Huoyun Lingling and Huoyun Yanyan were shocked to the point their minds went numb. They had seen a lot of the battles between top experts, but none of them was one-sided like this. Not to mention Yun Lintian’s strength was only in the Heaven Profound Realm, while the enemies were all in the Saint Profound Realm and above!
“Hmph!” Linlin snorted coldly and returned to her miniature form before jumping back to Yun Lintian’s shoulder. She thought these opponents could give her a good fight, but they were simply too weak that she didn’t even use thirty percent of her power.
“It’s overkill.” Yun Lintian patted Linlin’s head gently.
“You can’t blame me, Big Brother Yun. They are too weak.” Linlin wrinkled her nose cutely.
Huoyun Lingling came back to her sense and hurriedly said. “Senior, we need to move now. I believe they have already reported their master before coming here.”
Yun Lintian nodded and said. “Can you take me to see your clan?”
Huoyun Lingling hesitated briefly and replied. “Please forgive me, Senior. I need to ask my grandmother first.”
“It’s alright. You can ask her. I will respect her decision.” Yun Lintian had no problem with it.
They quickly cleared the field and left the scene afterward.
A few minutes later, after Yun Lintian’s group left, a black-robed figure appeared above the place and glanced at the trace of battle briefly before looking in Yun Lintian’s departure direction. If Yun Lintian was here, he would discover this person was at the peak of the Monarch Profound Realm, and there was a trace of Abyssal Energy emitting from him.
The black-robed figure seemed to ponder over something and muttered. “I clearly felt a presence of a Divine Beast Bloodline here, but how is it possible? They should have extinct a long time ago.”
A moment later, his figure blurred and disappeared from the spot.

Yun Lintian’s group traveled for a few hours and found a relatively remote place to settle down for a night. After arriving on this continent for almost a month, Yun Lintian discovered powerful profound beasts like to come out at nighttime. Although it wasn’t a problem for Yun Lintian, he felt it was necessary to avoid them as much as he could.
Yun Lintian arranged a simple isolating and alarming formation around the place before starting to cook. He made a simple fried rice and a beef soup and gave them to the Huoyun sisters.
“Try it. You can tell me if it’s not enough.” Yun Lintian placed a large portion of fried rice and beef soup on the table before the Huoyun sisters.
Huoyun Lingling and Huoyun Yanyan glanced at each other and looked curiously at the golden fried rice and the fragrant soup. They had never seen this kind of meal before.
“What’s wrong? You two don’t like it?” Yun Lintian asked in puzzlement upon seeing their expressions.
“No. Senior. This is the first time we have seen these dishes. We are merely curious about it.” Huoyun Lingling hurriedly explained and picked a spoon up.
“So delicious!” Huoyun Yanyan stuffed a mouthful of fried rice into her mouth, and her eyes immediately widened open in surprise.
Huoyun Lingling was also the same. Astonishment was written all over her face. This was definitely the best meal she had ever had.
Yun Lintian was even more puzzled. Although fried rice wasn’t common on the Western Continent, the Huoyun sisters shouldn’t have this exaggerated reaction. This scene reminded him of Little Flame back then.
Huoyun Lingling noticed Yun Lintian’s doubted expression. She took a sip of the soup and explained. “We usually don’t have enough to eat. As I told Senior before, those people took a large part of our territory away. And because of that, we’ve been forced to retreat to our ancestral land. As long as we go out, they will hunt us down.”
Yun Lintian’s complexion was not good upon hearing this. “What exactly do they want from your clan? I don’t think this is a simple matter of trying to suppress your clan anymore.”
In his opinion, even though the Fire Cloud Rat Clan was declining in terms of population, it could still be considered one of the nine major clans. Their overall strength shouldn’t be weak to the point they were forced to retreat with no way of resisting. What exactly happened to them? ．
Huoyun Lingling went silent. Her face was filled with a complicated emotion as she didn’t know how to explain.
At this moment, Huoyun Yanyan put her spoon down and said. “They are after our clan’s divine artifact.”
Huoyun Lingling abruptly turned to look at her younger sister in shock. Usually, her younger sister was always cautious. Why did she suddenly say this to an outsider?
“Artifact?” Yun Lintian frowned.
Huoyun Yanyan smiled at her older sister and said softly. “It doesn’t matter anymore, Big Sister. I can be sure he isn’t covet anything from us. And what can we do even if it is the case? Can we fight him?”
Huoyun Lingling remained silent.
“Besides, have you noticed it? Although it is extremely faint, I can feel a familiar feeling coming out of him. I believe what he said before is true. He truly has a connection with our clan.” Huoyun Yanyan spoke while turning to Yun Lintian.
Compared to her older sister, Huoyun Yanyan’s perception was more sensitive. At first, she thought she had sensed it wrong, but now she was sure there was a sense of familiarity coming out of Yun Lintian’s body. It’s just that she didn’t know what it was.
Huoyun Lingling’s brows raised slightly as she turned toward Yun Lintian and tried to perceive something. In the next moment, she immediately understood what her younger sister meant.
She couldn’t help asking. “Senior, have you recently met anyone from our clan?” When she asked this, her mind spun rapidly, and she was certain no one from her clan had come out during the past decade. It was almost impossible for Yun Lintian to meet anyone.
Yun Lintian was surprised to hear this. He immediately understood why the two felt this way. They had definitely sensed the Little Flame’s token within his interspatial ring.
