Chapter 1096: A Slight Punishment
"Steal—away?"
Ye Yun looked at Emperor Wu Shuang, a meaningful smile appearing on his calm face.
Would he steal?
He would openly go to Tianque City and demand they hand over the Sky Illusion Purple Snake. If they couldn’t, then Ye Yun would draw his sword.
At that time... don’t blame him for letting blood flow like rivers.
Surely, Tianque City’s strength would drastically decline then.
"Just say a few words..."
Emperor Jiuying suddenly pulled Ye Yun’s sleeve, showing a worried expression, and leaned close to Ye Yun, whispering, "Tianque City is powerful, with many God King Realm experts. Even though you are strong, you can’t defeat them all!"
"Jiu Ying is right. As a sword cultivator, you shouldn’t bring disgrace upon yourself. If you lose your life in Tianque City, that would be unfortunate!"
Emperor Wu Shuang chuckled, his eyes filled with mockery.
Seeing Emperor Wu Shuang’s distrust, Ye Yun still remained undisturbed.
If he weren’t Emperor Jiuying’s blood uncle, Ye Yun would’ve slapped him down a long time ago.
It would have been a dog’s snout in the dirt, knowing the consequences.
However.
Due to his unclear relationship with Emperor Jiuying, Ye Yun exercised some restraint with regards to Emperor Wu Shuang.
As long as he goes to Tianque City and retrieves the Heart of the Heavenly Illusory Purple Snake, then Emperor Wu Shuang would surely be humiliated.
In the distant void, a long rainbow-like blue light rapidly approached.
"Someone is coming..."
Emperor Wu Shuang sensed it and gazed into the distance.
When he clearly saw the scene within the blue light, a small smile appeared on his old face.
Ye Yun also looked over.
In the blue light, it was an ancient bronze war chariot. On the chariot stood several men in blue robes.
Among these people, most were young men in the God Venerable Realm. Only the leading middle-aged man was in the first layer of the God King Realm.
"People from Tianque City!"
Emperor Jiuying whispered.
After finishing her sentence, a displeased expression appeared on Emperor Jiuying’s beautiful little face.
Her partner had just arrived at the Di Family, and before they even entered the mountain gate, the people from Tianque City followed suit.
Was it mere coincidence?
"So it’s the people from Tianque City. Is that kid Yuwen Qiming on the chariot?"
Ye Yun smiled slightly.
If Yuwen Qiming was onboard, everything would be much easier.
He could directly suppress them.
And then have his father personally send over the Heart of the Sky Illusion Purple Snake.
"Yuwen Qiming is not here. The middle-aged man on the chariot is Yuwen Qiming’s distant uncle!"
Emperor Jiuying said.
"Jiu Ying, the people from Tianque City are likely here to discuss the marriage..."
Emperor Wu Shuang said meaningfully with folded hands.
His brother Di Dao Lin, having suffered a mysterious poison, had greatly diminished strength. Now the Di Family was considerably weaker than Tianque City.
Fortunately, the two families were not in the same region, without direct competition.
Otherwise.
The Di Family’s situation would indeed be dangerous.
After listening to her uncle, Emperor Jiuying’s little face suddenly turned somewhat somber.
She was intelligent; how could she not understand the underlying meaning of her uncle’s words?
The people from Tianque City were obviously here to pressure the Di Family.
The situation was clear.
If the Di Family didn’t agree to the marriage, they wouldn’t get the Heart of the Sky Illusion Purple Snake, and her father’s poison injury couldn’t be healed.
This was a dilemma.
If Emperor Jiuying insisted on refusing, she might face the disdain of many clan members.
"Jiu Ying, don’t worry, leave everything to me!"
Ye Yun gently patted Emperor Jiuying’s fragrant shoulder, smiling.
His words were soft but provided Emperor Jiuying with an indescribable strength.
"Alright!"
Emperor Jiuying softly uttered one word, at this moment her eyes showing a peculiar confidence.
The blue chariot roared to their front, stopping before the three.
The several men from Tianque City disembarked one by one.
Every person had an arrogant expression, scrutinizing, walking with the swagger of a victorious general.
"I didn’t expect both important figures from the Di Family would be present..."
The leading middle-aged God King Realm man looked at Emperor Wu Shuang and Emperor Jiuying, folded his fists, and said with a faint smile, "Both of you seem well-informed, knowing our arrival in advance. You’ve certainly been waiting here for a long time!"
"Haha..."
Emperor Wu Shuang awkwardly laughed twice, folding his fists.
Emperor Jiuying’s expression remained cold, silent.
The middle-aged man turned his gaze onto Emperor Jiuying in her golden robe.
"Emperor Jiuying, how are you considering the marriage between our Tianque City and the Di Family? I came on orders from the City Lord to inquire about this matter!"
He said solemnly.
"No need to consider. This marriage is off!"
Ye Yun said calmly from the side.
Marriage is off?
Who was this guy?
The middle-aged man’s gaze flashed lightning-fast, landing on the white-clothed young man who spoke.
Earlier, he hadn’t even noticed this God Venerable Realm young cultivator.
After all, he was a lofty God King, naturally considering God Venerable Realm cultivators as insignificant as ants.
The middle-aged man looked gloomy, coldly saying, "Hmph, since when did the Di Family have a character like you? Dare veto this marriage openly in front of Emperor Wu Shuang and Emperor Jiuying?"
"Emperor Jiuying’s partner really has a death wish, daring to speak like this when the people from Tianque City arrive!"
Emperor Wu Shuang’s eyes flashed, feeling a certain schadenfreude.
He was eager for the people of Tianque City to get angry and directly deal with this sword cultivator. Then the marriage between the Di Family and Emperor Jiuying would proceed smoothly without obstacles.
"This is my partner."
Emperor Jiuying looked at the middle-aged man, calmly saying.
Her calm demeanor exuded a sense of indescribable confidence.
Ye Yun smiled faintly.
This little Emperor Jiuying had quite a high level of trust in him.
Ye Yun drew his sword and pointed it at the middle-aged man.
"You guys better leave, return early to tell your City Lord to prepare the Heart of the Sky Illusion Purple Snake, as I’m coming personally to fetch it!"
Ye Yun said with a cold smile.
His words were like a huge stone cast into the lake, causing a commotion.
"I’m furious, where did this idiot come from?"
The middle-aged man was enraged.
Disregarding the demeanor of a God King Realm expert, he reached out to grab Ye Yun.
"Retract your claws!"
Ye Yun sneered, striking with his sword.
He didn’t use the Sword of Death Realm.
He simply relied on the speed of his swordsmanship and immense power, forcibly hitting the back of the hand.
Pa!
A soft sound rang out.
The middle-aged man withdrew his hand in pain.
"You..."
He stared at Ye Yun, eyes filled with disbelief.
A young man in the eighth layer of the God Venerable Realm repelled him with a single sword, which was simply unimaginable.
"How is Emperor Jiuying’s partner so powerful?"
Beside them, Emperor Wu Shuang was also shocked, his eyes widened.
Repelling a God King Realm with one sword—
Even if a surprise attack succeeded, it was enough to brag about.
"This was just a light punishment, hoping you return alive to report to your City Lord. If you don’t know what’s good for you, the next sword... I will make you bleed!"
Ye Yun looked at the middle-aged man, calmly saying.
