After which, his gaze turned towards Wei Ling's direction and cupped his fists as he said, "This matter was too sudden and alarmed the Fifth Prince. Can you give me a moment more time to settle this matter?"
"Sovereign, please take care of yourself. Don't worry about me." Wei Ling replied indifferently. He did not pay much attention to this. He was just a nobody, so it was natural that his mood did not fluctuate at all.
"Thank you for your understanding, Fifth Prince." The Sect Leader of the Floating Cloud Immortal Gate cupped his fists and said, then looked at the experts in the sky and said coldly: "Do it!"
With a single command, the experts surrounding Yun Yi all released a powerful aura. Stepping forward, streams of extremely bright divine light were released, forming a might that spread out, condensing into an extremely tyrannical Sword Qi that shot towards Yun Yi.
Yun Yi flipped his palm upwards, and a golden Treasure Tripod appeared in the air. The Treasure Tripod's entire body revealed a golden hue, and the nine scorching suns surrounded the Treasure Tripod, releasing an extremely scorching aura, as though it could burn the world.
This Treasure Tripod was naturally the sacred artifact of the Cloud Empire and the Nine Suns Shrouding Sky Cauldron.
Qin Xuan was worried that Yun Yi would be in danger during this trip, so he temporarily handed over the Nine Yang Suppressing Heaven Cauldron to protect himself. This way, even if he was surrounded and killed, as long as the Saint didn't show himself, he would be able to escape safely.
"Heavenly Cauldron of the Nine Suns Sect, is this person from Cloud Empire?" The Sect Leader of the Floating Cloud Immortal Gate and a few other experts instantly recognized the Nine Yang Suppression Cauldron, and their eyes revealed a trace of surprise and suspicion.
This was the sacred weapon of the Cloud Empire, and it was a divine killing weapon.
Many people could not help but wonder, was this person from the None-beginning Palace, or was this person from the Cloud Empire?
His eyes revealed a hint of greed. This was a sacred weapon, and even though he was a prince, he had never possessed one. Amongst all the princes and princesses in the Jia Ye Empire, only the second prince, Wei Zhuo, had one.
He never thought that he would be able to obtain a saint artifact after a trip to Flowing Immortal Island. This was a great opportunity that had been gifted to him by the heavens!
Even though Yun Yi still had the Sky Cauldron, Wei Ling had already treated it as his.
He believed that the Floating Cloud Immortal Gate knew what to do.
"Roar, roar, roar …"
The nine scorching suns were akin to nine balls of Divine Solar Flames, constantly erupting with blazing flames. Streaks of destructive flame engulfed the area, transforming it into lava as it flowed, causing the entire area to be engulfed in a sea of fire.
"Ahh …" Many figures in the sky turned into flaming men, their entire bodies wreathed in terrifying flames. The flames seemed to be able to penetrate through the defense of the Genuine Essence and directly burn their flesh, even with their High Rank of Monarch Stage cultivation, they were unable to withstand the attack of the flame energy.
The Heavenly Cauldron was a sacred weapon, so even if the person using it was only a person of High Rank of Monarch Stage, the power it could unleash was extraordinary.
Initially, the Cloud Empire had sent Yun Yi to kill Qin Xuan with the Nine Yang Suppression Cauldron. He thought that Qin Xuan would be absolutely safe, but he didn't know that the Dragon Phoenix Sword in Qin Xuan's hand was also a sacred weapon. Furthermore, it could merge with Qin Xuan's body, so the Nine Yang Suppression Cauldron couldn't do anything to him.
However, these people in the void did not have the tyrannical protective treasures like Qin Xuan. Naturally, they had to endure the pain of being burned by the raging flames. Not long after, those figures were burnt to ashes, leaving not even their bones.
The hearts of many disciples from the Floating Cloud Immortal Gate trembled uncontrollably as they watched the scene in the sky. Those people who were burned to death were all Emperor Realm beings, and they were powerless to do anything as they watched themselves being burned to death.
At this moment, they truly felt their insignificance, and in front of absolute strength, they were simply unable to resist.
Boom!" He raised his hand and pointed downwards. A ray of divine light was released, transforming into a terrifying Sword Intent that moved across the space, slashing towards Yun Yi's body. Boom!
The Floating Cloud Immortal Gate's Sect Leader's strength was on par with Beginning Emperor's, both were at the level of the Emperor's Peak Stage, and were only a step away from the Saint Stage. That strand of Sword Intent was so powerful that it directly penetrated through layers of space, suppressing the world, and wanted to kill Yun Yi with a single slash.
A gust of fierce wind blew over, Yun Yi's long hair danced in the wind, he could feel an incomparable sword pressure landing on his body, with a thought, the Nine Yang Heaven Suppressing Cauldron suddenly appeared in front of the Sword Intent, following that a loud sound was emitted. The Sword Intent was blocked, and the Nine Yang Heaven Suppressing Cauldron was also shaken backwards, without any trace of it being broken.
Yun Yi's body also retreated a few dozen steps. He grabbed forward with his hand and grabbed the Sky Cauldron of the Nine Suns Valley within it. He looked towards the Floating Cloud Immortal Gate's Sect Leader and said, "My words have been delivered, it's up to you whether or not you want to go."
After speaking, he turned and soared into the skies, wanting to leave this place.
"Don't let him go!"
A slightly cold voice immediately sounded out. However, the one who spoke was not the head of the Floating Cloud Immortal Gate Sect, but Wei Ling, who was seated at the head seat.
Since the saint artifact had appeared before him, how could he allow it to be taken away?
As Wei Ling's voice faded, a figure appeared out of thin air. It was a middle-aged man with a powerful countenance and an unfathomable aura.
With an indifferent expression, he stared in the direction Yun Yi had left. Stretching out his palm, an extremely terrifying pressure bore down on him, causing a stifling sensation to appear in the air. Even the spiritual energy in the area stopped flowing, as though a mysterious force had confined this area.
"This is …" The numerous figures below stared blankly at the middle-aged man, their minds completely blank.
At this moment, they felt that the middle-aged man was akin to a supreme deity. With a flip of his hand, he could easily control their lives.
"Bam." The sound of a voice drifted out, and in the next instant, a silhouette was blasted out of the space. It was none other than Yun Yi.
The middle-aged man's hand grabbed towards Yun Yi's body, only to see a golden divine cauldron that was enveloped in endless raging flames explode towards him, causing the air to become scorching hot with astral wind. When the middle-aged man saw this scene, his eyes couldn't help but reveal a strange expression.
Seeing this, the surrounding people's pupils couldn't help but constrict. They never thought that Yun Yi would do such an astonishing thing. He actually directly abandoned the Nine Yang Stronghold. That was a sacred weapon, throwing it away as he pleased.
But then they also understood. Compared to his own life, what was a saint artifact worth?
With his life gone, what use was there to have any more powerful magic tools?
It was obvious that Yun Yi also knew that if he was caught, it would be difficult for him to escape death, so he directly left the Nine Suns Fighting Cauldron. This way, he might be able to keep his life.
The middle-aged man waved his hands, grabbing the cauldron and walking towards Wei Ling.
As he watched the middle-aged man walk over with the Nine Yang Suppression Cauldron, a brilliant smile appeared on Wei Ling's face. All the treasures he obtained from the outside would belong to him, and there was no need to hand them over to the imperial family.
"Fifth Prince, this cauldron still contains the will of a Saint." The middle-aged man passed the Sky Cauldron to Wei Ling and reminded him at the same time.
"No worries, I have my own ways to get rid of him after we return." Wei Ling looked at the middle-aged man and smiled. "You've worked hard on this matter. When we get back, I'll recommend you to royal father."
"Then I'll be troubling the Fifth Prince!" Joy flashed across the middle-aged man's eyes. The Jia Ye Empire had a strong foundation, even if it was filled with Saints. He was just an ordinary First Order Saint and did not have a high position in the empire. That was why he was sent to protect Wei Ling.
After all, in such a remote place like Xihua Islands, there were basically no dangers.
Although Wei Ling's talent was not as great as the Second Prince Wei Zhuo's, he was still considered outstanding amongst the other princes and princesses. If Wei Ling could speak up for him in front of the Saint King, then perhaps he would be able to obtain even better cultivation resources and progress further.
Everyone from Floating Cloud Immortal Gate looked in the direction of Wei Ling with a hint of envy in their eyes. A powerful saint artifact had fallen into his hands, it was practically a gift from the heavens.
However, although they were envious, they did not have any other thoughts. Of course, they did not dare to have any.
This was the prince of the Jia Ye Empire. To them, he was someone who lived above the clouds, someone far above them, someone unreachable.
He unconsciously clenched his fists tightly. If he had Wei Ling's background, he would also be able to enjoy this kind of treatment. He must become stronger and lead the Floating Cloud Immortal Gate to its peak!
"Congratulations to the Fifth Prince for obtaining the saint artifact!" At this time, the Sect Leader of the Floating Cloud Immortal Gate stepped forward and congratulated him.
Since there was no such item, they could use this opportunity to get closer to Wei Ling. No matter what, Wei Ling should be grateful that he got this item from the Floating Cloud Immortal Gate, so he did credit for it.
"I was just lucky. I didn't expect that I would get an unexpected harvest from this trip. It was really out of my expectations." At the moment, he was in an extremely good mood, so he did not care too much about the difference in status and started to joke around with the Floating Cloud Immortal Gate's Sect Leader.
"Perhaps it's because the heavens' will is so. The heavens blessed the Fifth Prince, so they specially sent him here to deliver the saint artifact." The Sect Leader of the Floating Cloud Immortal Gate answered immediately.
When Wei Ling heard this, he could not help but give the Floating Cloud Immortal Gate's Sect Leader a meaningful look. This Sect Leader was very good at speaking, if there was a chance in the future, he could properly nurture Li Liuxian and make the Floating Cloud Immortal Gate stronger.
For Wei Ling, helping a power organization wasn't a difficult thing to do. Right now, he might not be able to do it, but once his cultivation becomes stronger, he would have more authority in the dynasty. Naturally, he would have the ability to decide on some things.
Other than Wei Zhuo, there was almost no one in the same generation who could compete with him. Now that he obtained this sacred artifact, his position in the dynasty would be higher than before, and the others would have no chance to fight with him!
