Checking in for 100,000 Years

Chapter 1331: Chapter 1331: Ye Yun’s Choice

”Hall of War God, Wind and Cloud Pavilion...”

Ye Yun murmured these two names softly, his expression turning somewhat peculiar.

Two God Emperor Realm figures from another world would actually come to the Divine Mountain Hall, personally vying for him.

This was quite interesting indeed.

By temperament, Ye Yun leaned more towards the Hall of War God, but the Wind and Cloud Pavilion gave him a sense of kinship.

After all.

Both the name Wind and Cloud Pavilion and Ye Yun’s name contained the word ”cloud.”

Ye Yun raised his head, calmly glancing at Ning Wuque and Deputy Pavilion Master Xu opposite him.

This Ning Wuque had a strange yet handsome appearance, with a composed demeanor that bore some resemblance to his own temperament.

Truth be told.

Ye Yun didn’t particularly enjoy being with such people.

In contrast, Deputy Pavilion Master Xu had an eager-to-hire expression, appearing relatively normal.

Ning Wuque was also assessing Ye Yun, his gaze flickering slightly, thinking to himself: ”This kid remains so calm in front of us Divine Emperor Realm powerhouses, truly talented...”

Ye Chen felt proud to him.

This wasn’t something that this Hall Master liked very much.

Previously, there were also many proud Sword Dao prides who joined the Hall of War God and ended up being shaped.

All their edges were shattered.

For this Ye Chen, Ning Wuque also intended to do the same.

”Ye Chen, our Hall of War God is the most powerful combat force in this world, gathering all the monstrous Sword Dao prides. You’ll greatly benefit from joining...”

Seeing Ye Yun remain silent, Ning Wuque slowly smiled and said.

Despite his voice being as gentle as the breeze, it carried an exhilarating fervor that made Elder Duan beside him eager to agree.

Ye Yun smiled slightly, without speaking.

Deputy Pavilion Master Xu, anxious, said sincerely, ”Ye Chen, the Wind and Cloud Pavilion is also good. You should think it over carefully!”

Compared to the Hall of War God, Deputy Pavilion Master Xu couldn’t offer a better reason, so he could only express more sincerity in his tone.

”I’ve made up my mind.”

Ye Yun suddenly spread his hands, smiling and said.

”What did you choose?”

Sikong Ying, anxious, couldn’t resist asking.

”Wind and Cloud Pavilion.”

Ye Yun replied with a smile.

Even if the Hall of War God were stronger, Ning Wuque was unappealing to him, so he wasn’t attracted at all.

As for the benefits brought by the Hall of War God, Ye Yun was even more disdainful.

Is he someone who lacks resources?

”This...”

Hearing Ye Chen’s words, Deputy Pavilion Master Xu was both surprised and delighted, his throat choking, unable to speak.

He never expected.

That Ye Chen would choose the Wind and Cloud Pavilion; this was beyond surprising.

In all fairness, compared to the Hall of War God, the Wind and Cloud Pavilion paled in comparison.

But Ye Chen chose the Wind and Cloud Pavilion, how could Deputy Pavilion Master Xu not be overjoyed?

From now on.

Deputy Pavilion Master Xu believed that the powerful Lu Buqun would have a new rival, and given Ye Chen enough time, he would eventually catch up.

”Ye Chen, are you joking with me?”

Our Hall of War God is full of talent and Sword Dao prides, the benefits after joining are unimaginable...”

Ning Wuque’s expression froze slightly, then he forced a smile and explained.

”The Hall of War God’s Sword Dao prides are plentiful. Missing one is not a big deal. I’m not joking; I’m choosing the Wind and Cloud Pavilion.”

Ye Yun said seriously.

Upon hearing this, Ning Wuque frowned, a hint of coldness flashing in the depths of his eyes.

This Ye Chen was indeed an uncarvable deadwood.

He had already extended the olive branch, yet it was rejected outright, leaving this Hall Master of the War God in a difficult position.

”Haha...”

Deputy Pavilion Master Xu’s laughter resonated in the hall at this moment.

Ning Wuque’s failure left him feeling quite gratified.

For a long time.

They, the vice pavilion masters, had been suppressed by Lu Buqun, living in frustration.

Now that Ye Chen chose the Wind and Cloud Pavilion, it finally allowed him to hold his head high.

Thinking of this, Deputy Pavilion Master Xu’s eyes gleamed, and he announced loudly, ”Ye Chen, congratulations on joining the Wind and Cloud Pavilion!”

”Hmph!”

Ning Wuque’s face turned somewhat ashen at this moment, as he waved his sleeve and abruptly disappeared from the spot.

Sikong Ying: ”...”

At this moment, he felt a bit uneasy, as Ye Chen’s choice would surely anger Vice Master Lu.

Ye Chen would find it hard to advance in the future, facing obstacles at every turn.

Deputy Pavilion Master Xu smiled as he approached Ye Yun with large strides, whereupon he swung his hand, revealing a sword.

It was a god-level superior sword.

The slender sword body exuded a faint azure glow, as crystalline as jade, carrying an indescribable sharpness.

”Ye Chen, your sword’s quality isn’t great, so I’ll give you this Qinghong Divine Sword!”

Deputy Pavilion Master Xu laughed.

He waved his hand, handing the Qinghong Divine Sword to Ye Yun.

Ye Yun accepted it.

Glancing it over a couple of times, his face showed no joy, and he then casually put it away.

”Thank you, Deputy Pavilion Master Xu, but I’ve grown accustomed to my sword and don’t plan on changing it for the time being!”

Ye Yun smiled.

Deputy Pavilion Master Xu: ”...”

His eye twitched slightly, this Ye Chen, dismissing his sword, yet still took it.

Such a peculiar character indeed.

But losing a god-level superior sword didn’t matter much to him, so he didn’t dwell on it.

”Ye Chen, return to the plaza first. After the trial in the Bloody Murder Jungle ends, Pavilion Master Sikong Ying will personally announce the news. You won’t need to participate in the third round of the competition...”

Deputy Pavilion Master Xu counseled earnestly.

”Alright.”

Ye Yun nodded.

Being recruited early was indeed a great thing.

It saved the hassle of fighting through each challenge.

Deputy Pavilion Master Xu turned around and instructed, ”Sikong Ying, after the arena competition ends, take the four of them to the other world...”

”Yes!”

Sikong Ying’s expression turned stern.

Elder Duan came over, smiling as he looked at Ye Yun, ”Ye Chen, let me take you back.”

Ye Yun nodded.

Elder Duan conjured a beam of light, and the two of them vanished from the hall.

”I’ll head back as well, arrangements need to be made at the Wind and Cloud Pavilion.”

Deputy Pavilion Master Xu looked at Sikong Ying with a serious expression.

Then, in a flash, he disappeared from the hall.

”Ye Chen’s future days will surely be difficult...”

Sikong Ying gazed in the direction of the plaza, sighing.

He couldn’t fathom why Ye Chen didn’t choose the more powerful Hall of War God.

Instead, he opted for an unimaginably muddy path.

...

Ye Yun returned to the plaza.

The surrounding Sword Dao prides saw him return and appeared somewhat puzzled.

”Ye Daoist friend, where did you go?”

A black-clad youth standing nearby asked with a smile.

”Nowhere, just asked some questions.”

Ye Yun smiled slightly.

Asked questions?

The young man paused, scratching his head, even more puzzled.

...

In the outside world.

Within a mysterious secret realm.

Ning Wuque’s figure slowly drifted in from the distance.

”Wuque, how was this trip’s harvest? Any outstanding Sword Dao prides?”

A faint silhouette suddenly emerged from the shadows.

This person’s figure was blurry, seemingly both an illusion and reality, straddling the boundary between real and unreal, flickering amidst layers of light and shadow, both distant and near.

”My lord, this trip was certainly worthwhile...”

Thinking of everything that happened out in the world, Ning Wuque felt annoyed, unable to resist clenching his teeth.
