CHAPTER 400: CHAPTER 247 THE FALL OF THE NETHERWORLD PALACE_2

A large number of Solid Array Piles were shattered...

In an instant, the mountain gate of the Netherworld Palace was completely exposed under Li Qian’s eyes.

"Who are you, and why are you attacking my Netherworld Palace?"

The Netherworld Hall Master led several Longevity Realm elders, flying into the air, and shouted loudly.

"Back then, your Netherworld Palace could destroy the Heavenly Sword Manor, today it’s just using the same method on you."

Li Qian said calmly.

"You, you’re from the Heavenly Sword Manor? Impossible, absolutely impossible, the strongest Lin Wushuang of the Heavenly Sword Manor has long perished. If the Heavenly Sword Manor had someone as strong in array formations as you back then, how could they not have shown up?"

The Netherworld Hall Master said incredulously.

To break the Mountain Protection Array of the Netherworld Palace so easily, it shows the high skill in array formations.

"There’s no need for you to know too much about this."

Li Qian shook his head, waved his hand, and a ray of red and white Sword Qi shot out.

The Netherworld Hall Master and others dared not be careless.

Even though he was alone, being able to wipe out all the forces of the Netherworld Palace in the Heavenly Sword Manor, the strength of this person is unimaginable.

Immediately, several of them joined forces to attack, unleashing spiritual power in all directions.

But under Li Qian’s Spirit Sword, their attacks were vulnerable and were instantly defeated.

"Spirit... Spiritual Artifact..."

The Netherworld Hall Master’s pupils shrank suddenly.

The overwhelming force tore through the many defenses set up by him and the other elders, and he felt a deadly threat.

This sword.

He couldn’t block it.

Even if everyone joined forces, they couldn’t block it.

Too terrifying.

This is a Spiritual Artifact.

And Li Qian hadn’t even used the Sword Dao Rhythm yet.

According to the previous tests at the Heavenly Sword Manor, the Two Forms Spirit Sword, combined with the Divine Firmament Fifth Sword containing the Five Layers of Profound Meaning, was enough to instantly kill ordinary Longevity Secret Realm experts.

These Longevity Realm experts of the Netherworld Palace, although the strongest Hall Master might be above the forty-two steps Return to Void, can still be classified as ordinary Longevity Secret Realm.

"Lord Di Tu, save me..."

In extreme fear, the Netherworld Hall Master cried out for help.

But there was no response.

The frightening Spirit Sword instantly pierced through his protective defense, penetrating through his forehead, taking away all his vitality. As for the Primordial Spirit... under the Soul-cutting Secret Technique, there was no suspense.

With the Spirit Sword piercing through like lightning, the other Longevity Realm elders of the Netherworld Palace couldn’t evade and had their heads pierced one by one.

Several bodies fell from the sky.

Only their Storage Devices fell into Li Qian’s hands.

Suddenly, he looked in a direction, and the Two Forms Spirit Sword shot out.

Bang!

With a roar, a strange silver radiance bloomed, like the moon rising over the sea, slightly slowing down the speed of the Spirit Sword.

"Fellow Daoist, please hold your hand, I am not from the Netherworld Palace."

A slightly panicked voice came from that silver radiance.

"Then who exactly are you?"

Li Qian looked at the figure within the silver radiance, showing a surprised expression.

This person’s skin was jet black, somewhat similar to the black-skinned people of the previous world.

However, this person only had black skin; in other aspects like facial features, there was no difference from the Human Clan.

Based on his understanding of the Longevity Realm, this jet-black-skinned person should be a Moon Clan member.

The Moon Clan is a powerful group that rules the Great Moon Empire. Although they have a small population, their Innate strength is very high, thus they have a place in the entire Longevity Realm.

Because of the small Moon Clan population, there weren’t many Moon Clan members in the Heavenly Spring Gobi.

Anyway, he had never seen one...

"I come from the Great Moon Empire. The reason I’m in the Netherworld Palace this time is simply to discuss a business deal; I have no intention of being an enemy to Fellow Daoist."

This Moon Clan member, Di Tu, said quickly.

What he feared most was that the other party was unreasonable and would kill directly. Although he was already at the forty-two steps Return to Void, judging from the fact that the other party had instantly killed several Longevity Realm of the Netherworld Palace, he was definitely no match.

That was a Spiritual Artifact.

And it was not an ordinary Spiritual Artifact.

In the vast Great Moon Empire, how many Longevity Realm possess Spiritual Artifacts?

Each one placed in the Great Moon Empire is a hegemonic existence.

Yet now, one appeared in this Heavenly Spring Gobi... He suspected this person was not local, but from the Eternal Dynasty.

But a hegemonic existence with a Spiritual Artifact, in the Longevity Realm, was definitely not nameless. He racked his brain but couldn’t match it with any information he had.

"Should I believe your words?"

Li Qian’s fingertips were entwined with red and white sword energy, he spoke calmly.

He was also evaluating in his heart.

If this person truly comes from the Moon Clan of the Great Moon Empire, killing him might provoke a formidable enemy.

The strength of the Moon Clan is beyond doubt.

Although his own strength was not weak, facing a powerful clan like the Moon Clan was unwise.

"Daoist, this is my identity token."

The Moon Clan member Di Tu sighed and said.

As he spoke, he displayed a crescent-shaped token.

Li Qian’s spiritual sense flickered, revealing the characters "Golden Moon Territory" on the token.

This represented the Golden Moon Lord, one of the five Moon Lords of the Great Moon Empire.

It was said that this Moon Lord was over seventy steps into the Return to Void realm, the youngest among the five Moon Lords... An being of such level must surely wield a spiritual artifact.

"Since you are from the Great Moon Empire, naturally you have no connection to the Netherworld Palace."

Li Qian chuckled softly and said.

Although he didn’t know why an elder from the Golden Moon Lord’s Longevity Realm would appear in the Netherworld Palace, he couldn’t be bothered to delve into it.

"Thank you, Daoist, I shall take my leave now."

The Moon Clan member Di Tu cupped his hands, then quickly departed.

As for the Netherworld Palace... he certainly couldn’t protect it, saving his life was more important.

Moreover, the destruction of the Netherworld Palace would have a significant impact on the Great Moon Empire’s arrangements in the Heavenly Spring Gobi. He needed to report back to the Moon Lord immediately.

After eliminating several Longevity Realm elders of the Netherworld Palace, Li Qian did not further attack the remaining martial artists of the Netherworld Palace.

He directly used an array to seal off the mountain gate of the Netherworld Palace so that no one could escape.

He then found a place to sit cross-legged, waiting for the remaining Longevity Realm elders of the Netherworld Palace to return.

If he intended to destroy the Netherworld Palace, it had to be thorough.

As for the remaining people of the Netherworld Palace, he directly sealed them within the grand array.

He disdained to slaughter the weak, leaving that task to Heavenly Sword Manor.

After all, the Netherworld Palace had once slaughtered Heavenly Sword Manor... so in the cycle of cause and effect, retribution inevitably came upon the Netherworld Palace.

Months later.

Within a secret chamber, a silhouette appeared.

But the next moment, a sword light emerged, piercing through the figure’s skull.

The person fell without reacting.

Dying in a state of utter confusion.

"I never expected that killing Longevity Secret Realm... would become this easy."

Li Qian withdrew his Spirit Sword, sighing inwardly.

According to the list provided by Heavenly Sword Manor, most of the Longevity Secret Realm elders of the Netherworld Palace were already dead.

Heavenly Sword Manor still had one in the Return to Void realm, but it was easily dealt with in a sudden joint attack by Lin Qingping and two others after just leaving the Return to Void.

"Daoist Qingping, now that matters here are settled, I shall first return to Heavenly Sword Manor to lay out the Mountain Protection Array anew."

Li Qian said to Lin Qingping.

Now that the Netherworld Palace had been completely erased from the Heavenly Spring Gobi.

The people of Heavenly Sword Manor were ruthless in their actions, practically slaughtering the Netherworld Palace to the last.

No wonder Lin Qingping and the others had such deep hatred for the Netherworld Palace; such slaughter had occurred at Heavenly Sword Manor over twenty years ago.

"Daoist Qian Yuan, thank you....."

Lin Qingping took a deep breath and spoke solemnly.

If it hadn’t been for Li Qian’s intervention, she feared she would have no chance of avenging herself, let alone rebuilding Heavenly Sword Manor.

"There’s no need for thanks; after all, I am a guest elder of Heavenly Sword Manor."

Li Qian chuckled.

Lin Qingping was momentarily taken aback, then immediately understood the intent behind Daoist Qian Yuan’s words.

As long as Daoist Qian Yuan continued to be a guest elder at Heavenly Sword Manor, reestablishing their foothold in the Heavenly Spring Gobi would not be difficult at all.

Moreover, the destruction of the Netherworld Palace would inevitably intimidate the various forces in the Heavenly Spring Gobi.

When Li Qian returned to Heavenly Sword Manor and began arranging the Mountain Protection Array, the sudden downfall of the Netherworld Palace spread like a hurricane through various channels across the Heavenly Spring Gobi.

Countless forces were alarmed!

Over twenty years ago, the sudden downfall of Heavenly Sword Manor at the hands of the Netherworld Palace had also caused massive shockwaves.

But now, the once mighty Netherworld Palace had followed suit.

Not only that, the previously destroyed Heavenly Sword Manor high profile announced its reconstruction, inviting the various forces of the Heavenly Spring Gobi to participate in the grand hall of reconstruction.

Many forces realized that the one who destroyed the Netherworld Palace was likely the long-gone Heavenly Sword Manor?
