Shi Xuan glanced at Long Qingxuan, who was hiding in the void, and nodded slightly. Both of them followed Ying Fei, disappearing into the vastness."Cough!" The Jade Emperor coughed up more blood as he rose from the ground.
He looked at the devastation with a hint of solemnity. The appearance of the Shadow Scepter had caught him completely off guard. Fortunately, he had prepared for this possibility.
At that moment, Chun Yue emerged from the void and surveyed the debris. "As expected. The Shadow God's Shadow Artifact is indeed in their hands," she said calmly.
What Ying Fei didn't know was that the Heavenly Court she had just destroyed was a decoy. Chun Yue had devised this plan to prevent a catastrophe.
"Shi Xuan is not a fool," the Jade Emperor said while channeling his power to suppress his wounds. He was certain Shi Xuan was aware of the deception. The reason for his silence was likely to avoid further unnecessary effort.
Chun Yue was genuinely surprised to hear this. Although she had inherited the Withered Willow God's legacy, her knowledge was limited, especially regarding figures from the Primordial Era like Shi Xuan.
"I'm curious," she spoke up. "Why did he abandon his surname?"
It was common knowledge that dragons were prideful creatures.
The Jade Emperor paused for a moment and replied, "He changed because he no longer has ties to the Dragon God Clan. He is now like a stone[1], devoid of emotion."
"Oh," Chun Yue nodded slowly.
The Jade Emperor looked at her and asked, "What's next, Lady Chun? Ying Xue will discover the truth sooner or later."
"Send someone to the Western Region. Find out where Shi Xuan went last time," Chun Yue instructed, turning and walking away as she finished her sentence.
The Jade Emperor briefly glanced at the remains of the participants and left the scene, holding no sympathy for their misfortune. They were nothing but pawns to begin with.
Meanwhile, Shi Xuan and Long Qingxuan followed Ying Fei to a barren star somewhere in the Nine Heavens Realm, where Ying Xue currently resided.
"My Queen," Ying Fei bowed deeply as soon as she arrived before Ying Xue.
Ying Xue ignored her and addressed Shi Xuan directly. "Am I that untrustworthy?" she asked.
Shi Xuan chuckled. "You're not your master. Your words mean nothing to me. I don't know why the Shadow God chose you as her disciple."
Long Qingxuan was stunned. Shi Xuan's words revealed two hidden truths: the Shadow God was a woman, and Ying Xue was her disciple!
Ying Xue didn't respond, instead turning to Ying Fei and saying calmly, "You've disappointed me."
Ying Fei was startled and hurriedly knelt. "Please punish me, My Queen."
Her mind raced, trying to figure out her mistake.
"The Heavenly Court you destroyed was a decoy," Ying Xue revealed, her voice chilling despite her indifferent expression.
Ying Fei trembled in shock, pressing her head to the ground. "Thank you for taking care of me over the years, My Queen," she said loudly. "Please take care of my sisters."
Immediately, Ying Fei's aura surged and grew chaotic as she attempted to end her life.
A moment later, blood flowed from her mouth, and her body and breath fell completely still.
Long Qingxuan's heart sank at this scene. Ying Fei was the God Ascension Realm cultivator, yet she chose to end her life in this way. Moreover, Ying Xue made no move to stop her… How cold her heart was?
Ying Xue remained calm, as if nothing had happened. She was clearly accustomed to such scenes.
She looked at Shi Xuan and said, "Although it failed, I will fulfill the deal. However, you must find your own way to escape."
"No problem," Shi Xuan responded calmly.
Ying Xue formed a series of complicated hand seals, and a shadow portal emerged behind her.
Glancing at the portal, Shi Xuan could feel the ancient draconic aura unique to the Dragon Ancestral Land.
"You have two hours before the Dragon Ancestors notice," Ying Xue said calmly. "This is my limit."
Shi Xuan turned to his niece and said, "Are you ready?"
Long Qingxuan held the pendant and took a deep breath. "Let's go."
Shi Xuan said nothing further, walking into the portal with Long Qingxuan.

Two weeks passed in the blink of an eye. Yun Lintian's life on the black ark remained relatively peaceful during this time.
At this moment, Yun Lintian stood on the deck, enjoying the sea of stars as usual. They were already halfway to the Central Region, and he was looking forward to seeing how prosperous the world was.
"Brother Yun," Huang Ba walked over, carrying two jars of wine. "Have some drinks."
Yun Lintian turned and took a jar from him. "Is it always this quiet?" he asked, taking a sip of wine.
The two had grown closer during this period and often talked about the general situation in the Primal Chaos. Yun Lintian had learned a great deal from Huang Ba.
Huang Ba took a mouthful of wine and replied, "No. They took a different route this time... And perhaps because of the big guy here."
"Big guy?" Yun Lintian was curious.
"Venerable Darkness. He's a high-ranking member of this organization," Huang Ba explained briefly.
"I see," Yun Lintian nodded slightly, paying no further attention to the so-called Venerable Darkness. As long as this person didn't interfere with Yun Lintian, he didn't care about what he was doing.
At this moment, Long Jingxia and Gu Bingning walked over, their expressions grim.
The two of them had spoken with Yun Lintian and Huang Ba from time to time during these two weeks, so they could be considered acquaintances.
"Senior Yun, we've discovered that many people have gone missing," Long Jingxia said solemnly.
Yun Lintian's expression remained unchanged as he responded, "What does that have to do with me?"
Long Jingxia opened her mouth, but no words came out. She couldn't understand why Yun Lintian was so indifferent to the evil acts in front of him.
A moment later, she took a deep breath and said, "I'm going."
Yun Lintian took a sip of wine and said nothing, as if her life had nothing to do with him.
"Are you stupid?" Huang Ba chuckled. "You're not their opponent. Why bother?"
Long Jingxia snorted coldly. "At least, I'm not a coward like you."
Huang Ba waved his hand dismissively. "Go. Hurry up and send yourself in."
Long Jingxia turned around and angrily strode towards the cabin...
