As Lin Yun’s laughter rang out, the attack that the Dao Alliance Leader had gathered struck Lin Yun’s body in an instant.
Boom.
Lin Yun’s body exploded at once, reduced to ashes.
“Hm?”
“Something’s wrong!”
The Dao Alliance Leader and all the Supremes present changed colour.
They knew Lin Yun’s strength well. Even the God-Slaying Gate Master, a Golden Supreme, had struggled to defeat him.
The Dao Alliance Leader, as a Yuan Supreme, would certainly be able to overcome Lin Yun, but Lin Yun’s physique was far too resilient to be obliterated by a single strike like this.
“That… that wasn’t his true body!” the God-Slaying Gate Master cried out in shock.
Lin Yun’s recent words, “You’ve been tricked,” still echoed in their ears.
In that moment, they realised they had truly fallen for it.
“This bastard actually left a fake body here to toy with us!” Fury blazed across the Dao Alliance Leader’s face.
He had failed to see through it earlier.
He had even sensed Lin Yun’s aura.
He should have realised sooner. Everyone from the Infinite Heavenly Palace had already withdrawn. Why would Lin Yun stay behind alone to await death?
They had been deceived by the Lin Yun they had seen with their own eyes.
“Leader, what do we do now?” the Void Clan Patriarch asked.
“They have only one path left: fleeing to the Elf Clan. We pursue at full speed. We must kill him!” Murderous intent burned in the Dao Alliance Leader’s eyes.
“Move out!”
With those words, the Dao Alliance Leader shot forward first, heading straight for the Elf Clan border.
After a brief hesitation, the other Dao Alliance Supremes quickly followed.
“We go too!”
The nine Supremes from the five great powers all soared into the sky.
“First, destroy this Infinite Heavenly Palace!”
The God-Slaying Gate Master struck first, channeling his inner force and sweeping his hand outward.
Boom!
Torrents of ferocious inner force erupted like a volcano, surging toward the entire Infinite Heavenly Palace.
In the next instant, blazing flames engulfed the whole palace.
“From this day forth, the Infinite Heavenly Palace ceases to exist. Haha!” the God-Slaying Gate Master laughed loudly.
“Go!”
After setting the fire, they raced toward the Elf Clan border.
…
On the other side.
Lin Yun, Zi Tong, and Zou Dongsheng were speeding toward the Elf Clan.
“Phew, they should be chasing toward the Elf Clan by now,” Lin Yun said suddenly.
His clone had just been shattered, and Lin Yun was certain that since they had mobilised so many Supremes for this attack, they would not give up easily. They would definitely pursue.
Moreover, the words his clone had spoken in the Infinite Heavenly Palace square, Lin Yun was unsure how much effect they would have.
He had already made himself clear enough, but he had no concrete evidence to offer.
It was now up to the Supremes of the Dao Alliance whether they believed him.
In Lin Yun’s view, those Supremes were intelligent people. As long as they heard what he had said, they would naturally think it over and seek the truth themselves.
That was enough.
Lin Yun had always believed that not everyone in the Dao Alliance was a lapdog of the Heavenly Dao.
There must be some who had joined because of the alliance’s reputation and sense of duty.
Back when Lin Yun was in the Heavenly Fire Divine Hall, he had even considered that if he could ever leave it, he would certainly join the Dao Alliance.
The reason was simple: the Dao Alliance opposed the six great powers, and it enjoyed an excellent reputation in the Ancestral Land. From what Lin Yun had seen and heard at the time, there had seemed no better choice.
Lin Yun believed there were surely others who had joined the Dao Alliance and its subordinate forces for the same reasons.
“Palace Lord, we have been fleeing from the Infinite Heavenly Palace for nearly two hours. Our palace was already close to the Elf Clan border, so we should reach it before they catch up,” Zou Dongsheng said.
When they had originally chosen the location of the Infinite Heavenly Palace, they had done so precisely because it was near the Elf Clan and Beastman Clan, allowing both advance and retreat.
Just as Zou Dongsheng finished speaking, fluctuations appeared ahead.
“Lin Yun, those are peak realm experts from my Elf Clan. They have come from the border to meet us!” Zi Tong said joyfully.
Ahead.
“It’s the Elf Clan experts!”
“Wonderful! The Elf Clan has come to escort us!”
The members of the Infinite Heavenly Palace saw the arriving Elf Clan experts and all rejoiced.
With Elf Clan experts here to meet them, the tension in their hearts could finally ease considerably.
