Chapter 365: Something Happened at Yaochi Sacred Land

Chapter 365: Something Happened at Yaochi Sacred Land

"Go!"

Qin Xuan instantly set aside his amorous thoughts, grabbed Luo Xianxian, and walked into the center of the teleportation array.

A surge of anger rose in his heart as he secretly speculated: Could the Nether Clan led by Ming Yuan have rebelled, seeing that he was not in the Imperial City!?

If that were truly the case, even grinding the Nether Clan led by Ming Yuan into dust would not be enough to quell the hatred in his heart!

As the light of the teleportation array converged, Qin Xuan and Luo Xianxian disappeared from the boudoir.

When they reappeared, they were already at Qin Xuan's residence within the Underworld Kings Mansion.

In the room at this moment, Ning Waner, Wu Bingqing, Su Youyu, and Scarlet Thorn were all present.

Even Empress Mingyue Zhou Wu and Zhou Chen were among them.

Qin Xuan furrowed his brows and said in a deep voice, "What has happened? Why the urgent summons? Did Ming Yuan defect?"

Zhou Chen shook his head, "Master Qin, this matter has nothing to do with Ming Yuan. Although there is a protective grand array in Ziyang Imperial Capital, Ming Yuan has been leading the Nether Clan in attacks, without any regard for the casualties of his own clansmen!"

"Then what is it?" Qin Xuan's expression softened significantly.

Scarlet Thorn said with urgency in her voice, "It was an informant from Hidden Kill who came to find you, saying that something had changed at Yaochi Sacred Land. After saying that, the informant's Divine Soul was completely destroyed!"

Luo Xinyi looked puzzled and said, "No one knows if that informant had hidden malicious intent. I returned to Yaochi Sacred Land not long ago and did not discover any abnormalities; everything was flourishing."

She was a Disciple of Yaochi Sacred Land and understood everything about it thoroughly.

Everything was as usual, so where could there be any changes?!

Zhou Wu, who was sitting at the table, picked up her tea, took a light sip, glanced at Qin Xuan, and snorted with hostility in her beautiful eyes, "Little Chen asked me to go over earlier. For Little Chen's sake, I went to investigate and did not find any abnormalities."

Qin Xuan frowned.

He wondered in his heart, could it really be a diversionary tactic?

Was it Great Emperor Ziyang who discovered the spies he had planted in Ziyang Imperial Capital and deliberately arranged for an informant to lure him away, hoping to take the opportunity to destroy the Mingyue Dynasty and take revenge?

Scarlet Thorn said softly and soothingly, "I have already arranged for people to notify Elder Yu Jue. I believe she will rush back soon. At that time, we will know exactly what happened by asking her."

Within an hour, Yu Jue rushed back from a remote small city.

Initially, the headquarters of their Hidden Kill was within Mingyue Imperial City. Later, because they had to monitor various parties for Qin Xuan, including the Mingyue Dynasty, they also had a large number of secret agents.

Worried about being discovered by the Mingyue Dynasty, Yu Jue naturally moved the headquarters to a remote location.

Once she learned the cause, as soon as she saw Qin Xuan, Yu Jue stated firmly, "Something happened to Yaochi Sacred Land! A major incident!"

Luo Xinyi shook her head and retorted with full conviction, "Impossible. I returned to Yaochi Sacred Land earlier and there were no abnormalities. Even Empress Mingyue went to investigate in person and did not discover any clues. Why are you so certain that something happened to Yaochi Sacred Land? Could it be that both the Empress and I have grown senile?"

Yu Jue took a deep breath, her eyes full of gravity, and said, "I don't know exactly what happened at Yaochi Sacred Land. I only know that the one who came to report the news was Qian Yue. She and her sister, Qian Xin, Cultivate a special Cultivation Technique; if one prospers, both prosper, and if one suffers, both suffer. It must be that she sensed an abnormality with her sister that she came to find the Godfather! And after she informed us of the abnormality, her sister Qian Xin must have had her Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, which caused Qian Yue to suffer a backlash and perish as well!"

"Furthermore, after receiving the news from Scarlet Thorn, I investigated the spies planted in Yaochi Sacred Land. All eight of them have perished!"

"Even if Qian Xin had made a mistake in her cultivation and caused her sister Qian Yue to perish with her, it wouldn't explain why the other seven all met with accidents!"

Yu Jue looked at Qin Xuan and said with a grave expression, "Godfather, I dare to stake my life on it: something has definitely happened to Yaochi Sacred Land!"

Boom!

Yu Jue's words were like a thunderclap exploding in Qin Xuan's mind.

One must know that not only were Shangguan Ying, Shangguan Si, and Mu Qingxue in Yaochi Sacred Land, but his grandfather was also there.

If something happened to the Sacred Land, wouldn't his grandfather...

Whoosh—

Qin Xuan had no time for further thought. His figure flashed, tearing through the void like an arrow released from a string, shooting toward the direction of Yaochi Sacred Land.

Over a distance of more than 100,000 li, by constantly shattering the void, he arrived in less than two hours.

"Senior Brother Qin Xuan!"

"Senior Brother Qin Xuan is back!"

"Senior Brother, ever since you went to the Mingyue Dynasty, we have been hearing rumors about you."

"They say that not only did you destroy Wangqing Palace in one fell swoop, but even a Late Stage Quasi-Emperor Realm expert died at your hands."

"Senior Brother Qin Xuan, you are the golden signboard of our Yaochi Sacred Land. As long as you are here for one day, no matter where we go, we will enjoy the envy of the masses!"

"..."

The moment Qin Xuan appeared, many Disciples from the various peaks of Yaochi Sacred Land swarmed over, chattering noisily.

There were faces Qin Xuan didn't recognize, and some he did.

Qin Xuan furrowed his brows and asked, "Where is my Master?"

With his current cultivation, he only needed to radiate his thoughts, and even the Saint King Realm Peak Master of Thunder Prison Peak would have nowhere to hide.

However, he could not detect his Master's aura on Thunder Prison Peak, nor was there any sign of his Master within the entire Yaochi Sacred Land.

A Yaochi Disciple said with a smile, "The Peak Master of Thunder Prison Peak has gone to the Ten Thousand Mountains to undergo training."

"Then what about my grandfather?"

"Senior Great Demon God went with the Peak Master of Thunder Prison Peak."

"..."

Amidst the questions and answers,

Qin Xuan's breathing became increasingly heavy.

He finally understood why Luo Xinyi could not detect the abnormality in Yaochi Sacred Land.

These Disciples who were not close to him were always muddying the waters, deceiving Luo Xinyi, making her firmly believe that the scene before her was peaceful when she saw it.

Empress Mingyue knew even less information about Yaochi Sacred Land, so even if there were slight changes, she would find it difficult to detect.

Not to mention that at this moment, Yaochi Sacred Land looked exactly the same as before; even Qin Xuan could not detect any abnormalities within it.

However, what made Qin Xuan most furious was that the Peak Master of Thunder Prison Peak had gone out for training, his grandfather had gone with him, and even the father and two daughters of Mingtong Peak were not at their residence.

Even the Holy Master of Yaochi, Saintess Yao Yao, was not in the Sacred Land.

Had all the Saint King Realm experts he was familiar with in the entire Yaochi Sacred Land gone out?

Then who was left to preside over major matters in this Yaochi Sacred Land!?

Leng Li, inside the ancient prison-suppressing tower, took a deep breath and calmly exposed the truth, "It should be an illusion."

"However, unless one is at the Emperor Realm, such an illusion could not possibly conceal such a vast area!"

Qin Xuan's brows were tightly locked, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

He formed a fist seal and punched out.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

The power of 20 million Primordial Dragon Elephants, like a collapsing galaxy, surged out violently.

Yet, he saw that the Yaochi Sacred Land, which had previously been full of birdsong and flowers with drifting Immortal Qi, suddenly seemed as if time had frozen; everything came to a standstill.

Crack—

Under the ravaging force of the Primordial Dragon-Elephant Power, the space where Yaochi Sacred Land was located shattered like a mirror, with cracks spreading in all directions.

The Disciples beside Qin Xuan were blasted apart on the spot one by one, turning into clouds of smoke.
