243: The strange clan strikes again and destroys the Wang family at dawn!

【 A long time later, your brows furrowed even tighter. 】

【 You realized that you had been in seclusion all these years, never leaving the Hope Zone since returning from Heavenly Emperor City. 】

【 "So... how did Limitless Celestial Venerable disappear in the first place?" 】

【 "Unless... there's something else in my Soul Sea." 】

【 Immediately after, you searched continuously in the depths of your Soul Sea, but found no other objects. 】

【 "Could it be that?" 】

【 You suddenly thought of something. 】

【 Boom— 】

【 Suddenly, you felt the entire earth shaking, and waves of terrifying Qi emanated from outside the wooden house. 】

【 "This is... an Immortal?" 】

【 You secretly glanced outside the wooden house, and when you saw the scene, your pupils suddenly contracted. 】

【 "The Eerie Clan?" 】

【 "How is this possible? Heavenly Emperor City was already destroyed by me, so why are the Eerie Clan still coming?" 】

【 Boom— 】

【 You had thought that with Heavenly Emperor City destroyed, and with the ninth year passing peacefully, you subconsciously believed the matter was resolved. You never expected it was only delayed by a year, and the Eerie Clan still arrived. 】

【 You used Great Void Art to arrive at Xuanyuan Tianji's residence. You didn't expect Chen Shu to be there as well. 】

【 "Go!" 】

【 You didn't have time to ask them what happened and quickly pulled the two, preparing to leave the Hope Zone. 】

【 "Hmm?" 】

【 "Ant!" 】

【 The next second, a terrifying Divine Ability shattered the Void Realm, striking you, who was truly using Great Void Art. 】

【 You didn't expect that an Immortal Realm expert could directly knock you out of Great Void Art. 】

【 "Damn it!" 】

【 You glanced in one direction, using the force of that blow to retreat as an advance. 】

【 Boom— 】

【 You were heavily slammed into the ground, forming a deep crater. 】

【 "Hmph! Still trying to escape?" 】

【 The Immortal Realm Eerie Clan member looked at the deep pit beneath his feet, then turned his gaze towards the Hope Zone's Council of Elders. 】

【 In his opinion, a mere ant at the eighth stage of Undergoing Tribulation could not have survived his previous attack. 】

【 However, what he didn't know was that with the borrowed force of that move, you directly used Void Concealment to enter the interior of the Ancient Emperor Relic. 】

【 Inside the Ancient Emperor Relic— 】

【 You released the two from within the Void Realm. 】

【 Chen Shu looked at your white hair, her eyes filled with shock. 】

【 She didn't expect that in less than ten years of seclusion, you had become like this. 】

【 Xuanyuan Tianji, who was beside her, also noticed your condition and spoke with a furrowed brow. 】

【 "Did you use a forbidden art?" 】

【 "Why is your life force so weak?" 】

【 As soon as she finished speaking, Xuanyuan Tianji grabbed your left hand and began to check your physical condition. 】

【 It was fine not looking, but once she did, Xuanyuan Tianji was startled. 】

【 "You only have less than three years of life left?" 】

【 "What on earth happened?" 】

【 Chen Shu also gathered around you, watching you with a solemn expression. 】

【 You sighed and told Xuanyuan Tianji that because you Cultivated the Undying and Undestroyed Scripture, you were forced to use a forbidden art to successfully Cultivate it. 】

【 "You!!!" 】

【 Xuanyuan Tianji looked at you with complex eyes. 】

【 Xuanyuan Tianji didn't know if giving you the Undying and Undestroyed Scripture was the right choice back then. 】

【 "You were too impulsive. You still have less than three years. If you can't successfully Undergo Tribulation, you will still die." 】

【 You coughed twice violently and told Xuanyuan Tianji that you now had an eighty percent chance of success. 】

【 "Eighty percent?" 】

【 "How many Undying Soul Fires have you condensed?" 】

【 You smiled and said. 】

【 "Three!" 】

【 As your words fell, the interior of the Ancient Emperor Relic fell into silence. 】

【 A long time later, Xuanyuan Tianji spoke. 】

【 "Your talent is truly not just strong." 】

【 "Do you know, the Undying and Undestroyed Scripture is extremely difficult to Cultivate, yet you condensed three Undying Soul Fires in less than ten years." 】

【 "Do you know how many years it took for the Geniuses I know to condense one Undying Soul Fire?" 】

【 Xuanyuan Tianji extended a finger, then told you that among the Geniuses she had seen, the fastest took at least a hundred years to condense one Undying Soul Fire, yet you managed to condense three Undying Soul Fires in less than ten years. 】

【 Hearing this, you pointed to your hair. 】

【 You told Xuanyuan Tianji that the reason you were able to condense three Undying Soul Fires was all at the cost of your lifespan. 】

【 "Madman!" 】

【 Xuanyuan Tianji looked at your white hair and couldn't help but call you a madman. 】

【 "By the way, what exactly happened? Heavenly Emperor City was already destroyed, so why did the Eerie Clan still come?" 】

【 You looked at Chen Shu. 】

【 After hearing this, Chen Shu's eyes gradually dimmed. 】

【 Chen Shu told you that although the Bai family of Heavenly Emperor City was destroyed, the Eerie Clan found the Wang family of the Dawn faction. 】

【 Chen Shu told you that the Eerie Clan planned to support the Wang family, continue to build a Heavenly Emperor City, and have the Wang family control the Qingxuan World. 】

【 Upon hearing this, you were slightly stunned. 】

【 Immediately, you understood everything. 】

【 It wasn't that the Bai family of Heavenly Emperor City actively sought out the Eerie Clan, but rather that the Eerie Clan already had this idea, and the Bai family was just their top choice. 】

【 However, after the Bai family was annihilated by you, the Eerie Clan turned their attention to other forces, and this force was the Dawn Wang family. 】

【 This meant that no matter if you destroyed the Bai family or the Wang family, you couldn't change the fact that the Eerie Clan wanted to build Heavenly Emperor City and raise the Human Race. 】

【 The root of all this originated from the Eerie Clan. 】

【 Thinking of this, you looked at Chen Shu with a complex expression. 】

【 The Qingxuan World held no emotional significance for you; you could temporarily leave if you truly couldn't seek revenge. However, for Chen Shu, giving up this place easily might be a difficult choice. 】

【 "Let's stay here for a while. We'll go out once things calm down above." 】

【 Subsequently, the three of you temporarily settled down inside the Ancient Emperor Relic. 】

【 Six months later! 】

【 You brought the two back to the Hope Zone. 】

【 As expected, the Hope Zone had already become a ruin, and not a single person could be seen. 】

【 Chen Shu looked at all this with red eyes, but she didn't step forward to disturb you. 】

【 You looked at Xuanyuan Tianji and nodded at her. 】

【 The next day! 】

【 You and Xuanyuan Tianji left the Hope Zone and flew towards the Fallen Immortal Abyss. 】

【 Only Xuanyuan Tianji could forge the Profound Yellow Shield, and you needed her help. 】

【 The eleventh year! 】

【 "Here! Your Profound Yellow Shield!" 】

【 On the Myriad Tribulation Stairway, Xuanyuan Tianji held the newly forged Profound Yellow Shield in front of you. 】

【 Xuanyuan Tianji didn't expect there to be xuanhuang stone marrow in this place and was curious that you even knew about such a thing. 】

【 Looking at the Profound Yellow Shield in your hand, Xuanyuan Tianji knew that the eighty percent probability you mentioned was true, not an excuse to deceive her. 】

【 "I wish you success!" 】
