At the bottom of the Heaven's End Cliff, the colour of blood filled the air. Within the thick fog, the chill was oppressive and the number of people lying in pools of blood was innumerable.
Having just gone through a great battle, a team of victorious men stood within the thick fog, panting heavily as they stared at each other through the Spirit Fire Globes in their hands.
There were more than a hundred of them in this team and every single one of them was shrouded in purple spirit power. The great battle earlier had taken quite a toll on them and now that the battle had just ended, they finally had a moment to catch their breath.
"Damn it. The Soul Return Palace, the Flame Demons Palace ….. They have all gone mad. They have been constantly sending people down to the Lower Realm and no one seems to know what they are thinking in their hearts." The leader of the team said as he stared at the corpses strewn all over the ground. Their team had just come down the Heaven's End Cliff not too long ago and they had not thought that they would run into people sent out by the other palaces. The several groups of people had bumped into each other and they all had a tacit understanding of each other's intentions.
"The Lower Realm has been in such a mess recently. I heard that the pawns the other palaces had planted in the Lower Realm had all been uprooted and the maps they had placed in the Lower Realm had also disappeared without a trace. How could they not be anxious?" Another man said, gasping for breath.
If it had been under normal circumstances, if they had really run into people from the other palaces, they would at most just throw out a few sarcastic and sarcastic remarks before finding an excuse to move on their own.
Although their goal was the same, whether they would be able to find the Dark Emperor's tomb would still depend on their own abilities.
Afterall, the various palaces of the Twelve Palaces were equal in power and unless it was absolutely necessary, they would not fight each other.
But now, the situation had changed.
"Ha, how arrogant were the seven palaces when they got their hands on the maps? They thought that they had found a clue and thought that they would be able to find the Dark Emperor's tomb first. But so many years have passed. What did they find? Didn't they still not find anything? They lost the maps they had handed over to the Lower Realm and now they suspect us. That's just too laughable. They don't have the ability themselves and they want to drag others down with them. Dream on! Do they really think they are invincible under the Heavens? " The leader spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva. They had won the battle just now by relying on their superior numbers. However, their opponents were after all people from other palaces, and their strength could not be underestimated. Even though they had won, they had suffered quite a lot of injuries.
"This time, it's all thanks to Elder's wit that we brought enough people. If it was like before, wouldn't we be falling into their trap again?" Another man sneered.
They were from the Flamboyant Palace of the Twelve Palaces. Among the Twelve Palaces, their might was ranked in the middle tier and they were the type that kept a low profile. All these years, they had not given up on pursuing the Dark Emperor's tomb and just like the other palaces, they had found some pawns in the Lower Realm who wanted to sell their lives for them. But just over half a year ago, the Lower Realm had been plunged into chaos and the pawns they had in their hands had all been wiped out. Hence, they could only do it themselves.
But from three months ago, the group of people they had sent to the Heaven's End Cliff to search for the Dark Emperor's tomb had not returned.
The Heaven's End Cliff was a dangerous place and they all knew that very well. Hence, every time they sent a team out, they would leave one or two people to stand guard at the top of the Heaven's End Cliff. If there was still no news after one and a half months, the people standing guard at the top of the cliff would send the news back.
But for three and a half months, not a single one of the groups of people the Flamboyant Palace had sent out had returned.
