Chapter 2058: Chapter 2059: Delay Brings Change—Act Now (Third Update)
With an order given, the entire Profound Ming Tomb became busy.
The master of the tomb said to prepare a grand feast, so it naturally had to be of the highest standards.
Therefore, a variety of exotic ingredients were brought into the kitchen as if flowing in a stream.
Many of these only existed in legends.
As the entire Profound Ming Tomb was in chaos due to the upcoming feast,
in a certain void not far from the Profound Ming Tomb, countless lights rushed forward, then halted, revealing the figures of Xue An and his companions.
"Sir, not far ahead is the Profound Ming Tomb!" The Wine Sword Immortal Linghu Jue observed the surrounding starry sky and said solemnly.
Xue An nodded, "Is everything ready?"
"Reporting to the lord, everything is ready!" everyone responded in unison.
"Unlock the shackles!"
With an order given.
The sword marks on everyone’s foreheads suddenly emitted a brilliant light, and then these lights bound their hands like chains, causing their aura to plummet to the bottom.
Looking at these sword cultivators whose eyes became dull and seemed to have their entire cultivation level sealed, Xue An nodded in satisfaction.
"Very good, follow me!"
With that, Xue An waved his hand, and the sword qi linked everyone like threads, and then Xue An led them towards the Profound Ming Tomb.
When Xue An’s figure appeared before the mountain gate of the Profound Ming Tomb, the entire tomb was in an uproar.
"What’s going on? Why did so many sword cultivators suddenly arrive?"
"No, why do all these sword cultivators seem listless, as if they are being controlled?"
The disciples of the Profound Ming Tomb couldn’t help but whisper among themselves.
Xue An was not in a hurry. At this moment, having transformed into Mu Hongxi, he stood calmly in the void in front of the mountain gate, waiting patiently.
Sure enough.
In just the time it takes for a cup of tea, a deep and commanding laughter echoed from within the Profound Ming Tomb.
"Hahaha, Brother Mu, I never thought you would arrive so quickly, forgive me for not welcoming you from afar!"
With those words, a majestic light flew to the mountain gate, and when it faded, there stood Dou Yin’an, the master of the Profound Ming Tomb.
Dou Yin’an, who always kept his emotions hidden, now had a face full of smiles.
Especially when he saw the sword cultivators behind Xue An, surrounded by sword qi shackles, Dou Yin’an’s smile grew even broader as he eagerly stepped forward, reaching out to pat Xue An on the shoulder.
Xue An nonchalantly stepped back half a step and said coldly, "Master Dou, with such a grand display, are you trying to get me killed?"
Upon hearing this.
Anger flashed in Dou Yin’an’s eyes.
For with his status, no one dared to speak to him like this.
But remembering Mu Hongxi’s true identity, he let it go and patted his own head.
"See, my memory... I was so happy that I forgot about that!"
Speaking, Dou Yin’an glanced sternly at the disciples around the mountain gate, coldly saying, "All of you, remember, you saw nothing today. If I hear any nonsense from you, be careful of your heads, understood?"
The disciples shivered and responded in unison, "Yes!"
After doing this, Dou Yin’an turned to Xue An with a face full of smiles.
"Brother Mu, rest assured, their lives are in my hands, they dare not speak recklessly. The feast is ready; let us proceed now!"
"And what about these people?" Xue An indifferently pointed at the sword cultivators behind him.
"That’s easy. Men!"
With a command, numerous subordinates appeared around Dou Yin’an.
"Here!"
"Lock them all in the dungeon!"
"Yes!"
"Hold on!" Xue An suddenly stopped them.
"Hmm? What else does Brother Mu have to say?" Doubt flashed in Dou Yin’an’s eyes.
"Master Dou, I think it would be better to lock them in the Underground Palace."
"Oh? Why do you say that?" Dou Yin’an’s smile remained, but a hint of wariness appeared deep in his eyes.
"Simply because if Master Dou wishes to use these sword cultivators for your own end, you must rely on our power; thus, locking them in the Underground Palace is most convenient!" Xue An said lightly.
Upon hearing this explanation, the doubt in Dou Yin’an’s eyes vanished.
"Oh, I see, then lock them in the Underground Palace!"
The subordinates immediately stepped forward and took the sword cultivators away.
"Brother Mu, please!" Dou Yin’an said with a broad smile, his manner more like a country squire than the master of a grand sect.
But Xue An knew very well, anyone who truly took him for a country squire would meet a miserable end.
For every movement and word of Dou Yin’an concealed a hint of celestial law, indicating he had refined his cultivation level to the highest peak, merging celestial law with himself.
This revealed that his power was at least at the Immortal Emperor Peak.
Such a level made him truly supreme in the Multiverse.
Yet Xue An displayed no emotion, maintaining the aloof demeanor expected of this extraterrestrial entity throughout.
This behavior perfectly dispelled all of Dou Yin’an’s doubts.
When they arrived at the banquet hall, a grand feast was already set.
Moreover, two rows of fair-skinned maidens knelt on both sides of the hall.
Dou Yin’an chuckled, "Brother Mu, I remember you said last time that you liked the maidens of the Multiverse, but your departure was too hasty then to prepare. This time I make up for it at once!"
"Don’t underestimate these maidens, they all come from noble families of the Multiverse, with well-documented lineage and impressive cultivation, ready to delight Brother Mu!"
Saying this, Dou Yin’an winked, wearing a knowing expression shared among men.
Xue An merely snorted coldly, not even glancing at the kneeling maidens with tears of indignation on their faces, but instead sat directly at the banquet table.
"Master Dou, I think we should discuss business first! As for women, they are but external things, not worth mentioning!"
"Hahaha, Brother Mu is a true hero, I am impressed!" Dou Yin’an forced a few laughs, concealing a trace of displeasure in his eyes, then sat beside Xue An.
"Did you receive the message I sent you?" Xue An casually stirred a freshly hatched steamed exotic beast with his chopsticks, speaking lightly.
"Yes, I received it. It’s surprising that Jian San was so powerful, even defeating Li Jingxing to unconsciousness!" Dou Yin’an sighed.
Xue An put down his chopsticks, gazing directly at Dou Yin’an and said, "Now the Jian Sect is at my disposal, and these sword cultivators have all been brought back. Next, what do you plan to do?"
"Naturally, to leverage the force of the Sword Palace, sweep the multiverse, and unify it!" Dou Yin’an replied smiling.
Xue An nodded, "In that case, let’s not delay; we should now subdue those sword cultivators!"
With that said, Xue An stood up and walked out.
"In such a hurry? Why not eat first? This feast was specially prepared for you!" Dou Yin’an said.
"Meals can be eaten at any time, but those sword cultivators are like bombs; delay might bring change. It’s best to deal with them sooner!"
At this point, Xue An glanced at Dou Yin’an and said, "So we should go to the Underground Palace now!"
