Chapter 1044 Unkown Domain Lord

Chapter 1044 Unkown Domain Lord

Hearing the voice coming from behind the throne followed by an unfamiliar person suddenly walking out from behind the king, both Hong Xuan and Sheng Mei tensed up. Even going as far as to grab their weapons after feeling the dense killing intent that now permeated the entire throne room.

Although they were still inside the throne room where such a thing was not permitted under normal circumstances, there was no way any of them cared about this with the sudden turn of events. Especially Hong Xuan who was closest to the throne and felt the most threatened by the sudden appearance of someone he had never seen before behind the king.

Not only that, but the sudden appearance of this person also made both of them understand that whatever had happened to the king that and caused him to enter his current emotionless state where he was barely moving his head around to look at them from his throne should be related to this person.

"You, what do you mean by that and what did you do to his majesty!?" Being the first to start talking as he noticed the unknown man slowly walking towards him, Hong Xuan unconsciously began taking a few steps back to keep the distance between them.

"Hehe, I didn't do much to him, he did this to himself- No... I think it would be better to say that he was encouraged by his ancestors to do this, and I mean what I said earlier, you are truly stupid. Didn't you notice that you entered my formation already?

The reason why I said your friend over there was at least a little smarter than you, is because she at least noticed the formation and didn't mindlessly step inside of it like you did."

"Huh!?"

Hearing what the unknown man said as he was chuckling to himself, Hong Xuan felt a shiver run down his spine before he slowly began to use his divine sense to scan his surroundings... And sure enough, he quickly noticed the formation markings covering the floor and pillars surrounding the throne. All of them stopped just a few meters in front of Sheng Mei who was standing behind him.

This is bad!

Thinking this to himself, Hong Xuan didn't bother trying to fight the unknown man as he directly turned around and tried to escape the throne room. Understanding very well that he had walked directly into a trap and would likely not be able to win against the other party. Not only that, but he would likely not be able to escape if the formation had time to activate and trap him inside.

Whoosh-!

However, it was too late to think about this now, as the formation activated just before he could leave-

Bang!

Causing him to crash headfirst into the transparent barrier that now separated him from the outside world.

"Wha-"

The Flame Sky Kingdom could essentially be considered to be located at the edge of the territory that the Star Shattering Sect had planned to expand into. Even with her current strength at the Eighth Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, it would at least take her half a week to reach the Star Shattering Sect.

Even if someone in the Domain Lord Realm could fly and would be far faster than her, it should at least take a few hours before someone from the Star Shattering Sect appeared... And given that the person chasing after her was someone in the Domain Lord Realm, her chances of evading capture during this period of time were close to none.

If she wanted to survive long enough for help to show up, she had rushing back out of the throne room before the unknown man in the Domain Lord Realm could catch her.

Whoosh~

to find another way to avoid the Domain Lord Realm Expert chasing after her. The only problem was... The senses of a Domain Lord Realm Expert were far sharper than someone in the Nascent Soul Realm. Making it close to impossible for her to hide unless she found a special way to hide her aura.

Hm!? Wait a second, can't this thing be used to hide my aura...

Suddenly thinking about something as she turned her attention to the small token she had been tightly holding in her hand since entering the throne room, Sheng Mei quickly contacted Elder Song and found out that she could indeed use the token to hide her aura from someone in the Domain Lord Realm for a few hours.

Whoosh~!

Not a second later, she injected some of her qi into the token. Instantly activating it before guiding the terrifying power stored inside of it to cover her body and seal it off from the outside world. Hiding her presence completely in the process.

"I hope this will be enough..." Muttering this to herself as she felt the terrifying power covering her entire body, isolating her aura completely, Sheng Mei didn't waste a second as she rushed out of the capital and into a large forest beside the capital to hide herself while waiting for help to show up.

Deciding to not try and escape too far away as it might end up causing flaws to appear in the cover formed by the token if she moved too fast and caused the power to run out faster as it repaired these flaws.

...

"To think a Domain Lord Realm Expert appeared in the Flame Sky Kingdom and got rid of the royal family before we had the chance... Haaa... Maybe it's the mysterious force behind that secret technique finally showing themselves?

Luckily for that Sheng Mei, the token created by Shu Yao should be able to keep her hidden for an hour or two."

Back in the Star Shattering Sect, Elder Song looked down at the communication talisman that Sheng Mei had just contacted him through filled with interest as he said this to himself.

"Now, who should I ask to go, Feng Chen or Shu Yao...?"
