Buzz—
The grand teleporting formation on the Moon Garden suddenly lit up with white light, and when the light dissipated, Yun Lintian and the others could be seen on it.
Since there was nothing to do further on the Central Continent, Yun Lintian immediately returned to the Northern Continent with the Long Clan.
When Yun Lintian's group appeared, Yun Ruanyu instantly appeared with Yun Qingrou and Tang Suyin.
"Welcome back." Yun Ruanyu said with a gentle smile. She was delighted that from now on, no one could threaten the Misty Cloud Sect anymore.
"I'm back. Everyone has worked hard during this period." Yun Lintian greeted them with a smile.
For some reason, he felt as if he had returned to the time when he was young. Although the sect wasn't as powerful as now, it was definitely the most peaceful period of his second life.
"Congratulations. This world is yours now." Tang Suyin said sincerely.
The moment she met Yun Lintian, her intuition told her that he would certainly reach the top of the world, and he did it. What surprised her the most was that it took him a span of two years to achieve it. She was certain there would never be a second Yun Lintian in the future.
"Thank you, Senior." Yun Lintian responded with a smile. "By the way, Senior. I have something to talk about later. It's about the Skymist Ancient City."
"Alright." Tang Suyin could guess more or less about the topic Yun Lintian wanted to discuss with her.
"Where are Yaoyao and Bingling?" Yun Lintian asked.
"Sister Bingling went back to the Frozen Moon Palace. As for Xinyao, she is currently guarding Senior Qingxuan." Yun Qingrou answered.
"How's she?" Yun Lintian didn't know how severe the wound on Qingxuan's soul was.
Yun Qingrou shook her head. "I don't know. However, her injury must be very bad."
Yun Lintian frowned deeply.
Swoosh—
Suddenly, Long Shen appeared on the scene and quickly knelt on one knee before Yun Lintian. "Long Shen welcomes Master back."
Before this, Long Ying had already informed him about the Dragon God, and when the silhouette of the Azure Dragon appeared in the sky, he immediately understood everything… The legendary Dragon King was born!
Yun Lintian was still uncomfortable to see Long Shen kneel in front of him, but as Yun Qianxue said, he had to get used to it as soon as possible.
"Please get up." Yun Lintian waved his hand to help Long Shen up and said. "I believe Long Ying has already told you about the plan. You can take care of everyone first. I'll take a look at Senior Qingxuan."
"Yes, Master." Long Shen replied readily and brought his clansmen away.
Yun Lintian looked at Yun Ruanyu and said. "Even though I have no intention of unifying the world, we still need to show everyone that our Misty Cloud Sect is the number one sect."
"I have already thought of some ideas." Yun Ruanyu responded.
"We will talk again later." Yun Lintian nodded gently and headed toward the pavilion where Qingxuan usually resided with Linlin and Qingqing.
"You're back." Lin Xinyao opened her eyes and smiled upon seeing Yun Lintian.
She rose from the ground and looked at him with endless tenderness.
Yun Lintian walked over and gently pulled her into his embrace. "Everything is over for now. We don't have to run around anymore."
Lin Xinyao leaned against his chest and said softly. "I'm sorry. I can't help with your burdens."
Yun Lintian tightened his embrace and said gently. "You have done many things for me in the past. It's my turn now. You only have one duty, that is being beautiful and waiting for your husband to come back home."
"Pfft!" Lin Xinyao burst into laughter upon hearing this. "It would sound better if there was no the latter sentence. Do you want me to be a vase?"
Yun Lintian smiled and said. "What vase? It's called a virtuous wife, don't you know?"
Lin Xinyao pinched his waist and said. "Alright. Stop joking. You should take a look at Senior Qingxuan."
"Mhm." Yun Lintian nodded and left Qingqing and Linlin behind before walking toward the isolating barrier.
He circulated his divine energy and spoke. "Can I go in, Senior?"
However, after waiting for twenty seconds, there was still no response from Qingxuan.
Yun Lintian frowned slightly and said. "I will go in now, Senior. Please forgive me for the intrusion."
As he spoke, he pried open the isolating barrier with his divine energy and stepped in.
The next moment, his expression changed drastically as he saw Qingxuan lying on the ground with blood flowing out of her mouth. She was obviously unconscious.
With a swoosh, Yun Lintian immediately appeared beside her and injected his wood energy into her body.
"Hurry up and use the power of the Dragon God's soul," Hongyue said in a rare anxious voice.
Although Yun Lintian didn't know how to do it, he didn't hesitate to activate the power of the Dragon God's soul and poured it into Qingxuan's body.
At this moment, the Azure Dragon symbol on his Soul Gate lit up, releasing a brilliant azure-colored light. The light traveled through Yun Lintian's veins and directly entered Qingxuan's Soul Gate.
Her scattered soul gradually stopped collapsing and started to gather together bit by bit.
Yun Lintian continued to pour the soul power into Qingxuan's Soul Gate for ten minutes before his mind began to become heavy. It was a sign of exhausting mental strength.
"Do you hear me, Senior?" Yun Lintian asked as he saw Qingxuan's eyelids twitching from time to time as if she was about to regain consciousness.
Yun Lintian knew that he couldn't continue further. Otherwise, he would faint on the spot. He retracted his hand and put Qingxuan on a bed he had just taken out.
"There's really no other way? This is too slow." Yun Lintian asked while wiping the sweat out of his forehead.
"It will take many sessions to recover her soul," Hongyue said. "She won't be waking up anytime soon."
As Hongyue's voice fell, Qingxuan suddenly opened her eyes, startling both Yun Lintian and Hongyue.
"Senior, you… W-What are you doing…! Ugh!"
When Yun Lintian was about to say something, Qingxuan suddenly grabbed his arm and pressed him to the bed.
Rip—
The robes of Yun Lintian and Qingxuan were torn apart by Qingxuan's power and soon followed by a faint moan and panting sounds…
