Chapter 371: Chapter 371 The Heavenly Guards Wreaked Havoc . The Catastrophe Befell .

At Skyfall .

Xiao Jinghong, Zhao Congjian, Lin Changge, and the others gathered in a stone pavilion . Each of them looked grim .

They did not look any different from thirteen years ago . Even Jiang Xue, who gave birth to a child, looked like a young girl still .

“This means that our master is still alive, doesn’t it?”

Huang Lianxin broke the silence and smiled . Her words made everyone roll their eyes .

In their hearts, they always believed that Zhou Xuanji was alive .

Daoya Old Man sighed, “Seems like the Heavenly Hall hates Zhou Xuanji so much because of that Tian . ”

Jiang Xue frowned and said, “If Xuanji is in the Northern Wilderness Region already, why isn’t he back yet . Could he have encountered trouble? ”

The one she cared most about was always Zhou Xuanji . Even Zhou Xiaoxuan could not replace him .

Lin Changge said, “Why don’t I go around to gather some information . If he’s in the inner region, news about him would have already spread . It’s most likely along the sea . ”

Even though Zhou Xuanji had disappeared, he had never left .

These people believed firmly that Zhou Xuanji would return .

Daoya Old Man waved his hand and smiled, saying, “I have a feeling . He and Xiaoxuan will be returning soon . ”

Jiang Xue was pleasantly surprised and inquired further, “They are together?”

Daoya Old Man only smiled but did not speak a word .

After that, they began to talk about the recent movements of Emperor Sword Court .

The Heavenly Hall wanted to kill Zhou Xuanji, so the disciples could not leave Skyfall freely . It would be too dangerous .

…

In the royal garden of the Hunyuan Empire .

Yang Di was practicing his calligraphy . A man dressed in black clothes appeared behind him suddenly .

“Great Emperor, the Heavenly Hall descended . What should we do?” The man asked with a deep voice . When he spoke about this matter, his voice trembled .

The descent of the Heavenly Hall would cause an unprecedented impact on the Northern Wilderness Region .

Yang Di remained calm as he wrote down the name of Spirit Sovereign Yan and said, “Find out Spirit Sovereign Yan’s location, as well as the other Heavenly Guards . ”

The Heavenly Hall’s killing list did not have his name, but Spirit Sovereign Yan would surely affect his plan .

So, he had already taken Spirit Sovereign Yan as his enemy .

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

The man in black accepted the mission and departed .

Yang Di looked up to the sky and mumbled, “The Upper Realm . What kind of a realm is that?”

His cultivation and age were already enough for ascension . Still, he wanted to remain in the mortal world to become more powerful .

A metamorphosis would happen during ascension . The more powerful one was in the mortal world, the more powerful he would grow after the transformation .

One will become ten, two will become 20 . One’s power would grow ten times after ascension .

…

After the descent of the Heavenly Hall, the Northern Wilderness Region was in chaos . The Heavenly Guards were all at Great Tribulation Scattered Immortal and were capable of forcing the mortals to build temples and offering altars to worship the Heavenly Hall . There was some killing, but the Heavenly Guards did not massacre freely . The humans in the Northern Wilderness Region had not crumbled entirely but were badly oppressed .

Under the commands of the gods, more people began to seek Zhou Xuanji, Baihao Yixin, and a dozen other powerful cultivators’ lives .

In the name list given by Spirit Sovereign Yan, Zhou Xuanji did not know most of the names . However, those that caught the Heavenly Hall’s attention must not be ordinary .

Ten days later .

Zhou Xuanji and his daughter left human territory and entered demon territory, toward Skyfall .

Along the way, Zhou Xuanji taught Zhou Xiaoxuan sword techniques .

He taught Zhou Xiaoxuan the Sky Dominating Divine Sword, telling her that it was the legacy of an ancient Sword Emperor . She accepted it pleasantly and talked about the ancient Sword Emperors ceaselessly .

This day, Zhou Xuanji encountered some people .

They were Baihao Yixin and Feng Gule .

Seeing Zhou Xuanji, Baihao Yixin’s face turned green instantly .

Feng Gule had an awkward expression as well .

“What a coincidence . ”

Zhou Xuanji waved hello with a smile . Zhou Xiaoxuan hid behind him instead and was sizing the other two people curiously .

These two did not seem like ordinary people .

Baihao Yixin grumbled, “No wonder the Heavenly Hall wants This Emperor dead . I really encountered you . ”

Whenever he encountered Zhou Xuanji, he would be extremely unlucky .

Liu Wuji’s threat was just over, and now the Heavenly Hall, a more powerful threat, had appeared .

He really wanted to die all of a sudden .

Feng Gule was quite shocked that Zhou Xuanji had returned from the netherworld .

“Should we work together?”

Zhou Xuanji asked with a smile . He did not have any ill feelings toward Great Emperor Heartless .

With this guy around, and he could ask him to weaken Spirit Sovereign Yan with his suicide explosion .

“I’m unlucky whenever This Emperor sees you, humph!”

Baihao Yixin snorted coldly before he circled around Zhou Xuanji to leave . Feng Gule glanced at Zhou Xuanji and followed closely behind .

“Who are they? ” Zhou Xiaoxuan asked curiously .

“One of them is a great diviner, ” Zhou Xuanji said intently, “And the other is Great Emperor Heartless from 90,000 years ago . ”

Interesting .

He realized that Baihao Yixin had grown more powerful . It seemed that this guy had not wasted the past 13 years .

“Great Emperor Heartless?”

Zhou Xiaoxuan asked with eyes wide open . She heard Great Emperor Heartless’s legends and did not expect such a person to still be alive .

She suddenly had a sense of reverence toward the world .

She was naive indeed in always thinking about becoming reputed across the world like Zhou Xuanji .

…

Under the blue sky, Skyfall was surrounded by a few dozen Heavenly Guards . All disciples of Emperor Sword Court readied themselves for battle on the mountain .

Seeing those mightily domineering Heavenly Guards, all the disciples were greatly anxious .

“How high are these Heavenly Guards’ cultivation? They seemed very powerful, more powerful than even Martial Uncle Ning . ”

“It’s the end . We can’t defeat them . ”

“Our Grand-Teacher is not here . What should we do?”

“They are here to kill our Grand-Teacher for sure . ”

“They are all from the Upper Realm . Even if the Grand-Teacher is here, he might not defeat them!”

It was their first time encountering the immortals from the Upper Realm, so all the disciples were very nervous . Even Xiao Jinghong, Zhao Congjian, and the others were so too .

Daoya Old Man flew up into the air . He cupped his fist, asking, “Respected deities, may I inquire about your purpose of visiting us?”

These words pleased the Heavenly Guards .

They were not real deities, but for the mortals, they were gods .

The leading Heavenly Guard stepped forward and said, “I’m Heavenly General Zhenwu . I’m leading an expedition against Zhou Xuanji . Tell me where Zhou Xuanji is . ”

With their cultivation, they could see that Zhou Xuanji was not at Skyfall .

However, the Northern Wilderness Region was too vast . It would be very troublesome to search for Zhou Xuanji, so they wanted to look for him through Emperor Sword Court .

Having heard that, Daoya Old Man smiled bitterly, “Ever since his battle with Liu Wuji 13 years ago, he fell into the netherworld and did not appear again . We don’t know where he is too . ”

The underworld?

Heavenly General Zhenwu asked with a frown, “How can a mere mortal enter the netherworld?”

Daoya Old Man spoke truthfully . In these 13 years, he divined Liu Wuji frequently and was successful only once every ten times . He divined that Liu Wuji was in the netherworld and was ambushing Zhou Xuanji .

This was his first time mentioning this . He had not even revealed this to Jiang Xue and the others before .

Hearing his words, Heavenly General Zhenwu frowned even deeper . “You mean Zhou Xuanji is already dead?” He asked .

Daoya Old Man did not reply but looked sorrowful on his face .

“If so, then you all shall die too!”

Heavenly General Zhenwu bellowed . After that, he raised the long spear in hand and was prepared to strike .

“Don’t!”

Daoya Old Man grew anxious and cried out immediately, “He might be coming back . We can become your hostages . ”

He was not afraid to die, but the hundreds of thousands of people on Skyfall should not die because of this .
