"Martial uncle..." Beihan Chu thought he misheard, "What did you say...?"

"Give it to him!" Lu Bubai's voice was even heavier, and his gaze was cold.

Not just Beihan Chu, but everyone could not believe their own ears.

Although the Hidden Sky Sword was suggested by Beihan Chu to compensate Yun Che for the slander, that was due to Beihan Chu's nature. Lu Bubai was completely sure that Yun Che did not win with his own strength against the ten great Divine Kings. It was used to completely seal off Yun Che's escape route.

Otherwise, even if there was a small risk or possibility, Beihan Chu wouldn't have used the Hidden Sky Sword as a risk.

And now, Beihan Chu had suffered a crushing defeat, and was in a sorry state... his original intention with the Hidden Sky Sword, did he really have to compensate Yun Che?

Hidden Sky Sword was not an ordinary profound sword... The Hidden Sword Palace was named after the Hidden Sky Sword. One could imagine its status and importance in the Nine Glorious Heavenly Palace.

It was the treasure of the sect, as well as a symbol of honor!

To hand over the Hidden Sky Sword, it was not only to lose a sword, but to lose the face of the entire Nine Glorious Heavenly Palace!

"No...I cannot!" Beihan Chu shook his head, as his whole body was trembling. "How can the Hidden Sky Sword fall into the hands of an outsider?"

As the proud Divine Sovereign that made the Northern Territory Heavenly Monarch List, the Nine Glorious Heavenly Palace Young Palace Master did not hesitate to renege on his promise in front of everyone in order to protect the Hidden Sky Sword.

But having said that, he had already completely lost all of his face in front of Yun Che. If he were to lose the Hidden Sky Sword just like this, no matter how much attention he received in the Nine Glorious Heavenly Palace, he would still receive a heavy punishment.

Lu Bubai's face darkened as he revealed a faint trace of anger, "The Hidden Sky Sword is indeed the sword that rules over the Nine Glorious Heavenly Palace. However, a loss is a loss. The Hidden Sky Sword can be lost, but the dignity of the Nine Glorious Heavenly Palace cannot be lost."

"..." Beihan Chu was even more shocked.

Because the Hidden Sky Sword was too important... Beyond the so-called importance of dignity.

At this time, Lu Bubai's sound transmission suddenly came into his ears, "Don't say too much, hand the Hidden Sky Sword over to him right now! This Yun Che, his strength, should not be any weaker than mine!"

These following words made Beihan Chu's face change drastically.

"Moreover... It is very likely that he is someone from a King Realm!"

Although Beihan Chu had just entered the Divine Sovereign, he was still a real Divine Sovereign, but he did not have the strength to struggle in front of Yun Che. And when Lu Bubai struck Yun Che with his attack, Yun Che did not have a single trace of injury, which was telling Lu Bubai that Yun Che's strength was most likely not weaker than him!

A Fifth Level Divine King was comparable to a Middle Stage Divine Sovereign. If such a ridiculous thing really existed, then it could only be from a King Realm!

Yun Che knew full well that they came from the Nine Glorious Heavenly Palace, and that Beihan Chu was even the most important person to be groomed by the Nine Glorious Heavenly Palace, yet, Yun Che acted ruthless and did not have any scruples. All of these proved that Yun Che was most likely a junior who came from a certain King Realm!

"King Realm," these two words made Beihan Chu's anger and killing intent in his heart seemed to have been stomped on ruthlessly. He was forced to stop, and a stern look appeared on his face, "Fine, I, Beihan Chu... will live up to my own words!"

His palm turned and the Hidden Sky Sword appeared, as he pushed it towards Yun Che.

Yun Che stretched out his hand and grabbed it. Without even looking at it, he put it away, as if he had picked up a rock by the side of the road.

They could only watch as the Hidden Sky Sword disappeared into Yun Che's hands. Regardless of whether it was Beihan Chu or Lu Bubai, both of their faces twitched.

"Don't worry, I'll go talk to the Main Palace Master and your Honored Master." Lu Bubai once again sent a sound transmission to Beihan Chu, "The Hidden Sky Sword and my Nine Glorious Heavenly Palace have the most primitive soul connection... If he is not from a King Realm, he will not be able to escape."

If Yun Che really came from a King Realm, no matter what they cannot continue to offend him.

However, if they found out in the future that he did not come from a King Realm, they would no longer have to worry about him.

Through the soul connection with the Hidden Sky Sword, they could easily determine the location of the Hidden Sky Sword. With the power of the Nine Glorious Heavenly Palace, taking it back from Yun Che was a piece of cake!

Lu Bubai nodded to Yun Che and said, "Young Palace Master has extraordinary talent, but he is still young. Receiving such a heavy setback will greatly benefit his future. On this point, thank you very much... Northern Cold, do you have anything else to say about this outcome? "

With Lu Bubai's status, his attitude was already hinting and deciding everything. How could the Northern Cold Divine Sovereign dare to object again? His expressions immediately became serious, and he tightly suppressed all of his negative emotions of Yun Che. "Our three sects' ten profound practitioners lost to Southern Phoenix Yun Che by himself, and what everyone has witnessed is unquestionable.

"Center Ruins Realm from tomorrow onward... The next five hundred years will all be spent to the Southern Phoenix Divine Kingdom."

With every word he said, the Northern Cold Divine Sovereign's heart would drip with blood. He tried his best to control himself from saying the last sentence, but there was still a clear tremble in his tone.

"Eastern and Western Ruins, what about you?" Lu Bubai asked again.

"Of course there are no objection." The Western Ruins Divine Sovereign was smiling, but his smile was extremely stiff and hard to see.

"... Congratulations, Southern Phoenix." The Eastern Ruins Divine Sovereign closed his eyes and did not open them for a long time.

Beside him, Dong Xueyan was looking at Yun Che in a daze... The palm print on her face had not faded, but she no longer felt any pain. For the first time in her life, she truly felt a burning heart regret.

Her most respected brother, Dong Xueci was crippled by Yun Che with a single strike. How could the dazzling halo of Beihan Chu also be stepped on so easily by him?

Thinking back to how Dong Xueci and her had been clamoring in front of Yun Che, like two ignorant and laughable clowns... No, in his eyes, she was definitely no better than a clown.

The battlefield was completely silent. Lu Bubai had reached an extreme compromise, and there was even a clear sign of goodwill. Not only did it deeply frighten the Three Great Realm Kings, it also undoubtedly shocked everyone present... They couldn't even imagine what kind of existence Exalted Bubai was.

Yun Che, this person of unknown origin seemed to have appeared out of thin air... Who exactly was he!

Nanhuang Chanyi had made him fight in the end not because she was crazy, but because it was clear that she was bringing the three sects into a trap by suggesting that one person fight against ten people from the three sects.

Even she had rejected Beihan Chu publicly, could it be that it was also because of Yun Che?

Behind Yun Che, there was something stronger than the Nine Glorious Heavenly Palace... A backer?

"Chanyi, he... Who is he? Who exactly is he?" Nanhuang Jian asked twice and his excitement was hard to suppress. Until now, his mind was still a little dizzy.

"Yun Che." Nanhuang Chanyi replied.

"..." Nanhuang Mofeng also turned around at this time, his old head drooping as he said with difficulty, "This old one... He had eyes but were unable to see anything, and had even repeated this action...Thinking too highly of oneself... Offending from below... I am willing to accept whatever punishment your majesty wishes to bestow upon me."

"We'll discuss this matter when we get back. Prepare to take over the entire Center Ruins Realm." Nanhuang Chanyi said.

"Yes." This time, the Nanhuang Mofeng deeply bowed, as his answer was full of respect.

"Chanyi," the Southern Phoenix Divine Sovereign transmitted in a low voice, "These were all planned by you for the Battle of the Center Ruins?"

"No," said Nanhuang Chanyi, "It's just a coincidence that I met such an extraordinary person, and that he was able to conveniently do it."

Southern Phoenix Divine Sovereign, "..."

"Controlling all of the Center Ruins Realm for five hundred years, if no other accidents were to happen, then the Southern Ruins Realm will grow to the extent of barely being on par with the other three realms." Nanhuang Chanyi slightly lifted her eyes, and looked at Yun Che before saying, "But..."

"This result is not for nothing. I'm looking forward to what kind of reward he wants."

The core of this Battle of the Center Ruins was no longer the four realms of the Nether Ruins, but Yun Che alone.

The scene of him ruining Beihan Chu and making Lu Bubai lower his head in submission was simply too shocking. At this moment, everyone was no longer looking at him with ridicule and pity. There was only shock and fear.

"Let's go." Yun Che turned around and said to Qianye Ying'er, "After doing so much, it's time to collect the debt."

"Now is not the time to make enemies, you can't even afford to offend the Nine Glorious Heavenly Palace!" Qianye Ying'er muttered coldly, "You can only count yourself lucky that we did not trigger a huge conflict this time. If you still dare to act on your own..."

She couldn't think of any threatening words. After all, she was completely dependent on Yun Che in their current states.

Lu Bubai did not stop him and he did not speak. From the beginning to the end, he did not inquire about his origins.

He placed his hand on Beihan Chu's body and prevented him from making any unusual movements. At the same time as he stared at Yun Che's back, he also briefly stopped on Qianye Ying'er's body... She and Yun Che both had auras of a Fifth Level Divine King. That head of light golden hair was extremely rare in Northern God Territory.

"Martial Uncle, could it be that..." Seeing Yun Che disappear from his line of sight, no matter how much Beihan Chu felt, he could not be willing to give up.

"Shut up." Lu Bubai reprimanded. He greatly appreciates Beihan Chu, so he came to the Nether Ruins Five Realms and was willing to stay behind him on this trip just to protect him. Normally, he rarely spoke too much to him, but at this moment, his mood was extremely poor. Just controlling his emotions was enough for him to put all his effort.

"..." Beihan Chu's lips trembled.

.........

He didn't dare to think about how ugly he was right now, but he knew that all of his ugly looks were clearly seen by the millions of profound practitioners present. Even these lowly profound practitioners were currently pitying him.

Yes, pity....

To be so casually beaten into a dead dog, to the point of losing his Hidden Sky Sword and to even have to watch Yun Che leave safely without even daring to pursue the matter...

It wouldn't be long before his ugly behavior today would spread out. He would become the joke of the Nether Ruins Five Realms, the joke of the Nine Glorious Heavenly Palace, and the joke of the Northern Territory Heavenly Monarch List.

Shame, what a terrifying thing. It was many times more painful than cultivating... The chaos in his mind replayed the events from before. For the first time in his life, he knew what it meant to die from shame.

Beihan Chu's body trembled, as his pupils were turning white. Under a burning heart fury, his entire body shook and his blood flow reversed before vomiting out a large mouthful of blood.

"Chu'er!" The Northern Cold Divine Sovereign was shocked as he hurriedly supported him. His heart twitched as he looked at the grey pupils in Beihan Chu's eyes... Beihan Chu grew up in reverence, and even when he reached the Nine Glorious Heavenly Palace, he was still able to release an incomparably dazzling halo of light. His life had gone smoothly, so how could he withstand such humiliation and shock today?

"..." Lu Bubai heaved a heavy sigh.

It was at this moment that the profound ark that had been floating above the battlefield that Beihan Chu and Lu Bubai rode, the dark formation that was carried on it suddenly shattered.

This formation was connected to Beihan Chu's internal qi, so it was impossible for it to be loose by a person inside. However, under the heavy destruction of Beihan Chu's soul, the formation had also crumbled.

The abnormal sound caused everyone to shift their gazes towards the sky... Amidst the scattered black fog, a petite and delicate girl's figure flew out and quickly fled towards the north.

"Hmph." Lu Bubai let out a cold snort of disdain. He leaped into the air and pounced like a fiery eagle on the girl who was trying to escape.

The young girl looked very young. She was dressed all in white and her cultivation was only at the late stage of the Divine Soul Realm. Even if she escaped from the cage, it was still impossible for her to escape from an existence like Lu Bubai.

Sensing the imminent crisis behind her, the girl turned around, but she was not afraid. Instead, she appeared cold and indifferent, as if she did not match her age. With a quick wave of her hand, a bolt of lightning flashed through the sky, striking at Lu Bubai.

Crack!

Lu Bubai completely ignored this attack. The lightning had struck him right on the head, but the power of a trivial Divine Soul was unable to harm even a single strand of his hair.

"!?" Yun Che suddenly stopped in his tracks, and his brows sank.
