Supreme Warrior in the City

The Divine Master smiled faintly, ”Part of the reason they came here is indeed for the Feather Palace, but the other part is not so!”

”There’s another reason?” Su Yang looked at the Divine Master in astonishment.

The Divine Master said, ”As I told you before, after the Nine Realms split, the Winged Practitioners from the Human World have paid the most attention to the Feather Palace. For so many years, every time the Feather Palace appears, the Winged Practitioners from the Human World would use all sorts of means to approach the Feather Palace. And when the Feather Palace closes, every time, there will be thirty percent, or even more than half of the Winged Practitioners who don’t make it out, ultimately trapped inside the Feather Palace.”

”Why is that?” Su Yang asked, bewildered.

”The Feather Palace is full of dangers; it’s impossible for everyone who goes in to come out. Although they don’t dare to get too close to the Feather Palace, they will still encounter dangers.” The Divine Master said, ”And those Winged Practitioners, due to the Feather Clan, have advantageous conditions, thus ensuring they are safer inside, and their courage is greater. Attracted by the prospect of dominating countless worlds, these Feather Clan cultivators are indeed willing to risk their lives. As a result, they venture further inside the Feather Palace, leading to such outcomes. Either they encounter danger and perish inside, or they get lost and can’t find their way out. Or perhaps they venture too far, and when the Feather Palace closes, they can’t make it out in time!”

Su Yang realized, the Divine Master’s words gave him a general understanding of the situation inside the Feather Palace.

”The Feather Palace appears once every hundred years...” Su Yang mused for a moment, ”Those trapped inside the Feather Palace, if their cultivation reaches the Land Immortal Realm, surviving without food for a hundred years wouldn’t be a problem. Perhaps, when the Feather Palace opens next time, they might come out!”

”That’s what I thought too, but unfortunately, that’s not the case!” The Divine Master shrugged, ”Every hundred years, when the Feather Palace reopens, not a single person comes out, as if everyone who went in a hundred years ago has vanished.”

”Why would this be?” Su Yang remarked in shock.

The Divine Master shrugged, ”Who knows!”

Su Yang paused in confusion; such a scenario was indeed baffling. Those people trapped inside the Feather Palace should be aware of the danger. Even if some want to adventure, there should be some who are more timid and would stay put, waiting for the Feather Palace to open again and then leave.

Yet, over thousands of years, none who were trapped in the Feather Palace have come out, forcing people to wonder what the situation actually is inside.

”But...” The Divine Master suddenly spoke, immediately catching Su Yang’s attention.

The Divine Master looked serious, ”Seven years ago, I received news that a group of hunters, while hunting outside Kunlun Mountain, accidentally discovered a damaged scythe. Several hunters, upon approaching the scythe, were inexplicably drained of their life force by it and instantly turned into dried corpses!”

”What?” Su Yang frowned, surprised that the scythe might be some kind of magic artifact?

”I received this news two months later,” The Divine Master said, ”I found it strange, so I specifically brought people to investigate this matter. Turns out, someone had already come here ahead of us, investigating this matter!”

”Who?” Su Yang asked immediately.

The Divine Master looked toward the Winged Practitioners in the distance, speaking softly, ”It was these Winged Practitioners; they sent people below Land Immortal Realm, secretly infiltrating here to investigate this matter!”

Su Yang was surprised, ”Why is it their people who investigated this matter? Could they have received the news earlier?”

”I was curious about this matter at the time too, so I brought people to investigate around that area.” The Divine Master said, ”And at that time, all the hunters who discovered the scythe were already dead, including their families and everyone who knew about the matter, all had died!”

”Were they silenced?” Su Yang frowned.

The Divine Master nodded, ”Yes, silenced by these Winged Practitioners.”

Su Yang’s face immediately turned serious; just what happened that so many had to be killed to silence it?

”Initially, I only intended to conduct a simple investigation, not thinking it was a big deal. But after finding out the silencing of these people, I realized this matter wasn’t simple and specifically brought people for a thorough investigation around here!” The Divine Master said, ”However, all clues were cut off, and we found nothing. Finally, with great difficulty, I managed to trace back to the location where those hunters discovered the scythe. Arriving there, the scythe was long gone, but the area still had remnants of the scythe’s aura!”

”What is the situation with this scythe?” Su Yang asked immediately.

The Divine Master spoke softly, ”The scythe is a weapon of a Dark Angel. Coincidentally, I have seen this Dark Angel!”

The Divine Master looked at Su Yang, speaking in a heavy tone, ”But do you know what the most crucial part is?”

”What?” Su Yang asked curiously.

”The most crucial part is, this Dark Angel entered the Feather Palace 1,300 years ago and has never been seen again!” The Divine Master said.

”What!?” Su Yang’s eyes widened, ”Then... then how is his scythe outside? Could it be his weapon was brought out by someone?”

”That’s impossible!” The Divine Master said flatly, ”Items belonging to those who die inside the Feather Palace remain where they are. However, if they didn’t die and disappeared later, all their belongings disappear along with them, not brought out by anyone. Moreover, every time the Feather Palace opens, many are watching outside; it’s impossible for anything to be taken out unnoticed.”

”Did this Dark Angel not die?” Su Yang asked curiously.

”Not dead!” The Divine Master said, ”Inside, his body wasn’t found!”

”Then... what’s the situation?” Su Yang asked, bewildered by the complex scenario.

”I was also confused, also shocked. This person, inside the Feather Palace for 1300 years, his magic artifact suddenly appears outside; doesn’t it suggest that he might also emerge from the Feather Palace?” The Divine Master said.

Su Yang’s heart skipped a beat; this is indeed possible. But if this person emerges after 1300 years in the Feather Palace, what would his power level be? It’s absolutely a shocking development for the world!
