667: Junior brother!

The steady voice of Yao Delong was like a stabilizing needle, instantly calming the agitated mind of Han Yun.

She looked at Liu Ruyan, who had arrived nearby, and several fellow disciples whose steady auras clearly identified them as Spirit Transformation Cultivators from Pill Cloud Peak. Her heart eased slightly, but the fear of the a mythical beast still lingered.

"Junior Brother!"

Han Yun forced herself to endure the churning pain in her internal organs. Her silver hair was stained with blood, and her emerald eyes looked at Yao Delong with urgency.

"This is definitely not the time to act on impulse! That Sky-Rending Demon King is a terrifying existence whose strength is absolutely no less than the Late Void Refining Stage Peak!"

"If it weren't for the fact that he seems to be searching for something important in the mountain, I would never have been able to hold on until you arrived! It would be best if we leave quickly!"

Her voice trembled with lingering fear, clearly having personally experienced the monstrous might of that Demon King.

However, to Han Yun's surprise, the few Pill Cloud Peak Elders who had just arrived beside her—Elder Zhao, Elder Sun, and Elder Li—upon hearing the words "Late Void Refining Stage Peak," saw their originally tense and solemn expressions slowly... relax?

Even in their eyes, there was a faint, strange sense of... relief?

Elder Zhao stroked his beard, chuckled, and looked at Han Yun with the comfort of a Senior:

"Elder Han, there is no need to be overly worried. Late Void Refining Stage... hmm... is indeed very strong."

He paused, seemingly choosing his words carefully, "However... for our True Disciple Yao... ahem..."

Elder Sun chimed in, his tone carrying an affirmation that was taken for granted:

"Elder Han, you may not know this, but while we were on our way here, we personally witnessed True Disciple Yao practicing a secret technique, causing the Law to manifest and the heaven-shaking phenomenon of nine suns traversing the sky! That is a method only available in the Body Integration Realm!"

Elder Li nodded heavily, his gaze towards Yao Delong filled with near-blind worship:

"Exactly! A mere Late Void Refining Stage Demon King, even if its Bloodline is strong, is definitely no match for True Disciple Yao, who can cause the Law to manifest! Elder Han, you can set your heart at ease!"

"???" Han Yun's emerald eyes instantly widened, like two pure emeralds, filled with unbelievable shock!

"Law... manifestation? Nine suns traversing the sky?" She suddenly turned her head to look at the Junior Brother beside her, with his handsome face and an aura as deep as the sea, a monstrous wave rising in her heart!

Spirit Transformation Realm causing the Law to manifest? This... this simply subverted all her knowledge of Cultivation!

But seeing these Elders speaking with such certainty and determined expressions, it was definitely not a lie!

In an instant, the terrifying scene of Yao Delong killing the Demon Marshal with a wave of his hand resurfaced in her mind. An unprecedented sense of shock and security welled up, diluting the fear of the Demon King.

"Senior Sister Han, are you alright?"

Liu Ruyan had already stepped forward quickly, concernedly supporting Han Yun's slightly swaying figure, her purple eyes filled with worry.

She knew well that Han Yun had a strong and unyielding personality, so this injury must be quite severe.

Feeling the care from her fellow disciple, Han Yun felt a warmth in her heart. She shook her head, her gaze towards Yao Delong complex and difficult to fathom:

"Thank you for your concern, Junior Sister Liu. I am fine. If not for Junior Brother Yao arriving in time today, I fear..."

She did not continue, but the relief and lingering fear of surviving a disaster were self-evident.

"Senior Sister, you are being too serious."

Yao Delong smiled slightly. With a flip of his palm, a Medicinal Pill appeared, completely emerald green, radiating an extremely rich cyan glow of life, with pill patterns resembling dragons and phoenixes.

The moment the Medicinal Pill appeared, the surrounding air seemed to become fresher, and the plants swayed because of it!

A seventh-tier top-grade healing Saint Grade product—yimu azure spirit pill!

This pill contained extremely pure yimu Origin vitality and had miraculous effects on repairing damage to Meridians and replenishing lost essence. It often fetched sky-high prices at auctions, and ordinary Spirit Transformation Cultivators rarely got to see one!

"Senior Sister Han, your Origin is deficient, and you have suffered internal injuries. This pill is perfect for you. Quickly take it and regulate your breath."

Yao Delong's tone was calm as he casually handed over this Saint Grade pill that would make Spirit Transformation Cultivators envious, as if he were handing over not a seventh-tier Medicinal Pill, but a candy bean.

"This... this is too precious!"

Han Yun looked at the emerald pill in her palm, feeling the surging vitality within it. Even though she was knowledgeable, she couldn't help but gasp, subconsciously wanting to decline,

"Junior Brother, I only have some internal injuries; it will only take some time to recover. A Saint Grade pill like this..."

"Senior Sister!" Yao Delong interrupted her, his handsome face wearing an unquestionable smile, but his eyes were extremely serious.

"The Secret Realm search is imminent, and strong enemies surround us. Your combat strength is crucial to us. Besides..."

His tone softened, carrying a hint of teasing, "It's just a Medicinal Pill, Senior Sister, are you still going to be polite with me? Have you forgotten that back in the God Realm Source Secret Realm, you helped me?"

Upon hearing this, Han Yun's mind instantly flashed back to that exceptionally dangerous Secret Realm trip back then. Looking again at the Junior Brother before her, who was now as unfathomable as a Divine Dragon, a myriad of emotions stirred in her heart. The thought of declining vanished instantly.

"That's right, Senior Sister, don't decline!" Liu Ruyan also advised from the side, her purple eyes filled with sincerity, "Recover quickly, and our team will be complete! With Junior Brother Yao in charge, plus your combat strength, this trip will be more certain!"

She paused and asked curiously, "By the way, Senior Sister, how did you end up alone in the depths of this Demon Transformation Mountain Range? And how did you provoke that a mythical beast?"

Han Yun no longer hesitated and put the yimu azure spirit pill into her mouth.

The Medicinal Pill melted the moment it entered her mouth. A vast, majestic, cool, and gentle yimu vitality instantly flowed through her entire body like sweet dew, crazily repairing her damaged Meridians and nourishing her burning and deficient Origin. Her severe injuries were actually stabilizing and improving at a visible speed!

Her pale complexion also quickly regained some rosiness.

While guiding the medicinal power, she said in a deep voice, "I was ordered by the Sect to secretly investigate the recent unusual movements in the Demon Domain. I discovered that recently, a large number of Demon Domain powerhouses, especially several Demon Kings near the Myriad Demon Mountain Range and their elite subordinates, were all gathering here. I was suspicious, so I tracked them all the way here, wanting to find out the reason. However, I did not expect that while attempting to approach the core area where the Demonic Qi was thickest, I was discovered by that a mythical beast... which led to what happened afterwards."

A trace of annoyance flashed in her eyes.

"A large number of Demon Domain powerhouses gathering... it seems they are all for that 'Ancient Pill Venerable Secret Realm'!"

A flash of light shone in Yao Delong's eyes, and he immediately grasped the key point. He then looked at the few Elders, "Elders, have you discovered anything from your search of the outer perimeter?"

Several people shook their heads one after another.

"Reporting to True Disciple Yao," Elder Zhao stepped forward and said respectfully, "We have carefully searched the outer areas. The spatial fluctuations are stable, and there are no signs of a Secret Realm entrance. Other first-rate and second-rate Sects, as well as a large number of Loose Cultivators, are also heading deeper into the mountain range. Presumably, the Secret Realm entrance is near the deep core!"
