Chapter 2840 - 2841: Palace of Light Headquarters
Chapter 2840: Chapter 2841: Palace of Light Headquarters
These were two young men, both dressed in the same attire with light-symbolizing embroidery on their chests that was quite striking.
Upon seeing this scene, Tang Xiao was taken aback.
Because she simply hadn’t expected that it would be two ordinary men appearing deep in this void.
In such a situation, shouldn’t it be some all-powerful domain outsiders appearing?
While she was surprised, Yun Lingxuan blurted out suddenly.
"How... how is it you guys?"
The tone seemed quite familiar.
The two men were also shocked when they saw Xue An and his group, but quickly calmed down, cupping their fists respectfully at Xue An.
"Sir? How did you get here?"
Xue An smiled freely, "It’s nothing, I just came out to handle some matters and happened to pass by!"
Saying so, he looked up at this wall of light and said indifferently, "But appearing here, could it be that this is the location of the Palace of Light?"
That’s right!
The two men appearing here were none other than Duan Muguang and Wu Jun.
They had originally racked their brains to infiltrate the Ling’an Literary Meeting to assassinate Shi Chang, but the situation changed drastically, and they were ultimately rescued by Xue An.
Afterwards, Xue An pointed them to a bright path.
He told them to join the Sects where their master’s former allegiance lay, which was this Palace of Light.
The two agreed and left, and since then, Xue An hadn’t heard from them again, unexpectedly meeting them here in this remote void.
Duan Muguang nodded, "That’s right, Sir. This is indeed where the Palace of Light’s headquarters is located!"
At this moment, Tang Xiao suddenly covered her mouth in shock, "They’re... they’re actually evil beings?"
Initially, Tang Xiao didn’t pay much attention and didn’t notice anything unusual about the two.
But seeing Xue An being quite familiar with them piqued her interest, and inspecting them further led to a shocking discovery.
She astonishingly found that the blood lineage of these two flowed in a way completely different from normal people, belonging to that of evil beings.
Duan Muguang showed an embarrassed expression, while Wu Jun coldly snorted.
"What’s wrong with being evil beings? There are good and bad among evil beings too!"
Tang Xiao was left speechless by the retort, but the wariness in her eyes didn’t lessen in the slightest.
After all, on the West Hua Continent, even a small child knows that evil beings are bad.
Especially for the Qisi Poetry Society, which always upholds literary orthodoxy, there is a hostile stance towards all evil beings.
Now, seeing Xue An acquainted with these two men with evil lineage, Tang Xiao’s suspicion grew deeper.
Did he come all the way through the vast void to find the fragment of the Ancient Mirror, or was it to specifically find these two?
What secret relationship might there be between them?
Tang Xiao began to let her mind wander, though this time she was clearly wronging Xue An.
Xue An indeed hadn’t expected to meet Duan Muguang and Wu Jun here.
In fact, the first time he heard the name ’Palace of Light’ was from Shi Chang, so he subconsciously thought it was just an ordinary sect on the West Hua Continent.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a top force occupying a part of the void.
Seemingly sensing Xue An’s curiosity, Duan Muguang laughed, "There is indeed a Palace of Light on the West Hua Continent, but that’s just a branch. The real headquarters is here!"
"And the reason we were dispatched here is because of our outstanding performance, combined with our master’s past prestige!"
Xue An listened and nodded slightly, but his thoughts stirred.
According to the lead from the talkative fragment, at least one shard was in this direction.
So Xue An had followed all the way, and as a result, he encountered the headquarters of the Palace of Light here.
Was it a coincidence... or is the shard inside this Palace of Light?
While Xue An was contemplating secretly, Duan Muguang solemnly said, "Sir, may I ask what brings you here to such a distant place?"
Xue An smiled, "It’s nothing much, just some trivial matters. But after this long journey, I’m quite tired. Could I rest for a few days inside your Palace of Light?"
Upon hearing this, both Duan Muguang and Wu Jun appeared troubled.
"This..."
"What? Is there some difficulty?" Xue An slightly raised an eyebrow.
"Of course not!" Duan Muguang said urgently, "Sir’s immense favor to us is unforgettable. We were only worried that this land of evil beings might be somewhat offensive to you. But if you don’t mind, we have nothing more to say!"
Xue An chuckled, "Don’t worry, I’m merely stopping the foot to recover some energy. I’ll leave immediately after, and I promise not to cause you two any trouble!"
Hearing Xue An’s words, both Duan Muguang and Wu Jun showed embarrassed expressions.
"Sir, what are you saying? Please, come in!"
With that, the two turned to lead the way ahead.
As the wall of light gradually revealed an opening, Xue An smiled slightly, "Let’s go!"
Xue An stepped forward to proceed, Yun Lingxuan and Tuan’er followed easily, but Tang Xiao was somewhat dumbfounded.
"Wait a moment!" she called in a low voice.
Xue An glanced sideways, "What’s the matter?"
Although it was just a casual question, Tang Xiao couldn’t help shrinking back a bit and then replied weakly.
"It’s the evil beings’ stronghold after all, and we’re just heading in like this?"
"Otherwise? Should we wait for them to send an honor guard to welcome us?" Xue An said indifferently.
Tang Xiao was left frustrated, "I didn’t mean that. I mean we’re all from the Human Clan, and evil beings and us are like water and fire, incompatible. Marching in like this, what if there’s danger?"
"What kind of danger?"
"Like falling into a trap or something?"
"There won’t be. I trust those two! Of course, if you don’t, you can wait outside!"
With that, Xue An didn’t waste more words, stepping inside.
Tang Xiao was quite angry, she found herself getting more and more unable to stay calm since encountering this Xue An.
For instance, this time, she simply intended a kind reminder, yet Xue An gave her no face at all.
He even said that if she was afraid, she could wait outside...
Tang Xiao glanced at the eerily still void around her, shivered, and quickly followed along.
Though entering this so-called Palace of Light might be dangerous, staying outside in this pitch-black void that was terrifyingly silent made Tang Xiao fear she would go mad on the spot.
Choosing the lesser of two evils, Tang Xiao could only grit her teeth and follow behind Xue An into the wall of light.
What she saw took her completely by surprise.
First, it wasn’t the dirty, bloody, foul place she imagined.
On the contrary, it was surprisingly clean inside.
