"Hmph?"
Clearly, the Lord of Qianyuan Star had yet to grasp the meaning of those two words.
However, Ye Yun soon demonstrated their meaning through his actions!
Facing the encircling multitude, Ye Yun waved his hand and unleashed an item.
"Will of the Sea of Skies, let this realm be overturned!"
Ye Yun presented a cerulean divine artifact, chanting the slightly chuunibyou incantation.
The eighth-rank divine artifact, the Will of the Sea of Skies, was one of his trump cards.
While it wasn't ideal to reveal a trump card so soon, if he killed all his enemies, it wouldn't truly be considered a revealed trump card, would it?
As his chant ceased, everyone caught a whiff of a briny scent.
"Is this... the smell of the sea?"
While everyone was still dazed, a blue radiance erupted from Ye Yun's body.
Divine power, as blue as the sea, surged outwards in all directions like waves!
And with the surge of this power came an unparalleled, terrifying pressure that descended upon them!
The blue radiance flowed through the void, like silken threads, coiling around each person.
"Damn it! What the hell is this?!"
Soon, someone exclaimed in shock, realizing that although the blue threads appeared as delicate and slender as jellyfish tentacles.
Once entangled, their divine power felt like sinking into a quagmire, making it incredibly difficult to circulate!
Coupled with the oppressive might of the blue tide itself, it rendered them utterly immobile.
The formation that had just been solidified instantly collapsed under this suppression!
"How is this possible?! What have you done?!"
The Lord of Qianyuan Star's face contorted with extreme displeasure as he roared at Ye Yun!
Let alone others, even he found it difficult to mobilize his divine power.
And despite his struggles against the surrounding tendrils, they proved futile.
It was as if they were stuck to a spider's web, awaiting the hunter to devour them!
In contrast, Ye Yun, within this blue tide, seemed to be in his element. His aura surged incessantly, escalating from the strength of a thirty-third-tier Heavenly God to a level comparable to a fortieth-tier Heavenly God!
At this moment, he was enveloped in flowing blue light, like a supreme deity looking down upon the ants before him.
"You all ganged up on me, so it's only fair that I cheat a little, isn't it?"
Ye Yun's lips curved into a smile as he gazed at them.
In his palm, the True Flame Divine Fire flickered, its beautiful sparks masking destructive power...
"Then, I shall trouble you all to return to your homes now."
He had nothing more to say to the factions of Qianyuan Domain and Feng Zhi Yu.
His only thought now was to eliminate these individuals.
Then he could happily return and enjoy a warm bed with his wife and disciples... well, just his wife.
Just as he was about to act, a voice urgently called out from the crowd.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Lord Ye! Spare me!"
The voice was loud, as if afraid Ye Yun wouldn't hear it.
Upon hearing this, Ye Yun and the people of Qianyuan Domain simultaneously turned towards the source of the sound.
To their surprise, it was a cultivator at the peak of Star God realm, clad in gray robes, from within the Qianyuan Domain's ranks.
Seeing Ye Yun looking their way, he quickly explained.
"My Lord, we're on the same side! I'm your informant!"
Ye Yun's eyes widened in realization.
"So, the mole that Lord Qian Xing mentioned was you?"
"That's right, that's right! It was me! I can prove it!"
As he spoke, a token appeared in his hand, emanating the aura of Qian Qing Ning.
Indeed, it was an item left behind by Qian Qing Ning.
Ye Yun nodded slightly and with a wave of his hand, wiped away the blue threads that had entangled the man.
Simultaneously, the terrifying pressure dissipated, and the man, having narrowly escaped, took a deep breath.
"Thank you for your efforts in providing this intel."
Ye Yun smiled faintly, commending him.
Without this insider information, even with him guarding the Heavenly Domain, the risk of it being surrounded by gods would have been far greater.
The gray-robed Star God smiled faintly. "It's nothing, it's what I should do!"
His emergence from the crowd, however, incensed the people of Feng Zhi Yu and even Qianyuan Domain.
Their eyes blazed with fury as they stared at the gray-robed Star God, wishing they could flay him alive!
The Lord of Qianyuan Star recognized him instantly and angrily bellowed.
"The traitor was you?! I treated you well, and you dare betray me?!"
The feeling was akin to raising a dog only to be bitten to death by it, a mix of humiliation and rage.
The gray-robed Star God shrugged. "I'm not one for aggression. My pleas to you were in vain several times. Over time, I became too disappointed. It's better to be a subordinate to the Lord of Ling Luo Star."
"Besides... she offered far too much!"
Clearly, the latter reason was the true priority. Despite being a Star God-level expert, he was, after all, an ordinary cultivator in this vast world. He too required cultivation resources and was not immune to worldly desires. Without sufficient conditions to be swayed, why would he easily betray his former master?
"You!"
The Lord of Qianyuan Star seethed with anger. If he could move, he would have undoubtedly lunged forward and struck him dead.
However, at this point, his anger was futile.
"Alright, it's time to embark on your journey, everyone."
Ye Yun, from a distance, smiled faintly at them, and a small flame leaped from his hand.
Although it left his hand as a tiny ball of fire, it instantly transformed into countless golden tongues of flame, engulfing them!
Only now did fear dawn in the eyes of the Lord of Qianyuan Star. He had always been the one to slaughter others; this was the first time he felt his life hanging in the balance.
He didn't want to die, and he deeply regretted his past actions towards the Heavenly Domain...
Of course, what he regretted was not the act of aggression itself, but rather kicking such a hard iron plate!
Finally, under his terrified gaze, one of the flames instantly consumed him. The scorching flames burned his flesh and even his divine spark, rapidly searing them.
Amidst piercing screams, the figures in the void were successively reduced to ashes by the True Flame Divine Fire!
As the flames swept past, unexpectedly, not everyone perished. Many remained unharmed, looking around in bewilderment, filled with relief.
Little did they know that special treatment awaited them from Ye Yun...
