Weilan Tianjun's cold voice penetrated the audience's hearts, causing them to shudder involuntarily.
Seeing that no one spoke, Weilan Tianjun glanced at Xie Jing, who was struggling to get up from the ground, and said coldly. "Since there's no objection, I shall announce the establishment of the Azure Alliance. From today onward, everyone here is a member of the alliance. We will move forward, retreat together, and fight the enemy to the end!"
"Fight the enemy to the end!" A small group of people in the crowd echoed, and the others quickly followed suit.
Xie Jing spat out a mouthful of blood as he looked at this scene. He didn't regret a single bit of the decision.
A smile suddenly appeared on his face as his consciousness gradually blurred. Before coming here, he had arranged everything for his sect. They had already taken refuge in the Heavenly Sword Palace and the Long Clan. This was also the reason why he came here alone.
He looked at everyone and said with difficulty. "Everyone can see it clearly… I wonder how long this kind of alliance will last?"
As he finished his sentence, his head gradually drooped as the last trace of his vitality disappeared.
Everyone looked at his lifeless body with complicated emotions. Of course, they knew that Weilan Tianjun and the others would treat them as a cannon-fodder in the upcoming war, but what else could they do?
Xie Jing was a prime example here. Once any of them chose to leave, their fate would be the same as his.
Weilan Tianjun sneered and paid no heed to Xie Jing further.

"So this is the famous Golden Mountain Ruins?" Standing on the deck, Nantian Fengyu looked at the vast golden land below in amazement.
She always thought that the gold in the name was simply a gimmick that people came up with. Who would have thought that the whole place was actually covered with genuine gold?
Meanwhile, Yun Lintian looked at the scene calmly. According to his knowledge, the Golden Mountain was the relic that represented the metal element, and gold itself was considered a precious metal. Hence, he wasn't surprised about it much.
Rumble—
As the skyship approached the ruins, it suddenly crashed onto an invisible wall, causing the entire skyship to tremble.
Yun Lintian's expression changed, and he quickly stopped the skyship.
"A no-fly zone?" Yun Lintian muttered to himself. He was naturally familiar with such a formation. However, he didn't expect it to be this powerful.
Without thinking further, Yun Lintian immediately controlled the skyship to land on the ground.
"This place is really weird. My blood has become active all of a sudden." After jumping down from the skyship, Nantian Fengyu said while looking at the endless golden land in front of her.
Yun Lintian put the skyship away and scanned the surroundings, trying to find any trace of a formation here.
"Big Brother Yun, I can feel my kins here." Linlin, who sat on Yun Lintian's shoulder, suddenly said.
"Your kins?" Yun Lintian frowned slightly.
"Mhm. However, they have already gone." Linlin's eyes dimmed slightly when she spoke this.
As her strength grew, the memory sealed in her soul gradually emerged, letting her know her identity.
Her mother, Bai Xiaoyun, was the founder of the White Tiger God Clan. She had spent countless years condensing her power and gave birth to her.
This process consumed a lot of Bai Xiaoyun's power and damaged her foundation. Because of this, her strength had dropped to a certain degree, making her unable to resist the enemy.
In the end, the severely injured Bai Xiaoyun came to this world under the Beyond Heaven King's arrangement and waited for Yun Lintian to appear.
Linlin felt that everything was because of her. If her mother didn't give birth to her, she wouldn't have ended up being forced to retreat by the enemy.
Feeling her sadness, Yun Lintian gently patted her back and said softly. "I'm here with you."
Linlin regained her composure and said with a smile. "Don't worry. I'm not that sad. I have Big Brother Yun now."
Yun Lintian smiled and said. "Perhaps there will be some survivors. We will find out later."
"Mhm!" Linlin nodded gently and looked toward the distant golden land.
On the side, Qingqing tilted her head slightly and said. "Big Brother Yun. This place is very strange."
"How strange?" Yun Lintian asked.
Qingqing pointed in the east direction and said. "A few people are hiding there. It's like they are waiting for us."
As Qingqing's strength had reached a terrifying height, she could gain information through the wind. No matter how good the opponent's concealing method was, it was almost impossible to escape her perception in such an open space.
"Oh? A group of people?" Yun Lintian was surprised slightly. Why would someone camp here and wait for him?
"However, they should be a group of scouts. Their strength isn't good." Qingqing said softly while making a grasping gesture.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, a terrifying windstorm blew out from the east, sending the four people hiding in the distance flying over. Their faces were full of horror as they realized that Yun Lintian had already discovered them.
Immediately, they tried their best to release their power, but the windstorm was too powerful. They were unable to resist it and were involuntarily brought toward Yun Lintian.
Bang!
Nantian Fengyu suddenly sent a few flame clusters toward the four and directly injured them to several degrees, making them unable to muster any strength.
"Who sent you here?" Yun Lintian looked at them and asked calmly.
A middle-aged man with a long beard who seemed to be the group leader struggled to speak. "This is a misunderstanding, Sect Master Yun. We come from the Mystic Pavilion. You can check the tokens in our pockets."
"Mystic Pavilion?" Yun Lintian frowned slightly. He rummaged through the middle-aged man's pocket and found a familiar-looking token with the word "Mystic." Without a doubt, it was issued by the Mystic Pavilion.
Seeing this, Yun Lintian threw them a bottle of the best-grade healing pills and asked. "Why are you coming here? Moreover, you seem to wait for me."
The middle-aged man stuffed the pill into his mouth and replied. "Thank you for showing mercy… We came here under Young Miss's instruction. She wanted us to convey to you a message that Xing Chen is waiting for you here and you should be careful."
"Xing Chen?" Yun Lintian's eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing this name.
