Chapter 1048: Chapter 1048: Vast Sea Heavenly Lord, Long Time No See!

"Han Hai my dear brother, you’re truly the worm in my stomach..."

The Second Palace Master shook his head and chuckled, a smile of comfort on his face.

The Ten Thousand Monster God Temple has nine Great Hall Masters in total, who act as one when facing external threats.

However, among the nine Great Hall Masters, there’s both open and secret competition, their relationships aren’t exactly harmonious.

This struggle remains within a reasonable range.

It’s very rarely visible in the open.

The reason is understandable—the Ten Thousand Monster God Temple gathers various demon clans, and the nine Great Hall Masters each belong to a powerful demon clan.

Different races naturally lead to differences in thinking.

It’s normal for internal competition to arise due to a lack of unity.

The Second Palace Master had met the Ye-surnamed disciple the Ninth Temple Master recently took under his wing, but didn’t expect him to possess such a treasure.

A divine-level treasure with an artifact spirit, its value is something the Second Palace Master is well aware of.

Now that Palace Master Cang Ming is closed off for healing, even if he doesn’t try to snatch the treasure, once the news leaks, other Demon Hall masters might make a move.

Possessing this treasure could elevate his prowess.

After snatching the treasure.

As for that Ye-surnamed disciple, he could simply deal with him using some secretive methods.

Once Palace Master Cang Ming emerges from retreat, everything will have already been settled with no clues left behind, and he’ll suffer a silent loss.

Such events have occurred multiple times among the nine Great Demon Halls.

The Second Palace Master, being noble and highly positioned, naturally cannot easily take action personally to seize the treasure.

This Vast Sea Heavenly Lord...

Is a distant relative of his clan, they share a thin blood connection.

Both belong to the God Alligator Clan.

Vast Sea Heavenly Lord belongs to the Green Water Alligator sub-branch, holding a lower status.

Therefore, Vast Sea Heavenly Lord personally volunteered to lend a helping hand.

"Brother Jin Liu, I’ll go with the virtuous nephew."

Vast Sea Heavenly Lord nodded with a smile.

The Second Palace Master looked at his son and said with a smile, "Your Uncle Vast Sea Heavenly Lord has a God Venerate Realm Sixth Layer cultivation base, he will certainly avenge you for this arrow!"

"Thank you, Uncle Han Hai..."

The Jin-surnamed young man clasped his fists in gratitude, with joy on his face.

Next.

He left the Second Hall, quietly with Vast Sea Heavenly Lord.

The two raced on the way, a hundred miles from the Ninth Hall.

Ye Yun, drinking tea in his junior sister’s cave, suddenly raised an eyebrow and spotted the blue-clothed man beside the Jin-surnamed young man.

"Isn’t this Vast Sea Heavenly Lord?"

Ye Yun chuckled inwardly, taking a sip of tea.

This world is sometimes extremely small.

About a year ago, during the martial arts contest to win a bride in the Supreme Forgetful Love Palace, it was this Vast Sea Heavenly Lord who competed with Ye Yun for the Jade Heavenly Venerable. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

At that time, Vast Sea Heavenly Lord was defeated by Ye Yun, lost an arm, and was eliminated.

Unexpectedly, here he is in the Ten Thousand Monster God Temple again.

Now Vast Sea Heavenly Lord is still at God Venerate Realm Sixth Layer, and the arm that was cut off has long grown back.

"Senior Brother, that Jin-surnamed brat probably went back for reinforcements."

Gu Anran poured tea for Ye Yun, looking somewhat worried.

"And what of reinforcements?"

Ye Yun smiled casually, not caring in the slightest.

"Master is in retreat, and no one in our Ninth Hall would dare offend the Second Palace Master."

Gu Anran sighed.

"Junior Sister, you don’t need to be afraid; perhaps that Jin-surnamed guy didn’t even dare to report back?"

Ye Yun smiled, unfazed.

While speaking, Gu Anran’s expression flickered momentarily, as Ye Yun’s clone remained, his true self transformed into a ray of light and broke through the void to leave.

Outside the Ninth Hall mountain range.

The Jin-surnamed young man and Vast Sea Heavenly Lord were flying swiftly.

All of a sudden, a man’s voice rang in Vast Sea Heavenly Lord’s ear.

"Vast Sea Heavenly Lord, long time no see!"

"Who is it?"

Vast Sea Heavenly Lord was startled, urgently surveying his surroundings, suddenly seeing a white-clad figure standing in the void beside him.

This white-clad figure looked somewhat familiar.

"Come with me."

Ye Yun uttered and flew towards a nearby forest.

Vast Sea Heavenly Lord’s face became grave; he hadn’t recognized Ye Yun’s identity yet, but inexplicably followed him.

However, he didn’t bring the Jin-surnamed young man, only making him stay and wait.

"Strange, who is that white-clad figure? He seems very powerful, also at the God Venerate Realm!"

The Jin-surnamed young man stood in the void, rubbing his chin, pondering.

He was a hundred percent sure, the entire Ninth Hall had no such person.

And that Ye-surnamed individual didn’t match this person’s silhouette.

...

Within the forest.

Ye Yun landed, followed closely by Vast Sea Heavenly Lord.

Ye Yun set up a small soundproof barrier, slowly turned around.

He naturally appeared as Long Yunzi.

"Long Yunzi, how could it be you?"

Seeing this familiar face, Vast Sea Heavenly Lord was greatly shocked, his heart pounding uncontrollably.

This Long Yunzi, his swordsmanship is incredibly strong.

Over the past year.

He had been awakened numerous times from nightmares.

That powerful swordsmanship, he truly couldn’t erase.

"Long time no see."

Ye Yun looked at Vast Sea Heavenly Lord, smiling lightly.

"Your cultivation base has reached the Eighth Layer of Divine Venerable Realm?"

Feeling Ye Yun’s cultivation aura, Vast Sea Heavenly Lord was aghast, his mind in turmoil.

Upon first encountering Long Yunzi, he was only at the Second Layer of God Respect Realm.

It’s been just a year.

How did he suddenly advance to the Eighth Layer of Divine Venerable Realm?

Such speed in cultivation is truly terrifying!

"Defeating you in one strike that day, I was merely hiding my cultivation base."

Ye Yun chuckled lightly.

Breaking through six realms in a year is indeed too startling.

Ye Yun changed his explanation, claiming he suppressed his level, which was more believable.

"I see, you’re so powerful, it seems my loss wasn’t in vain..."

Vast Sea Heavenly Lord’s face went pale, murmuring.

"Vast Sea Heavenly Lord, how did you end up with the Second Demon Hall?"

Ye Yun asked casually.

"I..."

Vast Sea Heavenly Lord was about to speak, hesitating briefly, then shouted loudly, "Why do you ask? Do you have some relation with that Ye-surnamed young man?"

"That’s me too."

Ye Yun stated calmly.

"It’s you too?"

Vast Sea Heavenly Lord looked at Ye Yun incredulously, his expression extremely colorful.

How could a powerful Sword Cultivator of Eighth Layer of Divine Venerable Realm join the Ten Thousand Monster God Temple, apprenticing under a Palace Master Cang Ming who only has the Second Layer of God Respect Realm?

This is truly baffling.

Ye Yun saw through Vast Sea Heavenly Lord’s thoughts.

"Joining the Ten Thousand Monster God Temple, naturally I have my own plans, no need for you to dwell on it."

Ye Yun said coldly.

"I understand!"

Vast Sea Heavenly Lord immersed in a self-induced state, suddenly slapped his thigh, comprehending.

"What did you realize?"

Ye Yun frowned.

Did Vast Sea Heavenly Lord truly guess his motive?

"You’re after that Gu-surnamed young beauty?"

Vast Sea Heavenly Lord frowned, angrily shouting, "Damn you, Long Yunzi, you already have a Jade Heavenly Venerable from the Supreme Forgetful Love Palace, how can you still be so disloyal, traveling miles to come to the Ten Thousand Monster God Temple chasing romance?"

Ye Yun: "..."
