At this moment, only Mu Yangchen and the team led by Mo Chenyu remained in the air, flanking Ye Yun from left and right.
Mu Yangchen glanced at Yu Wenya in the distance, then withdrew his gaze and said playfully.
"I thought you were going to rely on your wife for support, but I didn't expect you to have some backbone after all."
Ye Yun shrugged, responding with a faint smile, "If I can handle it myself, of course I won't trouble others."
After all, Ye Yun had a rough idea of what Yu Wenya and Lan Zhaoyue were plotting, so he was reluctant to borrow their strength unless absolutely necessary.
Including Xing Wu, she was probably watching from somewhere, waiting for him to call for her help.
However, seeking help is never as good as seeking help from oneself, especially when things haven't reached the worst possible situation!
Seeing his confidence, Mu Yangchen snorted and looked at Mo Chenyu, transmitting his voice.
"Palace Master Mo, why don't our two sides join forces? Let's take down Ye Yun in one go, so that Yu Wenya and Lan Zhaoyue won't interfere."
Mo Chenyu glanced at him, nodded, and transmitted his voice.
"Alright, let's go together!"
As both sides issued their commands, the cultivators of the Immortal Palaces were ready, each of them emanating vast spiritual energy.
Every person here was a powerful existence capable of dominating a region on the continent, and now they were all attacking Ye Yun together, the outcome seemed to be a foregone conclusion.
Everyone held their breath, watching with anticipation for the imminent battle, or perhaps a one-sided fight.
The two Foundation Establishment realm experts were both staring intently at Ye Yun. They wouldn't act unless they did, and when they did, it would be a thunderous strike!
Mu Hanye raised his sword and said coldly, "I've been hearing about your heaven-defying swordsmanship lately. I'd like to spar with you today."
Hearing this, Ye Yun remained calm and collected. He glanced at Mu Hanye and said.
"Unfortunately, you'll be disappointed, because your opponent is not me."
"Huh?"
Mu Hanye's eyes narrowed, and he snorted, "What? Do you think anyone else here can stop me?"
"No, no, no, perhaps not people, but other things might, for example..."
Ye Yun smiled and snapped his fingers lightly.
"Come on, I choose you, Xue Zhuque!"
Before his voice fell, surging ice-blue starlight erupted out of thin air before Ye Yun and rapidly condensed.
At the same time, snowflakes began to fall from the sky, starting with a few sparse flakes, and within seconds, it escalated into a blizzard.
In this short moment, the world was engulfed by wind and frost, and snow fell for miles.
At this moment, everyone's attention was drawn to the ice-blue light that materialized before Ye Yun. It was the center of the blizzard, and a bone-chilling cold began to creep into everyone's backs.
Regardless of their cultivation level or strength, everyone involuntarily shivered in the face of this cold current.
"Damn, what the hell is this? Such a cold aura."
"Yeah, it feels like our souls are about to freeze!"
"Shit, retreat quickly! Someone's already frozen into an ice block!"
Many people who were relatively close and had lower cultivation levels were silently frozen into ice blocks from a thousand meters away.
This terrifying scene made others' hair stand on end, and they all scrambled to retreat, fearing they would be affected by the cold.
Lan Zhaoyue in the distance stared blankly at the ice-blue light, and couldn't help but swallow.
"What terrifying thing has Ye Yun conjured up?"
No wonder he told them to retreat. If they were closer, even she wouldn't be able to last long.
The Immortal Palace powerhouses who surrounded Ye Yun naturally bore the brunt of the cold wind's erosion. Fortunately, their cultivation levels were relatively high, and they could withstand it for a while.
However, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, they saw the ice-blue starlight transform into a gigantic bird-like Xuan Beast!
Its body was covered in feathers like ice crystals, and its head seemed to bear an ice crown. From the moment it appeared, it seemed to be the master of the storm. Standing amidst the blizzard, it exuded a pressure that made everyone's hearts tremble.
This was the Xue Zhuque, one of the mythical sacred beasts of the Xuan Tian Continent!
In the distant sky, Xing Wu was sipping the fresh blood in her cup, planning to enjoy Ye Yun's struggle.
However, she was met with such a sacred beast, the Xue Zhuque. Due to the suddenness of the event, she spat out the small sip of tea she had just drunk.
A passerby below looked up in confusion.
"Huh? Is it raining?"
In the sky, Xing Wu suddenly sat up, staring intently at the Xue Zhuque in front of Ye Yun.
"How is this possible? Such a Xuan Beast exists in the Xuan Tian Continent?"
Or, even if it did exist, how did Ye Yun tame it?
With his cultivation at the Life and Death Realm, it was impossible for him to conquer a Foundation Establishment realm Xuan Beast through strength, especially one of this quality.
"How did this guy do it?"
Even she was shocked by Ye Yun's methods this time.
Let alone others. After being shocked, Yu Wenya said helplessly.
"Elder Ye really knows how to surprise people. A mount at the Foundation Establishment realm must be unique on the entire continent."
Lan Zhaoyue was also dumbfounded, and then felt frustrated.
"He's been hiding it really well. No wonder this guy dared to provoke the Immortal Palace so recklessly. So he had such a trump card..."
Generally speaking, Xuan Beasts of the same level are usually more powerful than humans. This Foundation Establishment realm Xuan Beast was definitely not something that a cultivator of the same level could handle.
This was indeed the case. As the Xue Zhuque flapped its wings and let out a cry, the biting cold current transformed into a hurricane and surged towards everyone.
Ye Yun was also startled by the aura emanating from the Xue Zhuque after seeing it. This was a bit beyond his expectations.
He had thought it would be good enough to have a Foundation Establishment realm first-tier Xuan Beast, but the terrifying aura of this Xue Zhuque was far beyond the first tier of the Foundation Establishment realm.
"See those two Foundation Establishment realm cultivators over there? Your mission is to stall them."
The Xue Zhuque seemed to understand his words, its ice-crystal-like eyes swept coldly at Mu Hanye and the other Foundation Establishment realm expert from the Fulong Immortal Palace, with a hint of disdain in its gaze.
Then, Ye Yun heard a cold female voice ring in his ear.
"Master, what if I kill them?"
Ye Yun was stunned at first, thinking that this was indeed a reward from the system, it was extraordinary, and it could even speak human language.
As for what she said, it made Ye Yun can't help but laugh. He patted its feathered wing and said heartily.
"If you can really kill them, you can have any reward you want!"
As soon as these words were spoken, it seemed to touch the Xue Zhuque's most cherished desire. Looking at Mu Hanye and the other two again, its killing intent intensified!
In an instant, the wind and snow around it surged, and its massive body emitted a dazzling blue light, carrying an unparalleled sense of pressure, and pounced towards Mu Hanye.
The powerhouses of the Xuanming Immortal Palace, upon sensing the extremely terrifying aura of the Xue Zhuque, all had drastic changes in their expressions.
"Disperse! Everyone disperse!"
Mu Hanye roared frantically, but the Xue Zhuque was incredibly fast. It arrived before him in an instant, and Mu Hanye had no choice but to mobilize the spiritual energy within his body with all his might.
Brilliant light screens instantly condensed into thick defenses before him, each with a defensive power sufficient to despair those below the Foundation Establishment realm.
However, these defenses were as fragile as tofu under the Xue Zhuque's claws. In a breath, they were all torn apart, and his body was sent flying by the Xue Zhuque.
Mu Hanye flew back hundreds of meters, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"It's really a Xue Zhuque. What terrifying power..."
His face turned pale. That surprise attack had truly taught him a lesson.
No, he couldn't possibly withstand the Xue Zhuque alone!
Seeing the Xue Zhuque's eyes locked onto him and about to attack again, he could only shout sternly at the Fulong Immortal Palace team in the distance.
"What are you waiting for! If I fall, you won't fare any better! Why aren't you coming to help and deal with this Xue Zhuque together!"
Hearing his shout, the Foundation Establishment realm cultivator from the Fulong Immortal Palace knew it was reasonable and decisively attacked the Xue Zhuque.
Seeing this, the Xue Zhuque flickered its body and its massive form soared into the sky, like a Kun Peng spreading its wings for ninety thousand miles, easily dodging his attack.
At the same time, the ice and snow power around the Xue Zhuque rapidly condensed into giant ice cones, transforming into a sky full of ice-blue flowing light that shot towards the two of them.
Mu Hanye and the other's faces changed slightly, and they both resisted with all their might, each beginning to use the power of the Great Dao to resist.
Boom, boom, boom!
As the giant ice cones containing the power of the Great Dao exploded in the low sky, the residual impact of each one alone was enough to easily freeze a mountain peak.
With such power, these ice cones fell like raindrops, which made the situation for others even more dire. Those with slightly weaker cultivation levels would almost certainly be frozen to death by the residual impact just by standing there.
In an instant, the area outside the gate of the Tomb of the Sages had become a purgatory of ice and snow, truly fulfilling the saying that when gods fight, mortals suffer. Everyone fled outwards as if they were crazy.
Ye Yun was also astonished.
"Holy cow... the power, it's really a bit overbearing..."
