The Western Region Tianheng Star, the Universe Treasure Hall.
The location here is absolutely superb. The entire building is built against the mountain and serves as a prominent landmark within a radius of hundreds of miles, making it a truly expansive site.
With a powerful expert at the Sun Moon Realm presiding over it, the status of the Universe Treasure Hall in the Western Region Tianheng Star is self-evident.
Even if only the Palace Master reached that level.
As a result, the entire Universe Treasure Hall was bathed in the admiration and respect of the surrounding countries day and night.
The hall is filled with powerful figures, and countless young martial artists want to join it, making it the most sought-after cultivation holy land in the Western Region.
And at this moment.
Inside a Side Hall near the mountain peak.
A woman in plain clothes with beautiful features and an elegant demeanor sat behind a wooden table, looking at the terrified old man kneeling in the hall. Her delicate face showed a rare frown.
With a wave of her hand, the expensive, clear Jade Token fell into her palm.
The woman in plain clothes lowered her eyes.
What immediately came into view was Jade Token covered in cracks, and even the wisp of divine light that once represented life within it had long since vanished, as if foreshadowing someone's tragic end.
"You mean, with two elders accompanying him, Liu Ze died on a life-bearing planet where the highest level of martial artist was only at the Mountain Sea Realm?"
After a moment of deathly silence, Nangong Yuechan looked up again, her voice unusually calm, yet it sent a chill down the old man's spine.
Everyone knows the methods and talents of this candidate for Palace Master.
Unlike candidates like Liu Ze, whose success was based on blood ties.
The woman before me had earned her position through sheer ruthlessness and was a peerless genius who had emerged from countless corpses!
The master of the Universe Treasure Hall has been away on official business for several years.
During this period, Nangong Yuechan accomplished many significant events that shook the Western Region, and had already become one of the key figures in the Universe Treasure Hall.
The Palace Master was about to return.
At this critical juncture, she naturally didn't want any mistakes to occur within the hall, as this directly affected her future possibility of becoming the hall master and was also the opportunity for her to advance to the Sun Moon Realm.
But at this very moment, the temple master's only son tragically died outside.
"Lord Nangong"
The old man inside the hall knelt on the ground, sweat pouring down his forehead. Fearing the other party would think it was his fault, he said, "Young Master not only brought two elders of the Mountain Sea Realm with him this time, but also requested many Ninth Tier Treasured Artifacts from the treasury. On that so-called Blue Star... the number of the Mountain Sea Realm warriors is probably no less than three."
At the end, his voice carried a clear hint of confusion.
As a confidant of Young Master Liu.
Before departing, the old man specifically inquired about the combat strength level on Blue Star from the two accompanying elders.
The answer was, "The strongest person on Blue Star right now is only a Mountain Sea Realm martial artist, and he's only at the early stage."
Since that's the case.
How could two elders at the mid-stage of the Mountain Sea Realm, along with Young Master Liu who carried numerous Treasured Artifacts, have died there without any explanation?!
At this thought, the old man in the hall felt a sense of unease, his voice trembling slightly. "Lord Nangong... I dare to speculate that on that Blue Star... there might be beings at the Late Stage of Mountain Sea Realm!"
Late Stage of Mountain Sea Realm.
Even within the Universe Treasure Hall, he would be second only to the omnipotent Palace Master and the few Supreme Elder!
For someone as insignificant as him, he could definitely be considered a powerful figure of his time.
But just because he was afraid didn't mean the woman in plain clothes in front of him was afraid too.
"..."
Nangong Yuechan's eyes flickered slightly.
Three Peak Martial Artist of the Mountain Sea Realm, one of whom is even at a later stage?
It doesn't sound like a big Trouble.
But for Liu Ze, who was only at the Hegemony Realm, it was absolutely a catastrophe.
Nangong Yuechan asked calmly, "What was he doing there? Why didn't I know about it before?"
"This..."
The old man's body trembled. After hesitating for a moment, he still forced himself to reply, "It is said that an unbelievable Martial Dao prodigy has emerged on Blue Star. The young master suspects that he probably possesses Supreme Treasure, which is why he risked going there..."
Upon hearing this, the woman in white first frowned slightly, then relaxed.
No wonder.
She seemed to sigh.
If there are such powerful figures and temptations on that Blue Star, then the young man in brocade robes did not die unjustly.
However, this action by the other party was clearly intended to cause her Trouble.
He's truly a spoiled brat who's all show and no substance, completely disregarding the consequences of his actions, and will likely never achieve anything in his life.
The mysterious Cave Abode Tianchi Sea is about to open. As the burial place of Half-step Great Power, it may contain the supreme method to reach the Sun Moon Realm.
Nangong Yuechan would definitely not let this opportunity slip by, and planned to set off today.
However, if this matter is not handled properly, the temple master might take his anger out on him.
Thinking of this, she calmly put away the Jade Token: "I remember that the [Ink Fox Ring] on Liu Ze's hand is a treasured storage Supreme Treasure in the palace. The Dao Runes engraved on it even have a location tracking function."
"Don't spread this around. Let's pinpoint the location of Blue Star first."
The fact that the young master of the Universe Treasure Hall was arbitrarily killed in the outside world is a terrible thing to say, and it could even damage the palace's once-prosperous reputation in the Western Region.
If this is to be leaked, it should at least be done after the perpetrator is brought to justice, so that it can serve as a warning to others.
Nangong Yuechan's plan was very thorough.
"My lord, the location of Blue Star is difficult to pinpoint..."
The old man frowned deeply, gritted his teeth, and revealed everything he knew. "The location of the [Ink Fox Ring] is constantly changing at a rapid pace. It seems someone has boarded the young master's [Silver Sky Shuttle]."
"Where does he want to go?" Nangong Yuechan paused slightly as she stood up.
The old man hurriedly kowtowed. "Judging from the current trajectory, the person holding the [Ink Fox Ring] has already crossed that Star Sea, and as for their destination... it seems to be pointing directly to Tianheng's location!"
However, as soon as he finished speaking...
The atmosphere inside the entire Side Hall froze instantly.
Nangong Yuechan slowly rose, chuckling softly as if talking to herself:
"Pointing straight to the heavens?"
Without a sound, the temperature in the air suddenly dropped to the extreme. Although no ice appeared, the entire hall was so cold that even the demigod elder at the Dao Observation Realm felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave!
The Maid on both sides were also trembling all over, and uncontrollably knelt down on the ground.
"He wants to... challenge me to Arena at the Universe Treasure Hall?"
This peerless woman, renowned throughout the Western Region, now spoke with a chilling Killing Intent in her voice:
"Since he's here, let's not let him leave."
Upon hearing this...
The old man, barely suppressing the fear rising in his heart, trembled as he said, "Judging from his current speed, he will most likely arrive at Tianheng Star before the opening of the Tianchi Sea Cave Abode, but his destination is still uncertain..."
The speed of that [Silver Sky Shuttle] is no joke.
Even martial artists at the Mountain Sea Realm would mostly be left standing still and staring helplessly at a fully activated flying shuttle.
Until it is fully landed, no one knows where it will go.
"Then let's wait for him to land."
The smile on Nangong Yuechan's lips was devoid of any warmth as she said, "Pass on my order to send a Supreme Elder out of seclusion. From now on, keep a close watch on his movements and find his exact whereabouts."
"And then?" the old man asked instinctively.
"Force them to reveal the coordinates of Blue Star, then kill them."
Nangong Yuechan's voice was so calm it sent chills down one's spine.
The Universe Treasure Hall has only two Supreme Elders, both of whom are at the Peak of Mountain Sea Realm.
Bringing out any one of these statues would cause quite a stir in the Western Region.
Thinking of this, the old man was filled with astonishment.
This Lord Nangong... really doesn't intend to leave the other party any way out.
But this also makes it difficult to make mistakes.
He immediately nodded in agreement, then took the tossed warrant and quickly left the area.
"..."
Until the hall returned to calm.
The woman in plain clothes said calmly, "Go and prepare the manpower. Once I return from the Cave Abode, we will set off directly for Blue Star."
A puzzled voice suddenly echoed from the void, "My lord, could this matter be...?"
"Go do it."
The woman in plain clothes spoke in a cold tone that left no room for argument.
Only the useless need to make choices.
A genius like her naturally wants both the position of Palace Master and the opportunities in the Cave Abode!
As she finished speaking...
The person in the void dared not utter another word, and repeatedly agreed with a hint of fear.
"..."
Nangong Yuechan ignored her completely and walked straight out of the side Side Hall.
For her now.
Compared to a native "monster" from a remote planet, the mysterious Cave Abode dwelling of the Tianchi Sea is much more attractive.
As for the subsequent plan to massacre Blue Star.
It was merely a necessary means for her to consolidate her position.
