Chapter 572 - 53: Knocking on the Door_2
Took a sharp, cold breath immediately.
Even Zhang Xiufeng, who had just shouted ’How dare you, scoundrel, interrupt my Ancestral Celestial Master?’ calmed down.
Because if this is true, then things are seriously bad.
Isn’t this equivalent to saying... the ’Artificial Celestial Gate’ has completely malfunctioned, and now even Gods have started dismantling it openly?
And is the legendary activation at the Divine Level... that so-called divine ’patrol’ imminent and about to happen?
"Wait, where did it go?"
Zhang Xiufeng suddenly thought of something, and looked again towards the towering top of the Bronze Gate.
"It might still be there."
Chen Qing also looked up, squinting his eyes: "Perhaps we just can’t see it now. Do you remember our identities? All four of us are Daoists, and we are all legitimate Daoists who have undergone Transmission and received Licensing.
I don’t mean to belittle or insult the Ancestral Celestial Master, but when an entity is threatened, it tends to seek external assistance... and generally, the targets for such assistance are entities of the same origin."
"Are you saying that the reason we were able to see that little girl just now was because the Ancestral Celestial Master... was seeking our help?"
Li Feng, who had been silent and quietly listening, from Qiyun Mountain Taixu Palace, heard this and couldn’t hold back anymore, his eyes widened suddenly.
"...Do you think that’s possible?"
Chen Qing did not provide a definite answer, but instead asked a question.
He didn’t seem very certain.
But Li Feng was stumped.
So were Zhang Xiufeng and the others.
Because when they thought carefully about it, it did seem possible.
After all, it didn’t appear later or earlier, it was right when the four of them appeared at the mountaintop that they saw the little girl.
It really seemed like the Ancestral Celestial Master was asking for help.
But the problem is.
What could they do? They couldn’t even fly at Kunlun Peak, let alone investigate the Stone.
So for a moment.
The four of them were at a loss.
"No way."
Zhang Xiufeng looked at the Bronze Gate, gritted his teeth, and suddenly pulled out a Talisman.
Chen Qing and the others’ expressions changed immediately, quickly reaching out to stop him: "What do you intend to do?"
"...Save the Ancestral Celestial Master."
Zhang Xiufeng’s eyes turned red, and he looked like he was about to lose his mind: "I don’t care if that’s a Deity or something else, I just can’t sit and watch!"
"Are you an idiot? Have you forgotten Ji Xin’s words?"
Chen Qing was shocked: "The simplified talisman Chen Lusi worked on might have slowed the Stone’s circulation in the Ancestral Celestial Master. Are you now saving the Ancestral Celestial Master or killing them by using the talisman?
And moreover, this isn’t just any place; this is Kunlun! If what we just saw is real, do you really think the Talisman could have an effect? And not further accelerate the progress of the divine ’patrol’?"
"..."
Zhang Xiufeng’s action immediately ceased.
And at this moment.
Another voice rang out.
"I also advise you not to do so."
Zhang Xiufeng and Chen Qing suddenly paused, immediately turning their heads.
Xia Yue flew over from a distance, covered in dust, like he had rolled around in the dirt a few times.
But his face was clean.
In his right hand, he held a ragged, disheveled vagrant.
The vagrant’s face was filthy, limbs naturally hanging, seemingly unconscious.
"Xia Yue!"
Chen Qing and the others saw him and paused again, then looked down at the person Xia Yue was holding, suddenly shocked.
...That’s the Kunlun Gatekeeper Chai Pool!
Instantly.
Chen Qing understood why the Kunlun mountaintop platform was in such disarray, as if something had plowed through it.
...A battle between Chai Pool, Kunlun’s strongest local force who guards the place, and Xia Yue, the current strongest force of the Celestial Strategy Mansion.
The two directly plowed through the entire Kunlun mountaintop platform... is really not an exaggeration.
But the problem is... why did they start fighting?
And Xia Yue actually won?
That’s the Enlightened, the legendary gatekeeping Divine Beast, invincible within the Kunlun boundary, undefeatable with Kunlun backing it... actually lost?
Moreover, how could Xia Yue fly within the Kunlun boundary?
Zhang Xiufeng and the others were filled with questions, and when they saw Xia Yue flying over with Chai Pool, they even briefly forgot about the matter of the Ancestral Celestial Master.
"Long time no see."
Xia Yue flew in front of Zhang Xiufeng and the others, then gently tossed Chai Pool to the ground, smiling in greeting.
Bang—
Zhang Xiufeng and the others looked at Chai Pool on the ground, then at Xia Yue slowly descending, then back at Chai Pool on the ground...
After looking twice.
Chen Qing difficultly asked, "What’s going on here?"
"Old Chai was corroded by the God, and as the divine ’patrol’ approaches, he became more aggressive, like a beast gone wild wanting to bite everyone."
Xia Yue pointed at the towering Bronze Gate and said casually: "I had no choice but to put him to sleep for now. But I didn’t expect him to have such thick skin and a sturdy body. After fully realizing the Authority Ability, he became even more formidable, truly deserving to be called a vagrant hardened by the winds and the elements."
The four of them: "..."
Divine corrosion...?
Thick skin...?
And fully realized... isn’t that the Enlightened’s true form?
Their expressions were peculiar, and they couldn’t help but connect this with what they had just seen and heard.
But what concerned them the most at the moment was Xia Yue’s current Tier.
They wanted to ask.
But for a moment, they didn’t dare to.
The atmosphere grew tense.
After a long silence, they ultimately decided not to touch on this topic.
Zhang Xiufeng looked at Chai Pool on the ground, then at the towering Bronze Gate, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Xia Yue, what exactly happened?"
