Yun Che and Mu Feixue were both stunned. Mu Feixue glanced at Yun Che and replied, “Yes, Master.”
“Brother Yun, please.” Mu Feixue stood up and took a few steps back.
Yun Che stood there for a few breaths with a complicated look in his eyes, and then he finally walked into the temple.
"..."Mu Feixue turned around and left silently.
The temple was filled with an extremely cold atmosphere, familiar yet somewhat distant. Upon entering the temple, Yun Che saw Mu Xuanyin’s figure at a glance… Although it was just her back, it seemed like the most gorgeous and coldest ice in the world, absolutely beautiful and majestic. Even though Yun Che was the closest man to her in the world, he still didn’t dare to look directly at her.
Mu Xuanyin had no reaction to his entry and approach.
Yun Che stopped and knelt down: "Disciple Yun Che, I pay my respects to Master."
As soon as he entered the temple area, Yun Che removed all his disguises and immediately released his aura. He was sure that Mu Xuanyin had known of his return the moment he stepped into this place.
"Master?"
Mu Xuanyin slowly turned around, and a beautiful face carved from ice jade appeared in Yun Che’s sight: “Who is your master!?”
Yun Che stood there in a daze, his heart chilled.
On his body, there was a soul crystal planted by Mu Xuanyin herself. Therefore, Mu Xuanyin would be the first person to know about his death. Others would only hear about his death, but she could clearly see the process and the scene before his death.
Therefore, in Yun Che's opinion, she should be the one who was most certain that he was dead, and would be the most surprised when he suddenly came back alive.
He thought of many different reactions that Mu Xuanyin would have when she saw him, but... she was not surprised, excited, or unbelievable. Her eyes and snowy face were filled with cold and ruthless power, and the words she spoke were piercing and chilling.
“Master, I…”
"Shut up!"
Yun Che had just spoken when a cold rebuke stopped him from saying anything. Her cold and ruthless eyes were now filled with anger that could make all living things tremble: "My current direct disciple is Fei Xue. As for you... the stupidest decision I've made in my life is having a disciple as stupid as you!"
“…” Yun Che stared blankly, unable to speak.
“Three years ago, in the Star God Realm, one man slaughtered all the Star Guards and even killed a Star God Elder. How impressive.” Mu Xuanyin’s voice grew colder, and every word pierced the heart. “For the sake of the Heavenly Killing Star God, knowing that he would die and knowing that there was no way he could save her, he still went to the Star God Realm alone, using his death to gain power to accompany you in your burial. How impressive and how touching.”
“Oh! You died a joyful and tragic death, a death of deep love, worthy of your Heavenly Killing Star God! But… do you know how many people have devoted a lot of effort to keep you alive, taking great risks, and even nearly sacrificed the future of the entire star realm, so that you have the opportunity to survive in the Dragon God Realm, and you knew that you would die but still wanted to die… Can you live up to them!? Can you live up to yourself!? Can you live up to your wife, concubines and family members who are waiting for you to return to the lower realm!”
"Who else can you be worthy of except the Heavenly Killing Star God!"
Mu Xuanyin became angrier as she spoke, and her chest heaved violently as she finished her last sentence.
Under her cold anger, even the flying snow outside the temple stopped swaying.
“…” Yun Che’s lips trembled, and after a long while he managed to speak out with difficulty: “Master, I…”
“Don’t call me Master!” Mu Xuanyin once again froze his words: “I accepted you as my disciple, allowed you to use the Netherfrost Heavenly Lake, and gave you the best resources in the entire world. In order to help you achieve the Divine Tribulation Realm as quickly as possible, I gave up everything in the sect and personally took care of you in cultivation, day and night… Is this your repayment to me and to the Snow Song Realm!?”
"I, Mu Xuanyin, don't have a disciple as stupid as you!"
She turned around, and her huge breasts rose and fell violently, forming a sad and beautiful arc.
This was the first time Yun Che saw Mu Xuanyin so angry… Even when he made a big mistake and escaped and was caught by her, she had not been so angry.
“Master… Respected…” Yun Che lowered his head and said softly, “You have been so kind to me. You are the best person in the world to me. Yet, I have repeatedly disappointed you. I know I am ashamed…”
“That’s enough!” Mu Xuanyin said coldly with her back to him, “Why did you come back? Who told you to come back?!”
These words made Yun Che stunned for several breaths.
What she asked was not why you were still alive, but... why did you come back?
It was as if...she had known that I was still alive?
"Master, have you already..."
“I asked you why you came back! Give me a straight answer!” Mu Xuanyin didn’t even give him a chance to ask.
The surprise of seeing his master again had turned into panic because of her coldness and anger. He hesitated for a moment, then said everything: "For the Crimson Tribulation."
“Scarlet Calamity? Explain clearly!” Yun Che’s answer caused Mu Xuanyin’s icy eyebrows to twitch.
Yun Che had no reason to hide anything from Mu Xuanyin, so he said honestly, “There is an Ice Phoenix spirit hidden at the bottom of the Heavenly Dark Frost Lake. Master must have known about this a long time ago.”
Mu Xuanyin: “…”
"I have met her twice. She knows my past and the power I possess. She also noticed the existence of the scarlet tear mark on the Chaos Wall a long time ago, and seemed to know the reason for its existence and the disaster it hides. She emphasized to me that the power in me is the only hope to quell this disaster."
"This includes that while I inherit the power of the Heretic God, I will also shoulder the mission of calming this disaster."
Mu Xuanyin: “…”
“Every word of what my disciple said is true.” Yun Che knew that what he said was too absurd. The so-called “hope” and “mission” were even more illusory. Anyone who heard them would basically not believe them, and would even find them ridiculous.
"I have been in the lower realm for the past few years. Because the Blue Pole Star where I was born is close to the east of Chaos and close to the Crimson Rift, disasters have occurred frequently in recent years and are becoming increasingly severe, gradually reaching a point where they are out of control."
"The Eastern Divine Region must have experienced various similar disasters. If things continue like this, they will become more serious day by day. Therefore, I will return to the Divine Realm and prepare to enter the Heavenly Netherfrost Lake to meet the Ice Phoenix Spirit. She may be able to tell me how to deal with this disaster."
After a brief silence, Mu Xuanyin finally turned around and looked at him coldly: "Is this why you came back?"
“…Because, disciple has always missed Master.” Yun Che lowered his head, not daring to meet her overly cold gaze.
“…” Mu Xuanyin narrowed her icy eyes and spoke in a slightly more relaxed tone: “So, you still consider me your master?”
“Yes!” Yun Che nodded vigorously immediately: “Always.”
“Okay, very good.” She nodded slightly, and her voice suddenly turned cold again: “If you still consider me your master, then now… immediately… go back to your lower realm, and never set foot in the divine realm again!”
Yun Che raised his head: “Master, I…”
“To quell the Crimson Calamity? Your mission?” Mu Xuanyin asked coldly, “Don’t you find that ridiculous?”
"The cracks on the wall of chaos do hide unknown disasters. Once they erupt, the Eastern Divine Region will most likely face a catastrophe. To quell them is the mission of everyone in the Eastern Divine Region, the entire God Realm, and all living beings in the entire Chaos. When did it become your mission alone!?"
"And with your experience, status, and abilities, are you worthy of such a mission?"
Yun Che's lips were half open, and he was speechless.
“Let me tell you something.” Mu Xuanyin looked at him. “In order to deal with the Crimson Tribulation, the Eternal Heaven Realm has combined the power of all the king realms and upper star realms in the Eastern Divine Region to create a dimensional formation that connects nearly half of the Primal Chaos. It can go directly from the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm to the Eastern Pole of the Primal Chaos. It was just completed ten days ago.”
Yun Che was shocked… He opened up a dimensional formation that covered nearly half of Primal Chaos?
Could such a thing really exist!?
“In addition, in less than a month, the [Eternal Heaven Conference] will be held. This Eternal Heaven Conference is to deal with the Scarlet Calamity, and those who are qualified to participate in this event…” Mu Xuanyin paused: “Only the Divine Lord!”
Yun Che: “…”
"Even a God Lord is not qualified to deal with this kind of disaster. What can you do? What you just said is simply a huge joke!"
“Someone will deal with the Crimson Calamity. Not only the Lord of the Eastern Divine Realm, but also the strong men from other divine realms will be involved. But it is definitely not your turn to worry about it! So, before others know that you are still alive, get out of here and return to the lower realm!” Mu Xuanyin’s voice was cold and firm, leaving no room for negotiation.
"But this is what the Ice Phoenix Spirit told me personally, and..."
Mu Xuanyin's brows sank: "So are you going to listen to her or me? "
"..." Yun Che stood there, unable to answer.
Mu Xuanyin suddenly stretched out her hand, and an ice-blue barrier was instantly built, sealing Yun Che inside... This barrier could block all light, sound, and breath. And the barrier she built with her own hands, even ten thousand Yun Ches would not be able to escape.
"Since you dare to come back, it means you have made up your mind. I won't force you to make a decision right away."
Mu Xuanyin’s voice rang out from within the barrier: “I’ll give you twelve hours to think carefully about what I just said. Think about the consequences of you being discovered in the God Realm, and then think about your wives, concubines, family, and daughter in the lower world!”
"After twelve hours, either you go back to the underworld and never come back again, or I break your legs and throw you back myself!"
The voice disappeared, and then there was no other sound. Only Yun Che was left in a daze in the ice-blue world.
How did Master know that I have a daughter...
Could it be that...
Outside the barrier, the cold expression on Mu Xuanyin’s face suddenly disappeared, but her chest rose and fell even more violently, and it took a long time to calm down.
Behind her, Mu Bingyun walked out slowly. Looking at Mu Xuanyin's expression, she sighed softly, "Sister, you will scare him like this."
“Humph, I still think I haven’t scolded you enough!” Mu Xuanyin snorted coldly, her anger still lingering.
“I know that my sister has always been angry at him for going to the Star God Realm to save the Heavenly Killing Star God even though he knew he would die. She is angry at him for not cherishing his own life. But…” Mu Bingyun said softly: “Didn’t he do the same thing to my sister back then?”
Mu Xuanyin: “…”
“In the Flame God Realm, in the God Burial Infernal Prison, my sister faced an ancient horned dragon. She was severely injured and exhausted. She was also poisoned by the horned dragon. She was doomed to die. The three sect masters of the Flame God Realm and the elders of each sect were all there, but no one dared to save her. Only he… He only had the power of the Divine Origin Realm, an extremely humble existence, but for you, he rushed towards the ancient horned dragon that the entire Flame God Realm dared not approach… For him, it was almost certain death.”
“I originally thought that you were just forced to lose your virginity to him, and I was angry with him because of it. Later I learned that you not only lost your virginity, but also your heart.” Mu Bingyun looked at her sister, and her gentle words touched her soul: “Isn’t it his most ‘stupid’ thing that made you lose your heart and made the Heavenly Killing Star God willing to transform into an evil baby for him?”
“Don’t say anymore.” Mu Xuanyin closed her eyes: “You won’t understand.”
