The death of Xuanyuan Ming.
This undoubtedly served as a wake-up call for Xu Yeming, who had previously neglected to be wary of the Xuanyuan Clan.
Xu Yeming looked at Xuanyuan Zixi and smiled, "It seems the alliance between the Xu Clan and the Xuanyuan Clan is still open to discussion."
Xuanyuan Zixi shrugged and smiled faintly, "Brother Xu Luo, please forgive me. This is merely Xuanyuan Ming's personal action and has nothing to do with the Xu Luo Xuanyuan Clan. I urge you to consider the bigger picture."
Xu Chen sneered, "What a shameless individual act! When did the sword cultivators of the Xuanyuan Clan become so brazen?"
Xuanyuan Zixi wasn't angered by Xu Chen's bluntness. His expression remained calm as he said in a deep voice, "When faced with such a life-or-death crisis, most people would try their best to grab onto any lifeline they could find. I imagine Xuanyuan Ming is no exception... However, this is indeed insufficient for a sword cultivator. It just shows that Xuanyuan Ming's cultivation on the path of sword cultivation is still lacking."
"Since they've tarnished the reputation of our Xuanyuan Clan, then Xuanyuan Ming deserves to die." Xuanyuan Zixi uttered the most chilling words in the calmest tone, looking at " Xu Luo " and smiling faintly, "Don't you agree, Brother Xu Luo?"
Xu Yeming stood above, in a place beyond the reach of the vortex's gravity, and sneered, "You'd better watch yourselves to avoid being swallowed by the behemoth. You still have the energy to explain so much?"
Does he think he's an idiot?
However, with Xu Yeming taking the lead in trying it out...
Everyone understood that once they reached Xu Yeming's level, they could escape the vortex's control.
Whether it was the members of the Xuanyuan Clan or Huang Xin, Han Daoxuan, Xu Chen, they all used the same method as Xu Yeming, relying on the recoil force and the enhancement of the pills to burst out of the attraction range at an explosive speed!
This method requires very strict timing control.
But... who among those present is simple-minded?
but.
Other practitioners in other directions were not so fortunate.
With no one able to find a way to break through, eight people were torn to pieces by the giant beast.
The Golden Scale Sect suffered the most severe losses, losing three members.
As everyone escaped the vortex's pull, they left the area.
The pursuit by the giant beast ended there.
"No more giant beasts ambushing us?" Xu Chen looked at the vast blue sea, seeing no dark figures appear, and couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be that we've weathered the crisis?"
Xuanyuan Zixi frowned. "That's unlikely."
"Let's remove 'should'," Xu Yeming sneered.
I don't believe that old man isn't up to something!
Even if there is no crisis afterward, they will deliberately create some crisis, even if it is aimed at Xu Yeming.
As expected.
He had just finished saying that.
The sea began to churn again.
Suddenly, tornadoes appeared out of nowhere!
Dense waterspouts shot up from beneath everyone's feet, forcing Xu Yeming and his group to constantly dodge.
But the waterspout, like a leech, kept rising along with everyone's movements.
In an instant, the entire sea area was covered by waterspouts.
Some groups of people were even forced to disperse.
but.
The waterspout caused no casualties.
It's more like someone deliberately wanted to separate them...
Why did you have to separate?
Xu Yeming dodged the waterspout while pondering.
It must be to increase the difficulty... Well, perhaps it's because their alliance has already met the conditions for clearing the game.
Xu Yeming recalled what they had said and done before.
Could it be that what they were discussing earlier meant they were close to meeting the requirements for clearing the game?
However, just as Xu Yeming was pondering...
On the other side, an aura emanating from the direction of the Xuanyuan Clan caught Xu Yeming's attention.
As Xuanyuan Zixi drew his sword to dodge a series of swirling sea tornadoes, the chilling aura emanating from him gave Xu Yeming a sense of familiarity, as if he had sensed it somewhere before.
Xu Yeming frowned slightly.
This aura suggests they haven't directly confronted him; otherwise, they wouldn't have failed to recognize him.
When was that?
But just then...
Suddenly, darkness enveloped Xu Yeming.
Before anyone could react, all the light vanished in an instant!
From an outsider's perspective
Xu Chen, Xuanyuan Zixi, Huang Xin, Han Daoxuan, and Jin Wuhen witnessed the giant beast swallow " Xu Luo " whole.
The expressions on everyone's faces varied.
Some people looked pleased, while others looked shocked and angry.
Huang Xin and Han Daoxuan were wondering how they would explain themselves when they returned.
The Xuanyuan Clan and their entourage wore smiles on their faces.
It seems they don't need to intervene.
Xu Chen's expression was one of surprise and uncertainty.
But in my heart I was thinking, "He died so suddenly? How could that be?"
At a time when everyone had different thoughts.
Xu Yeming looked around. It was dark all around, but he could hear the sound of the sea flowing.
It was as if a barrier had separated them.
But in front of him stood an altar.
On the altar, a skeleton sat cross-legged.
It seems like a long time has passed.
Yet the skeleton remained perfectly intact, even radiating a translucent white light like mutton fat jade.
"Where is this?" Xu Yeming slowly approached, a sense of doubt in his heart.
Where do you think this is?
The sound that suddenly came from the center of the altar made Xu Yeming quickly take two steps back, spread his arms in a defensive stance, and the paintbrush appeared in his hand.
"What the hell is talking?"
"A ghost? I can certainly be called a ghost now..." The skeleton at the center of the altar slowly rose at this moment.
The moment he stood up.
The altar shone with emerald light, which transformed into streams of light that gathered around the skeleton, its veins and flesh slowly recovering!
Not long after.
Under Xu Yeming's wary gaze, he transformed into a dashing man in white.
Holding a scroll, the man smiled as he looked at Xu Yeming before him and said, "The Imperial Advisor predicted that tens of millions of years from now, someone would come before me today. That person would have the power to change the world. It seems the Imperial Advisor was right; he has indeed foreseen the secrets of heaven!"
Xu Yeming was taken aback upon hearing this.
Imperial Preceptor?
Predicting what will happen tens of millions of years from now?
Is this really possible?
To be able to do that would probably require extraordinary abilities, wouldn't it?
Xu Yeming cupped his hands and asked, "May I ask who you are, senior?"
The man said, " The Twelve Envoys of the Chaos Divine Dynasty, the Desolate Beast Envoy. As for their names... hehe, the Twelve Envoys don't have names, only titles."
Xu Yeming seemed to want to ask something.
The Desolate Beast Envoy his hand and said, "Put aside what you want to ask for now. Once you obtain the Sun and Moon Token, you will know the answers to your questions about the Chaos Divine Dynasty. As for the Grand Preceptor, I don't know either. The Grand Preceptor is the most mysterious person in the Chaos Divine Dynasty."
"Now, I only retain a fragment of my will; even my soul has vanished. You should now accept my inheritance."
Xu Yeming asked in confusion, "Why did you choose me, senior?"
The Desolate Beast Envoy his head. "I didn't know before, but... I do know now."
"Do you possess the Classic of Mountains and Seas?"
