Chapter 2170: Xiao Zheng Disappears
Xiao Zheng has disappeared.
His whereabouts have become the most worrying matter for everyone now.
Especially Hades, who witnessed the entire process of Xiao Zheng’s disappearance, felt deeply sorry in her heart. She always believed that Xiao Zheng’s disappearance was significantly related to her. After all, if she could have shattered the pillar of light just now, Xiao Zheng would not have been teleported to another place.
And it is very likely that the teleportation site would be in the terrifying Ancient World!
Thinking of the figure that appeared on the other side of the barrier, Hades’ eyes were filled with gloom.
No one knows how much time has passed, but Long Qie and others have all returned.
They had almost searched every corner of the Hundred Thousand Mountains but still could not find any trace of Xiao Zheng.
The people, finding nothing, had rather grim expressions.
As for the joy after the great battle, it had long been gradually overshadowed by the matter of Xiao Zheng’s disappearance.
"Did you find him?"
Seeing the returning crowd, Hades opened her mouth to ask.
Although she knew that the possibility of finding Xiao Zheng was almost zero, she couldn’t help but ask.
Long Qie first sighed in his heart, then opened his mouth and said, "No, we almost searched the entire Hundred Thousand Mountains, but we did not find Mr. Xiao. We don’t know where the teleportation array sent him."
Hearing his words, even Hades couldn’t help but sigh in her heart.
However, her face did not show much pessimism, and she said, "Don’t you all feel bad; although I don’t know where he is now, I am certain that he is still alive."
Hades never lied, and these words of hers were like a reassuring pill to everyone.
However, her following words caused everyone’s heart to sink instantly.
"But I highly suspect that Xiao Zheng has already entered the Ancient World."
Upon hearing Hades’ words, a surprised expression appeared on everyone’s face, including Long Qie. If Hades’ suspicion was true, the matter would become serious.
After all, the Ancient World is different from the outside, and everyone knows nothing about the situation inside the Ancient World.
The only known fact is that the Ancient Clan living inside is exceptionally powerful.
If Xiao Zheng was really teleported into the Ancient World and, should the Ancient Clan set a trap on the other side, then no matter how powerful Xiao Zheng is, he would most likely encounter danger!
Thinking of this, the complexion that had just eased on everyone’s faces couldn’t help but become quite unsightly again.
It’s uncertain how much time has passed when a sound of footsteps emerged, and Long Qie walked to the edge of the barrier. He seemed intent on trying to cross the barrier and enter the Ancient World.
However, before his hand could touch the barrier, a powerful force instantly repelled him.
"What’s going on?"
"Our cultivation level clearly hasn’t surpassed the limit of power the barrier can withstand, so why are we still being blocked by it?"
After being helped up, Long Qie asked, looking incredulous.
Hades spoke up, "Perhaps entering the Ancient World isn’t as simple as we imagined. There’s no need for you all to be anxious. As I already mentioned, I can sense that he is still alive."
"And on the other side of the barrier, ancient clansmen are guarding it. If we go in unprepared, we might be completely wiped out."
At the same time as she spoke, she thought again of the domineering figure she saw in the barrier.
"Let’s go for now."
"I will definitely find a way to rescue Xiao Zheng."
Hades said softly.
Although everyone didn’t want to leave, they could only follow her back.
After all, they still haven’t found a way to enter the Ancient World; staying here would just be a waste of time. Moreover, it is possible that Xiao Zheng wasn’t teleported into the Ancient World but is instead somewhere in this world.
Everyone held onto a glimmer of hope in their hearts, wishing that Xiao Zheng could return safely...
After everyone left, the Hundred Thousand Mountains once again returned to their former calm.
However, the undercurrents on the other side of the barrier were surging.
The leaders of the five major clans did not leave the entrance of the barrier but remained there.
At this moment, the eyes of four people were focused on Elmer, whose face was ashen, with looks of sympathy as well as gloating...
Because the Elmer who was just killed by Xiao Zheng was the son of the Elf Clan’s Clan Leader Old Elmer, and moreover, his only offspring. Witnessing his son dying tragically before his eyes, such grief is unbearable for anyone.
Looking at Elmer’s body, cut in half in the Ancient World, Old Elmer’s heart was filled with pain and hatred.
If only he could have acted a bit sooner, he might have been able to save Elmer’s life.
However, it’s too late to say anything now. Xiao Zheng’s move did not leave any chance, as he used Sword Qi to slay Elmer’s soul while cutting him in half.
With the soul extinct, even a True God descending would not be able to save Elmer.
"Please accept my condolences."
The Angel Clan’s Clan Leader Arthur stepped forward and gently patted Old Elmer’s shoulder.
Hearing his comfort, Old Elmer’s face became even more sullen.
But being a supreme expert in the Derivation Realm, Old Elmer quickly recovered. After a few breaths, his expression returned to calm, but the wound in his heart would not heal temporarily.
"Elmer, you just had a chance to make a move, why didn’t you kill Xiao Zheng directly and instead teleported him elsewhere?" At this time, the Human Clan leader Jiang Yi couldn’t help but ask, "Keeping this kind of person alive will eventually become a disaster; it would be better to kill him directly."
The others shared the same curiosity as Jiang Yi.
The eyes of the four were then focused on Old Elmer again.
Old Elmer snorted coldly before speaking, "If I could kill him, do you think I wouldn’t? The rules simply do not allow it; if I had forcibly acted to kill the Evil God just now, I would’ve been erased by the power of the barrier!"
"Is there such a thing!" Arthur frowned tightly, then asked, "Then where did you teleport him? If it’s in the Ancient World, that would be all the better."
"With my current ability, I cannot directly teleport him into the Ancient World." Old Elmer paused slightly before his expression suddenly became somewhat ferocious, "But I have teleported him into the heart of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, a place you should all be familiar with!"
The heart of the Hundred Thousand Mountains?
The four frowned for a moment, then suddenly showed shock.
"You actually teleported the Evil God into the territory of the Undying Clan!"
"You want to use the Undying Clan to kill the Evil God!"
