Translator: Mercurial_ Editor: DarkGem

Li Yunmu, who was cultivating on the island in the Origin World, naturally had no clue about the chaotic situation on Earth in the last two years, let alone that his former acquaintances Barbarian Niu and Ling Shuang who should've perished in the depths of dragon mist had returned to the Central Continent.

But their actions were extremely bizarre.

How had Barbarian Niu become the source of the terrifying malicious energy which scared all the powerhouses in the world? And how could Ling Shuang, a woman with strong will and a proud nature, accept to become his servant?

Every little thing was about them was extremely strange.

Li Yunmu didn't know anything about it, but if he did, he would certainly understand they now held a lot of secrets.

All the powerhouses in the world were searching for the source of the sinister energy, but no one could find it.

When Barbarian Niu returned to the Central Continent, he went to Kunlun Mountains where he shook the whole place sheltered by the nine sage beasts as if he was the local god of that area. But no one outside the region noticed it. Even the quasi deities and battle sages with the sharpest senses had no idea, as if some sort of barrier had arisen to obstruct their senses from sensing the changes.

...

After Li Yunmu had led Barbarian Niu, Demon, and Li Qinghong to descend to the Origin World, Blade Overlord who had returned from Black Dragon Island brought Underworld Hand, Devil Monkey, Nangong Gongzi, and Flowing Cloud to reside in the depths of Moro Mountain Tenebrous Hidden Domain.

The four formidable halted fluxers together with Flowing Cloud occupied the terrifying region after the peak flux disciples had descended to the Origin World.

Other fifth dimensional fluxers didn't know what was their aim behind isolating themselves in the Moro Mountain Tenebrous Hidden Domain. But those who had a great information network had guessed long ago that Blade Overlord and the other four were protecting the secret realm discovered by Li Yunmu before.

The depths of Moro Mountain Tenebrous Hidden Domain was a region which very few rainbow crystal fluxer dared to visit.

And because of Blade Overlord and the other four who had occupied it and were killing everyone who intruded, the hidden domain gradually faded out of public memory.

Although many people had had designs upon the secret realm discovered by Li Yunmu, they dispelled such thoughts because of the two reasons.

Blade Overlord and other four were extremely low-key during the time and had remained in the abyss of the hidden domain without ever coming out.

But that day, while the five of them were calmly cultivating in secret, all of them froze. Astonishment appeared on their faces.

"It's Barbarian Niu, I'm not mistaken. This presence definitely belongs to Barbarian Niu,

" Underworld Hand suddenly said while looking toward Kunlun Mountains.

After returning from Black Dragon Island, Blade Overlord had brought the unfortunate news about Barbarian Niu. All of them thus believed that he had died in the depths of dragon mist.

But on that day, his unfamiliar yet familiar presence startled all five of them.

"Yes, I can barely believe that it was really Barbarian Niu's presence. How is that possible? He actually returned from the dragon mist abyss?

" Nangong Gongzi said with extreme astonishment.

Regardless of whether it was Barbarian Niu or them, all of them were Li Yunmu's followers whose soul imprints were bound to his heavenly world. Because of that, a formless connection existed between them.

When Barbarian Niu had come out from Black Dragon Island and went to Central Continent's Kunlun Mountains, they had immediately sensed that apart from the five of them, a sixth follower had showed up on Earth.

"It should be Barbarian Niu. According to what I know, apart from us, Master didn't have any more followers. If it is not him, then who else could it be?

"

Flowing Cloud still adorned a cyan gown. When it was coupled with her beauty, she was like a fairy. But her presence was even more concealed and formidable than before.

"However, if Barbarian Niu returned, why hasn't he come to the hidden domain first and met with us?

" Devil Monkey asked suspiciously.

"I feel we should go out now. First to investigate what's going on and second to use the opportunity to rescue master's family?

" Nangong Gongzi suggested.

"No, without my order, no one can take even half a step out of the hidden domain. Everything will proceed as our master has planned.

" Blade Overlord immediately vetoed his suggestion.

"But the situation on Earth isn't very safe. War God Temple and Battle Sage Vega are going to enter a fierce battle with Divine Religion faction at any time. I'm afraid that master's parents aren't too safe in Vega City,

" Flowing Cloud couldn't help but say.

When Li Yunmu left the world, even he hadn't expected that a huge war would break out between the six transcending powers, affecting not only the six continents but also every single battle sage and quasi-deity. Even the supreme defender of Central Continent, Battle Sage Vega was involved.

If Li Yunmu had expected this, he might not have left his family's security in her hands.

But who could've expected such a thing? According to the circumstances at the time, it was supposed to be five transcending powers jointly attacking Divine Religion. But in the end, Northern Continent's Frontline Heavens rebelled, after which the behemoth Fluxer Association also went to stand by the side of Divine Religion, It then resulted in a deadlock between the two factions.

Throughout it all, Li Yunmu's followers had been holed up within the Fifth Dimension with their strength increasing greatly.

"Flowing Cloud's concerns are reasonable. Although master commanded us to not come out before ten years had passed, he definitely would have told us to spare no effort to get his family to the hidden domain if he knew that such a chaos would descend on the world. Blade Overlord, you are very inflexible,

" Underworld Hand said as his brows wrinkled.

"That won't do. We definitely cannot go out. After master left us, he gave me the responsibility to take care of all of you. I will deal with this matter carefully; otherwise, if you show in the world too early, you may wreck master's plans.

"

Blade Overlord had firmly held onto his stance to keep them from interfering, but he had loosened a bit, because the matter concerned the safety of Li Yunmu's family.

Regardless of whether it was Barbarian Niu or the war going outside, all of them were changing the situation. But if they left the Fifth Dimension and showed up outside, it would definitely affect Li Yunmu's plans.

While the five of them were unable to come to a unanimous decision, suddenly a sound of faint footsteps came from outside.

Their expressions changed instantly, but then returned to normal. Soon, a person dressed in black clothes to keep hidden rushed toward them.

"Reporting, there's urgent news.

"
