"Since my business here is done, I'll take my leave first." Yun Lintian didn't waste time here further and prepared to leave.
"Send the benefactor off." Nantian Xiulan didn't intend to stop Yun Lintian here.
Nantian Xuanyu recovered from the shock and quickly followed Yun Lintian out.
"Where do you want to go? Let me send you there." Nantian Xuanyu caught up with Yun Lintian and asked.
Yun Lintian shook his head and said. "No need, Palace Master Nantian. I can go by myself."
As he finished speaking, Yun Lintian glanced at the sky briefly. Nantian Xuanyu was puzzled and followed Yun Lintian's gaze toward the sky. In the next moment, she saw a huge skyship slowly emerge from the group of clouds. This scene alarmed the entire Divine Phoenix Palace instantly.
Nantian Xuanyu's brows involuntarily creased together. She observed the skyship carefully and saw a cloud symbol, which didn't seem to belong to any force she knew. However, she suddenly thought of something and turned to Yun Lintian. "This skyship…."
Yun Lintian nodded slightly. "It's my Misty Cloud Sect's skyship. I'll leave first."
Instantaneously, Yun Lintian shot into the sky and landed on the deck before the skyship gradually moved away, disappearing into the clouds.
Nantian Xuanyu was stunned and muttered. "He actually has a skyship."
"It's normal. He could come up with many heaven-defying things. Why couldn't he have a skyship?" Nantian Xiulan slowly walked into the yard and glanced in Yun Lintian's disappearing direction with a faint smile on her lips. Her mind seemed to return to the past when the Misty Cloud Palace dominated the world.
Nantian Xuanyu slowly calmed down. It was true, as Nantian Xiulan said, what Yun Lintian showed her today brought her a great shock one after another. Compared to them, having the skyship seemed to be an ordinary matter.
"Second Ancestor, what's our next plan?" Nantian Xuanyu asked.
"The Poison Valley is currently trying to overtake the Northern Continent. However, I don't think it's as simple as it appears. From my experience against them, they are more cunning than you could think of. I believe this could be a smokescreen. Their true intention should be on elsewhere." Nantian Xiulan replied calmly.
She paused for a moment and looked at Nantian Xuanyu. "What if I say their real target is the weakened Western Continent?"
Nantian Xuanyu's expression became heavy immediately. "The Western Continent consists of countless profound beasts. Once the Poison Valley successfully takes over, it will transform into a true behemoth. We might not be their opponents even if we combined every continent together."
Just thinking of it, Nantian Xuanyu couldn't help getting terrified by the potential danger.
Nantian Xiulan went silent for a moment and said with a soft sigh. "Perhaps the history would repeat itself once again. We have to prepare for the worst scenario." She turned to look at Nantian Xuanyu. "Notify the eight masters. We will have a meeting in an hour."
"Yes, Second Ancestor." Nantian Xuanyu responded with a heavy heart.
Nantian Xiulan glanced in Yun Lintian's direction once again and muttered. "Maybe he could achieve what Senior Yun did."

On the skyship, Yun Lintian calmly read the content on the jade slip with Linlin on his lap.
"So, no one had ever successfully entered the city since it became like this." A while later, Yun Lintian put the jade slip down and said to himself.
The Skymist Ancient City was once regarded as the most prosperous city in the Southern Continent. Its prosperity and prestige far exceeded the Divine Phoenix City by a large margin. It even stated that the Divine Phoenix Palace had to ask for permission if they wanted to use a venue in the city. This showed how terrifying the forces that resided in the city were.
The city was governed by the Skymist Ancient Clan, which originated from the ancient era. They had existed even before the current nine palaces.
However, they were completely caught off guard and were unfortunately swept away by the sudden appearance of the violent gale. It was said if they were still existing today, their strength was not inferior to the Azure Palace in the slightest.
This was the reason why so many people risked their lives in order to enter the Ancient City. They believed that the Skymist Ancient Clan's treasury was still there.
Unfortunately, none of them had ever succeeded. They either became meat paste or vanished from the world completely without a single trace left behind.
"Little Brother Yun, I think you need to think about it carefully. This is too dangerous." Sitting on the side, Guchang said concernedly after reading the content on the jade slip.
"That's right, Brother Yun. I know you're strong, but this doesn't seem to have anything to do with strength." Fan echoed. For some reason, he had become smart lately and spoke more fluently.
Meanwhile, Mu Qiuxue calmly sat there without a word. She knew her opinion was useless if Yun Lintian had decided something. However, deep down, she also held the same opinion as Fan.
Yun Lintian smiled and said. "I know. I won't make a joke with my life." He paused for a second and continued. "But this is something I need to go through. It is important to me."
Guchang and Fan went silent immediately. Although they spent a short period with Yun Lintian, they could understand some of his secrets.
Yun Lintian had mastered at least three elements, and this horrible tempest around the Ancient City could be related to the wind element. Perhaps there was something that could grant Yun Lintian an affinity with the wind element.
It was at this moment did Yun Lintian noticed Fan's strength. He said. "Your strength has improved greatly in a few days. Look like this place is suitable for you to practice."
Hearing this, Fan revealed a proud smile and said. "Hehe. It all thanks to Brother Yun for providing me with the resources."
Guchang snorted coldly. "You are complacent with this tiny bit of strength?"
Fan immediately shrank his neck back and did not dare to look at his father.
Yun Lintian laughed slightly and asked. "I'll stroll around the town below first. Perhaps I could gain some information. What about all of you?"
Guchang glanced at Fan and Mu Qiuxue before saying. "We will go with you."
