# Chapter 1419: Clash of Blades
Like a bucket of cold water being poured over his head, Yun Che's entire body jolted, and he sobered up significantly.
The softness that had been covering his face for a long time slowly moved away, and the captivating fragrance that was right next to him also transformed into a bone-chilling coldness that pierced his heart... Mu Xuanyin slowly raised her head to look into the distance, her half-closed icy eyes reflecting an extremely terrifying cold light, causing Yun Che, whose head was still buzzing, to tense up all over, completely sober up, and then not dare to take a big breath for a long time.
This was the first time Yun Che had felt such terrifying coldness and killing intent from Mu Xuanyin...
The voice that had just sounded should have been extremely distant, but it carried a terrifyingly overwhelming pressure. What was even more frightening was that this voice had clearly shouted the name "Yun Che"!
Yun Che couldn't help but be shocked in his heart. What was going on? He had only just returned to the God Realm, and he had made a complete disguise and concealment. The only ones who knew he was still alive were clearly only Mu Feixue and Mu Xuanyin... Mu Xuanyin would at most tell Mu Bingyun, and they would absolutely never leak this matter.
What was going on?
And this voice...
"Yun Che, you little brat, I know you're still alive. Get the hell out here immediately and accept your death! Don't force me to level this Yin Xue Realm!"
Another voice like thunder from beyond the heavens came, seemingly extremely far away, yet it shook Yun Che's blood into turmoil, and it took several breaths for him to calm down... If even he, with his strength, was affected like this, one could imagine how terrifying the owner of this voice was.
There were even more young disciples of the Bing Huang God Sect who were injured by this voice carrying terrifying profound force.
As his qi and blood calmed, Yun Che's brow twitched violently... He suddenly remembered where he had heard this voice before.
Four years ago, during the Mystic Divine Conference, during his match for supremacy with Luo Changsheng... he had heard this voice many times.
Luo Changsheng's aunt and master, the person recognized as the strongest under the realm kings of the Eastern Divine Region, Luo Guxie!
The God Conferring Battle was ultimately a battle between the younger generation. The elders should never interfere, let alone a supreme Divine Lord.
Luo Guxie was born in the Shengyu Realm, yet didn't belong to the Shengyu Realm, but her strength was terrifying enough to surpass all the upper Realm Kings of the Eastern Divine Region, and no one dared to provoke her. And her temperament was withdrawn; she would never go looking for trouble with others.
In the God Realm, "Gu Xie Immortal" Luo Guxie and "Sword Lord" Jun Wuming were the two living legends of the Eastern Divine Region. Both walked alone, belonged to no star realm, and were bound by no restrictions.
But, it was this worldly venerable, looked up to by all living beings, who, during the God Conferring Battle, in order to protect Luo Changsheng, in the most sacred, solemn, and least chaotic Zhou Tian Realm of the Eastern Divine Region, actually struck at a junior who was only at the Divine Spirit Realm... and it was a killing strike.
Even thinking about it now, anyone would find it deeply unbelievable. Many Divine Emperors were present, yet no one had time to stop her... because they, too, could never have dreamed in their wildest imaginations that a figure like Luo Guxie would do such a thing.
Perhaps the only explanation was that Luo Changsheng was the greatest pride of her life, and her protectiveness of him had reached an extremely twisted degree.
What was even more incredible was that her personal attack failed to injure Yun Che. Instead, Yun Che, using the remaining Heavenly Dao thunder in his body, heavily wounded her in an instant, right in front of everyone.
To Luo Guxie, this was undoubtedly a humiliation that no words could describe.
In this world, many people coveted the secrets on Yun Che, including Qianye Ying'er. But the one who hated Yun Che to the extreme and wanted to kill him the most was, without a doubt, Luo Guxie!
She hated him so much that, even though she held the highest worldly status, she would personally tear him to pieces!
If she knew Yun Che was still alive and was in the Yin Xue Realm, she would immediately come in person. This would surprise no one.
A supreme Divine Lord, the number one profound practitioner of the Eastern Domain, was heavily wounded by a Divine Spirit Realm junior in front of the world. Such a spectacle had never existed since ancient times. Such humiliation had also never existed since ancient times.
But the problem was...
Yun Che's teeth slowly clenched... If it really was Luo Guxie, why did she know he was still alive? And why did she know he was right here!?
Moreover, the Shengyu Realm and the Yin Xue Realm were far apart. Even at the limit speed of a Divine Lord, it would take a considerable amount of time to get here. Yet, he had only returned to the Yin Xue Realm a little over a day ago... She not only knew he was in the Yin Xue Realm, but she had known for a very long time!
What the hell was going on!?
"Master..." He looked at Mu Xuanyin, only to find her expression was terrifyingly cold.
A gust of cold wind blew, and Mu Bingyun hurried over, saying urgently, "Sister, someone has intruded, just outside the Binghuang Realm, and..."
"It's Luo Guxie!" Mu Xuanyin said coldly.
"What?" Mu Bingyun was clearly taken aback. Luo Guxie... although it was the name of a woman, it symbolized the name of the number one person in the Eastern Domain, carrying unparalleled deterrence.
"Is it really her?" The gravity in Mu Bingyun's eyes was more than ten times heavier than before. "But Sister should never have met her before."
"I remember her voice." Mu Xuanyin said in a low voice.
Yun Che: "..."
"..." Mu Bingyun's gaze froze slightly. "But, how did she know Yun Che was still alive? Yun Che, besides Feixue, who else knows you're still alive?"
Yun Che shook his head. "I returned directly from Lan Ji Star to the Yin Xue Realm using the dimensional stone gifted by Ice Cloud Palace Master back then. I never set foot anywhere along the way. Moreover, my appearance, voice, and aura were all disguised. I only removed them after returning to the Holy Temple. Besides Feixue, absolutely no one knows it's me."
As he spoke, he quickly reviewed the scenes after stepping into the Yin Xue Realm in his mind... Suddenly, his pupils shook violently.
Could it be...
No... impossible... absolutely impossible...
Yun Che's aura suddenly became slightly disordered. Mu Xuanyin glanced at him but didn't press him. Mu Bingyun didn't notice, her icy brows tightly furrowed: "The Grand Elder has already gone to negotiate. Sister, quickly seal Yun Che in a barrier. He must absolutely not be detected by Luo Guxie. Yun Che's death was a fact confirmed personally by the Zhou Tian Divine Emperor three years ago. Even if Luo Guxie has heard some wind from somewhere, she can't be certain. It shouldn't be too difficult to cover this up."
"No," Mu Xuanyin said. "As hateful as Luo Guxie is towards Che'er, given her status, if she hadn't received sufficiently certain news, how could she come here in person?"
Mu Bingyun's gaze hardened.
"Very good." Mu Xuanyin's voice sank. "The debt from back then hasn't been settled yet, yet she delivers herself to our doorstep... Very good indeed."
Yun Che: "...?" (Debt from back then? What? Didn't Ice Cloud Palace Master say she had never met Luo Guxie?)
Mu Xuanyin's words caused Mu Bingyun's eyes to shake violently. She quickly reached out and grabbed her snow-white robe: "Sister, what are you going to do? She is Luo Guxie!"
"Don't worry." Mu Xuanyin said indifferently. "Since she's here, I'll go meet her personally."
"Che'er, you come with me."
These words startled both Mu Bingyun and Yun Che tremendously. Mu Bingyun's grasp on Mu Xuanyin's jade hand tightened sharply: "Sister, what are you saying?"
"Hmph, since we're already exposed, hiding and covering it up is completely meaningless." Mu Xuanyin said. "Moreover, once he learns of the Evil Infant matter... do you think concealing him will still be meaningful?"
"..." Mu Bingyun didn't speak, her grip on Mu Xuanyin's hand slowly loosening.
Yun Che looked stunned. Evil Infant? What Evil Infant?
On the other hand, Mu Huanzhi had already personally led a group of elders and palace masters, rushing at top speed towards the source of the voice. The moment they left the Binghuang Realm and saw the female figure standing proudly in the air, their expressions all changed drastically.
Luo... Gu... Xie!
A person that not even his Yin Xue Realm, but even all the upper star realms, absolutely could not afford to provoke!
Mu Huanzhi forcibly calmed his mind, stepped forward, and said with neither servility nor overbearance: "So it turns out to be the arrival of Gu Xie Immortal. Such a distinguished guest, and we failed to welcome you from afar. Truly impolite. I wonder..."
"Spare me your hypocritical nonsense!" Luo Guxie's gaze was cold, and the moment she opened her mouth, it carried terrifying killing intent. And the only one who could stir up such killing intent in her was probably Yun Che alone. After all, he was the greatest humiliation of her life... although she had brought it upon herself.
"Hand over Yun Che immediately." She said coldly. "Don't test my patience."
Mu Huanzhi smiled bitterly: "Gu Xie Immortal, Yun Che is indeed a disciple of my sect, but he died three years ago in the Evil Infant calamity at the Star God Realm. This is known to everyone in the world. Could it be... that Gu Xie Immortal has been in seclusion in recent years and hasn't heard of it?"
Mu Huanzhi truly didn't know, and he was genuinely bewildered.
Luo Guxie slowly raised her hand, and in an instant, the wind and snow froze, a dangerous aura spreading between heaven and earth: "You are indeed not qualified to know, nor do you have the qualification to speak with me. Call your Sect Master out... immediately!"
Mu Huanzhi's expression changed, and he cautiously advised: "The fact that Yun Che is dead is absolutely true. Anyone in the Eastern Divine Region can testify. Gu Xie Immortal must have made a mistake somewhere, perhaps..."
"So noisy!" Before Mu Huanzhi could finish, Luo Guxie's eyes narrowed, and her palm suddenly swung out!
Luo Guxie's movement startled the Ice Phoenix crowd, and they all shouted in shock: "Grand Elder, be careful!"
Faced with a terrifying figure like Luo Guxie, Mu Huanzhi was naturally tense and alert at all times. The moment Luo Guxie raised her palm, his pupils constricted, and his body, like a spring stretched to its limit then suddenly released, instantly retreated.
Whoosh!!
A fierce wind swept past him, drenching him in cold sweat.
"You still dare to dodge!" Luo Guxie's expression darkened slightly... In terms of seniority, she was even lower than Mu Huanzhi. But his hurried dodge of her palm strike was seen as disrespect in her eyes, instantly igniting her anger. She struck out with a claw.
Slash!
A claw print instantly traversed space and stamped onto Mu Huanzhi's chest. The speed was so terrifying that even if Mu Huanzhi were ten times faster, he would absolutely have no way to avoid it. His entire body shook violently, his back bulged, his face turned deathly pale in an instant, and then he flew sideways like a withered leaf... dragging a long trail of blood behind him.
Mu Huanzhi was one of only two Divine Sovereigns in the Yin Xue Realm. The power of a Divine Sovereign was mighty and formidable, inspiring awe in all living beings. But the opponent he faced was a true supreme Divine Lord. Before this highest level of power in the current world, even a powerful Divine Sovereign was almost pathetically vulnerable.
"Grand Elder!!"
All the Ice Phoenix elders and palace masters were horrified. But at that moment, a blue figure flashed and appeared in the air. She reached out her hand and gently brushed it...
Instantly, Mu Huanzhi's flying body slowly came to a halt, and the violent, overwhelming force on him was also dissipated layer by layer.
Mu Huanzhi's face was pale, his entire body trembling... In that instant, he felt like he had walked a lap around the gates of death. He was very certain that if the force on his body hadn't been dissipated, his injuries would have been more than ten times worse than they were now.
"Sect... Master..." He knelt in mid-air, his body swaying under the trauma.
"Go and recover." Mu Xuanyin said with her back to him, her icy gaze locked onto Luo Guxie: "This has nothing to do with you all. Withdraw completely and do not approach."
"Yes." Mu Huanzhi covered his chest, his body lowering, but his old eyes were full of lingering fear and worry.
The elders and palace masters did not dare to disobey orders, but as they withdrew, they were also filled with worry and fear in their hearts... because that was Luo Guxie!
"So you are the Yin Xue Realm King, Mu Xuanyin?" Luo Guxie's indifferent gaze swept over Mu Xuanyin, a half-smile on her lips: "You do have a good-looking skin. No wonder so many Realm Kings can't get you out of their minds."
