Yun Fan and Bi Yao returned to the divine temple.
At this moment, he finally saw Xuan Xuan and Yu Xin after a long absence. However, before the three could rejoice, Bi Yao directly said, "From today on, you are not allowed to be together without my permission. Once I ascend the throne, I will no longer care about you!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the three were stunned.
They had calculated everything, but never expected Bi Yao to pull this trick. It was completely beyond their imagination.
"Why?"
Yun Fan asked unyieldingly. After all, the two women dared not ask, so Yun Fan directly asked.
Bi Yao said, "Master, didn't I say I would prepare a grand gift for you? Until then, you'd better obey my arrangements!"
Upon hearing this, although the two women were helpless, they could only bear the pain of not interacting with Yun Fan.
Yun Fan wanted to see what kind of grand gift Bi Yao had prepared.
Of course, after the previous lesson, Yun Fan knew that as soon as he went out, even if he did nothing, trouble would befall him.
Therefore, this time, he didn't even go out, staying directly in the divine temple.
He thought that by staying in the divine temple, he would avoid trouble, but he didn't expect that this characteristic of his was unavoidable. Even if he stayed in the divine temple, trouble would still find him.
"Young Master, we've found out. It's this kid who has been staying by the Empress's side recently!"
Someone pointed at Yun Fan in the dark.
As soon as these words were spoken, the handsome man became enraged. He was the son of Nine Tribulations Immortal Venerable, Li Mu Yun.
From the moment he first saw the Empress, he was captivated by her. Since then, he had tried many times to get close to her, but all his attempts ended in failure.
This was because the Empress would not see anyone unless they were high-ranking Immortal Venerables.
Helpless, he used his father, Nine Tribulations Immortal Venerable's influence, to get assigned to guard the divine temple. He never expected that before he could even greet the Empress, Yun Fan had already gotten there first, and the Empress was also very warm towards Yun Fan.
In his eyes, any man who got close to the Empress was his love rival. Moreover, why should someone like Yun Fan, who had no background, be so intimate with the Empress?
Driven by jealousy, he decided to get rid of Yun Fan.
Although acting within the divine temple was no different from seeking death, Li Mu Yun firmly believed that as long as his father spoke up for him, even if it was discovered that he was the culprit, the Empress might not punish him.
After all, his father was one of the earliest to pledge allegiance to the Empress and held a very extraordinary position in the divine temple.
Furthermore, he believed that as long as his actions were discreet, the Empress might not be able to find out that it was him. He could then just find a scapegoat.
With this thought, Li Mu Yun immediately emerged from the shadows and approached Yun Fan with an ill expression.
"What do you want?"
Yun Fan could tell at a glance that the two of them had unkind intentions and were likely looking for trouble. What was the point? He had been staying honestly in the divine temple.
Li Mu Yun said, "Kid, you look suspicious. Did you steal something from the Empress!"
"Do I need to steal her things?"
Yun Fan said dismissively, "If I want her things, I can get them!"
Let alone things, even people, but currently, Yun Fan was trying to avoid Bi Yao at all costs.
Upon hearing this, Li Mu Yun became even more furious. It seemed Yun Fan was exceptionally favored by the Empress. If this continued, it would be disastrous.
Sooner or later, he would win the Empress's heart, and then Li Mu Yun would have no chance.
Therefore, he immediately said to Yun Fan, "Stop quibbling. If you stole something, come with us!"
When he sensed Li Mu Yun's killing intent, Yun Fan had a bad premonition. Was this really just a trip?
"Sorry, I don't have time!"
Yun Fan said bluntly.
"Since that's the case, don't blame us for being impolite!"
The next moment, Li Mu Yun, who considered himself extremely powerful, unleashed a fatal blow towards Yun Fan.
Seeing that the opponent was going for his life, Yun Fan became enraged. His honesty did not mean he was a pushover.
He then decisively counterattacked, throwing a punch at Li Mu Yun.
"Bang!"
After one punch, Li Mu Yun was sent staggering backward.
"So strong!"
He never expected that as a master of the Fifth Realm, he would be repelled by Yun Fan with a single punch.
Then, he directly unleashed a surge of power left by Nine Tribulations Immortal Venerable. Instantly, the power of an Immortal Venerable surged towards Yun Fan. Even though Yun Fan tried to dodge, it was futile, and he was struck by the Immortal Venerable's power.
"Pfft!"
Yun Fan spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body was even pierced. It should be known that this was only because of the protective jade pendant given to him by Hong Lian. Otherwise, he would have died on the spot.
"He's not dead yet?"
Li Mu Yun was shocked. He never expected Yun Fan to survive such an attack.
Terrified, he turned to flee with his subordinates. However, at this moment, how could Yun Fan let him escape?
In an instant, he caught up with them and then unleashed his powerful Sixth Realm strength, instantly killing Li Mu Yun and his subordinates on the spot.
...
Li Mu Yun's death sent shockwaves throughout the divine temple. Although he was a minor character, his father, Nine Tribulations Immortal Venerable, was the most powerful being besides Bi Yao.
Nine Tribulations Immortal Venerable was completely enraged and directly came to the divine temple, arrogantly demanding the culprit from the Empress.
Bi Yao had also learned that Li Mu Yun was killed by Yun Fan, as Yun Fan had informed her of the situation after killing him.
"Empress, your subordinate killed my son. Please hand over the murderer, and I also request an explanation from you!"
Nine Tribulations Immortal Venerable said arrogantly.
Relying on his strength and status, Nine Tribulations Immortal Venerable was actually very defiant towards Bi Yao. Although he had pledged allegiance to her, in his eyes, he was on equal footing with Bi Yao and did not obey her commands or directives.
Bi Yao sneered upon hearing this, "Then, what kind of explanation do you want?"
"My son fancied you in life, so I request the Empress to hold a posthumous wedding with my son!"
Bi Yao did not show anger upon hearing this, but continued to ask, "What if I refuse?"
"If you refuse, then I will lead the Immortal Venerables who have pledged allegiance to you and leave!"
Nine Tribulations Immortal Venerable stated directly.
At this moment, Bi Yao asked the other Immortal Venerables, "Do you wish to leave?"
As soon as these words were spoken, many Immortal Venerables quickly stated, "We are loyal to the Empress. How could we listen to Nine Tribulations Immortal Venerable and leave? We implore the Empress not to believe his slander!"
"What?"
Instantly, Nine Tribulations Immortal Venerable was stunned.
