"So, they are Chaos Knights?" Hongyue asked as Yun Lintian walked into the room. "Their strength is similar to the Ancient Devil God I met."
Yun Lintian shook his head and said, "They can barely be considered qualified Chaos Knights. The real deal is those in the rankings."
"How many are there?" Hongyue asked curiously.
"I'm not sure myself. It was said that the top ten Chaos Knights were as powerful as the six regents. Although this statement is a bit far-fetched based on my experience, they cannot be underestimated," Yun Lintian replied.
"An army of True Gods... This is unbelievable," Hongyue said in a deep voice.
"Don't we also have one?" Yun Lintian said with a smile. He was fully confident in the Misty Cloud Sect's disciples. There shouldn't be a problem for them to fight against the Chaos Knights.
"You are right, but don't forget that they don't have as much experience as the Chaos Knights, who have lived for eons," Hongyue said, rolling her eyes.
Yun Lintian smiled and said nothing.
"What should we do next?" Hongyue asked.
"Of course, we need to visit the Ice Phoenix Kingdom. They should be in a similar situation," Yun Lintian said.
At this moment, Qi Gang and Qi Zongwen walked into the room.
Qi Zongwen took a deep look at Yun Lintian and bowed slightly. "I'm sorry."
Yun Lintian squinted his eyes at him and said, "I hope you can think it through." His voice was deep and mixed with a hint of threat. As long as Qi Zongwen had any intention of betraying him, he would do everything to eliminate him, even if he was the powerful Golden Qilin Emperor.
Qi Zongwen was naturally aware of this. He nodded and said solemnly, "I will prove it with my actions."
"Good," Yun Lintian said. "Can we use the grand formation here? I'm going to visit the Ice Phoenix Kingdom."
"No problem. Follow me," Qi Zongwen replied readily and led Yun Lintian's group towards the grand formation.
***
Inside the Ice Phoenix Palace, a group of four Chaos Knights who had just returned from the Haven sat around a long table with Lan Bingxue at the main seat.
"So, what prevented all of you from coming back?" Lan Bingxue asked calmly. She had always been curious about this. It was strange that none of the people who entered the Haven had returned for a long time.
One of the four, Leng Ziyu, replied with a faint smile. "Master, you wouldn't want to return either once you go there. The Haven is indeed a paradise, as everyone has speculated. The outside world can't be compared to it in the slightest."
Lan Bingxue nodded slowly, but she obviously didn't believe it in her heart. "What did the Lord of Chaos say to send all of you back?" she asked.
"Nothing much, Master. The Lord of Chaos told us to prepare well for the upcoming change in the Realm of Chaos. You should be prepared, Master. It's going to be something we have never seen before," Leng Ziyu said softly.
"The upcoming change?" Lan Bingxue raised her brow slightly.
"Yes, Master," Leng Ziyu nodded gently. "Have you noticed that the Realm of Chaos has become more and more chaotic lately?"
"Could it be related to the Abyssal Rift?" Lan Bingxue made a guess. Since Yun Lintian had departed for the Abyssal Rift, she had no idea what happened over there.
"It's a part of it. I cannot tell you much, Master. Please forgive me," Leng Ziyu said apologetically.
Lan Bingxue swept her gaze over the four disciples briefly and said, "Well, it's good that you are back. We lost Lou Yi in the previous battle with the Shadow Demons. With you here, I can be relieved."Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"Don't worry, Master. We will protect our home at all costs," Leng Ziyu and the other three Chaos Knights said in unison.
"Good," Lan Bingxue said with a smile. She exchanged a few more words with Leng Ziyu and the others before returning to the garden to continue training.
As Lan Bingxue left, Leng Ziyu and the other three Chaos Knights exchanged knowing glances and quickly left the palace, heading their separate ways.
Inside the garden, Mu Zhi soaked in the ice lake, her face contorting from time to time as she tried her best to absorb the ice energy.
On the side, Lan Bingxue nodded with a smile when she saw this scene. "Not bad. You've progressed a lot during this short period."
At this moment, Wan Jingrou walked over and bowed her head. "Master, there's a reaction on the grand formation."
Since the Supreme Elder Lou Yi had lost her life, Wan Jingrou had taken over Lou Yi's duties, taking care of the general management.
Lan Bingxue's eyes lit up, and her figure disappeared from the place. A moment later, she arrived in front of the grand formation.
The grand formation was soon enveloped by a bright light, and several figures gradually emerged from it.
Lan Bingxue looked at the familiar figures and said with a smile, "Welcome back."
Yun Lintian stepped out of the formation, looked around briefly, and asked, "Where are those Chaos Knights?"
Lan Bingxue was taken aback. "Chaos Knights? You mean my disciples who have returned from the Haven? What's wrong with them?"
Before Yun Lintian could reply, Lan Hanyu stepped forward and said, "Let me explain it."
She then began to recount the situation and the conspiracy behind the return of the Chaos Knights. Naturally, she omitted Yun Lintian's experience inside the Abyssal Rift.
Lan Bingxue's expression changed slightly when she heard this. "You mean... they are no longer my disciples but something else?"
Yun Lintian observed Lan Bingxue's expression and believed that her reaction was genuine. It seemed she had nothing to do with the Lord of Chaos. Naturally, it couldn't be concluded as she had a tie with the person that created her.
"Yes," Lan Hanyu said gently. "Their souls are completely corrupted."
Lan Bingxue went silent for a moment and said, "This is a bit unbelievable. I didn't see any
flaws in them."
"Where are they now?" Yun Lintian asked.
"They..." Before Lan Bingxue could answer, the ground suddenly shook.
Rumble-
All of a sudden, the entire Ice Phoenix Kingdom trembled, and a dark curtain quickly emerged
in the air, spreading to every corner of the realm.
Lan Bingxue's expression fell as she spoke. "They indeed have problems."
Yun Lintian didn't say anything further and soared into the sky. His divine sense quickly swept
over the entire realm.
At this moment, four figures appeared in the air. They were naturally Leng Ziyu and her
companions.
"I didn't expect you to react so quickly," Leng Ziyu said calmly as she stared at Yun Lintian.
