#775 - Chapter 775: Not One Person’s Immortal World
Up in the sky, the clouds themselves launched an attack. Yun raised the Nebula Hammer high, bringing it down on the Demon Emperor.
Instantly, the entire Immortal Realm trembled twice.
The Demon Emperor was prepared. The grand formation he had just set up instantly activated its defenses, and with the addition of the demon sigils he burned, half of the Nebula Hammer's power was deflected.
The grand formation absorbed nearly forty percent of Yun's remaining power.
Only about ten percent of the power landed on the Demon Emperor.
Even with just ten percent of the power, it instantly slammed the Demon Emperor to the ground, leaving him unable to get up for a long time.
The Demon Emperor felt as if his internal organs had been shattered by the Nebula Hammer, with pain wracking every part of his body.
"You, if you have the ability, use your own true skills! Don't rely on the things of your ancestors!"
Although the Demon Emperor was beaten down, he was still very unconvinced, stubbornly glaring at Yun.
The Demon Emperor spat out several mouthfuls of black blood, looking extremely weak.
"Heh, you think I defeated you by using spiritual artifacts and magical treasures, right? Very well, watch closely. I can kill you instantly without using any weapons!"
Hearing this, Yun put away the Nebula Hammer, and with a flip of his hand, a palm strike carrying several layers of chilling air came rushing forth.
The Demon Emperor was currently using a provocation tactic. He felt that if Yun used the Nebula Hammer, he would have no chance of winning, but if Yun didn't use the Nebula Hammer, he might have a chance.
He endured the intense pain coming from his internal organs and leaped into the air, immediately throwing a Demon Fire Ring towards Yun.
Yun wasn't using it, but that didn't stop him from using it.
This Demon Fire Ring was also a Demon Realm treasure, one that he had obtained with great difficulty.
Once this Demon Fire Ring was released, almost no one could escape its attack, resulting in almost instant death.
Yun had long seen through the Demon Emperor's intentions, and he smiled coldly.
With a simple change of his hand, the Nebula Hammer came crashing down directly from behind the Demon Emperor.
The Demon Emperor didn't have time to react and was instantly blasted in the head by the Nebula Hammer.
The Demon Emperor's corpse fell from the clouds, landing in front of the Demon Cult disciples. Seeing that even the Demon Emperor had been dealt with, the Demon Cult disciples fled in all directions.
Inside the Violet Cloud Pavilion, Ye Ling sat upright, allowing the maidservants to arrange her hair ornaments.
After a moment, another maidservant entered from outside the door, whispering a few words into Ye Ling's ear.
As Ye Ling listened, she frowned and slammed the table, rising to her feet.
She exclaimed in anger, "What? Is what you're saying true? Who leaked this information to you?"
The maidservant glanced at Ye Ling cautiously before saying, "I overheard it from the Spirit Guard under Commander Xuan, which is why I rushed to report to you, my lady."
"They were still trying to hide it, as if they didn't want me to know!"
Ye Ling closed her eyes briefly, calming her anger before speaking in a stern voice.
"Summon Xuan here to me!"
The maidservant who had just entered sensed Ye Ling's anger and immediately bowed deeply before turning and leaving.
After a moment, Xuan returned with the maidservant.
"My lady, Commander Xuan has arrived," the maidservant announced to Ye Ling.
"You may leave first. Let him come in by himself!"
The anger in Ye Ling's voice remained undiminished.
Hearing this, the maidservant glanced back at Xuan, giving him a look of 'may you find more blessings for yourself' before swaying her hips and walking away.
Xuan bit his lower lip before steeling himself and walking inside.
"Clang!"
Just as Xuan lifted the curtain, a spittoon was thrown over, landing squarely on Xuan's forehead.
Instantly, crimson blood flowed down Xuan's sharply defined face.
Ye Ling was originally furious, but seeing Xuan like this, she couldn't bring herself to be angry. She let out a long breath and said, "Get up. Do you know why I've summoned you here today?"
Xuan shook his head and said, "This subordinate dares not presume to guess Lady Ling's thoughts. Please forgive me, Lady Ling!"
"Good for you, 'dares not presume to guess.' You should know the current situation of the Star River Sect, right?"
Ye Ling pointed her finger at Xuan's nose angrily and shouted loudly.
"This subordinate knows," Xuan stood up, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Then why did you conceal the information, not reporting it upwards, nor letting me know?" Ye Ling was very dissatisfied when she saw Xuan daring to speak to her like this.
"This subordinate dares not be dissatisfied with you. This subordinate only knows that the Immortal Realm belongs to everyone, not just Lady Ling alone."
Xuan straightened his back at this moment, looking at Ye Ling without yielding in the slightest.
"What do you mean?" Ye Ling was confused by Xuan's words and didn't immediately understand what he meant.
Seeing that Ye Ling was interested in continuing to listen, Xuan quickly knelt on the ground again.
He kowtowed to Ye Ling and said, "Lady Ling, please listen to this subordinate's words."
Ye Ling was indeed curious to know what Xuan wanted to say, so she said, "Speak, I won't blame you."
Xuan then slowly said, "Lady Ling, you always like to shoulder everything yourself, but in reality, the Immortal Realm can survive without anyone."
"The more you give, the less grateful the people of the Immortal Realm will be. They will only say that you are fond of power."
"Furthermore, many sects have the ability to solve their own problems. They can still do things well without our intervention."
"Our intervention will only increase their dependence on us, and many things will not be done properly."
"In this way, if we are gone one day, will our Immortal Realm become like that alien world?"
Xuan said what he had wanted to say for a long time in one breath, kowtowing solemnly to Ye Ling.
Ye Ling didn't express her opinion immediately after hearing what Xuan had said.
Instead, she gently touched the covered bowl in her hand, pondering carefully.
What Xuan said was not without reason.
But no one had ever said such things to her before, not Hong, nor Ye Kong.
After thinking for a long time, Ye Ling finally understood.
She looked at Xuan, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said, "Thank you for saying so much today. I think it's not without reason."
Xuan was also speaking to Ye Ling with a worried heart. Hearing this, he quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "It's good that Lady Ling has understood!"
In fact, when Xuan said these words, he was also feeling uneasy in his heart.
Because the current Ye Ling was no longer the Ye Ling of the past. The current Ye Ling held extremely high power in her hands, and as the spirit of all things, making him disappear silently was just a thought away for her.
"Am I so scary that the sweat is coming out of your forehead?"
After Ye Ling understood, she immediately felt that her mood had improved, but when she turned her head and saw Xuan wiping his sweat, she teased him.
"No, it's just that the weather is too hot today," Xuan said while continuing to wipe his sweat.
"Alright, let's not talk about this. Let's talk about serious matters."
