515: Chapter 515 What were these elders imagining this time?
Just then, a faint ripple of spatial energy flickered.
"Who is it?"
Liu Chengfeng looked around warily, his tone serious.
After all, they were inside Martial Immortal City.
Danger could appear at any moment.
It was better to be safe than sorry.
The other Taixuan Elders also widened their eyes and released their Divine Sense, going on high alert.
"It's me!"
"Elder Liu, how is your exploration of the Martial Immortal Temple going?"
Su Yun's gentle voice suddenly rang out.
Just as he finished speaking,
his figure appeared before the group of Taixuan Elders.
"Holy Master???
Great, you're finally back!
Now I can rest easy!"
Seeing him, Liu Chengfeng immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He then continued,
"Reporting to the Holy Master, we have found quite a few Jade Slips recording Martial Dao Spells in the Martial Immortal Temple over the past few days.
The harvest has been decent.
The only pity is
that we haven't found the Martial Immortal Legacy."
"Mhm, that's good.
It's time for us to leave.
There's nothing left to explore in Martial Immortal City!"
Su Yun waved his hand and said directly.
"We obey the Holy Master's command!"
Hearing this, Liu Chengfeng was stunned for a moment before replying respectfully.
Leaving now?
But they hadn't obtained the Martial Immortal Legacy yet?
No!
The Holy Master's meaning wasn't that simple.
He understood!
What the Holy Master meant was that the Martial Immortal Legacy had already been taken.
And it was the Holy Master who took it!
Even the situation in Martial Immortal City was under the Holy Master's control.
That was why he said that.
*Hiss*~ As expected of the Holy Master, he's truly incredible.
The other Taixuan Elders also exchanged looks and sucked in a breath of cold air.
The Holy Master's words had practically revealed everything.
It really was the Holy Master who had taken the Martial Immortal Legacy.
It was just as they had guessed before.
Subsequently, Liu Chengfeng and the other Taixuan Elders all looked at Su Yun with eyes full of worship.
"What's wrong with you all?"
Su Yun was somewhat puzzled.
He felt that the expressions and looks in these Elders' eyes were a bit strange.
The Elders shook their heads and hurriedly said,
"Uh~ Holy Master, it's nothing!"
"I just feel that you are too amazing!"
"Indeed, this old man thinks so too!"
"Hmm?"
Su Yun's mouth twitched.
What on earth was going on?
How was he amazing?
He hadn't even said anything much?
What had these Elders overthought this time?
At that moment, several colorful streaks of light flew in from the distance.
Su Yun turned his head to look.
They were all familiar faces.
The Dao Yi Holy Master was flying at the very front, clutching his staff.
Behind him were the Holy Masters of various Holy Lands, along with a group of Holy Land Elders.
They looked somewhat shaken and were not in a good state.
"Taixuan Holy Master?
You've finally shown yourself!
Did you notice the massive hole in the sky to the south of the Martial Immortal Temple?
The terrifying aura remaining around that hole could only be released by an Immortal.
Could it be that the Martial Immortal took action?"
The Dao Yi Holy Master gripped his staff, looking suspicious and uncertain.
The sudden aura of an Immortal just now had truly terrified them.
They thought the Martial Immortal had appeared.
That someone had angered the Martial Immortal,
causing the Martial Immortal to strike.
They had been so scared that they stayed rooted to the spot, not daring to move.
Fearing that the Martial Immortal would strike them as well.
After a long while, seeing that the commotion had ceased and the aura had dissipated,
they finally left where they had been with lingering fear.
"I'm not too sure about that."
Su Yun shook his head.
In fact, he was very clear on the matter.
It was something he had facilitated himself.
He had let Ye Xuan unleash an incredible attack.
However, there was no need to speak of these things.
So he could only pretend not to know.
"Alright then!"
The Dao Yi Holy Master nodded.
He felt it was normal for Su Yun not to know.
After all, things concerning Immortals,
how could they, as mere Cultivators, investigate them?
However, among this group of people,
the strongest was Su Yun.
If even Su Yun didn't know the situation,
the others likely knew even less.
So what exactly was going on?
Thinking of this, the Dao Yi Holy Master's expression became solemn.
"Taixuan Holy Master, how was your harvest?
You were the first to enter the Martial Immortal Temple.
You must have obtained quite a few legacies!"
The Holy Lord Tianyang stepped forward, his face full of smiles as he spoke loudly.
Su Yun waved his hand: "It was average. I only harvested a few Jade Slips of Martial Dao Spells."
"Only a few?"
Hearing this, several Holy Masters looked at Su Yun with some suspicion.
They didn't believe those words at all.
Furthermore, they strongly suspected that Su Yun had already taken the Martial Immortal Legacy.
Su Yun ignored their gazes, cupped his hands, and said in a gentle tone:
"Well then, Fellow Daoists, our Taixuan Holy Land will take our leave first!"
"Also, this Martial Immortal City seems to be on the verge of dissipating. I suggest you all leave as soon as possible!"
Afterward, he led the Taixuan Elders and quietly departed.
Su Yun's words caused a massive stir in the hearts of the other Holy Land Cultivators.
"Martial Immortal City is going to dissipate?
This... that's impossible!
The Taixuan Holy Master wouldn't be bluffing us, would he?
How could a perfectly fine Martial Immortal City just dissipate?"
"I feel that the Taixuan Holy Master wouldn't say such things casually.
It's likely true."
"I don't believe it. There are still so many places that haven't been fully explored!
Leaving like this would be too much of a loss."
The Holy Land Cultivators discussed fervently.
"Fellow Daoists, our Dao Yi Holy Land will bid you farewell first!"
After the Dao Yi Holy Master finished speaking, he immediately slipped away with the Dao Yi Elders.
"This mistress will also take her leave!"
The Holy Lord Yaochi also turned and left with the Yaochi Elders.
"We are the same. Until we meet again, everyone!"
Soon, the Tianyang and Tiandan Holy Masters also left with their respective Holy Land Elders.
Only the Cultivators from the remaining four Holy Lands were left looking at each other.
"Didn't several Elders from their Holy Lands also say they didn't believe the Taixuan Holy Master's words?
How come they're slipping away faster than anyone else?"
"Whatever, let's continue exploring!
Leaving directly like this is too much of a loss!"
"Yeah, I think the Taixuan Holy Master was probably talking nonsense.
He's playing us!
Perhaps once we leave,
he'll secretly double back to search for the Martial Immortal Legacy!"
...
Immediately, the Cultivators of the remaining four Holy Lands began to continue their exploration throughout the Martial Immortal Temple.
But they hadn't been exploring for long
before the surrounding space began to become incredibly chaotic.
All the halls within the Martial Immortal Temple slowly turned into ink-wash paintings and faded away.
Then they instantly dissipated.
"Oh no, what the Taixuan Holy Master said was actually true!"
"Holy crap, retreat, quickly!"
"Holy Master, wait for us!"
The Cultivators of the four Holy Lands fled in panic, turning into streaks of light as they escaped rapidly.
If it were an ordinary Secret Realm collapsing,
they wouldn't need to run so fast.
But now it was Martial Immortal City that was about to collapse.
That was a different story!
There were powerful Restrictions everywhere in Martial Immortal City.
One careless move, and even as Tribulation Crossing Realm Cultivators, they could be instantly killed and reduced to ashes.
That was why they wanted to escape Martial Immortal City as quickly as possible.
Otherwise, once the Restrictions went berserk, they wouldn't be able to withstand them.
