Chapter 697 Chaos Descending

"So, you are trying to unite us? Are you dreaming, Tianqi Zongwei?" Huoyun Yurou sneered.

"I know it's difficult for you to accept it." Tianqi Zongwei said. He pointed his finger at Huoyun Yurou. "I will let you take a glimpse of it."

A white light shot straight into Huoyun Yurou's forehead, and she subconsciously closed her eyes. The scene that appeared before her was a barren continent plagued with a dead aura. Countless profound practitioners' remains could be seen everywhere. It was horrible beyond words.

What made her recognize this place was the mist around the Ancestral Land. At this moment, countless black-as-ink beasts were roaring and pushing, trying to break into the Ancestral Land. These beasts were nothing like the Abyssal Profound Beasts she had seen thousands of years ago. They were more fierce and powerful than before.

Just by looking at it, every beast in this place had profound strength, at least the peak of the Monarch Profound Realm. This was something several times terrible than the incident back then. Huoyun Yurou had already seen the scene where her clansmen were torn apart by these beasts as soon as they broke through the formation.

Huoyun Yurou trembled violently as her eyes snapped open. Her face turned pale, and her lips quivered uncontrollably.

"Matriarch!" Huoyun Zhu was frightened upon seeing her matriarch's appearance. She thought that Tianqi Zongwei had used some mental techniques to attack her.

Huoyun Yurou raised her hand to stop Huoyun Zhu and took a few deep breaths before looking at Tianqi Zongwei. "How long do we have?"

She didn't doubt the authenticity of the scene she had seen earlier. After all, she could distinguish whether it was a man-made illusion or a true piece of memory at her level. What Tianqi Zongwei showed her was undoubtedly derived from his own memory that was attached to his soul. It was impossible to forge it up.

"Ten years… Possible early than that." Tianqi Zongwei replied calmly.

"Ten years…" Huoyun Yurou's face turned solemn. It was almost impossible to raise everyone's strength within a span of ten years. Even with all the elixirs in this world. Unless a miracle happened.

Everyone in the scene glanced at Tianqi Zongwei and Huoyun Yurou in puzzlement. They didn't understand what was happening or what Huoyun Yurou had seen. However, no one dared to utter a word at the moment.

"During these thousands of years, I've been preparing for this. Unfortunately, I cannot find a solution." Tianqi Zongwei let out a sigh. "Although the future looks bleak, the appearance of Heaven's fury gave me hope."

He paused for a moment and stared at Huoyun Yurou. "If I'm not mistaken, the young man earlier should be the one who invoked Heaven's fury. Am I correct?"

Huoyun Yurou frowned. "What are you trying to do?"

Tianqi Zongwei shook his head. "In the ancient era, there was one person that triggered Heaven's fury, and the whole world had gone under an earth-shattering transformation… You know what I mean."

A strange light flashed through Huoyun Yurou's eyes. She suddenly recalled her son's words—Yun Lintian was the chosen one. He was destined to be something unprecedented, standing out from everyone in this era.

"Look like you have already known something." Tianqi Zongwei smiled faintly.

Huoyun Yurou pursed her lips. "You better take care of the Myriad Pill Palace first."

Tianqi Zongwei nodded. "Leave it to me. Although Du Xiaotian's prestige is high, he's nothing but a junior to me."

He turned to Bi You and said. "I heard that my son has forced you into a marriage. From now on, you're free. This marriage will never happen. I'll give you compensation later… As for your younger sister, I believe someone rescued her long ago."

Bi You was shocked and lost her usual calmness. She bowed her head and said gratefully. "Thank you, Senior."

Tianqi Zongwei looked at the crowd and said calmly. "From today onward, no one from the nine clans allows fighting each other. Anyone who violates the rules will be killed on the spot."

After his voice fell, his figure vanished from the place silently.

Tianqi Junlai opened his mouth wide. He had a ton of words to say, but he couldn't speak them out as he was shocked to the core by his father's series of actions… What the hell was going on?

Tianqi Yi and Tianqi Er suddenly heard Tianqi Zongwei's voice and their expressions became respectful. They didn't hesitate to grab Tianqi Junlai and bring him away.

"Where are you bringing me to!?" Tianqi Junlai was stunned and struggled to get rid of the two old men's grasps, but it was to no avail.

"Please forgive me. It's the old master's instruction." Tianqi Yi said calmly and increased his speed, vanishing from everyone's sight.

"This… What happened?" Yu Rongxi, who was usually calm and composed, was thoroughly confused. Before coming here, she had planned to fight to the end, yet it was ended just like that?

Jin Yang was at a loss as well. When he returned to his sense, he hurriedly asked. "Senior Huoyun, what… is going on?"

Everyone's gaze fixated on her, waiting for the explanation.

"I cannot tell you what happened exactly. Everything I see is deriving from Tianqi Zongwei's divination." Huoyun Yurou said calmly. "In the near future, this continent… No, the whole Azure World would descend into chaos. People would die like fallen leaves. Countless Abyssal beasts would run rampage everywhere, occupying every single corner of this world."

Frightful expressions appeared on everyone's faces. Their eyes were filled with disbelief and horror. Even though they didn't fully believe it, their hearts were already captured by the scene Huoyun Yurou had mentioned… What should they do now?

"Senior…" Yu Rongxi wanted to ask something but was interrupted by Huoyun Yurou first.

"Let's not talk about this. We have to find Huoyun Tian as soon as possible." Huoyun Yurou turned to Jin Yang and said. "Bring Mingzhe back first."

Jin Yang hesitated briefly and nodded. "Understood. I'll leave some people behind."

Huoyun Yurou glanced at Huoyun Zhu and said gently. "Go back and tell everyone we will enter seclusion from today onward."
