In the boundless darkness, there was no light, no sound, no energy, no flow of time, and no living things.
It was nothingness.
The Kunlun Chariot floated alone in the nothingness.
In the meeting hall, Chixue, Ying Hai, Lin Xuan, and the experts of the Kunlun Temple gathered together. The hall was silent, and the atmosphere was oppressive.
Chixue and Ying Hai looked gloomy, as if they had not recovered from the failure half a day ago. They did not say a word.
The higher-ups below did not even dare to raise their heads, as if they were afraid of angering the young masters.
The only one who looked relaxed was Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan sat in his seat and took out a jug of Drunken Dragon's Rising to the Heavens wine. He leisurely took a sip and slowly exhaled. A trace of satisfaction flashed through his half-closed eyes.
His actions attracted the attention of many, and they could not help but twitch their lips.
As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Everyone in the Kunlun Temple, from the young masters to the experts below, hoped to destroy the Emperor-slave while it was weak, and then rob it.
Unfortunately, although the Emperor-slave had suffered an unprecedented injury and was on the verge of destruction, an unexpected change happened just as everyone was about to rob it.
The biggest change was not that the Emperor-slave had taken out the Human Sovereign Sword.
The Human Sovereign Sword did not unleash its true power, and did not cause much damage to the Kunlun Temple.
The biggest change was the giant serpent Purple Emperor.
The giant serpent's strength was beyond everyone's expectations. It was able to suppress the two Divine Weapons and forced them to flee from the Realm of True Force.
Even if it escaped into the nothingness, it was still chased by the Purple Emperor for a long time before it could shake him off.
But because of this, the Kunlun Temple lost the best opportunity to rob the Human Sovereign Divine Weapon and the Emperor-slave.
Although they got a part of the Human Sovereign's inheritance, this was not enough to cover the losses of the Kunlun Temple and the Withered Wind Palace.
The Kunlun Temple lost more than 30 Transcendent Realm experts and more than 160 Heavenly Transformation Realm experts. The Kunlun Chariot was also slightly damaged. These losses were not small.
Of course, these losses were still much better than Withering Wind Palace's losses.
The Withered Wind Divine Tree of the Withered Wind Palace had been severely damaged by the giant python Purple Emperor. Even its trunk had a huge crack. If the Withered Wind Divine Tree wanted to recover its battle prowess, it would probably need to rest for at least a few decades.
In short, the Kunlun Temple had mobilized a lot of people to launch a punitive expedition against the True Martial World. So, it was a loss for them. At least, that was the case for now.
Chi Xue was the most annoyed. In order to seize the Human Emperor's Tablet, he had prepared for decades. Finally, he had waited for the right time, but all his efforts had been in vain. This made him extremely unwilling, and the anger in his heart surged up in waves.
At that moment, when he saw Lin Xuan's carefree expression, he could not help but be enraged. He could not help but shout at Lin Xuan, "Mo Xiao! You didn't return in time and caused my Kunlun Temple to lose 200 elites. I'm afraid you won't be able to escape this responsibility! You have to give everyone an explanation! "
Huh?
Lin Xuan was stunned. He was being attacked even when he was lying down!
He smiled faintly and said, "Brother Chi Xue, I know you're unhappy about this failure, but I'm not feeling good about it either! However, things have already happened. We still need to unite and think about how to end this as soon as possible.
As for what you said about me not returning in time and causing the loss of 200 elites, I can't agree with that.
Most of those 200 people died under the Human Emperor's sword. At that time, the Kunlun Chariot had already done its best. Everyone saw it. No matter how you look at it, you can't blame me for this, right?
Perhaps I was delayed for a while when I returned to help, I admit that.
However, everyone here is on the same side. There are some things that I don't mind saying. If I had returned earlier, the Withered Wind Divine Tree might not have been the one that was heavily injured, right? I believe everyone knows what's more important.
Therefore, in this mission, I don't think I did anything wrong. "
When everyone heard this, they nodded secretly.
Although the giant python Purple Emperor was ferocious, it had only killed a few people. Instead, it was the Withered Wind Divine Tree that had suffered most of its anger.
The Withered Wind Palace had lured the Purple Emperor to the Emperor Extremity Mountain with the intention of causing trouble.
If the Kunlun Chariot had returned earlier, the Kunlun Temple would have suffered greater losses.
Chi Xue snorted and did not speak anymore. He actually understood that it was a little far-fetched to push the blame to Lin Xuan. He was only unhappy when he saw Lin Xuan's indifferent attitude. Moreover, he could vaguely feel that Mo Xiao seemed to be satisfied with the current outcome.
Ying Hai said impatiently, "Alright, there's nothing to argue about. Everyone has done their best. Let's discuss what to do next!"
Everyone was silent for a moment. Then, Li Yiqiu stood out and said, "Young Masters, I think that we did not fail in this expedition to the Zhen Wu Domain.
After all, the Imperial Slaves have existed for tens of thousands of years. They are deeply rooted in the Zhen Wu Domain. It is unrealistic to want to wipe them out in one go.
Now, we have severely damaged the Imperial Slaves. Not only did we destroy their headquarters, but we also killed more than half of their higher-ups. Three of the four Divine Transformation Realm elites of the Imperial Slaves have died. The remaining one escaped with serious injuries. Those that escaped are no longer a concern.
I think that we should send more people to the Zhen Wu Domain and increase our efforts to kill the Imperial Slaves. We should not give the Imperial Slaves any time to recover and get the Human Emperor Divine Weapon as soon as possible. I believe that the Withered Wind Palace will do the same. We need to get ahead of them. "
Elder Mo Xifeng agreed. "What Li Yiqiu said makes sense. The Imperial Slaves are gone. Now is the time for us to reap the benefits. We should strike while the iron is hot and get the Divine Weapon before the Withered Wind Palace. I am willing to return to the Zhen Wu Domain and help the Temple get the Human Emperor Divine Weapon! "
"I am also willing to go to the Zhen Wu Domain …"
"I am willing to accept your orders …"
After Li Yiqiu and Mo Xifeng finished speaking, everyone's mind became active. They all volunteered to return to the Zhen Wu Domain and continue to kill the Imperial Slaves to get the Divine Weapon.
The Imperial Slaves had suffered heavy casualties. They were like a dying wolf. Perhaps they did not need others to do anything. They would not be able to live for long.
This was the best time to reap the benefits. The Imperial Slaves had ruled the Zhen Wu Domain for tens of thousands of years. They had accumulated countless resources. Who would not want to take a bite out of them?
The Human Emperor Divine Weapon and the Ancient Scroll of Milky Way. Perhaps they could not take the Human Emperor Divine Weapon for themselves. However, there were also some high-grade Dao soldiers, Spirit Dans, Cultivation Methods, and materials. The amount would be terrifying. Whoever took this mission would be able to make a fortune.
Suddenly, everyone's low spirits disappeared. Everyone was full of fighting spirit. In order to compete for this mission, they almost broke their heads.
However, not everyone could go to the Zhen Wu Domain to carry out a mission.
In the past, the Chaos Holy Temple had set their sights on the Zhen Wu Domain. They had even sent Divine Transformation realm experts like War Demon to infiltrate it.
However, the gigantic python was an unavoidable obstacle for the Chaos Holy Temple. Any expert above the Divine Transformation realm would be targeted by the Purple Emperor in less than a day once they entered the Zhen Wu Domain.
Eight hundred years ago, the reason why War Demon was imprisoned in the Dragon-Sealing Pagoda was because he was severely injured by the Purple Emperor. Eventually, he was captured by the Keelung Sect.
Therefore, those who were sent to the Zhen Wu Domain to carry out the mission could not be above the Divine Transformation realm.
After a discussion between Chixue and Ying Hai, they finally decided to send Mo Xifeng and another Elder named Feng Xuehan. They would lead eight hundred Kunlun Temple experts back to the Zhen Wu Domain to carry out the mission.
One of them was Ying Hai's subordinate while the other was Chixue's subordinate. The two sides would supervise each other.
As for Lin Xuan, he had his own mission. He was to establish a faction in the Zhen Wu Domain and gradually control it. He wanted to bring the Zhen Wu Domain into the Chaos Heavens as soon as possible.
Twenty days later, the Kunlun war chariot returned to the Ming Xu World and returned to the sky above the Ming Xu planet.
At the same time, the Kunlun Temple's teleportation passageway opened. Mo Xifeng and Feng Xuehan led the eight hundred Martial Dao experts through the passageway and infiltrated the Zhen Wu Domain.
As for Lin Xuan, he also led the 1,200 people he had chosen from the Kunlun Temple back to the Zhen Wu Domain.
Of the 1,200 people, only two hundred were Heavenly Transformation realm experts. The rest were Divine Astral realm experts.
As for how many of these people were spies planted by Chixue and Ying Hai, Lin Xuan did not care. He did not plan on using these people to control the Zhen Wu Domain.
…
Zhen Wu Domain, above the Southern Desolate Lands.
With a spatial fluctuation, a stocky and cold figure appeared out of thin air.
"Hehe, I, Lin Xuan, am back."
Lin Xuan stood in the sky as he looked coldly at the vast lands of the Zhen Wu Domain. The corners of his mouth could not help but curl into a deep smile.
He took out a wine bottle and gulped down a mouthful of strong alcohol. The biting cold smell of alcohol washed over his body, making him feel refreshed.
Now that he was back, he was still Lin Xuan. However, the Zhen Wu Domain was no longer the Zhen Wu Domain of the past.
This was because the sky of the Zhen Wu Domain had collapsed.
The Imperial Slave had been crippled.
Even though the Imperial Slave still had considerable strength in the various sects, he could no longer cover the sky with one hand.
In recent years, the Imperial Slave had destroyed the Saint Lotus Path in order to maintain his unique position. He had split the Dragon Soul Hall, forced the Lord of Demon Abyss and the Xuanyuan Lord to leave, and forced Lin Xuan to go into exile in the other world.
However, the Imperial Slave could not be truly invincible. A surprise attack from the Chaos Temple had beaten this colossus to the brink of death.
If things went as expected, the Zhen Wu Domain would be in chaos. It would be a real chaos, much more chaotic than the time when the Daqian dynasty was destroyed.
The Imperial Slave had ruled the Zhen Wu Domain for countless years. It was not that there were no enemies in the Zhen Wu Domain. Now that the Imperial Slave had declined, there would definitely be countless monsters that would jump out to hasten the destruction of the Imperial Slave.
It could be expected that those dynasties, sects, and clans that were controlled by the Imperial Dao Slaves would definitely launch a wave of strong retaliation, and numerous battles for power and profit would take place in succession, causing the chaos in the world to become even more chaotic.
Lin Xuan was happy to see such a situation.
He had always liked to fish in troubled waters. Only when the world was in chaos and the old order and rules were broken could he and the Saint Lotus Path have the opportunity to develop.
