Chapter 496 - 480: The Origin of the Immortal Palace (1/3)
A conflict had temporarily vanished into thin air, but everyone knew this was just a brief period of peace.
The Star Core was too precious, precious enough to provoke Linghu Xuan and Liu Anqi to harbor murderous intentions! The reason they had ceased their actions was that they were incapable of killing Zhou Heng, but if such an opportunity arose, neither would show any mercy!
And this True Yang Immortal Garden could be a turning point; there might even be Immortal Artifacts within the Immortal Palace!
With Liu Anqi’s strength combined with an Immortal Artifact, killing Zhou Heng would no longer be a pipe dream.
"Please take action, Brother Zhou," Linghu Xuan said with a smile, exuding the refined grace of a noble family’s scion, making it impossible to associate him with a martial artist.
"Step back ten thousand li!" Zhou Heng commanded.
After exchanging looks, the five members of Linghu Xuan’s group complied, receding ten thousand li away—a distance that was not considered far for them, allowing them ample time to intervene if Zhou Heng attempted to enter the Immortal Palace alone.
Zhou Heng, however, had no intention of entering the Immortal Palace alone; he planned to use the environment within to trap and kill Liu Anqi!
He feared that driving the Star Core to open the Immortal Palace could result in a catastrophic overflow of energy, potentially inflicting serious harm on himself! With a ten thousand li buffer, he would at least have some time to react.
"Be careful, Zhou," Black Donkey said solemnly.
