Nan Zun's momentum did not diminish as he once again charged towards Qin Yun. However, Qin Yun had lost the will to fight. He immediately transformed into a streak of ghostly light and fled into the depths of the dark space.
His own proud divine abilities had not gained an advantage in the battle, making him realize that continuing to fight would lead to no victory. It was better to leave while he still had the strength.
As Qin Yun fled, Ju Que Zhen Xian released his pháp lực to envelop the cultivators from the Ju Ling Hall and escape into the distance.
Nan Zun watched Qin Yun's figure disappear into the darkness, a slight smile appearing on his lips. He did not pursue. Defeating a Nascent Soul True Immortal was easy, but without a significant power gap or absolute means of restraint, killing them was too difficult.
It was like the current Wan Shan Sect. Although suppressed by the Ju Ling Hall, they still stood tall. While Qin Yun and Ju Que Zhen Xian could defeat Dong Ji Zhen Xian when they joined forces, it was not so easy to kill him.
If truly pushed to the brink, it was not impossible for Dong Ji Zhen Xian to take one with him in death.
"Master, he escaped," Nan Zun said with regret as he approached Zhang Fan.
Hearing Nan Zun address Zhang Fan as Master again caused the surrounding onlookers' expressions to become extremely colorful. What kind of charm did this young man possess to make such an astonishing Nascent Soul True Immortal his disciple?
"This Qin Yun truly has some skills. It's already very good that you could defeat him so soon after entering the Nascent Soul realm," Zhang Fan said, nodding in praise.
"Daoist Nan Zun is indeed extraordinary. If I'm not mistaken, that Qin Yun has likely joined the Wuya Dynasty and obtained part of their Daoist inheritance. Even so, he is still no match for Daoist Nan Zun. This old man is impressed," Dong Ji Zhen Xian said with a smile, stepping forward.
"Wuya Dynasty?" Nan Zun's eyes held a hint of confusion. Then he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Could it be the Wuya Dynasty in the Wuya Star Domain?"
"Precisely," Dong Ji Zhen Xian replied. "The founder of the Wuya Dynasty was Daoist Wuya, a mighty being at the Void Returning stage. The Wuya Star Domain is also called a middle-tier star domain precisely because of Daoist Wuya's existence."
"That is somewhat troublesome," Nan Zun frowned. Involving a Void Returning stage mighty being made things a bit tricky. With this thought, he couldn't help but look towards his Master, only to see that his expression was calm and unfazed.
"What's troublesome about it?" Zhang Fan chuckled and shook his head. "What kind of vision do Void Returning mighty beings have? Why would they care about a mere Nascent Soul stage cultivator? Even if you destroy the entire Ju Ling Hall, would Daoist Wuya personally intervene?"
The greater the power, the stricter the hierarchy. Just like the wars between high-tier star domains, they were about soldier fighting soldier and general fighting general. One participated in battles at their own level.
How vast is a middle-tier star domain? If they had to intervene in such trivial matters, Daoist Wuya would likely have no time to rest for the remainder of his life.
"That won't happen," Dong Ji Zhen Xian shook his head. "Our struggles are no different from children playing in Daoist Wuya's eyes; why would he intervene? It's just that since Qin Yun could obtain part of the Wuya Dynasty's divine abilities inheritance, I fear he could also enlist the help of powerful experts from the Wuya Dynasty. That is the most troublesome part."
"If they provoke me, they should be the ones finding it troublesome," Zhang Fan said.
Dong Ji Zhen Xian gave it no further thought and cupped his hands in invitation. "You two are new to the Sui Xing Domain. Why not stay at my Wan Shan for a few days? Allow this old man to fulfill his duty as a host."
Nan Zun remained silent and looked at Zhang Fan, awaiting his decision.
"Very well. We have nowhere to go at the moment, so we shall impose upon you," Zhang Fan nodded.
Hearing this, Dong Ji Zhen Xian's old face broke into a wider smile as he led everyone towards the direction of the Wan Shan Sect.
As Zhang Fan and the others departed, the gathered cultivators gradually dispersed. However, the events of today spread like a storm across the various continents of the Sui Xing Domain, causing considerable commotion.
The Ju Ling Hall, which was at its peak, actually suffered a setback. Many cultivators felt a sense of satisfaction upon hearing this. Qin Yun, relying on his strength, had extended the Ju Ling Hall's reach into various parts of the Sui Xing Domain, infringing upon the interests of many, naturally displeasing many people.
On Ju Ling Continent, within a grand divine hall, Ju Que Zhen Xian and Qin Yun met. Both of them looked unhappy. Today, they had gone to Wan Shan Continent to contend for the spirit veins, and everything had been going smoothly. They never expected Zhang Fan to appear midway, causing the Ju Ling Hall to gain no benefits today and instead lose considerable face.
"After this battle, Old Thief Dong Ji will definitely try his best to win over Zhang Fan and Nan Zun. This is not good for our Ju Ling Hall," Ju Que Zhen Xian said with a grim expression.
Qin Yun remained silent for a long time, finally making a decision. "We definitely can't win by ourselves. I plan to seek help from my senior brother."
Ju Que Zhen Xian was startled. "Who do you plan to invite? Their appetites are not small. Most of the resources obtained later will have to be shared."
Qin Yun naturally understood this. However, in the current situation, this was the only way. If they didn't seek aid, the resources they had fought for on Wan Shan Continent would have to be given up for nothing.
"Let's invite Senior Brother Yu Jian," Qin Yun said after some thought.
"If True Immortal Yu Jian takes action, he might only be able to suppress them. Killing them will still be difficult," Ju Que Zhen Xian frowned.
True Immortal Yu Jian was a cultivator who had reached the peak of the Nascent Soul realm, his understanding of the Laws of Dao immensely close to perfection. His strength far surpassed Qin Yun and Ju Que Zhen Xian, but killing Zhang Fan and the others was still difficult.
"Not long ago, Senior Brother Yu Jian cultivated the Tian Jue Wu Ya Body to great completion. With this divine ability, there is hope of killing them," Qin Yun said.
"Cultivated a complete seventh-grade divine ability to great completion?" Ju Que Zhen Xian's eyes were filled with shock. Although Qin Yun also knew this seventh-grade divine ability, he had only cultivated one stance, and it could not be considered a complete seventh-grade divine ability.
Tian Jue Wu Ya was created by Daoist Wuya and comprised three stances: Fist, Finger, and Seal. Only by mastering all three stances could one hope to cultivate the complete Tian Jue Wu Ya Body and unleash the power of this seventh-grade divine ability.
"If that's truly the case, then it is indeed possible. I only hope his appetite isn't too large, otherwise, inviting him might not be worth the cost," Ju Que Zhen Xian still harbored reservations. After interacting with cultivators from middle-tier star domains, he understood what reality meant. Even among senior and junior brothers, it was impossible to get their help without paying a hefty price.
"En, I have a good relationship with Senior Brother Yu Jian, so he shouldn't make things difficult for me," Qin Yun said with confidence.
