Was that youth the one who touched the taboo? Jiang Xueyi's grief-stricken cry
"As one of the Desolate Domain's five pinnacle powers, the Jun Clan should have had Divine Soul Realm experts too, shouldn't it?"
"And they were wiped out so easily by a youth... that seems unlikely, doesn't it? How could a heavenly pride like that appear in the Desolate Domain?"
Standing behind the two terrifying elders, a middle-aged man in black robes spoke quietly, doubt in his tone!
"They were indeed wiped out! I received word of it too. They say that youth was only at the early Divine Power Realm, and he stormed the Jun Clan alone!"
"He fought for three days and three nights. His strength was terrifying, and he effortlessly slew that Jun Clan ancestor at the Divine Soul Realm middle stage!"
"I originally intended to find time to come investigate whether it was true, but with the Heavenly Pride Battle approaching, I haven't been able to get away!"
Another figure spoke. His face bore a blade scar, his gaze was fathomless, and the presence rippling around him was unfathomable and terrifying!
"The early Divine Power Realm against the Divine Soul Realm middle stage! And he effortlessly slew someone at the Divine Soul Realm middle stage? Impossible! Not even those heavenly prides of our Heavenly Moon Commandery possess such terrifying combat strength!"
Behind the two elders, another venerable elder spoke, his voice filled with unparalleled shock, his every word steeped in disbelief!
This was far too unreal. He truly found it hard to believe that a Divine Power Realm cultivator could overcome a gap of more than an entire major realm and easily slay his foe!
How could he believe it?
If such a heavenly pride truly appeared, how would he be any different from a taboo?
Wouldn't that be a tragedy for countless heavenly prides?
Wait?
A taboo?
He drew in a sharp breath!
"Could such a monster, capable of overcoming more than an entire major realm to easily slay his foe... could he be connected to that existence who touched the taboo?"
A terrifying venerable elder suddenly spoke, doubt and boundless shock in his voice!
At those words, heaven, earth, and the void fell silently still, the atmosphere inexplicably frightening!
Pair after pair of deep, unfathomable eyes settled on the venerable elder who had spoken!
At that moment, even though this venerable elder was an existence at the great perfection of the Divine Soul Realm, he felt a profound weight and unease!
"That isn't impossible. With such terrifying combat strength, he could indeed have some connection to the word taboo!"
"But... how do we explain that supreme voice? His master? Or his Dao protector?"
Shangguan Xiongtian spoke after hearing the venerable elder's words, his brow deeply furrowed, his expression serious and grave!
If that youth was the one who touched the taboo, then... what about the owner of that supreme voice?
Who was he, to battle the rules of heaven and effortlessly obliterate that Heavenly Thought...?
Within the Bright Moon Divine Dynasty.
When had such a figure appeared?
Someone from beyond the divine dynasty?
Or perhaps... that place?
After a moment's thought, Shangguan Xiongtian looked toward two of the nine venerable elders standing there and instructed them:
"Elder Qu! Elder Peng! Go find people from the Desolate Domain's other three major powers and inquire about that youth!"
His words had barely fallen.
But just then, the thousands present seemed to sense something, and all looked into the distance!
Hum!
The next moment, a warship tens of thousands of zhang in size came speeding toward them, peerless spatial fluctuations constantly spilling from it!
"Father! You're here too?"
An instant later, a voice filled with surprise and delight rang out from the warship!
"Feiyue?"
"Little Feiyue?"
"Why has that girl Feiyue come?"
Hearing this woman's voice, Shangguan Xiongtian and the thousands of other terrifying existences were all surprised!
Hum!
Almost in the blink of an eye, the warship tens of thousands of zhang in size reached them and hovered nearby, surging spatial power swirling in every direction!
The next instant, several figures flew out. They were naturally Shangguan Feiyue, Su Fan, Jiang Xueyi, Elder Mo, Xiao Tao, and the others who had come from the Profound Domain!
"Father! Grandpa Qingxuan! Grandpa Cangxuan! Elder Qu! Elder Peng! Elder Huo..."
"Commandery Governor! Left Protector, Right Protector..."
Shangguan Feiyue, Elder Mo, and Xiao Tao flew before Shangguan Xiongtian and the others, greeting Shangguan Xiongtian, the Left and Right Protectors, and the nine venerable elders one by one!
Elsewhere.
"How could this happen?"
"How could this happen?"
"How could this happen?"
Looking at the ruins below, that land of destruction, Jiang Xueyi's face turned bloodlessly pale, her expression dazed and filled with endless disbelief! Her lips kept repeating, "How could this happen?"
Her delicate body staggered, utterly weak, as though she would plunge from the sky the very next moment. Fortunately, Su Fan was beside her, holding her in his arms. Otherwise, she would probably have already fallen from the sky!
"Aaaah!!!!"
"Father! Mother!"
"How could this happen? How could this happen? The sect was perfectly fine! Why has it suddenly become like this?"
"Who did this? Who on earth did this? Aaaah!!! Who was it????"
"Aaaah!!!!!"
"Who on earth was it?????"
Jiang Xueyi broke free of Su Fan and suddenly threw her head back, letting out a grief-stricken roar. A surging, terrifying presence erupted from her delicate body, and in that instant, boundless killing intent and endless disbelief burst forth in her beautiful eyes, thick with bloodshot veins!
The once majestic, magnificent sect had still been perfectly fine when she left just days ago! Why had it become a land of death and ruins upon her return?
The pungent stench of blood filled the sky, while ruins, bones, and severed arms littered the ground!
Why had it become like this in just a few days?
Her Star Divine Sect had always kept to its own affairs. Who on earth had it offended?
"Aaaah!!!"
Another roar tore from her, heart-rending and filled with endless fury, a grief-stricken cry hurled at the heavens. Jiang Xueyi turned into a streak of light and plunged toward that land of death below, those ruins, that place of sorrow, hell, and bones!
"Xueyi!"
"Xueyi!"
Seeing his beloved cry out in such grief, Su Fan's heart was likewise filled with endless anguish, as though hundreds of millions of ants were tearing into it, a pain beyond words!
Without hesitation!
He hurried after Jiang Xueyi!
"Who is she?"
"A surviving orphan of this sect?"
Looking at that stunning figure who was screaming at the heavens, utterly stricken with grief, Shangguan Xiongtian was somewhat surprised and asked his precious daughter.
"Her name is Jiang Xueyi. I met both her and the youth beside her, Su Fan, in the Profound Domain's Land of Divine Fall."
"Earlier, I encountered a gang of petty villains. I underestimated them and carelessly fell victim to their Bewildering Powder! Luckily, those two saved me, or your daughter would probably have suffered!"
As Shangguan Feiyue looked at the stunning figure below, utterly stricken with grief, she too felt an indescribable ache in her heart. After spending these past few days together, she had long since come to regard both of them as friends!
