743 Rebirth Plate, Opening the Fourth Dao! (1/2)
Would he really be crushed to death?
Right when Fang Zhengzhi was thinking about that, two figures appeared swiftly in front of him. Then, they lifted Yan Xiu and him up.
Coarsely but extremely quickly.
They were Yan Qing and Yan Qianli.
The moment the mountain came crashing down, Yan Qing, who carried Fang Zhengzhi, somersaulted in the air and left the area of the huge shadow. Then, Fang Zhengzhi's body touched the ground once more.
It was agonizing.
However, this was no time for such consideration because the huge mountain had already come crashing down. It hit the ground in a hugely-exaggerated fashion.
”Kaboom!” A huge sound rang out and dust and debris flew everywhere.
It was a wild scene. The moment the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples and the Shadow Sect disciples escaped from the landing site of the mountain, they turned to look at it.
The dust settled.
After the dust settled, the completely-black mountain slowly started to appear before the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples and the Shadow Sect disciples.
Underneath the huge mountain, the ground on which it had landed had been completely cracked open. When they looked at it, they noticed that it was almost 20 to 30 meters high. It was not too big and its bottom was made entirely from black rock. However, its top seemed slightly ridiculous.
This was because, on top of the mountain, there were four broken pillars. In the center of the pillars, there was a half-opened stone door. Images of beasts could be seen carved onto the door.
It exuded an ancient and timeless aura.
”What is this?!”
”It's not a mountain, but a palace?!”
”A ruined palace? How can a palace come crashing down? Furthermore, this is a palace made entirely from black rocks?!”
The Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples and the Shadow Sect disciples were totally shocked. After all, this was both peculiar and ridiculous.
This was ultimately the Heaven Dao Pavilion.
Even without the countless disciples who monitored the land from within the pavilion, there was no way this palace made out of black rock could have appeared on top of the Sword Peak. This was because the buildings of the Heaven Dao Pavilion were normally made from white jade. There was no building made from black rock.
However, if this ruined black palace did not come from the Sword Peak, where could it come from? It could not actually have fallen from the sky, right?
As they thought about this matter, they all felt that it was incredulous.
The Heaven Dao pavilion disciples did not understand what was going on. Sixth Elder was clueless too. If it were just an ordinary mountain, they could still comprehend. However, the presence of the black palace stumped them.
”This palace… is ancient. Where did it come from?” Yan Qianli frowned and asked. He carried Yan Xiu close to his chest.
”Palace? A ruined palace?” Fang Zhengzhi was stunned too because he had personally seen how did this ruined black rock palace come.
A ray of starlight which turned into a palace of black rock?
What the hell!
Fang Zhengzhi felt that he had been trying to absorb the knowledge of the world in this past one month. However, he still had no explanation for this.
However, the fact remained that this palace appeared out of thin air and then came crashing down onto them. It stood there mysteriously in front of them and was so real that no one disbelieved its existence.
As for Wu Yuer, who was across the lake, she opened her eyes wide in shock too. Her beautiful eyes revealed a look of surprise too.
To Wu Yuer, this battle was so inappropriate…
Hence, she had been standing opposite the lake without even approaching the battle. Not only did she not approach the battle, but she also did not even say anything.
”Old man Yan, stop caring this ruined old palace! Let's go!” The Heavenly Oasis Sage was finally able to extricate himself from his fight with Sixth Elder when the palace came crashing down. Naturally, he was the most anxious to leave.
”Heavenly Oasis, you hurt my disciples. Do you think you can just go like this?” At this moment, a sound came from the sky. It seemed to have come from afar but in fact, it was rapidly approaching.
When the Heavenly Oasis Saint heard this voice, his anxious face changed instantly. At the same time, he looked at the sky above his head.
He was not alone.
All of the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples lifted their heads. However, unlike the Heavenly Oasis Saint, a rare look of hope crossed their faces.
”Young friend, let's go!” When Yan Qianli heard this sound, he was even more determined to leave compared to the Heavenly Oasis Saint.
He did not even lift his head as he turned and prepared to leave.
”Prince Yan Qianli traveled thousands of miles to my Heaven Dao Pavilion as a guest. Are you going to leave without even saying 'hi'?” The voice rang out once more. At the same time, the ground started to crack open. A ray of pure white light shot out from the ground and blocked Yan Qianli.
When they saw this white light screen, Yan Qianli smiled bitterly. He naturally knew who was the speaker.
Since he knew who it was…
He knew that he had no chance of escape.
Even as the former lord of Western Liang, his position was naturally lower than Mu Qingfeng, the Pavilion Leader of the Heaven Dao Pavilion.
A white figure descended from the sky. Snow-white robes fluttered in the wind. However, this figure did not land on the ground directly.
Instead, the figure landed on top of one of the stone pillars of the black rock palace.
He landed very gently and soundlessly. Of course, behind him stood a ferocious beast. On the beast, there was a woman.
She wore a pink dress and was stunningly beautiful. Her eyes were like the stars in the night sky. She was regally elegant.
”Master!”
”Senior Chi Guyan!”
When the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples saw Mu Qingfeng and Chi Guyan, they were no longer as depressed as before. They instantly regained their confidence.
Fang Zhengzhi was strong!
However, was he stronger than Chi Guyan?
As for Yan Qianli and the Heavenly Oasis Saint, they were of even less concern. Ten Yan Qianlis and Heavenly Oasis Saint could not match Mu Qingfeng.
”What's going on?” Mu Qingfeng looked at scene beneath him and at the black rock palace he stepped on. Then, when he saw the corpses nearby, he could not help but frown.
Among the corpses, there was a familiar face: Shi Fan of the Yin Yang Hall. Furthermore, other than him, there were a few heads next to him too, some of which belonged to the three Sages of the Black Moon Island.
Who killed so many Sages right underneath the Heaven Dao Pavilion?
Could it be the Heaven Dao Pavilion?
Mu Qingfeng naturally did not think that it was possible. This was because even if there was a conflict between the Heaven Dao Pavilion and the Yin Yang Hall, they would not be so vicious.
If it was not the Heaven Dao Pavilion, could it be the Shadow Sect?
However, with just the Heavenly Oasis Saint and Yan Qianli, could they really kill so many Sages? Alright, if that was possible, what about Shi Fan?
With Shi Fan's power, how could Yan Qianli and the Heavenly Oasis Saint kill him?
More importantly, Fourth Elder lay unconscious on the ground and Second Elder's face was pale. He also had a huge bloody wound on his chest.
What happened to them?
Mu Qingfeng could not even begin to imagine because from the moment he left his closed-door cultivation to his arrival at the Heaven Academic Altar and to his descent from the pavilion, it only took a very short while.
Hence, he naturally did not know what had happened. However, this scene was bloodier than what he had expected.
Were they not pursuing Fang Zhengzhi?
Was this necessary?
Mu Qingfeng knew why Second Elder and Fourth Elder chased him. He destroyed the Divine Rain Pond. However, the scene right now did not seem to have been caused just by chasing Fang Zhengzhi.
