Barren Lands, Lower Heavens
*zoom*
In an unknown location, a portal appeared, and two men walked out.
They didn't stop to look around and swiftly went towards the southern direction.
These two were obviously Emperor Ye and Butler Liu, and surprisingly both of them had similar movement speeds!
One must know that Emperor Ye was the most powerful person in the Middle and Lower Heavens, yet butler Liu didn't seem to be far behind him.
Both of them moved very swiftly; cultivators below them didn't even feel anything strange. It was as if nothing had happened.
They weren't even holding back. However, the Lower Heavens wasn't a small land.
Even though the average cultivation realm was pretty low compared to the Middle Heavens, its overall size was pretty big.
There were many small powers and huge forests scattered throughout the lands.
This was why, even though both of them were flying very fast, it was still taking a lot of time.
"Is he at least alive?" Emperor Ye asked through voice transmission.
Voice transmission is a skill that only saint realm cultivators can achieve. It lets the cultivators communicate between themselves without actually speaking.
"I don't know. There's a high chance something bad has happened." Butler Liu replied in a very nervous tone.
He didn't know what was going to happen. But there was a very high chance that he might lose his son today.
'I didn't even talk to him in my life.'
Due to the circumstances around him and his clan, Butler Liu had suffered many problems and was even chased by unknown enemies.
Only when Emperor Ye wasn't in the Middle Heavens did the enemies get the chance to single him out at that time and assassinate him.
"That pendant he has, is it the one from Jadeite Peak?" Emperor Ye asked as they passed by the Capital City of Xin Kingdom.
Butler Liu nodded his head, "Indeed it was. That pendant is the only reason why I could let him be in the Lower Heavens."
"It had an array, right?" Emperor Ye asked.
Butler Liu thought for a moment and replied, "Yes, it should keep him safe, but we can only hope the damage wasn't huge before the pendant broke."
Emperor Ye nodded as they inched closer to the location.
"How much further is it?" Emperor Ye frowned, "We need to get there as soon as possible."
Butler Liu replied, "It will take us a few more minutes. I can't pinpoint his location, but I can get a basic direction."
Emperor Ye replied, "Your son is my nephew. If anything happens to him, the whole Lower Heavens shall suffer."
Butler Liu pursed his lips and increased his speed.
After about twenty or so minutes, they first saw the Silver Mist Mountain from afar.
"It's coming from that mountain," Butler Liu immediately pointed at the mountain and went full speed.
They could see smoke rising from behind the mountain.
"Looks like there was a huge fight there?" Soon both of them reached the other side of the mountain.
To their surprise, there was actually a small city behind this mountain!
However, what attracted their attention the most was that the city was half-destroyed!
A huge crater was formed at the center of the destroyed city, indicating the explosions that caused this state.
They also saw cultivators leaving the mountain in panic, while some didn't move and wanted to investigate the incident.
"It's near that crater," Butler Liu pointed at the explosion site, "I can still feel it!"
"Let's move!"
But just as they were about to move -
*BOOM!*
*BOOM!*
*BOOM!*
There was a sudden shockwave, and the top of the mountain exploded!
In the next instant, a huge landslide occurred and was about to bury the whole city.
"It's an array system?"
"Heaven Oracle Sect…" Emperor Ye frowned at the mountain and moved his hand towards the landside.
In the next moment, everything above the city suddenly froze in place and stopped moving.
"Heaven Oracle Sect has quite a daring disciple!"
Emperor Ye said aloud.
It took him just a single glance to know that this was the doing of the Heaven Oracle Sect, and with just one look at the city, he easily identified the Heaven Oracle disciple.
'He's committing such a huge thing, and yet he's also wearing the Heaven Oracle Robes.'
Emperor Ye shook his head, and then both he and Butler Liu went to the Heaven Oracle Sect disciple who was lying in an injured state.
After a minute or two, when Butler Liu recovered his son from the debris, only then did both of them sighed in relief.
Butler Liu's son, Jun Xie, was surprisingly safe!
"What happened to him?" Emperor Ye first asked Butler Liu, who was examining Jun Xie.
"He is unconscious because of a huge hit on his chest and head. Also, there are signs of a sword attack on his chest. Luckily the sword attack first hit his chest, thus saving his life and also alarming us."
Emperor Ye nodded his head, then looking around, he suddenly frowned, "This place…."
Glancing at the injured disciple on the ground, he asked, "What is your name, boy?"
With just one glance, Emperor Ye was able to see through the disciple.
'He's crippled… but there's still a chance to recover.'
Having expected this question, the disciple replied, "Seniors, I am a Core Disciple of the Heaven Oracle Sect, Qin Wentian."
"Hmm," Emperor Ye nodded his head. He had never heard of any disciple with this name, but he chose to believe the kid in front of him.
"What happened here?" Emperor Ye asked.
Qin Wentian took a deep breath and began to recount everything that had happened, except for the part that there was a Token Of Fate that was about to appear.
He also didn't mention the mysterious man who easily defeated Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun and exploded a Core Formation Realm cultivator with a snap of his finger, only making the Devil Sect the main antagonist in his story!
