The Void Palace was covered with Divine Mark, and its speed was astonishing, almost as if it had transformed into a living thing.
It was like a greedy, insatiable black hole, frantically devouring everything around it that could be swallowed, as if it wanted to tear the entire sky above the Endless Sea apart without mercy.
What truly made Lin Xuan's eyebrows twitch was the teleportation aura he sensed in that void palace.
Teleportation Matrix!
Lin Xuan was shocked.
This teleportation matrix is basically no different from the large array he used when he came to the Eastern Continent Profound Domain.
No.
There are still differences.
The empty palace before them was far grander and more magnificent than the teleportation array they had used before.
And it is even more irresistible.
Almost instantly, Lin Xuan had a thought and was about to tear through space to leave.
With his Saint Realm cultivation, he was already capable of tearing through space even in the nine layers of the Endless Sea.
However, he was fast; the Saint Artifact teleportation hall that had absorbed his Spiritual Power and was hurtling towards him was even faster!
Buzz buzz buzz!
The entire palace trembled, emitting rings of light, and sound waves rippled outwards, instantly freezing everyone who wanted to escape or rush in.
It could be said that everything within a radius of a hundred miles was frozen in place by an extremely terrifying Power of Principle.
The power of time is something that no cultivator in the Eastern Continent can currently contend with.
At the critical moment when everyone was imprisoned, completely unable to move, and only their eyeballs could still tremble with fear or astonishment, the Void Palace had completed its final step.
The vast divine light, like the last glow of dusk, spilled onto the deep blue sea, enveloping the white-clad sword immortal who was frozen in place.
A terrifying suction force emanated from the void palace. Even though Lin Xuan had broken through to the Saint Realm and was capable of fighting even Great Saint, he was shocked to find that he had no power to resist whatsoever. Amidst the surging waves, the divine light finally completely subsided.
When everyone finally snapped out of their daze, they saw that the void palace they had coveted, tested, and besieged in their quest for a way to enter had vanished.
Not only that, but it seems that a piece of the entire Nine Heavens of the Endless Sea was also dug out.
The area around the Ninth-Layer Sea was terribly deserted, with only a group of bewildered cultivators remaining.
Everything else vanished without a trace.
Central Continent, Heaven-Gazing Domain.
Central Continent is a land of abundant resources, but even within the Central Continent, there are distinctions between prosperous and remote areas.
The Heaven-Gazing Domain is a rather barren place.
Especially within the Heaven-Gazing Domain, there are many dangerous places. The Desolate Forest closest to Azure Wave City in the Heaven-Gazing Domain is the most dangerous and the most barren of all.
This place is desolate, with towering mountains and miasma everywhere. Demons roam in droves, and the closer one gets to the inner perimeter, the stronger the demons become. Almost no demon is weaker than Thearch Realm expert.
However, this is still the only way to get from Jinglan City to Azure Wave City.
The journey from Jinglan to Azure Wave requires utmost caution. Crossing the Desolate Forest, although one will not enter the inner perimeter, one will still brush past it, which is extremely dangerous.
One slip and you could be dead!
Therefore, no convoy wants to cause trouble when passing through this area.
Not only would no trouble be caused, but almost everyone would also try their best to remain quiet to avoid attracting the powerful demons in the inner circle.
But at that very moment, a sharp, angry accusation rang out from the silent, Desolate Forest, stirring up ripples and startling several 'weak' birds with only the Venerable realm into flight.
" Fang Yun'er, you can't even protect yourself, what are you pretending to be a good person for?"
"Whether this man lives or dies is none of your business."
"How foolish!"
"Get him off us right now! Who knows if he's a human, Demon Beast, or some kind of demon in disguise? Do you want to get us killed? You idiot! You idiot!"
Inside the Fang Household's convoy, several young men and women, their voices brimming with barely concealed anger, surrounded the white-clad girl atop the dragon-patterned chariot, their faces filled with undisguised disgust.
"Ah, ah, ah--"
The girl, Fang Yun'er, was excitedly gesturing wildly, her eyes filled with pleading and urgency.
However, there was no doubt that she was unable to utter a single word.
Because she was a mute girl.
However, even though she was mute, those who knew her well still understood Fang Yun'er's meaning.
Her meaning was simple.
This person is injured.
He's still alive.
It will die if left here.
We can't ignore this.
Fang Yun'er gestured frantically, a tear rolling down her left eye, hitting the hem of her skirt and spreading out in a blur.
But the more they acted this way, the angrier they became, their eyes like knives, constantly slashing at the figure Fang Yun'er was hiding behind.
The man lying in the carriage, half of his body covered in blood, with faint traces of his chest rising and falling, was incredibly weak, his breathing becoming increasingly cold and labored.
Appearing inexplicably ahead of the Fang Household family's convoy, suddenly appearing with an air of mystery surrounding him, he seemed extremely weak, yet also radiated danger.
This is Desolate Forest; there can be absolutely no mistakes.
Stubborn to the end!
A cold voice, tinged with disgust, rang out, and the expressions of the others surrounding the carriage changed slightly. They stepped back a few paces to make way.
A girl dressed in golden robes walked over with her chin slightly raised. Her gaze was fixed on Fang Yun'er's lips. Looking at those slightly parted lips, the disgust in her eyes became even more undisguised, and her voice became even colder.
"Since you want to stay here so badly, then stay."
"Anyway, your Qilin Dragon Horse is too old and can't keep up with our speed at all."
"I don't want to miss the Lineage competition because of you."
Upon hearing these words, Fang Yun'er's eyes widened, and she subconsciously tried to gesture something. However, the girl in yellow glanced at her casually, as if she were looking at some useless trash or something dirty, and turned away without a second thought.
Almost everyone else was her entourage, following behind her, rolling their eyes at Fang Yun'er mockingly, and then leaving as well.
"Waaaaah--waaah..."
Fang Yun'er sobbed and pleaded, opening her mouth as if to say something, but she couldn't utter a single word.
She could only watch helplessly as the others boarded the convoy's vehicles, leaving her, her old horse, and her old servant behind as if they were discarding trash.
Fang Yun'er stared blankly at the departing convoy and the other members of the Fang Lineage, tears streaming down her face.
Her gestures gradually returned to normal.
She also withdrew the last few words that her fingertips had formed.
She wanted to say that her intuition couldn't be wrong.
We must save him.
Saving him was definitely the right thing to do.
But...
Why?
Everyone has left...
Although it was the first time she had seen this man in white, seeing him covered in blood, it was as if a flash of inspiration struck her, and only the thought of saving him remained in her mind.
Her sixth sense has never been wrong.
But why?
Why doesn't anyone believe in themselves...?
