Chapter 590: At That Time, Neither Owe Each Other, Never Meet Again
Yun Qinghong hesitated slightly, but did not stop Yun Che. He nodded slightly and said, "In that case... Yurou, Yun'er, you go home first. Che'er and I will go to Jinwu Thunder Flame Valley together."
"No need!" Yun Che quickly waved his hand. "Father, I just can't help but want to go verify my own guesses and instincts. It's not like I'm doing something dangerous or urgent, so it's fine for me to go alone. After today's grand ceremony, our Yun family is definitely unable to calm down. Grandfather's remains have only just formally returned home. Everything is waiting for you to take charge. This is not the time to leave the city."
"But right now, Huai Wang Manor must hate you to the bone. The other prince mansions and those seven families also hold grudges against you. If you go alone like this... it's too dangerous. How about I go with you?" Mu Yurou said with full concern.
Yun Che knew they would definitely worry about his safety. He smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, it won't be that easy for anyone to detect my movements."
As his voice fell, he retracted his aura. "Flowing Light Thunder Concealment" was activated silently. In an instant, the profound force aura on his body weakened at an extremely fast speed, like smoke silently blown away by a gentle breeze. After just two breaths... it dissipated without a trace.
"Ah?" Xiao Yun's mouth fell wide open, unable to close for a long time. Yun Qinghong and Mu Yurou's eyes also trembled slightly, expressions of shock appearing on their faces.
"Ah... this... this... Big Brother's profound force aura actually... completely disappeared!" Xiao Yun's eyes widened as he let out an incredulous exclamation. Yun Che was clearly right in front of him, but he couldn't sense even the slightest trace of profound force aura... When he closed his eyes, he could no longer even perceive Yun Che's existence. It was as if the Yun Che standing before him was nothing but a phantom.
Even with Yun Qinghong and Mu Yurou's cultivation, they could only sense an extremely faint trace of aura, barely describable as a "thread." This was with them deliberately focusing their perception, and Yun Che only three steps away... With such a degree of concealment, they had no doubt that under normal circumstances, even if Yun Che were hiding within ten zhang of them, they might be completely unaware... despite both of them being at the Sovereign Xuan Realm.
Yun Che smiled and said, "This profound art is called 'Flowing Light Thunder Concealment.' It can almost perfectly conceal one's own aura with minimal consumption. Moreover, its concealment of profound force aura is definitely not forced suppression. Instead, it seals the aura within the body, having no interference with profound force. While concealed, one can strike with full power at any time."
"There is actually such an incredible divine technique in this world!" Yun Qinghong couldn't help but exclaim. With his experience and the heights he had reached, this was the first time in his life he had seen such a powerful concealment technique. At the same time, his worry for Yun Che's safety diminished by more than half.
"Since you insist, then go ahead. Be safe and return early." Yun Qinghong did not dissuade Yun Che any further. In just three short months of being together, he had already come to understand that Yun Che was not someone easily swayed by others. Moreover, he had developed an even stronger confidence in Yun Che than in himself.
"Father, Mother, rest assured. Don't forget, I have the Tianjue Cold Crystal Grandfather gave me. Even if I really encounter danger, with it, I will definitely be fine." Yun Che said with a relaxed expression.
Mu Yurou was still full of worry, but she no longer voiced words of dissuasion. She said softly, "With your concealment ability, going alone might actually be safer... Ah well, although Mother believes you will definitely not be in danger... I still can't rest easy. How about..."
"Alright, Che'er is far more formidable than we imagine." Yun Qinghong patted Mu Yurou's shoulder comfortingly, then stepped forward, raised his finger, and tapped it on Yun Che's forehead. With a flash of light purple profound light, he slowly withdrew his hand, and a clear image appeared in Yun Che's mind.
"This is the location of Jinwu Thunder Flame Valley and what the entrance looks like." Yun Qinghong said. "After you arrive, if the seal profound formation still exists, then come back directly. If the seal profound formation has disappeared... don't act rashly. Send me a sound transmission immediately."
"Mm, I understand." Yun Che nodded.
"Also..." Yun Qinghong hesitated slightly before continuing, "Although I have full confidence in your ability to protect yourself... even if it's just to keep your mother from worrying, send me a sound transmission every half hour. If I don't receive one from you within that time, I will immediately set out for Jinwu Thunder Flame Valley."
"Alright, I won't forget Father's words." Yun Che nodded again. He knew that no matter how much they trusted him, even after he had demonstrated the powerful Flowing Light Thunder Concealment, they would still worry... because they were his father and mother.
"Go." Yun Qinghong nodded with a smile. The two plain and light words reached his heart, stirring up a warm ripple that was hard to define.
"Father, Mother, Yun'er, I'll be back soon." Yun Che floated up, turned around, and without feeling any fluctuation of profound force, he was already ten zhang away.
"Che'er, be careful!"
Watching Yun Che's figure quickly disappear into the night, Mu Yurou's grip on Yun Qinghong's hand tightened unconsciously. "Husband, Che'er will definitely be... fine, right..."
"Don't worry, he's just going to Jinwu Thunder Flame Valley to confirm his own guess, not to fight anyone. His abilities are far stronger than what we see or imagine. There will definitely be no danger." Yun Qinghong comforted her.
"I know, but..." Mu Yurou pressed her hand to her chest and said absentmindedly, "But my heart is still beating so fast. I always feel..."
"Alright, stop overthinking." Yun Qinghong said with a smile. "Our child has been back for three months now. He's only been gone a short while, and you're already panicking like this. Don't worry, Che'er will be back before you know it. Let's go home and wait for him peacefully. Maybe he'll be back before midnight."
——————————————
To conceal his tracks as much as possible, Yun Che's speed was only half of his full capacity, but it was still by no means slow. Under the dual cover of Flowing Light Thunder Concealment and the night, Yun Che headed straight north following the direction Yun Qinghong had indicated.
"Why are you suddenly so concerned about that little demon empress?" Mo Li asked abruptly. "Is it because she's a beauty? Your lecherous nature is starting to stir?"
Mo Li's words caused Yun Che's flying body to wobble sharply. He roared in a low voice, "Of course not! It's because the little demon empress absolutely cannot have an accident. Otherwise, the situation in Yaohuang City will be turned upside down. The prince mansions and guardian clans that sided with Huai Wang Manor will be triumphant, and our Yun family will inevitably suffer extremely severe suppression. Before long, the Yun family may cease to exist... That cannot happen."
"Although it's just a guess, it could very well relate to the life and death of the little demon empress. I must confirm it no matter what. I cannot take even the tiniest risk!"
Although Yun Che explained himself with utmost seriousness, with reasons and logic, Mo Li's response was a disdainful sneer. "Hmph, isn't the fact that you've seen her entire body one of the important reasons?"
Yun Che: "..."
Yun Che knew very well that in Mo Li's mind, his "lecherous" attribute was something he could never erase. He decided not to argue and looked ahead, silently thinking to himself: Could there actually be... a tiny bit of that reason... after all, I took such great advantage of her that night... cough...
"I have some good news to tell you," Mo Li said indifferently.
"What?"
"The demon poison in my soul has been purified by exactly half."
"Half? Really!?" Yun Che's spirit jolted, a look of joy involuntarily appearing on his face.
From Yun Che's voice, Mo Li caught the unconscious joy in his tone. She snorted lightly and said, "It's been almost six years since I met you. The demon poison in my body is unquestionably the number one poison in the vast world, yet it took only about six years to purify half... Worthy of the Heavenly Poison Pearl. Hmph, if I hadn't been forced to act several times during this period, the time might have been even shorter!"
"Great!" Yun Che said cheerfully. "The less demon poison remains, the easier it is for the Heavenly Poison Pearl to suppress and purify it. From the poison invading your soul to purifying half in less than six years, the remaining half should only take two to three years."
"No." Mo Li squinted with a faint smile. "At the current purification speed of the Heavenly Poison Pearl, the remaining half of the demon poison will take only about a year... Of course, that's assuming I don't recklessly use profound force during this time!"
"One year?" That was indeed very good news. "So, you'll fully recover in a year?"
"Far from it!" Mo Li sneered. "In one year, only the demon poison will be completely purified! Don't forget, I am currently only a soul body attached to your life force and physical body! To fully recover, I still need profound pills above Overlord Xuan, seventy jin of Purple Vein Divine Crystal, and the Netherworld Brahma Flower... You haven't forgotten all of that, have you!"
"Of course I haven't," Yun Che quickly said. "What I meant was, after the demon poison is completely purified, will you be able to use profound force freely?"
"...That's right," Mo Li replied, her voice devoid of emotion. "Are you planning to borrow my power recklessly then?"
"No, that's not it," Yun Che said. "I was thinking, at that time, will you go find Purple Vein Divine Crystal and the Netherworld Brahma Flower yourself... since you're so powerful, you'll definitely be much faster than me."
"No." Mo Li answered coldly. "My soul body is not simply attached to you; it is connected to your life force. Before I rebuild my body, I cannot be too far from you for too long! Otherwise, my soul power will irreversibly weaken."
"That's good," Yun Che let out a small sigh of relief.
Mo Li: "??"
"I'm afraid that one day a year from now, I'll wake up and you'll have already left quietly. If that happens... I'll definitely be very lonely and sad." Yun Che said slowly, looking ahead.
Mo Li sneered. "Do you really think that sweet talk like this will work on me?"
"Hmph, after I fully recover, I will indeed leave immediately. But don't worry, I won't leave silently. Before I go, I will teach you my Star God profound arts, as I promised before... After all, I am your master, and you saved my life."
"At that time, whether it's the Huan Yao Realm or the Tian Xuan Continent, no one will be your match. You can roam the world freely, with as much prestige as you want, making anyone bow down as you wish, and have as many women as you desire... After that, we will naturally neither owe each other, nor ever meet again."
"..."
The night wind blew against his face, carrying a slight chill. Mo Li's words clearly told him: On the day she fully recovers, she can make him invincible under heaven... Those were four dreamlike words, but coming from Mo Li's mouth, they were unquestionably true. But they did not make Yun Che smile or show joy. He said nothing more, facing the night wind, heading straight north. Unbeknownst to him, he had already left the bounds of Yaohuang City.
