Chapter 1560: Turbulent Winds Precede Mountain Storms
Bang!
The Teleportation Formation on the huge city plaza in Demon-Buster Valley suddenly broke apart, shocking countless people in the valley. The soldiers guarding the Teleportation Formation and their commander’s facial expressions changed at once.
“Purgatory Mystic Realm?”
A commander’s eyes widened in shock. The Heaven-Splitting Army had just entered the Purgatory Mystic Realm not long ago. There were countless young masters inside there. Little Eagle King, Qiu Ren, Bai Ditian, and the others were inside. If anything happened to them, the entire Earth Domain would descend into chaos.
Swish! Swish!
Formidable martial artists from countless castles flew out one by one. Heavenly King Wu, Heavenly King Long, and Heavenly King You erged from their castles as well. After all, if the Teleportation Formation here was broken, that ant the Teleportation Formation in Purgatory Mystic Realm was broken as well. There was a King-Ranked martial artist watching over the Teleportation Formation there, and yet sothing like that could still happen. Sothing huge must have occured.
“What’s going on?”
Heavenly King Wu shouted, his gaze turning cool as he scanned the group of commanders in the city plaza. In a low voice, he shouted, “Who can tell what exactly happened?”
The Teleportation Formation in the Purgatory Mystic Realm had been broken; who in Demon-Buster Valley would have known how? Di Qianjun was in charge of the mission this ti so he pondered for a while, cupped his fists, and said, “Reporting to Commander Wu, a few hours ago, the Heaven-Splitting Army accepted a mission to clear out Lunar Beasts. They must have been carrying out the mission near the Teleportation Formation. Could it be... that the Lunar Beasts destroyed the Teleportation Formation?”
“Nonsense!”
Heavenly King Wu spat in anger. He waved his hand and said, “The restrictions around the Teleportation Trap there are very powerful. Lunar Beasts could not have broken those restrictions and attacked the Teleportation Formation. What’s more... He Buyu is there guarding the Teleportation Formation. If sothing had occurred, he would have sent soone to inform us and request for back-up a long ti ago.”
“Heaven-Splitting Army?”
Heavenly King Long’s expression flickered slightly. He would not have minded too much if other armies had gone on that mission, but there were more young masters than usual in Heaven-Splitting Army. Little Eagle King was in that army, too. If anything untoward happened to them, many old n would turn Demon-Buster Valley upside down.
Heavenly King You’s eyes glinted. He beca shocked and curious as well. The Heaven-Splitting Army had gone on a mission on the surface, but he had given Ren Tianfan another mission secretly. To him, this did not seem like a big deal. However, sothing huge had happened now. He began to feel uneasy.
Heavenly King Wu and Heavenly King Long exchanged a aningful glance. Heavenly King Wu turned to Di Qianjun and asked, “Which is the closest mystic realm to Purgatory Mystic Realm? Yi Zu, imdiately teleport there and imdiately cut across space. Use the Chaos Beast Boat to inspect the Purgatory Mystic Realm. Co back with news the mont you find out what’s happening.”
If they used the Chaos Beast Boat to cut across space and get to the Purgatory Mystic Realm from where they were, it would take too much ti. It would take more than a year to travel to and fro. If sothing big had really happened inside—by the ti the news ca back to the Heavenly Kings, the corpses would be cold.
Thus, the only way around the problem was to teleport to the closest mystic realm to Purgatory Mystic Realm before cutting across space to enter it.
Yi Zu was a commander of the Demon-Buster Army’s Scout Hall. He was the one in charge of processing all the intelligence that they obtained. There was no need to say that he was of the Phantom Race; the Demon-Buster Army’s Scout Hall’s commanders had always been from the Phantom Race. The Phantom Race’s investigative and assassinating skills were the best in Earth Domain; no one could be better than them.
“The closest mystic realm to the Purgatory Mystic Realm? I think it’s Divine—”
Di Qianjun pondered for a mont and almost spat out a na. However, he imdiately stopped himself. Few people in the Earth Domain knew about that place. If he revealed this lace, he would be diced alive by Heavenly King You.
He was in charge of the Internal Affairs Court and had access to the most classified information. Naturally, he knew about the existence of the Divine Yang Mystic Realm. This Divine Yang Mystic Realm was the closest mystic realm to the Purgatory Mystic Realm. Heavenly King Wu and Heavenly King Long must have known this as well. That was why nobody exposed Divine Yang Mystic Realm. Di Qianjun expertly changed his response and said, “The Divine Wind Mystic Realm. That’s right, the Divine Wind Mystic Realm!”
There was a Divine Wind Mystic Realm near the Divine Yang Mystic Realm, but the journey from there would be a lot further. Still, Di Qianjun would not have revealed his knowledge of the Divine Yang Mystic Realm for fear of his life.
Heavenly King Wu nodded subtly and waved his hand. “Teleport to Divine Wind Mystic Realm. Yi Zu, move as quickly as you can. Don’t bother about anything else. I want firsthand information.”
“Yes!”
A phantom floated out from behind, who nobody could see clearly. Yi Zu floated towards one of the Teleportation Formation. His entire body was covered in a black robe, and his face was hidden as well. Imdiately, the Teleportation Formation was activated. Yi Zu disappeared into it.
Heavenly King Wu pondered for a mont and still felt uneasy. He turned to Heavenly King Long and said in a low voice, “Old Long, let’s inform the Old Eagle King about this situation via voice ssage. If sothing untoward happens, the Old Eagle King’s temper...”
“That’s right. Di Qianjun, send a ssage to the Green Eagle King.”
Heavenly King Long nodded. The Green Eagle King only had one precious son. Now, sothing strange seed to be happening to him. If they did not inform the Green Eagle King at first instance and the Little Eagle King really dies like that, the Green Eagle King would turn the Demon-Buster Valley upside down for sure. Three of them alone would not be able to fend him off.
“What exactly happened?”
By the ti Heavenly King Wu and the others returned to their own castles, the entire city plaza had burst into action. It had been a long ti since a Teleportation Formation last fell apart. Although nobody knew exactly what happened in the Purgatory Mystic Realm, they felt like this was significant!
After all, turbulent winds precede mountain storms.
...
Sothing significant had indeed happened inside the Purgatory Mystic Realm. Although it was absolutely silent in the Purgatory Mystic Realm at that mont, many people felt an ominous feeling in their bellies like sothing bad was going to happen soon.
The battle that took place between the Little Eagle King and Ren Tianfan earlier had caught their attention. Now, the Little Eagle King was being carried to the foot of the mountain by three Ink Feather Race guards to recuperate. The surroundings were absolutely quiet. Many people recalled sothing else.
It was almost as if...
The hundred or more formidable martial artists who had chased after the Poison Spirit had been gone for a long ti.
Not one of them had returned, and there was no news of them as well!
There was only one Poison Spirit, and an injured one at that! So what if he realized the Divine Spirit Thrust? How many people could he kill? About ten to twelve hours had already passed. Even if those people had failed to catch up to the Poison Spirit, they should have returned by now. At the very least, they should have sent a voice transmission back by now. However, Bai Ditian, Qiu Ren, and Ren Tianfan all had not received any news from them.
What went wrong?
Ren Tianfan exchanged a aningful look with Bai Ditian and Qiu Ren. For so reason, they felt uneasy. This uneasiness soon turned to panic. Bai Ditian and Qiu Ren sent people to send a voice transmission, but it was like throwing sand into the sea: they received nothing in return.
Ren Tianfan shot a look at a person from the You Clan. The You Clan’s disciple quickly sent a ssage to their martial artists as well, but they did not receive any news either. All of their expressions changed. The Poison Spirit could not have killed so many people. Even if he could, those people were not idiots. They would have sent a ssage back requesting for back-up for sure.
There was only one possibility: these people were wiped out at the sa ti. They did not even have ti to ask for back-up!
Swish!
Ren Tianfan pondered for a mont and then felt more unsettled. He landed and used a single hand to slap Yi Chan and the others on the back of their heads. Once the five of them were unconscious, he sent them into his spatial divine item. Whether those people had been killed by the Poison Spirit or not, he would have a trump card as long as these people remained in his hands.
“Hmph!”
The Little Eagle King was being guarded by a few people from the Ink Feather Race, on the peak of another shorter mountain. At that mont, he was focusing on recuperating. When he sensed what Ren Tianfan had done, he laughed mirthlessly. “General Ren, you still dare to take them hostage now? Heavenly King Wu’s people are on the way. Once we get back to Demon-Buster Valley, your sches will be exposed. Then, you will probably lose your status as the general...”
“Keke!”
Ren Tianfan laughed nonchalantly. Calmly, he replied, “Hostage? I’ve captured these people according to the law. I’m going to send them to the military court once we get back. Sches? What sches? Little Eagle King, you are thinking too much into this. You’ve broken the Teleportation Formation. Even if your father cos here, you will be severely punished for sure!”
The Little Eagle King remained equally nonchalant. His eagle-like gaze scanned overhead. He wanted to say sothing, but at that mont, he discovered strange movents in the space in the south. He thought that the people who went after the Poison Spirit were coming back. Imdiately, he sent his divine senses out to inspect the area.
The King-Ranked guardian, Ren Tianfan, Bai Ditian, Qiu Ren, and many other Titled Battle Gods all felt the strange movents in the south. Countless divine senses scanned the surroundings, like streams of water. In the end, everybody’s eyes widened; and their bodies stiffened. They looked like they had all seen the sa ghost.
“How is this possible?”
The King-Ranked guardian blinked his blurry eyes as his wrinkled face began to tremble. In a daze, he mumbled to himself, “This brat... is still alive?”
