Holding Qingyue's hand, Yun Che walked in the direction of the only Tyrant Profound Realm beast within this secret realm; his sole reason for coming into this place.
This beast not only held the Water Seed but also had a wisp of the Heretic God's Soul! Yun Che wanted this wisp to use spatial laws, like it did in the original, to send him to the Azure Continent for two simple reasons.
First, it would allow him to obtain one of the most underused laws: Space!
Second, he could meet Ling'er!
Just imagining meeting Ling'er made him feel weirdly excited in his heart, but he made sure to control his emotions well.
"Where are we going?" After walking with him for some time, Qingyue was able to deduce that they were not walking in a random direction, but one predetermined by Yun Che. She thought he probably knew where they were going.
"To make you strong." Not really divulging his real purpose, Yun Che replied with a smile. "Don't you want to become strong to get your mother back? I have a perfect way to enhance your strength! Just follow me!"
Hearing him, Qingyue's hold over his hand suddenly tightened, and her eyes became slightly moist. Seeing him doing this much for her made Qingyue feel incredibly warm in her chest, at the same time, guilty at the fact that despite him doing this much, she couldn't even attend her duty as his wife.
"There is this flower that can allow one consuming it to reach the Emperor Profound Realm instantly! With this, you will become the fourth Emperor Profound Realm within Asgard!"
Qingyue's eyes widened.
"Such a magical flower… Does it exist?"
"Of course, it does. Why would I say it otherwise?" Yun Che chuckled before he suddenly stopped, making Qingyue, who was silently staring at his back, confused.
"Why did we stop?" She wondered if they had reached the flower or not.
"Oh, we have guests."
Qingyue's eyes suddenly turned sharp, and she looked around. Not finding anyone, she looked back at Yun Che and asked: "I don't feel anyone."
"It is because they are not profound beasts… my dear wife."
Qingyue's eyes widened as she realized right away—they were being targeted! No! She looked at Yun Che and realized it was Yun Che who was being targeted!
Thinking this, her eyes took a sudden shift and became incomparably cold. Even the aura around her became so cold that people might be frozen solid just by her presence alone!
"It seems like we have been caught." A calm and collected voice from the sky before different people started to appear all around.
Seeing them, Qingyue's expression changed, and a horrified expression appeared on her face.
Burning Heaven Clan.
Xiao Sect.
Heavenly Sword Villa.
Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress.
All big forces of the Blue Wind Empire, except for the Asgard, had gathered here! And feeling their aura filled with murderous intent, Qingyue knew they were here for anything but a good talk!
"So many people… You guys are flattering me."
"Humph. Yun Che, at this stage, there is nothing to hide between you and us. Be a good kid and tell us how you boasted Princess Cang Yue's strength so fast in half a year. If you do so, we might let you go alive."
Qingyue felt her heart almost jump within her chest.
This was a blatant threat! And obviously, they wouldn't let them leave alive even if they knew the truth! Today, they were here with the intent to kill them!
"I don't want to."
"... What?"
Yun Che's reply was so straightforward that, for a second, it made everyone stunned. They all looked at Yun Che and asked him to say it once again, which he did gladly.
"I said, I don't want to. In the first place, I wonder what gives you the courage to even think that you guys can defeat me. Did the Cuck Master—I mean, Villa Master over there not tell you that I am stronger than even him? It feels like you people deliberately came to my door to die."
Everyone's eyes widened, and all of them turned to look towards Yuefeng, who had an ugly angry expression on his face. Seeing this, they gulped. The amount of killing intent he was releasing was enough to make them wonder just what happened between him and Yun Che.
This kind of hostility was not common at all!
Feeling everyone's stare, Yuefeng also returned to his senses. He knew that if he told the truth now, these people would definitely try to find an excuse and run. So he had to make sure all these people stayed.
In his eyes, Yun Che may be powerful, but he shouldn't be too powerful. The fact that he conceded to Ling Kun showed that. As such, Yuefeng thought that with all of them together, they should be able to defeat him.
Not to add the fact that Qingyue, a dead weight, was also present. Yun Che definitely cannot fight all of them while also protecting Qingyue!
"Do not worry, everyone! He may be a little bit stronger, but with our collective strength, even my father will have to be cautious! We can definitely defeat him!"
Hearing him, though everyone relaxed a little, the astonishment still remained in their hearts.
Yun Che was stronger than Yuefeng, an Emperor Profound Realm level three! And he didn't even look like he was in his twenties! Such talent! They were afraid that even if they dug up all their history, they wouldn't find anyone as talented as him.
Thinking such, their greed intensified.
Not only could this treasure make Cang Yue reach Earth Profound Realm in half a year, but it also made Yun Che an Emperor Profound Realm! They must get their hands on this treasure or knowledge regarding it at all costs!
"Stupid."
"Yun Che…" Qingyue softly pulled the corner of his robes, looking at him worriedly. Her eyes were clear: let's dip.
But Yun Che just held her hand and smiled softly, reassuring her.
"Believe in your husband."
Hearing his reply and seeing his confident face, Qingyue suddenly felt her heart thumping fast. Her cheeks turned red, and she hurriedly turned her face away.
Yun Che looked too handsome all of a sudden!
"Well, are all of you coming together or one by one? I won't mind either way."
Everyone's faces turned ugly. Never had they seen anyone disrespecting them so openly. As people who are used to looking down on everyone, seeing a junior looking at them with disdain was a new feeling for them. And they didn't like it in the least!
"Let's all attack together!" Yuefeng, knowing Yun Che's mysteriousness, didn't want to take any chances. As such, he ordered everyone to attack together.
All of a sudden, the sky turned dark, and everyone released their profound strength.
Huge pressure descended, and it made Qingyue bend her back a little, but the moment the pressure came to her, it vanished instantly.
Feeling this, she looked towards Yun Che, who only gave her an assuring look before turning his gaze back to the people in the sky.
"You left us no choice. Don't blame us for hurting you then," Fen Moli shouted as profound energy burst out of his body, causing the temperature to rise suddenly.
Yuefeng and the other sect leaders also didn't hold back and released their profound energies, making the atmosphere sharp and edgy due to the high sword intent.
The youths from each sect created distance between themselves and the battlefield to avoid getting caught in the crossfire.
Everyone fighting here was at least at the Sky Profound Realm, with the highest being the Emperor Profound Realm. If they participated in the fight, they would die from the afterattack of their own elders. Thus, the best choice for them was to create distance between themselves and their elders.
The first one to attack was the Xiao Sect Leader, Xiao Juetian.
The profound energy around him gathered before creating a huge sharp wind storm. Wherever it passed, it sliced everything to pieces due to the sharp sword-like wind currents!
"Extreme Wind Slash!" Xiao Juitian shouted, not holding back in the least.
The huge wind storm stagnated for a second before releasing itself towards Yun Che and Xia Qingyue.
Before it even reached them, Fen Moli also attacked.
The wind storm, which was made up of sharp wind currents, was suddenly mixed with fire, creating a fire storm!
The air became hot, and the snow started to melt.
The weather, which was cold a second ago, suddenly turned hot!
"All elders, together!" Yuefeng shouted and raised his sword in the sky, followed by the elders of the Heavenly Sword Villa.
Tsunami-like sword intent was released before all of it gathered together to form a massive sword in the sky! Following the direction of Yuefeng, the huge sword was dropped over Yun Che and Qingyue's heads!
"Stay back." Seeing the incoming attacks, Yun Che softly pushed Qingyue before softly muttering.
"Sealing Cloud Locking Sun." Directly opening the second gate, Yun Che used the profound defensive art of the Heretic God! A protective barrier appeared around Yun Che and Qingyue instantly.
The moment it appeared, the attacks from the Xiao Sect, Burning Heaven Clan, and Heavenly Sword Villa fell upon them collectively!
Suddenly, silence appeared within the world as if the sound was stolen from it... followed by a huge explosion! The explosion shook the ground for a hundred miles, and the smoke rose dozens of miles in the sky, showing the destructiveness of the collective attacks of everyone!
"... Didn't we overdo it? What if his body is destroyed?" Mu Tianbei asked, but no one answered him. Unlike other people, he was here for the treasure Yun Che held. If his body is destroyed, wouldn't all the treasures be lost? Then his purpose of coming here would be useless!"
