The evil cultivators who had intended to mock her were rendered speechless. Their words caught in their throats as they choked on their saliva.
Everyone: "....."
What in the heavenly realm is happening? This question suddenly emerged in their minds.
Their jaws dropped to the floor, eyes wide with shock, and their movements froze in mid-air. The expressions on their faces were so comical that Xiao Yun couldn’t help but burst into loud laughter.
Shenlian Yingyue’s lips twitched. With ease, she terminated the lives of several leaders among the evil cultivators, the strongest of them all.
Their strength had reached the Nascent Soul stage, making them a threat to everyone present.
Before anyone could react, she vanished from the scene.
"WHATTT!!!!"
"WHO WAS THAT PERSON JUST NOW?"
They erupted with questions, their voices loud enough to shake the surrounding buildings.
"That figure looks very familiar!" the members of the Luminous Moon Palace gasped, a sense of suspicion creeping over them.
Only four individuals held deep, ecstatic expressions.
"Is that our Goddess?" asked Mo Da, a twelve-year-old boy with jade-like, translucent skin. His small, pretty face beamed with excitement and anticipation.
"She’s back!!" replied Xiang Ju, a thirteen-year-old girl with fair skin. Her once cold demeanor softened, revealing an admiration that shone in her beautiful eyes.
"Quick, let’s deal with these people and go meet her!" exclaimed Xing Juan, a nineteen-year-old girl with dark skin, her beautiful face alight with surprise and joy.
"My Goddess..." muttered De Lun, a sixteen-year-old boy with dark skin and handsome features. His once cold and expressionless face softened.
No matter how she concealed her identity and aura, how could these four, who adored her as if she were their entire world, not recognize her?
Without hesitation, they instructed the members of the Luminous Moon Palace to swiftly handle the evil cultivators who had lost their puppets and were now lifeless corpses.
In fact, Shenlian Yingyue didn’t disappear; instead, she remained quietly to observe their movements and progress.
After ensuring that they were capable of surviving and achieving victory in the battle, she silently left and returned to the Luminous Moon Palace, having heard that Huang Bai Xing and Huang Donghai had established complete control over the fight against the evil cultivators.

[Outer Domain, Poisonous Valley, Luminous Moon Palace]
The air was fresh, the waters were clean, the grass was lush, and the trees thrived.
Everything here exuded a sense of peace and beauty. She effortlessly bypassed the protective barriers and formations to enter the Luminous Moon Palace.
Awe filled her as she beheld the shining new palace.
The grand structure stood imposingly amid countless exquisite buildings.
The statue was so meticulously detailed and expertly crafted that it seemed the artist had poured every ounce of effort into it.
If this wasn’t her, then who could it be?
She flew over to circle around the statue, and a warm current began to fill her heart.
"My Lord, welcome back!" Suddenly, several voices echoed as four figures appeared.
Shenlian Yingyue wasn’t surprised they found her so quickly. Given their abilities and potential, even the greatest geniuses had to admire them.
"How has life been treating you?" A light, warm smile blossomed on her face as she turned to look at them. She removed her mask, revealing the beautiful face that they had long yearned for, day and night.
The four of them felt their throats tighten, tears streaming from their eyes.
"My Lord, we..." they started, but choked up and couldn’t finish their statement.
She simply smiled and lovingly stroked their heads one by one, offering them the same gentleness and warmth they had received from her over the years. Now, they were feeling it once more.
At that moment, they no longer cared about their identities. They forgot that she was their Lord and rushed into her arms, absorbing her warmth and gentle aura.
Life had been harsh on them. They had feared they wouldn’t survive the cruelty of the evil cultivators, but she had appeared, rescuing them and paving a way for them to walk once more when they felt lost.
Throughout the years, they had never relaxed; instead, they worked tirelessly to improve, fearing they would drag her down with them. They dreaded becoming her weakness one day.
They trained and studied diligently, day and night, in heavy rain, through the cold of winter, and under the scorching summer sun.
