Chapter 533: The Shaken Great Thousand Palace

Great Thousand Palace.

Qian Sha was welcomed into a room by a deacon of the Great Thousand Palace; not long after, Tianmu Elder, leaning on a cane, walked in from outside.

"You have come at a very opportune time; we old fellows have just discussed some matters and need to inform you."

"Hm?"

Qian Sha was stunned, not understanding the situation.

"May I ask what matter, Senior?"

Tianmu Elder's tone carried regret; he had also received the news of Xiao Han's disappearance, and like others, he viewed disappearance as nearly synonymous with death. The fall of such a genius was a loss for the entire Great Thousand World.

Due to the many military merits the latter had established in dealing with the Evil Clan invasion, a group of high-level officials from the Great Thousand Palace made a decision: at the very least, they could not let Xiao Han's forces decline just like that. Tianmu Elder, a powerhouse well-acquainted with Langya Heavenly Palace, happened to become the representative of the Great Thousand Palace.

"I am just about to go to Langya Heavenly Palace to deliver some things, so we can travel together."

"Many thanks for your kindness, Senior, but this junior can..."

"As things stand, the most urgent priority is how to guard against that Evil Spirit Clan."

"At the same time, the existence of Tianmu Elder is also your only remaining channel."

Tianmu Elder silently summoned the top batch of powerhouses in the Great Thousand World, which was taking a huge risk.

Everyone exchanged opinions in a hubbub, but the vast majority were in favor of taking the initiative to attack the Domain-Outer Evil Clan to scout for information.

Once the defense line is lost, it would require a huge price to reclaim it.

"Sigh, that is easy to say."

"Oh, this is a letter that the Palace Mistress asked this junior to personally deliver to you, Senior."

"I would like to see what kind of trickery is in this letter."

"Tong Lan, was this news sent back by that young man Tianmu?"

"Yes."

"How did he end up in such a den of tigers and wolves?"

"Lao Bai, what is wrong?"

"It is inconvenient for me to say too much about the details; I can only tell you that he is currently trapped deep in the heartland of the Domain-Outer Evil Clan, having accidentally entered the territory of this Evil Spirit Clan."

There is already a huge gap in strength between the Great Thousand World and the Domain-Outer Evil Clan; the defense line is only barely stabilized because the Domain-Outer Evil Clan's strength is suppressed after traveling from afar. If one were to foolishly head to the Domain-Outer Evil Clan's territory to fight, would that not be playing right into the enemy's hands?

"But why have we not received news of this new race?"

"Do not forget, in a few hundred years it will be the final reinforcement of the seal, and the Domain-Outer Evil Clan will certainly not let go of this final opportunity."

The Great Thousand World and the Domain-Outer Evil Clan have never been on friendly terms; a large number of powerhouses are hoarded at the border of the two races, especially top-tier powerhouses at the Saint Grade level, who cannot leave for even a moment, otherwise there would be a risk of the home being stolen.

"Everyone, share your thoughts."

"..."

"His strength is not inferior to some old monsters; dual-cultivating in arrays and martial arts, a Saint in the ice—his reputation was carved out step by step by stepping on the blood of the Domain-Outer Evil Clan."

Facing the accusations and lack of understanding from the crowd, Tianmu Elder was not annoyed; he simply handed the letter sent by Qian Sha to the others to pass around.

"Go, go, go! Who has had their brain frozen stupid? If I don't believe it, I'll beat your head until it's stupid!"

"That is still much better than doing nothing at all!"

"The Daqian Defense Line that I guard cannot be left without someone for long."

Tianmu Elder shook his head and smiled helplessly.

Having given the other high-level officials enough time to react, Tianmu Elder finally spoke.

"..."

Seeing the atmosphere in the room heading in a strange direction, Tianmu Elder spoke up.

"Junior?"

A certain Elder who hated evil with a passion slammed a fist onto the table, his tone filled with lingering fear; he dared not imagine what kind of catastrophe would befall the Great Thousand World if the Domain-Outer Evil Clan really managed to exploit a loophole.

Since Tianmu appeared in the Great Thousand World, not to mention recovering lost territory in major battles and turning the tide, the Spirit Arrays he subsequently provided to the Great Thousand Palace allowed the Great Thousand World to eradicate a large batch of running dogs and tumors of the Domain-Outer Evil Clan; in terms of merit alone, he had already surpassed many large sects and factions with long histories.

"It is indeed a bit too little."

Tianmu Elder nodded.

Just like Qian Sha, the moment Tianmu Elder saw the letter, he realized the importance of its contents. After reading it, his eyes, which had been piercing, turned gloomy; the aura that had been as pleasant as a spring breeze instantly turned into the bitter cold of midwinter.

Qian Sha noticed the change in Tianmu Elder and vaguely guessed it had to do with the letter he had delivered, so he tactfully said.

"I wonder what business Elder Qian has on this trip?"

Even if he were to sit on his laurels, no one would dare to say anything; there was absolutely no need to fabricate facts.

"Then what do you intend to do? You wouldn't want to take the initiative to attack, would you? Are you tired of living?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the gazes of the entire room, as if looking at a fool, instantly converged on the speaker.

While everyone was arguing incessantly, someone seemed to have discovered a blind spot and asked.

"Thump! Thump!"

Others nodded in affirmation; Saint Grade powerhouses mostly serve as deterrents, and major wars are not easily started. Therefore, Langya Heavenly Palace is one of the more active forces on the Great Thousand border. The intensity of the war between the emerging Langya Heavenly Palace and the Domain-Outer Evil Clan is by no means lower than that of the heavily fortified passes. As big shots who constantly monitor the situation, they naturally pay close attention to it.

Many echoing voices rang out in the room.

"Is sending that a bit too stingy? Should we add more?"

Lao Bai did not say much, simply handing the letter to the next person. The latter's reaction after reading it was exactly the same. Very soon, the not-so-long letter had been read by everyone.

"Not bad."

"What? The heartland of the Evil Clan?"

One of the senile figures said quite impatiently, the aura he emitted being on the same level as Tianmu Elder.

In the end, not only would they suffer heavy losses, but they might also startle the enemy, making the Domain-Outer Evil Clan realize that the existence of the Evil Spirit Clan had been exposed.

"Tianmu, if you have something to say, say it quickly."

Everyone nodded in tacit understanding; because of guarding the front lines, we had little contact with the seal, yet we knew the operating principle of the Great Thousand Demon Array, as this great power that annihilates all Evil Qi is the foundation for the Great Thousand World's ten thousand years of peace.

Qian Sha did not say much more and explained the content of his mission.

To return to the main topic.

"What has not yet happened cannot be changed; all we can do is pray that Tianmu can turn danger into safety."

"Senior, please proceed."

The atmosphere at the scene gradually fell into a hubbub; Elder Xiao Han tapped the table to make everyone quiet down, his tone serious.

"But since this Evil Spirit Clan has been hidden so deeply, how could we easily discover any clues?"

The heavy treasure was merely a consolation prize, but since the person was still alive and well, and still risking their life for the survival of the Great Thousand World, the seemingly decent heavy treasure did not look like enough.

Qian Sha was dazed and prepared to say he would do it on their behalf, but Tianmu Elder interrupted him as if nothing had happened.

"Lao Hu, you haven't stayed in that freezing cold place for so long that your brain has frozen stupid, have you?"

"Tong Lan is not someone who chases shadows or alarmist talk; the achievements of Langya Heavenly Palace are already glorious enough."

Someone asked unwillingly.

"Indeed, Xiao Han, you were too impulsive this time."

One of them opened the letter first, and the others watched the former's expression go from casual to slightly attentive, then to grave, before falling into deep thought.

Delivering something?

"You have all received news of the great battle that broke out between Langya Heavenly Palace and the Domain-Outer Evil Clan not long ago, haven't you?"

"Elder Qian, please rest at the Great Thousand Palace for a few days; this old man has some matters that need to be handled."

"Alright, everyone should know what this Evil Spirit Clan is used for by now, right?"

What Elder Xiao Han did, Qian Sha did not know; the latter only knew that in less than a day, nearly ten figures with imposing auras arrived at the Great Thousand Palace headquarters one after another, and then rushed out aggressively.

"Never thought that this group of Domain-Outer Evil Clan would quietly create such a scourge!"

Until today, they had always thought so.

The others did not care about that heavy treasure; after all, it was a settled matter, and what they cared about most was...

They had thought Tianmu had unfortunately fallen in that great battle, never expecting that a turning point would appear.

"I will personally make a trip to Langya Heavenly Palace; the item has yet to be delivered."

"Extremely so, extremely so!"

"Old man Xiao Han, why did you call us over in such a rush?"

"..."

The Great Thousand Palace could have such rallying power not just because of righteousness, but because of clear rewards and punishments.

"Is the content written here true?"

"Is it appropriate to pin all our hopes on a junior?"
