Chapter 1411: Divine Sovereign Giant Beast
As they watched Yun Che, who had been about to leave, suddenly stand there motionless, his aura also changing drastically, everyone's heart tightened. Huanyan City Lord asked, "Benefactor senior, do you have any further instructions?"
"..." Yun Che slowly turned around. His heavy expression and cold gaze caused sudden unease in everyone's hearts. He asked, "In the Yin Xue Realm, are there any Xuan Beasts at the Divine Sovereign Realm?"
"This..." Huanyan City Lord was stunned. The other city-guarding Xuan Adepts were also all confused.
In the Yin Xue Realm, there were only two people who had reached the Divine Sovereign Realm: the chief palace master of the Ice Phoenix Thirty-Six Palaces, Mu Bingyun, and the Grand Elder Mu Huanzhi. To this Huanyan City, a Divine King was already a myth-like existence. The Divine Sovereign Realm... was a level they had no way to access, so naturally they couldn't answer.
"There are!" Mu Hanyan replied. "Junior a few years ago heard my master mention by chance that the Yin Xue Realm not only has Divine Sovereign Realm Xuan Beasts, but there are as many as three. They are hidden in the Northern Domain, Eastern Domain, and Southern Domain respectively, and are the overall overlords of all Xuan Beasts in the Yin Xue Realm."
"But they never step out of their territory, and no one has ever seen them. The only one who discovered and knows of their existence is the Sect Master... that is, our Yin Xue Realm's Great Realm King."
Mu Hanyan answered very detailedly, then asked tentatively, "Senior Ling's visit to the Yin Xue Realm... could it be that you have heard of them and wish to visit this kind of Xuan Beast overlord?"
"..." Yun Che silently stared at Mu Hanyan... Do I look like such an idiot?
Those high-level Xuan Beasts almost never step into human territory, but at the same time, their territorial awareness is extremely strong. Visit? As a human, daring to step into their territory is directly equivalent to provocation!
"You all, leave quickly." Yun Che turned his gaze back and said coldly.
"Eh? What does senior mean?"
"Take Mu Feixue and go immediately!" Yun Che's face was frighteningly gloomy.
Mu Feixue: "..."
"This..." The crowd was even more confused.
Yun Che clenched his hands tightly, staring straight ahead, but found that the people behind still hadn't moved. He immediately exploded, "Don't you understand my words? Leave now! If you don't leave, then..."
His voice abruptly stopped. "Huff... it's already too late."
Boom!
The snowfield that had just calmed suddenly shook violently... Then, a roar that nearly split the sky came crashing down.
"ROAR—"
The earth churned, the roar shook the heavens. In an instant, all the Ice Phoenix disciples and city-guarding Xuan Adepts were shaken to the ground. More than half had blood oozing from their seven orifices, and those who were already injured had their wounds split open, vomiting blood continuously.
Yun Che immediately reached out, a stream of Xuan Qi protecting Mu Feixue's body... Otherwise, her injuries that had just been suppressed would have been fully split open.
"Wh-what's going on..." Huanyan City Lord's voice was trembling... unable to control the shaking.
Within the terrifying roar, a dreadfully overwhelming spiritual pressure descended from afar... It was a power completely beyond their knowledge and imagination, a thousand or ten thousand times more terrifying than the two Ice River Giant Beasts from before.
Mu Hanyan was half-kneeling on the ground, his whole body trembling, unable to stand for a long time. In his shivering, he suddenly remembered the question Yun Che had just asked, and instantly his pupils lost color. He exclaimed in shock, "Senior Ling, could it be... could it be..."
"This small city is quite lucky," Yun Che said while staring ahead. "It actually attracted a Divine Sovereign Beast. To make this overall overlord of Xuan Beasts leave its territory, it seems it's been angered quite a bit."
"Wh... wh... wh..."
Yun Che's words were like thunderbolts, startling all the Huanyan City Xuan Adepts so much that their souls fled.
Except for the Huanyan City Lord, in their entire lives they had never even had the chance to see a Divine Sovereign Realm Xuan Adept, let alone known that a Divine Sovereign Realm Xuan Beast overlord was hidden in the same snowfield... They simply couldn't believe it. What virtue or ability did the tiny Huanyan City have to attract an enraged Divine Sovereign Beast!
"S-Senior... senior..." Mu Hanyan's voice was still trembling. "If it really is a Divine Sovereign Beast, what should we... do... Senior... do you have a way..."
"...I don't have a damn way!" Yun Che said somewhat irritably.
He now increasingly suspected, 'Could I really be a disaster-bringer? This Huanyan City is so remote, so small, clearly a godforsaken little town in the Yin Xue Realm... And yet it attracted a Divine Sovereign Beast that left its territory!'
The power of the Divine Sovereign Realm... he absolutely could not forcibly resist it! He couldn't just risk his life to activate Biyuan Asura again.
Escaping would be easy, but... Mu Feixue, and everyone here, would surely die!
"You all try to escape as best you can," Yun Che took a slight breath. "Run as far as possible. Whether you live or die will depend on your own fate."
As he spoke, Xuan Qi burst out from Yun Che's body, stirring up a massive vortex.
"Senior, you..."
"I'll try to persuade it to retreat. If negotiations break down, at most I can only delay it for ten breaths..."
Halfway through his words, his figure flickered and appeared beside Mu Feixue. Ignoring whatever reaction she might have, he forcefully wrapped his arm around her waist. "The only life I can protect is hers. You all pray for your own fortune."
After saying this, he transformed into a flowing light as everyone stood dumbfounded, giving them no time to react.
If he used the Dun Yue Immortal Palace, he could save many people immediately... But, he had already done his utmost by helping. How could he expose the Dun Yue Immortal Palace for unrelated people?
As for Mu Feixue, since she had already become Mu Xuanyin's personal disciple, if she died, Mu Xuanyin would surely be saddened... At the same time, this could be considered some small compensation for having defiled her back then and damaged her reputation.
At almost the same time, a massive white silhouette appeared in the distant sky... The moment the white silhouette appeared, everyone felt as if the entire sky was pressing down, their fear magnified dozens of times.
"Senior Brother, what do we do?"
"Go!"
"But Senior Sister Feixue..."
"Senior Ling said he can protect Senior Sister Feixue's life... We can only trust him! Everyone scatter and go!"
"City Lord..."
"Go quickly!!"
Faced with a massive beast tide and two Divine Spirit Beasts, they would resist to the death. But a Divine Sovereign Beast... before it, they were all like ants. They couldn't muster even a shred of will to resist.
They no longer dared hesitate at all, nor could they care about the safety of Huanyan City. They fled at full speed... Only Yun Che, carrying Mu Feixue, charged straight toward that pale giant beast.
In their sight was a massive body over three hundred zhang long, several times larger than the Ice River Giant Beast they had just killed. Its body was pure white; if it restrained its aura and lay in the snowfield, it would perfectly blend with the entire pale world.
Sensing Yun Che approaching, it did not advance further, stopping in midair. A pair of deep blue giant eyes and the vast aura of the Divine Sovereign Realm firmly locked onto Yun Che... the human with the strongest aura.
Yun Che stopped with Mu Feixue, who was completely in a passive state, in front of the pale giant beast. In comparison, the figures of the two were incomparably tiny.
"You..." Mu Feixue tried to speak.
"Don't speak." Yun Che said in a low voice. He looked at the pale giant beast and said, "Esteemed senior, you are the sovereign of the Yin Xue beast race. Why have you deigned to appear today to violate a small human city?"
Boom!!
The pale giant beast swung down its massive arm, shaking the sky. Its voice, filled with anger, spread across the entire snowfield. "I have never infringed upon your human race, but in this past year, how many of my subjects have you slaughtered! Despicable humans! And you still have the face to question me in return?"
"..." Yun Che was momentarily speechless, wanting badly to retort: Are you fucking blind! It was clearly the Xuan Beasts that went mad and stepped into human territory first!
"Senior, please calm down for a moment." Yun Che raised his hand. "I believe senior cannot be unaware that your subjects have been appearing in large numbers with abnormal emotions this past year, leaving their territory, attacking humans. We humans are only acting in self-defense..."
"Shut up!" The pale giant beast roared. "Regardless of the reason, my subjects in this region have suffered losses of nearly ten million in just one year, and all of this is thanks to humans! How can I sit idly by any longer!"
"Then you must consider the consequences!" Since this emperor of the Yin Xue beasts had already stepped out of its territory, it was clearly too enraged to be calmed down by mere words. Yun Che's face suddenly turned cold, and his tone became gloomy. "At your level, you should know what kind of person the Great Realm King of the Yin Xue Realm is! If you make a move, she will definitely not sit idly by. When that happens... not only your subjects, but you too will be buried here forever!"
"Since I have already stepped out of my territory, I am not afraid of any consequences!" Yun Che's advice had no effect, instead making the pale giant beast angrier. "Our Xuan Beast race has suffered countless casualties, withering on all sides... It is time for you humans to pay the price!!"
This pale giant beast was clearly not affected by Crimson, but after countless Xuan Beasts rioted, perished, and gradually declined, it could no longer remain calm.
Having delayed for such a long time was already beyond Yun Che's expectation. When the pale giant beast's anger erupted, Yun Che's arm looped back, holding Mu Feixue even tighter, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, you won't die."
Mu Feixue: "..."
"Fine, since that's the case..." Yun Che narrowed his eyes. "Among those Xuan Beasts that were about to attack this human ice city, I killed the most, yeah, just over a hundred thousand. Heh... you only came out after they were almost all killed by me. I'm afraid you're just a turtle hiding its head!"
Yun Che's words were undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire for the enraged pale giant beast, causing a few hints of crimson to stain its deep blue beast pupils.
"Since you want to take revenge on us humans, then... if you have the guts, come and kill me first! Let me see if you have what it takes!"
Amidst the roar, Xuan Qi burst out from his body, and he shot out like thunder... heading in the direction opposite to Huanyan City.
The Ice Phoenix disciples and city-guarding Xuan Adepts who were fleeing at full speed all turned back at this moment, seeing a meteor streak towards the distance... They understood that this was Yun Che using his life to buy them time to escape, and their hearts were deeply moved.
Of course, they did not know that while Yun Che was indeed using himself as bait to lure it away, there was absolutely no danger to his life.
The pale giant beast became furious. It swung its massive claws, and the sky suddenly darkened. Countless glaciers appeared out of thin air, flying toward Yun Che, who had already fled far away with Mu Feixue in an instant.
But in the next instant, these glaciers suddenly froze in place, then vanished eerily. The pale giant beast, which was about to pounce, was also pinned down as if by ten thousand mountains, firmly fixed in midair.
