"Thinking of escaping? That won’t be easy."

Ye Yun sneered. In the depths of his demonic eyes, countless tiny runes, like stars, shifted rapidly. Suddenly, seven Purple Runes shot out, flying furiously.

The seven Purple Runes, as tiny as grains of rice, transformed into seven rays of Purple Light, landing above the golden Dragon Nests.

HUM!

The seven Purple Runes trembled lightly, emitting halo after halo of purple light, instantly severing the silver pillars of light that surged skyward.

The purple halos continued to descend, forcefully suppressing those pillars of light back into the pool.

GURGLE...

The pool water churned, the Seven-star formation at its bottom seemingly unwilling to be suppressed.

The Nether Blood Green Wooden Dragon was gobsmacked. The Purple Runes that flew from Master’s eyes were truly profound.

As soon as they appeared, they instantly suppressed all the pillars of light.

"Master, are these pillars of light... intending to teleport the Dragon Eggs away?"

Seeming to have thought of something, the Nether Blood Green Wooden Dragon asked doubtfully.

"Precisely," Ye Yun nodded.

He was beginning to understand the Seven-star formation behind the Dragon-rearing Puppet now.

Ye Yun discovered this in time and decisively severed the pillars of light for teleportation.

At the same time, he suppressed the Seven-star formation as well.

WHOOSH!

Ye Yun swung his large hand, and all seven colossal golden Dragon Nests were collected by him.

The seven Purple Runes hovering mid-air continuously descended towards the churning pool water, finally being forcefully pressed into the water and landing on seven points of light.

Consequently, the Seven-star formation ceased its struggle, and the pool water regained its initial tranquility.

The Seven-star formation was thoroughly suppressed.

Ye Yun reached out again, plucking the Seven-star formation out.

He saw that each of the seven points of light had a tiny Purple Rune attached to it. The runes emitted a Purple Light, fiercely suppressing each point.

At this moment, Ye Yun’s pupils contracted slightly, and he retrieved the seven minuscule Purple Runes.

The Seven-star formation was now quiescent.

Ye Yun nodded slightly. With the Dragon Nests and Dragon Eggs gone from the pool, the Seven-star formation entered a dormant state.

Ye Yun scanned the surroundings. Finding no more valuable clues, he nodded and said, "Let’s go."

"Yes, Master."

The Nether Blood Green Wooden Dragon readily agreed. Tailing Ye Yun, they quickly exited the Bronze Palace.

Once outside the Bronze Palace, Ye Yun turned around and produced a green Bead.

With a fierce swipe of his large hand in the air, amidst a RUMBLE, he lifted the Bronze Palace and tossed it into the world within the green Bead.

SWISH!

Ye Yun flicked his finger, and the nearby Teleportation Array promptly crumbled.

He looked around once again, activated the Sky Exterminating Phantom Eye, and obliterated all traces of Super Divine Dragon Breath here.

After that, he tore through space and reappeared in the jungle of the valley. Having destroyed that Teleportation Array, he then departed from this place with the Nether Blood Green Wooden Dragon.

「Ten million miles away.」

The void fluctuated, and two figures emerged from within.

"Master, where do we go next?" the Nether Blood Green Wooden Dragon asked.

With a wave of his hand, Ye Yun produced a Peach Wood Sword. He stroked it lightly, lost in deep thought.

"Master, isn’t the Jianyun Sect holding a Grand Heaven-Worshipping Ceremony? All the major and minor factions from the Daluo Region will be there. Why don’t we go join the excitement?" the Nether Blood Green Wooden Dragon suggested with a good-natured laugh.

"You’ve reminded me of something important," Ye Yun’s eyes lit up with a hint of approval as he smiled and said.

The Nether Blood Green Wooden Dragon’s words, however, gave Ye Yun a sense of sudden enlightenment.

「...」

Ye Yun cast aside the distracting thoughts. After flying for some time with the Nether Blood Green Wooden Dragon, he encountered a True God Realm cultivator. Upon inquiring about the Jianyun Sect’s location, he changed direction and flew towards it.

Their current position was 300,000 miles from the Jianyun Sect, which wasn’t too far.

Ye Yun didn’t tear through the void. Instead, accompanied by the Nether Blood Green Wooden Dragon, he leisurely traveled, admiring the landscapes and experiencing the local customs and culture of the Divine Land as they slowly flew towards the Jianyun Sect.

They only needed to arrive a day before it began, so they had two days to spend freely on their journey.

「...」

「Behind the mountains of the Jianyun Sect.」

In a bamboo-built pavilion, a young, beautiful woman in red sat quietly by the window. She held a small Silver Sword, continuously carving a piece of peachwood.

The woman’s skin was fairer than snow, her beauty unparalleled, her face exquisite beyond compare, making it impossible to look at her directly.

Her pair of jade-like hands moved constantly. As wood shavings fell, the piece of peachwood in her hand gradually transformed into a lifelike doll.

The doll resembled a man.

"I’ve carved another one..."

Looking at the doll in her hand, her lovely brows furrowed slightly, and a faint sadness clouded her delicate face.

Her slender jade-like hand, clutching the Silver Knife, hesitated over the doll’s face for a moment, but ultimately, she did not bring the knife down.

This Peachwood doll remained faceless.

The woman in red took a deep breath, her expression calming considerably. She stood up, walked over to a row of shelves behind her, and placed the Peachwood doll upon it.

The shelves were piled high with rows of Peachwood dolls.

All the Peachwood dolls were identical in style and form.

Among these many Peachwood dolls, not a single one had a face.

"Master, may I come in?" a slender figure in white stood outside the bamboo pavilion, asking softly.

The beautiful woman in red nodded gently. "Come in..." She turned, walked to the nearby window, and gazed at the azure sky.

The bamboo door was pushed open, and a woman in white entered.

When she saw the increased number of Peachwood dolls on the shelf, she was deeply shaken.
