The twins sitting in the back hadn’t sensed the change in the expressions of Yan Wanqiu and Jue Qingzi. They were tightly holding onto the pure-white hairs of the red-crowned cranes and looking at the two yin phoenixes pulling a chariot with curiosity in their gazes.

“Which power do you belong to?”

Yin Qi’s languid voice came from the chariot. When Jue Qingzi and Yan Wanqiu heard him, they feigned calmness and said, “We belong to a small faction, Lord will probably not know it. May I ask why is lord stopping us?”

“How brazen! Do you know who is inside the chariot? How dare you ask so many questions!” the disciples of Yin Manor flying on the two sides of the chariot shouted in an icy voice, and the black fog surrounding their bodies changed into countless malicious ghosts. They created a miniature underworld out of nowhere.

The twins shrank back, seemingly intimidated by it. Jue Qingzi frowned slightly while attentively watching the chariot.

“We are disciples of Profound Sword Pavilion,. What does the lord of Yin Manor want to ask us?” he said in a tranquil voice.

“Right, is it that Profound Sword Pavilion which previously had a great principal golden immortal and is in possession of the lineage of a sword immortal? But it seems like it has decayed quite a bit.

“Back in the day, your sect ancestor fought together with my lord father. Since they are former acquaintances, then let them go, don’t bother them unnecessarily,” Yin Qi unhurriedly said from the chariot.

Jue Qingzi looked down for a moment, then he calmly said, “Many thanks to yin son of heaven. We will leave first.”

After saying that, he patted the back of the red-crowned crane. They took a detour around the chariot and turned into a streak of light which disappeared quickly.

“Continue. Stop everyone who has been near those god ruins,” Yin Qi said in light tone from inside the chariot.

One of the disciples of Yin Manor on the side walked to the front and said, “Yin son of heaven, those disciples of Profound Sword Pavilion from just a moment ago had entered the god ruins with Leng Yan. After we departed, the disciples of Nine Palaces also left. Only Leng Yan and the disciples of Profound Sword Pavilion remained inside. Now…..”

“…” Yin Qi.

After a moment of silence, Yin Qi’s expression turned gloomy, and he said in a serene tone while leaning against the cushion, “What did you say just now?”

“Just a moment ago, yin son of heaven, your distinguished self said that they were the later generations of a former acquaintance so we should let them go, so I did not say anything. But after seeing Profound Sword Pavilion leave so hurriedly, I realized that something was wrong.”

“Send people after them. The one with the highest cultivation among the disciples of Profound Sword Pavilion is only at tribulation passing stage, so you should dispatch three tribulating passing stage experts to hunt them. But by all means, don’t kill them.

“After all, when all’s said and done, the sect master of Profound Sword Pavilion is a peak golden immortal powerhouse who might be even more powerful than the weaker great principal golden immortal experts if he chose to fight with his life on the line,” Yin Qi said.

When the disciples of Profound Sword Pavilion came out, Leng Yan should have also come out with them. It seemed like the ancient god’s corpse demon was still inside the god ruins.

“Let’s go, we will hurry to the god ruins.”

Three disciples of Yin Manor separated from the chariot and rushed into the direction in which Jue Qingzi had left. In the meantime, the chariot continued to advance in the direction of the god ruins.

“Let’s be quick and return directly to the base camp of the Alliance. The appearance of Yin Manor’s people near the god ruins isn’t a good omen. Li Yunmu took out the metal-attributed godhood, so if the Yin Manor’s disciples don’t discover it, they will definitely find trouble with us,” Yan Wanqiu anxiously said while savagely nibbling on a chicken leg.

The red-crowned crane emitted a loud cry, and its speed suddenly increased as it advanced toward the direction of the Alliance’s base camp.

“Perhaps those disciples of Yin Manor were just passing by. Junior apprentice sister, you don’t need to be anxious,” Jue Qingzi said while taking hold of the twins and moving them to the front.

“How can I not be anxious? Yin son of heaven comes from the Yin Manor, and what’s more, didn’t you see that some of the Yin Manor’s disciples with him were those who had entered the god ruins with us?

“That group of Yin Manor’s disciples will tell about the events in the god ruins to yin son of heaven. If they went inside and found that Leng Yan and the others had died and that the corpse demon of the ancient god had disappeared, who do you think they will look for then?” Yan Wanqiu asked.

“They will look for us…”

As Jue Qingzi said that, he turned his head back and saw three balls of black fog in the sky. They had countless malicious spirits residing within them and created a mini-version of hell.

Coarse crowning echoed behind them like a cassette tape, and an icy voice spoke up. “Halt, you disciples of Profound Sword Pavilion. Yin son of heaven has a request!”

When Jue Qingzi heard those words, he handed over the twins to Yan Wanqiu and placed the red-crowned cranes in the beast pouch. The next instant, he made a spell formation in mid-air and drew the sword hanging on his back. He then grabbed Yan Wanqiu and transformed into a long rainbow that rushed toward the Alliance base camp at an extremely fast speed.

When Yin Manor’s disciples behind him saw that, they chased after with loud shouts.

“What should we do now that three tribulation passing powerhouses are after us? I told you that yin son of heaven has sensed something. Damn it, if we returned with these disciples of Yin Manor, then it would be no different from offering ourselves to be killed. I heard rumors in the real world that the newly promoted yin son of heaven is extremely cruel,” Yan Wanqiu said with hatred in her voice while tightly holding the twins.

It wasn’t that they had thought that the matter of god ruins would not be discovered, but that it would be discovered so quickly. Even before they came out of the night pearl small world, they were noticed by the disciples of Yin Manor.

Right then, the only way out for them was to return to the Alliance’s base camp and then Profound Sword Pavilion. As long as they returned, they would not need to be afraid of death.

Although Profound Sword Pavilion was a weak power, it was still a member of the Alliance. Moreover, the sect master of Profound Sword Pavilion was a peak golden immortal powerhouse, so Yin Manor wouldn’t come knocking down on their sect just for an ancient god’s corpse demon.

“Senior apprentice brother, perhaps we should return and collaborate with Li Yunmu. Yin son of heaven is already suspicious of us, and if he doesn’t see any corpse demon of an ancient god after entering the god ruins, he will definitely blame us.

“So we might as well use the option to collaborate with Li Yunmu and ask him to abduct all the disciples of Yin Manor and Nine Palaces. That way, there wouldn’t be anyone who could suspect us regarding this matter,” Yan Wanqiu suddenly said after taking a look at the palaces floating in the horizon.

It was clear to her that yin son of heaven had already fixed his gaze on them, so if they returned to the sect, they would bring trouble back home. But if they collaborated with Li Yunmu, such a thing would not happen. Since they obtained a godhood, it would be best to remove all traces of the matter.

Jue Qingzi’s expression changed, and he said with some hesitation, “Collaborating with Li Yunmu is also like entering a tiger’s den. Although we obtained a godhood this time, the blame also fell on us. We can’t do it, junior apprentice sister. If we chose the crazy option of following him, perhaps even the sect master would not be able to protect us in the future.”

After saying that, he looked back while rushing forward. Yi Manor disciples covered in the black fog were still chasing after them. But even if their cultivation was similar to his, they were unable to overtake him in terms of speed.

If they continued proceeding at the same speed toward the Alliance’s base camp, the three disciples of Yin Manor would be unable to stop them from returning to the Goumang Real World.
