True Martial World Chapter 1009

Chapter 1009: Wu Yunhou, Danger

The group of people numbered about twenty. They were dressed in different attires and were of all ages. It was apparent that they belonged to different factions.

Some of the most striking ones among them was a lady with black fingernails and a middle-aged man that looked like a Daoist, as well as a purple-robed man whose face was covered in scales.

The scaled-faced purple-robed man caught Yi Yun’s attention the most. He was not greatly injured and it was hard to tell if he had experienced the Apocalyptic Fumes from before. If he had been embroiled in the Apocalyptic Fumes, even if it were just the periphery, it was enough to indicate how formidable he was. Few people could survive the Apocalyptic Fumes relatively unscathed.

But compared to these people, there were another two people who caught Yi Yun’s attention. They were a fat and thin duo that Yi Yun noticed from a cursory glance.

s.h.i.+ Fei! s.h.i.+ Ping!

“Peng Peng Peng!”

The twenty people landed one after another. s.h.i.+ Fei and s.h.i.+ Ping had also seen Yi Yun.

As the saying goes, enemies see red the moment they meet. Their Dao Domains were destroyed back when they competed with Yi Yun to become Felicitous Rain Lord’s disciple. Their martial paths had been almost severed by Yi Yun. The first thing they did when they saw Yi Yun was to circulate their energy, producing intense killing intent.

“How true is it that enemies often cross each other’s paths!”

When s.h.i.+ Fei and s.h.i.+ Ping saw Yi Yun, they revealed a hideous smile. After their martial paths had been severed, the status they enjoyed in the Immortal Rain Sect had plummeted. They had no choice but to receive the patronage of a powerful figure in the Immortal Rain Sect, to the point of them being almost no different from slaves. Only then, did they manage to survive in the Immortal Rain Sect.

They embarked on the expedition to the Azure Wood Great World with the intentions to go for broke while risking their lives. If they were able to find a heaven-defying treasure in the Azure Wood Great World, there was a tiny bit of possibility that they could reverse their fates, allowing them to continue down their martial paths.

But they never expected to encounter Yi Yun here. To them, Yi Yun was a thorn in their side, a sty in their eyes. They yearned to skin him alive.

“So it’s the two of you. To think that the two of you would come to the Azure Wood Great World. Is there any meaning for your trip here, considering that your Dao has already been destroyed?”

As Yi Yun spoke, he circulated his energy in his Dantian, which had the three sword Qi Felicitous Rain Lord had bestowed him. That was the last thing he could rely on.

But even with the sword Qi, Yi Yun did not have absolute confidence when facing a true expert.

“You’re courting death!”

The eyes of s.h.i.+ Fei and s.h.i.+ Ping suffused a deep sense of vicious hatred. Although they yearned to immediately kill Yi Yun, they lacked the confidence to do so due to the severe injuries they had suffered from before, in addition to the apprehension they felt towards Yi Yun.

At that moment, s.h.i.+ Fei and s.h.i.+ Ping suddenly turned around and bowed to a person in the group. “Lord Wu Yunhou, the two of us implore Lord Wu Yunhou to kill that person for the two of us! The two of us will swear on the heavens that we will be dedicated to the Lord, never to balk at any sacrifice, even at the costs of our lives.”

Bows amongst warriors had various forms — simple cupping of hands, a junior’s bow, a bow between master and disciple, as well as the genuflection that was typically seen between master and slave. And now, s.h.i.+ Fei and s.h.i.+ Ping’s act of deference was the latter.

This surprised Yi Yun slightly. For s.h.i.+ Ping and s.h.i.+ Fei to be sent by the Immortal Rain Sect to partic.i.p.ate in Felicitous Rain Lord’s disciple recruitment, it proved that they enjoyed a particular status in the Immortal Rain Sect. Even if it had plummeted as a result of their Dao Domains being destroyed, they should still have a certain amount of remnant pride. But now, they had submitted to someone else. It made it apparent that Wu Yunhou was no trifling figure in the Immortal Rain Sect.

“Are you Yi Yun?”

Wu Yunhou, who s.h.i.+ Ping and s.h.i.+ Fei mentioned, was the man in the purple robes.

He was burly and his cheeks were covered with a layer of scales. Even in the overcast world, the layer of scales still s.h.i.+mmered with a resplendent l.u.s.ter.

He could not be considered handsome, but he exuded a special charm that made him unforgettable to anyone who saw him.

“Was it you who previously crippled s.h.i.+ Ping and s.h.i.+ Fei?”

Wu Yunhou’s words suffused an oppressive pressure. It stemmed from his terrifying strength, a cultivation level that Yi Yun could not discern at all!

He was from the Immortal Rain Sect, where he enjoyed a supernatural existence in. That meant that he had immense talent, or at least it exceeded s.h.i.+ Fei and s.h.i.+ Ping’s. In addition to his cultivation level that exceeded Yi Yun by two large realms, he was absolutely someone Yi Yun could not deal with!

“That’s right!” Yi Yun focused intently. Even though he had Felicitous Rain Lord’s sword Qi, he did not have much confidence. After all, he could only produce a tiny portion of the might of Felicitous Rain Lord’s sword Qi. He was unsure how useful it would be against such a mighty figure.

Wu Yunhou took a few steps towards Yi Yun. Although he was looking at Yi Yun, it was as though everything was beneath his notice. He completely disparaged Yi Yun.

“Yi Yun…”

Yue Yingsha, who was beside Yi Yun, was feeling extremely nervous. She never expected that they would encounter danger the moment they entered the Door to the 33 Skies. She was too weak, so she would not amount to anything against the group of people. And Yi Yun’s trump card, the G.o.d Advent Tower had previously been drained of its energy.

“s.h.i.+ Ping and s.h.i.+ Fei are now under my patronage. In the future, they would be my servants, but I would still like to give them an answer. As Felicitous Rain Lord’s disciple, I will spare you from death, but I will not let you off either. Back when you partic.i.p.ated in Felicitous Rain Lord’s disciple recruitment, you had made s.h.i.+ Ping and s.h.i.+ Fei choose between kneeling down or slapping themselves in the face. Today, I’ll let you experience that choice. Either you kneel down to beg for their forgiveness or you slap yourself in the face a hundred times. Make your choice!”

Although Wu Yunhou spoke in a nonchalant manner, his tone was not something to be riposted. Absolute strength made him believe he was free to determine Yi Yun’s fate.

The mood changed dramatically as the air turned tense with a murderous hint to it.

Everyone was looking at Yi Yun, with many of them having gloating looks. Since they were in a group, a lot of them were from the Immortal Rain Sect. As Immortal Rain Sect disciples, they were displeased with Felicitous Rain Lord, who had betrayed their sect. With Yi Yun being Felicitous Rain Lord’s personal disciple, they were also jealous of him because of the possibility of him eventually inheriting Felicitous Rain Lord’s ‘Ten Thousand Fey Divine Canon’. They yearned for Yi Yun’s death.

Wu Yunhou did not choose to immediately kill Yi Yun because of the people present. It was difficult to keep the murder of Yi Yun a secret. This made him somewhat hesitant, but it was also impossible for him to spare Yi Yun.

“Lord, just kneeling or slap himself in the face? That’s too little!”

s.h.i.+ Ping and s.h.i.+ Fei turned anxious. They had their future martial paths destroyed, so there was no way they could ease the hatred they had for Yi Yun unless they tortured him to death.

“Shut up!” Wu Yunhou frowned. This made s.h.i.+ Ping and s.h.i.+ Fei immediately feel apprehensive. They did not dare speak another word. Now, they were only servants, and similarly, Wu Yunhou did not think much of them either.

“Lord, Yi Yun has many treasures on him. Rumor has it that one of the treasures is close to the Divine Lord level,” said s.h.i.+ Fei through gritted teeth after a moment of silence. He did not say it with a voice transmission, but right in front of the twenty people.

Immediately, everyone looked at Yi Yun with an odd glint in their eyes.

A treasure close to the Divine Lord level!?

In fact, s.h.i.+ Fei did not know what level Yi Yun’s treasures were at. However, he had deliberately said it in such a manner. It was simple but also very vicious. By mentioning Yi Yun’s treasure, the twenty people would target Yi Yun just like a pack of wolves catching sight of a sheep. It was obvious what the sheep’s outcome would be.

He did not believe that Yi Yun would survive the group when greed leered its head.
