The two walked out side by side. Huo Poyun was in a state of great emotion. He looked at Yun Che deeply and sighed, “Brother Yun, I really don’t know how to thank you… There really are such things as miracles in this world.”
Although he was extremely surprised and curious, he did not ask a single question about how Yun Che saved Huo Ye.
Yun Che shook his head and said, “Master has been very kind to me, but I have never been able to repay him in any way. This should be considered the first thing I have done for Master.”
"This is the first time I've seen Master like this. If I tell anyone, I'm afraid no one will believe it." Huo Poyun laughed, "Master has always been a man who will avenge his enemies and repay his kindness. However, Brother Yun's kindness this time is too great. I guess Master will have a headache for a long time after he calms down, hahahaha."
Yun Che also laughed: "If that's the case, I won't refuse."
"I believe that after today, I will definitely see a completely different Master." Huo Poyun's eyes were filled with joy: "Although I have only been with Master for more than ten years, he... has lived such a hard and tiring life these years. He knows in his heart that Senior Brother Huo Ye was in pain every moment of his life, but he cannot accept Senior Brother Huo Ye's death, and he repeatedly forced him to live. This kind of mental torture is probably difficult for anyone to empathize with."
Yun Che: “…”
"Over the years, Master has often traveled around the various star realms, personally looking for things to prolong Brother Huoye's life, and he spared no expense to do so. He even...even went against morality and secretly purchased Wood Spirit Pearls from the [Hei Ya Realm] hundreds of times over the past thousand years..."
“Wood Spirit Pearl!?” Yun Che’s footsteps suddenly stopped.
Huo Poyun naturally didn’t know why Yun Che would react like this, so he smiled bitterly and said, “Master is also sincere. If it weren’t for Senior Brother Huo Ye, he would never do such a thing that goes against morality. He would only hate it.”
“…” Yun Che nodded: “The Fire Sect Master’s love for his son is truly moving.”
“By the way, what kind of place is ‘Black Ya Realm’?” Yun Che asked seemingly casually.
"That's a lower star realm." Huo Poyun answered naturally: "I heard from Master that there are many secret underground black markets there. Master bought the Wood Spirit Pearl from the black market. These underground black markets are extremely secretive and will never receive anyone they don't trust. Master happened to have the sound transmission mark of one of the black market owners, so he was able to buy the Wood Spirit Pearl."
"In order to facilitate going to the Black Ya Realm, Master also spent a lot of money to open up a space array connecting to the Black Ya Realm. It was also well-intentioned." Huo Poyun sighed lightly, and then whispered: "Brother Yun, don't tell these things... It will damage Master's reputation."
“Of course.” Yun Che nodded, and at the same time firmly memorized the name “Hei Ya Realm”.
While the two were talking, two flames suddenly appeared in the sky ahead, and then approached them in an instant. Seeing Yun Che and Huo Poyun, they stopped and shouted from afar: “Poyun!”
Seeing the two middle-aged men, Huo Poyun hurried forward and saluted respectfully: "Eighth Elder, Seventeenth Elder."
Elder? Yun Che was slightly shocked.
Judging from the way the two were dressed, they were from the Jinwu Sect... and they were actually elders.
The fire of the Eighth Elder burned like embers, and the fire of the Seventeenth Elder burned to the sky.
"Two elders, aren't you stationed at the Fire Prison? Has something important happened?" Huo Poyun asked cautiously.
“Ah!” The Eighth Elder, Huo Rujin, sighed heavily, “We just learned that the Young Master was suddenly in critical condition a few hours ago, so we rushed here quickly. We didn’t know… Hmm?” He suddenly saw Yun Che’s attire, his brows sank sharply, and he asked in a stern voice, “Are you from the Snow Song Realm?”
The voice was sinister and full of anger. Not only the Eighth Elder was furious, but the Seventeenth Elder Huo Rankong's expression also changed suddenly. Huo Poyun was startled and said quickly, "Two elders, this is Yun Che from the Divine Ice Phoenix Sect, the direct disciple of the Snow Song Realm King."
"Huh! It's this brat!" Huo Rujin's brows drooped completely and his face looked unfriendly.
“He is the only one who can be brought here by Mu Xuanyin with such weak profound strength.” Huo Rankong also snorted coldly.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Huo Poyun was very clear about why they were so unkind to Yun Che. He quickly said, “Two elders, rest assured. Senior Brother Huo Ye is fine for the time being. Master is taking care of him personally. If you have no other instructions, Huo Poyun will take his leave first.”
“Wait!” Huo Rujin stopped him, “Poyun, why are you with this kid? And you seem to be protecting him. Humph, he’s a disciple of the Ice Phoenix Sect, and also a disciple of Mu Xuanyin. You can just throw him anywhere. He’s not worthy of you to entertain him personally.”
Huo Poyun's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly reached out and pulled Yun Che down, signaling him not to get angry, and said in a hurry: "This is the order of our master. And Brother Yun and I also..."
"That's enough!" Huo Rankong frowned, "The Sect Master would never give such an order! Poyun, you are still young and simple-minded, so it's normal for you to get along with others. But this kid... do you know who made the young master like this today? How many disciples of our Jinwu Sect did his master kill thousands of years ago!"
“Senior Brother Huo Ye has already…” Huo Poyun quickly stopped talking as he had just spoken, because he had just promised to keep this a secret for Yun Che, so he could only force himself to change his words and say, “The grudges from those years have nothing to do with Brother Yun.”
“What do you mean ‘nothing to do with you’? He is Mu Xuanyin’s direct disciple, and he will inherit Mu Xuanyin’s legacy in the future! Anyone who has anything to do with that woman is our Jinwu Sect’s mortal enemy!” Huo Rujin said harshly, his fiery eyes coldly looking at Yun Che: “Humph! Mu Xuanyin is here, but she actually has the guts to bring her direct disciple with her. Is she so confident that we dare not destroy her successor who she has received with great difficulty… or, she doesn’t take your life seriously at all.”
“Eighth Elder!!” Huo Poyun was shocked and quickly stood in front of Yun Che.
Yun Che had not been disturbed before. He was not surprised that the Golden Crow Sect resented the Ice Phoenix Sect. He could even understand it. But he should not push it too far. After all, he was a guest now. Huo Rujin’s sarcastic words and gaze made him angry. His brows sank instantly and he said in a cold voice, “Did you two make a mistake? It’s not my master and I who are here today. It’s you, the Flame God Realm, who invited us here.”
“It was the two great sect masters who personally drove the Phoenix Wing Mysterious Boat to the Snow Song Realm to invite us here!”
“Brother Yun… Brother Yun!” When Yun Che said this, Huo Poyun was even more shocked.
“Oh?” Yun Che’s words caused the expressions of the two men to change at the same time. Huo Rujin narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered, “Good, really good. You are indeed a disciple of Mu Xuanyin. You are really capable. You even have the guts to talk back. It’s true that the Suzaku Sect and the Phoenix Sect invited you, but my Jinwu Sect did not invite anyone from your Snow Song Realm! We just didn’t object because we were faced with a big event and we thought that your master Mu Xuanyin could be used! Otherwise, with my Jinwu Sect here, let alone a little kid like you from the Snow Song Realm, even Mu Xuanyin would never be able to step into my Flame God Realm again.”
“Use?” Yun Che sneered in response without giving in: “The three strongest sect masters in your Flame God Realm don’t dare to speak nonsense in front of my master, so what are you two? I’m afraid that if you stand in front of my master, my master won’t even bother to look at you... How can you be qualified to be used by my master?”
“Brother Yun!!” Huo Poyun’s heart nearly jumped out of his chest in shock. He stretched out his hand like lightning and pulled Yun Che over, saying hastily, “I will not disturb the two elders from visiting Senior Brother Huo Ye. Poyun is leaving.”
Before Huo Poyun could forcefully leave, a heavy voice had already enveloped him. Huo Rankong said slowly, "It would be fine if this kid from the Ice Phoenix Divine Sect was honest and well-behaved, but he dared to be so arrogant and domineering in my Flame God Realm. Poyun, according to the rules of our Flame God Realm, how should he be dealt with for being disrespectful to the elders?"
Huo Poyun was about to speak when he heard Yun Che burst into laughter, his laughter full of mockery: “Brother Poyun, although Sect Master Yan has a grudge against my master, he has never resented me as much. But these two people, full of righteous indignation, are bullying a junior who has nothing to do with them in the posture of an elder. It is simply despicable! These people who rely on bullying juniors to get away with it, I’m afraid they won’t dare to even fart in front of my master.”
"And this kind of person is actually the elder of your Jinwu Sect. He is simply a disgrace to the sect!!"
Once Yun Che got really angry, he would show no mercy when scolding people.
"presumptuous!!"
Huo Rujin and Huo Rantian, elders of the Golden Crow Sect, had never been treated like this before. They had never thought that a junior could be so bold. They were both furious. Huo Rujin's palms were flaming with flames, and he said angrily, "You little brat, you are so brave! Ha... We are afraid of Mu Xuanyin? What a joke! I only regret that I have never had the chance to meet her. Otherwise, I would have made her cry for her parents under the Golden Crow flames!"
"Two elders...ah!?" Huo Poyun tried desperately to stop the situation from getting worse, and was even ready to send a message to Huo Rulie. As soon as he opened his mouth, his mouth suddenly opened wide, his pupils contracted, and he stood there in a daze, as if he was frightened silly.
Huo Poyun's expression suddenly changed. Huo Rujin and Huo Rankong both noticed it. They frowned at the same time, then turned around subconsciously... The moment their eyes turned, they met with eyes that seemed to come from the abyss of the icy prison.
Mu Xuanyin was dressed in snow-white clothes, like a goddess of ice and snow descended from the sky. She stood on the dry ground with an enchanting grace and icy coldness... She was less than ten steps away from the backs of Huo Rujin and Huo Rankong.
Her eyes were beautiful and calm, yet extremely cold. Her gaze was like thorns from an icy abyss, piercing into the eyes of the two men and then deeply into their souls.
Huo Rujin and Huo Rankong's whole bodies suddenly froze, as if they had suddenly fallen from under the scorching sun into the bottom of hell. Their bodies trembled in the cold and their souls shook wildly. Gradually, they could not even feel the existence of their bodies and souls. Only the extreme fear that they had never experienced in their lives spread madly to every corner of their consciousness.
“Ah…ah…” Huo Rujin opened his mouth wide and let out moans that were totally uncontrollable. His pupils had dilated to dozens of times their usual size, nearly exploding. There was no trace of his previous dominance and arrogance on his face anymore, and every muscle and every texture was shaking violently in fear.
Yun Che’s eyelids and heart were beating wildly… Damn it! Someone’s going to die!
“Say what you just said again.” Mu Xuanyin spoke slowly. Her calm and ruthless words sounded like the judgment of the god of death to them.
