"Brother Yun! Brother Yun...where are you?"

Suddenly, Feng Xue’er’s anxious voice could be heard from far above. Yun Che’s eyes lit up, and he was about to rush over. However, as soon as he exerted a little force, he felt an excruciating pain all over his body. He took a breath and shouted, “Xue’er, I’m here.”

“Brother Yun!”

Feng Xue'er's voice became more anxious, with a hint of surprise. Soon, a beam of fire pierced through the sea water, shining down, and the temperature of the sea water instantly became extremely hot.

“Xue’er.” Yun Che followed the current and naturally floated upwards, gently hugging Feng Xue’er who was throwing herself at him like a fairy in the sea.

“Brother Yun… you’ve been hurt a lot.” Feng Xue’er hugged him gently with her arms, but she couldn’t bear to look at the wounds on his body… Especially on his chest, where there was a sword wound the size of a bowl, and the bloody sternum was clearly visible.

“They were just some insignificant injuries, but Xuanyuan Wentian was completely wiped out.” Yun Che said indifferently.

“Hmm…” Feng Xue’er responded softly. The moment she heard Yun Che’s voice, she knew the result. The joy and pride that filled her heart were beyond words.

“Are Yuanba and the others all okay? Sun Moon Divine Palace and Mighty Heavenly Sword Region must be trying to take advantage of the situation.” Yun Che asked. He was sure that after Xuanyuan Wentian had beaten him under the sea, Sun Moon Divine Palace and Mighty Heavenly Sword Region would take advantage of the fact that the Imperial Sacred Domain and Supreme Ocean Palace were all infected with the devil poison and take advantage of the situation.

He didn't care if everyone in the Royal Holy Land and the Supreme Ocean Palace died, but Xia Yuanba was also among them. Fortunately, Feng Xue'er was there, so he didn't have to worry.

He was also glad that he had brought Xue'er with him under the pressure of the Little Demon Queen, otherwise, he would have been caught between the two.

“Yes.” Feng Xue’er nodded: “I stopped them. And… and I accidentally burned Ye Meixie to death. I didn’t expect that he would suddenly meet my Feng Yan.”

“Huh?” Yun Che was stunned, then he laughed: “How could he know that my Xue’er could burn ten of them in one go right now?”

Yun Che paused, and suddenly his eyes widened as he said, “Xue’er, Xuanyuan asked about him… He wasn’t burned to death, right?”

“No,” Feng Xue’er shook her head: “He was protected at the back, I just… stopped those who wanted to rush over.”

“Huh, that’s good.” Yun Che secretly breathed a sigh of relief: “Xue’er, let’s go up. If it takes too long, Yuanba and the others will get worried.”

“Hmm!” Feng Xue’er smiled lightly and gently took Yun Che with her, floating away on the water. After a long while, they finally emerged from the sea, then soared into the air and landed on the Supreme Ocean Palace, which looked as if it had just encountered a horrific natural disaster.

“Xue’er!” Upon seeing Feng Xue’er coming back, Feng Hengkong and the others, who were worried and apprehensive, went to greet her with great joy. Then, they saw Yun Che, who was covered in wounds, beside her and paused for a moment.

The sea had been calm for a long time, and there was no sound of fighting. Yun Che's appearance here meant...

“Brother-in-law!” Seeing Yun Che, Xia Yuanba was so surprised that he wanted to move his body. The Gu Cang Zhenren beside him said excitedly: “Palace Master Yun, that old thief Xuanyuan Wentian…he…”

Yun Che gently broke away from Feng Xue'er's support, then gently held her small hand and said with a smile: "I am still alive, so of course he is dead. Moreover, his body and soul are destroyed, and not even a trace of the corpse is left."

"Ah..." A lot of exclamations rang out in the sky above the Sea Palace. Except for the people from the Sun Moon Temple and the Supreme Sea Palace, everyone's face showed ecstasy. Even Qu Fengyi, who was dying in Zi Ji's arms, twitched violently.

On the other hand, everyone at Sun Moon Divine Hall and Mighty Heavenly Sword Region was terrified. When they saw Yun Che appear alive, they had already guessed the outcome.

"Great!" Master Ancient Cang sighed deeply, "Palace Master Yun, your action is equivalent to saving the entire Tianxuan Continent! Since the first time I saw you, I knew that you would be famous in the world in the future, but I didn't expect that you would do such a stunning feat."

“Hey… hey hey hey.” Xia Yuanba grinned foolishly, too excited to speak.

“Senior Gu Cang, you are too kind. I have no interest in saving the world or anything like that. I just killed someone who had to be killed.” Yun Che said calmly and walked towards Xia Yuanba.

“Brother-in-law,” Xia Yuanba continued to smile foolishly as he looked at Yun Che: “You defeated Xuanyuan Wentian, so… are you now… the number one person in the world!”

“Haha, he is more than the best in the world.” Master Gu Cang sighed, “Xuanyuan Wentian is so terrifying that he can be said to be unprecedented. Ye Mufeng back then was far inferior to him. Now that Palace Master Yun has defeated Xuanyuan Wentian, he can be said to be the best in the Profound Sky Continent. Palace Master Yun’s current strength is probably enough to make him enter the legendary divine realm. It would be easy for him to destroy our entire Imperial Holy Land.”

The words of Master Gu Cang resounded in everyone's ears, and every word seemed to describe a myth, and every word did not make people feel exaggerated. These powerful people from the holy land, who were originally at the top of the continent, looked at the young man covered in blood and bruises in their sight, and they all felt humbled as if they were looking up at a thousand-foot peak.

And he is just a young man in his twenties.

From now on, the Four Sacred Grounds will no longer be the ceiling of the strength of the Profound Sky Continent. Yun Che alone has surpassed the Four Sacred Grounds... and by a long way. Beside him, there is also Feng Xue'er, who has also surpassed the level of the Four Sacred Grounds and can burn a Saint Master to death in a few breaths.

It was also at this moment that everyone saw an extremely clear fact. Yun Che would be the absolute master of the Profound Sky Continent and even the distant Illusory Demon Realm, and no one could resist him… This master did not come from their Holy Land, but at least, they could be extremely thankful that this master was not Xuanyuan Wentian.

“Palace Master Yun…” Seeing Yun Che approaching, the powerful person from the Royal Holy Domain who was tortured by the devil poison to the point of wanting to die stretched out his hand to Yun Che and begged. Although he was a person from the Holy Domain, facing the person who killed Xuanyuan Wentian, the greatest person in the Tianxuan Eternal World, no matter how humble his begging was, it was no longer shameful.

However, Yun Che did not even glance at them. He went straight to Xia Yuanba and fed him four cold pills at the same time. He then patted his chest to help him quickly refine the medicinal power. At the same time, he also activated the power of the Great Dao Buddha and quickly injected the energy of heaven and earth into his body.

In just a few breaths, Xia Yuanba's originally pale face had turned rosy, and the look of pain quickly eased. Xia Yuanba opened his mouth, raised his hand and pushed Yun Che's arm away: "Brother-in-law, I'm fine. You are so badly injured... Don't worry about me for now."

"It's okay. This injury is nothing to me." Yun Che said very easily. If someone else had the same injury as him, they would lose half their life if not die. But for him, he didn't need to do anything and would recover in just a few days.

When Yun Che removed his hand from Xia Yuanba’s chest, Xia Yuanba’s breathing had even calmed down. He moved his arms, and he, who was originally extremely weak, actually stood up quite steadily, leaving the surrounding Saint Domain powerhouses dumbfounded.

“Palace Master Yun…” Seeing that Yun Che was finally free, Zi Ji moved his body and pleaded in a very humble manner, “I know… that Ocean Palace and Holy Domain have wronged you twice in a row, but… we all know our mistakes, and Palace Master Yun must also know that we are definitely not as filthy as Sun Moon Divine Palace and Mighty Heavenly Sword Region. Please… please, Palace Master Yun, be kind and have a magnanimous hand… and help us…”

Yun Che turned around and stared at Zi Ji steadily, his eyes without any emotion: “Except for the ‘great favor’ you gave me twice that almost killed me, your Ocean Palace has nothing to do with me anymore. If I could see your Ocean Palace wiped out, I would be so happy! I still remember clearly the ugly faces you made when you wanted to kill me for your own selfish desires, but now you want me to save you? I, Yun Che, am not that mean!”

"..." Zi Ji's face was painful and sad, but those who were poisoned were all core figures of the Sea Palace. If they all died, it would not only be their lives that would be lost, but also the Sea Palace's ten thousand-year foundation. He could only continue to beg: "Palace Master Yun, there is always a little friendship between you and me, even if it is for..."

“Friendship?” Yun Che’s face darkened slightly, and he asked sternly, “Since we do have a slight friendship, then when I was forced to my death at the Devil Sword Conference that day, did you say even one word for me!?”

“……” Zi Ji opened his mouth and was completely speechless.

“Among the four of you, Senior Gu Cang was the only one who spoke up for me!” Yun Che said in a deep voice, “I, Yun Che, bear grudges very well, and I will remember favors even more. And how could we have any friendship before? It has always been an equal transaction! I have never owed you anything I bought from the Black Moon Merchant Guild, and I also provided you with conditions that satisfied you when I entered the Moon Slaughter Devil Cave. Even the fact that you revealed the matter about me, Chu Yuechan, was just to use me to disgust Mighty Heavenly Sword Region!”

The three words "Chu Yuechan" severely stimulated Ling Yuefeng and Xuanyuan Yufeng who were hiding in the distance. They had completely lost their backers and were already terrified. Even Xuanyuan Jue who was protecting them was sweating all over and dared not breathe.

“…” Zi Ji was speechless. His body was twitching in pain and sweat was almost drained out. However, he was the only one who could talk to Yun Che now. In order to protect the Supreme Ocean Palace, he could not retreat no matter what.

"Since this is a deal... Palace Master Yun has made deals with me many times, so you should believe that I am not a person who breaks my promise. As long as... as long as Palace Master Yun can detoxify our Ocean Palace, everyone in our Supreme Ocean Palace... will obey Palace Master Yun's orders in the future. We will never disobey any order from Palace Master Yun."

Zi Ji's words made the Ocean Palace warriors in the back raise their heads at once, but then they slowly lowered their heads again... In fact, with Yun Che's current strength, there was no need for any "dispatch".

“Heh,” Yun Che said with a faint smile, “You were so strong before that you would rather die than surrender to Xuanyuan Wentian, but now you want to take the initiative to bow down to me?”

“No…How can Xuanyuan Wentian be compared with Palace Master Yun?” Zi Ji said with all his sincerity: “What I said is absolutely true. As long as…”

“No need to say more.” Yun Che narrowed his eyes slightly: “Speaking of trade, Mr. Zi did remind me. Indeed, living people are more useful than dead people after all. I have no interest in your Ocean Palace, but I am quite interested in the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce.”

“Okay, then I’ll make a deal with you.” Yun Che folded his hands in front of his chest: “You can ask me to detoxify you, but, starting this year, 30% of the Black Moon Merchant Guild’s annual harvest must be offered to the Blue Wind Imperial Family!”

“Ah…” Zi Ji raised his head suddenly and said in surprise: “Three…three percent!?”
