Considering his plan, Qin Chen quickly made his way towards the borders of the Xuanyuan Empire. Currently, the Xuanyuan Empire and the Law Enforcement Hall were in a state of turmoil. Moreover, there was a conflict between the Mo Family and the Xuanyuan Empire. If he entered the Xuanyuan Empire, even if Piao Miao Palace found some clues, they would also be drawn into the Xuanyuan Empire.

"Hehe, Feng Shaoyu, I'll first collect some interest from you, make sure you and that adulterous couple have a falling out."

Qin Chen did not use any official large-scale teleportation arrays due to the danger. However, the Xuanyuan Empire was incredibly far; even at Qin Chen's speed, it would take him more than half a month to get there. During this time, if Shangguan Xier returned, she might track him down.

For some reason, Qin Chen had always been wary of Shangguan Xier, sensing she was not simple. It was an intuition with no basis, yet it made Qin Chen extremely cautious in his actions.

Fortunately, Qin Chen was a master of formations and could construct spatial teleportation arrays. As he built spatial passages, he swiftly traveled and finally entered the Xuanyuan Empire within three days.

This was Yongzhou, a major state within the Xuanyuan Empire, sprawling tens of thousands of miles, with sects everywhere and experts gathered.

The Xuanyuan Empire was a centralized power where all authority resided in the imperial core. Although various sects existed within the empire, competing with each other, once the empire issued an order, all sects would become soldiers, obeying imperial commands.

This system had also created many formidable sects, with Yongzhou being such an example.

In Yongzhou, the strongest was not the imperial officials but the Tianmen Sect.

Tianmen Sect was the overlord of Yongzhou, ruling with absolute dominance. It was among the top tier of second-line sects on the continent.

This was because the Xuanyuan Empire's territory was vast, having annexed multiple empires over the past two to three centuries, and the Tianmen Sect in Yongzhou had been one of the top sects in a Wu Domain empire two hundred years ago.

Such sects were numerous within the Xuanyuan Empire. While a single sect might not compare to a top force like the Ancient Fang Sect, several sects combined could rival such powers, showcasing the fearsome nature of the Xuanyuan Empire.

Qin Chen now arrived in Yongzhou.

"This is far enough. Going further might alert the top experts of Yongzhou's Tianmen Sect, complicating matters."

Qin Chen halted in a vast, primitive mountain range and glanced at Murong Bingyun, a flicker of murderous intent in his eyes. Since he couldn't possess Murong Bingyun, he would have to kill her.

Swish!

Qin Chen's gaze turned cold, and he struck fiercely at Murong Bingyun's head, intent on killing her on the spot...

Meanwhile, when Qin Chen reached Yongzhou, at Piao Miao Palace, Shangguan Gufeng and others were still struggling to hold on. Three days had passed, and the Locking Heaven Formation was not fully repaired, though it had become much easier since the beginning, with the violent force not as strong.

Still, Shangguan Gufeng and the others couldn't withdraw, or it would certainly lead to the formation's collapse.

"How much longer until it's fully repaired?" Shangguan Gufeng, having spat out several liters of blood in anger over the past three days, asked through gritted teeth.

"Reporting to the sect, the difficulty of repairing this Locking Heaven Formation is too great, at least half a month more..." several formation masters replied nervously.

As soon as they finished speaking, a terrifying aura appeared in the void before them. Buzz! The void split open, and several terrifying figures emerged. The leader, wearing a phoenix crown and robe, exuded unparalleled grace, her crimson robe stretching across the void for ten miles, swaying in the breeze.

This woman was strikingly beautiful, with an aura like an empress, looking down upon the heavens. The sun, moon, and stars seemed to revolve and bow in her palm, as if the will of heaven and earth were subject to her control.
