Departure II (Xie Lei Eats Eats Eats Alliance Leader)

After leaving Junchen Primordial Lord, Lin Hui returned and once again immersed himself in arduous cultivation.

This time, even he himself didn't expect time to pass so quickly.

As time passed, hundreds of years went by in the blink of an eye.

Nine hundred years have passed since he entered this courtyard.

He still hadn't grasped the concept of tense, but with the plasticity of his organs in various dimensions, he gradually observed multi-dimensional information about all the past changes in the brain nucleus. However, he still couldn't achieve the crucial step of reversing these changes.

What the soul recreates is never the true brain core of the past.

But his time had come, and he had to leave.

For the Thunder King Sect, it's common for the deputy hall masters to go on trips for decades without returning.

He doesn't need to report to anyone.

Only the Xiling Ghost side.

Lin Hui applied for a long-term mission transfer for him. He could still make that decision for a mere material energy level disciple.

After all preparations are complete.

Lin Hui went to see Dinisha again, but she had gone into seclusion to cultivate after returning from her adventures. They were unable to meet.

Finally, holding the long-term mission transfer order obtained from Junchen Primordial Lord, Lin Hui led Xiling Ghost out of the Clear Blood Hall, shuttled back to the Main Base of the Thunder King Sect, and continued outward until they arrived at the public area above the Blacksoil Plain.

Xiling Ghost, sensed something was wrong.

Amidst the vast expanse of dark blue Wind Disaster Energy, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Where are we going?

"Get out," Lin Hui replied. "I'm planning to leave completely. Do you want to come with me?"

Hovering high in the sky, he looked back towards the direction of the Thunder King Sect. At this moment, his divine soul essence vaguely sensed that the entire Thunder King Sect was like a huge black hole, continuously devouring all living things around it.

"Leaving... is that the kind of leaving I understand?" Xiling Ghost, somewhat bewildered.

"Yes. I probably won't be back for a while." Lin Hui nodded. "A trace of your soul is still in the Thunder King Sect. I'm not sure if you can resolve this after you leave with me, but... whatever decision you make, I'm leaving."

Xiling Ghost was bewildered. He floated in place, remaining silent for a long time.

She didn't come here to escape disaster, but ascended directly here; her original world had been completely destroyed by the Wind Disaster.

"Together?" Lin Hui asked again.

Inside this court, neither the schemes of Junchen Primordial Lord and his sister nor the layout of the mysterious Phantom Vine are things he is not qualified to interfere with at present. It would be best to stay away while the court is in session.

"I... can't leave. I have a peculiar feeling that once I leave this place, it will lead to some very bad consequences," Xiling Ghost finally spoke.

"Let's give it a try," Lin Hui said calmly.

In the next instant, he flashed and suddenly a bewildered Thunder King Sect cultivator appeared in his hand.

Lifting the cultivator and grabbing the Xiling Ghost with one hand, he turned and accelerated into the sky.

Sizzle!

As the speed increased, layers of space were torn apart and penetrated.

The whole world, in his eyes, was like an onion that had been peeled, revealing its true core as you looked deeper.

Swish.

The next moment, he suddenly stopped.

Before me was a white wall, as white as mist.

This is the courtroom.

Of all the courtyards, this is the easiest place to leave, and also the only channel for exchanging information with the outside world.

Behind him surged an endless torrent of blue Disaster Energy. Lin Hui released Xiling Ghost and suddenly threw the Thunder King Sect cultivator he had imprisoned out towards the white mist wall. Boom!

In the blink of an eye, just as the cultivator rushed into the white wall, a muffled explosion rang out.

The cultivator exploded into a ball of blood.

"There is indeed a restriction." Lin Hui reached out and touched the Xiling Ghost, his divine soul invading it to quickly examine its soul.

"There's no need for that. From the moment we joined the Thunder King Sect, our fates were already intertwined with it," Xiling Ghost sighed. "Staying here might not be a bad thing. I'll stay here and wait for you to return."

She now understood Lin Hui's hidden meaning, realizing that he hadn't surrendered his soul at all, and therefore was completely unrestrained by the Thunder King Sect.

"I remember you've always been one of my Clear Jade Mountain people." Lin Hui sighed, then reached out and swiftly touched his eyes.

The Illusion Destruction Eye was quietly bestowed upon him.

"Do you believe me?" he asked in a deep voice.

"I've shown you everything, what do you say?" Xiling Ghost laughed.

"Then gouge out your eyes and give them to me."

Stagnant Storm.

Countless white bubbles slowly sank, some bursting and disappearing.

Amidst the Heartless Belt, pale blue Wind Disaster, a point of deep blue light burst forth from one of the bubbles and rose high into the air.

Within the spot of light was a handsome man with long black hair, dressed in a blue-black robe with lightning patterns, and a golden longsword hanging at his waist. As the flight accelerated, his figure rapidly shrank, reverting to his original basic form from nine hundred years ago.

During the flight, he did not leave immediately, but instead turned to look back at where he had come from.

That enormous, deep blue stone wall, with countless bubbles rising and falling within it, was none other than the Stagnant Storm itself.

Lin Hui floated to a stop, then flipped his hand, revealing a small gourd.

This was the storage artifact that Seven Extinctions gave him, and it was inscribed with a magic formula that could point to the old site of the Nine Heavens Gate.

After leaving the courtyard, Lin Hui stared at the courtyard he had come out of. The bubbles slowly sank, much faster than when he entered, and disappeared in no time.

Until the chance to go back was completely lost, and another nine hundred years had passed before one could enter again, a sense of melancholy settled in his heart.

Turning around, he followed the gourd's guidance and flew straight into the distance.

He had only been out for a short while.

In the distance, beyond the Stagnant Storm, lies a small white attic floating amidst the Disaster Energy.

Xima, a powerful member of the Heart Exchange Gate from the Drought Disaster Fusion Faction, and Zhu Li, suddenly opened their eyes from their meditation.

"It's out!! It's the location we located before!" Zhu Li's tone became slightly sinister.

Nine hundred years was not a long time for him; he easily traversed it with just one deep cultivation session.

"Senior Xima, that guy is strange, and he definitely has a backup plan for the Seven Extinctions, so I'll have to trouble you a lot later." Zhu Li looked earnestly at Xima in the distance.

"Let's go, hurry up, lest we be caught by the others lying in wait." Xima's long robe flashed, and he changed into his usual white suit. "Nine hundred years have passed. I wonder what's become of that kid. I'm suddenly a little worried..." Zhu Li was about to set off, but a sense of unease crept into his heart. His premonitions had always been accurate, but this time, just before departure, something felt off.

Logically speaking, with a veteran Fusionist like Senior Xima at the level of Colloidal Dissociation making a move, even if Seven Extinctions himself came, he wouldn't be able to defeat him. "There's nothing to worry about. The higher the realm, the more difficult and time-consuming it becomes. A mortal can go from nothing to breaking through the boundary in a few hundred years, but to reach Colloidal Dissociation in the same amount of time is just a dream," Xima said lazily.

"That's true..." Zhu Li nodded. Even a genius like him took more than a million years to cross the materialization realm. No matter how strong or talented Lin Hui was, he couldn't possibly be that many times stronger than him.

Without further ado, the two flew towards Lin Hui's location.

They had already set up a spell at the location of the bubble; as soon as the bubble appeared and the exit appeared, it would automatically send a message.

The moment they set off, Lin Hui immediately sensed it on the other side.

Having grown accustomed to measuring distances in light-years within the courtyard, he realized that once outside, the two individuals were less than a light-day away. To his current spiritual perception, this was practically as if they were right next to each other.

Seeing the two flying towards him at breakneck speed, constantly battling the surrounding Wind Disaster and hail, he simply stood still and waited.

The two of them exuded a scorching aura of Source Disaster, which clashed with the dense Heartless Belt Wind Disaster Energy around them, causing them to experience tremendous resistance from the Disaster Energy every time they flew for a distance.

"The Endless Divine Clan? Zhu Li?" The moment Lin Hui saw the two, distant memories quickly flooded his mind.

Nine hundred years may not seem like a long time to others, but for him, it was an extremely long period of time.

It could be said that Thunder King Sect spent more time in the court than he did in all the time he Changsheng outside.

Lin Hui's mind raced, recalling everything about Zhu Li.

"Hasn't my feud with the Endless Divine Clan already been settled? What's he doing here?"

In his eyes, his sword strike that destroyed a small number of the Endless Divine Clan was the end of karma.

Why is Zhu Li chasing after him now? And that white-bearded man beside him, his aura is quite good, but his purpose is unclear. Since he saw familiar faces, Lin Hui simply stopped and waited for them to approach.

He originally planned to go directly to the old site of the Nine Heavens Gate, but now that he has met some acquaintances, he can learn about the current situation outside from them.

A short while later.

Within the blue Disaster Energy, two black, scorching bubbles suddenly appeared and stabilized.

Inside the bubble, Zhu Li and Xima gazed at Lin Hui from afar.

"Lin Hui of the Nine Heavens Gate?" Xima transmitted in a deep voice. "You should have guessed why we've come, right? Hand over the secret method for transforming the Source Disaster." "Senior, this is different from what we said before!" Zhu Li's expression changed slightly.

"Shut up, I'll make the decision!" Xima said impatiently.

"But."

"No buts." Xima locked her soul around Zhu Li, her warning clear in her words.

"You've all come for this so-called secret technique?" Lin Hui looked at Xima, discerning who was in charge.

"Of course, be quick about it. Handing it over saves us the trouble of taking action," Xima said calmly. "After waiting for you for nine hundred years, we finally have a result today." "Then, may I ask, what's the situation outside? How are my master and the others doing?" Lin Hui asked earnestly.

"You brat..." Xima was a little worried. Had they waited nine hundred years only to find a mentally challenged idiot with severely impaired cognitive abilities? He glanced at Zhu Li.

"Go and finish this quickly. I'll counter Seven Extinctions's Offset once it appears."

Laugh!

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhu Li swiftly approached, the blade of a golden short sword in his hand highly compressed and condensed into a dark gold substance targeting Lin Hui. This was a tactic he favored for capturing Lin Hui alive: using his highly compressed and condensed Disaster Energy to create a counteracting substance against his opponent, then quickly breaking through their defenses to decide the outcome.

Swish!

In an instant, Zhu Li's figure split into nine, circling around Lin Hui and launching attacks from four directions.

Nine angles, nine knife techniques. Nine methods for targeting the condensation of matter.

This attack must force Lin Hui to reveal his hidden Seven Extinctions Annihilation Techniques.

Without wasting power on a large scale, and not being on his home turf, Zhu Li had no reason to waste his Disaster Energy. What he needed to do was to finish the battle quickly. Therefore...

Filled with hatred.

Filled with anger at the near demise of his own path.

Nine black blades with gold edges suddenly surrounded Lin Hui and slashed down.

This strike perfectly demonstrated the immense power of the nine top-tier sword techniques of the Heart Exchange Gate, instantly increasing his explosive power ninefold. At his level, being able to increase his power ninefold on top of his full strength was already an astonishing feat.

Laugh!

Nine blades sliced through space, flashing past Lin Hui.

Unharmed.

Zhu Li gripped the knife, his nine figures rapidly merging into one, staring blankly at Lin Hui, who was so close to him.

What a disappointment!?

"Sorry, I just came out and haven't gotten used to your rhythm yet." Lin Hui looked down at his body, which had been slashed by the knife, Microflash unconsciously used his skill.

Boom!

In an instant, two terrifying blue Giant Hand, spanning several light-years, emerged from the torrent of Wind Disaster, one above the other, and crashed down, grabbing at Zhu Li and Xima.

Unable to dodge, unable to resist.

A violent tremor followed.

Before Zhu Li and Xima could even react, they were struck by two palms, their bodies spurting blood and exploding into countless black specks of light that vanished without a trace. Lin Hui was left alone, drifting at the edge of the palm, his robes fluttering in the Wind Disaster.

"Did you still hold back too little energy?"

Since the External Source, he hasn't fought with anyone for a very, very long time.

This also meant that he simply used his hands, clasping them together, and accidentally crushed the person.
