Divine Emperor Demon Emperor

As he watched Du Ying emerge from the Teleportation Array, a cold smirk touched Lin Yun’s lips. He had just been pondering how to chip away at the Qing Zhu Association’s strength. ‘And now this,’ he thought. ‘Just what I needed, right when I needed it. How thoughtful of Celestial Eagle Valley.’

Du Ying stepped out of the Teleportation Array alone and stared at Lin Yun, his expression complicated. In just a few short years, Lin Yun had gone from a mere ant at the Qi Sea Realm to the Spirit Realm. ‘What kind of speed is that?’

It had taken him, Du Ying, over a century to get from the Qi Sea Realm to his current level of cultivation. And Lin Yun? He had done it in just a few years. ‘What does that mean?’ he wondered. ‘Is the gap in our talent really that vast?’

But shocking as it was, Lin Yun’s rapid growth only made today’s opportunity more precious. Du Ying would not let him get away.

His cultivation was two Small Realms higher than Lin Yun’s; Du Ying was at Spirit Realm Perfection. Although the Dragon’s Suppression radiating from Lin Yun still had an effect on him, it wasn’t enough to restrict his movements. At most, it could only unsettle his spirit.

He flew slowly to hover before Lin Yun. Gazing at the dashing, imposing young man, Du Ying said coldly, “Lin Yun, do you really think breaking through to the Spirit Realm means you can run rampant across the Eastern Domain?”

“At least I have no reason to worry when I’m in front of you, Master Du,” Lin Yun replied with a smile.

Du Ying’s face darkened at his words. Lin Yun was implying that Du Ying was powerless against him now, that he couldn’t possibly kill him.

The words were harsh, but they were true. Facing Lin Yun now, Du Ying knew he couldn’t do a thing. It was impossible to kill Lin Yun by himself.

A Third Level Teleportation Sub-array Map appeared in his hand. From the very beginning, Du Ying had never intended to kill Lin Yun on his own.

Faced with such a perfect opportunity, Du Ying naturally wouldn’t hold back. He activated the Array within the Teleportation Sub-array Map, and soon, all Six Supreme Elders of Celestial Eagle Valley appeared before Lin Yun.

Seven Spirit Realm experts. Against such a lineup, Lin Yun and his people stood no chance. Yet, as Lin Yun looked at Du Ying and the Six Supreme Elders beside him, his face held not a trace of tension. Instead, a smile played on his lips.

‘All of Celestial Eagle Valley’s peak Spirit Realm experts are here,’ Lin Yun thought. ‘If I can annihilate them all, then even if the sect joins the Qing Zhu Association, it will be practically useless.’

“Lin Yun, I have to admit, you’ve truly surprised me. But your arrogance will be your downfall,” Du Ying sneered. “The great war for the Eastern Domain is about to begin, and you and Miss Qing Zhu are mortal enemies. For you to appear so brazenly at the Wind Forest Sect today… you have only your own hubris to blame.” With all seven of Celestial Eagle Valley’s peak Spirit Realm experts gathered, Du Ying was very confident he could kill Lin Yun.

Lin Yun just smiled at Du Ying’s words. ‘He thinks he’s already won?’

Just as Du Ying felt victory was in his grasp, two Space Rifts suddenly tore open on either side of Lin Yun. From them emerged Qingfeng Saint and Flowing Water Saint. ℓ.

At the sudden appearance of Qingfeng Saint and Flowing Water Saint, Du Ying’s eyes bulged. ‘Lin Yun actually has Saints following him?’ ℯⅇ𝙡.

In the Eastern Domain, only the Six Great Forces possessed Saints, and each force had only one. Du Ying had already been deeply shocked when he first saw that Qing Zhu had two Saints in her service.

But now, two Saints had appeared at Lin Yun’s side as well. Du Ying was completely stunned.

Du Ying had always believed that Lin Yun couldn’t possibly be a match for Qing Zhu. If for no other reason, Lin Yun had no way to counter the Saints by her side.

Now, however, Du Ying realized just how naive he had been. Reality had dealt him a resounding slap in the face. Lin Yun didn’t just have Saints—he had two.

“Young Master Lin Yun, it seems we’ve come in handy after all,” Flowing Water Saint said with a charming smile as she arrived at his side.

In truth, when he left the Yanhuang Capital, Lin Yun had asked Qingfeng Saint and Flowing Water Saint to follow him in secret. It wasn’t that he had predicted Celestial Eagle Valley would show up at the Wind Forest Sect; rather, the current situation demanded constant vigilance.

Qing Zhu had vanished after leaving the Cyan Dragon Palace, and the situation in the Eastern Domain was becoming clearer by the day. The Qing Zhu Association intended to unify the domain, and Lin Yun was their number one enemy. He couldn’t afford to be careless under any circumstances.

He knew Qing Zhu had Saints with her, so he couldn’t afford to be without Saint protection himself. Otherwise, she could simply dispatch a single Saint and have him easily eliminated.

He hadn’t expected this ace up his sleeve to actually come into play. This was why, upon seeing the seven peak Spirit Realm experts from Celestial Eagle Valley, Lin Yun hadn’t panicked. Instead, he had smiled.

With Qingfeng Saint and Flowing Water Saint here, Du Ying and his six companions were fish on the chopping block. By slaughtering Celestial Eagle Valley’s upper echelon today, he would also be weakening the Qing Zhu Association’s power.

The appearance of Qingfeng Saint and Flowing Water Saint plunged Du Ying into despair. Who could have possibly imagined that Lin Yun was being protected by Saints?

‘Where did Lin Yun even find Saints?’ he despaired. ‘Saints aren’t cabbages you can pick up at the market! How could a mere Spirit Realm cultivator like him gain the allegiance of two of them?’

Du Ying’s icy expression melted into one of pure terror as he looked at Qingfeng Saint and Flowing Water Saint. Facing two Saints… forget just the seven of them. Even with double their numbers, they would be no match.

“Master Du, you said it yourself just now: Qing Zhu and I are mortal enemies. Since Celestial Eagle Valley has thrown its lot in with the Qing Zhu Association, that makes you my mortal enemy as well. In that case, you can keep the people of the Wind Forest Sect company today,” Lin Yun said with a light laugh, looking at Du Ying.

The tables had turned completely. The sudden appearance of Qingfeng Saint and Flowing Water Saint had completely broken Du Ying’s spirit. Only now did he realize that Lin Yun truly did possess the strength to contend with Qing Zhu.

Not only was his own Combat Power monstrous, but he was also accompanied by two Saints. The Lin Yun of today… forget the Wind Forest Sect, even Celestial Eagle Valley was likely no match for him.

In the sky, Du Ying and his men stood frozen. Facing two Saints, they didn’t even have the courage to try and flee. In the presence of a Saint, even the thought of escape was an extravagant fantasy.

Down below, the members of the Wind Forest Sect, pinned down by the pressure radiating from Lin Yun, stared up at the unfolding scene. They didn’t recognize Qingfeng Saint or Flowing Water Saint, but everyone could tell they were anything but ordinary. To be able to instantly neutralize Du Ying and the Six Supreme Elders, they had to be at least… At that thought, terror dawned on the faces of everyone, from the members of the Wind Forest Sect to the two Main Seat Elders from Celestial Eagle Valley.
