The white light dissipated, and Yun Lintian''s figure appeared several hundred kilometers outside the Azure Ancient City.


    This ce was a dense forest, far away from the main road toward the northern part of the Central Continent.


    A week ago, Yun Lintian had set up a transporting node here in case something had happened. Moreover, he didn''t n to fight the Wang n to death. Escaping was imminent when the situation turned unfavorable.


    Unfortunately, he couldn''t kill Du Huanfeng and Lei Jun in the end. Otherwise, this battle could be considered perfect.


    Rumble—


    Yun Lintian raised his head to look at the dark sky approaching him in the far distance, with a frown between his brows. He didn''t understand how Wang Zedong managed to catch his trace.


    As he was thinking, his expression suddenly changed, and he abruptly turned around. At this moment, a familiar figure appeared in his line of sight, looking at him with a smile. This person was no other than the zing Sun Pce Master, Yan Yaoting!


    "We met again." Yan Yaoting said with a smile.


    Yun Lintian''s brows involuntarily creased together. His mind spun rapidly, trying to figure out how Yan Yaoting knew his secret transporting node.


    "You don''t have to be surprised. In this world, there are many things you have no idea about. Your movements were indeed very secretive, but in front of the supreme powerhouses, they were nothing but child''s y in their eyes." Yan Yaoting seemed to see through Yun Lintian''s thoughts.


    He paused for a moment and said further. "But you don''t have to worry. I have no intention of harming you. I came here to make a deal with you."


    "A deal?" Yun Lintian frowned deeply.


    "That''s right. A deal." Yan Yaoting nodded. "I believe you have heard about the Seven Sword Tomb before. Since you could pull the Heavenly Sword out, your talent for the sword path must be extremely high."


    "I want to invite you to explore the tomb together."


    Yun Lintian was surprised to hear this. He originally thought that Yan Yaoting came here for the Heaven Piercing Sword.


    Yan Yaoting said further. "In exchange, I will tell you who''s behind everything you are facing currently. I believe you should be curious about it right now. After all, Wang Zedong isn''tpetent enough to know your movements so precisely."


    He took a deep look at Yun Lintian. "Moreover, I can help you escape from this ce."


    Yun Lintian fell into deep thought. In fact, he could guess about it. Except for the Star Gazing Pce''s Xing Tengfei, who else could arrange a scheme to counter him so urately?


    "I can tell you that. It''s not Xing Tengfei. Although he likes to concoct conspiracy behind the scene, you haven''t reached the level he has to deal with you personally." Yan Yaoting said as if he saw through Yun Lintian''s mind.


    The frown between Yun Lintian''s brows grew deeper. Could it be… It wasn''t him?


    Rumble—


    All of a sudden, the lightning storm had already arrived a few hundred kilometers away from Yun Lintian''s position. It won''t be long before Wang Zedong could catch up with him.


    "What do you think?" Yan Yaoting nced at the iing storm briefly and asked.


    "Alright. I promise you." Yun Lintian agreed after a short ponder. Anyway, he would go to the Eastern Continent in the near future.


    "Good." Yan Yaoting nodded with a smile. He looked at the transporting node beneath Yun Lintian''s feet and said. "I suggest that you shouldn''t use your formation again. The mastermind behind the scene has already discovered all of them. You will eventually step into his traps once you do… Of course. Including the ones that Little Girl Shen Liqiu set up."


    "Who is he? Xing Renshu? Wen Tianjun?" Yun Lintian asked. In his opinion, there shouldn''t be anyone besides these two who is capable enough.


    Yan Yaoting said with a serious expression. "It''s not them, but a person from the Star Gazing Pce. His name is Xing Chen. Xing Renshu''s older brother. This person has a deep mind and a vicious character. Because his viciousness is difficult to control, they don''t dare to use him and give Xing Renshu the true sessor position instead."


    "Xing Chen?" Yun Lintian was surprised slightly. He had never heard this name before.


    "He knows everything about you and designs this grand scheme just for you… I know this ce because he told me." Yan Yaoting said. "If you want to escape from his palm, you have to leave with me now."


    Yun Lintian fell into deep thought. If it was the case like Yan Yaoting said, this Xing Chen was indeed a formidable enemy. He wasn''t sure how many things this person arranged for him behind the scene.


    Boom!


    "WHERE ARE YOU, LITTLE BEAST!?" Suddenly, Wang Zedong''s roar came from the far distance, along with the lightning storm. Everything in his path was instantly turned into ashes by the Heaven Tribtion''s lightning bolts as he rushed toward Yun Lintian.


    "What is your decision?" Yan Yaoting asked.


    Yun Lintian thought for a moment and replied. "Since this is a deal, I naturally honor my words. However, I won''t go with you."


    Yan Yaoting frowned slightly and said. "Well, I wish you good luck… Don''t underestimate Xing Chen."


    As he finished his sentence, Yan Yaoting disappeared without a trace.


    "Die!"


    Yun Lintian was suddenly shrouded with terrifying killing intense as Wang Zedong appeared in his line of sight.


    In that instant, zing me clusters abruptly shot out from the ground beneath Yun Lintian''s feet, overwhelmingly engulfing him.


    Bang!


    It was as though the Heaven Tribtion had found a new target. A few thick lightning bolts instantly struck Yun Lintian''s position as if they wanted to erase him from the world in one fell swoop.


    "Die! Die! Die!" Wang Zedong had gonepletely insane. He continued to attack Yun Lintian with everything he had, even though he was struck by the lightning bolts that his flesh and bones were on the verge of melting.


    Buzz—


    Amidst explosions and bombardment, a streak of golden light suddenly shot out, going straight to the sky and piercing through the ck clouds…
