# Chapter 495: Tianxia Diyi
As soon as Mo Li's voice fell, a gust of wind swept in from the north. Yun Che only saw a green blur before his eyes, and a tall male figure appeared in his line of sight as if teleported.
The man was dressed in green robes, his features handsome and extraordinary, his gaze resolute. His ears were three-tenths larger than those of the elf woman, and his entire body exuded a daunting aura. Even his two pairs of transparent cicada wings rippled with dense Profound Force. Seeing the elf woman, he descended from the sky like lightning and landed beside her: "Old Seventh, you're injured?"
"Big Brother, you've finally come!" Seeing the tall man's arrival, the elf woman completely relaxed: "My injuries aren't serious. Brother Yun is the one who was badly hurt…"
"Hmph!" Seeing his younger sister was unharmed, the tall man let out a long sigh of relief, then gave a cold snort and turned around. His gaze bore straight into Yun Xiao, fury rising from his whole body: "Yun boy! I knew it was you again! Lucky for you, Old Seventh is fine this time… otherwise, I would personally cripple you!"
"I…" Yun Xiao opened his mouth but didn't argue. Instead, he hung his head in shame.
"Big Brother! You're not allowed to say that to him!" The elf woman quickly grabbed his arm: "It's not Brother Yun's fault, and… and he was trying to save me when he got so badly injured. If you're not going to thank him, at least don't be so harsh!"
"Thank? Hmph!" The tall man's gaze darkened: "Did he not ask you to come out this time?"
"I… no, no! I secretly asked Brother Yun to come out. If you want to blame someone, blame me." The elf woman puffed out her cheeks, but she was clearly not good at lying—her shifty eyes and petulant expression gave her away.
"It's not Seventh Sister's fault. It's all my fault." Yun Xiao hung his head, his face full of guilt and unease.
"Since you know it's your fault, stay away from Old Seventh from now on!" The tall man said coldly: "If there's a next time, I'll personally break your legs! I mean what I say! Old Seventh is not someone you can match… Hmph! You're nothing but a foundling picked up from who knows where. Do you really think you're the Young Family Head of the Yun Family?!"
"Big Brother!" The tall man's words made the elf woman's face change dramatically. She glanced worriedly at Yun Xiao's expression and said angrily: "How can you say something like that to Brother Yun… If you keep this up, I'll never talk to you again!"
"Old Seventh, I… forget it, hmph!" The tall man realized he had spoken too harshly in his anger, so he turned his face away and said no more.
Yun Xiao's expression darkened. He bit his lip, then gave a bitter smile and shook his head: "Seventh Sister, don't blame Big Brother. What he said is the truth… But," Yun Xiao lifted his head and said resolutely: "But no matter what, even if you want to break my legs, I will never give up on you, Seventh Sister! This time, it was indeed because of me that you almost fell into an ambush. From now on, I will train hard. In the future, I will never let anyone bully you, so that your father and the others can feel at ease entrusting you to me."
"Brother Yun…" The elf woman's eyes were tender, already glistening with tears.
The tall man, however, looked away disdainfully. When he turned his gaze to the elf woman, it quickly changed to concern and seriousness: "We'll talk about the two of you after we return to the city… Old Seventh, what exactly happened? You sent me a sound transmission saying you were besieged by three black-clad men at the Overlord Emperor level? Where are they?"
The elf woman turned her gaze to Yun Che: "Brother Yun and I almost died at their hands just now. This Brother Yun Che saved us. If not for him, by the time you arrived, you would have only seen our corpses. You should thank him properly."
"You?" The tall man turned to look at Yun Che, his gaze suspicious. He had noticed Yun Che as soon as he arrived, but the Profound Force aura on him was only at the Heavenly Xuan Realm, and his face was unfamiliar, so he had directly ignored him.
Yun Che smiled faintly: "I am Yun Che."
The elf woman continued: "Brother Yun Che is about the same age as Brother Yun Xiao, but he's incredibly powerful. He killed one of the black-clad men with a single move, and the other two were scared off… and it really only took one move! Those three black-clad men were all at the Overlord Xuan Realm. Even when Brother Yun Xiao and I fought together, we couldn't defeat a single one."
The tall man's gaze swept over Yun Che's entire body, but his brow gradually furrowed. He repeatedly sensed the Profound Force aura on Yun Che, but it remained at the tenth level of the Heavenly Xuan Realm… and at that level, he could only be considered weak in the entire Yaohuang City. How could he possibly kill an Overlord Emperor… and in a single strike at that!
Under the man's probing gaze, he found that Yun Che remained completely at ease, showing no sign of being affected by his oppressive aura. The man was slightly impressed inwardly, then took a step forward without a word and suddenly pushed his palm toward Yun Che.
A seemingly casual palm strike, yet it created a shocking huge vortex in the space between them. In the next moment, that huge vortex instantly split into ninety-nine smaller spatial vortices, then merged back into one in an instant, hurtling straight toward Yun Che's chest.
Wind Profound Force?
This was a strike from a high-level Overlord Emperor, arguably the most terrifying direct attack Yun Che had faced since his birth. But he showed no panic and didn't retreat. He didn't even move his feet. He simply pushed out a single hand, a ball of Phoenix Flame burning in his palm, meeting the ferocious and unmatched Profound Force whirlwind head-on.
BOOM!!
The Wind Profound Force and the Flame Profound Force collided head-on without any finesse. Although it was merely the simplest kind of mutual probing, in that instant, space was still violently torn apart. The rampaging storm tore through the flames, and the raging flames scorched the storm. The air currents within dozens of zhang of the surrounding space were thrown into complete chaos by the wind and fire.
Yun Che and the tall man both took three steps back from the collision of storm and flame. They looked at each other, their eyes now completely different from before. The same two words arose in both their minds:
So strong!
Yun Che possessed the Dragon God's Bloodline and the immense arm strength granted by the power of heaven and earth, giving him a great advantage in head-on collisions. Even so, this close-range full-frontal clash with the tall man, without any tricks, had not given him the slightest upper hand… and this was without knowing how much force the other party had used.
The shock in the tall man's heart was undoubtedly much greater than Yun Che's. Because the Yun Che before him clearly only exuded Heavenly Xuan Realm aura. And according to what Old Seventh had said, his age was only around twenty… Just where did this person come from? Why had he never seen him before?
"Big Brother! What are you doing!" The elf woman scolded: "Brother Yun Che saved me and Brother Yun Xiao's lives. Instead of thanking him, you suddenly attack him! That's too much!"
"Hahahaha!" The tall man let out a loud laugh, clasped his fists toward Yun Che, and said sincerely: "Brother, please don't take offense. Although I am of the Elf Clan, I have a natural love for battle. Whenever I encounter an expert, I can't help getting itchy hands. I am Tianxia Diyi. Thank you, Brother Yun, for saving my Old Seventh's life. Our Elf Clan will repay this debt of gratitude with all our strength."
"…" Yun Che opened his mouth, momentarily speechless. He had seen arrogant people before, but never this arrogant. To call himself "Tianxia Diyi" (Number One Under Heaven) right off the bat! Granted, he was very strong, but that didn't mean he was the number one under heaven! Even if he was… could he not be a little more low-key!?
Seeing Yun Che's expression, the tall man immediately knew what he was thinking. He gave a wry smile and said: "Brother Yun, please don't misunderstand. I am by no means arrogant or conceited. My surname is Tianxia and my given name is Diyi. This name was given to me by my father—I have no choice in the matter."
Surname Tianxia… given name Diyi…
What the hell kind of naming was that!
Despite his best efforts to control himself, Yun Che's eyelids still twitched violently. He glanced at the elf woman and nodded: "I see. Then may I ask what your younger sister's name is…"
"Oh, she's the seventh child in the family, so her name is Tianxia Diqi…"
"Don't say it! Waa…" The elf woman's attempt to stop him was a moment too late. She could only cover her face in annoyance: "Blame it all on Father and his lousy names… Anyway, call me Seventh Sister! Seventh Sister!"
"…" Yun Che had to use unimaginable willpower to suppress his laughter. No wonder this Seventh Sister had refused to say her name earlier. The eldest was called Tianxia Diyi, and the seventh was called Tianxia Diqi… One could guess with their toes that the second through sixth were respectively named: Tianxia Di'er, Tianxia Disan… Tianxia Diliu…
He wondered if there was also a Tianxia Diba or Tianxia Dijiu…
In short, the top rankings of the entire world were all contracted out by their clan!
"Brother Yun seems rather unfamiliar. Is this your first time here?" Seeing Yun Che's reaction to hearing his name, Tianxia Diyi was convinced that Yun Che was definitely not from Yaohuang City. Moreover, for someone of such age and Profound Force level to possess such astonishing strength—if he were from Yaohuang City or the surrounding areas, he certainly wouldn't be unfamiliar to Tianxia Diyi.
"That's right." Yun Che nodded: "In my entire life, I've never truly set foot in Yaohuang City."
"I see." Tianxia Diyi nodded, then said sincerely: "Old Seventh is the most precious treasure of our Tianxia Clan. You saved her life, making you a great benefactor to the Tianxia Clan. If you don't mind, why not stay at the Tianxia Clan for a while? I've been quite free lately and can accompany you to explore Yaohuang City anytime."
Yun Xiao and Tianxia Diqi both showed surprise… They knew better than anyone Tianxia Diyi's status and position in Yaohuang City. They had never seen him so eager to befriend someone since childhood. But thinking of Yun Che's age and strength, they silently understood. With his level of power at such a young age, even in the entire Yaohuang City, he was among the very top. Although the Tianxia Clan was powerful in Yaohuang City, making a friend like this would only bring benefits in the future.
Yun Che smiled and said: "I appreciate Tianxia Diyi's kind offer. Brother Yun Xiao and I share the same surname, Yun, and we hit it off quite well. I've already agreed to stay at the Yun Family for a while. However, once I become familiar with Yaohuang City and know where the Tianxia Clan is located, I will definitely pay a visit."
Tianxia Diyi glanced at Yun Xiao and slowly nodded: "In that case, I won't insist. This Yun boy knows very well where the Tianxia Clan is. If you encounter any troubles in Yaohuang City that are hard to resolve, feel free to come find me anytime. Although our Tianxia Clan is not large, we still carry some weight in Yaohuang City and throughout the entire Huan Yao Realm."
Yun Che raised his hand: "Then I'll thank Tianxia…"
Yun Che's words suddenly came to an abrupt halt. He stared ahead, momentarily stunned…
Huan… Yao… Realm…
Huan Yao Realm!?
