"Your Highness, are you really going to seek revenge on the Bloodcloud Pavilion?" Zhong Ling hurriedly asked as she caught up with Xiao Tian.
"Revenge for what?" Xiao Tian shook his head and looked seriously at Zhong Ling. "Your thinking is wrong. This is about eliminating evil for the people and promoting justice.
An organization like the Bloodcloud Pavilion, which disregards human life for its own gain, should be eradicated with thunderous means.
We are driving away darkness and embracing light, restoring this world to its rightful state."
Listening to Xiao Tian's righteous words, Zhong Ling felt a bit dazed.
For some reason, she suddenly felt that what Xiao Tian said made a lot of sense.
"But we can't even find the location of the Bloodcloud Pavilion Branch in our Great Yan..." Zhong Ling voiced another concern.
Xiao Tian waved his hand, signaling Zhong Ling to rest assured. "Don't worry, I can find them."
With that, Xiao Tian looked around, and after confirming no one was around, he relaxed.
Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed the back of Zhong Ling's collar, lifting her up.
Before Zhong Ling could react, she found herself hoisted onto the prince's shoulder.
Then, she watched as Xiao Tian bent his legs and suddenly exerted force.
Boom!
A dull, massive sound exploded, and a terrifying impact spread out.
The immense pressure swept over her entire body.
Zhong Ling realized she was airborne, the scenery below rapidly shrinking.
The ground where she and the prince had been standing rippled like water before collapsing.
The scenery below sped past and then gradually enlarged.
Boom!
As Xiao Tian landed, it was as if a cannonball had struck a hillside, collapsing half of the mountain.
Amidst the flying dirt, Xiao Tian exerted force again, leaping high into the air.
With one jump, he crossed several mountain peaks.
Perched on Xiao Tian's shoulder, Zhong Ling was completely stunned by the commotion behind them.
Being in close contact with Xiao Tian, she felt it very clearly.
There wasn't the slightest hint of Spiritual Qi; Xiao Tian was truly relying on his terrifying physical strength to leap through the mountains.
But Zhong Ling gradually noticed that Xiao Tian seemed to be jumping higher and staying airborne longer.
Until he landed again, standing motionless in a desolate mountain forest.
Just as Zhong Ling was wondering what Xiao Tian was going to do, she suddenly heard him speak slowly.
"I think I've found some feeling."
Zhong Ling was puzzled. Found what feeling?
But in the next moment, Zhong Ling was astonished to find the surrounding dirt and stones slowly moving and floating upward.
The ground seemed to have an invisible wave, filling the area.
Boom!!!
Xiao Tian soared into the sky again, the gravity that had enveloped him seemingly disappearing.
"Hahaha, indeed!" Xiao Tian, continuously ascending, couldn't help but laugh heartily.
Passing through the clouds, Xiao Tian hovered in mid-air, gazing at the white Sea of Clouds bathed in sunlight, feeling utterly refreshed.
As an Earthling from an ultra-high dimension, he wasn't bound by rules, making it easy to break free from gravity and fly.
And flying with his own power, even Xiao Tian couldn't suppress the joy in his heart.
Perched on his shoulder, Zhong Ling was also amazed as she looked around. "So... so beautiful."
Hearing the voice of the little girl on his shoulder, Xiao Tian was curious. "Aren't you in the Sky-breaking Realm, able to fly in the air? Haven't you seen this before?"
"Your Highness, flying in the Sky-breaking Realm consumes too much Spiritual Qi, usually just a few meters off the ground is enough."
"I can't fly this high."
As Zhong Ling explained, she surveyed the high-altitude scenery she had never seen before, her expression changing.
Before she could take another look, a strong propulsion suddenly hit, and the scenery around her began to retreat rapidly.
As Xiao Tian's flying speed continued to increase, the scenery around them even began to blur, and Zhong Ling's vision could no longer keep up.
Her internal Spiritual Qi involuntarily surged out, forming a Protective Qi Barrier to prevent being torn apart.
"This... is too... too fast!" Zhong Ling was a bit scared, worried that if this continued, she wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Just as Zhong Ling felt she had reached her limit, she noticed that the prince carrying her was no longer speeding up.
Sensing this, Zhong Ling couldn't help but relax.
"The prince is truly terrifying, able to fly without Spiritual Qi, and the impact while flying forward is almost at my limit.
Just how terrifying is the prince's combat power?"
Zhong Ling marveled in her heart, unaware that Xiao Tian's flying limit hadn't been reached at all.
If not for the system inside Xiao Tian monitoring her condition and reminding him to slow down, Zhong Ling would have been shaken to death if Xiao Tian continued to accelerate.
Just as Zhong Ling was feeling dazed, Xiao Tian's voice suddenly came to her ears. "We're here."
Swish!
The scenery around them suddenly halted, Xiao Tian stopping instantly with almost no buffer.
"We're here?" Zhong Ling hadn't yet taken in her surroundings when she found Xiao Tian setting her down, grabbing her collar in one swift motion.
Before she could regain her senses, Zhong Ling found herself being lifted high by Xiao Tian.
Then...
"Off you go!" With a swift motion, Xiao Tian flung Zhong Ling forward.
"Eh??" Zhong Ling couldn't resist Xiao Tian's strength, flailing her limbs as she flew forward, her face full of terror.

Whoosh!
As Zhong Ling flew forward, she noticed Xiao Tian moving even faster, overtaking her and rushing ahead.
Bang!
Xiao Tian, rushing forward, seemed to crash into a mirror.
Crack.
In Zhong Ling's eyes, the sky seemed to shatter, revealing cracked lines.
Crash...
Like a broken mirror falling away, the sky in front of them no longer empty, revealing a floating building as the illusion array collapsed.
The entire pavilion resembled a small island, crimson red, quietly suspended in the air.
On the large plaque above the building, two blood-red characters were engraved.
Bloodcloud Pavilion!
Without the protection of the array, Zhong Ling quickly adjusted her posture, and with the surge of Spiritual Qi, she flipped and landed steadily on the plaza in front of the floating pavilion.
Zhong Ling maintained a kneeling position, her long legs still trembling.
"It's actually a Flying Spiritual Artifact, no wonder the Emperor couldn't find the branch's location, it was in the sky all along." Zhong Ling supported herself on her knee, utterly astonished.
Xiao Tian reached out again, pulling Zhong Ling up from the ground. "Stay close to me, don't get lost."
"Yes!" Zhong Ling nodded quickly, following closely behind Xiao Tian. "What do we do next, should we sneak in?"
Xiao Tian shook his head, ascending the steps, and kicked the Bloodcloud Pavilion's door to pieces.
In the hall of the Bloodcloud Pavilion Branch, pairs of eyes simultaneously turned towards Xiao Tian.
The murderous aura from each assassin surged forth, sweeping over them.
"The weakest are all in the Sky-breaking Realm?" Zhong Ling, sensing slightly, was utterly shocked.
The Bloodcloud Pavilion Branch was far stronger than she had imagined.
Inside the building, in the hall.
Among a group of assassins, behind the counter in the center, a seductive woman with exposed shoulders leaned gently on the counter.
"Strange faces are rare, who are you, and what do you want at our Great Yan Bloodcloud Pavilion..."
Bang!
Before the seductive woman could finish her sentence, she was swept away by a terrifying Fist Force, along with the wall behind her, turning into dust.
The group of assassins hadn't reacted yet when a pair of scarlet eyes flashed before them.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The space seemed to freeze as Zhong Ling widened her eyes, watching as twenty-seven assassins in the hall vanished.
Xiao Tian demonstrated with his actions what it meant to obliterate to dust.
And with his strength, he showed her what it meant to act rather than talk.
