Hongyue looked at Yun Lintian thoughtfully. To be able to make heaven and earth resonate with his will was a sign of a divine emperor. Yun Lintian was obviously not on that level yet. Looked like his qualification was beyond her imagination by miles.
Yun Lintian didn't feel anything strange except that his target became clearer. From today onward, he would walk on a path of bones and blood. Whoever wanted to stop him, he wouldn't let them go.
Yun Xia took a deep look at him and said. "Since you have truly determined your path, I hope you can stay on the path until the end… Remember, do not let anything or anyone stop you from going further."
Yun Lintian replied in a deep voice. "I understand."
He looked at her and asked. "Grandma, is your strength…?"
Yun Xia understood the meaning behind his question. She replied with a smile. "I am currently at the peak of the Divine Emperor Realm. My strength hasn't regressed in the slightest. It is just that I cannot use my divine power here. Otherwise, the enemy will discover me directly."
"As for why we are here, it has to trace back to thousands of years ago. In order to preserve the bloodline of his Cloud Village, he entrusted me to protect the villagers well while escaping. We had been hunted by the enemies for years, and when we encountered a dead-end, Heavenly Cloud Immortal Master happened to pass by and helped us repel the enemies."
"When he knew that Beyond Heaven King was likely to fall, he didn't hesitate to send us to this world along this mountain and White Owl Emperor."
Yun Xia sighed softly in sorrow. "If it wasn't for him sacrificing himself to let us escape, we would have been dead long ago."
Yun Lintian was shocked when he heard this. He thought Heavenly Cloud Immortal Master was a shameless person who took advantage of the situation to spread his name. It turned out he was a hero.
"Is it true?" At this moment, Master Bai flew over and landed in front of Yun Xia. He looked straight into her eyes and asked again. "Did he…?"
Yun Lintian could perceive a hint of sorrow in Master Bai's voice when he spoke.
Yun Xia turned her head away slightly and didn't reply. She didn't dare to look at Master Bai straight. After all, Heavenly Cloud Immortal Master's demise was related to her in a way.
"He… That old bastard actually…." Master Bai's voice trembled as he mumbled to himself soullessly. "Heh… Hehe... He actually… I thought…"
Yun Lintian looked at him silently. Although Master Bai kept cursing at Heavenly Cloud Immortal Master, Yun Lintian could see how deep their relationship was.
Even though Master Bai appeared as if Heavenly Cloud Immortal Master was already dead, deep down, he always believed that his friend was still alive somewhere in the Divine Realm. To hear that his best friend had actually died like that, it was tough for him to take it.
The three stood motionless for an hour before Yun Lintian finally said. "I believe Senior Yun Yi brought you here because he wanted you to live on, Master Bai. So, you shouldn't be sad about it."
Master Bai trembled slightly and then burst into laughter. "Sad?… Kehahaha! Who said I am sad? I am delighted to hear that he's already dead! Hahaha! I can't wait to celebrate right now."
Master Bai flew into the air and landed on Yun Lintian's head. "Boy, this old man wants to travel with you. Are you willing?"
Yun Lintian was startled slightly. He would have believed Master Bai if he hadn't seen the tears in the corner of the latter's eyes.
He smiled and said. "Sure. Having a divine emperor accompanied me like this. I couldn't ask for more."
Master Bai laughed wildly and said. "Good. I will pack my things first. Call me when you want to leave."
Without waiting for Yun Lintian to reply, he flapped his wings and flew away. Was there anything he wanted to pack up? Of course, nothing. It was just an excuse to leave the scene.
Yun Lintian was naturally aware of this, but he didn't expose him.
He looked at Yun Xia and asked. "What's your plan, grandma? Why don't you come with us? I can let everyone live in the Land of Beyond Heaven."
Yun Xia thought for a moment and said. "You can take them away, but I won't go. I will guard this place."
Yun Lintian wanted to say he could bring the mountain with him, but he chose to say nothing in the end. He could see the guilt in her eyes. Perhaps it was better for her to stay here.
"Let me talk to her." Suddenly, Hongyue's voice resounded in Yun Lintian's mind.
Yun Lintian was surprised and quickly summoned the Gate of Beyond Heaven.
Hongyue's illusory figure immediately appeared in the air, causing Yun Xia to startle for a moment.
"You are… Princess Hongyue?" Yun Xia recognized Hongyue right away.
"It's been a while," Hongyue said with a faint smile. "I heard everything you said earlier. Honestly, you are more stupid than I thought."
Yun Xia went silent.
Hongyue said further. "Do you think he really blames you for that? Heh. Don't think of yourself too highly. You are nothing but a mere village kid in his eyes."
She then pointed toward the bamboo hut. More precisely, pointing at Yun Niu. "Like her. Will you take her mischief to your heart?"
Yun Xia raised her head slightly to look in Yun Niu's direction.
"You are a dignified divine emperor, but your eyes are cloudier than Lintian's. Even he can see that the entire incident has nothing to do with your behavior back then. Those bastards were aiming at him from the beginning. With or without you, they would come to him at some point anyway." Hongyue curled her lips, looking at Yun Xia in contempt.
"Seriously, what kind of sinner bullsh*t you come up with? Are you thinking of yourself too highly?"
Hongyue's words were like blades piercing into Yun Xia's heart… That was right. Did she think of herself too highly? What identity was she to make the enemies attack him?…
