17 Imperial Preceptor Lingluo (2/2)
The way they looked at Yi Yun changed. They could tell very clearly that Yi Yun had only stood there and gently waved his hand yet left the three people lying on the ground.
This was only because Yi Yun had no intent to kill. If he had any murderous intent, the trio would have been dead.
The white-robed steward crushed a voice transmission talisman as he looked at Yi Yun in shock.
Yi Yun had long noticed the white-robed steward's tiny action, but he did not stop him. If the white-robed steward was directly informing the higher echelons of the White Lunar Divine Empire, it would only save him time and effort.
It did not take long before an extremely powerful repressive force descended.
The guards looked at the whizzing flash and were instantly delighted. They immediately bowed towards the light. ”Elder Tianyi.”
A lean middle-aged man's figure appeared out of the light. He had a thin face with protruding cheek bones. His cheeks sank in and he had cold, sinister-looking eyes.
”Divine Lord Tianyi, he…” The white-robed steward struggled to get up.
”There's no need to speak further.” Divine Lord Tianyi did not even spare a glance at the three stewards for his eyes were trained straight on Yi Yun. He said coldly, ”I'm the Divine Lord stationed here. Who are you? Do you have any wish to leave after causing trouble here today?”
”I had no plans on leaving ever since I came. I'm Yi Yun, Lin Xintong's husband. Please pass the message. If not, I will have to storm my way in.” As Yi Yun spoke, his eyes flashed with killing intent.
If these people kept sending people to stop him and were not open to reason, he could only storm his way up. Who could stop him from meeting his wife?
The look in Divine Lord Tianyi's eyes changed. This was the first time he encountered someone standing at the entrance of his charge and declaring they would storm mountain.
”He's truly insane to say such words. How can Elder Tianyi tolerate such threats…” The white-robed steward sneered inwardly. Yi Yun should have thought about where he was before acting so arrogantly.
He was waiting for Divine Lord Tianyi to rage, but Divine Lord Tianyi was taken aback when he heard Yi Yun. He fell silent for a moment before sizing Yi Yun up. ”Your name is Yi Yun?”
”Yes!”
”This name…” Divine Lord Tianyi frowned. ”Are you the Yi Yun who entered the ancient battlefield from my White Lunar Divine Empire?”
”That's right!” Yi Yun had no plans on hiding the truth.
Divine Lord Tianyi was slightly alarmed. He had once heard that a junior named Yi Yun in their White Lunar Divine Empire had received numerous benefits in the Divine Perish Hall. But ultimately, he perished in the Fey God Tomb. Many people attempted to find his corpse but failed. It was as though Yi Yun's corpse had disappeared, making everyone believe that Yi Yun was dead.
Divine Lord Tianyi had only asked in passing since he had not linked the youth in front of him to that particular Yi Yun. Yet, it turned out to be the same person. He never expected Yi Yun to return alive.
”Wait here,” said Divine Lord Tianyi after some thought.
Yi Yun looked at Divine Lord Tianyi. He had thought of the various ways it might turn out before coming. Backed by his tremendous strength, there was now no need for him to hide the secrets of his treasures. Regardless if Divine Lord Tianyi called for backup to capture him, he thought nothing of it.
Yi Yun waited indifferently by the side as Divine Lord Tianyi phased away.
Divine Lord Tianyi's figure appeared in front of a gigantic pavilion palace within the hundred thousand pavilion palaces. He stepped forward and said to an austere-looking guard who had suddenly appeared. ”Please inform Imperial Preceptor Lingluo that Tianyi seeks an audience.”
The austere-looking guard's eyes glazed over before he said, ”Imperial Preceptor Lingluo grants you entry.”
Divine Lord Tianyi nodded and immediately entered the building.
The building had a unique fragrance wafting in it. There were incense cauldrons burning everywhere as slim and elegant girls shuttled in between the incense while holding all sorts of flowers and spirit fruits.
In the middle of a building, a beautiful woman dressed in a palace gown was leaning on a jade stone. The girls surrounded her as she enjoyed the spirit fruits they offered.
This scene was considered quite a delightful sight, but when Divine Lord Tianyi saw the woman, his eyes turned stern as his expression effused solemnity.
”Tianyi, I sensed an energy fluctuation from the mountain gates. I thought it was something trivial, but who knew you would come all the way here to me. Speak. What happened?” said Imperial Preceptor Lingluo without turning her head.
Divine Lord Tianyi immediately bowed respectfully and said, ”Lord Imperial Preceptor, I'm unaware if you have heard of a junior named Yi Yun from decades ago. He received one of our White Lunar Divine Empire's jade transmission tokens and entered the ancient battlefield…”
”Yes, I have…” Lingluo ate a grape and said nonchalantly, ”It's not a big deal when certain people without any faction backing them joins our White Lunar Divine Empire camp to enter the ancient battlefield. I heard that this junior had quite good luck and received many benefits, but he perished in the ancient battlefield. Why? Is he not dead?”
Lingluo held the grape in her mouth without swallowing it as she ruminated over the matter. For Yi Yun to appear here, he must have either given his valuable treasures to someone else or he was mad.
”Yes! Furthermore, he has appeared at our entrance and claimed that he is our new empress's husband! Furthermore, I have once heard stories about our new empress. It's said that back when Her Majesty first entered the White Lunar Goddess Empress, Her Majesty often had a melancholic look and rumors had it that someone was always on Her Majesty's mind…”
”Oh!?” Upon hearing Divine Lord Tianyi say that, the woman's eyes turned cold as she said, displeased, ”What rubbish have you been listening to!?”
