"There's indeed something fishy going on."
At this moment, the city was in complete chaos. Many people did not know what was going on, but Fu Yao was like Xing Jue. She had cast her sharp gaze towards the seal basin. It turned out that she had already discovered that the seal basin wasn't as simple as it seemed.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom …
Suddenly, countless thick dark-red pillars of light soared into the sky from the seal basin! They were extremely dazzling and resplendent in the darkness of the early morning. They were like a flight of stairs that connected the sky and the earth. They stood in the middle of the plains and were incomparably gorgeous!
"Could the formation have been unsealed?"
Xing Jue frowned as he looked at the dark-red pillars of light that were arranged in a special formation. Worry surfaced on his face. He had heard from the Soul Exalt that the reason why the Soul Monsters in the seal basin were unable to leave the basin and wreak havoc in the human world was because they had set up a hidden formation.
However, it seemed that someone wanted to undo the formation. The consequences of undoing the formation were very clear. The Soul Monsters that were trapped within would be completely freed.
The Soul Exalt had left Xing Jue to stop the mastermind from undoing the formation. However, the formation had clearly been unsealed. Furthermore, it was trembling as if it was about to collapse. This meant that the Soul Exalt had most likely failed!
Sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle …
"Look, what's that?"
Sure enough, just as Xing Jue was feeling worried, countless ear-piercing sounds rang out from the basin. The sound was so majestic that it seemed to cover the sky and earth as it surged into everyone's ears. It had already drowned out the rumbling of the ground.
As the terrifying sounds rang out, patches of dark-black objects shot out from the forest. From afar, they looked like a black mist, but Xing Jue knew that they were an army made up of Soul Monsters.
At this moment, everyone present was panicking. They could all sense a lethal threat from that ear-piercing hum. However, what surprised everyone the most was that the horde of Spiritual Monsters didn't attack the city where the Secret Battalion was stationed. On the contrary, they moved to the side.
Although those spiritual monsters were accompanied by a low deafening roar, they were just like a well-trained army. They moved in an orderly fashion and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight as they rushed into the distance.
"Weng ~ ~ ~"
The dark-red light that soared to the sky also disappeared after the group of Spiritual Monsters left. The trembling of the land also stopped. At this moment, the land once again regained its previous calmness. However, it was as though a huge churning wave had difficulty calming down in everyone's hearts.
Xing Jue, in particular, was extremely anxious. He felt an indescribable bitterness and wanted nothing more than to rush into the Sealed Basin to search for the Soul Exalt's whereabouts. But since he had completely lost contact with the Soul Exalt, he knew that entering the Sealed Basin would be useless. Even if the Soul Exalt was still alive, it was very likely that he had already been captured.
"Big brother Xing Jue, big brother Xing Jue!"
At this moment, Princess Xin Xin's voice suddenly sounded from behind Xing Jue. Turning around, the little girl's face was pale. She was walking with the support of the garrison general. It was obvious that she had suffered a lot from the trembling. But when the trembling stopped, she still ran out to look for Xing Jue anxiously.
"Xin Xin, why did you run out?" Xing Jue immediately went up to support Xin Xin when he saw her in such a state. His face was filled with heartache.
"I'm worried about big brother Xing Jue. Big brother, are you alright? You've only just gotten better, why did you run out? "Princess Xin Xin's face was also filled with worry.
"I'm fine. Don't you see that I'm fine? But you're in such a state right now. I'm very worried! " Xing Jue took out a pill and stuffed it directly into Xin Xin's mouth. Then, he gently scratched Xin Xin's little nose to show his affection.
"Rumble, rumble, rumble ~"
But at this moment, another violent trembling came from under their feet. And this time, it was several times stronger than the previous one. Seeing this, Xing Jue quickly hugged Princess Xin Xin tightly in his arms, for fear that she would be shaken again.
"Oh my god, it's so scary. What is that?"
But just as Xing Jue was protecting Princess Xin Xin, the garrison general who helped Princess Xin Xin out had a drastic change in expression. He pointed to the distance and shouted loudly. His eyes were filled with fear.
Following his gaze, Xing Jue was shocked to discover that the vast and boundless Seal Basin had already been covered by thick gray smoke.
The smoke rose into the sky and spread rapidly. At this moment, it was rushing in their direction at an extremely fast speed. As it rolled, it was like the dark clouds of doomsday, covering the sky and the sun. There was no longer a trace of light.
The speed of the gray smoke was very fast. It was as if there was a powerful force driving it. In an instant, Xing Jue and the others were drowned and engulfed. Moreover, it continued to spread out at a terrifying speed.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough."
The gray smoke spread out from the Seal Basin and only subsided after covering a radius of several hundred miles. Fortunately, the area was flat and the strong wind was constantly blowing. After a full four hours, the smoke finally dissipated by half. At this moment, most of the guards were covered in dust and were constantly panting and coughing. Some of them had even fainted because of the smoke.
However, at this moment, Xing Jue was sitting on the top of the palace, looking in the direction of the Seal Basin with a frown. At this moment, the Seal Basin had collapsed again. The dense plants in the basin had long disappeared because the basin had turned into a bottomless abyss.
"Big brother Xing Jue, why has the basin become like this?"
Princess Xin Xin sat beside Xing Jue. Her young face was filled with lingering fear. If Fu Yao had not brought them out of the Seal Basin, it was easy to imagine what would have happened to her and Xing Jue. They would have been buried at the bottom of the abyss.
"I'm not sure either. This basin has always been strange. Perhaps it's because of that mysterious energy from a few decades ago?" Xing Jue smiled and comforted her.
Actually, Xing Jue was already aware of the reason why the basin had collapsed. The great formation that trapped the spiritual monster covered the entire sealing basin and was hidden deep underground. Now that the great formation had collapsed, it was very normal for it to collapse.
However, what surprised Xing Jue was that the collapse had reached such a degree. It had forcefully turned such a large area into a bottomless abyss. From this, it could be seen how powerful the formation that the Soul Elder had set up was and how powerful the Soul Elder was back then.
When he thought about it again, this powerful existence had already left him, and his life and death were unknown. Xing Jue felt a wave of sourness in his heart. Without this powerful support, Xing Jue's future path would be extremely difficult.
At this moment, the garrison general walked to the palace and asked Xing Jue, "General Xing Jue, now that the basin has undergone a huge change, the princes of the two Empires must have been buried in it. This matter is of great importance. Should we inform the headquarters as soon as possible?"
At this moment, the garrison general walked to the front of the palace and asked Xing Jue for instructions. Regarding the princes of the two Empires and their guards being killed by Xing Jue, Xing Jue and Princess Xin Xin didn't tell him. After all, it was better for fewer people to know about it.
Therefore, from the general's point of view, the princes of the two Empires should have been buried in the basin. After all, with such a destructive force, even a high rank Wargod wouldn't be able to resist it and would only die.
"Yes."
Xing Jue nodded slightly to express his consent. After receiving Xing Jue's approval, the stationed general quickly took out a special token, walked to the side, and began to report the situation to the Secret Battalion headquarters.
"Big brother Xing Jue, big sister Fu Yao has left!" At this moment, Xin Xin suddenly pointed to a place not far away and said in surprise.
After hearing Xin Xin's reminder, Xing Jue discovered that the Phaseless Dynasty's palace was heading in the direction of the Phaseless Dynasty. At this moment, there was only one person in the palace — Fu Yao.
"Fu Yao, the princes have been killed. Can you really give an explanation?" However, as he watched the palace gradually disappear into the distance, Xing Jue's face revealed an imperceptible hint of worry.
Although Fu Yao was his enemy, Xing Jue had always felt that this ice-cold woman wasn't bad. At the very least, she had a good character.
If she hadn't brought Xing Jue and Princess Xin Xin out when Xing Jue was unconscious, he would probably be dead by now. He would have fallen into the Samsara Space and become an unrecognizable, mindless specter.
After Fu Yao left, Xing Jue didn't linger. Instead, he directly returned to the dynasty with Princess Xin Xin. As the garrison general had said, this matter was of great importance. They had to return to the dynasty as soon as possible to discuss and deal with it.
Although it could be considered an accident, the successors of the Phaseless Dynasty and Fengli Dynasty had all died there. However, Princess Xin Xin and Xing Jue were fine. Therefore, it was inevitable for people to be suspicious. Most importantly, the Phaseless Dynasty had always been domineering. They would probably use this as an excuse to deal with the Falling Star Dynasty.
After returning to the dynasty, Xing Jue didn't rush to the headquarters of the Secret Unit. Instead, he directly went to the imperial city. This was because the emperor was currently in the imperial city and Xing Jue was the emperor's subordinate. Therefore, he naturally had to go to the imperial city to discuss the matter with the emperor.
In the imperial city, in the Falling Star Palace, Xing Jue and the emperor sat alone. The two of them looked at each other. Xing Jue's face was filled with worry. He didn't say a word because on the way back, he had already informed the emperor of the truth through the token.
Although if Xing Jue hadn't killed the two princes, they would have been buried in the basin due to the collapse of the seal, they were still killed by Xing Jue. This was related to a problem.
"Haha, good. Xing Jue, I didn't misjudge you. They actually dared to be disrespectful to my Xin Xin. Killing them is the right thing to do. I only hate that I couldn't kill that group of scum with my own hands."
However, what Xing Jue didn't expect was that not only did the emperor not scold Xing Jue, he even had a carefree expression on his face. He was full of praise for Xing Jue's actions!
