Eastern Divine Region, Snow Song Realm.
The King of the Flame God Realm, Huo Poyun, was dressed in red, and his body looked like it was burning with flames when he moved. Engraved on his body were the three kinds of flame divine patterns: Golden Crow, Vermillion Bird, and Phoenix.
Although he was born in the Jinwu Sect, he printed the three kinds of flame divine patterns simultaneously without favoring one over the other.
After three thousand years of living in the Eternal Heaven Realm, and becoming the first true Realm King in the history of the Flame God Realm, Huo Poyun is no longer the young man who was immature, persistent, and easily confused. His eyes are calm, but the occasional flash of flames contains a powerful domineering power that makes people's hearts palpitate.
There was an endless field of snow beneath his feet, but as the King of the Flame God Realm took steps, not a single bit of the snow melted.
Over the years, he has been deeply involved in the God Burial Fire Prison training, and his control over fire has reached an even higher level.
Arriving at the Ice Phoenix Realm, Huo Poyun smiled warmly at the welcoming female Ice Phoenix disciple: "Please inform the King of the Ice Cloud Realm that the Flame God Huo Poyun is here to visit."
The Flame God Realm was now an upper star realm, and the Snow Song Realm’s position in the middle star realm had plummeted since Mu Xuanyin’s death.
For a king of a higher realm to come personally to visit a middle star realm is a humiliation for the former and a great honor for the latter.
However, the relationship between Yin Xue and the Flame God was delicate after all. As for the Flame God Realm King's condescending visit, everyone in the Ice Phoenix Divine Sect was already accustomed to it.
The female Ice Phoenix disciple who was welcoming the guests did not report it, but bowed and said, "The sect master has been in seclusion recently, so it is inconvenient for him to see guests. But he has been told that if the King of the Flame God Realm comes to visit, he can do as he pleases."
Huo Poyun nodded: "In that case, I won't be polite... I wonder if Fairy Feixue is in the sect?"
Huo Poyun came alone, without bringing anyone with him. The female Ice Phoenix disciple opposite him showed no surprise at his question, and said, "Senior Sister Feixue is currently in the 36th Palace of Ice Phoenix. If the King of the Flame God Realm is interested, he can go there on his own."
It is rare in the world for an ordinary middle-level female sect disciple to be so "neglectful" to a high-level star king.
"Ice Phoenix Palace?" Huo Poyun looked surprised.
The Ice Phoenix Palace is at a very high level in the Ice Phoenix Sect, but Mu Feixue is a direct disciple of the Realm King, so how could she be in the Ice Phoenix Palace?
The female Ice Phoenix disciple said, "The 36th Ice Phoenix Palace is where Senior Brother Yun Che once lived. Therefore, Senior Sister Feixue often goes there to meditate."
Huo Poyun's expression froze for a moment, then he smiled gently: "I see, please lead the way."
Stepping into the 36th Palace of Ice Phoenix, the palace built of ice is icy and silent, and the snow branches and ice flowers of various shapes are as gorgeous as shining stars, making people feel as if they are in an eternal fantasy world of ice and snow.
Huo Poyun sensed Mu Feixue's breath at the first moment, but he did not disturb her and took slow steps on the icy ground.
Suddenly... he stopped and his eyes were fixed on the icy branches in front of him that were as white as snow.
Yun Che
Yun Che
Yun Che
…
On every branch of ice and snow, Yun Che’s name was written, some deep, some shallow, some large, some small.
It seemed to be carved by a woman's fingernails. Every word was so delicate and revealed... a trace of heartbreaking grief.
Huo Poyun clenched his hands unconsciously, his body swayed slightly, and he staggered backwards without any strength.
In his mind, the scene of him and Yun Che “breaking up” after Yun Che “came back from the dead” and returned to the Snow Song Realm appeared...
"But I heard with my own ears... two Ice Phoenix disciples talking about how your master had already given her to you as a dual cultivation partner! I heard that with my own ears! I heard it with my own ears! But you didn't say a word to me! You only gave me false consolation. You were basically... you were laughing at me!"
After his venting roar, Yun Che responded indifferently.
"Listen, after completing the apprenticeship ceremony, Master did designate Feixue as my dual cultivation partner, and announced it in public. But... after that, I refused, and Master agreed."
"Because of that incident, Master announced it in public. If I had announced the fact that she was rejected by me, it would undoubtedly make Feixue a laughing stock, so I didn't make it public. Feixue and I have never been a dual cultivation partner. The time I spent with her in the Snow Song Realm over the years combined is less than the time I spent speaking those few words to Huanyancheng."
"Forget it. Believe it or not, it's up to you. It doesn't matter to me. Also, this is the last time I call you Brother Poyun."
"Master Huo...see you later."
Huo Poyun clearly remembered that his words were extremely calm, without the slightest excitement or anger, and even indifference was almost imperceptible.
Only when the four words "Young Master Huo" fell, a hint of disappointment flashed across his eyes before he turned and left.
Huo Poyun exhaled slowly. His brief loss of consciousness had been dispelled. The confusion in his pupils disappeared, returning to normal... Because he was now the King of the Flame God Realm, how could he lose his composure so easily?
Staring at the two words "Yun Che" that filled his vision, his thoughts drifted back to the past... the day when the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor passed away and Yun Che's fate changed drastically...
————
Huo Poyun was flying in the sky alone. Today was the day when the Heaven Smiting Demon Emperor would pass away. With the cultivation level of a fifth-level God Lord, he was naturally qualified to see him off.
However, he did not feel excited about witnessing history or the end of the evil, but was only filled with confusion.
At his current level, he deeply knew that all of this was caused by Yun Che. Just as the Emperor of Eternal Sky said, he was the well-deserved Son of God who saved the world.
but……
His body gradually slowed down until it stopped. He was stunned for a long time, then suddenly turned around and returned to the Flame God Realm.
"If we send the Demon Emperor away, we will witness a history that will never be repeated. Why did Master Huo Shao turn back?"
A voice came from afar, Huo Poyun stopped again and smiled faintly: "Then why did Brother Luo turn his body?"
A figure quickly approached from afar, dressed in white, with an extraordinary temperament, it was Luo Changsheng.
"I won't hide the reason from Master Huo," Luo Changsheng said with a smile, "It's because I don't want to see a certain person. Let me guess, Master Huo... is it the same reason?"
Huo Poyun: “…”
"Since we are so destined to meet, how about entering my Holy Eaves Realm and taking a look?" Luo Changsheng invited.
"Okay." Huo Poyun did not refuse: "During this period of time, I have also been thinking about visiting your master. After all, your master's injury... in the final analysis, was caused by me."
Yun Che returned alive. After overhearing his recognition and conversation with Mu Feixue, he lost control of his jealousy. In a state of confusion, he revealed the news of Yun Che's return alive to Luo Changsheng... This led Luo Guxie, who hated Yun Che so much, to go directly to the Snow Song Realm.
In the end, Mu Xuanyin cut off his arm.
The moment Huo Poyun informed Luo Changsheng of the news, he regretted it... But what had happened was irreversible. What happened next was beyond his control and beyond his ability to predict.
Luo Changsheng shook his head: "Master has suffered a great setback this time and is in a very bad mood. It is better not to get close to him. When Master is in a good mood, I will convey Master Huo's intentions."
"As for the apology..." Luo Changsheng shook his head and sighed: "This is definitely not your fault. On the contrary, I owe you a big favor. If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely repay you."
"No need." Huo Poyun responded indifferently, his expression gloomy.
Luo Changsheng took a deep look at Huo Poyun and suddenly said, "Speaking of which, I have always been very curious. Before entering the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm, Sect Master Huo had a close relationship with Yun Che, and everyone saw it. When he heard the news of Yun Che's death, he was also extremely sad. Why do you hate him now?"
"Given Master Huo's character, this is definitely not without reason. I wonder if I have the honor to listen?"
"There's no reason." Huo Poyun said, "I'm just being cautious, that's all."
"Is it because of an ice fairy named Mu Feixue?" Luo Changsheng smiled.
Huo Poyun's figure suddenly stopped.
"The hatred of having your love stolen is piercing and heart-wrenching." Luo Changsheng sighed, "Especially when someone like Master Huo is like this..."
"No need to say more." Huo Poyun's breathing was obviously rapid, and it took him a while to suppress it: "This matter is indeed my petty intention, please... don't mention it again."
"I spoke out of turn." Luo Changsheng said, and never mentioned the matter again.
The two of them moved very slowly, approaching the Shengyu Realm.
At this moment, Luo Changsheng, who was talking eloquently, suddenly stopped talking and his expression suddenly changed. Instead of relaxing, his expression became even more shocked.
"What happened?" Huo Poyun asked with a frown.
"Yun Che... is a demon!" Luo Changsheng muttered.
"What!?" Huo Poyun turned around suddenly.
Luo Changsheng waved his hand and passed the message he had just received to Huo Poyun.
The Devil God tried to enter... The Devil Emperor forced his way back... The Evil Infant suddenly appeared to block the crimson cracks... The Eternal Heaven God Emperor beat the Evil Infant out of the chaos... Everything was safe, all troubles were gone, but Yun Che showed dark devil energy and spoke words of treason.
This shocking change that was beyond imagination made Huo Poyun panic. Suddenly he heard Luo Changsheng say, "It's bad... The Moon God Emperor wanted to execute Yun Che himself, but at the last moment, the Brahma Emperor Goddess sent him away with the Void Illusion Stone!"
"Now, the Emperor of the Gods has issued an order to search the entire God Realm..."
Luo Changsheng's voice stopped abruptly, and he and Huo Poyun stared straight ahead.
There, a figure was floating motionlessly.
There was a faint dark mist floating around his body.
“Yun Che!” Huo Poyun and Luo Changsheng exclaimed at the same time.
The person who appeared in their sight was Yun Che who was sent out by the Void Illusion Stone.
When Qianye Ying'er threw out the Void Illusion Stone, her slave seal was about to collapse. With her will in chaos, the power of the Void Illusion Stone went somewhat out of control, and while sending Yun Che away, it also knocked him unconscious.
"Ha, hahahaha!" Luo Changsheng was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud: "This is truly... a God-given opportunity."
He was about to lunge out with laughter, but a hand suddenly stopped him: "Wait."
Huo Poyun stared at the unconscious Yun Che and said in a deep voice: “Don’t be careless.”
As he spoke, the profound energy in his body circulated, and the Golden Crow in his hand ignited: "Yun Che has many secrets and trump cards. Countless death situations cannot kill him. You must..."
Before he finished speaking, his flaming palm slammed heavily onto Luo Changsheng's waist and ribs.
In his excitement, Luo Changsheng focused all his attention on Yun Che. He never dreamed that Huo Poyun, who had the same hatred towards Yun Che as himself, would actually attack him. He was hit by the attack.
At such a close distance, and caught off guard, Luo Changsheng instantly sprayed blood mist and flew dozens of miles away. Huo Poyun had already pounced on Yun Che's side, grabbed Yun Che, and rushed forward with all his profound strength.
Luo Changsheng put his hand on his chest, his eyes were sinister, and he chased after him without caring about his injuries.
“Huo Poyun!” A sinister roar came from behind Huo Poyun: “The current Yun Che is no longer the Son of God who saves the world, but a heretic that everyone wants to get rid of! By doing this… are you planning to drag the entire Flame God Realm down with you?”
"..."Blood seeped out from Huo Poyun's teeth. He said nothing, and his pace did not slow down at all.
Even though Luo Changsheng was injured, his speed was not comparable to Huo Poyun's. The distance between the two gradually shortened, and Luo Changsheng's voice came again, even lower than before: "I haven't informed anyone about this matter yet. Considering our friendship, I will give you one last chance, throw Yun Che to me... Otherwise, I'm afraid that the Flame God Realm will not be enough to bury you with me!"
Huo Poyun's pupils were in confusion, but he remained silent and his speed did not slow down at all.
At this moment, his pupils suddenly shrank.
Because two extremely powerful auras suddenly appeared in front of him...any one of them was stronger than him.
And the owner of the breath appeared in sight in the next breath.
Jun Xilei who entered the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm with him!
And...her master, Sword Master Jun Wuming.
