628: Chapter 628 Taking a Short Break

"Hmph, I don't believe it. Maybe this person is just spouting nonsense!"

Hearing this, Immortal Xuan Gu couldn't help but snort coldly, his eyes filled with suspicion.

"How could any other faction from the Immortal Realm possibly notice the Haomiao Realm! If there really were one, they would have appeared thousands of years ago, not waited until now!"

He rolled his eyes, suddenly remembered something, and a plan came to mind. He suggested:

"That's right, before we came to the Lower Realm, didn't our master lend us an Immortal Artifact, the Peeping Heaven Mirror?"

"The Peeping Heaven Mirror can perform divination and deduce heavenly secrets. It's perfect for deducing this person's true identity! Let's see if they really are from another Immortal Realm faction as they claimed!"

"Since that person killed Lord Zhao, there is Karma involved, which we can use for the deduction!"

"I want to see if that person is just putting on an act!"

A cold, sinister look flashed in Immortal Xuan Gu's eyes as he clenched his fists and spoke with a fierce tone.

"Hmm, Xuan Gu, what you say makes sense. The grand plan of our Jiyuan Palace cannot fail, so we must be cautious!"

Immortal Die Yan nodded in agreement and reached out, a yellow mysterious light flashing by.

In his hand appeared an ancient bronze mirror emitting a faint fluorescent glow.

The ancient bronze mirror was engraved with incredibly profound dao law patterns, and milky-white dao law halos rippled across the mirror's body, as if it were evolving all things.

On the mirror's surface, various illusory images appeared—mountains, rivers, rare beasts—all vivid and lifelike, as if they were about to burst out of the mirror at any moment.

Immortal Die Yan shouted, "Peeping Heaven Mirror! Activate!"

Hum, hum, hum...

The Peeping Heaven Mirror suddenly burst into dazzling light and flew directly into mid-air.

Immediately, Immortal Die Yan began chanting, his hands rapidly forming Immortal seals, and the incredibly thick Immortal power within his body was injected directly into the Peeping Heaven Mirror.

In an instant, all the dao law patterns on the body of the Peeping Heaven Mirror were activated, emitting a misty light.

Even Immortal Xuan Gu and Immortal Die Yan felt as if they were being completely seen through by the Peeping Heaven Mirror, with no secrets left hidden.

"Now is the time!" Immortal Xuan Gu's eyes widened, and with a wave of his hand, he tossed a wisp of Lord Zhao's remaining Divine Soul toward the Peeping Heaven Mirror.

The Peeping Heaven Mirror instantly released a beam of white light, swallowing that wisp of Divine Soul.

"Heavenly secrets transform, all phenomena are deduced. Peeping Heaven Mirror, deduce for me! Deduce the identity of the person who killed Lord Zhao!"

Immortal Die Yan stopped forming seals and stared intently at the Peeping Heaven Mirror.

The Peeping Heaven Mirror trembled violently, the various illusory images on its surface vanished, and countless scenes flashed by as it began to deduce the heavenly secrets.

An invisible wave of the Dao surged toward every corner of the Haomiao Realm.

Both men fixed their eyes on the Peeping Heaven Mirror, waiting for the result of the deduction.

But just then, a crisp cracking sound suddenly rang out.

Crack...

"What was that sound? Is someone here?" Immortal Xuan Gu frowned slightly, looked around, and sensed his surroundings, but found nothing.

Immortal Die Yan, on the other hand, turned pale, staring at the Peeping Heaven Mirror floating in the air, stammering:

"This... how is this possible! The Peeping Heaven Mirror... it shattered???"

"We aren't even deducing a Supreme of the Immortal Realm! It was just an Immortal Cultivator who isn't even an Immortal, yet it actually caused the Peeping Heaven Mirror to shatter completely!!!"

"No way!" Immortal Xuan Gu heard this and looked up abruptly, only to see countless tiny cracks appearing on the surface of the Peeping Heaven Mirror.

These cracks spread at an extremely fast speed, and eventually, the entire Peeping Heaven Mirror disintegrated. The chaotic power of the Dao surged outward in all directions, as if it could swallow everything, causing everything nearby to collapse and perish.

"Oh no, the Peeping Heaven Mirror has exploded! Retreat quickly!"

"Damn it! We cannot withstand this backlash!"

Immortal Die Yan suddenly snapped back to reality, his face grim, and he transformed into a streak of yellow Immortal light to flee immediately.

Immortal Xuan Gu, looking flustered, was a step slower but also hurriedly fled.

Boom...

Everything within a radius of a thousand li was directly erased by the power of the Dao.

A few unlucky Linyuan Sect Cultivators, because they were within the sect and unable to dodge in time, were instantly killed.

The entire Linyuan Sect was razed to the ground, and even the surrounding rolling mountains were erased.

...

Meanwhile. On the other side. Xu Family Ancestral Land.

"Nothing found. It seems it's really gone!"

"Time to go!" Su Yun took a step and vanished from the spot, reappearing in a small alley within an Immortal Cultivator city thousands of li away.

With a thought, a red light flashed, and Xie Yulan emerged from the Heavenly Flame Palace.

"Junior Brother Yun, where are we?"

Xie Yulan blinked her beautiful eyes and looked around, realizing they were no longer in the Xu Family Ancestral Land.

"Senior Sister Yulan, we have already left the Xu Family Ancestral Land! This is a nearby city."

Su Yun smiled slightly, took her jade hand, and spoke in a gentle tone.

"Right now, your Xie Family's Old Ancestor is still in a teahouse in this city, discussing alliance matters with high-level Cultivators from other families!"

"By the way, we were interrupted earlier. Senior Sister Yulan, would you still like to stroll around the city now?"

"Hmm... no need... Junior Brother Yun!" Xie Yulan looked up at Su Yun, a hint of worry flashing across her pretty face. "Let's go to the teahouse where the Old Ancestor and the others are discussing matters and rent a private room to rest!"

Earlier, although Junior Brother Yun didn't say anything, she had still seen the scenes outside with Yan Ling's help.

Junior Brother Yun had encountered danger while exploring that great hall earlier.

He didn't seem to be injured, but he must be tired now!

It would be better to rest!

"Alright!" Su Yun nodded slightly.

After sensing Xie Zhisong's location and learning the direction of the teahouse, he flashed away and brought Xie Yulan to the most luxurious teahouse in the city.

He directly rented a high-class private room, right near the room where Xie Zhisong and the others were meeting.

After entering the private room.

Su Yun and Xie Yulan sat on adjacent spirit chairs.

Soon after, several maids entered the room, brought high-quality spirit tea and various spirit fruits, placed them on the jade table, and then hurried away.

The room returned to silence, leaving only Su Yun and Xie Yulan.

At this moment, Su Yun couldn't help but relax and closed his eyes to rest his mind.

The tension he had felt while encountering various crises earlier finally eased.

Beside him, Xie Yulan pressed her pink lips together, clenched her jade hands, and remained silent, watching Su Yun quietly without disturbing his rest.

A moment later, Su Yun opened his eyes. "There is nothing to do for the moment. It's the perfect time to study the dao law patterns on that stone platform."

Then, he raised his hand and waved it gently. The entire private room was instantly enveloped by the boundless power of the Law of Space, forming an independent space that isolated it from any outside prying eyes.
