My Crazy Upgrade System-Chapter 64 - 63: Coercion

Yi Tianyun’s appearance at the entrance stunned everyone. Showing up at a critical juncture like this was, frankly, no different from suicide.

Of the three factions present, two held a grudge against him and had even issued a warrant for his arrest. To now appear before them—wasn’t this just courting death?

The Celestial Spirit Sect was also technically an enemy. Even though their conflict was limited to the tournament, they undoubtedly resented Yi Tianyun in their hearts.

"Haha, I can’t believe it, kid. You actually came back. We’ve been looking for you for so long, and you just had to deliver yourself to our doorstep. Should I call you courageous, or should I call you stupid?"

Qingyun Cheng roared with laughter as he stared at Yi Tianyun, his eyes filled with killing intent.

’I never thought Yi Tianyun would serve himself up on a platter at a time like this. In that case, I’ll just wipe them all out at once. A happy ending for everyone!’

"I’d say it’s courage. You, on the other hand, are the stupid one. A fool like you wants to marry our Palace Master? In your dreams!" Yi Tianyun sneered. He had just returned, and hearing this news made his anger flare.

"In my dreams, you say? Do you really think it’s just a dream, given our combined strength?"

Qingyun Cheng looked at him coldly and chuckled. "Believe it or not, I can crush you with a single finger!"

This wasn’t just an empty boast. If Yi Tianyun’s cultivation was only at the eighth or ninth level of the Spirit Refining Stage, a single finger truly would be enough to deal with him.

"You dare try?"

Shi Xueyun’s gaze was ice-cold as her killing intent erupted. The entire hall of Merak Palace was instantly filled with a bone-chilling cold as the power of her seventh-level Core Formation Stage cultivation burst forth!

The expressions of the three Sect Masters changed, and they couldn’t help but curse inwardly. ’This Shi Xueyun is far too talented,’ they thought. ’To reach this level at such a young age... breaking through to the Spirit Pill Stage in the future will be no problem for her at all.’

"Palace Master Shi, your cultivation is indeed impressive, but how do you think you compare to the few of us? Can you defeat all three of us at once?" Qingyun Cheng wasn’t afraid of her in the slightest. He turned his head to a few of his elders and ordered, "Seize him!"

"You dare!"

Shi Xueyun drew a Spirit Sword and shot forward, charging straight ahead. But Xiang Tianya and Jia Zhiyun quickly intercepted her, clashing with her in a single move.

CLANG! All three were forced back, but it was obvious that Shi Xueyun had gotten the worse of the exchange. Facing two opponents at once, she was naturally at a disadvantage.

"Palace Master!"

The Merak Palace elders rushed to her side, their expressions grim. Now, they too were furious.

’Their demands are getting more and more outrageous! First, they wanted all the entry slots, and now they demand our Palace Master marry Qingyun Cheng! No matter what crime Yi Tianyun committed, even if he did kill their sons, making such a demand is simply too insolent!’

"I’m fine! Save Tianyun!" Shi Xueyun’s only concern was for Yi Tianyun; she was terrified he would be captured.

"Too late!"

By now, the two elders had already surrounded Yi Tianyun, watching his every move. Even if Shi Xueyun broke through now, she wouldn’t be able to rescue him. Not only was she too far away, but the three Sect Masters were also blocking her path, making a rescue impossible.

Even with the help of her three elders, it would be useless. The opposing side had elders of their own, and their skill levels were roughly equal. Unless they possessed some Heaven-defying Martial Arts or a Heaven-defying Weapon, there was no way to break through and save him.

"Tianyun!" A cold light flickered in Shi Xueyun’s eyes, growing colder and colder. Her entire body began to emit an Extreme Cold Qi as she prepared to unleash her full power.

"Palace Master Shi, I dare you to move again. I can’t guarantee what my two elders will do to him."

Qingyun Cheng smiled faintly. "I’ll give you one last chance. Hand over all the entry slots, and marry me... However, this time, you’ll also have to add that special item from your Merak Palace. If you don’t, we’ll have to take action, and don’t blame us for being ruthless then. Of course, if you don’t hand it over willingly, we can always take it ourselves."

"So that’s it! You’ve been plotting this all along!" the Great Elder seethed, gritting her teeth. Now she finally understood what was happening.

Yi Tianyun was just a pretext, a flimsy excuse. What they truly wanted was the Treasure of Merak Palace!

"So what if we are? The choice is right in front of you. Hand over the Treasure and the entry slots, and your Merak Palace might have a chance to survive. Don’t even think about relying on those disciples you married off. The Cyan Profound Mansion certainly won’t be helping you, so who else do you expect? If you refuse, not only will he die, but Merak Palace will be completely wiped from existence!"

Qingyun Cheng roared with laughter. The situation was completely under their control; there was no need to worry about anything going wrong.

Shi Xueyun clenched her jaw, her eyes fixed on the trapped Yi Tianyun. She slowly lowered the Spirit Sword in her hand and said in a cold voice, "You want that thing? Fine! I’ll get it for you, just as long as you let Tianyun go!"

"You’re one lucky kid. Palace Master Shi is completely devoted to you. To save you, she’s even willing to give up that treasure. It’s truly enviable..." Qingyun Cheng hadn’t expected Shi Xueyun to go this far.

Surrounded by the two elders, Yi Tianyun watched Shi Xueyun with a complicated expression. He had been about to make his move when she said those words, and he was deeply moved. He didn’t know what this treasure was, but for three major factions to mobilize for it, it certainly couldn’t be anything ordinary.

As for the entry slots to the Celestial Sinking Ruins, those were basically an afterthought. Seizing that Treasure was their main objective!

’Of course. Because she is my dearest aunt... No, I should say my dearest sister. A sister worth protecting...’

"Mad Experience Mode, activate!"

"Tenfold Experience Card, activate!"

"Double Madness Value Card, activate!"

"Double Skill Card, activate!"

"Consume five Double Experience Pills!"

"Luck Aura, activate!"

He activated everything. Anything that could be turned on, he activated without a shred of hesitation, holding nothing back!

After activating everything, the Wind-Chasing Blade appeared in Yi Tianyun’s hand. He viciously slashed at the two elders beside him. His speed was simply too fast, like a bolt of lightning wrapping around them. With a gruesome SLICE, the two elders were cut in two. They collapsed to the ground with their eyes wide open, dead before they even knew what hit them!

It would be more accurate to say they didn’t even know how they died. It was simply too fast—so fast they couldn’t even see it clearly. More importantly, they never expected Yi Tianyun to suddenly attack, so they didn’t have time to react at all.

"Ding! Successfully killed a Divine Forging Sect elder. Obtained 130,000 Experience, 500 Forging Mastery Proficiency, Divine Wind Slash, Thunderbolt Step, and 2,000 Madness Value!"

"Ding! Successfully killed a Divine Forging Sect elder. Obtained 120,000 Experience, 500 Forging Mastery Proficiency, and 2,000 Madness Value!"

’I can even gain Forging Mastery Proficiency?’ he thought. ’They must have been blacksmiths to provide these proficiency points!’ But he paid no mind to these notifications. His gaze was incomparably cold, his killing intent soaring to the heavens.

"I’d like to see who dares to bully my sister! Who dares to bully Merak Palace! Let alone the Treasure, you won’t even take a single blade of grass from this place!" Yi Tianyun leveled the Wind-Chasing Blade, and with a flash of thunder light, his killing intent surged.
