Ye Yun nodded and said, "Congratulations, you are correct. I'll give you a reward then."
As he spoke, a light sword materialized before him. The blade exuded an icy chill, its tip pointed directly at Mu Yangtuo.
"I was wrong! I know I was wrong! Please don't kill me! I'll give you anything, whatever you want, I'll give it to you!"
Under the pressure of Ye Yun's power, Mu Yangtuo was completely immobilized and panicked.
Ye Yun dared to kill the young master of Fulong Immortal Palace, let alone him, a second young master of Xuanming Immortal Palace.
After all, he didn't have the young master's life-saving privileges. If he was killed, he would surely die. He was terrified and desperately begged for mercy.
Ye Yun's attitude was clear, and he said coldly:
"I hate it most when people threaten me, so you can die."
With that, killing intent enveloped Mu Yangtuo. The moment he harbored thoughts about Ye Yun's disciple, Mu Yangtuo was already doomed.
Mu Yangtuo's expression froze. He immediately revealed his true nature, his features contorted as he roared at Ye Yun:
"Ye Yun! You will pay the price! Xuanming Immortal Palace will not let you go! You and everyone around you will die without a burial place!!!"
"Ye Yun, you must not..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Yun flicked his finger. The light sword before him turned into starlight, instantly severing his head.
The world fell silent in an instant. Ye Yun acted as if he had done a trivial thing, shifting his gaze to the Fractal Cloud-Piercing Shuttle in the hands of Lan Zhaoye's guard.
Judging by its performance earlier, the Fractal Cloud-Piercing Shuttle, a supreme treasure of Xuanming Immortal Palace, would likely be quite effective in Bai Xiaoxiao's hands.
Noticing his gaze, Lan Zhaoye was stunned for a moment, then grabbed the Fractal Cloud-Piercing Shuttle and, puffing out his belly, rushed to Ye Yun, holding it out with both hands.
"Elder Ye, please!"
Seeing the eager smile on Lan Zhaoye's face, Ye Yun raised an eyebrow and asked:
"This treasure is quite extraordinary. Don't you want it?"
In response, Lan Zhaoye grinned and said, "Brother Ye, what are you talking about!"
"With your mighty and domineering strength, your dashing appearance, and your unparalleled talent as a sword cultivator, I have long admired you and worship you to the utmost. You are the role model, the idol of my life. How could I possibly want your spoils of war?"
Good heavens, this was the first time Ye Yun had felt embarrassed by someone's flattery. This fatty was indeed something!
Even Lin Xueyan and Bai Xiaoxiao, who had arrived, exchanged bewildered glances, thinking how extraordinary this fellow was, even more flattering than the two of them!
Fortunately, he wasn't a woman, otherwise he would certainly be a formidable rival vying for their master's affection!
"You, boy, certainly know how to handle things."
Ye Yun smiled faintly. Although the other party's address was a bit too familiar, he actually had a good impression of Lan Zhaoye and didn't dwell on it. He thought that if Lan Zhaoyue could learn from this fellow, perhaps she would be more likable.
Lan Zhaoye chuckled, "Thank you for the praise, Brother Ye. Then please accept the Fractal Cloud-Piercing Shuttle quickly. With your strength paired with it, you'll be like a tiger with wings!"
Lin Xueyan and Bai Xiaoxiao were also very happy. The Fractal Cloud-Piercing Shuttle, as a supreme treasure of Xuanming Immortal Palace, indeed looked very powerful, and their master should be very strong using it!
To their surprise, Ye Yun, who picked up the Fractal Cloud-Piercing Shuttle, paused and said:
"This Fractal Cloud-Piercing Shuttle is not for this seat to use."
After saying that, he handed the Fractal Cloud-Piercing Shuttle to Bai Xiaoxiao with a smile amidst everyone's surprised gazes:
"Xiaoxiao, it belongs to you from now on. It will perfectly compensate for your limited attack forms."
Bai Xiaoxiao was slightly taken aback and said, "Uh... for me? Is it really okay?"
"After all, wouldn't it be more powerful in Master's hands?"
"It's fine, your master has similar magical treasures."
Ye Yun smiled faintly, "Just accept it with peace of mind."
He placed the Fractal Cloud-Piercing Shuttle into Bai Xiaoxiao's small hand, making Lan Zhaoye, standing by, stare with wide eyes.
This was the Fractal Cloud-Piercing Shuttle, a supreme treasure of an immortal palace, and Ye Yun was giving it to his disciple so casually?
Lan Zhaoye was filled with envy. Why didn't he have such a good master!
"Yes, disciple understands. Thank you, Master, for your bounty!"
Bai Xiaoxiao smiled sweetly and then calmly put away the Fractal Cloud-Piercing Shuttle.
This calm demeanor also left Lan Zhaoye deeply puzzled. Shouldn't a normal disciple jump for joy when bestowed such a treasure?
This girl was too composed, as if she had been given an ordinary item. It was truly strange!
At the same moment, a notification sounded in Ye Yun's mind.
[You have bestowed the Fractal Cloud-Piercing Shuttle upon your disciple, gaining a ten-thousand-fold return, and obtaining the Myriad Leaf Immortal Slaying Shuttle!]
[Myriad Leaf Immortal Slaying Shuttle: When separated, it transforms into myriad flying shuttles, ever-changing and annihilating all. When combined, it forms an immortal-slaying blade with ultimate penetrative power, capable of cleaving all things in the world!]
Ye Yun gasped. The name of the magical treasure alone was brimming with killing intent, and its description was astonishing. He wondered how powerful it truly was.
"A magical treasure that was already extraordinary, plus a ten-thousand-fold return, its power should not be ordinary."
This Fractal Cloud-Piercing Shuttle was indeed an unexpected surprise for him, giving him an offensive trump card in addition to his defensive ones.
As he was pondering, Lan Zhaoye playfully approached, winking and saying:
"By the way, Brother Ye, my sister mentioned that you are our ally in the exploration of the Sage's Tomb this time. You must cover for us then."
Due to some personal matters, he hadn't come with the main force of Linglong Immortal Palace, but he was naturally very interested in interesting events like the Sage's Tomb.
Ye Yun came back to his senses and nodded slightly.
"Naturally. Since I've agreed to cooperate with you, I will uphold this. I will naturally offer assistance when necessary."
Then, as if sensing something, he glanced in the direction of the Sage's Tomb and said:
"The spatial energy over there is becoming increasingly unstable. It seems the gate to the Sage's Tomb is about to appear. We should also hurry over."
"Alright, let's go then!"
Lan Zhaoye grinned, but before leaving, he suddenly stopped and pondered for a moment before saying:
"I just remembered something. Brother Ye, you might need to be careful later."
"Oh? What is it?"
"It's about that Mu Yangtuo."
Lan Zhaoye glanced at Mu Yangtuo's corpse and immediately explained:
"Most of the direct descendants of our immortal palaces have life imprints and tracking imprints. They are usually dormant, but once they are killed, the life imprint dissipates, and the tracking imprint records the aura of the attacker. Within a certain range, they can be sensed through special methods."
Ye Yun instantly understood his meaning and raised an eyebrow, saying, "You mean, if I encounter someone from Xuanming Immortal Palace later, I'm likely to be targeted?"
Lan Zhaoye nodded, "Precisely. Xuanming Immortal Palace will likely do everything they can to kill you, so be extremely careful!"
"It won't have much impact. If they want to kill this seat, let them come."
Ye Yun said calmly, "I've already offended Fulong Immortal Palace, so what's one more Xuanming Immortal Palace?"
Hearing this, Lan Zhaoye was stunned for a moment and said with immense admiration:
"Brother Ye, you can offend an immortal palace so nonchalantly. You are truly magnificent. I am simply filled with admiration!"
Ye Yun smiled helplessly at his flattery, waving his hand.
"Stop the nonsense and hurry over. Don't let your sister and the others wait too long."
With that, he looked towards the location of the Sage's Tomb, his heart actually brimming with determination.
Having now offended two immortal palaces, he might be fine for the time being, but after this matter was over, the two immortal palaces would surely seek retribution.
He had to seize this opportunity to significantly improve his strength. Then, even without the protection of Yuluo Immortal Palace and Linglong Immortal Palace, he would have enough self-preservation power!
