Inside the main hall, the clan elder arrived quickly.
"You should know about the matter concerning the third son, right?" Heavenly Revelation Emperor said.
"Hmm, does Your Majesty wish for the Seventh Prince to return?"
"Half a month has passed, have you managed to contact the Seventh Elder?"
The elder shook his head and said, "I've already sent people to look for the seventh brother, but there's still no news."
Upon hearing this, Heavenly Revelation Emperor frowned slightly, a sense of unease rising in his heart.
The seventh clan elder even used the protective jade pendant he himself had given him, so he must have encountered a formidable enemy.
He wasn't worried at first, since even if the other party encountered a King Realm Seventh Grade expert, with his protective jade pendant, they could escape unscathed.
But it's a bit strange that so much time has passed and there hasn't been any news from them.
Just then, the elder paused, a jade talisman in his hand lit up, and his expression gradually became solemn.
"Your Majesty, news has just arrived from your subordinates that they have located information about the Seventh Prince in Guangwu City, which is under the jurisdiction of Heavenly Vault King."
"A month ago, a spatial rift suddenly appeared Guangwu City, from which a powerful Sin Beast emerged."
"That Sin Beast gathered a large number of Sin Beast from the surrounding area, attempting to breach Guangwu City."
"Seventh Prince must have just happened to be passing by when he engaged in battle with that Sin Beast. Ultimately, he was forced to use his protective jade pendant. Many people in Guangwu City saw His Majesty's projection, so this matter is probably true."
The elder clansman said gravely, "After the Sin Beast was killed, Seventh Brother also disappeared. My subordinates have searched for half a month but have not found any trace of him. I'm afraid..."
The elder did not continue speaking, but Heavenly Revelation Emperor was well aware of his meaning.
This made Heavenly Revelation Emperor's face darken.
Although the Seventh Elder's strength wasn't particularly high, only at the King Realm First Grade, the opponent was the Empire's only King Rank alchemist.
The reason why the Heavenly Revelation Empire has been stronger than the other two great empires over the years is because of the Seventh Elder, a King Rank alchemist.
But now the other party is dead?
How could he accept this? In some ways, the Seventh Elder was even more important than the Great Elder.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to the trouble of making a protective jade pendant for the Seventh Elder; he was just worried that something might happen to him.
"Since the body of the Seventh Elder has not yet been found, we cannot draw any conclusions."
Heavenly Revelation Emperor took a deep breath and said, "You go there personally. You must see him alive or dead. If the Seventh Elder has been murdered, this matter must be thoroughly investigated!"
"Yes."
The elders of the clan also understood the importance of this matter.
Even though Lao Qi has been killed, there are still a large number of pills on his body, and these pills must be brought back.
He didn't think the Seventh Clan was constantly being secretly harmed by other King Realm experts.
After all, he was at Heavenly Vault Pass at the time and knew that Heavenly Vault King had not left, so it was impossible for the other party to have done it.
As for other King Realm experts, only those at the King Realm Eighth Grade or above could kill the Seventh Elder. However, there are only a handful of King Realm Eighth Grade experts in the three great empires, and they would not leave their territory without permission.
Watching the departing figure of the elder, Heavenly Revelation Emperor's face remained gloomy.
He truly could not accept the incident involving the Seventh Elder, as it was something that would shake the very foundation of the royal family.
Compared to that, the life or death of the Third Prince was of little importance.
After all, sons can be born, but King Rank alchemists are not so easy to cultivate.
"Now we can only train new King Rank alchemists as soon as possible, otherwise the nation's strength will inevitably decline over time."
Names flashed through Heavenly Revelation Emperor's mind; these were all Mythic Rank alchemists of the royal family.
Training King Rank alchemist is not an easy task.
Under normal circumstances, when the Seventh Elder passes away, he will pass on the title of King Rank Alchemist, greatly reducing the difficulty of training him.
But now that the seventh clan elder has suddenly died, it means that they have to start training him from scratch.
First, we need to help these Mythic Rank alchemists break through to the King Realm, and then consume a large amount of rare and precious materials to let them try to refine King Rank pills.
If they're lucky, a King Rank alchemist might emerge from this group.
The greater chance is that this group of people will all fail to be trained, in which case all the resources invested will have been wasted, and a new group of people will have to be selected and trained.
This process continues until King Rank alchemist is born.
Even the royal family would find it difficult to sustain such a drain.
This is why the Heavenly Revelation Empire has only had one King Rank Alchemist over the years.
So even if the Seventh Elder might be dead, he still wants the First Elder to find his body. Perhaps the Seventh Elder left behind the legacy of King Rank alchemist before his death.
Even without any inheritance, the other party's alchemy notes are extremely valuable and can greatly reduce the difficulty of training new King Rank alchemists.
No matter what happens in the outside world, it has no effect on Lin An, who is in Land of Rules.
The rich rules of heaven and earth allowed him to cultivate at an extremely fast pace, and his realm was also rising rapidly.
Besides that, it didn't interfere with earning attribute points.
The Diamond Tier Spirit Realm under the control of the Heavenly Vault Army have already been accelerated to their limit, and it is impossible to accelerate them further in the short term.
Therefore, even though the Epic Realm and Spirit Realm are already accelerating, Lin An's rate of acquiring attribute points has not slowed down.
Although Zheng Tang didn't know why Lin An was doing this, she wouldn't ask; she would just follow orders.
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, more than two months have passed since Lin An entered the Land of Rules, and he will be leaving in a few days.
On this day, Lin An broke through his cultivation level again, reaching the King Realm Seventh Grade.
"I've reached the seventh rank; there's not enough time left for me to break through again."
Lin An secretly regretted it; if he had stayed in the Land of Rules for another three months, breaking through to the King Realm Ninth Grade would definitely have been no problem.
Once he leaves the Land of Rules, his cultivation speed will no longer be so fast; breaking through to the first rank in a few months would be considered quite good.
"Perhaps we can venture deeper into the Sin Abyss, slay more King Realm Sin Beast, and then refine them using the Spirit-Devouring Ring."
Lin An, if he had had enough King Realm Sin Beast in his Spirit-Devouring Ring before, he estimated that he would still have no problem reaching the King Realm Eighth Grade at this time.
Lin An didn't waste the remaining few days, continuing his cultivation and improving as much as he could.
Four days later, Lin An Anxin sensed that his time in the Land of Rules was up.
As an irresistible spatial force appeared, Lin An's vision went black. When he opened his eyes again, he was back in Heavenly Vault Pass.
