CHAPTER 2020: CHAPTER 2020: THREE FROM THE HEAVENLY REALM

Arriving at this place, the Great City Lord’s expression also became solemn.

He stared intently at the small palace in front of him, as if pondering something, yet also wary of something.

"What’s wrong?" Su Yang asked in surprise.

"Someone is watching us from inside..." the Great City Lord replied.

Su Yang glanced at the Second City Lord and Third City Lord beside him, both of whom appeared equally grave. It seemed, upon reaching here, they became more aware of the situation of being watched, thus more vigilant.

Su Yang was utterly shocked; the person watching them three was inside this small palace. How could this be possible?

It should be known that this small palace is suppressed by that broken Tai Chi Diagram.

Although Su Yang wasn’t sure exactly how powerful this broken Tai Chi Diagram was, Wei Qing had previously mentioned that the power of this Tai Chi Diagram is extremely formidable, even greater than Taiqing Saint’s Tai Chi Diagram.

Taiqing Saint’s Tai Chi Diagram is one of the most powerful magic artifacts in the Nine Realms. If this Tai Chi Diagram is more powerful than Taiqing Saint’s Tai Chi Diagram, then suppressing such a small palace is entirely overkill.

Yet, under this circumstance, there was actually a living person inside the small palace watching the Great City Lord and the others; how could Su Yang not be stunned?

To be alive, even able to observe outside while being suppressed by such a powerful magic artifact, requires an extraordinarily strong character!

Now Su Yang finally understood why they needed such a strong magic artifact to suppress such a small palace, simply because the figure inside was excessively formidable.

Upon further consideration, as Su Yang traveled, he encountered many similar small palaces, roughly over a hundred. Each carried a powerful magic artifact suppressing it, not inferior to this Tai Chi Diagram.

This implies that inside each of these hundred small palaces, there is at least one existence that can withstand such a powerful magic artifact.

Every artifact has the capability to sweep the Nine Realms’ any powerful artifact. Meaning the person inside each small palace is also a force capable of sweeping the Nine Realms.

At this moment, Su Yang’s heart was shocked to the extreme; Feather Spirit Palace had grown so strong?

This was without entering the main hall, just one of the hundred small palaces on the outside could crush the Nine Realms. Then the people in the main hall, what terrifying existence could they be?

While Su Yang was shocked, the three crystal skulls were cautiously observing the small palace. Their eyes held vigilance and confusion, evidently guarding against something yet contemplating something, almost as if reminiscing past affairs.

Observing the expressions of the three crystal skulls, Su Yang’s heart was stirred again. These three crystal skulls retained memories of these small palaces? What’s going on here? Could it be these three crystal skulls had been here before?

If that were the case, it further proves there indeed is some connection between the World Melting Furnace and Feather Spirit Palace. But what sort of connection is it?

Regarding the three crystal skulls, Su Yang began to calculate; investigating this matter probably needs to start with these three individuals!

"Do you feel anything?" Su Yang asked, "Any familiar sensations?"

The three crystal skulls exchanged glances, their eyes filled with bewilderment; clearly, they did not recall past events.

Su Yang glanced at the small palace, contemplating whether he should simply go inside and have a look.

While Su Yang was pondering, a commotion suddenly occurred in the distance. Su Yang looked up to see three people quickly approaching, precisely those whom Wei Qing had sent earlier to seize the Tai Chi Diagram from the small palace.

Su Yang frowned slightly; wasn’t the recent melee supposed to affect this place? These three people were still wandering outside, what was going on?

However, Su Yang decided not to think too much on it now. The three were not very powerful and had just happened to be isolated; this was the perfect opportunity, how could Su Yang let them leave?

"Hey, you three, over here!" Su Yang quickly called out to the three: "Ah, we’ve finally found you. Wei Qing and I have been searching separately around here for half a day, where have you been?"

Su Yang worried that the three might fear approaching due to the group size, so he coaxed them first, drawing them closer for engagement.

Previously, they acted together; if the previous battle didn’t reach here, these three probably didn’t know what transpired at the main hall.

Su Yang himself was unsure what the situation at the main hall was. To him, the ideal scenario would be the Land of Extreme Cold and Land of Red Flame assisting the Heavenly Realm in eliminating Feather Realm.

Subsequently, the people from the Land of Extreme Cold and Land of Red Flame eliminate those from Heavenly Realm. Concurrently, heavy casualties are inflicted upon both the Land of Extreme Cold and Land of Red Flame, thus removing any threats from the Four Realms.

Of course, this was merely a wishful thinking within Su Yang’s heart; the real situation was unknown to him.

Nonetheless, since the three were isolated, Su Yang wouldn’t let them off the hook. Initially, Su Yang’s strategy entailed gradually dividing these individuals and then systematically defeating them.

These three ran directly towards Su Yang’s side, which eased his worries. After all, they were quite distant; had they fled, it wouldn’t be easy for Su Yang and his group to obstruct them.

"Everyone be careful, when they approach, kill them immediately!" Su Yang whispered.

The nearby crowd nodded, knowing full well what to do with these Heavenly Realm individuals.

Soon, the three arrived at Su Yang’s location.

At this moment, Su Yang noted the odd expressions on these three. Or rather, they showed no expression, resembling three zombies, rushing forward blindly. Furthermore, their eyes were bright red, almost bleeding, extremely eerie.

Su Yang was baffled by the condition of these three, but intuition told him something was amiss.

Thus, he said nothing further, simply focusing on observing these three and discerning their true state.

As the three charged at them, Su Yang’s group quickly surrounded them, enclosing them in the center.

"You..." Su Yang was just about to speak when the three suddenly lunged forward, fiercely attacking them.
