Chapter 1296 The Statue Shattered
Whoosh!
Su Yun's body rushed into the sword sheath.
"Qing Yu, where are you? I've already instructed Wei Ming and the others to arrange everything within an incense stick of time. We'll first restrain Empyreans. Once they're ready, we'll let Empyreans go and seize this opportunity to hang them."
Su Yun entered the sword sheath and looked left and right, muttering to himself.
However, he looked around and didn't see any trace of Ling Qing Yu. Not only that, he couldn't even find any trace of Empyrean Immortal Court. On the other hand, he could smell a little spatial fluctuation from a very far place.
"Qing Yu?"
Su Yun called out again, but there was still no reply.
He frowned and flew towards the spatial ripple. However, just as he approached, the scene in front of him instantly shocked him.
A large number of cracks appeared in the spatial ripples. The void had already been torn apart, and there were all sorts of messy Qi intents floating beside it.
He sized up the surroundings and looked at the broken place, his brows furrowed tightly. The shattered void would slowly recover over time. However, judging from the tearing marks, it seemed to be caused by an extremely terrifying surge of power.
"Empyrean Immortal Court has escaped."
Suddenly, a sweet voice came from the side.
Su Yun turned his head to look, only to see Ling Qing Yu standing not far behind him at an unknown time.
"Qing Yu, where have you been?" Su Yun asked.
A trace of guilt appeared on her face as she bit her pink lips, "I was forced back by Empyrean Immortal Court. His strength is indeed extraordinary. It's not easy to keep him. I… I still can't do it."
"Run away?" Su Yun's face was filled with surprise, "But why … I didn't see him coming out of the sword sheath just now?"
"He didn't know what spell he used, but he suddenly escaped. He couldn't stop him even if he wanted to. You didn't notice him leaving. He must have been afraid that you would set a trap outside and deliberately used some kind of spell to conceal the truth." Ling Qing Yu said.
"That would be terrible." Su Yun frowned, his expression gloomy: "It's so early, the soul on the battlefield hasn't completely dissipated. If he escapes, he will still have a chance to resurrect it. When the time comes, he will bring the resurrected person to the Immortal Court to use Mind Reading … In this way, our efforts will be in vain."
"Using this heaven-defying and destiny-changing divine ability requires strength, "That Empyrean Immortal Court was able to suddenly tear open the void and escape from the sword sheath without me being able to guard against it. He must have used some incredible magic technique or treasure. Such a method must have consumed a huge amount of energy. Even if he escaped back, he would never be able to use the resurrection technique again. Su Yun, you don't need to worry about anything."
"Are you sure he consumed a lot of energy?"
"I don't know how he ran, but when the void was sliced open, I noticed that his aura was much weaker in an instant. Therefore, I can guarantee that he won't be able to use that kind of method again." Ling Qing Yu said slowly.
Hearing that, Su Yun thought for a moment and sighed, "Forget it, things have already reached this point. We can only take a step forward. Since he has escaped, then let's take a long view. I will arrange some people to inquire about the situation in the Immortal Court. I hope that as you said, the Empyrean is already weak, so that these forces in my hands will not be exposed."
"Then what do you plan to do now?"
"Right now? Let's move to Qianlong Hall first. The rest of the forces are ready to withdraw. I don't know how well the Immortal Court understands me. I don't dare to act casually. I'm not willing to give up everything on the Immortal Court. However, if the Immortal Court still doesn't know my identity and I act without permission, I won't confess."
"You can handle it yourself. There's not much I can do to help you with the matters of the Immortal Court."
Ling Qing Yu took a deep breath and swept his gaze around. "Hurry up and take care of your affairs. I'm going to rest."
The exhaustion on her face was evident.
"Well, it's been hard, Qing Yu."
Su Yun nodded and comforted, then turned around and left the sword sheath.
Regarding the matter of Empyrean Immortal Court escaping, Su Yun was actually somewhat puzzled. However, the void inside the sword sheath was indeed broken. It was not false, but the Empyrean left. Why didn't he notice it?
After leaving the sword sheath, Wei Ming was already approaching Immortal Sect with the sword sheath in his hand. Along the way, he contacted Cai Tian, Xing Bai, and the others. When they learned of Su Yun's actions, they decided to rush to Immortal Sect to set up the formation. They trapped Empyrean Immortal Court first, and then waited for the opportunity to erase it. Even if they could not kill him, if they could cripple part of his cultivation, it would reduce the threat to everyone from the Immortal Court.
The three heroes of the Immortal Court were no small matter. If they fought head-on, none of the people on Su Yun's side could be their opponents. Unless they invited Yuming Sword and Flame Saint Devil over, they might even be able to contend against them.
"My lord, how is it?" Seeing that Su Yun came out of the sword sheath not long after entering, Wei Ming was stunned for a moment and hurriedly asked, "Do you want to start now? Immortal Sect hasn't finished setting up the sword sheath yet."
"No, the plan is cancelled. Empyrean has escaped." Su Yun said absent-mindedly.
"What? Run away?" Wei Ming found it hard to believe. He swept his eyes over the sword sheath and looked around. "Impossible, my lord. I haven't seen Empyreans leave from this treasure!" He said hurriedly.
"Empyrean Dao Arts are boundless. If he wants to run, you won't be able to detect him." Su Yun shook his head and said, "Don't doubt it now. Send more people to keep an eye on the movements of the Immortal Court. Although the Empyrean has run away, most of his stamina is unable to keep up with it. He is unable to use the resurrection technique. Those disciples who died on the battlefield are helpless, so we don't need to worry."
"How about this … This subordinate understands. This subordinate will immediately send someone to the Immortal Court to keep an eye on him."
"Yes, if anything happens, report it to me in time. However, you guys need to be more careful. The current Immortal Court is very sensitive."
"Yes …"
…
…
On a gorgeous cloud platform stood three enormous statues. These three statues were not human statues, but statues of three magical artifacts.
One statue was a whisk, one statue was a staff, and the last statue was a staff. Three statues of magical artifacts appeared in a triangle and stood on the platform. As the platform floated gently, they revolved around the gigantic immortal court.
Among the three statues on the cloud platform, apart from the whisk dust statue, the other two statues sat down cross-legged. They were Sheng Zhan and Dharma God.
Dharma God clasped his fingers together and placed them in front of his knees. The staff floated in front of him, emitting a faint rainbow-colored light. It was especially miraculous. Sheng Zhan's hands formed fists and pressed down on the ground. His eyes were tightly closed, and his entire body emitted an aura that was like the color of molten iron.
The three enormous statues were connected by colorful beams of light, forming a triangle. There was a surging and magical power between the beams of light. This power was neither immortal energy nor divine power, but rather a special power that lingered between the two powers.
"Huh???"
Suddenly, Sheng Zhan opened his eyes wide and panted.
The Dharma God sensed something strange and hurriedly stood up.
"Big brother, what's wrong?"
However, Sheng Zhan did not speak. Instead, he seemed to be thinking back to something. He murmured in his mouth, making a sound that even Dharma God could not hear.
Kacha… Crash…
Just as the Dharma God felt inexplicable, a strange sound suddenly came from the cloud platform.
Sheng Zhan and Dharma God looked towards the place where the voice came from, only to see that the voice came from the Empyrean's statue of the whisk.
At this moment, the statue was covered in cracks. The cracks grew larger and denser as the rubble peeled off from the statue. Finally, the entire crack dismembered the statue. The statue instantly collapsed, and the rubble fell to the ground. Dust flew everywhere. It was a mess.
"This …"
Dharma God's expression changed. He was extremely pale, and his lips were trembling. Finally, he sat upright on the ground, his hands supporting the ground. He actually began to cry.
"Third Brother… Third Brother…"
"The statue is connected to his life. If his life is shattered, the statue will collapse. Is Third Brother really dead?"
Sheng Zhan gritted his teeth and a bone-chilling killing intent spilled out of his body.
At this moment, Dharma God seemed to have thought of something and staggered towards the pile of rubble. He lay on the pile of rubble and kept digging for something. Very quickly, a colorful fist-sized stone was squeezed out by him.
"Origin Stone?" Sheng Zhan frowned and suppressed his anger and sorrow. "Does the Origin Stone show where Third Brother died?" He said.
The Dharma God looked at the stone carefully. After a moment, he spread out his hands weakly and said painfully, "The Origin Stone did not respond. It did not seem to have locked onto where Third Brother died."
'"Origin Stones are linked to one's own life. If one is unable to lock onto a location, there is only one possibility. The other party discovered the link in advance and strangled it. As for those who can see through Third Brother's life force, they must be several times stronger than Third Brother. How many such existences can there be in the entire Immortal Dimension? How many can they count on their fingers?"
"Big brother, do you still need to think about it? It must have been those people who sneak attacked the Immortal Court and challenged the dignity of our Immortal Court!" '"These people have repeatedly desecrated our Immortal Court, and this time they have even caused the death of my third brother. I'm going to tear these people into pieces and throw their souls into the Nine Deaths Purgatory, so that they will forever suffer torture and pain!" Fa Shen's entire body trembled.
"This vengeance must be avenged, but now, we must confirm the identities of those people." Sheng Zhan snorted coldly, "Let's go back to the Immortal Court first and see how the people from the Line Group are doing. Other people have already invaded this place. I don't believe that the people from the Line Group have any clues!"
"Big brother, as far as I know, there is an immortal sect that participated in the invasion of the Immortal Court this time. It seems to be called Qianlong Hall, but we don't know the rest. Let's go back to the Immortal Court first. If there is no news from the Immortal Court, we will go to Qianlong Hall and settle the score with them!"
"Alright!"
Sheng Zhan nodded and leapt into the air. His body transformed into lightning and slashed into the Immortal Court, followed by Dharma God.
