The Wushuang Sect secret realm.
Yun Jin was running around like a headless chicken.
She had to calm the Wushuang Sect disciples while explaining over her communication token that she was perfectly fine.
Even so, Ji Wusi and the others still weren't convinced. They insisted on opening the communication recording so they could see her with their own eyes.
As soon as Lin Ya rushed to the teleportation array, Yun Jin's lively image popped up.
"Master, you didn't come to Wushuang Sect, right? There's really nothing going on here. Yeah, that was just some strange phenomenon, it wasn't aimed at me," Yun Jin explained, twisting the story a little.
Seeing her face was flushed and she looked perfectly fine, Lin Ya finally relaxed and said calmly, "It was just a flash of light, what's there to panic about? Do you think I can't stay calm? Alright, alright, don't bother me with messages when there's nothing wrong, I'm busy drinking."
He shut off the communication and smiled slightly. Humming a little tune, he suddenly remembered something, sprinted off, and carefully picked up the wine gourd he'd dropped, his face full of concern.
This gourd had been left to him by his Master; he couldn't let it get damaged.
Along the way, Liu Li Zhēnzūn also received Yun Jin's image.
"Master, you're outside? You're not coming to Wushuang Sect, right? Nothing's wrong here," Yun Jin said.
Liu Li visibly relaxed, then said warmly, "Don't worry, I just came out to enjoy the scenery."
"Alright, alright, that's good," Yun Jin said helplessly.
Her Masters really were a stubborn bunch. Resigned, she moved on to the next one. Just as she sent the communication, she froze for a moment.
Qing Yun was holding a pile of vials, his eyes red, and she had no idea what he was doing.
"Master… you're not thinking I'm hurt, right? Nothing's wrong, really, I'm fine," Yun Jin said quickly.
Qing Yun paused, scanned her from head to toe, then wore a calm expression. "What are you talking about? I'm just taking these pills out to sun them, afraid they might get damp."
Yun Jin nodded, "I believe you, really, I do."
Qing Yun cleared his throat. "Alright, I'm going to sun the pills. You go handle your business."
Hanging up, a trace of worry still lingered on Qing Yun's face.
Yun Jin tried to downplay the incident, but the attack had definitely been aimed at her. Her strength had simply exceeded the attacker's expectations, letting her withstand it.
That there was a hostile force hiding in Sky City capable of threatening humans was terrifying.
But Yun Jin wouldn't say anything, and Qing Yun couldn't press further. All he could do was focus on increasing his strength and try to refine more pills, just in case.
Finally, Yun Jin sought out Ji Wusi.
Ji Wusi had probably already heard the news from others. He looked calm as ever.
"Xiao Jin, we just parted ways. You already miss your Master?" Ji Wusi asked casually.
Yun Jin was stunned by his shamelessness. If he had a system, she'd at least have to give him some emotional points.
Seeing her expression, Ji Wusi looked very satisfied.
Clearing her throat, Yun Jin spoke seriously. "Master, please contact the heads of the other three Holy Lands. I have something critical regarding human safety that I need to tell you all."
Seeing her suddenly serious, Ji Wusi's expression hardened.
On the surface, he looked relaxed, but he knew the attack from Sky City was no simple matter.
Yun Jin had sought out the four of them for this very reason.
"Keep this secret. Only the four of you can know. Not even Master Qing Yun or the others," Yun Jin instructed.
She had some inkling of the plans of the four Immortal Emperors. Without her appearance, their target would have been the heads of the four Holy Lands.
But she had intervened. Eventually, she would replace the head of Qingxiao Pavilion and control the Earth Ruler.
But for now, the Earth Ruler was held by Lu Shen, so some matters had to be clarified with him.
Yun Jin never exaggerated. If she said it was about human safety, it truly was. Ji Wusi agreed without hesitation.
Soon, the Primordial Soul space opened.
This time, only five people entered.
The four heads of the Holy Lands: Ji Wusi, Sang Fan, Xuan Feng, Lu Shen, and Yun Jin herself.
All five were present. The four heads looked solemnly at Yun Jin, waiting for her to speak.
The demon race had just been wiped out, and they'd hoped for some peaceful days ahead. But the attack from Sky City shattered that illusion.
Sky City was so mysterious that if something went wrong here, its impact could surpass even the demons. This small world was truly a never-ending calamity.
Yun Jin focused on the four, a Yin Yang chain appearing in her hands. She used it, empowered by the Five Elements, to lock their Primordial Souls.
Ji Wusi and the others were puzzled but didn't resist.
Yun Jin used layered chains to protect their souls, then said, "I don't know how much you already know. Listen carefully from the start. In Sky City, four main cities each have a statue, each one an Immortal Emperor from the God Realm. The artifacts of the four Holy Lands come from these Emperors. Deep in the forbidden zones, a demon lord is also suppressed, and he's an Immortal Emperor too. There are five Immortal Emperors guarding Sky City!"
Five Immortal Emperors?
Their faces changed.
Immortal Emperors were the top of the top in the God Realm. This was a small, blocked world, hardly worth five Immortal Emperors coming.
Yun Jin didn't give them time to think. "The four artifacts are compromised. They seem to protect your Luck, but there's a hidden net across the Luck River. Those Emperors controlling it can, with a single thought, absorb the centuries of Luck your lands have collected. Cultivators will be the first to suffer—dantian shattered, meridians broken. Other sects' disciples, mortals, all living beings—they'll all be affected. A catastrophe will strike immediately."
Silence followed.
Even Lu Shen swallowed hard, shocked beyond imagination.
Four Immortal Emperors conspiring against this small world?
Seeming to read Lu Shen's thoughts, Yun Jin said calmly, "Five, not four. The suppressed one might be the most dangerous. No one knows what trump card he's holding. In five years, when Sky City opens again, that's when these Emperors will act."
