Chapter 328 - Calling some Bigwigs over (1/2)

The Heavenly Emperor's lips parted but just when he was but one step short of uttering the command, the infuriating voice of his so-called son-in-law sounded and interrupted him.

”Eh? Uncle-in-law, is that you?” Qiu Ling's tense mood finally lifted. ”How great! With all three of you there, we can definitely find someone fast!”

Bai Fen was too shaken to answer her son-in-law right now. The Heavenly Emperor Rong Su was secretly annoyed. This guy had managed to lose his son and now he still made a mess with his interruption!

The only one who actually paid attention to what exactly Qiu Ling had said was Qiang Yan. He knelt down beside his sister and shoved his face in the scope of the transmission stone. ”Longjun, what's your meaning, ah?” He hadn't said 'find Jing He' but instead talked about finding 'someone'. This had to have another meaning!

”Mn, uncle-in-law, those guards probably told you about the array already, didn't they?”

”Array?” Qiang Yan frowned and looked at the guard opposite him.

The man froze. He didn't know anything about an array!

Qiang Yan turned back to Qiu Ling's pale apparition and shook his head. ”No, I haven't been informed yet. I only know that Jing He vanished. What do you know about that?”

Qiu Ling frowned. ”A while back that bastard Jin Ling came over to the Hei Dian Sect where I was staying with Jing He. Luckily, he didn't see him but he must still have found out something. When we left the sect someone actually gave a Jade Gathering Beast to Jing He. Naturally, he didn't know what it was and didn't guard against it at all. I noticed in time but just when I tried to grab the thing and destroy it I was attacked by someone. The Jade Gathering Beast was still killed in the end but there was an explosion and after that Jing He and that guy were gone.”

Qiang Yan frowned. ”Jade Gathering Beast?” He felt a chill run down his back. That was … too vicious!

Never mind those mortals who had no idea that Jade Gathering Beasts would devour every kind of energy, a god in his trial period was the one who would suffer the most should he encounter one of them. Jade Gathering Beasts were, after all, attracted by energy and the stronger and purer the energy was the more they would want to devour it. In comparison to a mortal soul, an immortal one like Jing He's was a delicacy for such a creature.

Bai Fen's hands holding the transmission stone shook. ”Jade Gathering Beast? But it didn't …”

”No, don't worry, mother-in-law. I noticed in time. It didn't have an opportunity to do anything to Jing He. It's just …” Qiu Ling's expression grew solemn. ”All of that occurred at a place where a secret realm was supposed to open. Because of the explosion, it closed immediately but before that, it seems that that man dragged Jing He inside. So now, they're trapped in that secret realm together.”
