Chapter 1049: Chapter 1049: Protector Daoist?

Facing the humiliating questioning from Vast Sea Heavenly Lord, Ye Yun felt somewhat awkward in his heart.

He had no thoughts about his little junior sister, yet to outsiders, it appeared as though he was out seeking romance?

Even an outsider like Vast Sea Heavenly Lord could see it.

It was truly infuriating!

Ye Yun’s brow furrowed coldly, saying, "Vast Sea Heavenly Lord, what nonsense are you spouting? That’s my little junior sister; how could I have thoughts about her?"

"..."

Vast Sea Heavenly Lord pondered over it and became silent as a cicada in winter.

The other party’s cultivation base and strength far exceeded his, and he couldn’t easily anger the opponent no matter what.

Otherwise—

If a Sword Cultivator grows angry, a single sword strike could cause rivers of blood.

"Vast Sea Heavenly Lord, why are you at the Ten Thousand Monster God Temple?"

Ye Yun asked.

"I have a kinship relationship with the Second Palace Master and just came to visit..."

Vast Sea Heavenly Lord took a deep breath and spoke in a low voice.

"Kinship relationship, is that so... You are all of the God Alligator Clan!"

Ye Yun’s eyes were deep, nodding thoughtfully.

"I am the Green Water Alligator Deity, and my brother Jin Liu, also the Second Palace Master of the Ten Thousand Monster God Temple, is the Dominant Blood Divine Alligator!"

Vast Sea Heavenly Lord explained.

As he spoke, he used the corner of his eye to observe Ye Yun’s demeanor.

Vast Sea Heavenly Lord discovered that when he spoke of the Dominant Blood Divine Alligator, this Long Yunzi’s expression remained calm, seemingly unaffected.

He felt a bit disappointed in his heart.

It seems this Long Yunzi is unaware of the Dominant Blood Divine Alligator.

Mentioning this name appears unable to suppress Long Yunzi.

"Vast Sea Heavenly Lord, did you come with that Jin boy to seek revenge against me?"

Ye Yun’s heart stirred, and he asked with a laugh.

"I have no plans for revenge; primarily, I have my eyes on your artifact!"

Vast Sea Heavenly Lord’s gaze flickered, falling on Ye Yun’s shoulder, eyeing the small mirror there.

He had long noticed this unique little mirror.

According to the description from the youth surnamed Jin, it should be this mirror that blasted all three of them away.

"Eyeing my mirror?"

Ye Yun picked up the Imitation Mirror, offering a gentle smile.

"Indeed, but since Long Yunzi has revealed his true identity, this plan must be abandoned..."

Vast Sea Heavenly Lord spread his hands, speaking helplessly.

Earlier, he promised Jin Liu confidently, only to go back on his word within moments.

"Abandon? Do you have that right?"

Ye Yun raised an eyebrow, an astonishing killing intent swirling around.

Swish!

He flicked his finger, sending out a stream of Sword Qi.

Splurt!

From Vast Sea Heavenly Lord’s shoulder, a shower of bright red blood splattered forth.

Ye Yun only applied a light punishment without taking his life.

"So strong!"

Vast Sea Heavenly Lord was aghast, suddenly realizing the terrifying might of the Long Yunzi before him.

Facing that tiny wisp of Sword Qi—

He found himself utterly without the strength to retaliate.

If Long Yunzi wished to take his life, it would be a simple feat.

"Vast Sea Heavenly Lord, do not involve yourself in the Second Palace Master’s matters; return from whence you came. Moreover, you must vow never to reveal any information about me. If you can comply, I will spare your life!"

Ye Yun said coolly.

Though his words were light, they contained supreme authority and murderous intent.

"This..."

Vast Sea Heavenly Lord hesitated.

"If you do not agree, then you may die now!"

Ye Yun’s voice turned cold.

"Fellow Long Yunzi, please don’t act, I agree to your conditions!"

Vast Sea Heavenly Lord shouted hurriedly.

After all, life is precious, and in that moment, he chose submission and compromise.

Next, Vast Sea Heavenly Lord raised a hand and made a vow to the heavens.

"You may leave!"

Ye Yun nodded with satisfaction upon hearing this, waving his hand grandly.

"Yes!"

Vast Sea Heavenly Lord, looking dejected, slipped away into the forest.

Standing amidst the void.

He glanced at the nearby youth surnamed Jin, showing an apologetic expression before disappearing into space.

"My goodness, what... happened here? Uncle Vast Sea left without a word?"

The youth surnamed Jin looked baffled, unsure of what had transpired.

In his deepest thoughts, he felt something was amiss, hastily flying back toward the Second Hall.

Ye Yun’s true self lay hidden in the void, cultivating quietly while waiting.

The Second Palace Master would likely arrive personally soon.

...

On the summit of the Second Hall, a beam of light descended swiftly.

Entering the grand hall.

The Second Palace Master looked bewildered, staring at his son who returned hastily.

"Why have you returned so quickly, where is your Uncle Vast Sea?"

He asked urgently.

"Father, Uncle Vast Sea met a white-clad youth in the Divine Sovereign Realm halfway, exchanged a few words in the forest, and seemed threatened, leaving without uttering a word!"

The youth surnamed Jin said painfully.

"Threatened?"

Second Palace Master’s expression turned dark and somber as he paced back and forth in the hall, muttering to himself: "Well... this Ye surnamed boy actually has a protector behind him; it seems he’s not a simple character either!"

"Father, should we swallow this insult just like that?"

The youth surnamed Jin gritted his teeth.

"Certainly not!"

The Second Palace Master replied with a somber expression, clenching his fist heavily.

He sent out a Divine Thought.

This Divine Thought divided into several parts, flying toward different chambers in the Second Temple Mountain Range.

Within a few breaths.

More than a dozen mighty ones in the God Venerate Realm suddenly arrived.

These were the Elders in Charge of the Second Hall.

"Palace Master, what urgent matter has made you summon us so hurriedly?"

An elder asked.

"Humph! The Ninth Hall has gone too far in bullying us; come with me to settle this matter!"

The Second Palace Master waved his hand, quickly leading the way out of the hall, ascending into the sky, heading straight for the Ninth Hall.

The other Elders in Charge followed closely without hesitation.

A hundred miles from the Ninth Hall.

The dozen mighty God Venerate Realm individuals suddenly stopped in their tracks.

The void ahead was blocked by a white-clad figure with hands behind his back.

Staring at this person, the Second Palace Master’s expression darkened and he asked, "Are you the protector for the Ye surnamed individual?"

Protector?

Ye Yun was slightly surprised, finding this excuse quite handy.

"Indeed, I am his protector."

Ye Yun replied.

Buzz... After speaking, Ye Yun’s body lightly shook, releasing his cultivation base’s aura.

"Eighth Layer of Divine Venerable Realm?"

The many mighty ones from the Second Demon Hall perceived this aura and their faces changed dramatically.

In the entire Ten Thousand Monster God Temple, the strongest First Palace Master was only at the Seventh Level of the God Venerate Realm.

While the Second Palace Master only had reached the Fifth Layer.

Yet this protector was already at the Eighth Layer of the Divine Venerable Realm.

Even if they combined forces, they were no match for such cultivation.

"Afraid? If so, then leave; don’t come here without reason!"

Looking at one fear-stricken Demon Clan cultivator after another, Ye Yun stifled a laugh, flicking his sleeve.

To be honest—

The strength of the Ten Thousand Monster God Temple was far weaker compared to the Supreme Forgetful Love Palace.

However, in this ancient local territory, the Ten Thousand Monster God Temple was considered a top power.

"Apologies!"

Taking a deep breath, the Second Palace Master clasped his hands, his face blue with fury, apologizing drily.

Ye Yun impatiently waved his hand, ordering them to leave quickly.

"Let’s go!"

The Second Palace Master waved his hand grandly, leading the numerous Elders in Charge to swiftly depart.

Pity these Elders in Charge, arriving perplexed and leaving equally bewildered, without understanding why they came at all.
