“Next, everyone return to your cultivation and make preparations. In ten days, we leave this place,” Lin Yun announced to the crowd.
“Understood!”
Everyone responded in unison, then dispersed with renewed vigour.
…
Ten days later.
The Sixth Prince arrived at the castle with three Pinnacle Realm experts.
In the castle’s reception hall.
“Lin Yun, let me introduce you. This is Xiang Shi, a Pinnacle Realm expert of our Elf Clan. He is also a trusted confidant of my father. He will lead the other two Pinnacle Realm experts to station permanently at your Wuji Heavenly Palace,” the Sixth Prince introduced to Lin Yun.
“Xiang Shi, greetings,” Lin Yun said with a smile, cupping his fists towards him.
“Prince Consort Lin Yun, the Clan Leader has instructed that while I am in the Ancestral Heart Realm, I am at your full disposal. From now on, you are my direct superior,” the elf expert Xiang Shi replied, returning the cupped-fist salute.
“Xiang Shi, and the other two Pinnacle Realm experts, rest assured. While you are with us, you will enjoy the status and treatment of guest elders in Wuji Heavenly Palace. Whatever you need, Wuji Heavenly Palace will never shortchange you,” Lin Yun assured the three elf experts.
“Then we thank Prince Consort Lin Yun in advance,” the three replied gratefully.
The Sixth Prince said, “Lin Yun, besides these three Pinnacle Realm experts stationed permanently at Wuji Heavenly Palace, the Pinnacle Realm experts our Elf Clan originally deployed at the border will remain in full strength. If anything arises, they can provide support in a short time.”
“Sixth Prince, thank you truly, and thank the Clan Leader as well,” Lin Yun expressed his gratitude.
“Lin Yun, there is no need for formality. My father supports you wholeheartedly in the hope that you can establish a firm foothold among the human race, and perhaps even unify it one day, bringing true peace to the ancestral land,” the Sixth Prince said.
Lin Yun nodded.
Then, with excitement in his expression, Lin Yun turned and gave orders. “Zou Dongsheng, go notify everyone to assemble. We depart immediately for the Ancestral Heart Realm!”
“Yes, Palace Master. Right away.”
Zou Dongsheng replied with equal excitement, then hurried off.
About ten minutes later, all members of Wuji Heavenly Palace gathered in the castle square. Under Lin Yun’s leadership, they set off towards the Ancestral Heart Realm.
The Sixth Prince personally escorted them.
Three months later.
Lin Yun led the group back into the Ancestral Heart Realm.
Because Lin Yun had agreed with Mu Li on a three-month timeline, he had travelled accordingly.
“Ancestral Heart Realm, I, Lin Yun, have returned!”
Gazing at the Ancestral Heart Realm ahead, a sharp glint flashed in Lin Yun’s eyes.
This familiar land, he had finally returned to it.
This time, having returned from the Elf Clan, no one would easily shake Lin Yun again.
This time, Lin Yun would return to the Ancestral Heart Realm as a king, announcing his comeback to the entire human race.
“Wonderful. We are back!”
The members of Wuji Heavenly Palace were equally excited. They had finally returned to this land.
“Lin Yun, I will escort you only this far. If anything comes up or you have any needs, contact me or my father at any time,” the Sixth Prince said.
“Understood,” Lin Yun replied.
After the Sixth Prince departed.
“Lin Yun, where is Mu Li now?” Zi Tong asked.
“I contacted Mu Li half a day ago. We agreed to meet today outside Heart City. We will head to Heart City first,” Lin Yun said.
“Heart City first? Are we not returning directly to Wuji Heavenly Palace to begin reconstruction?” Zi Tong asked curiously.
“Compared to rebuilding Wuji Heavenly Palace, there is something even more important to do right now,” Lin Yun said, his gaze sharpening slightly.
In the next moment, Lin Yun issued the decree. Everyone proceeded at full speed towards Heart City.
…
Outside Heart City.
When Lin Yun led the forces of Wuji Heavenly Palace in a grand procession, arriving dozens of li outside Heart City, Mu Li was already waiting there with four beastmen.
Lin Yun immediately went forward to meet Mu Li.
“Brother Mu Li, sorry to keep you waiting,” Lin Yun said, shaking hands with Mu Li.
“Brother Lin Yun, I only arrived here shortly ago myself.”
Mu Li wore a hearty smile and continued, “Brother Lin Yun, returning to the Ancestral Heart Realm this time, you must feel very stirred, right?”
“A little, yes,” Lin Yun nodded with a smile.
“Brother Lin Yun, this time I have brought four beastman experts comparable to Supremes. They will station permanently at your Wuji Heavenly Palace from now on,” Mu Li introduced to Lin Yun.
“Big Brother Lin Yun,” the four beastman experts all saluted Lin Yun.
“Why are you calling me Big Brother?” Lin Yun showed a slightly embarrassed smile.
