All Alone in the World

A massacre of unspeakable horror!

The Murong family was completely erased from the Heavenly Palace.

However, the losses suffered by the Heavenly Palace forces were also extremely severe!

Even the Golden Armor Guards lost over forty men.

And what about Xu Kang?

Murong Qinghong's light armor was stained with blood.

Her curvaceous figure now appeared somewhat bloody and terrifying.

Leaning back in her chair, Murong Qinghong massaged her temples, her voice tinged with exhaustion.

She had led the campaign herself, dispatching Xu Kang and Wang Jiudong to guard the Heavenly Palace!

In terms of strength, few in the entire Immortal Sect could rival these two.

That's why she had felt confident enough to fully commit to the battle.

But upon returning to the Heavenly Palace, she found the entire place eerily silent.

"Reporting, Palace Master, Guardian Xu... has disappeared."

A female guard cautiously stepped forward, her voice trembling.

Murong Qinghong frowned slightly. "Disappeared?"

"Yes."

The female guard gritted her teeth, mustering her courage to speak carefully. "And Guardian Wang... Guardian Wang has perished."

"Perished?"

Murong Qinghong's beautiful eyes widened. Suppressing her anger, she asked in a deep voice, "What happened!"

Within the Heavenly Palace, Xu Kang and Wang Jiudong were her right and left hands!

The female guard fell to her knees with a thud, weeping. "It was... it was Guardian Xu who killed Guardian Wang!"

Xu Kang had made no attempt to hide his actions.

Back then, it was he who, holding his horsetail whisk, killed Wang Jiudong in full view of everyone before leaving with an air of nonchalance.

"Nonsense! How could Xu Kang betray me? He has served me loyally for twenty years!" Murong Qinghong shrieked.

The female guard lowered her head, tears streaming from her eyes. "This servant is not lying!"

Swish!

A long sword swept out! Surging energy enveloped the area!

Blood mist filled the air. The female guard was now headless.

Murong Qinghong's chest heaved with rage.

First, the Minotaur intruded and took Shangguan Qianqian away.

Then, Murong Xiao's attempted usurpation forced her to personally lead a massacre against her own family.

And now, to top it all off, she was faced with Xu Kang's betrayal.

Abandoned by all!

Murong Qinghong gazed at the empty grand hall, a bitter smile curling at the corner of her mouth. "Retribution... it's all retribution..."

Suddenly, as if remembering something, she frantically rushed toward the direction of the dungeon.

When Murong Qinghong arrived at the dungeon, it was as if the last ounce of strength had been drained from her body. She fell to her knees with a thud.

Signs of a struggle were clearly evident here.

The dungeon's chains were broken, and Xing Yunjun had long since vanished without a trace.

"Who was it! Who! Who on earth was it!!"

Murong Qinghong went mad, letting out a shrill, piercing scream. Her exquisite face twisted into a terrifying, hideous visage.

Heavenly Palace, Inn.

"Uncle Cheng? He left last night."

Bai Xiu, unusually not asleep, scratched his head and yawned. "Need him for something?"

"Need him? More than just something! Where did he go?" An Yi asked urgently.

He knew Cheng Yuanfeng was nearby, but he hadn't expected him to have met with Lin Chen long ago. And now, it seemed he had just stepped out.

"He..."

Bai Xiu truly couldn't say, as he had been fast asleep by then.

"He has already set out to search for disciples of the Aura Control Sect," Gu Changfeng stated solemnly.

An Yi pondered. "If he left this morning, he probably hasn't gone far yet..."

"No need."

Shangguan Qianqian said softly.

Just knowing Cheng Yuanfeng was still alive had already brought her a great deal of peace.

"But... didn't the Aura Control Sect cease to exist long ago..."

Ning Er, remembering something, asked quietly, doubtfully.

"The Aura Control Sect may be no more, but its people are still alive!"

Shangguan Qianqian glanced coldly at this guy with his silly hat-like air bangs.

Ning Er immediately fell silent.

This Boss's wife was incredibly beautiful! But her personality was also like eternal, unmelting ice, inspiring awe and fear.

An Yi said leisurely, "This old man Cheng, still refusing to give up hope."

Gu Changfeng asked, "Boss, then what should we..."

An Yi said, "The conflict between the Murong family and the Heavenly Palace has intensified. Let's wait for the outcome."

"No need to wait. The Murong family has already been wiped out."

At that moment, the door suddenly opened, and Hua Fengyu's figure entered as he spoke gravely.

"The Murong family wiped out?"

Everyone's expressions changed.

An Yi raised an eyebrow. "How is that possible? Just last night..."

Hua Fengyu said through gritted teeth, "It was last night! Wiped out overnight! The entire Murong clan slaughtered. This Murong Qinghong has such a vicious heart!"

The Hua family, like the Murong family, was one of the four great families of the Heavenly Palace.

Now that the Murong family had been annihilated in an instant, taking down the Hua family probably wouldn't be a problem either.

"Murong Qinghong acted even faster than I imagined," Shangguan Qianqian said in a low voice, her face grim.

Hua Fengyu finally noticed Shangguan Qianqian's presence. His gaze fixed intently on her peerlessly beautiful features, and he was instantly greatly astonished. "You... you are the Holy Maiden!"

He was bewildered, unsure why the Heavenly Palace's Holy Maiden would be here.

Thud!

Just then, the window was pushed open. A tall, slender figure appeared and dragged another figure inside.

"Lin Chen!"

Hua Fengyu took a step back upon seeing him, then looked at the unconscious, tall, thin figure. "And that's Mo Jiu!"

He had seen both of them at the marriage tournament!

But why were they here?!

Hua Fengyu felt utterly confused.

However, the others present clearly had no intention of explaining it to him.

"What happened? Where did you two go?"

An Yi asked, curling his lip.

According to Gu Changfeng, Lin Chen had gone to meet him to provide support and facilitate their withdrawal from the Heavenly Palace.

But An Yi hadn't seen hide nor hair of him!

Instead, Lin Chen and Mo Jiu had returned, both covered in wounds.

"We went to the Heavenly Palace dungeon!" Lin Chen said seriously.

Shangguan Qianqian, thinking of something, pressed, "Did you see Xing Yunjun?"

"He has already escaped. His strength is terrifying. Mo Jiu and I joined forces were no match for him."

Lin Chen showed a trace of gravity as he said solemnly, "What's more crucial is that man named Xing Yunhai! He is a Sky Tribulation stage martial artist. He has been hiding his strength all along. Both Xu Kang and that little monk from the marriage tournament are his subordinates."

"Xing Yunhai? Impossible!"

Hua Fengyu shook his head, disbelief written on his face.

This was simply preposterous, utterly absurd!

In the eyes of the Heavenly Palace, Xing Yunhai was nothing but a human-shaped breeding stud.

Spending all his time in brothels, either in the act or on his way to the act!

To say such a man was at the Sky Tribulation stage was more terrifying than a pig visiting a brothel.

An Yi's expression darkened.

He knew very well that Lin Chen wasn't lying.

Because, fellow countrymen don't deceive fellow countrymen!

That Xing Yunhai really was problematic.

Thinking this, An Yi vaguely wondered if that night, when he had sliced him bald with one sword stroke, it had somehow made him stronger!

Ahem, that probably wasn't possible.
