In the distance, Lin Xun narrowed his eyes. The white-haired old man was clearly a true Emperor.

However, in a flash he vanished like smoke!

Most frighteningly, the purple-clothed woman had simply patted him on the shoulder—a seemingly gentle and soft touch.

This was what made the scene so chilling!

The remaining two, like the white-haired old man, were also Emperors. Yet, the previous event drained the color from their faces, contorting them with panic and terror.

“Go find out about the whereabouts of the Divine Apparatus Profound Sect experts. I will give you seven days. In seven days, I want leads that will guide me to the True Dragon World.”

The purple-clothed woman looked at the gray-robed middle-aged man. “You can try to escape, but the clan behind you, your family, and friends will be buried with you.”

“Yes.” The middle-aged man’s face turned cloudy. Though unwilling, he gritted his teeth and accepted the order.

Before the purple-clothed woman could say anything, the remaining silk-robed man quickly reported, “Senior, I have found out that Lin Xun, the remnant of Fangchun Mountain, does not belong to this world, but comes from the Ancient Wasteland Domain!”

“Oh?”

Clearly, she was not happy with the answer.

A wave of fear washed over the man and he quickly added, “Lin Xun once caused a huge disturbance in the Kunlun Dominion, but before that, no one had heard of him in the Ancient Nebula Road. Also, I asked a friend from Earth Treasury Realm, and he also said that Lin Xun previously trained in the Ancient Wasteland Domain…”

In the distance, a shadow crossed Lin Xun’s face.

That woman in purple is inquiring about me!

Does this mean she is aware of my identity and origin?

Sure enough, when the silk-robed man finished speaking, the woman nodded. “It turns out that this remnant of Fangchun Mountain is indeed that bitch’s child...”

Her voice carried a rare note of excitement. She was like a beast eyeing her prey.

“Where is he?” she asked.

“A while back, he was being hunted down by various major forces of the Central Plain State...” The silk-robed man answered promptly, as if he had been well-prepared. Then, he reported everything he knew about the hunt for Lin Xun that happened a while ago.

“They all died?” The outcome of the pursuit surprised the purple-clothed woman, and she adopted a contemplative expression.

The silk-robed man answered, “Yes, based on external analysis, Lin Xun should hold many life-saving trump cards on him. Ordinary Emperors are just no match for him.”

“Then do you know where that boy is now?” asked the purple-clothed woman.

The silk-robed man shook his head. “Since that failed attempt to kill him, no one has heard of any news about him, nor does anyone know where he went.”

The purple-clothed woman fell silent for a moment.

After a long while, she said aloud, “Go and find out where he is and give me a satisfactory answer within seven days.”

The silk-robed man’s voice trembled. “What if...what if I find nothing?”

The purple-clothed woman simply glanced at him and said nothing.

However, the silk-robed man already knew the horrible consequences of failing the task. His face turned deathly pale, and after a long pause he finally agreed in a bitter tone and turned away.

In front of the ancient hall, only the purple-clothed woman remained.

Swoosh!

On her shoulder, an illusory figure suddenly emerged. It was only one foot tall and was enveloped in black taboo aura that blurred its appearance.

Upon seeing the figure, Xi, who had been watching disinterestedly, couldn’t help but narrow her eyes.

“Yanxing, at this time, you are still concerned about a worthless remnant of Fangchun Mountain?”

The illusory figure thundered, “Quickly take me back to the clan! Otherwise, I will completely perish!”

He seemed extremely irritable and angry.

Despite that, the purple-clothed woman who was called Yanxing remained calm and collected. “Ninth Granduncle, your cultivation and your real body have already been destroyed by Combat Emperor. If I hadn’t rescued you, I doubt your extremely weak soul would have survived.”

After a pause, she continued, “Besides, even if I take you back to the clan now, given the clan’s present strength, it is impossible to restore you.”

“Yanxing! How dare you curse me?”

An enraged roar erupted from the blurry figure. “If it weren’t for me, how would you have leaped through the dragon’s gate and be regarded highly by the clan leader?”

Yanxing responded expressionlessly, “Nine Granduncle, trouble comes out of the mouth. You should rationally think about your current situation first. The clansmen probably already thought you were dead. Tell me, if I accidentally wiped out your remaining wisp of soul, would I be punished for it?”

The blurry figure suddenly stopped speaking.

“Ninth Granduncle, I was ordered to come to the Ancient Nebula Road during the primeval era, and I have yet to complete the mission. Do you think I don’t want to go back to the clan...” Yanxing uttered. “You know better than anyone else that if I fail to complete the mission, I would face the most horrible punishment upon return.”

The blurry figure said hoarsely, “What on earth are you planning to do?”

“You don’t need to know, just follow me.” Yanxing said indifferently, “If my guess is right, in about a month, a big shot like you will come to the Ancient Nebula Road and take control of the taboo law order power that covers the world. At that time, it will be time to close the net...”

The next moment, she disappeared with the blurry figure.

Only the setting sun remained, casting a vast and desolate hue over the world.

……

The ancient buildings were huddled together in a hushed, empty stillness.

Watching this from afar, Lin Xun couldn’t stop his emotions from fluctuating.

He was certain that his mother Luo Qingxun and the others had fled from the other side of the cosmos a long time ago to escape the pursuit of the purple-clothed woman called Yanxing and the clan that she belonged to!

Xi suddenly sent a voice transmission to Lin Xun. “Do you know who that wisp of soul was?”

It finally struck Lin Xun. “Could it be...Nameless Esteemed Emperor?”

“That’s correct. It’s him.”

Xi’s voice was ice-cold. “When I was in the Ancient Wasteland Domain, every time I came out of the Omega Secret-Realm, the attacks I encountered were from the taboo law power that he controlled. I didn’t expect that a wisp of his soul was still lingering in this world after being killed by your senior brother.”

Lin Xun’s expression changed.

The culprit who hunted down his mother Luo Qingxun turned out to be from the same clan as the Nameless Esteemed Emperor and even addressed him as ‘Ninth Granduncle’!

All of a sudden, thoughts raced through Lin Xun’s mind.

“According to what that woman said, a new Nameless Esteemed Emperor will appear in one month...” Xi’s voice took on a solemn tone for a rare moment.

One month!

The shadows of the taboo law power would once again shroud the Ancient Nebula Road. At that time, it was unknown what kind of terrifying changes would happen to the world, but there was no doubt that the new Nameless Esteemed Emperor would avenge ‘Ninth Granduncle,’ and his target was most likely Lin Xun!

“Back in the primeval era, a woman called Yanxing came here to hunt down my mother and Mister Lu. She came to the Divine Apparatus Profound Sect because she wanted to find out about the True Dragon World, does this mean that my mother and Mister Lu…are in the True Dragon World?” Lin Xun suddenly asked aloud.

“It’s possible, but I think if she knew about your whereabouts, she would definitely abandon her plan to head to the True Dragon World and instead deal with you.”

Lin Xun’s dark eyes flashed. Xi was right.

After remembering the scenes left by Lu Boya back then, which were created by the imprint of his will, Lin Xun understood that he himself, who possessed the complete Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer Aeth Artery, was the target that Yanxing wanted to eliminate the most!

Taking a deep breath, he said aloud, “Senior, I plan to go look for the Divine Apparatus Profound Sect experts. If I can get to the True Dragon World before Yanxing, maybe I can avert the disaster.”

Xi nodded.

For countless years, she had been guarding the Omega Secret-Realm. She had met Lu Boya and had witnessed the frightening power of the will left by Omega Lord Luo Tongtian.

Of course, she also knew about Lin Xun’s identity and background better than anyone else.

That day, Lin Xun and Xi traversed the cities near Tong Mountain, inquiring along the way.

However, to Lin Xun’s surprise, no one knew about what happened with the Divine Apparatus Profound Sect.

Of course, no one also knew where the descendants of the sect had gone.

Before they knew it, seven days passed by.

Lin Xun still found out nothing, which made him realize that the Divine Apparatus Profound Sect must have detected danger ahead of time and vanished without anyone noticing.

He and Xi returned to Tong Mountain. Unlike seven days ago, the entrance to the Divine Apparatus Profound Sect was crowded with countless cultivators.

It was like they had discovered a treasure house, searching everywhere for rare treasures left in this blessed land. After all, the clan that occupied one of the most blessed spots in the world had completely disappeared, making it a prime target for many cultivators.

There were even some forces that wanted to take over this blessed land.

“I wonder if Yanxing has found descendants of the Divine Apparatus Profound Sect…”

Lin Xun furrowed his brows in a deep frown. He realized that Yanxing would likely not show up here again.

After a while, he shook his head and turned away.

On the way, he remembered something. In around half a month, a new Nameless Esteemed Emperor would appear in the world and he likely would stop at nothing to deal with him!

“You can expose your whereabouts and let Yanxing know about it. That way, she will definitely not head to the True Dragon World and you won’t have to worry about her harming your family.” Xi suddenly said aloud. “But if you do that, Yanxing will target you instead, which is the same as inviting disaster upon yourself.”

Her suggestion took Lin Xun aback, but then his eyes gradually regained clarity.

Xi added, “I am confident of winning if it was just Yanxing, but if this new Nameless Esteemed Emperor also appears, it will be tricky. You also know that if the new Nameless Esteemed Emperor comes, he will go to all lengths to kill you.”

Lin Xun inhaled deeply and his eyes bore a look of determination. “Don’t worry, senior, let’s go with it!”

He already had a bold plan in mind.
