As the days passed, the people waiting outside gradually began to grow worried.
"I wonder how far they've made it by now..." Liu Tiandao said as he looked at the Space Rifts in the sky, which had slowly healed considerably, and at the faintly visible buildings within.
Clearly, although the two people he had sent in were both quite strong, Liu Tiandao himself had little confidence that they could reach the final Heavenly Emperor's Mausoleum.
Mandala was equally uncertain about it.
Moreover, she was even more worried about whether Jiu You could find her true body. That Holy Demon Emperor Lu Huan would certainly interfere. Given his ruthlessness, there might well be an even more dangerous scheme waiting for Jiu You and the others...
Among those present, Liu Bai was probably the only one unaffected by such concerns.
After all, his goal this time was the entire Ancient Heavenly Palace. So long as he succeeded, everything inside would become his. Even if Jiu You and the others failed their mission, it would not amount to much.
Even in the worst-case scenario, even if none of those objectives were achieved, the Ancient Heavenly Palace could not possibly vanish back beyond space again. They would have plenty of time to complete those objectives anew.
As for whether the Ancient Heavenly Palace might be destroyed in the demonic calamity caused by the Nine Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor... Liu Bai might truly have worried about that before, but ever since seeing Lin Jing, he no longer did.
Liu Bai did not believe that the Martial Ancestor would allow his daughter to enter such danger without making any preparations.
Forget a Nine Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor that had only just awakened—even one at his peak might not necessarily be a match for the Martial Ancestor.
