Yun Lintian didn't even blink as he responded, "To be honest, it was my first ti in the Abyssal Rift. I didn't pay much attention to the Chaos Crystals. My goal was to explore the place."
"Really?" Xi Xurou asked with a hint of a smile. "I find that hard to believe."
"It's true," Yun Lintian insisted. "I have no intention of going to the Haven. It's just a place for cultivation, right? I don't see any point in going there."
Cai Xieren frowned slightly. "You don't want to go to the Haven?" she asked in surprise. "But it's the dream of every cultivator in the Realm of Chaos."
Yun Lintian chuckled. "Perhaps I am different," he said. "I do not seek power or glory. I only seek to understand the true nature of reality."
Xi Xurou's eyes narrowed slightly. She could sense that Yun Lintian was hiding sothing, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
"What is so good about the Haven?" Yun Lintian asked curiously. "Can you tell more about it?"
"You should know in your heart. The Haven is a place of great knowledge," Xi Xurou said gently. "It will definitely benefit you."
Yun Lintian raised his brow slightly and turned to look at Cai Xieren. "How was your experience there, Senior Cai? It must have been pretty satisfying, right? After all, you seem to have gained new power similar to the Chaos Knights."
As he asked this, Cai Xieren fell silent. She seed to understand that Yun Lintian had been playing this stupid acting ga with her all along.
Buzz-
Cai Xieren's aura surged, enveloping the entire hall.
Yun Lintian leaned back against the chair comfortably, as if the surrounding pressure didn't affect him in the slightest. A playful smile hung on his lips as he looked at Cai Xieren and Xi Xurou.
"Seriously? Are you insulting my intelligence or sothing? How did you co up with such a clumsy acting ga?" he asked playfully.
Xi Xurou's eyes narrowed slightly. She finally understood.
"So, you heard and saw everything earlier," she said indifferently.
Yun Lintian spread his arms. "Of course. What else did you think?... Not only did I hear and see everything, but I also know where you are keeping Xia Nongyue. If you think you can use her as a hostage, I suggest you reconsider."
Xi Xurou stared at Yun Lintian attentively. She couldn't understand how Yun Lintian had spied on her. Moreover, he seed so sure that he could protect Xia Nongyue from afar.
Although Xi Xurou had lived for eons, there were many things she didn't know—for example, Yun Lintian's ability to place his divine sense on a target without her knowing. It was sothing Yun Lintian had co up with himself, as his God Marks were so nurous, and he could combine any of them into a new power that no one had ever witnessed before.
Cai Xieren didn't say anything. She raised her hand, and black sword energy appeared in the air. With a flick of her wrist, the sword energy instantly tore through space and headed toward Yun Lintian's heart.
Yun Lintian rely glanced at her without even moving an inch. Instantly, a dark-green barrier appeared in front of him.
BANG!
The sword energy collided with the barrier and shattered into pieces. The barrier was perfectly fine, without even a slight fluctuation.
Xi Xurou and Cai Xieren promptly glanced at Gui Xiao on Yun Lintian's shoulder. They had long noticed its unusual bloodline, but it was perfectly concealed by Yun Lintian's power.
"The Black Turtle God's descendant?" Cai Xieren uttered coldly. As soone who had stayed by Yun Tian's side for a very long ti, she was naturally familiar with the Black Turtle God. She didn't expect him to have a descendant.
Yun Lintian looked at Xi Xurou and said calmly, "It seems whoever is behind you didn't give you complete information. Looks like you are being treated as cannon fodder."
There was a subtle change in Xi Xurou's eyes. She didn't expect Yun Lintian to see through her identity at a glance, but it wasn't difficult for him to find out anyway with his abnormal power.
"Since when?" she asked curiously.
Yun Lintian smiled. "The mont I saw you through Xia Nongyue, I imdiately figured out that you were not the Divine Light Empress."
"You have never seen ," Xi Xurou said.
"Indeed. I have never seen the Divine Light Empress before, but you have forgotten that I am also soone who has mastered the profound light elent," Yun Lintian said calmly.
"To master the light elent, one must possess at least a good heart in general. However, you don't look like soone who has a good heart. And when I arrived here to see you face- to-face, I quickly noticed that the profound light elent within your body was extrely thin. To say you are the Divine Light Empress doesn't make sense."
Xi Xurou stared at Yun Lintian for a while and said with a faint smile, "It seems I have underestimated you again and again. I thought you were just a naive young man who pursues righteous acts."
"That's why I said the person behind you is treating you as cannon fodder. This person didn't even tell you basic information about ," Yun Lintian smiled gently.
He clasped his hands together and placed them on his lap. "So, where is the real Divine Light Empress?"
Xi Xurou fell silent. Her expression gradually turned serious as she digested Yun Lintian's
words.
Cai Xieren seed to lose her mind and began to attack Yun Lintian again.
As she raised her hand, several black swords appeared in the air and shot toward Yun Lintian like a hailstorm.
Gui Xiao was about to make a move, but Yun Lintian stopped it.
"Let do it. It seems she's not convinced," Yun Lintian said as he pointed his finger at Cai
Xieren.
Buzz-
All of a sudden, a bright light beam shot out of Yun Lintian's finger and tore through the oncoming black swords, heading toward Cai Xieren.
Cai Xieren's expression changed drastically. She quickly conjured several layers of barriers to protect herself.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The light beam shattered all the layers of barriers that Cai Xieren put up and slamd onto
her chest, sending her flying and crashing onto the wall behind her.
Thud!
Cai Xieren fell to the ground and lay motionless.
Yun Lintian retracted his finger and turned to look at Xi Xurou. "So, where is she?"
