69: Nine-leaf clover swaying in the wind! A scene of sword intent.

Arrogant!

Unbridled!

At this moment, Mu Zun faced the top prodigies of the entire Profound Heaven Realm, yet he remained as calm and indifferent as the drifting clouds.

Yet, not a single Prodigy dared to respond.

It was simply because Mu Zun's performance just now had been too shocking and terrifying.

Cultivation far surpassing a Saint, and mysterious, terrifying Divine Abilities.

It was enough to strike awe and fear into their hearts.

"Brother Sky Sparrow... didn't you say before coming here that you wanted to challenge him..."

Among the crowd of prodigies, Bai Shu spoke to Sky Sparrow, whose forehead was dripping with cold sweat.

"Shh! Shut up!"

Hearing Bai Shu, Sky Sparrow was so startled that his whole body jolted. He immediately covered Bai Shu's mouth with one hand and hissed at him fiercely.

After speaking, he gave a sheepish smile to the surrounding prodigies who had turned curious gazes toward them because of Bai Shu's words.

"The kid is just being childish, he's just joking, just joking..."

As for the Yin-Yang Dao Child Qiu Zijin and Feng Yangrong of the Feng family, their expressions shifted.

They were clearly also stunned by Mu Zun's methods.

They had originally thought Mu Zun was a Prodigy in the Saint Realm like them.

They hadn't expected that Mu Zun had actually reached a Breakthrough to the Saint King realm.

Moreover, the power of that Divine Ability just now was truly too appalling.

The cassock on Xuan Pu's body was clearly a Magical Artifact.

Now, not even a scrap of it remained.

Forget Xuan Pu—even if it were them, they would have absolutely no confidence in taking that punch.

Seeing that no one responded, Mu Zun lost interest. He looked toward Xia Wuxiao, intending for him to announce the start of the investiture ceremony.

Just then, an aged voice reached everyone's ears.

"double-pupiled one, I wonder if the Supreme Bone from our Yun Family's Yun Tian is currently on your person?"

As the words fell, everyone was first stunned, and then their expressions became incredibly vivid.

In the sky above, the Void Realm twisted as a hunched figure stepped out from it.

He walked unsteadily through the void toward Mu Zun, appearing like an old man who was a flickering candle in the wind, with Death Qi spreading from his body.

"It's the Yun Family... the Second Ancestor of the Yun Family... Yun Cang?!"

"How is that possible... for him to actually appear here..."

The many forces present found it hard to believe.

"Not good?! The Saint is in danger!?"

At the main seats, the expressions of the Elders darkened slightly, and they were about to stand up.

However, they felt their bodies locked by a terrifying aura, making them unable to move at that moment.

"This!?"

The Elders' faces changed abruptly.

In front of the main seats, space shattered with a boom.

Three figures appeared, their auras seemingly capable of crushing the heavens.

All were experts of the Great Sage Realm.

At the head seat, Xia Wuxiao's expression remained normal, but a sharp light flickered in his eyes.

"The Yun Family, the Ye Family, and the Gu Family of Sky Lake."

"I didn't expect you old fogies to all come out?"

Xia Wuxiao had long anticipated that the Yun Family would never let matters rest. Before this investiture ceremony, he had also secretly received word that the Yun Family seemed to be planning something.

"Holy Lord Xia, rest assured, we have no intention of harming anyone."

"We only want the double-pupiled one to hand over what does not belong to him."

The First Ancestor of the Yun Family spoke with a calm expression.

"Our apologies, Holy Lord Xia, but the Yun Family gave us chips we couldn't refuse."

The old men from the Ye and Gu families said to Xia Wuxiao with helpless expressions.

"Is that so? Are you not afraid of disturbing those old monsters in our Immeasurable Forbidden Ground?"

For the first time, Xia Wuxiao's child-like face showed such a cold and murderous expression.

"You can be completely at ease about that. The powerhouses of our families have also surrounded this island. We will leave as soon as we take the Supreme Bone; it will be very quick."

The First Ancestor of the Yun Family said with a smile, but a closer look would reveal a hint of anxiety and worry in his eyes.

Those old monsters in the depths of the Boundless Holy Land were no simple matter. He hoped the uncles could hold on and absolutely not fall here.

"Heh..."

Xia Wuxiao chuckled softly, seemingly mocking the ignorance of the Yun Family's Old Ancestor... "double-pupiled one, hand over the Supreme Bone..."

At this moment, in the square, the Second Ancestor of the Yun Family clearly had no more time to delay. The aura of a Great Sage erupted, pressing down on Mu Zun as he reached out his hand to demand it.

He thought Mu Zun would be shaken by his pressure until his whole body trembled, and he would sensibly hand over the Supreme Bone.

What the Second Ancestor of the Yun Family didn't expect was that, facing his pressure, Mu Zun's expression remained unchanged, and even his breathing was as steady as usual.

"Courting death!"

He didn't expect him to be such a tough nut to crack.

The Second Ancestor of the Yun Family's face darkened, and he immediately struck, intending to suppress him.

Magic power like a torrential flood transformed into a giant hand, grabbing toward Mu Zun.

"Oh no, the Second Ancestor of the Yun Family has attacked the double-pupiled one!"

"The double-pupiled one won't fall here, will he??"

"If the double-pupiled one falls, the Boundless Holy Land will go insane!!!"

The surrounding forces only felt their scalps tingle.

Thinking of an Boundless Holy Land that had gone completely frantic and disregarded all consequences, they felt their hair stand on end.

"Don't touch the Saint!!"

"Lord Saint!!!"

Countless Immeasurable Disciples roared at this moment, their eyes nearly splitting.

They wanted to rush into the square like madmen, but the aura of the Great Sage caused blood to flow from their seven orifices and their bones to creak and rattle; they could not advance.

Facing the attack of a Great Sage, Mu Zun's lips curled into an arc at this moment.

He pressed two fingers together, and a faint silver light emerged.

The Nine-Leaf Grass appeared; suns and moons fell, time fractured, and Karma ceased to exist.

As the nine leaves fluttered, the heavens and earth were overturned.

Nine-Leaf Sword Intent—the Universe is annihilated.

Every expert present lost consciousness at this instant.

They only saw, amidst that great war where star systems fell, the Universe cracked, and Supremes were like mere weeds—

A humble little blade of grass rooted in soil full of black ash.

It stood alone against the four terrifying figures above it, whose mere auras were enough to drive them insane.

With a slight movement of the Nine-Leaf Grass, the vision before everyone's eyes instantly shattered.

Everything before them became familiar once again.

They had returned to the island square of the Boundless Holy Land.

"Huff... huff... huff..."

"Just now... what happened..."

The legs of all the Cultivators present went weak, and they all collapsed to the ground.

They gasped for air, their eyes vacant, and their consciousness still dazed.

Upon the square.

The body of the Second Ancestor of the Yun Family had already frozen in place.

The next second.

He disappeared.

Yes, he simply vanished into thin air.

Nothing was left behind.
