Beneath the fullness of the fifteenth moon, Jiang Huai Zhen and his group fled at breakneck speed.

From a distance, Jiang Huai Zhen could naturally see the anomaly in the sky, given that he had already witnessed it once before. If they failed to escape to a safe distance before the portal opened, it was likely that Jiang Huai Zhen and his group would remain here today.

"Burn the essence blood again."

Far away, the moonlight converged into a silvery-white screen once more. Jiang Huai Zhen, seeing this, gritted his teeth and issued the command.

After speaking, his face grew even paler, but his speed surged dramatically. He was the first to burn his essence blood.

The other three, likewise, silently activated their secret techniques and burned their essence blood again, keeping up with Jiang Huai Zhen's pace.

With their greatly increased speed, they covered a distance of dozens of miles in a short time, running out of the range of a Divinity Realm warrior's Divine Thought scans.

But this wasn't enough, for the warriors of the Divinity Realm were not stationary radars; if Jiang Huai Zhen and his men could run dozens of miles in a short time, the flying warriors of the Divinity Realm would be even faster.

Therefore...

Jiang Huai Zhen and his men changed course and arrived outside a cave.

"We're safe now." Seeing the cave, Jiang Huai Zhen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, clutching Ling Yanshui and leading his three subordinates into the interior of the cave.

Buried inside this cave was an Array Plate given to Jiang Huai Zhen by the Patriarch. Within the range of this Array Plate, even the Divine Thought of the Divinity Realm could not detect the whereabouts of Jiang Huai Zhen and his group.

However, while Divine Thought failed to capture their trail, a certain individual who had been following them closely had their movements clearly in sight.

'As I thought, they were well-prepared.'

Outside the cave, a figure gradually emerged from thin air.

Qing Yu's eyes, operating the Heavenly Son's Qi Observation Skill, slowly analyzed the Array Formation, 'Linking to the Mountain and River Qi, merging the interior with the mountain range's aura to block Divine Thought. But one could still see the cave entrance with the naked eye. So that's why they ran to this place dozens of miles away?'

If they were closer, it would be easy for the people of Guanghan Immortal Palace to scatter and quickly find a cave as warriors. But in this territory dozens of miles away, it was more challenging.

The further out one went, the greater the search range became. The search area didn't increase linearly but geometrically.

After closely inspecting for a while, Qing Yu confirmed that the Array Plate had no offensive capabilities and could only block Divine Thought, so he leisurely entered it.

"Hum—"

Amidst the faint humming sound, Yue Zhaohua, the current Palace Master of Guanghan Palace, appeared from the column of light and swiftly flew ten miles away.

For a warrior of the Divinity Realm, a distance of an entire ten miles was but a few breaths away.

Yue Zhaohua, like a Moon Palace Fairy, slowly landed from the sky, instantly providing a pillar of strength for several crying disciples of Guanghan Immortal Palace.

"Greetings to the Palace Master." The disciples hurriedly came over to pay their respects.

"Be at peace."

Yue Zhaohua's voice carried an odd power of tranquility. Hearing her words, the disciples' panic-stricken hearts gradually steadied, and their faces lost the earlier confusion and fear.

'Sigh.' Watching them shift from panic to full-hearted tranquility, Yue Zhaohua couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Their mental state was too weak. Whether it was the fear after facing a crisis or the tranquility they now felt, it all showed that these disciples were flowers sheltered in a greenhouse. Though they were warriors of the Innate Realm, their mental state was far from those who had experienced the Postnatal Realm through trials and tribulations in the worldly society.

Mental State was all too easily swayed.

Should they encounter a master skilled in Spirit Secret Techniques, that person wouldn't even need to move a finger to make these greenhouse flowers commit suicide.

And it was precisely because pot plants could not grow into warriors that Guanghan Immortal Palace had the custom of sending disciples out of the palace every ten years for training, to temper the disciples' mental fortitude.

However, this time the training outside the palace had encountered a significant setback right from the outset.

Yue Zhaohua glanced at the body cleaved in two by the Sword Gang, its flesh charred to blackness, and a cold light flashed in her eyes. Such ruthlessness indicated a complete disregard for the Guanghan Immortal Palace.

"Palace Master..." Bai Yun, who had just been resting, struggled to get up.

"Your injuries are severe, there's no need for formalities."

Yue Zhaohua's hand gently lifted, and a stream of pure and harmonious True Qi pressed Bai Yun gently to the ground, followed by transferring the True Qi into Bai Yun's body, helping to expel the Blade Energy.

The "Fierce Tao Military Destruction Technique" from the Jiang Family was dangerously brutal. Bai Yun had sustained four slashes, and though the power of these slashes had been greatly reduced by "Moonlight Over Nine Provinces," the resulting injuries were still not light.

However, this was not a difficult problem for Yue Zhaohua.

No matter how dangerous the "Fierce Tao Military Destruction Technique" was, it could not flaunt its brutality in front of a Divinity Realm warrior.

Within a few breaths, the four slashes on Bai Yun's body faintly glowed red, then four beams of Blade Energy burst forth.

"Hmph!"

Yue Zhaohua snorted coldly, grabbed with her hand, and captured the four beams of Blade Energy in her grasp, gently crushing them.

"Thank you, Palace Master!" Bai Yun, relieved from the Blade Energy's torment, felt much better and voiced her thanks.

"Please, Palace Master, rescue the Young Palace Master," suddenly, one of the female disciples standing aside spoke.

Ling Yanshui's actions in covering their retreat had deeply moved everyone, but in the earlier panic, they had forgotten that the Young Palace Master had been taken away. Now that they had calmed down, someone remembered the Young Palace Master's safety.

"Ye Yun, do not speak out of turn. The Palace Master will surely rescue the Young Palace Master," Bai Yun quickly said.

These young disciples did not realize what a Divinity Realm warrior could do; seeing how calmly the Palace Master healed her, they even thought the Palace Master did not want to save the Young Palace Master.

Moreover, thinking that was bad enough, but to express it so bluntly truly showed how spoiled and foolish they had become from living so long in the palace.

Bai Yun sighed with a touch of weariness at the thought.

"It's alright," Yue Zhaohua gently stretched out her hand to press down on Bai Yun, who was trying to get up to plead for the tactless disciple.

"Ling Yanshui is a disciple of this palace, of course, I will go rescue her."

Yue Zhaohua suddenly leaped into the sky, her Divine Thought spreading out with the force of toppling mountains and overturning seas, covering a radius of twenty li within her divine sense.

With such a probe, Yun Wuyue, who was on a mountain peak twenty li away, naturally exposed her whereabouts.

Yue Zhaohua turned her head slightly, looking towards the cold and moon-like woman on the mountaintop.

Her gaze seemed to penetrate space. Despite the vast distance between them, Yun Wuyue felt as if those eyes were right in front of her.

Being directly gazed at by Yue Zhaohua, Yun Wuyue did not show the slightest hint of panic. She had not tried to hide at all; she had been staying there ever since Qing Yu had left. Therefore, being discovered was to be expected.

She simply gazed at the distant figure hovering in the air and slowly performed an etiquette.

Then, Yue Zhaohua withdrew her gaze, her Divine Thought expanded again, searching for a more distant location. Meanwhile, Yue Zhaohua continued to move, searching back and forth.
