"I...oh my god!" Huo Rulie was so shocked that he almost jumped up: "This, this, this...it's really over this time!"
“…” Yan Juehai’s pupils also shrank, but unlike Huo Rulie, what trembled in his pupils was not shock, but fear.
Jun Xilei stood up in the snow, still a little dazed. She could never have dreamed that as the descendant of the Sword Lord, she would be slapped hard in the face by a king of a middle-level star realm in front of the Sword Lord and everyone else.
“You bastard! You are not worthy of calling me by my name!” Mu Xuanyin said coldly.
"you……"
"Puff!" Just as she was about to speak, she spat out another mouthful of thick blood. She fell to her knees all of a sudden, her whole body shivering in an irresistible coldness, and her face gradually turned pale.
How could Mu Xuanyin's slap be so pleasant? If she was not Jun Wuming's disciple, she would have died even if she had 10,000 lives.
Jun Wuming stepped forward and helped Jun Xilei up, and an invisible aura enveloped her whole body. Jun Xilei's face looked much better, and she said in a trembling voice: "Master..."
"Okay, don't talk." Jun Wuming sighed softly, but his voice carried a sense of powerlessness that Jun Xilei had never heard before.
“King of the Xuanyin Realm.” Jun Wuming was not angry, nor was there any surge of Xuan Qi, he was still as calm as before: “Lei’er did have a fault before, now that it has come to this, she has been punished, you have vented your anger, I have nothing to say, let’s say goodbye.”
When Jun Wuming said this, everyone was stunned.
Huo Rulie's chin hit the ground with a bang. He was stunned for a long time before muttering, "Sword Lord's character and self-cultivation... his patience... is too good... right? No! He... he has endured all this?"
Moreover, if we really talk about seniority, Jun Xilei is definitely above Mu Xuanyin. Although it is inappropriate to call her by her first name, she is indeed qualified to do so.
“Sect Master Huo, don’t you have any doubts about one thing?” Yan Juehai’s chest rose and fell, and he said in a very low voice: “Mu Xuanyin was a hundred steps away from Sword Master’s disciple, and Sword Master was only two steps away from his disciple, but Sword Master was unable to block the slap just now!”
“……!!” Huo Rulie was stunned at first, and then his whole body shook violently, and he couldn’t utter a word for a long time.
"Of course you have nothing to say! But it's a little too early to leave."
The initial respect he had for Jun Wuming had now completely turned into coldness and ruthlessness: "Just now, it was just a punishment for her calling me by my name. I didn't take her life, which has left you a lot of room. You should know this."
"But she offended my Ice Phoenix, hurt my disciples, and she hasn't even kneeled down to apologize yet, so she wants to just walk away like this!"
"You..." This time, anyone could clearly see that Jun Wuming's eyebrows were twitching slightly, and a sense of anger and murderous intent was condensing between his brows.
Just when everyone was terrified and thought that the Sword Master would undoubtedly be completely furious this time, they watched helplessly as the anger and murderous intent that had just risen up was suppressed in just a few breaths.
"Alas." Jun Wuming sighed, "After all, it's all your own fault. Lei'er, although it was unintentional, you did offend the Ice Phoenix Sect and hurt the disciples of the Xuanyin Realm King. No wonder the Xuanyin Realm King is so angry. Just follow the Xuanyin Realm King's instructions and apologize."
“Master!?” Jun Xilei raised her head, her face full of incomprehension and disbelief.
Her master was the Sword Monarch, a legendary figure in the universe. She was the descendant of the Sword Monarch, who was famous in the God Realm at a young age and was ranked among the "Four Sons of the East Region". No matter where she was in the God Realm, everyone respected her and looked up to her. The Snow Song Realm was just a middle-level star realm. In her eyes, their arrival in Snow Song was the glory of the Snow Song Realm.
The Snow Song Realm and the Flame God Realm treated the Sword Master with great respect, as if he were a god. She was used to it and was not moved at all. The Snow Song Realm King had crossed half of the Snow Song Realm to pay a visit, which was normal in her opinion. She used her sword energy to stop the Snow Song disciples and let her master and herself go first, which was even more reasonable... How could the Ice Phoenix Divine Sect be worthy of walking in front of them?
I never expected this result.
Jun Wuming doted on her, and no matter where she went to practice, everyone she met was afraid of offending her in the slightest. But today, she was slapped in the face in public with an extremely heavy slap. She had never suffered such humiliation since she was a child.
What made her even more unbelievable was that her master not only did not attack her out of anger, but instead... asked her to kneel down and apologize to the other party.
How could she accept it.
"Go ahead." Facing her trembling eyes, Jun Wuming slowly closed his eyes: "This is the master's order, and it is also an important lesson in your life."
Jun Xilei's state of mind and cognition were already on the verge of collapse, and Jun Wuming's words were undoubtedly the last straw. She was completely stunned there, her pupils were pale, and she could no longer feel even the severe pain on her face.
"Didn't you hear what your master said?" Jun Wuming's voice suddenly became harsh.
"..." His pale pupils finally regained some focus, but their expression was no longer as bright as before, only dim. Jun Xilei had never been so confused, puzzled, and lost, and it was the first time in his life that he truly knew what humiliation was.
The master's orders cannot be disobeyed. Jun Wuming's sighing words echoed in her mind: "This is the master's order, and it is also an important lesson in your life."
An important lesson in life... Is Master tempering my character?
Finally, she felt more supported in her heart. She took a deep breath, walked slowly towards Mu Xuanyin, and then slowly knelt down in front of her. However, her eyes were cold and resolute. Even though she touched the ground with one knee, the dignity of the Tearless Sword Princess and the pride of the Sword Sovereign's descendant were still there.
“Humph! You’re kneeling to the wrong person.” Before Jun Xilei could even open her mouth, Mu Xuanyin spoke coldly, pushing Yun Che forward and saying, “You disrespected my Divine Ice Phoenix Sect, and the slap just now, plus I want to give your master some face, so I won’t pursue the matter. But you also hurt my disciple, so you should apologize to him obediently.”
"..." Jun Xilei stood there again, and the breath that had just tried hard to calm down collapsed again.
Mu Xuanyin was the King of the Snow Song Realm after all, and a supreme god like her master. Although she was humiliated by kneeling in public to apologize, she did not completely lose her dignity.
But the man that Mu Xuanyin pushed in front of her at this moment… was about the same age as her, but his profound strength was only at the first level of the Divine Tribulation Realm. She had seen too many people like this when she traveled with Jun Wuming in various realms. In many star realms, people of this age and this level of cultivation could be considered geniuses, but in her eyes, such people were not even worthy of her looking straight at them.
Now, she was asked to kneel down and apologize to such a person! ?
If she really did that, it would be more than just humiliation. All her dignity and pride would undoubtedly be trampled underfoot and crushed to pieces, becoming a mark of shame that she would never be able to erase or get rid of in her lifetime.
But behind her, Jun Wuming's voice did not come for a long time.
Time seemed to slow down, and every moment seemed to be extremely long. My mind went from chaos to blankness, so blank that I almost lost all ability to think, and I knelt on the ground like a machine:
"I am sorry for my rudeness... Please forgive me..."
After she finished speaking just a few words, her tightly bitten lips were completely bloodless.
“…” Yun Che stood there motionless, unable to respond.
“That’s more like it.” Mu Xuanyin said coldly, but she didn’t even look at her. “Don’t feel that you’ve been wronged. This is all your own fault! Don’t be so naive as to think that being called one of the ‘Four Sons of the Eastern Region’ will allow you to be arrogant and look down on others. In my eyes, you are not even qualified to be my disciple’s bed warmer!”
Jun Xilei: "..."
Yun Che: (⊙﹏⊙)b
"Lei'er, the Sword Master's descendant can also make mistakes, and when a Sword Master makes a mistake, he must admit his mistakes and apologize. Your teacher has wanted to teach you this lesson for a long time, so it's good. Remember this day well. The moment you are completely at peace, you will be one step closer to the 'Sword Heart'... Let's go."
Jun Xilei stood up, without expression or words, like a body that had suddenly lost its soul. She followed Jun Wuming silently, silently disappeared into the wind and snow, and disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Leave...leave?" Huo Rulie said in a daze: "Is this really...the 'Sword Heart' training that the Sword Master gave to his disciples?"
"It's just forcing myself to give myself a way out." Yan Juehai said in a low voice.
“Mu Xuanyin… Could it be that she really…”
"..." Yan Juehai remained silent.
You could hear a pin drop in the entire snowy area.
Everyone was so shocked that it took a long time to calm down.
When Jun Wuming initially backed down, they all felt that the Sword Master was too ambitious or too disdainful to fight back. But Mu Xuanyin kept pressing on, and Jun Wuming continued to back down even after his disciple was slapped hard in public...
They were not fools. No matter how naive they were, they should have noticed something was wrong...but the possibility was too unbelievable. Despite the repeated shocks, they still couldn't believe it and didn't even dare to think about it.
Looking at the stunned Ice Phoenix disciples, Mu Xuanyin frowned and said coldly, “What are you all standing there for? Are you waiting for the Xuan Array to close?”
A shout was like a morning bell, and Mu Huanzhi finally woke up from his dream. He hurriedly got up from the ground and shouted, "All Ice Phoenix disciples, follow me into the formation. In less than twenty breaths, the mysterious formation will close!"
The Ice Phoenix disciples obeyed the order and rushed into the mysterious formation in an orderly and swift manner.
Mu Bingyun came to Mu Xuanyin's side, her eyes were complicated, and she said softly: "I will always take care of Yun Che, don't worry, sister."
Mu Xuanyin turned her eyes and looked at Yun Che, but there was no trace of the coldness and ruthlessness she had before. Instead, there was a kind of sadness that Yun Che could not understand: “It’s my nature. No matter how much I say, it’s actually useless.”
Mu Bingyun: “…”
“Master?” Yun Che was slightly stunned.
"Don't get into trouble. Before you make any risky decisions, remember to think over and over again about what your teacher has told you... In addition, your teacher has only taught you to act recklessly within your own capabilities, but has never taught you to allow yourself to be bullied!"
“…Yes, Master.” Yun Che listened carefully.
"Go ahead."
After all, there were not many Ice Phoenix disciples going to the Eternal Heaven Realm. Soon, all the disciples had entered the formation. Yun Che was also led by Mu Bingyun and stepped into the mysterious formation, disappearing in the white light.
The rotation of the dimensional mysterious array slowed down, and the mysterious light gradually became weaker, which was a sign that it was about to close.
It was impossible for all the thousands of disciples from the three Yanshen sects to enter. Yan Juehai said quickly, "Sect Master Huo, take Poyun ahead."
"Okay!" Without time to think, Huo Rulie grabbed Huo Poyun and went straight into the mysterious formation. His figure disappeared almost at the same time as the last mysterious light.
The dimensional mysterious formation was closed, and Huo Rulie and the remaining disciples of the Flame God elders had to wait another hour.
The mysterious formation fell silent, and only the Flame God disciples remained in the snowy region. However, it was still completely silent because Mu Xuanyin was still by his side.
The Snow Song Realm King who had forced the dignified Sword Master to retreat from Snow Song, simply by existing there, had brought them an indescribably heavy pressure. No one spoke, and even their breathing was cautious.
Including Yan Juehai.
At this time, Mu Xuanyin finally turned around, looked towards the north, and said calmly: "I haven't congratulated Sect Master Yan yet. It seems that if nothing unexpected happens, the Eastern Divine Region will have another upper star realm in three years."
Yan Juehai showed a somewhat stiff smile, raised his arm and said: “Thank you first for the good words of King Yinxue Realm. Even if everything comes true, it is also thanks to the grace of King Yinxue Realm. Yan Juehai dare not forget this, and the Flame God Realm will never forget it either.”
In the past, due to his suppressed cultivation, Yan Juehai would always be polite yet cautious in front of Mu Xuanyin, not daring to anger her.
At this moment, both his words and body movements carried a hint of respect and humility... perhaps subconsciously, without even himself realizing it.
"That's not necessary!"
Mu Xuanyin flicked her snow-white sleeves, and everyone's eyes flashed. Mu Xuanyin's figure disappeared, as if she had merged into the endless flying snow.
Yan Juehai was silent for a long time, still feeling uneasy. He took a deep breath, turned around, looked at everyone, and said slowly: "Not a single word of what happened just now can be leaked... Do you understand?"
The voice was very faint and slow, but it made everyone's heart shudder.
There was no need for Yan Juehai to be alert. Even if the people present were given the courage, they would not dare to say anything. After all, this was a matter concerning the dignity of the Sword Monarch. The Snow Song Realm could afford to offend the Sword Monarch, but the Flame God Realm could not!
