Chapter 1535: Chapter 1328: Mystery of the Missing Heavenly King_2

Morubin’s expression gradually darkened as he spoke: “However, Xuanyuan Big Brother soon realized he was wrong. The way True Immortals treat mortal living beings can simply be described as indifferent.”

“The Faceless Immortal could easily save Xuanyuan Big Brother because he had already ascended onto the Immortal Way. Even though he had not yet had the chance to solidify his True Immortal Physic, he was still a true Half Immortal. He was of their kind.”

“As for the mortal living beings… even if it’s an entire world of beings, even if it’s effortless, the Faceless Immortal simply does not care, nor does he deign to do so!” Morubin said coldly with hatred.

“He even turned it around, persuading and warning Xuanyuan Big Brother…”

Morubin was filled with indignation, and Li Fan couldn’t help but narrow his eyes, his breathing quickening, displaying a look of righteous anger.

“The difference between Immortals and Mortals is like the Abyss of Heaven. But no matter what, don’t Immortals ascend from ordinary people? To witness death without aiding, such cold indifference!”

Morubin continued: “As the saying goes, those with diverging paths do not scheme together. After the divergence of opinions, Xuanyuan Big Brother ceased to contact this True Immortal, sealed the Statue away, and even planned to recarve the Mystic Sky Statues elsewhere.”

“However, a drastic change occurred before he could begin.”

“From what you’re saying, is it very likely that King of Mystic Sky encountered some misfortune at the hands of the Faceless Immortal?” Li Fan said somewhat shocked.

“If a True Immortal personally intervenes, even with King of Mystic Sky’s peerless stance, he probably couldn’t escape, right? No wonder I’ve been unable to find any trace of him for so many years…” Li Fan pretended to come to a realization, and then took on an appearance of being dispirited and lost.

Morubin furrowed his brow and interrupted Li Fan’s muttering: “Although the Faceless Immortal and Xuanyuan Big Brother have some ideological differences, there’s no reason for him to strike down with a heavy hand.”

“Moreover, even as powerful as a True Immortal, he couldn’t possibly kill Xuanyuan Big Brother instantly.” Morubin said with certainty.

“Xuanyuan Big Brother himself was a Half Immortal who had ascended into the Immortal World. Right before laying out the plan to draw the snake from the hole, he told us that after battling with the Grand Master, he had broken through again. Even if he wasn’t an Immortal in the traditional sense anymore, he still had enough strength to traverse the High Wall on his own.”

Li Fan’s heart was once again deeply shaken: “What could have caused the further advanced King of Mystic Sky to vanish without a trace?”

While saying this, Li Fan couldn’t help but recall the scene from his previous life, when Kitty Treasure mysteriously appeared, swallowed the True Immortal Phantom in one bite, and then instantaneously took away the True Immortal from the Immortal Ruins.

The two scenarios were so similar!

“Could there be some connection between them?”

“But the incident with Xuantian occurred ten thousand years ago. Plus, based on my previous speculation that the flow of time inside and outside the High Wall might not be consistent, if it was indeed acted upon from outside the wall, for them, it’s probably a matter from one hundred thousand, or even a million years ago…” Li Fan felt somewhat unsettled.

“However, looking at it this way, the methods of the forces outside the wall in hunting True Immortals have indeed advanced too much. King of Mystic Sky is not a traditional True Immortal, suffering an unforeseen event yet still managing to send a warning message. The one from Immortal Ruins, being a True Immortal of the Immortal World, and who had realized the Law in the Immortal Ruins for ten thousand years, was perhaps already approaching the Nameless True Immortal Realm. Yet, the result was even more lamentable.” A chilling notion emerged in Li Fan’s heart.

Faced with Li Fan’s inquiries, Morubin could only respond with silence.

If he knew the answer to the question, he wouldn’t feel so panicked while being hunted by the Immortal Dao Ten Clans, as if he had lost his backbone.

“Although I’m not clear about who the terrifying entity is behind Xuanyuan Big Brother’s disappearance, I am certain that Xuanyuan Big Brother is still alive in this world,” Morubin said with conviction after a long silence.

“Oh?” Li Fan’s eyebrows raised, expressing incomprehension at Morubin’s confidence.

After deliberating his words, Morubin then said: “When Xuanyuan Big Brother disappeared, I had rushed to the scene, and the Grand Hall where the Faceless Immortal Statue was displayed was already damaged.”

“And that Faceless Immortal Stone Statue…”

“Suddenly developed a face!”

“The Statue had fallen to the ground, its head cleaved off in mid-air and rolled aside. The solitary stone head, however, bore an uncanny resemblance to Xuanyuan Big Brother!”

Morubin disclosed words that left Li Fan utterly astounded.

In Li Fan’s Spirit Consciousness, the images from those days surfaced.

“This…”

“What has happened?” Li Fan said, somewhat puzzled amid the enshrouding Mist.

“Afterward, I ventured to find the remaining Mystic Sky Statue once more. Attempting to use the method once taught by Xuanyuan Big Brother, to reestablish contact with the Faceless Immortal…”

Li Fan took a sharp breath: “Fellow Daoist, you truly regarded life and death as nothing!”

Ignoring Li Fan’s admiring words, Morubin continued: “A True Immortal generally would not bother with mortals like us, insignificant as ants. As expected, my first attempt at communication received no response.”

“But, I did not give up. Instead, I persevered, for a full three years, continuously initiating communication at every moment…”

Hearing this, Li Fan instantly understood what Morubin meant.

“Even if disdainful of ants, if an ant were to incessantly bother by one’s ear, a True Immortal would surely be enraged and deliver punishment. Based on my understanding of the Faceless Immortal, He indeed has the capability to do so.”

“And yet, there was none.”

“It was just like it was a mere stone statue, no different from any regular one. For three years, there was no response whatsoever.”

“Therefore, I speculated, that after that day, not only was King of Mystic Sky greatly injured. Even the Faceless Immortal must have suffered a heavy blow!”

“The reason why the Faceless Immortal Statue strangely manifested Xuanyuan Big Brother’s visage and even had its head severed…”

Li Fan, finding it difficult to believe, continued the conversation: “Could it be that it’s because the Faceless Immortal made a move, helping King of Mystic Sky escape disaster?”

Morubin nodded: “This is also why I am firmly convinced that Xuanyuan Big Brother is still alive. Although our paths in the Immortal Way differ, from the hints revealed by Xuanyuan Big Brother, it seems he got along quite well with the Faceless Immortal.”

“Moreover, after all, they are of the same kind. There’s a precedent for lending a hand; saving him once more is not impossible.”

Li Fan remained silent for a long time.

After a good while, he shook his head in denial: “This is merely your conjecture, Fellow Daoist.”

“I had originally thought that the adversary King of Mystic Sky encountered that year at most would be another Half Immortal. If it were a True Immortal, or even a more powerful being, the likelihood of King of Mystic Sky escaping unscathed would be far too low!” Li Fan said rather dejectedly.

“Merely relying on your conjecture, it’s really hard to convince others.”

Seeing this, Morubin hesitated for a long time, but finally added in a grave voice: “It is not just a wild guess. The subtle intuition from Xuanyuan Big Brother tells me that Big Brother is indeed still alive in this world.”

Morubin’s words were obscure, extremely vague.

Li Fan wanted to ask for more details, but Morubin refused to speak further.

“Azure Abyss Pearl?” Li Fan couldn’t help but speculate in his mind.

It quickly switched back.
