"Sir, I now have Blood Sword Manor and the Imperial Astronomical Bureau. What else do you think I'm lacking?"
After leaving the imperial palace, Ye Lin and Chu Yang walked along the street. Chu Yang turned to ask Ye Lin, but the excitement from before had vanished from his face.
It was clear that Chu Yun's words had affected him.
"The Imperial Astronomical Bureau and Blood Sword Manor—judging by the powers in this world, you no longer need to make many preparations."
Ye Lin nodded. In ancient times, one would have needed to consider the influence of every side, but here, only strength mattered. As long as one's strength was great enough to suppress everything, there was no need for excessive concern.
"Sir..."
Before Chu Yang could finish, Ye Lin shoved him aside and threw himself backward. A streak of black light flashed through the void, then vanished.
Staring at the space ahead, Ye Lin narrowed his eyes.
Chu Yang wiped the sweat from his forehead. In that instant, he had felt a fatal threat.
Had Ye Lin not acted, he might already have died beneath that strike.
"Sir, this is..."
"Someone wants to kill you."
Ye Lin spoke calmly. He had just received word that Chu Yang's guardian had been tied down by three Mahayana Half-Immortals and could not get away at all. Hong Batian, too, had been held back by three Mahayana Half-Immortals.
"Looks like those people can no longer hold back. Let's go."
With the two Mahayana Half-Immortals tied down, all they could do now was flee. No one knew what else might be waiting ahead.
Ye Lin grabbed Chu Yang and tore through the void, leaving at once. The instant Ye Lin vanished, three black shadows flashed through the void and followed close behind.
