Chapter 2068: Changes of the Divine Palace (2/2)
This was because their Yun family did not dare to offend the fifth prince of the Sky Empire at all. There was no need for them to fear this much if their Yun family was distant from the Sky Empire, but they just happened to be located in the empire.
“Bai Qi and the others still haven’t returned. They shouldn’t have taken so long,” the fifth prince said softly as he sat on the ground. However, he stared at the moon in the sky without blinking at all. He was stern.
The reappearance of the Neptunean Moon meant that something big was about to happen to the Neptunean Divine Palace. However, no matter what the change was, even the ancestral emperors of the Sky Empire had no idea, which made the fifth prince feel danger. He wanted to gather his own forces as soon as possible.
This was because a few of the Godkings he had originally brought in had died from all the battles in the past few days, making his forces weaken slightly.
“Please do not worry, your highness. We’ve already left where we were before, so it’ll naturally take Bai Qi and the others some time for them to catch up. The Neptunean Divine Palace is not peaceful either. Bai Qi and the others have probably been delayed by some matter seeing how they still haven’t returned. However, not many people can threaten the two siblings on the ninth floor anymore given their strength. There’s no need to worry, your highness,” mister Shu said calmly from beside the fifth prince. However, his eyes shone brightly as he stared at the horizon, at the moon in the sky. Mister Shu seemed scholarly and harmless, but he was extremely powerful.
The fifth prince glanced at Yun Xin, who was cultivating with her eyes closed nearby. He said slowly, “I’m not worried about anything happening to Bai Qi and them. I’m concerned with whether they’ve completed my mission or not.”
Close to the fifth prince, a small, thin Godking snickered and said to the fifth prince politely through a secret message, “There’s no need to worry at all, your highness. It'll be effortless for the siblings to kill Jian Chen and the others with their strength. Nothing will go wrong. The four of them should be dead already, and the siblings should return very soon.”
The fifth prince nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, “Let’s heal up as quickly as possible. Who knows what will happen next with the Neptunean Moon’s appearance. We have to face it at our peak condition.”
At this moment, a Godking that the fifth prince had sent out to investigate certain matters returned. He said politely, “Your highness, a major matter has happened recently. Someone entered the Divine Medicinal Garden with a formation-destroying treasure and cleaned out a quarter of the whole place in a short amount of time.”
“What? A quarter of all the heavenly resources in the garden have been dug away? Is that true?” The fifth prince’s face changed, and he suddenly stood up. He knew about the Divine Medicinal Garden. Only God Tier heavenly resources were planted there, and every single one of them was invaluable. However, powerful formations protected them all, so getting through the formations to harvest them was extremely difficult.
Even with the current force he possessed, it would not be guaranteed that he would be able to harvest a single heavenly resource within the ten years the Neptunean Divine Palace would remain open. As a result, he did not attempt to collect the heavenly resources there even though he had gone to the garden before and desired the God Tier heavenly resources dearly.
There would never be more than ten heavenly resources dug up each time the Neptunean Divine Palace was opened throughout history, yet he had just heard that someone had dug up a quarter of everything there. It was just too shocking to accept.
“A quarter of the Divine Medicinal Garden. That’s over two hundred God Tier heavenly resources. Even the imperial vault of our Sky Empire does not necessarily have such a terrifying number of God Tier heavenly resources,” mister Shu gasped in shock as well.
The reporting Godking’s expression became rather strange. He continued, “It’s completely true. I’ve also heard that the people who took the heavenly resources away include Jian Chen’s group.”
