Lin Yun stood up at once. “Since everyone else has evacuated, we should leave quickly too.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yun led Zi Tong and Zou Dongsheng out of the sleeping hall.
The Wuji Heavenly Palace was now completely empty, silent in a way that felt terrifying.
Compared to the bustling scene during the earlier Wuji Grand Tournament, the difference was like night and day.
Lin Yun immediately rose into the air.
While airborne, he glanced back at the Wuji Heavenly Palace.
The palace had been newly built not long ago, so it still looked fresh, grand, and luxurious, but now it was utterly deserted.
Lin Yun knew clearly that this place would soon become ruins.
He activated his Wuji Dharma Form, condensed a clone, and left it there. Then he took Zi Tong and Zou Dongsheng straight towards the elf clan border.
…
On the other side.
In the royal palace of the elf clan’s Heavenly Saint City.
“Damn it, the six great powers actually dare to attack the Wuji Heavenly Palace!” The elf clan leader’s face darkened upon receiving the news.
“Father, if the six great powers learn that Lin Yun and the others are fleeing towards our elf clan, will they pursue them inside our territory? Should I take more people and head to the border immediately?” the sixth prince asked.
“Good! Sixth son, personally lead all the Extreme Realm experts from the royal city and rush there at once. Also, inform Zi Tong and Lin Yun that once they enter elf territory, they must not linger at the border but continue withdrawing deeper. Meet up with them on the way.” The clan leader gave his orders.
“Yes!” The sixth prince accepted the command.
“Sixth son, remember this. If the six great powers enter our elf clan territory, treat it as an invasion and as open war with our elf clan. War between the two races could break out at any moment!” The clan leader warned him solemnly.
…
Back in the Ancestral Heart Realm, at the Wuji Heavenly Palace.
The clone that Lin Yun had condensed sat quietly in the empty square.
The entire palace was so silent that Lin Yun could clearly hear birds calling from the mountains.
The clone simply waited there in stillness.
Lin Yun had left the clone behind to buy some time for the enemy.
After waiting for more than an hour.
The originally calm sky suddenly rippled with intense fluctuations.
The next moment, the allied forces of the six great powers appeared above the Wuji Heavenly Palace.
Hum!
The great protective array of the palace flared to life, enveloping the whole structure.
“They have finally arrived.”
Lin Yun slowly opened his eyes and looked upwards. “I did not expect them to have as many as nine Supremes.”
As expected, the six great powers had more Supremes than the ones they showed publicly.
Lin Yun guessed that these nine were probably all the Supremes the six great powers possessed.
More than he had anticipated.
In the sky.
The nine Supremes from the six great powers, accompanied by over a hundred elite experts, hovered in the air.
“What is going on? Why is the Wuji Heavenly Palace so empty? Was today not supposed to be the Wuji Grand Tournament? Have all the people from the palace fled?”
When these Supremes saw the deserted palace below, their expressions changed.
“Damn it! Our operation was so secretive. They could not possibly have known in advance and evacuated, could they?” the master of the God-Slaying Sect said furiously.
“Look at the square. It is Lin Yun!” the master of the Heavenly Fire Divine Hall pointed down.
The nine Supremes immediately spotted Lin Yun sitting cross-legged in the square.
“This fellow actually dares to stay here alone? If the Wuji Heavenly Palace knew in advance, he should have fled with the others, right?”
“Could there be some trickery?”
Because Lin Yun had used his Wuji Dharma Form to create the clone, and he remained perfectly still, they genuinely failed to realise it was only a clone and assumed it was his true body.
“We have nine Supremes in total. What is there to fear? Given his situation, what tricks could he possibly pull? Charge down. Since he dares to remain here, today is the perfect chance to take his head!” The master of the God-Slaying Sect declared with intense killing intent.
“Good. We will attack together and break the array!”
The nine Supremes acted at once.
Just as they began to assault the array, another wave of intense fluctuations came from the distant sky.
In the square.
“Hm? Why is there another such powerful fluctuation?” Surprise appeared in Lin Yun’s eyes.
The forces of the six great powers were already overhead. Who else could be arriving?
Along with the fluctuations, a resounding voice echoed throughout the Wuji Heavenly Palace.
“Your Wuji Heavenly Palace colludes with foreign races and disrupts our human race. The Dao Alliance, in order to uphold order and justice for the human race, has come specifically to punish your Wuji Heavenly Palace!”
Hearing these words, Lin Yun’s heart jolted violently.
