Chapter 1638: Who’s That? (1)

Xuanyi Palace was located in the opposite direction of the Great Void central area.

The Great Void was very vast, and no one truly knew its bounds. In addition, the terrains would change with the passage of time. Hence, it was difficult to accurately chart the Great Void, especially during times of imbalance.

Xuanyi looked at Zhi Guangji and shook his head. “Of course not.”

“Then, don’t speak so righteously,” Zhi Guangji said.

“I did not speak righteously,” Xuanyi argued.

“Xuanyi and Zhao Yang reside in the north; Rou Zhao and Qiang Yu reside in the south. The four sides are in balance, and if anything happens to either side, it’ll cause the world to shake,” Zhi Guangji said. He paused for a moment to look at the west of the Great Void before he continued to say, “One of the Pillars of Destruction has already collapsed. Will the others follow suit?”

Xuanyi did not want to talk about whether the sky would collapse or not. Moreover, it was a taboo topic in the Great Void. He said, “You’re no longer in the Great Void. What does it matter to you if the Great Void collapses or not?”

Zhi Guangji shook his head and said, “Although I’ve left the Great Void, deep in my heart, I’ve always hoped the Great Void would flourish. If the Great Void collapses, then I’ll truly be homeless.”

Xuanyi carefully studied Zhi Guangji’s expression; Zhi Guangji was solemn and calm. It did not seem like Zhi Guang Ji was lying. He asked, “You still plan to return to the Great Void?”

At the same time, Xuanyi thought to himself, ‘If you want to return to the Great Void, go and look for trouble with the Sacred Temple! Why did you come to Xuanyi Palace?’

Zhi Guangji chuckled. He replied honestly, “I’ve never given up on returning to the Great Void.”

“Then, go to the Sacred Temple. Xuanyi Palace doesn’t welcome you,” Xuanyi said with a wave of his sleeve, “Zhang He, see the guests out.”

Energy rippled from one of the halls in Xuanyi Palace before a figure flew up and landed next to Xuanyi. Then, he looked at Zhi Guangji nervously before he said with a bow, “Please.”

Zhi Guangji did not seem angry. Instead, he said with a smile, “Since I’m already here, I’m not in a hurry to leave.”

Then, Zhi Guangji moved forward.

Xuanyi’s expression changed slightly. He focused his energy and released a soundwave as he said, “You want to force your way in?”

Xuanyi activated his protective energy.

The atmosphere became tense immediately.

A pearl above the main hall of Xuanyi Palace lit up.

Zhi Guangji stopped and looked at the bright pearl above the main hall for a few breaths before he said, “I can leave, but… I want to take back what belongs to me.”

“I’m afraid there’s nothing that belongs to you here,” Xuanyi said.

“That black wild boar,” Zhi Guangji said as he pointed at Xuanyi Palace.

“Wild boar?” Xuanyi laughed. ‘This excuse is too unreasonable, right?! How can the dignified Black Emperor fail to capture a wild boar?’

Just as Xuanyi was about to resolutely strike back, Zhi Guangji laughed and said, “I left a mark on him.”

“Why don’t you activate your mark then?” Xuanyi said, not lowering his guard in the slightest.

Zhi Guangji raised his hand, and black butterflies filled the air as they flew in all directions.

The tracking technique was truly amazing. It had the power to sweep through heaven and earth.

Suddenly, a litany of curses rang from behind an ancient tree not far from Xuanyi Palace’s main hall.

“You’re the wild boar! Your entire family is wild boars!”

Whoosh!

A figure flashed toward the main hall at lightning speed.

“???”

Everyone was stunned.

Xuanyi frowned. “A talking wild boar?”

Zhi Guangji laughed. “That’s what I think…”

Xuanyi turned around and looked. Although the figure was quite a distance away, the figure’s size and speed indeed resembled those of wild boars. Nonetheless, it was clear the figure belonged to a human.

Xuanyi asked, “Why did this person run to Xuanyi Palace?”

A cultivator next to Zhi Guangji said, “It’s because I chased him here so he escaped into the Xuanyi Palace.”

Zhi Guangji added, “If I don’t take him away, I’ll never leave.”

“How do I know you didn’t send him here on purpose? It might be a means for you to enter Xuanyi Palace,” Xuanyi said, becoming even more cautious.

Zhi Guangji shook his head. “You’re thinking too much.”

Zhi Guangji’s hand glowed, and the black butterflies merged into a streak of light.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Energy began to fluctuate, stirring up a violent wind, as the space began to twist.

At this moment, a scream rang from Xuanyi Palace.

Zhi Guangji said in a deep voice, “No one can escape the mark I left behind. Do you think you’ll be able to escape by hiding in Xuanyi Palace? With just a flick of my fingers, you’ll be instantly reduced into ashes by my mark. I’ll count to three. If you don’t come out…”

“Damn it! You’re so f*cking vicious!” Zhu Honggong cursed loudly. He really could not figure out when Zhi Guangji left a mark on him. He had no choice but to fly up into the sky.

Everyone turned to look at Zhu Honggong in unison.

At this moment, Zhu Honggong was really embarrassing to look at. He said through clenched teeth, “I’m from the Sacred Temple, and I came here under the orders of the temple. You dare to touch me?”

Zhi Guangji said, “It’s pointless for you to use the Sacred Temple to threaten me.”

Zhu Honggong laughed before he pointed at Zhi Guangji and fiercely said, “What are you pretending for? You’re more afraid of the Sacred Temple than anyone else. If you dare to touch me, the Temple Master will rip you into shreds.”

Zhi Guangji frowned.

‘Indeed, the Sacred Hall and Ming Xin aren’t to be trifled with… How did this kind of low-class cultivator, who relies on others’ power, get the Great Void Seed?’

At the same time, Xuanyi looked at Zhu Honggong strangely, wondering who Zhu Honggong was.
