Chapter 79 79: Father Is Here...

The Celestial Palace Master landed inside the Sacred Hall which was painted red in blood.

Many of the walls had cracks. Some were completely broken. Seeing the sight, the Celestial Palace Master was taken aback.

His aura uncontrollably flared, making all the Elders tremble. All the Elders that were supposed to protect the Sacred Hall went down on their knees in fear.

However, the Palace Maste didn't have time to think about them. He rushed out, going to the core region of the Sacred Hall, where the core of the mist formation was supposed to be protected.

However, as soon as he reached his destination, he was taken aback. The protective door was completely broken, and buried under the rubble.

He also noticed the Great Elder who was supposed to protect the place. The Great Elder's body was cleanly cut in two halves, making it evident that the enemy was too powerful for him.

He also noticed the hand of the Great Elder lying in the distance. The battle looked horrible. However, since he hadn't sensed that battle before, it made him understand that a great power was behind that attack.

He entered the central region of the Sacred Hall, clenching his fist tightly.

The core of the formation was completely broken. Moreover, all the pieces of the formation were stolen, leaving nothing but a deep crater on the ground where the core of the formation used to be.

The Palace Master's aura flared even more. This wasn't just an attack on his son. Instead, this was an attack on the entire Celestial Palace.

It was also clear that whoever attacked then had used their own people to get that additional advantage. It wasn't the work of one person.

The Palace Master flew high in the sky, covering the entire Celestial Island in his spiritual sense to find the true culprit. Unfortunately, he couldn't find a single person.

It was clear that the person who did it had already escaped. Moreover, not a single trace of that person was left behind either.

However, the Palace Master did sense something surprising. He noticed three slightly torn flags that were surrounded by a ghastly aura. All three flags were placed in three different corners of the Celestial Island.

Looking at those flags, the Palace Master seemingly understood everything! It was clear that the attack was by the Qin Dynasty, who was concerned about a war. So they made the first strike to weaken them!

Moreover, the Palace Master didn't find it suspicious that the three flags were left behind. In his mind, it was because the enemies didn't have time to recover the flags before his arrival. As soon as they succeeded in destroying the mist Formation, they escaped.

The Palace Master appeared before each of the flags one by one, pulling that out of the ground. His face appeared to be filled with rage, as if he wanted to destroy everyone and everything.

Since the Qin Dynasty used the flags and schemed so thoroughly, it also made him believe that they tried to frame Xu Shan again.

The reason a Disciple managed to kidnap his daughter was because they were under the control of the flags of the Qin Dynasty. Moreover, the reason that person was often seen near the guest house that Xu Shan was staying in was to frame him and create a conflict between the Eternal Dynasty and the Celestial Palace.

If Xu Shan knew that the Palace Master was already justifying all his actions in his mind, he would've been quite pleased. Everything was going the way he wanted.

The war was pushed forward. Now even if Yu Fei found out the truth after three weeks, she couldn't do anything! The war was going to end by then!

Xu Shan was still standing, protected by the barrier of the Celestial Palace Master, while all the other Elders and disciples captured the ones who had lost their minds because of the Ghostly Flags.

In the meantime, Xu Shan picked up the storage ring which still contained the evidence of him killing a Celestial Palace disciple. However, no one was going to dare to ask him to show that ring now.

Xu Shan wore the storage ring around his finger, while glancing at the lifeless body of Yu Ming.

There was no book in the ring of the man. Moreover, even as he killed Yu Ming, he didn't receive any negative karma, which made him slightly surprised. He hadn't recovered the so-called second fragment either.

'Is it with the Great Elder who was with Yu Ming when the two first appeared? But he seems too old to be a child of destiny. Then what went wrong? What am I missing?'

Xu Shan played with the ring, ignoring the chaos around him. He didn't celebrate that his plan had succeeded. Instead, he had even more things to think about now.

He had to make sure that the Qin Dynasty was destroyed in three weeks. However, he couldn't stay here to watch the war either. He had to leave to retrieve the Celestial Lotus to awaken his second Celestial Spirit.

Unfortunately, he didn't want to leave. Qin Ye wasn't a person to fall easily, especially since he could see the future as it changed.

If possible, he wanted to be present for the entire duration of the coming war to take care of any mishaps.

"It would've been much better if I could be at both places together. But that's not it... Do I really have no choice but to believe that these old ones won't screw up even if I've prepared everything for them already..."

After the two Heavenly Celestials failed last time in capturing Qin Ye, he had lost quite a bit of faith in them. So he wasn't that confident anymore.

He scratched the back of his head, letting out a sigh. "I guess I'll have to make more preparations so they don't screw up, before leaving."

While Xu Shan was thinking to himself, the Celestial Palace Master returned, holding three ghostly flags in his hands. His gaze landed on his lifeless son. However, as he was about to move, he stopped.

He looked up, sensing a scary and frightening aura, as a void opened above their head.

"Father is here..." Xu Shan raised his head as well.
