608 The High God Who Betrayed the Heavenly God Palace

“Little Yu!”

Zhao Yan was the first to react. Her face brightened with surprise.

Lin Qiye and Wan Meng realized that the person who had just arrived was someone they knew.

The three left the hall together and appeared in the sky above Tata Village in the blink of an eye.

“Little Yu! It’s great that you’re fine!”

The person who suddenly appeared was Zhao Yan’s sister, Zhao Yu.

Upon seeing her, Zhao Yan was so excited that she wanted to step forward. With Wan Meng’s help, Zhao Yan carried her heavily injured body to Zhao Yu.

Although Lin Qiye had healed most of her injuries, they were too severe. She could not move her broken left arm freely.

The corroded wound on her face was still mostly intact.

“Sister! How did you end up like this?”

Zhao Yu was shocked by Zhao Yan’s miserable appearance. She held Zhao Yan up and checked her injuries at the same time.

“I’m fine. Lord Holy Infant has already treated me. It won’t be long before I recover.”

Lord Holy Infant?

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yu could not help but turn to look at Lin Qiye. Then, she glanced at Zhao Yan, full of doubts.

Previously, when she was in charge of monitoring Lin Qiye, Zhao Yan had either called Lin Qiye the antidote, Holy Infant Temple Master, or that guy.

Although she took Lin Qiye seriously, as a powerhouse in the Celestial Realm, she still looked at Lin Qiye with a condescending attitude.

But now, she heard Zhao Yan address Lin Qiye as Lord Holy Infant.

Only Lin Qiye’s followers and those who had a favor to ask of him would call him that.

“Sister, are you being coerced by him? Don’t worry. I’m here. He can’t do anything to you!”

Zhao Yu pulled Zhao Yan behind her and looked at Lin Qiye vigilantly, ready to fight.

Lin Qiye was speechless.

Zhao Yu seemed prejudiced against him, so when she saw the change in her sister’s attitude, she immediately thought he had threatened her.

“Don’t mess around, Little Yu. He’s my savior.”

Zhao Yan pulled Zhao Yu back, stopping her from doing anything further.

“That’s right, Sister Yu. Master didn’t sleep at all last night to save Sister Yan.” Wan Meng also chimed in.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu looked at the two suspiciously. Although she was no longer as hostile as before, she did not let down their guard.

“Sister, what happened? Why did you suddenly cut off all contact with the Heavenly God Palace?”

Zhao Yu asked Zhao Yan after seeing Lin Qiye had no ill intentions.

Everyone in the Heavenly God Palace had established a special connection with each other.

Generally speaking, as long as one was still alive, one could contact the Heavenly God Palace at any time.

“Let’s go down first. I’ll tell you what happened in the past two days.”

Considering Zhao Yan’s injuries, Zhao Yu didn’t say much. She followed the three to the rear hall of the temple.

They sat down, and Zhao Yan told Zhao Yu about what had happened in the past two days.

Her words shocked Zhao Yu.

“What? The High God had betrayed the Heavenly God Palace? He’s the one who injured you!?”

The three High Gods of the Heavenly God Palace had always been the targets of worship for many members.

Zhao Yu was no exception.

Now that she heard her dearest sister had almost been killed by the person she admired, she was angry and upset.

“That’s right. If it weren’t for that transportation token, I might have died under the claws of that demon.”

Lin Qiye had only just found out about Zhao Yan’s escape.

He knew about the transportation token and even had one on him.

It was from the spoils of war left behind after killing the White Dragon.

It could teleport ten thousand miles.

The greater transportation token Zhao Yu had mentioned seemed like a higher-grade treasure.

As long as she left a coordinate at a certain place, even in the secret realm, she could ignore the distance and move to that location.

“It’s a pity. You can’t find a second treasure like that in the entire Heavenly God Palace…” Zhao Yan said with some regret.

The greater transportation token was a treasure created by those mighty beings in ancient times. It was still considered a rare item even in that era when there were many powerhouses.

“The treasure is just a tool. It’s only valuable after it’s used. It’s the best thing that you can escape, sister.”

Compared to the treasure, Zhao Yu was more concerned about her sister’s safety.

After that, Zhao Yan told her about how Lin Qiye had saved her. Wan Meng added what Lin Qiye had done while Zhao Yan was unconscious.

However, Zhao Yu became a little confused after listening to the story.

She was not suspicious of Lin Qiye but of what happened before Zhao Yan escaped.

“Strange. Sister, did you go to any other place before using the greater transportation token?” Zhao Yu asked, puzzled.

“No, I was heavily injured at that time, and that demon had attacked me. If I used the greater transportation token half a breath later, I’m afraid my consciousness would have been taken over. What’s wrong? Is there a problem?”

...

Zhao Yan didn’t understand why Zhao Yu would ask such a question.

Zhao Yu frowned.

“That’s not right. When I was at the Heavenly God Palace, I heard you went to investigate the entrance alone before you disappeared. Hall Master Zhan also said that you led a small team to avoid the demons before that.”

“Huh? That’s impossible. Although I was the first to discover the invasion of the demons, I didn’t even have time to send out the news before I was attacked by that bastard. How could they have seen me?”

Zhao Yan was dumbfounded. She was sure she had escaped the Heavenly God Palace after being attacked.

Moreover, she was already gravely injured at that time. How could she have led a small team to avoid the demons?

More importantly, Zhao Yu mentioned Hall Master Zhan.

Other than Zhao Yu, Hall Master Zhan was the person who had the best relationship with her.

If he said he saw her, he couldn’t be lying.

“What did Brother Zhan tell you? How was he now? Did he manage to escape?”

At the mention of Hall Master Zhan, Zhao Yu’s expression immediately darkened.

...

She clutched the corner of her shirt and did not dare to look into Zhao Yan’s eyes.

“Hall Master Zhan… He… sacrificed himself to help me escape…

“What!?”

Zhao Yan went limp.

She and Hall Master Zhan had known each other for thousands of years, and they had a good impression of each other. However, they were both focused on cultivation and did not express their feelings.

Now that she heard an old friend had died, she found it hard to accept.

Zhao Yu’s eyes turned red. She knew the relationship between Hall Master Zhan and her sister was only separated by a thin layer of paper.

Unfortunately, that layer of paper could never be broken again.

“Before Hall Master Zhan left, he asked me to pass a message to you. He said he kept his promise to you.”

Zhao Yu clenched her fists even harder.

Even though Hall Master Zhan had only burned his life force when she left, the scene of Hall Master Zhan’s self-detonation could be felt even from ten thousand miles away.

No matter how much she didn’t want to believe it, she had to admit that he was dead.

“A promise?”

However, after hearing Zhao Yu’s words, Zhao Yan temporarily pulled herself out of her sadness.

She was stunned for a long time, her expression still filled with sadness and confusion.

Because she didn’t know what the promise was.

Everyone present could tell that Zhao Yan did not seem to remember the promise.

It made Zhao Yu even more confused.

When she thought about what her sister said, which was different from what she knew, she could not help but wonder if Zhao Yan was affected by some external force, causing her memory to glitch.

Zhao Yu changed her target. The first person she suspected was Lin Qiye.

Lin Qiye instantly understood what she was thinking. He spread his hands helplessly and said, “Don’t look at me. What I know is exactly what you heard.”

“Master, could it be that there’s something wrong with Sister Yan’s memory? Perhaps it was related to the injury to her soul?”

Wan Meng didn’t think much about it and was only concerned about Zhao Yan’s injury.

Zhao Yu also came back to her senses. She was nervous when she heard that Zhao Yan’s soul was injured.

“Sister, did you hurt your soul?”

“It’ll be fine. It should be fine…”
