Chapter 491 - 461: Oh No, I’ve Been Discovered! (Part 3)

"Just now, was there any unusual movement outside?"

Yan Lin slightly nodded, glancing deep into the distance with lingering fear, and asked.

"There was a powerful energy explosion, and the Fire Domain has expanded by about ten miles."

Yang Yuzhe replied solemnly.

"Ten miles?"

Yan Lin’s pupils contracted; even though the Endless Fire Domain had been acting up frequently as of late, it had only expanded by just over thirty miles over the course of a year.

And yet in just half an hour of his absence, such a drastic change occurred?

"Lord Flame Guard, what exactly happened inside?"

Yang Yuzhe asked with concern.

As the Hall Master of Fire Miao Hall, he was naturally aware of the terrifying nature of this issue.

If the Endless Fire Domain continues to expand like this, it won’t be long before the entire Fire Miao Hall region becomes part of the Fire Domain.

Yan Lin glanced at Yang Yuzhe but said nothing more.

"I will personally report this to the Empress; Yang Hall Master need not worry too much."

Noting the other’s worry, Yan Lin paused and said, "Additionally, have the Immortal Sect cultivators who’ve come here disperse and return."

The anomalies of the Endless Fire Domain had naturally attracted the attention of many cultivators.

In the eyes of many Immortal Sect cultivators, this was a sign of an Exotic Treasure coming into the world.

Therefore, in just a few days, many cultivators had come here. If not for fear of the Endless Fire Domain’s notorious reputation, they would probably have risked entering to seek opportunities.

Yan Lin knew very well that these cultivators, who were at most at the Lotus Platform Realm, would likely not even reach the inner area of the Endless Fire Domain.

Even the Lords of the Immortal Sect might not be able to stay long in the inner region.

Rather than let them waste their lives here, it would be better for them to focus on dealing with the threats from the Ruins Rift.

"Yes!"

Yang Yuzhe responded respectfully and immediately ordered his subordinates to disperse the surrounding Immortal Sect cultivators.

...

"The anomaly, is it something absorbing the energy of the Fire Domain?"

The Empress hung up the transmission, her brow furrowing slightly.

After listening to Yan Lin’s report, the unease in her heart intensified.

The dangers of the Endless Fire Domain were no less than those of the Fallen God Abyss.

Back then, if not for Qin Yu calming the malevolent energy in the abyss, the Empress would not have dared to enter the abyss lightly.

The Endless Fire Domain was even more perilous, and the secrets it hid were unknown even to the Great Yan Royal Family.

Now, with such anomalies occurring, a single misstep could lead to countless lives in the Fire Miao Hall region being buried.

In recent days, with the soothing of Qin Yu’s True Essence, her internal condition had gradually stabilized, but if she were to exert herself fully, her Dao Heart would inevitably become unstable.

Moreover, the backlash might be too severe to suppress even with Supreme Cultivation.

By then, the calamity could arrive prematurely...

The Empress knitted her brow; if left unchecked, the consequences were equally unthinkable.

"Your Majesty, shall I go and assess the situation?"

Yan Zhi, sensing the Empress’s unease, proactively volunteered.

As the Commander of the Flame Guard, her strength was no less than the magnates in the Imperial Capital; even someone like the King of Thunder, at his peak, might not defeat her.

The Empress merely glanced at her and shook her head.

The situation in the Endless Fire Domain was beyond even her understanding; even if Yan Zhi went, it would not be of much help.

To fully investigate the situation required venturing into the core area.

The Empress tapped her fingers lightly on the back of the chair and paused after a moment.

If Qin Yu could find a way to completely stabilize her internal condition, entering the Endless Fire Domain wouldn’t be a problem.

But...

According to Yan Yu, her healing was achieved through... that method.

The Empress could absolutely not accept it.

Even if Qin Yu weren’t Ling’Er’s future husband, she couldn’t accept such a thing.

Outside the Imperial Study, the sky began to lighten.

The Empress collected her thoughts and stood up.

Perhaps she shouldn’t be too harsh on Qin Yu, no matter what. The most pressing matter is to stabilize her condition.

Like yesterday’s massage, it seemed quite effective, and her condition was greatly alleviated.

She shoulders the heavy burden of the Great Yan Immortal Country and should not worry too much about these minor details.
