Starting with an orphanage, I mass-produced peerless empresses.

Upon hearing this, Mu Feng's smile vanished instantly.

"I'll give you one last chance. Five million Xuan Crystals, and I'll take this sword."

"What if I don't sell it?"

Lin Yun raised an eyebrow, also feeling displeased by his persistence.

In Mu Feng's view, Lin Yun was just a young cultivator from Hehuan Valley, yet he dared to refuse the conditions he proposed?

"Don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit."

Mu Feng looked at him coldly and threatened him blatantly.

"Even if your Hehuan Valley Master were here, he would still have to give this young master some face!"

"So what? Are you your father?"

Lin Yun shook his head. It turned out he was just a guy who relied on his father for a living.

His words made Bai Xiaoxue and Qingyue cover their mouths and chuckle. Although they felt it was very impolite, they really couldn't help it.

In the past, they might have worried about the dean's safety, but after the last Qingyun Grand Competition, they gradually began to believe in his strength.

If the Dean could force Senior Xu to back down, why would he be afraid of a mere Western Regions Sword Alliance?

Unsurprisingly, Mu Feng was instantly enraged.

"You! In this whole world, besides my father, no one dares to speak to me like that!"

After saying that, he looked at the old man in white beside him and called out.

"What are you standing there for?! Why aren't you making a move?!"

Clearly, the old man was indeed his guard.

As his cultivation level was revealed, he was clearly a powerful cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage. To have someone closely protecting an extraordinary cultivator was indeed a luxurious arrangement.

Although the white-robed elder couldn't see through Lin Yun, judging from his apparent age, he was at most at the King-level realm, so there was no need to worry too much.

The white-robed elder conjured a long sword in his palm, and golden sword light bloomed, exuding an extremely domineering pressure!

"Your Excellency, be careful!"

A sharp glint flashed in his aged eyes, and the long sword in his hand attacked Lin Yun like a golden dragon!

Seeing this, Lin Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of killing intent flashing in them.

Although he couldn't defeat his opponent under normal circumstances, he wouldn't mind using the copied skill, which was Xu Chang'an's full-force attack...

At that moment, the white-robed elder suddenly stopped his sword, then smoothly turned it into the hilt, and knocked Mu Feng unconscious.

The whole process was so smooth that it made people wonder if he had planned to do it from the beginning.

This sudden turn of events left Lin Yun and the other two stunned.

"What do you mean?"

Then, the old man in white robes smiled and said.

"I am so sorry, it was my young master who was very rude. This old servant apologizes to you on his behalf."

Lin Yun raised an eyebrow; this guy wasn't playing by the rules.

"Aren't you afraid he'll cause you trouble afterward by doing this?"

"The vice leader instructed me to take good care of the young master while I am away, so this is not considered disobeying orders."

After speaking, the white-robed elder looked loyal and then tentatively asked a question.

"Sir, may we take our leave now?"

After he did this, Lin Yun found it difficult to make a move, since it's said that you can't hit someone who's smiling at you.

Besides, he hadn't actually made a move yet, and finally waved his hand.

"Okay, get lost."

"Thank you, Your Excellency!"

After obtaining Lin Yun's consent, the white-robed elder picked up Mu Feng and quickly fled.

After they left, Lin Yun and the other two looked at each other in bewilderment.

Qingyue couldn't help but ask, "Dean, what did you do to that old man?"

"Don't ask me, I'm wondering about it too."

Lin Yun shrugged and said, "Could it be that you were stunned by my handsomeness, Dean?"

The two girls secretly pursed their lips. Although the dean was indeed quite handsome, it was still a bit narcissistic of them to say it out loud!

Then, Qingyue said thoughtfully.

"But Dean, this is strange..."

"You thought of that too, didn't you?"

"Yes, someone must have leaked information about this secret realm to the Western Regions Sword Alliance."

"It seems this secret realm is going to be quite lively..."

……

In the distance, the white-robed elder who had fled glanced behind him and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Huh, it's so dangerous..."

To be honest, he had indeed planned to take action.

However, the path he comprehended was the path of survival, which allowed him to sense life-threatening dangers. It was precisely because of this characteristic that the vice leader arranged for him to be by the young master's side!

Just now, he had a reaction, as if telling him that if he persisted any longer, he would surely die, so he simply made a quick escape.

"That guy, did he use some kind of age-preserving technique?"

The old man frowned. Otherwise, he would never have believed that a man in his twenties could make him feel threatened with death!

"Never mind, let's go and rejoin the main force first..."

Since the other party is a cultivator from Hehuan Valley and seems to be about to enter the secret realm, let's leave this dangerous matter to the vice leader and the others.

Whether or not I seize the sword is none of my business...

……

Meanwhile, in the central area of ​​the Hidden Dragon Mountains.

All the independent cultivators within a radius of dozens of miles were driven away to prevent them from taking advantage of the chaos.

The teams from the five major powers had already gathered here, and almost every side had top experts.

They were resting in areas hundreds of meters apart, seemingly afraid of accidentally escalating the conflict.

"These guys are here pretty early."

As Lin Yun's flying boat landed, his gaze swept over the group of people.

Among them were many with extremely powerful auras, likely the sect leaders of various forces, making this a much larger event than the last Qingyun Grand Competition.

His appearance instantly attracted the attention of the five major powers, but each of them had a different expression.

For example, Jian Changhong, who was talking to Lu Xian'er, had his face turn gloomy the moment he saw him.

"This guy actually came too?"

Looking around, sure enough, Lu Xian'er's eyes immediately changed after seeing Lin Yunlai.

This made Jian Changhong even more unhappy...

Meanwhile, Xingwu of the Blood Fiend Demon Sect stared intently at Lin Yun and gave him a smile.

However, the way Lin Yun looked at her was not so friendly.

"That crazy woman, I wonder what she's plotting..."

Now that the enemy is in the dark while we are in the light, we must be careful in our actions from now on.

After Lin Yun landed, three figures rushed over from Hehuan Valley to greet him.

"Dean Lin, you arrived so quickly!"

Lu Xian'er, wearing a veil, waved to him.

Beside him were her master, Su Qing, and a handsome stranger.

Lin Yun smiled and said, "After all, it concerns Empress Chi Yuan, so naturally we had to arrive early."

Just then, the handsome man suddenly stepped forward, pulled him around, and looked him up and down.

"Not bad, not bad, quite handsome, and with a strong physique. How about you cultivate with Xian'er?"

That look in his eyes was like he was examining a work of art; he was practically ready to take his pants off to take a closer look.

"Um, who is this...?"

Lin Yun was stunned for a moment, and seriously doubted whether the other party was from Nantong.

Lu Xian'er glared at the handsome man and said helplessly.

"Master, please stop making things worse."

After she finished speaking, she introduced him to Lin Yun.

"Dean Lin, this is Yu Changkong, the Valley Master of Hehuan Valley."

Lu Xian'er felt that if she didn't change the subject soon, her master might reveal all her secrets.

Sure enough, Lin Yun looked him over and asked a strange question.

"Master Yu, what you were talking about earlier about dual cultivation..."

"Of course it is..."

Yu Changkong smiled and was about to speak when Su Qing, who was beside him, pinched him hard on the waist.

"You idiot, didn't I tell you to shut up!"

Yu Changkong gasped and quickly begged for mercy.

"Touch it gently..."

Su Qing gave a soft snort before letting go of her hand.

Then, she smiled at Lin Yun.

"Please forgive him, Dean Lin, but this guy just loves to talk nonsense."

"Uh, okay..."

Lin Yun's expression was strange; he had a feeling that something was amiss.

At this moment, Yu Changkong coughed lightly and said awkwardly to Lin Yun.

"Please excuse my appearance. I've heard Xian'er mention Dean Lin's name before, and seeing him in person today, he certainly has an extraordinary presence!"

"Not at all, it is Valley Master Yu who is truly renowned."

Lin Yun returned the smile, but a question arose in his mind.

This valley master is indeed quite handsome, and with such power, it's no wonder that Master Lu Xian'er would come together with him.

It seems the other person is henpecked...

Just as the two were exchanging pleasantries, an unfriendly voice came from nearby.

"Master Yu, don't you think we should explain this?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yun and the others all looked in the direction of the voice.

Upon seeing who it was, Qingyue's eyes instantly turned cold and sharp.

Clearly, the person who came was Yuwen Tuo, the current Palace Master of the Heavenly Demon Palace...
