Soon, the Saint Emperor announced that this trip to the Nine Serenities Profound Palace was over. Everyone would be transported out of this endless dark void within an hour.
There were over a million people from the Shen Wu world, so the Saint Emperor obviously couldn't count them all. If anyone was left behind, they could only blame it on their bad luck.
However, normally, when the time came, everyone would be transported out of the Nine Serenities Profound Palace and appear near the giant stone tablet outside.
Many people from the Heavenly Mandate Manor and the North Snow Empire found Xi Yangwu and found that Long Yu wasn't with her. They couldn't help but feel a bit strange and asked: "Where did Long Yu go?"
Xi Yangwu couldn't tell them what happened, so she could only keep her mouth shut and shake her head, indicating that she didn't know either.
But now that Xi Yangwu was fine, Long Yu was probably fine as well. After all, the two of them had signed a life and death contract. Everyone else obviously knew this, so they didn't think too much about it. They all thought that Long Yu was somewhere else. With over a million people here, it was normal to not be able to find him.
Only Xi Yangwu knew that Long Yu was definitely still trapped in the Final Profound Palace and hadn't come out!
In less than an hour, a brilliant light suddenly appeared in the space. This light forcefully broke through the space and opened up a spatial passage near the giant stone tablet!
Everyone followed the Saint Emperor out of this spatial passage. As long as they entered it, they would return to the ten thousand floors of the Sacred Tower and return to the Shen Wu world.
No one dared to linger. If they fell behind, they would be trapped here for 50 years. And for such a long time, without any replenishment of Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi, even Emperor realm masters would definitely "starve to death" without any chance of survival.
After all, the space outside the Netherworld Profound Palace was an expanse of nothingness. It was a complete vacuum, without air or spiritual energy. Even though high level cultivators were able to survive in such an environment, they were unable to live here, and they would at most be able to persist for a few days before being unable to bear it.
High-level cultivators would also be "hungry", but when they were hungry, they needed to replenish the spiritual energy of heaven and earth instead of ordinary food. Of course, ordinary food could also be consumed by the cultivator's body, but the amount of food needed was huge.
Xi Yangwu was a little hesitant. Long Yu hadn't appeared yet. Should she leave with the others?
She pondered for a moment and decided to stay for the time being. Anyway, the exit would remain open for a while. She would wait for everyone to leave before she went to see if Long Yu had come out.
The people from the North Snow Empire and the Heavenly Mandate Manor were sent away by Xi Yangwu with a random reason. Even if she wanted to stay and wait for Long Yu, she alone was enough!
About half an hour later, over a million of Shen Wu world's Imperial Path Secret Realm cultivators had all left through this space tunnel, leaving behind only Lei Emperor and Flame Emperor to bring up the rear.
Seeing that Xi Yangwu still hadn't left, the two of them couldn't help but ask, "Why hasn't the lass left yet?"
"Long Yu still hasn't come out yet."
Seeing that it was Lei Emperor and Flame Emperor, Xi Yangwu told them the truth. She had interacted with these two emperors before and felt that they had good personalities, so it wasn't a big deal to tell them this.
"What?"
Lei Emperor and Flame Emperor were both shocked. Long Yu still hasn't come out? How is that possible!
Logically speaking, no matter who it was, they should've been transported out by that spatial power. Of course, that's excluding the other cultivators from beyond the sky, who weren't from the same group as the people of Shen Wu world.
However, how could Long Yu be sent to the ranks of the cultivators from beyond the sky?
What the two emperors didn't know was that even the two cranes from the Heavenly First Division had been teleported out. Now, only Long Yu was still inside!
"The forces from beyond the sky have already gathered and sent everyone away. Does that mean that only Long Yu hasn't come out yet?"
Lei Emperor's expression was a bit solemn as he said to Xi Yangwu, "Since nothing happened to you, then Long Yu must be fine. It's impossible for him to still be in the Nine Serenities Profound Palace. He was most likely teleported to the forces from beyond the sky."
Hearing that, Xi Yangwu knew that this speculation was impossible.
Because the Final Profound Palace was different from other places!
She and the two cranes from the Heavenly First Division were teleported to the same place, above the giant stone tablet. But Long Yu hadn't come out yet, so it was very likely that he was still trapped inside!
However, Xi Yangwu didn't want to tell the Five Emperors about the Final Profound Palace. She could only change the topic and ask, "Oh right, Lord Lei Emperor, Lord Flame Emperor, have you seen Senior Elder Murong Xiuzhen? We saw him in the Nine Serenities Profound Palace. At that time, he seemed to be being chased. I don't know … "
"You've seen him?"
Hearing that, Lei Emperor's expression changed. He anxiously asked, "We only sensed that he had lost his life through the Elder's Seal Tablet, but we don't know what happened. Did you see who was chasing him?"
Lost his life?
Hearing that, Xi Yangwu's heart skipped a beat. Then, she felt somewhat desolate. Elder Murong Xiuzhen had blocked the Zi Fan Curse for Long Yu, but now he had really died …
The Cymbal Clan was now an extremely important enemy in Xi Yangwu's heart. She thought that if she had the strength in the future, she would definitely exterminate this clan!
"I didn't see who it was, but the other party was very strong. I'm afraid he was from beyond the sky."
Xi Yangwu didn't tell the truth. After all, even if she told the truth, the Five Emperors wouldn't take revenge for Elder Murong Xiuzhen. After all, the other party was from beyond the sky!
Sure enough, hearing that it was from beyond the sky, the expressions of Lei Emperor and Flame Emperor changed. "It's actually from beyond the sky? That's against the rules! Looks like we'll have to interrogate the people from beyond the sky. But right now, there's nothing we can do. Unfortunately, we couldn't even find Elder Murong's corpse. "
The two Emperors' tone was a bit sorrowful.
The Alliance of Five Emperors was the most powerful force in Shen Wu world. It ruled over everything. But in the eyes of beyond the sky, the entire Alliance of Five Emperors was nothing but a puppet tool for them to rule.
Even the Five Emperors had to listen to the words of beyond the sky!
Luckily, the various forces from beyond the sky kept each other in check. Some of the rules set by their ancestors allowed the Alliance of Five Emperors to have the right to speak at certain times.
The two Emperors also wouldn't tell Xi Yangwu much. In their eyes, Xi Yangwu wasn't high enough to know too many things.
"It's about time. Girl, let's go back first. Long Yu won't have any accidents."
Lei Emperor comforted Xi Yangwu: "Maybe he was teleported to beyond the sky, that's why he didn't come with us. If that's the case, you'll have to meet again at the Realm Core of God Martial Arts. "
The Realm Core of God Martial Arts was a place where the strongest King realm cultivators and the top 10 Emperor realm cultivators could go. They could explore the Realm Core of God Martial Arts with the geniuses from beyond the sky and strengthen their inner world!
If Long Yu was taken away by someone from beyond the sky, then they could only meet again at that time.
But Xi Yangwu was 80% sure that Long Yu wasn't taken away, but was trapped in the Palace of Final Mysteries!
"Senior Lei Emperor, senior Flame Emperor, you should go first. I'll wait a bit longer. This space tunnel should last for another half an hour. When it's about time, I'll come out."
Xi Yangwu said to the two Emperors.
"How can we do that? Since you insist on waiting, then we'll wait with you. "
Lei Emperor's eyes widened: "As you said, this space tunnel can last for another half an hour. At that time, you have to promise to leave with us!"
"Alright."
Xi Yangwu nodded.
If Long Yu still hadn't come out at the last moment, Xi Yangwu naturally wouldn't keep waiting. After all, Long Yu would most likely be fine. After all, it was the Death Envoy who allowed Long Yu to enter the Palace of Final Mysteries. She believed that her Master wouldn't harm Long Yu.
This wait lasted for nearly half an hour.
At this time, only the three of them were left in the vicinity of the Nine Serenities Palace. Everyone else, whether it was the people from Shen Wu world or the forces from beyond the heavens, had already left this quiet space. Because there was nothing for them to do here, if they were one step too late, they might be trapped here and die.
However, as time passed, the three people present gradually felt that something wasn't right.
The giant stone tablet next to them was emitting a heart-palpitating aura. It was getting heavier and heavier, causing the three people's bodies to emit an eerie chill.
It was as if they were surrounded by the aura of hell. Even as strong as the three people were, they felt an endless chill, as if it was coming from the depths of their bones.
Moreover, as time passed, this chill became heavier and heavier. Even experts at the level of Lei Emperor and Flame Emperor couldn't bear it, let alone Xi Yangwu. But even so, Xi Yangwu still insisted on waiting until the space tunnel closed before she was willing to leave.
Lei Emperor and Flame Emperor both frowned.
The time for the space tunnel to close was very close, probably less than an incense stick's time. Previously, Long Yu hadn't come out for such a long time. The possibility of him coming out now could be said to be very small.
If they didn't leave now, they might all be frozen into ice!
"Girl, let's hurry up and leave. Since you're fine, Long Yu is definitely fine too. If we continue to stay here, you'll be the one in trouble instead."
Lei Emperor looked at Xi Yangwu, who was shivering in the cold, and couldn't help but advise her.
Xi Yangwu also didn't know what to do now. But to directly leave Long Yu here alone, she couldn't do it no matter what.
Just as she listened to Lei Emperor's advice and felt a little conflicted in her heart, an incomparably terrifying aura suddenly spread out from the direction of Nine Serenities Black Palace. It was as if the aura of hell had suddenly enveloped the entire world!
This explosion caused the three people's bodies to be completely frozen, and their consciousness to become a little fuzzy.
"Not good … Looks like something has happened … Let's hurry and leave …"
Flame Emperor immediately reacted, but it was too late.
An even more terrifying and eerie aura suddenly descended from the sky, enveloping the entire quiet space and enveloping the three of them. At the same time, a deafening voice that seemed to come from the endless ancient times resounded in their ears!
