These meaningful words were undoubtedly conveying a message to Ye Yun.
At this moment, Ye Yun stood among the crowd, practically brushing past her.
They both recognized each other but did not immediately reveal their connection.
Currently, only Xing Wu was being pursued, and if they were to show their relationship, both would inevitably face a combined assault.
With formidable enemies surrounding them, even if they could barely achieve victory, it would be highly detrimental to their subsequent competition for the treasures within the seal.
After delivering her message, Xing Wu turned her head and plunged directly into the seal.
Following this, the space at the seal churned, tearing open a passage large enough for several people to pass through.
"Quick, look, the outer seal has been broken!"
Someone in the crowd shouted, and the others were jolted awake from their earlier shock.
"Good heavens, it's really opened! Hurry and go in!"
"Let's all go in and search for treasures!"
"People from Jian Shan, follow me in!"
In an instant, the leaders of various teams, shouting in excitement, rushed in.
Following closely behind were numerous rogue cultivators, intending to explore the secret realm.
Although Xing Wu herself had arrived, meaning the greatest treasure might be out of reach, even obtaining some other items would be a significant gain for them.
Faced with immense profit, few could think calmly, and they all surged in with the crowd.
Ye Yun's figure, also mixed among them, stepped directly into the passage.
However, this left the cultivators from Hei Yuan City, who had been dispatched to deal with Ye Yun, in a state of utter frustration.
"Damn it, this guy actually went in. What do we do now?"
"Exactly. The City Lord previously said not to participate in the treasure hunt, but now..."
"We should have taken the risk and acted earlier. What do we do now?"
On one hand, they had to deal with Ye Yun no matter what; on the other, they were strictly forbidden from participating in the treasure hunt. The directives had now directly contradicted each other.
With no other option, one of them sighed and said,
"Fine, I'll use a communication talisman to ask the City Lord for his decision."
He then found a secluded spot and used a talisman to transmit his message to the City Lord.
Before long, a reply was received, and it was quite straightforward.
"Resolve him silently within the secret realm, then immediately retrieve the spatial ring and withdraw!"
After receiving the decree, he breathed a sigh of relief and said sternly to the others.
"Then let's enter first and find an opportunity to take him down!"
According to the City Lord's instructions, the target had to be eliminated without anyone witnessing it.
It was precisely for this reason that, although they quickly located Ye Yun, they couldn't act due to the overwhelming presence of people.
Now that Ye Yun had entered the secret realm, it would be incredibly simple to find a secluded spot there.
"Don't delay, let's go!"
As the words fell, the three True Immortal realm cultivators from Hei Yuan City rushed into the secret realm.
Meanwhile, the people from the Heavenly Dao Divine Hall remained gathered outside the passage.
One person, who appeared to be a commander, looked at the weaker members of the team and said.
"I will lead the charge inside. You will be responsible for relaying messages from the outside."
"Inform all Divine Hall affiliates in Xu Shu Abyss, as well as Lord Zhan Tian Dao Di, that Xing Wu has indeed appeared here."
"Then we will coordinate an inside-and-outside pincer attack, like a turtle trapped in a jar!"
Upon hearing this, one of them frowned.
"But Lord Zhan Tian seems to be confronting Empress Yao Ye. I don't know if he can come."
"That depends on him. Your only task is to notify him."
The individuals nodded in agreement, and then the Quasi-Emperor realm expert leading them entered the passage with the others.
Xing Wu was currently at her weakest, and they had to strike while she was vulnerable.
Since the Palace Lord could not personally come to act, their only recourse to eliminate this great enemy was to join forces.
As the news spread, many powerful Divine Hall members who had gathered in Xu Shu Abyss not long ago began to converge towards this location.
...
In an unknown space, a spatial rift tore open.
Cultivators continuously emerged from it, then, either in groups or alone, they headed in different directions.
Ye Yun, after entering, first surveyed the surrounding scenery and couldn't help but sigh.
"What a vast subspace..."
Before him lay a barren world that stretched as far as the eye could see.
The sky above was as devoid of sunlight as in Xu Shu Abyss, and the ground was shrouded in black mist, exuding an aura of deathly stillness.
From the dilapidated ruins scattered throughout the space, it was evident that this place had once been a prosperous royal capital.
Looking around, there was nothing particularly special, and no area seemed to be a likely spot for treasures. It appeared that, apart from Xing Wu, others could only search for treasures by chance.
"Forget it, I'll look around first, and then I'll find that guy..."
With this thought, Ye Yun directly took to the sword and flew out, choosing a direction with fewer people.
Along the way, he did indeed see many spirit grasses and spirit flowers. Although they had uniquely developed some sentience, they were not particularly precious items.
However, while he didn't find any treasures, Ye Yun discovered something else.
As Ye Yun flew on his sword, his eyebrows rose, and he let out a cold snort.
"Three True Immortal realm rats have followed me. What bad luck..."
Thanks to the continuous improvement of his physique and bloodline, his senses were extremely acute. Although the three cultivators behind him were being very cautious, they could not escape his notice.
With the myriad of magical treasures he now possessed, he could easily win even a one-on-three battle across realms, so he wasn't worried about danger.
But before he could make a move, the three following him, seeing that no one was around, accelerated and surrounded him.
Ye Yun was forced to stop and looked at the three black-robed cultivators surrounding him, raising his eyebrows and asking.
"What? Do you three have any business with me?"
"Hehehe, it's nothing much. We just want to borrow your head."
One of them said coldly, then gave a look to the other two.
"Attack with all your might, and make it quick!"
These three were, of course, the three True Immortal realm cultivators sent from Hei Yuan City, all of whom were above the third level of True Immortal realm.
No matter how powerful this fellow was, he couldn't possibly deal with all three of them at once.
Holding the dual advantage of numbers and cultivation, how could there possibly be any accidents?
In an instant, the three formed a triangular formation around Ye Yun, each unleashing their domain.
"Black Wind Domain!"
"Blood Fiend Domain!"
"Green Wood Domain!"
Three domains suddenly materialized, and immense pressure descended upon Ye Yun.
Following this, they directly gathered their full power and launched their ultimate mystical techniques against Ye Yun.
The three were indeed ruthless and concise, launching killing moves against Ye Yun from the outset, determined to slay him in one blow!
"Heh... good, you've come."
Surrounded, Ye Yun was not the least bit flustered.
He was about to unleash his Heavenly Phoenix Domain, letting them understand they had picked the wrong person to mess with.
But before he could act, an incredibly familiar voice descended from the sky.
"Watch this, Sword of the God of Slaughter!"
With a bang, a golden figure descended from the air.
Almost instantaneously, a fierce sword light blasted the three who were attacking with full force, sending them flying.
Following this, a slender golden silhouette landed, holding a golden longsword, and wagged her finger at the three.
"Too weak, truly too weak!"
