Primordial Divine Emperor-Chapter 157 - 110: Ning Xianyi’s Elder Sister, Everyone’s Disappointment (Part 3)
Ye Xiaofan and the others listened to the words coming from the sect brothers next door, looking at each other in surprise, unable to resist glancing toward that cold and frosty figure. To their astonishment, the first piece of news after entering the ’Hundred Sects Battle Domain’ came from the mouth of another sect’s brother. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Thinking this, everyone could only shake their heads helplessly.
At this moment, that frosty figure had already taken the lead in boarding an ark.
Behind the celestial curtain, countless such arks were docked in dense formations, stretching endlessly to the horizon.
It was evident that the ’Hundred Sects Battle Domain’ was vast and boundless; to reach their own ’Battle Domain,’ they also needed to rely on the ark for travel.
However, these arks were obviously not as grand as those from the Divine Sword Sect that went to Star Moon City to bring back the newly chosen geniuses. The aura they exuded was substantially weaker, not even on the same level as those flying magical artifacts.
Most of these flying arks were likely constructed by the sect brothers and sisters themselves entering the ’Hundred Sects Battle Domain.’ After all, things that exceed a certain limit cannot be brought in, and most people who just entered the ’Hundred Sects Battle Domain’ do not have the capabilities to possess an ark.
The ark that Ye Xiaofan and his group were on wasn’t very large, just big enough to accommodate over a thousand people.
After everyone boarded the ark.
Before long, the whole ark rose from the ground, carrying everyone and flying towards a certain direction.
At the same time, countless arks took off, rushing forward in different directions.
The direction in which Ye Xiaofan and his group were flying was not exclusive to the Divine Sword Sect’s ark, clearly indicating that the so-called ’Battle Domain’ was not just composed of the Divine Sword Sect’s disciples, but rather, it was formed by countless sect’s chosen ones and geniuses.
Time passed slowly.
In the blink of an eye, half a month had gone by.
Countless arks flew for half a month, yet still had not reached their destination.
On this journey, Ye Xiaofan and the others saw nothing but desolation and devastation in their path. The spiritual qi was severely lacking, with hardly any vegetation, occasionally even spotting remnants of ancient battles, such as staggering sword scars, cracked earth, and collapsed mountains, resembling a vivid ancient battlefield.
Until this day.
Finally.
An ancient border city gradually appeared at the edge of the horizon, lying across their path.
The border city’s aura was imposing, filled with endless desolation, exuding the breath of ancient times. Yet, it was now mostly rubble and ruins, less than one-tenth intact, still majestic like a prone dragon with no end in sight, seemingly narrating its former glory.
Countless arks flew here, evidently slowing down as they began heading towards the relatively intact parts of the city.
Above a severely dilapidated city, several figures were already waiting there, and they became visibly excited when they saw the Divine Sword Sect’s ark appear.
Before long.
The Divine Sword Sect’s ark slowly landed near the figures in the city.
The frosty senior sister didn’t wait for the ark to come to a complete stop before flying out towards those figures.
"Sister Qi, how is it?" The leading young man, full of inquiry, couldn’t help but step forward and ask as soon as the frosty senior sister landed.
This young man’s aura was terrifying beyond measure, constantly emanating a shocking presence, evidently the most formidable among the group.
Facing the terrifying young man’s inquiry, the frosty senior sister was full of disappointment, gently shaking her head before handing over the parchment list to the terrifying young man.
The others saw the look of disappointment on the frosty senior sister’s face, and their hearts sank.
The young man quickly glanced at the information on the parchment list, furrowing his brow, full of disbelief.
"How can this be?"
"Did the remaining elder not receive our plea? This place is already on the brink, and what we urgently need is a demon fiend from Array Peak to assist, best from the Thirty-Six Holy Peaks’ Array Dao demon fiend, yet...?"
After the leading youth finished speaking, he looked at the frosty senior sister with utter disappointment, his expression extremely grim: "How come it’s a Sword Peak disciple? And merely from the Seventeenth Small Peak?"
"A Sword Peak disciple? Not an Array Master?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the several figures quickly seized the parchment list, each looking disappointed.
Among them.
Two other figures silently gazed at the first name on the parchment list, along with its brief description—successor of South Peak, Ye Xiaofan, master of the Seventeenth Small Peak, in the sect for two years and five months!
"Successor of South Peak, Ye Xiaofan?"
One of the figures was momentarily dazed upon seeing the name and brief description, then turned to look at the other figure.
"Sister Ning, isn’t this the young man betrothed to your sister? How did it end up being him?"
The figure addressed as Sister Ning also frowned slightly.
A year ago, she met a disciple from the previous batch who entered the ’Hundred Sects Battle Domain’—Ning Xianyi had entrusted that disciple to pass along a letter from home to her.
Regrettably, due to some personal reasons of that person, the other half of the letter was lost.
However, the unlost half of the letter did mention the young man her sister Ning Xianyi was once betrothed to.
All she knows now is that her sister has annulled the engagement, and that young man has become the Sword Saint’s successor, but nothing else.
Before Ning Xianyi’s sister could speak, that figure murmured in greater disappointment.
"A Sword Saint successor, could he also be an Array Master?"
"But I remember the letter from your sister Xianyi didn’t mention him as an Array Master?"
