Chapter 1248 - 412: Celestial Master Executes the Emperor of the Mortal World at Penglai

Chapter 1248: Chapter 412: Celestial Master Executes the Emperor of the Mortal World at Penglai

Inside the Netherworld.

Within Fengdu City.

Tian Lingfeng also returned from the alien Khanate Mortal Realm: "Sect Leader, what urgent matter required your summoning?"

Sect Leader Ji Yao of Inner Mount Shu was instead deep in thought at that moment.

After a short while, he spoke: "When I went out previously seeking opportunities, I inadvertently discovered two people in confrontation."

Ji Yao turned his gaze to Tian Lingfeng and Lu Changpeng: "One of them was Emperor Tang, Zhang Wantong."

Tian Lingfeng and Lu Changpeng exchanged a look: "She has actually left the Tang Dynasty Human Realm?"

Ji Yao: "No mistake, it was definitely her."

Although he had never met Emperor Tang, Zhang Wantong face-to-face, the other party had always been the Great Tang expert that Inner Mount Shu paid the most attention to.

Tian Lingfeng: "And her opponent?"

Ji Yao: "Should be someone from our Taoist Sect, but the specific details are unclear. To avoid exposing myself, I did not approach."

One reason was not wanting to get involved in this battle.

The other reason was for secrecy.

The secret of the Empress leaving the Tang Dynasty Human Realm was discovered by the Netherworld, and the Netherworld could exploit it.

But if the Empress noticed this, she might grow wary and try to quickly return to the Human Realm, which would not be beneficial for the Netherworld’s actions.

"The battle between them was intense, showing signs of trembling." Ji Yao said in a low voice: "What we need at this moment is speed!"

Lu Changpeng took a deep breath: "The member of the Witchcraft Sect, Zonghan, in the Tang Dynasty Mortal Realm mentioned that the three great masters of Celestial Master Mansion are all currently unaccounted for, and Celestial Master Xuanxiao Zi did recently emerge with the Celestial Master’s Three Treasures!"

Tian Lingfeng frowned: "If their whereabouts are unknown, they might still be in the Tang Dynasty Human Realm and could appear at any time..."

Ji Yao: "And the whereabouts of that Chen Donglou?"

Lu Changpeng: "It’s said that he hasn’t appeared in the Tang Dynasty Mortal Realm for several years."

Ji Yao: "According to Zonghan’s words, currently in the Tang Dynasty Human Realm, besides Emperor Tang and the four Mahayana members of Dragon Tiger Mountain, how many Ninth Heavenly Layer cultivators are there?"

Lu Changpeng: "There are two from the Tang Imperial Court, one named Shangguan Yunbo, and another named Xiao Xueting.

Three from the Southern Wildernes Witchcraft Sect, belonging to the lineages of Divine Dance, Blood River, and Cursed Prayer.

However, these five along with the newly ascended Mahayana Realm Daoist Yuan Mobai from Dragon Tiger Mountain, as far as known, have only recently entered the Ninth Heavenly Layer realm."

Ji Yao mused for a moment before saying: "We head to the summit of Mount Shu in the Great Tang, to welcome the Purple Azure Twin Swords and other treasures back to the Netherworld, with Dragon Tiger Mountain... not included in this plan."

Tian Lingfeng felt it was still somewhat risky in his heart.

Lu Changpeng complied: "I shall strictly follow Sect Leader’s command."

......

Lei Jun traveled over the Penglai Sea when his mind suddenly stirred slightly.

Due to the layers of void separation, his current communication with the Tang Dynasty Human Realm was not so convenient.

But as Lei Jun focused, his eyes and the Jade Pure Heavenly Mirror suspended in the sky both flowed with Heaven-piercing Earth-penetrating Taliscript.

Through the union, the flashing brilliance allowed Lei Jun to communicate with the other arrangements he left in the Tang Dynasty Human Realm.

In the Tang Dynasty Human Realm, at this moment, star-like glimmers suddenly lit up in the ethereal sky.

The glimmers were ethereal and far from the ground, invisible to the naked eye.

Yet, as the mirror light subtly flowed, it then condensed into a delicate silver-white light stream, spreading into the distance.

Dots of starlight connected to form a mesh, gradually covering a large area.

The sight illuminated by the brilliance, despite being separated by layers of void, still successfully entered Lei Jun’s sight at this moment.

He then saw in the Southern Wildernes Lands, a certain location where the void was turbulent, and gray mist surged from beneath.

Although it was only an image and its chilling aura could not be felt, Lei Jun, having personally traversed the Netherworld, was all too familiar with it.

The Netherworld Gate reopens within the Tang Dynasty Human Realm.

Within the portal, faint human figures began to appear.

Seeing the swirling, surging dark aura, it was evident that the arrivals had profound cultivation and prowess, prompting Lei Jun to calmly halt the light mirrors he left in the Tang Dynasty Human Realm from continuing to observe this part of the Netherworld Gate.

Compared to the Jade Pure All-Heaven Precious Mirror, these light mirrors excelled in quantity and coverage, though individually weaker.

Not only was their observational ability weaker than the Jade Pure Heavenly Mirror, their self-concealment was also inferior to the Jade Pure All-Heaven Precious Mirror.

If they simply stared directly at observing Ninth Heavenly Layer experts, they would easily be detected.

Yet for now, they had played an important role.

Although Lei Jun took the Jade Pure Heavenly Mirror out of the Tang Dynasty Human Realm, he left the vast expanse of Star River Sky Net in the Tang Dynasty specifically to guard against situations like this.

Noticing that apart from the Netherworld Gate, there were no other changes, Lei Jun, who was in Penglai, did not rush back to the Human Realm.

He conveyed the relevant information to his mentor Yuan Mobai at Dragon Tiger Mountain, then asked Yuan Mobai to contact Zhang Hui who had quietly returned to the Imperial Capital Luoyang earlier, as well as the members of Mount Shu Sect.

Lei Jun himself later once again unfurled the Star River Sky Net.

But this time the observational target was not the Inner Mount Shu members in the Netherworld.

Dispersed light mirrors rotated individually, quickly identifying the person Lei Jun sought.

The Holy Master of the Sacred Land Golden City Stronghold of the Ghost Tao Lineage of the Southern Wildernes Witchcraft Sect, "Ghost King" Zonghan.

This trip, it was indeed this scoundrel helping the Netherworld open the portal.

Zonghan was not greedy; he often withdrew after obtaining benefits from the Netherworld and never acted alongside the cultivators of Inner Mount Shu Lineage in the Human Realm.

Thus, Lei Jun and the Tang Imperial Court members repeatedly failed to intercept him.

The newly expanded Star River Sky Net by Lei Jun, though vast, still had its limits, so it was only used to focus on key areas.

This time, with Zonghan actively revealing himself, it would be hard for him to escape again.

Lei Jun specifically allocated the Star River Sky Net to closely track his movements.

Having completed the relevant arrangements, Lei Jun then withdrew his attention back to the Penglai side.

The Jade Pure Heavenly Mirror radiated brilliance anew, resuming the search for the Taiyi Primordial Tower.
