<strong><u>Chapter 1521: Breaking Out of the Cocoon</u></strong>


    The Shi n was one of the eight ancient ns. Although the Shu n was not as well-known as the Gu n or the Hun n, it was still one of the eight ancient ns and not an ordinary existence. The Shi n usually kept a low profile and rarely would news rted to them spread, but keeping a low profile did not mean that they were weak. This Shi n was rtively strong when gauged by their fighting strength. The Shi n was a lot stronger than the Ling n, which was the first to disappear. There were many powerful individuals within the n who possessed an extremely powerful foundation.


    However, a super faction that possessed such a great foundation had once again mysteriously vanished overnight. Just thinking about the n’s disappearance was sufficient to cause one to feel a chill within one’s heart.


    The Shi n had disappeared the same way the Ling n had. Their realms had both been shut before they disappeared. Once the realms reopened, millions of n members and descendant citizens could not be found. Not one of them remained...


    Clusters of experts from various factions felt a chill rise from their feet to their hearts. These experts had entered the realm of the Shi n and found the realmpletely quiet and lifeless. Just what kind of terrifying existence could eliminate millions of individuals? Some of these millions of individuals included those top experts from the Shi n. All of those experts were existences within the Central ins that could shake the world with the stomp of a foot...


    Despite such existences, the Shi n was stillpletely removed from this world...


    The information regarding the disappearance of the Shi n appeared like a hurricane as it swept across the Central ins. Every faction was startled by this shocking information. Some of those with sharp senses could vaguely tell that something was not quite right. All of these ancient factions were iparably strong and their inheritance hadsted for thousands of years, yet two ns hadpletely vanished within a short ten years. If such a matter had only urred once, it could be written off as a fluke. If it urred twice, it would really be strange. Moreover, the way both ns had disappeared was exactly the same. This gave one the idea that the perpetrator, who made the Ling and Shi ns vanish, should be the same person or rather the same faction...


    However, a situation that caused one to feel troubled followed. Everyone knew that there were only two factions across the entire continent that could quietly eliminate the ancient Ling n and the ancient Shi n. Those two factions were the Hun n and the Gu n.


    In an instant, many guesses and doubts were thrown toward these two factions. The Hun n did not respond to these guesses, which matched their usual style. However, the Gu n felt a headache forming as doubts were cast their way. Their rtionship with the other ancient ns had been quite good, but the rtionships between them had be a little awkward after the Ling and Shi ns had disappeared. The other few ns were clearly beginning to feel some doubt and fear for the Gu n. Even some of their regr interactions had been halted.


    The Gu n clearly felt a headache because of this troubling news that had appeared out of the blue, but the events this time caused them to be cautious. These developments were clearly not beneficial to the Gu n. The faction who had struck had likely involved the Gu n in their scheme on purpose. However, the Gu n upper echelons felt some doubt and uncertainty because they couldn’t figure out how it was possible for the Hun n to possess such a frightening strength if they were really the perpetrator? They had managed to avoid the probing of many of the Gu n’s experts and eliminated the Ling and Shi ns without anyone else noticing either. Alternatively, could there be another terrifying existence that they did not know about within the Central ins?


    Regardless of the Gu n’s guesses, they did not possess any evidence to prove their innocence to the other three ns. Hence, they could only remain quiet in the face of this suspicion...


    As the Gu n and Hun n remained silent, the remaining three ns of the eight ancient ns—which were the Yao n, Lei n, and Yan n—suddenly announced an alliance one month after the Shi n had vanished. They called themselves the ‘Three n Alliance.’


    The establishment of the ‘Three n Alliance’ had an extremely great impact on other factions. This was the first time an alliance had been formed by the three ancient ns since ancient times. After all, these ns were varypetitive and had experienced many conflicts. It was easier said than done to abandon everything and form an alliance, but this time around, the three ns felt a great unease because an unknown danger. They did not wish to be the next Ling n or Shi n, but this mysterious murderer had been able to quietly eliminate the Ling n and the Shi n, so it was probably not going to be an overly difficult matter for that perpetrator to eliminate one of them. In order to protect their n’s bloodline, they had no other choice but to form an alliance at this moment...


    The other factions on the Central ins slightly rxed when the ‘Three n Alliance’ did notunch an army into the Central ins after announcing their alliance. Instead, they spent plenty of resources to build a tunnel between their realms. Thus, if one party was attacked, the other two would be able to swiftly provide support through the spatial tunnel.


    After the spatial tunnels between the three ns were formed, the three ns appeared impregnable. At this moment, these ns finally began to gradually rx. After which, they also started to dispatch some experts. These experts continuously entered and exited the Shi n’s realm in an attempt to find some evidence to point to a culprit...


    The Central ins was always extremely interesting, so nothing could remain in the spotlight for long. Even shocking events like the disappearance of the Shi n and the formation of an alliance by the three ns had gradually left the spotlight around half a yearter. Moreover, that mysterious perpetrator had seemed to have disappeared without a trace. It caused one to feel an uneasiness while sighing in relief...


    After being shocked for a period of time, the ‘Sky Mansion Alliance’ also regained its calm. It continued to engage in an endless struggle with the Hall of Souls. At this moment, the two big factions werepletely at odds. Today, one would attack the other’s city. Tomorrow, the other would destroy one’s branch hall. They exchanged a tit for a tat as they engaged in endless battles. However, long term fight had begun to benefit the Sky Mansion Alliance. They were using this war to gain more strength. Not only had this war allowed the fighting strength of the alliance to be more powerful and unified, it had also attracted an increasing number of small factions, who had been pressured by the Hun n, to join them.


    Hence, during this one and a half years of war, the size of the Sky Mansion Alliance had expanded many times over whenpared to before the war. The number of experts within the alliance did not lose to the Hall of Souls.


    Gaining strength through war had allowed the alliance to grow even stronger.


    However, there was a matter that caused Yao Lao’s group fill with worry and anxiousness even as their strength soared. The source of these feelings was naturally Xiao Yan. It had been one and a half years since the demonic me realm had shut back then, but they still hadn’t obtained the slightest news rted to Xiao Yan...


    Thisck of news had caused many people’s heart to be a little anxious. The Sky Mansion Alliance’s chief might be Yao Lao, but in the hearts of many people, that skinny and strong back was their mental support. They thought that as long as that skinny back was supporting them, the Sky Mansion Alliance would never fall!


    Regardless of how anxious they felt, reality was cruel. There had been no activity from that ce even now...


    Time would not pause because of anyone. Hence, after the demonic me was sealed for two whole years, the strands of hope in the hearts of many began to gradually dim. Yao Lao’s group could do nothing to stem such a situation. They could only halt some offensive battles and turn to defense.


    While the Sky Mansion Alliance changed its fighting method, the demonic me realm had finally revealed some life after being quiet for two years...


    The demonic me realm was still as hot as ever as n enormous crystal egg floated in the sky above the magma sea region. The surface of the crystal egg was sparkling. asionally, there was a faint fire seedling leaping up and down, appearing just like a fairy that was filled with spirituality.


    “Crack!”


    A faint sound was suddenly emitted from the silence. If one’s eyes nced over, one would see that the surface of the crystal egg had slowly started to crack. After this first crack appeared, an increasing number of cracks began to gradually climb across the crystal egg. In the end, arge crystal shell fell from the top...


    “Bang!”


    A pink and golden light suddenly rose into the sky after the crystal egg crack. Finally, this light turned into a curtain that scattered down from the distant sky.


    “mour!”


    An arm was suddenly extended from the light pir as a figure violently stretched itszy waist. The bones all over its body emitted a thunder-like sound that echoed around the sky.


    “I have finally exited my retreat...” A naked figure stepped out of the light pir. Who else could the face of the figure belong to other than Xiao Yan? However, his ck hair scattered over his shoulders, giving him a free and handsome appearance. If one were to carefully observe his eyes, one would discover that they had turned into two extremely tiny fire lotuses. The lotuses rotated and a mysterious suction force was vaguely emitted from them, as though one’s soul could be dragged into them.


    “Ah, Xiao Yan ge-ge, why are you not wearing any clothes!”


    A clear voice that sounded like a flowing spring in a valley while apanied by an embarrassment appeared behind Xiao Yan soon after he had stepped out of the light pir. Xiao Yan turned around and looked at the beautiful figure, whose long ck hair scattered over her delicate waist like a waterfall. Perhaps it was because she had been in a slumber while training, but the current Xun Er’s exquisite, peach-like facecked a tenderness; instead, it had gained the hint of a soul-stirring enchantment. Adding the faint embarrassment on her face, all it took was one nce and Xiao Yan was captivated...


    “My wife is indeed beautiful...”


    The naked man stepped through the empty air and scratched his head before he smiled andplimented the embarrasseddy in front of him.
