As much as they were unwilling, Shui Gen and the others had to comply. They calmed down and opened their Soul Gates, allowing Yun Lintian's Divine Sense to penetrate their souls.
After learning the method from Hongyue, Yun Lintian slowly branded a soul imprint on their souls one by one. Once they had the thought of betraying him, Yun Lintian could shatter their souls directly.
Following that, Yun Lintian healed everyone's injury with the Tree of Life's power.
When Shui Gen and the others saw this, they were shocked to the core. Everyone knew their injuries would take a few years to fully recover, but they actually healed in a few minutes under Yun Lintian's power.
Yun Lintian retracted his power and asked. "Are there other people like you here?"
"I know around twenty people that haven't lost their minds yet." Shui Gen quickly replied.
"Can you track their positions?" Yun Lintian asked.
"I can." Shui Gen said confidently.
"Alright. Let's find them, and we will leave this place afterward." Yun Lintian said.
"Leaving this place?" Shui Gen and the others were surprised.
Yun Lintian casually waved his hand, and a black portal immediately appeared beside him.
Everyone looked into the portal and saw the familiar Endless Sea inside. Obviously, Yun Lintian didn't lie to them. They could leave this place.
Seeing this, everyone became excited. They had been wandering in this ghost place for who knows how many years.
"Please follow me." Shui Gen said and rushed out. He wanted to find the other people as soon as possible.
Yun Lintian didn't say anything and followed suit.
His plan was simple. He planned to use these people to fight the upcoming war.

Central Continent, Rising Sun City.
The Rising Sun City was one of the prominent cities on the Central Continent. It was located on the western side and was regarded as the capital city here.
However, the Rising Sun City, which was usually filled with a searing hot atmosphere, bustling with people, was presently cast with lifelessness. Looking from the sky above, it was even near impossible to see any moving figures.
At the city lord manor on the northern side of the city, a middle-aged man with a disheveled appearance knelt on the ground with an ashen expression.
Several corpses could be seen lying beside him. If one looked closer, one would see they were the middle-aged man's relatives.
"Tsk. These lowly humans are worse than ants. They can't even resist a single strike from me." Sitting on the main seat, a young man with devil horns clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction while munching a human arm.
"Pooh!" The young man spat the meat out and said with a disgusted look. "And it tastes like shit!"
Sitting beside him, a seductive young woman said with a charming smile. "That's why I told you to cook it first."
The young man threw the human arm away like garbage and said. "What now? Do we have to wait like this? Tell me, Zongying, why does our Master have to act cautiously?"
The young woman, Pan Zongying, rolled her eyes at him and said. "You are really stupid, Dai Ling. No wonder your father doesn't allow you to go alone."
"Are you itchy again?" The face of the young man, Dai Ling, darkened as he glared at the woman.
Pan Zongying didn't bother to bicker with him. She glanced at the middle-aged man and asked. "What do you know about Yun Lintian?"
The middle-aged man shivered but didn't utter a word. He was the Rising Sun City Lord, Zhang Tao.
A few days ago, these two youngsters came to the city and started massacring out of nowhere. Zhang Tao brought all his guards over, but the gap between them was too great. In the end, hundreds of thousands of people died under their hands, including his family.
Zhang Tao didn't know where these two came from, but one thing he was certain of was that their strength had already surpassed the world's boundary.
Seeing him remaining silent, Dai Ling frowned and said coldly. "Why don't you answer her? Do you want to die that much?"
Zhang Tao slowly raised his head and said. "It doesn't matter. I won't be able to live anyway… You two will definitely face heaven's punishment later."
"Heaven's punishment?" Dai Ling scoffed. "I am heaven here. Do you think I will punish myself?"
Pan Zongying curled her lips and said in a charming voice. "As long as you answer me, we can promise you to spare those people around this city."
Zhang Tao frowned slightly. There were many towns and villages in this region, and they certainly couldn't survive under these two.
He hesitated for a moment and said. "I don't know much about him. I only saw him once. His strength is abnormally high, as he can fight the opponent a whole realm higher than him."
"Oh?" Dai Ling's eyes narrowed slightly. Before coming here, he heard his father mention Yun Lintian's name, but he had no idea why. It seemed this person was a bit special.
"Where is he now?" Pan Zongying asked.
Zhang Tao shook his head. "He hasn't appeared for a year… However, I heard he has something to do with the Heavenly Cloud Mountain."
"Heavenly Cloud Mountain? Where is it?" Dai Ling asked.
Zhang Tao hesitated briefly and told them about the position.
After knowing the position of the mountain, Dai Ling chuckled and said. "You can die now."
As he waved his hand, Zhang Tao was beheaded directly. However, if one looked closely, one would see a trace of excitement in Zhang Tao's eyes. It was as though he had accomplished something.
Naturally, Dai Ling and Pan Zongying failed to see it. They didn't know that Zhang Tao set a trap for them by telling them to visit Heavenly Cloud Mountain as he knew there was something extraordinary there.
Although he didn't know whether it could kill the two, it was the only thing he could do before dying.
"Let's go." Dai Ling got up and flew into the sky, followed closely by Pan Zongying.

"Grandma, there are more and more people appearing below. Can we help them? They are very pitiful." On the Heavenly Cloud Mountain Peak, Yun Niu concernedly looked at countless people below the mountain. These people had escaped the raging flame of war and came here hoping to survive.
On the side, Yun Xia calmly looked at them as if their life and death didn't matter to her.
