Ye Yun's voice was gentle and amiable, as if he were truly welcoming guests.
Yet, his words sent a chill down everyone's spines.
Upon hearing him, the assembled crowd was taken aback. No one present was unaware of the name Ye Aotian of the Celestial Domain.
With his own might, he had annihilated the Heavenly God-level exploration teams sent by their two great world factions to explore the secret realm. His strength was likely formidable.
Qianyuan Star Lord was the first to recover, his gaze sharpening as he stared intently at Ye Yun and said coldly.
"You are Ye Aotian? The one who went to the Northern Light Domain not long ago?"
Perhaps it was because the young man before him appeared so harmless, a far cry from the image he had imagined.
Qianyuan Star Lord seemed hesitant to believe it, scrutinizing Ye Yun up and down.
Upon hearing this, the latter frankly nodded and said with a smile.
"That's right, it's me. I apologize for eliminating your people earlier, please don't take it to heart."
He spoke as if he had merely done something insignificant.
Qianyuan Star Lord's eyelids twitched. If his willpower weren't strong enough, he would likely have attacked already!
Even so, he couldn't suppress his anger and said sternly.
"How did you know we would be here?!"
Despite his inner rage, he hadn't forgotten to ask this crucial question.
The other party had precisely ambushed them here, waiting for them, clearly having known their route in advance.
In other words, their meticulously planned secrecy measures had inexplicably been leaked?
However, Ye Yun had no intention of revealing the truth. He merely smiled and said.
"Ah, that's a secret. Once you return home, I believe you'll naturally find out."
This so-called "return home" clearly did not mean returning to the Qianyuan Domain, but rather a return home on another level...
Qianyuan Star Lord understood the implication, but looking at Ye Yun's demeanor, he didn't take his strength seriously.
Although the other party had previously slain many Heavenly God-level powerhouses from the Qianyuan Domain, they were worlds apart from him. He certainly didn't believe the other party could deal with him!
Instead, his cold gaze then fell upon the people behind him.
"It seems there's a traitor among you."
He was quick-witted and quickly realized that such information couldn't have been leaked through normal channels; there must have been a mole...
Hearing this, everyone else was stunned and exchanged wary glances.
He then glanced at the Wind Domain Star Lord.
"Of course, it's also possible it was someone from your side."
However, the Wind Domain Star Lord let out a cold snort.
"Don't try to pin everything on us. Ever since this operation was decided, no one has left my sight. Everything has been conducted under complete lockdown."
"Did you take any serious precautions to prevent intelligence leaks on your end?"
"..."
Faced with the Wind Domain Star Lord's retort, Qianyuan Star Lord was rendered speechless.
To be honest, due to his overconfidence, he hadn't implemented overly stringent secrecy measures. Although he intended to conceal the information, a considerable number of people still had opportunities to contact the outside world.
In general, his efforts were indeed not as thorough as the Wind Domain's.
Ultimately, the silent Qianyuan Star Lord could only glare fiercely at his own subordinates.
"After this is over, I will certainly find that traitor. Just you wait!"
At this moment, Ye Yun, watching their internal strife, spoke leisurely.
"Excuse me, are you done talking? May I perhaps make a move now?"
Hearing this, Qianyuan Star Lord frowned and looked around very carefully, worried that the powerful individuals from the Lingluo Domain had already set up an inescapable net here with Ye Aotian.
But after a sweep of his divine sense, he was certain and confirmed that apart from the Heavenly God-level divine beast behind Ye Yun and the woman whose cultivation was completely imperceptible, there was no one else.
This perplexed him greatly, even making him suspect a trap.
Ye Yun saw through his thoughts at a glance and chuckled.
"No need to look. It's just us and your side here. There are no ambushes as you might imagine, after all, I'm not as despicable and shameless as you."
As for planting a traitor.
Tsk tsk... The traitor was recruited by Qian Qingning. What does it have to do with me?
Seemingly confirming there were no ambushes, Qianyuan Star Lord let out a cold哼.
"A mere junior, so arrogant!"
Ye Yun chuckled and said lightly.
"I prefer to call it confidence!"
"Is that so? Then let's see. I, this deity, shall personally shatter your confidence!"
Qianyuan Star Lord snorted and directly looked at the Wind Domain Star Lord.
"You saw it too, right? This brat is practically flaunting it in our faces. Aren't you going to join forces and take him down?!"
"Those divine artifacts from before, most of them are likely in his hands. Once we deal with him, then..."
He didn't finish, but the implication was clear.
Despite his taunts, Qianyuan Star Lord was being quite cautious in his approach.
Although this guy seemed easy to defeat, it was better to pull the Wind Domain on board as a precaution. Acting together afterward would be the best strategy!
The Wind Domain Star Lord was indeed drawn in by his words. After glancing at Ye Yun, he beckoned to his subordinates.
"Seal off the surroundings, don't let him escape later!"
Immediately, the powerful individuals from the Wind Domain spread out in a specific formation.
And the people from the Qianyuan Domain, at Qianyuan Star Lord's command, also took their positions, jointly forming a 360-degree blockade with the Wind Domain forces!
A combined force of dozens of Heavenly God-level powerhouses, hundreds of Star God-level or above experts, plus two Star Lords above the 30th tier of Heavenly God.
This formation, even the Lingluo Domain Star Lord, Qian Qingning, would have found it difficult to escape!
Ye Yun calmly observed the scene without a hint of fear, which made Qianyuan Star Lord frown.
"Ye Aotian, do you think you can withstand the divine legions of our two great worlds with your own strength alone?!"
For some reason, he had a lingering bad feeling, but couldn't pinpoint why.
In response, Ye Yun's lips curved slightly, and he answered decisively.
"Whether I can deal with you or not, won't we know by trying?"
After speaking, a sword projection materialized in his palm.
Ye Yun, alone with his sword, stood in the void, confronting nearly a thousand Star God-level or above experts, emanating an unmatched domineering aura!
Not far behind him, Song Ziyue cast a curious glance, her beautiful eyes fixed on Ye Yun, as if waiting for him to make his move...
