Overwhelming Light

Yun Lintian stepped out of the spatial rift, his figure descending gracefully onto the battlefield. The air around him crackled with energy, and the Heaven Piercing Sword in his hand glowed with an ethereal light. His presence was like a storm, disrupting the oppressive aura that Xi Baihe had cast over the Eternal Night Palace.

Ye Yingxi, battered and bloodied, looked up in surprise. She didn't recognize Yun Lintian, but the sheer power radiating from him was enough to make her heart skip a beat. Who was this young man, and why did he feel so familiar?

Before she could speak, Qi Zongwe's voice echoed in her mind through a long-range voice transmission.

"Ye Yingxi, this is Yun Lintian. He's here to help. Trust him."

Ye Yingxi's eyes widened in shock. Yun Lintian? The name rang a bell, but she couldn't quite place it. Still, if Qi Zongwen trusted him, then she had no choice but to do the same.
