Chapter 591: Chapter 589: Lu Ye: Isn’t It Normal for Domain Expansion to Be Faster?
To say something that would make the famous Chen Beixuan actually return the Tianyuan Divine Fruit to him, Liu Yun was actually somewhat apprehensive.
After all, Chen Beixuan’s strength was, without a doubt, above Liu Yun’s.
But after spending so much effort, even stabbing his friend Xiao Jian in the back, if he were to just let Liu Yun give up like this now, he himself was also somewhat unwilling.
So Liu Yun gritted his teeth and still forced the words out.
"Elder Chen, I can swear regarding the Tianyuan Divine Fruit, if it wasn’t obtained by my own hand, I will never have the chance to reincarnate!" Seeing that Liu Yun was still trying to cover up the truth at this moment, Xiao Jian directly swore.
For someone like him who was already on the verge of death, never being able to reincarnate was indeed a vicious oath.
As expected, when he heard Xiao Jian’s words, Liu Yun’s face changed; Xiao Jian could swear such an oath, yet he himself could not follow along...
Because he really had done it.
If it actually came true...
In the cultivation world, unlike the mundane world, oaths really could, to a certain extent, be answered by heaven and earth.
Lu Ye looked over and saw Liu Yun’s face turn the color of pig liver, and knew that ninety-nine percent of what Xiao Jian had said was true.
"Do you have anything else you want to say?" Thus, Lu Ye nodded, accepted the payment Xiao Jian had given him, and asked.
By this time, Xiao Jian’s breath was already as weak as gossamer; his desperate flight just now had further drained his origin Life Force.
Hearing Lu Ye’s question, Xiao Jian let out a bitter laugh, shook his head, and said, "To be able to invite Elder Chen to kill this thief is already enough."
"It’s just that I have a Dao companion, who now only has Innate Realm cultivation, living in An State of Yun Province. Because her strength isn’t high and her looks aren’t great, she’s often bullied. I’m a bit worried. If Elder Chen goes to Yun Province later, if it’s convenient, I hope you can help take a look... at how she’s doing."
"I’ve already used a Communication Jade Token to briefly exchange messages with her..."
After saying that, Xiao Jian used the last bit of his strength to turn his head and stare deathly at Liu Yun. That gaze was incomparably sharp, making Liu Yun feel a chill creep up his spine.
In the next instant, Xiao Jian simply fell, but he stubbornly kept his eyes wide open, still staring at Liu Yun as his body slowly toppled over.
"Hehe... Elder Chen, this is all just Xiao Jian’s one-sided story, it can’t be taken as fact. But since Elder Chen is interested in the Tianyuan Divine Fruit as well, then I won’t take it."
At this time, Liu Yun gave two dry laughs, and his form of address had quietly changed.
"I, Liu, still have some matters to attend to, so I won’t stay here any longer. I’ll take my leave..."
After speaking, Liu Yun directly tried to leave.
"Did I say you could go?"
Just then, a faint voice sounded in Liu Yun’s ear, instantly making his whole body tense up.
Turning his head rather stiffly, Liu Yun forced a smile and said, "Elder Chen, is there something else?"
At this moment, Liu Yun had already secretly activated a defensive cauldron of Lower Grade True Artifact level within his Storage Ring, ready to summon it out at any time.
At the same time, he had also established a connection with the life-saving Talisman in the Storage Ring that could instantly teleport him nearly a thousand miles.
You couldn’t really blame Liu Yun, a Earth Realm Seventh Layer cultivator, for being this cowardly; it was simply that Chen Beixuan’s name... was too terrifying!
Even with these two preparations, using the defensive cauldron to forcibly take a blow from Chen Beixuan if he really struck, borrowing the force to be blasted away, then activating the Talisman to tear open the void, Liu Yun still felt it might not be enough.
However, in a short time, Liu Yun couldn’t come up with any other backup plans.
"I accepted the task he gave me; naturally, I have to see it done." Lu Ye said calmly.
"Elder Chen, you must be joking. With your reputation, there’s no need to wade into such muddy waters. What he said isn’t necessarily true."
His mind racing rapidly, Liu Yun deliberately played mysterious, trying to instill some hesitation in Lu Ye.
But Lu Ye had no intention of wasting more time on Liu Yun; he could also see that this man seemed to have already prepared some contingencies.
However, Lu Ye didn’t care.
Lu Ye stopped speaking, stretched out a hand... and Liu Yun, several hundred meters away, suddenly discovered that he had lost control of his own body!
At the same time, a feeling of imminent death instantly shrouded him.
This scene shocked Liu Yun; worthy indeed of being the Chen Beixuan who could make a name for himself again even in the Mist Heaven Hall where experts gathered...
Truly terrifying!
Liu Yun couldn’t spare a thought for anything else and directly summoned out a large, rust-covered cauldron that instantly enveloped him.
At the same time, he struggled desperately against that binding force and immediately took out the teleportation Talisman.
Though he harbored deep resentment toward Chen Beixuan’s attack, Liu Yun didn’t even have time to spit harsh words at this moment; he only wanted to activate the teleportation Talisman and escape.
Seeing this, Lu Ye’s expression didn’t change in the slightest.
After having gone through several instances of people using teleportation-type items to flee, Lu Ye already had measures against this move.
The power of the Seven-star Realm Domain instantly spread out, and in just the span of a breath, it locked down the stretch of air several hundred meters away where Liu Yun was.
The surrounding space, under Lu Ye’s deliberate control, became incomparably solid.
Under such circumstances, unless one could break out of Lu Ye’s Domain control range, or their life-saving technique inherently possessed the nature of breaking Domains...
Otherwise, any escape arts or Secret Techniques involving this aspect would fail.
Sure enough, in the next second, Liu Yun used the time bought by the Lower Grade True Artifact cauldron’s defense to activate the teleportation Talisman, yet after using it...
He discovered he was still in the same place?!
Wasn’t the Talisman supposed to open up a teleportation channel and instantly send him to some random location within a thousand miles?!
In the blink of an eye, Liu Yun sensed that the space around him had become abnormal.
It was as if many layers of gravity had suddenly appeared around his body, making it hard for him to even move.
Of course, compared to the Law Gravity at the location where the Illusory God Flower grew in the Mist Heaven Hall, there was naturally a big difference, but it was more than enough to severely restrict someone like Liu Yun at Earth Realm Seventh Layer.
"How can your Domain spread this fast?!"
Liu Yun wasn’t surprised that Chen Beixuan possessed a Domain.
What shocked him was how this Domain could instantly spread several hundred meters and reach the space he occupied?!
Other people’s Domains, for the most part, had a traceable rate of expansion. Who had ever seen one instantly blanket such a large area??
At this, Lu Ye merely shook his head. His Spiritual Power was stronger than that of most Celestial Realm Sixth Layer cultivators; wasn’t it normal for his Domain to unfold a little faster?
Once he finished digesting that Illusory God Flower, even Celestial Realm Seventh or Eighth Layer cultivators probably wouldn’t be his match in terms of Spiritual Power.
Watching his carefully laid plans crumble in an instant, Liu Yun was completely panicked now.
After all, the aura of death was right before his eyes. With his strength, if he didn’t die, he could still live quite comfortably even in Yun Province.
