Chapter 1095: The House Is on Fire
For a moment, Qing Yixuan felt that her path of defection had come to an end.
Because the high priest ultimately stopped them.
Having fended off several waves of pursuers along the way, Qing Yixuan never let her guard down. She simply had no idea that the Grand Elder, with his extraordinary abilities and the powerful artifacts of the dynasty, would so firmly seal off the borders of the divine kingdom!
result.
She saw the frontier; once she left, there was a vast world to explore and much to be done.
But she couldn't do it.
The Grand Elder of the Azure Ancient Divine Kingdom, whom she had never met before and who was someone even she, with her status, could hardly meet, had now surrounded them all by himself.
They stood with their hands behind their backs, and then it felt as if the heavens and earth were pressing down on them.
This power—the ability to cause conceptual fluctuations and dramatic changes in the world with a mere thought—once filled Qing Yixuan with despair.
Even Qing Yixuan found the origins of the Grand Elder quite mysterious. She didn't know much about him, only that he was a relative of the Ancient God Lord Qing Gu, and of a higher generation. Although lifespan could be largely ignored after reaching the Conceptual Realm, the Grand Elder had still lived for a considerable time.
Moreover, their strength is absolutely terrifying!
Just how terrifying it was, Qing Yixuan couldn't comprehend. After all, when the Grand Elder appeared on the border of this divine kingdom, the only one qualified to step forward and resist his might was the old war general, Mo Lou.
The outcome of the confrontation was a foregone conclusion.
In terms of both battle formations and techniques, Mo Lou used every trick in the book, only lacking the desperate move of burning his body and soul. In the end, the battle lasted no more than three moves.
With the third move, the Grand Elder merely raised his hand casually, and Mo Lou's all-out attack collapsed like a candle in the wind!
The Grand Master is toying with them.
Perhaps it was because they hadn't left the Azure Ancient Divine Universe for a long time, and the time spent in seclusion had truly worn down their temperament. In any case, the High Priest could have easily killed them all at once, but he didn't.
Qing Yixuan had already given up.
But things took a turn for the better.
At this moment.
With Qing Yixuan's cultivation level, she could only stand behind the old war general Mo Lou. Through his back, she could barely see the tall, thin figure that stood in front of the Divine Kingdom's border, exuding a pressure as imposing as an insurmountable barrier, even distorting space itself.
Confronting the Grand Elder from afar was another supreme being she did not recognize.
Dressed in a crimson robe, he exuded an imposing aura, and just standing there, he could go toe-to-toe with the Grand Elder in terms of sheer presence.
"Lord Lieyang, you are not dead yet."
The high priest appeared calm, but he was already on high alert.
"Each each other."
The strongest being who confronted him also laughed.
"Hmph, I didn't pay much attention to those rumors before, thinking that you bunch of madmen wouldn't be so idle as to extend your hands into the territory of my Qinggu Divine Kingdom. I didn't expect this..."
"You traitor to civilization, you actually showed up in person."
The high priest stared directly at the other, assessing the other's strength.
This traitor, after the death of the Great Enemy of the Era, was the strongest among the remnants of the rebels. So many years have passed, and he seems to be advancing rather than retreating.
Kind of outrageous.
"I won't go into any more reminiscing; I have nothing to be nostalgic about regarding this ancient civilization."
"I came here for only one thing: to take away this descendant of the God of Destiny."
The supreme expert, known as Lord Lieyang, turned his gaze toward Qing Yixuan.
As that gaze swept over her, Qing Yixuan felt completely transparent, with no secrets left to hide.
"As for you, you should go back and deal with your family matters first. Just now I felt that your dynasty's fortune seemed to have been torn apart."
Lord Lieyang made no attempt to hide his schadenfreude.
When the fortune of the divine kingdom is in trouble, the entire territory of the divine kingdom will be in turmoil. As a retired senior, the Grand Elder is naturally separated from the fortune. Every Elder is the same. However, by the time he sensed that the fortune was in trouble, it was already too late.
Originally, being ordered to hunt down traitors was just a way to stretch my muscles and have some fun with them.
Unexpectedly.
Before they could even exchange a few blows, a fire broke out at their house, and a sworn enemy came from afar, specifically intending to take these traitors away.
The Grand Elder's indifferent gaze was eventually stirred by a hint of hostility.
I haven't felt angry in a long time.
Did you do it?
The High Priest asked, "To go to such lengths for a traitor?"
He didn't know what had happened, but his intuition told him that the rebels were involved.
Upon hearing this, Lord Lieyang shook his head with a hint of regret.
"It's a pity. Although I would like to take credit for this, it wasn't done by us. As for this descendant of the God of Destiny, we'll save as many as we can. After all, our lord has always been compassionate to all people, even those of the God of Destiny."
"No need for further words, I'm taking him away."
"Or are you planning to exchange blows with me and see who is stronger?"
Lord Lieyang asked with a hint of mockery.
This kind of provocation naturally wouldn't fool the Grand Master.
Compared to the life or death of the traitor, the fate of the divine kingdom is far more important. We must hurry back to the ancient capital of Qinggu and find out exactly what happened.
So he left without saying a word.
"Hmph, you run fast."
Lord Lieyang flicked his sleeve and sneered.
If this Grand Elder doesn't run away, he wouldn't mind bringing over a few more of his old buddies to intensify the Grand Elder's power, so that this old nemesis can once again experience the might of the rebels.
"May I ask, senior, are you a member of the rebels?"
Having narrowly escaped the clutches of evil, Qing Yixuan hurriedly asked.
She had vaguely heard of the name Lieyang Jun, who seemed to be a former god-king of the Zhu Fang Divine Kingdom. However, such a thing was a dark history that could not be mentioned by any power that cared about its reputation, and the Zhu Fang Divine Kingdom was no exception.
A dignified god-king, he just betrayed his empire and became a pawn under the command of a great enemy of the era.
It's a disgrace to our ancestors.
"I guess so, that's what we call ourselves anyway."
Lord Lieyang said indifferently, "After all, when we followed our lord, even we considered ourselves to be rebellious traitors to the gods."
Despite saying this, he seemed completely unrepentant, unmoved even by the death and disappearance of his great enemy.
This is even more amazing.
"Alright, let's not worry about this for now. Come back to the Dark Realm with me. We can meet up with another group of people along the way."
Lord Lieyang waved his hand.
He came out of town to pick someone up.
After we've finished picking up the prisoners here, there's another group of "prisoners" who escaped from the Epoch Cemetery that we need to meet up with.
The man leading the group of prisoners was also a member of the rebels. However, after being out of contact for so long, he only managed to bring out more than two hundred people from the Epoch Cemetery, which was rather underwhelming in Lieyangjun's opinion.
"As for what exactly happened in the Azure Ancient Divine Kingdom, we'll find out later."
Lord Lieyang was also very interested.
He knew the civilization of all dynasties, especially the three great divine kingdoms, inside and out.
The existence of a divine kingdom is equivalent to the forces in other civilizations that are directly under the command of the supreme god of that civilization, such as the "Eternal Immortal Court" of the Immortal Path and the "Other Shore" of the Buddhist civilization. They can be considered as "tentacles" extending from the will and power of the gods.
Unless invaded by external enemies, the three great divine kingdoms are invincible within civilization.
Who would lay a hand on them?
