Chapter 2841 - 2842: Investigating in Secret

Chapter 2841: Chapter 2842: Investigating in Secret

The vast space was filled with dazzling golden light, and the stars in the distance were like large diamonds embedded in this golden void.

Moreover, a mysterious aroma lingered at the tip of the nose, making one feel incredibly refreshed with just a whiff.

Perhaps sensing her shock, Wu Jun suddenly stopped walking and turned his head to give her a cold smile, as if to say.

How’s that? These evil beings haven’t tainted your eyes, right?

Tang Xiao was speechless and could only turn her head away, pretending not to see.

Soon, the group landed on a planet closest to the shimmering wall.

The planet was small, covered with vegetation, with only a tiny city standing in the middle of the continent.

The city was very simple, and the residents inside were extremely scarce.

"Young master, this is where the two of us usually reside. You can rest here!" Duan Muguang said.

Xue An surveyed the surroundings but didn’t find any information about the fragment on this planet, knowing it wasn’t here, so he nodded.

"Alright! But why are the two of you living in such a place?"

Duan Muguang gave a wry smile, "To be honest, the two of us were actually sent here to guard the city!"

"Oh? Guard the city?"

"Exactly, the wall formed by this radiance is the gate we guard!"

Xue An gave Duan Muguang a thoughtful glance and smiled faintly.

"It seems your situation at the Palace of Light isn’t particularly good!"

Duan Muguang sighed lightly, but before he could speak, Wu Jun interjected.

"Not just not good, it’s worse than pigs and dogs!"

As he said this, Wu Jun’s face was full of resentment.

"At first, the two of us followed your advice and sought refuge at the Palace of Light branch on the Western Continent. After providing information about our master, the Palace of Light attached great importance and quickly sent people to bring us to the headquarters!"

"At the time, we thought we’d finally see a turn for the better, and we wanted to repay them by finding out why our master ended up wandering the world!"

"But we never expected that after arriving here, the Palace of Light’s attitude would make a 180-degree turn. Nobody paid any attention to us, so we were left hanging for half a month, and eventually got dumped in this desolate place to guard the gate!"

By the end, Wu Jun’s face was full of anger.

Duan Muguang listened and also expressed long sighs and regret.

Xue An was slightly moved, "Who placed you here then?"

"Who else? Of course it was that bastard Liao Zhiji!" Wu Jun practically wanted to grind his teeth upon mentioning Liao Zhiji’s name.

Duan Muguang frowned and shouted, "Wu Jun!"

"What’s wrong? Liao Zhiji was so arrogant and completely disregarded the two of us brothers. Am I not even allowed to curse him a bit?" Wu Jun retorted angrily.

Duan Muguang sighed lightly, "Beneath the eaves, one has to lower their head. Liao Zhiji is indeed a conniving villain, but enduring this humiliation is nothing if we want to uncover the truth about our master back then!"

When mentioning their master’s matter, Wu Jun fell silent.

Obviously, Xue An had gathered most of the story.

These two brothers had no foundation and came to the Palace of Light headquarters on pure determination, only to be met with a hard lesson upon arrival.

Such things are all too common, so Xue An merely smiled and refrained from commenting.

His main concern now was to locate the Ancient Mirror fragment.

Though he only had a vague idea of its location, Xue An was at least 80% sure that the fragment was in the Palace of Light headquarters.

Although the city was small, it had all sorts of necessities, especially food, as 90% of this small planet was covered with dense forests, teeming with wild animals.

Simply hunting was enough to sustain the residents of this small city.

To repay Xue An for his past kindness, Duan Muguang and Wu Jun carefully prepared a sumptuous feast.

However, Xue An ate little of the banquet, most of which went to Tuan’er and Tang Xiao.

Especially Tang Xiao.

The girl seemed determined, finishing nearly half of the meat before she put down her chopsticks, satisfied.

After the meal, the three girls, exhausted, went to sleep early.

Duan Muguang and Wu Jun also retreated.

Leaving Xue An alone in the room.

He sat by the window, gazing out at the night sky.

Of course, there’s no moon here, but the void in this realm glowed with a faint golden light, painting the night sky with a golden glow, illuminating the night like a full moon.

In this silent night, Xue An’s Divine Sense gradually spread out and then leaped from this planet into the depths of the void.

Xue An’s Divine Sense had reached an unimaginable level, capable of covering vast distances instantly.

Xue An intended to find the Ancient Mirror fragment in this way.

But such action was extremely dangerous, especially in this realm where evil beings gathered.

Even though Xue An vaguely guessed from Wu Jun and Duan Muguang’s behavior that the Palace of Light might be the lawful faction among evil beings.

After all, with so many evil beings, it’s impossible for them all to be bad.

Especially in a dualistic situation, more benevolent evil beings are quite normal.

But evil beings remain evil beings.

The idea "those not of our race must be different in mind" holds true not only among the Human Clan but also among evil beings.

No one wants to gamble across species whether the other side is benevolent.

The chain of suspicion would quickly collapse, leading to a terrifying confrontation.

In such circumstances, once the evil beings in the Palace of Light detect a Human Clan member sneaking in and using Divine Sense to scout secretly, it would definitely cause an uproar.

Yet Xue An went ahead anyway.

Besides his confidence in his own strength, the urgent sense of impending doom fueled his resolve not to waste more time.

Since no one knows when the Giant Serpent Shuming will appear.

Perhaps it’s already hiding deep in the void, spying on him!

So Xue An had to quickly perfect his only trump card.

The Divine Sense spread like a tide rising silently in the darkness, expanding aimlessly.

One planet, two planets...

Soon, Xue An’s Divine Sense leaped over the nearby planets and used them as stepping stones to delve deeper.

But suddenly, an invisible barrier blocked Xue An’s Divine Sense and bounced it back.

Dong!

Xue An’s body trembled, his Divine Sense instantly returned to him, and under the shock, his complexion turned pale.

Such a strong barrier force!
