On the Wind Lan Sword, Ye Yun was still quickly reading a scroll of profound techniques, specifically the Heaven-tier top-tier Flying Moon Sword Art he had obtained earlier.
This sword art was arguably the most supreme profound technique on the Profound Sky Continent, and its power was naturally terrifying.
Therefore, Ye Yun intended to use his heaven-defying comprehension to learn some of the Flying Moon Sword Art within this extremely short period, keeping it as a trump card.
As it turned out, he could indeed learn it. Within the minute or two of traversing space, he had mastered the basic sword stances of the Flying Moon Sword Art.
"Ye Yun! You've finally come out. I've been waiting for a long time!"
As soon as Ye Yun emerged from the Sage's Tomb, an ominous voice echoed from afar. It was none other than Mu Yangchen of the Xuan Ming Immortal Palace.
Concurrently, the Xuan Ming Immortal Palace cultivators, who were already prepared, surrounded him simultaneously.
Six peak Life and Death Realm experts, three half-step Dao Forging Realm cultivators, and that one Dao Forging Realm expert!
The Xuan Ming Immortal Palace contingent surged forward first. Mu Yangchen stared at Ye Yun with a chilling gaze, his killing intent almost palpable.
"Didn't expect this, did you? We meet again."
Ye Yun glanced at him indifferently and said, "What a coincidence. I was just looking for you too, Young Palace Master Mu Yangchen of the Xuan Ming Immortal Palace."
The confrontation between these two could be said to be a trigger that set off a chain reaction. The other Immortal Palace contingents also began to move.
The cultivators of the Fu Long Immortal Palace also surrounded them, forming a pincer movement with the Xuan Ming Immortal Palace, seemingly intending to trap Ye Yun.
In addition, Yu Wenya and Lan Zhaoyue followed closely with their teams, intending to observe the actions of the Xuan Ming and Fu Long Immortal Palaces.
High in the sky, this sudden encirclement stunned those who were unaware.
"Who is that person in the sky? How can they attract such attention from the four great Immortal Palaces?"
"Haven't you heard? That's Ye Yun! The one from the Ancient Dao Sword Sect in the Eastern Region!"
"What? He's here too. Judging by this situation, could it be that he obtained the Sage's treasure?"
"Who knows? In any case, Elder Ye is in big trouble this time, being targeted by so many Immortal Palaces."
The onlookers were not foolish. In this situation, it was highly likely that the movements of the four great Immortal Palaces were related to the treasure within the Sage's Tomb.
Looking at the commotion around him, Ye Yun couldn't help but scoff, "This is quite a grand welcoming ceremony."
He hadn't been here before, so he hadn't truly witnessed the contingents of the four great Immortal Palaces. Now, the scene was indeed somewhat breathtaking.
Beside him, Lin Xueyan and Bai Xiaoxiao nervously clutched his arm, seemingly intimidated by the scene.
At this moment, Mu Yangchen snorted coldly, "Stop the nonsense. Not long ago, my brother was killed in the Ancient Dragon Mountain Range. Was it you?"
He was shrewd, knowing that acting under the pretense of seizing treasure would sound unseemly and lack justification. Therefore, he directly brought up the matter of Mu Yangtuo.
Upon hearing this, Ye Yun responded frankly, raising an eyebrow.
"You mean that bandit who tried to snatch my sword? That guy deserved to die. People like him are just wasting air."
"Ye Yun, you're seeking death!"
His brother being insulted in public intensified Mu Yangchen's killing intent. Ye Yun, however, was fearless, having already prepared for a confrontation.
At this moment, Mo Chenyu, who was nearby, also jumped out, sneering at Ye Yun.
"Ye Yun, Ye Yun, it seems I'm not the only one who wants to get rid of you!"
His gaze was sharp, and he said in a deep voice, "You dared to injure me before. Today, no matter what, I will have my revenge!"
There were few people in this world who could survive facing two great Immortal Palaces simultaneously. In this situation, Ye Yun had almost no chance of leaving alive.
Ye Yun's gaze swept over him, and he sneered.
"What, Great Palace Master Mo, wasn't dying once last time enough? Do you want to die again today? It seems you've forgotten how pathetic you looked when you begged for mercy last time."
His past humiliation exposed, Mo Chenyu gnashed his teeth in hatred, but he maintained his composure and did not rashly confront Ye Yun.
He fixed his gaze on Ye Yun and snorted coldly.
"This time, you are the one who should die! I don't believe you can leave alive today!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Wenya's clear voice rang out.
"Then I'm afraid Palace Master Mo will be disappointed. He will leave alive today."
Seeing Yu Wenya step forward and openly support Ye Yun, Mo Chenyu's expression turned grim.
"What? This is not your Eastern Region. Is Palace Master Yu going to meddle in others' affairs?"
"What do you mean meddling?"
Yu Wenya looked at Ye Yun and said with a smile, "Long before we set out, I formed an alliance with Elder Ye. We are now true allies."
"Do you think I will let you kill my ally in front of everyone?"
Lan Zhaoyue, not far away, echoed her sentiment.
"That's right! Ye Yun is also an ally of our Linglong Immortal Palace. Anyone who tries to harm him is an enemy of our Linglong Immortal Palace!"
Their declaration made Mu Yangchen and Mo Chenyu's expressions turn grim. If it was like this, a bloody battle might truly ensue today.
Now, everyone else also felt that the atmosphere above was a bit off.
Judging by the situation, would the Xuan Ming Immortal Palace and the Fu Long Immortal Palace fight against the Yu Luo Immortal Palace and the Linglong Immortal Palace?
If that were to happen, it would undoubtedly be a major event for the entire continent! Many who knew their place quietly retreated, fearing they might be caught in the ensuing battle.
"Brother Ye, you can rest assured today. With our Linglong Immortal Palace here, we guarantee your safe departure!"
At this moment, Lan Zhaoye sidled up to Ye Yun, grinning and assuring him.
Seeing this, Ye Yun nodded, then said loudly to Yu Wenya and Lan Zhaoyue, "Today, thank you both, Young Palace Masters, for speaking up for me."
"However..."
Ye Yun's tone shifted, and he said with a smile, "This is a personal vendetta between myself and the Flying Dragon Immortal Palace and the Xuan Ming Immortal Palace. There's no need to trouble you two."
"If you truly consider me an ally, please take care of my three disciples for me later."
"As for this farce, I will settle it alone!"
These words, carrying profound energy, made everyone hear them clearly, yet simultaneously revealed looks of astonishment. They never expected Ye Yun to say this.
Good heavens, you refuse the support of two great Immortal Palaces and want to face the Xuan Ming Immortal Palace and the Fu Long Immortal Palace alone?!
Yu Wenya couldn't help but frown deeply and say, "Elder Ye, taking care of your disciples is no problem, but settling this matter cannot be taken lightly."
"Are you sure you want to face them alone?"
Ye Yun nodded, then smiled, "When have you ever seen me joke?"
This statement left Yu Wenya speechless; it seemed to be true.
Lin Xueyan and Bai Xiaoxiao, however, became worried, but they chose to trust their master.
They held onto Ye Yun's arms and said softly.
"Master, you must be careful!"
"Don't worry, your master isn't that easily dealt with."
Ye Yun smiled, then sent them into Yu Wenya's contingent. He then turned back and said loudly.
"Alright, Palace Mistress Yu, Palace Mistress Lan, everyone please retreat first, lest you be accidentally injured later."
Heeding Ye Yun's warning, everyone retreated.
After creating a safe distance, Yu Wenya and her group continued to stare at Ye Yun, worry etched on their faces.
Lan Zhaoyue, in particular, had her eyebrows furrowed into a deep frown.
"Ye Yun... isn't this too risky?"
Yu Wenya sighed softly and said, "Forget it, let's trust him. After all, how many surprises has he brought us over time?"
"Uh... that's true."
Lan Zhaoyue agreed with this statement and turned her gaze back to Ye Yun.
