The commotion in the Nine Profound Pavilion attracted everyone’s attention. Countless people gathered outside the building and tried to look inside with great curiosity.
Soon, they saw Yun Lintian’s group walk out, and many of them immediately recognized Jin Yang and Yu Rongxi’s identities.
Yun Lintian glanced at the crowd and said to Jin Yang. “We should go back to the inn first.”
“Yeah.” Jin Yang and others had no objection. Anyway, the Poison Valley was none of their business.
All of a sudden, they perceived a strong wave of profound energy, causing them to involuntarily turn around.
“It’s Tianqi Yi.” Huoyun Yurou said calmly.
“What a power.” Jin Mingzhe muttered in shock.
The expressions of Jin Yang and Yu Rongxi became solemn. Even though they were aware of how powerful Tianqi Yi was, they were still shocked inwardly. This kind of power wasn’t something they could resist.
“Let’s go.” Yun Lintian took a deep breath and said.
As soon as his group walked away, Bi You walked out of the building and glanced around the place for a moment before her gaze landed on Yun Lintian’s silhouette in the far distance.
A trace of hesitation emerged in the depth of her eyes. She struggled with her own thoughts for a while before sighing softly and retracting her gaze.
“Do you want to have a meal with me?” Pei Xiewen followed out. He didn’t seem to notice Bi You’s unusualness and asked her with a warm smile.
“No. I will go back.” Bi You said expressionlessly and walked away.
Pei Xiewen’s face gradually turned cold. He showed his kindness and love toward Bi You several times, but she didn’t appreciate it. Perhaps using force was the only way to go for him.
Zi Mo, Lang Mian, and Lang Xue walked out of the building and witnessed this scene, but none of them said anything. They were well aware of the story between Bi You and Pei Xiewen.
“Let’s have a drink, Brother Pei.” Zi Mo walked up and said cheerfully.
Pei Xiewen shook his head and said. “No, I need to go back now. See you at the convention.” As he finished speaking, he quickly left the scene with his subordinates.
Zi Mo clicked his tongue and turned to Lang Mian.
Before he could speak, Lang Xue said first. “We will go back as well. Our father just sent a message earlier.”
She didn’t care about Zi Mo and dragged Lang Mian away.
“Tsk. I will go alone then.” Zi Mo was dissatisfied and prepared to leave. However, his body suddenly froze as he heard a familiar voice ring out from behind.
“Go where?” Zi Jinghu stepped out of the building and glared at his son. “You only know how to play and drink all day. Do you even be aware of the current situation? Go back with me now!”
Zi Mo’s face twitched slightly. He didn’t dare to refute and obediently followed his father back.
In the private room, Tianqi Junlai took a sip of tea while looking at the black-robed man, who knelt on the ground in front of him.
“Tell me, who helped you get into the city?” Tianqi Junlai asked after putting the teacup down.
The black-robed man snorted coldly and refused to say anything.
Tianqi Junlai shook his head with a sigh. “There’s no need to waste each other’s time, don’t you think so?”
The black-robed man still kept his mouth shut, even though he knew it was useless.
Tianqi Junlai took a deep look at the black-robed man and motioned with his chin. Immediately, Tianqi Yi stepped forward and grabbed the black-robed man’s head.
“Ugh…Argghh!” The black-robed man immediately let out a shrill scream as he felt his head was about to burst apart. His body shook violently, and blood kept gushing out of his seven orifices.
A while later, the black-robed man seemed to lose his soul and slumped onto the ground motionless.
Tianqi Yi closed his eyes gently, and countless pictures flashed through his mind like a movie. Blood gradually flowed out of his nose as he felt like numerous needles were stabbing into his brain.
The technique Tianqi Yi had just used was the Soul Reading Technique that was passed down from the ancient era. Back then, Tianqi Zongwei had ventured to an ancient ruin and found this technique engraved on a jade slip. Later, he decided to let Tianqi Yi and Tianqi Er learn it because of its severe side-effect.
If possible, Tianqi Junlai didn’t want Tianqi Yi to use this technique. Unfortunately, the current situation was related to the safety of his clan. He had to know the mastermind behind this.
A while later, Tianqi Yi opened his eyes, which became bloodshot, and spoke hoarsely. “A human. His true identity is well covered. It seems he is aware of the Soul Reading Technique.”
“You’ve worked hard. Go take a rest first.” Tianqi Junlai said with a severe expression.
Tianqi Yi nodded and found a place to sit down, recuperating.
“A human… Who is it?” Tianqi Junlai glanced at the lifeless body of the black-robed man while muttering to himself. 𝘦𝘯.𝘰𝘳𝘨

“My father has sent a message to thank Young Master Huoyun. He will personally tell you again at the convention.” In the room, Jin Yang said to Yun Lintian with gratitude.
“There’s no need to say this, Senior Jin. This is nothing compared to your help during these past years.” Yun Lintian said with a smile.
“What help? We didn’t do anything much. Sending rations to your clan cannot be compared to what you did today.” Jin Yang shook his head slightly.
Yun Lintian smiled without saying anything further.
“Brother Tian, how did you travel through the Abyssal Poison mist without getting hurt?” Jin Mingzhe couldn’t help asking.
Yun Lintian didn’t answer right away. He took a black profound beast core and a small bowl filled with Profound Spirit Liquid out.
Under everyone’s puzzled gaze, Yun Lintian explained. “This is the Heaven Abyssal Profound Beast Core, and the water here is the high-grade Profound Spirit Liquid.”
Afterward, he put the beast’s core into the bowl, and the Abyssal Energy within the core quickly shrank its size, trying its best to stay away from the surrounding liquid.
A look of astonishment immediately appeared on everyone’s face.
