Guarding the River of Time
Chapter 487 - 477: The Void Hand That Severed Time and Space! An Earth-Shattering Move!
Upon hearing this, the two barrier beasts exchanged glances and saw the same decision in each other’s eyes.
They planned to reveal all the identity information they knew about the "master" behind them.
Since Su Mu helped them lift the restrictions and they followed this new master, their allegiance had also shifted.
Moreover, they witnessed the immense power of this new master; nothing else needed to be said, just the fact that he could manipulate the River of Time was proof enough.
The master undoubtedly had the ability to bear the causality behind the scenes.
Just as they were about to blurt it out.
A pair of void hands traversed endless time and space and directly appeared in their sea of consciousness.
In an instant, all their memories about the "person behind" were erased.
At this moment, Su Mu sensed something, fully extending his aura, his divine sense instantly locking onto the two barriers.
His divine sense forcibly invaded the barrier beasts’ sea of consciousness as well.
The moment his divine sense appeared, the void hands shattered on their own, leaving no trace for Su Mu.
The entire process occurred in the blink of an eye!
"The master is asking you a question?"
"Why are you stunned?"
The Iron-Eating Beast, seeing the two barrier beasts appearing dazed, urged them.
The next second, the two barrier beasts came to their senses, clutching their heads and shaking them frantically: "It’s all gone, we don’t remember anything...."
Upon hearing this, the Iron-Eating Beast also got angry: "What do you mean? At this juncture, you still don’t want to talk?"
"It’s not their fault; their memories have been erased," Su Mu said leisurely.
Hearing the master’s words, the Iron-Eating Beast was also stunned.
Memory erased??
Could memories still be erased?
Weren’t they fine a moment ago, and now the memories are gone?
This was somewhat beyond what the Iron-Eating Beast could imagine.
The "person" behind these two guys, who exactly was it??
To be able to erase memories directly across time and space from within the barrier beasts’ minds!
Not only was the Iron-Eating Beast shocked, but Su Mu was also astounded by such an earth-shattering method.
Those void hands that just appeared with the two barrier beasts crossed unknown amounts of space, appeared instantly, erased the memories in an instant, and then vanished without a trace.
Su Mu reacted quickly enough, yet he couldn’t capture any trace.
Erasing memories isn’t a sophisticated method.
But to cross space and erase the memories of the two barrier beasts right under his nose, this method was indeed advanced. What truly shook Su Mu was that he couldn’t detect any trajectory.
Those void hands seemed as if they didn’t exist in this world, they were too elusive.
....
"Master, sorry..."
Realizing their memories had been erased, the two barrier beasts bowed their heads in shame, feeling they had been of no help, providing no useful information.
"It’s alright, this isn’t your fault," Su Mu murmured.
"If you had told me earlier when I asked you, this wouldn’t have happened," the Iron-Eating Beast sighed at the two barrier beasts.
If only they had told him when he first asked, this mess wouldn’t have occurred.
Well, now they’ve been deceived by the enemy and don’t even know who the enemy is....
"Telling you wouldn’t be useful; it would be erased anyway."
The two barrier beasts retorted at the Iron-Eating Beast.
Hearing this, the Iron-Eating Beast was left speechless, feeling like....even if he knew, it would be erased.
Only the master, knowing, would not have it erased.
......
Meanwhile, in a certain chaos space within the Ten Thousand Realms.
Upon closer inspection, two figures knelt in the void.
The next second.
A human shadow outline slowly appeared in the chaos.
Upon seeing the outline of the human shadow appear, the two figures kneeling trembled visibly, their faces turning ashen.
"Please punish us, master."
The two figures, one tall and one short, said in unison.
"What crimes do you have...." A ethereal voice came over.
Under the oppression of this voice, the two figures felt as if all the blood in their bodies was about to solidify.
"We successfully delayed a sufficient amount of time," one of them said softly.
Because according to the original plan, they had to delay Su Mu for at least an hour to consider the task completed.
Even though it wasn’t their problem, but rather the opponent’s strength being too strong, they still had to take responsibility upon themselves.
"This time, it wasn’t your fault, it was my miscalculation."
The chaotic human shadow said faintly, his tone laced with obvious displeasure.
"Master, is it really alright to have the barrier beast guarding there...." one of them asked cautiously.
"Shouldn’t we transfer that thing..."
...
"There’s already a problem."
"That thing has already been lost."
The chaotic human shadow’s point of anger wasn’t just because they hadn’t gained enough time; he was angry because the barrier beasts defected, and the item within the Stone Sect was lost, which was the most fatal.
Also, his presence was almost exposed.
To forcibly erase the barrier beasts’ memories, he also expended immense effort, forcefully penetrating the River of Time to erase traces.
Upon hearing this, the two figures exchanged glances, their expressions shocked.
Even the barrier beasts couldn’t hold their ground?
How long has it even been!
They were thinking, since the "tomb" had been exposed, they should immediately report to the master and let him handle it, transfer the item within the "tomb" to another place.
Now it’s all over, if that item is lost...
...
"Master, should the task you assigned us continue..." one asked the chaotic human shadow cautiously.
After a long silence, the chaotic human shadow finally answered slowly: "Proceed as usual."
"Go."
"Yes!"
With that, the two figures disappeared into the chaotic void.
The chaotic human shadow slowly raised its head, looking in a certain direction, eyes piercing through endless time and space, locking onto a particular place, and said leisurely: "The trajectory has indeed shifted...."
...
At this moment, Su Mu led the barrier beasts and others, returning home.
After getting home, Su Mu gathered everyone and introduced the barrier beasts as the new members.
The two barrier beasts stood in the yard, being scrutinized by curious gazes around them, looking a bit uneasy.
The master’s home truly is situated above the River of Time!
Moreover, every "spirit pet" the master had seemed very fierce!
Su Mu introduced them to Nannan, the Cyan Ox, Xiaobai, and the five little ones: "Our family has two more members now, you should get along well and look out for each other."
At this moment, Nannan’s gaze fell on the barrier beasts, and her eyes lit up, exclaiming: "I feel like I’ve seen you somewhere before!"
