Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 1049: Protector Daoist?

Faced with the humiliating accusations from Vast Sea Heavenly Lord, Ye Yun felt a pang of awkwardness within his heart.

He harbored no romantic notions towards his junior sister, yet to outsiders, it appeared as though he was pursuing a romance?

Even an impartial observer like Vast Sea Heavenly Lord perceived it this way.

This was truly vexing!

Ye Yun’s brow creased coldly. "Vast Sea Heavenly Lord, what preposterous talk is this? She is my junior sister; how could I possibly harbor such thoughts about her?"

"..."

Vast Sea Heavenly Lord considered his words and fell into silence, akin to a cicada during the dead of winter.

The opponent’s cultivation base and overall strength far surpassed his own, making it difficult to provoke him recklessly.

To do so would be to invite disaster—

Should a Sword Cultivator become enraged, a single sword strike could unleash a torrent of blood.

"Vast Sea Heavenly Lord, what brings you to the Ten Thousand Monster God Temple?" Ye Yun inquired.

"I share a familial bond with the Second Palace Master and merely came for a visit..." Vast Sea Heavenly Lord took a deep breath, his voice low.

"A kinship, is that so... All of you belong to the God Alligator Clan!" Ye Yun’s gaze deepened as he nodded in thoughtful comprehension.

"I am the Green Water Alligator Deity, and my elder brother, Jin Liu, who also serves as the Second Palace Master of the Ten Thousand Monster God Temple, is the Dominant Blood Divine Alligator!" Vast Sea Heavenly Lord explained.

As he spoke, he subtly observed Ye Yun’s reaction from the corner of his eye.

Vast Sea Heavenly Lord noticed that upon mentioning the Dominant Blood Divine Alligator, this Long Yunzi's expression remained composed, seemingly unfazed.

A sense of disappointment settled in his heart.

It appeared this Long Yunzi was unaware of the Dominant Blood Divine Alligator's true standing. The mere mention of this name had failed to intimidate Long Yunzi.

"Vast Sea Heavenly Lord, have you come with that Jin fellow to seek retribution against me?" Ye Yun’s heart stirred, and he posed the question with a laugh.

"I harbor no intentions of revenge; primarily, my attention is drawn to your artifact!" Vast Sea Heavenly Lord’s gaze flickered, settling on Ye Yun’s shoulder where a small mirror rested.

He had long taken notice of this peculiar, small mirror.

According to the youth surnamed Jin’s account, it was this very mirror that had repelled all three of them.

"You covet my mirror?" Ye Yun picked up the Imitation Mirror, a gentle smile gracing his lips.

"Indeed, but now that Long Yunzi has revealed his true identity, this plan must be abandoned..." Vast Sea Heavenly Lord spread his hands, expressing a sense of helplessness.

Moments ago, he had confidently assured Jin Liu, only to backtrack so swiftly.

"Abandon? Do you possess the authority to do so?" Ye Yun raised an eyebrow, a chilling killing intent beginning to swirl around him.

Swish!

He flicked his finger, sending forth a surge of Sword Qi.

Splurt!

From Vast Sea Heavenly Lord’s shoulder, a spray of scarlet blood erupted.

Ye Yun had only administered a minor punishment, choosing not to take his life.

"So formidable!" Vast Sea Heavenly Lord was astonished, suddenly comprehending the terrifying power wielded by the Long Yunzi before him.

Facing that minuscule wisp of Sword Qi—

He found himself completely unable to muster any defense.

If Long Yunzi had intended to end his life, it would have been an effortless task.

"Vast Sea Heavenly Lord, do not involve yourself in the affairs of the Second Palace Master; return to where you came from. Furthermore, you must swear an oath to never divulge any information regarding me. If you can agree to these terms, I shall spare your life!" Ye Yun stated coolly.

Though his words were casual, they carried an air of supreme authority and a palpable murderous intent.

"This..." Vast Sea Heavenly Lord showed hesitation.

"If you refuse, then you shall meet your demise here and now!" Ye Yun’s voice turned frigid.

"Esteemed Long Yunzi, please refrain from any action, I agree to your terms!" Vast Sea Heavenly Lord exclaimed hastily.

After all, life was precious, and in that critical moment, he opted for submission and compromise.

Subsequently, Vast Sea Heavenly Lord raised his hand, uttering an oath to the heavens.

"You may depart!" Ye Yun nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this, gesturing grandly with his hand.

"Yes!"

Vast Sea Heavenly Lord, his demeanor crestfallen, retreated into the depths of the forest.

Standing amidst the void.

He cast an apologetic glance towards the youth surnamed Jin nearby before vanishing into the emptiness.

"Heavens, what... what just happened? Uncle Vast Sea departed without a word?" The youth surnamed Jin looked utterly bewildered, unaware of the events that had transpired.

Deep within his thoughts, he sensed that something was amiss, prompting him to hastily return toward the Second Hall.

Ye Yun’s true form remained concealed within the void, diligently cultivating as he awaited.

The Second Palace Master would likely be arriving in person soon.

...

Upon the summit of the Second Hall, a beam of light descended rapidly.

Entering the magnificent hall.

The Second Palace Master, his face a mask of bewilderment, gazed at his son who had returned with haste.

"Why have you returned so quickly? Where is your Uncle Vast Sea?" he inquired with urgent concern.

"Father, Uncle Vast Sea encountered a youth in white, who was in the Divine Sovereign Realm, halfway there. They exchanged a few words within the forest, and it seemed as though he was threatened, as he departed without uttering another word!" the youth surnamed Jin lamented.

"Threatened?" The Second Palace Master's expression turned dark and grave as he began pacing the hall, murmuring to himself, "Well... this boy surnamed Ye does indeed have a protector behind him; it appears he is not just a simple character!"

"Father, should we simply swallow this insult?" the youth surnamed Jin gritted his teeth.

"Certainly not!" the Second Palace Master retorted, his expression grim, his fist clenching tightly.

He then dispatched a Divine Thought. This thought fragmented, flying towards various chambers within the Second Temple Mountain Range.

Within mere breaths, over a dozen formidable individuals in the God Venerate Realm arrived.

These were the Elders responsible for overseeing the Second Hall.

"Palace Master, what urgent matter has necessitated your summoning us so hastily?" inquired one of the elders.

"Humph! The Ninth Hall has overstepped their bounds in bullying us; accompany me, and we shall settle this matter!" With a wave of his hand, the Second Palace Master swiftly exited the hall, ascending into the sky and heading directly towards the Ninth Hall.

The other Elders in Charge followed closely, not a shred of hesitation in their movements.

One hundred miles removed from the Ninth Hall, the dozen powerful God Venerate Realm individuals abruptly halted.

The void ahead was obstructed by a solitary figure clad in white, hands clasped behind his back.

Gazing upon this person, the Second Palace Master's expression darkened. "Are you the protector of that individual surnamed Ye?" he questioned.

Protector? Ye Yun, slightly surprised, found this explanation quite convenient.

"Indeed, I am his protector," Ye Yun affirmed.

Buzz... Following his declaration, Ye Yun's body trembled subtly, releasing the aura of his cultivation base.

"Eighth Layer of the Divine Venerable Realm?" The numerous formidable cultivators from the Second Demon Hall perceived this aura, and their faces underwent a dramatic shift.

Across the entirety of the Ten Thousand Monster God Temple, the most powerful individual, the First Palace Master, only resided at the Seventh Level of the God Venerate Realm. Meanwhile, the Second Palace Master himself had only reached the Fifth Layer.

Yet, this protector had already attained the Eighth Layer of the Divine Venerable Realm. Even if they were to combine their forces, they would be no match for such a level of cultivation.

"Afraid? If so, then depart; do not come here without reason!" Observing the increasingly fearful expressions of the Demon Clan cultivators, Ye Yun suppressed a laugh and flicked his sleeve.

To be completely honest, the Ten Thousand Monster God Temple's strength paled in comparison to the Supreme Forgetful Love Palace. However, within this ancient local territory, the Ten Thousand Monster God Temple was indeed considered a paramount power.

"Apologies!" Taking a deep breath, the Second Palace Master clasped his hands. His face, tinged blue with fury, offered a curt apology.

Ye Yun, with a gesture of impatience, waved his hand, signaling them to depart swiftly.

"Let us go!" The Second Palace Master gave a grand wave of his hand, leading the assembled Elders in Charge in a rapid withdrawal.

Pity these Elders in Charge; they arrived in confusion and departed equally bewildered, never truly understanding the reason for their hasty summons. ...
