After realizing that Yuan had completely disappeared, Xi ili imdiately transford and approached Grand Elder Lu, who was stunned by her transformation.
"You bastards! What did you do to him?! Where did you take him?!"
Xi ili grabbed the stunned Grand Elder Lu by the collar of her robes and roared, disregarding the difference in their cultivation.
"It's a dragon!" The people there were incredibly excited to see soone from the Dragon Clan there, as dragons were incredibly rare within the Fourth Heaven.
"W-wait! We aren't responsible for the rift!" Grand Elder Lu exclaid, clearly nervous about Xi ili's identity.
"Bullshit! You were the ones who attacked him!" Xi ili refused to believe that they were not responsible for Yuan's disappearance.
"Please let her go. Although we attacked him, we didn't create that rift." Grand Elder Tang grabbed Xi ili's wrist and spoke with a deep frown.
"I swear on my soul that we didn't purposefully create that rift! This is the first ti I've seen or heard of anything like that, too!" Grand Elder Lu shouted.
However, Xi ili refused to let her go.
Suddenly, another voice resounded, "Let her go. They're not responsible." Xi ili turned around to see Kelan descending toward them.
"Che." Xi ili reluctantly released Grand Elder Lu, who quickly stepped back.
"Who are you?" Grand Elder Tang asked Kelan with a worried frown. Just by Kelan's formidable aura alone, he could tell that he was not soone they could offend.
Kelan, who made a swift return after noticing Yuan's presence had disappeared, revealed his Faction Symbol and said, "I am Kelan from the faction Celestial Overlords." "The Celestial Overlords!?" The Grand Elders were greatly bewildered by this information.
Although the Celestial Overlords primarily operated within the Upper Heavens, their reputation and influence were imnse enough to reach the Fourth Heavens.
'What the hell is such a bigshot doing in the Fourth Heaven?! And he's even a Commander!' Grand Elder Tang cried inwardly.
As mighty and influential as the Three Grand Sects were, they were no different than ants before the Celestial Overlords. With just a single command, even soone at the rank of Commander like Kelan could wipe out the Three Grand Sects, and nobody would even question them. That was how powerful the Celestial Overlords were.
"This humble junior greets the Commander! Please forgive my earlier disrespect!" Grand Elder Tang quickly bowed, his tone laden with reverence. Grand Elder Lu imdiately followed suit, mirroring his deference.
Seeing that Kelan hadn't responded, Grand Elder Tang quickly continued, "Please let explain—"
Kelan imdiately interrupted, "You don't need to explain anything. I have been watching from the beginning, so I understand the situation fully."
"Do you know why Yuan disappeared?! If he was taken by the rift, where did it take him?!" Xi ili urgently asked Kelan, her voice filled with desperation.
'That young man has connections with the Celestial Ovelords?! We're dood!' Elder Hao cried inwardly after connecting the dots.
Kelan looked at Xi ili and responded, "I don't know where he was taken, but I have so speculations."
"Although nobody really knows where the magical beasts co from, people have speculated that they co from another world—one that is filled with endless magical beasts. As for why they're being sent to the Nine Heavens, we don't have the slightest clue."
"The rift that took Yuan… I have heard about it before. They rarely appear when an 'Endless Beast Den' is destroyed. Many people have entered such a rift to explore the unknown and find out where the magical beasts are coming from, but nobody has returned so far, and people eventually stopped entering them."
"What?! Nobody has managed to return?! Are you certain about that?! But Yuan—!" Xi ili didn't dare to finish her sentence.
Kelan understood what Xi ili was trying to say and gritted his teeth in anger. He was tasked to protect Yuan and failed miserably so quickly.
"I'll need to contact my superiors. Maybe they will know what to do…" Kelan eventually said.
"Y-your superiors…?" The Grand Elders swallowed nervously after hearing such words.
The only ones ranking above a Commander are Overlords and Celestial Overlords. Should an individual of such stature descend to the Fourth Heaven, it would undoubtedly provoke an imnse commotion.
"What should I do…?" Xi ili asked.
"Just stay here and wait for my return. Who knows. Maybe Yuan will return while I am away." Kelan said before disappearing into the horizon.
"I-I must contact my Sect Leader!" Grand Elder Tang exclaid, his entire being soaked in sweat.
"M-, too!" Grand Elder Lu said.
Shortly after the two Grand Elders left the scene, Grand Elder Du woke up from his slumber.
Seeing this, Elder Hao imdiately rushed to his side.
"W-what happened to ? Where am I…?" Grand Elder Du looked at his surroundings with a dazed face.
Grand Elder Du quickly ca to his senses and jumped up, "Where's that little bastard?!"
"Grand Elder! We have an ergency!" Elder Hao cried out loud once he reached Grand Elder Du's side.
"Huh? Elder Hao? What's the matter?"
"We need to return to the sect and speak with the Sect Leader!"
"Why? What happened?" "I don't have the ti to explain! We need to leave imdiately!" Elder Hao didn't say anything else and flew away.
Grand Elder Du looked around but couldn't see either Yuan or the other two Grand Elders.
'They must have dealt with that little bastard and left already.'
With that in mind, he also left the scene shortly after.
The people training at the Endless Beast Den had to stop their training because no more magical beasts spawned, not to ntion their situation.
In the blink of an eye, the Endless Beast Den was devoid of people, falling completely silent for the first ti in thousands of years.
anwhile, after being sucked in by the rift, Yuan found himself in an unfamiliar territory.
"Where…am I?" he muttered in a dazed voice as he surveyed his surroundings.
