Wen Yun and Ye Shubai did not dare to linger any longer in the sea of clouds, because Master Su Yuan was still fighting desperately with Elder Zhang above, and they had to rescue him as soon as possible.
However, when the two of them really reached the void, the scene they saw was very different from what they had imagined...
Su Yuan Zhenren was neither injured nor killed. On the contrary, he was riding on the back of the little fire dragon and patting its head with a smile, coaxing: "Old Ancestor, I am exhausted. Please carry me back to the city."
Charmander was not convinced: "I am the hero who decided the outcome of the battle. How can you sit on me so casually? This is an insult to our dragon clan!"
Master Su Yuan immediately pulled out a handful of beautiful gems from his pocket, held them in his hand, weighed them with a smile, and snorted, "Why? It would be unfair to you, little dragon, to let the ancestor sit for a while?"
"No!" The little fire dragon's eyes widened. The color and texture of these gems were of the highest quality that it had ever seen in its life. Even in its dragon cave that was filled with gems, it could not find such good things. It didn't know where the old swordsman had collected them from.
Faced with such temptation, the nobility of the dragon race means nothing!
The little dragon no longer complained and shouted excitedly: "You can insult me as much as you want!"
Wen Yun and Ye Shubai who just flew up: "..."
Wen Yun's eyes fell on the red fire gem that the little fire dragon had taken away. After taking a look, he exclaimed, "Senior, this gem looks extraordinary. I wonder where you found it from?"
"There are many extraordinary things." Master Su Yuan waved at Wen Yun, looking very proud: "Come and take a look, are these more powerful?"
He waved his hand, and a large number of magic weapons and spiritual stones shining brightly were displayed.
Ye Shubai only looked at them for a while before recognizing their origins: "Is this something from the Dongxuan Sect?"
When Ye Shubai was fighting with Shang Wuyang, Elder Zhang took out a lot of magic weapons to attack him, so he naturally recognized him at a glance.
"That's right." Master Su Yuan nodded with a smile and said, "Shang Wuyang doesn't know much about worldly affairs and only likes to use swords. When he comes out to train, all kinds of chores are handled by the guardian elders, so all the magic weapons and source crystals are kept by the guardian elders for him. The ordinary disciples of Dongxuan Sect also live a tight life, but the treatment of these geniuses is frighteningly generous. It took me a long time just to count these things just now. Wow, you don't know until you see it, the source crystals alone are enough for a small or medium-sized sect to spend a whole year!"
"So this was robbed from Elder Zhang?"
Wen Yun looked around but didn't see the victim. He wondered, "Where is he? Did you kill him?"
"Hey, I promised him to buy my life with money, how could I do such an unethical thing?" Su Yuan Zhenren raised his gray eyebrows and pointed back casually: "Look, isn't the person right there?"
Wen Yun turned around and indeed found the arrogant guardian elder of Dongxuan Sect on the tail of the little fire dragon.
I don't know whether it was Master Suyuan or Charmander who did something immoral, but the other party was now tied to Charmander's tail. The dragon sometimes flew high and sometimes dived, and he was forced to enjoy the excitement.
Elder Zhang had been stripped naked by Master Su Yuan, leaving only a pair of underwear on his body. At this moment, he had a look of despair on his face, and couldn't even utter a harsh word. Of course, the reason why he didn't speak was not because he finally gave in, but because a piece of gray-black cloth was stuffed in his mouth.
If Wen Yun was not mistaken... this piece of cloth looked like a sock no matter how you looked at it.
Ugh, so disgusting.
Wen Yun didn't want to watch this scene anymore, so he quickly turned around and suggested, "Since we've captured him, why not use him as a hostage? If Dong Xuan sends someone to take revenge, we can just put him up there?"
"Don't even think about it." Master Su Yuan rolled his eyes. "The Dongxuan Sect is the most realistic. They will definitely not waste their efforts to save such a shameful abandoned child."
After these words were spoken, even Elder Zhang, who was tied to the dragon's tail, looked pale.
Because he knew that what Master Su Yuan said was true. The Dongxuan Sect would never waste its energy and resources on useless people, and even Shang Wuyang was no exception.
Now that Shang Wuyang has been deposed, he, as the guardian elder, has failed to fulfill his mission of protection. Even if this group of lowly people from the lower realm do not kill him, he can no longer return to the Dongxuan Sect. He is afraid that he can only betray the sect like Master Su Yuan, and spend the rest of his life running for his life in fear.
Therefore, the ones who were most afraid of being approached by the Dongxuan Sect were not Wen Yun and his group, but Elder Zhang and his three companions. They wanted to suppress the news of Shang Wuyang's uncertain life and death more than anyone else!
Obviously, Master Su Yuan was a sinister person. He knew very well what would happen to Elder Zhang in the future, so he had no intention of killing him at all. Instead, he took him back to Yunhai City.
"Bang!"
The little fire dragon simply flicked its tail, and Elder Zhang was thrown into the Yunhai City in a miserable state.
The crowd of onlookers who had come to watch the excitement had not yet left. They looked at the scene with astonishment. Someone recognized Elder Zhang and exclaimed, "Isn't this the old elder from the Dongxuan Sect?"
"He was so arrogant before, but now he's like this...Did he get beaten?"
Master Su Yuan walked up to the silver-armored guard, bowed, and said righteously, "My fellow Taoists, this man just took advantage of the chaos in the city to attack me. According to the rules of Yunhai City, I don't know how to deal with him?"
Elder Zhang glared at him angrily. He had just attacked Ye Shubai, so when had he ever attacked Su Yuan
However, Dongxuan Sect's behavior over the past month had already displeased the cultivators in Yunhai City, and someone immediately stepped forward to testify: "Yes, I saw him sneak attack with my own eyes, it was too unethical!"
The silver-armored guards didn't listen to the nonsense of this group of cultivators who were not afraid of trouble. They just looked at Elder Zhang coldly. After a while, one of their leaders stood up and said in a deep voice: "Three fellow Taoists from Dongxuan, Yunhai City can no longer tolerate you. You should leave quickly."
Mi Yan and Yi Zi Mei realized that they were in trouble after seeing the miserable state of Elder Zhang. After waiting for a while, they still didn't see Shang Wuyang. Instead, they saw Ye Shubai who was being hunted standing there. They felt a chill in their hearts.
Elder Zhang would be in big trouble if he failed to protect Shang Wuyang, let alone ordinary disciples like them? Not to mention that they would have to work as chores when they return to the sect, they might not even have the chance to do chores, and they might even die under the punishment of the Discipline Hall. I thought that following Master Shang out was a rare and good job, but who could have expected that it would be so tragic!
If they hid in Yunhai City, they would certainly be protected by the rules here, but Shang Wuyang had killed too many people before, and now Shang Wuyang was missing, so the relatives and friends of the dead naturally blamed them for it.
The expelled Elder Zhang held one person in each hand and flew out of the Cloud Sea Realm with an expressionless face.
With his eyes narrowed, he was filled with uneasiness and said hesitantly, "I'm afraid that the news of Master Shang's accident will be reported back to the sect soon. Now that we have left the Cloud Sea Realm, where should we go?"
Yi Zi Mei thought for a while and pondered: "Why don't we go hide in the lower world first? Anyway, those places are full of low-class people. We might be able to enjoy a better life there. Elder Zhang, what do you think of this method?"
Elder Zhang did not object, he thought the same in his heart.
After they have to endure another thousand years in the lower world, and when this matter is over, they will return to the upper world...
Just as he was thinking this, Elder Zhang felt a chill on his back.
He looked back suddenly, only to find that several people were following him closely, all of them were in the Ascension Stage!
"Dongxuan bastards, return my Taoist companion's life to me!"
"Dongxuan dog, pay for my son's life!"
Elder Zhang's eyes suddenly widened and he cursed.
"You damn thief Shang Wuyang, you killed someone and caused me to be hunted down!"
Wen Yun and his companions didn't care about those people at all. They only saw three people from the Dongxuan Sect flying up, and someone immediately followed behind them. If they were not mistaken, there were two people from the Wing Clan among them.
Perhaps it was flying too fast, and a tail feather fell on Master Suyuan's head.
Master Su Yuan took off the green hair on his head, muttered "10,000 source crystals", and put it into his mustard seed bag as if it were a treasure. He sighed again and smiled indifferently: "Alas, young people are strong. Old people like me can no longer fight. It's time to go back and enjoy my old age."
As he said this, he was about to command several of his disciples to return to Yun Island, but he did not expect that the silver-armored guards stopped them with expressionless faces.
Su Yuan Zhenren was puzzled: "Daoyou, I wonder what this means?"
The silver-armored guards showed warm and friendly smiles on their faces. One of them took out a stack of bills and swept his eyes over the faces of the people from the Qingliu Sword Sect, finally stopping at Ye Shubai: "Of course, we must first congratulate this fellow Taoist on his ascension."
Then he changed the subject: "However, we need to settle an account first."
Ye Shubai was stunned, but before he could react, the first bill was already in his hand.
"Although the thunderbolt came from the sky, it was you who brought it upon yourself, so you have to take the blame. We just did the math. First, there were ten shops destroyed by the thunderbolt. If we calculate the cost of each shop at 100,000 source crystals, the total cost would be one million source crystals."
"hiss!"
Zhu Erchong and Shen Xinghai, who heard this terrifying number nearby, were almost frightened to faint.
They had previously used the 150,000 source crystals given by Su Yuan Zhenren to bet on Wen Yunying, and the gambling money they had just received had increased tenfold! They had thought that this amount was enough to cover their future expenses in the Yunhai Realm, but they never expected that they would have to pay one million just for those houses!
How could a sword cultivator pay so easily
Zhu Erchong immediately rushed forward, rolled up his sleeves and showed his strong arms: "Can I not pay for it? I can fix it! I am best at repairing houses and building buildings!"
When he was in the cultivation world, he participated in the work of rebuilding the First Peak. After coming to the Cloud Sea Realm, he was caught by Master Su Yuan on the Cloud Island and worked as a bricklayer. His swordsmanship did not improve much, but his level of building houses increased rapidly, and he has become a master architect.
Shen Xinghai beside him also nodded: "Yes, I can also repair it."
The silver-armored guard encountered this kind of thing for the first time and was stunned: "... You go discuss it with the boss."
The thunder not only destroyed the house, but also the second bill fell into Ye Shubai's hands.
"These are the tiles on the square that were damaged by the bombing." The silver-armored guard pointed to the huge deep pit behind Ye Shubai and said expressionlessly, "A total of 34,000 cloud bricks were damaged. Add to that the labor cost for re-paving them, and I'll charge you 400,000 source crystals."
Zhu Erchong was so angry that he stepped forward again and offered his services: "I can do it! I'm best at making bricks and paving roads!"
However, soon, another bill was listed.
"These are the flowers, plants and trees that were chopped down, many of which are rare species. Together with the money for planting them, the total amount is 90,000 source crystals."
As expected, it was Zhu Erchong who said, "I can plant! I'm best at growing flowers and trees!"
Hearing this, even the silver-armored guard couldn't stand it anymore and frowned and asked, "Fellow Daoist, are you planning to not spend a penny and rebuild Yunhai City with your own hands?"
Zhu Erchong naturally didn't want to do such a hard job, but he was even more reluctant to give up the 1.5 million Source Crystals he had just won. This was the only amount he had, but he had to pay 1.49 million. The remaining 10,000 Source Crystals didn't even make back the money he had bet on!
If we keep all these source crystals, then when Junior Brother Bao and Senior Sister Meng Ran come, won’t we be able to help them forge a good sword
Zhu Erchong would not think that "these things were broken by Ye Shubai, so he should be responsible for it". The young sword practitioners of Qingliu Sword Sect are different from the disciples of Dongxuan Sect. They have always shared happiness and hardships.
Thinking of this, Zhu Erchong gritted his teeth and prepared to take on all the hard work.
However, at this moment, Wen Yun, who had been gone somewhere before, stepped forward, pulled Zhu Erchong to the side, smiled gently and shook his head: "Brother Zhu, the houses and roads on our own island are not yet completed, how can you come to build others'?"
Zhu Erchong was stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice with a sad face: "Junior Sister Wen, of course it's because we are poor..."
Shen Xinghai nodded bitterly, and it seemed that he had a deep understanding of the word "poor". After thinking for a moment, he whispered, "I haven't used those cloud crystals yet, why don't we sell them to pay off the debt?"
"Poor?" Wen Yun looked back at his two brothers in astonishment, then took out a brand new mustard seed capsule and began to grab source crystals from it: "We are not poor now!"
Just as Zhu Erchong was about to retort, he saw Wen Yun grab a handful of the best source crystals and hand them to the silver-armored guard. If he was not mistaken, each of them was worth ten thousand. What was even more terrifying was that he seemed to see a bag full of source crystals in the mustard seed sac of Junior Sister Wen...
The words he wanted to say to persuade Wen Yun to be frugal were instantly choked in his throat.
Where did all this come from?!
Wen Yun warned Zhu Erchong seriously: "Brother Zhu, although I know you like to build houses and roads, I think you should seize the time to practice. Let's not waste time on things that can be solved with money."
Wow, these words sound very generous and magnanimous!
But let’s not talk about the fact that Zhu Erchong doesn’t like to build houses, let’s talk about this source crystal…
"Junior Sister Wen, when did you become rich?"
Wen Yun put away the mustard seed sac as if nothing had happened, and said with a smile: "Whether you win or lose the gambling game you participated in before, I will get 10% of the money you invested."
One percent may not sound like much, but you have to know that the entire Yunhai City was participating in the gambling game at that time... There were tens of millions of people in the city. Even if only one million people bet, and each person only bet one hundred source crystals, Wen Yun could still get 10 million!
What's more, those who bet are betting far more than just this amount.
There were so many people and noise just now that Wen Yun couldn't hear clearly when the girl from the casino came to deliver the source crystal. He only heard something like "billion"...
After receiving the source crystal as compensation, the silver-armored guard was no longer embarrassed. He cupped his hands and said to Ye Shubai, "Since your Taoist partner has handed over the source crystal, you can leave now."
A male cultivator nearby cast an envious look at him and muttered something in a low voice. Ye Shubai had a high level of cultivation and heard everything clearly.
"I'm so envious. Over a million dollars is given to me just like that. I also want to find a wealthy Taoist partner."
Ye Shubai felt a little uncomfortable, not because he was considered a gigolo, but because of the word "Daoist partner".
He glanced at Wen Yun secretly, and when he found that she had no rejection of the two words, he couldn't help but pursed his lips and revealed a subtle smile.
After receiving another beautiful gem, Charmander consciously acted as a mount, carrying these lazy guys to Cloud Island.
Sitting on the dragon's back, Master Su Yuan was still bragging about the battle in the void. Although Zhu Erchong and Shen Xinghai obviously wanted to hear how Shang Wuyang was defeated, he still shamelessly continued to tell the story of his battle with Elder Zhang.
Master Su Yuan spitted and said, "But I turned my sword and dealt a fatal blow to the old man named Zhang—"
Shen Xinghai raised his hand to interrupt: "So Shang Wuyang lost?"
Master Su Yuan ignored him and continued: "Then, I defeated him directly with my earth-shattering sword power—"
Zhu Erchong was very interested: "So is Shang Wuyang dead or not?"
Master Suyuan, who was extremely angry at these two foolish listeners, turned his back and didn't want to pay any attention to these two guys at all.
After the little fire dragon flew to the Cloud Island, he was the first to jump down swiftly, carrying the sword on his back and walking up the peak without looking back. His back looked very desolate, as if he was feeling frustrated and frustrated as he was talented but not appreciated.
Wen Yun and Ye Shubai landed shortly after. She had just been discussing with him on the dragon's back how to deal with possible revenge from the Dongxuan Sect. She was planning to do something big and was going to set up a random teleportation formation along the entire island, so that she could run away with the entire Yun Island if she encountered danger.
Although this plan is crazy, it is not difficult to implement it for Wen Yun who is now proficient in the laws of space...
"Your attainments in formations have improved in recent years. Why don't you come with me... Eh? What is this?"
Wen Yun felt that he kicked something under his feet. He pulled aside the thick and dense cloud grass and took a look. He was stunned.
This is…
"Huh? How come there's a broken arm here all of a sudden?!" Zhu Erchong, who was following closely behind Wen Yun, exclaimed in shock, "It's actually also a right arm? And it looks like this arm was just broken, there's still life!"
The source of power on that arm was extremely strong, and it was obvious that it belonged to a supreme being. However, no outsiders had ever set foot on Cloud Island, so why would such a strange thing appear? !
Zhu Erchong seemed to have thought of something. He turned around abruptly and looked at Shen Xinghai beside him. He said in astonishment: "Junior Brother Shen?! Could this be your real chance?! God has given you a fresh broken arm!"
Junior Brother Shen has always said that he has an opportunity, but now it seems that the cloud beast before was not an opportunity at all, but only a disaster. Could it be that the real opportunity is this? !
Before Shen Xinghai could react, Zhu Erchong had already begun a careful analysis.
"With so many things in the world, why did you only lose one hand? Or is it your missing right hand?!"
"… "
"There are so many cloud islands in the Cloud Sea Realm, most of which are bottomless cloud sea abysses. Why did it just happen to fall on our island?!"
"… "
"Obviously! This is God's will!"
Shen Xinghai frowned, obviously wary of this inexplicably appearing broken arm, but Zhu Erchong's statement clearly opened up new ideas for him.
Yes, the old senior in the ring said that he had a great opportunity in the Cloud Sea Realm... Could it really be this broken arm
But this arm was so disgusting, and to be honest, he didn't really want to use it.
Shen Xinghai shook his head and said, "This thing is extremely filthy."
Zhu Erchong was still interested and advised: "Although it looks dirty, it can be used after washing. Besides, the opportunities bestowed by heaven are often inconspicuous. How can we ignore its powerful inner qualities just because of its appearance?"
Shen Xinghai touched the ordinary old ring on his finger and his heart moved.
Wen Yun was stunned when he heard this. No, Senior Brother Zhu, have you read too many novels? How can you just use someone else's broken arm? What's more, this arm belongs to Shang Wuyang. Who knows if there are any strange things in it
She said helplessly: "No, this arm is actually..."
Before Wen Yun could finish, a deafening roar suddenly came from the other side.
"belch!"
The little fire dragon rubbed his stomach and said embarrassedly: "The cloud beast is inside, and there is a lot of gas in the stomach, so it is easy to burp. Don't be surprised."
After it burped, another cloud beast floated out. This cloud beast, perhaps because it was extremely hungry in the dragon's stomach, ignored Wen Yun's previous prohibition against biting the cloud island, and opened its mouth wide to bite...
The cloud beast chewed contentedly, swallowing the cloud soil and cloud grass in its mouth, and naturally the arm hidden in them was no exception.
After eating, it bleated, and contentedly floated back to the little fire dragon's mouth and went in.
This scene shocked Zhu Erchong so much that he stammered, "Junior Brother Shen, your arm has been eaten!"
Wen Yun was confused. No, when did it become Senior Brother Shen’s arm
Shen Xinghai also had a wooden expression. After a while, his starry eyes gradually turned red, and his face seemed to be filled with endless sorrow.
All his chances were ruined by the cloud beast.
Wen Yun: Senior Brother Shen, please sober up! Weren't you just complaining about this arm? Why did you accept the Long Aotian script given to you by Senior Brother Zhu so quickly
