"I am Yunhai, and I have come to pay my respects to the Red-Clad Fairy!"
After entering, Immortal King Yunhai showed no airs of an Immortal King, bowing ninety degrees to Ye Hongyi, a truly grand gesture.
This made Ye Hongyi narrow her eyes. She knew that other than when she performed the kneeling ceremony to her master upon becoming a disciple, she had rarely gone this far. For Yunhai, as an Immortal King, what was the reason for such a display?
Ye Hongyi was very intelligent. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to pinpoint the mastermind behind the tomb robbers to the Ancient Five Heroes based on just a few clues. This Immortal King Yunhai, with no regard for an Immortal King's dignity, was showing such respect to a Guiyi realm cultivator; he must want something.
Thinking this, Ye Hongyi looked at Immortal King Yunhai and said softly, "Does Immortal King Yunhai have something he needs from me?"
Ye Hongyi didn't like beating around the bush; she always got straight to the point.
"I am here to present gifts to the Red-Clad Fairy and your esteemed disciple." Yunhai originally wanted to say a few more words, but seeing Ye Hongyi's directness, he simply got straight to the point as well.
He was laying his cards on the table; he was here to give gifts!
If this were to spread, his face as Immortal King Yunhai would be completely ruined. Even if he was trying to curry favor, it shouldn't be to this extent, right? What about the dignity of an Immortal King?
At the very least, the expressions of everyone present, including Ye Hongyi, were somewhat strange.
It should be known that congratulatory gifts were being collected by the Su family on their behalf, but this was completely different from presenting gifts in person.
Having the Su family collect congratulatory gifts could be seen as giving face to the Su family's Old Ancestor, an Immortal King. There would be no flaws whether it was done privately or publicly.
But presenting gifts in person, especially when there was no familial connection, would be lowering one's own status. If Ye Hongyi were an Immortal Venerable, that would be fine, but Ye Hongyi was only a Guiyi realm cultivator. Even if Ye Hongyi was a disciple of the Holy Emperor, there was no need for Immortal King Yunhai to go to such lengths.
Immortal King Yuhua watched from the side, frowning, not knowing what this old fox Yunhai was planning.
Ye Hongyi also didn't understand why Immortal King Yunhai was doing this. Was he trying to build a relationship with her to get on the Holy Emperor's good side?
But having cultivated to the Immortal King realm, he couldn't possibly not know that this kind of approach was useless. Having cultivated to the Immortal King realm, Ye Hongyi didn't believe that he didn't understand this principle.
"Immortal King Yunhai, are the gifts so valuable that you need to personally deliver them?" Ye Hongyi could only ask this. She still didn't know that Immortal King Yunhai was Yun Chuan's grandfather.
"Indeed, they are very valuable!"
Immortal King Yunhai nodded.
At this time, Immortal King Yuhua couldn't help but tease, "Old man Yunhai, you don't want to give your Immortal King artifact to Fairy Hongyi, do you?"
Who knew that Immortal King Yunhai would seriously nod and say, "That's right!"
"You... are you not joking?" Immortal King Yuhua looked at Immortal King Yunhai's serious expression, trying to find a flaw in it, but no matter how he looked, he couldn't find that Immortal King Yunhai was joking.
Immortal King Yunhai's words completely shocked everyone present.
Immortal King Yunhai's Immortal King artifact must be his natal weapon.
There was a saying that went, 'When a person is alive, their natal weapon is with them; when a person dies, their natal weapon can still remain!'
For example, the Extreme Dao Emperor Weapons of the many immortal forces in the Red Dust World, after their masters died and fell, their natal Emperor Weapons transformed into guardian spirits, guarding the forces created by their masters, allowing them to transcend the mundane.
Moreover, it was an Immortal King artifact.
To put it bluntly, even if Immortal King Yunhai were to fall, as long as the Immortal King artifact remained in the Yun family, the Yun family could still maintain the foundation to transcend the True Immortal forces.
Now, Immortal King Yunhai was saying that he was going to give his Immortal King artifact away as a gift?
Everyone felt a little dizzy; the amount of information was too much.
Just as everyone was feeling shocked, Yunhai took out a long sword that emitted a cold light.
One side of the long sword was bright and holy, while the other side was dark as an abyss.
"This sword is called Light and Darkness, and it was forged from Light Immortal Gold and Darkness Immortal Gold."
The Light and Darkness Immortal Sword floated beside Immortal King Yunhai. Everyone only felt a sense of reluctance, and a sense of sorrow arose in their hearts.
It was as if they were watching an old partner they had spent countless years with suddenly leave, and this departure was forever.
"Wah..."
The little girl Su Xiao was not very old, but a child's heart was clear and could most directly feel this kind of emotion, so she cried out.
"Don't cry, don't cry!"
Ye Hongyi softly comforted her, but it had no effect. Fortunately, Su Yao was experienced and took Su Xiao from Ye Hongyi's hands, then left the hall and returned to the room, lifting her clothes. The little girl immediately stopped crying because she loved to drink milk the most.
After Su Xiao cried out, the others woke up from this sense of sorrow.
Ye Hongyi frowned slightly and asked, "Immortal King Yunhai, why are you giving me such an important treasure?"
Immortal King Yunhai chuckled, giving a sense of frankness, and said, "When people are about to die, keeping it is useless."
"Yunhai, you..."
At this time, Immortal King Yuhua finally felt the aura of death on Immortal King Yunhai. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say it.
Ye Hongyi didn't know why Immortal King Yunhai wanted to die, but she said, "Then why not leave it to your descendants?"
"Hehe, this old man has many enemies. If they knew that this old man had fallen, they would definitely attack this old man's descendants. Perhaps leaving the Light and Darkness to them could resist them for a while, but if that were the case, those old guys would have a reason to attack."
Yunhai didn't say too much, but everyone present was not a child and understood the reasoning behind it.
In the Azure Flame Realm, everyone revered Azure Flame Immortal Venerable, and this was an immutable iron law.
But where there were people, there was competition, and where there was competition, there would be grudges. Regarding this, as long as the foundation of the Azure Flame Realm was not shaken, Azure Flame Immortal Venerable would not interfere. Otherwise, the Azure Flame Realm would become a stagnant pool.
But Azure Flame Immortal Venerable also formulated a rule, which was that Immortal Kings could not casually attack beings below the Immortal King realm.
Those who could become Immortal King Yunhai's enemies were naturally also in the Immortal King realm.
Immortal King experts might not attack people below the Immortal King realm because of face and dignity, but if Immortal King Yunhai's descendants held an Immortal King-level immortal gold, it would be different. Then the Immortal King would have a reason to attack.
And Immortal King Yunhai giving the Light and Darkness Immortal Sword to Ye Hongyi could not only solve the problem of where the Light and Darkness Immortal Sword would go but also make his enemies fearful.
Look, although I, Yunhai, am dead, the Light and Darkness Immortal Sword is in the hands of the Holy Emperor's disciple. If you want to attack my descendants, you have to consider it carefully.
Ye Hongyi calmly looked at Immortal King Yunhai and the Light and Darkness Immortal Sword. She was considering it.
And Immortal King Yunhai was also waiting for Ye Hongyi's answer. He had prepared a total of two gifts. The first gift was his Immortal King artifact. As for the second gift, if Ye Hongyi didn't accept the first gift, then he wouldn't have the chance to give the second gift.
At this time, Ye Hongyi was communicating with Gu Changsheng.
