CHAPTER 754: CHAPTER 754: BACK TO THE SECT

As the carriage began to move, Yu Ming leaned out one last time to look back.

Her mother still stood there, arms crossed, face unreadable.

But just before the carriage turned the corner, Yu Ming saw it—a tiny, brief smile at the edge of her mother’s lips, but it vanished almost instantly, making it look like an illusion made by her mind that craved her mother’s affection.

The jade carriage shimmered softly under the morning sun as it began to rise into the air. Spirit patterns carved into its surface glowed faintly, responding to Noah’s silent command. A soft hum echoed as the carriage levitated higher, its wheels no longer touching the ground.

Then, without warning, the space in front of it began to ripple—like a pond disturbed by a single drop.

The ripples spread, folding reality itself, and with a barely audible crackle, a tear in the fabric of space opened just wide enough for the carriage to pass through. The rift was smooth, clean, and silent.

No huge surge of power followed. No lightning, no heavenly thunder, no spiritual reaction.

Not even the most alert experts in the realm noticed a thing.

The spatial tear closed quietly behind them, leaving no trace, not even a flicker of Qi in the air. The courtyard returned to stillness, as if the carriage and its passengers had never been there to begin with.

And just like that, the carriage appeared in the outside world the same way it had left, even for a while.

The moment Noah appeared in the world, he felt the wind entering the carriage, surrounding his body, caressing it gently with love and hidden sadness only he could sense.

Noah felt humanlike emotions from the wind and realized that his sudden departure from the world had startled Elysia.

Even though she could tell he had entered the EverDawn City, not being able to feel his presence and his breath on herself made her lose her mind and affect the nature and the atmosphere.

Feeling the sadness, Noah did his best to reassure Elysia through the wind and soothe her.

Xin Yan narrowed her eyes in understanding when she noticed his conspicuous waving of his hand and the unnatural flow of wind in the air.

But Mo Ji and Yu Ming could not understand his action or think of what he was doing.

They wanted to ask, but in the end they gave up on it, thinking of it as one of the mysterious, powerful actions of the great Noah.

As Noah calmed Elysia, the two girls started to look at him with worshiping looks in their eyes.

Xin Yan failed to see the look in their eyes as she focused more on Noah and controlling the carriage. Had she noticed, she would have only shaken her head with slight pride and resignation.

She knew Noah’s charm was not ordinary, so it was not surprising that these girls would act in this way.

Without a word from Noah, Xin Yan’s fingers shifted ever so slightly, brushing across a jade formation plate in her hands.

Instantly, the entire vehicle shimmered—then disappeared from view.

Just like that, the jade carriage vanished into the sky.

It moved silently, cloaked by powerful formations that hid both its shape and presence. Not even the wind reacted. Birds flew past without noticing, clouds parted without resistance, and the world below remained unaware.

Xin Yan steered calmly, her fingers resting lightly on a glowing compass in her hand—not that she needed it. She already knew the way.

They were heading toward the Quan Empire again, but that wasn’t their final destination.

Beyond the rivers and cities of the Quan lay something far more important.

Their home... The Feng Empire!

Yu Ming sat near the window, watching the sky blur past. She didn’t ask where they were going—she didn’t need to. For now all she needed was a safe place she could break through.

And she believed in Noah enough to not fear where he would take her.

The carriage retraced its steps and barged into the Lian Empire, and this time no one found out. It covered several hundred kilometers in less than a minute, and in less than ten minutes they had already left the Lian Empire.

Then came the Quan Empire, and finally... the Feng Empire!

As the jade carriage entered the borders of the Feng Empire, it began to slow down. The glow surrounding it faded, and the invisible veil hiding it vanished.

Now revealed, the carriage soared across the skies like a streak of jade light. But even though it was no longer hidden, it was still far too fast for most people to notice. At most, someone might catch a flicker of movement out of the corner of their eye—then look up to find nothing but clear blue sky.

Inside the carriage, the air was calm.

Xin Yan glanced at Noah. Her voice was steady. "Do you want to go to the capital city first... or the sect?"

Noah didn’t even think about it. "The sect."

Xin Yan nodded and changed direction smoothly, as if she had expected that answer all along.

The jade carriage turned, flying over vast forests and shining rivers, leaving distant cities and farmlands behind.

Above the peak of a desolate mountain that appeared to be similar to the ones surrounding it, a mansion stood within an enclosed space hidden from the naked eye by a powerful array.

The mansion spanned over several kilometers, almost covering every corner of the flat peak. The surroundings were covered in tall trees and natural lakes.

Looking at the current state of the Benevolent Guardian Sect, no one could say that it had been through a destructive attack only ten years ago.

Everything in the sect was back to its peak state and had even gone beyond.

Suddenly, without anyone knowing, a golden blur came to a stop a few yards away from this mountain peak and slowly infiltrated the protective barrier around it.
