Chapter 507 - 504: Do You Know Who I Am?
Piaomiao Palace.
The back mountain.
Gao Fei found a concealed spot to hide and carefully observed for a moment. After confirming that no one was around, he took out the stele, arranged them in a row, and allowed the heavy rain to wash over them.
"Come on, release all you've got!"
In sequence, Gao Fei placed the eighteen pieces of stele, with the one carved with the character "ten" at the front and the one with the character "follow" at the end. Linked together, the inscription on the eighteen steles read, "When the eighteen steles gather, they will subdue the immortals and slaughter the demons, commanding the Three Realms, none dare to disobey."
After placing the steles, Gao Fei stepped back a few paces and watched attentively and quietly.
"Buzz buzz buzz..."
The eighteen steles began to tremble slowly, then beams of light shot out from them. These beams converged to form a vortex, and the surrounding spiritual energy rushed madly towards it. In the blink of an eye, it was all sucked into the vortex, leaving the nearby spiritual energy thin and sparse.
"That should be enough! Let's leave it at that," said Gao Fei as he dashed over, collected the eighteen steles, and quickly left the scene.
Almost immediately after Gao Fei departed, several figures flew in from afar—a group of three men and one woman, all dressed in luxurious clothing and exuding extraordinary presence. Among them was an old acquaintance of Gao Fei, none other than the Vice Palace Master of Piaomiao Palace, Nangong Qi.
"This is the place!" Nangong Qi's eyes were like lightning as he scanned the surroundings. "Why has the spiritual energy here become so thin? What exactly happened just now?"
"The spiritual energy here wouldn't decrease without reason," a man in blue clothes said. "Something must have happened here, but sadly... we are too late."
"Investigate! We must find out what happened!" the woman dressed in pink palace attire said coldly. "Nothing like this has ever happened since the foundation of Piaomiao Palace. It's too strange! We must get to the bottom of this!"
"Please rest assured, Palace Master, I will investigate this thoroughly," Nangong Qi promised.
After looking around for a short while, the four of them turned and left the back mountain.
...
Tens of thousands of li away.
Ximen Lie, who was meditating and resting, suddenly opened his eyes. "The stele! It's the aura of the stele! The stele has appeared!" Ximen Lie leapt up, burst through the door, and flew out. "Dugu Jingtian! Come see me at once!" His voice thundered in all directions, probably heard throughout the entire imperial city.
Before long, a figure sped over from the distance. Upon closer inspection, it was indeed the Emperor of the Human Race, Dugu Jingtian.
"Immortal, what do you need me for?" Dugu Jingtian asked respectfully.
"The stele has appeared."
"What?"
"Just now, I sensed the aura of the stele!"
"Oh?" Dugu Jingtian's eyes lit up. "Where is the stele?"
"The stele appeared for such a short time that I could only determine its general location…" Ximen Lie said. "The stele is in the Northwestern Region."
"The Northwestern Region?" Dugu Jingtian frowned. "Last time it was the Southeast Region, and this time it's turned to the Northwestern Region?"
"Enough talk; hurry up and search!" Ximen Lie urged in a loud voice. "Send out everyone we can spare, this time we must find the stele!!!"
"I'm on it," Dugu Jingtian said, turning to leave.
Ximen Lie clenched his fists tightly, his expression twisted and terrifying, "Stele! I will definitely find you!!! Definitely will!!!"
...
The next morning, Emperor Dugu Jingtian hurried to find Ximen Lie, "Immortal, there's news."
"Speak quickly!" Ximen Lie urged.
"Last night, someone saw an unusual glow emanating from Piaomiao Palace; it lasted only a brief moment, roughly the span of a breath, before the strange light vanished," Dugu Jingtian rapidly reported. "I specifically captured a disciple of Piaomiao Palace and under severe interrogation, the disciple revealed the truth. Last night, something eerie happened on the back mountain of Piaomiao Palace. Everyone was in their rooms taking shelter from the rain when suddenly a loud noise came from the back mountain. By the time everyone rushed over, they discovered that the spiritual energy of the back mountain had become extremely thin..."
"Spiritual energy has become thin?" Ximen Lie's eyes lit up. "The rebel Stele can absorb spiritual energy... Where is Piaomiao Palace?"
"It is in the Northwestern Region. Piaomiao Palace is the largest sect in the Human Territory, with profound strength..." Before Dugu Jingtian could finish, Ximen Lie interrupted him.
"Let's go, take me to Piaomiao Palace."
"No problem."
And so, Emperor Dugu Jingtian led Ximen Lie to Piaomiao Palace.
...
"I'll send a message to have the Palace Master of Piaomiao Palace come out to welcome the Immortal..." Dugu Jingtian took out an Order Token.
"No need for such trouble." Ximen Lie kicked aside the disciples who tried to block him and then smashed the gate with a palm strike, striding boldly into the place.
Dugu Jingtian saw this and couldn't help but smile wryly. This Immortal was really too... domineering. Couldn't he wait a little longer?
"Who is this ruffian! How dare you barge into Piaomiao Palace! Do you have a death wish!" A group of disciples charged at him.
"Get lost, all of you." Ximen Lie swung his hand and sent a palm strike that blew away dozens of oncoming disciples. He kept walking forward without stopping. Along the way, he encountered several groups of challengers, all of whom he sent flying. It wasn't long before he reached the back mountain.
He closed his eyes and sensed carefully for a moment.
"Yes! It's the aura of the rebel Stele!" Ximen Lie was extremely excited. "I've finally found the whereabouts of the Stele!!!"
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Several figures flew from a distance, each exuding a powerful presence. After these people arrived at the back mountain, they surrounded Ximen Lie. They were all high-ranking members of Piaomiao Palace, each with Tribulation Crossing Stage Cultivation.
Palace Master Shangguan Yunyue stepped forward, glaring at Ximen Lie, "Who are you, and why would you barge into Piaomiao Palace! And injure my disciples!"
Ximen Lie glanced indifferently at Shangguan Yunyue, "Step aside! Let your leader come out and talk to me!"
"How insolent!" Nangong Qi shouted angrily: "You dare to disrespect our Palace Master! Believe it or not, I can slap you to death!"
"You are the Palace Master?" Ximen Lie's eyes flashed with surprise as he appraised Shangguan Yunyue, "A woman as the Palace Master, have all the men in Piaomiao Palace died?" The words were cruel and immediately made Shangguan Yunyue's face change.
"Can't a woman be a Palace Master?" Shangguan Yunyue said coldly, "You are discriminating against women!" She added another sentence: "Don't forget, you too were born of a woman!"
"What sharp words," Ximen Lie sneered. "Do you know who I am?"
"I don't care who you are! If you dare to barge into Piaomiao Palace and injure my disciples, I have the right to kill you on the spot," Shangguan Yunyue said sternly.
"You wouldn't dare." At that moment, Emperor Dugu Jingtian arrived at the scene. He glared at Shangguan Yunyue, "You've got some nerve, speaking to an Immortal like that! Quickly apologize and admit your mistake to the Immortal!!!"
