"Hmph, to think that Su Fei actually defected to the Demon Race! Spread this news far and wide, let everyone in Central Divine Land, no, the entire Primordial Continent know—from this moment on, Su Fei is the common enemy of all humankind across the Primordial Continent!"
An elderly man from the Corpse World said coldly.
"Indeed! That fellow Su Fei has betrayed our race. We must not let him go!"
"Besides Su Fei, those people beside him are also traitors! One of them is called Situ Kong'er! None of them can be spared!"
Mighty experts from various major forces voiced their agreement.
After all, everyone had witnessed with their own eyes Ye Yunfei leading Situ Kong'er and the others to stand before that great formation, and the demon race members hadn't stopped them at all. Besides defecting to the Demon Race, there was no other explanation.
Before long, the higher-ups of the major forces in Central Divine Land received the news and rushed over.
The fact that a massive Demon Race army was hidden within Heaven Beyond Heaven! This explosive news also spread throughout Central Divine Land in a short time, causing a huge stir.
Upon the suggestion of several super forces, the major factions dispatched their top experts with men to the Chaotic Plateau, stationing them around the entrance to Heaven Beyond Heaven to prevent the Demon Race army inside from suddenly emerging.
Many experts even suggested directly forming an army to charge into Heaven Beyond Heaven and utterly annihilate the demon force within, eliminating the threat once and for all.
There were also proposals to find a way to destroy the entrance to Heaven Beyond Heaven, rendering the demon army inside unable to come out.
After all, the entrance to Heaven Beyond Heaven had been closed for an extremely long time without incident. Now that it had just reopened, such a situation had arisen. It might be better to destroy it completely, severing the problem at its root.
A group of top experts from various major factions across Central Divine Land gathered near the entrance to Heaven Beyond Heaven, voicing their opinions and discussing strategies.
"Where are Wan Jun and Rou'er? Why haven't they come out?"
Suddenly, a scholarly-looking middle-aged man strode over with astonishing speed, arriving before the crowd in the blink of an eye. His eyes swept across them, and his expression darkened as he questioned.
"Greetings, Palace Lord!"
Immediately, a group of sharp-auraed individuals rushed forward, respectfully bowing to the middle-aged man.
"The Palace Lord of Longevity Palace actually came in person!"
Seeing him, the others couldn't help but feel a shock.
It was worth noting that this Palace Lord of Longevity Palace was one of the strongest experts in Central Divine Land, holding immense power and authority. A single stamp of his foot could make the entirety of Central Divine Land, nay, the entire Primordial Continent, tremble.
The Primordial Continent had two great palaces: one was Celestial Palace, the other Longevity Palace. Both were top-tier super forces!
"Where are Wan Jun and Rou'er? Where are they?! Answer me!"
The Palace Lord's face was ugly as he demanded in a heavy tone.
"Palace Lord, the young mistress and Rou'er... they seem to be with Su Fei.""At the time, I saw with my own eyes the two of them following Su Fei into Heaven Beyond Heaven, inside that great formation."
"After that... I never saw them again."
An elder from Longevity Palace stepped forward and spoke after a moment of hesitation.
At the time, the members of Longevity Palace, along with those from other Central Divine Land factions, had gone to the vicinity of that formation and confronted the Demon Race army. The Longevity Palace cultivators had spotted Pan Wanjun and Rou'er and immediately sent them messages, but Pan Wanjun and Rou'er paid them no heed, instead following Ye Yunfei into that formation.
"Su Fei?"
"That Su Fei from Donghuang?"
"Why would they follow that Su Fei? Could he be holding them against their will?"
The Palace Lord frowned.
"At the time, I sent a message to the young mistress, asking if Su Fei had restricted her freedom. She did not reply."
"Palace Lord, that Su Fei may have defected to the Demon Race. If the young mistress is with him, she is likely in danger."
The elder spoke cautiously.
"What were all of you doing?!"
"With so many of you, you couldn't even take proper care of Wan Jun and Rou'er!"
"Didn't I instruct you to protect them no matter what?!"
The Palace Lord raged.
The Longevity Palace members stood there with heads bowed, not daring to even breathe heavily.
Everyone in Longevity Palace knew how deeply the Palace Lord doted on Pan Wanjun and Rou'er; they were like pearls in his palm.
Now that Pan Wanjun and Rou'er were in peril, of course the Palace Lord was extremely anxious.
"You few, come with me! We're going in to find the young mistress!"
The Palace Lord thought for a moment, then addressed a few of Longevity Palace's higher-ups.
"Palace Lord, absolutely not!"
"There are over a dozen Demon Venerables and a shockingly large Demon Race army inside Heaven Beyond Heaven. And according to our speculation, there might even be a Space-Time Channel within Heaven Beyond Heaven connecting to the Demon Realm. We cannot act rashly.""Let us discuss this properly first, gather more intelligence, then act in unison."
Higher-ups from other super forces nearby hurried over.
"Hmph!"
"My daughter is inside! I am going in to save her now!"
"Who dares stop me?!"
The Palace Lord's expression turned even grimmer.
Boom... Rumble...
Right at that moment, the upper half of the mountain where the entrance to Heaven Beyond Heaven was located suddenly began to shake violently. Waves of devastating energy blasted out from within. The entrance passage that had reopened not long ago was twisting, disintegrating piece by piece, fragments of space-time wildly swirling.
"It's those demons inside! They are actively destroying this entrance!"
"What exactly is going on?"
"We don't want them to come out, and it seems they don't want us going into Heaven Beyond Heaven either!"
...
The experts from various forces stared at the collapsing entrance channel in utter astonishment. None had expected the demons inside to proactively destroy this passage.
"I understand now! It must be because of that Immortal Soil World shrouded by the formation!"
"That Immortal Soil World must contain treasures of astonishing value or incredible opportunities!"
"Those demons want it all for themselves!""So they're destroying this Space-Time Channel, preventing us from entering to vie for that Immortal Soil World!"
Someone guessed aloud.
"You're right! That must be the reason!"
Those experts who had entered Heaven Beyond Heaven and witnessed the Immortal Soil World within the great formation nodded one after another, agreeing with this reasoning.
"Everyone, since Su Fei seems to have entered that formation, wouldn't that give him a chance to obtain the treasures and opportunities inside?"
Suddenly, another person spoke up.
"That's right!""I saw that Su Fei enter the formation with my own eyes. He does have a chance to get what's inside!"
"In that case, we should just wait here for that Su Fei to come out!"
"But this Space-Time Channel is about to be destroyed. Su Fei probably has no chance of coming out."
"What a pity. If Su Fei gets the treasures or opportunities from that Immortal Soil World, we could wait here and seize them when he emerges. Unfortunately, he probably won't have the chance to come out."
The crowd buzzed with discussion.
