Everyone in the Celestial Cloud Fortress was struck dumb and either knelt down on the ground or left their mouths agape. They looked up dazedly at Fang Xingjian in the sky like they were looking at a legendary miracle.

“Handover Lilia within one minute. Otherwise, die.”

A thunderous sound seethed down, bringing along violent gales which swept through the fortress and sent countless objects flying away. It also caused many people to be unable to open their eyes or find it hard to stand their ground.

The people in the main hall, who had been discussing about Fang Xingjian earlier, dashed out immediately. When they saw the situation before them, their countenances changed drastically.

That upper-class lady put up a front and shouted, “Fang Xingjian! We aren’t the ones who lost Lilia. Are you only capable of bullying our Celestial Cloud Fortress?”

Fang Xingjian glanced at the upper-class lady with a cold gaze, and sword intents swept out, striking into her consciousness. In that instant, she felt as if she had been doused in cold water. It caused her to drop to her knees, unable to say another word.

Another young man shouted, “Sword Overlord, please hear us out. Lilia only accepted our invitation to pay a visit to the Celestial Cloud Fortress. We had no ill intentions at all.

“However, when the Purple Robed Mages saw Lilia, they insisted on taking her in as a disciple and forcefully took her away.”

“Purple Robed Mages?” Fang Xingjian frowned, not expecting that the people from this faction had taken action. Moreover, to think that they had wanted to take Lilia away with them.

Fang Xingjian asked, “Where did they go? Why is it that you have a connection with the Purple Robed Mages?”

The young man quickly explained, “One of our clan heads used to be a Purple Robed Mage. Eventually, he was found to be lacking in talent and came to cultivate in seclusion. Some time ago, a Purple Robed Mage suddenly appeared and said that she had an affinity with Lilia. She then took Lilia away with her.

“We have no idea where she has gone, nor do we know how to contact her.”

‘Have an affinity? Is it Sudden Inspiration?’ Fang Xingjian silently released the fortress and returned to his original appearance. The long black robe he was wearing fluttered like an agile snake, covering half of his body.

Earlier on, he had used his sword intents and Sudden Inspiration to sense Lilia’s location. However, he was still unable to find where she was. He could only follow the intelligence which Zhou Xingwen and the others had obtained to first locate Youji, then he got to this place where Lilia had last been before she disappeared.

At the next moment, with a change in Fang Xingjian’s thoughts, a sword intent swept through the sky and entered the bodies of all the people in the Celestial Cloud Fortress.

“I will believe in your words for now and leave a stream of sword intent behind. If I find out that any of you are trying to hide something from me I’ll annihilate your entire clan.”

Leaving behind these words, Fang Xingjian’s silhouette flashed, and he disappeared completely.

He left behind the people of the Celestial Cloud Fortress, with all of them wearing a mourning expression.

Fang Xingjian broke through the atmospheric layer and bathed in the radiance of the golden sunlight.

‘Even the Sudden Inspiration is unable to sense Lilia’s location. Is it because the Sudden Inspiration from the tenth level of the mystical prints isn’t something obtainable from one’s own cultivation and thus can only sense passively?’

Fang Xingjian’s eyes narrowed. ‘Then I’ll strive for tier four of the Divine level and truly grasp the Sudden Inspiration ability. It’ll allow me to find Lilia as well as provide me with sufficient power to suppress the Empire.’

‘However, according to the records, in order to comprehend the Sudden Inspiration ability, it’s still a necessity to head to the illusory world to strive for the next level of the Nine-Tiered Heavens and comprehend the profoundness of the past and future. But based on the last experience, it’ll probably be another parallel world.

‘It’ll probably take me another half a month or even one month. Before I go, I must remove all threats to avoid any troubles like there were this time around.’
