Madam Yan didn't do anything after hearing the news. She waited quietly. She needed more accurate information.
"Report!"
Not long after, a Hall Leader walked over and reported the news that Madam Yan and Bai Qiuxue didn't want to hear the most — After the two Royal Family Patriarchs went to the Heaven Martial City, they teleported to the Yu Emperor City together with the Family Patriarch of the Zi Family and powerful warriors.
"Buzz!"
Madam Yan did not hesitate this time. She took out a jade talisman and crushed it.
This kind of jade talisman was a warning jade talisman. If this one was broken, the other one in Bai Xi's hand would also be broken.
Bai Xi had brought a few of these jade talismans with him. Previously, they had agreed that if Bai Xi did not die, he would immediately know that the three King Clans had made a move.
"Where are the ancestors now?"
Madam Yan crushed the jade talisman, stood up and looked at the map of the Northern Desert.
The Hall Master glanced at the map, pointed at a region and said, "They should have all entered the Ghost Valley. Previously, the experts of the Yu Family entered here, and the Old Ancestor and the others chased after them."
"Oh no, this is a trap!"
Madam Yan let out a long sigh. Her face looked awful.
Autumn Snow's beautiful eyes flickered as she pondered for a moment. After a while, she said doubtfully, "This doesn't make sense. Although our ancestor's lifespan is nearing its end, his combat prowess isn't much weaker than when he was at his peak.
What right did the three royal families have to defeat their ancestor?
None of the three Royal Families has reached the Human Sovereign Realm. Otherwise, they wouldn't need to set up traps. They could just kill their way into the Thousand-island Lake. "
Madam Yan could not figure it out either. The Bai Family had been investigating the abilities of the three Royal Families and they did not find any significant breakthrough.
The Family Patriarchs of the three Royal Families were all at the peak of the Noble Lord Realm, the same as the Old Man of Heaven Prison.
However, the profound meanings they comprehended were different. The most powerful among the three royal families was the monarch of the Heaven Frigid Kingdom, who had comprehended a fourth-grade profound meaning.
On the other hand, the Profound Meaning the Old Man of Heaven Prison had learned was of the Sixth Rank, the same rank as Lu Renhuang.
That was why the Old Man of Heaven Prison could fight one against three and hurt two of them.
Profound Meaning had a great impact on a warrior's abilities. For example, even though Ming Yu only had a Second-rank Profound Meaning, he could defeat all the average warriors of the Noble Lord Realm who didn't have a Profound Meaning. This was the difference.
Profound Meanings were the supreme principles of heaven and earth. Once an ordinary person understood one kind of Profound Meaning, it would be hard for them to understand the other Profound Meanings.
Of course, this was the knowledge of the warriors of the Northern Desert. It was said that the top warriors of the Central Plains had comprehended several Ultimacies. In the Northern Desert, even the Dragon King had only comprehended one Ultimacy.
In other words, unless the leaders of the three Royal Families broke through to the Renhuang Plane, there would be no qualitative leap in their combat ability.
Since that was the case, why did they set up this trap?
If they were not sure that they could kill the Old Man of Heaven Prison, then it would be meaningless to do so.
On the contrary, it would completely enrage the Old Man of Heaven Prison. Maybe many people would die this time.
Madam Yan and Bai Qiuxue kept silent. The Old Man of Heaven Prison brought his people into the Haunted Hollow. All the powerful warriors followed him, including the powerful warriors of the Yu Family and the three Royal Families.
Madam Yan and Bai Qiuxue had nothing to do now. Even if they wanted to help, they couldn't. They could only wait for the final result.
"Send a message to Bai He and Bai Lu. Ask them to send people into the Ghost Valley and report back immediately if they find any information.
At the same time, mobilize our spies in the three great royal clans and find out the inside information of the three great royal clans at all costs. "
Madam Yan thought about it and gave the order. After giving the order, Madam Yan became restless.
She paced up and down in the outdoor attic and her face was gloomy.
So was Bai Qiuxue. She had thought of the worst situation. Once something went wrong, the entire Thousand-island Lake and the Bai Family would be destroyed.
The Thousand-island Lake was in the middle of the three Royal Kingdoms. There was no way for them to run even if they wanted to.
The more Bai Qiuxue thought about it, the heavier her heart became and the more awful her face became.
After all, she was only a 16-year-old girl. Naturally, she couldn't keep her composure in such a situation.
Time passed by bit by bit but there was no news.
It was getting dark. Madam Yan waved her hand and said, "Qiuxue, go back to sleep. I will send someone to inform you if there is any news."
"No!" Bai Qiuxue shook her head stubbornly and said, "I will wait with auntie."
Madam Yan was about to say something when a pretty girl walked over from the distance. She looked relaxed and comfortable. She cheered from the distance, "Sis, auntie, I am back."
Looking at Bai Xiashuang's innocent face, Madam Yan and Bai Qiuxue calmed down a bit.
Bai Xiashuang was an innocent girl. She was born with a one-track mind. Madam Yan and Madam Yan didn't want Bai Xiashuang to know the inside story and overthink things. It was better for her to live a simple life.
After Bai Xiashuang came back from Lu Li's place, she couldn't sit still anymore. She went to other islands for a bit and then went back to the Bai Emperor Mountain.
Bai Qiuxue knew where she went but she asked, "Shuang-er, how many days did you stay with Lu Li?
How are you getting along with him? "
"What are you talking about?"
Bai Xiashuang said angrily, "Sis, how can I live with a man alone?
What do you think I am?
I went to the Peach Blossom Cove.
Now that I have had enough, I want to come back and help auntie. "
"You?"
Madam Yan was in a bad mood. She didn't have time to chat with Bai Xiashuang.
She waved her hand and said, "Go back to the Peach Blossom Cove. I am busy. Don't bother me."
Bai Xiashuang was unhappy. She covered her mouth and said, "Auntie, don't look down on me. I can help you. Why can't I?
Whatever you can do, I can do as well. "
Seeing that Madam Yan was about to lose her temper, Bai Qiuxue thought of something and said, "Shuang-er, if you really want to help, then take some people with you to the islands of the Thousand-island Lake.
All the powerful warriors have been transferred away. I am afraid that someone will take the chance to make trouble.
Take some warriors of the Fate Wheel Realm with you and go around to stabilize the situation. "
"Okay!"
This job was perfect for Bai Xiashuang. She was born to be active. She would find it fun to take a group of people around.
Madam Yan nodded and said, "Right. Ask Bai Ding to arrange some warriors to follow you around. If there are any troublemakers, just put them down."
"Okay. Auntie, sis, just wait and see."
Bai Xiashuang patted her slightly towering peaks and left with an excited face.
Madam Yan and Bai Qiuxue looked at each other and forced a smile.
The two of them sat in the open-air attic for a whole night, but there was no news.
Powerful warriors of the Thousand-island Lake and the three Royal Families seemed to have disappeared into the Haunted Hollow.
None of the scouts that were sent in came out.
When it was almost daybreak, Bai Qiuxue could not stand it anymore. She fell asleep in the pavilion.
Madam Yan sat there in silence, waiting.
Madam Yan waited in the pavilion for a whole day but still, there was no news.
The Haunted Hollow seemed to be connected to another world. Once one went in, he would not be able to come out.
Bai Qiuxue looked awful. She didn't sleep well last night and she almost didn't eat anything today. Her face was pale.
As time went on, she looked worse and worse.
The night came quietly.
Madam Yan and Bai Qiuxue sat in the pavilion. They hadn't talked for a whole day. The atmosphere in the pavilion was quite depressing.
"Report —"
At midnight, a shrill voice came. Madam Yan and Bai Qiuxue jumped up in fear.
After listening to the report, the two of them felt weak and sat down on their butts. Their faces were completely drained of blood.
Scouts outside the Haunted Hollow finally sent back news. Two hours ago, warriors of the Thousand-island Lake came out from the Haunted Hollow.
There was only Bai Leng who had lost an arm and five warriors of the Eternal Realm.
