Library of Heaven's Path 2: Eternal Fate of the Heavens

The two proceeded on their way and came across several battlegrounds. Fearing trouble, they avoided them all from a distance.

After walking for a while longer, Zhang Xuan stopped. Straight ahead was the very spot where the people from the Fu Family had agreed to meet; it looked brand new, likely having been left not long before.

As they continued on, the signs became more numerous and more chaotic, indicating that they had probably encountered some danger.

Zhang Xuan furrowed his brows.

The Fu Family had treated him well, and it was there that he had grasped the Fox Charm talent of the fourth level. If they were truly in trouble, he definitely could not stand idly by.

Taking Liu Mingyue with him, he quickened his pace and after another seven or eight miles, a small valley appeared in their line of sight. Before they even entered, they saw a fog enveloping everything around.

The marks led straight into it, disappearing into the vast fog.

"Teacher, should we go in?" Liu Mingyue asked, a trace of worry in her eyes.

Not being able to see made it very difficult to prevent crises ahead of time.

"Let's go."

After a moment of contemplation, Zhang Xuan said, "You first enter my small world, otherwise if we get separated, it won't be so easy to find you!"

This time Liu Mingyue didn't say any more.

After taking her in, Zhang Xuan lightly shook himself and slipped into the valley.

The fog before his eyes was extremely thick; within a range of two to three meters, everything became invisible. Even with his strength, he dared not move quickly but could only grope his way slowly forward.

The Eye of Insight operated to ensure he wouldn't lose his way. After a few hundred meters, a strong scent of blood rushed to his face, and as he approached, his eyebrows knotted.

Seven or eight corpses lay before him, three of whom he had seen before.

They were the strong warriors from the Fu Family who had come along, all having reached Galaxy 5-dan. He hadn't expected them to die here.

With a tightening in his heart, Zhang Xuan continued forward and after a while, found several more corpses. Two of them were from the Fu Family; the rest he hadn't seen before.

It seemed that the strong warriors of the Fu Family had obtained some artifact and were now being hunted.

"Gentlemen, they no longer have the strength to fight. All we need to do is give one final push... I, Shi Zhongxian, guarantee to everyone here that as long as we get that artifact, I will give ample reward to each one of you," a muffled voice sounded from nearby just then.

Zhang Xuan followed the sound and saw a group of people not far away, with a chubby man at the forefront, speaking earnestly. It was impossible to discern his cultivation, but it should be no weaker than Galaxy 6-dan Peak, because in front of him, he saw several familiar faces.

They were all powerhouses from the Heaven Mandate Hall, even including one of the Vice Hall Masters.

These were all Galaxy 6-dan Peak warriors. At that moment, they were quietly standing and listening to the other man, indicating that this chubby man was not simple.

"He's probably from the Empire or a massive gate like that Brother Du..." Zhang Xuan speculated.

That Brother Du was from the Ten Thousand Sabers Alliance, and the Ten Thousand Sabers Alliance was established within the Empire. If his guess was correct, this man should also be from there; otherwise, his promises would not only be ineffective but would also cause others' disdain.

"Master Shi, we have already violated the rules three times. I'm afraid if we offend again, we will not get the so-called rewards you speak of, and will already be dead..."

A middle-aged man snorted coldly, clearly not convinced by the big promises the other was making.

"Don't worry, we have already guessed the rules here almost accurately. If nothing goes wrong, this should be the Heavenly Destiny of Ceremony left by ancestor Zhou Ji. As long as we follow the etiquette and no further offenses are made, there should not be much of a problem..."

Shi Zhongxian said.

"Zhou Ji?"

"Yes!"

Shi Zhongxian nodded: "The Heavenly Destiny of Ceremony is a Second-level Heavenly Destiny, appearing roughly three thousand years ago. Its founder was this Zhou Ji, who at that time advocated the way of etiquette to many empires with great momentum. Later, for some unknown reason, she disappeared overnight. Even though the Heavenly Destiny was passed down, it had declined to Tier 3, losing its former glory. Unexpectedly, this Zhilan Valley was left by her!"

"Second-level Heavenly Destiny?"

"You're saying this Heaven Mandate Domain originated from a Second-level Heavenly Destiny?"

After his explanation, everyone's breathing became rapid.

Most of these people had come from Zouyi City and the most powerful Heavenly Destiny they had seen was grade-6 or grade-7. They had thought if this domain had a Forth-Level Destiny, it would be quite surprising, but they never dreamed it could be Second-level!

Once they received the inheritance, they would surely stand at the peak of the world, looked up to by countless people.

"Everyone, calm down first. This domain is indeed transformed from a Second-level Heavenly Destiny. I understand your feelings and impulses, but I need to remind you in advance that although the artifacts are good, you must first see if you have the life to own them!"

Shi Zhongxian said with a wave of his fat hand, sneering.

"This..."

The excited crowd fell silent.

Indeed, the trillion market was right there before their eyes. Many could see and understand the operating rules, but it was a pity they were always out of reach.

That was destiny.

When destiny wills, eventually it must come to pass; when it does not, do not force it.

"What do we do now?" After a silence, someone shouted out.

"It's simple. I myself practice the Heavenly Destiny of Ceremony, being one of the successors to ancestor Zhou Ji. As long as everyone helps me obtain this inheritance, I will take many disciples and include you in my tutelage! As long as you become my direct disciples, you can imagine the benefits... Even if you are unwilling to switch allegiance, after we leave here, I will try my best to be your backer!"

Shi Zhongxian said, "Additionally, because I practice the Heavenly Destiny of Ceremony, I respect the agreement and will not go back on my word."

"This does make sense..." The crowd exchanged looks and came to a realization.

Those who practised the Heavenly Destiny of Ceremony indeed tended to be more convincing than the others.

"Alright, we agree!" The crowd quickly reached an accord.

Shi Zhongxian finally breathed a sigh of relief and pointed to a cave straight ahead, continuing: "They're hiding inside, relying on the terrain to keep us out. What we need to do now is attack in unison, break their defense first, and then charge in to seize them. I only want that Jade Pendant! I won't take any other artifacts, you can distribute them yourselves."

"Okay!"

Hearing him say this, the crowd nodded simultaneously, all filled with excitement.

Not to mention the promises he would fulfill if he got the inheritance, just the benefits from killing off everything inside the cave were immeasurable.

"I don't want the artifacts, as long as two of the girls inside are given to me, I will be completely satisfied!"

A pockmarked burly man's eyes were full of lewdness.

"Me too. During the fight just now, I saw them. That figure, that skin... they're absolutely perfect! Not to mention owning them, just having a single chance would be worth it!"

Another person shouted out.

"Good, as long as you help me get that Jade Pendant, what you do with the girls inside is up to you..."

Shi Zhongxian laughed heartily.

"I'd also like to participate! May I?" Just then, from amidst the fog, someone called out. The people furrowed their brows and looked warily, soon seeing a figure emerge from the nearby woods.

It was none other than the leader of the Mo Blade Sect, Mo Baiye.
