Chapter 1648: Chapter 1644: A Meeting Gift (Third Update)
Liu Cai calmed himself and said with a smile, "Old Chi, what’s gotten into you? What are you talking about, such a mess? Traps and schemes, does the Chongxu clan really plan to annihilate all of us Middle Rank experts in one go?"
Upon hearing this, the young noblemen behind Liu Cai all burst into laughter.
To them, this was clearly a joke.
But these words reminded Chi Xiao, whose face turned a pale, almost transparent, whispering to himself, "That’s right! He plans to wipe us all out in one swoop! To make us his slaves, indeed! He must be! He is an existence more evil than a demon..."
Liu Cai did not hear what Chi Xiao was muttering, but that didn’t stop him from showing a look of disgust.
He frowned slightly, "Chi Xiao, I think you’re really embarrassing yourself. As a dignified quasi-Immortal King Level expert, why are you so incoherent? Do you really think the Chongxu clan intends to harm us? Ridiculous!"
With a cold laugh, Liu Cai continued, "Even if that Chongxu clan thinks that way, it’s destined to be a futile effort because I’ve heard the news that not only various noble families are going, but even the Domain Lord himself received the news and plans to go! That’s a quasi-first-class Immortal King expert. Do you think that Chongxu clan is capable of handling such a presence?"
These words did have an effect, at least soothing Chi Xiao’s anxious heart. He widened his eyes, staring blankly at Liu Cai.
"The... Domain Lord is also planning to attend?"
"That’s what the news says, and it seems highly probable!"
Chi Xiao’s expression began to fluctuate unpredictably.
If it’s indeed as the rumors suggest, that even the Domain Lord is preparing to attend this celebration,
Then this guy has truly shot himself in the foot.
Chi Xiao doubted if the various great clans’ prowess could withstand Hei Sha’s mysterious abilities.
But the Domain Lord is different.
An unrivaled powerhouse from the depths of the Abyss, a quasi-first-class Immortal King power makes him a major figure even in this Lost Paradise.
So his gaze gradually became firm.
He knew clearly that his current mental state was seriously problematic.
If not properly addressed, then he could forget about making any progress on his path of cultivation in the future.
So even for the sake of his future, he had to attend this celebration.
With this thought, his expression gradually calmed down, slightly nodding towards Liu Cai and others, "If that’s the case, then I’ll go along with everyone!"
In the eternally dark sky of the eighth layer city, a palace floated.
This palace was very close to the upper city, and it was the dwelling place of the Middle Rank Domain Lord.
Often, the Middle Rank Domain Lord wasn’t in this eighth layer city but resided above the ninth layer.
But this time, he happened to be in the palace.
It was a silent large hall, with many people kneeling below the palace.
Behind a huge table, there was almost intangible darkness.
Invitations floated in the air as if someone was reviewing them.
After a long time,
A flame of darkness suddenly rose from the invitation, burning it into nothingness.
Then a cold laugh was heard from within the void.
"This Chongxu Xuan is truly getting more muddle-headed as he gets older. A mere son-in-law ascending to the throne, and he dares to invite me over, what is he thinking?"
An old man below the steps smiled upon hearing this, "Domain Lord, please calm your anger. I think there must be something fishy about this matter. After all, that guy Chongxu Xuan isn’t stupid; how could he let a mere Spirit Envoy hold the power of their clan?"
"Fishy? Haha! What could be fishy? How many people who emerge from the Abyss are fools?"
"Then according to the Domain Lord’s meaning, should we go or not?" the old man asked in a deep voice.
"Haha, if it were before, I would certainly not go, but this time is different. I was just about to summon everyone here, and since there’s an opportunity, it saves me the trouble! I’ll go for a bit, and maybe announce some things publicly!"
Upon hearing this, the old man’s expression changed dramatically, "The Domain Lord, could it be..."
"Precisely orders from the majesty of the High Stratum!"
The old man’s face turned somewhat pale, bowing his head with a full face of reverence.
"Go ahead, reply to Chongxu Xuan, tell him I’ll go when the time comes, and let him prepare!"
"Understood!"
Just when the entire Middle Rank was all fired up, Xue An finally finished inscribing the last rune, then wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a long sigh.
"Hubby, what are you doing?" A virtual image, like a flower elf, fluttered out, with An Yan’s voice coming through.
This was her new method of research, allowing just a strand of Divine Sense to take form, making it safer when flying out of the Magic Treasures Pavilion.
Xue An raised his hand, and An Yan landed on his fingertip.
Then Xue An smiled and said, "Nothing much, just a little greeting gift for everyone in this Middle Rank!"
"Oh!" An Yan responded.
At this moment, two caterpillars suddenly appeared on Xue An’s arm.
As soon as these two caterpillars appeared, they began to crawl diligently, while the voices of Xiang Xiang and Nian Nian came from inside,
"Haha! Silly Nian Nian, you can’t catch me!"
"Sister, you’re cheating. You said we’d start on three, but you started crawling first!"
"I am cheating, catch me if you can!"
No doubt!
These two silly caterpillars were Xiang Xiang and Nian Nian transformed through Divine Sense.
The one running in front was Xiang Xiang, followed closely behind by Nian Nian.
The two of them began to chase each other, gnashing their teeth, using Xue An’s arm as their field.
However, their speed of pursuit was somewhat pitiful.
Despite all the shouting, they had only moved a few centimeters after ages.
Xue An was amused yet exasperated at the sight.𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
"Hey, who let you two out?" An Yan questioned.
"It was Sister Ying!"
"Yes, it was Sister Ying!"
Xiang Xiang and Nian Nian said in unison.
"Hu Ying? Ying’er came out too?" Xue An was slightly stunned.
Then a cartoonified, cute little fox suddenly popped out from Xue An’s sleeve, saying mischievously.
"Hehe, yes! It’s so lively outside; of course, we have to come out and take a look!"
"So that means only Xiao Yu is left at home?" An Yan asked.
Just as she finished speaking, a scream was heard from above, "Ahhhhh, be careful, I’m going to fall..."
With that, a big spider, waving its limbs, descended from the sky, its face even showing a look of utter terror.
Xue An sighed helplessly, extending his hand to catch the spider.
Only then did Zhang Xiao Yu let out a breath of relief, and gave an embarrassed smile to An Yan, "Sister Yan, I’m out too!"
