27 Coronation (2/2)
Clearly, they were the elites of various major factions who enjoyed vast amounts of resources.
As for Kun Ping, he had an extraordinary identity. He was the most outstanding youth of the Kun family's younger generation. He had hopes of inheriting Kun Xu's position as Imperial Preceptor.
Kun Ping also cherished the rare opportunity of the empress's coronation to befriend the young elites of other factions. For instance, the disciple of the First Beginnings Immortal Gate's sect master, Mu Yun, Nethersword Zhu Ningxie, Konglun, etc. All of them had esteemed statuses.
To acquaint himself with these people, Kun Ping naturally chose something interesting to share. For instance, an oddball like Yi Yun was quite a topic of conversation.
Fairy Yourou frowned when she saw the group of people. Any one of them had a status in no way inferior to hers. At most, it was just a difference in their talent.
”So you are Yi Yun. I've long heard about you!” Mu Yun cupped his fists. ”I heard that you obtained quite a sizable amount of opportunities in the Divine Perish Hall. In a few more months, it's my master's birthday celebration. I wish to buy the Netherworld fruit and nebulous Primordial Chaos essence from you as gifts for my master, I will give you a fair price.”
”Oh?” Yi Yun gave a faint smile. He immediately realized that it was no coincidence that Kun Ping had brought these people here to him. These people were likely looking for him for his treasures.
”I have already refined the Netherworld fruit and the nebulous Primordial Chaos essence for myself. They were used to improve my time and Primordial Chaos laws.”
”Brother Yi, you must be joking. Such rare treasures require a thousand years to refine a tiny portion of it. How could Brother Yi have taken onlu a few decades to refine it clean? Brother Yi, you just have no intentions of selling, am I right? My First Beginnings Immortal Gate is a famous orthodox sect. If we want anything from you, we will pay the required price. If it were some unorthodox sect who had eyed your treasures, the treasures would only bring trouble to you.”
Mu Yun had a threatening tone to his words.
Yi Yun said, ”A few decades? No, you are mistaken. Those few things I gained from the Divine Perish Hall were refined in a few months.”
”Heh!”
Mu Yun and company laughed without a word. Yi Yun had made a ridiculous remark that they could not be bothered to expose.
Beside Mu Yun, Konglun gave a Buddhist proclamation as he said slowly, ”This Penniless Monk has heard that Young Master Yi has a green bone jar with him. In it is an evil demon who is ruthless in its ways. It managed to maim Patron Hong Feiyu in one strike. Such an inauspicious item might one day attack its owner. Young Master Yi, you should consider handing it to me. This Penniless Monk cultivates the Buddhist Dharma that can subdue the evil demon and allow it to be used by the orthodox. It would result in immense merit.”
Yi Yun flicked the dust off his sleeves and said slowly, ”How can you two juniors have anything of worth? You wish to use your trash to exchange for my treasures? It's clearly daylight robbery, yet you do so with such dignified airs. I think you are worse than the unorthodox. At least they do not try to erect monuments to celebrate their chastity.”
”You!?”
Mu Yun was enraged. Although he did plan on using his sect's might to gain some advantage, Yi Yun would also benefit from it. He never expected Yi Yun to toss aside decorum without any heed, hinting that they were whores!
Kun Ping said coldly, ”Yi Yun, you are truly gutsy. Do you know who their masters are? Young Master Mu Yun's master is the First Beginnings Immortal Gate's Sacred Horizon Divine Lord! As for Master Konglun, he is the eldest disciple of Eclipse Arhat. It's your good fortune that they want your items!”
”Sacred Horizon Divine Lord? Eclipse Arhat? So the both of you are their disciples. I couldn't care less even if it were your masters standing in front of me. To think two disciples dare flaunt themselves in front of me. None of you are worthy enough!” Yi Yun said with a scoff.
What he said stunned everyone present. Not only Mu Yun and Konglun, even Fairy Yourou was stunned.
What did Yi Yun just say? He actually said that he couldn't care less even if the First Beginnings Immortal Gate's Sacred Horizon Divine Lord or the Mahayana Monastery's abbot Eclipse Arhat were here in person!?
”Yi Yun… cut it out. Both of them are Sinkhole overlords. Furthermore, they were both invited here for the new empress's coronation to bear witness to Lin Xintong's authority. These two seniors are my Master's equal…”
Fairy Yourou quickly sent a voice transmission which Yi Yun seem to ignore.
”Hahaha!” Nethersword Zhu Ningxie could not help but roar with laughter. ”You couldn't care less about Sacred Horizon Divine Lord or Eclipse Arhat, then wouldn't it mean that my master, West River Divine Lord, would share the same fate?”
”West River Divine Lord?” Yi Yun naturally remembered the name. Back in the primeval universe, West River Divine Lord had the greatest killing intent for him apart from Primordial Chaos Daolord and Fire Cloud Divine Lord!
Now that Primordial Chaos Daolord and Fire Cloud Divine Lord were dead, there was only West River Divine Lord left. However, the bastard had fled.
Yi Yun was someone bent on exacting revenge, but due to the Ancestor God, it was impossible for Yi Yun to pursue West River Divine Lord. It was true that enemies often crossed each other's path.
”So you are West River Divine Lord's disciple.”
”That's right!” Zhu Ningxie wore a look of arrogance. West River Divine Lord had numerous disciples, but he was the most outstanding one of them all. If nothing out of the ordinary happened, he would likely inherit West River Divine Lord's mantle in the future.
”To think a beggar who grubs for food would dare show contempt for royal aristocrats in order to flaunt himself. I find it lamentable that you lead a human's life. Sacred Horizon Divine Lord, Eclipse Arhat, and my master will soon arrive. I'm afraid you will only end up kneeling down under their combined might!”
