The Supreme Ancestor and another cultivator are reprimanded and slapped by Supreme Seven Kills for failing to recognize Ye Yun. Ye Yun intervenes, sparing them and assuring Supreme Seven Kills that the Taixu Ancient Dragon's avatar has successfully controlled its main body. The Taixu Ancient Dragon, now in human form, is instructed to cultivate in a bead. Ye Yun then gives the seven Supremes seven small swords crafted from his Sword Qi to protect them, before departing to investigate the Holy Kirin Continent for the Nine-tailed Divine Dragon.
"This trip was quite fruitful..." Ye Yun traversed the void, a smile gracing his lips. He had encountered his former beloved, Nangong Jade, in Blood Abyss Lake. Though this young lady, pursuing the Supreme Forgetting Emotions Path, had become detached from past memories. Yet, the reunion with someone from ten millennia ago still evoked a unique sentiment within him. Ye Yun’s eyes glinted as he murmured to himself, "My departure this time was rather hasty, leaving the Ten Thousand Monster God Temple without assigning a clone to the cave... Days have passed; I hope nothing untoward has happened to little sister and master." From the Ten Thousand Monster God Temple, Ye Yun had journeyed to Blood Abyss Lake, the Sect of Seven Kills, and the Valley of Sky Burial sequentially. He spent several days completing these visits. Even with his ability to tear through the void, traversing the expansive Divine Land still demanded a considerable amount of time. These fleeting days, for a cultivator engrossed in their cultivation, would pass by in what felt like the blink of an eye. Consequently, Ye Yun harbored no significant worries. The Ten Thousand Monster God Temple was a formidable regional power; it was unlikely for anyone to dare cause trouble. Several days later. Ye Yun materialized from the void directly above the Ten Thousand Monster God Temple. "What is this..." His gaze fell upon the scene below, and his expression shifted dramatically. Now, over the Nine Great Mountains of the Ten Thousand Monster God Temple, utter devastation was apparent: dismembered limbs, shattered ruins, streams of blood, and numerous areas still engulfed in smoldering black flames. From a single glance, it was obvious that a cataclysmic battle had recently transpired. "Master and little sister are missing..." A swift scan confirmed the grim reality, leaving Ye Yun’s face as dark as a stormy sky. If it were the leaders of other monster halls who were unaccounted for, their disappearance might not have elicited such concern. However, with both his master and sister involved, this struck Ye Yun’s deepest vulnerability. Like a dragon’s inverted scale, to touch it was to invite doom! Ye Yun descended from the sky, landing on the mountain belonging to the Ninth Hall. On this particular mountain, several injured disciples from the Ninth Hall were concealed amidst the damaged structures. It was clear that the opposing force had not annihilated everyone during the conflict. Were they to have done so, the entire Ten Thousand Monster God Temple would likely show no signs of life whatsoever. In truth, injured disciples were scattered not only across the Ninth Hall but also across the mountains of the other eight halls. It was just that these injured disciples possessed weaker cultivation bases, predominantly at the True God stage, with very few exceeding the Divine Monarch Realm. "What transpired?" Ye Yun approached a disciple of the Ninth Hall, whom he recognized, at the Fifth Layer of the True God Realm, and inquired with a frown. The young man appeared dazed, possibly not fully comprehending Ye Yun’s question, and responded blankly, "Junior Brother Ye, where did you go?" "Who invaded the Ten Thousand Monster God Temple? And where are Master and Gu Anran?" Ye Yun’s brow furrowed as he gently extended a hand. A surge of his power entered the young man’s mind, instantly bringing him a measure of calm. "Junior Brother Ye, our Ten Thousand Monster God Temple is finished! Forces from the Nine Battle Sect and the Devouring Heavenly Demon Sect attacked this time. They slaughtered nearly all the Divine Sovereign Realm disciples of our temple, plundered the Treasure Pavilion, and searched for you. When they couldn't find you, they kidnapped Master!" The young man's eyes welled with tears as he spoke with profound sorrow, "As for Gu Anran, her cultivation was the weakest. Master had already arranged for her to escape beforehand..." "So that is what happened!" Ye Yun’s brow slightly creased as he nodded faintly. His little sister possessed an exceptionally potent escape technique, making it difficult even for cultivators in the Divine Monarch Realm to apprehend her. With his master’s deliberate planning, her successful evasion was entirely understandable. That his master, however, had been taken captive by the enemy now filled Ye Yun with considerable anger. He had heard of these two sects before; each was individually stronger than the Ten Thousand Monster God Temple. Thus, with their combined might, the Ten Thousand Monster God Temple stood no chance. Ye Yun could surmise. The reason these two factions launched an invasion against the Ten Thousand Monster God Temple was likely connected to the expedition to Yin Yang Cave. At that time, numerous factions had entered Yin Yang Cave. Ye Yun had utilized the Yin-Yang Reverse Jue to forge a path, and the two black and white spheres of light he created had drawn significant attention. It was highly probable that many individuals had set their sights on him during that period. However, subsequently, the Yin Yang Refining Virtual Dragon had driven those pursuers away. Ye Yun had not anticipated that some individuals, retaining their covetous intentions, would still plot against him. In the vast expanse of the Divine Land, inter-sect warfare was a frequent occurrence. After all, immense benefits were often at stake. The subjugation of the Ten Thousand Monster God Temple would present unimaginable advantages to both the Nine Battle Sect and the Devouring Heavenly Demon Sect. Upon gaining this understanding, Ye Yun’s mood surprisingly grew serene. His little sister had managed to escape. His master was only temporarily detained, with no permanent harm incurred – a fact that brought Ye Yun a measure of relief. "Which of the two factions is holding Master captive?" Ye Yun inquired softly. "It is the Devouring Heavenly Demon Sect!" The young man's voice dripped with hatred. "Fine, I shall go and rescue Master." Ye Yun stated, turning to depart. The youth, however, reached out, his hand catching Ye Yun's arm. "Junior Brother Ye, you're merely at True God Realm Third Level. To go now would be sheer suicide; you must flee for your life!" the youth pleaded with desperation. Flee? Upon hearing the youth's words, Ye Yun let out a laugh. My goodness. He, an invincible powerhouse, actually needed to flee? "Do not worry. They are seeking me specifically. As long as I present myself, Master will be saved, and they absolutely won't kill me. Rest assured about that..." Ye Yun said, extending his hand to pat the young man's shoulder. His smile was gentle, radiating an infectious warmth. The youth found himself momentarily stunned, his grip subconsciously loosening. Ye Yun ascended into the sky, quickly vanishing from the youth's sight. In a secluded location, Ye Yun tore through the fabric of space and departed. The Devouring Heavenly Demon Sect resided within the Taigu Region, a considerable distance from the Ten Thousand Monster God Temple's domain. Yet, such a distance meant nothing to Ye Yun. An hour later. Somewhere within the Taigu Region, a figure clad in white emerged from the void. "So this is the Devouring Heavenly Demon Sect..." Ye Yun murmured, gazing at the dark structures perched atop the towering mountains below with a faint smile. A potent divine sense washed down like an incoming tide, rapidly surveying the Devouring Heavenly Demon Sect. "Master isn't actually here?" Ye Yun's brows furrowed, a hint of confusion clouding his features. Could it be that Master is with the Nine Battle Sect? Recalling the tone and expression of the Ninth Hall disciple, Ye Yun felt he hadn't been deceived. In a blink, Ye Yun appeared like a phantom within a grand hall inside the Devouring Heavenly Demon Sect. Seated within this hall was an elder clad in black robes. A subtle black aura enveloped him, giving the impression from afar that he was wreathed in flames. This was a cultivator at the Divine Sovereign Realm Tenth Layer. If Ye Yun's guess was correct, this black-robed elder was none other than the Sect Master of the Devouring Heavenly Demon Sect. "Where is Master?" Ye Yun inquired softly, standing within the hall with his hands clasped behind his back, his gaze fixed upon the black-robed elder. "Who?" The elder in black was startled, abruptly rising to his feet and warily observing the youth in white before him. The white-clad youth had materialized within the hall like a ghost, yet this expert at the Divine Sovereign Realm Tenth Layer had been completely oblivious. This was truly astonishing. "You... you are the disciple of Cang Ming, the head of the Ninth Hall in the Ten Thousand Monster God Temple!" Upon recognizing Ye Yun's appearance, the black-robed elder was overcome with shock. Their Devouring Heavenly Demon Sect and the Nine Battle Sect had expended immense effort and endured great hardships to bring down the Ten Thousand Monster God Temple. Their ultimate objective... was precisely this youth in white they now faced.
