"So, it's him?" Yan Yaoting didn't seem surprised when he heard Huo Yang's report.
He tapped his finger on the table for a while and said. "With his vigilant nature, he will definitely leave here… I didn't expect that there would be such a powerful profound skyship in this world. Look like we have underestimated him again."
A profound skyship was commonly owned by powerful forces at the top of the world. This made Yan Yaoting subconsciously think Yun Lintian had no other means to travel. The truth was that everyone had been fooled by him.
"Have you found a clue?" Yan Yaoting asked.
Huo Yang, who had his clothes burnt, responded calmly. "I have confirmed that the Boundless Desert Emperor was gone. Not a single trace was left behind."
Yan Yaoting leaned back slightly. "He's really something."
He always believed Yun Lintian was someone accompanied by heavenly fortune, but it didn't seem to be the case now. This person's origin must be something more than an orphan who grew up in the Misty Cloud Sect.
Yan Yaoting glanced at the burnt part of Huo Yang's body and asked. "Your brother still didn't listen to you?"
A wry smile appeared on Huo Yang's face as he replied. "I'm sorry, master. It's my fault."
Yan Yaoting sighed and said. "No, it's my fault. If I could reveal the truth of the whole situation, you and your brother wouldn't have become like this…."
Huo Yang lowered his head and said solemnly. "Please don't blame yourself, master. In everyone's eyes, master might be a ruthless person, but to me, you are the most benevolent person in the world… If my brother knows what kind of suffering you have been through all this time, he will definitely regret it."
Yan Yaoting closed his eyes gently, and the unforgotten memory flashed through his eyes like a movie.
Before this, he was nothing but a descendant of the Yan Clan's collateral line. His life was destined to be a protector of the rightful successor, Yan Tingfeng, whom he respected as a big brother.
However, fate was unpredictable. On a fateful day, he and Yan Tingfeng went to the Seven Swords Tomb and fell into a trap. In the end, he was the one who survived and was entrusted by Yan Tingfeng to take over the Blazing Sun Palace, which was on the decline for ages.
With this mission on his mind, Yan Yaoting transformed himself into a ruthless person. He started killing those incompetent people and traitors that leeched the palace for years and revitalized everything, making the Blazing Sun Palace return to its glory day.
This was also the reason he was so obsessed with the Seven Swords Tomb. He wanted to avenge Yan Tingfeng.
At this moment, a servant knocked on the door and reported. "Palace Master, Young Master Yang comes to see you."
Yan Yaoting opened his eyes and all the emotions he showed earlier disappeared, replacing with calmness. "Come in."
The door opened, and Yang Chen walked into the room. He bowed his head slightly and said. "I have reached my bottleneck. I want to leave."
Yan Yaoting stared at Yang Chen for a while and asked. "Where do you want to go?"
Yang Chen raised his head slightly. His pair of eyes beneath the wooden mask flashed with a strange light as he said. "Southern Continent."
Yan Yaoting didn't seem to be surprised by this. He said calmly. "I won't stop you, but I must remind you of one thing. Do not mess with the Divine Phoenix Palace. Especially Nantian Fengyu."
"I know." Yang Chen replied nonchalantly.
Yan Yaoting glanced at Huo Yang and said. "Call the second elder over and let him accompany him."
"No need." Yang Chen quickly said.
Yan Yaoting's face cooled down slightly. "I know what you are planning to do. Do you really think I will let you go alone?"
Yang Chen went silent and said nothing more. His goal was obvious. He wanted to devour the legendary Phoenix flame.
"I don't care about what you did here, but once you mess with the Divine Phoenix Palace, it will become my matter." Yan Yaoting said coldly. "Of course, I don't care about your worthless life. What I care about is the Blazing Sun's inheritance inside your body. If it weren't for the fact that it couldn't be forced out, I would have killed you long ago."
Yang Chen's eyes flashed with killing intent but soon disappeared.
Yan Yaoting waved his hand. "Go."
Yang Chen turned around and left under Huo Yang's cold gaze.
Huo Yang turned to look at Yan Yaoting and asked. "Master, are we going to leave him like this?"
Yan Yaoting frowned slightly. "I haven't found a way to extract the inheritance yet… Seriously, I don't know why Ancestor chose him."
The moment Yang Chen appeared before him, Yan Yaoting immediately noticed the Blazing Sun's inheritance that had been lost for thousands of years inside his body. According to the records, it was Ancestor Yan Qi's power. Without a doubt, Yang Chen could be regarded as the rightful successor.
However, he had also discovered something unusual in Yang Chen's soul. It was as if he was possessed by a demon. Through the investigations, he finally found a clue and confirmed that Yang Chen was possessed by something called Flame Devil. It was no wonder he had nothing like the Yang Chen he had investigated.
"Maybe Yun Lintian knows something." Yan Yaoting said further.
"Should we find him?" Huo Yang asked.
Yan Yaoting shook his head. "No need. He will come to me sooner or later."
As he said this, he turned his head to look at the scenery outside and fell into deep thought.
***
"This place…" Ren Muyang and the others looked at the paradise-like scenery in front of them in amazement. They had never seen such a place before. Especially Ren Muyang, who had lived for thousands of years.
After traveling for a week, Yun Lintian's group finally returned to the Northern Continent and went straight to the Moon Garden.
The former Skymist Ancient City on the Moon Garden was pretty much empty, and only the Fire Cloud Rat Clan lived inside. Yun Lintian took this chance to recruit Ren Muyang's Blue Moon Whale Clan and arranged for them to live here.
"Feel free to stay here. If you want to ask something, you can go directly to Ruanyu." Yun Lintian said to everyone with a smile.
