"So, this is Emperor Fall Mountain..."
A white-clad figure descended onto the peak of a majestic mountain that resembled an imperial crown.
Ye Yun gazed at the towering gate, hands behind his back, revealing a slight relaxed smile on his face.
After a long journey, he finally arrived at the Di Family.
The Wan Huan Qian Pu Dan has yet to be refined, but the master is still safe.
Ye Yun took a step forward.
At the mountain gate stood several young men at the Divine Monarch Realm.
"Halt, who might you be?"
A young man blocked his way, scrutinizing Ye Yun from head to toe.
Eighth Layer of Divine Venerable Realm, carrying a sword...
Looks like heâs a sword cultivator.
Such a cultivation base might make him noteworthy elsewhere, but here at the Di Family, it was somewhat lacking.
"Young brother, Iâm here to see the Nine Heavens Divine King, Emperor Jiuying. Go in and announce me!"
Ye Yun said softly.
These gatekeeping disciples had a rather ordinary cultivation base, so he didnât make things difficult for them.
What, seeking the Nine Heavens Divine King?
Upon hearing this, the young menâs expressions became quite intriguing.
This guy, asking directly for the Nine Heavens Divine King, isnât that a bit too bold?
"Sir, the Nine Heavens Divine King from our Di Family holds an esteemed status; itâs not for you to see on a whim. If youâre not here to offer treasures, you better turn back!"
The young man waved his hand impolitely.
Turn back?
Ye Yun chuckled lightly, his eyes narrowing slightly at that moment.
"I am here offering treasures. Is this sufficient?"
He laughed again.
"Unless youâre offering the Heart of the Heavenly Illusory Purple Snake, youâd better leave. The only poison our Di Family lacks now is this one!"
The young man waved impatiently.
Ye Yun laughed.
This gatekeeping youth had a slightly arrogant attitude but wasnât someone who bullied others with power.
"Emperor Jiuying, Iâve come to see you, why not come out to greet me quickly?"
Ye Yun shouted.
His voice was so loud that it instantly echoed throughout Emperor Fall Mountain, audible to almost everyone in the Di Family.
"Who dares to shout the name of the Nine Heavens Divine King so blatantly?"
"Go out and see quickly!"
A large number of Di Family disciples suddenly emerged from various parts of Emperor Fall Mountain, rising into the air and looking towards the mountain gate.
At this moment.
A golden beam, at an unimaginable speed, suddenly descended from afar.
"You... why are you here?"
The golden light dissipated, transforming into a woman in a splendid golden robe.
It was none other than the Nine Heavens Divine King, Emperor Jiuying.
"Youâre in trouble. As your Dao companion, how could I not come to help you resolve your issues?"
Ye Yun smiled gently, speaking warmly as he walked towards Emperor Jiuying.
At this time, Emperor Jiuying was very different from the past.
Though a divine king, she now appeared exhausted, an indescribable weariness showing in her demeanor.
Ye Yun felt a bit heartbroken.
This young girl, bearing immense pressure for the poison afflicting her father.
But fortunately.
Now that he was here, all troubles were no longer troubles.
"This..."
The nearby young men were too shocked to speak, watching as Ye Yun walked towards the Nine Heavens Divine King.
They couldnât believe it.
This sword cultivator of the Eighth Layer of Divine Venerable Realm was actually the Dao companion of the Nine Heavens Divine King.
"The gap between them is too vast. How could the Nine Heavens Divine King fancy this guy?"
A young man couldnât help but angrily shout in his mind.
"Youâre here. I thought you had gone missing..."
Emperor Jiuying said softly, as she watched Ye Yun approach, her beautiful eyes filled with tears.
"I wasnât missing; I just had some matters to attend to and arrived a bit late!"
Ye Yun reached the front, gently extending a hand, softly wiping away the tears at Emperor Jiuyingâs eyes.
Back then, although it started as pretend...
He could tell that Emperor Jiuyingâs feelings towards him had become genuinely sincere.
Ye Yun sighed lightly.
He had many intimate friends, how could he not understand Emperor Jiuyingâs state?
This is what you call love at first sight.
Back then, that little girl with her hair in braids was the same.
...
"Unbelievable, the Nine Heavens Divine King actually has a Dao companion!"
In the depths of Emperor Fall Mountain, a floating Di Family disciple exclaimed in shock.
"Isnât her Dao companionâs cultivation a bit too weak, only at the Eighth Layer of Divine Venerable Realm?"
Beside him, a female disciple stroked her chin, frowning.
The sword cultivator youth might be handsome, but this cultivation level... was really subpar.
No matter how you look at it, he seemed unworthy of the Nine Heavens Divine King.
"Could it be that... this boyâs good looks captivated our Di Familyâs Nine Heavens Divine King?"
That young man asked awkwardly.
"Whatâs the use of being handsome? It canât fill oneâs stomach. In this world full of powerhouses, strength should reign supreme!"
The female disciple scoffed.
The pairâs conversation seemed to echo the sentiments of many in the Di Family.
At the same time.
Almost everyone discussed the Nine Heavens Divine Kingâs sword cultivator Dao companion.
His cultivation was too weak.
Such a feeble sword cultivator was unworthy of even carrying the Nine Heavens Divine Kingâs shoes.
"My matters, you allâcease your gossip!"
Upon hearing the distant barrage of discussions, the Nine Heavens Divine King turned around, eyes sharp and indifferent as she commanded.
With the Nine Heavens Divine Kingâs order issued.
One after another, figures immediately descended from the air, disappearing without a trace.
After all, she was the Nine Heavens Divine King, holding esteemed status.
In Emperor Fall Mountain, every God King Realm expert wielded supreme authority.
Not to mention,
This was Di Dao Linâs daughter, her identity was extraordinary.
The void rippled.
A black-robed elder suddenly broke through the void, gracefully landing beside Emperor Jiuying.
"Jiuying, is this your Dao companion?"
The black-robed elder looked at Ye Yun with sharp eyes, scrutinizing him several times with an unfriendly expression.
This black-robed elder was the second-most powerful figure in the Di Family, Di Dao Linâs brother, Emperor Wushuang, Emperor Jiuyingâs uncle.
"Greetings, Second Uncle!"
Emperor Jiuying dared not disregard, her expression softened, slightly bowing, smiling as she said: "To tell the truth, he is indeed my Dao companion."
"Jiuying, itâs not just me who thinks this, but your Dao companionâs cultivation is indeed rather weak. Compared to Yuwen Qiming from Tianque City, that young man is already at the Half-step God King Realm. Given Tianque Cityâs power, it wonât be long before he steps into the God King Realm!"
Emperor Wushuang stood with hands behind his back, his eyes slightly narrowed, staring at Ye Yun with a composed expression.
"Uncle, donât trouble yourself over my marriage affairs!"
Emperor Jiuyingâs expression changed, suppressing her inner fluctuations, she spoke softly.
Ye Yun looked at Emperor Wushuang, his gaze also becoming sharp.
From the old manâs words, it was evident he was trying hard to pair Emperor Jiuying with Yuwen Qiming, the son of Tianque Cityâs City Lord.
Clearly attempting to steal his woman?
"Young girl, my efforts are not all for naught but for my elder brother suffering from poison.
The primary ingredient for Wan Huan Qian Pu Dan, Heart of the Heavenly Illusory Purple Snake, only exists with Tianque Cityâs City Lord, if you refuse this marriage, your father is truly in danger!"
Emperor Wushuang sighed, shaking his head repeatedly.
Emperor Jiuying fell silent.
Her uncle was right. If she didnât agree to this marriage, her father truly might not survive much longer.
"Jiuying, isnât it just the Heart of the Heavenly Illusory Purple Snake? Whatâs so difficult about it?"
Ye Yun chuckled.
"Do you have a way?"
Emperor Jiuying asked with delight, "Could it be you have the Heart of the Heavenly Illusory Purple Snake?"
"I donât, but we can go to Tianque City to look around..."
Ye Yun said with a smile.
"You sword cultivator, boasting without fear of biting your tongue!
Tianque City is known to be tremendously powerful, yet you dare enter and steal the Heart of the Heavenly Illusory Purple Snake under the eyes of so many God King Realm expertsâitâs sheer madness!"
Emperor Wushuang angrily exclaimed.
This sword cultivator youth planned to infiltrate Tianque City to steal the Sky Illusion Purple Snake, truly audacious.
Utterly ignorant of what death means.
