Chapter 1424: Lost Families

“Let’s go! Let’s head in there!” Xia Taili became very excited when she heard that they were looking at the Voidsoul Palace. After that, she looked over at the three men with her. “Listen to me: I saved all of your lives, so you aren’t allowed to vye with me for the treasures. Got it?”

Wen Diyi pursed his lips.

Lu Yin looked off into the distance.

Crown Prince Gui Qian just snorted derisively, which infuriated Xia Taili so badly that she nearly tried to kick the man out of the protection of her power vessel.

A bit in front of the group of four, but still outside the Voidsoul Palace, stood Yuhua Mavis. She had been thrown to this place. She had been lucky and had not encountered any of the dry creatures. It was also possible that all of the creatures had been lured away by Lu Yin and the others in his group, but regardless, Yuhua Mavis had encountered no difficulties on her way to the Voidsoul Palace.

Yuhua Mavis did not know anything about the Voidsoul Palace, but it was clearly odd to come across a building in the Dominion Realm.

She was quite amazed as she looked up at the front of the Voidsoul Palace. She was not impressed by the building itself, but by the cultivators who had been reduced to nothing more than bleached bones. It looked very similar to the ancient battlefield she had previously come across. The building itself had fallen into ruin, and it was impossible to see any of its original grandeur.

Yuhua Mavis lifted a foot and began walking towards the Voidsoul Palace. Coincidentally, she saw two people in front of her also approaching the palace. They were Long Tian and Long Xi, and they had also been blasted close to the palace by the explosion, just like Yuhua Mavis.

Long Xi’s face was pale. She wanted to search for Long Qi, but the Dominion Realm was vast, so where should she even start searching?

Her only hope was the Voidsoul Palace, as everyone who saw it would definitely try to search it.

Yuhua Mavis had not expected to come across Long Tian and Long Xi, and the siblings were also surprised to see Yuhua Mavis. Almost instantly. Long Tian’s eyes filled with killing intent. “She’s part of the Wang family’s team! Let’s get rid of her.”

He vanished. His speed was so fast that Yuhua Mavis was not able to see anything at all.

A while ago, Long Xi had told Lu Yin that once a person reached a high enough level of mastery of the White Dragon Clan’s Roving White Dragon, they would be able to briefly enter the true universe that only Envoys could normally touch. At this moment, Long Tian was using such speed to attack Yuhua Mavis, and the Junior Progenitor far surpassed the speed she had previously seen Wang Yi use.

Yuhua Mavis had already estimated the power of the Junior Progenitors after meeting Wang Su. Now that Yuhua Mavis was personally facing Long Tian’s unbridled killing intent, she felt a suffocating pressure suddenly fall upon her. This felt just like when she had faced off against Lu Lu after he had transformed.

She did not hesitate even a moment to raise her hand, and she instantly threw out a dozen punches. It did not matter if she was unable to see her opponent.

Long Tian knew that since Yuhua Mavis qualified to travel to the Dominion Realm that she was strong enough to be acknowledged by Wang Su. Still, Long Tian had not expected the woman to be so powerful. Her attacks were powerful enough that Long Tian assumed that she was using the Wang family’s Four Arts.

When Long Tian next appeared, one of Yuhua Mavis’s fists smashed into him. However, he did not try to go up against the punch, but instead twirled his body through an impressive arch while forming a spear out of his star energy. The spear took the blow, and it bent the spear shaft. Long Tian then threw the spear straight at Yuhua Mavis.

Yuhua Mavis lifted a leg and kicked the weapon. There was a loud bang, and a powerful shockwave swept out in all directions, reducing the ancient rubble littering the front of the Voidsoul Palace to dust.

When it came to pure physical strength, there was almost no one in the same generation, aside from Lu Yin, who could compare to Yuhua Mavis, unless the person used a special technique, like how Wang Yi had used his family’s Four Arts. However, Long Tian was different from Wang Yi. Long Tian had already opened up two meridian points, while Yuhua Mavis had not opened any. Opening two meridian points had allowed for an amazing increase in strength, and Long Tian was able to force Yuhua Mavis back with a single strike.

She was completely stunned. She had not underestimated Long Tian, and she had delivered her most powerful kick, and yet she had still been forced back.

Long Tian’s spear shot forward. His eyes were locked onto Yuhua Mavis. He had also been surprised by their previous exchange. This woman was much stronger than he had assumed.

If anyone from the Fifth Mainland were present, they would have been able to warn Long Tian to never look at anyone from the Mavis family straight in the eye.

As Long Tian stared at Yuhua Mavis, he knew that he would never be able to kill this woman.

An emerald green light appeared, and Long Tian momentarily fell into confusion. However, Yuhua Mavis did not take this opportunity to take any action. Both when competing for the position of the Cosmic Five or ZENITH, she had fought people who were able to almost instantly recover from her Rhythm of Life, and she expected Long Tian to be faster than anyone she had ever faced. This was why she refrained from rushing towards the Voidsoul Palace.

The moment she took a single, barefooted step, Long Tian had already awakened. He looked at Yuhua Mavis in surprise. “You might have an innate gift that allows you to control people, but you still can’t run!”

As he spoke, he waved a hand. “White Dragon Surveying the Sky.”

Five coi-like tokens appeared and trapped Yuhua Mavis. Long Tian’s spear twirled before stabbing forward. The spear tip twisted the void, and nearly tore through it. This attack had reached the absolute limit of what an Enlighter could be capable of. Long Tian wanted to deal with this woman as soon as possible and avoid Wang Su arriving and stepping in.

Anyone who was capable of controlling him, even if it was only for an instant, could not be allowed to remain alive.

Long Xi quietly watched from a distance. She did not move, and merely stared at her older brother. Unless his opponent was another Junior Progenitor, there was no way they would be able to stay alive. This fight was already over.

Long Tian’s attack would determine Yuhua Mavis’s fate. She could not block this spear, nor could she evade.

She stared at Long Tian and his spear, and then opened her mouth and swallowed a fruit. The very next moment, a terrifying aura descended, and an emblem of a green leaf appeared on her forehead. She waved a hand and broke through the White Dragon Surveying the Sky that had trapped her, and even tore through the void.

She had blocked Long Tian’s attack. “The strength of an Envoy?”

Yuhua Mavis grabbed hold of the tip of the spear and violently smashed it. The head of the spear shattered, and the force continued on, causing the rest of the spear to shatter. After that, she released a punch. The enormous power was caused by a towering giant tree that had appeared behind her. It looked like an imprint.

Long Tian saw the phantom of the giant tree appear behind Yuhua Mavis, and he then looked at the emblem of the green leaf that had appeared on her forehead. His pupils shrank to pinpricks, and he blurted out, “Mavis! You’re part of the Mavis family from the First Mainland!”

Boom

Yuhua Mavis punched Long Tian up into the air, and the tremendous force of her fist shattered the void, which blasted Long Tian back down to the ground.

Long Xi was still watching In the distance, and though she was surprised at what she saw, she still did not move.

Yuhua Mavis stared at the ground, and then jumped up and let out another punch as she stared at Long Tian. His eyes opened, but his vision had gone red. He was completely shocked, and he disappeared. However, Yuhua Mavis was able to see his movements this time, as she was able to see the true universe where Long Tian was racing towards her. She pulled back her right arm, and let loose another punch.

Long Tian’s feet suddenly stopped, and small dragon scales suddenly appeared over his body.

There was another loud bang, and Long Tian was smashed back once again. Yuhua Mavis had already swallowed a fruit from the Mavis family, and for the moment, she could use the strength of an Envoy, just as Yuehua Mavis had done when facing Yan Cheng during the defense of the Outerverse.

Given that he was up against someone with the power of an Envoy, it was impossible for Long Tian to win, even if he had already used the White Dragon Transformation.

There was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. He wiped it away, and then suddenly smiled. “The Mavis family. The ancient families like yours certainly have some pretty powerful relics, but how useful can they be? Tell me, how long can you sustain this power?”

Yuhua Mavis coughed, and blood leaked from her mouth. She turned pale. Even though she possessed the strength of an Envoy for the moment, she was still not able to kill Long Tian. He had actually never even taken this fight seriously, as he had never used a single power vessel.

“How long can you keep this up?” Long Tian took out a real spear that shone brightly. This weapon was clearly a rare treasure, and he had become serious. The spear shot forward, and the power of the spear thrust combined with the strength of the power vessel to produce something that horrified Yuhua Mavis. She erupted with her full strength and turned to rush into Voidsoul Palace without any hesitation. There was no reason to fight, as she could not win.

Long Tian shouted, “You can’t escape!”

Yuhua Mavis was still able to utilize the strength of an Envoy, which made it so that not even Long Tian could catch up to her.

Long Xi approached from behind Long Tian. “Someone from the Mavis family?”

Long Tian snorted. “When the First Mainland was destroyed, the Mavis family was the only survivors. The clan has a propensity towards protecting themselves.”

“I’ve never heard of a Mavis family anywhere in the Perennial World,” Long Xi pressed.

Long Tian sneered. “She’s a trespasser.”

“From the Forsaken Land?” Long Xi was surprised.

Long Tian responded in a quiet voice, “The Mavis family chose to not come to the Perennial World, but instead remained in the Forsaken Land. Only that place has any members of the Mavis family. This means that there are trespassers in our ranks. Her name shouldn’t be Yu Hua, but Yuhua Mavis.”

“If this Yuhua Mavis is here, then there must be other trespassers. We’ll need to see what other rats are here.”

At this moment, Long Tian suddenly remembered a particular incident, and he turned to look at Long Xi. “Wasn’t she the woman who helped Long Qi find out about where those Guan brothers had hid the evidence of being Redbacks?”

Long Xi had also thought of this, and she nodded.

“What’s her connection with Long Qi?” Long Tian’s voice sounded a bit off and rather cold.

Long Xi stared back at her brother. “You can’t think that there’s a trespasser from within one of the White Dragon Clan’s branch families.”

Long Tian looked back towards the Voidsoul Palace. “Even if there’s no connection, we still need to find that woman quickly and silence her as soon as possible. Otherwise, once Long Qi gets dragged into this mess, no one will be able to save him.”

“Don’t worry, Long Qi doesn’t know that woman. During that incident with the Guan brothers, it was because that woman didn’t like what was happening, so she gave Long Qi the location, not because she wanted to contact him” Long Xi explained.

Long Tian let out a sigh of relief. “That’s good. My White Dragon Clan can never give the Celestial Frost Sect any reasons for them to act against us.”

With that, he continued on towards the Voidsoul Palace.

Long Xi’s eyes flickered. While Long Tian had no doubts concerning Long Qi, that was because Long Tian fully believed that Long Qi was a true member of the White Dragon Clan. Only Long Xi knew that her husband-to-be was a fake. She tended to forget that the real Long Qi was gone. In fact, Long Xi had never even thought to ask the fake Long Qi for his real name. Did he actually have anything to do with Yuhua Mavis?

The more that Long Xi considered everything that Long Qi had done, the more off things felt. How could anyone from a branch family have the courage to disobey an order from the main family? What secrets did the fake Long Qi have?

Long Xi’s mood grew complex. Due to her relationship with Long Qi, she wanted to stop thinking about this subject, but the more she thought about things, the more suspicious she became.

“Come on. We need to catch up with that woman from the Mavis family,” Long Tian urged.

Long Xi quickly chased after her brother while taking in a deep breath. No matter whether or not there was a problem with her Long Qi, she could not say anything to anyone. If it turned out that there really was something wrong with the fake Long Qi, then she would just have to deal with it herself.

The Voidsoul Palace’s gates were not hidden. The gates were a hundred meters tall, and had been formed out of unknown materials. Despite the ages that had passed, the gates had not been completely destroyed, just like the rest of the building.

Progenitors were capable of destroying moons, planets, and even stars with just a glance. Their destructive force were extremely powerful, so any building that had held a Progenitor would naturally be completely extraordinary.

Yuhua Mavis rushed into the Voidsoul Palace, and saw nothing but thick dust. As soon as she entered, a wind swept up all of the dust throughout the entire Voidsoul Palace. It was much like throwing a boulder into a calm lake.

She took no more than a glance around before choosing a direction to flee. At the same time that she moved, she also let out attacks into all of the other corridors that she could have entered, as she intended to hide her path.
