NFBE Chapter 1745
Chapter 1745
In the blink of an eye, Chen Xuan had figured out the origins of these assassins and the subtle clues behind their command.
Having discovered the truth behind the scenes, Chen Xuan turned and left.
At the same time, the effect of freezing time has reached its limit.
The surrounding void returned to normal, and the twenty-nine Void Realm cultivators regained their freedom. They didn't even utter a single word of begging for mercy or confessing their crimes. Instead, they each unleashed their escape lights and fled frantically in all directions like stray dogs.
Chen Xuan looked at the scattered points of light, a cruel smile playing on his lips: "Was I too lenient? You think you can just leave without even an apology?"
With his current cultivation level, his divine sense can cover an area of more than 40,000 li with a single thought.
Although these assassins were all at the Void Reversal Realm, it was absolutely impossible for them to casually produce a Great Teleportation Talisman—such a treasure was not something even Celestial Immortals might keep readily available.
Without the Great Teleportation, how far can one escape using only ordinary escape techniques or Small Teleportation Talismans?
"Since you are here, just stay."
As Chen Xuan finished speaking, the Niwan Palace between his brows trembled slightly, and—whoosh!
A vast and boundless divine consciousness instantly spread out, covering the void within a radius of forty thousand miles.
Twenty-nine streaks of red and blood-red light surged wildly within the divine consciousness network. In desperation, some people crushed several small teleportation talismans in succession, attempting to escape by teleporting continuously.
However, for a cultivator of Chen Xuan's level, this brief moment of teleportation is merely a fleeting luxury.
"The lotus is in bloom."
Chen Xuan gave a soft shout, his mind stirring slightly.
Whoosh whoosh ——
The fleeing cultivators appeared scattered, but they never escaped the range of his divine sense. Within this domain of divine sense, unless there was a grand formation of immortal rank or higher capable of distorting space and time, it was Chen Xuan's absolute domain.
With just a thought, twenty-nine extremely beautiful water and fire lotus flowers bloomed out of thin air.
The lotus flower was engulfed by a ghostly blue flame on its outer layer and a torrent of silver water inside. The two were strong and gentle, yet both possessed the power to annihilate all things, precisely enveloping the twenty-nine cultivators at the Void Reversal Realm.
Chen Xuan's Water and Fire Dao Lotus is so powerful that even a Heavenly Immortal Realm expert might not be able to break it by self-destruction, let alone these mediocre Void Realm experts.
In the blink of an eye, the screams that had been rising and falling came to an abrupt halt.
Those cultivators who tried to beg for mercy or resist were all crushed into ashes by the constantly spinning and strangling water and fire lotuses.
Their personal magical artifacts, storage bags, and other items fell from the lotus flowers, drifting away into the distance like beads from a broken string.
With Chen Xuan's current wealth and resources, he wouldn't even look at these things.
If these people really had some trump cards up their sleeves, they would have used them long ago in that desperate situation.
Since there isn't one, it means that none of them have the foundation to even barely contend with a Celestial Immortal.
On the other side, Lin Yuqiong had just recovered from the shock and hadn't fully grasped the situation. He looked at the scattered points of light, first marveling at Chen Xuan's terrifyingly powerful strength, then feeling a pang of regret—it seemed these people had still managed to escape.
"It seems my brother-in-law's grasp of the Great Dao of Time isn't quite deep enough; otherwise, given that opportunity just now, he could have wiped out all the enemies in one fell swoop." Thinking this to himself, he felt a pang of regret, but also a sense of relief. He stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Are you alright?"
Chen Xuan shook his head slightly: "It's alright, let's go."
Lin Yuqiong nodded in agreement, then spurred the Holy Qilin chariot, transforming into a streak of light that pierced the sky and headed into the distance.
Only thirty clumps of scattered ashes and those ownerless magical artifacts remained, drifting slowly in the empty void before being swallowed by cosmic dust.
Having resolved this incident, Chen Xuan then transmitted the secrets he had gleaned from the old man's sea of consciousness to Lin Yuqiong.
Upon hearing those words, Lin Yuqiong's pupils constricted sharply, her face drained of color, and then a surge of rage rushed to her head, nearly causing the Qilin True Fire around her to go out of control: "How is this possible!"
"No need to get angry." Chen Xuan patted his shoulder, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable power. "Since we knew about this beforehand, we might as well turn the tables and lure out the real mastermind behind it all. I'd really like to see who has such power to so easily manipulate the five holy cities and set up a millennium-long scheme targeting Qilin City?"
Lin Yuqiong took a deep breath, suppressing the murderous intent surging in her heart, and gritted her teeth, saying, "I never thought... that a traitor would emerge from the core leadership of my Qilin City, colluding with the enemy from within! Good, very good!"
The last few words were practically squeezed out through clenched teeth.
