Yan Zaizen had no desire to give his realmship or give away eight hundred thousand heavenly drops. If it wasn't for his perceptiveness, wouldn't he be brought to this Yun Clan and have his realmship taken from him?

It's even possible that Lang Xue and crew would take his Meteor Ring by force. She may not know how much he has, because he kept the storage area for people and his personal wealth vastly distanced, but she knew he had a sub-dimensional ethereal ring.

Who knows what she would've done. Who knows if he would've survived this.

Tao, who originally wanted to help her, felt his body turn numb. Eight hundred thousand heavenly drops. He felt it was impossible. After all, he understood a few things about currency worth.

”Please!” Lang Xue gritted her teeth and begged, ”I promise, I'll pay you back! With this realmship, I would be nearly half done!” She knew it was helpless but she had to try. She understood Yan Zaizen's prowess exceeded hers, and this is why she wanted to deliver him to the Yun Clan.

However, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If she could pay off about forty percent of her debt, then she has a chance! But...if not…

Yan Zaizen had saved her before, for reasons she still didn't know. She felt, from this action, that he was a good person at heart that couldn't stand slavery. If so, perhaps he would be moved by her plight and help her.

Unfortunately, Yan Zaizen was not a saint nor did he see any issue with slavery as a whole. After all, he grew up with servants. His parents had them, he had them, Tao lived in a slave society for god sake! Sure, her situation was most definitely horrendous, but her fate is her fate. Why should he bare such an insane loss for nothing in return?

Even if she offered her body, Yan Zaizen still didn't think it was worth it.

What's his is his.

”Our road together ends here.” Yan Zaizen directly waved for her to leave. He didn't intend to kick her off as before, mainly because he pitied her. No reason to kick her while she's down.

”...Why don't you just leave?” Tao asked. After all, she was in the Deluge Realm. The distance between the two realms was incredible. If he was in her shoes, he would've attempted to escape.

Lang Xue glanced at Tao, her eyes flashed with a mysterious light. ”I can request up to three thousand years of travel time. If I don't return by then, the slave seal will kill me.”

”...I see.” Hearing this, Tao felt helpless. He knew Yan Zaizen had already made his decision, and he wasn't stupid enough to beg him to give her the realmship. After all, they were planning to journey the myriad realms together, without this ship, wouldn't they be subjecting themselves to a much, much harder time traveling?

Yan Zaizen activated the ship's formation and took control of the helm. He was going to travel to the Elysian Realm.

Witnessing this, Lang Xue's gaze turned dim. With a heavy sigh that seemed to contain the world on its shoulder, she moved to leave. Tao only watched in silence.

Riiip!

The spatial void was violently ripped to shreds. A few hundred meters away from them, a slit in space appeared. Yan Zaizen furrowed his brows, glancing at Lang Xue with cold eyes. However, Lang Xue was shocked.

She truly was!

Despite her words, she didn't intend to sell Yan Zaizen out. She had her own pride, after all. Yan Zaizen had saved her life, twice. When she mentioned that she owed him, she wasn't kidding. Of course, that just meant ensuring his survival. She still intended to send the realmship to the Yun Clan.

Observing her shocked expression, Yan Zaizen's brows nearly connected.

From the spatial void slit, several figures appeared. To be exact, seven men appeared. The one at the lead was a handsome young man with black hair and bright eyes that seemed to contain the sky. He was dressed in a grey outfit with the 'Yun' character embroidered onto his right chest.

The character seemed to contain an aura of towering immensity that seemed to cause the space to quiver.

The young man had an indifferent smile as he exited, his gaze honed onto Yan Zaizen's body with profoundly unfathomable intent. The others in his group had gazes of varying levels of intrigue and disdain. This caused Yan Zaizen, Tao, and especially Lang Xue to feel even more confused.

”The token!” Pinaka exclaimed. Yan Zaizen's eyes flickered, his soul form immediately projecting itself into the Meteor Ring. The 'Xiuhei - Heaven' token was emitting faint light. It seemed to be heavy, strong, and ancient. Yan Zaizen could sense a trace of spatial energy within, but this energy was far too different from law-based energy.

It was like a combination of spatial and soul energy. It felt hazy yet alive! Yan Zaizen was shocked. How come he didn't notice this before?

Lang Xue saw the young man and her body quivered, ”Yun Baili!” Her words were low and deep. Her body and soul trembled. Those white eyes that seemed to contain endless snow were currently suffused with intense fear that originated from the depth of her soul. The soul mark within it shook slightly.

The young man's gaze shifted to Lang Xue, then to the Realmship, and then back to Yan Zaizen. He only replied with a soft, ”Oh.” That word alone made it seem as if he had just understood the world's secrets.

A middle-aged man behind Yun Baili, with a cultivation base at the third-floor Heavenly Genesis Realm, coldly laughed. ”Lang Xue, when I heard you were back, I never believed you would come back with a realmship. You must've fooled this idiot, huh?” His words contained deep mockery and disdain.

Biting her lips, she didn't respond. She didn't dare to.

”No worries. The realmship will be gifted to us along with the token.” Another man, this one was younger looking and more feminine, said casually.

Yan Zaizen's expression turned frosty, containing dark, hellish killing intent. Those who believe they could take ANYTHING of his must first piss on the ground and look at their reflection through it. Then, consider: Were they worthy?!

Tao retained his silence. However, his eyes also contained a deep murderous intent.

”Give us the token.” A burly man demanded. He had bronze skin, muscles that seemed even larger and thicker than Yan Zaizen's, black bushy eyebrows, and a vital aura that seemed, even at rest, as if it could crush planets.

Yan Zaizen was just about to take a step forward when Lang Xue immediately sent a soul transmission, ”Don't fight them! The leader of that group is Yun Baili, he's Yun Xuli's older brother. He may not be as talented as Yun Xuli, but he's extraordinary!”

Yan Zaizen halted slightly, giving this young man who had said only a single word since he arrived a look. His heavenly aura was concealed, but Yan Zaizen's spiritual sense could still sense an estimation. A fourth-level Heavenly Genesis expert. The other experts had varying cultivation bases but he felt they were all at least in the second or third level.

”Hm?” Yun Baili slightly smiled, looking towards his left. Space rippled slightly at that area and seemed to be chaotic. He raised his hand towards the area and softly clenched. The space around the ripples was immediately surrounded by an awe-inspiring heavenly might that seemed to constrict the world. The spatial ripples fluctuations weakened considerably but still remained.

Obviously, whoever tried to arrive was impeded by Yun Baili. He raised his other hand, with his index finger and forefinger extended, he pointed towards Yan Zaizen. He didn't even turn his head.

”Understood!” The bronze, burly man shouted with vigor. He kicked off empty space, his vital energy towered towards the heavens, and with an open palm, he slapped forward.

This palm sent out a manifested palm comprised of vital energy that exceeded even the realmship in size. Yan Zaizen was just about to take a step towards the palm, but he was immediately grabbed by Lang Xue. She was trembling, her gaze filled with fear and pleading. She begged, ”Run!”
