He ordered that Yang Chen, Tao Ming, and the others must be found because they were the real threat to the Sword Sect. As for the other disciples of the Heavenly Gate, they couldn't do anything, so Xiao Chen didn't care about them at all. He ordered that Yang Chen, Tao Ming, and the others must be found because they were the real threat to the Sword Sect. As for the other disciples of the Heavenly Gate, they couldn't do anything, so Xiao Chen didn't care about them at all.
After passing down the order, Xiao Chen stayed in Cang Xing to deal with the remaining matters in the Heavenly Gate's encampment while he led his men to the Heavenly Gate.
They didn't encounter any obstructions along the way. Of course, there was no news of Yang Chen and the others. They arrived at the Heavenly Gate safely, but the Heavenly Gate was already empty.
All kinds of cultivation secret realms were destroyed, and everything that could be taken away was taken away. It was obvious that Yang Chen and the others had planned this beforehand.
Faced with such a result, Long Qing, Zhou Song, and Nangong Guan were even more certain that Yang Chen, Tao Ming, and the others knew that they were no match for them, so they chose to escape. Moreover, they had already planned to do so, otherwise, they wouldn't have emptied the entire Heavenly Sect.
All signs showed that Yang Chen, Tao Ming, and the others had indeed escaped. However, where could they escape to in the Great Thousand World?
They searched the entire Heavenly Gate, but in the end, they didn't find any valuable clues.
The group arrived at the main hall of the Heavenly Gate. This used to be the meeting place of the Heavenly Gate, and it was also the center of the Heavenly Gate. However, it was now incomparably desolate.
After looking around, Xiao Chen said with some doubt, "There's no news at all. Where could they have run to?"
So many higher-ups of the Heavenly Gate seemed to have evaporated into thin air. They disappeared without a trace, which made Xiao Chen feel very unreconciled.
Even though Hetian Prefecture was under the control of the Sword Sect, the higher-ups of Hetian Prefecture didn't suffer any damage and simply disappeared into thin air.
In other words, the foundation of the Heavenly Sect was still there. Their upper echelons were still there, and they had not suffered any setbacks. As such, Xiao Chen naturally could not relax. Who knew where Yang Chen was now, and what kind of trouble he would bring to the Sword Sect in the future?
Xiao Chen naturally understood this simple logic. Therefore, even if he didn't kill all the higher-ups of the Hetian Sect, he had to at least severely injure them. Only then could the Sword Sect be considered safe.
Xiao Chen didn't feel too happy about defeating the Heavenly Gate. After all, this wasn't considered as defeating the Heavenly Gate. Rather, the Heavenly Gate had given up on the Heavenly Mansion in order to preserve their strength.
Without any clues for the time being, Xiao Chen could only suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart and began to take over the various forces in the Heavenly Mansion.
There were many forces in the Heavenly Mansion, and all of them had submitted to the Heavenly Gate. Now that the higher-ups of the Heavenly Gate had fled and the Heavenly Mansion had been occupied by the Sword Sect, these forces naturally needed to be dealt with.
Xiao Chen's attitude towards the forces that were loyal to the Heavenly Gate was very simple. That was to kill them and destroy them directly. As for the forces that were willing to switch to the Sword Sect, after careful observation, he would let them live.
Of course, Xiao Chen was definitely not at ease with the Heavenly Gate and these former subordinate forces. Therefore, he didn't give them too many benefits. He even took all the resources that they had previously occupied and put them under the Sword Sect.
It was naturally impossible to kill all the subordinate forces of the Heavenly Gate, but he couldn't let his guard down.
Xiao Chen left these matters to Nangong Guan and the others to deal with. As for Xiao Chen and Jun Wuya, they were in charge of the Heavenly Gate.
As he was worried about Yang Chen, Tao Ming was still hiding in the dark. Therefore, during this period of time, Jun Wuya didn't dare to be too far away from Xiao Chen. He was afraid that Tao Ming would find a chance to assassinate Xiao Chen.
With Xiao Chen's current strength, although he didn't need to worry about End Realm experts, he still couldn't block Emperor Realm experts.
Unfortunately, after three days, Tao Ming and Yang Chen didn't appear. Furthermore, they were unable to find any clues about them, much less their whereabouts.
Since they couldn't find the whereabouts of Yang Chen and the others, Xiao Chen could only wait patiently. He put his focus on the matter of taking over the Heavenly Gate. At the same time, he also ordered the Sword Sect to be on guard. After all, no one knew whether Yang Chen and Tao Ming would sneak attack the Sword Sect.
Time passed day by day, and everything seemed to have returned to normal. However, on the fifth day after the Sword Sect took over the Heavenly Gate, the heavy sound of a bell rang out in the sky once again.
This was the sound of the Soul Reaping Bell. It meant that another Emperor Realm expert had fallen in that world.
Along with the sound of the bell, everyone in the Great Thousand World heard this sound clearly. The people of the world were also affected by the sound of the bell. They all knelt down and cried loudly.
At the Heavenly Gate, Xiao Chen and Jun Wuya also looked at the sky in confusion. Another Emperor Realm expert had fallen? Who was it?
Two Emperor Realm experts had already fallen in a row. The previous one was the Old Ancestor of the Tool Sect. Who would it be this time?
Surprised, Xiao Chen immediately ordered Nangong Guan to investigate and find out which Emperor Realm Master had fallen, and why.
It should be known that Emperor Realm experts were existences who stood at the peak of the Great Thousand World. They could even be said to be on equal footing with Tenzu. However, two such existences had fallen in such a short period of time.
For some reason, Xiao Chen had a bad premonition in his heart when he heard that another Emperor Realm expert had fallen. However, Xiao Chen couldn't explain this feeling.
While Xiao Chen was waiting for Nangong Guan to investigate, Long Qing hurriedly walked into the courtyard where Xiao Chen was staying with a look of deep worry on his face.
"Little Brother, I'm a little worried …"
Long Qing was a little worried. It had been several days since he had sent a letter to Long Yuan, but he hadn't received a reply from Long Yuan.
At first, Long Qing thought that Long Yuan might be cultivating, so he didn't reply in time. However, so many days had passed, and there was still no news from Long Yuan. Moreover, Long Qing had sent a letter to the others in Dragon Palace, but no one had replied to him. This made Long Qing involuntarily worried.
Hearing Long Qing's words, Xiao Chen's expression changed slightly. Long Qing couldn't contact Dragon Palace, and the sound of the Soul-reaping Bell was still ringing in the sky. For a moment, Xiao Chen seemed to think of something.
"Could it be that something has happened to Dragon Palace? But that's impossible. How could Yang Chen, Tao Ming, and the others take down Dragon Palace in such a short period of time? " Xiao Chen murmured softly. He had already suspected that something had happened to Dragon Palace, and that it had something to do with Yang Chen, Tao Ming, and the others. However, on second thought, he felt that it was unlikely.
