401: Kong Ling arrives in the Primordial Universe

Phantom Poison King never dreamed that three powerful enemies he couldn't possibly deal with would join forces to come looking for trouble. Had he known in advance, he probably would have been scared awake and crying even in his dreams.

Kong Ling had been in the Yuan Ling Universe for quite some time. Ever since he heard about Xun Xiuyuan in the Silver Sea Universe, he had rushed to the Yuan Ling Universe base without a moment's rest.

Although the likes of Qing Hui and Mortal World were extraordinary in strength, they still appeared to have no chance of winning before Kong Ling.

Kong Ling was also quite annoyed. Although he knew that Xun Xiuyuan was a member of the Yuan Ling Universe, no matter how he searched, he could find no trace of him.

Kong Ling stared at Qing Hui with eyes like torches and asked again in a deep voice:

"I have conducted a detailed investigation. That person's name is Xun Xiuyuan, and he is indeed a being of your Yuan Ling Universe without a doubt."

Qing Hui responded without a change in expression or even a blink of the eyes: "Senior is wise, but we truly do not have a person named Xun Xiuyuan here."

Even Mortal World, standing to the side, couldn't help but glance at Qing Hui in surprise, thinking to himself: I usually see you with a serious and old-fashioned look; I didn't expect you to lie without your heart racing or your face turning red.

Kong Ling no longer had the patience to ask anyone else because he knew perfectly well that these people were joining forces to deceive him.

Before coming here, he had already captured some warriors of the Yuan Ling Universe and performed soul searching, thereby learning that Xun Xiuyuan had gone out and not yet returned.

However, at this moment, he did not intend to completely fall out with Qing Hui and the others. After all, it would be a pity to easily kill five experts of the Six-Element Saint King level.

He planned to wait for Xun Xiuyuan's return to personally capture him, and then see if there was a chance to subdue these few indigenous six-system experts.

After all, these Universes that have not yet joined the Cosmic Alliance are not protected by the Alliance. To them, they are undoubtedly pieces of fat meat with immense temptation.

Kong Ling turned to look at the burly man behind him and ordered in a deep voice: "General Wu, immediately use World Power to blockade the entire base. Make sure that people are allowed in but not out. We will search slowly; there's no worry about not finding him."

As soon as these words were spoken, even Mortal World's pupils couldn't help but shrink, feeling Kong Ling's determination and ruthlessness.

However, the people present did not show too intense a reaction, as if they had long grown accustomed to this high-pressure situation.

After Kong Ling's figure had completely disappeared from sight, the five, including Mortal World, immediately gathered together and began a low-voiced conversation via voice transmission.

Huan You's brow was tightly furrowed, appearing somewhat worried. He suggested in a deep voice: "Should we inform Xun Xiuyuan via voice transmission and tell him not to be in a hurry to return here for the time being?"

By now, Huan You had completely integrated himself into the Yuan Ling Universe and naturally knew the importance of Xun Xiuyuan.

Qing Hui shook his head gently, his tone carrying a trace of helplessness and determination: "You and I both know that given Xun Xiuyuan's character and style of action, once he learns of the situation here, he will definitely return immediately without hesitation. Furthermore, the purpose of his trip is precisely to rescue the Sect Master. As long as the Sect Master can successfully escape, then for us, at least a sliver of a chance to turn the tables remains."

After hearing this, Huan You thought for a moment and finally nodded slowly, agreeing with Qing Hui's view. True Person Yuan Ling's strength was also well-known in the Phantom Poison Universe.

Thus, after a brief discussion, the five unanimously decided not to take the initiative to contact Xun Xiuyuan, lest they disrupt his plans or add unnecessary risk.

They decided to wait patiently for the latest news from Xun Xiuyuan's side so they could make further responses based on the situation.

At this time, Xun Xiuyuan had already followed closely behind True Person Yuan Ling and Jiu You, arriving together not far outside the mysterious and vast base of the Phantom Poison Universe.

Compared to the territory of the Yuan Ling Universe, the scale of this base was simply breathtakingly large.

It was only through True Person Yuan Ling's simple yet profound explanation that Xun Xiuyuan gradually understood the fundamental reason why this base was so massive.

It turned out that all of this was closely related to the original owner of the Universe.

The more powerful the original owner of the Universe was, the larger the base formed when their Internal World manifested on the Cosmic Battlefield upon their fall.

Listening to True Person Yuan Ling's explanation, Xun Xiuyuan secretly speculated that the previous owner of the Yuan Ling Universe was probably just an ordinary Hongmeng Realm Expert before falling.

The Phantom Poison Universe's base shared many similarities with the Yuan Ling Universe, especially in the numerous sturdy fortresses built around the base.

However, the number of fortresses in the Phantom Poison Universe far exceeded those of the Yuan Ling Universe, reaching a staggering amount.

Atop the cities of these fortresses, various types of giant cannons stood in rows like forests of steel. The garrison personnel were on high alert, standing atop the city walls, patrolling and guarding at all times, not daring to be even slightly negligent.

Jiu You's gaze swept across the opposite fortress, and a playful smile curled at the corner of his mouth as he teased: "So? Shall we kill our way straight in, or quietly sneak inside?"

Before True Person Yuan Ling could speak, Xun Xiuyuan took over the conversation with a smile: "You two Seniors can rest here for a bit; leave the task of leading the charge to me."

Having finally reached this treasure land, which was also the harvest season for exotic beast value, it would be quite a waste of this opportunity to act in a sneaky manner.

Xun Xiuyuan had already made up his mind to attract the enemy army in a grand manner and then take the opportunity to harvest exotic beast value on a large scale.

At the same time, because it hadn't been long since the Phantom Poison King suppressed the internal rebellion of the Universe, the security atop the fortresses was exceptionally tight.

He was constantly on guard against possible attacks from the Yuan Ling Universe.

Ever since the last defeat, the Phantom Poison King knew well that the offensive and defensive situation between the Phantom Poison Universe and the Yuan Ling Universe had reversed.

And Nuke's consistently ambiguous attitude made the Phantom Poison King feel even more frustrated.

Just then, a guard hurried over to report:

"Your Majesty, someone is attacking the fortress. It seems to be a Great Saint Realm expert, and they have already caused many casualties among the warriors."

Initially, upon hearing that only one Great Saint Realm expert was attacking the fortress, the Phantom Poison King secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, on second thought, wasn't Xun Xiuyuan from the Yuan Ling Universe a Great Saint Realm expert?

Thinking of this, the Phantom Poison King's expression changed abruptly, and without hesitation, he teleported, vanishing instantly from where he stood.
