Chapter 405: Chapter 405: One Sword, The Fall of the Tyrant Ancestor

”Join the Jianyun Sect?”

Ye Yun was slightly taken aback, not expecting the woman in white to make such a sudden invitation.

”I appreciate your kind intention. Although I am a loose cultivator, I have long had my own goals in the Sword Dao, so it’s truly not suitable for me to join any sect.”

Ye Yun politely declined without hesitation.

Aside from the Dragon God Sect, there was no other sect in the world that attracted him. Even Divine King-level powers did not catch his eye.

”Then, I must have been presumptuous.”

The woman in white showed an apologetic smile, her cherry lips slightly parted as she gently exhaled.

It seemed this mysterious Sword Cultivator from other lands wouldn’t join the Jianyun Sect, nor any other power for that matter. He was the type of transcendent figure, like an idle cloud or a wild crane. The woman in white deeply admired such individuals. So she didn’t persist, instead finding an excuse to quickly depart.

”Go back to the room and rest.”

Ye Yun turned around and spoke indifferently.

He and the Nether Blood Green Wooden Dragon retreated to two separate rooms and began to cultivate.

As for Ye Yun, he was on the verge of breaking through to the Divine Sovereign Realm and didn’t need specific cultivation for that, so he focused on practicing his other Divine Techniques. The Nether Blood Green Wooden Dragon, however, was greatly stimulated after entering the Divine Land. It began to cultivate with extreme diligence, frantically absorbing the spiritual energy within the Divine Land.

「The Bamboo Building at the back mountain.」

The woman in white suddenly appeared here.

”Master, that mysterious young Sword Cultivator has also arrived and even presented a young dragon. I inquired about his intentions; he has no desire to join any sect. It’s truly a pity.”

The woman in white spoke with a regretful look on her face. Her Master held this mysterious Sword Cultivator in high regard. If he could join the Jianyun Sect, he would surely become another extraordinary figure like her Master in the future.

”No matter. Such a Sword Dao Pride possesses a resolute mind, far beyond ordinary people. Everything depends on fate; it cannot be forced.”

The Sword Sovereign’s voice floated from the depths of the loft.

Although she felt some regret that this Sword Dao genius wouldn’t join the Jianyun Sect, she didn’t dwell on it. She had only thought of it fleetingly, out of an appreciation for talent. Aside from matters of the heart from her past, the Sword Sovereign had devoted her life to cultivating the Sword Dao. The Sword Sovereign was also extremely confident in her own Sword Dao.

Within a hundred years, she would certainly step into the Half-step Divine Venerate Realm.

Within a thousand years, she was confident of successfully assaulting the Divine Sovereign Realm.

SIGH...

Hearing her Master’s words, the woman in white sighed softly and then turned to depart.

At this moment, a long queue still snaked at the foot of the Jianyun Sect’s mountain. Countless disciples of the Jianyun Sect were busy attending to the cultivators from the major powers of the Daluo Region.

Dozens of li southeast of the secluded courtyard where Ye Yun lived, there was also a row of houses. Currently, two old men were sitting in a pavilion in the courtyard, drinking heavily. One looked dejected and was drinking incessantly in his frustration, while the other continually tried to console him.

Just then, a figure flew swiftly from afar.

”Ancestor, that person has arrived!”

This was a middle-aged man at the True God Realm Tenth Layer. He landed nearby and quickly knelt before an old man in a green robe.

”What nonsense are you spouting? Whose arrival has made you so alarmed?”

The green-robed old man took a sip of wine, his eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the man kneeling before him, and asked sternly.

”Reporting to the Ancestor, that mysterious white-robed young man who killed the Sect Master is currently residing near us, in the Heavenly numeral ninth courtyard!” the middle-aged man said with a trembling voice, his expression extremely agitated and his face flushed red.

When he learned this news, he had immediately rushed to report it to the Ancestor.

When this Ancestor of the Hegemon Sect learned of the Sect Master’s demise, he had been greatly enraged and immediately set out to find the killer. However, unexpectedly, that young man in white seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth, and they could no longer locate him.

Thinking that the Jianyun Sect’s Heaven Worship Ceremony was about to begin, this Hegemon Sect Ancestor had come to the Jianyun Sect to try his luck, hoping to encounter that young man in white. He was, in all likelihood, here to present a gift to the Jianyun Sect. And sure enough, his target had appeared.

The Hegemon Sect Ancestor shot to his feet, his expression savage, his aura surging monstrously. He turned and prepared to fly towards the Heavenly numeral ninth courtyard.

”Dao Brother Hegemon, this is the Jianyun Sect. If you make a move, won’t you incur the Sword Sovereign’s wrath?” an old man in red robes opposite him hastily said.

”This brat killed my Hegemon Sect’s Sect Master! My sect shares an irreconcilable enmity with him. Now that the enemy is right here, how can I not take revenge?” the Hegemon Sect Ancestor said angrily.

”Dao Brother, I once owed you a favor. This time, I’ll help you make a move. That way, the disturbance caused can also be minimized,” the red-robed old man sighed and also stood up.

”Excellent! Thank you, Dao Brother!”

The Hegemon Sect Ancestor was overjoyed. He had invited this Dao Brother, whose strength was comparable to his own, precisely because he intended to find a helper. Both of them were at the God Lord Realm Ninth level. If the two of them couldn’t even take down a mere God Monarch Realm fifth layer cultivator, they would have no face left to live.

The two God Lord Realm powerhouses quickly reached an agreement and immediately flew towards the Heavenly numeral ninth courtyard.

Upon reaching the entrance of the small courtyard, the red-robed old man suddenly flicked his hand, and over a dozen array flags flew out, surrounding the entire courtyard. In an instant, a large array activated, completely enveloping the small courtyard and preventing any aura from leaking out.

”Dao Brother, you are indeed more thoughtful than I am.”

The Hegemon Sect Ancestor cupped his fists and showed a grateful smile.

The red-robed old man smiled and shook his head.

With a flash, the two of them entered the courtyard.

”Whoever is inside, get out!”

With the protection of the large array, the Hegemon Sect Ancestor let out an angry roar as soon as he entered.

”Which blind fool has come to court death?”

Ye Yun, who was cultivating, suddenly smiled and abruptly opened his eyes. He pushed open the door and walked out.

In the courtyard stood two old men, one in green robes and one in red. Both were at the God Lord Realm Ninth Level.

”I don’t have many enemies in the Daluo Region. You old thing, you must be from the Hegemon Sect, right?” Ye Yun, with his hands behind his back, looked at the green-robed old man and calmly asked with a smile.

”You brat, still so arrogant when death is at your doorstep! It seems you truly don’t hold the cultivators of the Daluo Region in any regard!” the Hegemon Sect Ancestor roared, his vital energy and blood surging, and a vast, powerful aura instantly pressed down on Ye Yun. Simultaneously, with a flick of his hands, two Black Hammers appeared, making the Hegemon Sect Ancestor’s imposing aura even more astonishing.

”I killed one Kui Bull Overlord Body, and now another one comes. Are you all tired of living?” Ye Yun smiled faintly and drew his Silver Sword.

In the void, a thin silver sword light suddenly appeared without any warning. This sword light was unimaginably fast. In an instant, it landed between the Hegemon Sect Ancestor’s eyebrows.

The Hegemon Sect Ancestor’s eyes widened as if they were about to pop out. He watched, stunned, as that thin sword light slashed into his glabella; he hadn’t reacted in the slightest.

A red line appeared between his eyebrows and abruptly widened.

SPLAT!

A torrent of blood mixed with white brain matter gushed out.

Immediately, the Hegemon Sect Ancestor’s body split apart from the middle, and a large amount of blood erupted, dyeing the void red.

One sword strike, and the Hegemon Sect Ancestor had fallen.

Seeing this, the red-robed old man standing beside him felt all the hairs on his body stand on end, and an immense terror instantly overwhelmed him.
