Chapter 231: The Heavenly Palace of Myriad Phenomena! The Shaman Sect! The Heavenly Yi Nobleman Fate!
At this time, Li Yanchu had an icy expression.
Back inside Qingyun Temple, he asked coldly, “What exactly happened? Didn’t Hongtu return to Jinchuan?”
Xu Lingsu sighed and said, “I went back to Jinchuan with him. But on the way, we were ambushed by a group of mysterious people. They captured Hongtu.”
“Mr. Liang fought to the death and managed to kill one of them, but he exhausted himself and died too. I was injured and barely escaped.”
“Although they were in disguise, I recognized where they came from. They’re from the Shaman Sect beyond the borders.”
The “Mr. Liang” she mentioned was the martial expert who had come earlier to escort Bai Hongtu.
“The Shaman Sect?” Li Yanchu frowned. “Why would they capture Hongtu?”
Xu Lingsu said slowly, “The Shaman Sect has a sacred site known as the Heavenly Palace of Myriad Phenomena. I think they’ve taken an interest in Hongtu’s Heavenly Yi Nobleman Fate[1]. They may want to use it to locate the temple, but I’m not entirely sure of their motives.”
“So that means Hongtu isn’t in immediate danger?”
“It’s said the Heavenly Palace lies within Mount Hengduan beyond the border, a legendary sacred place where immortality may be sealed away. If they’re using Hongtu to find the temple, then at least for now, his life shouldn’t be in danger.”
Hearing this, Li Yanchu’s tightly furrowed brow relaxed slightly.
However, Xu Lingsu didn’t know much more about the legends beyond the border, only that the temple was supposedly within Mount Hengduan.
