Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 868 - 867: Racing Against Time

A martial artist couldn't help but curse angrily, causing the martial artists outside the Teleportation Hall to turn their heads. The Teleportation Hall does not belong to any faction on Pegasus Star.

However, its status transcends all factions because the Teleportation Hall is subordinate to the Nine Elements Dao Palace. The teleportation array inside the hall is inscribed by the Array Masters of the Nine Elements Dao Palace, guarded by the Outer Sect Elder stationed here.

Ninety percent of the teleportation array's profits must be handed over to the Nine Elements Dao Palace, with only ten percent left for the factions on Pegasus Star to divide.

"This person is so arrogant, coming to the Teleportation Hall without concealing his aura. Really courting death!"

"The one stationed here is Duanmu Lei, an Outer Palace Elder of the Nine Elements Dao Palace, known for his terrible temper. This boy is going to be unlucky!"

"Why would Elder Duanmu Lei care about these trivial matters? In my opinion, those Outer Palace disciples might take action and give him a small punishment!"

The surrounding martial artists were gossiping, but Chu Ming couldn't care less about their conversation. In a brief moment, he felt a terrifying aura locking onto his life force.

Swish!

"Get out of the way!!!"

Chu Ming roared at the crowd of martial artists, and in an instant, he dashed through a gap and charged into the Teleportation Hall.

Boom!

A mass of red flame appeared in the sky, resembling a terrifying melting fireball. This flame grew closer to everyone, and they could clearly feel its temperature.

"Chu Ming, you killed my son and still want to run away?!"

"Even if it's the ends of the earth, the nine heavens, or ten lands, I will tear you to pieces!!!"

On the back of the Flame Kirin, Hong Yanjun's gaze was icy cold, and he roared madly, his furious voice shaking the heavens. The entire void trembled, engulfed by endless flame spiritual power.

"Is that... the Flame Kirin?!"

"Look, on its back is Hong Yanjun, the Great Island Master of Black Rock Island. I've seen him before!"

"Did you just hear what he said? Hong Yanjun said his son was killed?!"

"Impossible, right? Hong Yanlie, Hong Yanjun's son, is the top genius on Pegasus Star. He once killed a Sealed King Level genius. Unless a Sealed Saint Level genius emerges, who could be his opponent?"

"I figured it out. That young man in the red robe was hurried because he killed Hong Yanlie, and Hong Yanjun is chasing him!"

"Oh my, this is big news! Pegasus Star is going to change!"

The surrounding martial artists discussed fervently, and seeing Hong Yanjun's arrival, they quickly fled far away to hide.

Currently, Hong Yanjun was furious; anyone who touched his brow was practically seeking an early death!

Boom!

Hong Yanjun's aura exploded, sweeping through the layers of storms. His control over spiritual power had reached the level of Mastery, with terrifying purple Flowing Flame flames bursting toward the Teleportation Hall.

In the Teleportation Hall, Chu Ming was anxiously waiting on the teleportation platform. The teleportation array wouldn't activate immediately after entering; it would open once ten people gathered.

Now, ten people were gathered, but the previous batch hadn't been transported yet. According to Chu Ming's estimation, it would take about two or three breaths before their turn.

Boom!

A terrifying mass of purple flame drifted in from outside the Teleportation Hall, its scorching temperature melting the space, filled with earth-shattering power.

"Not good, what on earth is this?!

"Run quickly!!!"

Boom!

A mass of purple flame exploded, swallowing and incinerating with a Devouring Heavenly Fire Snake, instantly turning the closest seven or eight martial artists into ashes without a scream, the difference between them being too great.

"Who is so bold? Daring to attack the Teleportation Hall?"

Inside the Teleportation Hall were not only martial artists ready for teleportation but also many stewards from the Outer Palace of Nine Elements Dao Palace, responsible for collecting spirit crystals and maintaining order.

The occurrence of such a major incident immediately alarmed them. Several disciples from the Outer Palace of Nine Elements Dao Palace were preparing to go out and investigate when a hoarse voice echoed in everyone's ears.

"Continue with the teleportation; I will handle the situation!"

This voice was hoarse but strong and powerful, filled with unquestionable authority.

"Yes, Elder!"

Several disciples from the Nine Elements Dao Palace immediately responded respectfully and proceeded with the teleportation in an orderly manner.

"Is it the Outer Palace Elder of Nine Elements Dao Palace?"

Standing before the teleportation array, Chu Ming pondered silently. The Outer Palace Elder of Nine Elements Dao Palace had cultivation at least at the Saint Dao Realm, and in the Nine Elements Dao Palace, martial arts secret manuals were superior. At the Saint Dao Realm, the martial artists of the Nine Elements Dao Palace were peak experts.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Rumble!

Inside the Teleportation Hall, Chu Ming could hear terrifying rumbling sounds from outside. Though the hall had an array for protection, it still trembled under such noise.

"Duanmu Lei, you're blocking me?!"

A furious roar came from outside the Teleportation Hall, filled with burning anger.

It's Hong Yanjun!

"Hong Yanjun, this is the Teleportation Hall, belonging to the Nine Elements Dao Palace, not your Black Rock Island!"

The hoarse voice sounded again, clearly belonging to the elder of the Nine Elements Dao Palace, Duanmu Lei!

"Elder Lei, my son was killed. My own son was killed. Let me go in; once I kill Chu Ming, I'll leave immediately. I'll take responsibility for all the damages to the Teleportation Hall today and even owe you a favor!"

Hong Yanjun steadied himself and addressed Duanmu Lei in a low voice.

"Alright, you can proceed with the teleportation!"

A young man in a green Daoist robe approached the ten people, including Chu Ming, and spoke to them.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The ten people shot onto the teleportation array, and the young man in a green Daoist robe took out a palm-sized array plate from his robe. Spiritual power surged into it as he muttered incantations.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The teleportation array emitted scorching light, almost instantly enveloping Chu Ming and the others. Shortly after, the light dimmed, and the ten people had disappeared from their original location.

...

Outside the Teleportation Hall, it was a scene of devastation. Although the hall was protected by an array and remained intact, the land and buildings outside had turned into ruins.

Flames still roared, baking the earth. In the sky, a Flame Kirin stood angrily with its front limbs outstretched.

Beside it was Hong Yanjun, his face as dark as charcoal, his eyes blazing with fury.

A hundred meters ahead stood an old man in a yellow Daoist robe, suspended in midair. His presence was akin to thunder as rumbling filled the sky.
