Aftermath

"So tired." Hua Litong groaned and collapsed onto the ground, completely powerless.

"Big sister!" Hua Wanru hurriedly caught her sister and carefully checked her condition.

Yun Lintian waved his hand, and several beds and a set of tables appeared in an empty space. He said to them, "You can use this bed."

Hua Litong did not stand on ceremony as she lay down on the bed with the help of Hua Wanru. She closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep afterwards.

Yun Lintian turned to Yang Mengli and gestured for her to lie on the bed. He fed her a potent healing pill and utilized silver needles to stabilize her injuries. It appeared that she would need at least ten days to heal her collarbone.

"Thank you." Yang Mengli said. Her face was pale due to the loss of blood.

"Rest." Yun Lintian responded and allowed her to recuperate.

"Junior Brother Yun, do we have a way to locate Sister Chan's group?" Yun Jing asked. She didn't know how Yun Lintian managed to control this place, but she didn't care about it because she was extremely worried about Yun Chan's group.

Yun Lintian gave her a reassuring smile. "Relax, Senior Sister Jing." Following that, he waved his hand, and several projections immediately appeared in front of them.

Yun Jing and the other two senior sisters were amazed by this magical scene. However, they didn't have time to dwell on it as they noticed Yun Chan's group on one of the projections.

"How could it be? Sister Chan was forced to use the Final Haze?" Yun Jing's eyes widened in disbelief when she saw Yun Chan's miserable appearance. Yun Chan was the strongest among her peers. She didn't think anybody could force her to use the Final Haze. Even a powerful practitioner like Ji Cheng couldn't possibly do that.

"Not only her. Sister Ting too." One of the other two senior sisters pointed at Yun Ting, who was lying in Yun Jiajia's embrace.

"It's Luo Kun." Yang Mengli opened her eyes and said. She then explained the situation to Yun Lintian and the others.

Yun Lintian frowned, "Why didn't they contact me?"

Yang Mengli replied, "Sister Hua tried to contact you before, but she couldn't get through. Maybe it's related to this place."

Yun Lintian took out the modified transmission jade and tried to contact Yun Li, but it failed. He summoned the sun orb into his palm and searched for the clue. A moment later, he realized that there was an isolation formation in this area, which blocked all communication devices.

He deactivated the isolation formation and reached out to Yun Li once again. "Senior Sister Li, can you hear me?"

In the projection, Yun Li was taken aback for a moment before she quickly retrieved her transmission jade from her sleeve. "Junior Brother Yun!? Where are you?"

"I am in a safe place with Senior Sister Jing." Yun Lintian replied. "Senior Sister Li, listen to me. I'll tell you how to get here. You should hurry and bring everyone to my place."

Yun Li was startled. "How do you know our location?"

"I'll tell you later. Please hurry up. Senior Sister Chan and Senior Sister Ting's conditions are not good. They need to be treated as soon as possible. Otherwise, they will never regain their Profound Veins again." Yun Lintian urged.

"Alright!" Yun Li responded quickly and informed everyone in her group. They then started moving under Yun Lintian's guidance.

"It seems that we are no longer important. How about we find something to do?" Yan Qi calmly sat on the chair, staring at a cup of tea that he couldn't drink, as he asked Little Flame.

Little Frame stopped drinking the tea and looked at Yan Qi, smirking at him before continuing to drink.

Yan Qi smiled wryly. He had long forgotten the taste of tea and wanted to reminisce about it once again. Unfortunately, he was merely a fragment of a soul. Even though he could touch it, he wouldn't be able to savor it.

He let out a sigh and gazed at the bustling Yun Lintian with a pensive expression on his face. Although he and Yun Lintian had known each other for a short period of time, he felt that there was something special about Yun Lintian. Of course, he didn't talk about the silver necklace or the Sun that Yun Lintian absorbed. What he felt was that Yun Lintian seemed different from other youths his age.

Normally, when a person finds themselves destined and acquires a supreme treasure, they may feel proud, excited, or even become arrogant. However, Yun Lintian didn't even show the slightest emotion towards this matter. No joy or sorrow. He acted as if everything was within his expectations, to begin with.

Furthermore, Yun Lintian was extremely decisive when it came to eliminating his enemies. At the same time, he was kind and considerate towards his allies. None of these traits seemed to match a sixteen-year-old youth at all.

Suddenly, a wild conjecture flashed across Yan Qi's mind as he stared attentively at Yun Lintian's face. "Don't tell me. He is… No, how could it be possible?" Yan Qi muttered to himself in a low voice. The conjecture he had made earlier had been quickly dismissed by him.

Two hours passed by in the blink of an eye, and Yun Li's group finally arrived at the hall. Yun Lintian inspected the condition of Yun Chan and Yun Ting, and utilized his healing profound art to restore their Profound Veins.

"You are fine now, Senior Sister Chan. But you can't practice during this week." Yun Lintian wiped sweat off his forehead while talking to Yun Chan, who was currently lying on the bed.

Yun Chan was extremely shocked when she discovered that her Profound Vein had been restored. She looked at Yun Lintian and said with tears welling up in her eyes, "Thank you, Junior Brother Yun... Thank you."

The moment she decided to use The Final Haze, she had already abandoned all hope and prepared to live as an ordinary woman when she returned to the sect. However, Yun Lintian not only restored her Profound Vein, but he also renewed her hope. She didn't know what to say anymore at this moment, as she was emotionally overwhelmed with gratitude.

"What are you talking about, Senior Sister Chan? I am your junior brother. If I don't help you, whom am I going to help then?" Yun Lintian chuckled. "You should take a rest. I'll go over there first." He then stood up and walked towards Yang Chen.

"Thank you, Brother Yang, for helping my senior sisters." Yun Lintian bowed his head slightly, expressing his gratitude to Yang Chen.

Yang Chen stood up hurriedly. "What are you doing, Brother Yun? What I did is not as great compared to what you did to me back then. Besides, Luo Kun is my arch-nemesis. I won't let him go naturally. It is a coincidence to meet all the fairies of Misty Cloud."

Yun Lintian didn't discuss this matter any further. He simply nodded and took a seat on an empty chair positioned between Yang Chen and Yang Mengli.

"Your injuries should be fully recovered within two days at most." Yun Lintian glanced at Yang Chen's left arm and said.

"This time. I won't let him escape again!" Yang Chen clenched his fist. He was extremely frustrated when Luo Kun managed to escape from his grasp the last time.

"Don't worry. We know his position. We can deal with him together." Yang Mengli comforted her younger brother.

Yang Chen shook his head. "No. I want to do it myself." He then glanced at Hua Wanru, who coincidentally looked back at him.

Their gazes met, and inexplicable feelings arose within their hearts. Since Yang Chen lost to Luo Kun many months ago, he had never contacted Hua Wanru again, not even once. Even though they met each other again now, there seemed to be an invisible wall standing between them.

Hua Wanru smiled at Yang Cheng and then turned away.

Yang Chen took a deep breath to calm himself down when he saw this. His expression turned cold as he asked Yun Lintian, "Could you please show me Luo Kun's location?"

Yun Lintian nodded. "I can, but I want to go with you. He dared to hurt my senior sister and even humiliated her. I don't want him to die easily." A cold glint flashed across his eyes as he uttered the latter sentence.

Yang Chen didn't refuse this time. He understood Yun Lintian's mood very well.

Yang Mengli looked at the two and said, "I'll go too." Before Yang Chen could reject, Yang Mengli added, "Don't forget that there are still many people from the Luo clan out there. Not to mention those from the Qi Royal Clan and the Chen Clan. We can't rule out the possibility that they regrouped with each other before we reached Luo Kun's position. Neither of you can handle all of them."

Yang Mengli inquired about Yun Lintian's control over this area and discovered that, apart from this location, there were no lethal profound formations in the maze tunnel. Hence, she didn't think Yun Lintian could deal with all the enemies by himself, as he did with Ji Cheng and Huo Ao earlier.

Perhaps in Yang Mengli's mind, Yun Lintian had always been a doctor with low combat skills. That's why she had no confidence in him, even though he had already reached the eighth level of the Essence Profound Realm.

"We will go too!" Yun Li and Yun Jing said in unison. The scene where Luo Kun humiliated Yun Ting was still vivid in Yun Li's mind. She wanted to seek revenge.

The same went for Yun Jing. When she heard about this matter, her anger soared to the sky at once. Right now, she wanted nothing more than to tear Luo Kun into pieces.

"Count me in." Hua Litong spoke from the side. She had regained over seventy percent of her profound energy now. Luo Kun was her goal for coming here in the first place. She always wanted to kill him too.

"Alright. We will leave Senior Sister Jiajia and two other senior sisters to take care of Senior Sister Chan and Senior Sister Ting here. The rest go together." Yun Lintian made a decision, and everyone agreed.

"Let's go." After confirming Luo Kun's position, Yun Lintian's group of ten immediately set off, with Yan Qi and Little Frame watching closely.
