Western Xuan Region.
After passing through a series of teleportation arrays, Lin Xiu finally arrived at the Western Xuan Region.
As far as the eye could see, one could only feel that the land was desolate. The people coming and going were sparse and it was difficult to see any powerful people.
Lin Xiu casually grabbed a passerby and under the other party's panicked gaze, he stated the purpose of this trip and asked the other party, "Where is the most powerful force?"
That person was a little timid. He could feel Lin Xiu's strength and naturally did not dare to lie in the slightest. Besides, the Western Xuan Region was so big that even if a spirit cultivator went to ask others, he could easily get the answer he wanted to know.
"Reporting to Lord, the most powerful force in our Western Xuan Region is the Scarlet Phoenix Palace located in the center."
After getting the answer, Lin Xiu immediately put the person down. His figure flickered and he quickly approached the center. With his current physical body that had reached the Universe Realm, he could travel unscrupulously and did not have to worry about a strong burden on his physical body.
Soon, he arrived at the famous Scarlet Phoenix Palace in the Western Xuan Region.
He released his spiritual consciousness and searched carefully to see if there were any warriors worthy of his attention. To Lin Xiu\'s disappointment, apart from an old man who was tied up by nine Yin mysterious iron chains in a dungeon, he didn\'t find anything else.
"Hmph, they only left a few Sky Yuan Realm disciples to guard this place. The people of the Scarlet Phoenix Palace are really despicable and shameless."
Lin Xiu frowned and let out a cold snort. Then, he quickly headed towards the dungeon. He wanted to get some useful clues from the old man.
The door of the dungeon was extremely sturdy and could withstand the attack of an ordinary Universe Realm warrior. However, in front of Lin Xiu, everything was like tofu that was easily broken.
Lin Xiu slowly walked into the dungeon. The old man's eyelids were originally drooping, but at this moment, he suddenly raised his head with a look of shock.
He waved his hand and released an extremely powerful elemental energy, but the Nine Yin Mysterious Steel Chain only trembled slightly and did not break apart. This surprised Lin Xiu.
"Interesting."
Lin Xiu didn't believe it and walked slowly to the old man's side. He grabbed the chain with both hands and exerted force, but the chain didn't budge at all.
"Young man, I advise you to stop wasting your time. These Nine Yin Mysterious Steel Chains were specially made by the Crimson Royal Palace with the purpose of restraining the extremely powerful warriors. Without the strength of the Universe Realm, no one at the Eighth or Ninth Heaven can break it."
The old man shook his head slowly and refuted Lin Xiu's idea.
"Not necessarily."
As soon as he said that, the aura on Lin Xiu's body began to surge and very quickly, it reached the first step that even the elder was a little shocked. At this moment, not only did Lin Xiu completely mobilize the elemental energy in his body, but the blood and qi river also suddenly appeared in the dungeon. Lin Xiu, who was bathed in the long river, was awe-inspiring like a god. As his lips moved slightly, he gently spat out the word "open" and the originally impregnable Nine Yin Mysterious Steel Chains immediately broke.
Lin Xiu's strength at this moment was truly unparalleled.
Without the restraint of the Nine Yin Mysterious Steel Chains, the old man's originally shriveled body began to gradually become plump under the continuous infusion of heaven and earth spiritual energy.
Lin Xiu stood quietly at the side and watched the situation without any reaction. He still wanted to get some useful information from the old man. Moreover, from his judgment, he could also tell that the old man was only at the Third or Fourth Heaven of the Universe Realm and was not a match for him at all.
After about an hour, the old man's movements finally gradually stopped. A look of gratitude flashed across his face and he cupped his fists towards Lin Xiu, then said in a deep voice, "Thank you for saving my life, I will never forget it."
Lin Xiu just waved his hand and there was a lot of impatience in his tone.
"I only saved you because it was convenient. I want to ask you, where exactly did the people of the Crimson Royal Palace go? Why can't even a single powerful martial artist be found? "
Hearing Lin Xiu's words, a look of realization appeared on the old man's face and immediately after, his tone became extremely sorrowful.
"You may not know this, but I was originally an elder here. Before the Netherworld Palace launched the attack, I once sent someone to contact the Palace Lord. At that time, the opinion in the palace was not unified. Many elders thought that they would rather be killed by the people of the Netherworld Palace in a direct confrontation than to be a dog that waits its tail and begs for mercy." At this moment, there was still a touch of hatred in the old man's eyes. Obviously, the betrayal of the Crimson Royal Palace and the entire continent still bothered him to this day and he could not let it go.
"Back then, there were quite a number of Elders who had objected with me. However, most of them were secretly imprisoned by the palace master on the night that the meeting ended. This was because there was still a gap between our strength and the palace master's. Hence, other than a small number of people who successfully escaped, most of them ended up with the same fate as me."
Lin Xiu was a little puzzled about this. Previously, when he used his spiritual consciousness to sweep through the entire dungeon, he only found this old man alone. However, from what he said, there should be many extremely powerful Universe Mirrors.
"There's something wrong with what you said. I didn't find anyone else," Lin Xiu said coldly. Obviously, he did not completely believe the old man's words.
After saying this, turbid tears actually flowed from the old man's eyes. It was obvious that he was extremely sorrowful.
"Naturally, you won't find those old brothers anymore. After the people of the Netherworld Palace came here, one of them had extremely high attainments in the soul. He used a secret technique to refine all of them into puppets."
"Then, how did you survive?"
"Fellow Daoist, you might not know this, but before our Palace Lord had fully matured, I had watched her grow up. Thus, she still had a trace of compassion for me, which allowed me to escape that calamity."
Lin Xiu became silent. The truth was out. It was no wonder that the Netherworld Palace had so many powerful warriors who were not afraid of death. Maybe they were the puppets of the higher-ups who had rebelled against the Netherworld Palace and had turned into some forces.
This also made him even more resentful. The Netherworld Palace's actions were really devoid of humanity. Those who obeyed would live, and those who defied would die. Leaving such a sect in the world would only be a scourge.
"What is the situation on the continent now? Fellow, can you tell me? "The old man was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked Lin Xiu.
"The current situation on the continent is extremely not optimistic. The Netherworld Palace has occupied more than half of the territory of the Immortal Martial Continent with the momentum of tigers and wolves. Moreover, their forces are also extremely powerful. Many powerful warriors have been crushed to death by their absolute advantage." Lin Xiu suddenly let out a sigh.
"Sigh, is that so?" The old man shook his head.
Suddenly, he raised his head and stared closely into Lin Xiu's eyes. Then, he said something that made Lin Xiu wild with joy.
