Chapter 344: This Is Far Too Strange
While Li Xun was deep in thought, outside Profound Sun Holy Land, several inner disciples had just returned from carrying out a sect mission. As they activated their identity jade tokens to open the mountain gate formation—suddenly, a streak of divine light shot in from the horizon.
It was unbelievably fast.
There was no time to react. It rushed straight through the opening created by the disciples and entered Profound Sun Holy Land.
"Who goes there?!" The disciples guarding the gate immediately changed expression and shouted loudly.
An unknown entity entering the Holy Land was extremely dangerous. If the intruder attacked the disciples, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Though the shout didn’t echo through the entire Holy Land, it still alerted several elders.
In an instant, powerful auras awakened across Profound Sun Holy Land like erupting volcanoes, surging into the sky and pressing toward the incoming divine light.
The pressure was like Mount Tai descending, overwhelming and inescapable.
"Fellow Daoist, don’t you think this is rather rude?" Elder Chen spoke.
He stood atop a mountain peak, his robes fluttering violently. With a single glance, he had already discerned that the streak of light was actually a person.
This person was not weak—at least stronger than himself. However, his physical body had already been destroyed, leaving only a divine soul.
Let alone Elder Chen, even a Life and Death Realm cultivator could defeat him in this state.
With such strength, forcefully entering Profound Sun Holy Land was no different from seeking death.
"I am Wang Xuanlang. I have met the Holy Son of Profound Sun Holy Land several times before. I come today with urgent matters and seek an audience with the Holy Son. Left with no other choice, I forcibly entered your sect. I ask for your understanding!"
Floating in the air, his figure faint and pale, Wang Xuanlang cupped his hands toward Elder Chen, his expression complicated.
Only his soul remained—everything else was gone.
Even his communication jade slip and storage ring had been lost. If he still had those, he wouldn’t have needed to risk everything by breaking through the protective formation.
After all, forcefully entering another sect’s territory—If it had been a more domineering faction, they might have killed him outright to set an example, preventing others from following suit.
"Wang Xuanlang?"
Elder Chen showed no recognition and shook his head slightly.
"Not long ago, the Holy Son has already become the Grand Elder of Profound Sun Holy Land. Even I cannot easily—"
Before he could finish speaking, from the back mountain of Profound Sun Holy Land, Li Xun’s voice echoed over:
"Elder Chen, let him come in."
"Yes."
Elder Chen’s expression shifted slightly. He dared not delay and immediately responded.
He cast a strange glance at Wang Xuanlang. He hadn’t expected that this soul-state cultivator actually knew the Grand Elder.
Most likely, they had met when Li Xun was traveling in his early years.
As for why he had come today, that remained unclear.
"The Grand Elder is cultivating in the back mountain. You may go see him yourself."
Elder Chen cupped his hands slightly toward Wang Xuanlang.
"Thank you." Wang Xuanlang said gratefully.
Then he hurried toward the direction from which the voice had come. Before long, he arrived at a hall atop a mountain peak.
Looking at the hall before him, he fell into a brief daze.
Just a few years ago, when he first met Li Xun, the latter was only a Life and Death Realm cultivator. At that time, he had even helped him several times under the orders of his young mistress.
Now, time had passed, he himself was still at the Divine Palace Realm, and had even fallen into this miserable state, while Li Xun had risen to become a Saint.
The contrast left him with mixed emotions.
But fortunately, Li Xun had become a Saint.
Otherwise, with the young mistress now in danger, he wouldn’t even know whom to turn to for help.
After all, in this vast world, there were very few who had ties with them—and even fewer who would be willing to lend a helping hand.
Perhaps in the entire world, Li Xun was the only one he could turn to.
"I am Wang Xuanlang... I request an audience with... Senior Li Xun!" After a moment of hesitation, Wang Xuanlang spoke in a deep voice.
In the past, he had addressed Li Xun as "young friend." But today, he had come to seek help—and the other party was now a Saint. He did not dare show the slightest arrogance. Nor did he want to risk displeasing Li Xun over something as trivial as a form of address.
"Elder Wang is too polite. If there is something to discuss, please come inside first."
The hall doors opened. A figure dressed in a moon-white robe stood within, hands behind his back, a faint smile on his lips as he looked at the elderly phantom outside.
"After so many years, Senior’s bearing remains the same—no, even more extraordinary than before. But I..."
Wang Xuanlang stepped into the hall. His aged face was filled with bitterness. After a soft sigh, he did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point:
"I beg Senior to take action and save my young mistress. As long as her life can be spared, I am willing to give my all—body and soul—to repay this kindness!"
"Oh?"
Li Xun’s expression shifted slightly.
He looked deeply at Wang Xuanlang. Although the system had indicated that he was a potential investment target, now was not the time—Wang Xuanlang’s entire focus was clearly on his young mistress.
"What exactly has happened within the Great Chu Dynasty?" Li Xun asked.
"The Divine Emperor of Great Chu, Chu Tiancheng, has colluded with Otherworldly Demons and intends to act against the Great Zhou Empire—as well as Profound Sun Holy Land, where you reside."
Wang Xuanlang said solemnly.
"So it really is the case."
Li Xun nodded lightly.
The situation matched his suspicions. There truly was something wrong with the Great Chu Dynasty—their Divine Emperor had indeed allied with Otherworldly Demons.
This also explained why the Champion Marquis had possessed so many Blood Essence Stones back then.
"Just after the Demon-Sealing Conference has concluded, the Divine Emperor of Great Chu reveals his hand and attempts to move against us and the Great Zhou Empire... This is rather strange." Li Xun spoke softly.
At this moment, anyone could see that the world was at a critical point.
Across the entire Desolate Ancient Continent, under the call of two Quasi-Emperors, forces everywhere were actively hunting down Otherworldly Demons.
And yet, at such a time, the Great Chu Dynasty suddenly stepped forward.
No matter how one looked at it, it seemed irrational.
The Great Chu Dynasty might be powerful, but it could not stand against the entire continent.
Even if it were ten times stronger, once countless forces joined hands against it, its destruction would still be inevitable.
