Jianchen and Nubis swallowed the Watersoul Pearl and changed their presence to that of the Sea race. Afterward, they left the artifact space together.
Jianchen and Nubis erased their presences and carefully made their way to the Dahl tribe.
At this moment, several tremendous presences appeared from behind. Gade, Yao Jun Yun Feng, and a few others caught up with them with lightning speed. They directly made their way to Jianchen and Nubis.
Jianchen and Nubis immediately became nervous. It was impossible for them to escape from six Holy Emperor experts, especially when one of them was at the Sixth Heavenly Layer of the Holy Emperor.
"Stay calm. Don't give yourself away." Jian Chen stopped and communicated with Nubis secretly. If they fled at a time like this, they would definitely raise the suspicions of the enemy.
Gade, Yao Jun Yun Feng, and a few others arrived before Jianchen very soon. They studied Jianchen and Nubis and saw that they were only Saint Rulers, so they did not treat them with any importance.
"Seniors, may I ask what you need?" Jianchen clasped his hands at them and asked politely.
"Did the two of you see a woman in azure clothes fly by?" Yao Jun Yun Feng looked at Jianchen and Nubis arrogantly and asked condescendingly.
"I didn't see him," Jian Chen said seriously.
A gleam of light flashed through Gade's eyes. He asked, "I remember the two of you. Weren't you at the auction house? Why have you appeared here?"
Yao Jun Yun Feng and the others all looked at Jianchen and Nubis. Cold light flickered through their eyes as they became surprised and doubtful.
Jianchen and Nubis's hearts sank slightly. They had never thought that the great Gade would actually remember two juniors that he had only met once. If they did not explain the matter clearly, it would raise suspicions. At a crucial moment like this, even the slightest misunderstanding could lead to death.
"Senior, soon after we left Gade City, we sensed many experts flying in the same direction. Driven by curiosity, we followed them to see what was going on, which is why we've appeared here." Jianchen made up a random excuse in hopes of getting away with it.
"With their strength as mere Saint Rulers, how can they participate in this matter? Yun Feng, let's go find Qing Yixuan quickly. We can't waste time here," a Holy Emperor at the Third Heavenly Layer said arrogantly. He was very disdainful of Jianchen and Nubis.
"Fair enough. The matter at hand is to find Qing Yixuan." Yao Jun Yun Feng nodded and flew off into the distance.
The other four Holy Emperors who were fighting over the Eight Wastelands followed closely behind Yao Jun Yun Feng. Although they were not on the same side, they all had the same goal. They planned on gathering everyone's strength to deal with Qing Yixuan. Qing Yixuan was just too powerful, and she had two other powerful helpers. If they came across her alone, they would struggle to deal with her.
With Yao Jun Yun Feng's departure, Gade did not make things difficult for Jianchen and Nubis. He flew off in another direction.
Jianchen and Nubis finally relaxed as they watched the figures fly off into the distance. Without any hesitation, they immediately flew off in the direction of the Dahl tribe.
When Jianchen and Nubis returned to the Dahl tribe, the news that Qing Yixuan had taken away the Eight Wastelands rapidly spread. It reached the entire region of the Serpent God Hall very quickly and caused quite a stir. Many experts of the sea realm and a few peak clans who coveted the map began to form groups to search for Qing Yixuan.
The Holy Emperor Hao Jia dragged his heavily injured body back to the territory of the Heaven's Spirit Hall. Before he could return to his clan, he immediately made his way to the very center of the Heaven's Spirit Hall.
A huge, majestic divine hall hovered in the air at the center of the Heaven's Spirit Hall. It radiated with a great pressure that filled the surroundings.
The Holy Emperor Hao Jia entered the divine hall without any obstructions before being led to a majestic discussion hall by a guard.
An old man in black robes sat high up in the Discussion Hall. The old man was short, only a meter tall, but his eyes were brimming with vigor. A boundless pressure radiated from his short body, enveloping the entire hall.
The old man was one of the hall elders of the Heaven's Spirit Hall. He was one of the people with the greatest status in the Heaven's Spirit Hall aside from the hall master.
The Holy Emperor Hao Jia immediately became respectful before the hall elder. He dared not to be arrogant at all. He clasped his hands at the hall elder, "Hao Jia greets the esteemed hall elder."
The hall elder stared at the Holy Emperor Hao Jia calmly and asked, "Why have you come looking for me?"
"Esteemed hall elder, I have already successfully bought the incomplete map of the Eight Wastelands, but one of the eight human experts, Qing Yixuan, stole it from me along the way. Qing Yixuan is an outsider, yet she interferes with the matters of the Sea race. She has gone too far and cannot be forgiven. I, Hao Jia, do not have the strength to deal with the human experts, so I hope the esteemed hall elder can help me, Hao Jia, and take back the incomplete map of the Eight Wastelands that belongs to me," the Holy Emperor Hao Jia said angrily.
In the world of the Sea Tribe, the Three Great Temples had a supreme status and were the supreme rulers of the sea region. At the same time, they had a strong sense of territory. If there were internal conflicts between clans, the Three Great Temples would generally not intervene. However, if there were outsiders causing trouble in the sea region, the Three Great Temples would definitely not stand idly by.
The hall elder closed his eyes in thought and said, "Hao Jia, five of the eight human experts have already pledged their loyalty to the three halls, while Qing Yixuan has pledged her loyalty to his majesty, Poseidon. If my Heaven's Spirit Hall moves against Qing Yixuan, it will definitely cause his majesty, Poseidon, to stop us. It might even lead to conflict. Do you think my Heaven's Spirit Hall is willing to take that risk to deal with Qing Yixuan over such a small matter?"
"What? Qing Yixuan has already pledged her loyalty to his majesty, Poseidon? Did she steal the Eight Wastelands because of Poseidon's orders?" The Holy Emperor Hao Jia asked in surprise.
The hall elder shook his head, "Don't look into the matter of the Eight Wastelands. Now that all eight fragments have appeared, three of them belong to the Hall of Poseidon, three to the Serpent God Hall, and two to our Heaven's Spirit Hall. I think we'll begin searching for the Eight Wastelands Divine Halls before long."
"Twenty people can enter each fragment. Once we begin searching for the Eight Wastelands Divine Halls, my Heaven's Spirit Hall will personally come forward and discuss with the two clans that possess the Eight Wastelands Divine Halls. We'll get them to give up twenty spots and allow some people who have reached the peak of the 14th Star in battle prowess to participate. We'll ensure that the strongest group can enter the divine halls and obtain the greatest benefits."
…
The pale-faced Qing Yixuan currently sat in an underground room within the territory of the Hall of Poseidon. Her face was slightly black, having been poisoned.
The venom of the Golden-striped Silver Snake was just too powerful. With her great strength, she could only barely suppress the venom within her body. She was unable to force it out.
Before Qing Yixuan sat a middle-aged man with a striking appearance. The middle-aged man had a resolute face that had weathered many hardships, and he naturally radiated with the dignified presence of someone who had been in a high position for a long time.
"You're quite injured. Looks like there are quite a few experts fighting for the Eight Wastelands, but it's all worth it. If you obtain that item, your strength will increase by a lot. Even if you come across the Holy Emperor of the Ninth Heavenly Layer, you won't have to fear him," the middle-aged man smiled as unconcealable joy filled his face.
Qing Yixuan sat there with a pale face. She said emotionlessly, "You're probably going to be disappointed. The Eight Wastelands isn't with me."
The middle-aged man was stunned. He immediately sat up straight and said in surprise, "What? The Eight Wastelands isn't with you?"
Qing Yixuan's bright eyes immediately became filled with heavy killing intent. She gritted her teeth and said, "Originally, I had already taken away the Eight Wastelands, but in the final moment, two juniors ambushed me while I was heavily injured and stole the Eight Wastelands."
"Juniors? How strong are they? "The light in the middle-aged man's eyes flickered as he stared at Qing Yixuan closely.
"They're not at the Holy Emperor's level," Qing Yixuan's voice was extremely cold. Qing Yixuan's voice was extremely cold. A powerful killing intent and fury radiated from her uncontrollably, causing the temperature in the room to plummet.
In her mind, she couldn't help but recall the scene of her Eight Desolation Map Fragment being snatched away, as well as her personal belongings being snatched away. This made her even more furious and murderous.
"Qing Yixuan, with your strength, two juniors who haven't even reached the level of the Holy Emperor have stolen something from you. The middle-aged man found this rather hard to believe.
Qing Yixuan suddenly sat up and stared at the middle-aged man aggressively. She growled, "That's just how it is. It's up to you whether you believe it or not. I'm deeply poisoned. I need to return to the divine hall immediately to be detoxified, so I won't keep you company." Qing Yixuan angrily turned around and left in a hurry.
"Qing Yixuan, according to our agreement, you haven't completed your mission, so I can't give it to you," the middle-aged man said emotionlessly.
Qing Yixuan's body paused. Immediately, she disappeared from the secret chamber. She thought in her heart, "Once my injuries have healed, I will go and take back the Eight Desolation Map fragment. I will definitely not let those two brats off. I will definitely chase you to the ends of the world. I, Qing Yixuan, swear that I will not rest until I kill you.
Qing Yixuan announced very soon after she left, "The Eight Wastelands is not on me. It was stolen by two Saint Rulers, a human and a magical beast."
As soon as she announced this, it caused an uproar. Qing Yixuan was one of the eight great human experts famed in the sea realm, yet two Saint Rulers had actually stolen something from her. Many people found this hard to believe.
Even with that being the case, the people searching for the map fragment still paid attention to one thing. Aside from Qing Yixuan, they also searched for the Saint Rulers of the humans and magical beasts. Basically, whenever they came across a Saint Ruler, they would stop them and question them regardless of who they were. It made the humans and magical beasts grumble, but there was nothing they could do.
