"Indeed!
Zi Lingling had activated the Law of Judgment!
This was also the second time she had used the Law of Judgment.
As the Law of Judgment appeared, the Weapon of Judgment materialized from nowhere and was grasped by her.
"Five!"
"Four!"
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
"Withdraw!"
As the words fell, Xuanyuan Xun, Rong Guang, and Shangguan Yulin leaped onto the teleportation array simultaneously.
Ye Lingyuan, with a flash of his figure, jumped behind Zi Lingling.
At the same time, the Weapon of Judgment in Zi Lingling's hand drew a strange arc through the night.
All the demonic beasts caught in this arc turned into nothingness without even emitting a sound.
Those demonic beasts within the arc, terrified by the Weapon of Judgment, all prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling.
After unleashing this strike, Zi Lingling was at the end of her strength.
Fortunately, Ye Lingyuan was quick-witted. He timely embraced her slender waist and, with a leap, landed on the teleportation array.
Just then, the teleportation array fully activated.
With a flash of brilliant light, the five individuals vanished from their spot.
A cross-continental teleportation array would not reach its destination in a short time.
Within the teleportation channel, Ye Lingyuan continuously shook the unconscious Zi Lingling, softly calling out, "Ling'er, Ling'er..."
Xuanyuan Xun, Rong Guang, and Shangguan Yulin finally recovered from the terrifying strike of the Weapon of Judgment.
They then noticed Zi Lingling's current state.
"What's wrong with her?"
The three asked in unison.
Ye Lingyuan glanced at the three, then carefully lifted Zi Lingling into his arms and said, "The side effect of that last strike!"
He had initially not intended to explain, but he couldn't let the three receive Zi Lingling's favor unknowingly.
Rong Guang and Shangguan Yulin, too shocked, blurted out, "Is it that serious?"
Xuanyuan Xun asked with concern, "Will she be alright?"
Ye Lingyuan's eyes were filled with heartache as he replied, "Last time she used this move, she slept for three days!"
"This..."
Xuanyuan Xun, Rong Guang, and Shangguan Yulin were rendered speechless, unsure how to comfort him.
As the few of them didn't know what to say, Ye Lingyuan was also preoccupied.
An awkward atmosphere filled the teleportation channel.
Half an hour later, a light finally appeared before the five of them.
They knew they had reached their destination.
Ye Lingyuan, holding Zi Lingling, walked to the forefront and said coldly, "Prepare to exit the teleportation array!"
With Zi Lingling unconscious, the command naturally fell to him.
Another fifteen minutes passed, and the five felt a sense of dizziness, after which they found themselves in a forest.
Seeing this, Xuanyuan Xun, Rong Guang, and Shangguan Yulin quickly surrounded Ye Lingyuan and Zi Lingling, warily observing their surroundings.
Ye Lingyuan, however, looked at the familiar scenery before him and let out a sigh of relief.
This place was no other than where he and Zi Lingling had been teleported from the bottom of the Cliff of Soul Severance last time.
Different teleportation channels leading to the same spatial node?
A hint of confusion flickered in Ye Lingyuan's eyes.
Could it be that the entire Misty Forest existed to conceal this spatial node?
However, now was not the time to ponder these matters.
He had to quickly lead them out of the Misty Forest to the Tianyuan Empire and find a place for Zi Lingling to rest.
"No need to be nervous. The beast races here are very weak and won't harm us."
After speaking, Ye Lingyuan took the lead and walked forward.
Suddenly, Shangguan Yulin pointed to the eastern sky and said, "Look!"
Everyone looked up and saw a large black net in the sky, ensnaring the rising sun.
A sign of world destruction!
It was indeed a sign of world destruction!
Although Xuanyuan Xun had heard Zi Lingling describe this scene before, he couldn't help but be shocked when he witnessed it with his own eyes.
The current situation was far more serious than Zi Lingling had described.
It seemed that the spread of this world-destruction omen was accelerating.
It wouldn't be long before the black spot he saw in the Tianci Continent would spread out in a spiderweb pattern.
"Alas!"
Xuanyuan Xun sighed and said, "Our awakening speed should also be accelerated!"
Rong Guang nodded and said, "When the President told me about the calamity of world destruction, I found it hard to believe. Now, it seems there is no worst, only worse."
Shangguan Yulin also said, "Alas, when Miss Zi spoke of it, I was still wondering if what she said was true or false. Now, I can only feel ashamed!"
While they were conversing, Ye Lingyuan was also shocked inwardly, "The speed at which this black net is spreading is truly fast. In just one year, it has occupied half of the eastern sky! It seems that the search for the guardian's reincarnation must also be expedited."
With this thought, he felt the urgency of time.
"Let's go!"
He said coldly, his speed increasing significantly.
Xuanyuan Xun, Rong Guang, and Shangguan Yulin did not delay and quickened their pace to follow.
Along the way, besides the whistling wind, the only sounds they heard were the restless roars of the beast races.
Their cultivation levels were all above the Great God realm, so even though the Misty Forest was vast, with their speed, they soon arrived at Xianhe Prefecture.
The prefectural office of Xianhe Prefecture was located at the former stronghold of the Iron Blood Mercenary Group in Xianhe Town.
Under Ye Lingyuan's lead, the four quickly found the largest inn in Xianhe Prefecture – the King's Inn.
The King's Inn was formerly the Xianhe Inn. As the entire Xianhe Town had become the stronghold of the King's Mercenary Group, the Xianhe Inn was renamed the King's Inn.
"Esteemed guests, are you here for lodging or a meal?"
The innkeeper of the King's Inn was the same innkeeper from the former Xianhe Inn.
However, because he was busy calculating with his abacus, he did not recognize Ye Lingyuan.
"Lodging!" Ye Lingyuan said coldly.
This voice...
It sounded a bit familiar?
The innkeeper's hand, which was manipulating the abacus, suddenly stopped in mid-air.
He looked up and saw Ye Lingyuan's distinctive face.
His Highness the King of Hell?
The Emperor of Tianyuan?
Based solely on his face, the innkeeper was still uncertain, but when he saw Zi Lingling in Ye Lingyuan's arms, he was greatly startled.
He stammered, "The... the King of Hell... No, no, no... Your Majesty... Your Majesty, you... you..."
Portraits of Emperor Ye Lingyuan of Tianyuan and Empress Zi Lingling of Tianyuan had long been circulated throughout the Tianyuan Empire.
Therefore, there was no one in the Tianyuan Empire who did not recognize the two.
Ye Lingyuan frowned and said, "Enough! Arrange four rooms for Us first!"
"Yes... Yes... Yes... this humble subject... I... will arrange it immediately!"
The innkeeper could barely speak coherently, and his legs were trembling.
"Hurry up!" Ye Lingyuan urged.
"Yes! This... I... will... arrange it!"
