Chapter 994 - Chapter 994 Chapter 625 I Know Where It Is

Chapter 994: Chapter 625: I Know Where It Is Chapter 994: Chapter 625: I Know Where It Is “Dang…”

“Dang…”

“Dang…”

In a verdant stretch of the western hills shrouded in cloud and mist, where mountains continued unbroken,

the muted peal of a bell followed one after another, louder with each tolling, sounding seven times in total before it ceased.

In an instant,

it was as though colossal waves surged upon a lake surface or as hot oil furiously bubbled and seethed in an iron cauldron, its momentum thunderous.

It only took a moment.

The entire expanse of the unending western hills was soon enveloped in the sonorous echo of the bell.

With each peal of the bell, heaven and earth grew solemn, quelling any clamor within tens of thousands of miles.

For a time, between heaven and earth,

aside from the ceaseless tolling of the bell, no other sound could be heard.

In the mountain woods, inhabited by myriad birds and beasts, many with awakened intelligence, all lay quietly in their nests at this moment, daring not to move an inch, only perking their ears to the sounds outside,

while to those outside, the sound was cacophonous.

Inside, however, there was no such noise, but it was all the more austere.

“What’s going on, who’s ringing that bell?”

“The northern city’s monk temple hasn’t even opened, right? Besides, there are no monks there anymore, right?”

Some sects located close to the Heavenly Court perceived the anomaly the moment it happened, stunned for quite some time before they belatedly realized there was a disturbance at the Heavenly Court.

All were immediately filled with surprise.

Though the Heavenly Court did not ostentatiously display its power these days, everyone knew in their hearts that the Court was somehow connected to the only Holy Land within the Immortal Domain — Willow Sacred Land.

Who would dare to oppose that place?

Even the lofty Pan King within Pan King City kept friendly terms with the Heavenly Court in secret.

…

…

“That brat, I don’t know where he found that Mountain Protection Array, but I must admit, it’s quite exquisite.

We, two old brothers, had already concealed ourselves, hiding all traces of our presence, yet we were still detected.

Moreover, had it not been for the tolling of the bell, I might have remained unaware till now!”

As the desolate sound of the bell chimes enveloped him, Bird Grandpa felt surprised and couldn’t help but click his tongue in appreciation.

He, a King’s Domain holder, might not specialize in formations, but with his strength and realm, ordinary formations were nothing to him, able to be paralyzed with a single glance.

“The formation might be exquisite indeed, but if I’m not mistaken, it seems they have mistaken us for enemies!”

Grandpa Jing Bi stroked his beard and narrowed his eyes, looking toward the Void God Realm below, his mouth twitching involuntarily.

Following Grandpa Jing Bi’s gaze toward the interiors of the Heavenly Court,

from the moment the bell tolled,

from top to bottom,

one could see clearly.

Figures were bustling, and there was an uproar of voices.

“Quick, quick, quick…”

“Grab your weapons.”

“We’re under attack, we’re under attack!”

“Who is it, such audacity to strike at our Heavenly Court, unaware of our Sovereign’s close ties with Willow Sacred Land?”

From the palace nestled amongst the mountains, figures wielding blades rushed forth,

sharpening their weapons, each with a grave look, heading towards the central square.

In the blink of an eye, the vast square was crowded with dense masses of people.

Even the air carried a stifling aura of deadly seriousness.

“Honestly, I’d like to see what that rascal’s newly established force has achieved, and wouldn’t mind giving a few pointers if it’s not up to par.

The karma of the Heavenly Court is heavy, and without substantial capability, it’s hard to sustain; since that lad has such ambition, we as his seniors ought to lend him a hand.”

Bird Grandpa obviously saw it too, but didn’t take it seriously, half-jokingly speaking while considering Shi Hao’s situation.

The path ahead was shrouded in black fog, long since obscuring any direction.

For now, they would take things one step at a time.

…

In the rear palace of the Heavenly Court,

atop Green Mountain,

the Lord of the Forbidden Area, clad in a black robe with hands behind his back, simply stood with eyes of sparkling color twinkling coldly as he watched Bird Grandpa and Grandpa Jing Bi approaching.

Though expressionless, there was a trace of solemnity between his brows.

The sudden appearance of two mysterious King’s Domain creatures likely spelled ill intent.

He was now but a mere wisp of a soul, lacking even a complete Primordial Spirit, capable of handling one with some assurance.

But with two, unforeseen complications might arise.

However…

This was the Heavenly Court.

Apart from the people of Liu Village who could come and go freely, who else could?

He, the Lord of the Forbidden Area, stood firm in his resolve!!!

The next moment,

the Lord of the Forbidden Area mustered his full strength and spoke out boldly,

surging with the formidable power of the King’s Domain.

Like a tiger roaring in the woods, a dragon’s chant echoing through the valleys, stirring heaven and earth.

“Halt, visitors, this is the bastion of the Heavenly Court; without its permission, take one step further, and you stand against the Heavenly Court!”

His voice thundered like the tide, momentarily overwhelming even the bell chimes.

And standing behind the Lord of the Forbidden Area,

were hundreds of soldiers in shining silver Armor, each brandishing a spear, their presence impressive.

These disciples gathered by Shi Hao before his journey to the Burial Earth were known as the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.

Their practice was not of the Law of Life, nor of the Immortal Ancient Method, but the Human body Secret Realm System created by Shi Hao himself.

Therefore, like Mu Qing, Huang Butterfly, and Hit the God Stone, they were considered the first real disciples of Huang in the truest sense.

If seen singly in the Immortal Domain they might not count for much, but together, the surging momentum they exuded was enough to change the complexion of the heavens and the earth.

It was an exaggeration, truly, to feel the air around them become constrained, with a sense of impending atmospheric upheaval.

Bird Grandpa and Grandpa Jing Bi’s pupils contracted slightly as they exchanged glances.

After a moment, Grandpa Jing Bi stopped the eager Bird Grandpa and saluted the Lord of the Forbidden Area on Green Mountain with a cupped-fist greeting:
