Chapter 580: Yuan Su's Intentions
Li Xuanfeng flew for half a day, using the water veins to traverse for quite a while before Splitreed Island appeared in view. Breaking through the sea surface, he landed in the marketplace.
"Hmm?" Li Xuanfeng scanned his surroundings. The marketplace was eerily empty, devoid of people. It was a mess, with clear signs of fighting and spells clashing everywhere. Occasionally, he spotted a few disciples of the Azure Pond Sect, all silent and withdrawn.
Frowning without a word, he swiftly rode the wind toward the main hall.
The grand hall of the marketplace was resplendent with gold and jade, its highest point shimmering with streams of light and defensive formations. As Li Xuanfeng walked a few steps, he noticed that the usual guards were absent, which deepened his suspicion, "Even Ning Heyuan is nowhere to be found… What has happened here?"
He stepped into the hall and immediately saw a man in azure robes seated on the white jade throne. The man's cheeks were slightly rounded, and his eyebrows long. His calm eyes carried an unquestionable sense of authority.
He lounged against the throne, his jade-like fingers lightly holding a small golden jade seal. His other hand rested on the armrest, rhythmically tapping it.
Kneeling below him in splendid robes was Ning Heyuan, his head pressed to the ground, trembling visibly. His legs were tightly joined, and he remained silent, like a statue.
Li Xuanfeng took a step forward. The radiant mana of his black-gold armor shimmered as he bowed, his head lowered as he said in a soft voice, "Xuanfeng greets the Daoist Master!"
The man before him was none other than Daoist Master Yuan Su, Ning Tiaoxiao himself!
