"This chain of mountains was given to Tianjian Villa by the Blue Wind Imperial Family a thousand years ago, and it was renamed the Tianjian Mountains. The highest peak in the mountain range is called 'One Sword Piercing the Clouds Peak', which is also the highest peak in the Blue Wind Nation."
Looking down from the sky, Yun Che introduced Feng Xue'er in detail. When he first came to Tianjian Villa, the Tianjian Mountains, the One Sword Piercing Clouds Peak, and the sword energy that filled the sky all shocked him greatly. Coupled with the fame of Tianjian Villa, he naturally felt a little awe in his heart.
But now, facing Tianjian Villa again, his expression was full of contempt. And this contempt was not his contempt for the weak as a strong man, but his contempt for the entire Tianjian Villa from the bottom of his heart!
When he first came to Tianjian Villa six years ago, he never thought that Tianjian Villa, which was so powerful and majestic as Cangfeng's influence, would be so unbearable when facing the national crisis of Cangfeng and the danger of Bingyun.
“Brother Yun, I want to know, what are you going to do with Tianjian Villa this time?” Feng Xue’er asked softly, worry evident in her words: “Give them a lesson, or… or…”
Back then, he had destroyed Phoenix City into a complete mess. As for Tianjian Villa... for Yun Che now, even if he wanted to completely destroy it, he wouldn't need to spend too much effort.
Feng Xue'er's question made Yun Che slightly startled. He looked up at the villa surrounded by mountains and said sadly, "Perhaps, I just want to vent. Although Tianjian Villa has betrayed its promise and is morally despicable, it can preserve Tianjian Villa's thousand-year foundation. Selfishness is human nature. During this period, I have been constantly excusing Tianjian Villa from the perspective of human nature, but the result is... I still cannot forgive Tianjian Villa. Since they chose to betray their promise, they must naturally bear the consequences of their betrayal. Back then, the Blue Wind Imperial Family and Tianjian Villa shared a promise to live and die together. Blue Wind has suffered this disaster. How can his Tianjian Villa be qualified to be safe and sound after betraying its promise!!"
"And...even if I am broad-minded enough to forgive Tianjian Villa, the matter of the little fairy...can never be forgiven!"
Thinking of Chu Yuechan, Yun Che's originally calm heart and soul suddenly surged with anger... As soon as this anger arose, it became so violent that it could not be suppressed. Ever since Zi Ji "free of charge" told him the culprit of Chu Yuechan's incident, "Xuanyuan Yufeng", a name he almost forgot, was nailed to his heart and soul with a gnashing hatred.
“Brother Yun…” Feng Xue’er, who was standing beside him, immediately sensed the change in Yun Che’s mood, and turned her head to look at him tenderly. Every time he mentioned the “little fairy”, his breathing and aura would become turbulent, and when he came to Tianjian Villa, his aura suddenly surged to a frightening level, and his eyes also became particularly terrifying.
During these three months of daily companionship, she went from being initially surprised and worried to gradually understanding... Yun Che had too much love, worry, concern, and guilt for Chu Yuechan... and the fear of never seeing her again, so every time he mentioned her or thought of her, his emotions would fall into a long period of restlessness.
Yun Che grabbed Feng Xue'er's hand and swooped down towards the Tianjian Villa below. At the same time, his deep voice carried a sinister aura that enveloped the entire Tianjian Villa, and even the entire Tianjian Mountain Range.
"Xuanyuan Yufeng, get out here!!"
Yun Che’s current profound strength was so strong that the sound of his roar alone caused the majestic sword energy surrounding the Heavenly Sword Villa to surge, and the thousands of swords dancing on the Sword Controlling Platform were thrown into chaos. The originally quiet and solemn Heavenly Sword Villa was also thrown into chaos. Almost all the disciples, Pavilion Masters, Sword Servant, and Elders came out in full force, their faces filled with anger, as if they were facing a great enemy.
After all, no one has ever dared to challenge Tianjian Villa in the thousand years since it was built.
“It seems that there are two extraordinary guests coming to Tianjian Villa today.” Jasmine suddenly said.
“A remarkable… guest?” Yun Che’s brows twitched.
“Two level six monarchs, one in the middle stage, and one in the late stage. It seems that if you want to do whatever you want here today, it won’t be that easy.” Jasmine said in a light tone.
“Level 6 Emperor?” Yun Che’s expression changed slightly, but he did not show any worry. Instead, he sneered, “Could it be someone from Mighty Heavenly Sword Region? Ha, it seems that I came at a bad time today. The backer of Heavenly Sword Villa is really getting stronger and stronger.”
Yun Che suddenly remembered what Ling Jie said when he unexpectedly met him in Phoenix City after the Seven Nation Ranking Tournament three years ago...
"Back then, my mother chose my father over my grandfather, which made my grandfather very angry. A few days ago, my mother and father, along with my eldest brother and me, went to the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region and met my grandfather. The conflict between my mother and grandfather was finally resolved. Uh... my grandfather seemed to like me quite a lot, and he even said that he would personally teach me the complete Mighty Heavenly Sword, hehe..."
“…” Yun Che’s expression became slightly complicated.
Yun Che did not hide his figure, but appeared in the sky above Tianjian Villa, looking down with cold eyes.
People gathered in Tianjian Villa. Right below Yun Che, a figure rose up with a condensed sword energy, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Yun Che... It was Ling Yuefeng. At the same time, a large number of Tianjian Pavilion masters and elders with profound strength above the Earth Profound Realm followed closely behind, and quickly formed a formation, surrounding Yun Che and Feng Xue'er in the middle.
“Yun Che, it’s you.” Seeing Yun Che, Ling Yuefeng’s expression became extremely complicated, and he smiled faintly: “You came much later than I expected.”
Indeed, he had foreseen this day coming.
At the beginning, in order to preserve the thousand-year foundation of Tianjian Villa during the Divine Phoenix Rebellion, they chose to violate the promise of their ancestors, and at the same time violated the moral integrity, closed the villa, ignored the request for help from the Blue Wind Royal Family, and ignored the request for help from the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace. At that time, they had never thought that the Blue Wind Royal Family could survive, and it was even more impossible for them to have thought that the ending would be so earth-shattering.
And this variable is Yun Che's return.
Yun Che was famous for his vindictiveness. No one dared to forget the tragic annihilation of Burning Heaven Sect. And the first thing Yun Che did after he came back alive was countless times more earth-shattering than the annihilation of Burning Heaven Sect back then... He actually made the Phoenix Divine Sect, which had a single-handed control over the Seven Profound Sky Nations, so chaotic that it had to withdraw its troops and wanted to make amends and pay a large amount of compensation to the Blue Wind Nation... Moreover, it was said that this ending was due to the forgiveness of Queen Cang Yue, otherwise, the price paid by the Phoenix Divine Sect would be even more tragic.
After the war ended, with Yun Che's personality, how could he forget the "sin of indifference" of his Tianjian Villa? After all, his Tianjian Villa was different from other Xuan cultivation forces... At the same time, it was heard that he saved the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace from a disaster and became the new Palace Master of Ice Cloud Immortal Palace, while the former Palace Master Gong Yuxian and the Grand Palace Master Feng Qianhui were all killed...
The Phoenix Divine Sect suffered an extremely miserable end at the hands of Yun Che, let alone his Heavenly Sword Villa.
The Yun Che of today and the Yun Che of three years ago are two completely different people.
Ling Yuefeng looked at Yun Che's side, and was stunned. The girl beside him was wearing a pure white snow-white dress, with a thin jade silk tied around her waist, all of which were the attire of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace. A layer of snow gauze completely covered her face, and only a hint of beautiful eyes could be seen.
Although her face could not be seen, her whole body exuded a dreamlike and fairy-like aura, which made people feel ashamed and dare not blaspheme just by looking at her...
This feeling was just like when he first met Chu Yuechan…that scene at that time, the trembling of his heart at that moment, he would never forget it until his death.
“Heh…” Yun Che sneered harshly, awakening him from his brief trance: “Isn’t this Ling Yuefeng, the famous and awe-inspiring Manor Master of Tianjian Manor, which is known as the number one sect in Blue Wind Country? I came here without informing him in advance and even had to trouble the famous Manor Master Ling to come out and greet me in person. This makes me, a junior, extremely terrified.”
Anyone who was not deaf could hear the cold, extremely contemptuous sarcasm in Yun Che's words. The nearest Tianjian elder shouted angrily, "Yun Che! Don't forget your identity! It is not your turn to run wild in my Tianjian Villa!!"
"Back off!" Ling Yuefeng said heavily, his chest heaving violently.
"Manor Master..." The Tianjian elders and pavilion masters who were surrounding him with extremely solemn expressions were all stunned and looked at Ling Yuefeng in some surprise and confusion.
"Everyone retreat!" Ling Yuefeng's tone became more serious: "No one is allowed to approach here without my order!"
"yes!"
Under Ling Yuefeng's strict order, the Sky Sword elders and Pavilion Masters stared at Yun Che with fear and dread, and slowly retreated until they were all far away. They knew very well in their hearts that if Yun Che really wanted to take action, with his strength that could make the Phoenix Divine Sect uneasy, even if they had ten times more people, it would be useless.
Everyone stepped aside, and Ling Yuefeng faced Yun Che alone, taking a deep breath. The last time he saw Yun Che was five or six years ago. At that time, Yun Che was just a junior who was not very impressive in his eyes. But now, the appearance of Yun Che in front of him has not changed much, except that his figure has become taller. However, when facing him, he clearly felt a heavy pressure like a mountain.
Moreover, he had a very complicated emotion towards Yun Che... This emotion could perhaps be understood as deep envy and jealousy, because Chu Yuechan, whom he loved so much, had never looked at him straight in the eye, but was with this man in his twenties...
At the same time, some resentment was inevitable, but he knew very well that he had no right to hate.
“Yun Che,” Ling Yuefeng said calmly, “In the past two months, I have never left the villa, waiting for you or the Blue Wind Royal Family to come. Although the closure of the villa over the years was a helpless move for my Tianjian Villa, I have always been very ashamed of it. Now that you come to accuse me, I have nothing to say.”
Yun Che raised his eyebrows and was about to speak when an old and heavy voice came from a distance: “The decision to close the village was made by me. It was also my decision not to help Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace.”
As the voice came, an old man in a gray-white sword robe came to Ling Yuefeng's side. He glanced at Yun Che and slowly closed his eyes: "Since you are here today... I will naturally give you an explanation."
“Father, these are clearly my decisions… and have nothing to do with you!” Ling Tianni’s arrival and the words he said made Ling Yuefeng lose his composure. He quickly took a step forward and said, “Yun Che! My father’s words were only to protect me. As the current owner of Tianjian Villa, everything is naturally decided by me. I have nothing to do with my father! If you have any grudges, just come after me!”
“Haha, what a father and son protecting each other, it’s simply touching!” Yun Che sneered, his eyes shining on Ling Tianni’s face like a knife: “Ling Tianni, you and I had never met before, and in order to kill me, you chased me all the way to Cangfeng Imperial City, talking about slaying demons and defending the way, talking about benevolence and morality, and talking about getting rid of harm for Cangfeng! Although I was seriously injured at that time and almost died at your hands, I still have a little respect for you in my heart. I think the reason you want to kill me is that you misunderstood me as a vicious and bloodthirsty person. In fact, my nature is to hate evil, be upright, and attach great importance to loyalty and trustworthiness!”
“However, in the face of a true national crisis, even without the promise made to the ancestors of the Blue Wind Profound Palace, your Heavenly Sword Villa should have been the most solid force. But under the leadership of you, Ling Tianni, you became the biggest coward in the Blue Wind Nation!” Yun Che sarcastically said, “The Blue Wind Nation was in chaos, with blood flowing everywhere, and your Heavenly Sword Villa has not lost a single brick or tile in three years, and has not spent any manpower or material resources. Not even one person showed up. Now thinking back to those high-sounding words you shouted at the beginning, it is really disgusting!”
“… Yun Che!” Ling Yuefeng’s face darkened slightly. “For this matter, we, Tianjian Villa, feel guilty! But Tianjian Villa has its own reasons for making this decision! If you have any grudges, just come after me, Ling Yuefeng… Don’t humiliate my father!”
“Alright. Yue Feng, you don’t have to excuse me. He is right.” Ling Tianni raised his hand and said weakly. In just a few years, his face looked much older. Perhaps he had been carrying a heavy burden of guilt in his heart over the years. “Yun Che, I said before that I would give you and the Blue Wind Imperial Family an explanation for this matter.”
“Explanation?” Yun Che turned his head away and said coldly: “Oh, did I ever ask you to explain anything?”
“I originally did intend to flatten your Heavenly Sword Villa.” Yun Che said in a cold voice, words that would scare anyone who heard them: “Don’t think that I can’t do it just because you have Mighty Heavenly Sword Region as your backer! Three months ago, I almost completely destroyed Phoenix City of the Divine Phoenix Sect. To destroy a mere Heavenly Sword Villa, it would be a piece of cake, and I wouldn’t even blink an eye!”
Ling Tianni and Ling Yuefeng's breathing became heavier at the same time. If these words were spoken by others, they would treat them as a joke. But when they came from Yun Che's mouth, they could not laugh at all. They only felt a piercing chill on their backs.
"But, before I set out from Cangfeng Imperial City to come here today, my empress wife stopped me and told me: Tianjian Villa can forget its ancestors and abandon its loyalty, but the Cangfeng Imperial Family cannot! Because back then, Cangfeng Taizu and Tianjian Ancestor held the power of Cangfeng in one hand and the momentum of Cangfeng in the other, and they were brothers who supported each other and shared life and death, and warned their descendants to be closely connected with Tianjian Villa for generations! Now, even though Tianjian Villa was ruthless and unrighteous first, as the descendants of Cangfeng Taizu, how can we go against the teachings of Taizu and destroy the foundation left by Tianjian Ancestor?"
“In those three years, she endured the pain of losing her father and husband, shouldered the national crisis of the entire Blue Wind Nation, and protected the last dignity of the Blue Wind Nation and the royal family. However, she threw away all her dignity by asking you for help nine times! And what did she get…” Yun Che took a deep breath, and his voice became even colder and chilling: “So, she should be the person in this world who hates you the most, and the person who is most qualified to resent and hate you. But it was she who asked me to forgive you, or at least not to destroy Heavenly Sword Villa… as long as Heavenly Sword Villa had never existed!”
Yun Che's words made Ling Tianni and Ling Yuefeng's eyes flicker at the same time... Thinking of the nine silk books with blood and tears from Queen Cang Yue, their hearts and souls suddenly became bitter, and they were ashamed and embarrassed.
