Chapter 1192: Chapter 1193: Gathering of the Mighty
Xiao Tianyu’s appearance was unexpected for Qian Yue and the others, but they did not give it much thought. In their eyes, those who act recklessly are abundant, and Xiao Tianyu is just one of them.
Moreover, Xiao Tianyu going to the Sea King Palace alone seemed like a death sentence to them.
The Sea King Palace was perilous and unpredictable; it was not a place Xiao Tianyu could set foot in. Going there was undoubtedly suicidal, and for Qian Yue, it means she wouldn’t have to deal with Xiao Tianyu later.
At this moment, the islands ahead gradually appeared in everyone’s view. The sky above the island was pitch black, as if covered by Mo Yun, and the island’s surroundings were covered with underwater seaweed. However, these seaweeds were dry, indicating that this island had surfaced from the ocean several months ago.
On the island, stood an ancient, pitch-black palace that seemed to reach into the clouds with an incredibly majestic aura. The palace was covered with seaweed, and moss grew around it.
This clearly showed that the ancient palace had been suppressed beneath the sea for tens of thousands of years.
Indeed, this palace is precisely what those on the Deserted Island call the Sea King Palace.
When the powerful figures from Yihua Palace and Celestial River Hall arrived, many had already gathered in front of the Sea King Palace’s main entrance. Most of them were in the Celestial Spirit Realm or above, each extraordinary, and their leaders were fearsome saints as well.
Obviously, these figures are terrifying people from the Saint Emperor’s domain.
In the Endless Sea, there are four great Cultivation Holy Lands, aside from Yihua Palace and Celestial River Hall, there are also Sumeru Holy Palace and Chenyuan Holy Palace.
Indeed, those who arrived earlier were people from these two Holy Lands.
"I thought Yihua Palace and Celestial River Hall would not send anyone," a saint from Sumeru Holy Palace said, as his deep gaze swept over the saints from Celestial River Hall and Yihua Palace.
Li Sheng spoke, "Since people from Sumeru Holy Palace and Chenyuan Holy Palace have arrived, how could Yihua Palace be absent?"
"Aren’t you afraid?" Chu Sheng of Chenyuan Holy Palace said indifferently, "Last time, not a single Celestial Spirit Realm expert sent by the Four Great Holy Lands returned!"
"If Chenyuan Holy Palace is not afraid, why would Celestial River Hall be?" Zhou Sheng said to Chu Sheng, his voice unwavering, "Now that the Sea King Palace is right in front of us, when we enter, who knows who the treasures belong to. Supposedly, there’s a Sacred Artifact here, the Spear of Space!"
Is the Spear of Space truly a Sacred Artifact? Certainly not. If it were merely a Sacred Artifact, Li Tian wouldn’t have personally sealed it here. But this is what these people believe.
If they think carefully, they would realize how could a Sacred Artifact suppress the supreme of the sea, the Sea King? This Sea King was once referred to as the devil god of existence ten thousand years ago.
"Naturally, whoever has the opportunity to obtain it, the Spear of Space belongs to them!" Li Sheng of Yihua Palace said calmly.
The Spear of Space is unique, and the four factions can only rely on personal opportunity to divide it.
"I like this statement!"
"I have no objection to this either!"
"..."
The other three saints spoke up simultaneously, thus not only the Sacred Artifact, but even other treasures of the Sea King Palace rely on opportunity. Whoever has the chance can take them. freeweɓnovel.cøm
"Since we’ve reached an agreement, let’s go in!" Li Sheng said lightly.
At that moment, a young figure slowly descended before the palace doors, causing a strange sensation among the powerful figures from the Four Holy Lands. Which Holy Land does this person who descended from the sky belong to?
Xiao Tianyu ignored everyone’s gazes and turned towards the Sea King Palace.
"It’s him; can’t believe he really dared to come alone, courting death!" Qian Yue’s beautiful eyes flashed with disdain, attracting many eyes. A person from Chenyuan Holy Palace asked Qian Yue, "Is he from your Yihua Palace?"
"No," Qian Yue shook her head, "He’s just an unknown person from the Deserted Island, but he has some talent!"
"If he has talent, why didn’t he come with you?" The person continued, eyes smiling faintly, finding Xiao Tianyu intriguing. Logically, someone with talent should accompany Qian Yue, yet he came alone. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Moreover, the person noticed that Qian Yue seemed hostile towards Xiao Tianyu.
Upon hearing this, Qian Yue glanced at Mo Shaoqing nearby, whose expression was unpleasant — the battle on the Deserted Island was a scandal for him, as many witnessed him getting defeated by Xiao Tianyu with a single shot.
Seeing this, Ye Han from Yihua Palace naturally understood everything. On the journey, he’d heard that someone injured Mo Shaoqing. Mo Shaoqing’s talent in Yihua Palace may not be extraordinary, but on the Deserted Island few could surpass him.
Thus, Ye Han asked Qian Yue, "Junior Sister Qian, is it this person who injured Mo Shaoqing?"
"Exactly him!"
Qian Yue nodded, intensifying the curiosity in the eyes of those around, and many eyes fell on Mo Shaoqing. Though Mo Shaoqing’s injuries had nearly healed on the journey, the blood-stained hole in his clothing remained visible, clearly showing he was lightly wounded.
At their level, as long as the injury isn’t fatal, recovery is swift.
Feeling the stares around him, Mo Shaoqing’s expression turned unpleasant, as he disliked the topic being brought up — it was his disgrace, and he vowed to erase this humiliation.
"How interesting, a prodigy from Yihua Palace injured by an outsider. Seems Yihua Palace isn’t that remarkable!" Feng Qianmo from Sumeru Holy Palace said with a smile, "Furthermore, since he injured Mo Shaoqing, you removed his qualification. If he seizes the Sacred Artifact, you’ll have a hard time in Yihua Palace, won’t you?"
Though he spoke lightly, as if not caring, his words weren’t without reason. If Xiao Tianyu could seize the Sacred Artifact, Qian Yue would definitely suffer within Yihua Palace, as Xiao Tianyu originally followed the Qian Family.
In other words, he followed Yihua Palace, but now has been disqualified by Qian Yue, making any acquisition by Xiao Tianyu irrelevant to Yihua Palace. Would Yihua Palace overlook Qian Yue’s mistake?
"Ridiculous, with him?" Qian Yue chuckled carelessly, then followed Li Sheng towards the Sea King Palace, while others from Yihua Palace also followed.
"I was just joking, has Miss Qian Yue taken offense?" Feng Qianmo began walking as well, trailing behind the saint from Sumeru Holy Palace. Soon, the prodigies of various Holy Lands reached the entrance of the Sea King Palace.
