304 Could There Be Other Existences?
These days, Ye Xuan and Shen Changling had been recuperating at Qian Yuan’s place. After this incident, the demonic beasts treated the two even more courteously, especially the big demons, who wanted to worship the two.
Shen Changling was ready to leave. He said, “I’ve been away for so long. I wonder how the sect is doing. It’s time for me to return to Jingdu.”
It was strange that he had been trying to contact Mo Jianming these days, but there was no response. Could it be that his master was in seclusion?
Ye Xuan also had the intention to leave. He had wasted too much time here, not to mention that the strange heart was still a hidden danger in his body, so it was better to deal with it as soon as possible.
Regarding this matter, Qian Yuan was also temporarily at a loss. After all, he was a demonic beast, and there were no relevant memories of the heart in his inheritance when he became a true dragon. Thus, if Ye Xuan wanted to solve this problem, he could only go to Jingdu to take a look.
Shen Changling consoled him, “Elder Ye, don’t worry. Master is very knowledgeable. He might have a solution.”
Fortunately, the altar had been destroyed, and there was not much energy left in the heart, so it didn’t affect Ye Xuan much. Otherwise, it would be like a fish bone stuck in his throat, and he didn’t know what new situation it would cause.
What worried Ye Xuan more was that the previous secret realm and the altar behind it all came from a thousand years ago. Although they were all destroyed by him, who could guarantee that there were no other arrangements?
Through these incidents, he could sense that the person behind this was plotting something big. Ye Xuan had a faint premonition that what he had come into contact with now was only the tip of the iceberg.
There might be other places that have similar existences to that of the secret realm and the altar in some corners of the world. However, they were still dormant and had not revealed themselves to the world.
Ye Xuan told Qian Yuan his guess, and the atmosphere suddenly fell silent. Dealing with one was already difficult enough, and if there were so many, who knew what kind of trouble it would cause?
“You’re right. Even I was afraid of the power in the altar. If more of them really appear, it will be a big problem.”
Although demonic beasts didn’t like to get along with humans and didn’t like to participate in worldly matters, the mastermind behind the scenes had a scheme. It was likely that the demonic beasts wouldn’t be spared. This could be seen from the sacrificial altar this time.
If Qian Yuan and the other demonic beasts wanted to stay out of this, it was probably impossible. They had to make plans early.
Shen Changling touched his chin and asked, “What do you think these people want to do? Who are they?”
Ye Xuan recalled a memory of the past. At that time, his soul was sucked into an alternate dimension and crossed the long river of time. From there, he saw a huge crack in the sky.
Could it be that they came from another world?
“From the methods of these evil spirits, they are definitely not good people. If they really appear in the world, the world will be in chaos.”
Back then, the Penglai Immortal Beasts had been trapped by the curse, but they had not expected to be used by these people. More than half of their race had died in order to preserve their last chance of survival. Who would have thought that everything would be fake after enduring for a thousand years?
If Ye Xuan hadn’t come to their rescue in the end, the Penglai Immortal Beasts probably wouldn’t have known that this was a conspiracy until their death.
“I promised the Penglai Immortal Beasts that I would definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and seek justice for them.”
However, the Penglai Immortal Beasts had too little contact with the mastermind, so they didn’t get much information. Furthermore, the mastermind had excellent strategies. Whether it was the Penglai Immortal Beasts or the high priest, they had revealed very little information on the mastermind.
Ye Xuan didn’t know much about it, but at least they knew about its existence and were on guard against it, so it would be easier to deal with it in the future.
“A fox will always reveal its tail. If there’s no trouble in the future, then so be it. But if there really are other places like this, our strength alone is not enough.”
This time, Ye Xuan and Shen Changling were lucky to be able to destroy the altar. The process was extremely dangerous, and the slightest mistake could cost them their lives.
From this, it could be seen that if there were other similar places, they would be extremely deadly.
Shen Changling nodded and said, “Elder Ye is right. I will report this to Master and ask him to be careful. We can’t let this disaster appear.”
Ye Xuan turned to Qian Yuan and said, “There are many demonic beasts. I hope you all can help me keep an eye out. If there’s anything strange, please inform me immediately.”
Qian Yuan nodded, “Of course, we will do that.”
He could only hope that they were just worrying too much. If there were really a few more like the altar that was going to appear, it would really be troublesome.
Seeing that the atmosphere had become heavy again, Shen Changling said cheerfully, “We might as well look on the bright side. These are not things that can be done overnight. To set them up, a lot of manpower and resources must have been spent a thousand years ago. At most, there will be a few, not a lot.”
What he said made some sense. No matter how strong the opponent was, their abilities were limited. Even if there were similar places, there wouldn’t be too many. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be too heaven-defying?
Ye Xuan pondered for a moment before he said, “In fact, if we want to figure it out, the key is what happened a thousand years ago. Otherwise, we’re no different from headless chickens running around without any clues.”
It was a pity that there were very few records of what happened a thousand years ago as if there was a gap in memory. There were very few relevant books and records as if that period of history had been erased.
Whether it didn’t exist or someone didn’t want it to exist, there was more to this than meets the eye.
“Anything that is left in the world will have traces. If we search carefully, we will find it.”
Moreover, Jingdu was well-informed and had many ancient books. The Sword Sect had been established for a long time and had collected some books with a long history. They might be able to find some clues.
Even though the altar had been completely destroyed this time, no one could relax. Who could guarantee that the power behind it would not rise again?
