Chapter 1042 The Vanishing Exit
“What are you thinking about?”
The Peach Banquet was nearing its end, with many immortals bidding farewell and departing, leaving the entire venue gradually deserted.
Yang Jian saw Lin Qiye sitting in his seat lost in thought, and asked him.
Lin Qiye stared at the empty venue before him, hesitated for a moment, and said puzzledly:
“The Peach Banquet has already ended… why hasn’t this time fragment disappeared yet?”
If the purpose of this time fragment’s existence was merely to intimidate intruders, then the best approach should be to continuously repeat the day of the Peach Banquet when all the gods of Great Xia gathered.
Now that the Peach Banquet had ended, almost all the gods of Great Xia had returned to the Celestial Court, or were stationed at their respective posts, with very few Great Xia gods remaining in Kunlun Void.
If enemies infiltrated at this time, wouldn’t they find the place empty?
Yang Jian looked up at the Kunlun Mirror hanging in the air,
“Since the Kunlun Mirror captured this period of time after the Peach Banquet, it must have its intention. After all, the thoughts of that person are not something we can casually speculate about…”
It has its intention?
Could it be that the purpose of the Kunlun Mirror releasing this time fragment was not only to intimidate external enemies? Was there a deeper meaning?
Lin Qiye pondered for a long time but still couldn’t find the answer. By now, all the Great Xia gods from the Peach Banquet had left, leaving only him, Yang Jian, and Nezha at the venue.
Soon, a green-robed maid came forward, bowed, and asked:
“Gentlemen, the Peach Banquet has ended, and we need to clean the venue…
Although the Peach Banquet is over, the Queen has decreed that the feast of immortal wine and fruits will continue for several days. If you are interested, I can prepare some empty rooms for you to stay temporarily in our Yaochi.
What do you think?”
Lin Qiye hesitated only briefly before nodding.
“Good, I’ll stay.”
The time fragment’s coverage was limited to Kunlun Void; once he left this range, the fragment would cease to exist.
Being able to glimpse the history of Great Xia’s gods from a hundred years ago through the Kunlun Mirror was a rare opportunity. He wanted to stay and see what would happen here.
As for the new recruits still training on the plateau, his responsibility for the third route had already ended, and there was nothing that required his attention. He believed that An Qingyu and Shen Qingzhu could handle the remaining parts.
Regarding the situation at the entrance to Kunlun Void, Cao Yuan had already reported to the Beijing headquarters, so there shouldn’t be any major problems.
There were still three days left before the final day of climbing Mount Gongger. As long as he could return within three days, everything would be fine.
“I’ll stay too,” Yang Jian suddenly spoke.
Lin Qiye was startled and turned to look at him in confusion.
“Since my existence is just a time fragment, whatever I do has no meaning. I might as well stay here and be a witness,” Yang Jian said calmly.
“Then I won’t go back either, since I have nothing else to do,” Nezha shrugged.
Seeing this, the green-robed maid nodded slightly, “Then please follow me.”
The maid led Lin Qiye and the other two away from the Peach Banquet venue, heading directly toward the immortal palace inside Yaochi.
With their departure, the venue fell into complete silence.
In a corner of the venue.
A blurry soul remnant slowly crawled up from Andre’s corpse.
“Phew…”
Andre’s remnant soul looked around, and after confirming there were no more Great Xia gods nearby, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and sneered,
“Fortunately, before I left Olympus, Lord Gaia separately cut out a portion of my soul for me. As long as I can return to Olympus with this soul fragment, there’s still a possibility of reconstructing my body…
Once I transmit the intelligence about Great Xia’s weak defenses, the doomsday for these Great Xia gods will arrive.”
He snorted coldly, and his remnant soul transformed into a white light, flying rapidly toward the outside of Yaochi!
However, just as his remnant soul reached the entrance of the Peach Banquet venue, a treasure vase materialized out of nowhere, instantly expanding to the size of a mountain, and covered Andre’s remnant soul!
A terrifying attractive force released from the vase’s mouth, and Andre’s remnant soul, like a speck of dust in front of a vacuum cleaner, uncontrollably flew toward the mouth of the treasure vase.
His pupils suddenly contracted as he desperately tried to break free from this gravitational pull, but to no avail.
How is this possible?!
When did this thing appear?
As the dark mouth of the vase rapidly expanded in his vision, unprecedented fear rose in Andre’s heart.
It was the despair of life and death, the fear of the unknown.
He couldn’t understand how his soul fragment had been exposed. The methods left by Lord Gaia shouldn’t have been so easily detected even by the Great Xia gods!
And even now, he didn’t know who was attacking him.
In endless panic and despair, Andre’s remnant soul was completely sucked into the vase. The spinning treasure vase quickly shrank, transformed into a blue light, and flew toward a magnificent immortal palace in the center of Yaochi.
Inside the palace, the Queen Mother of the West, wearing a phoenix robe, casually opened her palm, and the treasure vase automatically flew into her hand.
She grabbed the mouth of the vase and gently shook it. Her beautiful eyes showed no emotion,
“Two mice have already been caught, with three more to go… where can they escape to?”
…
Outside Yaochi in Kunlun Void.
An Qingyu, Si Xiaonan, and Leng Xuan, wearing Wuyuan gauze, descended from the suspended mountain peak.
Si Xiaonan looked back at the entrance of the venue, then fixed her gaze on the black ear in Leng Xuan’s palm. After pondering for a moment, she still said:
“Since we have already explored the true situation of the Great Xia gods, Singh no longer has any value. With so many suspicious points about him, especially seeking companions while knowing how to enter Kunlun Void… eliminating him at this opportunity also removes a potential threat.”
Leng Xuan nodded cooperatively, “Mm, I understand.”
Si Xiaonan’s words seemed to be communicating with Leng Xuan, but were actually finding a legitimate reason to explain everything to Loki.
Although she had set up a trap that killed Singh, the proxy of their alliance, she believed Loki wouldn’t blame her for this.
Loki never cared about alliances, nor would he want to stand up for the gods of Olympus. As the God of Mischief, he himself had accumulated blood debts from gods of other divine realms.
“Let’s go, it’s time to leave this place and return to Asgard.”
Si Xiaonan looked around and quickly found the direction of the ancient gate they had come through, leading the two of them quickly toward it.
A few minutes later, they stood on an empty stretch of land, with deep confusion in their eyes…
“Where’s the gate?” Leng Xuan looked around in surprise, “I remember we came from here.”
An Qingyu frowned slightly, a flash of gray passing through his eyes,
“The exit gate… has disappeared.”
