“Ling Lvling, are you okay treating Lord Yuwen like this?”
At the outskirts of the Forbidden Area, Xiu Chengze and the others had anxious expressions on their faces.
Ling Lvling glanced at them, “What are you afraid of? Just now, we all witnessed the power of time. This is the source of time. If the Holy Lord knows about this place, I wonder how he would reward us. A mere Yuwen Bo dares to target us?”
“Yes, if it really is the source of time, then that’s terrifying.”
“The source of time is the most formidable Law between heaven and earth, and it is extremely rare. Even in the Heavenly Realm, almost no one can master it. How could such a small continent possess the source of time?”
“That’s unclear, but since the power of time has appeared, even if it’s not the source of time, there must be treasures related to time. Any treasure connected to the source of time is significant, and the Holy Lord would not overlook it.”
As they conversed, Shangguan Xi'er quietly listened from the side. The source of time, huh?
A glint of cold light flickered in her eyes. This is a treasure even the Holy Lord of the Heavenly Realm yearns for. If she were to obtain it… Her heart involuntarily raced.
After Ling Lvling shut down the cross-border communication formation, the jade tablet in the center of the formation soon flickered.
“Ling Lvling, Lord Yuwen requests to open the light curtain.”
Xiu Chengze glanced at her.
“Don't rush.”
Ling Lvling appeared very relaxed, “The ones who are anxious are them. The Holy Lord won't receive news that quickly. As for the others, we don’t need to care about them. Let them know that we are not to be trifled with. Hmph, that foolish Yuwen Bo.”
“Ling Lvling, Lord Yuwen requests to open the light curtain for the second time.”
“Third request to open the light curtain…” Time passed second by second.
Although Ling Lvling and the others acted relaxed, their hearts were obviously still a bit unsettled. Offending Yuwen Bo was neither too big nor too small, but for their futures, they risked it all. This matter had to be personally communicated to the Holy Lord. If Yuwen Bo passed it along, the credit could easily turn into someone else's.
“Buzz!”
At that moment, the jade tablet in the formation suddenly lit up, and the light was exceptionally bright.
Ling Lvling and the others quickly stood up.
“Ling Lvling, this is the highest communication request from the palace.”
Xiu Chengze's voice trembled.
Different communication requests elicited different reactions from the jade tablet, and this constant bright request was something only the Holy Lord could initiate. No one had the right to refuse it.
If the communication was not opened within ten breaths, the communication formation would automatically activate.
“Connect!”
Ling Lvling took a deep breath and hurriedly activated the communication formation, then several of them immediately stood respectfully in front of the formation, fully compliant.
Buzz! A black vortex appeared, and a hazy middle-aged man emerged on the light curtain. His figure was unclear, as if covered by a layer of mist, but once his shape appeared, there was a sense of the core of all things in the universe, as if at that moment, everything in the world had vanished, leaving only this man on the light curtain.
“Hiss!”
Shangguan Xi'er gasped in cold air. This was terrifying. If the so-called Holy Lord was right before them, it wouldn’t be surprising that he could do this. Such a powerhouse could influence the Laws of heaven and earth; with a single move, he could bring everyone into his realm.
But now, the other party was separated from them by an unknown number of planes, and merely through the light curtain of this cross-border communication formation, he could affect her senses as a peak Semi-Holy powerhouse. How could she not be shocked?
Shangguan Xi'er had a feeling that if the Holy Lord were before her at this moment, he could easily kill her with a snap of his fingers. This was a terrifying intuition that sprang from deep within her heart.
