Inside the moon palace, Yun Lintian stared at the phenomenon in the sky with a solemn expression. His grip on the Heaven Piercing Sword was so tight that blood seeped through the gap between his fingers.
"It's fine," Dian Lei spoke gently. "This will be good for you."
Yun Lintian looked at him with a frown. "What do you mean? And why did you help me?"
"It's a long story. My job is to make sure you don't die here," Dian Lei responded. "As for the return of these ancient gods, it has pros and cons. But trust me. You will benefit from it."
He glanced at the unconscious Yue Yun and said. "Protect her."
Although curious, Yun Lintian did not inquire further. He quickly reached Yue Yun's side, gently lifting her while checking her condition. Surprisingly, her injury was minor; she had simply overexerted herself.
The tremor persisted for several minutes before gradually subsiding.
Swoosh!
