Chapter 2222: Young Prince of the Holy Gate?! (1/2)
Very quickly, the experts of the Incineration Valley managed to locate Chen Ye and the others. They managed to follow the aura all the way to the depths of the forest.
More than twenty days later, the experts of the Incineration Valley arrived at a certain spot in the Devouring Icy Forest.
“Grand Hall Master, this seems to be the place Grand Elder Chen Ye’s aura disappeared!” Another grand elder of the Incineration Valley reported to Wang Chunming.
A fiery light emerged from Wang Chunming’s eyes as he nodded his head. This fiery glow illuminated the space a billion miles around the battle scene, and nothing was able to hide from his gaze.
Wang Chunming’s body flashed all of a sudden as he tore through the air to head towards the location of Huang Xiaolong’s battle with Chen Ye.
When everyone saw how Wang Chunming had already moved out, they hastily followed behind him.
Tens of minutes later, they finally arrived at the battlefield.
“It seems as though Grand Elder Chen Ye was killed by his opponent here!” One of the grand elders saw the traces of battle, and he concluded.
Looking at the broken mountain peaks and shattered rocks in the area, it was evident that a massive battle had happened.
Even though Huang Xiaolong had ordered for the six divine beasts to take care of Chen Ye’s body along with the traces of battle, it was clear that they had failed to cover up the scene completely.
Wang Chunming swept his gaze across the lands as two rays of light emerged from his eyes.
Clang!
Clang!
Sounds of metal clashing against each other rang through the air.
The experts from the Incineration Valley soon noticed traces of supreme sword qi rising into the air.
The sword qi was left behind when Huang Xiaolong had executed the Final Boundless Sword Art, and it wasn’t something ordinary experts could notice.
“This… What kind of sword qi is this?! It’s terrifying!” One of the grand elders in the Fifth Order Sovereign Realm cried out in shock.
Someone like him was obviously able to feel the horrifying amount of power contained in a single trace of sword qi.
Everyone else stared at Wang Chunming in shock.
As for Wang Chunming, he seemed to have thought of something when he noticed the sword qi. An expression of fear soon emerged on his face.
“Final Boundless Sword Art!”
“What?!” The experts of the Incineration Valley yelled in shock. Their expressions changed from one of shock to one of terror.
As the upper echelons of the Incineration Valley, they were extremely clear what the appearance of the Final Boundless Sword Art meant.
“Did… Did an expert from the Holy Gate kill Chen Ye and the rest?” An elder stuttered when he asked the question.
Holy Gate!
In the Zhuoyuan Holy Lands, the Zhuoyuan Holy Gate was an existence that stood above everything else! Dozens of continents, hundreds of dynasties, and close to a thousand supreme sects were nothing but mere vassals of the Zhuoyuan Holy Gate!
Even the Incineration Valley wasn’t able to go up against the Holy Gate!
Even the most ordinary disciple from the Holy Gate had to be treated like royalty by the Incineration Valley! To the Holy Gate, the Incineration Valley was a mere existence that could be overlooked!
If an expert from the Holy Gate really killed Chen Ye and the rest, how were they going to continue their investigation? Were they supposed to apprehend someone from the Holy Gate?! That was like a commoner on the streets knocking on the doors of the imperial palace to capture someone from the imperial family! If the Holy Gate learned of the things that were happening in the Falling Jade Dynasty, a big fat death sentence would befall the Incineration Valley!
There was once a supreme sect whose scale even exceeded the Incineration Valley. They had killed a disciple from the Holy Gate by accident. When the Holy Gate had learned of the matter, they had stomped the sect to the ground right away. From the top-down, hundreds of Sovereigns, tens of millions of disciples, and several Venerables were wiped off the face of existence.
