Chapter 2374: The Primordial Sun God (1)



The guards stiffened. "What nonsense are you spouting!?" one of them barked, his voice laced with both fear and bravado. "True God Xuanming is invincible! You dare disrespect him?"

Yun Lintian didn't bother explaining. He simply raised his hand, and a miniature sun, a blazing orb of concentrated power, materialized above his palm. The air shimmered with heat, and the guards instinctively recoiled, their faces pale with terror.

"I'll give you one chance," Yun Lintian said, his voice calm but laced with undeniable authority. "Where is Ouyang Feng?"

The guards exchanged panicked glances. They were no fools; the sheer power emanating from Yun Lintian was beyond anything they had ever encountered.

One of them, trembling, pointed towards the palace. "He... he's inside."

He didn't need to finish the sentence. Yun Lintian understood. With a wave of his hand, he dismissed the guards, sending them flying backward with a gentle force that nonetheless left them unconscious.

He turned to Master Bai and the others. "Stay here. I'll handle this."

Before they could protest, he vanished, leaving behind only a faint golden shimmer in the air. He reappeared within the palace walls, his senses alert for any sign of danger.

The palace was eerily silent. The opulent halls, adorned with gold and jade, were deserted. A heavy sense of dread hung in the air, a stark contrast to the vibrant landscape outside.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Yun Lintian followed the faint traces of Ouyang Feng's aura, his footsteps echoing through the empty corridors. He soon arrived at a set of grand double doors, intricately carved with scenes of mythical beasts. A faint moaning sound emanated from within.

He pushed the doors open, and the sight that greeted him made his blood run cold.

The room was a chamber of horrors. Numerous figures-men and women, young and old- were chained to the walls, their bodies bearing the gruesome marks of torture. Alchemists, their faces twisted with cruel delight, hovered over them, conducting their vile experiments. Yun Lintian's eyes fell upon Ouyang Feng, who was strapped to a stone table in the center of the room. His body was covered in wounds, his breathing shallow and labored. An alchemist, his face hidden behind a grotesque mask, was preparing to inject him with a glowing green liquid.

"Hmm?" one of the alchemists noticed Yun Lintian's presence. "Who are you? You have no right to be here."

Yun Lintian didn't deign to respond. He raised his hand, and a miniature sun materialized above his palm, its flames burning with righteous fury. The moment he saw this scene, he had already given everyone a death sentence.

"It's been a while..." Master Bai looked at the familiar environment with relief. However, when his gaze landed on Jin Huian, his entire body stiffened.

"Heh. You're still alive?" Jin Huian sneered mockingly.

Master Bai was embarrassed and could only bury himself in Yun Lintian's hair.

"Come here," Jin Huian said calmly, but it felt like a voice from hell to Master Bai.

However, Master Bai could not resist. He obediently flapped his wings and flew towards Jin Huian.

"W... Wife," he stammered.

Pa!

"Who is your wife?" Jin Huian slapped his head and dragged him away.

"No, wife! Please be gentler! Ouch!" Master Bai's scream echoed throughout the space as he disappeared from everyone's sight.

Yun Lintian chuckled and shook his head in amusement. He was about to say something when he saw Hua Wanru and Yang Mengli staring at Yang Chen resentfully.

Yun Lintian sighed and patted Yang Chen's shoulder. "Good luck, Brother Yang."

Yang Chen smiled wryly and walked towards the two women with difficulty.

Yun Lintian could only pray for his brother. After handing the victims to Yun Ruanyu, he turned to Ouyang Feng and the two women. "Follow me."

He led them to a private room inside the tower and provided them with spirit tea before asking, "How did you awaken the Primordial Sun God's power?"

Ouyang Feng took a sip of tea and let out a long breath. "To tell you the truth, I didn't know either. Upon returning to my hometown, I suddenly discovered something strange, and it led me to a hidden chamber inside the volcano."

"Before I could react, the sun orb immediately rushed into my body and gave me the power. Unfortunately, I could only control ten percent of it."
