Chapter 1996 - 1997: Turning a Planet into a Prison (Second Update)
Chapter 1996: Chapter 1997: Turning a Planet into a Prison (Second Update)
At this moment, nearly all the high-ranking members of Qianhe Palace were in a frenzy, rushing over immediately.
But to their utter surprise, when they arrived, there was nothing there.
The once extremely clear mark suddenly vanished, replaced by a powerful surge of evil energy.
This left Hua Wuyu and the others utterly baffled.
"Evil cultivators usually don’t appear in a place like this, and why does this planet seem so strange to me?" Hua Wuyu said in a solemn voice.
"You’re right, it feels off to me too, like this celestial body has the feeling of a man in his prime suddenly being drained!" echoed an elder from Qianhe Palace.
As they speculated wildly, the void in the distance suddenly fluctuated violently, and several time-space gates appeared.
Then, people from the Emperor’s Palace, Profound Ming Tomb, and several top sects rushed in imposing manner.
"Xue An, you dog thief, where do you think you’re going... hmm? Why are you here?"
A peak elder from Profound Ming Tomb was roaring in anger, but upon seeing that it was actually Hua Wuyu and others standing in the void, he was taken aback.
It wasn’t just him; the others from several major sects were equally surprised.
"Palace Master Hua, what brings you here?" a strategist from the Emperor’s Palace asked in a deep voice.
Hua Wuyu’s eyes flashed, "Nonsense, we are also here to chase after Xue An."
"Oh...," the strategist responded meaningfully, "So, Palace Master Hua and your team are quite swift!"
In fact, Hua Wuyu was bewildered as well, completely at a loss as to how the Emperor’s Palace and Profound Ming Tomb also got the news.
Seemingly sensing her confusion, the peak elder from Profound Ming Tomb said solemnly, "After we received the news, we came immediately, not expecting that we would still be one step behind Palace Master Hua and her team. Truly embarrassing!"
Only then did Hua Wuyu understand what had happened.
It turns out that just a while ago, something significant occurred in the Multiverse.
This was not surprising; in such a vast universe, it was not unusual for a few earth-shattering events to happen every day.
But this particular event shook the entire universe.
Because nearly all the Starry Sea Sect and Void Sects received a letter at the same time.
The letter’s content was simple, containing only a starry sky coordinate and four words.
Xue An is here!
In an instant, the entire Multiverse was shaken.
All the sects, including Profound Ming Tomb and the Emperor’s Palace, were thrilled by it.
It’s crucial to know that over time, the pressure on the major sects has been increasing daily.
Now, everyone in the Multiverse is aware that the major sects are joining forces to eliminate Xue An.
Being able to unite so many sects just to deal with Xue An is an unprecedented treatment.
But the problem was, despite the grand proclamations and bounty notices, Xue An seemed to have vanished into thin air with not a trace of news.
It felt like being on pins and needles.
In fact, many were already privately discussing whether the actions of the Emperor’s Palace, Profound Ming Tomb, and other sects would succeed.
For these top-tier sects, it would be devastating to their prestige.
After all... with each passing day, more people would lose their respect for them.
In such circumstances, everyone was like sitting on pins and needles, spinning around in anxiety.
So, after receiving this letter, the major sects grabbed it like a lifeline and immediately sprang into action.
Flying over would certainly be too late, so these wealthy sects immediately spared no expense in setting up formations to teleport over directly.
But to their utter surprise, upon arrival, they only saw Hua Wuyu and her team, equally puzzled.
While the sects were staring at each other.
Xue An had already crossed layer upon layer of void, arriving before a Divine Temple.
This Divine Temple was barren and extremely dilapidated, obviously long abandoned.
Xue An’s expression turned peculiar as he took a step inside.
After passing through a corridor that had collapsed in several places, Xue An arrived in a great hall.
This great hall had also been sealed with dust for a long time; the ground was covered with a thick layer of dust, but there was a set of fresh footprints.
Additionally, on the floor was a thick layer of white powder, starkly different from the surrounding dust, looking particularly striking.
Not only that, in the distance on the divine pedestal was a huge statue.
This statue was also long-neglected, but within its features, one could vaguely see the shadow of Xue An.
Xue An stood silently in the center of the hall, and after a long while, he suddenly sighed.
"I never would have thought, to come back here only to see it in such a state!"
Saying this, Xue An flipped his wrist, and a broken sword appeared in his palm, fragmented into several pieces.
Despite this, feeling the presence of this temple, the blade’s tip continued to hum softly.
Gently stroking the sword body, Xue An said softly, "So this is where you were hidden all along, Mo Wang’an!"
Indeed!
The broken sword in Xue An’s hand was Mo Wang’an, and this Divine Temple was where it had been kept hidden after Xue An disappeared.
Until the battle on Earth, when Xue An faced the siege of the Five Elements’ Evil Emperor and Shang Liang alone, Mo Wang’an felt Xue An’s call and broke through the void.
As for the powder on the ground, it was because an unlucky group of tomb robbers stumbled in seeking treasures, only to be shattered by Mo Wang’an’s Sword Qi.
In the blink of an eye, a long time had passed, but upon returning, Mo Wang’an had been broken into pieces.
Xue An’s gaze flickered as he looked around, finally sighing softly, "It’s been so long, I wonder how Xing’er and the others are now."
As soon as he finished speaking, a segment of Mo Wang’an’s sword body suddenly floated up and trembled with urgency, then flew into the distance.
Xue An was slightly taken aback, quickly followed with long strides.
The segment of Mo Wang’an flew swiftly, almost crossing out of the Divine Temple in a blink of an eye, and then flew into the distance.
Soon, the pair—human and sword—crossed a vast distance, coming upon a nearly pure white planet.
Mo Wang’an looped back, circling Xue An twice, then quivered towards the white planet.
Xue An’s expression grew solemn, taking a deep breath he asked, "Are you trying to tell me that Xing’er and the others are on this planet?"
The sword of Mo Wang’an trembled slightly, as if nodding.
Xue An’s expression shifted slightly, then he closed his eyes, reaching out with Divine Sense to probe inside the planet.
A moment later, his body shuddered, and he opened his eyes wide, in them a storm like a snowy blizzard, capable of freezing one’s soul.
"To transform a planet into a cage, imprisoning life and death, preventing any escape! Truly a vicious method!"
