Chapter 2068 dead?
"Huh?"
Deep within the encampment of the Divine Firmament Heaven Sect, the silence within an ancient hall was suddenly broken by a low exclamation. This voice revealed some surprise and bewilderment.
The owner of the voice was a skinny old man in a grey robe with wrinkles all over his face.
With a slight stretch of his arm, the right claw that was scrawny like a firewood grabbed towards the right of palace. In the next instant, a green glow floated over like a feather and landed in his palm. It was a piece of jade, about the length of a finger and the width of three fingers. It was thin like a cicada"s wing, sparkling and translucent as it emitted a faint green sheen.
"Strange! "Strange!"
After a short moment, the grey robed elder furrowed his brows and muttered to himself. In an instant, he shouted, "Chang Yuan!"
"Elder!"
A burly dark figure walked in through the door. His legs were stiff and his steps were weird. He looked like a zombie.
The grey robed elder said solemnly, "Chang Yuan, go and check it out immediately. See where junior brother Jiang Yu has been recently? Did you encounter any major mishaps? "
"Yes."
Chang Yuan bowed slightly and retreated in response, his figure disappearing very quickly.
Looking at the jade slip in his palm once again, the gray-robed elder"s brows did not relax. Instead, they tightened even more.
As Wu Xiangtian"s most powerful sect, the Divine Netherworld Sect had a total of two Heavenly Emperors. One was Jiang Yu, the other was a peak low-level Heavenly Emperor, and the last was this gray-robed old man named Du Zhongxuan, a Mid Level Heavenly Emperor.
At that moment, the jade piece in Du Zhongxuan"s palm contained the Mind Stigma s of the martial arts world.
In that instant, he actually felt an abnormally intense fluctuation from Jiang Yu"s Mind Stigma, which made him very suspicious.
Jiang Yu seemed to have encountered a great crisis.
Fortunately, the Mind Stigma did not disappear, which meant that Jiang Yu was still alive.
This caused Du Zhongxuan to be extremely suspicious, in these 18 days, although Jiang Yu"s strength was not at the top, but to be able to surpa.s.s him, was not a common occurrence, and in this Non-Phase Heaven stage, it was even more so. What kind of situation could have nearly caused the soul of a peak-level Sky Emperor to collapse and dissipate?
[How could someone threaten Jiang Yu to this extent in the Non-Phase Heaven?]
"Elder."
It was actually Chang Yuan who had walked in quickly, "There was news just now that returned to the sect. Elder Jiang had followed Tang Huan to the Non-Phase Heaven exit, and severely punished Elder Chu Ting, who had just returned from the void, so that he could enter the Immortal Confining Valley for a thousand years."
"Tracking Tang Huan?"
Du Zhong"s brows slightly raised, "That Tang Huan who was promoted to the level of a lower Heavenly Emperor a few days ago? Junior Brother Jiang Yu, why did you chase after him? " Saying that, a puzzled look flashed past Du Zhongxuan"s eyes. Just now, the violent movements of the River Fis.h.i.+ng Mind Stigma, could it have been caused by Tang Huan?
However, the moment this thought popped out, Du Zhongxuan subconsciously shook his head.
Once Tang Huan entered the Heaven Realm, she immediately ranked at the top of the King Ranking. Furthermore, after her first experience of the Great Cloud Sect, she only used five years to step into the Heavenly Emperor Realm. However, no matter how much talent he had, she was still a newly promoted Lesser Celestial Emperor. How could she possibly threaten Jiang Yu?
"That is unknown."
Chang Yuan shook his head, and just as he finished speaking, a "pa" sound suddenly rang out. The jade piece within Du Zhongxuan"s palm suddenly exploded, turning into a pile of green powder.
"This... "This..." The color of Chang Yuan"s face changed and he could not believe his eyes.
"Dead?"
Just a moment ago, he was glad that Jiang Yu was still alive, but did not expect that not long after, the Mind Stigma had completely collapsed, and Jiang Yu"s original body had also turned into ashes.
"Was it Tang Huan who killed him? How is that possible? "
Only after a while did Du Zhongxuan regain his senses. He took a deep breath and said in disbelief.
Almost at the same moment his words left his mouth, a voice came in from outside the hall. "Disciple Yang He seeks an audience." His tone was burning with anxiety.
"Come in."
Du Zhongxuan said in a deep voice.
"Yes sir!"
In the blink of an eye, a tall middle-aged man entered with large strides. His brows were filled with thick anxiety. Just then, news came from the entrance of the Non-Phase Sky, saying that the Great Master of the Rivers and Fisheries was unable to win against Tang Huan in time and was captured by him. "
This tall middle-aged man was Yang He, the current Sect Master of the Divine Firmament Sky Sect.
"It"s really Tang Huan?"
Du Zhongxuan was extremely shocked. Even though he had made such a guess, he didn"t care too much about it. After all, the probability of this happening was too small. But he never thought that the most impossible situation would be the most realistic one. Jiang Yu was actually captured by Tang Huan, and was even killed by him in the end.
"Absolutely."
Yang He nodded his head and said in a deep voice. His eyes still contained a trace of astonishment as he said, "Great. We must hurry up and set off to rescue the River Fis.h.i.+ng Grand Master."
Even now, Yang He still felt that it was somewhat unbelievable, but he had no choice but to believe it.
At the start of the battle between Tang Huan and Jiang Yu, all the Heavenly Kings who were originally on the platform were so frightened that they scattered. But not long later, a few bold Heavenly Kings quietly went through the tunnel and slipped in, and in the end, they saw Jiang Yu getting beaten up by Tang Huan and getting captured in the end.
When this news reached the Divine Firmament Heaven Sect, all the Heavenly Kings, including Yang He, were dumbstruck.
Jiang Yu and Du Zhongxuan, the two Celestial Emperors, were the Divine Firmament Sky Sect"s biggest backers. But now, one of them had been captured by a newly advanced Inferior Heavenly Emperor!
"It can"t be saved!" Du Zhong Xuan sighed and extended his palm towards Yang He.
"This... This … "Great …"
As the Sect Master of the Divine Firmament Heaven Sect, he was extremely clear on what the green powder in Du Zhongxuan"s palm meant. However, because of this, Yang He found it even more difficult to believe the truth before his eyes.
That was a peak-level DemiG.o.d, yet he died just like that?
Du Zhong Xuan collected his emotions and snorted: "Although I can"t save him, that doesn"t mean I can"t do anything? This old man will go over and take a look, I hope that Tang Huan has not escaped! "
The moment he said those words, Du Zhongxuan"s body expanded rapidly like a balloon, and the wrinkles on his face also spread out. In the blink of an eye, the originally short and thin Heavenly Emperor for Heaven had transformed into a burly, muscular man.
"Whooosh."
As if a cool breeze blew by, Du Zhongxuan"s figure suddenly disappeared from where he stood. Yang He and Chang Yuan subconsciously exchanged glances and chased after him from within the ancient palace …
