"Haha, young friend Xing Jue, thank you for showing mercy!"
Under the gaze of Xing Jue and the others, an elder's figure appeared above the valley like a ghost. The elder's hair was as white as snow and it fluttered without any wind.
There was a hint of heroic spirit in between his snow-white brows. As he slowly descended, his robe fluttered in the wind as though he was an old immortal descending from the sky.
But what made Xing Jue uneasy was that there was a token that was flickering with flowing light hanging on the elder's waist. The token was also engraved with the word 'Xuan'. It was obvious that this powerful elder was also a member of the Xuan Palace.
"Elder Tian Xuan!"
Looking at the old man who had fallen to the bottom of the valley, Dugu Feng's originally despairing face instantly blossomed into a brilliant smile. It was as if he had seen a trace of warm and bright sunlight in the pitch-black valley, instantly filling him with hope. Not only him, but even the Human Xuan Elder's face was filled with excitement and surprise.
"It's actually Elder Tian Xuan of the Xuan Palace!"
Although he already knew that the elder's strength was extraordinary, Xing Jue's heart instantly turned cold when he learned of the elder's true identity.
Because Elder Tian Xuan's reputation in the Towering Sky Domain was far above that of the Ice and Fire Generals. In other words, the elder in front of him wasn't on the same level as the Ice and Fire Generals.
Because this elder possessed the strength of a mid-level Combat Emperor and was the strongest existence in the Xuan Palace apart from Dugu Haoyu.
"Elder Tian Xuan, this Xing Jue wants to kill me. Quick, help me kill him!"
Dugu Feng ran to Elder Tian Xuan's side in a sorry state. He grabbed onto Elder Zhang's sleeve as though he was grabbing onto a life-saving straw and pointed at Xing Jue, hinting for Elder Tian Xuan to kill Xing Jue.
"Young friend Xing Jue, my Palace Master would like to invite you over for a chat. I wonder if you can return with me?" However, Elder Zhang ignored Dugu Feng's words and said to Xing Jue with a smile.
Almost everyone was stunned when they heard Elder Tian Xuan's words. Although Xing Jue's expression didn't change much, his heart started beating faster.
His Palace Master was obviously the Palace Master of the Xuan Palace, Dugu Haoyu. How could Xing Jue not be nervous when Dugu Haoyu wanted to see him?
"Has my identity been discovered? Or is Dugu Haoyu trying to avenge his son? But if that's really the case, then there's no need for him to meet me, because this Sky Profound Elder has the strength to kill me. What's going on? "
At this moment, countless chaotic thoughts were surging through Xing Jue's mind. He wanted to figure out what Dugu Haoyu's objective was.
"Haha, to be precise, you don't." Elder Tian Xuan smiled and stroked his snow-white beard.
"Haha, to be precise, there isn't." Elder Tian Xuan smiled slightly as he stroked his snow-white beard with a look of indifference.
"In that case, I will follow Elder Tian Xuan." Seeing this, Xing Jue involuntarily laughed heartily.
Although he couldn't guess what Dugu Haoyu was planning, Xing Jue knew that it was impossible to escape from Elder Tian Xuan, a mid-level Combat Emperor. Therefore, Xing Jue agreed.
"Valley Master Yang, please come with me!" After Xing Jue agreed, Elder Tianxuan looked at the Valley Master of Avici Valley who was not far away.
"Eh … I have to go too?" The Valley Master of the Avici Valley was at a loss.
"That's right. The Palace Master wants to see you." Elder Tian Xuan smiled.
The Valley Master of the Avici Valley didn't dare to reject Elder Tian Xuan's invitation. Soon, Xing Jue and the others followed Elder Tian Xuan to the Mysterious Palace, which was the strongest force in the Towering Sky Domain.
The Mystical Palace was located at the center of the Towering Sky Domain. It was also the most prosperous place in the Towering Sky Domain. In the past, it was the headquarters of an overlord force in the Towering Sky Domain. However, it was eliminated by the first Palace Master of the Mystical Palace, who was also Xing Jue's father, Dugu Changyi. Since then, the headquarters of the Mystical Palace has been located here.
However, the current headquarters of the Mysterious Palace was several times more magnificent than the previous force. Dazzling palaces were connected in a mysterious formation. When tens of thousands of palaces were intertwined together, they formed a huge city, which was the headquarters of the Mysterious Palace. "Mysterious City."
The layout of the buildings in the Mysterious City was extremely mysterious. Almost every palace had its own unique function, which could also reflect the surroundings.
In fact, this magnificent city itself was a powerful defensive formation. But unlike other defensive formations, the defensive formation of the Mysterious City was not only indestructible, but it could also launch powerful attacks.
However, anyone who saw the attack of the Mysterious City was already dead. The creator of the Mysterious City was Xing Jue's father, Dugu Changyi.
"Is this father's masterpiece, the Mysterious City?"
At this moment, Xing Jue had already arrived outside the Mysterious City. Looking down at the majestic city, Xing Jue's heart surged with waves that couldn't be calmed.
That's because this city should've belonged to him. But now, it was occupied by the enemy who killed his father. So how could Xing Jue not be enraged?
Although the rage in his heart couldn't be calmed, Xing Jue maintained his composure on the surface. He followed Profound Sky Elder Zhang into the depths of the Mysterious City because there was someone waiting for Xing Jue. It was the person that Xing Jue wanted to kill with his own hands, the strongest in the Towering Sky Domain, Dugu Haoyu.
The main palace of the Mysterious City was extremely gorgeous. Most importantly, it was incomparably sturdy and the barrier within it was extremely mysterious. Even if a Battle Emperor opened a spatial tunnel, it would not be able to pass through the wall. Furthermore, even a Battle Emperor's attack would not be able to destroy it.
"Elder Tian Xuan, if there's nothing else, I will take my leave first." At this moment, Elder Ren Xuan respectfully spoke to Elder Tian Xuan outside the main palace.
Although they were both high-ranking figures in the Profound Palace, there was a world of difference between him and Elder Tian Xuan, be it in terms of status or strength.
"Elder Ren Xuan, the Palace Master also has something to ask you. So it's best that you pay a visit to the Palace Master before you leave." Elder Tian Xuan faintly smiled.
"Eh … even I …" Elder Ren Xuan's face slightly changed when he heard Elder Tian Xuan's words. A smear of uneasiness rose in his heart. But even if he was unwilling, he didn't say anything.
Creak ~
Along with a soft sound, the heavy main palace gate slowly opened. At this moment, the main palace of the Mysterious City finally appeared before Xing Jue's eyes. But at this moment, Xing Jue's gaze was tightly attracted by a figure in the depths of the main palace.
It was a sturdy man wearing golden armor. His black hair was coiled up on top of his head, and his square face looked ordinary. However, it was this seemingly ordinary face that gave people an unforgettable sense of oppression, and this oppression was called Righteousness!
"This subordinate pays his respects to the Palace Master!"
"This child pays his respects to father!"
At this moment, the few people beside Xing Jue all knelt on the ground and respectfully asked for instructions. That's because the person before them was the strongest person in the Towering Sky Domain, Dugu Haoyu.
Dugu Haoyu slowly raised his right arm and gently waved it a few times, signaling for them to stand up. Thereafter, Elder Tian Xuan, Xing Jue, and the others walked into the depths of the main palace.
"So this is Palace Master Xing Jue? What a talent. " At this moment, Dugu Haoyu was sizing up Xing Jue with eyes that were several times sharper than an eagle's. While sizing him up, he nodded repeatedly with a smile of admiration on his handsome face.
"Heh, Palace Master Dugu is overpraising me. May I know why you called Xing Jue here today?" In response to Dugu Haoyu's praise, Xing Jue faintly smiled. There wasn't the slightest bit of gratitude, and there was even a trace of disdain.
"Impudent! You dare to speak to my father in such a manner? Are you tired of living?" Dugu Feng flew into a rage when he saw Xing Jue's disdainful expression.
"Haha, I know why young friend Xing Jue is unhappy with me."
"Actually, the reason why I called you here today is to give you an explanation."
But compared to Dugu Feng, Dugu Haoyu didn't hold any grudges towards Xing Jue's reaction. Instead, he maintained his amiable expression as he slowly stood up with a smile and walked towards them.
But after hearing Dugu Haoyu's words, Xing Jue's originally confused state of mind became even more chaotic. He truly couldn't understand what Dugu Haoyu was trying to do.
"Pa, pa."
But just as Xing Jue was pondering over Dugu Haoyu's thoughts, Dugu Haoyu lightly waved his sleeve and two resounding slaps rang out. At the same time, Dugu Feng was sent flying and a mouthful of blood sprayed on the floor of the great hall.
"Father, you …"
This sudden scene caused not only the Xing Jue and the others to be stunned, but even Dugu Feng was at a loss of what to do.
"You are an unfilial son."
"After secretly ordering Elder Ren Xuan to kill Palace Master Xing Jue, you colluded with the Avici Valley to attack the Asura Palace, causing tens of thousands of lives to be lost. Do you know your crimes?"
However, just when everyone was puzzled by Dugu Haoyu's sudden actions, Dugu Haoyu's thunderous roar suddenly rang out, reverberating within the massive main hall.
"I …"
When they heard Dugu Haoyu's words, the expressions of Dugu Feng, Elder Ren Xuan, and the Avici Valley's Valley Master changed drastically. A smear of uneasiness spread throughout their bodies, and their bodies started to tremble uncontrollably.
Elder Tian Xuan's face was devoid of any emotion as he quietly watched the scene before him. Like Elder Tian Xuan, he wanted to know what Dugu Haoyu was trying to do.
"Palace Master Xing Jue, I, Dugu Haoyu, have failed to teach my son properly and my subordinates are not strict enough. I would like to apologize to you."
Suddenly, Dugu Haoyu cupped his fists towards Xing Jue and bowed deeply. His firm and resolute face was filled with guilt.
