「Ancient Times.」

As the head of the Dragon Clan, the power of the Ancestor Dragon was beyond question.

But it sealed away a treasure.

It is evident that this artifact must have an astonishing origin, so much so that even the Ancestor Dragon, with its heaven-creating power, seemed unable to control it, thus the need for the seal.

Ye Yun was quite interested in this sealed treasure.

Though his warehouse was nearly limitless with all sorts of treasures, compared to them, the treasure sealed by the Ancestor Dragon was nothing.

But Ye Yun knew that this artifact might have something to do with the causes of the great war between the two clans in those days.

This was where his interest lay.

However, from ancient times to the present, the timespan was simply too long. Who knows where this artifact had ended up in the Divine Land.

Ye Yun thought that there was no rush for now.

He would eventually head to the Divine Land, and the mysteries would be unraveled one by one.

The contest between him and the mastermind behind the scenes was just beginning.

This was a game.

Playing by the game rules would be very interesting.

If he broke the game rules, it would be like having GM authority in an online game from the start. While playing might be thrilling for a moment, it would ultimately become monotonous over time.

Ye Yun shook his head, temporarily discarding many thoughts.

He looked at the cultivators who had been knocked unconscious in the Heavenly Moon Secret Region, including Lei Qinian. With a gentle wave of his hand, all the cultivators were teleported out the moment they awoke.

"I'll leave this Heavenly Moon Secret Region here for now," Ye Yun mused, gazing into the distance. "If I take it away, it might alert the Tianjige."

Then, he vanished from the spot.

As soon as Ye Yun appeared outside, that wisp of Primordial Spirit dissipated.

Jun Moxiao's consciousness retook control of his original body.

"What just happened?" Jun Moxiao scratched his head, looking completely bewildered as he surveyed the surrounding cultivators from various major forces. "Why were we suddenly teleported out after that Black Monkey appeared?"

Ye Yun had altered his memory.

Jun Moxiao's memory now ended at the point where the Black Monkey began questioning him.

「Meanwhile.」

A small part of Lei Qinian's memory had also been erased.

These two youngsters had better not know too much, Ye Yun had decided.

"Junior Brother Jun, I finally found you!"

A ray of light flew over and landed beside Jun Moxiao; it was Lei Qinian.

The Heavenly Treasures Cover hovered above his head, streams of golden light cascading down, protecting both him and Jun Moxiao.

"Brother Lei, how did we all get teleported out?" Jun Moxiao immediately asked upon seeing Lei Qinian.

"That's just how the Heavenly Moon Secret Region is; you never know when you'll suddenly be teleported out," Lei Qinian said with a shrug, lowering his voice. "We were in the Heavenly Moon Secret Region for about a month this time. That's not a short period, so it aligns with the usual timing for being sent out."

"Oh, I see," Jun Moxiao nodded, a look of understanding dawning on his face.

Suddenly, his heart leaped as he remembered something crucial.

He recalled finding the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Heavenly Moon Osmanthus Tree with Lei Qinian on the small island in the lake. After he hung the token on it, a Black Monkey had flown out of the water.

The Black Monkey had only asked him a few questions before he was teleported out.

And as for the reward, the Black Monkey hadn't given him anything!

This filled Jun Moxiao with immense regret; he had no idea if he had successfully completed the task his ancestor had entrusted to him.

"Junior Brother Jun, let's get out of here quickly," Lei Qinian tugged at Jun Moxiao's sleeve and whispered to him via voice transmission. "If the disciples from the three major Sects realize what happened, they'll definitely come after us."

Jun Moxiao quickly nodded.

They had obtained so many Ten Thousand Years Golden Osmanthus Fruits. If the disciples from the three major Sects managed to intercept them, it would be a catastrophic loss.

Among the three major Sects, the Xuanyang Sect was their mortal enemy.

Now that they were out of the Secret Realm, the Xuanyang Sect certainly wouldn't let them go.

The two were preparing to sneak away.

Suddenly, over a thousand cultivators surrounded them from all directions.

These cultivators, all clad in striking red robes, were unmistakably disciples of the Xuanyang Sect.

At this moment, a young man in red robes slowly walked out from the crowd, his hands clasped behind his back, his gaze cold and aloof. He let out a sneer, "You two loose cultivators, still think you can escape? You killed so many of our Xuanyang Sect disciples. Today, we will avenge our fallen brothers!"

His words were highly inflammatory, causing all the Xuanyang Sect disciples' eyes to turn red as their blood boiled with righteous fury.

"Avenge our fellow disciples!"

They all drew their swords, pointing them at Jun Moxiao and Lei Qinian.

Lei Qinian's face turned deathly pale.

There were two to three thousand Xuanyang Sect disciples here.

He and Jun Moxiao definitely couldn't fight them.

This time, they were truly doomed.

"Those two loose cultivators really overestimated themselves!" a black-robed young man remarked, standing on a distant boulder. He was a disciple of the Mo Xue Sect. "Causing trouble in the Heavenly Moon Secret Region with a pack of monkeys, borrowing power they didn't earn. Now that they're out, they've become rats everyone wants to squash."

Behind him stood a large contingent of Mo Xue Sect disciples, their numbers roughly matching those of the Xuanyang Sect.

However, it was none of their business, so the Mo Xue Sect disciples had no intention of intervening in the Xuanyang Sect's affairs. After all, the two insignificant loose cultivators had nothing to do with them.

"Mu Qing, go and bring those two little ones back," Ye Yun said calmly from inside the carriage.

Mu Qing was slightly taken aback.

Bring who back?

The Master's words left her a bit confused.

But the next moment, the Void Force activated, and Mu Qing vanished from the carriage.

When she reappeared, Mu Qing was surprised to find herself high in the air. Below, a large group of Xuanyang Sect disciples had surrounded Jun Moxiao and Lei Qinian.

A huge battle was about to erupt.

Mu Qing's expression changed drastically. This is outrageous!

These Xuanyang Sect disciples actually dared to attack disciples of the Dragon God Sect? They truly have a death wish!

Mu Qing waved her wide sleeve, and an overwhelming surge of mana swept out like a fierce gale towards the cultivators below.

The Xuanyang Sect disciples, not expecting a powerful cultivator at the seventh level of the Destiny Realm to suddenly attack from above, were sent staggering back by the force of the wind. Many fell to the ground, and the scene instantly became one of extreme chaos, leaving them in utter disarray.

Mu Qing, dressed in black, descended gracefully from mid-air.

She clasped her fists and bowed respectfully to Jun Moxiao, saying, "Mu Qing greets Senior Brother Jun!"

Seeing a stunning beauty from the Destiny Realm—and one with such high cultivation—bowing to him, Jun Moxiao's face turned beet red, despite their previous encounters.

"Junior... Junior Sister Mu, please, don't be so courteous," Jun Moxiao stammered, quickly reaching out to help her up.

"..."

This scene, witnessed by every cultivator present, sent a wave of profound shock through them.

Everyone looked on with dazed expressions, completely petrified.

Wasn't this beautiful girl in black, with her unbelievably high cultivation base, the Saintess of the Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird?
