Chapter 379 - Being Targeted
"It's called Azure Spatial Jade. You can think of it as a spatial stone, but its power is several times higher than that. I guess I don't have to explain more about how it plays a significant role to Azure Palace." It was Lin Zixuan who spoke. "They have been monopolized this type of spatial stone since the old era. It's normal for them to dominate this world until now."
Yun Lintian immediately understood everything. In this world, Spatial Stone was extremely scarce. Whoever had it in their possession, that person could control everything related to the spatial activity, such as the Grand Transmission Formation and Storage Ring.
"Master!" At this moment, Murong Xue, Long Feiyan, Wu Qingcheng, and Nantian Fengyu had arrived one after another. When the commotion occurred, they went away from Moonlight Peak.
"That person…" After seeing Lin Zixuan was safe and sound, Murong Xue couldn't help asking.
"Yi from the Azure Palace." Jiang Yingyue answered.
Knowing the enemy's identity, Murong Xue and other sisters glanced at each other with serious expressions.
"Do you need me to contact my family, Master?" Long Feiyan said. Her eyes radiated with golden light. Evidently, she was angry.
Lin Zixuan shook her head. "This is my problem. Do not drag your family into this."
As Long Feiyan's master, she was well aware of her family situation. The Long clan was regarded as second to the nine palaces in terms of strength, but in fact, they weren't that strong anymore. It was due to the calamity they were facing right now. Despite that, Long Feiyan didn't hesitate to offer her help. This made Lin Zixuan's heart warm.
"Did he think he could do anything just because he comes from the Azure Palace?" Nantian Fengyu snorted angrily.
"This matter had passed now. No need to dwell on it further. All of you should go back first." Lin Zixuan waved her hand and turned around, preparing to enter her house. However, she had entirely forgotten that her bamboo hut was blown away by Yi's earlier attack. This left her standing awkwardly for a while.
"Master, you can use my house first." Yun Lintian hurriedly said.
Lin Zixuan had no objection and walked toward Yun Lintian's residence directly, followed by Jiang Yingyue and others, leaving Yun Lintian and Han Bingling behind.
Yun Lintian turned to look at her and asked. "You've deliberately let him go. Am I correct?"
Although Han Bingling looked serious when she fought with Yi earlier, Yun Lintian could see she held back a lot. He didn't believe she couldn't force Yi to stay here.
A playful smile appeared on Han Bingling's face. "Hehe. Our little brother's eyes are sharp enough… You're right. There's no benefit in forcing him to stay here."
"It should be enough to fool him, right?" Yun Lintian was a bit concerned. He didn't know whether Yi could see through the tricks on Lin Zixuan's body.
"No doubt. You have overestimated him. Although he's the leader of the Azure Guard, his thinking ability isn't that strong." Han Bingling said with a smile.
"Then why…" Yun Lintian was visibly confused.
"Then why has he become the leader, right? As you know, the Azure Guard is a kind of inheritance. This inheritance isn't a position but rather power. It is called Azure Soul. As long as a person is compatible with the Azure Soul, he could inherit the power right away." Han Bingling explained. "Looking at him earlier, do you know how old he is?"
Yun Lintian shook his head. The situation was too urgent; he did not have time to check on Yi carefully.
"He's ninety years old this year." Han Bingling said further.
Yun Lintian's eyes widened slightly. "Ninety years old? That's too young."
"Indeed. He's lucky enough to inherit the Number One Azure Soul." Han Bingling said. She paused for a moment and continued. "You have to blame your Master for this matter. After all, she is the one who killed the previous generation Yi."
An awe expression appeared on Yun Lintian's face. He heard a lot about Lin Zixuan's legend, but he had never seen her in action before. That was why he always had some doubts in his heart. After listening to this, it seemed he had underestimated his master for all this time.
At the same time, he was looking forward to seeing her in action when she was fully recovered. These thighs were thick enough for him to hold on.
"You should go visit Principal Tian. I have something to take care of. Also, be ready. The mythical realm could open at any time." Han Bingling said, and her figure vanished from the spot directly.
Yun Lintian touched his chin, pondering over the information he got today for a while before heading toward Sky Courtyard with the unconscious Linlin in his arms.

At this moment, a barren place somewhere on the Central Continent, Yi's figure appeared on the ground. He quickly scanned the surrounding area with his Spiritual Sense. Upon confirming his current position, he immediately set off toward the Azure Palace at lightning speed.
Yi's movement speed was fast. In an hour, he had returned to the Azure Palace and went straight to Weilan Tianjun's secret chamber.
Arriving before the chamber, Yi knelt on one knee, lowering his head, and reported solemnly. "Master, there's nothing wrong with Lin Zixuan. However, she has recruited a new disciple recently. From the information I got, he is an extremely talented individual who could fight the enemy three to four realms higher than him."
After a short period of silence, Weilan Tianjun's voice resounded from the chamber. "There's such a person? What's his origin?"
"Please forgive me, Master. He has Han Bingling covered him. I cannot find information related to his origin." Yi's head lowered further.
"Han Bingling is behind him?… I see. You can go now." There was a trace of surprise in Weilan Tianjun's voice. Before Yi could leave, Weilan Tianjun said again. "Send someone to watch this person."
"Yes, Master." Yi bowed his head and went out.
In the dark chamber, Weilan Tianjun opened his eyes, and azure-colored light flashed across them briefly as he muttered to himself. "Is he coming from that place?"
