Chapter 500: Outbreak in Silence

Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Clan Ice Saint, Main Text Volume, Chapter 499: Outbreak in Silence. Time flies, and ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Tianlan Continent was successfully brought into the plane where Langya Heavenly Palace is located, and the fresh forces from the former greatly replenished the talent reserves of Langya Heavenly Palace.

Stepping into Langya City now, the scene one sees is no longer the desolation of having many houses but few people as it was in the past; years of management have allowed this city to radiate vibrant vitality, and even Huan Continent has gradually recovered under this influence.

In ten years of time, the Spirit Arrays and various derivative products of Langya Heavenly Palace have also entered the vision of the Great Thousand World following the promotion of its affiliated chambers of commerce.

The Spirit Array Disks of Langya Heavenly Palace are renowned across many continents for their convenience, speed, and excellent quality; apart from being a little expensive, they have no other shortcomings, and even many major forces purchase them in bulk for their own subordinate forces and cities.

Benefiting from industrial development, the growth of Langya Heavenly Palace has also advanced by leaps and bounds; in terms of financial resources alone, it is not even inferior to many long-established super forces.

As for strength, ever since the Great Assembly Battle ended, that Palace Master of Langya Heavenly Palace, Xiao Han, has had no record of publicly taking action, leaving others to guess endlessly without being able to reach an accurate answer.

Langya Heavenly Palace, a certain Cultivation Secret Realm.

Two streams of light, one red and one blue, clash in the space; every collision between the two shatters the space for thousands of miles around, and the next instant, the shattered space is pinched together by an invisible giant hand, recovering as it was.

"Alright, stop."

Finally, the blue figure stopped first, revealing a face; it was the Ice Emperor, and the red figure behind also stopped right in front.

Liu Qingyang panted and smiled:

"Supreme, has my strength caught your eye?"

Glancing at the water droplets seeping from the thin layer of ice covering his body, he nodded indifferently,

"Your improvement in strength is indeed terrifying; an average Great Perfection Earth Sovereign probably wouldn't be able to last five moves against you."

Over the ten years, Liu Qingyang first spent five years completing the conversion of Spirit Power and restoring his cultivation to Upper Earth Sovereign, and in the following three years, he successfully broke through to Great Perfection Earth Sovereign.

Two years after entering Great Perfection Earth Sovereign, he used various means to polish his realm until it approached perfection; for this, he even spent a huge price to invite the Ice Emperor, one of the only two Heavenly Sovereigns in Langya Heavenly Palace, to take action and provide guidance to hone himself.

Hard work pays off; now, in terms of strength alone, Liu Qingyang even faintly surpasses the four core Elders such as Yang Ling in Langya Heavenly Palace.

"I can only help you to this step now. As a Plane Master, the threshold of a Heavenly Sovereign cannot stop you; the road ahead must be walked by yourself."

"Many thanks for the guidance, Supreme."

Liu Qingyang also revealed a smile and said gratefully.

"You have already paid the reward; this is my duty."

The Ice Emperor's expression remained unchanged, and his tone was stiff.

Liu Qingyang did not mind this seemingly cold style of speaking; through multiple sessions of guidance, he had already figured out the former's temper, which was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

"If you are confident, break through as soon as possible."

Suddenly, the Ice Emperor said.

"Could it be that something major has happened?"

Liu Qingyang realized that the matter was not simple, his expression tightened slightly, and he asked.

"More or less."

The Ice Emperor did not deny it,

"You have been cultivating in the secret realm and perhaps are not very clear about the situation in the outside world."

"Do you remember the attack from ten years ago?"

"Naturally."

As Liu Qingyang nodded in affirmation, he also recalled the scene of his first arrival at Langya Heavenly Palace; at that time, Langya Heavenly Palace had just suffered an attack, and the entire sect was holding back a breath of anger. However, later, due to the need to help Tianlan Continent integrate into the sect, the Disciples and Elders temporarily put aside the hatred in their hearts.

But temporarily putting it aside does not mean forgetting it forever, and the Ice Emperor's words proved this point,

"We can't take revenge on the Blade Demon Clan for now, so we can only collect some interest from the Outer Realm Evil Clan first."

"It can only be considered bad luck for that group of Man Mo Clan."

……

One month later, inside the council hall of Langya Heavenly Palace.

Xiao Han leaned against the armrest of his seat, observing his subordinates calmly.

The influence of the integration of Tianlan Continent on Langya Heavenly Palace has gradually manifested; at the very least, among the Elders present, there are members from Tianlan Continent.

At the same time, the Elders below were also gazing at Xiao Han with anticipation; during this period, whether intentional or not, some "rumors" had spread within the sect.

According to the news, the Palace Master intends to assemble the elites of Langya Heavenly Palace to launch a surprise attack on a certain Outer Realm Evil Clan standing on the opposite side of Huan Continent.

To be able to serve as an Elder and be qualified to sit in the hall for discussions, Earth Sovereign and Spirit Array Grandmaster are the minimum cultivation standards; with such strength, they are quick-witted and can naturally guess the source of the "rumors."

The convening of this meeting is clearly a precursor to preparing for action!

The meeting began, and Xiao Han went straight to the point,

"I think everyone knows the purpose of this meeting."

"Everyone's time is precious, so I won't say much."

"This meeting is very simple!"

Xiao Han sat up straight, and infected by him, the expressions of the crowd could not help but turn solemn,

"Ten years ago, two Imperial Demon Emperors of the Outer Realm Evil Clan made my Langya Heavenly Palace suffer a bit."

"Now, I am prepared to collect some interest from them; those big fools of the Man Mo Clan bordering Huan Continent are the target."

"I am now seeking your opinions: when to fight? How to fight? Who will fight?"

"Speak your mind."

As his voice fell, the Elders looked at each other; they were not surprised by the start of a war, nor would they have any objections.

What caught them off guard was, shouldn't the battle plan be formulated by the Palace Master?

But since the Palace Master said so, they had no choice but to comply.

While the crowd here was pondering the battle plan, Xiao Han was not idle on the other side, introducing the strength comparison between the enemy and ourselves to everyone in the hall.

"Currently, Langya Heavenly Palace possesses about three hundred Earth Sovereigns and Spirit Array Grandmasters, and ten Great Perfection Earth Sovereigns and High-level Spirit Array Masters."

"Among them, two are about to break through."

"Hmm?!"

Xiao Han's words caused the people in the hall to freeze; who was about to break through?

The Elders looked toward the empty seat near Xiao Han; of the three core Elders, Tai Yun, You Ye, and Qian Sha, only one was missing...

Elder Yang Ling?

Before meeting Xiao Han, Yang Ling had already been immersed in the High-level Spirit Array Master realm for many years; later, having obtained Xiao Han's cultivation insights and through years of study and realization, she finally felt a stirring in her heart a few months ago and went into seclusion to cultivate.

According to Xiao Han's judgment, Yang Ling's seclusion was highly likely to add a new Spirit Array Grandmaster to the Langya Heavenly Palace.

Then what about the other one?

Liu Qingyang, who had kept a low profile since joining, had not left a deep impression on the people of the Langya Heavenly Palace, save for the dozens of Elders from the Tianlan Continent, such as Yan Lie and the others, who had their own guesses; while inwardly amazed, they could not help but feel envious, as for many years, they had known the status of a Heavenly Sovereign in the Great Thousand World, as well as the strength they represented and the difficulty of breaking through.

Xiao Han did not answer the crowd's surprise and confusion.

"The Heavenly Sovereign powerhouses are still me and the Supreme Elder."

"As for the Barbarian Demon clan..."

Thinking of the potential reactions of the crowd to follow, Xiao Han could not help but reveal a subtle smile as if watching a show.

"Two Mysterious Demon Emperors, five Ghost Demon Emperors, twenty Evil Clan Commanders at the Great Perfection Earth Sovereign level, and about five hundred Evil Clan powerhouses above the Earth Sovereign realm, with the rest not worth counting."

Watching the crowd, who had unknowingly fallen into a stupor, Xiao Han deliberately added one sentence.

"The above intelligence was all investigated by me personally, and it is absolutely reliable."

After a long while, the silent atmosphere erupted.
