C603 Dongming County
So the reason those people didn't come back wasn't because they were killed by evil men, but because they were killed by something beyond the heavens!
This was the first time Hsiang Yunjie had heard such an incredible thing. At this moment, he couldn't recover his senses immediately, and his eyes were filled with doubt.
Even the surrounding ministers didn't believe that such a thing could happen. One should know that they had seen Ye Tian's power before. That kind of power was already incomparably shocking, but Ye Tian still couldn't kill someone so easily.
"It's true, my king. That object from outer space has created a deep pit that is hundreds of meters wide in Dongming County. As long as you walk to the edge of it, you will die without a doubt!"
This man was lying on the ground, trembling with fear. He didn't dare to lie, but Hsiang Yunjie didn't believe it, causing him to panic.
If Hsiang Yunjie really believed that he was lying, he was afraid that this man would be executed immediately. After all, he was the only survivor of the investigation team. Naturally, he didn't want to die like this.
In the Imperial Court, no one could believe that this was true, but they didn't know that this so-called extraterrestrial object was the finger that had formed a Great Sovereign.
Even if the incomplete part of the Heavenly Emperor's body was separated from the Heavenly Emperor's body, it still had the power of a Heavenly Emperor.
For example, Ye Tian, who had reincarnated, had a thin layer of Monarch Blood in his blood essence. It was naturally not rare for this severed finger to have a residual power.
How could a mortal get close to the residual power of a Heavenly Emperor? It was not so easy to get close to the Heavenly Sovereign Stage Realm.
Furthermore, the people sent by Hsiang Yunjie weren't very strong. It was normal for them to be turned into a bloody mist by the remaining power of the Heavenly Emperor that was left behind by the severed finger.
Hsiang Yunjie started to worry when he saw that there was no possibility of this person lying. Not only had the disaster in Dongming County not been resolved, but the things that came from the heavens were also unknown. This was the thing that troubled him the most.
"My king, but there are still many unfamiliar faces in the ruins of Dongming Prefecture. These people are very powerful, and they can stay at the edge of the crater for a period of time!"
The people who came back continued to report. When he went to Dongming County, he found these people. However, these unfamiliar faces did not seem to be from the Chu Country.
Such a thing naturally made Hsiang Yunjie wary, because the appearance of such a thing in the Chu Country was both a disaster and an opportunity.
It was naturally a good thing to use the opportunity that he wished for to make up for the disaster, but if the opportunity was snatched by an outsider, it would be a greater loss.
Hsiang Yunjie knew that those people had absolutely nothing to do with the Heaven Burial Pavilion, nor the Misty Sect in the Chu Country.
The faces of these two major powers were somewhat familiar, and if they saw the Chu Country's team rushing over, they would certainly give them some help.
Hsiang Yunjie was now worried that this matter would be brought forward by an outsider. If that was the case, it would certainly be troublesome if they wanted to snatch it from them.
As for the national strength that Chu Country had accumulated, Hsiang Yunjie didn't want to waste it just because of this matter.
"Send a special envoy to Heaven Burial Pavilion as soon as possible. Tell Vice Pavilion Master Nie about this matter and let him think about how to deal with it!"
Since he couldn't find a better solution, Hsiang Yunjie could only push this matter to Heaven Burial Pavilion and ask Nie Cang to help him make the decision.
He knew that Ye Tian was currently in secluded cultivation, and the only one who could speak in Heaven Burial Pavilion was Nie Cang.
In a short period of time, the Imperial Palace was bustling with activity. The Chu Country, which had finally calmed down, once again had a chance to live.
When the Chu Country's special envoy went to the Great Heaven Burial Pavilion and reported Chu King's intention to Nie Cang, Nie Cang smiled bitterly.
Now that Ye Tian was in secluded cultivation, and the things that had happened were so strange, Nie Cang really didn't know what to do.
After all, he still had to help Ye Tian control the development of his sect. Although Nie Cang really wanted to see what had fallen from the sky, the conditions didn't allow him to do so.
At this moment, Nie Cang still missed the time when Ye Tian was outside. If such a thing really happened, he would be able to go with Ye Tian to see what was going on.
Therefore, Nie Cang shoved the Chu Country's special envoy back. After that, he covered his forehead with his hand. For the first time, he felt Ye Tian's hard work.
"Nie Cang, you really don't want to see what fell from the sky? You should know that there aren't many opportunities like this..."
Nan Fengxiao was very passionate about this matter. After all, such opportunities didn't happen every time. If he missed one, he wouldn't know when the next time would be.1
Furthermore, during the process of their cultivation, they were playing a game of danger. Each victory was a leap.
"Pavilion Master is in seclusion. Now that Dongming is in such a dangerous situation, I won't dare to take the risk. Let's wait for a while. If the danger is reduced, I think it's fine for us to go and take a look!"
Nie Cang was still worried that no one would be guarding the Heaven Burial Pavilion, which made Ye Tian, who was in seclusion, more dangerous.
Although he also wanted to see the object from outer space, he could only choose the most important thing right now.
When Nan Fengxiao heard this, he didn't try to persuade him anymore. He could only follow Nie Cang's instructions and wait quietly.
Eastern part of Chu Country, Dongming County's ruins.
The previously bustling Dongming County had now turned into ruins.
In the ruins, one could not even hear the screams of the victims. The air was filled with silence, but this silence made one's heart palpitate.
The disaster of Dongming County only happened in a split second. At this moment, the laughter and laughter from before, as well as the traffic, all froze, and then became what it was now.
However, around the ruins of Dongming County, there were still quite a number of people who carefully moved forward and circulated their true qi to prevent any danger from happening.
Among these people, there were experts who had descended from the Heaven Realm, and there were even cultivators from the Cangyuan Continent. They had rushed over after hearing the news, but none of them dared to rush forward now.
This was because they saw how those people who wanted to reach the edge of the pit died. When the things in the pit released a wave of aftershock, it was followed by waves of blood mist!
Although the strength of these people were not ordinary, they knew that if they were to step forward as well, they would have the same ending.
The only difference was that compared to those people who directly turned into bloody mist, they lived longer.
There was no difference between fifty steps and a hundred steps.
Not long after that, the native cultivators of Cangyuan Continent formed their own teams. They had Heavenly Profound Stage and Earth Profound Stage warriors. These people were ready to join forces and go to the edge of the pit to see what was going on.
However, just as these local cultivators moved, they were attacked by the people from the Heaven Realm. These local cultivators who formed their own groups had no chance to speak in front of the people from the Heaven Realm.
The formation of these people allowed the people of the Heaven Realm to find an opportunity. After all, before this, it wasn't an easy task to find out who the natives of the Cangyuan Continent were.
Although the Heaven Realm couldn't obtain such a great treasure, it would be an insult to let the Cangyuan Continent get their hands on it!
"Everyone, we can't reach the edge of the pit right now, and we can't return to the Heaven Realm just like that. Why don't we discuss what we should do next?"
