When the communicator announced, "Ye Nan is ready," the celestial god had already returned to the gathering place in Beijing.
Dressed in a black robe to conceal his figure, and with a different style of mask on his face, the celestial god felt safe from any exposure risks thanks to his own strength.
He walked swiftly into the Inner City, making his way to Lin Tianxue's residence. He effortlessly scaled the wall and slipped in without alarming anyone—just like returning home.
Moving slowly through the shadows of the courtyard, it wasn't long before he arrived at the agreed-upon meeting room with Lin Tianxue. As he knocked on the door, it opened to reveal Lin Tianxue's slightly haggard face.
"Celestial Lord..."
Lin Tianxue's eyes were red and swollen, as if she had just been crying. Seeing this, the celestial god gently patted her head and signaled her to hurry inside.
As soon as he entered, the celestial god noticed three life forces.
"Qin Tian, Arthur, Agur... Hmm, these three will do."
The celestial god commented nonchalantly. Qin Tian and Arthur's strengths needed no elaboration, while Agur was a military powerhouse who had sided with Lin Tianxue, ranking at number 22, and was also an exceptionally strong limit breaker.
These three were Lin Tianxue's trump cards! They were the only three sixth-level limit breakers that she could trust...
In contrast, Lin Haifeng had dozens, if not hundreds, more sixth-level limit breakers at his disposal! It was no wonder that Lin Tianxue felt terrified upon hearing about Lin Haifeng's impending cleanup operation; all she could think about was saving her own life, as the gap in strength was simply too great.
As soon as the celestial god walked into the room, Lin Tianxue impatiently asked, "When are we leaving?"
"Soon. Pack your things," he replied tersely.
However, just after the celestial god finished speaking, another voice unexpectedly interjected from the side.
"Little Snow, let's not make a fuss. Go apologize to Commander Lin. I believe Commander Lin will forgive you. Don’t tell me about being imprisoned for life and never seeing Yuqiong again; I think that's highly unlikely!"
Qin Tian gazed at the celestial god's iron mask, his eyes blazing with suspicion. He felt that this matter was profoundly bizarre.
"Little Snow, although Commander Lin is strict in his military command, he is not heartless. Given the circumstances, I think you should apologize. You may face imprisonment, but at most, it will be within this courtyard. Besides, Yuqiong will likely come to visit you regularly. Why go through so much trouble just to suffer on the Star of Africa? Little Snow, even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cub..."
As Qin Tian kept his eyes fixed on the celestial god, he almost openly accused him of ill intent while persistently persuading Lin Tianxue. However, as soon as he uttered "even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cub," the celestial god suddenly let out a sneer...
He turned his head, ignoring Qin Tian entirely, and continued speaking to Lin Tianxue, "Commander Lin's men are already on the way, but my people will arrive first. We mustn't raise any alarms. Once my people arrive, we’ll leave. Oh, by the way, Commander Lin's judgment on you has been issued: you will be assigned to a special suite at the bottom level of Black Abyss Prison. The environment is decent, but it is a life sentence..."
"That’s impossible!"
Qin Tian interjected again, his tone filled with distrust towards the celestial god. However, his words were cut off by Lin Tianxue's wave of her hand.
"Qin Tian, enough! I trust myself more than my father... I trust the Celestial Lord!"
As if having made up her mind, Lin Tianxue's haggard face gradually hardened with determination. She gently nodded to the celestial god and asked, "When will your people arrive?"
"They will notify me upon arrival. You pack your things, and as soon as we get the news, we’ll act immediately."

Returning to the Heavenly Palace once again didn’t elicit any special emotions. In fact, over the past few years, Wen Yu occasionally visited the Heavenly Palace, gaining a few minor benefits without any major ones.
