Amidst the white mist, the four men looked around themselves solemnly. Since they couldn''t use Spiritual Sense ormunicate with each other, all they could do was rely on themselves.


    Swoosh!


    Yun Lintian silently appeared behind the group leader and thrust his White Dragon Spear at thetter''s head.


    The group leader perceived dangering from behind, but because he lost all his perceptions and relied on his instinct alone wasn''t enough to avoid Yun Lintian''s attack.


    Puff!


    The spear tip smoothly prated the group leader''s head, and Yun Lintian exerted a little more strength to shatter it into pieces, reaping the man''s life. The fourth-level Monarch died just like that.


    Yun Lintian''s figure disappeared once again after killing the group leader. He silently appeared behind the next target and sessfully killed the rest without much effort.


    Yun Lintian returned to Shen Liqiu''s side as the Cloud Domain began to dissipate. His entire body was drenched in sweat. Using the domain against the four Monarchs had consumed almost ny percent of his profound energy.


    Shen Liqiu retracted her power and looked at Yun Lintian in amazement. "Your domain. I don''t think any monarch can fight against you under it. Tell me, how many rules you''ve mastered?"


    Yun Lintian didn''t answer. He took a deep breath and said. "The Poison Valley is getting more daringtely." He looked at her and asked. "I heard your Shen n has a long inheritance. How much do you know about them?"


    Shen Liqiu pouted in dissatisfaction, but she still answered. "The Shen n is indeed powerful, as everyone said, and because of that, the Poison Valley doesn''t dare to enter Myriad Ind. So, we have little to no interaction with them."


    "However, there are many records about the Abyssal Beasts in the n''s library. I''ve read them before. It said there were at least a hundred Divine Ascending Tribtion Abyssal Beasts invading the Azure World back then. And most of them were either getting killed or escaping back to their world."


    She paused for a moment and expressed her thoughts. "I don''t think there are many of them hiding here. No more than ten at most."


    "Why are you so sure?" Yun Lintian asked.


    "Simple." Shen Liqiu pursed her lips. "Think about it. Most of the human Divine Ascending Tribtion Realm experts had either ascended or died in the previous battle. With how powerful the Abyssal Beasts are. Why would they keep hiding until now?"


    She said further with a mysterious smile. "I can tell you a secret. There are no more than thirty Divine Ascending Tribtion Realm powerhouses in this world."


    "Thirty?" Yun Lintian was surprised.


    He roughly calcted it in his heart, which was likely to be true, as she said. Thergest number should be on the Western Continent. Meanwhile, the Northern Continent got zero. As for the Southern and Eastern Continent, he didn''t think there were many of them, and the rest should be on the Central Continent.


    "The strongest one that you know should be the Sky Qilin n''s old patriarch, Tianqi Zongwei, that rumored to be fallen not long ago." A strange light shed through Shen Liqiu''s eyes as she said. "However, I can tell you that the actual strongest person is the Star Gazing Pce''s First Generation Pce Master, Xing Tengfei."


    Yun Lintian was surprised and asked. "Not the First Generation Azure Pce Master?"


    Shen Liqiu smiled mysteriously. "I don''t know if you have heard about the Misty Cloud Pce Master. If I remember correctly, her name is Yun Wushuang. In fact, she was the one who won against the Abyssal Beasts'' invasion. Without her, the world would be entirely different from the current one."


    Yun Lintian pretended to be confused. "The Misty Cloud Pce Master?"


    Shen Liqiu didn''t see through his lie. She nodded. "It''s normal that you don''t know. I don''t know why but somehow everything about her has disappeared as if she had never existed before."


    She continued with admiration written all over her face." My great-grandpa was fortunate enough to witness her peerless presence. He had recorded her deeds during the invasion. It could be said she had single-handedly defeated the intruders."


    A trace of anger appeared in her eyes as she said further. "However, at the end of the incident. She had been calcted by Xing Tengfei and was heavily injured by him. Since then, no one had ever seen her again."


    A cold glint shed through Yun Lintian''s eyes briefly before disappearing. He asked. "Could it be she died in his hand?"


    To Yun Lintian''s surprise, Shen Liqiu shook her head and said firmly. "Certainly not. My great-grandpa had investigated this matter and found a little clue about her. She wasn''t dead for sure because she had made an arrangement for her Misty Cloud Pce afterward… My great-grandpa guessed that she had ascended to the Divine World in order to escape from Xing Tengfei."


    "Then, how did everything about her disappear? Who did it?" Yun Lintian asked further.


    Shen Liqiu frowned and replied. "This is really confusing. My great-grandpater discovered an abnormality in the people in this world, including the people around him. Apparently, everyone seemed to forget about her existence overnight."


    "But your great-grandpa can remember it?" Yun Lintian was puzzled. Unlike Nantian Xin, who was reborn with the Nirvana Rebirth ability. What made Shen Liqiu''s great-grandfather an exception?


    Shen Liqiu hesitated slightly and replied. "My great-grandpa has a special soul. Perhaps because of this, he could retain the memory of Senior Yun."


    It was a dead end again… Yun Lintian sighed inwardly. The mystery behind this matter was almost impossible to unravel.


    "Is your great-grandfather…?" Yun Lintian asked.


    A trace of sadness appeared on Shen Liqiu''s face as she replied. "He had just passed away a few years ago. If he was still alive, I wouldn''t have to run away from the n like this."


    "Oh? What are you escaping from?" Yun Lintian asked curiously.


    Before Shen Liqiu could reply, Yun Lintian suddenly said further. "Let me guess. A forced marriage?"


    Shen Liqiu''s eyes widened open in surprise. "How did you know?"


    Hearing this, Yun Lintian was rendered speechless… For real? This plot again?
