After thinking for a moment, Zuo Qiufeng swallowed nervously and whispered, "When that person disappeared, the entire Yutian Palace suffered. Duanmu Xiaoman avenged all of that person’s enemies. In the end, it was a mystery. After many years, they gave up hope and hid in the back peak for cultivation! Since then, we’re not allowed to mention that person’s name."

The more Jun Haotian listened, the more alarmed he became. His handsome face filled with seriousness, he whispered, "Elder Gu Yue has always been in harmony with the Palace Master. If Su Yi really died, and Elder Gu Yue causes trouble with the Palace Master, it would be a disaster!"

Zuo Qiufeng spoke in a dark tone, "This kid, I don’t think it’s so easy for him to die. If he’s not dead…"

"Master, it’s okay to speak!" Jun Haotian respectfully looked at Zuo Qiufeng, who seemed hesitant to speak.

"Can you break through the Mountain Guardian Array on your own? Can you confront Elder Tong and survive? Zuo Qiufeng’s eyes seemed to shine.

Jun Haotian shook his head. Even though he was invincible at the same level, he had just recently reached the fourth tier. Going further, each level was more difficult than the previous.

"Very difficult!" 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Zuo Qiufeng patted Jun Haotian’s shoulder heavily and encouraged him, "You are the hope of my lifetime. Even if his physical strength is extraordinary and his cultivation is peculiar, even if he comes out alive from the back peak, you will definitely be able to defeat him! I will take care of everything else for you. Don’t worry!"

Jun Haotian looked deeply at his master. Since he was young, his master had placed all the responsibilities on his shoulders. Master and disciple supported and complemented each other. Until now, Zuo Qiufeng’s dream of becoming a Palace Master had also become Jun Haotian’s goal to strive for.

In the many years of seeking the position of Palace Master, Jun Haotian had been practicing diligently, while his master cleared obstacles for him outside and did many things that shouldn’t have been done in order to win people’s hearts.

"No matter what, we must achieve first place in the Yutian Soul Race this time!" Anger gradually filled Jun Haotian’s cold gaze.

Late at night, after a noisy evening, Yutian Palace finally became calm. The pale moon was hanging high in the sky, complementing the approaching dawn.

Good news stays at home, while bad news travels far and wide. It didn’t take long for the news of Su Yi’s serious injury and banishment to reach Lingyue Peak.

Tian Chang called Han Yurou, Li Shiran, and others overnight. Upon hearing the news, Li Shiran and Achu were stunned on the spot.

Li Shiran’s eyes filled with sparkling tears, while Achu’s face turned pale, glaring fiercely at Senior Tian Chang.

"Senior Tian Chang, you’re lying! You’re lying, aren’t you?" Achu started to panic at first, but then burst into laughter.

"You must think we’re working too hard, waking us up in the middle of the night, right?"

With tearful eyes, she looked at Tian Chang, really hoping for a nod from him, but Tian Chang shook his head.

"The junior brothers from the front peak saw Brother Su escaping to the back mountain and getting hit by the mountain guardian formation. Even if he’s not hurt, once he reaches the back mountain, the Palace Master has given the order – trespassers will die! I’m afraid Brother Su this time…"

Upon hearing this, Li Shiran’s delicate body trembled, she slumped onto a chair, turning her head away as she sobbed uncontrollably. Achu, in an instant, lost all his spirit, whispering under his breath.

"No, Brother Su is the Proud King, a great hero renowned in the Central Region. He will take me to Sacred Mountain and defeat the thieves. He won’t die easily!"

Han Yurou also stepped back and felt a pang in her nose. Just yesterday, she had saved her dear Su Yi from the hands of Yutian Palace. How could he just die like this today?

"Senior Tian Chang, I want to go to the front peak!"

Tian Chang immediately stopped her and comforted her softly, saying, "The front peak is sealed off. It was destroyed in the battle with Elder Tong. No one is allowed in now! They are working overnight to repair the square!"

"Why did they fight Elder Tong?" Han Yurou furrowed her delicate eyebrows.

"According to rumors, Su Yi snuck into the front peak at night and tried to spy on the secret of the Sky Pill Pavilion. This triggered the mountain guarding formation and caught the attention of Ji Feibao and Jin Qianyun, who brought Elder Tong! Elder Tong severely injured Su Yi!"

Han Yurou’s anger surged instantly, her eyes sharp as swords. She exclaimed, "Nonsense! During the day, Su Yi couldn’t care less about your Sky Pill Pavilion, why would he go there at night!"

Tian Chang let out a long sigh and angrily said, "That’s exactly what I think!"

"But what should we do, dear Su Yi…" Since the collapse of the Li family, Su Yi had been by their side like a protective deity. Now, with Su Yi gone, they felt completely lost without a leader.

Han Yurou stomped her foot and gritted her teeth, "Yutian Palace is so unfair! Using such cheap tricks!"

She turned to the Li siblings and spoke with determination, "Su Yi will definitely come back safely! You mustn’t lose your focus! Keep practicing, the Yutian Soul Race is about to begin!"

Li Shiran and Achu wiped away their tears, their teary eyes gradually showed a strong resolve.

"Senior Tian Chang, I’m counting on you here! I’ll leave the palace for a while, but I’ll be back for the Yutian Soul Race!"

Tian Chang seemed to have an idea and said, "I’ve already informed our master. Our status is too low, should we wait for Elder Gu Yue?"

Han Yurou waved her hand angrily and said, "There’s no time, those old fools are so hateful! They’re humiliating our Wuliang School, which is as prestigious as the Yun Region! You wait for Elder Gu Yue at Lingyue Peak, I’ll go now!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Han Yurou’s spiritual energy surged under her feet. The sky became slightly brighter and a fragrant breeze passed by. Her graceful figure disappeared into the sky full of fish-like white light.

"Let’s go! We’ll go practice! We won’t let Su Yi’s kindness go to waste!" Tian Chang clenched his fist angrily and stepped out of the doorway.

In the quiet deep forest, the pond water sparkled, like stars falling from the sky.

Su Yi, who was unconscious, lay inside. The warm pool water flowed into Su Yi’s mind and heart like medicine.

"Hiss, hiss!"

A mysterious ice blue light began to spread all over Su Yi’s body. Then, the fire energy inside him surged out and clashed with the ice blue light.

A terrifying blue and red light intertwined like dragons and snakes, shining brightly in the air.

Just now, an unknown woman sat in the forest, her gaze filled with seriousness. She softly said, "This kid’s will to survive is so strong! If he had been like this, I could have found him back then…"

But no one knew that inside Su Yi’s body, it was like a boiling kettle. The steam-like energy mingled with the orderly fused pool water on his wounds, emitting a strange and dazzling light.

"Sizzle, sizzle!"

The Heavenly Yuan Demonic Soul inside Su Yi’s body still shone brightly. The mysterious light cluster was suppressed by Su Yi before he fell unconscious and now there was no movement at all.

"Boom!"

Afterwards, the fire energy started to fade away, and the earth energy began to rise up, one blue and one yellow, intertwining and blending together.
