A sense of security enveloped Ning Yue's heart upon hearing Yun Lintian's cold words. She felt that even if the sky fell today, Yun Lintian would protect her and keep her safe.
At the same time, a firmer determination rose in her mind. She must become stronger as fast as possible so that she can help Yun Lintian share the burden.
Yue Chuntao glanced at Ning Yue enviously. She wanted to be protected like this as well.
She looked at Yun Lintian and asked. "They're all Divine Sovereigns. Are you sure you can handle them?"
Yun Lintian thought briefly and asked. "Can you lock this place down?"
"I can. But why should I do it?" Yue Chuntao said with a playful smile.
"It doesn't matter then." Yun Lintian shrugged and got up, walking toward the door.
Yue Chuntao pouted and said. "Che. Not fun at all."
On the outside, Hai Jie frowned slightly and said. "Are you going to protect her?"
Yue Qi responded calmly. "I'm waiting for my young miss' order."
Hai Jie's face darkened, and he glanced at the three people behind him. Immediately, the three strode forward with a burst of auras.
Yue Qi's eyes turned cold, and his aura burst forth, instantly suppressing the three. "I won't allow you to disturb my young miss."
Hai Jie stared at Yue Qi coldly. Unexpectedly, this middle-aged man was a genuine Divine Emperor. This made him wonder who his young miss was to have a Divine Emperor protect her.
At this moment, the door was opened, attracting everyone's attention. Yun Lintian walked out with Ning Yue and looked at Yue Qi briefly before turning to Hai Jie.
Hai Jie skipped Yun Lintian directly and stared at Ning Yue. Without a doubt, she was their target.
"So, you're here." Hai Jie said coldly.
Facing Hai Jie's gaze, Ning Yue subconsciously tightened her grip on Yun Lintian's sleeve. She mustered her courage and asked. "Who are you? Why are you looking for me?"
"Come with us obediently." Hai Jie didn't answer the questions but released his aura.
"No need to help him." Before Yue Qi could do anything, Yue Chuntao's voice suddenly resounded in his mind. "I want to see his strength with my own eyes."
Hearing this, Yue Qi slowly retracted his aura, letting Hai Jie's group move freely.

Ning Yue suddenly felt the surrounding space constricted, and a strong suction force tried to pull her toward Hai Jie.
At this moment, Yun Lintian stepped forward and abruptly released his divine energy to interrupt Hai Jie. This abrupt wave of outbursting energy was so strong that it caused Hai Jie and the other three to feel stifled and forcibly hindered their momentum.
Hai Jie frowned slightly as he finally looked at Yun Lintian. He couldn't understand why the third level of the Divine Spirit Realm's practitioner, like Yun Lintian, could release such a dreadful aura.
"Who are you?" Hai Jie asked coldly.
"The one who kills you." Yun Lintian replied calmly. The Heaven Piercing Sword silently appeared in his hand, and his entire body was covered with white furs. His long black hair lifted as the space all around him was enveloped in violent wind, and lightning crackled everywhere.
Even before he made a move, his entire posture and the air about him shook everyone present. He exuded a deep threatening air that even Yue Chuntao and Yue Qi could feel their hairs stand up.
Yun Lintian being bathed in hurricanes and lightning made him look like an overlord standing at the peak of all experts.
Woosh!!
Before Hai Jie and his people could react, Yun Lintian had already made his move. With the raging winds assisting him, Yun Lintian's speed reached an unbelievable level. The Heaven Piercing Sword left a glaring trail on the floor like a brilliant scar.
The three black-robed men on the front reacted quickly and released their power, trying to block Yun Lintian.
Roar—
All of a sudden, a deafening tiger's roar sounded, and everyone in the scene felt as though their soul was flying out of their body. Their minds went blank, and they fell into a complete trance.
Puff! Puff! Puff! Bang!
Instantly, Yun Lintian beheaded the three men in the front and shattered Hai Jie's Divine Core, making him lose his profound strength entirely.
Everything happened in a split second, and when Yue Chuntao and Yue Qi returned to their senses, they could only look at the scene in disbelief.
Yun Lintian returned to his original form and stomped his foot on Hai Jie's chest. If one looked closely, one would see Yun Lintian's face pale as a white sheet at the moment. Obviously, the earlier move almost emptied his divine energy and mental power.
"Now, tell me. Why are you looking for her?" Yun Lintian stared at Hai Jie coldly.
Hai Jie returned to his sense and discovered he had become a cripple. He felt as if he was dreaming right now… What the hell was going on?
Yun Lintian exerted more strength, and the pain brought Hai Jie back to reality.
"Why did the Dark Sea Palace want to find her? And where are her parents?" Yun Lintian asked further. Unfortunately, his current mental power was not enough to perform a soul-searching technique. He could only interrogate Hai Jie like this.
Hai Jie stared at Yun Lintian and said. "Our Dark Sea God Emperor definitely won't let you go."
As his voice fell, his eyes darkened, and black blood flew out of his seven orifices. Hai Jie died just like that.
Yun Lintian was stunned. He couldn't understand how Hai Jie committed suicide after losing his profound strength.
"It's Dark Sea Poison. I heard that every member of the Dark Sea Palace carried such a poison in their body, and they could kill themselves at will." Yue Chuntao walked out of the room and glanced at the four corpses on the ground before shifting to the Heaven Piercing Sword in Yun Lintian's hand.
Yun Lintian didn't say anything. He rummaged through the four corpses and found nothing useful except some Divine Stones and treasures. This made him sigh helplessly. If he knew this, he would spare all of them and try another way to interrogate them.
"Is that the legendary Heaven Piercing Sword?" Yue Chuntao suddenly asked.
