Qinghe's prediction was not unexpected.

The remaining Yunqin soldiers who fled from the territory of Yuling Palace to the border were all wiped out by Ling Qi, who ambushed them on their only route.

When it comes to launching surprise attacks, no one is more professional than the people of the Nine Heavens Profound Dao Sect. Even the soldiers of Daqi are inferior in this respect.

When Sheng Lingxiao, Xiao Jiu, and the others arrived, the massacre was nearing its end.

This made Xiao Liu very unhappy.

Damn it, all the credit went to that son of a bitch, Wolf Eater. Especially Wolf Eater's way of leaving without a trace, hiding his merits and fame, made him even more unhappy.

Xiao Liu, feeling disgruntled, thought he should take the initiative to attack Gan Yun Qin Tian Dynasty's rear end, but Ling Qi told him that the princess had ordered them to immediately retreat to Dao Zong after the battle.

If they stay any longer, they will become targets of an ambush by the Yunqin Heavenly Dynasty.

As it turned out, the conjecture about standing firm at thirty was absolutely correct. After learning that defeat was inevitable, Yun Liandu once again mobilized a large number of experts to the battlefield, using the fleeing Heavenly Dynasty soldiers as bait to intercept and kill the Dao Sect members.

But it was too late.

By the time Yun Qintian Dynasty arrived at the border of Yuling Palace, Ling Qi and the others had already disappeared.

That's how strategy works; one wrong step leads to another.

Just as these many experts who had rushed over arrived found nothing and chose to return the way they came, they were ambushed.

Ambush, ambush, and counter-ambush – the Nine Heavens Profound Dao Sect's most formidable tactics were on full display at this moment.

The leader of this ambush was none other than the thirty-year-old protector, Elder Huo.

As the last Yunqin person was beheaded, Elder Huo let out a faint, cold snort.

"If it were a direct battle, Yun Qin might have the upper hand, but when it comes to ambush tactics like this, even Yun Lian Du is no match for my princess."

With that, he turned around and flicked his sleeve.

"But with the son-in-law here, you are still no match for us on the front lines. If we weren't currently in a period of building up strength, I would have led my men to your so-called Heavenly Emperor City to take a look."

Thus, Yun Qin's planned battle completely failed, with a million-strong army annihilated and a large number of experts lost.

Such a crushing defeat is destined to cause a huge uproar within the Yunqin Heavenly Dynasty.

Qinghe has left, and the Jade Spirit Palace needs her to oversee things now. Also, the Great Qi Array Hall needs her to go back and confirm the coordinates when it opens up the spatial passage from the Qi Clan to the Jade Spirit Palace.

In fact, she still has a lot to do. Getting all the disciples to accept Daqi is a huge project, and at the moment the space passage opens, a large number of spirit crystals and jade marrow will also begin to be transported to Daqi.

Under Bai Qian's guidance, Lingxi has begun to familiarize herself with the cultivation methods of the remaining five spirits of the Nine Spirits Opening Heaven Technique. She is just waiting for that bastard Xiao Jiu to return so that she can officially begin dual cultivation.

After saying a few words, He Boqi stepped into the spatial passage and returned to the Nine Heavens Profound Dao Sect.

But as soon as he stepped out of the spatial passage, he was stunned, because what greeted him at the exit of the spatial passage was a pretty face with a murderous look in it.

His face showed anger and grievance, but even more so, anxiety.

The owner of this face is Zhang Kailing, the little girl of the Zhang family's direct bloodline who cried loudly on the arena.

Upon seeing Yi Boqi, Zhang Qi stepped forward with a brisk pace and pointed at him.

"You have no conscience."

He Boqi raised an eyebrow sharply. What kind of talk was that? Strictly speaking, Zhang Kailing was his sister-in-law.

The sister-in-law pointed an angry and aggrieved finger at her brother-in-law and said, "You have no conscience." If anyone heard this, it would be hard not to misunderstand.

But Zhang Kailing's next words made Yi Boqi's figure disappear from the spot in an instant.

"My two older brothers went into the secret realm with you and haven't come out yet, you..."

Damn it, how could I forget about that?

Two silly brothers-in-law accompanied him to the Nine Heavens Secret Realm. After he broke through the formation, he led Zhang Da Chou out of the secret realm.

They then went to the Ye Clan and then to the Xuanwu Divine Land. How much time has passed? Are those two still trapped in the illusion array in the secret realm?

The Zhang family's thought process is so bizarre that all I can say is "amazing."

Those are your family's eldest and second young masters, and their talent and cultivation are top-notch. Such talented juniors are trapped in the illusion array and no one cares.

Can you believe it?

Upon entering the Nine Heavens Secret Realm, the peaceful and tranquil Xuandao Town came into view. Old men were sunbathing and playing chess, little ones were running and playing, and women were chatting idly. Interspersed among these were two weak and mournful cries for help.

As soon as Yi Boqi appeared, Lao Deng and the little ones all gathered around and greeted him with smiles. After sensing the change in Yi Boqi's aura, they praised him endlessly.

But Yi Boqi was puzzled. His two brothers-in-law had been shouting so loudly that their voices were hoarse, and their weak voices made it seem as if they would die at any moment.

But these old men just turned a deaf ear and ignored it completely. How did they manage to do that?

He refused his grandfather and father-in-law's invitation to come home for dinner again, and appeared inside the illusion array with a light touch of his foot.

The scene within the illusion array made Xiao Boqi's lips twitch violently.

That's terrible.

The two idiot brothers-in-law look absolutely terrible now, covered in bruises and with swollen faces, their doors are broken and covered in footprints.

The moment the two brothers saw Ye Boqi, they immediately hugged her and began to pour out their grievances.

"Brother-in-law...brother-in-law, why are you so late? We were almost killed by those old bastards, brother-in-law..."

The brothers' appearance puzzled Yi Boqi greatly. The illusion array in the Nine Heavens Secret Realm did not have offensive power; its main purpose was to create illusions to trap people's souls.
