A week had already passed by in a blink of an eye since the Black Jade mine’s incident. With Zhou Qingyu’s “leaking news” operation, the current Black Jade Island was filled with various forces from all over the world, led by the Myriad Pill Palace.
During this period, Yun Lintian didn’t go out much as he was aware of his own situation. As the last person that came into contact with the Scarlet Soul Emperor, he was naturally being sought out.
However, Yun Lintian knew that it won’t be long before they found him. With the influence of the Myriad Pill Palace, it was difficult for Zhou Qingyu and Lei Feifei to protect him.
Knock! Knock!
While Yun Lintian was leisurely reading a book in his room, a knocking sound rang out in the door direction. He didn’t think much and went to open it.
Two middle-aged men in white with oppressing auras appeared before Yun Lintian. They briefly scanned Yun Lintian from head to toe, and one of them asked. “Are you Mu Chen?”
Yun Lintian frowned slightly and asked. “Who are you?”
“You don’t need to know. Come with us. Our Master wants to see you.” The middle-aged man said calmly.
Even though he had expected this beforehand, Yun Lintian didn’t expect these people would be so rude. He stared at them for a moment and smiled. “What if I don’t go?”
Another middle-aged man with a muscular build said coldly upon hearing this. “You have no choice. Do you think Zhou Qingyu and Lei Feifei can protect you?”
Yun Lintian was puzzled inwardly as he didn’t know which force these two came from. He shook his head and said. “No, I had never counted on them.”
“It’s good that you know. Hurry up and come with us.” The strong-built middle-aged man snorted coldly.
“Big Brother Yun, I can feel the lightning energy in them.” Linlin suddenly sent a sound transmission to Yun Lintian as she stared at the two middle-aged men curiously.
Hearing this, Yun Lintian seemed to guess something. Were they coming from the Divine Thunder Palace?
Seeing Yun Lintian didn’t move, the strong-built middle-aged man made a grasping motion. The space around Yun Lintian immediately compressed, completely sealing him.
Yun Lintian’s eyes flashed with a cold glint. Since the opposite party intended to use force, there was no need for him to be polite. An ice-blue radiance instantly burst out of Yun Lintian’s body, letting him avoid the space confinement.
The eyes of the two middle-aged men narrowed slightly as they perceived an immense ice profound energy that could easily surpass any Saint Profound practitioner coming out of Yun Lintian. It was clearly impossible for a young man at the seventh level of Heaven Profound Realm to have this level of strength.
The strong-built middle-aged man stepped forward and stuck his palm covered with dazzling lightning out toward Yun Lintian. However, he soon discovered his entire arm was actually turned into an ice sculpture. No matter how hard to try to get rid of the frost, it was totally useless.
Another middle-aged man on the side seeing the situation was not good. He didn’t care anymore and pointed his finger at Yun Lintian. “Lightning Blade!”
Instantly, a sharp lightning blade appeared on the tip of his finger, ruthlessly slashing toward Yun Lintian.
Seeing this scene, Yun Lintian’s eyes narrowed slightly. He immediately retreated at lightning speed and stomped one foot on the formation’s eyes beneath him.
In that instant, a powerful force enveloped the whole room, extending toward the hallway. The lightning blade slashing at Yun Lintian abruptly collided with an invisible wall and utterly vanished.
The two middle-aged men realized they had just made a huge mistake. They quickly reacted by charging at Yun Lintian, aiming to grab him before the latter could control the formation.
Yun Lintian made a few complicated hand-seals, and the entire room seemed to freeze instantly. The movement of the middle-aged men became sluggish. Their speed dropped by half, and Yun Lintian could easily escape their grasp.
After avoiding the middle-aged men, Yun Lintian clapped his hands together, and countless sword profound lights immediately appeared in the air, pointing their sharp points at the middle-aged men.
“Goodbye.” Yun Lintian said coldly, and all the sword profound lights swiftly bombarded the middle-aged men in all directions. ．ｔ
Puff! Puff!
Because of the strong suppression from the formation, the two middle-aged men couldn’t avoid the sword profound lights as they had imagined. Their bodies were instantly covered with deep wounds, blood gushing out like a fountain. If this continued further, they would definitely lose their life here.
As Yun Lintian was about to finish the opponents, he felt a chill running down his spine and instinctively executed the Shadow Step.
Boom!
A thick golden lightning bolt descended out of nowhere, piercing the formation, and landed on Yun Lintian’s original position, leaving a massive crater in the ground.
Yun Lintian reappeared in the hallway and looked at the crater in a cold sweat. This was the first time he encountered such a powerful lightning attack. What surprised him the most was it could easily pass through his formation. What kind of strength was that?
Clap! Clap! Clap!
A loud applaud suddenly resounded from a distance, causing Yun Lintian to look in that direction, and he saw a handsome man appear at the end of the hallway. This person was clad in a luxury golden robe. His entire body exuded lightning energy that was so pure, almost similar to Linlin’s.
As he moved closer, Yun Lintian could see this person’s face clearly. He had a heroic, handsome face with a prominent jawline. There was a lightning symbol between his brows. Yun Lintian felt this was highly familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
The man halted his track several steps away from Yun Lintian and smiled. “I didn’t expect my sister’s vision to be this good. You are indeed worthy of the price she paid.”
Yun Lintian’s brows raised slightly. “Your sister?”
The man laughed slightly and said. “Let me introduce myself. My name is Lei Zhenxiang. I am your Sister Lei’s elder brother.”
Yun Lintian’s eyes widened open in astonishment. The person before him was no other than the current Divine Thunder Palace Master! Why did he come here personally?
