Compared to the fierce battle on Tianli Star Dance's side.
Ye Yun, though not yet fighting, found the atmosphere gradually chilling to the bone.
Centered on the location where the anomaly appeared, cultivators drawn by curiosity gradually surrounded the area.
Their lowest cultivation levels were quasi-Xuan Immortal, while the highest reached Celestial Immortal, and even True Saint realm.
Everyone clustered tens of meters away from the center, not daring to step any closer.
This was because at the center sat Ye Yun on a rock, with the Shenyuan Sword in his hand and a blood-red crossbow.
Amidst the crowd, a newly arrived True Saint realm cultivator couldn't help but exclaim.
"This place isn't yours, why can't we come closer?"
At this moment, Ye Yun, seated on the rock, casually caressed the sword body with a flamboyant air.
Hearing this, he raised his head and cast a cold glance at the man.
"I told you, my wife is busy. Don't come near unless necessary."
"Anyone who dares to cross within twenty zhang will be killed without mercy!"
As he spoke, his quasi-True Immortal aura, laced with sharp killing intent, sent a chill down the spine of the speaking True Saint realm cultivator.
In an instant, he deflated.
Many of the surrounding people, looking at the anomaly behind Ye Yun, displayed expressions of resentment.
What wife being busy, this guy was clearly trying to hoard the treasures here for himself!
But the problem was, Ye Yun's quasi-True Immortal cultivation was simply too terrifying for most of them who hadn't even reached True Saint.
Before long, a cold snort suddenly rang out from the crowd.
"What am I seeing? Someone who hasn't even reached quasi-True Immortal dares to claim treasures here alone?"
As these words were spoken, a black figure burst from the crowd.
As he spoke, he exuded a powerful aura, clearly a cultivator at the second level of True Immortal.
Amongst this group, he could be considered the strongest!
He conjured a weapon in his hand and gradually advanced towards Ye Yun, sneering as he spoke.
"If you're smart, you'll back off obediently, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
However, Ye Yun couldn't even be bothered to acknowledge him. He merely glanced at him, too lazy to utter a word.
From the aura of the opponent, he could essentially confirm he was at the tail end of the True Immortal realm, likely having broken through with the help of many elixirs and treasures, combined with sheer luck.
But in reality, he was not as formidable as the three True Immortal realm cultivators who had casually appeared upon their entry.
Yet, that True Immortal realm cultivator was quite audacious. Seeing himself being completely ignored, he seemed to have a mischievous intent.
He landed on the ground, stopping at the edge of the twenty-zhang boundary from Ye Yun.
"According to you, if I cross this distance, you'll jump out and kill me?"
This time, Ye Yun replied coldly.
"If you wish to die, you can try."
His voice was ice-cold and filled with killing intent, yet the True Immortal realm cultivator chuckled.
"Alas, I am so scared."
As he spoke, he extended a foot, dangling it over the other side.
"See, I've stepped over."
Then, he retracted his outstretched foot and grinned.
"Hey, I'm back now."
Afterward, he extended his foot again.
"I've stepped over again."
"And I've stepped back out."
The surrounding people watched, chuckling to themselves, thoroughly enjoying Ye Yun being toyed with.
You want to hoard this place for yourself, don't you? Serve you right, dare you to make a move!
Ye Yun watched him coldly, remaining silent. Only his left hand twitched slightly.
Seeing his continued silence, the True Immortal realm cultivator became even more emboldened.
With his defenses prepared, he repeatedly hopped back and forth across the twenty-zhang boundary.
"Hey, I'm coming over!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, and I'm out again."
"If you have the guts, hit me... Ah!"
Before he could finish, his last exclamation turned into a scream of agony.
The True Immortal realm cultivator froze in place, his hands still in a defensive posture, yet his defenses had been shattered.
And in his chest, a bloody void had appeared, visible from one side to the other.
The scream he had just uttered was as he watched a streak of crimson light effortlessly shatter his proud defenses and pierce through his body.
"You..."
The cultivator's face turned pale, and soon his entire body lost its color.
Then, he fell straight down, and the moment he hit the ground, he shattered into pieces like a dropped vase.
Across from him, Ye Yun, holding the Killing God Crossbow, looked at him coldly, his hand still in the motion of pulling the trigger.
Finally, he let out a cold snort.
"This is the first time I've seen such a pathetic request."
After speaking, he raised his gaze to look at the onlookers surrounding the area.
"Does anyone else want to give it a try?"
At this moment, the scene, with the instant kill of the True Immortal realm cultivator, fell into utter silence.
Everyone stood there dumbfounded, barely believing what they had just witnessed.
They swallowed hard, their lips trembling.
"He... killed him instantly?"
"This guy is actually this powerful?"
"Looks like this trip was for nothing..."
Although it appeared Ye Yun had relied on his magical artifact to kill, he had the artifact, what could they do?
As a result, some of the people at the front silently took a few steps back.
Seeing this, Ye Yun let out a soft snort.
If a tiger doesn't show its fangs, they really think it's a Hello Kitty.
Now, absolutely no one dared to cause trouble, and many even quietly retreated.
However, before Ye Yun could relax, another voice sounded.
"Whoa, who was that so powerful? Turns out it's Elder Ye."
The sudden voice startled Ye Yun.
Following the sound, he looked with surprise and found it was Zhao Wansheng from Hongchen Mountain.
He, accompanied by several True Saint realm cultivators, flew out from the crowd.
Under everyone's gaze, they approached the front, and Zhao Wansheng looked at Ye Yun and asked with a smile.
"Elder Ye, I just arrived and saw you acting cool here. Did something happen?"
Seeing it was him, Ye Yun slightly lowered his guard and slowly explained.
"Well, because my wife is handling an important matter inside, she asked me to guard here."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Wansheng was first stunned, then his eyes widened.
"What did you say? Wife?! So you have an immortal partner???"
"Uh, you could say that."
Ye Yun nodded, giving a affirmative answer.
This immediately ignited Zhao Wansheng's gossip-loving soul, and he eagerly asked.
"Good heavens, who is it that Elder Ye has taken a liking to?"
After all, even Xu Binglan, whom he considered a goddess, hadn't caught Ye Yun's eye.
Now, to be told he had an immortal partner, he was extremely curious as to who this divine being was.
Ye Yun frowned, looked around, then at him, and finally sighed.
"It's not convenient to reveal it yet. You'll know in the future."
Ultimately, he didn't fully trust Zhao Wansheng.
It was better to keep it a secret until Xingwu resolved her matters.
Zhao Wansheng, feeling a bit dejected, said.
"Alas, why so mysterious? Could it be that your wife is Xingwu?"
Ye Yun's mouth twitched slightly, and he gave a dry laugh.
"Heh heh, how could that be."
"Fine, fine, then I won't ask anymore."
Zhao Wansheng was unaware that he had actually spoken the correct answer.
But in his opinion, that answer was too absurd to be possible.
However, his demeanor was hearty. He immediately slapped his chest and said with a smile.
"But no matter what, since Elder Ye is in trouble, I will definitely help you to the end!"
After speaking, he turned to look at the crowd, his True Immortal realm pressure erupting, and he sternly declared.
"I'm laying down the law here: anyone who dares to approach this place is my enemy and an enemy of Hongchen Mountain. If you have the guts, feel free to try!"
