High-Level Martial Era - Chapter 563

Chapter 563: Chapter 322: Death News! Awakening (Seeking Monthly Tickets at Month’s End)_2
 

“The Life Crystal is dimming?”

“How is that possible!”

“Li Yuan is dead?” San Ye Semi Divine, Bai Shan Semi Divine, and Fang Hai, the three high-ranking officials in charge of the war affairs of the Mingxu Star Realm, were almost dumbfounded when they received this news.

The three immediately convened a meeting in the virtual network.

“What happened? How could Li Yuan’s Life Crystal suddenly dim?” Bai Shan Semi Divine couldn’t help but say, “Could it be that the Life Crystal is damaged?”

“That is a treasure bestowed by the Alliance Hierarch.” San Ye Semi Divine shook his head, “Even separated by hundreds of millions of miles, located on different planets, it can accurately judge life and death… unless one is in a different spatial world, but Li Yuan and the Life Crystal are currently both within the Mingxu Star Realm.”

“As for the Life Crystal being damaged? In the past few decades, the Life Crystal has never broken.”

As the chief steward of the Starfire Martial Hall, San Ye Semi Divine was quite familiar with the properties of these treasures.

“I’ll ask my teacher.” Fang Hai couldn’t sit still any longer; he couldn’t believe that Li Yuan would die within the Mingxu Star Realm.

Whoosh!

Fang Hai’s virtual figure disappeared instantly, obviously having gone to inquire from Dongfang Ji… Soon after, his consciousness descended into the virtual world again, his expression looking very grim.

San Ye Semi Divine and Fang Hai exchanged glances, their hearts sinking, both understanding the outcome.

“The teacher said.”

“Unless Li Yuan suddenly left the Mingxu Star Realm, the Life Crystal would not show his fall.” Fang Hai said in a low voice, “There is one exception, in that Divine Land, there are some extremely special and secretive places that can block the Life Crystal’s sensing abilities.”

“Once the Life Crystal cannot sense the existence of its host, it will decide the host has fallen, and naturally, it will become dim.”

Both Semi-Divines’ hearts rose with a thread of hope once again.

“It’s just.”

“According to the teacher’s meaning, such secretive places, even the usual Divine beings cannot open them up, like our Seven Star Civilization’s Seven Great Planets, none have places that can block the sensing of the Life Crystal.” Fang Hai shook his head, “Within the Mingxu Star Realm, the probability of having such a place is very, very small.”

Both Semi-Divines fell into the abyss of despair once again.

This statement was almost a death sentence for Li Yuan!

“Did the Alliance Hierarch say what we should do now?” San Ye Semi Divine couldn’t help but ask.

“Wait!” Fang Hai said solemnly, “For now, Yu Jinghe is not dead, Xue Yan is still alive, the two Beast Emperors should still be alive as well… All this is enough to prove that the so-called Divine Land is not a death ground for outsiders.”

“We can only assume that Li Yuan has fallen into some extremely dangerous and mysterious place.”

“But as long as he is alive, he will eventually come out.” Fang Hai said in a low voice.

San Ye Semi Divine and Bai Shan Semi Divine fell silent.

Wait? What an excruciating process.

…

At the Bright Moon Base, inside a Fourth-order Battleship.

A light screen projection emerged, showing a figure in white robes.

“Bai Shan Semi Divine.” Tavares, Jiang Zai, and Luo Chan greeted him with great respect.

“The news of the Spirit Gun’s death cannot be fully confirmed yet, our high-level executives also do not believe that the Spirit Gun would just die like that.” Bai Shan Semi Divine said in a grave voice, “The three of you must also strictly keep this a secret, and must not let it leak out.”

“Yes.” The three said in unison, all aware of the seriousness of the matter.

Once it spread, it would most likely cause panic.

“You all must be prepared to retreat at any moment.” Bai Shan Semi Divine said seriously, then his gaze rested on Tavares and Jiang Zai, “Tavares, Jiang Zai, treasures are being assembled at the fastest speed from the Alliance treasury to elevate your training to a higher level…”

“Once we make a significant retreat.”

“You will need to lead the other Flying Heaven Warriors to flee within the Mingxu Star Realm, trying to hold out within the Mingxu Star Realm until you have the strength to resist the Beast Emperors.” Bai Shan Semi Divine said with a light sigh.

“Understood.” Tavares and Jiang Zai responded solemnly.

Having chosen to break through to Flying Heaven Warrior within the Mingxu Star Realm, they had naturally prepared for the worst-case scenario.

In the event of a major retreat, individuals like Luo Chan and An Yongya, True Intent Prime Warriors, could evacuate along the Star Realm’s pathways.

But for those like them, who had already broken through to Flying Heaven Warrior, they would have to remain within the Star Realm.

If it came to that, they would have to choose between a desperate fight or fleeing like the current Flying Heaven Beast King, hiding and struggling within the Star Realm, waiting to accumulate enough power before counterattacking.

…

In Blue Star Xia Country’s Jiangnan Province.

Within the nearly imperceptible Ancient Divine Palace, a young girl in white clothes who had been leisurely waiting for Li Yuan’s return.

Suddenly.

“Hmm?” Gu Youyin sensed something, suddenly looked up, a trace of surprise flashing across her beautiful eyes.

Whoosh! Her figure disappeared from the main hall in an instant.

Following that, she appeared in another hall.

The hall was empty, except for a Glazed Antique Lamp suspended in the void, emitting a strange light.

At this moment, the light from the lamp flickered dimly.

“The Spiritual Lamp’s flame is flickering?” The girl’s eyes filled with worry, “Li Yuan, what happened to you in that Star Realm? You’d better not die in there.”

The Spiritual Lamp was a treasure far more superior than the Life Crystal.

Through the condition of the Spiritual Lamp, the girl could infer that Li Yuan probably faced significant trouble.

Previously, she had said she did not care about Li Yuan’s life or death, but now at this moment, she was also extremely anxious.

However, if it were in a normal Dimensional Plane, she could go for Inquiry and even rescue, but in an Exterior Dimensional Star Realm? She did not dare enter.

…

One day, two days, ten days, a month… time quietly passed.

Li Yuan’s Life Crystal still did not light up again.

Yu Jinghe’s Life Crystal, however, continued as normal, and this contrast slowly extinguished the flame of hope in the hearts of the Seven Star Civilization’s high-ranking officials.

After forty days had passed, even those like Bai Shan Semi Divine and Fang Hai, who held great hope for Li Yuan, began to waver in their convictions.

The only thing that still gave them a glimmer of hope was that Yu Jinghe and individuals from the Myriad Demons Civilization like Xue Yan also had not left the ‘Divine Land’.
