"Elder Ye, is that really you? Am I dreaming?!"
Zhao Wangsheng stared at Ye Yun before him, his face full of disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost.
Ye Yun, after a slight surprise, smiled faintly and said.
"I didn't expect to see you again here."
Counting the time, it had been over two years since they last parted.
Zhao Wangsheng scrutinized him from head to toe and couldn't help but ask.
"I say, Elder Ye, it's been two years since we last met. It seems your cultivation has improved quite a bit."
Ye Yun chuckled faintly.
"It's alright, I was just lucky and my realm improved a little."
"Elder Ye, please don't be so humble. If that's 'a little' for you, then I haven't moved at all."
Although Zhao Wangsheng couldn't accurately sense the extent of Ye Yun's cultivation.
He was certain that it had far surpassed his own.
And the opponent he faced last time seemed to be only a quasi-True Immortal…
Then, Zhao Wangsheng quickly asked again.
"Right, more than two years ago, that space left by Xingwu with treasures, what happened there in the end?"
"I heard that you even heavily injured the Zhan Tian Dao Di guarding outside!"
He had left beforehand because he couldn't help.
And he had been concerned about the situation afterward, but he only knew that Ye Yun and Xingwu had powerfully defeated Zhan Tian Dao Di and even annihilated the many powerhouses of the Heavenly Dao Divine Hall.
After that, he hadn't heard anything about Ye Yun; the man seemed to have vanished into thin air.
Hearing this, Ye Yun sighed and said with some helplessness.
"It's too complicated to explain. I'll give you a detailed explanation when I have time later."
The matter of the Abyss race, the Endless Sea, and things related to gods, Ye Yun still felt it was better to keep them hidden for now.
Zhao Wangsheng didn't press further and nodded in agreement.
"Yes, yes, yes, look at my brain."
Zhao Wangsheng sighed, "Given the current situation of Chaofeng Mountain, you must have more important matters to attend to. I shouldn't disturb you."
At these words, Ye Yun's gaze sharpened.
"Wait, what did you just say? What happened to Chaofeng Mountain?!"
His reaction made Zhao Wangsheng a little at a loss for words.
He looked bewildered and said, "Uh, Elder Ye, you don't know? You haven't been at Chaofeng Mountain for the past two years?"
It was evident that his shock had left him somewhat disheveled, as if Ye Yun didn't know that the sun rose in the east.
Ye Yun shook his head and said, "For some reasons, I've been in a secluded place for the past two years and have only just returned."
"So, what's this about Chaofeng Mountain you're talking about?"
From his tone and words, it was likely nothing good!
As expected, Zhao Wangsheng immediately frowned.
"Damn, Elder Ye, if you don't know, you should hurry back!"
"Currently, Chaofeng Mountain is being besieged by the Heavenly Dao Divine Hall, Qianxun Mountain, and quite a number of affiliated forces."
"Although it's still in a stalemate, the situation is becoming increasingly dire, and no one knows when the fighting will truly erupt!"
"At this stage, even the Heavenly Dao Divine Hall has halted public use of the Heavenly Continent teleportation arrays across the various Heavenly Continents, diverting all efforts to send cultivators to Chaofeng Mountain."
Ye Yun's brows furrowed, and he quickly asked.
"The Heavenly Dao Divine Hall attacking Chaofeng Mountain? How could this be? What was their pretext?"
Although the Heavenly Dao Divine Hall had always been domineering, without a clear pretext, they wouldn't attack a behemoth like Chaofeng Mountain, let alone seemingly involve other forces from the Heavenly Realm in the war.
Regarding this, Zhao Wangsheng sighed, "I'm not entirely clear about the specifics, but it seems Chaofeng Mountain was discovered to have a special connection with that place."
"Furthermore, it was stated that Lady Xingwu's relationship with that place was such that she herself was from there, and her relationship with Feng Qingxian was not ordinary."
"After making these messages public, the Heavenly Dao Divine Hall took the lead, with the major forces of the Heavenly Realm, to launch a punitive expedition against Chaofeng Mountain."
That so-called "that place" was undoubtedly the Abyss.
And not the void abyss, but the matter of the Abyss race.
For a long time, the vast majority of high-level cultivators in the Heavenly Realm regarded the Abyss race as their mortal enemy, a relationship of unending hatred.
It was not difficult to imagine the impact on the Heavenly Realm if Chaofeng Mountain had a connection with the Abyss race, let alone a close relationship with Xingwu of the Abyss race.
As expected, this was the method used by the Heavenly Dao Hall Master to deal with Chaofeng Mountain and Xingwu.
It was likely that the other party thought that the Heavenly Dao Divine Hall alone could not deal with Xingwu, so they mobilized the power of almost the entire Heavenly Realm!
"That woman is truly mad!"
Ye Yun took a deep breath, full of doubt towards Xing Lian.
That woman claimed to protect the majority and the Heavenly Realm, but what was she doing now?
He sighed and then asked Zhao Wangsheng.
"Never mind, can you tell me where I am now?"
"Here?"
Zhao Wangsheng was stunned for a moment, then replied.
"Of course, this is the Sea of Primordial Chaos in the Primordial Heaven Continent. Elder Ye, you don't even know this? Where have you been?"
His questions made Zhao Wangsheng suspect that he had gone to some extremely secluded place.
However, Ye Yun didn't have the mind to dwell on these matters now and continued to ask.
"Do you know where Xingwu is, Chaofeng Mountain?"
Zhao Wangsheng nodded.
"That's right! Currently, she, along with the Heavenly Phoenix Empress and the entire Heavenly Phoenix clan, are surrounded at Chaofeng Mountain by the coalition army led by the Heavenly Dao Divine Hall."
Ye Yun continued to ask without hesitation.
"Do you know the configuration of the Heavenly Dao Divine Hall's coalition army? For example, the number of Emperor-level powerhouses?"
"I have heard of such a major event."
Zhao Wangsheng's voice turned somber, his tone deepening.
"Based on the current situation, the Heavenly Dao Divine Hall has the Heavenly Dao Hall Master and two Grand Elders, Emperor Tenglong Long Zhantian, and Sword Emperor Cangyue Yue Wuming – these three Emperor-level powerhouses."
"In addition, there are the allied Zhan Tian Dao Di Feng Chi, and Qiankun Great Emperor Qian Ruyuan of Qianxun Mountain!"
"A total of five Emperor-level powerhouses!"
After listing these names, Zhao Wangsheng himself couldn't help but gasp.
There were only ten Emperor-level cultivators in the entire Heavenly Realm, and now seven of them were involved at once.
In the many years of the Heavenly Realm's history, never before had so many Emperor-level powerhouses been implicated simultaneously.
"Five Emperor-level… actually."
Ye Yun raised an eyebrow and let out a cold snort.
"That woman is indeed quite capable."
After speaking, he cupped his fists towards Zhao Wangsheng.
"I've noted it down. Thank you, Elder Zhao, for the information. It's been a great help. I will surely repay you handsomely in the future!"
Then he turned around, evidently preparing to leave.
Seeing this, Zhao Wangsheng couldn't help but ask.
"Elder Ye, are you planning to return to Chaofeng Mountain just like that?"
"That's right. Since this matter started because of me, I should be the one to resolve it."
"But the Heavenly Continent teleportation arrays are all controlled by the Divine Hall's powerhouses now. How do you plan to get there?"
"Does that even need to be asked? It's a simple matter."
"Ah?"
In response, Ye Yun slightly turned his head and smiled faintly.
"Those who block me, I will kill them!"
