True Martial World - Chapter 1221

Chapter 1221

When the gray dot of light entered Yi Yun's body, the Yuan Qi within his dantian began to circulate violently . It instinctively tried to purge the gray dot of light; however, it remained like a maggot and rapidly tunneled into Yi Yun's dantian .

At that instant, Yi Yun felt a strong sense of danger .

And simultaneously, the Azure Wood Divine Tree's root network abruptly uprooted itself from the desolate mountain and rapidly swept back towards Yi Yun's body .

The Azure Wood Divine Tree seed had previously sprouted in Yi Yun's dantian, becoming one with him .

When it sensed the danger Yi Yun was facing, the Azure Wood Divine Tree automatically returned into Yi Yun's body .

In just a split second, the Azure Wood Divine Tree's leaves spread throughout Yi Yun's meridians and finally drew inwards to his dantian, wrapping it under thick layers .

"Peng!"

Yi Yun seemed to hear a dull thud from within his body . As he looked within his dantian, he saw that the leaves had formed a cage, and the gray dot of light was slamming about within .

Yi Yun immediately circulated all his Yuan Qi to surge towards the cage . He constantly fortified it, while at the same time the Azure Wood Divine Tree's massive vibrant strength inundated the gray dot of light, trapping it completely . The light it emitted also dimmed slightly .

The cadaveric aura finally vanished .

"What the heck is this thing?" Yi Yun sensed that the gray dot of light was only sealed and restrained . It seemed to contain a light heartbeat .

Through the Azure Wood Divine Tree's leaves, Yi Yun perceived the gray dot of light . From it, he sensed a stranger's aura .

The aura was extremely diabolical .

Simultaneously, Yi Yun sensed that the gray dot of light contained immense amounts of demonic aura that was of a higher grade than that of the demonic servants .

Yi Yun thought about it and came to the conclusion that the demonic aura belonged to Skyfire Sacred Hands's master . By planting the gray dot of light within Yi Yun's body, Skyfire Sacred Hands's master was able to instantly strike and kill him .

From the beginning, Skyfire Sacred Hands's master had not trusted him at all . He only saw Skyfire Sacred Hands as a tool .

However, the gray dot of light had been completely restrained by the Azure Wood Divine Tree . Not a single amount of aura leaked out . As such, the demonic aura could no longer be tracked as well . Not only was it unable to threaten his life, it also prevented Skyfire Sacred Hands's master from sensing it .

"I'll use the Azure Wood Divine Tree to seal it before absorbing it clean . " Yi Yun thought to himself . Yi Yun felt unease leaving such a thing in his body even if Skyfire Sacred Hands's master could not find him . He needed to refine and digest it .

The demonic aura would provide large amounts of nutrients to the Azure Wood Divine Tree once it was absorbed . However, absorbing the demonic aura clean was not an easy task . It would probably take a period of time .

"Yi Yun, are you alright?" City Lord Qin asked after he and company flew over .

Yi Yun shook his head . "I'm fine . "

City Lord Qin and company had not seen the gray dot of light . All they saw was Yi Yun suddenly halting . He had a heavy expression and, following that, the surrounding Yuan Qi was pulled into his body . They were puzzled as to what had happened .

Now that they knew Yi Yun was fine, City Lord Qin and company heaved a sigh of relief . They chalked it up to Yi Yun being a little exhausted . After all, it had been a huge battle .

Imagining the scene of the battle that had just ended, the warriors, and even the mortals, that witnessed the scene would speak about it, remembering it deep in their hearts .

"Let's return to Myriad City . I'll purge the plague for those people," said Yi Yun .

Upon hearing Yi Yun's offer, the Zhou family's patriarch was naturally the happiest . However, City Lord Qin was taken aback . "Why the rush?"

Yi Yun had just finished a battle and needed rest . There was no need to hurry .

However, Yi Yun gave a faint smile . "It's fine . "

Curing the plague for the others did not enervate him in any way . On the contrary, it replenished his Azure Wood Divine Tree with some energy .

Despite having restrained the gray dot of light, Yi Yun knew that he could not stay in Myriad City for long, or trouble would quickly come knocking .

…

Billions of miles away from Myriad Divine Territory, in a silent and desolate desert, a red-haired man sat quietly amid the yellow sand . Strong winds howled, blowing through his red hair as though a red flame was flickering in the sand .

Suddenly, he opened his eyes . His eyes appeared to be two patches of darkness . They effused an endless chill as though he did not have the emotions that belonged to a living being .

"Skyfire Sacred Hands is dead . "

The red-haired man was somewhat surprised . It wasn’t that he particularly cared about Skyfire Sacred Hands's survival . However, the ancient demonic aura he had planted had entered deep into the person that killed Skyfire Sacred Hands . But in the blink of an eye, the demonic aura seemed to be lost in the endless oceans . It vanished without a trace .

The red-haired man pricked up his brows and extended his hand, writing down a name on the yellow sand in front of him .

"Yi Yun . "

Wu—!

A gust of wind blew . Despite being a name written in sand, it did not get blown away by the wind . It seemed to be engraved in the sand forever .

"Interesting . " The red-haired man muttered to himself as the corners of his lips suffused a faint smile . "What secret does this youth have? It looks like I have underestimated him…"

…

The infected geniuses of Myriad City gathered in front of City Lord Manor were filled with anticipation and excitement . And aside from the geniuses, there were warriors that rushed to Myriad City after catching wind of the news .

All of Myriad City's streets were empty . Nearly everyone in the city had come out of the stores and houses . They swarmed towards City Lord Manor .

The turnout for such a grand occasion was even better than that of the Grand Alchemical-cum-Medical Meet years ago .

When Yi Yun's figure appeared in front of City Lord Manor's entrance, a cacophonous roar sounded .

"Young Master Yi! Young Master Yi!"

These geniuses and warriors gazed excitedly at Yi Yun . All of them exuded looks of immense reverence and admiration .

Yi Yun's present status made it so that no one had even the slightest thought of comparing themselves to him . There was only idolation .

Yi Yun looked at these people and raised his hand . The Azure Wood Divine Tree phantom appeared behind him as a warm vibrant energy immediately scattered towards the crowd like rain .

Sharp screams that came from the soul cried out . Yi Yun could hear them clearly but ordinary people did not hear them at all .

The demonic servants that were hiding within the young geniuses' dantians escaped as they scattered in mid-air, attempting to escape in every direction .

"Freeze!" Yi Yun was already prepared . He extended his finger and immediately, the space above the crowd was sealed . Golden threads formed a spatial cage .

These demonic servants were imprisoned within the space as they were helplessly absorbed by the Azure Wood Divine Tree .

In an instant, Yi Yun had treated all the infected geniuses .

"Young Master Yi, this is a little token to show my respect to you . " Patriarch Zhou was delighted . The few genius of the younger generation of his Zhou family had been saved . He immediately produced an interspatial ring .

He was not the only one . The factions behind the geniuses that were saved each delivered all sorts of treasures .

Today, the formidable strength that Yi Yun had demonstrated made everyone see Yi Yun's future clearly . As long as he did not perish, his future was limitless .

They did not have lavish hopes of befriending Yi Yun . Simply being slightly acquainted with him brought immense benefits .

Yi Yun did not reject the gifts of gratitude . He entrusted City Lord Qin to collect all the gifts and left . He wanted to meet Elder Mo .
