CHAPTER 640: CHAPTER 324: SECRET

Such a peerless hero is the prince charming in every young girl’s heart.

Zhu Wanyun was no exception.

She stared blankly at that tall and majestic figure, like a god or a saint. If she could spend this life with such a man, how happy would that be?

Under Li Yunjing’s protection, even those with ill intentions would have to think twice before daring to offend the true disciple of the Shenxiao Dao Sect and make her unhappy!

"National Preceptor..."

Thinking of the beautiful future, Zhu Wanyun put away her guqin and walked over slowly. Looking at Li Yunjing’s imposing demeanor, her heart was pounding like a little deer.

"Hmm! Wanyun, go collect the spoils of war on the battlefield, I want to ask Zhuang Yangming something."

Li Yunjing’s mouth slightly twitched, revealing a faint smile, and said softly.

"Okay! I’ll go right now! Even if it’s just a spirit stone, I will find it for the National Preceptor!"

Being able to serve Li Yunjing was a happiness in itself. Zhu Wanyun had already become a loyal little fan of Li Yunjing.

As for Li Yunjing’s request, it naturally had to be done with utmost dedication!

"Hehe! Much obliged!"

Seeing Zhu Wanyun’s pretty face blushing with excitement, Li Yunjing felt a sense of déjà vu, reminiscent of attending a concert in his past life.

Those fanatical fans, weren’t they just like this?

Was it necessary?

Zhu Wanyun was so infatuated with him?

Li Yunjing had never idolized anyone, so he didn’t understand the mindset of fanatical fans.

Not long ago, Zhu Wanyun knew that Li Yunjing was strong, that he was a true disciple of the Shenxiao Dao Sect, an unattainable figure!

But at that time, Li Yunjing had not shown his true strength, and it was more about the perception of his status and position.

Now that he had truly acted, the invincible aura he displayed made it no surprise that the young girl would be enraptured.

Not to mention witnessing such overwhelming combat power, the entire royal family had probably never heard of anyone like him.

In the entire Shenxiao Dao Sect, few could perform so admirably at the Foundation Establishment Realm Fourth Heaven.

In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, Li Yunjing was like a myth, and when he returned to the Shenxiao Dao Sect, he remained a legendary figure!

"Hehe! To lose to a strong person like you, I can’t complain. I just want to know your identity; it would be a shame to die not knowing, wouldn’t it?"

Watching Zhu Wanyun leave, Zhuang Yangming struggled to lift his head and looked up at the high and mighty Li Yunjing, smiling bitterly as he asked.

The Soul-Controlling Sect wasn’t weak.

In the entire Immortal Cultivation Realm, Zhuang Yangming wasn’t considered weak among Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.

But even so, he was defeated.

It wasn’t that he and his men were incompetent; it was just that their opponent was too strong.

Having cultivated for over two hundred years, whether hearing or seeing, Zhuang Yangming had never encountered someone as monstrous as Li Yunjing.

In fact, Zhuang Yangming began to wonder whether, in the entire cultivation history of the Southern Heaven Continent, there had ever been anyone in the Foundation Establishment Realm Fourth Heaven who could outperform Li Yunjing.

To defeat someone of a higher realm, only a few incredibly talented individuals could achieve this, and such people were precious treasures in any sect or clan.

To defeat someone two realms higher, they would likely be prominent figures among true disciples, with a chance to compete for the position of Sect Leader Venerable or become a Golden Core Realm Elder.

Such individuals were the pinnacle in the Soul-Controlling Sect.

No matter how formidable the others were, they couldn’t achieve this. These were the peerless talents Zhuang Yangming had encountered.

But today’s events shattered Zhuang Yangming’s understanding!

There were people who could defeat others five realms higher!

To defeat someone one realm higher is called a genius; defeating two realms higher is called a peerless genius; how should someone like Li Yunjing, who defeats five realms higher, be called?

A freak?

A monster?

Anyway, not human!

The Immortal Cultivation Realm is a world where the strong are revered, and Li Yunjing’s overwhelming performance had earned Zhuang Yangming’s utter admiration.

"I am Li Yunjing, a true disciple of the Shenxiao Dao Sect, Seven Star Palace!"

Just speak plainly, it’s not like I wouldn’t tell you my name?

Previously, with Zhuang Yangming’s arrogant demeanor, Li Yunjing had naturally not intended to reveal his name.

Now, he straightforwardly stated his background.

"Li Yunjing!"

Zhuang Yangming murmured, his expression complicated.

He never thought that one day, he would die at the hands of such a monster!

"It’s better than dying at the hands of a mediocre person, right?"

Zhuang Yangming laughed at himself and said, "I know why you kept me alive; what do you want to know?"

As he spoke, he looked at Li Yunjing.

At this moment, Zhuang Yangming seemed somewhat relieved. Perhaps he wasn’t as afraid of death as he imagined?

"Very well! Why is this place called ’Lingxiu Island’?"

Li Yunjing nodded and asked softly.

"What?"

Zhuang Yangming was taken aback, and then his face showed a complex expression. He coughed a few times, laughing, "A monster is a monster, even the questions asked go straight to the heart of the matter!"

Li Yunjing remained silent, watching Zhuang Yangming.

"Actually, a hundred years ago, this island was picturesque, with abundant spiritual energy, and there were many rare treasures on the island."

Zhuang Yangming seemed to fall into deep thought, recalling the scene when he first arrived here.

"But as we arrived and slaughtered all the creatures on the island, developing it extensively, it became like this."

"Oh? What do you mean by extensive development?"

Li Yunjing was taken aback, raising an eyebrow in confusion.
