Chapter 694: Seven-Colored Robe? Tian Yun Zi?

Heavenly Marquis slumped in the Sect’s treasure vault, utterly distraught. Looking at the empty vault, he let out a ‘puff’ and spat out a mouthful of heart’s blood.

He then shakily stood up, gritting his teeth and shouting, “Yu Xian, if I don’t avenge this, my Da Luo Sword Sect will never rest!”

His voice was hoarse, filled with endless resentment and unwillingness.

He never expected that not only did he hand over the qinglin immortal order, but even the Sect’s treasure vault and his personal Storage Pouch were plundered, thousands of years of accumulation ruined in an instant. This was more painful than killing him.

He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, blood dripping between his fingers, yet a frantic flame burned in his eyes.

“Just you wait, I will repay today’s humiliation a hundredfold!” He stumbled out of the treasure vault, looking at the desolate scene within the Sect and the Disciples still prostrating on the ground, terrified. An indescribable humiliation and anger surged in his heart.

He knew that after this battle, the Da Luo Sword Sect had suffered a great loss of Origin Qi, and it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven to restore its former glory. But he would never sink into despair; he would accumulate strength and wait for the time of revenge.

Yu Xian and Qing Shuang did not kill Heavenly Marquis. After all, Heavenly Marquis was a servant of Extermination Elder, a fourth-step Sky-Treading Realm mighty figure from the Ni Chen Realm. His existence in the Immortal Cave Realm was an Incarnation of Extermination Elder, whose mission was to monitor Tian Yun Zi.

It would not be good to kill Heavenly Marquis and attract Extermination Elder.

“You seem to enjoy robbing?” Qing Shuang did not ask Yu Xian what he got from the Da Luo Sword Sect’s treasure vault, but seeing the unconcealable smile at the corner of Yu Xian’s mouth, she roughly guessed the outcome.

Her clear, cold voice carried a hint of imperceptible teasing as her gaze swept over the Storage Pouch Yu Xian was tossing and playing with, which clearly contained many gains.

Yu Xian coughed lightly, a look of matter-of-factness on his face: “Killing and arson lead to wealth… Heh heh, these things were probably also obtained by them through robbery. Besides, instead of leaving these resources in their hands to aid evil, it’s better for us to use them, which can be considered making the best use of them.”

He weighed the Storage Pouch in his hand, feeling its heavy contents, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

“Where are we going next?” Qing Shuang withdrew her gaze and looked towards the distant sky.

“Tianyun Sect,” Yu Xian said with a smile.

Qing Shuang nodded; she would listen to Yu Xian.

So the two then headed to Tianyun Sect.

Tianyun Sect is the number one Sect on Tianyun Star and a top power in the Immortal Cave Realm, founded by Tian Yun Zi. It was established on the Dao of Heavenly Fortune and the deduction of heavenly secrets, and is known as one of the two strongest forces on Tianyun Star alongside the Da Luo Sword Sect.

Sect Master Tian Yun Zi is the Artifact Spirit of the Boundary-Setting Compass and an Incarnation of a Heavenly Dao fragment from the Immortal Cave Realm. His cultivation is at the Great Perfection of the Nirvana Late Stage, and he is a member of the Cultivation Alliance Elder Council. He is the absolute Dominator of the seventh-grade cultivation nation, Tianyun Star, and the Sect’s foundation far surpasses that of sixth-grade cultivation nations like Zhuque Star.

As Yu Xian and Qing Shuang were about to reach Tianyun Sect, an old man with silver hair and a white beard suddenly appeared halfway. His face was kind and gentle, with fine lines at the corners of his eyes. He seemed to be detached from the world, but his eyes were extremely deep, as if containing the sun, moon, stars, Reincarnation, and Karma.

He wore a Seven-Colored Robe, with faint compass cloud patterns embroidered on the hem. Under the sunlight, it shimmered with iridescent light, and the sleeves fluttered without wind, exuding an inherent aura of immortal grace.

His silver hair reached his shoulders, and his white beard extended to his chest, trembling slightly with his breath. The lines on his hands were like old tree roots, with clearly defined knuckles, seemingly withered but containing abundant Dao power. His figure was lean and tall, not appearing old or decaying, but rather possessing the steady calm of being one with heaven and earth.

Seven-Colored Robe? Tian Yun Zi?

Tian Yun Zi came out himself? Did he calculate that they were coming?

“This old man, Tian Yun Zi, greets the two Seniors,” Tian Yun Zi’s voice was as gentle as a spring breeze. He bowed slightly, and there was no surprise in his deep eyes, as if he had long foreseen their arrival.

“The two Seniors gracing Tianyun Sect with your presence brings immense honor to my humble Sect. These are the items you require.” Tian Yun Zi said, without the slightest hesitation, and a golden light flew out from his hand, floating before Yu Xian and Qing Shuang.

Yu Xian and Qing Shuang looked closely, and sure enough! It was indeed the qinglin immortal order.

This old fellow really did calculate why they came.

“Very good.” Yu Xian smiled faintly and nodded. However, his gaze remained on Tian Yun Zi’s face.

After Qing Shuang confirmed the immortal order was real, she put it away, then looked at Yu Xian, as if asking if they could leave now that they had the immortal order. Tian Yun Zi’s attitude was good; he even proactively delivered the immortal order.

However, after meeting Qing Shuang’s gaze, Yu Xian turned back to Tian Yun Zi, looking at him with a playful expression.

Since he knew to proactively deliver the immortal order, he must have known about the Da Luo Sword Sect’s situation, and thus, he must have been prepared.

Indeed, after meeting Yu Xian’s gaze, Tian Yun Zi unhurriedly took out a Storage Pouch and made it fly to Yu Xian’s front.

“This is a small token of Tianyun Sect’s sincerity; I hope Senior will accept it.” Tian Yun Zi maintained his gentle demeanor, as if he was not offering the Sect’s accumulated wealth, but merely ordinary items.

Yu Xian raised an eyebrow, took the Storage Pouch, and swept it with his Divine Sense. Although the quantity of Medicinal Pills, Magic Treasures, and Jade Slips inside was not as great as the Da Luo Sword Sect’s, their quality was superior, clearly Tianyun Sect’s most prized possessions.

He weighed the Storage Pouch, and the smile at the corner of his mouth deepened: “You, Tian Yun Zi, are indeed a remarkable individual. No wonder you can become the number one on Tianyun Star; you are much more sensible than that Heavenly Marquis.”

Tian Yun Zi smiled slightly, not responding, but a hint of imperceptible shrewdness flashed in his deep eyes.

Seeing this, Qing Shuang knew that Yu Xian’s objective for this trip had been achieved, so she nodded slightly to Tian Yun Zi, “Thank you.”

“Senior is too kind. It is Tianyun Sect’s honor to be able to contribute a small effort for the two Seniors,” Tian Yun Zi quickly said.

“Since we have the items, we won’t disturb you further.” Yu Xian put away the Storage Pouch, his gaze lingering on Tian Yun Zi for a moment before speaking.

With that, he and Qing Shuang turned and transformed into two streaks of light, flying towards the horizon.

Tian Yun Zi watched them leave, and only after their figures disappeared did the smile on his face slowly recede, replaced by a look of solemnity.

He sighed softly, muttering to himself, “When did two such unfathomably powerful individuals arrive on Tianyun Star? It’s fortunate we didn’t become enemies… The grand array outside Tianyun Star should be strengthened.”

“That Tian Yun Zi seems decent?” Qing Shuang said after they left.

“Heh heh, just an old fox,” Yu Xian said dismissively.

“Hmm?” Qing Shuang was puzzled.

“If we had gone to his door, setting aside whether we’d have to fight, the losses would definitely be greater than what he proactively gave. And although the things he gave now seem good, they definitely won’t shake his foundation. It won’t be like the Da Luo Sword Sect,” Yu Xian explained with a smile.

Qing Shuang nodded after hearing this, realizing the truth.

“Now we have three immortal orders. Should we go directly for the fourth one?” Qing Shuang asked again.

Yu Xian was clearly also visiting this Tianyun Star for the first time, yet he seemed to understand the people and Sects on this Tianyun Star so well.
