When the Falling Moon Holy Lord learned of this, even she was surprised. Just who could injure so many True Immortal experts through the Haotian Mirror?
Moreover, the Haotian Mirror was a very important immortal artifact of the Falling Moon Holy Land.
Now that it had been shattered, she had to regain some face!
The Falling Moon Holy Lord was a woman dressed in magnificent robes, graceful and regal, her presence as vast as the sea and impossible to fathom!
"According to what you said, that person must at least be in the Heavenly Immortal Realm! A mere Heavenly Immortal Realm expert dares oppose our Falling Moon Holy Land?"
The Falling Moon Holy Lord was somewhat angry. The soft flesh on her body trembled slightly, especially those two snow-white mounds of soft jade, which quivered incessantly as she waved her hand.
Waves of powerful presence poured from her body!
As a Holy Lord, her strength had already reached the Profound Immortal realm!
True Immortal, Earth Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, Profound Immortal, Immortal Lord, Immortal King, Immortal Emperor!
A mere Heavenly Immortal Realm expert truly had no right to challenge her!
The Falling Moon Holy Lord lightly swept her delicate hand through the void, and a mirror surface resembling a lake appeared.
As ripples rose across the mirror and gradually settled, that figure from earlier appeared again.
Elder Ruyan and the others were both nervous and expectant. They had personally experienced that person's terror earlier, but with the Holy Lord acting herself this time, everything should be fine, right?
Brimming with confidence, the Falling Moon Holy Lord continuously performed Method Formulas to make the figure in the mirror clearer.
But just as she thought she could handle Ye Chen however she pleased, the blurry figure in the mirror suddenly reached out a hand.
That hand actually crossed the barriers of space and time and emerged from the mirror!
"Ah!"
The sudden change made the Falling Moon Holy Lord cry out in terror.
He actually knew she was investigating his origins?
He could even reach his hand through the Secret Method she had performed?
Before the terrified eyes of Elder Ruyan and the others, that hand seized the Falling Moon Holy Lord by the neck and dragged her into the mirror!
Throughout the entire process, the Falling Moon Holy Lord, a Profound Immortal expert, had no power to resist!
By the time Elder Ruyan and the others came to their senses, the Falling Moon Holy Lord had vanished from the spot, without even a trace of her presence remaining!
This alarmed every senior figure in the Falling Moon Holy Land. A Holy Lord had been abducted-this was an earthshaking affair!
It could potentially deal a tremendous blow to the Falling Moon Holy Land!
Thus, numerous experts rushed over, hoping to uncover some thread of evidence and rescue the Holy Lord.
But no matter what methods they used to investigate, they could not detect the slightest trace of karma. There was no trail at all!
It was as though the Holy Lord had vanished into thin air!
"What exactly happened? The Holy Lord is a supreme expert at the Peak Profound Immortal level! How could someone abduct her? And from inside the holy land, no less?"
"This is a grave provocation against our Falling Moon Holy Land! We must find the culprit!"
"Our most urgent task is to locate the Holy Lord!"
The powerful figures within the holy land were all furious, yet helpless.
They had exhausted every method without finding the Falling Moon Holy Lord's location.
"Should we invite Immortal Lord Siming out?"
At this moment, someone made a suggestion.
Everyone fell silent, not daring to respond lightly, because most Immortal Lords were in secluded cultivation. Immortal Lord Siming, in particular, had cultivated in seclusion for over ten thousand years without emerging.
Who wanted to wake him?
However, when it came to divination and deduction, Immortal Lord Siming was indeed the most skilled in the entire Falling Moon Holy Land.
With Immortal Lord Siming here, they could surely locate the Holy Lord!
Just as the many True Immortals, Earth Immortals, Heavenly Immortals, and Profound Immortals were hesitating, a clear voice rang down from above.
"I already know the whole story. The Holy Lord has been taken by an unknown expert. This is an unbearable humiliation for our holy land!"
The speaker wore a long azure robe. His face was fair and handsome, his bearing otherworldly, and his build slender. He looked only around thirty.
In truth, he had lived for endless ages. Age had long since lost its meaning to him.
"It's Immortal Lord Siming!"
"Immortal Lord Siming has emerged from seclusion!"
"Wonderful! With Immortal Lord Siming here, he can surely divine the Holy Lord's identity. Then we'll show our enemy what despair means!"
The many top experts were all excited and delighted to see Immortal Lord Siming.
Under everyone's expectant gazes, Immortal Lord Siming took out the treasure he carried with him: a palm-sized compass.
The little compass began to grow, only stopping once it reached a size of a hundred feet.
Immortal Lord Siming poured his immortal power into it, making the compass continuously radiate light. Many oddly shaped runes flew out of it as well, seemingly searching for some karmic connection between heaven and earth.
Time passed little by little.
Before they knew it, everyone had grown somewhat impatient with waiting.
Immortal Lord Siming's brows were now tightly knitted, for he could find no trace between heaven and earth, not the slightest karmic connection!
It was as though the Falling Moon Holy Lord had never existed!
"Impossible!"
Immortal Lord Siming instinctively shook his head.
Even if someone died, their karma still existed, leaving all kinds of traces between heaven and earth.
Yet he could find no trace of the Falling Moon Holy Lord, nor any clue concerning that arm.
After spending much of the day divining, even Immortal Lord Siming grew anxious, losing the composure and calm he had displayed upon appearing.
The onlookers around him were even more anxious.
Everyone felt a profound sense of helplessness. If even Immortal Lord Siming could not divine it, how were they supposed to search?
Afterward, Immortal Lord Siming tried divining through clues such as "Su Jian" and "Kunlun Holy Land," but still found nothing.
Clearly, a peerless expert had erased every thread of karma!
At this thought, Immortal Lord Siming hurriedly put away his compass, his face turning deathly pale.
"That person severed every karmic thread. He doesn't want us to find him!"
"You must understand, even I cannot sever or conceal karma so perfectly. That person's strength reaches through heaven and earth! There is nothing I can do!"
Immortal Lord Siming was utterly dejected.
The methods he took such pride in had all failed!
This was an enormous blow to him as well!
Everyone was shaken. If even Immortal Lord Siming said this, just how terrifying was their opponent's strength?
Could it be a supreme Immortal Emperor?
If it truly was an Immortal Emperor, they could do nothing at all!
Because only an Immortal Emperor could contend against an Immortal Emperor!
The few Immortal Emperors of their Falling Moon Holy Land had left the Desolate Immortal Great World tens of millions of years ago. No one knew where they had gone on their travels.
There was simply no way to have them act!
For a time, everyone was at a complete loss.
Elder Ruyan gathered her courage and suggested, "Seniors, this junior believes we can search using the most foolish method. Since they have openly raised the banner of Kunlun Holy Land, that means this sect must exist somewhere in the Desolate Immortal Great World."
"If we mobilize all our connections, we'll eventually find Kunlun Holy Land's actual location!"
Ruyan's suggestion was simple, and not particularly efficient.
After hearing it, the senior figures of the Falling Moon Holy Land all thought it was a very good method.
For now, it was their best option!
Thus, the Falling Moon Holy Land began mobilizing its disciples and connections to conduct a widespread search for Kunlun Holy Land.
At Kunlun Holy Land, the Falling Moon Holy Lord was inwardly terrified, for she felt that all the immortal power within her body had been bound.
She was now nothing more than a mortal!
And before her stood an unfamiliar young man.
"Who exactly are you?"
The Falling Moon Holy Lord demanded coldly.
Ye Chen revealed a cold smile. Already a prisoner, yet she still dares act so proud?
Truly worthy of being the Holy Lord of a holy land!
"Am I not the ruler of Kunlun Holy Land? You spent so long divining, yet now that you've met me, you don't recognize me?"
Ye Chen's smile carried a hint of mockery. At the same time, his gaze openly swept up and down her voluptuous figure.
Such a blatant, overbearing gaze made the Falling Moon Holy Lord extremely uncomfortable.
As the ruler of a holy land, she possessed formidable strength and held great authority. No one had ever dared examine her with such an invasive gaze.
He was the first!
"Stop looking!"
The Falling Moon Holy Lord warned in shame and anger.
Hearing her words, Ye Chen laughed. Does this wretched woman not understand her situation?
She still dares run her mouth?
Smack!
Without mercy, Ye Chen backhanded her hard across the face. Fortunately, he had no intention of killing her. Otherwise, that slap could have annihilated her body and soul!
The slap left the Falling Moon Holy Lord stunned.
The searing pain in her cheek actually made her feel so aggrieved that she wanted to cry!
It was not that she lacked resolve. Rather, she had forgotten how many years it had been since she last felt this genuine, mortal pain.
That single slap brought back the feeling of being a little girl with a low cultivation many years ago.
"Wah..."
The Falling Moon Holy Lord covered her tender, pink cheek, now badly swollen, feeling so wronged she wanted to cry.
"I lack a maid to serve tea and water here. You will attend to me. When I'm happy one day, I'll restore your cultivation."
Ye Chen spoke with a faint smile.
There was nothing she could do. Having fallen into his hands, she had no chance whatsoever to turn the tables. A mighty Holy Lord could only serve someone tea and water?
If word got out, wouldn't people laugh their teeth out?
Once she regained her strength and freedom, she would definitely lead the Falling Moon Holy Land in an attack and make this evil man learn regret!
Elsewhere, in the Azure Heaven Region, at the Gu Household!
Recently, the Gu Household's situation had been far from promising.
Ever since Jin Hao of the Gold and Jade Sect died, the Gold and Jade Sect had frequently come to investigate. Since Gu Yingluo had also disappeared, Jin Hao's murder might have something to do with her.
Today, however, the Gold and Jade Sect could no longer be bothered to investigate. They had sent Jin Xuan to exterminate the entire household and avenge Jin Hao!
Jin Xuan was the most talented disciple in the Gold and Jade Sect apart from Jin Hao!
He was also at the Golden Core Realm Second Layer, and his strength was no less than Jin Hao's.
However, Jin Hao was the sect master's son, so his status had always placed him above Jin Xuan. Now that Jin Hao was dead, Jin Xuan finally got to enjoy all the glory!
What a wonderful death! I ought to properly thank that killer for eliminating my greatest rival. Otherwise, I'd never have had a chance to rise!
Jin Xuan secretly reveled in it.
However, he could not show it on the surface.
If others noticed his happiness, it would certainly enrage Sect Master Jin Ruitian.
Lately, Sect Master Jin Ruitian had been like a crazed beast. No one dared approach him lightly, and neither did Jin Xuan.
Putting aside these private thoughts, Jin Xuan looked down at the Gu Household, protected by layers of formations, and grew somewhat impatient.
"Chen Household Head, Mo Household Head, haven't you eaten? Hurry up and break their household-protecting formation!"
Jin Xuan coldly berated the two middle-aged men beside him.
The Chen Household and Mo Household were lineages similar to the Gu Household, and both household heads had already reached the Nascent Soul Realm.
Yet before Jin Xuan, who was only at the Golden Core Realm Second Layer, they were as obedient as children, doing whatever he told them.
They were not afraid of Jin Xuan, but he represented the will of the Gold and Jade Sect behind him.
They could only cooperate obediently!
Likewise, they had their own selfish motives.
Once the Gu Household was gone, they could swallow up all its resources!
Unfortunately, the Gu Household's protective formation was too sturdy. They had attacked for two days without breaking it.
"Rest assured, Young Master Jin Xuan. We'll definitely break it today!"
The Mo Household Head chuckled coldly and ordered the members of the Mo Household to continue attacking the Gu Household.
Under the combined assault of the Mo Household and Chen Household, no matter how sturdy the Gu Household's sect-protecting formation was, it finally could no longer hold and began to totter on the verge of collapse.
Inside the Gu Household, the Household Head Gu saw that the formation would not last much longer, and his expression grew resolute.
"Men of the Gu Household, this great calamity has befallen us, and it seems we cannot escape it. All we can do is slay our enemies!"
The Household Head Gu also knew that the lineage would certainly face disaster today. Against the joint forces of the Mo Household and Chen Household, they could only grit their teeth and hold on.
Unfortunately, there was still Jin Xuan!
He was the true source of the Gu Household's despair!
How could the tiny Gu Household possibly compare to the enormous Gold and Jade Sect?
The slightest move from them could make the Gu Household disappear!
What a pity. I don't even know whether Yingluo is alive or dead. I hope she's all right!
In the final moment of his life, he thought of his precious daughter.
At that moment, a tremendous boom rang out overhead. The sturdy sect-protecting formation finally collapsed completely, and the experts of the Mo Household and Chen Household charged in.
"Kill!"
Killing intent instantly spread across the Household Head Gu's face. Raising the long saber in his hand, he charged at the people of the two Households.
"Old Gu, your opponents are us!"
The Chen Household Head and the Mo Household Head naturally would not let him slaughter their Lineage members. With a loud laugh, they immediately engaged the Household Head Gu.
The battle that suddenly erupted was utterly brutal, and many people were dying. The Gu Household unleashed unbelievable killing intent, and with their reckless, life-disregarding way of fighting, they actually held off the two Households' frenzied assault!
Just as the two sides fought to the death, a void passage opened high in the sky, and a young man and woman stepped out.
It was none other than Mu Yan and Gu Yingluo!
Seeing that her own Lineage had suffered such a calamity, Gu Yingluo cried out anxiously, "Father!"
The sudden cry caught the attention of both sides locked in their death struggle. Jin Xuan turned to look and smiled happily.
Wasn't this his former dream goddess, Gu Yingluo?
She had actually appeared?
Hehehe!
