On the plane, Ye Wuya used Divine Consciousness Sound Transmission to speak to Xia Liu. "I can't figure this out." Xia Liu shook his head. After ruling out the five Immortal Sects, he had no idea where these two powerful individuals could be from. As expected, the background of these two must be incredibly strong. Right now, he still didn't understand why he had provoked this force. "Could they be from the Immeasurable Sect?" Ye Wuya knew some things. Xia Liu had once destroyed the Xuantian Sect and Xishan Ghost Gate with the Qingyun Sect and the Immeasurable Sect. The Qingyun Sect definitely wouldn't target Xia Liu. So among the Immortal Sects, the only one that might strike against Xia Liu would be the Immeasurable Sect. "No, I just came from the Immeasurable Sect. After I sorted them out, there's no cultivator there with a cultivation above Qi Cultivation Level Thirteen." "What! You just came from the Immeasurable Sect!" Originally thought it was the Immeasurable Sect, but then heard this astonishing news. Xia Liu is truly terrifying. "Yes, Jun Tianding from the Immeasurable Sect wanted to seize my Wood Origin, but I ended up killing him. Sect Master Wang Liang was so worried I'd destroy the Immeasurable Sect that his Heart Demon took over, leading him to succumb to evil. I shattered his cultivation and sealed his Divine Sense, leaving him to only live as an ordinary person in the future..." Xia Liu simply explained the situation at the Immeasurable Sect. Sitting beside Xia Liu, Ye Wuya's expression was quite remarkable. Though it sounded like a story, his emotions were deeply stirred. He knew that everything Xia Liu said was true! Who is Jun Tianding? A hundred years ago, he was a powerhouse sweeping through the Huaxia Realm! There were speculations that Jun Tianding's cultivation was nearing the Foundation Establishment Stage! It's unimaginable that Xia Liu could kill Jun Tianding, who was near Foundation Establishment! Absolutely terrifying! Moreover, after killing Jun Tianding, Xia Liu still had the strength left to deal with the sect master invaded by the Heart Demon. That was a genuine Qi Cultivation Level Fifteen cultivator. Ye Wuya couldn't imagine the extent of Xia Liu's limits. His current aura was merely at Qi Cultivation Level Twelve. Even if his cultivation was sealed, it couldn't fully unleash. Yet with this cultivation, he killed Jun Tianding, who surpassed Qi Cultivation Level Fifteen. He might even match a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator! Thinking of this, Ye Wuya was ablaze with excitement. Perhaps, Xia Liu will be the one to break the balance. He sure can elevate his cultivation to the Foundation Establishment Stage! Once this balance is broken, there will surely be more Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators emerging in the future. The cultivator realm, dormant for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, is about to get lively! After calming his emotions, Ye Wuya said, "Since it's not someone from the Immortal Sects, maybe there's only one possibility." "Oh? Does Senior Ye know something?" Xia Liu took great interest, knowing the force behind those two would allow him to prepare countermeasures. When the time comes to repel the two, he can arrange for everyone to move to a safe place. "They should be in the same place as the Ye Family Headquarters..." Hearing this reply, Xia Liu didn't know how to respond. Ye Wuya didn't know where the Ye Family Headquarters was. Nor did he know the true strength of the Ye Family Headquarters. Therefore, he couldn't explain further. Though disappointed, Xia Liu had a thought. This is the perfect opportunity to test the power of the Imperial Sky Guarding Array. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ N()velFire.net If these two can't break it, then there's no need to worry too much in the future. Half an hour after their conversation, fighter jets roared over Binlai City. In less than three minutes, Hejing County faintly appeared in view. From high above, Xia Liu saw billowing thick smoke rising from the ground. The smoke turned the sky ahead dark. "Damn!" Seeing this scene, Xia Liu's face twisted in anger. The appearance of that smoke indicated significant destruction in Hejing. The casualty numbers were unimaginable. "Chief Xia, we can't continue flying forward, please advise!" The fighter pilot said. "Open the hatch directly." "That's... understood!" Remembering the way Xia Liu boarded the plane earlier, the pilot didn't hesitate and immediately opened the hatch. After fastening the seatbelt, Xia Liu and Ye Wuya transformed into two beams of light, heading toward the source of the smoke. Upon getting closer, disregarding the tragic scene in the county, he controlled his sword to fly back to Osmanthus Village. Arriving at the boundary of Osmanthus Village, Xia Liu let out a sigh of relief. He could sense that the Imperial Sky Guarding Array hadn't suffered too much damage. The people within the array, as long as they didn't move outside, would be fine! "This array is a bit mysterious!" Sensing the formidable presence of the Imperial Sky Guarding Array, Ye Wuya said in astonishment. "A Seven-Level Guardian Formation, hardly any below Foundation Establishment can withstand it head-on." Xia Liu explained with a wry smile. "Hmm? A Seven-Level Guardian Spirit Array, where did you get that from?" Ye Wuya was taken aback. Such high-level formations are rare in the realm. Those possessing such high-strength guarding formations are mostly relics from the Cultivator Era. Where did Xia Liu obtain this Seven-Level Guardian Formation? "To be honest, Senior Ye, I set up this array myself." Ye Wuya was having trouble breathing. He stared at Xia Liu incredulously. This guy could set up a Seven-Level Guardian Formation! Xia Liu didn't let Ye Wuya remain shocked for long. He signaled to enter the village first. A minute later, Xia Liu and Ye Wuya arrived at the Osmanthus Sect. Within their divine sense, they found everyone gathered on the Osmanthus Sect plaza. This was quite different from Xia Liu's plan. Xia Liu distinctly remembered instructing Fang Fei to organize everyone to move to the back of the mansion, scattering only if the array was broken. Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!! As sounds pierced through the air, everyone squatting in the plaza gathered their gaze in a certain direction. "It's Brother Xia Liu!" "Brother Xia Liu is back!" Just half an hour ago, they experienced one of the most unforgettable times of their lives. Back then, the sky was red, and the space was black. Smoke shrouded the village. If not for the mystical light curtain protecting the village and themselves. They might not have seen Xia Liu now. As for the casualties outside the light curtain, they dared not imagine. "Everyone, don't be too excited, I've returned!" Xia Liu showed no expression. Although everyone was fine, the threat persisted, and the tribulation had just begun. "Xia Liu, what exactly is going on, where did those two powerful individuals come from?" Fang Fei stepped forward to ask. "I don't know either. On my way back, I noticed that no strong aura seemed to be around, where did those two go?" Could it be those two failed to break the formation and returned to regroup? "We've been here all along, not knowing where they went." "Based on my estimation, if you don't know them, yet they can find this place, they likely have a treasure that can trace your location..."
