Chapter 3566 Soul Plate Shattered

However, under the watchful eyes of so many powerful individuals, how could he possibly escape?

As soon as Ling Yan Chi made a move, Xue Ruyan's blood-colored long whip wrapped around him, directly coiling around his legs.

His body paused, and just as the precious sword in his hand slashed towards the blood-colored long whip, the Ghost King's Heaven-Destroying Ghost Claw arrived, grabbing his back and passing through his body.

Ling Yan Chi's Primordial Spirit overflowed from the top of his head, and before he could escape, Situ Dianmo's precious sword instantly shredded him to pieces.

After a few breaths, all four Immortal King Peak experts of the Four Directions Sword Sect were annihilated here.

All of this was Ye Bufan's arrangement; the other party had been spying on him and had witnessed his Extinction Thunder Tribulation.

It was best to keep such matters confidential if possible, to prevent them from spreading to the Middle Heaven Region or Upper Heaven Domain.

If these four people had quietly slipped back to the Middle Heaven Region, he would truly have had no way, but they insisted on coming to snatch the fruits of victory and claim credit, essentially seeking their own demise, so he couldn't blame anyone else.

Precisely because of this, he issued a kill order, leaving none of the four, though he did not use the Demon Refining Bottle to collect their Primordial Spirits under everyone's watchful eyes.

In the main hall of the Four Directions Sword Sect in the Middle Heaven Region, a white-haired old Daoist in a gray robe sat in the central position.

Wuwei Daojun, the Sect Master of Tiandao Sect, held a supreme status throughout the entire Middle Heaven Region.

And Sword Ling Xiao, the Sect Master of the Four Directions Sword Sect, respectfully accompanied him at his side.

"Daojun, what is the situation regarding the Human Race's great calamity you mentioned earlier? If my four Disciples cannot handle it, I will send more people to the Lower Heaven Region."

"Don't rush, let this humble Daoist perform another divination!"

After Wuwei Daojun finished speaking, he took out three copper coins covered in rust, waved his hand, and they floated in mid-air, spinning for a while before coming to a stop.

"Oh!"

Wuwei Daojun let out an exclamation of surprise, his face filled with shock.

Sword Ling Xiao, who did not understand divination, could not help but ask, "Daojun, has there been any change?"

"Strange, truly strange!"

Wuwei Daojun stroked his white beard, clicking his tongue repeatedly.

The last divination indicated a great ominous sign for the Lower Heaven Region, with a huge disaster impending.

But now, it was completely different, a scene of calm, suggesting that the great calamity had passed.

Sword Ling Xiao revealed a brilliant smile: "So, my four unworthy Disciples actually played some role."

Wuwei Daojun nodded frequently: "Eliminating the calamity and saving the common people of the world, the Four Directions Sword Sect has accumulated immeasurable Karma this time!"

As the two were speaking, a Disciple of the Four Directions Sword Sect suddenly rushed in from outside.

"Sect Leader, something has happened!"

Sword Ling Xiao, who was still excited, frowned when he saw his appearance.

"What's the big fuss?"

The Disciple said, "Sect Leader, it's like this: news just came from the back hall that the Soul Plaques of Senior Brother Feng Wuji and the other three suddenly shattered!"

"What?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sword Ling Xiao's expression instantly changed drastically.

Travel between the Middle Heaven Region and the Lower Heaven Region was inconvenient, so before these four set off, Soul Plaques were set up in the back hall.

As long as the four were safe, the Soul Plaques would remain unchanged.

Conversely, if the Soul Plaques shattered, it proved that these four individuals had completely perished.

Sword Ling Xiao asked, "Did all four Soul Plaques shatter?"

The Disciple nodded: "Without exception!"

"This…"

Sword Ling Xiao's face immediately turned grim; Feng Wuji and the other three were Core Disciples within the Sect.

He had originally thought that this trip to the Lower Heaven Region would provide excellent training and allow them to achieve great merit, but he never expected that none of them would return.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerate, Sect Master Jian, please accept my condolences!"

Wuwei Daojun made a Daoist gesture, "The four Disciples of your Sect perished for the great calamity of the Human Race; truly admirable!"

"Alas!"

Sword Ling Xiao sighed, "Daojun is right; for these four unworthy Disciples of mine to die for the great calamity of the Human Race can be considered an honor.

It's just that, this way, I don't know what exactly happened down there."

Wuwei Daojun shook his head slightly: "As for the matters of the Lower Heaven Region, as long as the great calamity has passed safely, everything else is irrelevant."

In the eyes of these powerful individuals, the Lower Heaven Region was actually not worth mentioning at all; if it weren't for the gravity of this matter, no one would have been sent down.

Sword Ling Xiao nodded; he thought the same in his heart.

Losing four Core Disciples was somewhat painful, but that was all.

As for who the murderer was, he didn't even consider it much; in the entire Lower Heaven Region, an Immortal King Peak had already reached the very top.

Moreover, who would dare to touch someone sent down from the Middle Heaven Region?

Precisely because of this, he didn't think much about it and attributed the demise of the four to this great calamity.

On Ye Bufan's side, after dealing with the four from the Four Directions Sword Sect, he returned to the Sect under the heroic gazes of everyone.

In the deliberation hall, he let Hua Bingyu sit in the main seat, while he sat beside her; after all, currently, the Grand Elder was still in charge, and he was merely the Hall Master of Lingyao Hall.

The heads of the other three halls and nine peaks, as well as the principal figures from various Heaven Domains, were also present.

"Xiao Fan, you saved the Liuguang Sect this time, so why don't you take the position of Sect Master?"

Hua Bingyu's expression was sincere; she didn't know about Gong Qingxuan's matter and felt that it was more appropriate for Ye Bufan to serve as Sect Master.

Tie Jia then said, "Master, this time he not only saved the Liuguang Sect but also saved the common people of the entire Lower Heaven Region.

A Sect Master is not enough; I think he should become the Lord of the Lower Heaven Region."

Everyone else also echoed, saying that if it weren't for Ye Bufan presiding over the overall situation when the Blood Asura Clan returned this time, the consequences would have been unimaginable, certainly a great catastrophe.

Ye Bufan waved his hand: "Alright, this matter is in the past, let's not bring it up again.

It's more suitable for the Grand Elder to be the Sect Master, and I don't want to be the Lord of the Lower Heaven Region.

I still have important matters to attend to and will be heading to the Middle Heaven Region soon."

Xue Ruyan said, "Master is right; the small Lower Heaven Region cannot contain a true Dragon like you; it's more suitable to go to the Middle Heaven Region or Upper Heaven Domain."

Ye Bufan said, "What are the ways to get from the Lower Heaven Region to the Middle Heaven Region? How can one get there?"

He had only Ascended for about half a year and wasn't very clear about the situation here, only knowing that it wasn't easy to go to the higher realms.

Hua Bingyu said, "Although they are both in the Immortal Realm, the Middle Heaven Region and the Lower Heaven Region still have distinct boundaries.

Generally speaking, powerful individuals above the Immortal King from the Middle Heaven Region are not allowed to come to the Lower Heaven Region, because their strength is too great and can easily cause this plane to be unable to bear it."

Ye Bufan nodded slightly, realizing that this was also why the Four Directions Sword Sect only sent down four Immortal King Peak experts.

Hua Bingyu continued, "There are only two ways for people from the Lower Realm to go to the Middle Heaven Region.

One is to cross the Void Realm, but the risk is too great, and generally no one dares to try.

The second way is through the Jubao Pavilion's teleportation array, but that requires paying a large sum of money, and also requires an invitation from the Middle Heaven Region; otherwise, even an Immortal King cannot go."

Hearing how complicated it was, Ye Bufan frowned: "How did the people from the Four Directions Sword Sect come down?"
