Checking in for 100,000 Years

"Ancestor, we have no choice; the enemy is too strong."

Respectfully looking at Tai Gu, the black-robed elder chuckled helplessly.

"Who exactly dares to provoke our Tai Family?"

Tai Gu, who originally had his head lowered, slowly raised it at this moment.

Upon hearing their conversation, Ye Yun seemed to be pondering.

It seems that this trace of an avatar was also just recently granted to the Tai Family by Tai Gu.

Perhaps after emerging from the Mysterious Ice Cave, Tai Gu visited the Tai Family again, leaving behind a trace of his avatar to protect them.

This could be seen as a form of compensation in a way.

After all, over the years, Tai Gu devoured so many people from the Tai Family to stay alive.

Leaving an avatar before departing makes sense.

At this moment, Tai Gu suddenly lifted his head and immediately saw the young man in white across from him.

Such a familiar face was something he could never forget in his lifetime.

As soon as Tai Gu saw Ye Yun, his expression became extremely emotional, and he ran without hesitation to Ye Yun, kneeling down with a thud.

"Tai Gu pays respect to my lord!"

Tai Gu shouted loudly, his body trembling with excitement.

This lord not only saved his life but also saved the life of Empress Xuan Bing.

Empress Xuan Bing was his master, possessing such a powerful cultivation base, yet even she was not a match for this lord in the Mysterious Ice Cave.

Therefore.

Tai Gu harbored a deep reverence for Ye Yun from the bottom of his heart.

He did not care about the opinions of the younger generation of the Tai Family.

"My lord?"

Tai Luo looked at Tai Gu’s back, his expression frozen, as waves of shock surged in his heart.

"..."

The others in the Tai Family were also so shocked that they couldn’t speak at this moment.

The crowd appeared as still as statues, unable to breathe.

The ancestor of their Tai Family, a monument in everyone’s hearts, was currently kneeling before this young man in white.

It was truly surreal.

"Tai Gu, long time no see."

Ye Yun smiled slightly.

With a gentle wave of his hand, a force lifted Tai Gu.

"My lord, did these young members of the Tai Family anger you?"

Tai Gu stood up, gazing coldly at Tai Luo and the others, speaking bluntly.

Ye Yun shook his head with a smile: "It’s not that serious; your descendants of the Tai Family haven’t done any wrong..."

"Oh."

Tai Gu was stunned, surprised by the lord’s kindness toward his descendants.

He was so emotional, rubbing his hands together, not knowing what to say.

The next moment.

Tai Gu seemed to suddenly think of something, and he shouted loudly: "Seeing the lord, aren’t you going to kneel?"

Thud, thud...

Frightened by the ancestor’s scolding, everyone in the Tai Family trembled, their knees weak, and knelt on the ground.

Tai Rong and Tai Fei were so scared that they fainted.

Tai Luo kowtowed fervently, tears streaming down his face: "Ancestor... I am guilty, please punish me!"

At this moment, he finally realized that he had provoked someone he could not afford to offend.

Tai Gu’s face was solemn, and he did not speak for a moment.

He was waiting for the lord’s decision.

After all, this incident left the Tai Family very passive, and he had no reason or excuse to pardon these juniors.

"Let it be, let’s end this matter. Tai Gu, come with me..."

Glancing at the large crowd kneeling on the ground, Ye Yun paused for a few seconds before shaking his head with a smile. He left behind a sentence before rising into the air.

Tai Gu hurriedly followed him.

In mid-air, Tai Gu sent a sound transmission, warning everyone in the Tai Family to keep silent about today’s events.

Seeing the two disappear.

Tai Luo then stood up, appearing much older.

"Thankfully, the ancestor was here..."

He smiled bitterly.

If not for the ancestor, the Tai Family might have faced total destruction today.

...

Deep in the void.

Ye Yun stopped, casually setting up a prohibition around him.

"Tai Gu, did you come to the Tai Family after leaving the Mysterious Ice Cave?"

Ye Yun asked with a smile.

"Yes, my lord. I feel a bit guilty toward the Tai Family, so I left behind a trace of my avatar for them..."

Tai Gu said in a deep voice.

Ye Yun glanced at him and chuckled: "Your avatar is not weak; it has reached the Fourth Layer of the God Emperor Realm..."

"The Empress Xuan Bing granted me some power, so this avatar is indeed quite strong!"

Tai Gu chuckled bitterly.

"You and Emperor Tian left the Mysterious Ice Cave to follow Empress Xuan Bing, where did you go?"

Ye Yun asked calmly after thinking for a moment.

Regarding the stunning Empress Xuan Bing, Ye Yun also thought of recruiting her.

Tai Gu replied: "Empress Xuan Bing led us to the Holy Kirin Continent, where she recuperates..."

Holy Kirin Continent?

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun raised an eyebrow, unable to suppress a light chuckle.

Dragon Xuan is there.

Now, Empress Xuan Bing has also gone there.

When he goes to the Holy Kirin Continent in the future, he won’t be lonely; he will have acquaintances accompanying him.

"Alright, I’m leaving this place now."

Ye Yun looked at Tai Gu, suddenly instructing meaningfully: "Handle the Tai Family matters and do not disclose any information."

"My lord, rest assured!"

Tai Gu bowed deeply, then turned and descended towards the Tai Family.

Ye Yun nodded.

Then he tore the void and vanished.

...

Tianluo Domain.

Outside Daluo Sword Palace, by the straight avenue, grew a towering tree, and beneath the shade of the tree rested a youth in plain clothes, holding an iron sword, leaning against the tree as if asleep.

The gentle breeze blew.

Rustling the youth’s hair constantly.

Not far away, many people from Daluo Sword Palace looked at this youth with faces full of fear.

This youth’s cultivation base wasn’t actually high.

Just of the God Venerate Realm Fifth Layer.

But for some reason, he instilled fear in many people.

Ye Yun emerged from the void, flying towards the Ninth Spiritual Vein.

He did not notice the youth in plain clothes sleeping by the tree on the avenue.

After all, a cultivation base like that didn’t even count as an ant.

"Hey, that guy is back..."

The youth in plain clothes suddenly opened his eyes, glanced in a certain direction, and then revealed a mysterious smile.

He hugged his iron sword, slowly standing up, leisurely walking along the straight avenue.

He walked very slowly.

Seemingly waiting for someone.

...

Ye Yun moved quickly, just landing at the Ninth Spiritual Vein, when many junior brothers and sisters flew over from all directions.

"Senior brother, you’ve returned."

Yu Xiaofei approached, looking extremely excited.

"Senior brother!"

"Senior brother..."

Everyone gathered around Ye Yun, shouting with excitement.

"Why are all of you like this?"

Ye Yun was a bit puzzled, these junior brothers seemed aggrieved, holding it in their hearts, only to release it when they saw him.

The Ninth Master also flew over, silently standing aside.

"Senior brother, a guy came from outside and challenged our Daluo Sword Palace, defeating everyone..."

Yu Xiaofei said sadly.

While speaking, disciples of the other Eight Great Veins also flew over quickly, surrounding them from the outside.

"Who is this person?"

Seeing more and more people, Ye Yun found it interesting and asked with a smile.

"A Sword Cultivator of unknown origin, whose swordsmanship is very strong..."

Yu Xiaofei said in a deep voice.

"What’s his cultivation base?"

Ye Yun asked casually.

"Also of God Venerate Realm Fifth Layer, same as you, senior brother!"

Yu Xiaofei replied.

"Hmm, hearing you say this, this guy’s swordsmanship is indeed quite impressive..."

Ye Yun touched his chin and smiled.

"Yes, Ye Chen, even I was defeated by him..."

The Ninth Master beside him said with a wry smile.

The Ninth Master was defeated too?

Ye Yun’s heart skipped a beat, he looked at the crowd and asked: "Is the person still there?"

"Senior brother, that guy is on the avenue outside, holding an iron sword in his arms..."

Yu Xiaofei pointed with his hand.
