Chapter 399: Chapter 247 The Fall of the Netherworld Palace

The Netherworld Hall Master immediately arrived at the hall where the Elder Life Tokens were stored.

He looked at the two shattered Elder Life Tokens, and his heart couldn’t help but sink suddenly.

"What about the other Life Tokens?"

He asked the protector specifically guarding the Life Plate Hall.

"All completely intact..."

The protector quickly replied.

"That’s strange then....."

The Netherworld Hall Master frowned.

Those two elders of the Longevity Realm were stationed at Heavenly Sword Manor. Since the elders have fallen, why haven’t the other Life Tokens been affected?

However, at that moment, the protector’s face suddenly changed dramatically, "Hall Master, look..."

He pointed to the many Life Tokens placed on the other side.

At this moment, Life Tokens had started to shatter one after another.

The face of the Netherworld Hall Master deepened as he took a breath.

This scene signified that Heavenly Sword Manor had been breached.

The disciples and followers of the Netherworld Palace were being slaughtered by the enemy....

Both guardian elders have perished. There’s no need to mention the fate of the other disciples and followers.

"Hall Master, Elder Nan’s Life Token is still intact."

The protector said.

"Elder Nan should be in the Return to Void state."

The Netherworld Hall Master shook his head.

But even Elder Nan is only temporarily safe.

Once he exits the Return to Void state, the outcome is obvious.

Must send reinforcement quickly... But with two Longevity Secret Realm powerhouses falling almost simultaneously, without even having time to send a distress signal, it’s conceivable the enemy is extraordinary.

Without understanding the enemy’s situation, rushing to rescue blindly is also very risky.

Thinking of this, the Netherworld Hall Master hurriedly gathered several Longevity Realm elders, as for those not here, they were basically in the Return to Void state.

After making arrangements at the first opportunity, he then went to see Moon Clan Envoy Di Tu and briefly explained the situation the Netherworld Palace was facing.

He did not believe that the assault on Heavenly Sword Manor was related to its remnant forces.

After all, the two living Longevity Secret Realm powerhouses of Heavenly Sword Manor didn’t have the strength to breach Heavenly Sword Manor.

Because Lin Qingping’s activities were very secretive, the Netherworld Palace temporarily did not know that the Young Master of Heavenly Sword Manor was still alive.

After all, the Spiritual King Mansion immediately sealed off the news of Spirit King Wen Qing’s fall and never contacted the Netherworld Palace again.

"Could other forces have acted?"

Moon Clan member Di Tu was astonished.

Due to some reasons unknown to outsiders, now, there was an undercurrent between the three forces, and Tianquan Gobi, as the convergence point of the three great forces, certainly wouldn’t be calm.

But it should definitely not act so quickly?

After all, that major affair had only just shown a little sign.

All sides were still plotting in secret; it was impossible to go to open conflict so soon.

"Don’t worry, I will stay at Tianquan Gobi for now. If your Netherworld Palace can’t handle it, I will take action."

Moon Clan member Di Tu said in a deep voice.

The Netherworld Palace, as an important piece for the Great Moon Empire in Tianquan Gobi, had significant weight and certainly couldn’t come to harm.

"Thank you, Master Di Tu."

The Netherworld Hall Master heard this and immediately felt relieved.

This Master Di Tu reportedly had reached over forty steps in the Return to Void state.

Such an existence in Tianquan Gobi was almost invincible.

However, due to the balance of the three great forces, beings of this level rarely got involved in the conflicts of Tianquan Gobi.

Now that Di Tu had said this, it was significant, perhaps indicating that the three great forces were indeed having a major confrontation over Tianquan Gobi.

Half a day later.

The Netherworld Hall Master was waiting with several elders for news to arrive.

In the Life Plate Hall, a large number of Life Tokens had been shattered.

After tallying, it was found that over eighty percent of the disciples and followers stationed at Heavenly Sword Manor had fallen.

Those still alive... were either stationed in other areas of Heavenly Sword Manor’s territory or were in the Supreme Saint Level Return to Void state.

Due to the importance of Heavenly Sword Manor, the Netherworld Palace had stationed nearly a third of its strength in Heavenly Sword Manor’s territory.

Now such a strong force was almost completely wiped out.

Such a huge loss made the Netherworld Hall Master feel a sharp pain.

Suddenly, the Netherworld Hall Master and the Longevity Realm powerhouses sensed the Mountain Protection Array of the Netherworld Palace shaking violently.

Instantly, they released their Spiritual Sense and discovered that the scenery above the sky had suddenly changed, countless clouds rotating to form a massive whirlpool of cloud energy, followed by a terrifying Sword Qi slowly descending from the swirling clouds.

"This is bad; an enemy attack."

The face of the Netherworld Hall Master changed dramatically.

Half a day ago, Heavenly Sword Manor was attacked, and the stationed forces of the Netherworld Palace were almost wiped out.

Now the mountainside gate of the Netherworld Palace itself was under attack.

In the sky, Li Qian looked at the mountainside gate of the Netherworld Palace.

In terms of size, it was more than a match for Heavenly Sword Manor.

Moreover... the Mountain Protection Array of the Netherworld Palace was even more formidable, almost considered as one of the Twelve Major Arrays.

However, the Mountain Protection Array of Heavenly Sword Manor was more inclined towards offense, while the array of the Netherworld Palace leaned towards defense.

Under his control, the powerful Breaking Array Sword descended from the sky, striking fiercely upon the defensive shield of the Netherworld Palace’s array.

Accompanied by a rumbling vibration, the defensive power of the Netherworld Palace’s Mountain Protection Array was quite astounding, and it held up.

But Li Qian was not surprised; instead, a smile appeared on his face.

As his mind moved, the Array Flags emitted light, with intense Array Formation Fluctuation augmenting the Breaking Array Sword.

Buzz!

The Mountain Protection Array of the Netherworld Palace was torn open.

Immediately, the Breaking Array Sword trembled violently before exploding with a roar; the Mountain Protection Array of the Netherworld Palace could no longer be maintained and began to collapse.
