“It was definitely Mighty Heavenly Sword Region that did this! These bastards!” Xia Yuanba was so angry that he was about to charge forward.

“Don’t move!” Yun Che grabbed Xia Yuanba. His eyes and face were extremely gloomy, and the anger in his heart was almost exploding: “Yuanba, listen to me. From now on, you must draw a clear line between you and me! No matter what happens later, don’t care about me or Xiao Yun, and it’s best not to say a word.”

“What?” Xia Yuanba’s eyes widened, and he shook his head firmly, “Brother-in-law, I have been practicing hard these years just to avoid holding you back. If I ever face difficulties, I will at least be qualified to stand by you… How could I abandon my brother-in-law just to save myself? If that’s the case, I might as well die here.”

“No, I’m not doing this to protect you!” Yun Che’s face became increasingly gloomy: “Look carefully at Xiao Yun’s current state!”

After being released by Xuanyuan Guxing, Xiao Yun still stood there, without falling down, and his eyes were open, obviously his strength and consciousness were still there. However, his eyes were without focus, without color, and his whole face was dull, as if he had no soul.

“He was poisoned!” Yun Che said bitterly, “And the one who poisoned him must be the man in black next to him!”

Xia Yuanba: "Poison?"

“On the first day I arrived at the Ocean Palace, I was taken by the Great Elder Mo Chenfeng to meet the Sea Emperor, and I saw the man in black. According to Mo Chenfeng, his name is ‘Ghostly Poison Immortal’, and he is known as the number one poison user in the Profound Sky Continent. The reason why he appeared in the Supreme Ocean Palace was because he was invited by Mighty Heavenly Sword Region!” Yun Che’s teeth were almost broken. “At that time, I was curious about why Mighty Heavenly Sword Region invited such a person to the Devil Sword Conference. It turns out that it was to… target Xiao Yun, and use him against me!”

“What do you mean by poison? Is it to poison Xiao Yun and force you to submit?” Xia Yuanba asked anxiously.

“No!” Yun Che shook his head. “If it was just for the purpose of poisoning, Mighty Heavenly Sword Region would not have needed this Ghostly Poison Immortal. If I am not mistaken, what Xiao Yun was poisoned with should be a mind-confusing poison that would make him lose his will and answer truthfully no matter what he is asked!”

“What!?” Xia Yuanba was shocked. To Yun Che, this was far more terrifying than any deadly poison. If the fact that Yun Che’s “master” was a fiction was exposed, at most he would suffer revenge from the Sun Moon Divine Hall. But if his phantom demon was exposed by using the identity of the young master of the Yun family, he would surely become the target of public criticism from the Four Sacred Grounds and even the entire Profound Sky Continent!

“So, Xuanyuan Wentian should already know everything that Xiao Yun knows! He brought Xiao Yun here now, clearly intending to let everyone know all my secrets through Xiao Yun’s mouth!” Yun Che took a deep breath. Things were developing in the worst direction he had expected.

Now, he could only pray that the matter of the Ancient Profound Ark had not been exposed. Then, if he could use the Star God's Broken Shadow to snatch Xiao Yun at some point, and then escape via the Ancient Profound Ark, there would still be a slight hope of success...

However, Jasmine was still rebuilding her body, so he couldn't leave her more than 20 miles away for too long. Even if he succeeded, he would have to come back here after sending Xiao Yun to a safe place.

“But why would Xuanyuan Wentian do this? My brother-in-law doesn’t have any deep hatred with Mighty Heavenly Sword Region. Could it be because of Xuanyuan Jue?” Xia Yuanba asked in confusion.

“Humph, Xuanyuan Jue’s matter is not worthy of Xuanyuan Wentian’s careful planning to set up such a trap.” Yun Che sneered: “His purpose is to seize my…”

Yun Che hadn't finished speaking when his brows suddenly moved... Wait! The only thing on me that was worth Xuanyuan Wentian's careful planning was the Samsara Mirror. Since he wanted the Samsara Mirror, why didn't he hide it from the other three holy places and secretly attack me or the people around me to force out the Samsara Mirror? Instead, he revealed it in public?

Once the other three holy places also know that I have the Samsara Mirror, it will be impossible for Tianwei Sword Region to "keep it all to itself"!

He was briefly confused, but before he could think too much, he said in a deep voice, “Yuan Ba, this time is different from the past. Once my identity as the Illusory Demon Realm is revealed, not to mention you, even if the entire Royal Sacred Domain wants to come forward, it will be impossible to protect me. They will simply drag you into this, which is completely worthless! And you and I have drawn a clear line. Even if Xuanyuan Wentian intends to target you, you only need to insist that you don’t know. Plus, with the protection of the Royal Sacred Domain, you will definitely not be involved…”

“No!!” Xia Yuanba gritted his teeth.

“If I fall into the hands of Mighty Heavenly Sword Region, who will save me?!” Yun Che scolded.

“Ah?” Xia Yuanba was stunned.

“Don’t worry, this isn’t necessarily a dead end. I am confident that I can escape via the Primordial Profound Ark.” Yun Che said slowly, “If I can’t, you and Xue’er will still be able to rescue me after I fall into Xuanyuan Wentian’s hands! If you and Xue’er are also dragged into this, then there will be no hope at all. Do you understand?”

"..." Xia Yuanba didn't say anything, but kept gnashing his teeth.

"Xuanyuan Sword Master, who is this person?" Sea King Qu Fengyi glanced at Xiao Yun. Although he was young, he had already become a Tyrant Emperor. His talent was definitely not bad. But this was definitely not the reason why Xuanyuan Wentian brought him up.

Moreover, his condition clearly showed that his mind was being controlled.

"This person is only in his twenties this year, but his profound strength has already entered the realm of hegemony. Even in my holy land, he is considered to be one of the top talents. Logically speaking, with such an age and cultivation level, if he is not from our holy land, he should have been famous all over the world long ago. However, all the masters of the profound way present here should be quite unfamiliar with this appearance. Isn't it a bit strange?" Xuanyuan Wentian said with a smile.

“To be qualified to be ‘invited’ out by the Xuanyuan Sword Master himself, it seems that this person must be very ordinary. I’d like to hear more about him.” Tianjun Ye Meixie looked quite interested.

In Mighty Heavenly Sword Region, many people glanced at Yun Che with mysterious sneers on their faces.

Yun Che’s hands clenched tighter and tighter. In fact, now was the best time for him to use the Primordial Profound Ark to escape. However, Xuanyuan Wentian did not make any move to contain him first, and he was obviously not worried that he would escape at all... He also knew Yun Che’s character very well.

Xuanyuan Wentian smiled faintly and said, “This person’s name is Xiao Yun, and he currently lives in a small town called Floating Cloud City in the east of Blue Wind Nation. Does the name Floating Cloud City sound familiar to you? Not many people knew about this small town in the past, but because of a certain person, it has become very famous in recent years. Yes, it is the Floating Cloud City where Palace Master Yun Che was born and grew up.”

“However, the connection between the two is not limited to just Floating Cloud City. Many people know that before Yun Che was sixteen, his surname was not Yun, but Xiao. After realizing that he was only an adopted son and not his biological son, he changed his surname to Yun. And this Xiao Yun, his surname was not Xiao before, but Yun... His name is Yun Xiao! Wow, what a wonderful coincidence.”

Huangji Wuyu glanced at Xiao Yun and said calmly, "What is the identity of this person? Xuanyuan Sword Master should just tell us directly."

Xuanyuan Wentian still had a big smile on his face, and said to Huangji Wuyu, “If that’s the case, then I won’t keep you in suspense. This person is not from the Profound Sky Continent, but from… the Illusory Demon Realm!”

"What!?" As soon as Xuanyuan Wentian said this, the whole audience was in an uproar. Especially the people from the four sacred places, their faces changed.

Xia Yuanba’s muscles were bulging, and his profound energy could go berserk at any time. Yun Che grabbed his arm with one hand and said, “Don’t move!”

"A demon from the Fantasy Demon Realm? How did he come to the Profound Tian Continent? Why didn't we even notice it?" Huangji Wu Yu said with a frown.

Xuanyuan Wentian smiled faintly and said, “Brother Huangji, do you still remember that twenty-six years ago, Yun Qinghong and his wife from the Yun family, the head of the twelve guardian families in the Illusory Demon Realm, used a spatial forbidden device called the ‘Broken Sky Ring’ to quietly sneak into our Tianxuan Continent without our noticing. The purpose of their sneaking in was to rescue the demon Yun Canghai who fell into our hands a hundred years ago and was guarded by our Sword Domain. Fortunately, someone informed us of the whereabouts of Yun Qinghong and his wife, so we were well prepared and set up ambushes in the Sword Domain and around the place where Yun Canghai was blocked. However, the couple were also quite cunning and noticed something. They suddenly withdrew before they went deep into the ambush, and they finally escaped.”

Yun Che said nothing, his face was calm. But almost every cell in his body was filled with coldness and anger... The person who revealed his parents' whereabouts to Mighty Heavenly Sword Region was naturally Ming Wang.

“After that, my Sword Domain and the Divine Palace pursued Yun Qinghong and his wife for three full years, but they eventually escaped back to the Illusory Demon Realm. During these three years, they unexpectedly had a child, and later fled with their newborn baby… However, we never expected that although Yun Qinghong and his wife escaped back to the Illusory Demon Realm, their child remained in the Profound Sky Continent.”

When Xuanyuan Wentian finished speaking, his eyes fell on Yun Che’s face, and at the corner of his mouth, there was a faint smile that seemed harmless.

"You mean, this Xiao Yun is the son of Yun Qinghong and his wife?" Ye Mei asked in a cold voice. The name of Yun Qinghong was rarely known in the Tianxuan Continent, but it was well-known in the Four Sacred Lands. Because he was definitely not an ordinary "demon".

His son, of course, is also an extraordinary "monster".

“No, no, no,” Xuanyuan Wentian shook his head slowly: “If that’s all, then this drama would be too boring. As for what exactly happened, let’s ask him himself.”

Xuanyuan Wentian turned around and faced Xiao Yun: “In order to learn all the truth, I specially invited the famous Ghost Demon Poison Immortal from the Ghost Demon Country. The Ghost Demon Poison Immortal is known as the best poison user in the Profound Sky Continent, and among all poisons, he is particularly good at Gu poison.”

"In other words, the boy's current condition is due to the fact that he has been poisoned by some kind of Gu?" Huangji Wuyu frowned slightly, as if he was very displeased with things like Gu poison.

"That's right. This poison is a mind-hijacking poison. Although the method is not bright, this matter involves the Illusory Demon Realm and is very likely related to the safety of our Tianxuan Continent, so we have to do this." Xuanyuan Wentian looked to the side: "Ghost Evil Poison Fairy, is this soul-stealing poison you put in really safe?"

"Master Sword Master, please rest assured." The withered figure wrapped in black clothes made a gloomy and extremely unpleasant voice: "Under the mindless soul-stealing Gu of this old man, he has lost all his mind, and his heart and soul will not have any defense. No matter what anyone asks him at this moment, he will answer truthfully, and there will be no falsehood or concealment. This old man has been playing with poison for hundreds of years. If such a simple poison can fail, how can I be worthy of the four words of Ghost Demon Poison Immortal, chattering..."

“Very good.” Xuanyuan Wentian nodded slowly: “Then let this sword master personally interrogate you. I believe that what he gets out of his mouth will definitely give you all a great surprise.”

Yun Che: “…………”

Xiao Yun stood there in a daze. Although his eyes were open, they were as dim as those of a dead fish. He looked like a living dead person without a soul.

His current state was exactly the same as if his soul had been captured by Xuan Gang, and he had lost all his soul's defenses.

But the difference is that the Xuan Gang soul-sucking will be self-dispelled after a long time. But if the poison Gu is not removed by the person who put it, it will be like this for the rest of your life, which is extremely vicious!
