In order to prevent Song Zhong from bringing Gu Long to Jin Ling, she had to put in a lot of effort. On one hand, she didn't want any of the Guardians from the Heavenly Dragon Sect to suspect her, and on the other hand, she needed to find a suitable reason to persuade Song Zhong. After delaying for a while and feeling the impatience of those around her, Jin Ling slowly spoke to Song Zhong, "If the Sect Leader were to arrive here, would he blame us for our failure and even demand that we continue the attack on Yuxu Palace?"
Continue attacking Yuxu Palace?
Upon hearing Jin Ling's words, everyone present widened their eyes in shock, including Song Zhong. If it weren't for Jin Ling's reminder, he wouldn't have thought of this possibility. However, if Gu Long really came and did not issue a retreat order, were they truly prepared to face Ye Huan, who was nearly as powerful as Gu Long?
"Yes, I think Jin Ling has a point. Song Zhong, we should just leave here directly!"
After pondering for a moment and before Song Zhong could respond, Mighty Bull, the only one among Heavenly Dragon Sect's Ten Protectors who had witnessed Ye Huan in action, suggested this to Song Zhong. Following his lead, the other Heavenly Dragon Gate Protectors nodded in agreement; it seemed they all wanted to avoid further conflict with Yuxu Palace, which had already killed Ghost Blade.
"Leave? If we go back like this, won't I be doomed? No way, I can't let that happen!"
Knowing he would definitely bear the responsibility for Ghost Blade's death upon returning, Song Zhong still refused to leave at this moment. However, he couldn't express his true thoughts aloud; instead, he hastily found an excuse and said to everyone, "No, I believe we can't just leave like this. Think about it—if we return to Heavenly Dragon Sect without achieving anything, won't the Sect Leader blame us? I suggest we stay outside Yuxu Palace and guard it. If any stragglers appear, we can eliminate them. This way, when we return to Heavenly Dragon Sect, we won't be looked down upon by the Sect Leader."
"That sounds good."
Almost everyone nodded in agreement. While they all wanted to go back, none wished to return to Heavenly Dragon Sect in disgrace. Even Jin Ling fell silent at this point, clearly accepting Song Zhong's decision. This was precisely what Jin Ling hoped for because only if all the Heavenly Dragon Gate Protectors remained outside Yuxu Palace could she and Ye Huan create the illusion that all the Protectors had perished within Yuxu Palace, thus freeing her from the constraints imposed by Heavenly Dragon Sect.
Thus, following Song Zhong's plan, Jin Ling and the others began their long wait outside Yuxu Palace. Meanwhile, inside Yuxu Palace, Jin Ling's collaborator Ye Huan sat leisurely in a room with Elder Sun and others as they awaited Yu Wuxia's awakening.
"Ye Huan, can you explain why Jade Master suffered such severe injuries while you remain unscathed?"
Elder Sun, feeling either bored or suspicious of Ye Huan, cast a worried glance at Yu Wuxia, who lay on the bed, and questioned Ye Huan.
"What, are you hoping I get hurt?"
Ye Huan rolled her eyes at Elder Sun in annoyance. She couldn't be bothered to engage with the old man and stood up, heading towards Bai Yulin's room. However, after taking just a few steps, she suddenly felt that leaving like this would leave a very bad impression. So she stopped, turned around, and said to Elder Sun, "Gu Long is strong—stronger than Elder Yu expected. If you don't believe me, you can ask Elder Yu when he wakes up."
"Ye Huan, wait!"
Noticing Ye Huan's departure, Elder Sun hurriedly called out her name and quickly walked over to her side. Hesitantly, he asked, "Ye Huan, is Gu Long really that strong? What if he takes this opportunity to attack Yuxu Palace with those people outside?"
"Don't worry. While Elder Yu is seriously injured, Gu Long isn't faring any better. Even if he isn't as severely injured as Elder Yu, recovering his combat ability in a short time is absolutely impossible."
Reassuring Elder Sun with her words, Ye Huan waved her hand and turned to leave. This time, Elder Sun did not block her path but stood there deep in thought, his brows furrowed tightly.
As soon as Ye Huan stepped out of Yu Wuxia's room, she saw Yuxiang'er and Zhao Ziyu standing by the door. At that moment, both women harbored a hint of hostility towards each other. Upon seeing Ye Huan emerge, they approached simultaneously and asked in unison, "How is my adoptive father?" and "Is the Sect Master alright?"
"I can't say for sure. Yuxiang'er, you should go in and take a look! Zhao Ziyu, come with me..."
Looking at the two women before her with exasperation, Ye Huan had no choice but to separate them. Even so, upon hearing the latter part of Ye Huan's statement, Yuxiang'er shot her a resentful glance that made Ye Huan feel goosebumps all over. She hurriedly took Zhao Ziyu into Bai Yulin's room.
"Ye Huan, why do you always avoid that woman? Are you really that afraid of her?"
Feeling a slight pain in her wrist from Ye Huan's grip as they entered Bai Yulin's temporary recovery room, Zhao Ziyu looked at Ye Huan with a similarly resentful expression. Ye Huan had to respond, "Afraid of her? Do you really think I'm scared of her? I'm worried about when you two might actually fight; your cultivation level would be at a disadvantage!"
"What's there to be afraid of? I have the treasure my master gave me!"
Unaware of the vast difference between herself and a girl who had grown up in a Cultivator sect, Zhao Ziyu, upon hearing Ye Huan's words, even brought up the treasure her master had given her. However, mentioning Xue Wushuang caused Zhao Ziyu to recall the scene of the Water Moon Palace's destruction, and tears shimmered in her eyes. This startled Ye Huan, who had never heard of Zhao Ziyu having a master. Seeing that Bai Yulin was still unconscious, he took Zhao Ziyu and found a spot for her to sit down in the room, then began to inquire about what had happened.
"It’s like this..."
Zhao Ziyu slowly recounted everything that had happened since leaving the Nine Provinces Continent. Her tears flowed like pearls that had fallen from a broken string, and with her words, Ye Huan became furious. He slammed his hand on the table beside him, producing a loud bang.
