Yun Lintian and Yun Huanxin arrived at the treasury and saw that Yun Lingwei had already removed all the restrictions around the area. Yun Lintian hastily put everything into his interspatial ring and made sure there was nothing left before he, along with Yun Huanxin and Yun Lingwei, departed from this place.
"Fourth Aunt, take these Profound Stones to activate the mist formation as well. I want to cover their eyes. And you can lower the defense slightly. Let them break formation in the next five minutes." Yun Lintian took out several middle-grade Profound Stones and handed them to Yun Lingwei.
"Okay." Yun Lingwei was slightly puzzled. She retrieved the Profound Stones and headed towards the eyes of the formation.
Meanwhile, Yun Lintian and Yun Huanxin went to the healing chamber where the remains of the disciples from the Misty Cloud Sect were kept.
Yun Lintian stood in front of them, wearing a solemn expression. A flame of fury ignited within his heart. He vowed to make the enemy suffer the most excruciating pain possible.
"Sisters, I'm sorry. I failed to come back on time. But you don't have to worry. I will make sure the enemy pays the price sooner or later." Yun Lintian bowed ninety degrees to 176 lifeless bodies lying on the ice beds.
"I'll take everyone to the place. You can rest in peace there." Yun Lintian stored all of them in his interspatial ring and turned to Yun Huanxin. "Let's go. Before we leave this place, I will give them a big gift." A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he said this.
For some reason, Yun Huanxin felt a chill running down her spine at his words. She nodded slightly and led him to Yun Lingwei.
"We didn't leave anything behind, did we?" Yun Lintian asked.
Yun Huanxin and Yun Lingwei used their spiritual sense to double-check everything one last time and gave Yun Lintian their confirmation.
Yun Lintian sat down at the eyes of the formation and made a few adjustments.
Yun Lingwei's pupils contracted slightly when she saw this. She immediately recognized his actions. "Lintian, are you...?"
"Yes. I'm going to do that." Yun Lintian admitted nonchalantly. He stood up and looked at Qi Qianxing and the enemy with a menacing aura.
Yun Lingwei nervously swallowed her saliva and glanced at Yun Huanxin, as if she had something to say but ultimately chose not to.
"Let's go." Yun Lintian waved his hand and headed towards the transmission formation, disappearing into it with Yun Huanxin and Yun Lingwei.
At this moment, Qi Qianxing frowned upon seeing that the Misty Cloud Peak was enveloped in a dense white mist. He spread his spiritual sense out but could not penetrate the barrier.
"All of you, come with me." Qi Qianxing realized that something was wrong. He floated to the front of the barrier and gathered profound energy in his right hand before forcefully striking the barrier simultaneously with the others.
Boom!
The barrier shook, and a crack instantly spread out across it like a spiderweb before crumbling in the next moment.
"Go!" Qi Qianxing ordered, but he stood calmly in the air and did not go inside.
Several of Qi Qianxing's subordinates quickly entered and searched for any signs of life, but they found no trace. Just as they were about to go back, several red lights shone brightly around Misty Cloud Peak.
"Run!" One man among them shouted when he noticed a fatal danger. However, before he could move, the Misty Cloud Peak exploded in every direction.
Rumble—
Qi Qianxing conjured a protective barrier in front of him with a grimacing expression. Now, he was certain that all the people from the Misty Cloud Sect had already escaped from this place… How could they use the transmission formation with such a large group? Besides, I've already placed a disruptor around here. He thought he had already overestimated them, but in truth, he still underestimated them.
"Your Majesty." The old man with a white beard, emerged from the wreckage and knelt before Qi Qianxing. Among them, he was the only one who survived because he was the sole practitioner of the Ruler Profound Realm.
"Take your time." Qi Qianxing didn't feel much when he saw his subordinates die before him. The only thing on his mind right now was, where did Yun Qianxue and the rest go?
"Contact our personnel at the borders. No one is allowed to pass." Qi Qianxing sent an order using the sound transmission jade.
***
"Third Aunt, let's go north. Qi Qianxing was probably closing the borders by now. We need to hurry." Yun Lintian's group appeared in a cave near the river.
"North? Understood." Yun Huanxin was curious about it.
Yun Lintian called out to the silver gate and said, "Fourth Aunt, you go back first and find a place for everyone to settle. I'll go back after we left the border."
Yun Lingwei nodded. She briefly examined the silver gate before entering.
Following that, Yun Huanxin brought Yun Lintian to the Northern Border of the Heavenly Fortune Nations at lightning speed.
In the next thirty minutes, both of them arrived at the border and cautiously observed several guards on a wall.
"Can we pass it without them knowing?" Yun Lintian asked.
Yun Huanxin checked the formation around the wall for a while before giving him a confident nod. "I can perform a long spatial leap."
"That's great. Let's go." Yun Lintian heaved a sigh of relief. Truthfully, although he didn't fear Qi Qianxing's pursuit, he still didn't want to leave a trace behind.
Yun Huanxin gathered the spatial element for a moment before he took Yun Lintian and vanished from the spot. Later, they reappeared one kilometer away from the wall. No matter what, Qi Qianxing would never imagine there were only two of them leaving the Heavenly Fortune Nation instead of a large group as he expected.
"Are you alright, Third Aunt?" Yun Lintian asked with concern as he saw Yun Huanxin panting slightly.
Yun Huanxin replied, "I can still do five more jumps. Let's do it." Without waiting for Yun Lintian to respond, she took him away immediately.
After ensuring that they were far enough from the border, Yun Lintian discovered a secluded location to open the silver gate, and went in with Yun Huanxin.
In the Land of Beyond Heaven, Yun Qianxue sat beside the Profound Spirit Lake with her legs soaking in while others were busy inspecting around.
Yun Lintian arrived beside her. "Mom, why don't you get into the lake? You will recover faster by doing that."
Yun Qianxue tilted her head to look at him with a smile and asked, "Is it done?"
Yun Lintian nodded and confessed to her honestly, "Mom, I've blown the entire Misty Cloud Peak. I hope you will forgive me." He didn't know whether Yun Qianxue would feel sad because of it.
Yun Qianxue's expression remained unchanged. She replied softly, "You are the Sect Master now. You can do everything as you wish."
Yun Lintian hurriedly responded, "Mom, I will give back the position to you once you have recovered."
Yun Qianxue didn't reply. She changed the topic. "Why don't you tell me where this place is?"
Yun Lintian knew that she deliberately avoided the topic, but he didn't insist any further. "Do you remember the silver necklace around my neck?" Seeing Yun Qianxue nod, he continued, "I don't know what's going on, but it somehow awakened and transformed into this state."
Yun Qianxue frowned slightly. To her knowledge, there wasn't such a profound artifact that could create a space like this. This silver necklace was something from the higher world.
Seeing she fell into her own thoughts, Yun Lintian said. "Mom, I am going to bury our sisters at the mountain over there. What do you think?"
Yun Qianxue stopped thinking and looked at the lush mountain range behind the dazzling waterfall. She replied. "That's good. Brings Mom there too."
Yun Lintian immediately gathered everyone and moved to the mountain range. The mountain wasn't high; it was only around 700 meters, enough to see everything within the Land of Beyond Heaven from the top of it. The scenery around here could be described as breathtakingly beautiful. Countless maple and oak trees were intermingling, creating a tranquil atmosphere.
Yun Lintian chose a relatively flat piece of land to bury 176 bodies, each with their name engraved on a gravestone. The atmosphere was solemn, filled with sorrow as several people wept silently. This would be the last time they would see their beloved friends and fellow sisters.
After completing everything, Yun Lintian turned around to face everyone and asked, "Do you want to seek revenge?"
Everyone looked at him, and some of them nodded their heads while tears streamed down their faces.
"Good! We will work hard from now on, and I will provide all of you with higher level of profound arts. At the bottom of the lake, there are numerous high-grade Profound Stones. I will give them to you. All of you will have an equal share, regardless of your current level." Yun Lintian said.
Seeing everyone silent, Yun Lintian continued, "Today, let's take a rest first and I will introduce a new rule to everyone tomorrow. Now you can go." He then turned to the four Hall Masters. "Four aunts, please come with me."
Yun Lintian brought Yun Qianxue, Yun Meilan, and the four Hall Masters to his villa. When they entered the living room, they were immediately drawn to the peculiar furniture.
"Where is this place? And what is this black box?" Yun Lingwei examined the TV with interest as she found it novel.
Yun Lintian smiled and said, "This is my house."
"Your house?" Yun Ruanyu asked in confusion.
Yun Lintian nodded. "More precisely, this is my father's house."
His words instantly dumbfounded everyone.
