Chapter 2070: Chapter 2071: One Versus Two, the Great Battle Begins (Second Update)
But what happened next shocked everyone, and the sarcasm on Xue Ya’s face froze.
Because at that moment, Xue An suddenly swung his hand, slapping the elder across the face.
Slap!
After an extremely crisp and loud sound, the Profound Ming elder was caught off guard and was knocked flying, tumbling several times in the air before landing with a thud.
When he hit the ground, half of his face was shattered, and blood continuously poured from his mouth and nose, making him look utterly wretched.
The place fell into dead silence.
Xue Ya’s mouth was wide open, staring dazedly at the scene before him.
No matter how he thought about it, he never expected his mortal enemy would be so brazen as to dare slap an elder.
The elder was also dumbfounded by the slap, sitting on the ground, staring blankly at Xue An, his body starting to tremble, eyes bulging and bloodshot.
"You... you..."
However, Xue An was unmoved, instead saying calmly, "I have important matters to report to the Tomb Master. Who are you to stop me?"
With that, Xue An didn’t even spare the elder another glance as he stepped towards the banquet hall.
No one dared to stop him as he passed.
Not only that, Xue An also said calmly, "Restrain everyone here, and if anyone dares to move, kill without mercy!"
Jian ZaiXin and Linghu Jue of the Jian Sect led the command, then filed in, instantly bringing the situation in the banquet hall under control.
It should be noted that although these elders held high positions and power, their strength and cultivation level were quite ordinary.
With the strength of Linghu Jue and others, controlling these good-for-nothings was no effort at all.
Even the second Divine General, Xue Ya, obediently submitted without any resistance.
But he did so for a reason.
Because he wanted to see what fate awaited Ling Qi in the end.
After all, just intruding on the banquet hall would be enough to get him in deep trouble, not to mention the insubordination of a slap that sent the Profound Ming elder flying. Surely, death awaited.
Thus, he watched Xue An striding towards the depths of the hall with a heart full of cold laughter, as if watching a dead man.
Meanwhile, Dou Yin’an remained completely oblivious to everything happening in the banquet hall.
This was largely due to Xue An’s Divine Sense blockade, and partly because Dou Yin’an was drunk.
Indeed!
The mighty Tomb Master of Profound Ming Tomb, an elite of the Immortal Emperor level, was now drunkenly slapping Li Xuanyi on the shoulder, smiling as he said.
"Brother Li, honestly, I truly admire you. You can serve three Masters of the Human Emperor’s Palace in succession, yet remain steady without arousing suspicion. Your methods are truly remarkable."
These words seemed to praise Li Xuanyi, but there was more to them.
However, Li Xuanyi merely chuckled and replied, "Master Dou, you’re overestimating me. The fact that I can remain unscathed within the Human Emperor’s Palace is surely due to the magnanimity of the Masters, wouldn’t you agree?"
This response cleverly sidestepped Dou Yin’an’s topic.
"Hahahaha!" Dou Yin’an laughed heartily, "Yes, indeed, I’ve had too much to drink, not thinking about that! Come, let’s drink to Master Luo!"
The two were just about to raise their glasses.
But just then, the door to the small room was suddenly pushed open from outside.
Then Xue An stepped inside.
Seeing that it was his subordinate, Ling Qi, entering, Dou Yin’an’s expression darkened.
"Why are you here? Who let you in?"
In his drunken haze, Dou Yin’an failed to notice anything amiss.
Xue An smiled faintly, then casually closed the door.
"I have my reasons for being here!"
With those words, Dou Yin’an was instantly jolted awake, a chill running through him.
"No, you’re not Ling Qi. Who are you?"
As he spoke, a mighty Immortal Emperor’s pressure surged forward, strong enough to turn an ordinary strongman into dust.
But Xue An didn’t even blink, and as the pressure approached, it dissipated into nothing.
Then, Xue An spoke slowly, "You locked us in the Underground Palace, and now you ask who I am?"
Dou Yin’an’s eyes widened instantly.
Beside him, Li Xuanyi blurted out, "Are you Li Jingxing?"
Xue An turned to look at Li Xuanyi, a cold gleam flashing in his eyes, "Human Emperor’s Palace?"
Li Xuanyi didn’t respond but took a few steps back.
Meanwhile, Dou Yin’an couldn’t help but say, "That’s impossible; no one can escape from the Underground Palace, and you weren’t even supposed to..."
Realizing his slip of the tongue, Dou Yin’an hurriedly shut his mouth.
Because if it were to be known that he, for personal gain, sold the corpses of Profound Ming Tomb’s ancestors to extraterrestrial evils and transformed them into zombies, his position as Tomb Master would be at risk.
After all, this was beyond the bounds of morality.
But hearing this, Xue An just smiled, "Is this what you mean?"
As he spoke, Xue An waved his hand, and a Buddha Kingdom appeared from his palm, releasing a dozen zombies whose ghostly fires in their eyes fixed on Dou Yin’an.
Seeing this, Dou Yin’an panicked even more.
But soon he calmed down and laughed wickedly.
"Remarkable, that you even escaped such a desperate situation. Truly worthy of being the Lord of Jian Sect!"
"But do you think escaping from the Underground Palace means you can do anything to me? You’re too naive!"
With that, Dou Yin’an glanced at Li Xuanyi, "Chief Guard, this man has close ties with the Red Lotus Immortal Venerable. If we want to deal with Xue An, we first have to eliminate him, so we must join forces to kill him now!"
Li Xuanyi remained silent, but the rising aura around him indicated his intent.
Though Li Xuanyi’s strength didn’t match Dou Yin’an’s, as the Chief Guard of the Human Emperor’s Palace, his power was comparable to that of an Immortal Emperor.
Now, with the two joining forces, their accumulated might shattered the small space they were in.
The people in the banquet hall heard a loud noise and then saw three figures confronting each other in mid-air.
But this scene only lasted a few fleeting moments, then Xue An sneered, his eyes suddenly shining brightly.
"Armory... open!"
With the command, a black void portal appeared above the banquet hall, the massive suction pulling Xue An, Dou Yin’an, Li Xuanyi, and the zombies into it.
The portal quickly contracted, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Leaving the astonished crowd standing there, utterly confused as to what had occurred.
After a long while, Xue Ya swallowed nervously, eyes full of shock, murmuring softly.
"What... what exactly happened? Where is the Tomb Master?"
