Chapter 3028: The Overarching Heaven Plane (1/2)
Shui Yunlan began to form seals with her hands, and her lips moved rapidly in silence as if she was chanting something.
Even the energy in her body began to flow according to a special method.
Opening the gateway seemed to be an extremely complicated process that required the hand seals, the chanting, and a certain method of circulating energy. It was as if all three were necessary to create a key to the miniature world.
At the very least, that was the impression Jian Chen received with Shui Yunlan’s actions.
Several seconds later, Shui Yunlan suddenly erupted with an intense glow. The light immediately swallowed Jian Chen.
The light was extremely transient, gone after a single moment. However, when it vanished, Shui Yunlan and Jian Chen vanished too.
The spacious Ice Goddess Hall immediately fell silent.
However, the silence only lasted for five seconds before being broken again. Figures suddenly flickered through the empty space. Some of them had already arrived.
The three relatively familiar figures were the Icecloud Founding Ancestor of the Snow sect, ancestor Qi Feng of the Chillwind sect, and ancestor Lan of the Heavenly Crane clan.
Apart from the three of them, there were five other experts who had never shown themselves in the Snow sect.
They all happened to be mid Grand Primes without any exceptions, above the Fourth Heavenly Layer in other words.
They were all the strongest ancestors of some peak organisation on the Ice Pole Plane. It was exactly because of their existence that their respective organisations could rank within the top ten on the plane.
As soon as the Icecloud Founding Ancestor appeared, she extended her slender hand, and the power of ways flowed through it, wiping the space there gently. She wiped away all the traces and presences lingering in the space there, clearly covering up for Shui Yunlan one last time.
“No one is allowed to search this place, or it’s disrespect to the Snow Goddess as well as treachery to the Ice Goddess Hall!” the Icecloud Founding Ancestor said coldly. Her gaze scanned past the ancestors of the five organisations slowly.
“That’s right. Anyone who tries to search here is harbouring ill intentions!”
“We’ve come to ensure that Shui Yunlan leaves here safely, just in case any accidents happen.”
……
The ancestors of the five organisations all stated their intentions. It was completely impossible to tell whether they were sincere or putting on an act.
“Though, I am curious about why He Qianchi of the Heavenly Crane clan can see the Snow Goddess with Shui Yunlan.” Ancestor Qi Feng’s eyes shone with a strange light as he stared straight at ancestor Lan. He asked, “I wonder if ancestor Lan could dispel our doubts? Who exactly is the person disguised as He Qianchi of your Heavenly Crane clan?”
“And just a few days ago, when we gathered outside the Snow sect, Shui Yunlan originally planned on reuniting with her dear sister that she had not seen in many years, yet she suddenly changed her mind at that moment. Looking at it now, it’s all because of He Qianchi, isn’t it? This He Qianchi isn’t the same He Qianchi as the one from your Heavenly Crane clan either, but an outsider in disguise. Ancestor Lan, am I correct?”
Ancestor Qi Feng spoke calmly and gently, like a benevolent old man who only wanted to know the truth. However, extremely deep killing intent was hidden away in his heart.
His plan was just about to succeed, only for Shui Yunlan to abruptly change her mind. Even back then, ancestor Qi Feng had already sensed that something was amiss. Looking at it now, all of that had happened because of this “He Qianchi”.
Ancestor Lan glanced at ancestor Qi Feng deeply and said with her wonderful voice, “Ancestor Qi Feng, don’t you feel that there are a little too many matters you’re trying to stick your nose into? Shui Yunlan can be described as the Snow Goddess’s only representative now. The likes of us cannot easily judge anything she does.”
“Hahaha, naturally, naturally. I’m not judging anything. I’m only a little curious.” Ancestor Qi Feng laughed it off. Shui Yunlan was far too sensitive of a topic to talk about right now, so there were a few conversation topics that he could not discuss too much about.
The two ancestors watching over the Chillwind sect sat in the forbidden grounds. Extremely profound glyphs hovered around them.
They were solemn, rapidly producing hand seals and using secret techniques as if they were trying to find something with the formation’s assistance.
This process lasted for fifteen minutes. The glyphs hovering around them gradually dimmed, and the two ancestors slowly opened their eyes. They were both disappointed.
“Sigh, the Snow Goddess’s hiding spot is truly well-hidden. It can evade all of our searching methods. We’ve completely lost contact with all of the imprints we’ve left in the resources.”
“That’s to be expected. Though, it is fortunate that the imprints we left are extremely well-hidden and will automatically disperse as time goes on. We don’t have to worry about being exposed.”
