Chapter 1672: Chapter 1668: Past Grievances (Second Update)
"Your Highness’s injuries have not healed, and the ultimate defeat is unavoidable. Why not take this opportunity to let Your Highness leave as soon as possible? At least leave a last spark!" A voice suddenly said among the crowd.
Everyone fell silent upon hearing this, then nodded in agreement.
But at this moment, the door suddenly opened, and Fan Mengxue walked out.
"Your Highness!"
"Your Highness!"
Everyone was shocked and hurriedly paid their respects.
Fan Mengxue nodded, then took a deep breath, "I heard what you just said, and I am very moved, but I will absolutely not leave!"
"But... ."
"Don’t say anymore, and who says we will definitely lose?" At this, a faint smile appeared on Fan Mengxue’s pale face.
This was the first time everyone had seen Fan Mengxue smile since the incident occurred.
Not only that, at this moment, Fan Mengxue exuded a powerful confidence.
This confidence surprised everyone.
What’s going on?
Why does Your Highness seem like a completely different person?
Could it be that there is news of the old ancestor?
If so, that would be wonderful!
This thought set many people’s hearts aflame, and they hurriedly asked.
"Your Highness, is there news of the old ancestor?"
Fan Mengxue shook her head somewhat forlornly, "Not yet!"
The flame that had just burned in everyone’s eyes was extinguished at once.
But Fan Mengxue mysteriously blinked, "But someone will arrive soon, and once they do, all problems... will cease to be problems!"
He?
Who exactly is this he?
Everyone looked at each other in confusion, but seeing the confident look on Your Highness’s face, many could not help but rekindle hope.
Could it be... that someone will really come to save us?
Fan Mengxue was naturally referring to Xue An.
Only at this moment, Xue An had not immediately set off for the Thirteenth Layer of Heaven, but had temporarily stayed in the High Stratum.
However, he did not appear before anyone, and even the people of the Middle Rank did not know where he had gone.
This sudden disappearance left many people terrified, after all, there were quite a few covetous eyes on the outside world at this time!
So where did Xue An go?
Of course, he had not disappeared, but had entered a profound place.
This was a place filled with flames.
No time, no space!
Nothing existed except the rampant Fire Demons.
In this hell-like environment, there was a Divine Soul hanging in the center, "enjoying" the scorching heat enough to melt everything.
Under such high temperatures, this Divine Soul couldn’t endure for long before it would collapse.
But the miracle was, when his Divine Soul just collapsed, it would be immediately recomposed by a peculiar force, and then resurrected.
Thus, the screams of this Divine Soul were quite unique.
Often, after a few cries of "ah ah," they would cease abruptly, and then start again once resurrected.
And this torment had been going on for an unknown length of time.
At this moment, the scorching heat waves suddenly subsided, and even the flames in the sky suddenly restrained themselves.
Then someone could be seen walking slowly from afar.
With each step, a lotus flower made of flames would rise.
This miraculous scene did not capture the attention of this Divine Soul.
He just hung his head quietly, as if already broken.
At this moment, Xue An approached the Divine Soul, first examining it with interest, then smiled, "Shang Peng, how is this treatment?"
Indeed!
This Divine Soul tormented by the scorching flames was none other than Shang Peng.
And this magical space was inside Xue An.
As Xue An’s strength gradually recovered, he had already opened a separate Divine Thought Space within himself.
And this was one of them.
These flames were naturally set by Xue An specifically for Shang Peng.
Shang Peng still hung his head.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to speak, but now his mind has already collapsed before his body.
After all, this kind of torment, dying and coming back to life repeatedly, is not something just anyone can bear.
Xue An smiled slightly when he saw this, then waved his hand casually.
An inexplicable force of Divine Sense poured into Shang Peng’s Divine Soul.
Only then did Shang Peng tremble all over, then slowly raise his head, staring at Xue An with a bewildered look.
It wasn’t until a long while later that he fully regained consciousness, then let out a hoarse and heart-wrenching scream.
"Kill me! I beg you to kill me!"
At this moment he no longer hoped to live, knowing that Xue An would definitely not let him go.
So he only begged for a quick death, to escape this torment enough to make one collapse.
Xue An watched Shang Peng leisurely until he became less agitated, then said softly, "What? You can’t endure just this little bit of torment?"
Shang Peng was practically on the verge of tears.
Is this just a little bit of torment?
This is even more despair-inducing than the most sinister hell!
So he sobbed and cried, "My lord, I beg you to kill me! As long as you end me, I’ll agree to anything you ask!"
"Oh? Then let me ask you, what is the situation in the Thirteenth Layer of Heaven? And who sent you to deal with Fan Mengxue?" Xue An asked softly.
"It was Wen Linglong!" Shang Peng immediately said.
"Wen Linglong?"
"Yes! He is a powerful figure from the Abyss, known as the Abyssal Child, and currently the one in control of the Thirteenth Layer of Heaven!"
"Controls the Thirteenth Layer of Heaven? Just him alone?" Xue An was slightly taken aback and immediately asked.
"That’s right!"
"Then where have the other powerful ones gone?"
"I don’t know either! You know, after that incident back then, the Thirteenth Layer of Heaven was cut off from other cities. I really don’t know what happened inside! Oh yes! There was another person! A Human Clan woman!" Shang Peng suddenly added.
"A Human Clan woman?"
"Yes, yes, I remember now, she seems to be from a place called... Court of Qiantian!"
Upon hearing the name Court of Qiantian, Xue An’s eyes suddenly shone brightly.
"Are you sure it’s the Court of Qiantian?"
"Yes, it’s the Court of Qiantian!"
"This is interesting!" A faint smile appeared on Xue An’s face, but his eyes were cold.
He was no stranger to the name Court of Qiantian.
Because in his past life, before Xue An became the Immortal Venerable, he had interacted with this Court of Qiantian.
And some grudges had even occurred between the two.
But before Xue An could deal with this Court of Qiantian after becoming the Immortal Venerable, he had fallen.
Unexpectedly, he encountered someone from the Court of Qiantian here this time!
However, this Court of Qiantian is a major sect of the Human Clan, and although the Court Leader is merely an Immortal King, its background is extremely profound.
Why would such a sect suddenly get involved in the muddy waters of the Lost Paradise?
But whether good or bad, this indicates that I’m getting closer to the trajectory of my past cultivation!
This also means that old friends and enemies from the past will be encountered one by one, and the news of my rebirth will gradually spread.
