As night fell, Guan Feng and over a thousand servants from the Seventh Princess's Residence left the Imperial Palace.
When everyone discovered that the Western Continent Ancestral City had turned into a dead city, they felt a chill run down their spines.
After Guan Feng and the others left the Western Continent Ancestral City, she initially intended for everyone to go their separate ways and conceal their identities. However, everyone insisted on following Guan Feng, claiming they would serve Yu Yunxi from now on.
On the Divine Vessel, Zhou Liren trembled with excitement, “Great! Our master belongs to the Immortal Ancient Divine Race!”
The others were equally thrilled...
Two hours later, an old man returning from outside the Western Continent Ancestral City was horrified when he saw scenes of corpses piled high within the city. He collapsed in terror!
“This must be a dream; it has to be a dream!” The old man suddenly opened his eyes and slapped himself several times before he could convince himself it was not a dream.
The Western Continent Ancestral City had really been massacred!
Suppressing his panic, he returned to the city. Upon discovering that the Imperial Palace had also been slaughtered, he screamed and fled the Western Continent Ancestral City. After half a month, he reached the nearby Ancient Void Divine City and reported the news to the City Lord, Zhou Yusheng.
Zhou Yusheng initially didn't believe it. However, when he personally went to the Western Continent Ancestral City and confirmed the truth, he rode the Divine Vessel day and night towards the Southern Divine Domain to inform the Western Continent Emperor about the situation!
As the seasons changed, two years passed. Tan Yun and Fang Zixi rushed through the skies above the Western Continent Mountain Range, heading deep into the mountains towards the Elysium Sect...
Ten days later, the two stopped flying, standing in mid-air amidst the vast Sea of Clouds, looking down at the Elysium Sect with eyes full of uncontrollable anger.
“Tan Yun, when you were captured in the supreme ancestor realm, your hundreds of billions of subordinates were killed by the high priest so that Hu Yan Zhang could be reborn, right?” Fang Zixi said.
“Yes,” Tan Yun replied, memories of the past flooding his mind.
Back then, the young master of the Elysium Sect had captured him and his hundreds of billions of subordinates from the Primordial Chaos Divine Realm and then mercilessly slaughtered all of them, leaving only him to escape.
“Time has passed in the blink of an eye,” Tan Yun said sadly, “I’m sorry it took me so long to come and avenge you.”
Fang Zixi thought of the high-ranking members and disciples of the Heavenly Gate Divine Palace who had been slaughtered by the Elysium Sect, her eyes filled with sorrow. “As the palace master, I failed to protect you. It is my incompetence.”
“Watch over us in spirit. Today, this palace master will avenge you!”
“Tan Yun, let’s take action.”
Upon hearing this, Tan Yun nodded and asked, “Zixi, I’m not sure how many strong warriors above the eighth layer of the dao ancestor realm are in the Heavenly Gate Divine Palace. Do you know?”
Fang Zixi replied, “Besides Hu Yan Zhang and the guardian saint elder who went to the Southern Divine Domain, the high priest in the Elysium Sect is likely at the great perfection of the dao ancestor realm.”
“There shouldn’t be any other strong warriors above the eighth layer of the dao ancestor realm.”
Tan Yun thought for a moment and asked, “Does the Elysium Sect have any powerful protective sect divine beasts?”
“There used to be, but now there isn’t,” Fang Zixi said. “About twenty million years ago, the Elysium Sect had a divine beast, Xuanwu, but it fell during the heavenly tribulation when it was crossing over to become a dao ancestor beast.”
Upon hearing this, Tan Yun breathed a sigh of relief. “It’s good that it fell; otherwise, once it advanced to a dao ancestor beast, its snake head would transform into a dragon. That would be its peak state, with incredibly powerful strength, especially in defense. No divine race in the world could compete with it.”
