Chapter 0257: Returning to Tianyun

After hearing Huang Long’s words, the three divine realm experts from the Wanquan Domain Palace all grew dark-faced. Yet, they wisely refrained from attacking, likely realizing that Huang Long and his group were quite powerful. Including Baili Er, Huang Long’s side had six people, twice as many as them.
The middle-aged man among them gave Baili Er a cold glance, then glared resentfully at Huang Long and his group. After hesitating for a moment, he said unwillingly, “Let’s go!”
For now, they had no choice but to retreat. After all, this was not their Wanquan Star Domain but the Xingfeng Star Domain. Once back, they would request reinforcements, and they certainly wouldn’t let these people go.
Just as the three middle-aged men turned to leave, a sharp sword light flashed, forcing them to retreat. Turning back, they stared in shock at Huang Long. The middle-aged man snapped, “How dare you attack?!”
They hadn’t struck first, yet these people had attacked them instead.
Huang Long stared coldly at them. With a thought, the Fire Cloud Beast King and seven other divine-grade star beasts, along with over thirty sacred-grade star beasts, appeared in the sky, surrounding the three from the Wanquan Domain Palace.
The divine-grade star beasts of the Dark Star were equivalent to divine realm experts. Seeing the Fire Cloud Beast King and the other beasts around them, the three middle-aged men were terrified. Their anger vanished instantly, replaced by panic.
But before they could speak, the Fire Cloud Beast King and the others attacked, leaving no chance for them to speak.
The three from the Wanquan Domain Palace looked around as attacks came from all sides. Screaming in shock and anger, they fought back, but despair filled their eyes.
Standing nearby, Huang Long remained indifferent.
To return to Tianyun, they had to pass through the Wanquan Star Domain. With Baili Er’s situation, if they let those three go, they would likely cause trouble again when passing through Wanquan Star Domain. So, Huang Long couldn’t allow them to leave.
As expected, under the attacks of the Fire Cloud Beast King and the others, the three from the Wanquan Domain Palace soon disappeared forever from the world.
Immediately afterward, Huang Long recalled the Fire Cloud Beast King and the others to the Qunxian Pavilion. He glanced at Baili Er and was about to leave with Long Yi and the others.
Baili Er regained her senses and hurriedly called out, “Hey, wait!”
Huang Long turned back and looked at her.
“Can I follow you?” Baili Er asked in a pleading tone, her face full of hope.
The situation was similar to before, but this time, to Baili Er’s delight, Huang Long didn’t reject her outright. Instead, he looked at her calmly and asked, “Why were the Liuli Domain Palace and the Wanquan Domain Palace chasing you?”

Long Yi and the others also stared at Bailei, feeling puzzled.
Bailei froze for a moment, her expression hesitant, before saying, “They want to take something from me.” With that, she opened her big, watery eyes and added pitifully, “As for what it is, can I not say?”
Long Yi and the others almost laughed.
This Bailei—no one really knew how she had cultivated to such a level. She was already a powerful being from the Divine Realm, yet her speech and demeanor remained those of an innocent girl.
“Can’t you not say it?” When Bailei said this with her pitiful expression, it made Long Yi and the others feel guilty, as if they were forcing a young girl to speak.
Huang Long also shook his head in secret with a smile.
“We’re going back to Tianyun. Do you want to come with us?” Huang Long asked after pondering for a moment, looking at Bailei.
“You’re going back to Tianyun?” Bailei was surprised, her pretty face furrowing. She hadn’t expected Huang Long and the others to return to Tianyun. The incident of her being chased by people from Liuli Domain when she passed through Tianyun last time was still vivid in her mind.
Huang Long nodded gently.
“What will you do after returning to Tianyun?” Bailei asked.
“After returning to Tianyun, we have matters to attend to, so we can only let you follow us to Tianyun,” Huang Long replied.
Of course, Bailei couldn’t follow them forever.
“I need to return to the Divine Realm. Can you take me to the teleportation array? I will surely repay you generously,” Bailei said after a long silence, lifting her head with a hopeful expression, as if having made a great decision.
In the mortal realm, the teleportation arrays to the Divine Realm were overseen by the realm guardians, while those in lower-dimensional spaces were under the control of the Realm Kings.
“Return to the Divine Realm?!” Huang Long and the others were surprised.
Was this Bailei from the Divine Realm?
If so, her identity warranted serious consideration from Huang Long and the others.
The cost of traveling from the Divine Realm to lower-dimensional spaces was too high for ordinary divine-level powerhouses to bear. There were generally two ways to do this: either deliver divine stones to the Supreme God’s army—though the sheer number of these stones meant even the heads of small families couldn’t afford them—or possess a Supreme God token, which allowed free use of the teleportation arrays without needing to deliver divine stones.
Huang Long glanced at Bailei again with renewed attention.
Faced with Huang Long and the others’ astonished gazes, Bailei lowered her head, becoming shy and uneasy.
Huang Long pondered for a moment before saying, “Alright, but along the way, you must follow our instructions.”

When Bailei heard Huang Long agree, a smile bloomed on her tense face like a spring flower. She nodded obediently and thanked Huang Long and the others cheerfully.
Seeing Huang Long agree, Long Yi and the others were puzzled but said nothing.
Huang Long took Bailei with him, clearly having his own plans.
A short while later, they flew away from the starfield they were in. Naturally, Bailei also entered Huang Long’s Group of Immortals Pavilion.
With the Group of Immortals Pavilion, it made no difference to Huang Long whether he brought Bailei or not.
It wasn’t long before they passed through the Xingfeng Star Region and reached the Wanquan Star Region. They safely made their way through the spatial turbulence and headed back to the Tianyun Space.
More than four months later, they finally returned to Tianyun.
However, after the long journey, Long Yi and the others were exhausted. As soon as they arrived in Tianyun, they found a nearby planet to land on and rested.
But once back in Tianyun, the thought of the End of Laws Star in the Qingyao Star Region made everyone’s mood sour.
“What? You’re going to the End of Laws Star in the Qingyao Star Region?” Bailei exclaimed in shock when she learned that Huang Long and the others were coming to Tianyun for that purpose.
Hearing the surprise in Bailei’s voice, Long Yi and the others were puzzled.
Huang Long was also confused and nodded, “That’s right.”
“The End of Laws Star’s core is changing, causing the entire planet to collapse. There’s an endless storm of stardust around it, and even lower-level gods can’t enter. What are you going to do there?” Bailei asked.
Long Yi and the others didn’t expect Bailei to know about the End of Laws Star.
“I see. You want to use the magic array of the Qingyao Region Mansion to get there?” Bailei realized suddenly.
“That’s right,” Long Yi nodded. “I didn’t expect Miss Bailei to know about this too. It’s just that we don’t know the master of the Qingyao Region Mansion, Bob, so…”
His meaning was clear, and only then did Bailei understand why Huang Long and the others were worried.
“Does the magic transmission array of the Qingyao Region Mansion really require that master’s token?” Bailei asked with a smile.
Long Yi and the others were stunned. What did she mean by that? Could it be that Bob’s token wasn’t necessary?
“Do you know any other way?” Huang Long asked, intrigued.
“Haha, of course,” Bailei replied, surprising and delighting Long Yi and the others. They hadn’t expected her to know of another method.
“I know where that magic array of the Qingyao Region Mansion is,” Bailei confirmed, meeting their expectations.

“What? You know where the magic array of Qingyao Domain Palace is?!” Long Yi and the others were stunned and blurted out, while Huang Long also turned to look at Bailei.
“That’s right,” Bailei smiled mysteriously. “As for how I know, that’s something I can’t tell.” Then she winked playfully at Long Yi and the others.
Long Yi and the others were overjoyed. As for how Bailei knew, they naturally wouldn’t press further. It was enough that Bailei knew the location of the magic array in Qingyao Domain Palace. They understood what that meant—once Bailei knew where it was, they wouldn’t need Bob’s token to find the array.
Bob’s token was merely used to order the people of Qingyao Domain Palace guarding the array to activate it. Since they had found the array themselves, they would find a way to make those guards activate it and send them to the Age of Decline Planet.
Huang Long hadn’t expected bringing Bailei to bring such an unexpected “surprise.”
“Then let’s not delay. We’ll head to Qingyao Star Region right now,” Huang Long and the others said, their earlier gloom gone, filled with excitement after learning that Bailei knew the location of the magic teleportation array in Qingyao Domain Palace.
So, Huang Long and the others rushed toward Qingyao Star Region with Bailei.
However, to avoid unnecessary trouble, Huang Long gave each of Long Yi and the others an disguise talisman to change their appearance. He believed that even godly warriors wouldn’t be able to recognize their original looks.
Of course, when Huang Long’s group returned to Tianyun, they didn’t disturb the Wangfu of Tianyun Realm, nor the Liuli Realm Palace or any other places. But as they passed by the Youwu Realm Palace, to their surprise, they learned that Youwu Realm’s ruler, Sophia, had also escaped from Dark Star.
Sophia, the ruler of Youwu Realm, could also escape from Dark Star?! Huang Long was puzzled. Could there be another exit from Dark Star besides the Forbidden Magic Mountain and the Tongtian River? In his opinion, Sophia couldn’t have escaped from the Forbidden Magic Mountain. Not to mention the Ice Rain, even the starbeasts there were too strong for her, no matter how skilled she was.
“Brother Huang Long, I didn’t expect Sophia to have escaped too. Does that mean the new ruler of Xinyuan Realm, Clyde, has also escaped?!” Long Yi and the others were shocked.
“So now, should we continue to Qingyao, or go to Youwu Realm Palace first?” Sea God Apton asked Huang Long.
