Do You Want to Run?

"That would be really bad," Lin Yunji smile.

As he said this, Lin Yunji sighed.

"I understand. I will release Taixuan and Xiangci."

"Oh, right, I have one more question."

Lin Yunji seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but say it.

"Ask away," said the Ice-Cold Supreme Venerable.

"Why are you hiding these things from us?" Lin Yunji asked.

This was the thing that puzzled him the most.

He now understood what the so-called Great Calamity of the Ancient Realm meant.

It was probably the work of invaders from another universe back then.

If that's the case, why don't Ice-Cold Supreme Venerable and Immortal Venerable Xiangci Xiang Ci tell the truth instead of keeping it a secret from everyone in the Source Realm?

The Ice-Cold Supreme Venerable remained silent in response to this question.

After a long silence, she finally spoke.

"I'm not hiding anything, it's just... no one has ever asked me about it."

Lin Yunji was stunned.

The tone of the Ice-Cold Supreme Venerable was as if she were an innocent little girl.

What the hell am I asking you?!

You stay in the Great Cold Domain all day long; no one can get in!

Even if someone could get in, they wouldn't see you at all!

Even if some tough person could actually get to you, they wouldn't have the strength to speak! You're just a shut-in, aren't you?!

Lin Yunji internally ranting and raving.

"It's not my fault..."

Whether or not he could see into Lin Yunji's mind, the resentful voice of the Ice-Cold Supreme Venerable rang out.

"It's not your fault, it's not your fault," Lin Yunji said with a smile.

However, in his heart, he was even more furious.

Amidst Lin Yunji's frantic rants, the Ice-Cold Supreme Venerable finally fell silent.

Clearly, she cut off contact.

After the Ice-Cold Supreme Venerable severed contact, Lin Yunji pondered for a moment, then plucked three leaves from the Heaven-Reaching Jianmu.

"Go!" Lin Yunji his hand, and the three leaves instantly transformed into three beams of light, heading in three different directions.

These three directions are precisely where the Daoist temples of Shi Mang, Great Venerable Tianhuang, and Supreme Xichen are located.

Lin Yunji was sending them a message, inviting them to come and discuss matters.

After receiving Lin Yunji's message, the three Venerable Shi Mang quickly arrived one after another.

After the three of them arrived, Lin Yunji repeated what Ice-Cold Supreme Venerable had said to them earlier.

The three of them were completely stunned after hearing this.

It took a long time for the three to come to their senses, and their expressions became increasingly solemn.

If this is true, then it's truly an incredible matter!

The Great Venerable Tianhuang couldn't help but say.

"Another universe! The great calamity that destroyed the Ancient Realm back then was actually caused by people from another universe?! Surely Ice-Cold Supreme Venerable wouldn't be lying?!" Supreme Xichen said with some doubt.

"It's probably true. Otherwise, if Taixuan had caused such a ruckus in the Source Realm Source Realm, those old monsters there wouldn't have turned a blind eye," Shi Mang said.

After he finished speaking, everyone fell silent again.

"According to the Ice-Cold Supreme Venerable, our Primordial Expanse Universe is probably no match for those powerful enemies from other universes?" said Supreme Xichen.

"That's what I mean." Lin Yunji nodded.

"This is terrible! Absolutely terrible," said the Great Venerable Huangtian with a wry smile.

"Now I understand where those five Origin Venerable went back then," Shi Mang said with a sigh.

"If even the Divine Ability of the five Origin Venerable cannot withstand the powerful enemy from another universe, what use would it be to send us to provide support?" said Supreme Xichen.

"I don't know." Lin Yunji shook his head.

"Fellow Lin Yunji, this news is truly like a bolt from the blue that has struck us," said the Great Venerable Huangtian with a wry smile.

Lin Yunji shrugged helplessly.

"So now, Taixuan and Xiangci, will you release them?"

Lin Yunji asked.

"Release it," said the Great Venerable Huangtian helplessly.

"Hmm." Shi Mang nodded.

"We have no choice but to release them," Supreme Xichen said with a bitter smile.

"Alright, since you all say you're going to release him, then I will," Lin Yunji said.

He then summoned the Primordial Expanse Glazed Pagoda, and with a thought, released the primordial spirits of Xiangci and Taixuan.

When Xiangci and Taixuan were suddenly released, they were both a little dumbfounded, not expecting things to take such an unexpected turn.

"Ice-Cold Supreme Venerable begged me to spare your lives, so get out of here!" Lin Yunji said rudely.

"You...!" Taixuan and Xiangci both turned extremely pale on the spot.

"Our most precious treasure!" Xiang Ci said Xiangci gritted teeth.

The Great Venerable Tianhuang and the others exchanged a glance.

In the end, they all threw out the treasures they had previously seized from Taixuan and Xiangci.

Lin Yunji was the same. Of course, some of his items were already in fragments.

"The landscape remains unchanged, the waters flow on forever. Farewell!"

Having retrieved their Primordial Expanse Supreme Treasure, neither of them said anything more.

They simply bowed to Lin Yunji and the others, then the two spirits turned and vanished in a flash of light.

"Letting them go like this, I wonder if they'll come back for revenge?" Supreme Xichen sighed.

I gave them only one chance.

"If they come back for revenge, then next time, even if the Emperor Laozi comes begging for mercy, I'll still kill them without hesitation," Lin Yunji said resolutely.

"Hmm." Great Venerable Tianhuang and the others all nodded.

He then added, "There's nothing we can do about letting Xiang Ci and Taixuan Xiangci."

However, I think we need to discuss the matter of the other universe further.

"What do you mean?" Lin Yunji asked.

"What are our plans for the future?" the Great Venerable Tianhuang asked silently.

"There are only two paths: fight, or flee," Lin Yunji said.

"If we fight, what are our chances of winning? If we flee, where can we flee to?" Supreme Xichen pressed.

"I don't know what the odds are."

However, we've been through thick and thin together.

I won't lie to you, judging from the Ice-Cold Supreme Venerable's expression, the situation at Primordial Expanse Ancient City is probably somewhat critical, but it's definitely not a matter of life and death.

Otherwise, the Ice-Cold Supreme Venerable wouldn't still be staying in the Great Cold Domain.

"With her cultivation level, she should have gone to Primordial Expanse Ancient City long ago," Lin Yunji said.

"As for escaping, the alien universe is an attack from the entire universe. If we lose,..."

The best outcome is that we become each other's vassals.

If the other side is ruthless, they will most likely want to wipe out and destroy the civilization of our universe.

As for us, most of us will either be reduced to ashes or become slaves.

"If you want to escape, the only way is to flee to those desolate and empty places in the Primordial Expanse Universe, and from then on, hide in the void."

"It's like a rat, hiding in the corner of a chair, barely surviving!" said the Great Venerable Tianhuang.

"That's about it," Lin Yunji said. "But it's not like there's no way we can survive."
