Li Ming 2 The Massacre 5 Years Ago

Great Elder Yui's face paled instantly upon hearing the news. She took a yellow stone from her cosmos sack and broke it to pieces. This stone is a 2000-mile communication item. Once it is broken, the other pair on the other side will disintegrate and the two people can communicate for 1 minute. These stones are very precious and rarely seen. Their prices range from 500 thousand to millions of silver depending on their grade. "Lu Yang, is there any suspicious activity on Khun Mountains?"

"Gr-great Elder Yui... A few minutes ago, the barrier that enveloped Khun Mountains shattered. Protector Mo already went ahead to check the situation. We are also already setting-up a teleportation array so you and the other Great Elders can be transported here as soon as possible."

Great Elder Yui looked at Great Elder Gu who is beside her. After Great Elder Gu received the message from his yellow stone from another protector, he scrunched his eyebrows and said, "It's impossible for anyone in this continent to break the barrier Qian and Ju set-up. Is it a new exponent from a different land?"

After hearing the discussion of the two Great Elders, the emperor broke into a cold sweat. "Great Elders... Isn't Khun Mountains the prison of that Demon Lord?"

Astronomer Huan, the eunuch, the guards, and attendants nearby all gasped upon hearing Demon Lord.

"Yes, you are right Emperor Murong. But you do not have to worry and just leave this to us. It's not like there's only one barrier to lock away that evil incarnate." Great Elder Gu a.s.sured.

"Great Elder Gu, is this related to the disappearance of Star Li Ming which Astronomer Huan reported?" the emperor curiously asked.

"Emperor Murong, I'll be honest with you. The disappearance of Star Li Ming indicates that an old dragon will fall and a new one will emerge. It will not necessarily be in the Country of Xiao but its good for you to know so you can be fully prepared. On the other hand, whether the Star Li Ming is related to happenings in the Khun Mountains, we are still unclear about that. As we all know, the ma.s.sacre 5 years ago was a result of the Demon Lord's greediness for power." Great Elder Yui recollected. "Whatever the case, the most important thing right now is for us Great Elders to make sure everything is okay in Khun Mountains." Four strips of paper surrounded Great Elder Yui and another four strips of paper surrounded Great Elder Gu. "Please excuse us for today."

The emperor and the others backed away when they saw the two Great Elders glow. The strips of paper produced golden specks of light that enveloped the two Great Elders. The golden lights intensified and the two disappeared. They really did teleport. Only the top pract.i.tioners of the Continent of Fu Yang has access to teleportation arrays.

At this moment, Emperor Murong was relieved. It was the right choice for him to make a connection with the Council of Great Elders. They were the ones who put an end to the b.l.o.o.d.y nightmare where more than 4 million people died. In that 4 million, 500 thousand was his Country Xiao's soldiers and around 300 thousand was his innocent citizens who lived on the surrounding towns of the place of battle.

Everyone was silent then suddenly, thud!!! "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong earlier and I will accept any punishment but I have more news to relay to you." kowtowed Astronomer Huan.

The emperor's face is now of worry. "Let's head to the Imperial Study!" He said as he waved his sleeves and left with Astronomer Huan.

A few minutes earlier, right after the barrier of Khun Mountains broke, something then fell in the center of a lake. The woman again felt the suffocating water. But this time, it wasn't as ice cold as earlier.

She discovered she can now open her eyes. However, what she saw was no longer the muddy seawater and she was no longer in her car. The water now was so clear. After looking around, she was surprised because approximately 20 meters away from her was a giant stone. The stone was red, it was like a raw garnet. Although the outer parts of the stone are clear it becomes darker inside. It was as if there is something inside that is corrupting the beautiful stone.

Even though she is curious, she is now running out of breath. Also, the situation has changed. She has read a lot of novels and she now has a hunch that she is no longer in the world she knows of. If that is the case, she wanted to live this new life.

But before she can swim upwards, another force was now pulling her towards the giant stone. She struggled but there was no use... Bang!!! Her entire body slammed into the giant stone and then she fainted.
