Chapter 691 Yuanhe Divine King’s Judgment

Chapter 691: Yuan He God King's Judgment

After listening to Liu Yuxi's narration, Zhong Renfang's heart sank.

Originally, a mountain of gold was placed before him, but now the Tianyang Sect had gotten there first.

How could he tolerate this?

Moreover, this was no longer just a matter of a mere mineral vein.

That Void Continent was less than a year's journey from the Nine Directions Continent.

In the vast and boundless Chaos Sea, this was already considered a very close distance.

Now, the Tianyang Sect was already mining right under the Nine Directions Continent's nose.

If they didn't take immediate action, then what next?

Would the Tianyang Sect come to the Nine Directions Continent to mine?

Perhaps even directly to the Donghua Palace to mine.

Zhong Renfang understood that this matter absolutely could not be conceded.

Otherwise, under the Tianyang Sect's encroachment, perhaps not long from now, the vast Donghua Domain might slowly be completely eroded by the Tianyang Sect.

They must counterattack.

They must drive the Tianyang Sect's people back.

But the problem was, he clearly couldn't do it alone.

According to Liu Yuxi, there were dozens of True God Cultivators seen by the patrol team alone.

In reality, only Heaven knew how many people the Tianyang Sect had truly sent.

Zhong Renfang even suspected that this might be a sign of a large-scale invasion by the Tianyang Sect.

The so-called Divine Crystal mineral vein might just be a pretext.

The Tianyang Sect might be testing the Donghua Palace's bottom line.

If they didn't firmly counterattack, the next time the Tianyang Sect might truly step onto the Nine Directions Continent.

He must quickly report to the Sect, hoping that the Yuan He Palace Master could immediately dispatch strong support to completely annihilate this invading Tianyang Sect team.

Thinking of this, Zhong Renfang turned to Liu Yuxi and asked with a solemn expression, “Are you sure the patrol team didn't make a mistake? Were those indeed people from the Tianyang Sect, and were there dozens or more True God Cultivators?”

Liu Yuxi responded affirmatively, “There can be no mistake. Three members of the patrol team successfully escaped the Tianyang Sect's pursuit.

I received their transmissions almost simultaneously, and the content was basically consistent.

It was indeed the Tianyang Sect, and the scale was very large.

Moreover, they also used a recording stone in advance to engrave the scene at that time.

It's just that those three are still on their way back to the Nine Directions Continent.

We can't see the information on the recording stone for now.

It will probably take more than a year for them to bring the recording stone back.”

Zhong Renfang lightly tapped the table with his fingers, falling into silent contemplation.

Although Liu Yuxi spoke with certainty, they currently had no direct evidence.

If he were to report directly to the Yuan He Palace Master like this, it would not be good if it turned out to be a mistake.

Should he go there himself?

To that Void Continent to investigate?

Zhong Renfang thought silently to himself.

However, this thought only flashed through his mind for a moment before he quickly abandoned it.

Investigating now was completely meaningless.

Although that Void Continent was indeed not too far from the Nine Directions Continent, it would still take about a year to reach.

A round trip would be two years.

With that time, it would be better to wait for that patrol member to return with the recording stone.

Another point was that if the information Liu Yuxi received was true and reliable, it meant that a large number of Tianyang Sect Disciples were gathered on that Void Continent at this time.

There were at least dozens of True God Disciples alone.

If he went to investigate alone without thinking, and was discovered by the Tianyang Sect's people, wouldn't that be like throwing a meat bun to a dog—going and never returning?

“Never mind, I'll report to the Palace Master first.”

Zhong Renfang only considered it for a moment before quickly making a decision, because he knew that this matter could not be delayed.

Although the information currently understood was limited, and it was even possible that Liu Yuxi had received false information, no matter what, he had to report it as soon as possible.

This was not a matter of a Divine Crystal mineral vein.

For the entire Donghua Palace, a Divine Crystal mineral vein was not a big deal.

Even if the scale of that mineral vein was larger and its mining value higher, the Donghua Palace would not be too rare, because the Donghua Palace did not lack these conventional resources.

What Zhong Renfang was most worried about was that he feared the Tianyang Sect intended to use that Void Continent as a springboard to launch a surprise attack on the Donghua Domain.

If the Tianyang Sect established a super teleportation array on that Void Continent, they could quickly gather a large army and invade the Donghua Domain on a large scale.

Although Zhong Renfang felt that this possibility should not be too great, he could not rule out this possibility.

Especially in recent years, the Tianyang Sect had frequently launched provocations, and the relationship between the two sides was already very tense.

Perhaps one day, they would truly start fighting.

To be on the safe side, Zhong Renfang thought it over repeatedly and still decided to immediately report to the Yuan He Palace Master.

As for the subsequent matters, it would depend on how the Yuan He Palace Master intended to handle them.

Thinking of this, Zhong Renfang quickly took out his identity token.

Donghua Palace, Yuanhe Divine Hall.

The Yuan He Palace Master's expression was solemn as he slowly stood up.

He walked out of the hall, looked up at the distant sky, and murmured to himself, “Donghua and Duantian still have no news.

Is the Tianyang Sect getting impatient?”

After receiving Zhong Renfang's message, the Yuan He God King knew that this matter would definitely not be that simple.

A mere Divine Crystal mineral vein was not worth the Tianyang Sect making such a big fuss.

There were dozens of True God Cultivators discovered alone.

It was just a mineral vein.

There was no need for the Tianyang Sect to dispatch so many people.

Moreover, what made him feel even more suspicious was that three of the Nine Directions Town Guardian Manor's patrol members were actually able to escape successfully after being discovered by the Tianyang Sect's people.

This was simply impossible.

The highest cultivation of the Town Guardian Manor's patrol members was only the Void God Realm.

How could they escape from dozens of Tianyang Sect True God Disciples?

This was probably the Tianyang Sect deliberately setting a trap to lure them.

Wanting to lure the Donghua Palace's True God Disciples out for an ambush?

The Yuan He God King quickly thought of this possibility.

In previous conflicts, because they responded appropriately and always sent out powerful Disciples to attack, the Donghua Palace did not suffer much, and instead gained quite a few advantages.

Perhaps this time, the Tianyang Sect wanted to get even for past losses, so they deliberately set up such a trap to lure the Donghua Palace into it?

The Yuan He God King believed he had grasped the Tianyang Sect's intentions.

He muttered to himself, “Since you dare to fish at the entrance of the Donghua Domain, then don't blame me for swallowing all the bait.”

Thinking of this, the Yuan He God King quickly returned to the main hall.

He took out a jade talisman.

After casting a spell, the Yuan He God King said faintly, “Changqing, come here.”
