Under the gazes of the crowd, Luo Xiu and Master Ping flew straight toward the Green Lotus Palace nestled in the valley.
Unexpectedly, just as the two were about to enter, they were stopped by several cultivators from the Celestial Realm.
"This palace is now the property of the various powers of the Celestial Realm! You riffraff from the Mortal Realm have no right to set foot here!"
"Take one more step forward, and you will be killed without rcy!"
The leader was a short-haired woman nad Yang Fei, from the Celestial Realm's Shattered Star City. She had been left behind with the explicit orders to guard this place and prevent others from entering.
Yang Fei looked down on Luo Xiu and Master Ping as if they were no different from ants.
Luo Xiu sized up the arrogant, condescending woman before him and found the situation amusing. My palace, the property of the Celestial Realm? Since when?
Master Ping smiled faintly. "Missy, I'll give you one more chance to rephrase that."
Hearing this, Yang Fei's gaze hardened, and she said coldly, "Are you Mortal Realm scum deaf? Can't you understand ?"
"If you don't want to die, then scram! I don't have ti to waste on you!"
Master Ping shrugged and glanced at Luo Xiu beside him, suddenly asking, "You or , kid?"
Luo Xiu stated flatly, "I have no interest in such rabble."
Master Ping chuckled. "As if I'm interested. Rabble like this isn't even worthy of dying by my hand."
Luo Xiu sighed and stepped forward. "Fine, I'll handle it."
He was in a hurry to get inside and find Luo Ying and Luo Xian, and he didn't want to waste any more ti here.
As Yang Fei watched Luo Xiu approach, an inexplicable sense of oppression suddenly washed over her. Before she could react, a lightning-fast iron fist had already slamd into her stomach.
A mont later, Yang Fei was half-kneeling on the ground, blood dripping from her mouth and nose. Her face was pale, and she presented a miserable sight. The other Celestial Realm cultivators behind her were so frightened they didn't dare make a sound. That suffocating pressure made them realize the truth of their situation. If they attacked now, their fate would be even worse than Yang Fei's!
"If you have the guts... then kill ! Shattered Star City... will never let you go! They will hunt you down to the bitter end!" Yang Fei raised her head, glaring furiously at Luo Xiu and Master Ping.
"Shattered Star City, is it?"
The corner of Luo Xiu's mouth curled up. He kicked her, sending her flying. "I'll be waiting for you to take your revenge."
「Inside the Green Lotus Palace」
Walking over the scattered rubble, Luo Xiu ascended to the Green Lotus Dojo at a asured pace. He was taken aback when he saw the shattered stone statue. Staring at the familiar facial features on the statue's head, a torrent of emotions welled up inside him.
Master Ping gritted his teeth and asked, "Who the hell was depraved enough to do this?"
Luo Xiu looked away and shook his head gently. "Forget it. What's broken is broken."
He then turned to look at the grand and majestic buildings, his expression growing serious. Even before entering, he had sensed a mysterious aura within the Green Lotus Palace.
"Kid, the things in here are probably not so simple," Master Ping said.
Luo Xiu nodded. "Let's go take a look first."
「anwhile, outside the Green Lotus Palace」
Luo Qianye and the other won stood on a hill a short distance from the Green Lotus Palace, their faces etched with worry.
Su Shanyue said, "It's too quiet. Eerily so."
Dou Dou nodded emphatically. "It's even quieter than when Dou Dou is asleep."
Xu Qianqing worried, "I wonder what kind of terrifying thing is inside the palace. Do you think Luo Xiu will run into trouble?"
Zhang Yi waved her little fists. "Don't worry! With Brother Luo Xiu's strength, what trouble could he possibly encounter?"
Lao Ba said proudly, "Exactly! Our Crown Prince is a major troublemaker himself!"
Since the gateway to the Boundless Heavens opened, at least eighty, if not a hundred, cultivators from the Celestial Realm had entered the Green Lotus Palace to explore. Without exception, every single one had vanished as if a stone dropped into the sea, leaving no trace. The grand and majestic complex was like a gaping maw, poised to devour everything in the world.
As they were lost in thought, a sudden whooshing sound pierced the air. Everyone looked toward the sound, their eyes widening in shock.
"Is that... Sister Xian and Ying'er?"
"Sister Xian and the others look injured!"
Indeed, Luo Ying and Luo Xian were flying hurriedly toward them, with Luo Xian holding Luo Qingxian in her arms. Luo Qingxian was unconscious, apparently having suffered a severe blow. Both Luo Xian and Luo Ying were deathly pale, as if they had experienced sothing utterly terrifying.
A mont later, they all landed safely.
Luo Qianye took Luo Qingxian from Luo Xian's arms and laid her gently on the ground. She then turned to Luo Xian and asked, "Sister Xian, what happened to you in there? How did you get so badly injured?"
Luo Xian slumped to the ground, panting weakly. "I... I can't explain it, but the thing inside... it's truly terrifying."
Just then, Lin Shanshan spoke up. "Aunt Ying, did you see my dad in there?"
Luo Ying froze at her words. "Your dad?"
Lin Shanshan nodded gently.
Luo Qianye smiled, deciding not to keep them in suspense any longer. "His Majesty has returned. He's alive."
Luo Ying shot to her feet, her eyes fixed intently on Luo Qianye. Luo Xian also looked at Luo Qianye with desperate hope.
"Qianye, what did you just say!?"
"His Majesty... he's really..."
Monts later, the two won were crying with joy.
Luo Qianye stepped forward and gently embraced them. With tears in her own eyes, she smiled and said, "His Majesty should be out soon. Let's wait for him here."
