After taking another careful look at Ye Dingzhi and confirming that he was alright, Yu Tian turned and left.

His figure vanished from the mountain peak in an instant, like a ghost.

Ye Dingzhi was left alone, sitting there quietly, adjusting his state and preparing for the next stage of cultivation.

...

The candlelight flickered in the Imperial Study of the Northern Imperial Palace, creating a tranquil atmosphere.

Emperor Tai'an was intently reviewing memorials, his brows furrowed slightly, as if something was troubling him.

Just then, Zhu Qing quietly walked up to Emperor Tai'an and whispered:

"Your Majesty, news has come from the Shadow Sect that a fierce battle has taken place not far from the Azure Dragon Gate between experts at the Rising Sky Realm and above."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Tai'an's expression changed slightly, and he questioned him with displeasure:

"What's going on? Who dares to be so bold as to openly fight in the heart of our imperial city?"

Sensing Emperor Tai'an's displeasure, Zhu Qing hurriedly replied:

"Your Majesty, the Sword Immortal-level Envoy from the Outer Heavens attempted to capture Baili Dongjun, but was stopped by Ye Dingzhi, the junior brother of the Demon Sword Immortal."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Tai'an's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and he muttered to himself:

"Oh! The Demon Sword Immortal's junior brother is also a sword immortal?"

Zhu Qing knew that Emperor Tai'an might have misunderstood, so he quickly explained:

"Your Majesty, he is not a sword immortal-level expert, but merely a cultivator at the Nine Heavens Realm."

However, after he unleashed his demonic powers, his strength became comparable to that of someone in the Soaring Realm.

Nevertheless, he was ultimately severely injured by the envoy from the Outer Heavens.

At the critical moment, the Demon Sword Immortal intervened and killed the envoy from the Outer Heavens.

After listening, Emperor Tai'an frowned, his eyes revealing a hint of doubt and worry, and said in a deep voice, "Continue."

Zhu Qing lowered his head slightly, pondered for a moment, and then continued:

"After a thorough investigation by the Shadow Sect, we discovered that this mysterious expert, Ye Dingzhi, is none other than Ye Yun, the son of General Ye Yu."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Tai'an's expression changed slightly. He raised his head, a ripple of emotion flashing in his eyes, as if he were recalling something from the past.

After a few breaths of silence, he slowly looked at Zhu Qing and asked in a calm tone:

"Are you sure?"

Zhu Qing bowed respectfully once again and solemnly replied:

"Based on the Shadow Sect's investigation results, it can be basically confirmed that he is Ye Yun."

After receiving a definitive reply from Zhu Qing, Emperor Tai'an murmured to himself:

"Ye Yun... Junior Brother of the Demon Sword Immortal... Demonic arts... Rising Sky Realm strength... Could it be that he has returned for revenge?"

After a dozen or so breaths, Emperor Tai'an's eyes sharpened and turned cold, filled with murderous intent. He then decisively issued the order:

"Immediately issue a nationwide announcement that Ye Dingzhi is Ye Yun, and then issue a full-scale manhunt for Ye Dingzhi!"

If the Demon Sword Immortal lends a hand, we can seize this opportunity to wipe them all out.

After receiving Emperor Tai'an's instructions, Zhu Qing dared not delay in the slightest and immediately responded:

"Yes, Your Majesty, this servant will make the arrangements immediately." With that, he turned and left the Imperial Study.

After Zhu Qing left, the entire imperial study fell silent, with only the soft sounds of Emperor Tai'an turning the pages of memorials remaining.

Zhu Qing arrived outside the Imperial Study, his expression very serious.

Without any hesitation, he summoned Jin Xuan and whispered to him:

"Go find the Green King immediately and tell him some important news."

Jin Xuan stood respectfully to the side, awaiting Zhu Qing's instructions.

Zhu Qing continued:

“Tell the King of Qing that Ye Dingzhi is actually Ye Yun from back then, and that he has returned to Beili this time to seek revenge against the King of Qing.”

Jin Xuan was startled after hearing this, but quickly regained her composure.

He was well aware of the importance and sensitivity of this news, so he bowed respectfully without hesitation and replied:

"Yes, Master. I will go and deliver the message immediately."

After saying that, Jin Xuan quickly turned and left, preparing to carry out the mission as Zhu Qing had requested.

Chapter Sixty-Nine: On a Rainy Day, Sheathing Her Sword and Serving Yueyao

After returning to the school on a rainy day, he went straight to a rooftop to look for Li Changsheng.

When he arrived at the rooftop, he found Li Changsheng sitting there leisurely drinking.

Seeing the rain approaching, Li Changsheng grinned mischievously and tossed the wine in his hand directly into the rain.

He easily caught the bottle in the rain, a slight smile playing on his lips, and replied:

"With me here, how could he possibly die? Once he recovers from his injuries, his strength will likely break through to the peak of the Nine Heavens Realm."

After another six months of preparation, reaching the Ascending Realm shouldn't be difficult.

Upon hearing Yu Tian's words, a hint of envy flashed in Li Changsheng's eyes, and he sighed:

"You people who possess innate martial veins are truly beyond our reach!"

My disciples in the academy have cultivated for over ten years, and they have only just reached the realm of freedom.

They haven't even trained a single disciple at the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm.

Upon hearing this, Yu Tian glanced helplessly at Li Changsheng and retorted:

"Old Li, don't be modest. Others may not know your strength, but do you think I don't?"

Who else possesses a natural martial arts lineage that can compare to you?

Upon hearing Yu Tian's praise, Li Changsheng raised his head with a smug look and said proudly:

"Of course, I am the number one in the world, a true immortal. How can mortals compare to me?"

Seeing Li Changsheng showing off again, Yu Tian smiled helplessly and echoed, "..."

"Yes, you are a banished immortal, you are the best in the world, is that enough?"

After speaking, Yu Tian sat down next to Li Changsheng and then asked:

"By the way, Old Man Li, where have you placed that woman I asked you to stay last time?"

Li Changsheng suddenly stopped drinking. He looked up, sized Yu Tian up and down, and a mocking smile appeared on his face. He said sarcastically:

"You rascal, you've lost interest in women, so why are you keeping that girl around?"

"Is it just to see her?"

Upon hearing Li Changsheng's words, Yu Tian's face instantly darkened, and he retorted somewhat angrily:

"Who told you I'm not interested in women?"

I just have a physical problem, but that doesn't mean I don't like women, okay?

Besides, I'm about to break through to a breakthrough soon, so these little problems are nothing at all!

Seeing Yu Tian's somewhat exasperated expression, Li Changsheng stopped teasing him and instead pointed towards the inner courtyard, saying:

"Look! I've already had Liu Yue and the others arrange for her to move into the inner courtyard. If you want to find her, just go directly to the inner courtyard."

Upon hearing this news, Yu Tian felt a great weight lifted from his shoulders. He immediately downed his drink in one gulp, then put down the bottle, slowly stood up, and said to Li Changsheng:

"Old Li, you can stay here and enjoy your drink. I'm going to find her now."

After saying that, without waiting for Li Changsheng's response, he flew directly towards the inner courtyard.

Li Changsheng watched the rain disappear into the distance and couldn't help but sigh inwardly:

"Alas! Soon my power will dissipate, and by then, I'm afraid no one in Tianqi City will be able to suppress him."

I wonder if this guy will turn Tianqi City into chaos and utter pandemonium.

However, Yu Tian was unaware of Li Changsheng's inner worries. He quickly flew to a rooftop in the inner courtyard.

I saw Yueyao sitting alone in the pavilion, lost in thought.

Yu Tian smiled and, with a flash, transformed into a black shadow and sped towards the pavilion where Yue Yao was.

He was incredibly fast, like a gust of wind, and arrived in front of the pavilion in the blink of an eye.

Startled by the faint sound behind her, Yueyao turned around with a tense expression and shouted, "Who's there!"

However, when Yueyao saw Yutian standing in front of her, a hint of panic flashed across her tense expression.

But she quickly concealed her embarrassment and bowed respectfully, saying:

"Senior Demon Sword Immortal".

Although Yueyao concealed the slight panic on her face very well, Yutian, who was very observant, still noticed it.

However, he didn't seem to care too much, simply waving his hand lightly and smiling as he said:
