Ling Fu's words imdiately chilled everyone's hearts.
"What do you an, Supre Elder?" Ling Gang asked with a displeased expression. "Did sothing happen to our master?"
Ling Fu took a deep breath and said. "Before Master left, he told that if he didn't co back within half a day, we must run imdiately. Yun Lintian will definitely co."
"No! How is it possible? How could our master lose?" Ling Gang worshipped Ling Yongheng as his deity. He refused to believe it.
"This is the truth." Ling Fu said and took out an imaginary stone. "You can take a look at it."
Ling Gang quickly activated the imaginary stone, and Ling Yongheng's image soon appeared in the hall.
Ling Yongheng looked at everyone and said. "Since you have activated this stone, it ans I have fallen into Yun Lintian's hands. From now on, the Everlasting Soul God Realm will be disbanded. All of you should take your resources and leave."
"Master!" Ling Gang cried anxiously.
Ling Yongheng continued. "Don't judge Yun Lintian based on his age. He is, in fact, ruthless when it cos to dealing with his enemies. He will never spare anyone. Go. Leave now before it's too late and wait for my return."
The record ended, and silence enveloped the hall.
"I won't leave!" Ling Gang said with a crazed expression. "I will kill Yun Lintian."
Ling Fu looked at him and said. "You will just be sending yourself to your death."
"Even if I die, I will avenge Master." Ling Gang shouted loudly and rushed out. No one stopped him.
Ling Fu swept his gaze over everyone and finally landed on a beautiful woman to his right. "Young miss, we should leave now."
The woman was Ling Yongheng's one and only daughter, Ling Zhu. Due to her frail body at birth, she rarely appeared in public. Not even Hongyue knew about her existence.
Ling Zhu shook her head and said with a smile. "All of you should leave. I will stay behind. I am too weak. I will beco a burden to everyone."
Ling Fu's expression changed as he quickly said. "No, young miss. Master instructed to take you away at all costs."
Ling Zhu looked directly into Ling Fu's eyes and spoke calmly. "Thank you for taking care of all these years, Uncle Fu. Although I'm weak, I'm not blind. My father is not an affectionate person. He won't care about . The reason he told all of you to escape is that he needed soone to work for him when he returned."
Ling Fu fell silent imdiately. It was true as Ling Zhu spoke. Ling Yongheng didn't instruct him to take Ling Zhu away at all. He ca up with it on his own as he didn't want to see her fall into Yun Lintian's hands.
The fact that he could beco a supre elder of the Everlasting Soul God Realm ant that he wasn't a fool. How could he not know Ling Yongheng's true intention?
Ling Fu sighed and said. "Forget it. This old man will stay with you, young miss."
The other elders glanced at each other. After a prolonged struggle, they decided to leave. They had long heard about Yun Lintian's abnormal strength. He was soone who could force Qian Guimo to retreat. What could they do in front of such a person who defied heaven?
"Take care, Supre Elder, young miss." The elders cupped their fists and departed swiftly, one after another.
Ling Fu and Ling Zhu calmly watched as they left.
"You shouldn't stay here." Ling Zhu looked at Ling Fu and spoke softly. "With your position, Yun Lintian will not let you go, Uncle Fu."
Ling Fu smiled and asked. "Do you believe in your intuition, young miss?"
Without waiting for Ling Zhu to reply, Ling Fu continued. "In fact, I knew that we would end up like this when Master decided to oppose the Beyond Heaven King."
"My intuition always told that it was the worst decision the Master could make."
Ling Zhu turned to look at the scenery outside through the window and spoke gently. "The Beyond Heaven King is a man of greatness. Without him, the Divine Realm would have been enslaved by the enemy. Whoever goes against such a person will not end well."
"My father had options but decided to confront him for a short-term gain. As his daughter, I have to take responsibility for his decision."
Ling Fu sighed and closed his eyes with a painful expression. He truly wished that Ling Zhu was his own daughter. Any parent would feel proud to have such a daughter.
Ling Zhu turned to look at Ling Fu and said with a smile. "You asked if I believed in my intuition. What if I tell you that we will be fine?"
Ling Fu opened his eyes and looked at her with surprise. He then shook his head. "I have been covertly observing Yun Lintian since he first entered the Divine Realm. He may appear kind and seemingly inexperienced, but he is definitely a ruthless man."
"Although Master wasn't the main reason for the Beyond Heaven King's demise, we cannot deny that he was involved. Yun Lintian will certainly avenge his master."
"And even if he doesn't do it, there are vengeful individuals like the Red Moon Princess and the Beyond Heaven King's most loyal servant, Yun Yi. I can't see any hope."
Ling Zhu smiled but said nothing.
***
Two days later, the Fleeing Cloud Profound Ark finally arrived outside the Everlasting Soul God Realm.
Hongyue frowned as she looked at the distant white star. "Unexpectedly, they actually escaped."
She couldn't sense the aura of a peak Divine Emperor within. Clearly, those people had already fled.
"They are just a bunch of cowards." Yun Yi shook his head in disappointnt. He had expected a battle but ended up with none.
"Let's take a look first." Yun Lintian spoke as he steered the profound ark toward the star.
The first thing they saw was a vibrant atmosphere. People were coming and going everywhere. They were completely unaware that their Realm King had already gone.
Yun Lintian didn't have high expectations when he saw this scene. He probably won't gain anything at this rate.
With no further ado, he swiftly steered the profound ark towards the Everlasting Soul Palace.
When they arrived at the palace, Yun Lintian and the others were surprised to see a beautiful woman and an old man waiting for them.
"Junior Ling Zhu greets all the seniors."
