"Really?"
"Really!"
Ye Yun silently held up four fingers, saying innocently.
"I swear on it!"
"Hmph!"
Xing Wu pouted, seemingly half-believing him.
Meanwhile, Gongsun Chang, not far away, felt a pang of sweat, finding the interaction between this couple quite unbelievable.
Was this henpecked husband truly the great Overlord who had swept across all directions?
At this moment, Ye Yun looked towards him and said,
"I know about the situation, but I need some time to consider it."
He didn't agree on the spot. Part of it was a small punishment for Gongsun Chang concealing this matter from him.
On the other hand, he genuinely needed to think it over carefully.
Gongsun Chang nodded repeatedly and immediately replied,
"No problem! Please take your time to consider it!"
With things having reached this point, all he could do was pray that Ye Yun would agree.
Afterward, he temporarily withdrew, awaiting Ye Yun's decision.
Inside the hall, Ye Yun and Xing Wu discussed the matter.
"It's truly strange. I don't think I know many people in this Great Thousand World?"
Ye Yun was troubled. He remembered everyone he met, even if he'd only seen them once.
Could it be Chen Yan'er, who had gone missing? But that shouldn't be the case. If it were her, she would probably have told him directly and not tried to conceal it.
As for other women, he truly couldn't think of anyone at the moment.
Xing Wu looked at him and asked, "So? Are you going this time?"
"I'm definitely going."
Ye Yun answered without a second thought, then said with a serious expression,
"Although I don't know who the other party is, the hijacking of the merchant guild's supplies was clearly aimed at me."
"If I don't go this time, who knows what else they might do later."
This time, they had merely used Gongsun Chang to 'invite' him over. Next time, they might target people close to him!
"In that case, I'll go with you."
Xing Wu said with a smile.
Ye Yun was taken aback and couldn't help but say, "You don't need to go. It might be dangerous."
"The more so, the more I should go with you!"
Xing Wu looked at him and said, "Are you saying you want me to worry about you alone here?"
"Uh, this..."
Ye Yun was still hesitant, as they couldn't determine if the Demon God Domain they were about to visit was friend or foe.
Seeing his hesitation, Xing Wu smiled faintly.
"There's nothing to be conflicted about. Are you worried that if I go with you, you won't be able to 'entwine' with that Highness?"
"I didn't, I'm not!"
Ye Yun repeatedly shook his head. But with the situation as it was, he could only say resignedly,
"Alright, then we can go together."
"That's more like it."
Xing Wu smiled with satisfaction.
Ye Yun pondered the matter. Since they had only asked Gongsun Chang to 'invite' him, they were likely not enemies!
After a period of conversation, they informed Gongsun Chang that they agreed to help him retrieve the merchant guild's supplies.
This made Gongsun Chang immensely grateful. After all, the supplies he was personally escorting were extremely important to their merchant guild, and not recovering them would be a great trouble!
Finally, after Ye Yun settled matters in the Tianlan Domain, he, along with Xing Wu and Gongsun Chang, headed directly towards the Demon God Domain!
The Tianlan Domain was guarded by the Demon Lord and a group of other powerful individuals. Coupled with the formidable reputation of the Myriad Worlds Alliance, there wasn't too much to worry about.
As for his disciples, with their ever-increasing strength, Ye Yun intended to let them gain experience in their respective positions, so he left them all in the Tianlan Domain for the time being.
...
Through continuous spatial jumps, Ye Yun arrived at the location where Gongsun Chang's goods were looted without taking too long.
"The Demon God Domain is not far ahead."
Gongsun Chang pointed in a direction, and Ye Yun's senses followed, indeed detecting a powerful energy fluctuation in that area.
"Yes, let's go."
Ye Yun nodded and led the way, charging straight ahead.
Before long, a sapphire-blue planet came into view, surrounded by crimson, thread-like markings.
These blood-red marks seemed to be some kind of insignia, encircling the entire sapphire planet.
Just a glance at it caused Ye Yun to narrow his eyes.
Not to mention that he sensed many powerful presences from this Great World.
Beyond that, he also felt an indescribable aura from the planet itself, or rather, a feeling?
"Quite interesting..."
Ye Yun mused thoughtfully. At that moment, a sharp roar, laced with divine power, echoed from afar.
"Who dares to trespass into my Demon God Domain!"
Immediately, a crimson figure appeared before the three of them from the distant void with near-instantaneous speed.
It was a man in a red robe, with a rugged and imposing appearance, exuding an extraordinary aura.
Additionally, a rather peculiar feature was that the man in the red robe had a tail similar to a dragon's behind him, with what appeared to be crystal-like scales faintly visible.
This appearance inexplicably reminded Ye Yun of the demon races he had encountered on the Xuantian Continent; they had a similar look...
"Hello, we are..."
Ye Yun smiled faintly, about to introduce himself.
Suddenly, the red-robed man glimpsed Gongsun Chang and then the corner of his mouth curled up, his aura surging outward.
Instantly, fierce flames engulfed his body, and a searing heat, like that of a star, gathered in his fist.
"No matter who you are, take this punch first!"
As the words fell, the red-robed man threw a powerful punch. In an instant, the void distorted from the intense heat.
A power capable of destroying the heavens and earth converged into a small fist, rushing directly towards Ye Yun.
Gongsun Chang's face changed drastically, and he quickly shouted,
"Be careful!"
Based on his knowledge, the power of the red-robed man's punch was clearly at the level of an Extreme Realm Lord God.
A surprise attack from a powerhouse of this caliber was extremely dangerous!
Ye Yun merely raised an eyebrow. His reaction was equally swift, and he met the attack with a punch of his own.
"Playing with fire? I'm game!"
The Innate True Flame Divine Fire gathered in his palm, transforming into a sun in the void, and met the red-robed man head-on!
The two fiery lights collided in an instant, like two suns crashing into each other. The unleashed aftermath almost annihilated Gongsun Chang, but fortunately, Xing Wu beside him protected him.
Unexpectedly, such terrifying power did not significantly affect the Demon God Domain not far away.
As the boundless sea of fire dispersed, the figures of the red-robed man and Ye Yun emerged.
Ye Yun narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you want to continue fighting? I'll see it through to the end!"
Although the guy in front of him possessed considerable strength, he was still a notch below himself.
"Not bad, not bad. You do have some skill, indeed worthy of the Highness's favor!"
The red-robed man looked at Ye Yun opposite him and suddenly smiled, his astonishing aura receding.
He waved his hand and said with a smile,
"You are the old friend the Highness spoke of, welcome to the Demon God Domain."
