Yan An quickly lowered his head when he heard the sound. When he saw it was Keke, he shook his head helplessly, "Keke, why did you go to sleep in the water again?"
Gu Keke stuck out her tongue playfully and answered innocently, "Because it's so comfortable to sleep in the water. It's so cool and I feel like I'm completely relaxed."
As he spoke, he rolled comfortably in the water.
Tiansha Holy Palace——
Surrounded by blood mist, crows turned their heads and occasionally cried on tree branches.
A man with white hair, a strong build, and a red blood-red robe came to a palace that was a hundred meters high.
The palace walls were made of dull black stone, rough and cold.
These black stones are extremely huge, stacked layer upon layer, so high that people can't see the top even if they look up. It seems that the dark shadows can crush the sky.
The palace gates were two huge black metal doors, covered with twisted scratches and strange dents, as if they had been scratched by countless demonic claws.
The faint dark red lines on the door looked like dried blood.
The stone pillars on both sides of the door have long been mottled, and there are some blurred reliefs on the pillars, vaguely showing some horrific fighting scenes.
The guard outside opened the thick door and the white-haired man stepped into the palace.
A mingled stench of decay and blood filled the air. The hall within was utterly dim, with only a few ghostly blue lights flickering in the corners, barely illuminating a small area around it.
The ground was slippery, as if some kind of slime was flowing.
There were some tattered flags hanging on the surrounding walls, and the patterns on them had long been eroded by time and were unrecognizable.
Occasionally the wind blows and the flags flutter.
The man walked through a series of heavy stone doors.
As we went deeper, a long, narrow and dark passage gradually emerged before our eyes.
On both sides of the passage, fully armed guards stood like sculptures.
They have tall and straight postures and stern faces.
The whole space was so quiet that even the sound of a pin drop could be heard clearly.
The man walked along the passage.
After walking for about a few minutes, he stepped onto the bright red carpet laid out in the middle.
The red carpet extends all the way to the huge stone hall.
When the man walked to the front of the stone hall, he knelt on one knee and said in a humble and respectful manner: "Palace Master, I am back."
At this moment, a man was leaning lazily on the throne in the palace.
In his hand, he held a crystal clear cup filled with a thick, dark red liquid that looked like blood.
Hearing the voice coming from below, the man slowly opened his eyes that were as deep as a dark pool.
In an instant, strange colors intertwined and swirled in his pupils, red and black blending into each other.
The man did not respond immediately to the report from the returning person.
He simply took a sip of the red liquid in the cup, and the bright color instantly made his already rosy lips even more eye-catching.
When the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, a hint of evil charm was revealed. "How is the situation? Is he willing to come and talk?"
The great elder kneeling below heard this and slowly shook his head, "I don't want to."
The man frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, "Huh? Why?"
The Great Elder hesitated for a moment, then reported truthfully, "He said he had to go to the Arctic Ocean, so he can only come back another day."
He swirled the red liquid in the cup and took another sip, a look of enjoyment on his face. "Have you found out their strength?"
The Great Elder responded with a serious expression, “I only found out about their Third Elder, who is a few levels weaker than me.
As for the Second Elder, the First Elder, and even Patriarch Lu, I couldn't see them clearly."
He was at the peak of the Sky Realm, but he couldn't see through their strength. There was no doubt that they were all at the Void Realm.
Hearing his words, the man sitting on the throne also began to get uneasy, "Is what you said true?"
"I guarantee with my life that I will never deceive the Palace Master."
The man stood up from the throne, his eyebrows knitted together. "Is a force from the Mortal Realm really so powerful?"
"It seems I have to go and find out for myself."
The next morning, the sun shone through the clouds, casting a faint golden glow.
At the gate of the Lu Mansion, a group of elders with solemn expressions had already been waiting there, and each of them had a hint of worry on their face.
Lu Jingzhi was wearing a white robe and standing tall in front of everyone.
He looked around and finally his eyes fell on the Great Elder.
"Uncle, I don't know when I'll be back, so I'll leave the Lu Mansion to you to take care of it."
The Great Elder nodded slightly, "Don't worry, Patriarch, I'm here to keep the Lu Mansion in good order."
Lu Jingzhi once again warned with concern: "If anyone from the Tiansha Holy Palace comes looking for you, remember to hide and do everything according to my previous instructions."
The elder walked forward with a smile and patted Lu Jingzhi's shoulder vigorously, "Jingzhi, just relax!"
"Although we old guys are old, we are not so confused that we can't handle such a small matter."
"Just be at ease and be on your way."
