Dong!
An ancient bell rang out through the mountains. Yun Zimo, sitting alone atop a peak, opened his eyes. When he rose and looked back, Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin had already been waiting for some time.
"Let's go..."
No more needed to be said. The three of them rose into the air as well and landed on the armored backs of the snow-white Unicorns the Ancient Clan had prepared in advance.
Swish!
A Unicorn drifted past. Xiao Yan and Xun Er, standing with their hands behind their backs on its armored back, waved to Yun Zimo and the others.
Yun Zimo and the others smiled, and the Unicorn beneath them spread its wings and chased after them.
After crossing the mountain peaks, the Unicorn gave a long neigh. In mere moments, it had carried them between the palace halls and onto the ancient Altar Square.
A hundred-zhang Sacrificial Altar stood in the center of the square, ancient and solemn, filled with an endless aura of majesty.
Everyone leapt down. Under gazes filled with either awe or envy, they landed at the edge of the square guarded by the Black Armor Guards.
"Hm?"
Yun Zimo's steps suddenly paused slightly. Xiao Yan and the others followed Yun Zimo's gaze and saw a tall, straight-backed Black Armor Guard standing expressionlessly on guard around the square.
"Ling Quan?"
Looking at that rather familiar face, Xiao Yan raised his brows slightly and softly stated the man's identity.
"The Ling clan contributed all the merit points they had accumulated and gave up all their seats in the Elder Seat. Only then was Ling Quan spared the punishment of being demoted to a branch line. He was merely demoted into the Black Armor Guards of the Black Annihilation Army. He can be promoted for merit
