Yun Lintian calmly circulated his divine energy, his shadow rapidly extending outward, splitting into several tentacles that quietly rushed towards all those he considered evil.
As the shadows danced and flickered in the dimly lit dungeon, a silent and deadly ballet unfolded. Yun Lintian's shadow tentacles, imbued with the searing intensity of the Law of Fire, slithered through the corridors and chambers of the Alchemist Association's headquarters. They sought out every alchemist, guard, and accomplice involved in True God Xuanming's cruel experiments.
With a swiftness that defied perception, the shadow tentacles wrapped around their unsuspecting victims, engulfing them in an inferno of purifying flames. There were no screams, no struggles, only the soft hiss of burning flesh and the crackling of flames.
One by one, the perpetrators of this monstrous operation were erased from existence, their ashes scattering like dust in the wind.
Yun Lintian's actions were swift and merciless, a silent storm of retribution sweeping through the palace complex. None of the victims noticed their demise, their last moments spent in blissful ignorance of their impending doom.
Meanwhile, back in the dungeon, Yun Lintian's focus shifted to the countless prisoners languishing in their cages. He channeled the life-giving energy of the Tree of Life, extending verdant vines toward each and every one of them.
The vines gently wrapped around their frail bodies, infusing them with healing energy and purging the toxins that ravaged their systems. The prisoners' eyes widened in astonishment as they felt the warmth and vitality coursing through their veins.
Their wounds began to close, their bodies regained strength, and their spirits lifted from the depths of despair. The once-silent dungeon echoed with gasps of wonder and gratitude.
Master Bai and Yang Chen watched in awe as Yun Lintian's power transformed the desolate chamber into a haven of healing. They had never witnessed such a display of compassion and might.
"You have become stronger again," Master Bai lamented with a sigh. However, he was happy for Yun Lintian. Finally, the young boy back then was no longer a weak chicken who could only run and hide.
Yang Chen didn't say anything. His eyes filled with respect and admiration as he looked at Yun Lintian. He wished he could reach his level one day.
Gong Yuxiao and Zhu Jinxiu, who had been waiting anxiously in the apprentice wing, also felt the surge of life energy emanating from the dungeon. Their hearts swelled with hope when they noticed this scene. They couldn't help but marvel at how powerful Yun Lintian was.
As the last of the prisoners were healed and freed from their cages, Yun Lintian turned to Master Bai and Yang Chen. "Let's go," he said, his voice firm and resolute. "It's time to leave this place."
Yun Lintian summoned the Gate of Beyond Heaven and beckoned all the prisoners to enter. He simply sent these people directly to Nine Firmament City.
Although the prisoners didn't know where they were heading, they knew it was their only chance to escape this hell. Without hesitation, they quickly walked into the gate.
After sending everyone away, Yun Lintian left the dungeon and continued to send the other victims to Nine Firmament City. He also notified Yun Ruanyu about the situation and let her take care of them.
Yun Lintian turned to Master Bai and Yang Chen and asked, "Do you want to go back?"
Yang Chen shook his head. "I want to find Brother Ouyang first. He saved our lives."
Master Bai had now transformed into a white owl and sat on Yun Lintian's head. "Let's find him."
Yun Lintian raised his brow and asked, "Are you not afraid that I can't beat True God Xuanming?"
"If you can't beat him, you can just call those people over. There are so many masters beside you. Why don't we ask them for help?" Master Bai said nonchalantly.
Yun Lintian rolled his eyes speechlessly. He forgot that this white bird was shameless.
"Actually," he spoke up, "we don't need to find him. He will be here soon."
The expressions of Yang Chen and Master Bai changed drastically.
"What do you mean, Brother Yun?" Yang Chen asked in confusion. Yun Lintian's operation was seamless and swift. It was impossible for anyone outside to know what had happened here.
"It's just my intuition," Yun Lintian said. "During this period, I've met many True Gods, and I've discovered that they are indeed different from any other cultivators. This place is his headquarters. It's impossible for True God Xuanming not to know about the situation here." Master Bai frowned. "Boy, it was your intention all along, wasn't it? Heh. I didn't expect you to be so cocky now."
Yun Lintian smiled and said, "Since I have already found both of you here, I don't have to be cautious anymore. I also want to see what kind of person this so-called True God Xuanming is."
Master Bai chuckled. "A doctor's pride, huh?"
After knowing Yun Lintian for so long, Master Bai believed that Yun Lintian held a grudge against True God Xuanming because he was a doctor who harmed people. It wasn't about justice but the pride Yun Lintian took in his role as a doctor.
Throughout his journey, Master Bai had witnessed Yun Lintian saving countless people. It would be wrong if Yun Lintian just left without eliminating this evil doctor.
Gong Yuxuan and Zhu Jiuxin walked over, immediately disappointed when they didn't see Ouyang Feng.
"Sister Gong, Sister Zhu." Yang Chen was surprised to see them there.
"I'm glad both of you are safe," Gong Yuxiao said sincerely. "We didn't expect the expert we found to have such a close relationship with you. It was truly fate."
Yang Chen immediately understood. He lowered his head and said with guilt, "I'm sorry, Sister Gong, Sister Zhu. I couldn't help Brother Ouyang."
"It's not your fault," Zhu Jiuxin shook her head. "We're talking about a True God here."
Yang Chen wanted to say something but no words came out in the end.
"Here we come," Yun Lintian said with a smile as he turned to look at the sky.
A terrifying pressure immediately descended, enveloping the entire building. Master Bai, Yang Chen, Gong Yuxiao, and Zhu Jinxiu felt their bodies stiffen, as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on their very souls. They struggled to breathe, their hearts pounding in
their chests.
Suddenly, a figure materialized from thin air, his presence dominating the space around them. It was True God Xuanming, his face was incomparably cold.
"Who are you?" True God Xuanming's voice boomed, echoing through the valley like thunder. "How dare you trespass into my domain and cause havoc in my Alchemist Association."
