Yun Che also stopped and saluted the old man with a sage-like demeanor: “I am Yun Che, the disciple of Ice Phoenix, and I am honored to meet Senior Sword Master. I also congratulate Fairy Xilei for achieving the Great Dao.”

“Hmph!” Jun Xilei’s face was icy cold, her eyes like swords: “You don’t need to be hypocritical! Yun Che, I haven’t forgotten the account from that year at all!”

“The accounts from the past? What accounts?” Yun Che looked puzzled. “Counting our first encounter in the Snow Song Realm and the battle at the Conferred God Arena, we have only met three times in total, right? How can there be any accounts?”

After he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had suddenly realized something: "Are you talking about the snow coat I gave you that year?"

In the battle between Yun Che and Jun Xilei, Jun Xilei, despite the humiliation, risked her life and forcefully used the nameless sword. When she swung the sword for the third time, Yun Che defeated her with his soul power. As her faith collapsed, she had no more strength left... The clothes that had already been shattered and were sealed by profound energy were about to be completely shattered.

Fortunately, Yun Che had already noticed it and quickly sealed her dress with his profound energy, then put on his own Ice Phoenix Snow Dress for her... He also touched her head and coaxed her to sleep on the spot.

Counting it all, this was indeed the only interaction between him and Jun Xilei.

When this matter was suddenly mentioned, Jun Xilei's sword energy suddenly became disordered. Her face darkened, and the cold light in her eyes wished she could pierce thousands of holes in Yun Che's body...but she was stunned for a long time without saying a word.

“Oh…” Yun Che said with an understanding attitude: “As expected of Fairy Xilei, the future Sword Lord, you really are very clear about gratitude and resentment, and you don’t want to owe anyone anything. Well, if you don’t like to owe debts, then just return the Ice Phoenix Snow Robe to me.”

As he spoke, Yun Che actually stretched out his hand.

That battle was four years ago for Yun Che.

But it took three thousand years for me to shed tears for you!

It would be weird if that Ice Phoenix Snow Dress is still there!

Furthermore, considering how much Jun Xilei hated Yun Che, it was estimated that the snow-white coat would have been destroyed by her the day after the battle, with not a single slag left.

But, to be fair, that snow-white dress was indeed a favor bestowed by Yun Che on Jun Xilei. Because if it weren’t for him, in that battle four years ago, with her profound energy completely dissipated, she would have been naked on the Conferred God Stage, and the entire Eastern Divine Region would have seen it clearly. With her extremely strong pride and self-esteem, she would definitely be ashamed and angry to death.

Jun Xilei suddenly saw Yun Che still alive, and a surge of anger instantly rushed to her head. But when Yun Che said this... Jun Xilei instantly changed from being the debt collector to the debtor.

“You!” Jun Xilei’s face changed again… Among the nineteen sons of the Universe who had achieved the status of Divine Lord, Jun Xilei was naturally indispensable, and now she was already a mid-stage Emperor, far surpassing Jun Wuming of the same period.

Jun Xilei now, whether in terms of swordsmanship or state of mind, is by no means comparable to what she was back then... but she was so angry at Yun Che's words that she gritted her teeth.

She immediately noticed the change in her emotions that shouldn't have happened, and she woke up instantly. However, she couldn't suppress the nameless anger in her chest. She gritted her teeth secretly and reached out to grab it: "Okay! It's just a torn piece of clothing... I'll give it back to you!"

She swung her hand, and a white shadow smashed into Yun Che's face.

Yun Che subconsciously reached out to take it, and when he saw what was in his hand clearly, he was stunned for a moment.

In his hand was a man's coat, snow-white and dust-free, emitting a chill... It was actually an Ice Phoenix Snow Coat, and it was the same coat that he had put on Jun Xilei that year.

Because he was Mu Xuanyin's direct disciple, the Ice Phoenix Snow Robe he wore was different from that of all other Ice Phoenix disciples and could not be imitated.

Yun Che raised his head and looked at Jun Xilei, whose face was filled with resentment and who wished she could eat him alive. He said with wide eyes, “Hey, hey… It’s been three thousand years, and you still keep it? You’re not secretly in love with me, are you?”

"Looking for death!" Jun Xilei was furious. She stretched out her snow-white hand and actually grabbed the hilt of the nameless sword.

clang!

Wuming drew his sword from its sheath. Although only half a foot of the sword was visible, it caused space to condense and the heaven and earth to tremble.

On the other side, Jun Wuming and Mu Xuanyin were talking calmly, ignoring the dispute between the two juniors.

“Senior Sword Master, how are you?” Mu Xuanyin saluted.

“Haha,” Jun Wuming smiled faintly, his eyes full of amazement, “It’s only been a few years since we last met, but the aura of the Xuanyin Realm King seems to have undergone another qualitative change. The young are truly to be feared, the young are truly to be feared.”

“Senior Sword Master, thank you for your compliment. Back then in the Snow Song Realm, I was impulsive and offended you. I hope you can forgive me.” Mu Xuanyin said calmly.

Jun Wuming shook his head: "If you want to talk about offense, it was us, the master and the disciple, who were the first to offend."

He glanced at Yun Che slightly, and said, “I have lived for 50,000 years in vain. I thought that I had rich experience and sharp eyesight, but I didn’t expect that I was completely wrong back then. To be honest, after the Conferred God War, I had higher expectations for Yun Che than for my inferior disciple... But he failed to enter the Eternal Heaven God Realm, which is a great pity.”

After saying that, he sighed.

“This is his fate, and a blessing in disguise.” Mu Xuanyin said.

"Yeah." Jun Wuming nodded and said with emotion: "Thinking back to the matter of Yinxue, although it is extremely embarrassing, but now I think that it is actually a good thing for my inferior disciple. Especially since these two young people with unlimited futures have become friends, maybe it will become a good story in the future, hehe."

Mu Xuanyin: “…”

Jun Xilei was furious, and the nameless sword was unsheathed. The two of them looked at each other sideways. Jun Wuming tapped his fingers lightly, and with a slight sound, the nameless sword returned to its sheath. He glanced at Yun Che and said with a half-smile: "Tear, don't be rude. Since you have already reached the great perfection of the sword realm, how can you be so careless."

Jun Xilei lowered her head, took two steps back, and said with shame, "Yes, disciple knows I was wrong."

In the 600th year of the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm, she had already achieved Divine Mastership, and her state of mind had also been elevated, reaching the state of swordsmanship where the mind was as sharp as the sword's edge. The power of her "Heartless Sword Domain" had undergone a qualitative change.

But in front of Yun Che, she actually got angry so easily... Thinking back to just now, her heart shuddered, and she quickly calmed down, and soon her sword heart was clear.

At this time, Yun Che said, “What Senior Sword Master said is true. Back then, she was still a little girl who had not grown up yet. It was normal for her to be proud and easily angry. But now she is so old, and she still wants to fight and kill at every turn…”

“~! @#￥%… Yun Che, I will kill you!!!”

The sword heart that had just become clear was like being stuffed into a volcano that suddenly erupted. With a loud "clang", the nameless sword was completely unsheathed... If Jun Wuming hadn't quickly stretched out his hand to stop it, Yun Che might have been shattered into pieces in the next moment.

“Hey.” Jun Wuming completely suppressed Jun Xilei’s aura and said in a harsh voice: “Lei’er!”

Jun Xilei's beautiful eyes were blazing with fire, and she clenched her teeth tightly as she stared at Yun Che, who had hid behind Mu Xuanyin at lightning speed. Then, she finally suppressed her anger with the greatest willpower of her life, retracted the Nameless Sword, and then snorted coldly and turned around without looking at him again.

Jun Wuming shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He nodded slightly to Mu Xuanyin, turned around and said, "Okay, let's go."

“Hey, wait, wait!” Yun Che spoke again at this moment, raising his hand to grab the Ice Phoenix Snow Robe that Jun Xilei had returned to him: “I have grown a bit taller and stronger in the past few years, so this snow robe should no longer fit me. More importantly, I never take back anything I give away, so I’ll give it back to you.”

After saying that, he pushed with his palm, and the Ice Phoenix Snow Robe flew towards Jun Xilei again.

Jun Xilei didn't even turn around and said coldly: "Who wants your tattered clothes!"

Jun Wuming stretched out his hand, and with a gentle aura he took the snow-white robe. He said with a smile, "Thank you for the gift, my friend. I will accept it on behalf of my humble disciple."

Yun Che: “Uh…”

"See you at the Zhoutian Conference in three days." Jun Wuming smiled faintly and left with Jun Xilei.

Looking at Jun Wuming’s receding back, Yun Che’s eyes froze for a moment.

He vaguely felt that Jun Wuming’s life span... seemed to be running out.

“Huh…” Yun Che exhaled lightly and muttered to himself, “After so many years, she hasn’t changed at all. It’s better to stay away from her from now on.”

Mu Xuanyin glanced at him and said in an extremely calm tone, "Do you dislike older women?"

Yun Che was stunned for a moment, then shook his head like a rattle: “No no no no no no no! Absolutely… absolutely not! Disciple just… just simply doesn’t like that bad-tempered Little Sword Master. I absolutely don’t have any other intentions, and definitely not…”

"Ah! Master, wait for me!"

Before Yun Che could finish his words, Mu Xuanyin's figure had already gone far away, and he hurriedly chased after her.

Eternal Heaven God Realm, another place.

Xia Qingyue sat quietly behind the desk, flipping through a book of the Eternal Heaven. Her eyes were focused, her face was bare, yet she was as beautiful as the morning glow reflecting on the snow. It seemed as if there was a barrier separating them, the room was extremely quiet, and she was as tranquil as a beautiful painting.

As she flipped her fingers, her sitting posture also turned slightly, and the purple dress on her body inadvertently revealed the unusually round and full curves of her chest... Although it was only a fleeting moment, it was truly more perfect than the bright moon in the sky.

At this time, the door was gently pushed open, and a girl with fair skin and a slender figure walked in. She bowed in front of Xia Qingyue and said, "Master, the King of Xuanyin Realm and Yun Che have arrived at the Eternal Heaven Realm."

“Yes.” Putting down the book in her hand, Xia Qingyue raised her eyes, a glimmer of purple light flashed in the depths of her eyes: “It’s about the same time as I expected. Lianyue, you will personally guard by my side for the next few days. If anything happens, send a message to me immediately.”

"Yes." The girl took the order, then took a small step forward and held up a small purple crystal in both hands: "Master, this is the recent intelligence."

Xia Qingyue tapped her fingers lightly and took the purple crystal in her hand. As the purple light flashed, the information inside had already entered her mind: “Go down.”

"Lian Yue takes her leave."

The girl took two steps back and was about to turn around and leave, when she suddenly heard Xia Qingyue whisper behind her: "Wait!"

The girl stopped and looked up and asked, "Master, do you have any other instructions?"

“…” Xia Qingyue stood up, her brows slightly furrowed. She slowly walked to the side of Lianyue, her slender body more than a head taller than the petite girl: “Give orders to them to focus on investigating the frequent family annihilation cases in the Dragon God Realm in recent years. Especially the time and location of the first case… and try to search for every trace of power left at the scene. The more detailed the better!”

“Eh?” The girl was stunned. It took her a while to realize what Xia Qingyue was talking about. She said puzzledly, “Master, there are very few spies in the Dragon God Realm, and it is not easy to place them. If we conduct an investigation of this level, it will greatly affect the collection of other intelligence. And… and in Lianyue’s eyes, these tragedies are just trivial matters.”

Of all the intelligence from the Dragon God Realm, that was the smallest and most insignificant one, and was only mentioned in passing.

"Just give the order and investigate this matter with all your strength in the near future. Everything else can be put on hold for the time being!"

Whether it was his expression or his tone, there was a rare heaviness. The girl felt a little apprehensive, but although she was full of doubts, she did not dare to ask any more questions: "Yes."

Lianyue turned to leave, and when she was about to step out of the door, she was stopped by Xia Qingyue again.

“Lian Yue,” she asked, “A year ago, Brahma Emperor and Zhou Tian both sent people to the Dragon God Realm, hoping that the Dragon Queen would help them dissolve the evil spirit of the Evil Infant, but they were rejected by the Dragon Emperor… Are you sure it was the Dragon Emperor who rejected them, and not the Dragon Queen herself?”

"Yes." Lian Yue thought for a moment and said, "It is said that the Dragon Queen is in seclusion and no one can see her, so the Dragon Emperor has come forward to refuse anyone."

“Is it certain that the new barrier of the Forbidden Land of Samsara was set up by the Dragon Emperor himself?” Xia Qingyue asked again.

“Yes.” Lian Yue nodded lightly, without even the slightest hesitation this time: “Because the Dragon Queen suddenly went into seclusion, the Dragon Emperor personally ordered that no spirits in the 3,000-mile area around the Samsara Forbidden Land could approach. To show deterrence, he personally forged a huge barrier. This is known to all spirits in the Dragon God Realm, and it’s not a secret.”

"...You go ahead."

Lianyue left, and Xia Qingyue stood still, her brows furrowed...

In the past year, the Dragon God Realm had seen dozens of tragic cases of entire families being wiped out overnight, with no remains left...among them were many wealthy and prominent families.

The largest tribe, with 300,000 people, became dead overnight.

But no trace was left, and no one knew who did it.

Among these tragic genocides, there were both small clans and large clans, and the times and locations of the genocides were all over the place with no pattern to be found. They also had no common or related enemies.

The only thing they have in common...

Their surnames are all "Yun"!

After a long period of silence, Xia Qingyue finally moved and sat down at the desk again, but she no longer had the heart to read the books. She stroked her forehead with her hand and sighed softly: "I hope I am overthinking."
