Chapter 922: The Former Di Family

Good heavens!

This little guy really sees me as a romantic rival and even wants to silence me...

Hearing the Demonic Flame Sect Master threaten to kill him, Ye Yun raised an eyebrow and showed a hint of a peculiar expression on his face.

If it were anyone else spewing such treacherous words, Ye Yun would have taken their head with a single sword stroke long ago.

However.

The Demonic Flame Sect Master is a Lotus Demon Dragon, a former subordinate of the Ancestor Dragon.

The Pure Lotus Demon Dragon Clan should reside on the Dragon Hidden Continent, yet they appeared in the Divine Land, indicating there’s some hidden mystery.

According to the information Ye Yun currently has, the Dragon-rearing Clan dominates the Divine Land, controlling all the Dragon Clan.

Basically.

The Dragon Clan in the Divine Land are generally weak, mostly reduced to being mounts or divine pets of the spirits, holding a humble status, unworthy of the limelight.

But the Lotus Demon Dragon before him has cultivation base reaching the Divine King Realm and is the most powerful Sect Master within the Three Fire God Cult.

The strength and status are far superior to ordinary Dragon Clan.

This made Ye Yun somewhat suspicious of how the Lotus Demon Dragon managed to escape the clutches of the Dragon Raiser.

There’s definitely something strange about this.

Thinking deeply about this, Ye Yun chose not to get angry, just calmly looked at the Demonic Flame Sect Master.

This little guy... deserves a beating.

However, Ye Yun didn’t plan to reveal his Ancestor Dragon identity at this moment but intended to act as the Sword Cultivator, Long Yunzi, to give this Little Dragon a good lesson.

"Long Yunzi, don’t be afraid, I’m still here! No matter what, I won’t let this guy hurt you!"

Seeing Ye Yun’s peculiar expression, Emperor Jiuying thought he was afraid and gently tightened her arms around Ye Yun’s arm, whispering comfortingly.

"Do you think... I’m afraid?"

Ye Yun raised an eyebrow, smiling playfully.

"Well... I know you Sword Cultivators are bold and possess unwavering, tenacious spirits, but this Dragon Chan has superior strength, definitely not someone your current level can handle!"

Emperor Jiuying whispered.

"That may not be so. Whether I can beat him or not, I’ll have to try to know!"

Ye Yun responded with a confident smile.

Emperor Jiuying’s expression froze, momentarily flustered by Ye Yun’s invincible confidence.

"Damn it!"

Seeing Emperor Jiuying intimately holding Ye Yun’s arm, speaking sweetly with each other as if no one else was present, the Demonic Flame Sect Master’s anger erupted instantly.

"Sister Jiuying, our families have been close for generations, so don’t blame me for being ruthless this time. Now, I’ll give your little lover a chance..."

The Demonic Flame Sect Master took a deep breath, speaking sternly.

"What chance?"

Emperor Jiuying frowned and asked.

"I’ll suppress my cultivation to the Fourth Layer of the Divine Sovereign Realm for a fair fight with him — if he unfortunately dies, then you choose me as your partner!"

The Demonic Flame Sect Master spoke with composure.

At this moment, he suppressed his incensed fury, showing his profound skills in maintaining composure.

"Dragon Chan, you’re going too far, you are Dragon Clan and control Lotus Demon Fire, now in the Three Fire God Cult territory, having all the advantages. How can my partner fight you?"

Emperor Jiuying gritted her teeth in anger and said.

"It’s a fair duel of realms, if your partner’s skills aren’t as good, then he deserves to die!"

The Demonic Flame Sect Master shrugged, speaking blandly.

His expression was cold, his gaze fell coldly and mercilessly on Ye Yun.

It seemed at this moment.

Emperor Jiuying’s partner had already become a dead body.

"This Demonic Flame Sect Master is indeed aggressive, determined to utterly eliminate the Nine Heavens Divine King’s partner!"

In a certain pavilion.

A Divine King frowned in anger, speaking with irritation.

"Qi Feather Divine King, have you noticed, this Demonic Flame Sect Master... seems different from before?"

A man’s voice, through some transmission method, reached the ear of the Qi Feather Divine King.

Qi Feather Divine King was taken aback.

"Indeed, he’s somewhat different. The previous Demonic Flame Sect Master was composed and couldn’t be so base, but today to win over Emperor Jiuying as his partner, he’s completely shameless?"

Qi Feather Divine King pondered and transmitted back.

"Logically, even if this Demonic Flame Sect Master’s strength increased greatly after breaking into the Divine King Realm, he couldn’t become this heartless to a maddened extent!

Now, his obsession with obtaining the Nine Heavens Divine King must have some unspeakable ulterior motive!"

The voice spoke slowly.

Unspeakable ulterior motive?

Qi Feather Divine King’s eyes lit up, appearing to have realized something...

The Nine Heavens Divine King, Emperor Jiuying, was from the Di Family, an extremely old clan. It’s said in much further past there was a Half-step God Emperor Realm Powerhouse.

However.

With the changing times, the Di Family gradually declined, leaving only Emperor Jiuying as a Divine King.

As the saying goes.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

Maybe this Di Family harbors some unknown secret, arousing the covetousness of the Demonic Flame Sect Master Dragon Chan, so he eagerly desiring to become partners with Emperor Jiuying.

Qi Feather Divine King communicated his suspicions with that Divine King and astonishingly, their speculations matched.

"We can unite, absolutely cannot let Dragon Chan succeed..."

Qi Feather Divine King said.

"Good! That Dragon Chan harbors great ambition, if he inherits the Di Family’s fortune, we might all have to stand under his shadow in the future..."

The Divine King expressed his concern and agreed without hesitation.

Thus.

In that fleeting moment, the two Divine Kings secretly formed a defensive and offensive alliance.

"I accept your challenge!"

A calm voice suddenly resounded in the entire plaza’s sky.

Ye Yun looked at the Demonic Flame Sect Master, his face revealing a calm and composed demeanor as he shook off Emperor Jiuying’s arm and stepped forward.

With one stride.

He stood in the void, facing the Demonic Flame Sect Master from afar.

"Long Yunzi, you are no match for him, don’t fight him, his Lotus Demon Fire is extremely sinister!"

A golden light flashed.

Emperor Jiuying appeared beside him, grabbing Ye Yun’s arm, her expression anxious as she spoke.

"Alright, alright! Long Yunzi, is it? Hiding behind a woman, what kind of hero are you? Come and fight! Or get lost!"

The Demonic Flame Sect Master laughed loudly.

"Hahaha..." From far away, the disciples of the Three Fire God Cult, seemingly cheering for their Sect Master, also laughed recklessly.

The laughter soared and fell like waves.

Ye Yun flicked his hand, easily freeing himself from the Nine Heavens Divine King’s arm.

He drew a Silver Sword, looking calmly at the opposing Demonic Flame Sect Master, mocking,"Seems like you have a lot of confidence in your Lotus Demon Fire, huh?"

"Of course!"

Seeing Ye Yun readying for a duel, the Demonic Flame Sect Master laughed heartily, his aura swiftly dropped down.

Until the Fourth Layer of the Divine Sovereign Realm.

On the other side, the Nine Heavens Divine King, Emperor Jiuying’s expression suddenly changed, her eyes rolled around twice, her jade hand loosened slightly, at this moment, she didn’t block Ye Yun anymore.

The tingling sensation from his arm earlier seemed to still inform her that this man in the Fourth Layer of God Respect State—his power was almost equal to hers.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to free himself from her grip so casually.

A small detail.

Was almost overlooked by everyone.

Perhaps some believed that the Nine Heavens Divine King wouldn’t exert much force when holding onto her partner.

After all, the physical strength of a Divine King isn’t something an Immortal honoring practitioner can bear.
