Chapter 4139: Chapter 4139: The Dragon Soul’s Sobriety

At this moment, however, the Red and Purple Venerates’ expressions were indifferent; the Red Venerate even snorted contemptuously and said, "We’ve seen him, but he’s already died beneath the Third Level Sword Tribulation."

"You’re always this suspicious and jittery. Anyone who comes in has to disturb the two of us. We’re not that free."

The Purple Venerate said bluntly. The next second, he and the Red Venerate’s figures flickered and vanished directly.

Watching the Red and Purple Venerates disappear, Xuan Jiyue frowned. She vaguely felt something was wrong, an uneasy sense in her heart.

"No, the altar!"

Xuan Jiyue’s face turned cold, and in the next moment she headed straight for the altar.

At this moment, Ye Chen was standing at the edge of the altar, trying to contact the Yue Hun Witch, but he hadn’t succeeded.

Suddenly, the Red and Purple Venerates appeared here, their faces slightly grave.

"Brat, you still dare stay here? Do you know Xuan Jiyue has already arrived?"

The Red Venerate glared at Ye Chen and snapped impatiently.

"Xuan Jiyue?"

Ye Chen’s heart jolted. If Xuan Jiyue saw him, she would definitely erase him without the slightest mercy. This was big trouble.

Just as Ye Chen was worrying, he saw vast sword might suddenly surge from the Red and Purple Venerates’ bodies, a cold intent like that from the abyss of hell enveloping everything. A transparent barrier abruptly shrouded Ye Chen inside.

"Two seniors, this is...?"

Ye Chen’s expression changed; he didn’t know what the Red and Purple Venerates intended to do to him.

At this moment, the Purple Venerate looked at Ye Chen, his gaze solemn as he raised a single finger.

"Stay here honestly. Don’t move around."

With that said, the Red and Purple Venerates disappeared again. Standing within this sword-qi-icy barrier, Ye Chen felt puzzled, but chose to trust them and did not act rashly.

Not long after the Red and Purple Venerates disappeared, Ye Chen looked at the void ahead and suddenly tensed in pain—he saw Xuan Jiyue arrive.

"This is bad!"

Ye Chen’s gaze turned cold. He had intruded into the Xuantian Sword Tomb; regardless of whether Xuan Jiyue knew his identity, just based on her cautious nature, she would definitely erase him.

"If I’d known, I wouldn’t have stupidly stood here."

A trace of vexation flashed in Ye Chen’s eyes, but he saw that Xuan Jiyue seemed not to see him at all. Wearing a puzzled expression, she walked to the front of the altar.

"No one?"

Hearing Xuan Jiyue’s doubtful mutter, Ye Chen’s expression froze slightly. It seemed the Red and Purple Venerates were helping him; their sword-might barrier could hide him so that Xuan Jiyue could not discover his presence.

"I nearly wronged the two seniors."

Ye Chen shook his head, but kept his eyes fixed tightly on Xuan Jiyue. Xuan Jiyue was his greatest enemy. With her standing right in front of him, Ye Chen had to restrain himself.

Yet Xuan Jiyue looked at the altar, which was as empty and ordinary as before, and still felt something was off, though she couldn’t find the flaw.

"Something’s wrong."

Xuan Jiyue shook her head, still harboring suspicion in her heart. But at this moment, the Xuantian Sword Tomb showed no abnormalities, and she couldn’t possibly stay here, wasting time on a mere hypothesis.

Xuan Jiyue suspected that the Samsara Master had already been reborn and returned, and was surely hiding in the shadows, lying low and plotting, waiting for the day he rose to strike her with a fatal blow. Xuan Jiyue would not allow such a thing to happen.

The next moment, Xuan Jiyue’s figure flickered and she vanished directly.

...

In the Heavenly Gorge, within endless darkness, a figure with towering aura and unmatched might suddenly descended.

This figure’s features were sinisterly delicate and beautiful, but their gender was indiscernible, making it impossible to tell if they were male or female.

This person was none other than Dishi Tian of the Emperor Abyss Palace. At this moment he stood in the darkness, staring ahead as he spoke calmly, "Xuan Jiyue, since you invited me here, why not show yourself?"

As soon as he spoke, waves of ripples spread through the darkness, footsteps sounded, and Xuan Jiyue slowly walked out from atop the valley.

"Dishi Tian, I vaguely sense that the Samsara Master has already reincarnated and returned. He must be hiding in the shadows, lying low and scheming, wanting to deliver a fatal blow to you and me. We can’t afford not to guard against him!"

Xuan Jiyue didn’t waste words, directly voicing the concern that worried her most. This was because Dishi Tian, like her, held deep dread toward the Samsara Master.

"I know."

Hearing Xuan Jiyue’s words, Dishi Tian’s face grew vicious, killing intent surging in his eyes.

"Do you know of the recent collapse of the East Cold Abyss?"

Dishi Tian asked Xuan Jiyue.

At his words, Xuan Jiyue’s expression shifted slightly. "Of course I know. A great battle broke out there; a Primordial Origin Realm expert fell. Don’t tell me it was related to you?"

"Naturally."

Dishi Tian neither admitted nor denied it. "Long ago, I discovered that Emperor Juehan’s descendant had reappeared in the world. I’d been looking for a chance to erase her. At that time, she went to the East Cold Abyss, and when I went to make a move, I discovered that person..."

A glint of icy coldness flashed in Dishi Tian’s eyes. "To kill Emperor Juehan’s descendant, I specially sought helpers strong enough to suppress her. But in the end, we were slain by that person, and I could only temporarily back off."

Dishi Tian told Xuan Jiyue everything that had happened at Juehan Palace, then continued, "I have the same feeling as you. It’s as if, in the unseen, a pair of great hands is arranging everything. You and I are nothing more than pieces on a chessboard."

"Hmph, who dares treat me as a chess piece?"

Xuan Jiyue let out a cold laugh, feeling utterly infuriated.

But whether it was Xuan Jiyue or Dishi Tian, they both knew all too well that in their past life, the Samsara Master had died at their hands.

In this life, the Samsara Master had reincarnated and been reborn. He would surely come bearing boundless fury. When the Samsara Master struck, it would definitely be a fatal blow. To prevent such a situation, they had to strangle this threat in its cradle.

"I’ll find a way to deal with this. Naturally, so will you."

Xuan Jiyue narrowed her eyes at Dishi Tian, speaking as if it were a matter of course.

"Mm."

Hearing this, Dishi Tian nodded slightly in silence. The matter of the Samsara Master was of utmost importance to both of them; neither would harbor any private motives regarding it.

After their secret discussion, Dishi Tian and Xuan Jiyue exchanged a look, endless cold light flashing in both their eyes. The next moment, they vanished simultaneously into the boundless darkness.

...

At the same time, in Huaxia.

Outside the Earth Cave, cordons had already been erected everywhere.

Many Dragon Soul Team Members and researchers were using all kinds of instruments to probe the deep darkness of the Earth Cave.

Their faces were filled with gravity.

Because...

The captain and Senior Ye Lingtian had been inside for far too long.

So long that the Dragon Soul Team Members could no longer be sure whether they were still alive!

This Earth Cave rendered all communication devices completely signal-less!

This Earth Cave seemed to herald death!

Just then, an old man appeared at the perimeter of the Earth Cave.

"Senior Duan!"

The gathered Dragon Soul Team Members called out to him with familiarity.

Medical God sect’s Duan Huai An nodded slightly, and his gaze fell on the entrance of the Earth Cave.

His white brows were filled with puzzlement.

He had inspected this Earth Cave a few months ago and could only say it was somewhat strange.

But why, in these past few months, had an extremely powerful soul power surged out from within, blocking all external observation?

"Weird... far too weird."

"Such soul power is unlike Yuan Daofeng’s, or the power systems of Huaxia and the Kunlun Mountains."

"It’s more like something from outside..."

Duan Huai An did not continue. He looked at the Dragon Soul Team Members behind him, whose eyes were filled with anxiety. After hesitating for a few seconds, he leaped forward.

Ye Chen had been away from Huaxia for many years. As his master, there were responsibilities he had to shoulder.

He had no choice.

Ye Lingtian and Jin Lengyan’s life and death had been unknown for months; time could no longer be delayed!

"Senior Duan!"

The Dragon Soul experts behind him shouted, but could only watch with their eyes wide open as Duan Huai An was swallowed by the darkness.
