Chapter 0888 Qianyun Island Lord

Upon hearing Ying Chengyu's name, Qin Yun couldn't help but recall the last time this guy had brought a group from the Transcendent Mystic Sea, only to be soundly defeated by him.

"Did that guy call for reinforcements from the Transcendent Mystic Sea again?" Qin Yun was excited and laughed.

"Master, let's go take a look!" Lan Fengjin said.

Qin Yun nodded and followed Lan Fengjin out of the *Linglong Tower*.

On the way, Lan Fengjin also told Qin Yun that they had been using the Rune Souls very smoothly and felt great about it.

Seeing that they had all perfectly fused with the Rune Souls, Qin Yun felt relieved.

Ying Chengyu had always wanted to get his hands on Qin Yun's Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron, so he constantly pestered him.

This time, Qin Yun's reputation had grown even larger than before, and Ying Chengyu naturally couldn't sit still.

At the front gate of the Divine Armory Palace, a large group of powerful individuals had gathered, with Ying Chengyu among them.

Among that group were many elders of the Runes Hall.

Now, in the *Spirit Desolate Mortal Domain*, the Jian Family was the strongest. Even the Runes Hall's influence couldn't restrain them.

So the Runes Hall definitely wouldn't dare to pick a fight—at most, they were just here to lend support.

Ying Chengyu shouted, "Hurry up and call Qin Yun out! That guy made such waves in the Dragon King City—he’s got guts. He definitely wouldn’t turtle up now!"

Jian Linglong snapped angrily, "Who do you think you are, demanding Qin Yun to come out just like that? What makes you think he has to obey your summons?"

"Oh? What an arrogant woman!" Ying Chengyu sneered. "Since when did the Divine Armory Palace have someone like you? Bao Changshou hasn’t even spoken yet, and here you are, shooting off your mouth!"

Bao Changshou said, "She is Jian Linglong, the bearer of the Dao Lord Rune Soul and a core Runes Master of our Divine Armory Palace! To be honest, within the Palace, her status far surpasses mine!"

The group beside Ying Chengyu exchanged startled glances, as they had just encountered a woman who possessed a Rune Soul.

"We come from Qianyun Island in the Transcendent Mystic Sea! Near our island, there is an ancient dragon of immense power. Even with many Half-Immortals joining forces, we couldn’t subdue it! We’re here to borrow Qin Yun’s Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron!"

An elder clad in green armor spoke, his voice like frost.

"You should know what the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron is! Such an item isn’t something we’d lend out to just any two-bit cultivator!" Jian Linglong scoffed disdainfully.

"Insolent! Do you know who I am? I am the Qianyun Island Lord, a renowned figure in the Transcendent Mystic Sea! I’m not someone a woman like you can casually insult!"

The Qianyun Island Lord roared, "Bring Qin Yun out now! He must lend me the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron, or else your entire Divine Armory Palace will regret it bitterly!"

Bao Changshou and the others exchanged puzzled looks. They couldn’t understand why the Qianyun Island Lord was so confident, brazen enough to spit out such arrogant words right at the gates of the Divine Armory Palace.

Xian Rujing and Long Qiaofeng were also present, observing with cold detachment. They wanted to see how Qin Yun would handle the situation once he arrived.

This was the territory of the Divine Armory Palace, with Bingxing overseeing it. Anyone who dared to cause trouble here would face a world of pain.

Bao Changshou said coldly, "And what if we refuse to lend you the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron?"

The Qianyun Island Lord laughed loudly. "If Qin Yun truly refuses to lend it to me, then I’ll destroy the entire Immortal Armament City! Do I make myself clear?"

Bao Changshou’s face turned to ice as he turned to Ying Chengyu. "Ying Chengyu, is he serious?"

Ying Chengyu replied, "Of course he is! He possesses an Immortal's Heart Crystal. If detonated, it’s powerful enough to reduce to ashes the entire Immortal Armament City! Even if your Divine Armory Palace emerges intact, everyone inside the city will die!"

Jian Linglong laughed loudly, "What about you? There are quite a few Half-Immortals from the Strange Pattern Hall here—aren’t they afraid of death?"

The Qianyun Island Lord said smugly, "They are all my friends! If you refuse to hand over the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron, we’ll take you down with us!"

Qin Yun had arrived at the gate long ago but hadn’t stepped out, listening from inside.

Upon learning of this, he quickly took out a sound-transmission treasure and sent a message to Bingxing, informing her of the situation.

"Qin Yun, find a way to get that Immortal Life Crystal from him. It’s a valuable item—I have great use for it!" Bingxing said. "Don’t worry about him detonating it. I’m here!"

"Understood!" Qin Yun, now reassured, stepped out.

Ying Chengyu spotted Qin Yun emerging and immediately pointed at him, shouting, "Qianyun Island Lord, that’s Qin Yun!"

Qin Yun swaggered forward, looking utterly arrogant.

"I’m Qin Yun. What business do you have with me?" Qin Yun asked with a grin, eyeing Ying Chengyu and his group.

"Qin Yun, lend me your Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron!" the Qianyun Island Lord roared the moment he saw Qin Yun, his voice laced with dominance.

"Even if I gave you the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron, you wouldn’t be able to use it. Only those with the Sky Lion Totem can control it!" Qin Yun shook his head with a smile.

"Whether I can use it or not, you must lend it to me! Otherwise, I’ll detonate this Immortal Life Crystal and take you all down with me!" The Qianyun Island Lord pulled out a white pearl and waved it threateningly.

Seeing the white pearl, Bao Changshou and the others, their faces tightened, because it was indeed a powerful Life Crystal.

Bao Changshou urgently barked at those behind him, "Retreat past the gate!"

Ying Chengyu smirked triumphantly. "Finally feeling fear?"

Qin Yun sneered, "Go ahead and detonate it if you dare! Don’t think you can force me to compromise like this! You deranged fools—just blow it up already!"

The Qianyun Island Lord’s actions were truly infuriating—thinking he could threaten others with death to get what he wanted!

"Qin Yun, hand over the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron now, or I’ll blow up the entire Immortal Armory City! Countless people will die because of you!" The Qianyun Island Lord raised the Immortal Life Crystal high.

Qin Yun fixed his gaze on the Immortal Life Crystal, and his left eye suddenly turned completely white—his enigmatic Holy Eye!

Suddenly, a beam of white light shot from his eye, striking the Immortal Life Crystal!

Immediately after, Qin Yun’s body transformed into white light and shot forward.

Faster than a blink, Qin Yun blitzed forward, snatched the Immortal Life Crystal, and retreated, standing behind Bao Changshou.

The Qianyun Island Lord’s hand was still raised, but the Immortal Life Crystal was gone—now in Qin Yun’s grasp!

At this sight, Ying Chengyu and the Strange Pattern Hall group were utterly dumbfounded!

"Ah, I just recalled—I have a friend waiting for me in Immortal Armory City. See you never!" In a flash, Ying Chengyu vanished without a trace.

Soon after, the rest of the Strange Pattern Hall members fled like startled birds, leaving only the Qianyun Island Lord left stranded.

"Weren’t those guys willing to die with you? Why did they all run?" Bao Changshou jeered.

"None of you are escaping!" Bingxing’s voice cut through the air.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Those who had fled were suddenly yanked from the sky, crashing to the ground—with no warning.

The group from the Runes Hall and Ying Chengyu crashed to the ground, their bodies splitting open as they spewed blood profusely.

The Qianyun Island Lord was also driven heavily to his knees by a crushing force.

Many people nearby were watching.

Though they couldn’t sense Bingxing’s power, they were utterly terrified. Those Half-Immortals had been swatted down like mere insects from afar.

Xian Rujing snorted coldly, "Damn, a bunch of arrogant fools!"

She knew all too well how terrifying Bingxing’s strength was!

Qin Yun tossed the Immortal Essence in his hand and grinned, "Thanks for the free handout!"

One of the elders from the Runes Hall begged for mercy, "Don't kill us!"

"We won’t kill you! But you, the Runes Hall bigshots, must cough up the map leading to the Profound Domain!"

Bingxing’s icy, murderous voice cut through the air—light and cold, yet brimming with intimidation.

"No problem, no problem! We’ll give it!" the elder stammered in fear.

"And you, so-called 'Qianyun Island Lord,' hand over the nautical chart of the Super-Profound Sea. I might just spare your miserable life!" Bingxing added.

Soon, several of the most powerful elders from the Runes Hall each produced a piece of the map. Combined, they formed the full map to safely entering the Profound Domain.

The Qianyun Island Lord also took out a large disk—the nautical chart of the Super-Profound Sea.

Qin Yun stored the disk away, glanced at the maps, committed them to memory, and then handed them to Bao Changshou.

Bao Changshou would later share the map with Jian Shitian and the others.

"Now, beat it!" Bingxing said coldly.

Ying Chengyu and his group scrambled away like terrified rats, fleeing past the gates of the Immortal Arms Palace.

These were once high-and-mighty Half-Immortals, yet now they were reduced to such a pathetic state!

This only deepened the fear of the mysterious immortal within the Immortal Arms Palace.

After obtaining the Immortal Essence, Qin Yun bounded off cheerfully toward the Immortal Arms Hall.

Bingxing was already waiting for him there.

"Bingxing, what's the Immortal Essence for?" Qin Yun tossed the pearl over and asked.

"Within our Immortal Arms Palace stands the Soul Tower of Immortal Arms. That tower can supercharge one’s cultivation, but we can only access its lower levels… Xian Rujing, however, can open more floors! When the time comes, we’ll need the Immortal Essence as an energy source to tap into the power of the Immortal Essence!" Bingxing explained.

Qin Yun had heard of the Soul Tower before, but he never realized it was so useful!

"The Soul Tower of Immortal Arms was originally used to power-level soldiers. Only Xian Rujing can control the entire tower!" Bingxing continued. "In two days, once the Runes Masters channel the Immortal Essence’s energy into the tower, we can begin!"

"Of course, Xian Rujing will use it first to boost her cultivation—that was my promise to her. Afterward, others will fight for spots!"

"What about me? Do I still need to fight?" Qin Yun asked.

"You can’t enter. That was also part of my agreement with Xian Rujing." Bingxing sighed lightly as she looked at him.

"That Ice Tigress—I’ll bite her to death!" Qin Yun flew into a rage.

"She has other reasons for keeping you out of the Soul Tower, though she didn’t specify what they were." Bingxing knit her brows, equally puzzled.

"I’m going to find her right now!" Qin Yun stomped out of the Immortal Arms Hall, making a beeline for Xian Rujing.
