Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

Chapter 1243: Chapter 1229: Changes in the Qingtian Realm

Mysterious Realm.

When Xiao Yi quietly led the experts of the Tiance Clan out through a secret passage from their ancestral land.

In the distant ancestral land of the Martial Clan.

Before a gigantic ancient bronze coffin, a severed arm full of cracks was originally lying atop it, but suddenly now, its five fingers stood upright like feet.

Those fingers appeared like sharp eyes capable of penetrating the barriers of time and space.

As if they could see through to Tiance City thousands of miles away.

"The Tiance Clan, they have indeed left..."

The severed fingers gently tapped the surface of the ancient coffin, producing a crisp knocking sound, while a deep and hoarse voice echoed throughout the ancestral land, "Now the entire Mysterious Realm has fallen into the hands of my Martial Clan. Only one step remains for my millennia-long planning..."

The severed arm gently pushed open the lid of the bronze coffin.

A stream of dark energy shot out from the gap, and these dark energies were unusually close to the severed arm.

Like a flock of baby swallows eager for their mother’s return with food.

They frenziedly surged towards the severed arm.

Surrounding it completely, they flew into the bronze coffin.

With a loud thud.

The entire ancient coffin closed again.

And at this moment...

Dark forces around the bronze coffin spread out in all directions like ink seeping into rice paper. Wherever the dark forces touched, all life was absorbed into these dark energies.

The corrosion seemed to fuse with the bronze coffin.

This dark energy continued spreading.

In the darkness.

"Xiao Yi, is it? A fun little fellow, I am increasingly looking forward to our meeting in a year. I hope you won’t let me down..."

A low and hoarse voice, seemingly excited yet thoughtful, emanated again from within the bronze coffin, "But for now, let’s first turn this Mysterious Realm into a world solely belonging to me!"

Boom!

The speed of the dark energy’s spread suddenly increased several times over.

Everything it passed became lifeless, transforming into more dark energy, continuing to spread in all directions.

Looking at this trend...

It may not even take a year to engulf the entire Mysterious Realm.

...

Qingtian Realm, Central Continent.

Upon the vast ocean.

An insignificant island appeared like a lone boat in the vastness.

And at this moment...

Several figures suddenly appeared on the island.

It was Xiao Yi and the experts of the Tiance Clan. When they arrived on this island, it rumbled loudly and then completely collapsed, sinking into the waves and disappearing entirely.

Xiao Yi and his group stood suspended in the air.

Watching the whirlpool slowly closing on the sea, the eyes of the experts were filled with emotion and melancholy.

Not so long ago...

The Tiance Clan had prided themselves as the fated legacy, favored by the heavens, blessed with fortune.

And now...

They had no choice but to flee together, leaving the Mysterious Realm they had inhabited for countless ages.

Furthermore.

If not for Xiao Yi’s appearance, the Tiance Clan might have already been annihilated and faded from this world.

"The teleportation array left by our ancestors barely transported us here before it shattered..." Fang Tianchi sighed with a complex expression.

He was the current patriarch of the Tiance Clan.

Under his leadership, the Tiance Clan was displaced, fleeing from the Mysterious Realm, making it challenging for him to face his ancestors.

The experts around from the Tiance Clan all lowered their heads, remaining silent.

In the past...

If Fang Tianchi led them into such a disgraceful retreat, they would have already initiated a motion to impeach the patriarch, but now, they all knew the strength and horror of the Martial Clan. Without Xiao Yi’s intervention, they would have either submitted to the Martial Clan or faced extinction!

Who would dare blame Fang Tianchi at this moment?

"Elder Xiao, what should we do next?" Fang Tianchi asked.

Everyone turned to look at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi said in a deep voice, "For now, our priority is to return to the Southern State as quickly as possible, then think of ways to contact the experts of other sacred places to inform them of what happened in the Mysterious Realm. But before that, we must make a trip to the Central Continent..."

He had been in the Mysterious Realm for several months.

During that time, he had no knowledge of what transpired in the Qingtian Realm.

He had to visit the Central Continent first to gather information about the developments in the Qingtian Realm.

At the same time...

The Central Continent also housed the two sacred lands of the human race, Tongtian Sword Pavilion and Purple Dragon Hall. Xiao Yi needed to gather the support from these sacred places to form an alliance. To resist the Martial Clan from the Mysterious Realm, which would emerge in a year, the two sacred places in the Central Continent were indispensable.

They immediately flew toward the Central Continent.

Fortunately, this sea area wasn’t too far from the Central Continent.

In two days, they reached the territory of the Central Continent.

After settling Fang Tianmiao and his group, Xiao Yi and Fang Tianchi headed straight for the Tongtian Sword Pavilion.

He had some personal ties with the elder of the Tongtian Sword Pavilion.

When seeking alliances, it was natural to start with familiar faces.

However...

When Xiao Yi and Fang Tianchi arrived at the Sky-Piercing Mountain Range where the Tongtian Sword Pavilion was located, they sensed something unusual.

The entire Sky-Piercing Mountain Range seemed extraordinarily quiet.

Compared to the last time Xiao Yi was here, where Tongtian Sword Pavilion disciples were all around engaging in training and combat, honing their skills. Now, except for some lower-level disciples, there were few masters above the Tao Tribulation Realm.

"What is going on?"

Xiao Yi’s face showed uncertainty.

Fang Tianchi looked contemplative and also sensed something unusual: "I suspect something happened in the Tongtian Sword Pavilion..."

The experts of the Tiance Clan were adept at reading fate.

Upon arriving at the Tongtian Sword Pavilion, they felt something was amiss.

Xiao Yi, with a stern expression, shook his head.

He didn’t say more.

The two headed directly into the depths of the Tongtian Sword Pavilion.

Before the ancestral peak.

As Xiao Yi and Fang Tianchi just landed, a figure burst out from the void, cautiously observing the two.

Upon seeing Xiao Yi, this Human Venerate Zun Realm expert of the Tongtian Sword Pavilion finally relaxed and stepped forward, saying, "I am Zheng Ansheng, deacon of the Tongtian Sword Pavilion. Greetings, Lord Xiao!"

"Deacon Zheng, greetings!"

Xiao Yi cupped his hands and said in a deep voice, "Deacon Zheng, I am here to meet with Elder Tongtian for some matters. I wonder if the elder is at the ancestral peak?"

Zheng Ansheng shook his head, then said, "The elder left the Tongtian Sword Pavilion half a month ago." Pausing, he continued, "Not only the elder and our experts of the Tongtian Sword Pavilion but even the experts of the Purple Dragon Hall have left the Central Continent together."

"Hmm?"

Xiao Yi’s expression changed slightly.

The experts of the two sacred places in the Central Continent had left in full strength?

What’s going on?

He faintly sensed something major had happened in the Qingtian Realm!

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the ancestors of these two sacred places to leave with all their disciples. noveldrama

Xiao Yi asked, "Has something significant occurred?"

Zheng Ansheng nodded and said in a deep voice, "A shocking event has occurred in the extreme south..."
