Hongyue's expression turned serious upon hearing Qin Juehai's name. "Did he do anything to you?"
"Years ago, he was not my opponent. Even though he inherited the Sword God title, he was still an ant in front of me." Long Qingxuan said calmly.
Hongyue curled her lips. "Heh. Sword God? Is he worthy of such a holy title?"
She paused a moment and said further. "Since he saw you, it would be a matter of time before they found Lintian. Maybe I need to go back now."
Long Qingxuan looked at her and said. "Your Divine Moon Clan took your advice strictly. They have been living behind the door since you left."
"Because that was the only thing they could do back then. Unless they wanted to get wiped out." Hongyue pursed her lips. "How are they?"
"I didn't see the current generation Moon Princess. She went off somewhere. However, the overall strength is not bad. The new twelves Moon Guardians have perfectly inherited the Divine Moon's souls." Long Qingxuan answered.
"Oh? This is unexpected." Hongyue was genuinely surprised. In the past, it would take more than twenty thousand years for a single person to inherit the Divine Moon's soul. For the twelve Moon Guardians to inherit all of them perfectly was something out of her expectation.
"I don't think it's good timing for you to go back." Long Qingxuan suddenly said. "They are paying attention to our movement closely. Once you appear in their sight, things will change."
Hongyue thought for a moment and asked. "Have you found Yaoxi?"
Long Qingxuan shook her head. "From the trace I found, she should enter the Primordial God Forsaken Land."
Hongyue frowned deeply upon hearing this. "What was she thinking?"
Swoosh
Suddenly, Lin Xinyao and Yun Qianxue appeared. They bowed gently toward Long Qingxuan, and Lin Xinyao asked. "Senior, have you met him? How's he?"
Long Qingxuan glanced at the two and said. "He's fine."
"But why has he never opened the gate once?" Yun Qianxue asked in doubt.
Hongyue explained. "The Land of Beyond Heaven needed time to adapt. He has to reach the Divine Transformation Realm at the very least to open it again."
Yun Qianxue and Lin Xinyao looked at each other and said nothing. Although they were disappointed, knowing he was safe and sound enough.
Hongyue turned to Long Qingxuan and asked. "What's your plan?"
Long Qingxuan opened her eyes, and boundless killing intent gradually seeped out. "I'll deal with those traitors first."
Hongyue furrowed her brows as she said. "Gives him some time. I remember that Heavenhold has its secret land. Maybe it is currently practicing inside."
Long Qingxuan glanced at Hongyue and said. "It seems you have been affected by his overcautious nature."
"Perhaps." Hongyue chuckled. "I have been thinking about the decision back then over and over again. I suddenly thought that maybe it was because we were too hasty. If we were more cautious, those traitors would never have a chance to catch us off guard like that."
Long Qingxuan went silent and slowly closed her eyes. The tragic scene in the past emerged in her mind like a movie. If it wasn't because those traitors betrayed them at a crucial moment, the result would be entirely different.
Hongyue said further. "There's one thing that Lintian is right. Sometimes, it's better to be safe than sorry. We were too proud of our strength back then, and the result was justified. We couldn't blame anyone for it."
"We could wait until Lintian possessed enough strength to survive under a God Emperor before making a move. At that time, their attention would be all on him."
Lin Xinyao and Yun Qianxue looked at the two silently. During this period, they learned one or two things about the past incident. There was something more than the Heavenly Desolate God Emperor and his gang behind the downfall of the Beyond Heaven King. It was something Hongyue couldn't speak out.
Without a doubt, that "thing" must be an existence beyond the God Emperor!
Long Qingxuan nodded gently. "I'll teach them for the time being."
"That's a good idea. As long as they could awake their Dragon Souls, they would become our best army." Hongyue said.
Long Qingxuan didn't say anything further and disappeared from the place.
Hongyue turned to Lin Xinyao and said. "It won't be long before you meet your parents."
Lin Xinyao was surprised. Although she had gone through reincarnation, she still had affection for her parents in this life. It would be a lie if she didn't want to see them.
"However, you have to work harder if you want to compete for the Moon Princess's position," Hongyue said.
Lin Xinyao took a deep breath, and her eyes were filled with firm determination. Once she became the Moon Princess, she would have the power to assist Yun Lintian in the upcoming calamity.
On the side, Yun Qianxue raised her head to look at the sky gently before vanishing from the place. Since she couldn't see Yun Lintian for a long while, the only thing she could do was to improve her strength as much as possible. She didn't want to be a burden to him again.

Standing on a mountain somewhere in a barren lower realm star, Qin Juehai calmly sipped a jug of wine while gazing at the stars in the night sky. His usually calm eyes were full of inexplicable emotion right now.
"Senior brother. Even if you have gone for several years, your name is still resounding… Many people said that I was not worthy of the Sword God title. I really want to hear your opinion."
His voice was calm, but there was a trace of deep hatred. Every word he uttered seemed to fill with endless killing intent.
"Why? You had fallen in my hand, but why would I still be unworthy of the title?… Why!?"
His voice grew louder, causing the nearby mountains to shatter into pieces directly.
Qin Juehai took another gulp of wine and gradually calmed down. "Well, it doesn't matter. When I take your eight swords back, no one in this world can point at me and say I'm not worthy again."
"Master." Suddenly, a man in a black robe appeared kneeling behind Qin Juehai and said. "We have searched on many middle-realm stars but found nothing. However, there was a strange movement from the Heavenhold Realm recently. It is completely sealed."
Qin Juehai didn't turn around as he spoke coldly. "Come back again when you get a result."
