In the ordinary courtyard, Tianqi Zongwei tilted his head to look at the sky that had turned scarlet. A hint of surprise flashed through his eyes as he muttered. "Heaven's fury?… That's not right. Huoyun Yurou cannot possibly invoke the wrath of heaven. Who could it be?"

Tianqi Zongwei was one of the longest-alive persons in the Azure World. He was a survivor of the ancient era's wars. Throughout his five thousand years lifespan, he had seen such a scene once, and the person who invoked such a mighty tribulation was indeed worthy of being called the number one expert in the world.

Seeing this scene once again, he couldn't help paying more attention to it. No matter how he looked at it, the center of the tribulation was unmistakably the Fire Cloud Rat Clan's Ancestral Land. However, he didn't believe there was a peerless genius appearing in the clan, counting on how miserable the situation they were in.

A look of contemplation emerged on his face. He thought for a moment and called out calmly. "Qi."

Swoosh!

A blurry figure appeared behind Tianqi Zongwei and knelt on one knee. This person was a man in a clean white robe, and there was an ancient Qilin-patterned mask on his face. His name was Qi, Tianqi Zongwei's right-handed man.

"Please give this servant instruction, Master," Qi said calmly. His voice was incomparably cold, seemingly void of emotion.

"I want to see the person that invoked heaven's wrath." Tianqi Zongwei said expressionlessly with his back facing Qi.

"Yes, Master," Qi replied readily, and his figure disappeared into thin air.

Tianqi Zongwei looked at the scarlet lightning domain that was gradually dispersing for a while and bent down, continuing to pick up the garlic sprouts.

A similar scene happened in the Great Roc Clan, the Purple-Winged Tiger Clan, and the Netherworld Wolf Clan. Their clan heads had also sent out their subordinates to check the situation of the Fire Cloud Rat Clan.

***

Several hours passed after the Heaven Tribulation incident. Yun Lintian was still sleeping soundly, with Linlin lying beside him with a worried expression.

At this moment, Yun Lintian's eyelids moved slightly before he slowly opened his eyes and stared at the unfamiliar ceiling for a moment.

"Big Brother Yun!" Linlin noticed his movement and quickly raised her head up. The stone in her heart immediately fell as soon as she saw Yun Lintian was fine.

Yun Lintian tilted his head slightly and smiled at her. "Sorry for making you worry."

Linlin shook her head and snuggled into Yun Lintian's embrace. "Big Brother Yun is too kind. I'm afraid one day you will get hurt because of this."

Yun Lintian stroked Linlin's fur that was fully recovered and said softly. "Big brother knows." He paused for a moment and asked. "How long did I sleep?"

"Twelve hours… Many people came to see you during this time, but I chased them away." Linlin replied while enjoying Yun Lintian's caress.

Yun Lintian nodded and carefully checked his condition. The previous action had him exhausted all of his profound energy. With twelve hours of sleep, he had recovered around thirty percent. This speed was extremely slow.

Yun Lintian slowly sat up and drank some water before trying to replenish profound energy by taking pills and absorbing directly from Profound Stones.

An hour later, Yun Lintian replenished his profound energy by more than half, and he felt it was the time to go out. After simply cleaning up, he changed into a new robe and walked out of the hut.

The moment he stepped out, he immediately saw a golden grain and a cornfield at the end of his line of sight. He was stunned for a moment and wondered whether he had slept for a month. How could these crops grow so fast?

"Senior Yun." At this moment, Huoyun Lingling slowly approached Yun Lintian and greeted him with a smile.

Yun Lintian gently nodded in return and asked. "How did it become like this?"

Huoyun Lingling followed Yun Lintian's gaze, and the smile on her face grew wider. "At first, we were confused about this as well. Later, we found out that the vitality in the ground was vibrant. These crops were influenced by it and grew rapidly overnight."

"I see. It must be Lord Vermilion Bird's blessing." Yun Lintian seemed to think of something and immediately understood.

"Yes." Huoyun Lingling said with gratitude.

"How's Matriarch?" Yun Lintian changed the topic.

Hearing this, Huoyun Lingling's face bloomed with an exciting smile. "Grandma has successfully broken through to the seventh level of the Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm, and she has now consolidated her realm. Everything thanks to Senior Yun."

"That's good." Yun Lintian was relieved to hear this. If something happened to Huoyun Yurou, he would lose his thigh, and it would be tough to get the so-called Misty Token.

"When are we going to set off?" Yun Lintian asked further.

"Grandma said that we will wait until Senior Yun recovers. Do you want to go over for a talk, Senior?" Huoyun Lingling asked politely.

Her attitude toward Yun Lintian completely changed. Yun Lintian was not only her and her grandmother's life savior but also the clan's savior. His status among the clansmen was even higher than the Grand Elder, Huoyun Zhu.

"Sure." Yun Lintian made a gesture and followed Huoyun Lingling to the hall inside the mountain.

Upon arriving in the hall, Yun Lintian saw Huoyun Yurou standing calmly with the cane in her hand. Her aura was entirely changed and somewhat detached from this world more than before. Yun Lintian was surprised slightly by the change in her. He couldn't even see the depth of her strength now without the help of Eyes of Heaven.

Huoyun Yurou smiled gently when she saw Yun Lintian. She slowly walked forward and suddenly bowed her head. "Thank you for saving my life. You've allowed me to stay with my granddaughters further and let everyone see the hope. I will use my life to repay this debt of gratitude."

Yun Lintian was taken aback and hurriedly helped her up. "Senior, this is too heavy. As I told you before, helping you is akin to helping myself. You don't need to do this."

Huoyun Yurou shook her head slightly. "It's a different thing."

Yun Lintian stared at her for a while and changed the topic. "Shall we set off tomorrow, Senior?"

A cold glint flashed across Huoyun Yurou's eyes as she replied. "Yes, we will leave tomorrow."
