Chapter 862: The Fall Of Great Ning Palace (I)
Great Ning Palace.
The sky over Great Ning Palace was gloomy and gray. The once bright and beautiful lake had completely dried up, the ground had cracked, and the occasional clouds drifting overhead quickly dissipated.
The cliff at the very center had already collapsed, filling more than half of the dry lakebed. Countless palace halls and towers had toppled and collapsed, littering the ground with wreckage. It was a scene of desolation.
Trouble had broken out in Anhuai Heaven, and a host of Purple Mansion Realm cultivators had started to battle. They had even started fighting inside Great Ning Palace itself, causing the entire area to quake. In less than fifteen minutes, the place had been reduced to ruins. If not for the continuous efforts to maintain it, it could very well have been shattered into dust.
Now, with all the Mahas and Purple Mansion Realm cultivators inside, some unknown Purple Mansion Realm cultivator had apparently left a hidden trap that destroyed the sky-piercing pillar of light. It had been smashed to pieces after everyone had entered, leaving Great Ning Palace abandoned and disregarded, shrouded in darkness.
Silence lay heavy over the area as Li Xuanfeng stepped down from the palace ruins. The ground was covered in rubble. He pressed one hand on a stone stair several feet wide, pulled it loose, and casually tossed it aside, where it landed with a heavy rumble.
Li Xuanfeng had been trapped here for some time, but he hadn’t been idle. After all, there might be quite a few spirit items hidden in the ruins of the collapsed palaces that he could put to use.
He retrieved a bright silver lamp from the debris, brushed away the dust, and saw large words engraved on its base, Gaoping’s Xi Family.
This lamp was only at the Qi Cultivation Realm. Li Xuanfeng examined it carefully; the craftsmanship was elegant and refined. Just then, he heard Si Yuanli’s voice from the side, "When the Wei State fell, many cultivators fled south and reached the riverbank. At that time, most of the land south of the Great River was under Chu’s control. The King of Chu ordered the cultivators to stay north of the river, forbidding them to cross south.
