and invited Yi Tianyun inside to meet He Qianhan.

As they walked inside, the disciples outside sighed. They thought that He Qianhan invited another trash into Heaven's Top Mansion.

Yi Tianyun heard all of it, but he didn't react to it as he was avoiding to make a bad impression.

After passing through the long walkway, he arrived at Heavenly Runes Palace. Yi Tianyun saw that more disciples passed through this room compared to the other rooms along his path. After entering, he noticed that this room also served as a Quest Hall.

"No wonder this room was so lively." Yi Tianyun said to himself.

Any big faction's disciple was required to complete a certain amount of quest, if they don't finish the required amount, they will receive some type of punishment!

As he scanned the room, he saw a check-in counter with a familiar figure standing to hand in their Quest Token. It was none other than Yang Zhaouxue that he encountered on the sea back then.

As Yang Zhao Xue finished, Yi Tianyun stepped forward and gave his invitation token to Yang Xixue.

"I am here to meet with He Qianhan, would you let me meet her?" Yi Tianyun said politely.

Yang Xixue looked at Yi Tianyun with a surprised look on her face. "Deacon He recommended such a young fellow?" Yang Xixue said with a surprised look.

"Is there a problem?" Yi Tianyun asked.

"No, there is no problem. Come with me, I will test your skill." Yang Xixue said while standing up and directing Yi Tianyun to Deacon He place.

"What?" Yi Tianyun said, surprised. What kind of test was she planning to do? Did she want to make him a disciple of Heaven's Top Mansion?

Chapter 205

"You don't know about the test? Didn't Deacon tell you about it when she recruited you?" Yang Xixue said with a doubtful look on her beautiful face.

"I really don't know about it, but Deacon is here, right?" Yi Tianyun asked.

"Deacon He hasn't come back yet, it's been a while since she left. Maybe you could meet her in a couple of days, but you need to pass the test first!" Yang Xixue said with a frown on her face.

"If you pass the test, then you can call me your senior sister!" Yang Xixue said cheerfully.

Yi Tianyun frowned a little bit, how could she suggest a stranger become a disciple just like that? How did Deacon trust people so easily? Many questions litter Yi Tianyun's mind as Yang Xixue keeps talking cheerfully.

Yi Tianyun wanted to reject the offer at first but seeing Yang Xixue being so cheerful, he kind of let himself be dragged by the flow.

Yang Xixue took him to the Divine Rune Pavilion and walked around it to the mountainside with a dense forest in front of it.

"Xixue, what are you doing here?" A young man came from behind and asked Yang Xixue suddenly.

"Please stop calling me so intimately, you will cause misunderstandings in the future!" Xixue said coldly.

"What are you talking about? You are my fiancée! I could call you whatever I like." Feng Yulong said casually.

"I never said yes to any of it! Our fathers decided it for themselves, I will not marry anyone weaker than me! It's pointless to do so!" Yang Xixue said coldly.

Yi Tianyun immediately understood that Yang Xixue was a woman who set her goal high! She had her own qualifications on things and she has a temper too.

"This was the decision of our families, you think you can break this agreement just like that? Think about it again before you speak to a woman! Now, what is the deal with this brat? Why did he follow you here?" Feng Yulong said with a reprimanding way.

"Whatever you said won't change my decision! And he is the new junior disciple recommended by Deacon . He is here to do the test!" Yang Xixue said indifferently.

Feng Yulong looked at Yi Tianyun, assessing his features.

"Isn't he too young for that? He would never pass the maze!" Feng Yulong said with a frown.

"I suspect that he is here to steal things from us! Deacon He must have made a mistake!" Liao Wen, who came with Feng Yulong finally spoke.

Yi Tianyun really didn't like the condescending tone thrown at him by these two, but he chose to remain silent for now.

"It doesn't matter how old I am, I just want to hurry up and finish this test! If you can't do it at your age, that's not necessarily the case for others!" Yi Tianyun said indifferently.

"You are quite arrogant for a brat, aren't you? Well, we will see how you fare in the maze later. Don't blame us if you couldn't find the exit and die inside the maze!" Feng Yulong said with a sneer.

"I would make it more interesting for you. If you can walk out in 1 hour, I will walk backward for the rest of the day!" Feng Yulong said while smirking to Yi Tianyun.

"Yeah, if you could do that, I would walk with my hand!" Liao Wen said, agreeing with Feng Yulong.

"Very well then! I will see you guys walk backward and with your head down later!" Yi Tianyun said indifferently.

"Now, all I gotta do is cross this maze for the test, right?" Yi Tianyun asked Yang Xixue for confirmation.

"Yes, that is true! There is no time limit for this test, but your time would affect the result." Yang Xixue explained the rules to Yi Tianyun.

Yi Tianyun nodded his head to Yang Xixue and started to walk inside the maze.

"Brother Feng, this brat is too arrogant! He thinks this maze would be that easy to pass!" Liao Wen said, looked a little irritated by Yi Tianyun's attitude.

After Yi Tianyun entered the maze for quite some time, the three of them followed him from behind. Yang Xixue being the first of the bunch to walk in, as it was her responsibility to save the newcomer if they somehow weren't able to finish the maze.

Yi Tianyun, however, was already quite far away from the entrance. With his Divine Rune capability, he quickly knew about the ins and out of the maze and found the exit.

"This Maze Forest was truly unique, but this was nothing for me! With me already in 5th Grade Divine Rune Master, this maze is easy!" Yi Tianyun said to himself while sighing and continued to move toward the exit.

Chapter 206

Yi Tianyun found the exit in no time and immediately walked out of the forest maze. The scenery he saw right after was stunning. There were so many flowers with a different color in the garden, and the decoration was exquisite too.

"I've never seen you before, please show us your token!" The guard said suddenly as they saw Yi Tianyun.

Yi Tianyun took out the token given by Deacon He and showed it to the guard.

"This is not a disciple token. This is a recommendation token! And it seems that you are recommended by Deacon He. Oh, wait! It seems quite different, this is not a recommendation token, it is a…" The guard didn't have the time to finish his sentence as Yang Xixue and the other two walked out from the maze.

"You're already here?" Feng Yulong said shockingly, he was surprised to see Yi Tianyun was already here.

The speed Yi Tianyun showed wasn't natural, it may take a couple of hours for the first-timer to cross the maze. People like Yang Xixue and Feng Yulong already memorized the route of the maze and could cross it without wasting any time.

"What can I say it is not that difficult after all!" Yi Tianyun said indifferently to Feng Yulong.

"With that out of the way, I am looking forward to your promises!" Yi Tianyun said sarcastically.

"This is impossible! You must have cheated!" Liao Wen said without thinking.

"Then, how would you suggest I cheat?" Yi Tianyun said challengingly.

"You must have been here before! So, you already knew the path to cross the maze!" Liao Wen said, still not thinking about how illogical his words sounded.

"Did you even hear yourself? Yeah, I have been here with a different body! That way, no one here will recognize me!" Yi Tianyun said sarcastically.

Liao Wen's face turned red from his stupid assumption, it was embarrassing to talk without thinking first!

"Do you mean that he is faster than you even though he was a first-timer?" The guard said, looking quite surprised.

"Yes, it seems so." Yang Xixue said while looking quite excited at Yi Tianyun.

They knew that the maze itself wasn't providing that much difficulty, but for first-timers, it was supposed to be a little bit complicated and took a little bit of time to finish.

"Did I pass your test now?" Yi Tianyun said lightly to Yang Xixue.

"Of course! Welcome to Heavenly Runes Pavilion!" Yang Xixue said excitedly.

"Don't get ahead of yourself! With merely that level of ability, you should watch yourself, kid! Don't touch what isn't yours, or you will find yourself in quite a pickle later!" Feng Yulong said as he started to walk inside the pavilion.

Yi Tianyun knew that Feng Yulong was just jealous of him, but Yang Xixue didn't strike Yi Tianyun's interest and now, with Feng Yulong's threat, it just took too far!

"Wait, don't you forget something? Remember that you said you would walk backward if I pass under an hour?" Yi Tianyun said while pointing his finger to Feng Yulong.

"And you would walk with your hands, right?" Yi Tianyun points his finger to Liao Wen this time.

"Do you wanna die, kid?" Feng Yulong said as he looked at Yi Tianyun for condescending him.

"Feng Yulong! You can't even keep your own words! How could you even call yourself a man!" Yan Xixue said sarcastically. She heard Feng Yulong threatening Yi Tianyun, so she chose to help Yi Tianyun a little bit.

"Did you just defend this piece of shit?" Feng Yulong said while looking quite stunned. He doesn't think that Yang Xixue would help Yi Tianyun as she didn't really know him.

"Don't you worry, I wouldn't lay my hands on him. After all, this is Heavenly Runes Pavilion! Not some village in the mountains! But I couldn't say the same about others!" Feng Yulong said while sneering at Yi Tianyun.

The word said by Feng Yulong left Yi Tianyun frowning. If what he said was true, then there is not much unity in this sect. Which would make this sect have no future!

"You know that you should think before you speak, right?" Yi Tianyun said challengingly toward Feng Yulong.

Chapter 207

"Something wrong with what I said? I can say whatever I want, if you have a problem with that, I'll be glad to take you on any time!" Feng Yulong said while sneering at Yi Tianyun.

"You should follow through with your words if you really think you're a man!" Yi Tianyun said sarcastically.

"Wipe that smug off your face, You have yourself a duel!" Feng Yulong said as he prepared his stance.

"No problem with me!" Yi Tianyun said indifferently.

"Good!" Feng Yulong said as he threw a punch with all of his might.

Yi Tianyun saw this attack coming and quickly parried Feng Yulong's fish and slapped Feng Yulong in the face!

Feng Yulong was thrown several feet to the side while spinning in the air. He was stunned by this attack, as he wanted to stand, his vision was blurred and he was so dizzy that everything was spinning in his eyes.

Everyone in the scene was shocked! They never thought that Feng Yulong would lose by one hit! He is in Seventh Level Spirit Refinement, which meant that Yi Tianyun was even higher than that!

"How dare you hit Brother Feng!" Liao Wen said while rushing to help Feng Yulong stand up, "You will regret ever doing this!" he added as he took Feng Yulong to leave the area.

"We will see." Said Yi Tianyun indifferently.

After they left, Yang Xixue walked toward Yi Tianyun with a shocked expression on her face.

"You really hit him! This is not good! Feng Family will come after you now! But don't you worry, I will try to solve this matter peacefully!" She said with an anxious tone.

"It's okay! You don't have to do anything, I don't care about those weaklings!" Yi Tianyun said indifferently while shaking his head.

Seeing Feng Yulong's attitude, there was no wonder that Heaven's Top Mansion steadily headed for their downfall.

Scaring every newcomer away wasn't very wise. Even if the newcomer wasn't scared, they wouldn't stay there for too long.

Yang Xixue immediately took him inside and arranged his new room, as well as handing him his new identity token. She explained that this token was the identification used around Heaven's Top Mansion. He shouldn't lose it as there would be punishment for those who did.

After she was done settling Yi Tianyun in, she left to finish another affair. She didn't know Yi Tianyun. Therefore there was no other reason for her to stay.

If Yi Tianyun wore the face he used back then when he saved Yang Xixue in the sea, she would be surprised!

Yi Tianyun didn't stay at his room that long as he didn't plan to stay at the Heaven's Top Mansion for too long either. He decided to walk outside and see the place a little bit closer because so far, Yi Tianyun wasn't impressed! If there are more people like Feng Yulong, this sect would be really unfortunate!

After walking out of his room, Yi Tianyun was immediately welcomed by an excited young man waiting around the corner.

"Hey, brother! I heard that you break the record for the fastest to cross the maze! On top of that, you even took out Feng Yulong! You are amazing!" The young man said excitedly.

Yi Tianyun wasn't surprised by this. He knew that the guard would brag about him to anyone!

Yi Tianyun also knew that not everyone will believe this story. There would be some who felt skeptical of the story as it was something hard to believe.

"I don't think that what I do is that incredible. Is it really that amazing?" Yi Tianyun humbly replied.

"There is indeed a person that is faster than you, but as young as you, there is no one! Now, tell me how old you are!" the young man said, still quite energetically.

"I am 17, I will be 18 in a few months." Yi Tianyun said politely.

"Wow! Only 17 years old and you've already done incredible things!" The young man shouted excitedly.

"Oh, I am sorry. My name is Yang Yu, and I am ranked 83rd in the Heavenly Runes Pavilion. Everyone already knows your name, Yi Tianyun, right? It is a good name to have!" Yang Yu said while giving his hands to Yi Tianyun to shake.

Yi Tianyun shook his hand out of politeness and asked about the rank Yang Yu mentioned, he didn't know about these ranks as Yang Xixue never explained it to him.

"That is quite usual, come with me! we will go to the central square now and take a look!" Yang Yu said while walking quite quickly to the central area.

When they arrived, Yi Tianyun saw a stone tablet with many wooden signs hanging on it.

As Yi Tianyun came closer, he realized that the signs were a name, he immediately searched for his name and saw it hanging on the 81st rank.

A little higher than Yang Yu. He also noticed that Heavenly Runes Pavilion didn't have that many disciples as Yi Tianyun could only see a total of 130 names hanging on the stone tablet.

Yang Yu explained that ranking was related to one's achievement. Maze test was one of them. That said, if Yi Tianyun wanted to improve his ranks, he needed more achievements, and thus he would get a better position inside the Heaven's Top Mansion.

However, Yi Tianyun wasn't motivated at all. If he showed everyone his real capabilities, he would immediately achieve a high ranked position!

For now, his goal was to see how strong Heaven's Top Mansion's disciple was!

"Eighty-one, pretty low…"

Yi Tianyun frowned a little bit after seeing his own ranks on the list, he thought that the number was too low for such a quick finish on completing the maze.

"Are you not satisfied?" Yang Yu said after seeing Yi Tianyun's frowning face.

"No, it's too low for me!" Yi Tianyun said casually, "And what are you trying to do by approaching me while you said it yourself that there is no one dares to come near me." Yi Tianyun said indifferently.

"Nothing, I'm just trying to be friendly, and know more about you." Yang yu said while rubbing his hands, looking nervous.

"If you don't want to say it, that is okay. But, stop following me!" Yi Tianyun said while turning his body, ready to leave Yang Yu behind.

"Wait! I will explain!" Yang Yu said hurriedly.

"Okay, I will listen." Yi Tianyun said with a light smile.

"I have a grudge Feng Yulong! There I said it! I couldn't beat him, so when I heard that there is someone who does, I just couldn't help myself to befriend that person! So here we are, you can count on me for information about Heavenly Runes Pavilion, I even know things that could help you in Heaven's Top Mansion. So, there is nothing to lose right?" Yang Yu said while looking a little nervous waiting for Yi Tianyun's response.

"How could you know so much, while you are still a mere disciple?" Yi Tianyun said while looking a little bit unsure.

"That's a given, I am from the Yang Family after all, so I got a lot of information whether I need it or not." Yang Yu said confidently.

"Is that so? Is there any relation between you and Yang Xixue? You both have the same last name." Yi Tianyun said curiously.

"Yeah, she is my sister! That is one of the reasons that I hate Feng Yulong! He is nowhere near enough to be my sister's husband! Because of him, the Feng Family pushes my sister to marry soon!" Yang Yu said passionately.

"I doubt that Feng Yulong would let you be from now on, he would be conspiring with his family to get back at you for sure. The entire Heaven's Top Mansion could do nothing to help you if that happens." Yang Yu said solemnly.

"Well, if they want to come to me, sure! I will handle them." Yi Tianyun said indifferently.

Yang Yu burst into laughter after seeing Yi Tianyun's smug look, "You are too confident of yourself." Yang Yu said between laughter.

"Sure, why not!" Yi Tianyun said with a light smile, "So, where do you go to cultivate around here?" Yi Tianyun added that he wanted to try cultivating here.

"Hmmm, you're supposed to go to Heavenly Soul Tower. You could go there a couple of times in a month." Yang Yu said, explaining the place to Yi Tianyun.

"Okay, I guess I will check that place next. Are you coming?" Yi Tianyun said casually to Yang Yu.

"Me? You invited me?" Yang Yu said while looking surprised.

"Sure, why not! You could say no if you have somewhere else to be." Yi Tianyun said while shrugging his shoulders.

They walked toward the Heavenly Soul Tower and when they arrived at the front door of the place, Yi Tianyun looked at the building and he noticed that it had five floors from the look of it. It seemed that the cultivation area was divided into five.

They entered the front door and saw an elderly man was sitting on the side.

"Deacon Huang, we are here to cultivate!" Yang Yu said loud enough for the old man to hear.

"Alright! But you already used up your quota boy! As for you, I need to see your Identity Token!" Deacon Huang said casually.

Yi Tianyun quickly pulled out his identity token and showed it to Deacon Huang.

"You are the newbie that made a new record, no? you are welcome to cultivate here on the 1st floor." Deacon Huang said cheerily.

"No, I want to see the 5th floor." Yi Tianyun said casually.

Deacon Huang and Yang Yu were surprised to hear Yi Tianyun's request. They never heard a newcomer wanted to enter the highest floor on their first try!

Chapter 209

"Are you serious? You didn't have any experience whatsoever! You will not be able to hold the pressure for more than a day! You will not receive anything except injuries there!" Deacon Huang said with a surprised tone.

"Thank you for your advice, Deacon Huang. But I will be up there for 10 days." Yi Tianyun said casually.

"Wait, what? 10 days? Are you sure you want to do this? Only the top 15 of our disciples were able to stay that long, you know." Deacon Huang said quite unsure of Yi Tianyun's actions.

"I am sure of this decision, Deacon Huang. I hope that you are okay with it as I will accept all responsibilities myself." Yi Tianyun said with a serious expression.

Deacon Huang sighed at Yi Tianyun's headstrong decision.

"Okay, I will permit you to cultivate on the fifth floor for 10 days. Your quota for this month would be all used up, and if you aren't able to hold the pressure up there, you may go down, but if you did, your remaining time would be expired. Understood?" Deacon Huang said with a serious face.

There was a reason why Deacon Huang didn't try to stop Yi Tianyun from advancing to the fifth floor anymore, and that reason was the Spiritual Talisman that would be given on the first floor for the newcomer. This Spiritual Talisman will serve as a device to concentrate the Spiritual Power inside the Heavenly Soul Tower. Without this item, only a selected few could withstand the pressure of Spiritual Energy up there.

"Holy Shit, Brother Yi! Are you sure you would go up there? You can faint the moment you enter that floor, you know!" Yang Yu said with a surprised face.

"Of course, I wouldn't joke about this." Yi Tianyun said with a smile on his face.

"I know you're not joking around, but please consider your decision here, brother. There is a reason that people don't go over there recklessly, you know." Yang Yu said as he continued to persuade Yi Tianyun to change his decision.

"It's okay if I faint up there, it will be a good lesson not to underestimate things." Yi Tianyun said while the smile still didn't leave his face.

Yi Tianyun took the talisman on the table beside Deacon Huang and advanced to the fifth floor immediately.

As Yi Tianyun got up, the Spiritual Pressure was getting more intense. As he arrived in front of the fifth floor, he quickly entered and saw that several people were meditating scattered around the room.

He quickly took his position in the corner of the room and quickly transferred a little of his Spiritual Energy to the talisman to activate it. As soon as he activated it, the talisman shone and Yi Tianyun was hit by the sudden impact of Spiritual Energy concentrated around the talisman.

But as he suspected, the impact wasn't as intense as he thought. It almost felt like a tingle over anything else. He noticed the Exp flow that the system was currently pinging.

'300 Exp, 340 Exp, 370 Exp, 350 Exp, …'

The amount of exp he got disappointed Yi Tianyun a little bit. But he already knew that he wouldn't receive much here as the place was meant for the Spirit Refinement Realm.

"This place isn't bad! If Heavens Immersing Ancient Ruins was moved here, the disciple could cultivate their Divine Rune Mastery here." Yi Tianyun said as he was somewhat satisfied that the disciple could cultivate better in the future.

Yi Tianyun immediately raised his head from the meditating position and immediately looked around to see if there was any excellent disciple that was currently cultivating here.

Sure enough, Yi Tianyun noticed Yang Xixue among other disciples.

Yi Tianyun quickly speculated that she quickly left the arena so she could cultivate here instead.

Yang Xixue opened her eyes as she felt that someone was staring intensely at her. She quickly noticed and was surprised knowing that the one who was staring at her was none other than Yi Tianyun. In fact, she was not the only one that was aware of Yi Tianyun as everyone else noticed him too.

Not many people looked at Yi Tianyun with surprise in their eyes. Some were looking at him strangely as others looked at him in disdain.

"This newcomer really is cocky! I bet that he would faint or leave in one day!"

"One day? You're overestimating him! I bet that he would leave in half a day!"

The experts looking at Yi Tianyun with disdain began to murmur among themselves.

They were convinced that Yi Tianyun would give up soon!

This disdain came from the news about Feng Yulong being beaten to a pulp by Yi Tianyun.

They thought that Yi Tianyun was nothing but a bothersome individual for attacking one of the highest status disciples in Heaven's Top Mansion!

Chapter 210

"What are you doing here? This place could constrain you mentally!" Yang Xixue said as she quickly approached Yi Tianyun.

"What pressure? Didn't you see I am cultivating just fine?" Yi Tianyun said with a light smile.

As she didn't have anything else to say, she chose to cultivate near Yi Tianyun as she would be able to help him if he fainted.

The news about Yi Tianyun challenging the fifth floor was quickly spread among the disciples of Heaven's Top Mansion. Many of them came to see for themselves as they didn't believe the news at first.

Jia Ping, one of Liao Wen's companions, sneered as he knew that Yi Tianyun challenged the highest floor. He immediately came over and took one of the talismans as he entered the fifth floor.

Seeing Jia Ping entering the place, Yang Yu immediately warned Yi Tianyun to be careful as he had a bad feeling about this.

Liao Wen glanced at Yang Yu coldly as he found him being so annoying.

"Brat! You shouldn't be here! Go away!" Jia Ping said to Yi Tianyun.

Usually, there was a pretty strict rule about not bothering anyone when they were cultivating. But Jia Ping just couldn't hold it, he felt the urge to avenge his companion somehow.

"Didn't your master tell you to not bother anyone during their cultivation?" Yi Tianyun said lazily.

"I don't have any master! But I do know that you aren't supposed to be here!" Jia Ping said with a sneer.

"Enough! You are clearly disturbing everyone here. If you can't hold it, just go out!" Yang Xixue snarled.

"Why do you help him?" Jia Ping said, bothered by Yang Xixue's action.

"That is the truth! You are bothering everyone!" Yang Xixue snarled.

"Okay. Now, I am challenging you to a duel! What do you say?" Jia Ping said, still with a smirk on his face.

"Not interested, thanks." Yi Tianyun said indifferently.

"You coward! Did you guys hear that? He's too scared to accept my challenge!" Jia Ping said to all the spectators watching from behind the door.

The people watching outside were running out of patience from Yi Tianyun's cocky attitude, they booed him for not accepting the challenge.

Yi Tianyun just sighed as he didn't like to be put in the spotlight.

"Okay! How do you wanna fight?" Yi Tianyun asked indifferently.

"That's more like it! Now, I would like to challenge you for how many days you could stand inside this room. If I win, you will be my slave, but if you win, I will be your slave for a year!" Jia Ping said confidently.

"There is no need for that! You aren't qualified to become my slave." Yi Tianyun said sarcastically.

"If I win, I will slap you in the face! How about this?" Yi Tianyun said as he suggested another condition.

Yi Tianyun's cockiness just stunned everyone, he seemed so sure of himself, but Jia Ping actually had a pretty high rank among the disciples, here on Heaven's Top Mansion.

"Sure! I accept it, you can start now, as I would do too!" Jia Ping said as he took out the talisman that he previously took and activated it to begin his own cultivation.

Soon, Jia Ping was so immersed with his cultivation that he didn't open his eyes as he meditated. This was the opposite of what Yi Tianyun was doing.

Yi Tianyun kept his eyes open and decided to look at the Divine Runes engraved around the room.

Everyone outside was looking quite excitedly. They thought that Yi Tianyun would lose as Jia Ping had a higher rank than him. But, the most important reason was the fact that everyone kind of noticed that Yi Tianyun wasn't really serious at all!

Chapter 211

The duel between Jia Ping and Yi Tianyun became a hot topic all over Heaven's Top Mansion, even the deacons were coming to see the duel for themselves.

"Big Bro actually did it! I can't believe this!" Said Yang Yu excitedly.

Unfortunately, everyone else wasn't as excited as Yang Yu. As they thought that Yi Tianyun was too cocky for his own good. There was no way a newcomer could beat a high ranked disciple like Jia Ping.

"Come and bet on the winner of the duel! You can bet on Yi Tianyun or Jia Ping here!" someone shouted at the entrance.

People quickly flocked toward where the voice was and immediately bet on Jia Ping as they thought that Yi Tianyun was sure to lose the duel.

Zhuang Jia, the one who was the mastermind behind this bet, frowned as he didn't expect the bet to be so one-sided. If Jia Ping really won, he would go bankrupt!

"Come on now, don't you want to bet on the kid too? He broke the new record for the maze, you know!" Zhuang Jia said desperately.

Everyone was looking at him strangely, they laughed as they didn't think that completing the maze at an amazing speed didn't really matter here.

"I will bet on Big Bro Yi Tianyun for 6.000!" Yang Yu said as he handed over his bet to Zhuang Jia.

"Yang Yu, you are too kind! Now, this is not how you gamble! You didn't gamble for the losing side!" Someone from the crowd said while laughing.

"It's my gold anyway, is there a problem on how I use my own gold?" Yang Yu said indifferently.

Everyone only shook their heads as they thought that Yang Yu was an idiot for betting on some kid.

While outside, everyone was betting profusely. Inside, Yi Tianyun and Jia Ping were in a state of calmness.

Jia Ping was meditating with his eyes closed, while Yi Tianyun on the other hand, never closed his eyes as he continued to meditate while observing the Divine Rune scattered in the wall.

Time passes quickly, an entire day has passed, and none of them move from their spot. On the second day, Jia Ping's face became a little bit pale while Yi Tianyun still looked the same.

On the third day, everyone could see the struggle on Jia Ping's face, while Yi Tianyun still remained the same. This fact shocked everyone as they never thought that Yi Tianyun would persist this long!

On the fourth day, Jia Ping stood up, and the talisman on his hand had already lost its lights, indicating the fact that his time was up! He only asked for 4 days so the talisman would lose its ability to gather the Spiritual Energy after 4 days. He quickly walked toward Deacon Huang and asked for an extension.

Deacon Huang observed Jia Ping a little bit and immediately noticed that Jia Ping was at his limit.

"Young ones, you should know your own limits. You will waste the time you spent here as I don't think you would last another hour in that room!" Deacon Huang said solemnly.

"I know my own limit! Give me 5 more days, please!" Jia Ping said hastily.

Deacon Huang just shrugged his shoulders and gave Jia Ping another 5 days just as he wanted.

After getting his talisman, Jia Ping quickly returned to the fifth-floor room and immediately meditated again. As the day went by, Jia Ping became paler as the hour passed.

On the fifth day, he couldn't hold on any longer as he finally coughed blood from the pressure of the room and fainted not long after. He was quickly hospitalized in the recovery room to recuperate, and as for Yi Tianyun, nothing changed. His expression was still the same and his complexion was still the same.

In any case, everyone was shocked as they knew one fact that mattered right now, it was Yi Tianyun's victory!

Many people walked out of the place with their heads down as they lost a significant amount of money from the bet.

Zhuang Jia, however, walked out with heavy pockets, as he walked out with everyone's gold except for Yang Yu. He received his prize money which was three times his betting money.

Jia Ping's popularity hit an ice-cold point, as everyone was disappointed by the loss. Yang Xixue was surprised too after hearing the news herself.

Yi Tianyun himself was still in the room, unmoving. If it was not from the constant fluctuation of spiritual power around him, everyone would think that he wasn't cultivating in there! He kept meditating without caring about everyone else, and he didn't even know that he had won the duel!

Chapter 212

After the sixth day, Yi Tianyun looked around and noticed that Jia Ping wasn't in the room anymore.

Yang Xixue noticed Yi Tianyun's confusion and immediately told him that he had won the duel!

Yi Tianyun smiled a little bit and continued to meditate.

Yi Tianyun's action left everyone wondering.

Will Yi Tianyun actually persist with the 10 days limit even after he won?

After the seventh day, Jia Ping finally woke up and he immediately asked about Yi Tianyun and knowing that Yi Tianyun was still meditating, he finally realized that Yi Tianyun didn't even care about the duel. He felt ashamed for provoking Yi Tianyun now.

The eighth day passed. Everyone was convinced Yi Tianyun would faint at any moment now, but that is not the case!

After the ninth day passed, Yi Tianyun had finally done analyzing the Divine Rune scattered around the room and decided to come out as there was no more benefit in staying in the room anymore.

As he came out, he noticed that there was a huge crowd outside the room. As he walked away, the crowds began to clap, confusing Yi Tianyun even more. In the eyes of the crowd, Yi Tianyun was indeed a prodigy!

Jia Ping, however, stared at Yi Tianyun in a grievance. He still couldn't accept the reality that he was weaker than Yi Tianyun, but there was nothing he could do about this outcome.

"You won! I give this Divine Rune Stroke to you. It is a High-Grade Spirit Tool Rank item! I hope with this gift, there will be no more hard feelings between us." Jia Ping said cautiously. He didn't want to get slapped by Yi Tianyun as if that happened, he would lose all his dignity!

Everyone at the scene felt jealous of Yi Tianyun for receiving such a high-rank item. But their envy was proven worthless as Yi Tianyun slapped Jia Ping hard!

Jia Ping was thrown several meters away with one slap, and a few of his teeth fell to the ground.

"Wha, What! How dare you hit me!" Jia Ping said he couldn't believe his goodwill was repaid with a slap.

"A promise is a promise! I said if I win, I will slap you! You think some stupid Divine Rune Stroke would be able to help you?" Yi Tianyun said indifferently.

Everyone was shocked to see that Yi Tianyun rejected a high-rank spirit tool. Because of this act he did, Yi Tianyun's reputation soared among Heaven's Top Mansion disciples and deacons! Everyone began to wonder, what the real level of Yi Tianyun's cultivation would be.

The ranking surely didn't seem to do him justice. Sure, the rank could be improved by so many things, but the assessment to update the rank was monthly and it will take a while before the next assessment.

"You are so amazing, big bro! you beat Jia Ping so easily!" Yang Yu said excitedly. He immediately handed over 9.000 Gold to Yi Tianyun.

"Here, accept it big bro! this is your share of my winning bet!" Yang Yu said excitedly.

"I am a little bit sad that I only have 6.000 gold in my pocket at the time!" Yang Yu said solemnly.

Yi Tianyun pushed back the coins toward Yang Yu.

"No, this is your money. Use it for something useful." Yi Tianyun said as he handed back the coins to Yang Yu.

"Big bro, you are too kind! I wouldn't win if it weren't you! If you wouldn't accept this money, fine. But I will buy you a meal next time for sure!" Yang Yu said while smiling toward Yi Tianyun.

Yi Tianyun smiled lightly, Yang Yu surely earned this money! Yi Tianyun knew that Yang Yu wouldn't waste it for something useless.

"Okay, you will buy my next meal! I wonder if a feast would suffice." Yi Tianyun said while smiling playfully.

"Haha, you are funny! I definitely regret that I don't have any more money lying around now." Yang Yu said while still smiling lightly.

Yang Yu sighed, but at least, he would be able to buy some pills with this money. Even if it is not a high-grade pill, it would be helpful nonetheless!

Chapter 213

"You've just made a lot of enemies just now! Jia Ping has his own group of people who are willing to do all kinds of things for him, you know!" Yang Xixue said, scolding Yi Tianyun a little bit.

"What are you talking about, sister? Don't you know big bro was super strong? Didn't you see his slap earlier?" Yang Yu said, praising Yi Tianyun honestly.

"Stop messing around!" She said toward Yang Yu, which startled Yang Yu a little bit.

"I know that Junior Brother Yi doesn't seem like a weak cultivator, but you still need to be cautious around people like them! You don't know what would happen next! The best case right now is to wait for Deacon He's return and leave the problem to her!" Yang Xixue said while looking slightly frustrated.

"I don't mind slapping a few people who dare to stand against me, you know." Yi Tianyun said with a light smile on his face.

"Well, if you say so. If something is bothering you, you can come to us right away. We will surely try to help you in any way we can." Yang Xixue said while sighing after witnessing Yi Tianyun's cockiness.

"Sure, I appreciate the thought. Oh, yeah, before we part, did you know when Deacon would be back?" Yi Tianyun said wonderingly.

"I don't really know, it might take weeks before she returns, at a time she even comes back after 2 months!" said Yang Xixue knowingly.

"But I am sure she will be back anytime soon." She added, trying to assure Yi Tianyun.

Yi Tianyun nodded his head. If she didn't come back anytime soon, he planned to leave as the Star Pavilion invitation was coming close.

"We will take our leave for now, Junior Brother. We have something to attend to." Yang Xixue said while dragging Yang Yu behind.

"Big Bro, see you soon!" Yang Yu said while waving his hand excessively.

Yi Tianyun only smiled at Yang Yu's antics, this boy sure is energetic, he thought to himself.

He walked out of Heavenly Soul Tower immediately, and suddenly a young lady as beautiful as a fairy walked toward him. Yi Tianyun observed her a little bit and was surprised to see that she wasn't the frail girl he thought she was.

"You must be the newcomer, Yi Tianyun, aren't you?" The lady said with a beautiful voice.

"You must be My Xian'er. The second ranked disciple." Yi Tianyun said while nodding a little bit.

"I didn't expect you to recognize me." Mu Xian'er said playfully.

"Just guess, I simply concluded you're the second ranker from your spiritual aura." Yi Tianyun said with a light smile.

"Thanks for your compliment, big brother. I hope you get a good evaluation of your rank next month." Mu Xian'er said politely.

"You're welcome." Yi Tianyun said while turning his body to leave.

Mu Xian'er smiled playfully after seeing Yi Tianyun's back. She suddenly pulled a Divine Rune Paper and sneakily pasted it to Yi Tianyun's back.

She quickly ran ahead of Yi Tianyun as if nothing had happened, but Yi Tianyun knew her every move, as he immediately took the divine rune paper from his back and pasted it on Xian'er's back. He was slightly amused by Mu Xian'er ability to sneak around and did some mischief like this.

"What is wrong, big brother?" Mu Xian'er said as she noticed Yi Tianyun staring at her amusingly.

"Don't mind me. See you later." Yi Tianyun said with a light smile.

As soon as Xian'er wanted to say something, the divine rune on her back suddenly exploded into a gust of air, which blew her a couple feet into the air.

"You sneaky trickster! I know what you're trying to do!" Yi Tianyun said playfully.

Mu Xian'er didn't respond back as she was still in shock from the explosion. This was what she did when she got bored. Using a divine rune paper to create an array and pasting it on some random people's back to frighten them a little bit.

As Mu Xian'er fell, Yi Tianyun quickly caught her. Looking at her shocked expression, Yi Tianyun smiled and laughed a little bit. As he let her stand on her own feet, Yi Tianyun quickly slapped her booty.

Yi Tianyun's acts surprised Mu Xian'er big time. She quickly turned around, looking angry with Yi Tianyun.

"What? How dare you slap my ass! Don't you know who I am?" Mu Xian'er snarled.

"You will pay for this!" Mu Xian'er said as she quickly ran away from the scene.

Yi Tianyun saw her left with slight amusement in his eyes. He wondered what My Xian'er would do next time.

Chapter 214

Before she vanished from sight, Mu Xian'er suddenly rushed back toward Yi Tianyun.

"I changed my mind! I will kill you here!" Mu Xian'er said with a red face.

"Why? I am just returning the favor." Yi Tianyun said casually.

"You pervert!" Mu Xian'er yelled as she rushed toward Yi Tianyun with her 7th Level Spirit Refinement power. As she came close, Yi Tianyun held her hands, canceling her spiritual power.

"Remember that Heaven's Top Mansion doesn't condone fighting among disciples." Yi Tianyun said casually.

Mu Xian'er became silent as she gritted her teeth.

"Just you wait, you pervert! I will make sure you regret doing that!" Mu Xian'er said as she ran away. This time she really did leave. Yi Tianyun only smirked as he was really amused by My Xian'er anger.

After all that, Yi Tianyun returned to Heavenly Runes Pavilion, and when he arrived there, he could already hear the rumors about him regarding what happened at the Heavenly Soul Tower earlier. He even heard that his rank now rose up to 24th, as Jia Ping was now 25th.

He sighed as he really couldn't care less about this ranking system. When he was about to return back to his room, he was blocked by 2 people, he immediately noticed that these 2 were different from Jia Ping earlier.

"Big Brother!" Yang Yu shouted as he ran over to Yi Tianyun as fast as he could.

"They are ranked 19th Liang Bing and 20th Yuan Zhengyang! They are one of Feng Family and Jia Family's accomplices. They are here to take revenge on you, brother!" Yang Yu said nervously.

"Look here, brother! We have a mouse following our newcomer here." Zhang Bin said as he pointed his finger toward Yang Yu.

"Don't you think this mouse was ahead of himself, brother? He even dares to challenge us earlier and lose! Now, he becomes the newcomer's bitch." Zhang Bin said with a cold icy look.

"Don't say that, Zhang Bin, that's clearly because he thinks that he found someone to protect him. Just let the loser be, brother." Liang Bin said while smiling toward Yi Tianyun.

"You Fuck! How dare you say that about me! I clearly lose to you, but I never beg for mercy or anything! So shut your mouth, shithead!" Yang Yu said he was clearly angered by the brothers' remark.

Yi Tianyun sighed again, as he found no peace wherever he went there.

"Now, what do you want? Did you want to fight me? Or what? If you wanna fight then let's go! I am tired of all of this." Yi Tianyun said with a bored look on his face.

"Good, now come with us to the arena! Let's have some duels!" Liang Bin said excitedly.

"Brother, they are a lot stronger than Jia Ping!" Yang Yu said hurriedly.

"That's okay, just watch from the spectator seat!" Yi Tianyun said, silencing Yang Yu from making an unnecessary comment.

"They will get some kicking from insulting people around me!" Yi Tianyun said casually.

"Brother! You are really cool! From now on, I swore to be your brother! You are my Big Brother now!" Yang Yu said with amazement in his eyes. His heart was moved by Yi Tianyun's words.

This time, he swore to become Yi Tianyun's brother. Unlike before, now he really was convinced that Yi Tianyun was worthy of being followed!

Chapter 215

You still recognize this trash as your brother? Well, you better look after your big brother after we are done with him! He will need medical treatment so bad!" Liang Bing said while laughing.

"My big brother won't lose to the likes of you!" Yang Yu said confidently.

Liang Bing only smirked sarcastically as he walked toward the platform. Liang Bing and Yi Tianyun taking their position to duel, spectated by many students, who kept on saying Yi Tianyun was doing stupid stuff by accepting Liang Bing's challenge.

One of Heaven's Top Mansion guards came over to act as their referee, "This duel would be a sparring match, meaning that you two aren't allowed to kill each other! If that happens, you will get a punishment from the elders later!" the guard said with a serious tone.

"Understood!" Liang Bing and Yi Tianyun said at almost the same time.

"Hey, new kid! I'll let you have 3 freebies as a handicap! so the duel could be somewhat fair!" Liang Bing said cockily toward Yi Tianyun.

"I don't need 3 strikes, I will finish you in 1 strike!" Yi Tianyun said indifferently.

Liang Bing only smirked as he found Yi Tianyun's cockiness to be amusing.

The spectators around the arena were only shaking their heads as they couldn't believe the extent of Yi Tianyun's arrogant attitude.

Many people now chanted Liang Bing's name as he had many followers. But soon enough, they were silenced by Yi Tianyun as he walked toward Liang Bing with each of his steps gradually becoming heavier as he got closer. As he got up close with Liang Bing, he made a stance that used a slight of his aura, which was portrayed very ominously by Liang Bing and the disciples watching their fight.

As Yi Tianyun struck Liang Bing, Liang Bing quickly tried to block the attack effortlessly only to be thrown outside the platform to the tree around the arena harshly.

This show of power shocked everyone watching. They never thought that Yi Tianyun would be able to defeat Liang Bing, who was in a higher rank than Yi Tianyun by 1 hit!

"Big Brother Liang!" Zhang Bin said as he ran toward Liang Bing's unconscious body. He checked Liang Bing's condition only to find that Liang Bing was in critical condition, as his ribs were fractured by Yi Tianyun's attack.

"This is amazing! I knew it! I knew that Big Bro Yi Tianyun was too powerful for Liang Bing!" Yang Yu said excitedly.

Zhang Bin frantically ran toward the guards and accused Yi Tianyun of killing Liang Bing, which was quickly ignored by the guard as Liang Bing was not dead and would recover after a few months.

Yi Tianyun looked at Zhang Bin and challenged him to a duel just as Liang Bing previously did. Zhang Bin was trembling as he didn't want to end up like Liang Bing.

"Just you wait, Yi Tianyun! There surely will be someone who will take revenge against you next time!" Zhang Bin said as he quickly lifted Liang Bing up and took him to the clinic.

Liang Bing's followers were looking at Yi Tianyun with troubled eyes. They all wanted to take revenge on behalf of Liang Bing, but they were much weaker than Liang Bing was, so there was no way they would fare against Yi Tianyun ever!

Yi Tianyun looked at them with a smirk fully displayed on his face. He walked down the platform as all Liang Bing's followers started to walk away one by one.

"Brother, how can you be so strong! How can you cultivate so fast!" Yang Yu said as he ran toward Yi Tianyun.

"It's all about the amount of practice." Yi Tianyun said while smiling lightly.

Yi Tianyun was only showing a little of his power when he fought against Liang Bing, if he used more even slightly, Liang Bing would surely die! He accepted Liang Bing's challenge only to play around and waste some time.

However, this little incident made him aware that Heaven's Top Mansion was in a more dire situation than he previously thought! He was considering if Heaven's Top Mansion was really worth it to begin with!

Chapter 216

Yi Tianyun became famous across Heaven's Top Mansion, no one didn't know his name.

Many people wondered why Yi Tianyun chose to join the Heaven's Top Mansion with his extraordinary cultivation.

Anyone in the Heavenly Border Continent knew that Heaven's Top Mansion was already at their wits' end, if Heaven's Top Mansion lost any more power than this, Heaven's Top Mansion would be degraded back to the 2nd Grade Faction!

After the duel ended, Yi Tianyun quickly walked back toward his room. He wanted to rest, but not long after he closed his room's door, there was a knock on the door. He quickly opened it, revealing He Qianhan was in front of the door.

"It really was you!" He Qianhan said with her eyes full of disbelief.

"Nice to finally see you again, Deacon He!" Yi Tianyun said while smiling politely. With Deacon He finally arrived, he canceled his plans to leave Heaven's Top Mansion as soon as possible.

"They said that I recommended someone really strong this time. I came here to check, but I never thought that the person would be you!" Deacon He said with disbelief still in her eyes.

"You see, I gave them the token that you gave to me before. They all said the token was a recommendation token, so they took me in here without really asking any question whatsoever. Are you giving me the wrong token Deacon?" Yi Tianyun said wonderingly.

"I didn't give the wrong token, I am very sorry about this, I think they just misunderstood the whole thing." Deacon He said, feeling guilty towards Yi Tianyun.

"So, Deacon He didn't have any interest in recruiting me as Heaven's Top Mansion's disciple?" Yi Tianyun said playfully.

"No, there is no way I could recruit you as a disciple! Your strength alone could easily earn you a deacon position if not more!" Deacon He said exasperatedly, "Now, come! Follow me, I will introduce you properly at the Main Palace." She said warmly.

Yi Tianyun nodded and followed He Qianhan, while on the way to the Main Palace he couldn't help but think of what Heaven's Top Mansion needed to improve themselves, if this problem still remained, he was afraid that Heaven's Top Mansion would continue to decline before totally disbanded altogether.

Soon enough, they arrived at the Main Palace in the center of Heaven's Top Mansion.

Yi Tianyun noticed that it was an ancient building. It gave off a powerful aura. Obviously, that building was built by a powerful person!

After entering the palace, Yi Tianyun noticed the place wasn't luxurious, but it was covered by antiques that gave off a mysterious vibe to the place.

"Deacon He, this time you brought back some good seed with you! He sure is young, and I heard that he already made a name for himself around here." An old man said suddenly while smirking toward He Qianhan.

"Deacon Guan, this is a misunderstanding! He isn't the disciple that I recommended. In fact, he is a Guest Elder that I invited here." He Qianhan said indifferently.

"A Guest Elder? From which sect?" Deacon Guan said wonderingly.

"I am from a 2nd Grade Faction!" Yi Tianyun said indifferently.

"2nd Grade Faction? Are you kidding me Deacon He? Someone from the 2nd Grade Fraction becomes a 3rd Grade Faction Guest Elder?" Deacon Guan said while trying to hold his laughter.

"That fact doesn't matter! He was powerful enough to be noticed by the Lord of Star Pavilion himself." Deacon He said indifferently.

"Hmmm, is that because of his Divine Rune Mastery? Is he a 3rd Grade Divine Rune Master? I doubt that the Pavilion Lord was interested in that!" Deacon Guan said, still didn't believe Deacon He's words.

"No, he is a 4th Grade Divine Rune Master!" He Qianhan said, still in an indifferent tone.

"What! A 4th Grade Divine Rune Master!" Deacon Guan said completely dumbfounded!

Chapter 217

Deacon Guan was utterly shocked! He couldn't believe a 17-year-old boy could achieve that level!

"He is a 4th Grade Divine Rune Master? How can it be?" Deacon Guan said, still not believing Deacon He's Words.

"It doesn't matter whether you believe me or not, it has nothing to do with you! Young Master Yi, please come this way." Deacon He said as she ignored Deacon Guan and resumed to guide Yi Tianyun inside.

"Young Master Yi, your innate ability was so profound! Would you like to join us instead!" Deacon He said as she found this was the right opportunity to ask.

"This is not the time for that, I still have many things to do after this." Yi Tianyun rejected the offer politely. He only came to check whether the history of Heaven's Top Mansion and Jade Sect were a match.

He looked at Deacon He and didn't fail to notice that she was a little bit disappointed by Yi Tianyun's rejection.

"But let me return the offer, if Deacon He wishes, I would love to invite you to join our sect!" Yi Tianyun said playfully.

He Qianhan was surprised to hear Yi Tianyun's proposal; she didn't expect to receive an invitation to join a 2nd Grade Faction while she was in a 3rd Grade Faction herself.

"Thank you so much for the offer, Young Master Yi, but I still have many plans for Heaven's Top Mansion." She said politely.

They soon entered the inner hall where Yi Tianyun could see several core disciples walking around. He noticed that several of these core disciples had already broken through to the Core Condensation.

Yi Tianyun noticed someone he met earlier, that is none other than Mu Xian'er! He saw Mu Xian'er talking to an old man who was already in 5th Level Spirit Core. Clearly, this old man was an elder here.

Mu Xian'er noticed that someone was staring at her and looked around and saw Yi Tianyun walking by.

"You!" she shouted.

While the shout itself wasn't that loud, she still succeeded to draw some attention towards Yi Tianyun,

"Yes, me! Nice to see you again, Lil' Xian'er!" Yi Tianyun said while smiling politely.

"What are you doing here!" Mu Xian'er said rudely.

"What happened? Did he bully you, sweet Xian'er? The elder said while smiling.

"No! but he. . ." Xian'er said, couldn't finish her sentence.

"If that was not the case, then what's with the yelling? A girl should speak with compassion! If you are acting savage like this, who would want to be your dao companion in the future!" the Great Elder said to Xian'er.

"Grandpa! How could you say that to me! There is no one worthy of taking me as their dao companion yet!" she said while sulking to the great elder.

Yi Tianyun immediately laughed as he saw Xian'er pouted.

"Ehem! Great elder is Guest Elder, Young Master Yi Tianyun, who helped me at Star Pavilion before, and he is the winner of the tournament himself. There must be some misunderstanding earlier when the guards mistook him as a recommended disciple." He Qianhan said solemnly.

"First place in the Divine Rune Tournament?" Great elder said while showing a great interest in Yi Tianyun while Mu Xian'er was shocked to hear the news.

Winning the tournament meant that at least the person has reached 4th Grade Divine Rune Master rank or more! With Yi Tianyun's age, it became even more amazing!

"That is just her ramblings, Great Elder! There is no proof yet!" Deacon Guan suddenly said while sneering towards He Qianhan.

Yi Tianyun saw that He Qianhan was offended by Deacon Guan's statement.

"She only brought trash so far into our sect, there is no telling what she said this time is the truth! It is a shame that she was a descendant of the great Spirit King Xuan Tian!" Deacon Guan said casually.

"Enough Deacon Guan!" The Great Elder said as he had enough of Deacon Guan's rudeness.

Yi Tianyun was startled! He never thought that He Qianhan was a descendant of Spirit King Xuan Tian. No wonder she put all her effort into the betterment of Heaven's Top Mansion!

"Great Elder, what are you mad at me for? I did not say anything wrong at all! She often brought back a disciple that couldn't even stand a few months here, wasting our resources!" Deacon Guan said coldly.

"That is not Deacon He's fault, nor was it the fault of the disciple she brought. It's because of your incompetence! There are a bunch of stuck up disciples in there that will make any newcomer uncomfortable!" Yi Tianyun said, interjecting Deacon Guan's speech.

"Hey, this is our internal issue! You have no right to meddle in this!" Deacon Guan said coldly.

"I am the successor of Xuan Tian Spirit King! These issues are mine too!" Yi Tianyun said coldly.

Chapter 218

Everyone in the room stopped every little thing that they have been doing and stared at Yi Tianyun surprisedly. They were surprised to hear Yi Tianyun's confession for being the successor of Spirit King Xuan Tian himself!

Yi Tianyun didn't particularly care, although everyone's eyes were on him. He doesn't want He Qianhan to be wronged any further in that place. He knew the real reason the disciples walked away was that the poor management of Heaven's Top Mansion over their disciple.

"You are a successor of Spirit King Xuan Tian? Are you mad?" Deacon Guan said while sneering at Yi Tianyun.

"Great Elder! Look at what she brought us! She brought us a liar, possibly a theft too if not more!" He said with so much passion behind each word.

Hearing his own credibility being questioned, Yi Tianyun quickly activated his Xuan Tian Divine Art and slapped Deacon Guan in the face! Throwing him towards a wall.

"You dare to hit me!" Deacon Guan said as he couldn't stop shivering.

"This aura! This is Xuan Tian Divine Art!" The Great Elder says, as he quickly stands up from his chair. He never saw anything like this before! In his whole life serving Heaven's Top Mansion, not once did he ever see the Xuan Tian Divine Art this concentrated and beautiful.

"Yes! This is Xuan Tian Divine Art! How dare you suggest that I am a thief! If I don't hold back just now, you would already be six feet under the ground!" Yi Tianyun said, letting his anger roar for a moment.

He Qianhan and Mu Xian'er were stunned upon witnessing Yi Tianyun's power. However, Deacon Guan looked at Yi Tianyun in a different light now.

"You really mastered it? Xuan Tian Divine Art? This must be fate! Now, give it to us! That is Heaven's Top Mansion's Treasure!" Deacon Guan said in greed.

"Yes! Give it to us! That Divine Art is our right! You don't have any rights on it!" Suddenly someone spoke from the inside as they walked toward the hall. Two old men, with the cultivation of 4th Level Spirit Core, come.

"Second Elder! Third Elder! You have come!" Deacon Guan said as he ran toward the old man excitedly.

"Second Elder, this Divine Art isn't meant to be passed down in the faction! It is Spirit King Xuan Tian's privilege to pass it to anyone he wants!" He Qianhan interjected.

"Yes! We can't be greedy and start to demand everything our ancestors left behind. Sometimes, it is just not meant to be ours." The Great Elder said wisely.

"Great Elder! We still don't have proof that he really was the successor of Spirit King Xuan Tian! Will you really let some random brat come and be our elder just like that!" the Second Elder said while snorting towards Yi Tianyun.

"Oh, did you have the ability to steal Divine Art?" Yi Tianyun said challengingly. Yi Tianyun just shook his head as he thought that this Second Elder was really stupid. Did he really just say that Yi Tianyun stumbled upon the Divine Art and was suddenly able to use it?

"The Ancestor clearly said that anyone who possesses the Xuan Tian Divine Art would be able to become elder if they met every criterion needed to become one. With that said, there is no way Spirit King Xuan Tian would give the Divine Art randomly!" He Qianhan said, stating her knowledge.

"Deacon He. I understand where you're coming from, but we can't let that happen! Especially now that Heaven's Top Mansion is in critical condition!" The Second Elder said as he released his aura.

The Third Elder followed shut as he released his own aura too. The hall was filled with the raging aura of the 4th Layer Spirit Core cultivation!

"What are you doing! Are you really gonna go against the ancestor's wishes?" He Qianhan said as she was really shocked to see her elders acting like these.

"No, we are doing this for Heaven's Top Mansion! Spirit King Xuan Tian just left abruptly and never returned! This brat's ancestor must have something to do with it! There is no way that I would acknowledge him!" Second Elder said with a smirk on his face.

Yi Tianyun just sighed at the corruptness that was happening in front of his eyes. He thought that by revealing some information to these guys, they would hear what he came to tell. But obviously, their greed blinded them from seeing the danger in front of them.

It seems that a little cleaning here and there wouldn't be bad!

Chapter 219

"Are you sure you want to do this? There must be a reason for the Spirit King Xuan Tian to not pass the Divine Art to the disciple at that time, you know!" The Great Elder said while glaring at the second elder.

The Great Elder was absolutely right. In fact, Yi Tianyun already knew the reason Spirit King Xuan Tian didn't bother to leave this Divine Art behind as his legacy. This Divine Art was full of holes. One big mistake, the user could damage their Blood Qi and end up losing their cultivation or worse, become crippled for life!

Not to mention that the Divine Art wasn't perfect at the time, it was halted at Void Spirit Cultivation Stage! This could be improved by the successor but a person compatible with this Divine Art was so rare!

"Great Elder! Are you really trying to make Heaven's Top Mansion better? You know that Mansion Lord wants this Divine Art for our disciple too, right!" the Second Elder said with a frustrating glare toward the Great Elder.

"Second Elder, I'm starting to think that you're only doing this because you want the Divine Art for yourself! You fail to get it before because you're already so far ahead with your Divine Art! Didn't you hear yourself? Are you really gonna share the Xuan Tian Divine Art once you get it?" He Qianhan said challengingly.

"I am willing to share it! As long as the disciples have a great Innate Ability and have contributed to Heaven's Top Mansion, they would get their chance to learn the Xuan Tian Divine Art!" The Second Elder said with a serious face.

"Stop! Why the fuck are you talking about the Divine Art like it was already yours! This is MY Divine Art! I am the Successor of the Spirit King Xuan Tian! Not you! If anyone wishes to learn this Divine Art, I don't mind teaching them if I feel like it!" Yi Tianyun said cockily.

"Rest assured! I have many means to extract it from you!" The Second Elder said with a smirk on his face.

"Rest assured, I have so many ways to kill you before that happens! I doubt that you could resist me when I go for your throat!" Yi Tianyun said with his smirk still on his face.

"I've had enough of your arrogance, kid! You are wasting the Divine Art's potential. Therefore I would extract it from you!" the Second Elder said coldly as he released his killing intent.

Yi Tianyun quickly rushed over to the second elder, ready to kill him, but he was stopped by the Great Elder.

"Second Elder! Stop this! Stop ruining our reputation any further in front of our guests!" the Great Elder said desperately.

"Great Elder, you have disappointed Heaven's Top Mansion!" The Second Elder said as he ignored the Great Elder and released his aura more intense than before.

The Great Elder also released his own aura to stop the Second Elder, "Grandpa, stop! You will open up your injury!" Mu Xian'er shouted at the Great Elder.

As the two of them were ready to attack each other, Yi Tianyun quickly rushed toward the Second Elder and slapped him in the face! Throwing him into a wall with his face heavily injured.

"I really despise people like you! A greedy pig whose greed doesn't know bounds! You think you are above everyone, aren't you?!" Yi Tianyun said with a cold glare.

"Son of a bitch! How dare you hit me! I will kill you!" The Second Elder said as he rushed toward Yi Tianyun with all his might.

Yi Tianyun wasn't bothered with the Second Elder's hostility, he watched the second elder movement, and when he got close enough, Yi Tianyun kicked the second elder right on his chest, this time hard enough, as the wall was destroyed when the Second Elder's body hit it!

The second elder was lying on the floor unable to move, it was clear to everyone by seeing his body that several of his ribs were already broken!

Everyone stared at Yi Tianyun, completely shocked to see Yi Tianyun easily defeated the second elder.

"Save me!" the second elder stuttered to the third elder. The third elder licked his lip in greed and quickly crushed a Jade Pendant.

"You are an amazing kid! But now, there is no way you can escape!" The third elder said while grinning. As the crushed pendant hit the floor, 8 shadow- like figures appeared in the room.

"You! You are colluding with the Netherworld Empire!" The Great Elder said he couldn't believe one of his elders was capable of doing such a thing.

"Great Elder, you are too stupid to see the betrayal when it is right below your nose! Even the Mansion Lord didn't see it coming." The third elder said while laughing hard.

"What did you do! What did you do to the Mansion Lord!" Great Elder said while looking paler than before.

"Mansion Lord? He is in the basement with his Blood Qi sealed and injured." The third elder said sarcastically.

"You traitor!" The Great Elder said furiously, while his nose and mouth were bleeding out.

"Grandfather! Your injury!" Mu Xian'er said while rushing to help her grandfather.

"You clearly underestimated me. These people you summon are nothing but food to me! No matter. Time to clean the house a little bit!" Yi Tianyun said as he released a little bit of his aura.

Chapter 220

"Even if the Xuan Tian Divine Art is formidable, I don't think that you will be smiling at the end of this unless you reach the Core Transformation stage somehow!" The third elder said as he saw Yi Tianyun was smiling confidently.

Qianhan had both a confused and depressed look on her face, as she didn't expect several of her elders to be traitors!

"Traitor! You are a disgrace of cultivators!" she said, trying to spite the third elder.

"No wonder that you are so committed to finding the Xuan Tian Divine Art, it's for the Netherworld Empire's cause! Rot in hell, you traitor!" The Great Elder said furiously.

"Heaven's Top Mansion has already fallen this low, did you really think I would continue to support this crumbling sect? I've always proposed Mansion Lord so we can become one of the Netherworld Empire's Sub Faction, and he always rejects my offer! So I have my own idea of doing things!" the third elder said plainly.

"Save me, brother!" The second elder said he was still bleeding on the floor.

"Fuck you! You're weakling!" The third elder said as he kicked the second elder quite hard. The second elder was once again thrown to the side while vomiting blood! Soon enough, he stopped breathing as he glared at the third elder without a single word, dead!

'DING'

'Successfully killed the Second Elder of Heaven's Top Mansion.'

'Reward: 24.000 Exp, 3.400 Crazy Points, 50 Sin Points, Liu Yun Knife, 100.000 Exp Pill.'

Yi Tianyun was quite surprised to see the notification even though he wasn't the one who killed the second elder. He suspected that the system would give him the reward for the kill regardless of who killed the enemy as long as he already did some damage to the said enemy.

The third elder turned his attention toward Yi Tianyun and the Great Elder, "Ohh, stop looking at me like that! I will send you down to meet him again soon!" he said while giving a signal for the Shadow Guards to attack.

As the Shadow Guards began to move, Yi Tianyun quickly slammed his foot into several Shadow Guards closest to him, throwing them to the wall. He quickly rushed over to the ones he sent flying towards the wall and kicked their head to kill them immediately.

'DING'

'Successfully killed a Shadow Guard!'

'Reward: 170.000 Exp, 3.200 Crazy Points, 50 Sin Points, Shadow Blade (Middle-Grade Soul Tool), Shadow Step.'

'DING'

'Successfully killed a Shadow Guard!'

'Reward: . . . '

'DING'

'Successfully . . .'

The rest of the Shadow Guards immediately stopped their attack after seeing their comrades fall so quickly. The Third Elder was glaring at Yi Tianyun in obvious shock! He didn't expect Yi Tianyun to be able to kill so many of them in such a short time!

A Shadow Guard quietly sneaks up to Yi Tianyun's back and immediately takes a position to stab Yi Tianyun. The Great Elder saw this and proceeded to warn Yi Tianyun, but Yi Tianyun already caught on to this futile struggle even before the Great Elder could warn him.

Yi Tianyun backhanded the Shadow Guard's Head powerfully, almost lopping the head of the Shadow Guard off his shoulder!

'DING'

'Successfully. . .'

Yi Tianyun quickly finished off the rest of the Shadow Guards, before they started to do something fishy again. After he was done, he turned his attention towards the Third Elder.

"It is your turn now! Any last words?" Yi Tianyun said calmly.

The Third Elder was shaken by Yi Tianyun's overwhelming power! He couldn't speak as he continued to stare at Yi Tianyun in shock!

Chapter 221

Now that all the Shadow Guard was dead, Yi Tianyun turned his attention toward the Third Elder.

Everyone in the room had their mouths wide open, they never thought that Yi Tianyun could finish all of the Shadow Guard so fast effortlessly!

"Is this the power of Xuan Tian Divine Art?" The Third Elder said with a surprised look on his face.

"Xuan Tian Divine Art? Don't get me wrong, sure the Divine Art is great, but that doesn't mean it is invincible! There are still so many improvements for it to be usable!" Yi Tianyun said with an indifferent manner.

Yi Tianyun walked slowly toward the Third Elder as the Third Elder was backing up little by little. As he attempted to escape, Yi Tianyun immediately rushed and kicked him towards the Great Elder.

"Here, do what you want! He betrayed you when you least suspected it, so you can decide his fate by your own hands!" Yi Tianyun said indifferently.

The Great Elder looked at the Third Elder with disgust in his eyes.

"You traitor! Is this really what you want? Become the Empire's slave?" the Great Elder said furiously.

"Do what you want! There is nothing left! The Mansion Lord is already gone, the Heaven's Top Mansion's prosperity is gone too! There is nothing left for this shitty place!" the Third Elder said while laughing mockingly.

"You really don't hold your life dear, do you?" Yi Tianyun said, clearly ticked off by the Third Elder laugh.

"Great Elder, you better choose! You want to end him yourself or I will help you with that!" Yi Tianyun said with an annoyed face.

"Kill me! Heaven's Top Mansion will soon belong to the Netherworld Empire!" The Third Elder said while grinning mockingly.

The Great Elder quickly kicked the Third Elder in the head with so much force behind it.

'DING'

'Successfully killed Heaven's Top Mansion Third Elder!'

'Reward: 23.000 Exp, 3.300 Crazy Points, 50 Sin Points, Heaven's Top Palm, Tianchen Step.'

Yi Tianyun once again was surprised by the notification when he didn't kill the enemy. He now knew for sure that as long as he gave a mortal wound to the enemy, he'd still get the exp and other rewards even if he wasn't the one who dealt the finishing blow.

After he finished the Third Elder, the Great Elder turned his attention towards Yi Tianyun.

"Thank you very much for helping us, young man! You are our hero! I didn't expect to meet a young genius like you." The Great Elder said, humbly.

"You don't need to thank me. It is my responsibility to help as I am the successor of the Spirit King Xuan Tian." Yi Tianyun said with a smile on his face.

"Now, we should check on the Mansion Lord. They clearly stated he was imprisoned in the basement. Did you know the way down there?" Yi Tianyun asked, worriedly.

"You are right! Come with me! I know the way down there!" the Great Elder said frantically. Clearly feeling guilty that he for a second forgot about his Mansion Lord.

They immediately followed the Great Elder towards the basement. On their way down, Mu Xian'er kept glancing at Yi Tianyun with a different light in her eyes.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I am no different than before, you know." Yi Tianyun said as he finally got annoyed by Mu Xian'er stares.

"It is clearly different! You are a genius cultivator! Even though you are almost the same age as me, your cultivation is already far ahead! How did you cultivate that fast?" Mu Xian'er said with amazement in her eyes.

"I am not doing anything special, you know. I'm constantly fighting to survive, that's it." Yi Tianyun said honestly.

Mu Xian'er looked confused by Yi Tianyun's explanation. She hasn't faced any real battle in her entire life. All she ever did was mock battles held by the Deacons.

"Young Master Yi, did Ancestor Xuan Tian leave any more wishes?" He Qianhan suddenly asked. She has been admiring Spirit King Xuan Tian since she was a child. She knew about all the legends about Spirit King Xuan Tian. And so, she was excited to find Yi Tianyun was the successor of Spirit King Xuan Tian himself!

"He doesn't leave any wishes behind. But he did mention Heaven's Top Mansion and suggested that I see it by myself if I want to join or not. He hasn't left anything that forced me to do anything." Yi Tianyun said solemnly.

Spirit King Xuan Tian never forgot about Heaven's Top Mansion. Even though he left, he still cherished Heaven's Top Mansion in his heart.

Chapter 222

"You came to check on Heaven's Top Mansion?" He Qianhan said as she felt a little bit excited. But she couldn't express her excitement, for she didn't know Yi Tianyun's position even if he decided to join Heaven's Top Mansion.

"Little Brother Yi, to tell you the truth, your level is way above all of us. If you choose to join us, I will give you the Great Elder position!" The Great Elder said with a serious face.

Yi Tianyun couldn't say anything as he felt overwhelmed, he wanted to say that he had no problem joining Heaven's Top Mansion, but he was afraid that he had no time managing it.

"I know that Heaven's Top Mansion is declining at this moment, but please consider your choice. We really need you now, and we don't ask you to give us anything in return." The Great Elder said with a little bit of desperation.

As Yi Tianyun was thinking of the Great Elder's word. They arrived at the dungeon in the basement. When they entered the dungeon, the Great Elder lit up a torch so they could see everything around them because the dungeon was in pitch-black darkness.

As they walked, they soon heard a coughing sound on one of the cages in front of them. They quickly rushed to see what was inside.

"Heh, you came again to torture me, aren't you fucker?" The Mansion Lord said with a weak painful voice.

"Mansion Lord!" shouted the Great Elder as he immediately opened the cage and examined the Mansion Lord. He was shocked to see how severe the injuries on the Mansion Lord's body were. There was so much wound, and the Mansion Lord's hands and legs have been amputated!

"Great Elder?" The Mansion Lord said with a hopeful voice.

"It's me, I am here to save you!" The Great Elder said with a sad tone in his voice.

As the Great Elder tried to lift the Mansion Lord's body, he screamed in pain, and there was a stream of blood coming out of his wounds. Mu Xian'er couldn't help but cover her mouth.

Yi Tianyun frowned as he saw Mansion Lord's condition. Clearly, the Second and Third Elder didn't have any compassion toward their own Mansion Lord.

"Quick! Gave the Mansion Lord a Recovery Pill!" The Great Elder shouted to He Qianhan.

"Don't worry about me, you have to get out! They would come here again. If they saw you here, you would be in trouble!" The Mansion Lord said faintly.

"You don't have to worry, Mansion Lord! We already cleaned them up along with the Netherworld Empire dogs that come with them." The Great Elder said solemnly.

"Is that so? That is great!" the Mansion Lord said faintly.

The Great Elder quickly fed the Recovery Pill to Mansion Lord's mouth. But as soon as he swallowed the pills, The Mansion Lord immediately vomited blood!

"This is the symptom of poisoning!" Yi Tianyun said as he saw the black blood, the Mansion Lord vomited black blood.

"The Recovery Pill wouldn't have any effect as long as the poison is still in his system!" Yi Tianyun said knowingly.

"Damn fucker!" The Great Elder shouted furiously.

"Don't worry, Mansion Lord. For now, you should eat the Detoxify Pills!" the Great Elder said hurriedly.

"It's useless! This poison was not a common poison. If you don't know what the poison is, there is no way to cure it." The Mansion Lord said as he remembered what his kidnapper said while laughing at his face.

Yi Tianyun didn't like this situation at all, "Is it okay if I try?" He said casually.

"Try? What are you gonna try?" The Great Elder said with confusion written all over his face.

'DING'

'Quest [Save The Mansion Lord!] taken!'

'Reward: 1.000.000 Exp, 10.000 Crazy Points, 100 Favorability Points on Mansion Lord, Great Elder, Mu Xian'er and He Qianhan, 100 Prestige Points.'

Yi Tianyun said nothing as he immediately examined the Mansion Lord's blood using the Appraisal Eye.

The Appraisal Eye could analyze almost anything, not only showing other people's information but it could also show the information on certain effects of an item. This included Poison and Medicinal Pill recipes.

However, if the pill's grade was too high. The Appraisal Eye wouldn't be able to analyze it.

'Successfully analyze the toxin in the blood.'

'Antidotes Ingredient: Butterfly Venom and Dropping Clouds Grass.'

Yi Tianyun immediately took out the Purple Fire Divine Furnace and quickly took out the necessary ingredient along with his Immortal Fire.

"Pill Refining?" The Great Elder was surprised to see Yi Tianyun was even able to do a pill refining!

The Great Elder wasn't the only person who was shocked to witness the fact that Yi Tianyun could refine a pill.

He Qianhan and Mu Xian'er were starstruck! They don't believe their eyes.

How could a teenager be this powerful?!

Chapter 223

Yi Tianyun began to refine the pill needed to cure the Mansion Lord from the poison on his body.

Everyone was surprised, as they didn't understand how powerful Yi Tianyun really was.

How could a Rune Master also be an Alchemist! That was just too much!

Yi Tianyun activated his Crazy Mode to speed up the refining process, as he was worried that the Mansion Lord couldn't hold on any longer.

After using Crazy Mode, Yi Tianyun saw that the refining time was reduced significantly from 1 hour to 8 minutes!

After 8 minutes, Yi Tianyun shouted that Refining is done!

Shocking everyone even more, as refining an intermediate level pill wasn't supposed to be that fast!

Yi Tianyun quickly fed the pill he refined just now to the Mansion Lord. The effect was immediately shown, the blackened eye bags under the Mansion Lord's eyes, throat, and nose were quickly fading.

"Quick, give the Recovery Pill to the Mansion Lord! There should be no problem now." Yi Tianyun said hastily.

The Great Elder quickly came forward and fed the Recovery Pill given by He Qianhan to the Mansion Lord.

This time, there was no rejection symptom toward the Recovery Pill, and gradually, his complexion returned and his wound closed.

This progress brought relief to everyone, as The Mansion Lord has passed his critical condition.

"His condition has stabilized for now. I think it should be okay to move him to his room now." Yi Tianyun said while grinning slightly.

Everyone sighed in relief and immediately nodded to Yi Tianyun as they quickly carried the Mansion Lord carefully upstairs.

"Thank you, little brother." The Mansion Lord said solemnly toward Yi Tianyun.

"Your welcome, Mansion Lord. This is part of my responsibility too." Yi Tianyun said humbly.

Even though the Mansion Lord has survived his critical condition, everyone knew that it would take a while before he completely recovered.

And there is another problem after that, even if he recovered completely, his cultivation was destroyed!

This is not a simple problem, it would take a hard and long time to recover his cultivation.

When they arrived at the Mansion Lord's bedchamber, they quickly laid the Mansion Lord on his bed.

"With the Mansion Lord's hand and feet cut off, there is a way to heal it. We need a Broken Rib Healing Cream, if you don't have it, I can refine it if you have the ingredients for it." Yi Tianyun said while smiling lightly.

"That medicine can only be refined by a 4th Grade Alchemy! Are you sure you can refine it?" The Great Elder asked, surprised by Yi Tianyun's Alchemy level.

Yi Tianyun only nodded his head in understanding. He knew that it was hard for anyone to process his capability considering his young age.

"Okay, Xian'er would show you the way to the pharmacy. I hope that you will find all you need to create one in there." The Great Elder said while signing Mu Xian'er to help Yi Tianyun.

"I would happily help!" Mu Xian'er said while nodding her head to the Great Elder.

Qianhan, on the other hand, kept wiping the blood on the Mansion Lord's body and continued to take care of him to make sure he was comfortable in his bed.

"This way Master Yi!" Mu Xian'er said casually.

When they were out of the room, Yi Tianyun quickly teased Mu Xian'er.

"Why are you so polite suddenly, little witch? And what is this master you are calling me? you know I am not part of Heaven's Top Mansion just yet." Yi Tianyun said while smirking.

Mu Xian'er face turned red in embarrassment instantly.

She knew nothing about Yi Tianyun when she pulled a prank on him earlier.

Now that she knew Yi Tianyun was far more powerful than she could imagine, she was afraid to offend Yi Tianyun in any way.

"Okay, you need to stop acting like this. There is a more serious matter at hand than this you know. with the Netherworld Empire's eyes on Heaven's Top Mansion, you will always be restless as they keep poking at you in some way." Yi Tianyun said, annoyed that Xian'er kept acting too politely toward him.

That was true.

Even if all the traitors were already dead, the Netherworld Empire would find another way to disturb Heaven's Top Mansion. They won't stop until they get what they want, and that is Xuan Tian Divine Art!

Mu Xian'er nodded her head in understanding, but Yi Tianyun still didn't see the cheerful little witch that he encountered before in Xian'er eyes.

Chapter 224

Yi Tianyun followed Mu Xian'er to pick up the ingredient for the Spirit Medicine to regenerate the Mansion Lord's lost limbs. After he got what he needed, he returned to the Mansion Lord's room and began refining the Spirit Medicine quickly.

This incident was only known to several people whom the Great Elder trusted.

The rest didn't even know that something was happening at the moment.

"I am done! Here, take this Broken Ribs Healing Cream to the Mansion Lord! Put it on his severed legs and hands, they would heal slowly over time." Yi Tianyun said to He Qianhan.

He Qianhan nodded and quickly applied the cream to the Mansion Lord's severed limbs.

"Thank you so much, you did so much for us, I don't know how many resources would be lost if you weren't here." The Great Elder said to Yi Tianyun sincerely.

"No problem, it is part of my responsibility as the successor of the Spirit King Xuan Tian." Yi Tianyun said humbly.

'DING'

'Successfully completed the [Saving the Mansion Lord] quest!'

'Reward: 1.000.000 Exp, 100 Favorability Points for Mansion Lord of Heaven's Top Mansion, the Great Elder of Heaven's Top Mansion, He Qianhan, and Mu Xian'er, 100 Prestige Points.'

Seeing that he got 100 Prestige Points, Yi Tianyun was quite happy! He knew that Prestige Points could influence everything he did. It basically enhanced his Luck without wasting any Crazy Points!

"The successor of Spirit King Xuan Tian?" The Mansion Lord said while looking quite surprised.

"Little brother, you see, I no longer have any qualification to be a Mansion Lord after they have destroyed my cultivation like this. I have a proposition to make! I officially declare you to become the next Mansion Lord of Heaven's Top Mansion and the Great Elder as your assistant to help you manage Heaven's Top Mansion!" The Mansion Lord said wilfully.

Yi Tianyun was shocked to hear the Mansion Lord's proposition, he never expected to bear a responsibility like this. He never even thought about having a high status, especially a Mansion Lord!

"I didn't mean to disrespect your decision, Mansion Lord. But I don't have the necessary prestige for the title. I don't even know if there will be any disciple that would support me for this position." Yi Tianyun said humbly.

"That's fine, with your Xuan Tian Divine Art and the Successor of Spirit King Xuan Tian, there is no one that would object to you becoming our Mansion Lord. Even if there is some opposition later on, I am sure that the Great Elder would be able to solve it." The Mansion Lord said solemnly.

Heaven's Top Mansion was in an awkward situation right now, they didn't have any elder except for the Great Elder, they didn't even have any single Old Ancestor that could guide them!

Yi Tianyun thought about his own decision at the moment, "I have a better proposition to make. You see, I already became an elder in a faction on Earthly Borders Continent. I don't intend to join any other Faction, as my hands were full at the moment. How about merging our faction together, Heaven's Top Mansion with me as the Mansion Lord and my other Faction so that Heaven's Top Mansion could recover fast without any unnecessary difficulties." Yi Tianyun said solemnly.

They were all surprised to hear Yi Tianyun 's proposition more than the Mansion Lord's proposition.

Merging two factions wasn't something that could be done easily, it's the same as to destroy one Faction and take over all their resources without a fight!

"I don't think that this is doable, Little Brother Yi. If we do that with Heaven's Top Mansion's current condition, I am sure that Heaven's Top Mansion would be swallowed by your Faction. I couldn't let that happen, as Heaven's Top Mansion was dear to everyone in this room and the disciple within it." The Mansion Lord said while sighing nervously.

"Then, how about we divide the merged faction into two chambers? The Female Disciple would become the disciples of the Heavenly Jade Sect, and the Male Disciple remained here Heaven's Top Mansion. After all, the Heavenly Jade Sect I am currently on was a female-only sect." Yi Tianyun said with a serious face.

"Heavenly Jade Sect?" The Mansion Lord said he was surprised to hear the name of Yi Tianyun's sect.

"Yes, that is the name of my Faction. It was once called Heavenly Jade Mansion, but it was once in decline, and recently became Heavenly Jade Sect after we were promoted to 2nd Grade Faction." Yi Tianyun said casually.

"Heavenly Jade? Do you know who named it?" The Mansion Lord said, while his shocked expression never left his face.

"This is the original name of the Spirit King Xuan Tian! His original name was He Tianxuan! (Tian Xuan = Heavenly Jade). This Faction you are in right now could be related to the Spirit King Xuan Tian! He left Heaven's Top Mansion after some incident that left him disappointed toward Heaven's Top Mansion, it is possible that after he left, he created another faction!" The Mansion Lord said with a surprised tone.

"This could be the case. I don't really know the name of the creator of Heavenly Jade Sect, I would check on it when I returned there. If this is really the case, would you be willing to merge our two factions?" Yi Tianyun said with a smile.

"If this is really the case, sure! I would be honored to merge with another Spirit King Xuan Tian's Faction." The Mansion Lord said with a warm smile.

Chapter 225

Yi Tianyun didn't expect to learn that Heavenly Jade Sect had a connection with Spirit King Xuan Tian. He knew that Heavenly Jade Palace used to accept both men and women disciples, but now he thought that somehow Spirit King Xuan Tian left the faction because of some reason which created resentment towards men, resulting in the male disciples and elders being all driven away.

Yi Tianyun was excited when he found out, as it would help the merge between Heavenly Jade Sect and Heaven's Top Mansion.

Even though Heaven's Top Mansion was in a bad spot right now, it didn't really matter.

As the place, Heaven's Top Mansion was built, was very good for cultivation.

"Since you have already accepted my term, I will gladly take the position as a Mansion Lord!" Yi Tianyun said to the Mansion Lord with passion.

Everyone in the room nodded their heads in agreement, they all seemed quite satisfied with Yi Tianyun's agreement to become the Mansion Lord of Heaven's Top Mansion.

After reading several reports from the Great Elder, Yi Tianyun finally grasped the entire situation of Heaven's Top Mansion.

Yi Tianyun knew that once the information about him becoming the new Mansion Lord was announced, he won't be able to go out of the Mansion freely for quite some time, so he chose to postpone the announcement until his business outside of Heaven's Top Mansion was done.

"After reading this report, I noticed that Heaven's Top Mansion's situation is far worse than I assumed. In several cases, this is even worse than a 2nd Grade Faction!" Yi Tianyun said solemnly.

"Yes, that is indeed the truth, Mansion Lord! We haven't received any new disciple for quite some time, and with our crumbling reputation, we know that our chance to recruit a new disciple will be smaller every single day passed." The Great Elder said with regret.

"When I was first mistaken as a disciple here, I saw the situation first hand. Some disciples act very arrogant and do whatever they please. Although I agree that in this kind of environment like this, some friendly competition here and there is very good, as the competition enters an abnormal level, it would be best to remove some toxicity." Yi Tianyun said solemnly.

"All I am trying to say is that we need to let some of these disciples go before they destroy the unity inside Heaven's Top Mansion completely. I know that some of them come from a family which was influential to Heaven's Top Mansion, but there is so much better way to gain resources than to sell ourselves up like this." Yi Tianyun said as he spoke with confidence to the Great Elder.

Yi Tianyun knew that disciples from influential families may think that acting all high and mighty was a given as they felt that the faction was theirs. If those disciples didn't act this way, then Yi Tianyun will not have the compulsion to expel them.

"You are my Mansion Lord, I abide by your decision. I will trust that you will make us great again!" the Great Elder said with high respect.

"Great! Now that we've settled that problem, comes a new one in the form of management! We don't have enough skilled people in terms of management. In the Heavenly Jade Sect, we had many of those. I planned to assimilate some of them to Heaven's Top Mansion to help us manage things here. I can't do that right now, as of now they still don't know my plan to merge the two factions together." Yi Tianyun said while sighing a little.

"I plan to leave as soon as the Mansion becomes a little bit stable so that the plan to merge the two factions can be pushed quickly." Yi Tianyun said solemnly.

"Great Elder, a messenger from the Netherworld Empire has come to visit!" a disciple suddenly came to the room.

Yi Tianyun looked toward the Great Elder and nodded. They walked toward the hall immediately to greet the said messenger.

As they entered the hall, they could see a middle-aged man sitting on the chair, sipping on some tea.

"Excuse us for being a little late," said the Great Elder solemnly.

"It's okay, I don't mind." Said the messenger arrogantly.

This arrogant behavior somehow didn't bode well with Yi Tianyun, a mere messenger acting all high and mighty toward his host!

"I came here to invite you to the royal feast! This is a direct invitation by the King of the Netherworld Empire himself, I hope that you will be there when the time comes." The messenger said smugly.

"Don't worry, we'll be there!" Yi Tianyun said indifferently. Even though he didn't like this man, he couldn't show any emotion, as that could be used against him.

As he had done his business, the messenger left the Heaven's Top Mansion place to go back to the Netherworld Empire while smirking evilly.

Chapter 226

Yi Tianyun took a look at the invitation from the Netherworld Empire, he frowned as he noticed that the invitation wasn't officially for Heaven's Top Mansion.

The invitation only showed the location of the meeting and the Netherworld Empire's stamp on it.

However, Yi Tianyun couldn't do anything about this now. He still didn't have the necessary skill to make a move against an empire just yet!

"I think they invited us to this meeting of theirs to see what we are capable of. They already realized that a fair amount of Shadow Guard has been killed here, I am sure of it!" Yi Tianyun said to the Great Elder.

Yi Tianyun originally would be attending this meeting as one of Stars Pavilion's Guest Elder, now he would be going as representative of Heaven's Top Mansion. he knew that things wouldn't be quite as peaceful as he originally thought.

"There is not much time now, we should prepare for the departure immediately." Yi Tianyun said to the Great Elder as he showed that the invitation indicated the meeting was due in 2 weeks.

The Great Elder nodded his head to Yi Tianyun and walked away to prepare their arrival at the Gathering Dragon City, the place of the meeting.

As Yi Tianyun walked inside to relax, the Great Elder came once again to inform them that they could go as Yi Tianyun was ready to leave.

"You should go first and wait for me there. I still need to do something in the meantime." Yi Tianyun said politely.

"As you wish, Mansion Lord. I will wait in the Heavenly Clouds Inn in Gathering Dragon City. You will easily find it as it is famous in the city." The Great Elder said politely.

Yi Tianyun nodded his head and went back to his room as the Great Elder immediately departed towards the Gathering Dragon City.

After a while, Yi Tianyun quickly went back to the Heavenly Spiritual Jade Pond inside the Stars Pavilion using the secret passage that he found back then.

As soon as he arrived inside the coffin room, he immediately activated all of the Divine Art used to enhance his Exp Gain.

"Heavens Devouring Divine Secret Art, activate! Absorbing Stars Great Technique, activate! Dark North Divine Art, activate!" Yi Tianyun shouted.

He immediately took a meditating position, and immediately the Spirit Power inside the room whirled towards Yi Tianyun like a whirlpool.

After quite some time, the amount of spirit power inside the room began to falter, the Jade Spirit Stones scattered inside the room gradually became transparent.

Yi Tianyun's action was noticed almost immediately, Heavenly Spiritual Jade Pond owned by the Stars Pavilion had a visitor who expressed his disappointment.

"Hey, there is too little Spirit Power inside the pond! Are you trying to rob me? Return my Soul Tool! This is unacceptable!" The visitor snarled.

"Impossible! Last time, the pond had quite a high concentration of Spirit Power! How can it be gone overnight?" Elder Yun said, clearly surprised to hear the visitor's complaint.

Elder Yun quickly went inside the pond to check the truth about the visitor's testimony, and he found that the visitor wasn't lying at all!

The Spiritual Power inside the pond was indeed fleeting!

"You believe me now?" The visitor said to Elder Yun in sarcasm.

"This is very embarrassing. I am very sorry for what happened here. We will return your Soul Tool immediately." Elder Yun said, politely dismissing the visitor.

"Such a waste of time!" the visitor grumbled as he left the Star Pavilion.

"Investigate this matter immediately! This isn't normal at all!" Elder Yun said to the guards around him.

Elder Yun panicked a little bit, how could he explain this phenomenon to the Pavilion Lord Li when he came back!

A group of guards began to investigate the Heavenly Spiritual Jade Pond to see if there was any leakage or some sort.

In the inner layer of the pond, Yi Tianyun still meditated, completely oblivious to the chaos he caused in the Star Pavilion.

'DING!'

'Congratulation, host successfully leveled up to Ninth Level Spirit Core Stage!'

Even after the notification disappeared, Yi Tianyun still absorbed the Spiritual Power inside the pond like a mad man! He was not satisfied just getting a level here. He still couldn't fight an empire with this level!

Chapter 227

As Yi Tianyun continued to absorb the Spiritual Energy, the Star Pavilion was frantically searching for the cause of the problem inside Heavenly Spiritual Jade Pond.

"How can this be! Find it! Find the leakage!" Elder Yun said nervously.

Clearly, this slip up would embarrass him in front of Pavilion Lord Li.

Just when he thought of the Pavilion Lord, he came strolling toward Elder Yun.

"What is going on? There is some report saying that the Spiritual Energy inside the pond was gone!" Pavilion Lord Li said unknowingly.

"I don't know about the Pavilion Lord! I can't find any reason behind the Spiritual Energy suddenly depleting! We have stood guard here all the time, and there is no one entering the place without permission." Elder Yun said apologetically.

"The problem must've lied in the underground Spiritual Vein has a problem! There is nothing we can do about this, it's already at its limit." Pavilion Lord Li said with a sad expression.

"Just collect all the Medicinal herbs here, and leave this place afterward." Pavilion Lord Li said with a regretful expression.

There is nothing Elder Yun could do after hearing Pavilion Lord Li already gave up on this pond. He just nodded and tasked the guards to collect the medicinal herbs.

As he absorbed the Energy at such an alarming speed, Yi Tianyun suddenly heard a crack. He took a look and was surprised to see that there were so many cracks appearing around the wall!

He quickly stopped meditating and for once glanced over to every nook inside the room.

He noticed that the Spiritual Energy inside the room was already depleted!

He still had around 15% more Exp to gain to level up to the Peak Level Spirit Core stage!

With a sigh, Yi Tianyun decided to open his status window to see his progress.

After he took a look, he was surprised to see that he had 1.8 million Crazy Points!

With this many points, he could level up various martial arts!

All of this was thanks to the Wang Family a while ago. Because of them, Yi Tianyun received many items and Crazy Points!

"There is not much time left! I have to get going now!" Yi Tianyun said quickly as he left the room.

After Yi Tianyun left, The Star Pavilion's Guard that was tasked to collect the Medicinal Herbs in the pond quickly stumbled down into the secret room as the ground beneath them quickly sank.

They were all shocked to see that there was still some hidden area inside the Heavenly Spiritual Jade Pond!

"There is a secret room down there! Quick, investigate the place!" Elder Yun said wonderingly.

This situation really caught them off guard!

Yi Tianyun, on the other hand, was completely oblivious to all of the mess he left behind!

Chapter 228

Yi Tianyun quickly went straight to the Gathering Dragons City with his Phoenix Wings.

He arrived in the city quickly without a problem.

The bustling Gathering Dragons City really was some sight to see, there were so many cultivation experts wandering through the city minding their own business.

Yi Tianyun quickly searched for the Heavenly Clouds Inn, which the Great Elder mentioned earlier.

The Inn was surprisingly easy to search, as he entered the city and asked the merchant where the Inn was, the merchant quickly pointed at the building he needed to head to.

As he walked toward the building, a Giant Eagle Cart suddenly ran past, almost hitting him.

As he was about to stop the cart, he noticed the Netherworld Empire symbol on the side of the cart.

He immediately stops his action, as he doesn't want to make a fuss.

As he looks around for anyone that has the same problem with him, he sees that no one really dares to do anything, as the Netherworld Empire is the strongest faction around.

After he realizes that nobody is gonna do anything about the arrogance of the Netherworld Empire Cart earlier, he pays no mind and continues to walk to the Inn the Great Elder was currently staying in.

As he arrived and entered the Inn, he was welcomed by a shouting man.

The man seemed to be shouting toward the Innkeeper on the check-in counter.

"How can an inn not have any more room! Do you know who I am?" The man kept shouting.

"We are truly sorry, sir! The rooms were all booked. We don't have any more empty rooms to get you." The Innkeeper said with a frustrated look on his face.

"Nonsense! We always have a room every time we come here!" The man said, ignoring what the innkeeper said.

"We are sorry, sir. With the scheduled dinner that the Netherworld Empire holds in upcoming days, many sects have booked their rooms much earlier." The Innkeeper said while shaking his head.

"We are Divine Runes Mansion! You don't have any excuse here!" The man said furiously.

Hearing the name of the faction Lin Li was in, intrigued Yi Tianyun a little bit.

After all, he hasn't paid them a visit yet after all Lin Li had done to the Zhu sisters.

"Please, sir! We really don't have any room left!" The innkeeper became more frustrated hearing the man shout at him.

"Give me your guest list! I want to see who is staying here!" The man shouted again.

The innkeeper handed the man the Guess List, his face was covered by worry, as he didn't want to have any incident here at the Inn.

Yi Tianyun shook his head.

It seemed that everyone in the Divine Runes Mansion was all the same.

They were all too hot-headed and arrogant.

Yi Tianyun decided to walk upstairs as he wanted to find the Great Elder soon.

As he arrived upstairs, a booming voice once again was heard

"Heaven's Top Mansion? They dare to stay in this inn? Moreover, booking 2 rooms for themselves? How dare a weak faction like that do this! I will kick their asses out myself!" The shouting man from earlier said and immediately walked upstairs and bumped into Yi Tianyun.

"Hey, kid, out of my way!" The man said as he wanted to push Yi Tianyun aside.

Yi Tianyun quickly backhanded the man casually, he was thrown to the foot of the stairs hard.

Yi Tianyun frowned a little bit. For a loud man, he sure was squishy!

Chapter 229

Li Huan from Divine Rune Mansion has been thrown down by Yi Tianyun!

Recovering from his shock, Li Huan immediately shouted at Yi Tianyun, "How dare you hit me! I'll break your bones myself, kid!" Li Huan said in anger.

"I am just returning the favor, you know." Yi Tianyun said indifferently.

Li Huan was more furious than before. He charged at Yi Tianyun, when he was close enough, once again he was slammed by Yi Tianyun!

This time Yi Tianyun flung him over a window and fell into the street outside.

"Mansion Lord? What happened?" The Great Elder said as he saw Yi Tianyun when he went out of the room to inspect the ruckus.

"It's nothing. Some little trouble made its way to me." Yi Tianyun said convincingly to the Great Elder.

As Yi Tianyun wanted to follow the Great Elder towards their rooms, Li Huan once again showed up shouting.

"There he is, senior brother! He hit me twice!" Li Huan said towards a man.

"Is that so? Then, I will settle this personally for you!" Lin Feng said to Li Huan.

"We are from Heaven's Top Mansion! We are an official guest invited by the Netherworld Empire! You dare to hinder us?" The Great Elder said with a frown on his face.

"You are from Heaven's Top Mansion? Now, there shouldn't be a problem then!" Lin Feng said as he charged towards Yi Tianyun to attack.

The Great Elder was frowning as he didn't understand the way this man acted. He didn't tell them that Yi Tianyun was a Mansion Lord of Heaven's Top Mansion because Yi Tianyun requested it himself!

If that wasn't the case, he knew that these people wouldn't bother Yi Tianyun.

No one wants to fight against a Mansion Lord unless they're really confident!

"Then, don't blame me for whatever is gonna happen to you!" Yi Tianyun said as he slammed his foot hard towards the charging Lin Feng!

Lin Feng was flung towards the window and the same with Li Huan, he also ended up falling in the street!

The difference was Lin Feng didn't survive Yi Tianyun's overwhelming power!

Li Huan was only punched lightly by Yi Tianyun and Lin Feng was kicked hard in the chest!

'DING'

'Successfully killed Lin Feng!'

'Reward: 23.000 Exp, 2.400 Crazy Points, 30 Sin Points, 500 Divine Rune Mastery, Evil Heaven Martial Art, Golden Purple Feather Fan.'

Yi Tianyun was a bit surprised seeing Lin Feng die so easily. But, he still didn't care much.

After all, Lin Feng was the one who challenged him.

Li Huan and the people from Divines Rune Mansion quickly ran towards Lin Feng's lifeless body, and after they checked Lin Feng's pulse and breathing, they left the scene quickly!

"Mansion Lord, this is gonna be a big deal!" The Great Elder said worriedly.

The Great Elder knew that badly injuring a disciple from another faction could trigger retribution!

"Don't worry, they aren't a problem that we can't handle!" Yi Tianyun said casually.

The look on the Great Elder's face right now was nervous, he trusted Yi Tianyun will be able to solve the problem later, but there were still some doubts in his heart!

This happened to My Xiang'er as well, as she watched what happened through the door of their rooms in silence.

Mu Xiang'er wandered outside of the room to see the commotion as her grandpa didn't come back immediately.

"Don't worry, as a Mansion Lord, I will not let Heaven's Top Mansion be ridiculed in the future!" Yi Tianyun said confidently.

Chapter 230

With Yi Tianyun singlehandedly trying to preserve Heaven's Top Mansion dignity, the Great Elder and all the others that came with him were all looking at Yi Tianyun with wonder.

Yi Tianyun successfully rekindled their spirit that was dimmed by Heaven's Top Mansion decline.

They all made a promise to follow Yi Tianyun's command eagerly in the future.

Yi Tianyun only smiled at them, he didn't feel anything he did just now was something worth mentioning.

It was only natural for him to punish anyone who dared mocking people close to him.

Furthermore, killing people was great for him, as they would be a staple for his Exp gain.

But Yi Tianyun made up his mind that all of the Divine Runes Mansion's disciples were all the same as Lin Li, selfish people with a little to none ability to back it up!

This newfound thought made Yi Tianyun become more disgusted by Divine Runes Mansion's disciple; he may visit them in the near future after all.

They could give him a large amount of Divine Runes Mastery.

Immediately, the Great Elder and the rest of Heaven's Top Mansion's disciples excused themselves to let Yi Tianyun rest in the room, leaving him alone.

Yi Tianyun already said that some of them could share his room, but the Great Elder insisted that this was a treatment that any Mansion Lord should have.

So Yi Tianyun only sighed and let them go to the next room.

In his spare time, while waiting for the time to meet with the Netherworld Empire, Yi Tianyun cultivated his Divine Rune Mastery a little bit and couldn't help but think that he should move the Heavenly Jade Sect to Heaven's Top Mansion as soon as possible.

This merge would substantially improve both cultivation progress!

As he was deep in his thoughts, a knock on the door was heard.

"It is time, Lord Yi." The Great Elder said politely.

Yi Tianyun quickly stood and opened the door to see the Great Elder in front of his door.

Yi Tianyun nodded his head and then proceeded to walk outside the Inn.

The Great Elder quickly led the way to the Imperial Building of Gathering Dragons City.

This building was built especially for representatives of the Netherworld Empire.

Yi Tianyun looked around the front yard of the building and saw that there were so many beautiful decorations everywhere and this place could also hold thousands of people easily.

Knowing that fact, Yi Tianyun felt that the Netherworld Empire was so rude to invite a guest but let them rest in an Inn instead of their own place.

As Yi Tianyun arrived at the gate, the Guard quickly extended their arms and asked for the invitation for the group.

The Great Elder quickly handed out the invitation given to them earlier and soon after, the guard let them all in.

After entering the place, Yi Tianyun noticed that many guards were patrolling the place back and forth.

Yi Tianyun saw one person who was a step above the other in terms of cultivation and he assumed that person had to be the Guard's Captain!

Sure enough, Yi Tianyun saw the difference between an empire and a mansion. A Spirit Core cultivator could easily become a deacon or an elder in a 3rd Grade Faction. But here, a Spirit Core cultivator was only a guard's captain!

As Yi Tianyun arrived at the Innermost Palace of this building, Yi Tianyun saw two familiar faces.

He saw the two ladies that he encountered on the Devil Cloud Island, if he wasn't mistaken, their name was Yu Shiqian and Zhao Yu. But, with his face different from that time, he doubts those 2 ladies would be able to recognize him.

Yi Tianyun tapped the Great Elder and asked him what sect the 2 ladies were from.

"Oh, they are from the White Lotus Mansion. They are all females in there, a Female only faction. The same type of faction as your Heavenly Jade Sect, Lord Yi." The Great Elder answered politely.

"Hmmm, interesting." Yi Tianyun said as he kept staring at Yu Shiqian and Zhao Yu's direction.

Chapter 231

Yu Shiqian was one of White Lotus Mansion's representatives.

They were invited naturally for their great influence in the Heavenly Border Continent. Their Mansion Lord was as beautiful as a rose garden.

The Mansion Lord must attend this dinner to show respect to the Netherworld Empire who invited them. But this was not the case for the Netherworld Empire itself, the Emperor didn't have to come to this dinner at all!

When Yi Tianyun was looking around the place to check the guest's cultivation with his Appraisal Eye, Elder Yun approached him, somewhat surprised to see Yi Tianyun among the guests.

Yi Tianyun turned around and couldn't help but be surprised himself.

"Elder Yun, I see you're already here!" Yi Tianyun said, surprised.

"Yeah, we've arrived just now. I am a little bit surprised to see you here, Pavilion Lord Li seems to not know that you are here." Elder Yun said with a smile on his face.

"Yeah, I didn't give any answer to the Star Pavilion as I have something else to attend to. I have joined the Heaven's Top Mansion, so it's only natural to come here with them." Yi Tianyun said, explaining his situation a little bit.

"I am happy that you've finally joined a faction this time, Guest Official Yi." Elder Yun said politely. However, Yi Tianyun noticed the look on Elder Yun's face, it seems that he was a little disappointed to hear Yi Tianyun joining a low-level faction like Heaven's Top Mansion.

After Elder Yun excused himself to go look for Pavilion Lord Li, Zhang Bin who lost to Yi Tianyun in the match in Heaven's Top Mansion before suddenly came and paid his respect to the Great Elder.

Once he looked closely, Zhang Bin realized that Yi Tianyun was near the Great Elder.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" Zhang Bin said with a frown on his face.

He didn't know that Yi Tianyun had already become a Mansion Lord of Heaven's Top Mansion.

Seeing Zhang Bin's disrespectful words, the Great Elder interrupted the conversation with his own question.

"I remember that you are Zhang Bin, right? Why are you here? We didn't invite you with us, as far as I can remember." The Great Elder said, full of wonder.

"Well, I didn't come here as a Heaven's Top Mansion's disciple! I am here as a disciple of the Divine Runes Mansion!" Zhang Bin said proudly.

"This will be the last time I will be calling you the Great Elder, Great Elder." Zhang Bin said while smirking proudly.

"What? Don't you know the punishment for leaving your original faction?" the Great Elder said disappointedly.

"I know, once you leave your original faction you have to abandon your cultivation stage and start anew. But what can Heaven's Top Mansion do? Divine Runes Mansion is more powerful than you, and you could do nothing about it." Zhang Bin said condescendingly.

As Zhang Bin finished his little speech, Yi Tianyun immediately slapped his face hard.

This incident startled everyone in the vicinity, as they never thought that a fight could break out at this dinner party.

"You hit me! How dare you!" Zhang Bin said while gritting his teeth.

"What is happening here!?" A Deacon from Divine Runes Mansion comes to Zhang Bin's side.

"Deacon, he hit me! Heaven's Top Mansion trash hit me!" Zhang Bin said furiously.

The deacon quickly looked at Yi Tianyun and sneered at him.

"I didn't expect that Heaven's Top Mansion was capable of such reckless action towards our disciple!" The deacon said dramatically.

"We don't do anything outside the faction rules. He leaves, so he must abandon his cultivation. If he refuses to do it himself, we will do it for him." Yi Tianyun said indifferently.

"He is a member of ours now! You have to get permission from us first!" The Deacon said proudly.

Zhang Bin at the side was smirking proudly since Divine Runes Deacon backed him up.

"Yes, I no longer have any relation with trash like Heaven's Top Mansion! I refuse to do what you said!" Zhang Bin said proudly.

As he finished speaking, Yi Tianyun quickly rammed Zhang Bin's chest with his palm.

This technique was only eligible for the faction leader which could destroy a disciple's cultivation stage.

"A faction rule must be followed to a tee. Now, you can have him." Yi Tianyun said indifferently to the Deacon of Divine Runes Mansion.

"Oh my god! Deacon! My cultivation is gone! It's all gone!" Zhang Bin said to the deacon with teary eyes.

The deacon just stood there dumbfounded, he couldn't react to Yi Tianyun's speed at all!

Chapter 232

Zhang Bin was in a nervous breakdown as he realized that he no longer had his cultivation.

"Deacon! What should I do now! My cultivation is all gone!" Zhang Bin said dramatically.

He knew that he still can develop his cultivation anew, but how many years will that take before he could reach his current level of cultivation?

He wouldn't be strong enough at the end of his life, all of his friends would surpass him by a huge margin!

Yu Shiqian looked at Yi Tianyun in the commotion, she had this nostalgic feeling coming from Yi Tianyun, but she didn't seem to remember seeing him anywhere.

"Older sister, are you okay?" Zhou Yu asked Yu Shiqian after seeing Yu Shiqian was staring at Yi Tianyun.

"It's nothing, I thought that I had seen him somewhere." She said unsurely.

"Do you suddenly find him interesting?" Zhou Yu said teasingly.

"Shut up!" Yu Shiqian said annoyedly.

At the same time, the Deacon of Divine Runes Mansion has become furious about Yi Tianyun's action.

"It seems that Heaven's Top Mansion was prepared to become the enemy of the Divine Runes Mansion! Do you want to be annihilated so badly?" the Deacon said through his teeth.

The Great Elder was silent as he didn't know what to do, he could only wait for Yi Tianyun's response.

Seeing that Heaven's Top Mansion didn't speak up, the deacon became more confident.

"It seems that you aren't willing to accept your fate! I will give you another chance! You have to destroy two of your disciples' cultivation and we are even!" The Deacon said confidently.

Yi Tianyun slapped him harder than he slapped Zhang Bin this time, the deacon's body was flung to the wall!

This action once again drew everyone's attention, they gasped due to shock!

They never thought that Heaven's Top Mansion was this bold.

Everyone looked at Yi Tianyun in awe now.

They knew that the deacon of Divine Runes Mansion wasn't at the low cultivation stage, so Yi Tianyun's cultivation must be higher than him, which meant that he was already in the Core Condensation stage!

But they were a little bit sad to see a promising young boy like this would be in huge trouble once the Mansion Lord of Divine Runes Mansion came.

The deacon that Yi Tianyun hit was looking at Yi Tianyun with widened eyes, this was the first time someone hit him although knowing where he was from.

Suddenly his mood cheered as he saw his Mansion Lord walk towards him.

"Lord Nan Fengyun! Look at my face! How dare this Heaven's Top Mansion's scum do this to me!" the deacon said dramatically.

The Mansion Lord saw the deacon's face and sighed.

"Are you also the one that killed my direct disciple earlier?" He asked Yi Tianyun coldly while releasing his aura.

Everyone was a little bit startled by Nan Fengyun's accusation.

Killing a direct disciple of a Mansion Lord without an apparent reason was a big crime!

Was this boy named Yi Tianyun a daredevil or just an idiot?

At the same time, a man came from behind Nan Fengyun and pointed at Yi Tianyun.

"It's him! He is the one who killed the young master!" The man said accusingly.

He was one of Divine Rune Mansion's disciples who stayed at the inn and witnessed the incident at the time.

"So, it is you! Now, have you lived a good life so far?" Nan Fengyun said coldly as he increased the pressure of his aura.

Nan Fengyun quickly rushed towards Yi Tianyun and quickly turned his hands into a claw, ready to ravage Yi Tianyun!

As he was getting closer and closer towards Yi Tianyun, a loud voice was heard from the palace.

"STOP!" The voice said confidently.

Hearing this voice, Nan Fengyun quickly stopped and backed away from Yi Tianyun.

This was the voice of the Netherworld Empire's Guard.

He realized that he had to obey this order if he didn't want to get into trouble with the Netherworld Empire.

"Master Cheng Feng will come out soon! You better not do anything stupid!" The guard said warningly.

Nan Fengyun just nodded at the guard and turned his attention back to Yi Tianyun.

"Consider yourself lucky that you are in the presence of the Netherworld Empire now. Otherwise, you are already dead!" Nan Fengyun said coldly.

"No, you're the one who's lucky right now." Yi Tianyun said indifferently.

Nan Fengyun was blown away by Yi Tianyun's statement.

How could a brat be this arrogant!

He really wished that he could kill Yi Tianyun now!

Chapter 233

Apparently, some people in the courtyard didn't really think highly of Yi Tianyun's arrogance.

They didn't know that the real reason for this behavior of Yi Tianyun was because of Divine Runes Mansion's egotistical ways of doing things.

People in the courtyard thought that would be the end of Heaven's Top Mansion for sure!

Angering a Mansion Lord from another faction was so bad for the current Heaven's Top Mansion!

"Brat, you are so brave! Do you know who I am? Or did you have a strong back up your ass?" Nan Fengyun said in bitterness.

"Mansion Lord Nan, you don't need to know if we have any. It is none of your concern." The Great Elder said confidently.

"Good, since this matter can't be solved here, I would personally visit Heaven's Top Mansion in the near future!" Nan Fengyun said while sneering.

Among the crowd, Zhou Yu overheard the exchange of words between Nan Fengyun and the Great Elder.

"Elder Sister, that boy has dug his own grave! He didn't think before he said anything, he didn't mind his manner even though he was speaking with the Mansion Lord of Divine Runes Mansion!" Zhou Yu said while frowning a little bit.

"Yeah, we still don't know if he really has a strong backer or just plain stupid!" Yu Shiqian said as she shook her head in wonder.

Star Pavilion, which was also there, was even more shocking!

They were torn between the status of Guest Official held by Yi Tianyun, or the Mansion Lord of a prestigious Faction!

"Pavilion Lord Li, Guest Elder Yi was too bold right now, what should we do?" Elder Yun said in worry.

"I didn't expect this myself, I didn't expect he was such a troublemaker!" Pavilion Lord Li said, he clearly didn't know what to do himself.

Star Pavilion has always been neutral from the very beginning, so he couldn't afford to help Yi Tianyun. By doing so, he would be a target for revenge later!

At the same time, a handsome middle-aged man came out from the Netherworld Empire building.

He exerted a little bit of his aura as he saw that nobody noticed his presence.

As he did so, everyone turned their heads to see who was coming, and immediately bowed their heads while welcoming the Minister of the Netherworld Empire's arrival.

"Welcome everyone to my humble abode! I am grateful to see that every Mansion Lord of the faction that I invited was able to come here. I know, I must be a little bit late, but it is because my messenger gave one invitation to a low-level faction without noticing me. But rest assured, all has been taken care of at this moment." Minister Cheng Feng said assuringly.

"This time, I invite everyone here to discuss a few things for the greater future of the Heavenly Border Continent. It is coming from the Emperor himself!" He said while emphasizing the word Emperor, so there should be no question at all.

Everyone took a glance at each other and then turned their head to look at the minister again.

They didn't know what they should do at this point.

"Oh yeah, today happens to be my birthday as well, I expect that everyone would give me a present appropriately." Minister Cheng Feng said excitedly.

Everyone was a little surprised to hear this news from the minister, as they didn't prepare anything in advance.

The Mansion Lord who stood closer to the minister, quickly handed over a 100-Years Ginseng on his personal inventory while praying for the minister's longevity as the present for Minister Cheng.

"This is great! I can use this ginseng to gain more blood, thank you very much for your generosity." Minister Cheng said humbly.

After this little exchange, many Mansion Lords quickly took something worthy from their personal belongings as a gift to Minister Cheng.

"Minister Cheng, this is a High-Grade Soul Tools which has a Dragon Clan Blood as its core. It can release an electric wave to stun the enemy." One Mansion Lord said while giving the said weapon to Minister Cheng.

After that, one after another, Mansion Lords from various Factions gave a gift worthy of praise from Minister Cheng.

But this interaction made Yi Tianyun frown as he thought, "How could such a man of his caliber have no shame at all!"

Chapter 234

The faces of some Mansion Lords said it all, they didn't have a good relationship with the Netherworld Empire, but now they have to give a gift for this man!

"Mansion Lord, what should we do? We don't have anything worthy to give right now." The Great Elder said nervously to Yi Tianyun.

"It's okay, I will think of something when the time comes." Yi Tianyun said casually.

In fact, Yi Tianyun surely had some worthy items in his personal inventory, but he hardly wanted to give it to someone else, let alone to this thick-faced pig!

"I hate this situation! I hate myself for being so weak as I'm no help to you!" The Great Elder said in a sorry expression.

"Don't blame yourself for this. I will make him pay for what he deserves!" Yi Tianyun said while smirking.

"Don't do anything harsh now, Mansion Lord Yi! We don't have any power to fight against the Netherworld Empire right now!" The Great Elder said to Yi Tianyun quickly.

He was afraid that Yi Tianyun would involve Heaven's Top Mansion in more trouble.

"Don't worry, I will not make it that obvious." Yi Tianyun said while looking forward as his moment was about to come.

At the same time, Nan Fengyun was giving his gift to Minister Cheng.

"Minister Cheng, this is my gift to you. This is a High-Grade Soul Tools with a 5th Grade Divine Rune embedded in it. The runes added extra sharpness to the weapon!" Nan Fengyun said humbly.

Minister Cheng said his thanks and looked at the sword in excitement.

However, even though Nan Fengyun gave the gift willingly, his heart hurt to let go of his beloved weapon.

"It seems that Divine Runes Mansion really is a great faction. I will recommend some Spirit Race Rune Master to your faction after this." Minister Cheng said excitedly.

"Thank you, Minister Cheng. I will look forward to it." Nan Fengyun said suddenly satisfied by his choice of gift.

If a Spirit Race joined his Mansion, the reputation of Divine Runes Mansion would skyrocket in the future!

After Minister Cheng was done talking with Nan Fengyun, they both looked at the next faction and it was none other than Heaven's Top Mansion!

Nan Fengyun looked at Yi Tianyun with disdain and a smirk plastered in his face, while Minister Cheng was looking at him with a frown in his face.

Yi Tianyun didn't seem to lose his composure at this uncomfortable stare and glare those two gave him.

"Very bold move here, Heaven's Top Mansion! How dare your Mansion Lord not come to give his respect to the Netherworld Empire!" Nan Fengyun said challengingly.

Yi Tianyun looked at Nan Fengyun in a bored expression.

"I don't want to burst your bubble, but I am the Mansion Lord of Heaven's Top Mansion!" Yi Tianyun said indifferently.

Everyone on the courtyard was surprised to hear Yi Tianyun's claim.

They had the same question circulating in their head, how could a young man like Yi Tianyun become a Mansion Lord!

"Is this true, Great Elder? Did you back his words?" Nan Fengyun said challengingly to the Great Elder.

"Yes, this is the truth! He is our new Mansion Lord!" The Great Elder said confidently.

"This is really something else! A stupid brat becomes a Mansion Lord? Howe Heaven's Top Mansion has fallen!" Nan Fengyun said while laughing out loud.

"Did anyone care about your opinion?" Yi Tianyun said indifferently.

He proceeded to ignore Nan Fengyun, leaving the bitter old man furious.

But he couldn't do anything to Yi Tianyun at this moment, the Minister has already forbidden anyone to start a fight in this courtyard!

Yi Tianyun walked toward Minister Cheng and handed him a beautiful sword.

"Minister Cheng, this is a High-Grade Soul Tools I presented as your gift." Yi Tianyun said with a serious tone in his voice.

"Yes, this is a wonderful weapon! It is not inferior in terms of quality than the gift from the Divine Rune Mansion earlier. It seems that time has really changed. After all, such a young man like you is already able to become a Mansion Lord!" Minister Cheng said excitedly.

"Thank you very much for your praise, Minister Cheng!" Yi Tianyun said casually.

As he bowed in front of the Minister, Yi Tianyun flicked a little pill towards Minister Cheng quietly.

This pill is the Bad Luck Pill that he got from the roulette earlier. After reading the description, he knew that this pill didn't have to be consumed by his target to activate its effect. It just needed to be in the target's possession!

He was looking forward to the bad luck that would happen to the minister at any second now!

Chapter 235

Now everyone on the courtyard could see why Yi Tianyun was standing in front of Heaven's Top Mansion from the very beginning.

He was the Mansion Lord himself!

Now, all those people thought of was just who the hell was Yi Tianyun?

Was he the son of the previous Mansion Lord of Heaven's Top Mansion?

Or was he a son of some influential man?

Everyone couldn't help but wonder.

Yi Tianyun wasn't a man without power either. It was clear that he was at least a cultivator of Spirit Core stage if not higher from the previous incident before the arrival of Minister Cheng! People couldn't grasp on what stage Yi Tianyun's power really was, he hadn't shown his aura to anyone before, so no one knew how powerful he really was.

"No wonder he came here with Heaven's Top Mansion, he is the Mansion Lord himself!"

Elder Yun said, a little bit startled by Yi Tianyun's revelation.

This revelation piqued Li Tianlong's interest.

Now he was really curious about Yi Tianyun's power and such!

Yi Tianyun just smiled toward Minister Cheng and returned to his previous spot.

He didn't care about anyone that stared in wonder at him.

"Minister Cheng! It is clear that my gift was much better than that brat's gift! I have the advantages of a 5th Grade Divine Rune on my gift!" Nan Fengyun said bitterly.

Cheng Feng ignored Nan Fengyun's whine and proposed that Yi Tianyun demonstrated a little bit of his power in front of everyone with a mock battle.

Yi Tianyun agreed on the spot.

He was not some weakling that Cheng Feng could shame in front of others!

He will make sure to crush anyone!

"Since Mansion Lord Yi agreed to do a mock battle, I proposed my man to be his opponent. He is an inner disciple of Divine Runes Mansion. I hope that you will perform as your title suggests!" Nan Fengyun said to Yi Tianyun in sarcasm.

Hearing Nan Fengyun's words, Yi Tianyun felt like crushing whoever he sent to him to a pulp!

As Yi Tianyun entered the platform, Nan Fengyun sent a guy named Zheng Yu to fight Yi Tianyun.

Nan Fengyun didn't stop there, he shouted at Yi Tianyun to catch the sword he was about to throw and then threw the sword at a high speed.

If Yi Tianyun wasn't prepared himself, it could cause serious injuries for sure!

Yi Tianyun couldn't do anything about Nan Fengyun's little show here, in everyone's eyes, it was just a little support to Yi Tianyun by giving him a weapon.

But to make a show out of it, Yi Tianyun began to twirl the sword beautifully, enrapturing some of the audience.

After his little show, Yi Tianyun was ready to start as Zheng Yu was ready too.

"Minister Cheng, I hope that you will not be disgusted by a few bloodsheds in the arena." Nan Fengyun said humbly.

"It's okay, how can I be a minister of the Netherworld Empire if I am afraid of a little blood." Minister Cheng said casually.

With that said, Nan Fengyun began to grin, this word by Minister Cheng was the same as authorizing some random attack, even if Yi Tianyun was killed, it would not be a problem!

It could be waved off as an accident and the lack of skill from Yi Tianyun.

"Zheng Wu, I hope you show us your true talent! And not be a disappointment to Divine Runes Mansion! And I hope for the same thing to you Mansion Lord Yi, I hope that you will live up to your title." Nan Fengyun shouted excitedly.

"Relax, if I lose, I will resign from my position as a Mansion Lord." Yi Tianyun said indifferently.

Hearing Yi Tianyun's words, many people were a little bit surprised.

How could he bet something so important that easily!

Only the eyes of the Great Elder that were showing a different emotion, he was the only one who showed a wide smile on his face.

He knew that Yi Tianyun wouldn't lose against Zheng Wu!

As Minister Cheng signed the start of the battle, Zheng Wu immediately activated the 5th Grade Divine Rune on his sword, sharpening the blade more.

This Divine Rune enhanced the quality of the sword exponentially making Yi Tianyun's sword pale in comparison!

Yu Shiqian at the side couldn't bear to look at the arena, that was too much!

At this time, the gap between their weapons was too wide!

Chapter 236

"Sister, let's have a bet! I bet that Zheng Wu will win!" Zhou Yu said excitedly.

"Don't you think Mansion Lord Yi is a bit too calm for someone you consider would lose?" Yu Shiqian said as she observed the match.

"If I lose this bet, you will accompany me to see Young Master Hua! If you lose, you will tag along on my next cultivation! Agreed?" Yu Shiqian said teasingly.

"Sister, you are too crazy at cultivating! It's not fun! But sure! I will take on your challenge!" Zhou Wu said while puffing his cheek.

In the arena, Yi Tianyun held his sword at his chest as he waited for Zheng Wu to attack.

This move confused everyone watching a little bit, why didn't Yi Tianyun attack?

He would surely be at a disadvantage as Zheng Wu's sword was better for an offense.

Since Yi Tianyun's action was quickly deciphered as a challenge by Zheng Wu, he quickly rushed forward to attack Yi Tianyun with all his might.

As he started to swing his sword, Yi Tianyun quickly parried Zheng Wu's attack by slamming his sword to Zheng Wu's sword, sending a shockwave to Zheng Wu's arms.

Zheng Wu quickly felt the numbness on his arm and was forced to let go of his sword, Yi Tianyun quickly took this chance and kicked Zheng Wu with a considerable amount of force.

Zheng Wu was flung toward the edge of the arena with his aura becoming weaker by the second!

'DING'

'Successfully killed Zheng Wu!'

'Reward: 170.000 Exp, 2.600 Crazy Points, 30 Sin Points, 500 Divine Rune Mastery, God Finger Martial Art, Qi Condensation Secret Art.'

Seeing Zheng Wu was killed in an instant, everyone was surprised beyond belief!

Zheng Wu's cultivation was at 6th stage Core Condensation, which was not below average at all!

This revelation simply stated that Yi Tianyun's cultivation was much higher than Zheng Wu!

"You lose, Zhao Yu! That means that you will come to my next cultivation too!" Yu Shiqian said excitedly.

"How is this possible? He really is strong despite being that young!" Zhao Yu said as she was quite surprised.

"Mansion Lord Nan, he is the one who killed your Direct Disciple! He should be far stronger than Zheng Wu by default!" One of the Divine Runes Mansion's deacons said to Nan Fengyun.

"You should have told me sooner!" Nan Fengyun said bitterly.

Yi Tianyun couldn't hear their conversation from that distance, but he could guess that whatever they talked about was not good for Nan Fengyun.

"Mansion Lord Nan, I wonder if I deserve my title now?" Yi Tianyun said challengingly.

"You sure are qualified!" Nan Fengyun smiled bitterly as he walked away from the arena.

He couldn't send more people up there as that would be a fatal blow to his faction if by any chance Yi Tianyun kept winning over them.

And he couldn't go up there himself, the age gap was too far apart, even if he won, people would look at him as a child killer in the future!

At the same time, Minister Cheng quickly applauded Yi Tianyun's performance.

"Yes, you are amazing! To have such high cultivation at a young age! You will definitely be a great person in the future!" Minister Cheng said excitedly.

"But it seems that Mansion Lord Yi wins against such a weak disciple, how about we continue your performance? I want to see more of your power! Now that we know that you are strong, I will let anyone fight you! No age limitation needed!" Minister Cheng said while smirking.

Hearing Minister Cheng's words, everyone was quite surprised!

Everyone couldn't help but think, what has Yi Tianyun done to receive such hate from the Minister of the Netherworld Empire?

Yi Tianyun's eyes were cold, he definitely would make this man pay for his sin!

But as the time was already long enough, he couldn't help but wonder, why didn't the Bad Luck Pills he threw earlier activate yet?

'Come on! Where's the bad luck?' Yi Tianyun thought to himself.

'DING'

'Bad Luck Pill's effect activated! Time limit: 5 minutes.'

Yi Tianyun was surprised, he didn't know that the pill's effect was activated manually!

Chapter 237

After the Bad Luck Pill took effect, Cheng Feng was immediately covered with a circle of light.

Except for Yi Tianyun, it seems that no one else saw this light.

"I agree with Minister Cheng. It may be that Zheng Wu's sword was faulty from the beginning. What do you think, Mansion Lord Yi?" Nan Fengyun said challengingly.

"I have no problem with whatever you're scheming." Yi Tianyun said indifferently.

"That is the attitude of the Mansion Lord indeed." Nan Fengyun said as he walked towards the arena.

As he walked towards the arena, suddenly Minister Cheng tumbled towards him and hit Man Fengyun's back as they both fell down.

In their fall, their hands and legs become intertwined, making the end result to be very intimate!

Many people were covering their faces in shame for seeing a high ranking officer acting like this.

"No, this is an accident!" Cheng Feng said as he immediately stood up.

Nan Fengyun also stood up at almost the same time, and they quickly tumbled again for the second time.

This time, Cheng Feng and Nan Fengyun fell directly on top of each other while their mouths were pressed against each other!

Yu Shiqian immediately covered her eyes and Zhao Yu's eyes. She didn't want Zhao Yu to see a man kissing another man!

Many people also did the same as they didn't want to see Minister Cheng's private moment.

Minister Cheng Feng immediately stood up in anger and pushed Nan Fengyun hard.

He felt ashamed for kissing a man and on top of that seen by every Mansion Lord and their trustee of Heavenly Border Continent!

"This is all an accident! You hear me! None of this should get out! If I hear any of this, I will be your personal enemy!" Minister Cheng said in anger.

"Now, bring me a glass of water!" Minister Cheng said as he ordered his guard.

As he drank his water, Minister Cheng coughed.

It seemed that he drank too fast!

"Son of a bitch! What kind of water is this! Why am I coughing after drinking this shit!" Minister Cheng said as he threw the glass away.

As he threw the glass, Minister Cheng wobbled and he fell on the guard who stood next to him.

Weird things happened one after another, the sword that the guard was handling easily penetrated Minister Cheng's body!

His physique wasn't weak. In fact, he had the strongest defensive physique among Netherworld Empire's personnel, but the guard's sword was at least a lower grade soul tool rank, so the sword could do a lot of damage if the target wasn't prepared.

Cheng Feng screamed in pain.

The guards panicked as they never encountered this kind of accident.

Furthermore, the guards were afraid that they would be the main target of his wrath!

Cheng Feng began to stand and tried to pull the sword out of his body, he refused all the help that his guard was offering and ordered them to stay away from him.

"I can handle this myself! Don't get near me! Stay away!" He said in frustration.

He pulled out the sword smoothly from his body and immediately closed up his wound.

With his cultivation, it was easy to stop bleeding.

The one thing that he hated the most was the shame he got from all this.

How could a minister of the Netherworld Empire act this shameful!

Cheng Feng immediately took a Medicinal Pill from his storage ring without checking it first and immediately swallowed the pills.

After a few seconds, he was vomiting black blood!

That was the effect of poison, it seemed that he mistakenly took poison as a medicinal pill!

With his cultivation ability, he quickly suppressed the flow of poison in his body and took the real medicinal pills and antidote for his own poison.

With his life no longer in critical condition, he was pale and weak from the constant accident.

Although he was not weak, he was still affected by all this continuous bad luck.

As he walked toward the stair to rest, Cheng Feng once again found himself humbled by the stairs.

That was because he was still dizzy and unstable from the blood loss earlier.

He immediately hit the gift that was given to him earlier at the bottom of the stairs.

The bright long sword was already waiting for him there, as he hit the gift basket, the High-Grade Soul Tool with 5th Grade Divine Rune on it cut through his back, almost lopping off his arms!

Yi Tianyun, on the side, had a cold sweat on his face.

The Bad Luck Divine Pill was truly divine!

From the look of it, Cheng Feng could die at any minute now!

Yi Tianyun couldn't wait to see what he got if Cheng Feng really died after all this!

Chapter 238

Nan Fengyun on the side was a little bit nervous, as that was his sword which cut through the Minister of the Netherworld Empire's back!

If Minister Cheng wanted it, he could be facing some consequences.

Fortunately, Cheng Feng had a harder life before he became a minister.

So, he didn't hold this against anyone.

He immediately took out the long sword from his back and then quickly consumed a medicinal pill to restore his blood volume as he had already lost so much blood.

But this series of bad luck really unnerved him so much that he decided to meditate and recover on the spot!

'DING'

'Bad Luck Divine Pills effect is over.'

At the same time as the notification was sounded, the ring of light around Cheng Feng faded.

Too bad!

Yi Tianyun thought to himself, if the effect lasted more than 5 minutes, Cheng Feng might be dead!

As he didn't seem to encounter any more bad luck, Cheng Feng immediately walked slowly and carefully towards the stair and into the building.

He didn't let anyone come near his proximity.

He even gave the sword that cut his back to one of his guards!

He immediately shouted from the upper stairs, "No one speaks about what happened here! Ever! Now, everyone could take a break and rest. The guards will escort you to your designated room. You will stay here for a few days, and the Netherworld Empire will try our best to accommodate your needs!"

Everyone looked around in confusion as they didn't know that they had to stay there for a couple of days.

Nan Fengyun however, looking at the sword he gifted to Minister Cheng was now in the hands of a mere guard.

Cheng Feng quickly retreated to his private chamber after his little speech, leaving the guards to accommodate everyone else.

Before leaving towards his room, Nan Fengyun glanced at Yi Tianyun and looked at him with powerful killing intent.

He wanted to hurt Yi Tianyun really badly, but now wasn't the time!

A room was also arranged for Yi Tianyun in the building, but it seemed that Heaven's Top Mansion was treated differently as other factions.

They didn't get a VIP room.

Moreover the room that they occupied was a little too small for their needs.

"Grandfather! They are clearly discriminating against us! We don't get the same treatment as the other factions! How can they do this to us!" Mu Xian'er said furiously.

This frustration didn't only happen in My Xian'er mind.

The Great Elder also thought things in here weren't fair. But there was nothing that he could do to make demands toward the Netherworld Empire.

"It is clearly not a good thing to attend this dinner. They make fun of us and even demand tribute! But still, they put us in the normal rooms whereas others get the VIP treatment." The Great Elder said while sighing heavily.

"It is okay! We don't need their recognition! We are here to simply observe the opponent's ability. After we know what they're planning, we can devise a countermeasure." Yi Tianyun said indifferently.

"Don't do anything reckless, Mansion Lord Yi. We aren't strong enough to hold back the Netherworld Empire just yet!" The Great Elder said worriedly.

"Relax, I wouldn't do anything that would cause harm to anyone around me. If I do anything, that will be after some thinking." Yi Tianyun said while smiling genuinely towards the Great Elder.

"They thought that we have allies somewhere hiding, they don't believe that the death of the shadow guards was my doing!" Yi Tianyun said while smiling.

Chapter 239

The Netherworld Empire didn't choose to destroy the Heaven's Top Mansion immediately because they still didn't know who was backing the Heaven's Top Mansion.

The best thing that they could do was to recruit Heaven's Top Mansion into their rank.

The second elder's rebellion was also a part of their plan, as it would scrape off Heaven's Top Mansion's forces afterward.

The only thing which didn't go as planned was that the Shadow's Guards that were sent to help the second elder were easily killed!

At the moment, Yi Tianyun was preparing to go out of the room for a little while, he let the Great Elder know that he would be going out for a little while.

The Great Elder quickly nodded his head and didn't ask any question after that.

As he opened the door to go outside, a guard immediately stopped him.

They said that it already passed the curfew given so that they have to remain inside the room until morning.

Yi Tianyun sighed as it seemed that the treatment here wasn't really great, it was like they didn't even see Heaven's Top Mansion as a guest in this place.

Once he returned back to his room, the Great Elder and Mu Xian'er expressed their frustration.

Yi Tianyun only sighed again and said that it was okay, he will just go from the window instead.

Yi Tianyun quickly jumped out of the window into the tile on the roof.

The Great Elder and Mu Xian'er were a little bit surprised, but they didn't do anything as they trusted Yi Tianyun wouldn't do anything to endanger their lives.

On the roof, Yi Tianyun quickly used his stealth ability and was completely hidden in the night.

He saw that many guards were patrolling the place but they didn't see Yi Tianyun even though Yi Tianyun was only a few feet away from them.

He quickly leaped towards the main building where Cheng Feng resided.

He wanted to see what Cheng Feng was planning for them right now, he already decided that if Cheng Feng was planning something bad for Heaven's Top Mansion, Yi Tianyun would take immediate action.

As he leaped towards Cheng Feng's residence, he heard a yell from one of the rooms near him.

"That son of a bitch! I didn't expect him to be a Mansion Lord! If it's not because of Minister Cheng's unfortunate event, I would have already killed him on the stage!" Nan Fengyun shouted.

Yi Tianyun only rolled his eyes hearing Nan Fengyun's childish tantrum and quickly headed to Cheng Feng's residence.

At the same time, as he left, Nan Fengyun was being consoled by one of his elders.

"Lord Nan, we can't do anything right now, and he is also the Guest Elder of Star Pavilion. He got that title after winning the Star Pavilion Divine Rune tournament earlier." The elder said honestly.

"So young, yet he already reached the 4th Grade Divine Rune Master! No wonder he already became a Mansion Lord at such a young age! It is a shame that he would be dead after leaving this place." Nan Fengyun said while laughing evilly.

Yi Tianyun soon quickly arrived at the depths of the Palace, there were not so many guards in there compared to outside.

"This should be the place!" Yi Tianyun said as he began to sneakily search for Cheng Feng's room.

As Yi Tianyun searches, he suddenly hears someone shout.

"I told you to not get close to me! I will throw the paper to you, just wait there!" it was Cheng Feng's voice!

Yi Tianyun didn't expect that Cheng Feng became this paranoid after experiencing the Bad Luck Divine Pill firsthand.

Yi Tianyun quickly used his Hundred Transformation Mask and used a black cloth to cover his face, and he immediately hid near the windows and observed Cheng Feng from there.

"Is this all the information that you collected? This is all useless! Fuck! Can't you do your job thoroughly you useless piece of shit! You can't even find anything good from that shitty Heaven's Top Mansion!" Cheng Feng said rudely to his shadow guard.

"I can't find anything about their expert, it is like he didn't exist at all! The only thing I know for sure is that their Mansion Lord has already lost his cultivation!" The shadow guard said in frustration.

"If there is no expert how can they kill that many of my shadow guards easily! I cultivated them thoroughly! There is no way a crippled faction like Heaven's Top Mansion could handle them easily!" Cheng Feng said furiously.

He quickly picked up a chair near him and threw it towards the Shadow Guard.

"Forget it! I will grab the kid that poses as a Mansion Lord myself! I will make him serve under me! Perhaps he would be more useful than your trash! I don't believe that they have an expert that's more powerful than our Netherworld Empire! Even if they have a dragon, I will serve it on a silver platter to the emperor!" Cheng Feng said furiously.

Chapter 240

Yi Tianyun couldn't believe a large faction like the Netherworld Empire would do something like that to make sure their plan succeeded.

As he listened more to their conversation, the Shadow Guard was getting impatient, he asked Cheng Feng, couldn't they just kill them instead of doing something like this.

Cheng Feng suddenly became angry after hearing the Shadow Guard's words.

"Did you hear what you just said? Don't you know that we need all the resources we can get our hands on? Even though Heaven's Top Mansion is weak, we couldn't just dispose of them like that! We need the Xuan Tian Divine Art! And we also need whoever it is back then! We need all for the war against the Heavenly Dragon Empire! The Spirit race's rebellion is not sorted either, making it harder for us to focus on one problem each time!" Cheng Feng said in anger.

"What if they resist complying?" The Shadow Guard said in a hurry.

"Then we kill them! We don't need anything that will not see the future the same as ours!" Cheng Feng said coldly.

"If you say so, I will go capture some of them!" The Shadow Guard said hurriedly as he faded into the shadow.

Yi Tianyun quickly followed this Shadow Guard and quickly killed him as he arrived somewhere remote.

'DING'

'Successfully kill a Shadow Guard!'

'Reward: 250.000 Exp, 3.200 Crazy Points, 50 Sin Points, Shadow Step Martial Art.'

Yi Tianyun quickly stripped the Shadow Guard he killed immediately and used the Shadow Guard's clothes to impersonate him. He immediately used the Shadow Step to go back to Cheng Feng's place.

As he entered Cheng Feng's room, Cheng Feng immediately noticed him and asked him why he returned immediately after leaving.

Yi Tianyun was forced to improvise as he didn't expect Cheng Feng to immediately notice him like that.

He observed Cheng Feng with Appraisal Eye to know the extent of Cheng Feng's power.

'Name: Cheng Feng'

'Cultivation: 5th Level Core Transformation'

'Combat Power: 1.900.000'

'Martial Arts: Shaking the Heaven's Palm, Golden Body Secret Art'

'Weakness: Wound on the left arm'

Yi Tianyun was a little bit shocked to see Cheng Feng's status, even though he didn't use any equipment, his combat power was already that high!

Cheng Feng couldn't be compared to any of his previous enemies!

For the weakness, it seems that the Bad Luck Pill earlier made one for Yi Tianyun now, if that was not the case, Cheng Feng might not have any weakness!

Golden Body Secret Art was a martial art that granted extraordinary defensive power, it could withstand Yi Tianyun's attack for sure!

"What's the matter with you! Why are you just standing there like a twat!" Cheng Feng said, losing his patience.

"My lord! There is still one important matter that I forgot to tell you earlier!" Yi Tianyun said as he lowered his head to show respect.

"What is it? Just spit it out!" Cheng Feng said impatiently.

"Yes, my lord!" Yi Tianyun said as he took out a piece of paper from his pocket and walked slowly toward Cheng Feng.

"Stop right there! That is close enough! Just throw it to me from there!" Cheng Feng said as Yi Tianyun got closer to him.

Yi Tianyun was a little bit ticked by Cheng Feng's paranoia, it seemed that the Bad Luck Pill earlier only hindered his plan to attack right now!

In desperation, Yi Tianyun quickly tossed the piece of paper toward Cheng Feng and as the Paper landed on Cheng Feng's hand, he quickly readied himself to attack with his most powerful attack!

Chapter 241

Yi Tianyun quickly activated all power-enhancing moves he had.

He activated the X8 damage on his crazy mode, and his power exploded to 3.9 million!

He quickly took out the Frost Fist and then immediately froze Cheng Feng in place.

He knew that the Frost Fist's effect wouldn't last long, so he quickly took out the Blood Dragon's Skeleton Blade to finish Cheng Feng in one swing!

As Yi Tianyun's blade reached Cheng Feng's chest, the freezing effect broke!

Cheng Feng immediately covered his body with a golden aura, this aura was the defensive aura which was harder than metal.

It showed resistance against Yi Tianyun's blade!

But with Yi Tianyun's heightened offensive power, he was able to inflict an injury on Cheng Feng's chest!

But it was not enough to kill him.

Yi Tianyun quickly tried to attack Cheng Feng one more time, and this time, with Cheng Feng's aura already covering him completely, Yi Tianyun's blade was slammed into a metal wall!

The sound of metal clashes was immediately heard as Yi Tianyun's blade hit Cheng Feng's body.

Yi Tianyun didn't stop!

He kept stabbing Cheng Feng's body to end his life.

After some time, Yi Tianyun activated the effect of the Blood Dragon's Skeleton Blade and then a blood dragon immediately rushed forward from the blade and pierced Cheng Feng's body.

Seeing that his opponent has the capability of piercing his defense, Cheng Feng immediately burned his own Blood Essence!

His power and speed increased considerably but he decided not to attack!

Yi Tianyun investigated Cheng Feng's sudden burst of power and saw that his combat power had already risen to 3.450.000!

Seeing this power difference, Yi Tianyun immediately changed his strategy.

Yi Tianyun immediately smashed Cheng Feng up, so that he couldn't dodge his attack in the air.

Yi Tianyun quickly used the power of Blood Dragon's Skeleton Blade one more time and then cut Cheng Feng's arm!

Cheng Feng immediately escaped Yi Tianyun's flurry of attacks and then hid behind the wall.

If his defensive ability wasn't strong enough, Cheng Feng would've died by now!

Cheng Feng quickly stopped the bleeding on his arm and then consumed a medicinal pill to recover.

But, he didn't have much time as Yi Tianyun immediately followed him and attacked him relentlessly!

"Impudent bastard!" Cheng Feng said frustratingly.

He immediately pulls out a jade pendant and immediately crushed it.

In the next moment, the emperor's shadow appeared!

When Yi Tianyun assessed its power with his Appraisal Eye, the Shadow was at Core Transformation Peak Stage and had 6.5 million Combat Power!

This is only the base power!

The shadows definitely could exert much more power when attacking!

But with this amount of power, Yi Tianyun knew that shadow wouldn't last long!

"Netherworld Empire's Great Emperor!" Yi Tianyun said as he was unsure that he could withstand an attack from this shadow.

As he prepared himself from the attack of the shadow, the shadow immediately attacked!

The shadow immediately attacked Yi Tianyun with a powerful shockwave from his palm covering the entire hall!

With Yi Tianyun had nowhere to hide from this attack, he had no choice but to block it!

This attack was like a giant wall, separating him from killing Cheng Feng!

Chapter 242

The Netherworld Divine Palm was one of the techniques which were used by the Emperor of the Netherworld Empire!

It had a terrifying destructive power of more than 7 Million combat power!

That was only the effect of a shadow.

The real Core Condensation peak stage would have more terrifying power than this for sure!

"You have to die here, kid! I won't let you live!" Cheng Feng said confidently.

Yi Tianyun quickly disappeared from Cheng Feng's sight, completely erasing his presence.

At the same time, the Netherworld Divine Palm struck at Yi Tianyun's previous location!

Destroying the wall to Cheng Feng's office and also alerting the guard about the fight!

"Son of a bitch! I will believe that you are dead once I see your dead body! Now, come out, come out wherever you are!" Cheng Feng said tauntingly.

The Netherworld Emperor's shadow soon faded and disappeared, while Cheng Feng was still looking at the place where the Netherworld Divine Palm strikes.

When the dust from the attack dissipated, a scarlet-colored blade suddenly pierced through his chest!

"What? How did you get behind me?" Cheng Feng said in disbelief.

"Dead people don't need to know a secret of the living!" Yi Tianyun said coldly as he continued to drive the sword to the side to make the injuries fatal!

"I will die of my own accord!" Cheng Feng said while smiling at Yi Tianyun and shattering another Jade Pendant!

The Netherworld Emperor's Shadow once again materialized out of thin air and immediately attacked Yi Tianyun with the Netherworld Divine Palm.

Yi Tianyun's face quickly changed, earlier he could dodge the attack by simple teleporting behind Cheng Feng.

Now, the Teleport ability has entered cooldown for 10 minutes, he couldn't use it to escape the attack.

"Damn it!" Yi Tianyun said loud enough for Cheng Feng to hear.

Cheng Feng grinned seeing his opponent was clearly frustrated that he had two of the Netherworld Jade Pendant!

He would surely win this time!

The Netherworld Divine Palm hit Yi Tianyun directly, causing an explosion as it went through.

However, after the explosion dissipated, Cheng Feng was shocked to see Yi Tianyun was unscathed in front of him.

Cheng Feng saw that Yi Tianyun had a glimmering black cloak on his hands.

That was the Shadow Cloak which could completely block out any damage for five seconds!

The grade of the cloak wasn't that high but its effect was godly!

Meanwhile, Cheng Feng still stared at Yi Tianyun with surprised eyes, he didn't expect Yi Tianyun to be able to hold off the Netherworld Divine Palm that easily!

But Yi Tianyun had another predicament coming, the Cloak effect only lasted for 5 seconds, while the Netherworld Emperor's Shadow could last 10 seconds!

Cheng Feng, who has become desperate, kept attacking Yi Tianyun with Netherworld Divine Palm endlessly!

At the 5 seconds count, a notification saying that the immunity effect of the Shadow Cloak has ended was heard, but the barrage of palm strikes hasn't stopped.

Yi Tianyun quickly gritted his teeth and activated the Dragon God Bloodline and Xuan Tian Divine Art!

He chose to receive the attack head-on!

He didn't have any cheat escaping ability left which he could use to stop the attack!

Chapter 243

Yi Tianyun activated his strongest defensive ability to hold back the Netherworld Divine Palm!

As the Palm connected, he was thrown and slammed to the wall!

He groaned as he felt the damage from this one.

But, in reality, he forgot how the damage felt, he always remained unscathed in every fight!

Sure, he did receive some damage when he took a direct hit from the Netherworld Divine Palm, sure but, he didn't receive that much damage honestly.

After the last Netherworld Divine Palm, the Netherworld Emperor's Shadow finally faded and disappeared.

Yi Tianyun quickly stood back up and checked his injuries, once he was satisfied that he didn't suffer any life-threatening injuries, he started to walk towards Cheng Feng.

"This is Xuan Tian Divine Art! You are that man from Heaven's Top Mansion!" Cheng Feng said nervously.

He immediately recognized the Divine Art as soon as Yi Tianyun used it, it was one of the most beautiful Divine Art he has ever seen!

If it was not for this Divine Art, the Netherworld Empire would've already destroyed Heaven's Top Mansion a long time ago!

"You are right! I am from Heaven's Top Mansion." Yi Tianyun said while taking off the Hundred Transformation Mask.

"You want to imprison our man? What do you think now?" Yi Tianyun said tauntingly.

"It's you!" Cheng Feng said surprisingly.

He never expected a young man like Yi Tianyun would outdo him like this, he instantly realized that Yi Tianyun was the one behind all the weird things that happened lately, but it was all too late!

Yi Tianyun drove the Blood Dragon's Skeleton Blade into Cheng Feng's Heart!

Killing him immediately!

'DING'

'Successfully kills Cheng Feng of the Netherworld Empire!'

'Reward: 640.000 Exp, 4.500 Crazy Points, 200 Sin Points, Golden Body Secret Art, Netherworld Jade Talisman, X20 Exp Card, Spirit Race Prison Key.'

'DING'

'Congratulation to Host, successfully killing an Elite Mob.'

'Reward: 1x Free Spin on Enhanced Lottery Roulette, 1 Free Level Up.'

'DING'

'Congratulation to Host, successfully breakthrough to Spirit Core Peak Stage.'

Yi Tianyun was shocked to see all the rewards that he got for killing Cheng Feng, but he also wanted to punch the system for giving him a free level up while he only needed a couple of millions to level up anyway.

"Why does it always end up like this!" But, Cheng Feng sure gave a nice reward, even though he never tried to attack Yi Tianyun himself and didn't even have a weapon, but he surely gave many rare rewards!

Yi Tianyun quickly took off the Storage Ring in Cheng Feng's finger and fled off the scene.

He didn't want to fight with the guard either.

"My Lord! What happens here?" The Guards said as they saw the destruction in Cheng Feng's private room.

They quickly searched around for Cheng Feng and finally found Cheng Feng was already lifeless not far from the destroyed room.

They looked at Cheng Feng's body in horror.

They needed to capture the man responsible for doing something like this!

They quickly issued a search order for the entire building, and that also included the guest room!

Yi Tianyun knew that if he didn't get back to his room in time, Heaven's Top Mansion would also get in trouble.

He quickly leaped through the roof and stopped on one of the rooms to catch his breath.

As soon as he entered the room, a tender voice quickly asked who was coming to that room in the middle of the night.

Yi Tianyun looked at the source of the voice and saw that a young woman was pointing a sword at him, it was none other than Yu Shiqian!

It seemed that the room Yi Tianyun stumbled upon was Yu Shiqian's room!

Chapter 244

"Miss Yu, I am very sorry to intrude at this time of night. but, can you let me stay here for a little while?" Yi Tianyun said while smiling lightly to Yu Shiqian.

Yi Tianyun didn't have any other method to escape the guard for a while as he was a little bit exhausted from the earlier fight, and some of his skills were still in cooldown.

"I will let you wait here, but who are you?" Yu Shiqian said wonderingly.

She had this familiar vibe from Yi Tianyun, but she didn't know who he was.

As Yi Tianyun wanted to reveal himself to Yu Shiqian a knock was sounded from the door.

Yi Tianyun swiftly gagged her mouth from screaming or revealing his whereabouts.

"Miss Yu, please don't let them know that I am in your room. I only want to stay for a little while, I will leave as soon as I can." Yi Tianyun said honestly to Yu Shiqian.

Yu Shiqian nodded her head, and Yi Tianyun immediately let her go.

"Who are you? And what did you do outside?" Yu Shiqian asked as she became curious as to what Yi Tianyun was doing.

"You don't need to know at this moment, you will know about it soon enough." Yi Tianyun said casually.

At the same time, a knock on the door sounded once again.

Yi Tianyun quickly hid behind the chair near the windows, while Yu Shiqian quickly answered the door.

Once she opened the door, Yu Shiqian was immediately greeted by the guards.

She immediately asked why the guards came to her room at this time of night.

"We are very sorry for the inconvenience Miss You, but we are required to search your room." The guards said steadily.

"In the middle of the night? what is this all about?" Yu Shiqian said with a frown on her face.

"This is a necessary action, Miss Yu. Don't blame us if we have to use force to search your room." The Guard said as he became anxious since Yu Shiqian kept refusing to let them search her room.

"No, you must let me know what your purpose is first!" Yu Shiqian said stubbornly.

The guards had enough of You Shiqian's resistance and knocked the door open to let themselves in.

"You guys are really doing things the wrong way! I will let my Mansion Lord know of your behavior!" Yu Shiqian said in rage.

But she was a little bit relieved to see that the man from earlier was already gone.

At the same time, the Great Elder and Mu Xian'er were having quite a hard time.

"What will we do, Grandpa! We can't let them know that Mansion Lord Yi isn't here!" Mu Xian'er said worriedly.

"All we can do is delay them until the Mansion Lord returns. We must believe that the Mansion Lord will come back as soon as possible." The Great Elder said as he too was nervous about this.

Without warning, the Guards broke the door and immediately barged in.

"Why didn't you let us in, or even open the door? Where is your Mansion Lord?" the Guards asked hurriedly.

"Our Mansion Lord is…." The Great Elder said as he didn't know what to say.

"Is there anything you need? I just wanna sleep! Why would you keep making noises!" Yi Tianyun said with a slightly annoyed face.

"No, there is nothing that you need to know about. We only need to see if you are in your room or not!" The Guard said disrespectfully.

After confirming everyone on Heaven's Top Mansion was in the room, the guards quickly left.

Yi Tianyun was relieved that he came in time, he was lucky enough that teleport was off its cooldown at the same time that the guards broke into You Shiqian's room.

Chapter 245

When the guards already left the room, the Great Elder couldn't hide his curiosity.

He immediately asked Yi Tianyun as to when and how he came back to his room in such an instant way.

Yi Tianyun immediately answered casually, he didn't reveal his teleporting ability but he explained it so convincingly that the Great Elder didn't question his answer.

"What did you just do? The guards are all on edge." The Great Elder asked wonderingly.

"I would say you will notice what happened as soon as tomorrow morning. It is better for you to know at the same time as others." Yi Tianyun said casually.

"Now, I will rest a little bit. if there is any problem, just wake me up immediately." Yi Tianyun said as he walked towards his bed.

When Yi Tianyun sat near his bed, he immediately meditated. He now had the Spirit Core Stage Level Up card on his hands and he surely wanted to use it now.

'DING'

'Successfully used a level up card!'

'DING'

'Congratulation to the Host successfully breakthrough to 1st Level Core Transformation Stage!'

Yi Tianyun felt a rush of power in an instant, he immediately knew instinctively that now he could fly with his own power!

The Phoenix Wing would tremendously improve at this point!

He immediately checked his status and checked his current combat power. He was surprised to see that his combat power rose to 800.000!

With the Crazy Mode x8 it would be 6.400.000!

The Crazy Mode would be a game-changer for sure!

That was without equipping his weapon and activating the buff from his other ability, if push came to shove, his combat power would be roughly at 8 to 9 million!

After such a surprising revelation, he decided to open the level 40 gift pack. The gift pack has given him many good things every time.

'DING'

'Successfully opened Level 40 Gift Pack!'

'Get x30 Exp Card, x5 Mastery Card, x5 Crazy Points Card, x2 Sin Points Card, Level 50 Gift Pack.'

'Successfully learn Pet Capture Basic Level Proficiency!'

Yi Tianyun was happy to see that he had a lot of enhancing cards now and also, he now had the ability to tame pets! He could try to tame any beast that he wanted now without finding any special circumstance.

"It never disappoints me, really! This gift pack always gives me what I currently need the most!" Yi Tianyun said excitedly.

After opening the Gift Pack, he felt that he was a bit lucky so he immediately opened the enhanced lottery roulette and activated his Luck Aura.

He immediately spun the wheel and soon enough the pointer stopped on the Weapon section.

This was the first time that he got a weapon from Enhanced Lottery Roulette, he wondered what he would get.

As he wondered, a Jade Box fell from the roulette, he immediately opened the box and a weapon quickly appeared in front of him.

'High Grade Soul Tool: Cold Ice Divine Bow(Upgradeable)'

'Effect: Releases a frozen arrow that could freeze enemy on impact'

'Special Effect: Consumes 5.000 Crazy Points to enhance the next arrow with 2x Power, 2x Speed, 2x Range'

Yi Tianyun was really excited to see the effect of the bow, with that weapon on his hands, it would cover one of his weaknesses which was having no long-range combat capabilities!

Mu Xian'er and Great Elder were all confused to see Yi Tianyun all excited and even talked to himself. They began to wonder what happened to Yi Tianyun when he went outside.

Chapter 246

Yi Tianyun kept laughing alone, making the Great Elder and Mu Xian'er uncomfortable.

"Grandpa, are you sure there is nothing wrong with the Mansion Lord?" Mu Xian'er asked worriedly.

But the Great Elder only shrugged his shoulders, because he really didn't know anything.

At the same time, Yi Tianyun knew that he was being watched but he didn't care. He had the Cold Ice Divine Bow now!

With that weapon, his next battle surely would be easier than before!

Yi Tianyun immediately checked his status to see how much he had progressed.

Yi Tianyun was shocked to see the required exp to level up, he had to collect 100 million Exp!

There was no way he could level up as fast as he could like before!

He will need to kill 100 cultivators at the same level as Cheng Feng for just 1 level!

He felt helpless about this development, but there was nothing he could do about it. He immediately decided to rest since the next day would be hectic.

In an instant he woke up it was already dawn, the only thing that changed was they were not allowed to leave the room they were currently in.

Netherworld Empire Official still didn't release any statement regarding this matter.

Many Mansion Lords and disciples began to wonder what really was happening, but they never got an honest answer from the guards.

On the third day, they were all summoned to the courtyard but they were all surprised to see that another minister was attending instead of Cheng Feng.

The new minister didn't conceal his aura and everyone knew instantly that he was more powerful than Cheng Feng.

"I know that everyone has been distressed for a few days because of our behavior. The truth is we have some serious matter at hand, Minister Cheng Feng was killed 2 days ago. We still don't have any clue as to who the perpetrator was. Therefore, the inconvenience for the earlier 2 days was inevitable." Minister Lin Hao said solemnly.

Everyone immediately felt a sudden chill coming from Minister Lin Hao, everyone immediately knew that Minister Cheng Feng's death was a blow to Minister Lin Hao.

The Great Elder, Mu Xian'er and Yu Shiqian, however, felt the chill for a completely different reason.

They all had a guess as to who was the killer of Minister Cheng Feng, with the exception that Yu Shiqian didn't know the true identity of the killer.

Great Elder and Yu Shiqian were all shocked that Yi Tianyun could kill someone at Cheng Feng's caliber, the two of them began to wonder just how powerful Yi Tianyun really was.

But they soon realized that they needed to cover this up, this matter shouldn't be known to others!

Heaven's Top Mansion safety was riding on this information.

Nan Fengyun's face was full of displeasure, he went out of his way to build a good relationship with Minister Cheng Feng, and now it didn't matter any longer.

The promise made by Cheng Feng earlier didn't have any value now.

"I don't know if this incident was related to one of you, but I know that most of you are already at a quite high level of cultivation. Therefore one of you may be able to sneak past the guards and commit the killing!" Minister Lin Hao said seriously.

Everyone suddenly froze!

They couldn't help but be afraid that they could be in the Netherworld Empire's torture chamber to get the truth forcefully!

"Rest assured, I will not do anything to you. I don't see any good reason for you to kill Cheng Feng as he has little to no interaction with you until the day he invites you here." Minister Lin Hao said.

Chapter 247

No one felt safe from the Netherworld Empire.

They knew that sooner or later the Netherworld Empire would investigate them regarding that matter.

"I am a bit different from Minister Cheng Feng, I prefer to discuss this matter straight to the point. So, without further ado, I announce the Netherworld Empire's intention to invite all of you to join us!" Minister Lin Hao said pridefully.

"As long as you join us, you will get the benefit of abundant resources, a Spiritual Energy zone for your cultivation, and various Martial Arts for you to learn! We treat everyone in the Netherworld Empire equally, there is no need to be afraid of minorities or such things!" Minister Lin Hao said dismissively.

This was a bold move by the Netherworld Empire!

That way, they could control the Heavenly Border Continent easily.

They want to wage war with the Heavenly Dragon Empire which at this moment has already controlled the Earthly Border Continent.

"If you choose to join us, we will provide all the benefits you would like to have but in exchange, we would like you to pledge your allegiance to us. You will have to show us some extent of loyalty! We will give you some mission in manageable time, and we hope for you to finish it in a certain period, but don't worry. We will not give you a mission beyond your capabilities." Minister Lin Hao said solemnly.

"We will not force you to join us if you decide to do so." Minister Lin Hao said, adding new info.

Minister Lin Hao then watched the Mansion Lord of various factions start to discuss the possibilities with their confidant.

He knew that the offer would surely benefit them greatly!

"We will join the Netherworld Empire!" Nan Fengyun said, making the Divine Rune Mansion be the first to join the Netherworld Empire in the Heavenly Border Continent.

Minister Lin Hao immediately nodded his head in confirmation.

Divine Rune Mansion's willingness to accept the offer created a chain of acceptance from other Mansion Lords.

They were afraid if they chose not to join the Netherworld Empire, they could get some negative feedback from the Netherworld Empire.

"Thank you very much for providing us with this offer, My lord! But we from the White Lotus Mansion would like to decline the offer as we would like to become independent." White Lotus Mansion Lord said solemnly.

Minister Lin Hao looked at her with disdain but then quickly changed the look on his face with a light smile.

"We respect your decision, Mansion Lord. We will not force you." Minister Lin Hao said warmly.

Soon after, several other Factions also declared that they would be declining the offer, including Star Pavilion.

Star Pavilion didn't want to be burdened with being another faction's subsidiary.

They already had a strong backer for their Pavilion, there was no need to join another faction to get resources or anything alike.

At the same time, the Great Elder also asked Yi Tianyun as to whether to join or not, as they still didn't give the proper answer for the Netherworld Empire.

The Great Elder felt unwilling to join the Netherworld Empire, but it all came down to Yi Tianyun as his Mansion Lord.

If Yi Tianyun chose to join, then he would accept it heartfully.

Yi Tianyun didn't answer the Great Elder's question, but instead immediately gave the word to Minister Lin Hao.

"Thank you very much, Minister Lin Hao. But we will also decline the offer." Yi Tianyun said confidently.

Yi Tianyun's refusal left everyone surprised, they were ogling at Yi Tianyun like he was some kind of mad man!

Heaven's Top Mansion could have the resource that they want from the Netherworld Empire, but instead, they still declined.

Besides, with Heaven's Top Mansion's reputation now in ruins, they should have accepted the offer!

Chapter 248

Yi Tianyun knew that the Netherworld Empire would only enslave them if they chose to join and would be forced to give up the Xuan Tian Divine Art for the sake of the empire!

"Are you speaking on behalf of Heaven's Top Mansion?" Minister Lin Hao said coldly.

"Yes, I am the Mansion Lord of Heaven's Top Mansion!" Yi Tianyun said casually.

"Are you already a Mansion Lord at such a young age? Well, this would be your loss, not ours!" Minister Lin Hao said indifferently.

Yi Tianyun nodded to Minister Lin Hao as he didn't care what the Minister was thinking at the moment.

"As that is the final faction, if you choose to decline the offer, you are free to go! For those who accepted the offer, you would have to stay for a few more days for briefing." Minister Lin Hao said coldly.

White Lotus Mansion and other factions which declined the offer prepared to return to their respective factions, Yi Tianyun followed suit behind them all.

As he turned around, Minister Lin Hao suddenly stopped at Heaven's Top Mansion.

White Lotus Mansion's Mansion Lord and Star Pavilion's Pavilion Lord Li were looking at Yi Tianyun pitifully.

They hated to see a big faction like the Netherworld Empire abuse their power like this, but sadly, they couldn't save Yi Tianyun.

"This is really sad! A bright young man like him would be eaten alive inside the Netherworld Empire." Pavilion Lord Li said while shaking his head.

"Yes, it is painful to watch!" Elder Yun said while also shaking his head.

When You Shiqian left with the White Lotus Mansion, she couldn't help but look at Yi Tianyun with a sad expression.

She didn't know who Yi Tianyun was, but she couldn't help but have this familiar feeling every time she looked at Yi Tianyun.

She couldn't help but think that she had a hallucination about Yi Tianyun somewhere.

"Grandpa, what would happen to us?" Mu Xian'er said as she was afraid of what the Netherworld Empire would do.

"I don't know, Xian'er. We should trust that the Mansion Lord will protect us from harm!" The Great Elder said comfortingly.

He knew that things wouldn't be easy for them soon enough, but he still tried to comfort his lovely grandchild!

The Great Elder knew that if Yi Tianyun wasn't there for Heaven's Top Mansion, they would've become the Netherworld Empire's dog from a long time ago!

So, he decided to put his faith in Yi Tianyun!

"It is okay! You will be saved as long as I am here." Yi Tianyun said confidently.

Mu Xian'er looks at Yi Tianyun with a grateful look, she looks at Yi Tianyun with so much respect now.

He was no longer the new disciple that would be her target of pranks, now he was the Great Mansion Lord of Heaven's Top Mansion.

"Heaven's Top Mansion, do you know why I have to make you stay here?" Minister Lin Hao said coldly.

"Well, it probably has something to do with the Xuan Tian Divine Art." Yi Tianyun said casually.

Everyone who stayed was shocked to hear Yi Tianyun's words.

They knew that Xuan Tian Divine Art was a powerful martial art that already reached Heaven Level!

If Yi Tianyun really had this Xuan Tian Divine Art, they understood the urgency of the Netherworld Empire to force it out from a low-level faction like Heaven's Top Mansion.

"You are pretty smart for a boy. Now that you already knew, surrender the Xuan Tian Divine Art immediately or die!" Minister Lin Hao said solemnly.

"What guarantee can you give that we will survive after giving you the Xuan Tian Divine Art? Furthermore, why would I give you something like that for free?" Yi Tianyun said challengingly.

"Then you should die now! I can search the rest of your people one by one with the Soul Searching Technique later anyway!" Minister Lin Hao said coldly.

As he finished speaking, three shadow guards quickly appeared around Yi Tianyun.

"If this is how you want to play things, then it is fine for me." Yi Tianyun said casually.

Chapter 249

The Soul-Searching Technique was a ruthless technique that searched for a certain memory of the target and left them incapacitated, crazy, autistic or even dead!

The Great Elder's complexion suddenly changed after hearing the Minister would use this technique!

Yi Tianyun however, didn't care about this technique.

The opponent wouldn't be using this technique for them anyway!

"Let's stop here for a moment, I will give you what you want!" Yi Tianyun said casually.

"Are you stupid? You refused the offer to become part of the Netherworld Empire before, and now, you want to give in? How bold can you be!" Nan Fengyun said while laughing.

The Mansion Lord who has already joined the Netherworld Empire also joined Nan Fengyun in laughter as they found Yi Tianyun was easily giving up.

"It's okay! If you hand Xuan Tian Divine Art to me now, I will spare Heaven's Top Mansion." Minister Lin Hao said with a poker face.

"Okay, here it is!" Yi Tianyun said as he threw a book near Lin Hao's feet.

"Pick it up!" Lin Hao said as he ordered the guard next to him to pick up the book.

"Lord Lin, let me help you!" Nan Fengyun said as he picked up the book and gave it to Minister Lin Hao.

As soon as he received the book, Lin Hao immediately ordered the three Shadow Guards around Yi Tianyun to kill him and the Heaven's Top Mansion representative!

The Shadow Guards immediately rushed over, ready to attack Yi Tianyun.

But it was all for naught as Yi Tianyun quickly kicked them in the stomach one by one as they came close enough, killing them almost instantly.

'DING'

'Successfully killed Shadow Guard!'

'Reward: 260.000 Exp, 3.200 Crazy Points, 50 Sin Points, Shadow Step Martial Art, Shadow Blade.'

'DING'

'Successfully killed Shadow Guard!'

'Reward: . . .'

'DING'

'Successfully killed . . .'

The Mansion Lords were all surprised to see Yi Tianyun easily kill so many Shadow Guards like that.

They all realized that Yi Tianyun was definitely in the higher stage of Spirit Core Cultivation!

"I already saw this coming! Read the book first, you fool!" Yi Tianyun said challengingly.

Lin Hao immediately looked at the book Yi Tianyun threw earlier and immediately enraged and destroyed the books into pieces.

"How dare you play me! I want Xuan Tian Divine Art! Not Basic Boxing!" Lin Hao said furiously.

"Well, it doesn't really matter. You still attacked me regardless, didn't you?" Yi Tianyun said with a bored expression.

Yi Tianyun's words enraged Minister Lin Hao even further.

Seeing that the Minister would be exploding in anger soon, Nan Fengyun quickly offered himself to be the one fighting against Yi Tianyun.

Lin Hao nodded his head in agreement and therefore, every Mansion Lords near Nan Fengyun also joined the battle!

Minister Lin Hao smirked as he thought Yi Tianyun wouldn't survive to fight this many cultivators at once!

The Shadow Guard earlier maybe was too weak for Yi Tianyun but, these Mansion Lords were comparably stronger!

Nan Fengyun and the other Mansion Lords released their aura simultaneously.

Filling the area with intense Core Transformation stage aura.

"This time I will pay you back for killing my disciple!" Nan Fengyun said while smirking evilly.

Yi Tianyun didn't even wait for Nan Fengyun to attack, he immediately flashed over to Nan Fengyun and gave a strong kick to Nan Fengyun's chest!

Nan Fengyun was immediately flung towards the wall and hit it hard!

"Now, where is your payback again?" Yi Tianyun said casually.

His face didn't give out any emotion as Nan Fengyun wasn't even on his radar at all.

The Soul-Searching Technique was a ruthless technique that searched for a certain memory of the target and left them incapacitated, crazy, autistic or even dead!

The Great Elder's complexion suddenly changed after hearing the Minister would use this technique!

Yi Tianyun however, didn't care about this technique.

Nan Fengyun was immediately flung towards the wall and hit it hard!

His face didn't give out any emotion as Nan Fengyun wasn't even on his radar at all.

Chapter 250

'DING'

'Successfully kills Nan Fengyun!'

'Reward: 2.500.000 Exp, 22.000 CPs, 200 SPs, 5.000 Divine Rune MP, Afterimage Step Martial Art, Spirit Breaking Finger Technique, Item Spirit Stroke (High Grade Divine Tool), Tyrant Rune Paper (Rare), Extra Damage Divine Rune (5th Grade Divine Rune).'

Yi Tianyun was happy to see the amount of Exp he got from killing Nan Fengyun.

As he knew that he would need to kill a lot of enemies here, he used the X30 Exp Card and X20 Exp Card in addition to his X8 Exp from his Crazy Mode.

In fact, he also used the X5 Mastery Card and X2 Sin Card.

He would make sure to kill those people to his heart content.

Everyone in the area was shocked to see Yi Tianyun kill Nan Fengyun so easily!

They thought that Yi Tianyun was at Spirit Core Peak Stage Cultivation, but now it seemed that Yi Tianyun was a Core Transformation Cultivator!

Everyone was looking at Yi Tianyun in disbelief, how can a teenage boy achieve this high leveled cultivation?

This was totally unprecedented!

The Great Elder and Mu Xian'er were also shocked to see that their Mansion Lord was that strong.

They prepared to fight as they thought that Yi Tianyun wouldn't be able to save them with those many enemies, but it seemed that they were wrong once again.

Yi Tianyun turned his attention towards the other Mansion Lord in the area and quickly flashed over and killed them with a powerful kick.

'DING'

'Successfully killed Flowing Wind Mansion Lord!'

'Reward: 2.300.000 Exp, 21.000 CPs, 200 SPs, Heavenly Tyrant Palm, Afterimage Sword Technique.'

'DING'

'Successfully killed the Imperial Wind Mansion Lord!'

'Reward: 2.400.000 Exp, 22.000 CPs, 200 SPs, . . .'

Good God!

This power was merely above 5th Layer Core Transformation Stage Cultivation!

The rest of them think.

The rest of the Mansion Lord looked at Yi Tianyun with fear, they would not be able to injure Yi Tianyun as they were considerably weaker than Nan Fengyun!

Many of them immediately thought of running away from Yi Tianyun, they didn't care about Lin Hao anymore, as at that moment, Yi Tianyun was scarier than Lin Hao.

Yi Tianyun sighed and immediately killed those who ran away first.

He will not let any of them go, especially after activating that many boosting cards!

As Yi Tianyun walked away from the Great Elder and Mu Xian'er, the rest of the Mansion Lords thought of using them as a hostage, and therefore immediately rushed toward them.

Seeing so many Mansion Lords rushed towards him and Mu Xian'er, the Great Elder immediately prepared himself to battle!

He was ready to burn his Blood Essence to increase his power to protect My Xian'er and relieved some burden from his Mansion Lord!

"Don't be a fool! Like I'll let you do that!" Yi Tianyun said as he used the Blast Divine Pills to increase his speed to save the Great Elder and Mu Xian'er.

After using the Blast Divine Pill, Yi Tianyun's speed was instantly doubled!

He immediately crossed the field in a blink of an eye and killed the Mansion Lord who was threatening the Great Elder and Mu Xian'er life.

Minister Lin Hao looked at Yi Tianyun with great disbelief in his eyes.

There was no way a 17-year-old boy could have that level of power!

The speed Yi Tianyun showed throughout the fight was even more terrifying, with that kind of power Yi Tianyun could even kill Cheng Feng!

"Are you the one who killed Cheng Feng?" Lin Hao asked as he saw Yi Tianyun was capable of doing that.

"Wow, you guessed it far too late! Yes! Yes, I was! What are you gonna do about it?" Yi Tianyun said challengingly.

Yi Tianyun immediately summoned the Black Dragon and used its giant body to block the exit!

Yi Tianyun immediately ordered the Black Dragon to burn every enemy who ran away immediately.

"There is no need for you to do anything anymore, Minister Lin Hao. You will die here today! And no one else can save you!" Yi Tianyun said coldly.

Chapter 251

The Black Dragon surprised everyone, Mu Xian'er has heard once that a man with a Black Dragon saved Yang Xixue when she was in the sea but she didn't recognize Yi Tianyun when she saw him in the Mansion.

She also thought of the man with a Black Dragon who slaughtered the entire Wang Family, was Yi Tianyun the same person as any of that man?

She began to wonder.

When they were still shocked by the appearance of the Black Dragon, The Black Dragon had already begun attacking anyone trying to escape.

It spouted intense flame from its mouth and clawed anyone close enough!

'DING'

'Successfully killed Flowing Wind Mansion's Deacon!'

'Reward: 690.000 Exp, 1.400 CPs, 50 SPs.'

'DING'

'Successfully . . .'

The Black Dragon kept attacking and killing anyone close enough to the exit, it was highly unfair for those who wished to escape.

The Black Dragon had a thick scale that could nullify most damage, and with the Black Dragon already reaching 6th Layer of Spirit Core Stage, those people who thought of running away wouldn't have any power to deal any damage to it!

Yi Tianyun, on the other hand, kept killing everyone who still believed that they had a shot at catching Yi Tianyun off guard.

They would surely realize that they were mistaken as Yi Tianyun's blade ripped open their stomach or throat!

"You will not see the light of day again!" Lin Hao roared as he crushed the Jade Emblem on his hand.

The Shadow of the Netherworld Empire appeared immediately, making everyone surprised once again.

Many Mansion Lord and Deacon sighed in relief after seeing the Shadow of the Emperor.

They thought with the mighty shadow at their side Yi Tianyun would finally die!

Yi Tianyun looked at the shadow indifferently.

He already guessed that Lin Hao as one of the Netherworld Empire Ministers would have something like this.

The shadow used its primary attack, Netherworld Divine Palm!

It was so huge that it covered the entire place, seeing that they had nowhere to run, the Great Elder and Mu Xian'er quickly ran towards Yi Tianyun while the other Mansion Lord and Deacon begged for Lin Hao to save them.

"Stop begging for mercy, you are a bunch of thrashes anyway!" Lin Hao said coldly.

Lin Hao turned his attention back to Yi Tianyun, he was a little bit conflicted to see Yi Tianyun didn't show any emotion that he wanted to see.

Was Yi Tianyun really that powerful?

Could Yi Tianyun actually block the Netherworld Divine Palm?

That question popped out in Minister Lin Hao's mind.

Yi Tianyun quickly activated the Dragon God Bloodline and Xuan Tian Divine Art immediately, covering his body with a dragon scale and light blue crystal.

In addition to those two abilities, he also activated the Golden Body Secret Art he got from Cheng Feng to enhance his defensive capabilities.

That was his most powerful defense ability for now.

He used that ability instead of teleportation or the Shadow Cloak so that he could protect the Great Elder and Mu Xian'er who were relying on him.

As the Netherworld Divine Palm descended from the sky, Yi Tianyun quickly leaped off to receive the attack head-on!

The attack reached Yi Tianyun faster and suddenly exploded!

After the explosion, everybody was shocked beyond belief!

They saw Yi Tianyun on the ground unscathed!

Lin Hao was pale.

He couldn't believe that Yi Tianyun was capable of blocking the Emperor's strongest attack!

Meanwhile, the Emperor's Shadow repeated his attack.

Seeing that the emperor's shadow wouldn't stop until the duration ran out, Yi Tianyun immediately rushed toward the Emperor's Shadow and quickly punched the shadow as hard as he could.

His action immediately paid off, as the Emperor's Shadow was instantly busted and disappeared!

Chapter 252

While he could destroy the shadow, it didn't mean that Yi Tianyun was more powerful than the Emperor himself!

This shadow didn't have any equipment or anything of the sort.

So, the shadow was far weaker than the actual Emperor!

But that was all Yi Tianyun currently needed to turn the tide!

He knew Lin Hao would be devastated to see the Emperor's Shadow being destroyed that easily!

"How could this happen!" Lin Hao said as he looked at Yi Tianyun with disbelief.

He quickly snapped out of his trance as he saw Yi Tianyun quickly rushing towards him.

Lin Hao quickly pulled out another jade emblem from his storage ring, but Yi Tianyun was far quicker than him.

Yi Tianyun immediately sliced the jade emblem into two with the Sword of Endlessness.

The jade emblem immediately shone bright and then fell to the ground like a piece of crap.

Seeing that he had no other ways to defend himself from Yi Tianyun, Lin Hao immediately took a pill, which would burn his Blood Essence momentarily to achieve a huge boost of fighting power.

He also took out a high-level weapon to fight Yi Tianyun with.

Yi Tianyun used his appraisal eye to see Lin Hao's combat power and his weapon.

He noticed that Lin Hao combat power has risen to 6 million and that the weapon that he held was Heaven Level Weapon!

Lin Hao has achieved such a strong state of power only by eating a medicinal pill!

Yi Tianyun smirked after seeing this information!

With the way he was then, he was more powerful than Lin Hao!

Furthermore, enhancing the combat power like that wouldn't be good for Lin Hao anyway, there will be a side effect of enhancing power like that!

But he shouldn't worry about Lin Hao as he would kill Lin Hao soon anyway.

Lin Hao has put his confidence in his combat power, he already burned his Blood Essence for that, so there was no way Yi Tianyun would be able to defeat him now!

But seeing Yi Tianyun smirking, his confidence quickly took another hit. Was he really capable of defeating Yi Tianyun?

The question constantly haunted him.

Read this novel on the original translation site system .

He quickly shook his head to snap him out of the unnecessary thought and immediately shouted that he would kill Yi Tianyun even if that was the last thing he would do!

Lin Hao ignored the existence of Xuan Tian Divine Art completely, now he only wanted to kill Yi Tianyun!

He didn't need the Divine Arts if he had to die!

Lin Hao quickly rushed towards Yi Tianyun with all his might, releasing a powerful aura in his wake.

Lin Hao released a Mad Dragon Technique that he had, covering his body in an emerald Dragon Scale.

This state was fully similar to Yi Tianyun's Dragon God Bloodline Technique!

He immediately raised his Heaven Grade Weapon to strike Yi Tianyun.

Yi Tianyun also lifted his Sword of Endlessness after activating his Luck Aura and clashed it with Lin Hao's weapon!

Sword of Endlessness immediately turned red as it struck Lin Hao's Weapon.

With the help of Luck Aura and his Prestige Point, the Sword of Endlessness' effect was successfully activated, doubling his combat power once more!

After the Sword of Endlessness' effect activated, Yi Tianyun's combat power increased once more to 12 million!

With that much raw power, Sword of Endlessness shattered Lin Hao's Heaven Grade Weapon, the impact from the attack made its way to Lin Hao's arm, numbing his arm completely!

At the same time, the Sword of Endlessness was also destroyed!

It seemed that it couldn't withstand the amount of raw power within that attack.

"Unfortunately, our weapons couldn't withstand that simple attack! Now, should we fight with our bare hands?" Yi Tianyun said casually to Lin Hao.

Chapter 253

Yi Tianyun knew that all weapons had their own durability, he could also fix almost any weapon up until the High-Grade Soul Tool grade with his Blacksmith Mastery.

But none of it mattered as of right then, every weapon would break from the intensity of his power!

Yi Tianyun immediately turned his attention back to Lin Hao.

He saw that Lin Hao was still shocked by the sword clashes earlier.

Yi Tianyun also noticed that Lin Hao's right hand was limp from the shock of the clashes, it could probably be broken too.

In fact, everyone was shocked beyond belief!

The raw power behind the attack just now was definitely a Core Transformation's power!

Which meant Yi Tianyun had the same level of cultivation as Minister Lin Hao!

Seeing that he couldn't attack Yi Tianyun with his limp hand, Lin Hao immediately crushed another Jade Pendant!

The Shadow of the Netherworld Emperor once again rushed to attack Yi Tianyun.

But Yi Tianyun had enough of that puppetry play, so he immediately rushed over to the shadow and destroyed the shadow before it could attack!

"Do you have no other tricks left?" Yi Tianyun said, visibly annoyed by the repetitive attack of his opponent.

"Stop! Don't come any closer! If you kill me, you will be marked by the Netherworld Empire for sure! If that happens, Heaven's Top Mansion won't stand a chance!" Lin Hao said as he still wanted to live.

"You evil scum always say the same thing as you are in your death's door! I guess it would have been the same for your victim, isn't it? If the one begging mercy right now is me, would you let me go? Stop pretending everything is in your hand when it's clearly not!" Yi Tianyun said coldly.

Seeing that there was no way Yi Tianyun would spare him, he quickly tried his luck on escaping.

He quickly reached out for a flying Divine Rune from Lin Hao's storage ring. That item that Lin Hao had was somewhat the same as his Phoenix Wing.

But it was not as good as the Phoenix's Wing.

"Who says you can leave this place? Didn't I say today is the day you die?" Yi Tianyun said coldly.

Yi Tianyun quickly reached out for his Cold Ice Divine Bow and immediately used the bow's special effect to increase the damage.

As he released the arrow, the arrow flew spectacularly.

As soon as the arrow reached Lin Hao, the arrow pierced through his body like paper and completely froze him!

As Lin Hao was frozen while flying, he was immediately shattered into million pieces as he fell to the ground!

'DING'

'Successfully killed Lin Hao!'

'Reward: 2.800.000 Exp, 16.000 CPs, 300 SPs, 5.000 Divine Rune MPs, Soul Breaking Finger Martial Art, Heaven Holding Divine Art, X10 Exp Card, Divine Talisman, Heaven Holding Giant Sword, Heaven Holding Divine Armor, Heaven Holding Leg Guard.'

'DING'

'Successfully killed an Elite Enemy!'

'Reward: 30.000.000 Exp, 100.000 CPs, X30 Exp Card, 1x Enhanced Lottery Roulette Draw.'

Seeing the notification for killing Lin Hao, Yi Tianyun was very happy!

He already reached halfway for the next level up, plus he got another set of equipment that could replace his previous set!

But he noticed that the Mansion Lord with the cultivation above him wasn't counted as an Elite Enemy.

From the information he had, Lin Hao was at least 6 levels above him.

If he was correct in guessing the system's rule, then the opponent had to be at least 6 levels above him to be considered an Elite Enemy!

He immediately turned his attention to the remaining cultivators in the place.

Those people were the remaining representatives of the faction which joined the Netherworld Empire earlier.

They were among the people who talked shit and kept disregarding Heaven's Top Mansion earlier.

As they begged for mercy from Yi Tianyun, Yi Tianyun didn't feel anything for these men.

"When our position was reversed, and I was the one begging mercy, would you give mercy?" Yi Tianyun said coldly.

Yi Tianyun immediately ordered the Black Dragon to burn everything to the ground!

Chapter 254

"Kill us then! Get it over with! Your Heaven's Top Mansion would be destroyed by the Netherworld Empire anyway!" One of them said while the Black Dragon was burning them to cinders one by one.

"Rest assured, you will be waiting for the rest of the Netherworld Empire in the underworld!" Yi Tianyun said coldly.

Soon enough, they were all dead, burned by the Black Dragon.

Yi Tianyun received a lot of exp for this extermination along with Sin Points and mastery.

Many of them had mastery in blacksmithing, pill refining and divine rune.

So, his Mastery was increased equally.

As soon as he killed all of the enemies, all enhancing cards he used were expiring.

He was glad to have those Exp Cards, it became easier to level up as he activated them.

"Mansion Lord Yi, we already took all the storage rings we could find. We also collected many Soul Tools which are still usable scattered around the place." Mu Xian'er said as she felt somewhat shy to talk to Yi Tianyun.

"Okay, we will get out of here shortly." Yi Tianyun said casually.

The Great Elder soon approached Yi Tianyun to give Yi Tianyun all the Storage Ring that he could find.

Yi Tianyun shook his head and then gave the storage ring back to the Great Elder, "Take it Great Elder, use it for the betterment of Heaven's Top Mansion." Yi Tianyun said solemnly.

"Of course, Lord Yi. I will do as you command!" The Great Elder said while bowing to Yi Tianyun.

The Great Elder was somewhat hopeful, he had a feeling that Heaven's Top Mansion would surely be directed to a better future with Yi Tianyun's leadership.

Yi Tianyun took the storage ring from Lin Hao and said that it was for Heavenly Jade Sect.

The Great Elder nodded in understanding and they soon climbed to the Black Dragon's back to get back to Heaven's Top Mansion.

As they were already up in the air, Yi Tianyun ordered the Black Dragon to burn the place down.

He directed the Black Dragon to return to Heaven's Top Mansion in a roundabout way.

He didn't want the burned castle of the Netherworld Empire to find out it was related to Heaven's Top Mansion.

Yi Tianyun also shot down all the guards that he saw around the place.

He didn't want to have any eyewitness tying him to that incident either.

As he saw that there was no one else who saw him there, he quickly flew away.

The rest of the guards who didn't know anything about the fight earlier were surprised to see fire break out and quickly evacuate from the castle.

With the intensity of the fire, the castle was quickly burned to the ground, leaving nothing behind!

At that time, no one was alive around the vicinity to be blamed for the fire.

The guards couldn't find their lord Lin Hao, panicked.

So, the guards assumed that the Minister of the Netherworld Empire was once again dead!

White Lotus Mansion and Star Pavilion, who still resided in Gathering Dragons City, soon came over to see what happened, as the fire was so fierce that it was visible from the city.

They were surprised to see the place that they visited just a moment ago was nearly burned to the ground!

Li Tianlong, the Lord of Star Pavilion, immediately knew that the fire wasn't any ordinary fire.

It was an advanced level fire that a high leveled blacksmith rarely had.

He couldn't help but think that the one who was behind it was prepared to have a war against the Netherworld Empire!

Mansion Lord Qin of White Lotus Mansion also felt the same way about the situation, she added that the rest of the Mansion Lords that stayed inside the place didn't seem to be able to get out and presumably already died inside the fire.

Li Tianlong looked at the fire with sad eyes.

It was really a sad day to lose such a young genius like Yi Tianyun in the fire!

They both sighed and immediately decided to leave.

They know that soon enough, a strong influence would be coming here, either the one who burns down the place or the Netherworld Empire itself!

Either way, they won't stick around to find out about what happened today.

Chapter 255

At the time the situation on Gathering Dragons City had reached the Netherworld Empire, a man was currently walking back and forth, contemplating the possibility of a war!

But the thing was, he didn't know who waged war in the Netherworld Empire.

He only knew that two of the Netherworld Empire's ministers and the palace at Gathering Dragons City were burned to the ground without a clue of who the perpetrator was.

"Reporting in, Lord Yue! We didn't find any clue at the castle, we couldn't even find an eyewitness. All that we know now is that the flame used to burn the castle was not an ordinary flame." The man said to Lord Yue in cold sweat.

"Go through the investigation one more time! I need the result tomorrow!" Lord Yue said coldly.

Lord Yue immediately released his aura, intimidating the man who reported the current situation to him.

The man immediately said that the Heavenly Dragon Empire or a Spirit Race insurgent might be bold enough to do something like this.

Lord Yue, who was contemplating the possibility, was also thinking the same thing as the man.

"Now that I think about it, it kind of makes sense, I feel that the Spirit Race has something to do with this." Lord Yue said as he kept thinking of any other possibility.

At the same time, Yi Tianyun had sneaked the Great Elder and Mu Xian'er back to Heaven's Top Mansion.

Yi Tianyun didn't trust most of the Heaven's Top Mansion's disciples yet, so they need to lay low and hide from any suspicious eyes.

Yi Tianyun knew that for now, he won't be able to fight head to head against the Netherworld Empire.

He needed to increase the power of both Heaven's Top Mansion and Heavenly Jade Sect to have any chance to fight with the Netherworld Empire.

Yi Tianyun only wondered how strong a Void Spirit Cultivator could be.

He was very sure even without any additional equipment, a Void Spirit Cultivator would easily reach 6 million raw combat power.

After returning to Heaven's Top Mansion, Yi Tianyun quickly observed the situation inside Heaven's Top Mansion.

He knew that most disciples weren't trustworthy enough to be given any of the Mansion's resources.

So, he needed to cut out the roots of the problem first.

While thinking of a plan, the Great Elder immediately asked Yi Tianyun, was he really the one who saved Yang Xixue from the group of pirates once?

Which Yi Tianyun claimed to be true without too much thought.

The Great Elder was kind of confused and then asked the next question of why Yang Xixue didn't recognize Yi Tianyun when she met Yi Tianyun earlier, which led Yi Tianyun to convey the existence of the Hundred Transformation Mask to the Great Elder.

The Great Elder and Mu Xian'er were immediately shocked by Yi Tianyun's mask.

They now understood that was why Yi Tianyun was able to get around without any trouble following him.

"I really thought that there was someone out there who has the kind heart to help us in our misfortune, but it turns out that the one who continuously saves us is none other than Lord Yi himself!" The Great Elder said while looking at Yi Tianyun in awe.

"Hey, it is fine, Great Elder. I'm just doing it because Yang Xixue clearly needs it, there is no reason not to help others when they are in need." Yi Tianyun said while smiling lightly.

While he was still talking, suddenly, a guard came in a hurry toward Yi Tianyun.

"Mansion Lord, Divine Rune Mansion has come looking for trouble!" The Guard said nervously.

After hearing the guard's words, Yi Tianyun felt a little relieved.

With Divine Rune Mansion asking for trouble like this, he didn't have to find any reason to justify his action to obliterate Divine Runes Mansion.

"Okay. Let's see what they want now." Yi Tianyun said as he started to walk out of the room.

Outside, Yi Tianyun who already used his Hundred Transformation Mask was immediately stopped by the deacon.

"Young man, stop! They are here to make trouble. You will be beaten to death if you go there." The Deacon said worriedly.

"Let him go, he will be the one to solve this problem." The Great Elder said to the deacon.

"A garbage sect actually dares to kill our young master! We will crush you now!" One of the people from the Divine Runes Mansion said smugly.

"Crush us? Did you hear yourself? You are a traitor who sells your own faction and stands with Divine Rune Mansion!" Yang Yu said as he was among the ones in the frontline.

"Yang Yu, you better go along now. I don't want a kid from a big family to die for this garbage faction." The traitor said to Yang Yu.

Yang Yu's face was red in anger hearing the traitor's word, as he wanted to attack the traitor, Yi Tianyun came from behind while calling Yang Yu brother.

Yang Yu was a little bit perplexed to see a complete stranger calling him a brother, but he let it slide for the time being.

Yi Tianyun took the front line as he walked closer to the Divine Runes Mansion.

Yi Tianyun looked at them one by one and saw that several of them were Heaven's Top Mansion's disciples.

It was clear that they were traitors!

Chapter 256

Yang Xixue at the moment was shocked to see Yi Tianyun.

At the very moment, Yi Tianyun used the face of the man that previously had saved Yang Xixue's life from the pirate, she immediately called him benefactor out loud.

Yang Yu was surprised, he never saw anything about the man that saved his sister's life before.

And now, he got to see him up close.

Yang Yu immediately expressed his gratitude to Yi Tianyun for saving his sister's life while he could do nothing for her at that moment.

And he awkwardly gave his blessing to Yi Tianyun if he wanted to marry her sister.

Yang Xixue immediately pinched her brother's cheek in embarrassment and pulled him closer to her.

Yang Xixue glared at him for saying such an embarrassing word and smacked Yang Yu on top of his head in frustration.

"Enough!" Feng Yulong said amidst the Divine Rune Mansion.

"You are my fiancée! If you choose to be bedridden by another man, I will personally hurt you!" He said in anger.

"You? Come and try me, traitor! You are weaker than me even when you are healthy, and now that you are already crippled, I would like to see you try!" Yang Xixue said coldly.

"A traitor? I only do what is best for me. Heaven's Top Mansion has nothing left for me to take. Instead, Divine Rune Mansion was kind enough to let us join their faction. The best choice was for me to take the offer as I don't want to be a loser!" Feng Yulong said while sneering.

"If you choose to leave your master faction like this, you need to pay the price or receive the consequences!" Yang Xixue said coldly.

"What price? Heaven's Top Mansion doesn't even do shit to me! All they give is poor cultivation medicine and weak cultivation technique! What price do I have to pay for that?" Feng Yulong said challengingly.

"If you know that Heaven's Top Mansion has bad resources, why the fuck did you choose to join?" Yi Tianyun said, pitched in to help Yang XIxue.

That was true, if he knew that the faction he was about to enter was in decline, he always had the option to not join them in the first place.

That way, he will be able to join other factions he saw fit without betraying anyone.

But it seemed that Feng Yulong along with other disciples who betrayed Heaven's Top Mansion didn't have that conscience, they were too blinded with greed and took all they could get from Heaven's Top Mansion before leaving it altogether.

"You! What do you know? You aren't even from here! You don't get a say in all this! You better shut your mouth before I make you shut up!" Feng Yulong said in anger.

"Come here Yang Xixue! Don't make me come over there!" He said furiously.

"No! I don't want to go anywhere with a traitor like you!" Yang Xixue said spitefully.

"Good, now you will die like the rest of them!" Feng Yulong said coldly.

"Where is your elder?" The deacon of Divine Rune Mansion said coldly.

"I am the one responsible for everything around here!" Yi Tianyun said confidently.

"Then, with our Mansion Lord's Direct Disciple has been killed at the hands of your Mansion Lord. We will exact his revenge on your faction! or you can pay us with a certain number of Medicinal Pill and Soul Tool!" Elder Xiao of Divine Rune Mansion said coldly.

"What compensation? It is clear that your people themselves are trying to bother our Mansion Lord. There is no way Mansion Lord Yi will kill people without reason!" Yang Yu said, full of emotion.

"Elder Xiao, it seems that they are not willing to cooperate with us! I suggest that we start killing them one by one now." Feng Yulong said coldly.

Elder Xiao looked at everyone from Heaven's Top Mansion coldly.

"It seems we have to collect the payment ourselves. Then, all of you! Go and take everything you can get! Kill anyone that tries to block your path!" Elder Xiao said, ordering everyone from Divine Rune Mansion.

As everyone from Divine Rune Mansion charged to attack, Yi Tianyun flashed over to Feng Yulong and struck Feng Yulong's chest swiftly, killing him immediately!

"Betraying your master sect would get you an abolishment of your cultivation technique, but plotting to destroy your master sect is a death penalty!" Yi Tianyun said coldly.

Chapter 257

'DING'

'Successfully killed Feng Yulong!'

'Reward: 7.800 Exp, 1.800 CPs, 50 SPs, 100 Divine Rune Proficiency MPs, Flying Clouds Sword Technique, Cloud Upheaval Step.'

"You actually killed brother Feng! How dare you!" Liao Wen who also betrayed Heaven's Top Mansion and became a disciple of Divine Rune Mansion said coldly.

Yi Tianyun sighed as he noticed Liao Wen and immediately flashed to him and killed him on the spot!

'DING'

'Successfully killed Liao Wen!'

'Reward: 6.500 Exp, 1.800 CPs, 50 SPs, 100 Divine Rune Proficiency MPs.'

"Did you know the terms of Capital Punishment? Let me put it in a way that you can understand, this punishment will make you less worthy than a bug. So, killing you is nothing but a chore." Yi Tianyun said casually.

Everyone from Divine Rune Mansion was shocked that they couldn't even see Yi Tianyun's movement.

Even the elders were shocked as they didn't know what to do if Yi Tianyun decided to attack them.

How could once defend against an attack they didn't see coming!

Yi Tianyun looked at the people from Divine Rune Mansion closely, he wanted to see if there was anybody that he was familiar with and betrayed the Heaven's Top Mansion.

He knew that there must be more than just 2 people among them!

Sure enough, he saw many of them in their rank.

He immediately flashed over to them one by one as he killed all the traitors!

"Stop! I will be your opponent!" Elder Xiao Jie said as he released his Spirit Core aura.

But little did he know that Yi Tianyun had been waiting for that moment.

Yi Tianyun immediately flashed over to Elder Xiao Jie and killed him with a single kick to the guts!

"Did you know that storming Heaven's Top Mansion in order to create trouble is also a Capital Punishment? Maybe it is time for me to clean up the entire Divine Rune Mansion after this." Yi Tianyun said casually.

Seeing that Yi Tianyun already killed almost all of the traitors in Divine Rune Mansion's rank, Yang Yu snapped back from his shocked expression after seeing Yi Tianyun's power.

He immediately rallied the loyal disciple of Heaven's Top Mansion to attack the rest of the Divine Rune Mansion's forces.

They already outnumbered the Divine Rune Mansion's forces by 3 to 1 so, even though they had lower cultivation they should still win the fight!

The only ones left to kill were the remaining elders on their rank, and everything should be fine!

"You can't do this! Divine Rune Mansion will be after your head for sure!" An elder of Divine Rune Mansion said as he saw Yi Tianyun walked slowly towards them.

"Nah, I will go there myself after this." Yi Tianyun said as he casually punched one elder on the chest.

'DING'

'Successfully killed an elder of Divine Rune Mansion!'

'Reward: 240.000 Exp, 3.200 CPs, 50 SPs, 500 Divine Rune Proficiency MPs.'

He activated the X8 Exp from the Crazy Mode. He didn't want to waste any Exp now as he needed a lot of them to level up!

He finished all of Divine Rune Mansion's elders in a short amount of time.

While fighting, he saw Li Huan was also there, and thus he flashed in front of him after killing all the elders and showed Li Huan who he really was.

Li Huan was once again shocked to see that the stranger who helped the Heaven's Top Mansion was none other than Yi Tianyun himself!

"How could you be here!" Li Huan said with a shocked expression.

"Well, after killing the Mansion Lord of Divine Rune Mansion, I decided to go back home, what else." Yi Tianyun said casually.

"But you will follow your beloved Mansion Lord to hell, you traitor!" Yi Tianyun said coldly as he kicked Li Huan on the chest, killing him instantly.

'DING'

'Successfully killed Li Huan!'

'Reward: . . .'

After cleaning up the traitor and elder, Yi Tianyun was absolutely sure that the rest of Heaven's Top Mansion's disciple could finish the rest of the Divine Rune Mansion's disciple on their own.

"Hey, Clean up the trash here together with your friends! I have to go somewhere else in the meantime!" Yi Tianyun said to Yang Xixue.

Yang Xixue nodded, and Yi Tianyun immediately headed towards Divine Rune Mansion!

He thought that Divine Rune Mansion's problem was only in their higher-ups but it seemed that they were already rotten to the roots!

He needed to kill them all before it pestered!

Chapter 258

Yi Tianyun summoned the Black Dragon and quickly flew toward the Divine Rune Mansion.

He already made up his mind to finish the entire Divine Rune Mansion!

'DING'

'Successfully took the [Destroys Divine Rune Mansion!] Quest!'

'Completion reward: 10.000.000 Exp, 100.000 CPs, Tyrant Rune Paper, Enhanced Roulette lottery ticket, 100 Prestige Point.'

Yi Tianyun immediately felt more justified to destroy the Divine Rune Mansion, even though the system was on his side!

Meanwhile, Divine Rune Mansion's disciples who weren't invited to join the elder to march toward Heaven's Top Mansion were in deep conversation on how much resources would the elder bring back from Heaven's Top Mansion.

They were busy mocking Heaven's Top Mansion as they thought that their elder would easily get what they wanted from a useless faction like Heaven's Top Mansion!

Suddenly, a big Black Dragon descended from the sky in the middle of the Divine Rune Mansion's courtyard, shocking everyone.

Some of them panicked seeing a Divine Beast suddenly in their courtyard.

They became even more panicked as they saw someone was riding the dragon!

Someone with a Divine Dragon as their ride will definitely be someone who should be feared!

Yi Tianyun quickly ordered his Black Dragon to burn any Divine Rune Mansion's people that it could see.

Black Dragon immediately did so as Yi Tianyun shouted that there would be no more Divine Rune Mansion after that night!

Black Dragon quickly burned all the houses and people that caught its attention, wreaking havoc.

"Who are you? How dare you destroy our Divine Rune Mansion!" Several elders asked as they came running toward Yi Tianyun.

"My identity doesn't matter! All you need to know is that I am here to kill you!" Yi Tianyun said while giving an evil grin.

Yi Tianyun quickly ordered the Black Dragon to kill the elder who approached him.

The Black Dragon quickly swooped in from above and burned the elder and sliced them with its claw!

The elder of Divine Rune Mansion couldn't defend themselves from the dragon's attack, they couldn't even outrun it!

'DING'

'Successfully killed Divine Rune Mansion Elder!'

'Reward: 270.000 Exp, 3.300 CPs, 100 SPs, 500 Divine Rune MPs, Moon Fall Palm Martial Art, Divine Rune Paper, Heavenly Feather Stroke.'

This notification kept ringing several times in Yi Tianyun's head.

The only thing that mattered to Yi Tianyun from those notifications was that the Sin Points that he got from all those elders were not bad!

That meant those people already did so many despicable things throughout their lives!

It was time for them to atone for their mistake and give Yi Tianyun some Sin Points.

He immediately bought the X5 Mastery Point and X2 Sin Point from the shop, he immediately activated them so as to not lose any more valuable points because the Black Dragon was still killing people!

He immediately saw the Black Dragon swooped in from above and killed another elder.

'DING'

'Successfully killed Divine Rune Mansion Elder!'

'Reward: 1.200.000 Exp, 165.000 CPs, 200 SPs, 2.500 Divine Rune MPs, . . ..'

He was satisfied seeing the amount of mastery and sin that he got.

He also enhanced the amount of exp that he got from the Crazy Mode.

Soon enough he will level up his Divine Rune Mastery into Master Level from killing all those scrub!

Yi Tianyun saw one elder wanted to escape from the Mansion, seeing that fool trying to save his sinful life, Yi Tianyun immediately equipped his Ice-Cold Divine Bow and immediately shot the fleeing elder, immediately killing him on the spot!

When he continuously killed the Divine Rune Mansion's People, a black cloud was forming on top of him.

He was confused to see those clouds forming at first, but he immediately knew that the cloud was formed by an array!

It seemed that he stepped into a trap right then.

As the lightning struck Yi Tianyun, the rest of the Divine Rune Mansion's people cheered.

They thought that with the thunder strike array Yi Tianyun would be toast!

As the light from the thunder dissipated, they were shocked to see Yi Tianyun was still standing there completely unharmed!

"Wow, thanks for the food! That's quite a lot of spiritual energy! Good exp for me!" Yi Tianyun said while giving another evil grin.

Yi Tianyun absorbed the spiritual energy that formed the thunder with his Absorbing Star Great Technique!

Yi Tianyun was satisfied to see that he found another source of exp!

Chapter 259

"Impossible!" The Elder of Divine Rune Mansion said in disbelief.

There was no way a human could withstand the Thunder Strike Array without having so much of a scratch!

The thunder that produced by the array was supposed to be the same as the 6th Layer Core Transformation cultivator's ultimate attack!

In the middle of absorbing the lightning, Yi Tianyun's Absorbing Stars Great Technique was leveled up, which made the absorption speed increase to X8!

All the thunder was quickly absorbed by the Absorbing Star Great Technique and turned into Exp!

Yi Tianyun got an overwhelmingly close to 10 Million Exp!

"What? Never saw anyone survive this thunder strike of yours before?" Yi Tianyun said while smirking.

"You are not human! There is no way a human won't receive any damage after that attack!" The elder said while still shocked to see Yi Tianyun survived the thunderstruck.

"Well, nice chatting with you! Now, goodbye!" Yi Tianyun said as he pulled the string of the Ice-Cold Divine Bow.

The elder's body was pierced by the arrow and died instantly on the spot!

'DING'

'Successfully killed an Elder of Divine Rune Mansion!'

'Reward: 1.100.000 Exp, 15.000 CPs, 150 SPs, 1.000 Divine Rune MPs, Soul Breaking Finger Martial Art, Violent Flames Divine Art, Divine Rune Paper, Imperial Spirit Stroke.'

The notification kept ringing as the Black Dragon still ran amok nearby.

Yi Tianyun quickly ordered the Black Dragon to level the ground surrounding the Divine Rune Mansion to destroy the array completely.

As Yi Tianyun continued on his killing spree, the elder and the disciple scattered around in panic.

He didn't forget to take every little resource that Divine Rune Mansion had, be it a personal belonging like a Storage Ring or the resource storage that Divine Rune Mansion inside the mansion.

That was the fastest way to strengthen his factions.

Also, the Divine Rune Mansion will be no longer after that night anyway, and dead people didn't need any of those!

After killing nearly 90% of Divine Rune Mansion's people, Yi Tianyun felt a strong aura coming from somewhere.

He immediately activated his Heavenly Eyes and he immediately felt the presence of an array already locked on his location.

Yi Tianyun saw with Heavenly Eyes that the array was named a God Killer Great Array.

He wondered, could that array really kill a god?

After analyzing the array for a moment, Yi Tianyun knew that array didn't really have the power to kill a god.

It was more in the level of a Divine Art than a powerful God Slayer!

He checked the effect of the array and noticed that the array could concentrate a huge spiritual power and then shot the concentrated energy in a single blast.

Its power was said to be close to the Core Transformation Peak Stage!

Yi Tianyun found that array's mechanism was interesting, with the array's spiritual attack he knew that the Absorbing Stars Great Technique will be able to absorb it!

Yi Tianyun was excited knowing he will get another massive amount of Exp shortly!

Meanwhile, the rest of the elders who survived were looking at Yi Tianyun in expectation.

They could see that Yi Tianyun didn't do anything to stop the array, which was currently charging power!

They still thought that Yi Tianyun probably didn't know what would hit him in a minute.

Chapter 260

The Elder looked at Yi Tianyun with an excited look on their face.

They thought that they would finally get rid of Yi Tianyun once and for all!

Yi Tianyun on the other hand already knew what would happen and excitedly waited for the array's attack!

As the array finally finished charging, an eye appeared in the sky looking at Yi Tianyun and immediately shot a light beam towards him.

The light beam obliterated everything on its path, the building was instantly demolished by its sheer power!

Yi Tianyun immediately activated the Absorbing Star Great Technique to its fullest potential creating a vortex of spiritual energy in his palm!

The vortex immediately absorbed every spiritual energy that crossed its path, even the Light Beam from the God Killer Divine Array didn't seem to be strong enough to resist the vortex!

The Elders of Divine Rune Mansion looked at Yi Tianyun with a conflicted look at their eyes.

It seemed that the light beam which was supposed to kill Yi Tianyun vanished into a vortex that he made with his palm!

They couldn't believe their eyes, how could a boy not even half their age do that kind of thing!

They instantly knew that they had no means to fight Yi Tianyun with, and they immediately ran away, trying to save their sorry asses out of Yi Tianyun's killer grip!

Yi Tianyun however, already knew that after seeing their ultimate defense mechanism couldn't hold a candle against Yi Tianyun will choose to run away in that very second.

He already prepared the Ice-Cold Divine Bow in advance and immediately shot them all with pinpoint accuracy!

Yi Tianyun also ordered the Black Dragon to block their path and immediately killed all of them!

However, once again the skies began to darken and not long after, two old men flew towards Yi Tianyun while thunder violently followed their path!

Yi Tianyun overheard some of the disciples shouting excitedly that finally their old ancestors had come to help them!

The Deacons who were hiding in a corner somewhere also came out immediately after hearing that their old ancestor finally arrived!

Yi Tianyun immediately activated his Appraisal Eye to see those new enemies of his.

'Old Ancestor Heavenly Thunder: 8th Level Core Transformation Stage, a fully enchanted physique with thunder attributed to Divine Rune.'

'Combat Power: 5.250.000'

'Weakness: Earth attribute attack.'

'Old Ancestor Thunder Tyrant: Core Transformation Peak Stage, fully enchanted physique of thunder attributed to Divine Rune.'

'Combat Power: 6.500.000'

'Weakness: Earth attribute attack.'

"I don't know who you are or where you're from, but it is capital punishment for attacking us like this!" Thunder Tyrant said coldly.

"Capital Punishment? It is I who's going to be the one to give you capital punishment!" Yi Tianyun said with an evil grin on his face.

Yi Tianyun didn't feel the difference of power at that moment was that high, once he activated Crazy Mode, his combat power will skyrocket above theirs!

But first things first!

Let them think that Yi Tianyun was from the Netherworld Empire!

Yi Tianyun took out the Jade Talisman on his inventory and immediately crushed it, summoning the Netherworld Emperor's Phantom Shadow!

The two Old Ancestors were shocked to see the shadow of the Netherworld Emperor appear in front of them all of a sudden.

"How can that talisman be in your possession? Are you part of the Netherworld Empire?" Heavenly Thunder said worriedly.

"Well, if that is true what would you do?" Yi Tianyun said challengingly.

At the very next moment, the emperor's shadow immediately attacked with its signature Netherworld Divine Palm!

Old Ancestor Thunder Tyrant immediately unleashed a powerful thunderbolt to block the Netherworld Divine Palm, the thunderbolt immediately destroyed the Netherworld Divine Palm completely!

"If you are really from the Netherworld Empire, why did you do this? What did Divine Rune Mansion do wrong?" They looked at Yi Tianyun with a conflicted expression.

"It is all because of your Mansion Lord's ignorance, it is not even half of the mistakes that you Divine Rune Mansion even do!" Yi Tianyun said while smirking evilly!

Chapter 261

"Even if you are from the Netherworld Empire, killing us will be your downfall!" Old Ancestor Heavenly Thunder said coldly.

Heavenly Thunder immediately released his aura, raising his combat power to 8.6 Million!

Completely overshadowed Yi Tianyun's combat power!

This Old Ancestor was so much more powerful than the minister of the Netherworld Empire.

At that time, Yi Tianyun noticed that his cultivation wasn't high enough, even if he used the effect of Crazy Mode, he still won't be able to reach the Combat Power of those Old Ancestors.

"You will die here right here, right now!" Heavenly Thunder said coldly.

He immediately attacked Yi Tianyun with a long spear with lightning imbued on its tip.

Old Ancestor Heavenly Thunder was very fast!

Yi Tianyun saw that Heavenly Thunder's combat power was still rising at the very moment of launching his attack to 11 Million!

Yi Tianyun immediately took out his Ice Cold Divine Bow from his inventory and pulled the bowstring to the maximum and activated the Bow's special effect, The Ice Cold Fury!

That effect would double the power of his next attack, which Yi Tianyun used to its full potential!

Ice Cold Divine Bow shone with light blue color as the arrow was gradually materialized.

He immediately released the arrow as he finally reached the combat power of 15 Million!

The arrow made a chirping noise as Yi Tianyun shot and unleashed it with extreme speed!

Old Ancestor Heavenly Thunder's complexion changed.

He felt that if he was hit by that arrow, he would be dead instantly!

Feeling the foreboding sense, he switched into a defensive stance as he didn't have any time to dodge the attack.

Old Ancestor collided with the Ice Cold Fury with a thundering sound bellowing from the impact.

As the lights dissipated, the scream of Old Ancestor Heavenly Thunder was suddenly heard.

His body was frostbitten, the most serious being his arm, which already turned black from the extreme frostbite.

At the same time, three more Ice Arrow flew through the air toward the Old Ancestor Heavenly Thunder.

That attack wasn't the Ice Cold Fury as it had a cooldown period, but that wasn't an attack one could take lightly.

It had the combat power of 7.5 Million compacted in each arrow!

Old Ancestor Heavenly Thunder immediately blocked off the arrow with ease as Old Ancestor Thunder Tyrant moved towards him to help.

Old Ancestor Heavenly Thunder immediately pushed away Old Ancestor Thunder Tyrant as he said he was fine and would definitely kill the boy with his own hands!

Thunder Tyrant nodded his head in understanding.

He knew that the Old Ancestor Heavenly Thunder had to do this himself, or he would be ashamed that he couldn't deal with just a boy on his own.

Old Ancestor Heavenly Thunder immediately activated the Divine Rune on his body, increasing his combat power to 13 Million!

The power of the real Core Transformation Expert was really amazing!

Yi Tianyun could hardly keep up with his own power now!

He knew that if he didn't do anything at that moment and waited for Old Ancestor Heavenly Thunder to attack, he would be done for!

So, he immediately opened his inventory and then equipped the Heaven Holding set that he got from killing Minister Lin Hao of the Netherworld Empire.

'DING'

'Successfully equipped Heaven Holding Divine Armor!'

'Effect: X5 defense power, negate 1 fatal attack!'

'DING'

'Successfully equipped Heaven Holding Leg Guard!'

'Effect: X5 movement speed on the ground, X10 Movement Speed when injured.'

'DING'

'Successfully equipped Heaven Holding Giant Sword!'

'Effect: X3 Combat Power. Special Effect – (Combo Star): continuously attacking an opponent will increase the power of the attack, maxed at X5 Combat Power.'

'DING'

'Successfully equipped Heaven Holding Set!'

'Effect: X5 Combat Power, X2 Attack Speed, X2 Defence Power. Special Effect – (Heaven Holding's Anger): Needs 5.000 Crazy Points to use!'

After equipping all of the Heaven Holding Set, his combat power soared to 13 Million!

That new set was really on a whole different level!

Chapter 262

After his combat power soared, Yi Tianyun noticed that Old Ancestor Heavenly Thunder's combat power wasn't that far off from him.

He became confident of killing Old Ancestor Heavenly Thunder.

Yi Tianyun taunted the Old Ancestor Heavenly Thunder to attack, which he saw had no effect seeing that the Old Ancestor was still surprised to see the Heaven Holding Giant Sword!

Yi Tianyun then decided that he needed to strike.

First, he swung the Heaven Holding Giant Sword in his hand to strike Old Ancestor Heavenly Thunder!

The old man immediately blocked Yi Tianyun's attack with his long spear, and as the two weapons collided, a violent noise was heard!

With that single clash of weapons, Old Ancestor Heavenly Thunder instantly realized that Yi Tianyun was very powerful.

He guessed that the boy was probably at the Core Transformation Peak Stage!

Otherwise, Yi Tianyun won't be able to block his attack!

If that was the case, how did the Netherworld Empire have such a genius on their rank was unknown!

It was clear that the boy in front of him wasn't a regular genius either, it could be said that he was a genius among the geniuses!

Yi Tianyun didn't care about any of that, and so, he relentlessly attacked Old Ancestor Heavenly Thunder!

The old man could sense that Yi Tianyun's attack became more powerful with each attack!

That was due to the special effect of the Heaven Holding Giant Sword, the Combo Star!

With each strike, Old Ancestor Heavenly Thunder felt that his hands become numb from the shockwave of repetitively blocking a powerful attack like that.

Realizing that he will no longer have enough power to block Yi Tianyun's attack, Old Ancestor Heavenly Thunder immediately called Old Ancestor Thunder Tyrant to help him.

The old man who was itching to join the fight from the beginning immediately rushed over and varied Yi Tianyun's attack with his spear.

"You are getting ahead of yourself, brat! I will be your opponent now!" Old Ancestor Thunder Tyrant said coldly.

Yi Tianyun's complexion suddenly changed, he knew that he would not be able to handle both of them at the same time. Yi Tianyun immediately activated Heaven Holding's Anger and consumed 5.000 Crazy Points! His combat power once again soared to 18 Million!

He immediately flashed over toward Old Ancestor Heavenly Thunder and stabbed him with the Heaven Holding Giant Sword right through his chest!

Old Ancestor Heavenly Thunder immediately screamed in agony as his body was shining from the berserk Divine Rune.

Old Ancestor Thunder Tyrant shouted for his brother and tried to rush over to his position to help, but it was all too late!

As the Divine Rune on Old Ancestor Heavenly Thunder's body lost its power from the constant damage of the Giant Sword, Yi Tianyun split the old man's body in two!

'DING'

'Successfully killed Heavenly Thunder Old Ancestor!'

'Reward: 3.100.000 Exp, 50.000 CPs, 2.000 SPs, 10.000 Divine Rune MPs, Thunder Sound Flash Martial Art, Heavenly Thunder Art, Thunder God's Gun, God Killer Great Array, Heavenly Thunder Divine Pearl.'

'DING'

'Successfully killed an Elite Enemy!'

'Reward: 30.000.000 Exp, 100.000 CPs, 1.000 SPs, Enhanced Lottery Roulette ticket.'

Yi Tianyun immediately swapped the sword with the Ice-Cold Divine Bow and immediately used the Ice-Cold Fury towards Old Ancestor Thunder Tyrant!

This time however, he didn't charge it that long, it was only slightly more powerful than the regular shots.

Old Ancestor Thunder Tyrant immediately blocked the arrow with his spear, causing the arrow to explode.

But because Old Ancestor Thunder Tyrant was much more powerful than Heavenly Thunder, he didn't receive the same amount of damage as Heavenly Thunder.

His hands still received some frostbite damage, but it was negligible.

"You dare kill Heavenly Thunder! You are a dead meat!" Old Ancestor Thunder tyrant said furiously.

Old Ancestor Thunder Tyrant immediately released his aura and activated the Divine Rune across his body.

After all that, his combat power rose to 17 Million!

Which made him the strongest opponent Yi Tianyun has ever fought so far!

Chapter 263

"I don't care who you are or where you are from! You will atone your sin for killing Old Ancestor Heavenly Thunder by dying in my hands!" Old Ancestor Thunder Tyrant bellowed as he released his aura, and his combat power was multiplied by 3.

Yi Tianyun was a little bit uneasy with his sudden increase in combat power.

"Well, say no more! I will be the one destroying this corrupted Mansion to the ground!" Yi Tianyun said confidently while once again taking out the Heaven Holding Giant Sword!

"We will see at the very end, who will prevail and who will be six feet under!" Old Ancestor Thunder Tyrant said furiously.

He concentrated a huge amount of his Spiritual Energy into the tip of his spear and legs.

He suddenly rushed over to Yi Tianyun like a thunderstrike while pointing the tip of his spear to Yi Tianyun's head!

Yi Tianyun didn't want to defend the old man's attack passively.

Therefore he rushed forward using the Thunder Sound Flash that he got from killing Old Ancestor heavenly Thunder earlier.

He immediately blocked off the old man's attack with the Heaven Holding Giant Sword.

But doing so, made the Old Ancestor Thunder Tyrant angrier!

He immediately fenced another stab to Yi Tianyun's direction!

Which Yi Tianyun blocked off with all his strength!

With a loud thundering sound from the clashing weapon, Yi Tianyun built up his Combo Star effect to increase his probability of winning against Old Ancestor Thunder Tyrant!

Feeling frustrated that all his attacks were blocked, Old Ancestor Thunder Tyrant concentrated his spiritual power on his hands.

With tremendous strength, the old man swung his spear to Yi Tianyun's sword, immediately blowing Yi Tianyun to the side!

Yi Tianyun's combo star didn't have any effect on the old man's attack, as the attack still blew him away.

At the same time, Old Ancestor Thunder Tyrant also took out his Thunder God's Gun and immediately shot out a Thunder Dragon's Bullet which pierced through Yi Tianyun's defense!

The Heaven Holding Divine Armor effect activated instantly, negating the damage from the bullet!

"What? Why is the bullet fended off like nothing just now? What have you done kid?" Old Ancestor Thunder Tyrant said coldly.

Yi Tianyun smiled, using the fact that Old Ancestor Thunder Tyrant was shocked due to his attack being nullified, he immediately flashed to the old man's spot and immediately swung the Heaven Holding Giant Sword to the old man's direction!

Yi Tianyun relentlessly struck the old man's spear with his sword, increasing his combat power closer to the old man's combat power.

At the same time, everyone who watched the fight was shocked to see that their strongest Old Ancestor was being fended off by a much younger man!

Blow after blow, Yi Tianyun noticed that his attack finally had an effect on the old man, he clearly saw that the old man's hand began to tremble from constantly blocking Yi Tianyun's attack.

This numbness on his hand made Old Ancestor Thunder Tyrant a little bit panicked, he for a second thought that Yi Tianyun might beat him!

Having had enough of Yi Tianyun, the old man immediately activated all the Divine Rune in his body, raising his combat power exponentially.

Yi Tianyun knew that was a desperate move from the old man.

Old Ancestor Thunder Tyrant burned his own Blood Essence knowing that he couldn't beat Yi Tianyun with his normal power.

"You have pulled my last straw, kid! I admit that you are strong. You will definitely become a powerful figure in the future! But it will not happen as you will be dead right here, right now!" Old Ancestor Thunder Tyrant said coldly.

After burning his Blood Essence, his combat power reached 20 Million!

Yi Tianyun felt great pressure from that old man.

Unlike any previous fight he has engaged so far, the power gap at the moment was too far apart!

Chapter 264

Facing the raging Old Ancestor Thunder Tyrant, Yi Tianyun activated the Heaven Holding Anger.

While he was still preparing himself, the old man already flashed over to his position and threw a powerful blow with his spear to Yi Tianyun's direction.

Yi Tianyun was a bit startled by the old man's attack, but thanks to the Heaven Holding Divine Armor, once again the damage was negated, however by that moment, the Armor has already used up all its charge for today, meaning that it won't be able to negate any other damage for the rest of the day!

Old Ancestor Thunder Tyrant tried to attack once more with all his strength.

Yi Tianyun immediately instinctively sensed the impending danger, he knew that if he took it head-on, he would lose his head! So, in the middle of the old man's attack, Yi Tianyun quickly teleported away to safety!

Old Ancestor Thunder Tyrant was a little bit shocked to see that Yi Tianyun was able to escape from his grasp.

But as he was still shocked and confused, Yi Tianyun flashed over and slammed down his sword in the Old Ancestor Thunder Tyrant's direction.

Yi Tianyun's attack caught Old Ancestor Thunder Tyrant off guard, lopping off one of the old man's arms.

Old Ancestor Thunder Tyrant was once again shocked that Yi Tianyun managed to hit him yet again, he immediately took some distance from Yi Tianyun, fearing the second attack from Yi Tianyun's Giant Sword!

Yi Tianyun immediately took out his Ice-Cold Divine Bow and quickly shot three arrows heading straight to the old man.

He still couldn't fire the Ice-Cold Fury because it was still on cooldown.

It needed a couple more minutes before it was usable again.

Old Ancestor Thunder Tyrant saw the arrow coming, he quickly fended off the arrows with his spear once more.

But unlike last time, the cold effect successfully affected the old man!

His arm was frostbitten!

The old man still thought for the better of it, he knew that he would be having a hard time while fighting Yi Tianyun at close range.

But here, in the distance, he still could control the tide of battle.

The old man became cautious about Yi Tianyun's every move.

He needed to really see everything in detail so as to not let Yi Tianyun get the upper hand again!

"You son of a bitch! Don't get cocky for hitting me once!" Old Ancestor Thunder Tyrant said coldly.

"Chill, that won't be the last!" Yi Tianyun said casually while repetitively shooting three arrows three times.

"Fuck you, this attack won't do anything to me!" Old Ancestor Thunder Tyrant said furiously.

"Shameless old man, you don't have the skill to fight me up close, and now you don't have the skill to fight me in the distance, and so what would you do now? Give up?" Yi Tianyun said coldly.

With this repetitive attack from the Ice-Cold Divine Bow, the old man's body was frostbitten bit by bit.

Because of the freeze damage, he slowly felt his body was heavy and realized that he suddenly had trouble flying.

He immediately realized that if that went on, he would be dead soon!

In the middle of preparing his next attack, Yi Tianyun heard voices from below, which bad-mouthed him and planned to attack Yi Tianyun when he let his guard down.

Yi Tianyun sighed and immediately shot them down with an arrow to each person, instantly turning them into an ice sculpture.

Yi Tianyun sighed.

If only they knew that Yi Tianyun's cultivation was only at the 1st Level Core Transformation stage, they would have lost their mind right now.

At the same time, Old Ancestor Thunder Tyrant got away from Yi Tianyun as he noticed that Yi Tianyun was a little bit distracted by his deacons from below.

He detonated all the Divine Rune in his body, causing bleeding all over his body.

But instead of getting weaker, his combat power rose exponentially once again!

Chapter 265

The Old Ancestor Thunder Tyrant seemed to be really desperate to end the battle.

He was prepared for the worst if it meant killing Yi Tianyun!

The old man's combat power kept rising uncontrollably, while his Divine Rune was activated one after another.

Yi Tianyun immediately activated his Heaven Holding Anger, he couldn't hesitate now, as that fight will be decided in one blow!

For a moment, a thunderstruck went right to the position of the Old Ancestor Thunder Tyrant, empowering him even further and immediately rushed over to Yi Tianyun with incredible speed.

The long spear in his hands immediately glowed brightly like lightning that temporarily blinded Yi Tianyun.

In an instant, Old Ancestor Thunder Tyrant was already in front of Yi Tianyun and prepared himself to attack!

Yi Tianyun knew that he was screwed!

There was no way that he would be able to dodge the attack.

Moreover, the Teleport Skill was still in cooldown.

He thought over all of his current abilities and none of them could hold a candle to the old man's current combat power, he was still too under-leveled to take that attack head-on!

With no other way to go, Yi Tianyun decided that if his ability couldn't help him in that situation, then what could!

So, he immediately activated Xuan Tian Divine Art, Golden Body Secret Art, Dragon God Bloodline while also activating his Absorbing Star Great Technique.

He used the Heaven Holding GreatSword to act as a lightning rod, at least he won't get electrified!

He absorbed almost everything from the old man's attack, but there was still some that got through, giving him a slight burn on his body.

He was a little bit surprised, he didn't know that he was capable of doing something like that.

"There seems to be no effect!" Yi Tianyun said while sighing.

Old Ancestor Thunder Tyrant was shocked to see that his attack didn't do any serious damage, let alone kill Yi Tianyun!

"Impossible, how could you survive that one?" Old Ancestor Thunder Tyrant with a shocked expression.

He saw that Yi Tianyun was bleeding a little bit, but not as much as he expected.

Yi Tianyun's injury seemed to be superficial, which meant that the injuries didn't hinder him from anything.

"What is this nonsense? What did you do?" Old Ancestor Thunder Tyrant said nervously.

"What? I don't do anything special. You're just too weak for me!" Yi Tianyun said while smirking smugly.

Yi Tianyun laughed as he realized that his defense power was really high, he always tried his best to avoid getting hit, but he realized at that moment that even if he got hit, it didn't really do much!

He had the effect of the Heaven Holding Divine Armor, the Guardian Title, Xuan Tian Divine Art, the Golden Body Divine Art, and the Dragon God Bloodline!

Everything amplified his defense power to an overwhelming number.

Knowing that fact, Yi Tianyun didn't hesitate to swing his sword to kill the Old Ancestor Thunder Tyrant.

He didn't fear Old Ancestor Thunder Tyrant's retaliation attack anymore, there will be no significant damage anyway!

At some point, Yi Tianyun finally hit Old Ancestor Thunder Tyrant with the Heaven Holding Giant Sword, which immediately flung the old man to the ground.

Yi Tianyun no longer put any effort to avoid his attack since his attack didn't seem to be doing any damage to Yi Tianyun.

"You fucking monster! How can you do all this? Why is it so hard to kill you!" Old Ancestor Thunder Tyrant said while gritting his teeth in frustration.

"Idiot, who wants to die easily? In fact, it is not that I'm too hard to kill, but you're just too weak to do anything to me!" Yi Tianyun said smugly.

Yi Tianyun rushed over and immediately hit the old man with the sword's dull edge with all his might.

The old man was once again flung out to the wall.

He couldn't withstand the sheer power from Yi Tianyun's attack at that time.

The survivor of Divine Rune Mansion immediately came over to check on their Old Ancestor.

"It is over! What will you do now, old coot? You can't even penetrate my defenses!" Yi Tianyun said with a bored face.

"You fucker!" Old Ancestor Thunder Tyrant said hopelessly.

He didn't have any more strength to fight Yi Tianyun with!

Chapter 266

Yi Tianyun quickly struck the dying Old Ancestor Thunder Tyrant with his Heaven Holding Giant Sword, while the old man could only watch as his life ended right before his eyes.

'DING'

'Successfully killed Old Ancestor Thunder Tyrant!'

'Reward: 3.000.000 Exp, 60.000 CPs, 1.000 SPs, 10.000 Divine Rune MPs, Thunder Sound Flash Martial Art, Heavenly Thunder Art, Thunder God Spear, Heavenly Thunder Armour, Heavenly Thunder Leg Guard, Thunder God Divine Rune.'

'DING'

'Successfully killed an elite enemy!'

'Reward: 50.000.000 Exp, 100.000 CPs, 1.000 SPs, 5.000 Divine Rune MPs.'

'DING'

'Congratulation to the Host for successfully breakthrough to Core Transformation.'

Yi Tianyun was excited to see that he finally leveled up!

He could level up by killing a strong opponent, especially the so-called elite enemy.

But he still thought that it took too long to level up!

He needed to level up faster, as his enemies have become more powerful.

Otherwise he would die a horrible death.

Yi Tianyun signaled the Black Dragon to wrap it up, as he wanted to leave that place quickly.

The Black Dragon burned everything faster and also chased several escaping enemies.

The enemy couldn't escape Black Dragon, even though the Black Dragon has a huge body, it was abnormally quick!

At the same time, Yi Tianyun was collecting all the treasures and resources that he could find throughout the place!

There was no doubt in his mind that once it was over, the news would spread like crazy!

The Divine Rune Mansion was in the middle of influences throughout the continent, everyone will be curious how could a faction like that be destroyed overnight!

He made sure that the Black Dragon and the talisman that summoned the Netherworld Emperor's Shadow earlier were seen by so many people in order to mislead them into thinking that the one behind everything was the Netherworld Empire.

At the Star Pavilion, they all heard the news with an unreadable face.

They knew that Wang Family, which was a part of their Pavilion, was annihilated by the same Black Dragon who destroyed the Divine Rune Mansion.

It was clear that whoever was controlling this Black Dragon would be really strong!

And thanks to Yi Tianyun, the Netherworld Empire became more well known than before in various ways. Many people wanted to know why the empire struck such a faction.

The Netherworld Empire immediately made a clear statement, saying that they weren't the ones behind the attack of the Divine Rune Mansion or Wang Family as they didn't have any reason to do that.

They don't know how the assailant got his hand on the amulet, not to mention, he was also capable of using it without the emperor's knowledge.

Pavilion Lord Li sighed as he still didn't have any lead about the Wang Family Incident.

All he knew was maybe Wang Family had provoked the young expert about something and ended up annihilated due to his own wrongdoing.

At the same time, the Netherworld Emperor sat at his chair, looking annoyed as hell.

It was clear that the problem was completely out of control.

He ordered his people to find out anything about that Young Expert with a Black Dragon.

He put a little pressure on his order to make sure they carried out his order as soon as possible!

As his people left the hall, the Emperor punched his chair in annoyance.

After a while, some of his men returned to give some information.

They said that the Black Dragon already showed up from the destruction of Profound Azure Mansion.

But they never followed it through as Profound Azure Mansion was a weak faction.

They said that they will report back as soon as they know some other information about the assailant!

The Emperor roared that if within a month there was still no news about the assailant, they would be punished for their incompetence!

The Netherworld Empire's scouts immediately left the palace with chills running down their spine. They needed to carry out that order quickly!

On the other side, Heaven's Top Mansion was shocked to hear the news!

A young man riding a Black Dragon has leveled Divine Rune Mansion to the ground!

Some of the higher-ups, like the Great Elder and the previous Mansion Lord of Heaven's Top Mansion, knew that the young man mentioned in the news was none other than Yi Tianyun, their current Mansion Lord!

They wondered between themselves how strong Yi Tianyun really was.

They immediately knew not to brag about this nor tell anyone who wasn't in their circle.

They knew if that information was leaked, Heaven's Top Mansion could be in danger.

Yi Tianyun didn't really care, either way, he used another identity while destroying the Divine Rune Mansion anyway.

None of the evidence will point back to him!

Chapter 267

Yi Tianyun quickly replaced the Black Dragon with the Phoenix Wing and flew back to Heavenly Jade Sect.

Since he already reached the Core Transformation Stage, he arrived at the Earthly Border Continent in no time.

'DING'

'Successfully completed the [Destroy Divine Rune Mansion!] Quest.'

'Reward: 10.000.000 Exp, 100.000 CPs, Tyrant Rune Paper, Enhanced Lottery Ticket, 100 PPs, 1.000 SPs.'

Yi Tianyun was really satisfied with how things developed.

With his Prestige Point kept increasing from the quest he took and from the elite enemies that he killed, he was in a good mood.

He then thought for a moment if he should use the enhanced lottery at that moment or later at the Heavenly Jade Sect.

He then thought that it was better to use it right away, why bother waiting anyway.

He then activated his Luck Aura and opened the enhanced lottery panel.

He quickly spun the roulette as there was nothing to wait for.

While waiting for the roulette to stop, he began to wonder what else he could get from that roulette.

The Ice-Cold Divine Bow he got last time was so good that he didn't know what else could top that.

Soon enough, the pointer stopped at Cultivation Technique!

That was the first time that he ever got his hand on cultivation technique in that enhanced lottery roulette.

As he caught the box which dropped from the roulette, he immediately opened the box to see what was inside.

Shadow Clone Art: High-Grade Earth Level Martial Art – Upgradeable.

Create three clones that look exactly like the user with 30% of power intact.

Leveling up will increase the power of the clone.

Yi Tianyun immediately shouted in excitement.

That technique had so many potentials!

He could use a clone to disrupt the enemy's defenses or confuse them.

With the level improvement, the clone can be used to attack!

It was the same as having three more of himself!

However, leveling it up might prove to be difficult, he knew that to level up a martial arts or cultivation technique, the system would demand a lot of Crazy Points!

Surely, now he had many resources in his hand that could be used to level up that martial art to a certain degree, but it just didn't make any sense to use the resources like that.

It was better to give it to the Heavenly Jade Sect or the Heaven's Top Mansion so they could improve and help him in the future.

Furthermore, he didn't have enough resources to level up the martial arts to Heaven Level Martial Art.

He assumed that it needed at least 1 million Mastery for that, and 1 million Mastery was not that easy to get!

He could use a High-Grade Level Martial Arts as a fodder to increase the mastery of the martial arts that he wanted to level up, but the problem was he didn't have that many High-Grade Earth Level Martial Arts.

Martial Arts with that level were scarce for a 3rd grade faction.

Only a few people possessed a martial art at that level.

He immediately cast the thought away, he felt that he needed to think about that problem some other time, he didn't need the martial art that much for the time being.

He should focus more on the weaponry that he had.

They gave a much higher survival rate than martial arts at that moment.

He immediately sold all the unnecessary and weak martial arts that he got from the enemy and checked the amount of the Crazy Point that he got from all that.

He received around 3 Million Crazy Points!

He was quite excited and looked around for something that he needed to level up immediately.

But after a few considerations, he decided to keep his crazy points for now as he considered leveling a perfect thing at the perfect situation.

As he was lost in his thoughts, he arrived at the Heavenly Jade Sect before he knew it. He immediately landed and put away his Phoenix Wing, as he saw that the place was considerably tidied up.

He also saw many new faces training in the new training ground outside Heavens Immersing Ancient Ruins.

As he walked closer, several female disciples that he had not yet seen before stopped him in his tracks and asked who he was and why he came to the Heavenly Jade Sect rudely.

The commotion attracted several other female disciples, but unfortunately, there was no one that Yi Tianyun had already known.

They began to stand side by side, ready to defend the Sect from Yi Tianyun.

One of them asked for Yi Tianyun's faction and Yi Tianyun's identity.

Yi Tianyun was impressed to see that the new disciples were this prepared.

He immediately answered that he was from the Heavenly Jade Sect itself!

Chapter 268

"You are from here? Don't bother trying to fool us! We never saw you anywhere, and this place doesn't even recruit a male disciple!" One of the new disciples said while looking at Yi Tianyun carefully.

Suddenly there was a new voice asking if they knew that one of their elders was a male, and they were curious to identify and meet the elder.

The voice soon walked to the front and hugged Yi Tianyun tightly.

"Welcome back, Young Master Yi!" Liu Menglian said excitedly.

The rest of the new disciples seemed to be ashamed to act rudely to Yi Tianyun.

They immediately apologized for their rudeness and hoped that Yi Tianyun could forgive them.

Yi Tianyun dismissed them and said that he took none of those to heart.

He knew that they were new and, therefore, never saw him around.

He immediately gave a bag full of Medicinal Pill to Liu Menglian and said that she should give the pills to the new disciples as his introduction gift.

They all jumped in excitement to hear that they will get a medicinal pill to help them cultivate.

They expressed their gratitude to Yi Tianyun while he noticed that all of their Favorability Points have increased to more than a hundred.

It seemed that they already heard many stories of him to earn that much respect from them!

While he was looking at the new disciples' excited faces, Shi Xueyun's voice was quickly heard.

"Did something happen this time? Why are there no girls coming with you this time?" She said teasingly.

"Aunt! You know that I am not a player, right!" Yi Tianyun said as he immediately hugged Shi Xueyun happily.

"Aunt! Your cultivation has improved a lot!" Yi Tianyun said as he noticed that Shi Xueyun has reached 2nd Level Spirit Core!

"It is not even worth mentioning! Look at you! I must be looking weak to you!" Shi Xueyun said teasingly.

"No, don't say that! You are powerful! Don't ever think otherwise, Aunt!" Yi Tianyun said cheekily to Shi Xueyun.

"You're always like this, you really know what to say to me at the perfect moment! You are still my cheeky little Tianyun aren't you!" Shi Xueyun said teasingly to Yi Tianyun.

"Hey, why don't we go inside, aunt. I am a little bit tired after my adventure!" Yi Tianyun said while also grabbing Shi Xueyun's arm and ushered her inside.

"Hey, what did I say about forcing yourself too hard!" Shi Xueyun said, a little upset about Yi Tianyun's tiredness.

"Yeah, well, I'll do it happily for you." Yi Tianyun said while smiling playfully.

"Wouldn't you bring me with you next time? I want to see you in action!" Shi Xueyun said while puffing her cheek.

"There will be opportunities for that, Aunt! I brought many resources with me this time, I hope that it could improve the Heavenly Jade Sect for the better!" Yi Tianyun said while handling Shi Xueyun a storage ring.

Shi Xueyun immediately checked the content of the ring and immediately shouted, "Oh my god! With this many resources, you must be destroying a faction!" Shi Xueyun said with a shocked expression.

"You are right! Some factions ticked me off. So, I quickly took care of them, and I brought back the spoils of war!" Yi Tianyun said casually.

"No, you should use it yourself! This is yours, from your hard work! We aren't worthy enough to receive this!" Shi Xueyun said as she tried to give back the storage ring to Yi Tianyun.

"Don't be like that, aunt. I already got what I need from them. Therefore all of these will be wasted on me. It is for the sake of the sect too." Yi Tianyun said, assuring Shi Xueyun to accept his gift.

Shi Xueyun seemed conflicted; it was hard to accept a gift that big, knowing that the person giving the gift did so much stuff to earn it.

But finally, she sighed and accepted Yi Tianyun's offer.

"I will use this for the good of the Heavenly Jade Sect to the best of my ability." She said solemnly.

"It is okay, aunt! I know that you will be fair on managing the resources." Yi Tianyun said with a smile on his face, he didn't know that Shi Xueyun would make things that serious.

"I am doing all this to see you smile. It is so refreshing to see you smile beautifully." Yi Tianyun said teasingly.

"Yeah, I like to see you smile too. Would you be a kid again, Tianyun? I really miss you! you know!" Shi Xueyun said, now with teary eyes.

Chapter 269

Shi Xueyun was constantly thinking about Yi Tianyun's well being, she gladly strengthened Heavenly Jade Palace in order to help Yi Tianyun in the future as well.

She wanted that faction to be able to protect Yi Tianyun in the future!

"Aunt, I forgot that I need to ask you something. Did you know the exact story of the Heavenly Jade Palace's Founder?" Yi Tianyun asked excitedly.

"No, I don't know the exact story very well. I don't even know the name of the founder!" Shi Xueyun said casually.

"We can ask the Old Ancestor, maybe they know something about it." Shi Xueyun added.

They soon walked toward the cultivation place and saw one of the old ancestors was cultivating there.

Yi Tianyun noticed that the Old Ancestor's cultivation had already improved even just a little bit.

Shi Xueyun immediately asked for the Old Ancestor's insight on the founder's name.

The Old Ancestor pondered for a while, "I don't really remember about all of that, the record was already destroyed! All that I know is that the founder left the palace and left it in the hands of his closest partner, who was a woman, and thus she finally drove out all the male disciples from the Heavenly Jade Palace, and that was all I remember." The old ancestor said while thinking hard.

"Are you sure that is all? Didn't you know the name of the founder?" Yi Tianyun said frustratedly.

"Hmm, I don't know about the name, but I think that the surname is Heavenly Jade (Tianxuan) the same name as the sect." the old ancestor said as a clarification.

Yi Tianyun instantly laughed after hearing that revelation. He now had the need to merge both Heavenly Jade Sect and Heaven's Top Mansion.

Yi Tianyun immediately called Old Xuan. He knew that Old Xuan may have the next information he needed.

Old Xuan was materialized near Yi Tianyun while bowing his head in respect.

Yi Tianyun immediately asked Old Xuan for the information about the founder of Heavens Immersing Ancient Ruins. He finally told me that the name of the founder was He Tianxuan, but he had forgotten many things about him.

Old Xuan immediately remembered that there was supposed to be a painting of the first master in the hall of Heavens Immersing Ancient Ruin, but the previous master had burned it with other stuff that he deemed not worthy in the hall. He said that he could create the portrait again if they wanted to see it. He could conjure the image as he saw it in the original state.

Yi Tianyun nodded in agreement.

Old Xuan immediately conjured a painting that portrayed the image of the first master of Heavens Immersing Ancient Ruins.

They were surprised to see that such a handsome man was their founder.

"If I am correct, the founder of Heavens Immersing Ancient Ruin and Heavenly Jade Sect is the same man." Yi Tianyun said confidently.

"Old Xuan, did you have any other stories regarding the owner of this place? Maybe why did he leave the Heavenly Jade Palace." Yi Tianyun asked in curiosity.

"I am afraid, I don't know anything about this. but I remember that he was constantly apologizing about disappointing a woman." Old Xuan said while trying to remember stuff.

Yi Tianyun nodded in understanding, Old Xuan had been in that place for a long time, and he was alone. There was no telling what he did in that time, it was normal to forget some stuff in that period of time.

Chapter 270

Now, all Yi Tianyun had to do was to convey his intention to merge the two factions together. He called all the Deacon, Elder, and Old Ancestor to gather in the main hall.

"I am now a Mansion Lord of Heaven's Top Mansion. This Mansion was the original faction of the Xuan Tian Spirit King, who was also the founder of Heavens Immersing Ancient Ruins and Heavenly Jade Sect. I intend to merge the Heavenly Jade Sect and Heaven's Top Mansion into one Mansion. But I don't intend to merge the two completely. Of course, there is always a place to state your opinion about this matter and that is why we are gathering here today." Yi Tianyun said solemnly.

Yi Yuwei immediately spoke, "I don't think that I would agree if the merge fully incorporated the two factions. but if we separated the two but still under one flag, I think it's more manageable and wouldn't cause any problems later on." Yi Yuwei said confidently.

"I agree with Elder Yuwei, we already have our own pride as the Heavenly Jade Sect, we want to become stronger independently. If we merge with another faction, it would be a lot better if we still have separate management." Shi Xueyun said confidently.

"Yes, that's what I thought as well, we would become like an alliance. We will share every resource, help each other, and quite possibly join forces in many cases." Yi Tianyun said with a smile on his face.

"We will become a mansion with two doors, one is Heaven's Top Sect, and one is Heavenly Jade Sect under the name of Twin Dragon Mansion. This is the best that I can think of, how about this idea?" Yi Tianyun asked for everyone else's opinion.

They all nodded in agreement, they didn't seem to find any problem with Yi Tianyun's idea.

"So, we all agree to merge the two factions together, right?" Yi Tianyun said, asking for confirmation.

They all nodded their heads, and a yes answer was heard from all the audience.

"Good, this place is no longer the Heavens Immersing Ancient Ruins. From now on, this place will be renamed the Heavenly Jade Temple! But unfortunately, I couldn't move this place just yet. Therefore the merge would be postponed for some time until this place was ready to move." Yi Tianyun said excitedly.

They looked at Yi Tianyun in surprise, they didn't know that place could move!

But seeing Yi Tianyun's achievements, they knew that Yi Tianyun wouldn't lie about that.

As there was nothing else to talk about, they dispersed, resuming their routine while Yi Tianyun walked to find the Great Array that needed to be fixed.

The first array that he found was the one in the Heavenly Soul Tower, it was an array that collected the Spiritual Energy around the ruins and then compacted into that tower. He began to engrave the necessary Divine Rune to fix the array as he found that array was perfect for the cultivation of the disciples of Heavenly Jade Sect!

While he was lost in thought over drawing the Divine Rune, Yi Tianyun finally noticed another person standing near him, observing him!

It was none other than Jiu Lingyun!

Yi Tianyun quickly smiled and asked if she needed anything from him, to which she immediately said no, she was intrigued to see Yi Tianyun engrave the Divine Rune. She saw that Yi Tianyun's Divine Rune was like a work of art! She apologized if her presence was bothering Yi Tianyun.

"No, why would you be a bother? If you want to watch, you are welcome to do so. This great array was an array to gather the Spiritual Energy around Heavens Immersing Ancient Ruins. If this array was fixed, the cultivation's speed in this place would increase exponentially." Yi Tianyun said, explaining the use of the array in front of them.

"You are amazing, Brother Yi! I have learned Divine Rune as best as I could for quite some time. Finally, I could engrave some Divine Rune, but it is still too small! Can you check it for me, see if there's anything wrong with it?" Jiu Lingyun said excitedly.

"Of course, no problem." Yi Tianyun said with a smile on his face.

Jiu Lingyun immediately led the way to her room, and she immediately engraved a Divine Rune on a piece of common Divine Rune Paper, the Divine Rune that she made was similar to the effect of the Great Array on the Heavenly Soul Tower earlier, but the effect was far less effective!

But there was no doubt in Yi Tianyun's mind that Jiu Lingyun was a genius in the Divine Rune department!

"You are amazing, Sister Jiu! From now on, I will teach you how to modify and make a Divine Rune that you could use daily." Yi Tianyun said excitedly.

"Really? You will do that for me? Yay! Thank you very much, Big Brother Yi!" Jiu Lingyun said excitedly.

'DING'

'Started a hidden quest [Saintess Training Program]!'

'Completion reward: 1.000.000 Exp, 50.000 CPs, 100 PPs, 1.000 Divine Rune MPs.'

Yi Tianyun was a bit startled to see that he got another Hidden Quest, but it was so much welcomed! It seemed that teaching Jiu Lingyun to become a Saintess would be a quest on its own!

Chapter 271

When the quest appears, Yi Tianyun knows that he can get a lot of reward for helping Jiu Lingyun cultivate, and he can also cultivate his Divine Rune Proficiency along the way.

"Big Brother Yi, am I already doing right until this point?" Jiu Lingyun asked as she doesn't know what to do anymore.

"Yeah, you are correct so far. Now, I will teach you another way of engraving a more powerful rune!" Yi Tianyun said confidently.

After teaching Jiu Lingyun several techniques, Yi Tianyun was a little bit surprised. He doesn't know that Jiu Lingyun was able to understand all of his teachings, but at the same time, she still struggles to turn the theory into practice.

After a round of practice, Yi Tianyun gave Jiu Lingyun a Divine Rune Paper and Divine Rune Stroke for her accomplishment while saying that in the future she would be the master of Divine Rune and she would be the one teaching others in the future.

"Are you serious about giving me all this, Big Brother? This Divine Rune Stroke is a Soul Tool Rank! I can't just receive something like this just like that." Jiu Lingyun said, feeling unsure of the gift.

"It is okay, Lingyun. You can have all that. Don't overthink and keep practicing. You will be a great teacher in the future."

"Thank you very much, Big Brother Yi! I will treasure this Divine Rune Stroke, and I will work hard to meet your expectations! I will make you proud in the future!" She said as she clutched her new Divine Rune Stroke tightly.

"Don't worry now. Let's make more of this Divine Rune so that the disciple has another place to cultivate." Yi Tianyun said as he started to make several 3rd Grade Divine Rune.

If what he envisioned works, the hall would become a more powerful cultivation place than the Heavenly Soul Tower.

Several hours passed, and they finished filling the hall with so many 3rd Grade Divine Rune.

Jiu Lingyun was already exhausted from constantly engraving the Divine Rune.

Yi Tianyun felt a little bit proud of what they had accomplished, and immediately wanted to try to activate the Divine Rune to test the effect.

As they activated the Divine Rune, the place quickly filled with so much Spiritual Energy that Yi Tianyun was satisfied to see.

Jiu Lingyun immediately excused herself, saying that she would let the disciple know of this new cultivation place and would let them use it immediately.

Yi Tianyun smiled at Jiu Lingyun and let her do what she wanted to do. Yi Tianyun immediately started to engrave more Divine Rune to make another cultivation room just like this one, so when the Heavenly Jade Sect has many more disciples in the future, there would be a lot of space to cultivate.

But that is not all, with this, he could improve his own Divine Rune Proficiency faster and with a reason too!

Not long after that, Yi Tianyun was finally able to level up his Divine Rune Proficiency!

'DING'

'Successfully promote the [Divine Rune Proficiency] to Master Level.'

'Next Promote required 500.000 Mastery Point.'

With the level up, his speed on engraving the Divine Rune was so much faster than before! At the same time, Jiu Lingyun has returned with many disciples, and as soon as they see Yi Tianyun engraving the Divine Rune to the wall, they are all shocked to see the speed of Yi Tianyun's work.

"Wow, he engraves the runes so fast! Is this the power of Elder Yi?" The disciple all said in awe.

"Yes, this is the power of Elder Yi, the real Divine Rune Master. He had made this room for you to cultivate, we hope that this room would be useful in the future!" Jiu Lingyun said excitedly.

The disciple keeps looking at Yi Tianyun in awe, and not long after that, a new notification comes in Yi Tianyun's mind.

'DING'

'Congratulation to host for obtaining a title [Admired by a Thousand People!]'

'Title Effect: Improve the Command Value to 100. Command Value was used to determine the possibility of ordering someone without any resistance.'

Chapter 272

Yi Tianyun was interested in that title; with that title, he could make all his speech more convincing to the ear of the audience.

It was normal to have someone with a high commanding skill to take charge.

That commanding point worked precisely like that.

He basically could influence others with little to no effort.

After finishing another cultivation hall, Yi Tianyun went to the Flight Great Array. He immediately fixed the array thoroughly.

After several hours, Yi Tianyun finally fixed all the outer Divine Rune around the Flight Great Array.

Next, he needed to fix the Divine Rune. Inside the room, he finally noticed six crevices that seemed to be used to hold something.

After some investigation, Yi Tianyun knew that he needed to put six huge Jade Spirit Stone in the respective crevices.

This Jade Spirit Stone seemed to be some sort of energy source for the Flight Great Array. He knew that the amount of Jade Spirit Stone would be expensive, but at least it was not impossible to find. He knew that Star Pavilion would have them in their storage to sell.

Without further ado, he started fixing every single Divine Rune inside the Flight Great Array. At the same time, Old Xuan came to Yi Tianyun's side.

"Master, you want to fix this Flight Great Array?" Old Xuan asked curiously.

"Yes, I know that this array required a different master leveled Divine Rune Master. But I am confident that I have achieved just that." Yi Tianyun said confidently.

Old Xuan was surprised that Yi Tianyun was already able to fix the Flight Great Array. He stepped aside to let Yi Tianyun focus on fixing the Divine Rune.

Yi Tianyun immediately activated his Heavenly Eyes, allowing him to see the flow of Divine Rune very clearly. He fixed the Flight Great Array with amazing speed.

Old Xuan, on the other hand, was horrified by Yi Tianyun's ability. He was already a Master tier Divine Rune Master at such a young age!

Several days had passed, and Yi Tianyun finally fixed all Divine Rune on the Flight Great Array. Yi Tianyun finally breathed in relief; it was a huge task to fix that Great Array by himself.

Now, the Flight Great Array glowed gloriously, which looked really different from before it was fixed.

"Master, you actually fixed them all!" Old Xuan said with a shocked look on his face.

"What? Do you think I would lie for this?" Yi Tianyun said while rolling his eyes.

'DING'

'Successfully repaired all the Array on Heavens Immersing Ancient Ruins!'

.

'Reward: 1.000.000 Exp, 10.000 Divine Rune MPs.'

'DING'

'Successfully completed the first stage of the main quest [Promote Heavenly Jade Palace into Heavenly Jade Mansion and Move to Heavenly Border Continent!]'

'Next Stage quest progress: Spirit Core Cultivator 1/5, Core Condensation Cultivator 6/50, Spirit Refinement Cultivator 80/600.'

'As the host has reached a Core Transformation stage, the quest requirement has been halved!'

'Next Stage progress: Spirit Core Cultivator 1/3, Core Condensation Cultivator 6/25, Spirit Refinement Cultivator 80/300!'

He was a little bit startled to see that the requirement of the next stage has been halved because of his Cultivation level. He now had to think of a way to speed up others' cultivation. He was thinking of a way to transfer the disciples needed from Heaven's Top Mansion to Heavenly Jade Sect for the sake of finishing that quest!

Chapter 273

Yi Tianyun was eager to find a Jade Spirit Stone that could fit the crevice in the wall.

He thought moving the Heaven Immersing Ancient Ruins as soon as possible was definitely necessary.

He knew that the situation would be chaotic later on.

One of the reasons why he needed to move the Heavenly Jade Sect into the Heavenly Border Continent quickly was to finish his main quest.

He knew that once the Heavenly Jade Sect had merged with Heaven's Top Mansion, his mission would be instantly completed!

He immediately said goodbye to Shi Xueyun as he will be returning to Heaven's Top Mansion for the moment.

After that, he quickly flew back to Heaven's Top Mansion, and he immediately checked for anything different in his absence.

Yi Tianyun quickly looked for the Great Elder, and once he found the Great Elder, he immediately asked for any news while he was away.

The Great Elder immediately said that the news of the Netherworld Empire's building having been destroyed finally spread through the continent like wildfire.

The Great Elder also said that everyone was now afraid that the Netherworld Empire wouldn't be satisfied since they hadn't found the culprit and decided to destroy that continent.

Yi Tianyun quickly nodded his head; he knew that news would spread and the fact that Yi Tianyun and the Great Elder wouldn't be able to show their faces in public.

The Great Elder also informed Yi Tianyun that the Netherworld Empire themselves was currently investigating the Divine Rune Mansion incident.

They were curious about how a mid-level faction like that could be destroyed overnight.

Yi Tianyun smiled a little after hearing the news; he knew that the Netherworld Empire would reach nothing but another dead end investigating the Divine Rune Mansion's incident.

Yi Tianyun also asked the Great Elder how things were going in Heaven's Top Mansion.

The Great Elder immediately said that everything has been going smoothly so far, there was no more trouble involving the disciples.

He also said that the resources they got from destroying Divine Rune Mansion and the Netherworld Empire's Palace were used and sold as little as possible so as not to draw any attention towards them.

But the Great Elder regretfully admitted that there was no new disciple who wanted to join the Mansion.

Yi Tianyun only smiled at the Great Elder and said that it was fine, they will get new disciples as soon as they finalized the merge of the factions.

Yi Tianyun informed the Great Elder on what has happened so far in Heavenly Jade Sect the other day.

The Great Elder was looking forward to the merge between the two factions, he knew that with the new system, the place would be livelier and disciples would be more diverse.

After hearing and saying stuff that he needed, Yi Tianyun excused himself as he had to buy something from Star Pavilion.

He quickly left and headed towards Star Pavilion's direction, he must get his hands on the Jade Spirit Stone to finalize his plan!

He didn't forget to wear the Thousand Face Mask to avoid being identified along the way.

As soon as he arrived at the Star Pavilion, a beautiful woman welcomed him while asking if he needed any help with finding anything.

Yi Tianyun quickly conveyed his intention to buy a fair amount of Large Jade Spirit Stone.

Yi Tianyun's Sword made the woman very excited.

She asked how big would Yi Tianyun wanted, Yi Tianyun knew that the woman would be given a commission for a percentage that she sold.

So, hearing that someone would buy something so expensive, she couldn't help but be excited.

Yi Tianyun said that he needed a dozen Jade Spirit Stones, around 100 lbs.

The woman was surprised to hear Yi Tianyun's words, and she quickly apologized to Yi Tianyun that they didn't have any Jade Spirit Stone of that size.

She said that the largest stone that Star Pavilion had was 30 lbs.

Yi Tianyun frowned; he didn't think that a pavilion at that caliber wouldn't have any Jade Spirit Stone that he needed.

So, he decided to ask the woman again for confirmation if they really don't have the stone that he searched for.

She apologized once again and said that the 30 lbs were already the largest she could find.

Yi Tianyun said he was not interested in buying the small Jade Spirit Stone and decided to leave immediately.

However, once he was already halfway to the exit, a new woman came out and told Yi Tianyun to wait.

She quickly explained that the Jade Spirit Stone that Yi Tianyun was searching for maybe could be found in the auction house.

She heard that they would be auctioning a 200 lbs jade Spirit Stone there.

Yi Tianyun was really happy to hear that, and while hearing the woman talk, he felt somehow familiar with that woman.

Chapter 274

Yi Tianyun felt somewhat familiar about that woman, but he couldn't remember anything about her, but as soon as they entered the auction building, she was quickly welcomed by another waitress calling her Young Lady Li.

Yi Tianyun immediately figured out that she was none other than Li Tianlong's daughter.

After knowing that, Yi Tianyun quickly asked her to take him to the VIP room to take a look at the catalog.

She quickly led the way, she didn't know that as soon as she and Yi Tianyun headed to the VIP room, the waitress immediately badmouthed her as she was stealing customers even though she wasn't particularly in need of money.

Her friends immediately shushed her as if she was ever found out badmouthing the Pavilion Lord's daughter; she will lose her job or even worse!

Yi Tianyun heard those women badmouthing the woman in front of him, and he knew that she probably heard it too, but Yi Tianyun didn't understand why she just pretended as if nothing happened.

Yi Tianyun decided to let it slide as it was none of his business.

Soon they reached the VIP room, and Li Ya, as Yi Tianyun finally knew the name of the woman who guided him inside, quickly told Yi Tianyun to sit down and immediately asked again for what Yi Tianyun needed as a confirmation.

"I need a Jade Spirit Stone at least around 50 or 60 lbs. I won't take anything below that." Yi Tianyun said confidently.

"You are in luck, Young Master. Someone is currently auctioning a Huge Jade Spirit Stone to Star Pavilion. There are at least 5 to 6 pieces of it which weigh over 200 lbs! Do you want to join the auction, Young Master?" Li Ya asked politely.

"Great! I am satisfied with this revelation! Now, is there anything I need to know before joining?" Yi Tianyun said quickly.

"Yes, it seems that the one who sells the Jade Spirit Stone to us wants it to be sold as a whole. So, in a way, it will be extremely expensive." Li Ya said with a regretful look.

"No problem, there will be no problem when it comes to that. Can a soul tool be a trade resource?" Yi Tianyun said casually.

"Oh, that is okay, Young Master. We indeed use the Soul Tool as the main price, for the auction, it is for fairness as gold price easily fluctuates." Li Ya said politely.

"I am sorry to ask, but do you need those Jade Spirit Stones to create a Great Array?" Li Ya asked curiously.

"Yes, I was planning to use it on a Great Array. Is there any problem with that?" Yi Tianyun asked.

"No, there is no problem at all. It is just my stupid curiosity. If Young Master is a Divine Rune Master, may I recommend you to join us, Star Pavilion? You could also become our Guest Elder if you want, we will give you a fair treatment, that I can assure you!" Li Ya said while coercing Yi Tianyun to join the Star Pavilion.

Yi Tianyun knew that Li Ya was inviting him to join the Star Pavilion for her own merits.

The more expert she could invite, the higher her standing in the pavilion will be!

"I am very sorry, but I can't accept your invitation for the moment as I will be busy for the next couple of months. Maybe next time." Yi Tianyun said politely.

Yi Tianyun saw that Li Ya was a little bit disappointed that Yi Tianyun rejected her offer, but she quickly cast her disappointment aside and flashed Yi Tianyun her bright smile again while saying that it was okay and that he could come again anytime if he ever wanted to join the Star Pavilion.

She immediately asked Yi Tianyun to bring out the Soul Tool that will use as payment later.

She said that someone has deliberately lied to Star Pavilion about having a certain amount of Soul Tool, but in the end, they ran away after they couldn't pay the fixed amount.

Yi Tianyun said that it was not a problem and quickly took out a bunch of High-Grade Soul Tools to the floor near them while saying those were just part of his armory and asked Li Ya if those were enough for confirmation.

Li Ya's eyes quickly lit up and nodded her head, confirming that the amount was enough for now, and she will direct Yi Tianyun to the VIP room of the Auction Hall immediately.

Chapter 275

After Li Ya left him alone in the VIP room, Yi Tianyun calmly sipped his tea while waiting for the auction to begin. He noticed that the cultivators from all over the place were coming one by one.

The auction will start soon, he knew that much after seeing that the auction hall was already packed with cultivators.

Soon enough, Li Ya entered the stage. She seemed to be the auctioneer for that occasion; she announced that the auction would start in a minute and that the bidder could buy whatever they wished. She announced it with a smile on her face while also signaling her staff to bring up the first item.

But like in the hallway with Yi Tianyun earlier, Li Ya once again got another uncomfortable stares and rumors from the cultivators in the auction hall.

They were all saying that Li Ya was an incompetent cultivator, and she was there as a gift from Pavilion Lord Li because she couldn't do anything else.

Li Ya heard it all, but she tried her best to ignore it. She felt awkward after hearing it all, but she wanted to maintain her professionalism and continued the auction without any hindrance.

She immediately announced the first treasure to auction, and that was a Middle-Grade Soul Tool Heavenly Cold Jade Sword with 4th Grade Extreme Cold Divine Rune on it.

That sword will create a blast of ice wave as it is swung; it was an amazing weapon for cultivators with an ice affinity.

The starting bid was 1.000 Jade Spirit Stone with a minimum increment of 100.

After she said all that, everyone was getting excited, especially the cultivators with ice affinity.

The price was steadily going up, and Yi Tianyun noticed that the weapon would eventually be expensive at the end of the day.

But he didn't have any interest in buying that one, he could make it himself!

Even the Divine Rune was not something that special!

After the sword, there were at least 20 more items that have been sold to the bidder, and the Jade Spirit Stone that Yi Tianyun was searching for finally will be auctioned!

The Jade Spirit Stone was ranked 3rd of the most expensive items that the auction will sell, and therefore it will be auctioned at the latter half!

The last two items that were more expensive than the Jade Spirit Stone were supposed to be a medicinal type item, and the last one was unknown.

Yi Tianyun didn't particularly care about the last two items, with his ability to Forge Weapon and Armor, and to refine Medicinal Pills, he thought that it was a hassle to buy anything of that sort. He could create it himself if he really needed it!

In the VIP room, while waiting for the Jade Spirit Stone to show up Yi Tianyun brought out his refining tools and began to refine many Lower Grade Soul Tools, he thought that was the best time to refine some as he was bored of waiting! He will be able to refine Middle-Grade Soul Tools and High-Grade Soul Tools eventually!

He knew that refining a Medicinal Pills and Refining Weapon and Armor will have a significant impact on the improvement of his Faction later on. He kept refining until he heard Li Ya sounded excited once again.

"The next item is mainly for Divine Rune Master. I believe that everyone has already known the item, and that is the Huge Jade Spirit Stone! It has a variable weight to it as the lowest is 200 lbs, and the highest is 300 lbs. I believe this Jade Spirit Stone is essential for creating a Great Array!" Li Ya said excitedly while also pulling out the cover for the Jade Spirit Stone.

The cultivators were all excited to see that Jade Spirit Stone finally showed up, but there were not that many who were excited enough since there were only a few Divine Rune Masters among the crowds, and the Huge Jade Spirit Stone had a little to no value to the cultivator who wasn't a Divine Rune Master.

"Unfortunately, the seller doesn't want to sell these stones per piece and thus has to be auctioned as one item, because of that, the price will be higher, and this time the main currency would be a Soul Tool! A lower Grade Soul Tool would be used as the default currency. Middle-Grade Soul Tool would equal to 30 Lower Grade Soul Tool, and High-Grade Soul Tool would be equal to 100 Lower Grade Soul Tool. The starting price is 10 Lower Grade Soul Tool with an increment of 10! Let the bid start!" Li Ya said excitedly.

Many excited cultivators started to raise the price as they saw fit while Yi Tianyun was still waiting for his turn to come.

Chapter 276

The whole place was surprised to hear that the Jade Spirit Stone's price has reached 200 Lower Grade Soul Tools!

But it was not over yet, someone from the VIP room next to Yi Tianyun also bid 300 Lower Grade Soul Tool as their price, which caused continuous increment bidding price among the crowds.

Then a meek voice came from another VIP room, increasing the price to 500 Lower Grade Soul Tool.

Many people were shocked to hear that price.

They didn't see that much increment coming!

Yi Tianyun knew that was his time to bid and immediately said that he would bid for 800 Lower Grade Soul Tool!

Yi Tianyun's price has silenced everyone in the hall; it was way too much for the Jade Spirit Stone!

Everyone looked at the VIP room where Yi Tianyun currently sat; they wanted to see the face of the rich guy who managed to silence them!

Li Ya knew that voice belonged to the Young Master that she invited in herself, she knew that he was a rich man, but even she didn't expect that he had that much money on him!

From the VIP room next to Yi Tianyun, he heard another bid from a young man's voice saying he will pay 810 Lower Grade Soul Tool for the Jade Spirit Stone.

That young man also talked in a threatening way to Yi Tianyun, saying that he was from the Divine Rune Division of Netherworld Empire and he really wanted the Jade Spirit Stone for the Netherworld Empire, he also said that if Yi Tianyun still increased the price to buy the stone, the Netherworld Empire will punish him for that.

Yi Tianyun sighed as he heard the man speak, and immediately after the young man's speech, he increased the price once again to 850 Lower Grade Soul Tool!

The man who threatened Yi Tianyun before fell silent due to Yi Tianyun's unexpected course of action!

Not only did Yi Tianyun increase the price once again, but he also ignored him completely!

Didn't he know who he was!

He was Li Hao of the Netherworld Empire!

He will make sure Yi Tianyun paid for that humiliation!

No one else dared to bid as everyone realized that the price was already too high!

"You know what! Have it your way then, buy it for me. As soon as you leave the Star Pavilion, I will surely take what is mine!" Li Hao said for only Yi Tianyun to hear.

Yi Tianyun's face became cold.

As expected of the Netherworld Empire's scum.

They sure knew how to make his blood boil.

If that man really picked a fight with him afterward, Yi Tianyun will make sure to kill him in the most brutal way!

Li Ya then proceeded to make sure there was no other bidder who wanted to bid for the Jade Spirit Stone and then closed it while saying the Jade Spirit Stones were successfully bought by the Young Master at the VIP room!

Many people craned their necks to see who the man capable of buying the stone with such a high price was!

Normal people, even a rich one, won't be able to buy a Jade Spirit Stone with that price!

It was simply too much for the right mind!

However, Yi Tianyun was satisfied that he finally got his hands on the Jade Spirit Stone.

He wasn't afraid to spend his resources on the things that he needed!

If he didn't have any Soul Tool left after that, he just needed to find another Netherworld Empire's headquarters and destroy it while also looting the place to his heart's content!

Right after the Jade Spirit Stone, Li Ya immediately brought another item to the stage.

The item was covered with red clothes to cover the aura of the item.

"These are the medicinal pills, which are very useful for any faction. These Medicinal Pills are called Spirit Congealing Pills! It can help the Spirit Refinement Cultivator breakthrough to the Core Condensation stage! It will 100% level up a Spirit Refinement Peak Stage Cultivator to Core Condensation immediately while having a 50% chance for the 9th layer Spirit Refinement cultivator. This auction has a total of 5 pills, which will be sold as a whole!" Li Ya said excitedly.

When she finished her speech, everyone had a surprised look on their face.

That meant the pill could help 5 Spirit refinement cultivators break through to Core Condensation Cultivators!...

Chapter 277

After looking at the Spirit Congealing Pill, Yi Tianyun became very excited.

In normal people's eyes, that Spirit Congealing Pill would only be another 5 Core Condensation Stage experts, but for Yi Tianyun with Appraisal Eye, Yi Tianyun would be able to create an infinite amount of Core Condensation Stage experts!

Using Appraisal Eye, he would be able to know the recipes of these Medicinal Pills! He will make sure to get his hands on that pill!

"For this item, I would allow payment with Medicinal Pill, Soul Tool, and Jade Spirit Stone. The price will start at 5.000 Jade Spirit Stones, with 500 Jade Spirit Stone increments. Let the bidding start!" Li Ya said confidently.

Yi Tianyun immediately raised the price to 10.000 Jade Spirit Stone immediately after Li Ya opened the bidding. Someone from the VIP room, the same as Yi Tianyun, quickly raised the price to 11.000 to surpass Yi Tianyun's bid. Yi Tianyun shook his head and immediately raised the price to 15.000 Jade Spirit Stone!

Many people were surprised by Yi Tianyun's eagerness to buy the pill; he outbid his opponent like it was nothing to increase the price outrageously.

Someone from the VIP room tried once more to raise the bid to 16.000 Jade Spirit Stone, but Yi Tianyun immediately called 20.000 to outbid them again!

That much Jade Spirit Stone for 5 Spirit Congealing Pills was just outrageous!

The price was not worth 5 Spirit Congealing Pills at all!

Li Ya looked around the room as everyone fell silent after hearing Yi Tianyun's outrageous price, she started to count down as a sign that if nobody else bid by the time she finished counting down, the pills will be sold to Yi Tianyun!

After a moment, she immediately announced that Yi Tianyun was the rightful buyer of the 5 Spirit Congealing Pills!

Once again, everyone in the room wanted to sneak a peek of the mysterious rich man's face!

They didn't have any clue on who the mysterious man was, they didn't even know if the man was from the Heavenly Border Continent or not!

Li Ya immediately stole everyone's attention again as she brought out the last item for that day. She told everyone that the last item was a treasure worthy of being a household treasure! She immediately lifted the red veil that covered the last item in the box!

Everyone was awed immediately after seeing the shining crystal ball!

"This is the Heavenly Spirit Treasure! This crystal ball will increase the cultivation of the holder roughly 30% of the normal speed! I believe you cultivators know what it means! It means that you will have a faster cultivation rate than the others! This item does not have any restriction, meaning that even a Core Transformation expert would still be able to increase their cultivation speed by 30%!" Li Ya said excitedly.

Immediately after Li Ya's explanation, the Auction Hall fell into an uproar!

All of the cultivators in the room wanted to have this item!

Li Ya was very satisfied to see that commotion; she was convinced that this item would be sold at a higher price. She immediately told everyone that the price will start at 50.000 Jade Spirit Stone and that the bid immediately started!

Many bidders immediately increased the price of the items simultaneously.

But in the VIP room, Yi Tianyun watched the uproar in silence while sipping his tea. He wasn't interested in having the last item, for it was barely useful for him. But he wouldn't mind buying it if the price was reasonable!

Chapter 278

Yi Tianyun hasn't bid for the last item, which quickly made Li Ya a little bit disappointed. She thought that with Yi Tianyun in here, she would get a much higher price.

But even without Yi Tianyun's bid, the item's price still rose quite high.

After a while, the price stopped at 90,000 Jade Spirit Stone, which made Li Ya satisfied enough.

"Now that all the items were sold, I hope that everyone is satisfied and will come back for our next auction!" Li Ya said while slightly bowing to the entire bidder.

"As for the winner, please come to the office after this to receive the treasure that you won, of course, don't forget the payment." Li Ya said while smiling lightly.

Yi Tianyun immediately left the room calmly as he didn't have anything else to do in the room. As he walked out, he was immediately stopped by Li Hao!

Yi Tianyun sighed as he didn't want to cause trouble, but it seemed the trouble always followed him anywhere he went.

He asked what Li Hao's purpose was for stopping him like that.

Li Hao immediately asked from which faction was Yi Tianyun from and Yi Tianyun immediately answered that he didn't belong to any, which made Li Hao threatened him to hand over the Jade Spirit Stone that Yi Tianyun won earlier to him as soon as Yi Tianyun took it from the Star Pavilion, if Yi Tianyun didn't give it to him, he will make sure that Yi Tianyun would receive the punishment from the Netherworld Empire!

Yi Tianyun sighed once again and said that he didn't care even if the Netherworld Empire themselves came; he won't give up the Jade Spirit Stone to him.

Li Hao immediately sneered at Yi Tianyun and said that he would like to see how long Yi Tianyun could hold on to that Jade Spirit Stone.

Li Hao left immediately; Yi Tianyun just shrugged and walked toward the auction office behind the auction's hall.

In the back, Yi Tianyun saw a bunch of people were in the middle of finishing their payment for the treasure they won in the auction earlier. He noticed that Li Hao was also there, and he looked at Yi Tianyun with a cold expression and a little bit of killing intent seeping through.

Yi Tianyun ignored Li Hao as he proceeded to find Li Ya for his item.

After finding Li Ya, Yi Tianyun immediately greeted her, and she excitedly welcomed Yi Tianyun to the office.

Li Ya immediately introduced Yi Tianyun to the middle-aged man that Li Ya said was the seller of the Jade Spirit Stone. He asked Yi Tianyun how Yi Tianyun would pay for the Jade Spirit Stone that he bought; it would be too much Low-Grade Soul Tool if Yi Tianyun chose to pay with those!

Yi Tianyun immediately said that he would pay with High-Grade Soul Tools as it would be less annoying than a Low Grade or Middle Grade Soul Tool!

Yi Tianyun immediately took out a High-Grade Soul Tool from his inventory for the man to be checked.

The man noticed that the knife didn't have any Divine Rune in it, to which Yi Tianyun answered that it would be better for the man to use a Divine Rune that he preferred, which would make the Soul Tools more distinct!

After observing the Soul Tool for a little while, the man nodded his head and said that he liked the knife and would value it as much as 160 Low Grade Soul Tools.

Yi Tianyun was very satisfied to hear the man's appraisal.

That continued back and forth until the man had a few High Grade Soul Tools that he appraised himself to be the same value as the Jade Spirit Stone's price in the auction!

The man was satisfied to receive the High-Grade Soul Tools from Yi Tianyun and said that he was an elder from the Nirvana Mansion and would like to deal another business with Yi Tianyun in the next auction if there was any chance for it.

Yi Tianyun nodded his head and said that he would be happy if there was an opportunity for it in the future.

After concluding the deal for the Jade Spirit Stone, Yi Tianyun quickly settled the deal for the Spirit Congealing Pill. The Pills were refined and sold by an alchemist that soon was satisfied after receiving Yi Tianyun's payment.

Seeing that Yi Tianyun was obviously a rich man, Li Hao's eyes were showing greed! He thought that he would make a fortune after dealing with Yi Tianyun later!

Chapter 279

Yi Tianyun has finished all the transactions related to the auction as he already had his Spirit Congealing Pills and the Jade Spirit Stones. He wanted to get back immediately to immediately refine many more Spirit Congealing Pills to create more Core Condensation Stage disciples.

"Young Master, that Heavenly Spirit Treasure, you have no interest?" Li Ya asked curiously.

"I don't have much interest in this kind of treasure." He answered that the item was little to no use for him as he smiled not to disappoint Li Ya.

"Well, no matter what, this cooperation is enjoyable." Li Ya smiled and said, "Does the Young Master want to stay for a while in Star Pavilion?"

Li Ya already prepared a private room that Yi Tianyun could use while he stayed in Star Pavilion.

"Miss Li, why have you become so kind to me all of a sudden?" Yi Tianyun wondered.

Li Ya immediately answered it was because Yi Tianyun provoked the Netherworld Empire earlier by not losing on purpose while bidding the Jade Spirit Stone, she was afraid that Li Hao would do something outrageous to Yi Tianyun on his way back.

Yi Tianyun nodded and let Li Ya know that there was nothing to worry about; he would take care of himself if the situation called for it.

Yi Tianyun smiled after rejecting Li Ya's offer and left the Auction Building premise.

Li Ya saw that Li Hao amicably followed Yi Tianyun with a smirk on his face while also keeping a little distance away.

Li Ya was still worried even with Yi Tianyun's assurance that he will be fine; she didn't know that Yi Tianyun, in fact, wanted Li Hao to follow him so that Yi Tianyun could replenish some Soul Tools that he used to bid earlier.

When he walked toward the gate, an ordinary looking woman stopped him. He was a little surprised to see the woman stop him like that, he knew that woman was one of the bidders for the Jade Spirit Stone in another VIP room earlier. He asked if there was anything that the woman wanted from him.

Yi Tianyun also looked at the woman's stat through his Appraisal Eye, and he was quite surprised to see that the woman was full of spirit related items!

Yi Tianyun was curious after seeing that, he immediately speculated that the woman was from the Spirit Clan! He couldn't help but wonder how Xiao Qingxuan was doing right now.

"Can I buy your two Jade Spirit Stones?" The woman said.

Yi Tianyun noticed that the woman didn't harbor any ill intent towards him, and her tone was gentle leading him to the conclusion that the woman wasn't someone from the Spirit Race's Traitor!

Knowing that little bit of information, Yi Tianyun decided to test it. He asked what the lady could offer for his Jade Spirit Stone, "Oh, what do you have?"

"I can engrave 5th Grade Divine Rune for you."

Yi Tianyun knew immediately that his assumption was spot on; she proved that she was at least a 5th Grade Divine Rune Master, and in this world, only Spirit Race could reach 5th Grade Divine Rune Master at such a young age.

"Are you really sure you only need two?"

"Yes, I only need two of them. How is it? I can give you an additional Soul Tool if you want."

Yi Tianyun didn't see any loss on doing so while he only needed 4 of them, and there were 6 in total that he won earlier.

"Okay, but I don't need your things. Give me information."

The woman took interest immediately, "What is it?"

Yi Tianyun immediately said, "What is the current situation in Spirit Race?"

After hearing Yi Tianyun's request, the woman froze! She will not be willing to sell out her own people for something like that; she didn't know Yi Tianyun and, therefore, couldn't trust him!

"This Young Master… I don't know anything about Spirit Race."

Yi Tianyun understood her unwillingness to sell out her people to some stranger.

"It seems that you are not willing to say something." Yi Tianyun smiled lightly, "In fact, I have a friend in Spirit Race, just want to find out the news, don't be so nervous. Since you do not want to say anything, I will not force you."

"Then give me your Storage Ring."

The woman was surprised to hear Yi Tianyun asking for her Storage Ring and immediately did as Yi Tianyun asked.

Yi Tianyun transferred two of the six Jade Spirit Stones to the woman's storage ring and gave it back to the woman.

"Done."

She was surprised to see two of the large Jade Spirit Stones were already inside of her storage.

Without thinking, the woman handed another storage ring to Yi Tianyun, "This for payment. I don't want to be indebted to anyone."

She immediately left as she really had some urgent matter that she needed to resolve.

Yi Tianyun checked for the content of the Storage Ring and saw that it was full of Soul Tools and Divine Rune engraving.

The total value of the items inside the ring was more than the value of the two Jade Spirit Stones that Yi Tianyun had given the woman!

Chapter 280

Yi Tianyun shook his head after seeing the content of the storage ring that the lady gave to him. The lady was too honest for her own good! Yi Tianyun really didn't need any payment at all! Plus, he knew that Li Hao had to see the exchange earlier, and Tianyun knew that Li Hao would be targeting her soon!

But as he turned around, he saw that Li Hao was still near him and sneering in triumph.

Yi Tianyun frowned. He couldn't help but wonder whether Li Hao had already sent his people to chase after the woman earlier. Yi Tianyun had a bad hunch for once and immediately tracked the woman's spiritual power using his Appraisal Eye. He saw that Li Hao also had left, and he quickly felt a sense of foreboding in the woman's regard!

After searching for a while, he immediately found out that the woman had reached the outside gate of Star Pavilion and had already prepared a big eagle to fly out of the place. However, Yi Tianyun quickly noticed a few men walking toward the woman in a menacing manner. As they approached the lady, they quickly stopped her from leaving the place as one of them quickly took control of the eagle's rein.

The woman was visibly palled after seeing what those men did in front of her. She knew that these men were up to no good! "Lady, can you possibly be generous enough and give us what the young man had given to you earlier?" one of the menacing men said flirtatiously. "If you don't want to give it to us, I assure you we will get a little bit rough!" The man said again with a playful glint in his eyes.

Unfortunately for this woman, she already crossed Star Pavilion's gate! She no longer had the protection of the Star Pavilion once she was outside of their land! She needs to find a way to escape these men's clutches!

"What young man? I didn't know any. I didn't receive anything from anyone while in the Star Pavilion earlier." The woman said calmly.

The man that spoke earlier smirked and immediately ordered the rest of the men that he came with to search the eagle for any of the woman's belongings while the man walked towards her saying that he would be searching for her himself!

Hearing that the man was set on finding the Jade Spirit Stone that she received from the young man earlier, her complexion palled. She quickly took out two Divine Talismans and immediately threw it at the men, and as the talisman hit the men, it exploded on impact!

The power of the explosion was equal to the attack of a Peak Core Condensation Stage cultivator, and those men were instantly flung far away from her and the eagle. She immediately rode the big eagle and quickly flew away to escape. But as soon as the eagle took flight, a big wave hit the eagle and killed it on the spot!

The lady fell down to the ground, seeing she could no longer escape through the air while using the Big Eagle, she quickly ran back towards the gate to receive Star Pavilion protection once again! She curse herself for her impatient, she could have waited for several days at the Star Pavilion until she was sure enough that the situation has calmed down before leaving, she regretted her impulsive decision as she knew that Li Hao was in vicinity!

But her effort was futile! As she got close to Star Pavilion's gate, Li Hao immediately grabbed her hands and threw her back towards the big eagle's corpse.

"Was it a Detonation Divine Talisman that I saw just now?" He said with an excited eye.

"You are from the Spirit Race, aren't you?" Li Hao said excitedly.

The woman chose to stay silent as she looked at Li Hao in disgust!

"You don't need to say anything, I already know that you are one of the Spirit Race! There is no way anyone would have that Detonation Divine Talisman as it was Spirit Race's signature defense charm." Li Hao said while smirking triumphantly. "Now, you have to come with me, I assure you that the Netherworld Empire will take good care of you and you can meet all of your people that were already there to begin with!" Li Hao said while smirking evilly.

"No thanks! I would rather die!" the woman said while spitting at Li Hao's face.

Li Hao immediately grabbed the woman's hair and threw her to the side as he landed a kick to the woman's stomach. As he kicked the woman one more time, he sensed impending danger. But he didn't have the time to dodge the oncoming danger as Yi Tianyun's kick landed straight to his chest.

The woman looked over to the person who saved her from Li Hao and saw that the person was the young man who won the Jade Spirit Stone and shared some of it with her earlier!

Chapter 281

Yi Tianyun kicked Li Hao straight at the chest, flinging him away from the lady.

The lady was visibly surprised to see Li Hao was done in like that and that the one who saved her was none other than the young man who was kind enough to sell her some of his Jade Spirit Stones!

"What are you doing here! Don't you know that Li Hao is from the Netherworld Empire?" The lady said with a shock in her tone.

Yi Tianyun didn't care about the lady's warning, killing Li Hao was one of his goals, and now it would be easier as he has the reason to.

Li Hao quickly got back up and took a medicinal pill to recover from the damage of Yi Tianyun's kick.

Li Hao quickly sneered at Yi Tianyun after his recovery, the killing intent was through the roof!

"Brat! It seems that you didn't value your own life! You think that you are a hero from saving this lady! How dare you attack me out of nowhere!" Li Hao said angrily while also activating divine rune on his body!

Li Hao rushed over to Yi Tianyun as he felt his injury was already recovered.

The lady quickly dragged Yi Tianyun to evade Li Hao's attack! She thought that Yi Tianyun wouldn't be able to deal with Li Hao at the moment.

Li Hao smirked as he knew that the lady wouldn't be able to stop him from reaching Yi Tianyun.

Yi Tianyun sighed as he knew that the lady was doing something wasteful, he quickly blocked Li Hao's attack with one hand as Li Hao reached their position.

Li Hao thought that Yi Tianyun had already given up as he thought that there was no way Yi Tianyun could block his attack.

Li Hao quickly collided with Yi Tianyun, but Yi Tianyun threw his own punch, meeting Li Hao's fist in the middle where a cracking sound was heard!

Li Hao quickly bent over while holding his hands and screaming in pain! His hands were shattered, it was visibly crushed, and his blood was flowing out like a fountain from his hand!

"What is this? I only threw a mere punch, and your hands cracked like that! What a wimp!" Yi Tianyun said in a degrading manner.

The young lady was shocked to see that Yi Tianyun easily overpowered Li Hao like that. She thought that there would be no way Yi Tianyun could have a higher Cultivation base than Li Hao as Yi Tianyun was so young.

But now, she knew that Yi Tianyun was definitely more powerful than Li Hao!

Li Hao was immediately enraged by Yi Tianyun's taunt and quickly burned his blood to assert more power.

"Be careful! He would be more powerful after burning his blood qi!" The lady said, warning Yi Tianyun on Li Hao's power up! Yi Tianyun knew that, and he didn't really care as he knew that there was no way that Li Hao could overpower him.

Li Hao quickly took a divine talisman and threw it to Yi Tianyun.

As soon as the Divine Talisman reached Yi Tianyun, it blew up! Its firepower was equal to a 5th Layer Core Transformation cultivator's attack!

For someone like Li Hao, that power was already amazing enough.

But for Yi Tianyun, who had already seen so much more powerful attack, that fire Divine Talisman was nothing special.

But as Yi Tianyun was shrouded with the flame, Li Hao laughed heartily. He thought that there was no way Yi Tianyun could be alive after that!

"You fool! Did you think this amount of power was enough to kill me?" Yi Tianyun said while laughing at Li Hao.

Yi Tianyun quickly rushed forward from the flame and kicked Li Hao with a powerful kick and punched Li Hao's head as hard as he could.

Li Hao couldn't evade any of Yi Tianyun's attacks and died from all the damage Yi Tianyun gave him.

'DING'

'Successfully killed Li Hao!'

'Reward: 150.000 Exp, 4.300 CPs, 500 Divine Rune MP, Trace Confusion Step Martial Art, Heavenly Wind Palm, Ruined Clouds Stroke, 5th Grade Divine Rune (random), Tyrant Rune Paper.'

Li Hao was easily defeated even though Yi Tianyun didn't activate the Crazy Mode! Yi Tianyun quickly searched for Li Hao's storage ring and then felt satisfied with his discovery after looking at the storage ring.

The lady looked at Yi Tianyun in wonder. She didn't believe her eyes that Yi Tianyun actually killed Li Hao, the traitor!

A few men who were trying to capture the lady earlier were shaken and quickly fled the scene as they screamed that Yi Tianyun and the lady would be dead after the Netherworld Empire knew what they had done!

Yi Tianyun sighed and rushed towards the escaping men as he didn't want to give Star Pavilion an extra burden!

Chapter 282

Yi Tianyun's overbearing power really shocked the lady and Li Ya, who was secretly watching the fight from afar.

They also had a feeling that Yi Tianyun wasn't afraid of angering the Netherworld Empire.

They know that killing the Netherworld Empire Chief Divine Rune Master would cause some disturbance on the Netherworld Empire authority and, therefore, will cause unnecessary trouble.

Li Ya saw Yi Tianyun in a different light now.

She didn't expect Yi Tianyun to be that powerful, but she couldn't invite Yi Tianyun to join after all that, as she knew that if what happened there was leaked to the Netherworld Empire, Star Pavilion would be in trouble.

She immediately turned around and left the scene as she didn't want to be associated with Yi Tianyun for the moment.

Yi Tianyun quickly took the lady to fly away towards her hideout, while on the way there, the lady couldn't help but ask about Yi Tianyun's power earlier, how could he not receive any damage from the fire that Li Hao threw to him earlier.

"It didn't really matter if you really want to know more, you must be interested in me!" Yi TIanyun said while smirking to the lady.

"No, that is not what I mean! I am only curious for you already that strong while still seeming so young!" The lady said while blushing profusely.

"I got my strength through hard work and relentless effort, the same as any other strong man out there!" Yi Tianyun said while smiling warmly.

The lady blushed once again as she felt embarrassed for asking such a question.

Not long after that, they arrived in the vicinity of a forest and the lady told them that they had to walk there.

The lady told Yi Tianyun to come with her to kill some time while she lay low for a while.

Yi Tianyun said that he would be fine with that as he said that since he wasn't afraid of those Netherworld Empire bunch, he could handle them all!

But she kept insisting as she said that she would like to introduce Yi Tianyun to her elder as to thank Yi Tianyun properly.

Yi Tianyun didn't have any reason to turn the lady's offer down and therefore agreed to come with her for a while.

While they were walking through the forest, the lady once again asked Yi Tianyun if he had any grudge towards the Netherworld Empire while smiling lightly.

"No, I never hated them, but I strongly dislike the way they act towards others. So, I will try my best to destroy them!" Yi Tianyun said confidently.

"You didn't have to feel anxious around me, I don't have any bad intentions towards the Spirit Race!" Yi TIanyun said while smiling lightly.

In fact, he had a friend who was one of the Spirit Race too.

She said she was sorry for being so cautious around Yi Tianyun, but it was necessary as there were so many people who wanted to exploit the Spirit Race due to their Divine Rune Mastery.

Yi Tianyun nodded his head in understanding; it was true!

For a race that excelled at Divine Rune Mastery, Spirit Race was exploited continuously by various strong factions, and Netherworld Empire took the reign for the vilest out of all those factions.

They turned the Spirit Race into a slave for the Netherworld Empire's own benefit. Once the Spirit Race has already become a slave, the Netherworld Empire makes sure that the only thing they'll be doing for the rest of their life is engraving Divine Runes!

Not long after that, the lady quickly pulled Yi Tianyun towards a clearing, saying that was the way towards the Spirit Race hideout.

Yi Tianyun was confused for a while, but he soon realized that there must be some sort of Divine Rune mechanism used to conceal the hideout.

Yi Tianyun quickly activated his Heavenly Eyes and saw that the place was filled with so many Divine Runes.

There was no way that place could be found without proper instruction or a specific skill like his Heavenly Eyes.

The lady soon stopped in front of a tree and said that they had arrived. She hoped that Yi Tianyun could find comfort in that hideout.

"Right, who is your name?"

Yi Tianyun, who felt that he still couldn't trust all of the Spirit Race completely and decided to give a fake name to the lady, said, "My name is Yi Yuntian."

Chapter 283

The lady nodded her head after hearing the name that Yi Tianyun gave, she quickly introduced herself as she said that her name was Ye Wan'er.

Yi Tianyun smiled and nodded his head knowingly. He didn't think that she was related to Ye Qingxuan, and he still couldn't say that he knew Ye Qingxuan casually considering Ye Qingxuan's current situation.

Ye Wan'er then proceeded to walk inside the tree to inform her elder of Yi Tianyun's arrival.

While waiting, Yi Tianyun thought over what he has done ever since he was reincarnated inside that body; there was so much that he had already done in a year's time!

He had destroyed a few Faction in that short amount of time, there was Profound Azure Mansion, Wang Family from the Star Pavilion, many small factions in the Earthly Border Continent which also attacked Heavenly Jade Mansion, Divine Runes Mansion, and the factions that joined the Netherworld Empire at the time also fell as they lost most of their power after losing their Mansion Lord and some of their executives.

Not long after that, Ye Wan'er came back, followed by her elder.

"Big Brother Yi, this is our Third Elder." Ye Wan'er introduced Yi Tianyun.

"Greetings Third Elder." The Yi Tianyun nod said.

"Have you saved Wan'er from those people? You have such a cultivation base, at your young age you can kill Li Hao." Third Elder Jiang Yi is taking a look at him up and down, carefully observing him, then asked, "Which faction do you come from?"

"I'm just a rogue cultivator, I don't come from any faction." Yi Tianyun said with a light smile.

"Un, rogue cultivator?" Jiang Yi narrows his eyes to focus on him, a rogue cultivator can be as strong as this, it rarely happens, "Wan'er said that you have a grudge with the Netherworld Empire?"

"Yes, absolutely! It was not that he hated the Netherworld Empire in particular, but he strongly disagreed with the way they acted towards other factions." The Yi Tianyun mentioned several points.

"The Netherworld Empire is indeed overbearing! Thank you for rescuing Wan'er. Spirit Race was also one of the Netherworld Empire's victims." Jiang Yi smiled.

"This is very normal. I have heard something, and should investigate rigorously, fearing that it will mix with the traitor within." Yi Tianyun said with a smile.

Jiang Yi said, "Spirit Race was supposed to be hospitable towards any outsider who came to become their guest, but now that the Netherworld Empire had put a bounty for anyone who could capture any member of Spirit Race, their actions towards the outsider also changed."

"Please cover your eyes before you enter the hideout. Sorry for the inconvenience." Jiang Yi took out a black satin ribbon, told Yi Tianyun to tie up.

"No problem." Yi Tianyun nodded his head in understanding of the Spirit Race's situation, and thus agreed to the older condition that Yi Tianyun had to cover his eyes before he could enter the hideout.

Ye Wan'er quickly blindfolded Yi Tianyun using a piece of cloth that she had prepared beforehand and then led Yi Tianyun carefully towards their hideout!

Even if a thick cloth covered his eyes, thanks to the Heavenly Eyes, he could still see many Divine Runes scattered throughout the place.

Throughout the way to the Spirit Race hideout, he also noticed the intense Spiritual Energy covering the place, he was sure that the Spiritual Energy of the hideout would be very suitable to cultivate his own cultivation.

Soon enough, Yi Tianyun heard many curious voices, and some of them were also judging Ye Wan'er as a fool as they didn't trust any outsider.

Yi Tianyun sighed as he needed to be able to control his own emotions there. He knew that wasn't their fault; it was because they were constantly betrayed by an outsider who wanted to exploit their ability for themselves!

He noticed many eyes were on him at the moment and some voices which tried to convince others that Yi Tianyun wasn't a bad person and that Yi Tianyun had killed Li Hao, one of the traitors who defected to the Netherworld Empire.

After the said fact was revealed, Yi Tianyun could hear them breathing a sigh of relief all over the place.

In the meantime, Ye Wan'er could relax a little bit, knowing that her own people didn't completely reject Yi Tianyun's arrival!

Chapter 284

Ye Wan'er explained to Yi Tianyun that the Spirit Race never accepted any visitor with a vague origin, but Yi Tianyun was an exception because he had a common similarity to them, which was the grudge to the Netherworld Empire.

With Yi Tianyun killing Li Hao, a traitor of Spirit Race, he was immediately trusted.

Yi Tianyun looked over at the center of that place and saw a high tower that was immensely different from the others.

It emitted a light wave from the top of it.

Yi Tianyun immediately asked Ye Wan'er about the origin of the tower.

Ye Wan'er said, "The place was called Spirit Pagoda, the light that you see was an Array that covers this place up and conceals this place from the outer world. That place was also the house of the Saintess and Elder. The Array needs Jade Spirit Stone to work, so that is why I am almost desperate to get my hands on those Jade Spirit Stones earlier. The Array is quite powerful. The elder said that even a Spirit King wouldn't be able to find this place."

Yi Tianyun nodded his head in understanding. He now knew the urgency that Ye Wan'er mentioned earlier was for that Spirit Pagoda so that they could keep their whereabouts a secret from their enemies.

But after hearing that the pagoda was the house of a Saintess, Yi Tianyun couldn't help but wonder if that was where Ye Qingxuan lived now.

Ye Wan'er quickly shouted in excitement as she removed her mask, revealing her true face.

Yi Tianyun knew that Ye Wan'er was using a mask as she didn't want to reveal her identity to the outside world, he didn't expect Ye Wan'er to be that beautiful.

After observing Ye Wan'er's face for quite a while, Yi Tianyun realized that she must be connected to Ye Qingxuan. Ye Wan'er kind of resembles her in a way.

Ye Wan'er immediately waved her hands in front of Yi Tianyun's face as she saw that Yi Tianyun was quite surprised by her change of appearance.

"Sorry, I am a bit startled for your change of appearance. I don't know that you are such a beautiful girl." Yi Tianyun said with a smiling face.

"Don't worry about that. My sister is much more beautiful than I am." Ye Wan'er said casually.

Ye Wan'er then led Yi Tianyun around so he could have a closer look at that place, but she couldn't bring Yi Tianyun to the Spirit Pagoda as that place was off-limits to the outsider.

Yi Tianyun nodded in understanding again. He knew that place retained the Spirit Race's secret and therefore needed to be guarded carefully.

As they walked around, many girls approached them to hear the story of Yi Tianyun's fight against Li Hao.

They heard that Yi Tianyun killed Li Hao with only a couple of punches.

Many of them also flirted with Yi Tianyun openly, while some of them weren't even interested and asked Ye Wan'er about her experience outside of the hideout instead.

Yi Tianyun was polite throughout the way as Ye Wan'er kept teasing the girl about her experience and that they could do it too when they were a bit older.

As they kept walking, Ye Wan'er pointed to a cabin while saying that the cabin was her and her sister's place. She invited Yi Tianyun inside so he could rest for a while. Yi Tianyun nodded, and they entered the cabin.

Inside, Yi Tianyun noticed that the place was tidy and clean. He also noticed that one of the bedrooms was clean, but it seems like no one used the room for quite a while. He asked Ye Wan'er whether that was her room or not, to which she said that the room wasn't hers, but her sister's!

She also said that her sister hasn't returned in a long time and that she didn't know when she would be back.

Yi Tianyun felt bad after hearing Ye Wan'er's disappointment that her sister hasn't returned yet, and he quickly comforted Ye Wan'er while saying that her sister definitely will return eventually.

Ye Wan'er suddenly became excited as she said that she wasn't disappointed about her sister, there was no helping about it since her sister was busy fighting for Spirit Race's freedom, for she was the Saintess of Spirit Race!

Chapter 285

From what Ye Wan'er had said, Yi Tianyun knew that Ye Qingxuan had returned and successfully brought hope to the Spirit Race once again.

The proof would be the constant needs of the Jade Spirit Stone for the Spirit Pagoda because if the saint never returned, they would not waste their resources to buy the Jade Spirit Stone like that.

But as much as Jade Spirit Stone they could have, it will eventually be exhausted.

The only way for them to have the peace and freedom that they wanted would be by destroying the Netherworld Empire!

Yi Tianyun nodded his head as he now understood the true nature of Spirit Race's struggle.

'DING'

'Heavenly Jade Sect successfully annihilated a thief's nest!'

'Reward: 5.000.000 Exp, 100.000 CPs, 1.000 SPs, 100 Prestige Points, 1x Enhanced Lottery Roulette ticket.'

Yi Tianyun was a little bit startled by the system's notification; he didn't expect to get a reward for something that the Heavenly Jade Sect accomplished. He now knew why the Snow Wolf kept getting stronger while he didn't specifically order it to hunt.

Ye Wan'er noticed that Yi Tianyun was smirking to himself and found it a little bit weird.

Yi Tianyun snapped back from his thoughts as he noticed Ye Wan'er stare.

"Brother Yi, what's wrong?" Ye Wan'er asked Yi Tianyun if there was anything wrong.

Yi Tianyun immediately dodged by saying, "Nothing, where are we going?"

"Big Brother has saved me, I must repay you!" Ye Wan'er smiled, "Although I can't bring Big Brother to the Spirit Pagoda, there is still a place that Big Brother could still visit, and I think that the place would be great for Big Brother."

Yi Tianyun became curious, "Where is it?"

Ye Wan'er said while smiling excitedly, "The place was named Jade Water Deep Pool. It is a place with rich spiritual power, and that Big Brother could cultivate faster there!"

Yi Tianyun was surprised to hear that the Spirit Race had a pool with a high concentration of spiritual energy like that. She explained that the pool was made for a guest of the Spirit Race, so therefore Yi Tianyun would be allowed to enter.

They soon left the house and walked towards the forest. Yi Tianyun noticed that the pool wasn't that big, but it was fairly decent for several people to cultivate there. He also saw that the place had a fair amount of people who were meditating to improve their own cultivation.

But as Yi Tianyun was an outsider, as soon as he entered the place, all cultivators on the scene laid their gaze towards Yi Tianyun.

The Spirit Race cultivators in Jade Water Deep Pool began to talk curiously, and some of them were disgusted over why an outsider was there.

Ye Wan'er immediately explained that Yi Tianyun was the one who saved her when she was about to be captured by Li Hao earlier and that Yi Tianyun was the one that killed Li Hao too.

After hearing Ye Wan'er's explanation, some of their gazes began to soften as they found it very relieving after hearing that one of the traitors had been killed!

But some of them still looked at Yi Tianyun in distrust and alerted. He knew that there was no helping it, after facing so many troubles, it was a good thing that they simply distrusted an outsider!

A young boy immediately stood up and said, "You should leave the Jade Water Deep Pool, we don't know you, and therefore we can't trust you."

They didn't care even if Yi Tianyun was really the one who killed Li Hao; they still knew nothing about Yi Tianyun.

The young boy also said, "There was no guarantee that you aren't actually one of the spies that the Netherworld Empire had sent!"

The young boy's words got a lot of support from the people around him.

But, Ye Wan'er quickly said, "Big Brother isn't like that, and I must repay Big Brother's kindness. I can't allow myself to be an ungrateful girl who left without doing anything!"

The rest of them were silent as Spirit Race was taught never to be ungrateful toward anyone who helped them.

They let Yi Tianyun enter the pool, and then Ye Wan'er said that Yi Tianyun could cultivate.

Yi Tianyun sat at one corner of the pool and then tried to see the pool's detailed description with his appraisal eye.

'Jade Water Deep Pool: A pool of powerful Spiritual Energy, the pool has a rare Soul Accumulating Grass at the bottom of it. Cultivating while in the vicinity of the pool would increase the cultivation speed by thirty percent.'

Yi Tianyun was quite surprised to see that the pool had Soul Accumulating Grass at the bottom of it.

No wonder that place could gather so much Spiritual Energy like that!

Yi Tianyun also knew that if that Soul Accumulating Grass were known to the outside world, that place would be ransacked to get their hands on that grass!

Chapter 286

Yi Tianyun noticed that several people seemed to be following him and Ye Wan'er from afar.

Yi Tianyun knew that was just because the spirit race couldn't trust Yi Tianyun just yet.

Yi Tianyun decided to ignore them and instead looked around the place. He noticed that the place had a really good cultivation atmosphere; it was no wonder that the Spirit Race had a good cultivation.

He knew that even with such a supportive environment, Yi Tianyun knew that the Spirit Race still couldn't fight the Netherworld Empire.

The problem was not the level of cultivation that they had, more like the quantity of manpower that they had.

He put the thought away as he saw that Ye Wan'er was already meditating, cultivating her own Spiritual power.

Yi Tianyun immediately tried to absorb the Spiritual Energy for himself and was quite surprised to see the amount of Exp that he got. He got around 8.000 to 9.000 Exp per second!

He wondered what the difference between that place and other cultivation places that he has already tried so far was. He wondered if the Soul Accumulating Grass on the bottom of the Jade Water Deep Pool had something to do with it.

He tried to see the data of the Soul Accumulating grass with his Appraisal Eye and couldn't find anything unusual from it!

He tried to look around for any unusual Divine Rune that was engraved somewhere that may help speed up the cultivation process of anyone around the pool, but he couldn't find any.

Yi Tianyun decided to try to absorb the Spiritual Energy with his full absorption power.

Yi Tianyun activated the Dark North Divine Art, and suddenly the Spiritual Energy was beginning to spiral towards him, creating a whirlpool of Spiritual Energy!

The amount of Spirit Power he got was reaching 35.000 per second! He didn't even use the Crazy Mode just yet!

The situation around the Jade Water Deep Pool began to become unusual as Yi Tianyun continued to absorb a large amount of Spiritual Energy for himself.

The trees around the pool began to shake like they were being pulled into the pool.

People began to stop meditating as they didn't get the amount of Spiritual Energy that they needed.

They saw that the Spiritual Energy surrounded Yi Tianyun and that it was so strong, unlike anything that they have ever seen before.

Ye Wan'er, who was sitting next to Yi Tianyun, was surprised and didn't know what to say, but as she knew that the look from her people was like pressure on her, she decided to stop Yi Tianyun.

"Take it easy, Big Brother…"

Yi Tianyun immediately asked, "What's wrong?"

"Your absorption speed is so fast, even faster than your elders." Ye Wan'er shook him a little.

Yi Tianyun saw that Ye Wan'er was trembling a little bit, and other people who were cultivating in the pool looked scared of Yi Tianyun.

However, instead of being scared of Yi Tianyun, Ye Wan'er was excited to see Yi Tianyun's amazing cultivation speed.

Yi Tianyun asked, "Does this disturb others?"

He got his answer as the people around began to complain that Yi Tianyun had slowed down their cultivation.

Ye Wan'er once again pleaded to her kind, "Please, this is the only thing that I can give to Big Brother, I need to repay him as he already saved my life. In exchange for my apologies since I already disturbed everyone's cultivation, I will gladly help you guys if you ever need my help in anything."

Yi Tianyun immediately patted Ye Wan'er's head in humor and said, "You don't have to do any of that. It is better to look around while enjoying the scenery, let's leave the pool."

"But…" Ye Wan'er seemed to be reluctant to leave.

"Let's go." Yi Tianyun once again invited her to leave with a smile on his face. He already had the necessary information to increase his cultivation speed anyway; it was rude of him if he insisted on cultivating inside the Jade Water Deep Pool anyway.

He couldn't help but wonder if the Soul Accumulating Grass had the same effect as the Exp card if he ate them.

If it were true, he would purchase a large amount of them to quicken his own cultivation speed!

Chapter 287

Yi Tianyun had a rough idea on where he should buy the rare Soul Accumulating Grass, he doubted that the Star Pavilion would have any, but maybe there will be one on the auction like before.

However, Ye Wan'er beside him still felt guilty because she couldn't repay Yi Tianyun properly.

"Hey, it is okay! This place was beautiful! I feel lucky enough to get a chance to come here!" Yi Tianyun said while trying to reassure Ye Wan'er. He said it with great honesty, as he doesn't know any information about the Soul Accumulating Grass before coming here!

"No, I felt useless! If you could enter the Spirit Pagoda, you will benefit more than the Jade Water Deep Pool!" Ye Wan'er said while feeling a little bit sad.

"Come on, you clearly don't mean anything to go like this, it wasn't your fault." Yi Tianyun said while smiling warmly.

Suddenly, a group of cultivators walked toward Ye Wan'er and Yi Tianyun.

Yi Tianyun noticed that the one who led the group was none other than Ye Qingxuan!

Apparently, she came there to check on her sister, for she has just returned.

Ye Qingxuan didn't recognize Yi Tianyun because of his mask, and Yi Tianyun noticed that Ye Qingxuan didn't change much except that she was visibly paler than when Yi Tianyun saved her from the cave.

Ye Wan'er waved excitedly while grabbing Yi Tianyun's hands and dragged him to her sister.

Once they were in front of her sister, Yi Tianyun bowed a little while Ye Wan'er was visibly blushed as her sister saw that Ye Wan'er was holding Yi Tianyun's hands.

Ye Qingxuan immediately shook Yi Tianyun's hand and said, "Thanks for saving my sister, I will do anything to repay you as long as it was within my capabilities to do."

She also scolded Ye Wan'er, "And you, never do that again. I already made the rule which stated that anyone not allowed to leave the hideout on their own, at least they must bring along one partner."

There was no guarantee that a Spirit Race could stay under the radar while the Netherworld Empire was constantly looking for them, plus the traitor could be lurking around searching for them.

"Sister! I only do things that would benefit the Spirit Race! I want to help too, you know!" Ye Wan'er said, defending her action.

Ye Qingxuan was visibly getting angrier facing Ye Wan'er's stubbornness.

However, a man approached Ye Qingxuan with a nervous face and reported, "Saintess, our people who tried to buy a medicinal pill had been spotted. Therefore their frequent pavilion will no longer sell us any medicinal pill."

Ye Qingxuan was surprised to hear that report, "No longer sell to us? Oh, it seems the Netherworld Empire puts pressure on them, so no one dares to sell their medicinal pill to us."

The Spirit Race was in dire need of those medicinal pills, and now they were in deep trouble if they couldn't find any!

'DING'

'[Rescue the Spirit Race!] Quest was available!'

'[Accept] [Reject]'

Suddenly the quest prompt popped out! Yi Tianyun accepted the quest without hesitation!

'DING'

'Successfully received the quest [Rescue the Spirit Race!]'

'Reward on completion: [Spirit Race King] Title!

'DING'

'*1st Step: [Overcome the Medicinal Pill shortage!]'

'Reward: 5.000.000 Exp, 50.000 CPs, 5.000 Pill Refining MPs, 50 Spirit Race Favorability.'

Yi Tianyun was in shock after seeing the reward of the quest! He would become the king of Spirit Race! If he did it right, turning Heavenly Jade Sect into a 3rd Grade Faction would be so easy!

Chapter 288

"Will you refine the medicinal pills for us?" Ye Qingxuan and the other Spirit Race Member said surprisedly.

"Yes, as long as there is enough material, I will refine as many as you want. 4th Grade Medicinal Pills are not a problem." Yi Tianyun said confidently.

"If what you said is true, I need you to refine a group of medicinal pills now. We need it urgently!" Ye Qingxuan said quickly.

"Saintess! Is it wise to let a stranger come with us to refine us a medicinal pill?" An elder of the Spirit Race asked confusedly.

"Well, did you have any other option?" Ye Qingxuan said toward the elder.

The elder was quiet as he didn't have any other solution himself.

No one wanted to offer help for the Spirit Race.

Yi Tianyun said, "Anyone who can't trust me can watch me refine the pill as long as they want!"

Everyone was surprised to hear Yi Tianyun's suggestion; everyone knew that alchemists never showed how they refined medicinal pills to hide their Pill Refining techniques.

Ye Qingxuan's eyes shone in excitement! She knew with this suggestion from Yi Tianyun himself. They won't have any choice but to accept Yi Tianyun's help.

"Come to the Spirit Pagoda with me! All the materials you need are already there!" Ye Qingxuan said excitedly.

"Would you also come with me?" Yi Tianyun said toward Ye Wan'er.

Ye Wan'er instantly looked at her sister for an agreement that she could follow them to the Spirit Pagoda.

Even though she was from the Spirit Race, she couldn't enter the Spirit Pagoda without special permission.

Ye Qingxuan nodded her head in amusement and then led the way to the Spirit Pagoda.

As soon as they arrived at the Spirit Pagoda, the residents of Spirit Pagoda raised their eyebrows as they were confused that the outsider had entered the Spirit Pagoda somehow!

Yi Tianyun noticed that the place had many Divine Rune engraved to its wall and that the Divine Rune glimmered in power, meaning that it was a high-grade Divine Rune.

There was no doubt that if that place was destroyed, the Spirit Race would lose a considerable amount of power!

No one in the Spirit Pagoda was higher than a Void Spirit stage!

He also noticed that the place had a higher concentration of Spirit Energy than any other place that Yi Tianyun had ever visited before!

He saw that place also had many Jade Spirit Stones on the side, and on the wall, it seemed that those Jade Spirit Stones were used to concentrate the Spirit Energy inside the Spirit Pagoda and didn't leak out outside.

Soon they walked into a Pill Refining Room where he saw a few Alchemists were refining some Medicinal Pills.

He noticed that those alchemists didn't have that high of proficiency in Pill Refining.

They were only 3rd Grade Pill Refining Master!

"Saintess."

When Ye Qingxuan entered the room, they immediately bowed their heads and greeted her with respect!

She immediately said, "He is Yi Tianyun. He will help us to refine the medicinal pills needed for the Spirit Race."

They frowned a little bit as they saw that the helper was a boy and that he was an outsider too.

They began to complain, "He will only slow us down and that we can't really trust an outsider. "

Ye Qingxuan said, "There is nothing to worry about, Yi Tianyun is a 4th Grade Alchemist and that you can watch him refine the Medicinal Pill if you can't trust him."

The Spirit Race Alchemist was a little bit surprised that a young man like Yi Tianyun could be a 4th Grade Alchemist and that they could watch the way he refined!

One of the deacons reluctantly stood, "I will prepare the alchemy furnace and the fire to use."

Yi Tianyun quickly told him, "No need, I have my own alchemy furnace and fire."

Once again, Yi Tianyun's words surprised everyone.

No one even thought that a young man like Yi Tianyun would have all of the equipment for refining.

They were once again shocked as they saw that the alchemy furnace and the fire that Yi Tianyun had were of a high-grade one!

Chapter 289

"This…"

Everyone was shocked to see the fire that Yi Tianyun used was a high-grade fire.

They saw several powerful fires at their time, but none of them was as pure as Yi Tian Yun.

All of a sudden, they expected something from Yi Tianyun's ability!

"Now, what medicinal pills should I make first?" Yi Tianyun said casually.

"Oh yeah, it was the 4th Grade Medicinal Pills, Life Continuing Spirit Pill! Is it okay to start with a high grade Medicinal Pill?" Ye Qingxuan said curiously.

"It is okay, may I get the material for it? The more, the better." Yi Tianyun said casually.

With his Pill Refining Proficiency, he already got the recipe for the Life Continuing Spirit Pill and many other Medicinal Pills, the recipes that he didn't get were the rare ones, like the Spirit Congealing Pills!

Ye Qingxuan immediately ordered the Deacon to gather the materials and gave it to Yi Tianyun excitedly.

When the Deacon came back and piled the materials in the room, Yi Tianyun began to select the material he needed and then tossed it to the Purple Fire Divine Furnace without even looking at the furnace.

As he did so, he lit the furnace with his fire, melting the material all at once and removing impurity from them.

Those who saw what Yi Tianyun was doing, frowned all at once as they knew that this was not how to refine a high-grade pill properly!

"What is it? Is he really taking a pill? I feel he is going to fail…"

"Is he really a 4th Grade Alchemist? I am afraid he isn't…"

"Too bad a fire like that is in his hand."

They started to feel pity for the material that Yi Tianyun had used, it was clear that the material was wasted. Some of them were even afraid that the furnace would blow up!

Some of them even felt pity for the fire that Yi Tianyun was using. They thought that it was a shame for it to be in Yi Tianyun's hands.

Ye Qingxuan frowned too, but she didn't say anything as she had to see the finished product first.

Ye Wan'er, however, was prepared to take the blame if anything bad happened there.

Even though Yi Tianyun was lying about that entire Pill Refining thing, she would make sure that he would get out of there unscathed!

Yi Tianyun was still the one who helped her break free of Li Hao's grasp.

But Yi Tianyun baffled everyone once again as he finished the first batch and handed the Life Continuing Spirit Pills that he refined to Ye Qingxuan.

"Done."

They were all dumbfounded and looked at Yi Tianyun completely at a loss for words.

Ye Qingxuan immediately checked the pills and saw that the Medicinal Pills were well made and that the pills oozed a rich fragrance that was very refreshing.

There was no doubt in her mind that those Life Continuing Pills were of a high-grade refinement rank!

They started to look at the pills themselves and were shocked to see the high ranked pills to be made in such a short time.

Some of them knew that this was at least 3rd Refinement Rank 4th Grade Medicinal Pills!

Medicinal Pills were divided into nine ranks, the more impurities removed, the stronger the effect would be, and the higher the refinement ranks would be.

Even though it was still at the lower end, 3rd Refinement Rank Medicinal Pills were already great, as it was rare to see any medicinal pills at that rank.

"Is there any problem with the pills?" Yi Tianyun asked curiously.

He watched as everyone was silent and guessed that maybe they thought that he poisoned the pills but were embarrassed to say it out loud. So, Yi Tianyun took one random pill and immediately swallowed it without fear.

'DING'

'Taking a Life Continuing Spirit Pill!'

'+10.000 Points to Vitality!'

Vitality was the point he needed to strengthen his defensive power. But as of now, he didn't really need it as his defense power was already high enough to withstand a Core Transformation Peak Stage cultivator's attack!

Everyone was embarrassed after seeing that Yi Tianyun proved to them that there was nothing bad mixed into the pill!

Yi Tianyun asked them once again if there was anything wrong with his Medicinal Pills.

Ye Qingxuan quickly ordered the Deacon to give the pills to the injured Spirit Race on the sickbay.

"You are really awesome! You must be a genius to have such strong power and high level ability!" Ye Wan'er said while jumping to Yi Tianyun's embrace.

Yi Tianyun was a little bit flushed by Ye Wan'er's act; he doesn't want any of them to think of anything inappropriate about him!

Chapter 290

Ye Wan'er was excited that the man she brought after saving her life was useful for Spirit Race, and he was really strong too!

This fact made Ye Wan'er a little too excited that she forgot that she has been hugging Yi Tianyun for quite a while.

After she realized that she was holding on to Yi Tianyun, she blushed a little bit and let go at once while saying, "S-sorry!"

Yi Tianyun laughed and patted Ye Wan'er's head like a little kid; she flustered the moment Yi Tianyun patted her head.

Ye Qingxuan said, "I am sorry for doubting you and for my people's behavior."

"I understand. I am already aware of the situation that the Spirit Race is currently in." Yi Tianyun said to Ye Qingxuan.

"I would continue to refine the 4th Grade Medicinal Pills until you said otherwise or if I have already used all of the materials for it!" Yi Tianyun said while smiling slightly.

"Okay, that is all we need for now! Thank you for your kindness!" Ye Qingxuan said gratefully.

"As the sense of urgency was overcome, I will take my time to refine each batch of medicinal pills now." Yi Tianyun said confidently.

Ye Qingxuan nodded and said, "Okay, I have something else to do. You can tell Wan'er if you need any help."

Yi Tianyun looked at Ye Qingxuan as she walked away and wanted to tell her that he was the one who saved her in the cave before, but decided not to as he barely knows anything about the Spirit Race's situation at the moment.

He was afraid that if he exposed himself, he could endanger the Spirit Race more than they already were.

He began to refine the 4th Grade medicinal Pills scrutinously, making Ye Wan'er and the other Alchemists reluctant to talk to or even bother him.

Even though he said that he would be making the Medicinal Pill at a much slower pace, he still made a batch of Medicinal Pills faster than a normal alchemist.

The alchemists in the room looked at Yi Tianyun with envy; they wanted to have Yi Tianyun's skill too!

While Tianyun took a little rest, Ye Wan'er quickly asked, "Is it okay for you to be watched by the other alchemists since they may figure out your secret?"

Yi Tianyun laughed and said, "it's okay, they could even ask me for that, and I will teach them if they can keep up with me."

Ye Wan'er said, "Big Brother is so amazing, you are so strong and smart!"

Ye Wan'er also asked, "What kind of Divine Rune do you want to portray with the Jade Spirit Stone that you bought early? You are an amazing Divine Rune Master too, right?"

That question aroused the deacons' curiosity; they happened to overhear their conversation.

They didn't expect Yi Tianyun to be able to portray a Divine Rune, they thought that he was already an incredible Pill Refining master, and Ye Wan'er suddenly said that he was also a Divine Rune Master?

"Yes, it is for portraying the huge array in my place. I will use it immediately after I am done helping here." Yi Tianyun said casually.

"I could help you with that! I am a 5th Grade Divine Rune Master myself! If it's not higher than that, I would definitely succeed!" Ye Wan'er said confidently.

"I would think about it!" Yi Tianyun said while laughing a little bit.

As they were conversing casually and joked around, Yi Tianyun finally returned to making another batch of Medicinal Pills.

Ye Wan'er watched Yi Tianyun refine one after another Medicinal Pill as she didn't know what else to do to kill some time. She couldn't walk around the Spirit Pagoda casually as she only got permission to stay in that room.

After a few hours had passed, Ye Qingxuan came back to ask Yi Tianyun, "Can I get another batch of Life Continuing Spirit Pill? All of the first batches had been used."

Ye Wan'er quickly gave her all the Medicinal Pills that Yi Tianyun had made that were made into the stockpile.

"This…" Ye Qingxuan was surprised to see the piling medicinal pill and then said, "This is enough for the time being, you should rest for now."

'DING'

'Successfully completed 1st Stage of [Rescue the Spirit Race!] Quest – [Overcome the Medicine Pill Shortage!]'

'Reward: 5.000.000 Exp, 50.000 CPs, 5.000 Pill Refining Proficiencies, 50 Spirit Race Favorability points.'

'DING'

'2nd Stage of [Rescue the Spirit Race!] has been obtained! – [Help Restore the Divine Rune that Belongs to the Spirit Race!]'

'Reward on completion: 10.000.000 Exp, 100.000 CPs, 10.000 Divine Rune Proficiency points, 50 Spirit Race Favorability points.'

"Wan'er come help me to fix the Divine Rune around the Great Array." Ye Qingxuan said.

Ye Wan'er immediately agreed, "Okay, no problem."

Yi Tianyun also asked, "Can I help too?"

After receiving the quest, Yi Tianyun was eager to help, so he needed permission to go with Ye Wan'er to help out.

"This…" Ye Qingxuan hesitated for a while but quickly nodded, "Okay, please come with me."

Yi Tianyun was happy that his quest progress wouldn't be halted, but he knew that even if his offer was rejected, he could always reveal his real identity to Ye Qingxuan to make everything a lot easier!

Chapter 291

Ye Qingxuan takes Yi Tianyun and Ye Wan'er to the top of the Spirit Pagoda, where Elder Yan was fixing the Divine Rune by himself.

Yi Tianyun was a little bit confused seeing the scene in front of him, so he asked, "Why was there only one person fixing the Divine Rune? Spirit Race should have many Divine Rune Masters."

"You are right, Spirit Race indeed had many Divine Rune Masters. But many of them have already been captured by the Netherworld Empire. Some of them were among the traitors of the Spirit Race." Ye Qingxuan said while sighing sadly. She doesn't hide this problem from Yi Tianyun as she trusted Yi Tianyun enough.

The outside world had known that Spirit Race was a race that had an innate ability on Divine Rune and that the Spirit Race tried to show that they still had many Divine Rune Masters, which was false information to throw off the Netherworld Empire as to not attack them head-on!

Yi Tianyun became angered upon hearing that information, his disgust on the Netherworld Empire was intensified!

Now, he had to help the Spirit Race so as not to let the Power-Hungry Netherworld Empire get what they wanted!

Yi Tianyun noticed that the Jade Spirit Stone was placed in many places, and some of them almost faded out, meaning that the Stone was close to being exhausted!

Ye Qingxuan quickly asked Elder Yan, who was Divine Rune Master, "How is the condition of the Great Array?"

"It is not good, Saintess! There are too many damaged Divine Runes due to the Netherworld Empire's constant attack. Right now, the Divine Runes we set in the forest were on the verge of collapsing! I am afraid Lei Yun will reach the inner sanctuary anytime soon!" Elder Yan said nervously.

"Lei Yun!"

When Ye Qingxuan was hearing the name of the man who imprisoned her after gaining her trust and releasing all pent-up anger in her heart, her killing intent emanated from her body like poison; she really wanted to kill Lei Yun!

Ye Wan'er also added, "I felt sick when I found out that my sister was once Lei Yun's fiancée. Fortunately, my sister won't marry him!"

Ye Qingxuan quickly snapped back from her hatred and said, "We should fix the Divine Rune quickly. Don't let the enemy enter the palace!"

Elder Yan looked at the side and noticed Yi Tianyun for the first time and asked, "Is he the man who helps the Spirit Race refining the necessary Medicinal Pills?"

Yi Tianyun immediately bowed his head in respect and said, "I am indeed the alchemy who helps to refine some of the Medicinal Pills."

Ye Qingxuan immediately gave permission for Yi Tianyun to look around the place while they needed to fix the Divine Rune right away.

Yi Tianyun stopped them and said, "I want to help repair the Divine Rune too!"

Everyone was a little bit startled hearing Yi Tianyun wanted to help to repair the Divine Runes too; they were confused as they knew that Yi Tianyun was Alchemist, not Divine Rune Master!

Yi Tianyun also said, "I am at least a 5th Grade Divine Rune Master, but I still don't know for sure how high my grade is."

Ye Qingxuan said, "You may help out if you are really 5th Grade Divine Rune Master, we need all the help that we can get now!"

Ye Wan'er was a little bit surprised to hear that new information regarding Yi Tianyun. She already bragged herself as a 5th Grade Divine Rune Master to Yi Tianyun, and now he said that he himself was also the 5th Grade Divine Rune Master!

Ye Qingxuan immediately directed Yi Tianyun to a 5th Grade Divine Rune that needed to be fixed right away.

Yi Tianyun quickly took out his Imperial Spirit Stroke that once again surprised everyone, and started to repair the Divine Rune Immediately.

He didn't use the Heavenly Eyes as he didn't want his cover to be blown just yet.

The Heavenly eyes were the innate ability special to Ye Qingxuan; he knew that Ye Qingxuan and himself would be in trouble if the Spirit Race knew that he had the Heavenly Eyes!

Yi Tianyun repaired the Divine Rune Perfectly even without the Heavenly Eyes; everyone was surprised beyond belief!

They all thought, how could Yi Tianyun cultivate all that?

They have never seen any cultivator with a double profession, not to mention with such a high proficiency on both like Yi Tianyun, not to mention he was so young!

Chapter 292

They were shocked to see that Yi Tianyun was really a high-grade double profession cultivator who was very rare!

It was almost impossible to see one at such a young age too!

They all wondered if Yi Tianyun had already been cultivated since he was inside his mother's womb!

They didn't know that Yi Tianyun was basically cheating!

The Crazy Leveling System that he got unlocked unlimited potential for him!

'DING'

'Successfully fixed a 5th Grade Divine Rune!'

'Reward: 500.000 Exp, 500 Divine Rune Proficiency.'

Yi Tianyun sighed in relief that he fixed one difficult Divine Rune in such a short time. He noticed that it was faster to fix Divine Rune than making a new one.

Ye sisters looked at Yi Tianyun's work immediately and noticed that the Divine Rune was repaired to perfection.

"I was surprised that you are really a Divine Rune Master!" Ye Wan'er said excitedly.

"I never lied, at least not to you." Yi Tianyun said while smiling toward Ye Wan'er.

Ye Qingxuan quickly directed Yi Tianyun to several other Divine Runes that had to be fixed so as not to waste any time.

As time passed, Yi Tianyun and the others have managed to repair many Divine Runes on the Spirit Pagoda relentlessly.

Although Yi Tianyun didn't seem to be fatigued even with all the amount of Divine Runes he has fixed, the other didn't share the same stamina as him.

The other's face was visibly paler and was on the verge of fainting from the loss of Spiritual Power. Suddenly, the Divine Rune in the middle of the Spirit Pagoda was screeching, and its light was also dimmed out.

Ye Qingxuan and Elder Yan quickly rushed there to repair it immediately; that particular Divine Runes shouldn't be destroyed. If it was destroyed, the Spirit Pagoda would be doomed!

"The Divine Rune received damage from the East Forest direction! With this much damage, the East Forest would fall soon!" Elder Yan said to Ye Qingxuan while slightly panicked.

Elder Yan continuously repaired the said Divine Rune, and as time went by, his face became paler, and cold sweat was seen dripping from his face.

Not long after that, Elder Yan was visibly shaken, he wobbled until he almost fell,

"Elder Yan, you should rest." Ye Wan'er who was standing close by him, immediately caught his body and laid him on the bench to let him rest.

"It's fine. I still can do it." Elder Yan quickly tried to get up to continue his job, but Ye Qingxuan quickly stopped him as she would finish fixing the Divine Runes herself.

"This…" Elder Yan struggled for a bit as he didn't want to let the saint do all his jobs, but he finally gave up as he felt that his body was really heavy and hard to move.

Ye Qingxuan quickly activated her Heavenly Eyes and started to fix the Divine Rune diligently.

Although her Divine Rune Proficiency was not as good as Elder Yan, with her Heavenly Eyes, she could still repair that Divine Rune without fail, but it certainly took more time.

Over time, Ye Qingxuan also fell victim to fatigue as she became wobbly with her face beginning to ashen. She stumbled backward as she couldn't hold onto her consciousness, and Yi Tianyun quickly held her before the floor hit her head.

"Are you okay?" Yi Tianyun quickly laid her down on the floor and said, "Let me fix it."

She wanted to reject Yi Tianyun's offer as she wanted to finish it herself, but as she was about to say something, Yi Tianyun took off his mask, revealed his true face and said, "You already promised to marry me, and because of that, I can't let you die there!"

Yi Tianyun's voice was familiar to Ye Qingxuan. He also made sure that Ye Wan'er and Elder Yan couldn't see what he was doing.

"You, you, this, this…" Ye Qingxuan was shocked as she immediately recognized Yi Tianyun's face and voice. She also blushed from Yi Tianyun's teasing, but as soon as he took off the mask, he wore it again so as not to raise suspicion to the others.

Yi Tianyun said, "Fixing the Divine Rune won't be a problem for me, and you should trust me to finish repairing all the remaining Divine Runes."

Ye Qingxuan's eyes twinkled in admiration; she knew that Yi Tianyun was a man of his word, "Haha, okay."

Yi Tianyun then lifted her from the ground and laid her on the nearby bench, beside Elder Yan.

Chapter 293

Yi Tianyun repaired the Master Level Divine Rune, to everyone's surprise!

Ye Wan'er felt awkward as she already bragged to Yi Tianyun while, as of the moment, Yi Tianyun was definitely more capable than she was.

Elder Yan, on the side, was looking at Yi Tianyun in awe; that was the first time that he saw a young man capable of becoming a Divine Rune Master and a 4th Grade alchemy at the same time!

Yi Tianyun didn't pay attention to the stare that both of them gave him; instead, he was focused on repairing the Divine Rune.

It was the hardest Divine Rune that he got a chance to fix, but it could still be done, although it may take some time to finish.

Ye Qingxuan looked at him with a clear familiarity now; she couldn't help but ask about Yi Tianyun's cheat cultivation too, as she became curious because Yi Tianyun seemed to be capable of everything.

Yi Tianyun also noticed that her Favorability already increased to 200 points!

Yi Tianyun answered her question while joking around, the atmosphere around them was as if Yi Tianyun and Ye Qingxuan were long-time friends!

"Now, would you be a gentleman and finish fixing the Divine Rune faster, please?" Ye Qingxuan said with a light smile on her face and a joking tone on her voice.

"I can do that if I use the Heavenly Eyes. Now, wouldn't it be a problem for you if I use it?" Yi Tianyun said teasingly.

"Well, it may be a problem. But if you really have to use it, then use it! I will deal with the backlash later!" Ye Qingxuan said casually.

"I really hope that it was really you when I hear your surname after hearing that someone had saved my sister from the Netherworld Empire, but after I see you for the first time today, I admit that I was a little bit disappointed! But it turned out that things were never easy around you!" Ye Qingxuan said while snickering teasingly.

"Well, I am afraid that my identity is quite special nowadays! I have so many enemies and people who are willing to kill me for a bunch of money. Plus, housing me in my real identity could endanger your position!" Yi Tianyun said while smirking at Ye Qingxuan.

Ye Qingxuan didn't really believe everything that Yi Tianyun had said, but she didn't want to question Yi Tianyun, he has been right so far!

"Well, your race doesn't even let me enter this place to come and see you myself, don't they know that you would be marrying me in the future?" Yi Tianyun said teasingly.

Ye Qingxuan blushed again from Yi Tianyun's teasing.

"I couldn't! I couldn't just marry someone out of love like that! I need to think about my people and marry the next Spirit Race King." Ye Qingxuan said while blushing slightly.

"Well, if that is really the case, I guess I should hurry up and finish repairing all of this now!" Yi Tianyun said with a smile on his face.

With the help of Yi Tianyun, the Master Level Divine Rune was repaired much faster than anyone could hope for!

The Divine Rune released a dazzling light, proving the Divine Rune was up and running!

Yi Tianyun sighed in relief after knowing that he had done the best he could on that Divine Rune!

'DING'

'Successfully Fixed 5th Grade Divine Rune!'

'Reward: 300.000 Exp, 500 Divine Rune Proficiency.'

'DING'

'Completed the 2nd step [Restore the Divine Rune in the Spirit Pagoda!] from the [Rescue the Spirit Race!] questline!'

'Reward: 10.000.000 Exp, 100.000 CPs, 10.000 Divine Rune Proficiency, 50 Spirit Race Favorability.'

'DING'

'Congratulation to the host for successfully breakthrough to 3rd Level of Core Transformation Stage!'

'DING'

'3rd Step quest [Repel the Intruder from Netherworld Empire!] from [Rescue the Spirit Race!] questline has been accepted!'

'Completion reward: 30.000.000 Exp, 100.000 CPs, 5.000 SPs, 50 Spirit Race Favorability.'

The next step on finishing the [Rescue the Spirit Race!] quest popped up after Yi Tianyun finished repairing the Divine Rune, he knew that the [Spirit Race King] title was so near that he could taste it!

Chapter 294

Yi Tianyun was very satisfied to see that that quest gave him a good amount of exp to level up.

Ye Qingxuan showed relief on her face as she saw that all the Divine Rune had been repaired. She told Yi Tianyun, "You should get a rest after repairing these many Divine Runes in the Spirit Pagoda."

Yi Tianyun quickly refused and said, "This is the perfect time to strike the invader who is trying to enter the Spirit Race's Sanctuary."

Yi Tianyun said that to finish his quest as quickly as he possibly could. He didn't want to waste any time doing nothing.

Everyone was a little bit startled that Yi Tianyun knew the situation they were currently in. So, without hiding anything, Ye Qingxuan said, "We have been fighting against the outside force for quite some time, and the Medicinal Pills that you refined earlier were immediately used to treat their injuries. The enemy is bringing along several experts for that attack, making it harder to repel them."

"How many and how powerful was the enemy this time around?" Yi Tianyun asked curiously. He knows that he would have a hard time dealing with any Void Spirit Expert. But if there wasn't any, he could stomp them with no problem!

"The enemy was led by Lei Yun and several elders who already betrayed the Spirit Race; they were all in the Core Transformation stage. Some Netherworld Empire's forces were mixed in too; there were at least several Core Transformation stage cultivators among them." Ye Qingxuan said nervously.

Yi Tianyun was a little surprised to hear that no Void Spirit cultivator was participating in the attack at that time.

Yi Tianyun quickly showed a confident smile and said, "I will kick them out alone!"

Ye Wan'er was startled to hear Yi Tianyun say that he would fight their enemy alone, she couldn't help but ask, "What is your plan?"

"Well, I will kick them and maybe punch them out while I am at it!" Yi Tianyun said while smiling to Ye Wan'er.

"I will come with you!" Ye Qingxuan said, making everyone even more surprised.

"Against that many enemies, no one knows what will happen on the battlefield! Big Brother may not be able to cover you at all times!" Ye Wan'er quickly became mad because Ye Qingxuan said something so impulsive.

Elder Yan also said, "Maybe you will only drag him down on the battlefield. You can't go out into the battlefield, especially in your current condition. If you get caught, the Spirit Race will be doomed!"

Ye Qingxuan said, "It will be fine. With the Divine Runes fixed, the forest will be confusing, and I will be hiding until I can unleash my surprise attack. I can hide again if the enemy finds me, and my surprise attack doesn't kill the enemy."

While Elder Yan and Ye Wan'er weren't convinced that Ye Qingxuan would remain safe out there, Ye Qingxuan kept making plans on her attack with Yi Tianyun in the east forest!

Yi Tianyun said, "You should hide when I kill annoying enemies who are separated from their groups. Also, strike the one you hate the most. I will give you time to do it, and you don't need to cover me, I am fine."

Ye Qingxuan nodded her head as she agreed on Yi Tianyun's plan, she quickly said, "The perfect time to attack the enemy is when they are trapped in the forest."

Elder Yan and Ye Wan'er said that they wanted to come and help out too, but Ye Qingxuan quickly rejected them as both of them needed to guard the Spirit Pagoda if, by any chance, the enemy successfully entered the Sanctuary.

Elder Yan and Ye Wan'er quickly nodded their heads in understanding. Although they really wanted to go to the battlefield too, they couldn't ignore the Saintess' order!

After the briefing, Ye Qingxuan quickly left the Spirit Pagoda with Yi Tianyun.

On the way toward the East Forest, Yi Tianyun teased Ye Qingxuan once again by saying that she was too protective of her sister.

"You know, I would do anything to make sure that she was safe and sound. I don't want my sister to join the fight as I know that it would be too dangerous for her." Ye Qingxuan said confidently. She really means everything she said!

"Well, if that is really what you want, then I would gladly make it happen for you!" Yi Tianyun said.

Ye Qingxuan nodded her head. She felt that Yi Tianyun's words were really soothing and that she could rely on Yi Tianyun more.

Chapter 295

Ye Qingxuan quickly led Yi Tianyun to the guard camp near the East Forest, and she quickly assembled a team of Spirit Core guards to join them in repelling the intruder. Yi Tianyun let her do all of that although he thought it was futile! He will definitely beat them all by himself!

"Is this all the people that the Spirit Race could afford right now?" Yi Tianyun asked Ye Qingxuan.

"I am embarrassed to say that this is all our force can give right now. The Netherworld Empire had caught almost all of our warriors." Ye Qingxuan said embarrassedly. Although Spirit Race was referred to as a Race or a Family, they were definitely a top faction in par with top 3rd Grade Faction. Because of that, Yi Tianyun was a little disappointed that the power Spirit Race currently had was so insignificant.

Ye Qingxuan also said that she has already sent many men to break into Netherworld Prison, but none of them ever returned. Let alone rescuing any Spirit Race Prisoner there, they couldn't even come back safely! She also said that they needed a key to release all of the Spirit Race Prisoners and that the key was nowhere to be found inside the Prison!

After Ye Qingxuan's explanation, Yi Tianyun remembered the Prison Key that he got after killing Cheng Feng back then, the key was described as Spirit Race Prison Key, and maybe that was just what he needed to break in and release all of the Spirit Race inside the Prison!

Ye Qingxuan also said that she needed to break out the Old Ancestors of Spirit Race who were captured and detained inside the Prison, she was afraid that the Old Ancestors would be tortured to reveal their secrets and that was not good considering their age and their weakened cultivation.

Ye Qingxuan was visibly angered after saying all that; it was clear that she had so much respect for her elder.

Yi Tianyun tried to comfort Ye Qingxuan by saying that when they successfully killed all of the intruders who threatened the Spirit Race Sanctuary, he himself will personally go to Spirit Race Prison and release all of the Spirit Race Prisoners being held there!

Ye Qingxuan was visibly relieved, although just a little, and immediately led the group into the East Forest to deal with the intruder. The group of Spirit Race cultivators led by Ye Qingxuan quickly hid in the forest for a chance to ambush any intruder who came their way, while Yi Tianyun walked forward casually like a tourist.

Yi Tianyun and Ye Qingxuan have already agreed that Yi Tianyun could kill all of the intruders by himself if he were really capable of doing so, except for Lei Yun, she wanted to deal with Lei Yun herself! Ye Qingxuan didn't seem to lose the slightest sympathy toward any of the traitors who also came with Lei Yun; she told Yi Tianyun to kill them all without hesitation!

While searching for the intruder, although Yi Tianyun and Ye Qingxuan split, they weren't that far apart, but although Ye Qingxuan had activated her own Spiritual Search, she kept losing track of Yi Tianyun, it was like Yi Tianyun didn't have any aura at all, which she thought was very weird at first until Yi Tianyun kept showing up in front of her!

"Where are you just now? I dont seem to notice you anywhere!" Ye Qianxuan immediately asked Yi Tianyun about that phenomenon when she was finally close enough.

"I am just hiding my aura, that is all! I am always near you the entire time!" Yi Tianyun said while trying to act confusedly.

As they finished conversing with each other, Yi Tianyun sensed someone was coming and quickly gave a signal for Ye Qianxuan to hide. Yi Tianyun walked closer to the intruder so that he could hear them talking among themselves to receive information.

Yi Tianyun heard that the man in command was someone called Wu Peng and that he was currently leading several Spirit Race Traitors to breach the Divine Rune and that he was having trouble as the Divine Rune has already been fixed while he was already in the middle of the forest maze!

The Spirit Race Traitor kept saying that they couldn't do anything as the Divine Rune was already fixed and that they didn't have the power to breach that area. Wu Peng was angered by the Spirit Race Traitor's inability to resolve that matter while he himself was in dire need to prove himself! Ye Qianxuan tried to talk to Yi Tianyun with a sound transmission, but as soon as she talked, she could no longer sense nor see Yi Tianyun.

At the same time, Yi Tianyun was already behind Wu Peng's group while asking for help, saying that he was lost in that jungle!

Chapter 296

Wu Peng looked behind after hearing a man's voice and jumped immediately after seeing that a man that he had never seen before was right there without ever sensing him. At first, he thought that Yi Tianyun was a Spirit Race, but as he saw Yi Tianyun closely, he knew that Yi Tianyun wasn't one, so he ordered his man to kill Yi Tianyun for surprising him like that.

The Spirit Race Traitors immediately carried out the order, and as they charged toward Yi Tianyun, he casually kicked their chest one by one! He was immediately killing them as they were flung upwards!

'DING'

'Successfully killed a Spirit Race Traitor!'

'Reward: 150.000 Exp, 3.600 CPs, 200 SPs, 800 Divine Rune Proficiency, Heaven Spirit Step Martial Art, Heaven Spirit Fist, Heavenly Spirit Stroke, Tyrant Rune Paper.'

"What do you have to say for yourself now?" Yi Tianyun said coldly as he killed the remaining Spirit Race Traitors one by one.

Wu Peng, who was angered after seeing the Spirit Race that he brought with him that day, was being killed, immediately took out a blood-red knife, and immediately charged toward Yi Tianyun himself.

Yi Tianyun sighed after seeing his enemies were still stupid enough to charge towards him after seeing everyone in their group was killed like a cockroach! Yi Tianyun quickly parried Wu Peng's attack and smashed his knife into iron scrap with only his fist and immediately punched Wu Peng's chest, flinging him backward toward the tree!

Wu Peng's body was slammed into the trees hard, while it surely made a dent on the tree, but Yi Tianyun saw that the tree was unusually hard as it was supposed to be toppled since Wu Peng's body slammed it!

Wu Peng groaned and rolled over on the ground, he tried to stand up but he couldn't as he found out that his internal organs were bleeding with only one punch from the unknown man and he was coughing blood from the impact itself!

"No wonder you didn't die instantly with that heavy armor on your body, but well, it was useless nonetheless!" Yi Tianyun said indifferently.

Wu Peng was dead not long after that, and the rest of the Spirit Race Traitors who were still alive quickly checked on Wu Peng and shouted to Yi Tianyun if he knew who he had just killed or not.

"Do you think I am blind? Don't you know I saw what armor you wear? Did you think that because you are from the Netherworld Empire, you would be safe?" Yi Tianyun said coldly.

Yi Tianyun quickly signed for Ye Qingxuan to come forward, and once the traitor saw their former Saintess, their complexion changed! Ye Qingxuan quickly froze the feet of all the traitors as soon as she saw they were about to run away. She quickly killed every traitor on the spot, except for one.

The traitor started to ask for mercy from the Saintess and said that he was forced to join the Netherworld Empire, or they would kill him!

"I couldn't trust any of your words! Even if what you were saying were all true, you could escape or do something noteworthy to prevent Netherworld Empire advancement! But instead, you gladly sell your own race to the enemy in exchange for your own life!" Ye Qingxuan said coldly.

The traitor kept asking for mercy as he said that Elder Lei Yun was the one who instigated them to betray the Spirit Race while promising that their life will be better in the Netherworld Empire, but the truth was their lives was like a dog once they pledge their allegiance to Netherworld Empire, they were ordered to work like a slave and eat like a dog!

Ye Qingxuan was a little bit startled by the traitor's words, but she eventually said that he had a brain to think for himself and therefore needed to be punished! She quickly whipped the traitor's head, immediately beheaded the traitor head!

After killing all traitors that Yi Tianyun didn't have time to kill, Ye Qingxuan sighed, she thought that she would find relief after killing many traitors, but instead, all she felt was pain! She didn't want to kill anyone that she once thought was a family!

Yi Tianyun, who has been watching Ye Qingxuan for quite a while, understood that the Saintess must have felt pain after killing her own race! He felt that he needed to leave her alone to mourn the death of her people.

Chapter 297

The Netherworld Empire had done that practice for quite a long time!

They will force some of them to join and then make the rest of the faction join them too!

That way, they could receive many new cultivators and destroy one faction that could threaten them in the future!

In many cases, something like that would be good on the smaller factions to be able to merge with a bigger one, but that is not the case in the Netherworld Empire!

They would reap all kinds of benefits they could get from the small factions and later on disposed of them like garbage!

Heaven's Top Mansion was one example of the atrocity that the Netherworld Empire was trying to do. They would invite the top brass of a faction to join them, and then make them attack the faction from the inside to betray their own faction and then corrupt the faction slowly.

If it was not because of Yi Tianyun, The Heaven's Top Mansion would've fallen to the Netherworld Empire's hands!

The Spirit Race was currently facing the same issue, their top brass had already joined the Netherworld Empire as a traitor to the Spirit Race, and now they tried to pin the traitor with the Spirit Race themselves!

Ye Qingxuan felt the pain in her heart from all that sad circumstance. She was sad to see her own people fight amongst themselves like that. Her hatred towards the Netherworld Empire keeps growing everyday. All she wanted was to destroy the Netherworld Empire and release the captured Spirit Race, who were being imprisoned inside the Netherworld Empire's Prison!

"Relax, I am here to help you! I will not leave until the Spirit Race is safe!" Yi Tianyun said to reassure Ye Qingxuan.

"This is all because of the Netherworld Empire! I will make sure they pay for all their mistakes!" Ye Qingxuan said confidently with a little bit of anger in her voice.

While Yi Tianyun listened to Ye Qingxuan's rant, Wu Peng, who they thought was already dead, groaned in pain.

Yi Tianyun and Qingxuan immediately walked over and looked at Wu Peng curiously.

Wu Peng immediately said, "If you kill me, the Netherworld Empire will uproot the Spirit Race anytime soon!"

Wu Peng tried to throw something towards Ye Qingxuan, but Yi Tianyun was so much faster than him, Yi Tianyun quickly kicked him, and he was slammed to the trees harder than before!

"You still want to fight me with those injuries? Are you that stupid? But don't worry, it is not the Spirit Race who will be destroyed in the end. It will be the Netherworld Empire!" Yi Tianyun said casually.

Yi Tianyun quickly touched Wu Peng's body and activated his Absorbing Stars Great Technique, absorbing the Spiritual Energy from Wu Peng's body!

In a matter of seconds, Wu Peng's body was visibly getting weaker and exhausted because his Spiritual Energy was extorted from his body.

"What would you like to do to this guy?" Yi Tianyun asked Ye Qingxuan.

"I would like him dead!" Ye Qingxuan said boldly.

Yi Tianyun nodded his head and then kicked Wu Peng as hard as he could, flinging Wu Peng one last time toward the tree; he was finally dead after that kick!

'DING'

'Successfully killed Wu Peng!'

'Reward: 830.000 Exp, 4.300 CPs, 300 SPs, Bloodthirsty Chop Martial Art, Demon Blood Soaring Technique, Bloody Monster Knife, Nirvana Armor, 500.000 Exp Pills!

Yi Tianyun also skilfully took Wu Peng's Storage Ring, which was witnessed by Ye Qingxuan. She teased Yi Tianyun for being a sleazy bandit who took a dead man's possession.

"Well, it's better than letting it go to waste on a dead person." Yi Tianyun said confidently.

"How could you become this strong, this fast? What is your secret?" Ye Qingxuan asked curiously.

"I don't really know myself! I keep on fighting every day, and this is what I become." Yi Tianyun said vaguely. He couldn't tell anyone about his system, not without making anybody confused.

Ye Qingxuan was confused by Yi Tianyun's answer and decided not to ask about it any further for the time being. She quickly gave a sign to Yi Tianyun that they should press onward to find another intruder group and kill them all one by one!

At the same time, Liao Cheng was looking around the forest desperately for anything suspicious. He was already stuck in that maze for a day, and he would really like to get out of there!

"Go find a way to break through this array!"

The Spirit Race Traitor, who was beside him, also looked disgruntled, he knew that it would be almost impossible to break through that forest maze since the Great Array has been fixed!

"We can't break through for a while, we need time."

"What a bunch of useless things! Your Spirit Race is very incompetent. You will be punished when we come back!"

The Spirit Race Traitor kept apologizing and said, "Trace Confusion Great Array can't be solved without knowing its pattern, and the pattern changed randomly, even the Elder will have a hard time to break through the forest!"

"If we are too slow, Wu Peng will take all the credit!"

Liao Cheng also felt irritated! He began to shout for the Spirit Race Traitor to step up their work so he won't be left too far from Wu Peng!

Yi Tianyun suddenly appeared among them and said, "Don't worry, Wu Peng won't take your credit because he was already dead!"

Ye Qingxuan was hiding in the dark, ready for a sneak attack.

Chapter 298

Liao Cheng immediately took out his weapon and stared at Yi Tianyun coldly.

"Who are you? how could you come here undetected?" Liao Cheng asked Yi Tianyun.

"I am the one that will end your life soon!" Yi Tianyun said while smirking evilly.

Yi Tianyun quickly rushed toward Liao Cheng and kicked him while using his Dragon God Bloodline!

Ye Qingxuan also came to help Yi Tianyun deal with the traitor. She froze the feet of the traitors to make sure that none of them escaped!

Yi Tianyun and Ye Qingxuan easily killed all of them in a short amount of time.

"Why are you getting stronger every time I see you fight?" Ye Qingxuan asked curiously.

"The enemy is just too weak! I am not a strong one!" Yi Tianyun answered indifferently.

"You know, if it isn't because of you, we will get in so many difficulties right now." Ye Qingxuan said while smiling at Yi Tianyun.

"You know you could rely on me with everything!" Tianyun said while smiling toward Ye QIngxuan too.

Ye Qingxuan flashed a beautiful smile towards Yi Tianyun and said, "We should go to the next place."

With Ye Qingxuan's leadership, they quickly annihilated the next intruders that they encountered after Liao Cheng, sadly that group of intruders didn't even have any Core Transformation Expert with them.

When they went to another area, they noticed that there was a Core Transformation Expert who was attacking some of the Spirit Race's people that Ye Qingxuan brought earlier.

Yi Tianyun quickly stopped him by kicking the expert's chest while saying that he will take him on instead.

Once again, that group of intruders was annihilated by Yi Tianyun and Ye Qingxuan, the group of intruders was separated into several groups to destroy the Trace Confusion Great Array in batches.

But once the Great Array was fixed, that was how they ended up in such a situation!

"The intruder was almost annihilated now, Lei Yun's group was the only one left!" Ye Qingxuan told Yi Tianyun.

While saying that information to Yi Tianyun, he could feel that Ye Qingxuan's anger filled the air because of that person called Lei Yun.

Yi Tianyun was so excited to face him, as he would kill a man who caused grief to Ye Qingxuan!

"If I see something off with Lei Yun, I would immediately kill all of them, so there was no casualty in Spirit Race!" Yi Tianyun said confidently toward Ye Qingxuan.

As they got close enough to see Lei Yun, he shouted, "Come out! I can feel Ye Qingxuan's glare from a few miles away!"

Ye Qingxuan's complexions changed, if she was recognized like that, then they would have lost their advantage!

Yi Tianyun raised his eyebrows as he didn't know why Ye Qingxuan was recognized so soon like that, he immediately tried to look at the group of intruders in front of him. He noticed a strong build man with a dense Divine Rune engraved on his body.

He quickly used his Appraisal Eye to look at Lei Yun's stats.

'Lei Yun: 7th Level Core Transformation Stage.'

'Enchantment: Thunderbolt Divine Rune, Excellent power on Thunder attribute.'

'Combat Power: 3.800.000'

'Equipment: High Grade Soul Tools'

'Weakness: Earth Attribute Attack'

'Martial Art: Thunder Dragon Flash, Thunder Dragon Secret Art, Thunder God Befall.'

'Chance on drops: Thunder Dragon Flash, Thunder Dragon Secret Art, Thunder God Befall, Thunder God Suit.'

Yi Tianyun felt excited upon seeing Lei Yun's stat, as he thought Lei Yun was pretty strong, maybe even stronger than any 7th Level Core Transformation Stage Expert!

But of course, Lei Yun was no match to him!

Chapter 299

Lei Yun was strong, maybe the strongest out of all the intruders that day.

Yi Tianyun knew immediately that was why the Netherworld Empire used Lei Yun as the prized Spirit Race Traitor because he was a genius cultivator!

But as the Netherworld Empire prized possession, they didn't trust Lei Yun completely.

In instance, the Netherworld Empire placed one of their ministers to monitor Lei Yun's action throughout the attack against the Spirit Race.

Because of that, Yi Tianyun must defeat two Core Transformation Experts in Lei Yun's group, but it wasn't a big deal for Yi Tianyun as it would only mean that he will get another treasure!

"Oh, are you not willing to come out?"

Lei Yun sneered as Ye Qingxuan didn't come out of hiding and then threw a thunder ball in Ye Qingxuan's direction.

Ye Qingxuan was startled by that attack and immediately blocked the attack with her whip, but Yi Tianyun quickly blocked it with his hands before it even reached Ye Qingxuan!

Yi Tianyun immediately noticed that the Trace Confusion Great Array didn't have any effect on Lei Yun. Ye Qingxuan quickly looked at Yi Tianyun's hand and saw that Yi Tianyun's hand wasn't damaged at all!

"Your helper wasn't bad at all!" Lei Yun said as he saw Ye Qingxuan and Yi Tianyun.

"He was already familiar enough with this Great Array, he won't receive the full force. We couldn't get close to him as he could see any weird distortion in a 15 meter radius!" Ye Qingxuan said to Yi Tianyun.

"Don't you worry! I wouldn't get any closer than I am now, at least for now!" Yi Tianyun said while smirking at Ye Qingxuan. He immediately took out his Cold Ice Divine Bow from his inventory.

Ye Qingxuan looked at the Divine Bow in awe, since she had a high affinity with the ice element, she felt that the bow was the prettiest bow that she had ever seen.

Yi Tianyun quickly used the Cold Ice Fury, Cold Ice Divine Bow's special attack at the cost of 5.000 CPs with Lei Yun as his target.

Lei Yun's complexion quickly changed after he saw the ice arrow fly toward him. He shouted at the people near him to get away while he himself tried to get away from the arrow's trajectory.

Unfortunately, the Netherworld Empire's Minister wasn't able to get away from the arrow in time, so instead of hitting Lei Yun, the arrow hit the minister!

'DING'

'Successfully killed Netherworld Empire Minister Mu Yun!'

'Reward: 930.000 Exp, 4.600 CPs, 200 SPs, Netherworld Secret Act, Turning Over Heaven's Palm, Moon Heavenly Sword, Heavenly Feather Boots, 100.000 Exp Pill.'

'DING'

'Successfully killed Spirit Race Traitor!'

'Reward: 240.000 Exp, 3.100 CPs, 100 SPs, 400 Divine Rune Proficiency Points.'

'DING'

'Successfully killed . . .'

Everyone was shocked to see that with only an arrow, the damage done to the intruder was so massive that even a Netherworld Empire's Minister was killed by it!

Ye Qingxuan stared at the arrow path with a wide eye; she couldn't shake the feeling that Yi Tianyun was far more powerful than he said he was.

Yi Tianyun didn't stop there; he shot three consecutive arrows with the Cold Ice Divine Bow to Lei Yun while activating his Crazy Damage Mode!

The arrow hit Lei Yun precisely on his chest; the effect was immediately shown as his body gradually froze.

But it didn't seem that he would die just because of that, he quickly activated his thunder Divine Runes on his body and thawed the ice that slowly froze his body.

"Who are you? What faction are you from? Did the Spirit Race pay you? I will double your pay if you join us, or even triple it if you want!" Lei Yun said desperately.

"Well, I was being paid by permission to kill the Netherworld Empire's people! If you can kill the Netherworld Empire's Emperor, then I will definitely join you!" Yi Tianyun said with a smile on his face.

Chapter 300

"You think you're smart, talking to me like that! You dare to mock the Netherworld Empire, you stupid shit!" Lei Yun said with a red face. He was enraged after hearing Yi Tianyun's bold comment.

Ye Qingxuan was giggling at the side as she couldn't hold back her laughter.

"I don't know what you are talking about, but one thing for sure is that I don't want anything to do with your filthy Netherworld Empire! When I arrived here, they tried to get rid of me, and therefore, now is my time to get rid of them!" Yi Tianyun said coldly.

Lei Yun was startled after hearing Yi Tianyun's remark; it was clear that the Netherworld Empire provoked Yi Tianyun, and he will be the one reaping what they sowed!

"You will pay for betraying the Spirit Race! You hear me!" Ye Qingxuan shouted in the side lane.

"I didn't betray the Spirit Race! The Spirit Race was the one betraying me! How could you be dumb enough not to join us in the Netherworld Empire! The Spirit Race will thrive there!" Lei Yun quickly answered.

"It is better to make the Netherworld Emperor the new Spirit King too!" He adds.

Ye Qingxuan looked at Lei Yun funnily, "Are you out of your mind? Are you really that stupid?"

The Emperor didn't have what it took to become the Spirit King, did Lei Yun think that the Spirit King's title was like a candy which could be passed randomly to another person? No, Lei Yun was obviously selling the Spirit Race to have better resources for himself!

"Now, I am glad that you have not yet become our Spirit King. The Spirit Race would be doomed with you as our leader!" Ye Qingxuan said condescendingly.

"You better stop now before I can't control myself!" Lei Yun said warningly.

"You know, soon, I will become the new Minister of Divine Runes in the Netherworld Empire. If the Spirit Race would think for a second, I will give you a chance one more time to join with me!" Lei Yun said confidently.

"I would also give you one last proposition! I will let you walk away safely if you release the Spirit Race and especially the Old Ancestor from the prison!" Ye Qingxuan said confidently.

"Hahaha, did you really think that the Old Ancestor was still useful? He was tortured every day in prison! They even use the Soul Searching Technique toward him! there is no way that he was still sane after all that!" Lei Yun said while laughing profusely.

Ye Qingxuan was surprised to hear the words that came out of Lei Yun's mouth; she was afraid that the worst had happened!

The Old Ancestor had been used as a target to the Soul Searching Technique to extract the information about their Divine Runes Great Array!

Suddenly, Lei Yun stomped his foot to activate the Divine Runes that he had already prepared beforehand. A terrifying electric current was discharged in the sky, and combined with Lei Yun's Spiritual Aura, he controlled the electricity and shot it towards Yi Tianyun and Ye Qingxuan!

The attack was at the level of the Core Transformation Peak Stage Attack!

Yi Tianyun was excited to see that attack; he will have some additional exp from absorbing that energy attack! He used his Absorbing Stars Great Technique to block that attack, leaving no one from his side damaged at all!

Lei Yun was shocked to see that his attack didn't even hit anything!

"Is this the best that you can do?" Yi Tianyun taunts Lei Yun for his weak attack.

"Did you have anything else that you wanted to ask? If you do, I will capture him alive for you." Yi Tianyun asked Ye Qingxuan.

Ye Qingxuan was surprised and said that if that wasn't too much trouble, then Ye Qingxuan wished Yi Tianyun to do so!

Yi Tianyun nodded and immediately shot a couple of arrows from the Ice Cold Divine Bow, Which Lei Yun quickly dodged. With his Divine Rune revolving around Lightning Attribute, he had an amazing speed!

Lei Yun immediately tried to escape from Yi Tianyun as he knew that he needed to be prepared before fighting someone like Yi Tianyun, but unfortunately for him, Yi Tianyun had the same speed if not faster than him!

Yi Tianyun quickly chased after Lei Yun and caught up in no time!

"What?"

Lei Yun who felt that his life was in danger quickly shot a lightning bolt towards Yi Tianyun, but once again, that lightning bolt was nothing to Yi Tianyun, he blocked Lei Yun's attack with ease, and because Lei Yun stopped for a second to shoot the Lightning bolt, Yi Tianyun quickly caught up and punched Lei Yun in the chest as hard as he could, flinging and smashing him against the hard tree!

"You know, your lightning based attack was hardly even tickling me!" Yi Tianyun said while signing in boredom.
