Southern Continent, Yinfeng Valley at the center of Yinming Mountain.
Thousands of hills and countless ravines, black rocks jagged, Yin winds howling, not a blade of grass grows!
Just at this moment, a cloud of green came from afar and landed in the valley, transforming into a withered old man wrapped in a green robe.
It was none other than Wen Yun the Curse King!
Wen Yun glanced around, not seeing anyone for now, and immediately shouted loudly:
"Gou She, I’ve come to find you!"
The dry, sharp voice swiftly spread in all directions through the intricate passages between the stone walls.
And soon, there was movement in Yinfeng Valley.
"Swish swish swish..."
If viewed from above, a gust of black wind could be seen roaring across rapidly.
After a short while, this gust of black wind arrived in front of Wen Yun, swirling and transforming into a slightly plump middle-aged man with small eyes and a furrowed brow.
"Wen Yun, why have you come?" asked Gou She.
Wen Yun said, "I’ve come to ask for your help, I need you to accompany me to the East Continent, to kill someone!"
Gou She raised his eyebrow: "East Continent? How come you have enemies there? Moreover, the East Continent is not our territory; if we cause a big commotion, it will likely attract interference from the forces there."
"Don’t worry, the one I want to kill is not King Level, it will not require much effort."
"Not King Level?" Gou She was taken aback.
Wen Yun immediately explained the situation to Gou She.
"So, that Nameless Sword Cultivator from Qixia Mountain who killed the Three Heroes in Great Wilderness Ridge and helped the Demon Beasts seize the Dragon Vein is actually an expert from one of the two major countries of the East Continent?" Gou She said thoughtfully.
Gou She had heard a bit about what happened a few years ago.
Now with the Earth Tribulation ongoing, even King Level experts occasionally pay attention to external matters and do not retreat into deep seclusion as much.
"Since it’s not King Level, and you’ve already arranged with the forces over there, you should be able to handle it yourself. Why come to me?"
Wen Yun said, "He is adept at Space Movement; I need your help to bind him."
Gou She, being a Third Stage King Level adept in the Wind Law, excelled in using the "binding" power of the wind.
Even when dealing with Space-type enemies, he could disrupt space with a broad application of Wind Element powers, thereby obstructing space movement.
"Is that so..."
Gou She appeared thoughtful; although killing a mere Burning Sun was not difficult, he preferred not to venture to other continents unnecessarily.
Activities of the King’s subordinates crossing continents aside, a King Level journey across continents, at this time, could be quite problematic if noticed.
"Don’t worry, I won’t let you make this trip for nothing." Wen Yun flipped his hand, revealing a wind seed that glowed like a firefly, continually spinning like a vortex, "You’ve coveted this Tornado Mad Firefly for so long, if you help me kill that person, it will be yours!"
Gou She’s eyes widened in surprise!
This Tornado Mad Firefly was a treasure containing Wind Element Law power that Wen Yun found in a Secret Realm.
If he could refine and absorb it, he could likely break through a thousand-year bottleneck in one leap to the Fourth Stage!
Previously, no matter how much he asked Wen Yun, he wouldn’t give it because Wen Yun himself also studied the Wind Law and planned to use it in the future.
Unexpectedly, now Wen Yun was so generous in offering it.
Gou She asked, "Really?"
"Really!" Wen Yun stated gravely, "I have only Jiu Hua, my only son... I must kill him!"
"Alright! I’ll go with you!" Gou She chuckled, agreeing immediately.
The two of them working together, dealing with just one Burning Sun, as long as they finish the task swiftly and return immediately, it likely won’t capture the attention of King Level forces of the East Continent.
Hearing this, Wen Yun’s eyes gleamed slightly as he nodded.
In reality, the reason Wen Yun was so concerned about Su Yuan, besides avenging Wen Jiuhua, was that he sensed a threat from Su Yuan.
Because Constantin had also "incidentally" informed Wen Yun of the monstrous deeds Su Yuan had accomplished over the years.
Now it was certain that Su Yuan would ascend to King Level, given his terrifying combat power and the powerful national support behind him, posing a substantial threat to Wen Yun!
Wen Yun didn’t naively believe that nearly killing Su Yuan would allow him to let bygones be bygones.
With such talent, whose strength was advancing rapidly, it was only a matter of time before Su Yuan came to seek him out, making it imperative to eliminate him promptly!
Therefore, Wen Yun was willing to part with the Tornado Mad Firefly, determined to bring along Gou She to decisively eliminate the opponent this time!
...
Western Desert coastal region, Yuantong Island.
On the island, led by Yang Yifeng, Ashley, Antonios, Situ Bai, Li Su, Teng Jinghua, and numerous other core members of Qingming Palace, including all members of Qingming Palace, were on the plaza gazing toward the high eastern sky.
Everyone’s face was filled with intense joy and anticipation because today, the Palace Master was set to return!
With the Earth Tribulation lasting so long, everyone had realized that their mysterious Palace Master was none other than the unrivaled combatant of the Great Flame Sky Patrol Division, the legendary Vermilion Bird True Monarch of the entire East Continent!
After all, Su Yuan had not even bothered to hide his name.
