The familiar voice echoed, and Meng Sheng seemed to finally lose his composure, his eyes gradually reddening as he turned and said in a trembling voice, "Senior..."
"Follow me." Chen Xun, with eyes full of worldly experience, slowly walked into the forest, and Meng Sheng followed behind.
Little Crane looked around, her eyes filled with worry as she gazed at her eldest brother, not daring to approach.
She stood quietly in place, even recalling her eldest brother's sharp words:
"Nangong Heling, what does the destruction of the boundary have to do with you? Who do you know, and who knows you?"
She lowered her head, the gentle breeze passing by her ears, gradually clenching her hands together, finally murmuring weakly, "I know my eldest brother, second brother, and fourth brother..."
In the forest.
Chen Xun leaned against a large boulder, the surroundings were quite silent, with only the sound of the wind.
He took out some health tea, simply watching the small ripples forming inside.
Meng Sheng sat cross-legged nearby, his lips slightly parted, as if words were stuck in his throat, unsure of what to say, where to start, or how to explain.
Chen Xun lifted his head, his gaze deep as he stared into the distance, beams of light casting down on the earth, golden and dazzling, his heart growing increasingly calm.
He spoke calmly, "Meng Sheng, what exactly happened to the boundary? I still don't know any news, and I don't even dare to investigate. The methods of this grand world are too powerful."
Meng Sheng's hands, resting on his knees, clenched unconsciously. The senior was right; the methods of this grand world were beyond their imagination.
Originally, he thought that in such a vast world, even if they committed a crime, they could escape far away just like in the small boundary.
Moreover, once they fled here, it was a distance of 188,000 miles. Who could find them, who could catch them?
After a few hundred years, they could change their identities and peacefully cultivate immortality to strengthen themselves. However... everything was wrong.
Once on the overseers' list, even if they escaped to the ends of the earth, even if they fled to another grand world, endless experts would come to kill them.
And it seemed as if they could lock onto their position at any time, arriving in no time.
If not for the fact that their crimes were not severe and their cultivation not high, the sudden arrival of the spatial passage method would have been used on them, which would have been true despair.
With low cultivation, at least there was a slight chance of survival, but if they hadn't met the senior today, they might have already died with regret.
With Unity True Lords in action, they had no means of resistance, not even knowing what a Unity realm expert was.
In this grand world, they had no status, no background, and even their spirit stones were inferior, living quite miserably.
Moreover, Meng Sheng had joined two sects, now expelled from their registry, fleeing with people from the small boundary.
He was originally like Chen Xun, putting aside hatred to cultivate, regardless of everything.
In his heart, there was too much regret for the small boundary, hatred for those who treated them like ants.
But these descendants of great clans were not as straightforward as Meng Sheng; they had elders, they had clansmen.
Moreover, their ancestors sacrificed their lives to send them out, so naturally, some things still needed to be investigated.
They originally thought it might be some great sect's force at work, but before they could find any clues, they inexplicably provoked a colossal entity.
The mighty force of the entire Xuanwei Heaven, the Xuanwei Celestial Palace!
Meng Sheng acted because he couldn't watch those who came out with him from the boundary die in front of him again.
Originally, he only intended to help, but unexpectedly got deeper and deeper, now becoming the leader himself...
The rules and mindset of the grand world couldn't be judged by the rules of the small boundary, and the methods of these experts were beyond comprehension. Meng Sheng's trump cards were all used up.
Today was the last time, and he didn't expect to meet this senior, who saved them all.
"Senior... the boundary was destroyed." Meng Sheng's voice was somewhat hoarse. He actually had a hometown too, occasionally sneaking back to see the changes in the mundane world.
Hearing this, Chen Xun's eyes finally shook, his breath well-contained, no longer causing changes in the surrounding environment due to unsettled emotions.
His guess was one thing, but hearing the truth was another...
His breathing became rapid, the mark between his brows pulsating continuously, his expression as deep as an abyss: "Who acted at that time, could you see their appearance or hear their name?"
Chen Xun's voice carried an absolute killing intent, withering all the flowers and grass around.
But it wasn't the aura that changed, it was the real power of his words.
Meng Sheng was dumbfounded watching this scene, wondering how strong the senior had become.
When they first met, he was at the Nascent Soul stage, then at the Transformation stage, and now... it was unknown.
Especially during that Starfall event, the senior seemed unafraid of Unity True Lords!
Realizing his own loss of composure, Meng Sheng quickly adjusted: "Senior, we don't know, we could only see three giant creatures from beyond the heavens. As soon as they appeared, the sun and moon lost their light, and mountains and rivers reversed."
"With just one strike, the entire small boundary was melted into countless fragments..."
Meng Sheng recounted word by word, a sense of desolation surrounding him, as he spoke in a low, difficult voice, "Senior, to this day, we still don't know who acted."
After speaking, his eyes gradually reddened, the scene of that great destruction causing severe trauma to his Dao heart, not daring to recall, not daring to mention, all those who escaped from the small boundary were like this.
Chen Xun's brows gradually furrowed: "Three giant creatures from beyond the heavens, it must be related to the Xuanwei Celestial Palace."
Meng Sheng nodded heavily, his gaze gradually becoming sharp, this matter was definitely related to them, already having some clues.
Chen Xun drank his health tea in one gulp, his Adam's apple moving continuously.
Then he took out a small booklet from his storage ring and looked at Meng Sheng: "Have you seen anyone from the Five Aggregates Sect?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere around became somewhat oppressive.
Meng Sheng remained silent for a long time, Chen Xun staring intently at him, the runes between his brows flickering intensely.
Meng Sheng met Chen Xun's gaze, speaking in a deep voice, "Senior, on the day the boundary was destroyed, this junior did not see the Five Aggregates Sect."
Chen Xun's eyes suddenly widened slightly, a sense of emptiness spreading throughout his body: "You mean the Five Aggregates Sect... is gone?"
Meng Sheng took out a token from the Five Aggregates Sect, looking at it deeply: "Senior, that day the sect token did not respond, they indeed did not come to the spatial passage."
Chen Xun's voice was low and trembling, refuting word by word: "Impossible."
His eyes turned slightly bloodshot, how could the contingency left by Black Bull for the Five Aggregates Sect fail to reach the spatial passage unless something unexpected happened in between!
"Senior! The Five Aggregates Sect may not have been destroyed with the boundary, this matter is too strange, it seems no one from the world of immortals in Kingdom Qian arrived."
"But did something happen at the Tian Duan Plains?!"
Chen Xun suddenly stood up, his vast aura shaking the mountain forest, roaring, "There is a three-eyed race sealed at the bottom, this matter must be related to them! Courting death!"
Meng Sheng's eyes widened slightly, there was actually a three-eyed race at the bottom of the Tian Duan chasm?!
Chen Xun gradually calmed his emotions, starting to write and draw in the small booklet, his speed quite fast, not speaking again.
Half an hour later.
Chen Xun closed the booklet, speaking coldly: "Meng Sheng, tell me about what happened after you left the boundary through the passage, I need a lot of information."
All the intense emotions that erupted earlier had transformed into a kind of calmness, over the years he had learned to hide, no longer shouting.
Meng Sheng's eyes became complex and seasoned, bowing, "Yes, Senior."
