Chapter 805: Princess of the Divine Dynasty, Voluntarily Submits

Inside the deliberation hall of Taixuan Mountain, the remaining eight Elders gathered together.

The Fifth Elder, Venerable Qilin, frowned and said, "Great Elder Xuanwu has been missing for half a month, his life or death unknown."

The Sixth Elder, Venerable Phoenix, was filled with worry: "The three Elders he took with him—Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Vermillion Bird—have also vanished without a trace."

The Seventh Elder, Venerable Black Tortoise, said in a deep voice, "There must be something suspicious about this; we must report it to the Main God immediately."

"The Main God is currently in seclusion, attempting to break through to the late stage of Sovereign; how can we disturb him at will?"

The Eighth Elder, Venerable Taotie, retorted.

"If the Main God's breakthrough is affected because of this, who can take responsibility?"

The Elders argued endlessly, and no one could come up with a solution.

Just at this moment, a cold, clear female voice came from outside the hall.

"You Elders need not argue; this matter will be handled by this Princess."

The doors of the great hall slowly opened.

A stunningly beautiful woman wearing a long white dress walked in gracefully.

Her appearance was peerless, and her temperament was refined and otherworldly.

Her entire body radiated dense ripples of laws; she was clearly at the mid-stage of the Supreme realm.

This person was none other than the eldest daughter of the Taixuan Heavenly Sovereign, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady.

The eight Elders hurriedly stood up to pay their respects.

"Greetings, Your Highness the Princess."

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady waved her hand, signaling for everyone to forgo the formalities.

She walked to the main seat and sat down, her gaze sweeping over everyone present.

"Before Elder Xuanwu went missing, were there any unusual actions?"

Venerable Qilin thought for a moment: "I heard he took people to explore some secret realm."

"A secret realm?"

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady's eyes narrowed.

"Is the specific location known?"

"This..."

The Elders looked at each other, all shaking their heads to indicate they did not know.

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady was silent for a moment, then stood up and said, "This Princess will personally investigate this matter."

"You all continue to handle the affairs of the Divine Dynasty; there is no need to worry."

After speaking, she turned and left the great hall.

After returning to her own palace, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady immediately cast a Secret Technique.

She took out a bronze mirror and injected her divine sense into it.

This was a supreme treasure of the Taixuan Divine Dynasty—the Tracking Heaven Mirror, which could trace the last location where anyone appeared.

The bronze mirror rippled, and images gradually emerged.

It was the scene of Venerable Xuanwu and his party of four driving a divine ship as they left the Divine Dynasty.

The image continued to track, showing them traversing layers of the Void.

It finally stopped at an unremarkable entrance to a middle-tier plane.

"A middle-tier plane?"

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady's delicate brows furrowed slightly.

In such a place where Spirit Qi was thin, what could be worth Elder Xuanwu exploring personally?

Moreover, bringing three Supreme powerhouses along showed he attached great importance to it.

Just at this moment, the bronze mirror suddenly transmitted a message.

This was a mark left by Venerable Xuanwu before he went missing.

"Currently exploring an ancient secret realm, need to be in seclusion for several years, do not worry."

A short sentence, seemingly normal, but in reality, it was strange in every way.

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady was brilliant and immediately sensed the anomaly.

Elder Xuanwu acted with caution; if he truly intended to go into seclusion, he would definitely have reported it in advance.

How could he suddenly send back a message only after being missing for half a month?

And the wording of this message was stiff, not at all like Elder Xuanwu's style.

"There is a problem."

She decisively made a decision.

"This Princess will personally go to that middle-tier plane to take a look."

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady did not alert anyone and left the Divine Dynasty alone.

She cast a Secret Technique to conceal her aura, transforming into an ordinary Supreme.

After traversing layers of the Void, she arrived at the entrance to that middle-tier plane.

The moment she stepped into the middle-tier plane, she felt an unusual aura.

Although the Spirit Qi here was thinner than in the upper-tier plane, it was extremely pure.

Moreover, there was a faint, special ripple of laws that made her feel alarmed.

"Strange, how can a middle-tier plane have such a phenomenon?"

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady cautiously probed her surroundings.

Soon, she discovered a force known as the Lun Hui Empire.

This empire rules over the entire middle plane, and its strength is terrifyingly immense.

What shocked her even more was that there were actually nine Supreme experts within the empire.

Nine Supremes!

This would count as a top-tier power even in the upper planes.

When could the middle plane have given birth to so many Supremes?

Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden felt more and more that this place was not simple.

She employed her most brilliant concealment Secret Technique to sneak into the Core area of the Lun Hui Empire.

Lun Hui Star Domain, Lingxiao Hall.

This magnificent palace stood in the Void, radiating an aura of majesty.

Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden approached cautiously, wanting to investigate the truth.

Just as she was ten thousand miles away from Lingxiao Hall, a sudden change occurred.

An aura as vast as the sea surged from the great hall.

This aura was unfathomable, as if it contained the origin of heaven and earth.

Merely a wisp of the leaking fluctuation made Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden feel suffocated.

Her expression changed drastically, and she wanted to flee immediately.

But the next moment, she discovered that she could no longer move.

Space was completely locked, and any struggle was futile.

A deep fear welled up in the heart of Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden.

To be able to lock her, a mid-stage Supreme, without a sound—how strong must the other party be?

The scenery before her eyes suddenly shifted.

By the time she regained her senses, she had already appeared inside Lingxiao Hall.

The great hall was extremely magnificent, filled with a majestic and solemn atmosphere.

Right in the center was a high platform, upon which a throne was placed.

The throne was entirely condensed from the laws of Lun Hui, radiating a six-colored light.

A young man leaned lazily against the throne.

He was toying with a jade bead in his hand, looking at her with a playful gaze.

This man's appearance was extremely handsome, and his temperament was extraordinary and refined.

The aura radiating from his body made the heart of Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden race; she could not summon the slightest thought of resistance.

"Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden, the eldest daughter of Taixuan Heavenly Venerate."

Lin Xuan's voice carried a smile as he spoke slowly.

"Mid-stage Supreme cultivation, hailed as the number one beauty of the upper planes."

"Coming all this way to My territory, are you here to throw your life away, or to offer yourself?"

Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden suppressed the fear in her heart and said coldly, "You are the Lun Hui Great Emperor?"

"Where is Venerable Xuanwu?"

Lin Xuan did not answer, but simply snapped his fingers.

The Void fluctuated, and the figure of Venerable Xuanwu appeared.

He knelt respectfully to one side of the great hall, not daring to even raise his head.

"Subordinate Xuanwu, pays respects to Master."

Venerable Xuanwu's voice was filled with reverence.

Seeing this scene, Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden was completely shocked.

The dignified Great Elder of the Taixuan Divine Dynasty, a peak Supreme expert.

To actually be so servile to a master of the middle plane?

"Elder Xuanwu, you are..."

She asked in disbelief.

Venerable Xuanwu gave a bitter smile: "Princess, this subordinate has already sworn a soul oath."

"From now on, I pledge loyalty to Master, and have no other choice."

Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden's face turned pale.

Once a soul oath is sworn, it can never be undone for eternity.

This meant that the Taixuan Divine Dynasty had lost a peak Supreme combat force.

She looked at Lin Xuan, a complex expression flashing in her eyes.

"Who exactly are you?"

"To be able to make Elder Xuanwu willingly submit?"

Only then did Lin Xuan stand up and walk slowly down from the high platform.

Every step he took seemed to tread upon the laws of heaven and earth, causing space to resonate.

Walking before Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden, Lin Xuan reached out and lifted her chin.

"I am who I am, the Lun Hui Great Emperor, Lin Xuan."

His gaze was as deep as the starry sky, as if it could see through the human heart.

"As for the question you asked, you will naturally understand after you submit."

Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden wanted to refuse, but found that she could not speak at all.

Lin Xuan's temperament was far too unique.

That air of being detached from worldly affairs, that composure of having everything under control.

Made even her, a proud princess of the Divine Dynasty, feel an urge to submit.
