Yun Lintian took a deep look at Huoyun Lingling. He could see she was sincere in apologizing. “I know. It’s not your fault.”
“How did you come in?” Huoyun Jie asked solemnly. Throughout the clan’s history, no outsider had ever passed the white mist formation before. How could Yun Lintian manage to do it? Could it be the formation become worsened?
“What do you mean? Am I supposed to fail?… Oh, so it’s your intention to leave me there? I didn’t expect you are this kind of person who repays the debts of gratitude by malice.” Yun Lintian said gloomily.
Huoyun Jie’s face darkened. He glanced at the three guards and said coldly. “What are you waiting for? Someone has already broken into our territory!”
The three guards glanced at each other hesitantly. They didn’t know who they should listen to.
“How could you….!?” Huoyun Lingling glared at Huoyun Jie angrily. She was so disappointed with this uncle of her, who she respected.
“Little Miss, you are too young. This person is clearly a huge threat. What if he brings the enemy along next time?” Huoyun Jie said in a deep voice.
“He won’t!” Huoyun Yanyan retorted. “There are several enemies staring at us on the outside right now. Do you think he needs to wait until now?”
Huoyun Jie shook his head, unbothered to argue with Huoyun Yanyan. He looked at the three guards and yelled. “What are you hesitating for!? Kill him!”
The three guards no longer hesitated. Their aura burst out, instantly surrounding Yun Lintian.
Under the tremendous pressure, Yun Lintian’s expression was relaxed. He glanced at Huoyun Jie and said calmly. “I understand your worry, but don’t you think this is too far?” He paused for a moment and let out a sigh. “Never mind. Some people cannot talk with reason.”
For some reason, Huoyun Jie’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. He quickly utilized his profound energy and launched an attack on Yun Lintian.
“Big Brother Yun?” Linlin tilted her head to look at Yun Lintian with an eager expression. She couldn’t wait to get into the battle right away.
Yun Lintian shook his head slightly. “Let Big Brother come.”
Crack! Crack! Crack!
As he finished the sentence, a bone-freezing aura instantly burst out from his body. A split second later, a deep blue light spread amidst the sounds of ice congealing as it instantly sealed away several kilometers of space in ice.
When the sound of ice congealing had stopped, the entire world seemed to have gone quiet in an instant. All the attacks from Huoyun Jie and the three guards had also vanished completely, as though nothing had ever happened before.
Everyone in the scene opened their mouth widely, looking at Yun Lintian in disbelief. Especially the Huoyun sisters. They thought they could understand Yun Lintian’s strength, but they still underestimated him… Was this his true strength?
Yun Lintian turned his head to look at the stunned Huoyun Jie and said plainly. “Do you want to continue?”
Ding!
The flame arrow that was completely sealed in ice dropped onto the ground and shattered into countless ice particles.
The minds of the three guards went blank. Everything that happened before them was beyond their comprehension. Yun Lintian was clearly at the seventh level of the Heaven Profound Realm, yet he could quickly seal all the attacks from the Monarchs like them… What the hell happened here? Have the talents of people in the outside world reached this point now?
Huoyun Jie returned to his sense and was about to say something, but a majestic female voice suddenly resounded from afar. “You’ve disappointed me, Huoyun Jie. Our Fire Cloud Rat Clan has never treated our benefactor like this, even though we have longed past the glorious day… Go back and kneel in front of our ancestor’s tomb for a year.”
Huoyun Jie’s pupils shrank upon hearing this. He gave a fierce glare at Yun Lintian and bowed toward the mountain. “This servant accepted the punishment.” He quickly flew away afterward.
Yun Lintian was surprised when he heard the female sound. Just by her voice alone, he could feel this person wasn’t someone he could fight with. This was the second time he felt this way. The first time was when he faced the Scarlet Soul Emperor back then.
“I sincerely apologize for what he did to you, Little Friend. Please let us make up for the mistake…. Lingling, Yanyan. Arrange a place for this Little Friend. I will visit him in a while.” The female voice resounded again.
“Yes, Grandma.” The Huoyun sisters said in unison and turned to Yun Lintian. “Please follow us, Senior.”
Yun Lintian didn’t say anything and silently followed the Huoyun sisters.
“Hongyue, how’s that person’s strength?” He asked in his mind.
“It’s really rare that a top figure like her still exists in this era,” Hongyue replied with a hint of surprise in her voice. “She should be around the middle level of the Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm.”
“What!? Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm?” Yun Lintian exclaimed in shock. 𝘯𝑜𝘷𝑙．𝑐𝘰𝘮
He always thought that these experts were either dead or hiding in some corners of this world, and he would never have a chance to meet them. It was completely unexpected to see one here… No wonder the Fire Cloud Rat Clan could be ranked second to the Sky Qilin Clan. And this also meant there was a similar figure in the Sky Qilin Clan.
Yun Lintian heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Thankfully, he had decided to visit the Fire Cloud Rat Clan first before searching for the Tree of Life. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have known how he died if he had stumbled upon these experts over there.
“She obviously noticed you since you appeared on the outside. Hehe, this person is quite cautious.” Hongyue laughed slightly.
Yun Lintian’s face darkened… Why didn’t you tell me earlier? However, Hongyue’s words let him know that the grandmother of the Huoyun sisters also had an opinion on humans. Otherwise, she wouldn’t choose to observe him first before preventing Huoyun Jie from attacking him.
He raised his head to look at the mountain in the distance and looked forward to seeing this person.
