Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 1244 - 1230: Return to Southern State

"An earth-shattering change has occurred in the extreme south!"

Zheng Ansheng’s face was extremely grave, as if recalling that day when the phenomenon shook the entire world.

Even though much time had passed.

When he thinks back to that scene now, he still feels a chill.

His voice slightly trembled as he spoke, even though he was a powerful Human Venerate Realm expert: "That day, I was instructing disciples in their cultivation, when suddenly, the Qingtian Realm was shaken. Mountains crumbled, seas roared, and a blood moon hung in the sky, like the end of the world. Following that, a terrifying blood cloud rose from the extreme south, forming an enormous blood-red hand that suddenly descended, reducing millions of lives to ashes..."

As Zheng Ansheng recounted the story,

Xiao Yi and Fang Tianchi glanced at each other, both feeling the horror of the situation.

Zheng Ansheng took a deep breath and continued, "That colossal hand, with one strike, caused the sea level of the Qingtian Realm to drop by two or three meters..."

Gasp!

Xiao Yi and Fang Tianchi drew in a sharp breath.

They were well aware of how vast the Qingtian Realm was.

With nearly three-fifths of the Qingtian Realm covered by ocean, for that giant hand to lower the sea level by two or three meters with a single slap demonstrated an unimaginable power!

At least...

Fang Tianchi admitted he couldn’t achieve that.

As for Xiao Yi...

He simulated and deduced that, if he exerted all his strength, he could cause such terrifying destruction.

However...

This would require him to unleash his Blood Explosion Skill at full strength and then strike with all his might.

"After that colossal hand disappeared, a blood hand appeared simultaneously above the six major sacred lands. It seemed intent on smashing them all together, but fortunately, the ancestors intervened to shatter the giant hand and save our Tongtian Sword Pavilion. The other sacred lands also had strong individuals who intervened, but their strength was not on par with the ancestors and they suffered devastating blows..."

There was a hint of pride in Zheng Ansheng’s expression as he continued, "For example, half of the Purple Dragon Mountain Range, home to the Purple Dragon Hall, was destroyed..."

Xiao Yi’s expression darkened slightly.

The Purple Dragon Hall, which stood on par with the Tongtian Sword Pavilion as a Zhongzhou Sacred Land, surely didn’t lack in resources or strength.

Yet even something as powerful as the Purple Dragon Hall had half of its mountain gate destroyed by that blood-red hand.

What about the Nantian Sacred Land?

And the Western State Buddhist Sect?

And Baiyu?

What had become of those three sacred lands?

Xiao Yi stared at Zheng Ansheng, asking solemnly, "Has Tongtian and the others gone to the extreme south now?"

"Yes!"

Zheng Ansheng nodded, "After that day, the ancestors and the leaders of the major sacred lands agreed to head to the extreme south to investigate the blood hand’s origins. From the little information Elder Tongtian revealed before leaving, it seems a great terror is about to be born in the extreme south..."

Xiao Yi looked at Fang Tianchi.

At this moment, Fang Tianchi had just put away an ancient golden tortoise shell and a few ancient copper coins.

Meeting Xiao Yi’s questioning gaze, Fang Tianchi shook his head slightly and said in a low voice, "It seems an infinite power is shrouding the secrets, making them impossible to discern..."

The secrets were obscured.

Even with Fang Tianchi’s strength, he couldn’t predict anything?

To accomplish this...

Either the opponent’s power far exceeded Fang Tianchi’s, or the matter involved the fundamental Dao of the Qingtian Realm.

If it were the former, there would still be a way to deal with it.

But if it were the latter...

That would be the great trend of heaven and earth.

Beyond human reversal!

"Regardless, let’s head back to the Southern State first, settle our people, and then explore the extreme south to find out what’s happening!"

Xiao Yi rubbed his brow, feeling a headache coming on.

In front, the Xuan Realm Martial Clan watched like a tiger eyeing its prey, with less than a year remaining.

Behind, the earth-shattering change in the extreme south threatened to sweep over the entire Qingtian Realm.

Truly it was a case of the wolf ahead and the tiger behind.

Every step was fraught with danger.

"Lord Xiao, before Elder Tongtian left, he predicted you would return and left something for you!" Zheng Ansheng seemed to remember something, and respectfully handed a jade box to Xiao Yi from his bosom.

Xiao Yi was taken aback, thanked Zheng Ansheng, and then accepted the jade box.

Just as he was about to open it,

Zheng Ansheng said, "Elder Tongtian instructed that you should leave the Tongtian Sword Pavilion before opening it! Also, once you’ve left, I will seal the Tongtian Sword Pavilion until the Elder returns..."

The Tongtian Sword Pavilion had remained open just to await his return.

This thought suddenly occurred to Xiao Yi, which made him even more curious about the contents of the jade box, so he nodded and said, "In that case, we won’t disturb you further!"

"Take care!"

Zheng Ansheng nodded, watching as Xiao Yi and his companion departed.

Then he crushed the Jade Pendant in his hand.

Buzz!

A light shield enveloped the entire Tongtian Sword Pavilion.

The Tongtian Sword Pavilion, ruler of the Zhongzhou, vanished completely from the lands of Zhongzhou.

In the void.

Fang Tianchi looked at the jade box in Xiao Yi’s hand, puzzled, "What did Elder Tongtian leave for you?"

Xiao Yi shook his head, not in a hurry to open it.

Seeing this, Fang Tianchi said, "I’ll go gather Fang Tianmiao and the others. We’ll head straight for the Southern State later!"

"Alright!"

Xiao Yi nodded.

After Fang Tianchi left, Xiao Yi opened the jade box.

Inside the jade box,

A black light flashed by, revealing another jade box.

But...

This jade box was jet-black.

"Hmm?"

Xiao Yi’s pupils contracted.

This jade box seemed familiar.

No...

It was exactly the same as the black jade box he previously acquired from the Lu Family.

In a flip of his hand,

The jade box fell into his palm.

The two jade boxes were almost identical.

Only the pattern differed slightly.

When the two jade boxes touched,

Buzz!

Black light flowed.

The black patterns on the jade box moved quickly, extending tendrils like living, intertwining and combining into a complete diagram. And the two jade boxes combined into one before his eyes.

"They truly are one..."

Xiao Yi took a deep breath, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t open the jade box, nor could his powerful spiritual senses penetrate it.

"What is this thing?"

Unable to make sense of it, Xiao Yi shook his head, muttering, "Forget it, I’ll ask Elder Tongtian when I see him in a few days!"

With that thought,

Xiao Yi put the jade box away.

A moment later,

He reunited with Fang Tianmiao and others. Fang Tianchi had already informed them about the events at the Tongtian Sword Pavilion, and they were aware of the earth-shattering change in the Qingtian Realm.

The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.

Fang Qingzhu stood worriedly beside Xiao Yi, her eyes full of concern for him, "Brother Xiao Yi..."

"Don’t worry, nothing will happen with me around!"

Xiao Yi smiled lightly and patted her hand before looking at Fang Tianchi and the others, "Let’s head to the Southern State immediately!"

Everyone nodded.

The prestige Xiao Yi held within the Tian Ce Clan was no less than that of Fang Tianchi, the clan leader.

Everyone then broke through the void, heading straight for the Southern State.

Several days later,

At the valley where the Nantian Sacred Land was located, the void shattered and figures gradually emerged. Looking at the familiar scene before them, a young man walking with a beautiful companion let out a long breath, "Southern State, I’m back!"
