Chapter 560: Chapter 550: Blocked! The Same Outcome!

I’ve waited for decades without any movement, and just when I’ve convinced myself to leave, it happens?!

This really can’t be a coincidence!

With the constant trembling of the Stone Sect, the entire ground also began to shake, and cracks appeared.

At the same time, everyone in the Nine Palaces also stopped their work, gazing in terror at the distant Stone Sect.

Seeing this scene, Yue Ying was stunned.

This scene was incredibly familiar, exactly the same as what I saw decades ago!

However, the difference is that back then the person involved was Jiang Li, and I was watching the show from the side.

But now, I’m the one involved!

Recalling the heroic scene from that time, remembering the majestic figure standing over the River of Time, his whole body trembled uncontrollably, his mind went blank, and fear grew and spread within his heart.

"Hall Master!"

"Something seems to have happened to the Gate of Divine Punishment!"

In the next second, a middle-aged man in Black Armor came up to Yue Ying, speaking with a flustered expression.

The man’s sudden outburst pulled Yue Ying’s thoughts back to reality.

He glared at the middle-aged man in Black Armor and said, "I have eyes, I can see that!"

"Hall Master, what’s going on? It’s the first time I’ve seen such a big commotion from the Gate of Divine Punishment, it’s even covering the whole world." The middle-aged man in Black Armor spoke hurriedly, looking very panicked, "It’s already a mess down there, Hall Master, if you don’t come forward, it’s going to be complete chaos."

Hearing this, Yue Ying only felt his head throb.

The Nine Palaces are different from the Three Palaces. The Nine Palaces were established not long ago, compared to the early-established Three Palaces, the Nine Palaces are quite immature.

Their solidification power and adaptability are far inferior.

Moreover, the most important thing is that Jiang Li has extremely high prestige, his every word and action was like a sacred decree, and everyone would follow him blindly.

But I’m different, the people of the Nine Palaces don’t worship me to that extent.

....

"You, right now, hurry and soothe them."

"And pass on my words, that I am already aware of the current situation, just wait for my orders." Yue Ying said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" The middle-aged man in Black Armor departed.

...

Despite how calm Yue Ying appeared on the surface, he was already thinking about how to escape in his heart.

That’s right, his current focus is not on how to fight back, but how to escape!

As strong as the Three Palaces, as strong as Jiang Li, in front of the River Guardian, were as insignificant as fireflies, how could he resist?

To say the least, with his current abilities, he couldn’t even activate the "Heaven-Falling Array"!

.....

The commotion of the Gate of Divine Punishment grew larger.

He knew he couldn’t hesitate any longer.

He had to escape!

He tightly gripped the Realm Stone in his hand, preparing to use it to leave the Nine Palaces before the enemy made a move.

In actuality, he had thought about resisting.

But he had already witnessed the fate of the Three Palaces, resistance was utterly meaningless.

So, to leave with the Boundary Stone and promptly find the Master to find a way was the wisest decision.

With this in mind, Yue Ying transformed into a stream of light, rushing towards the void beyond.

Just as he was about to rush out of this world, he crashed into a very solid "barrier", and his entire body was sent flying.

This "barrier" perfectly sealed off all routes around him!

Realizing he could no longer escape, Yue Ying was dumbfounded in the void, his heart filled with despair. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

At this moment, the people of the Nine Palaces gazed up at him, their eyes filled with hopeful anticipation.

These eyes were too familiar, just like the eyes the people of the Three Palaces once used to look at Jiang Li, believing he could lead them to a way out.

.....

In the moment when Yue Ying was confused.

The Stone Sect suddenly stopped shaking.

The whole world fell silent at that moment.

Yue Ying stared intently at the Gate of Divine Punishment, as he sensed something emerging from within the Stone Sect!

In the next second, a pair of massive, intangible hands reached out from the Stone Sect.

The moment the intangible hands appeared, everyone felt their entire body stiffen, their breathing halted, and the blood within them ran uncontrollably wild, with some weaker cultivators’ bodies shattering on the spot.

Seeing these hands, Yue Ying’s face turned red with exertion, as the Spiritual Power within him started to spiral out of control.

Under the immense pressure, this world had begun to collapse, mountains fractured and crumbled, and space distorted and broke apart.

At this moment, Yue Ying finally realized why someone as strong as Jiang Li could only die meaninglessly, because in front of these hands, everything was futile!

In the next second, the hands reached for all of them.

As the hands descended, all the cultivators in the Nine Palaces turned into blood mist one by one, their souls and consciousness turned to ashes, vanishing completely into the air.

Until their deaths, they couldn’t utter a single scream, crushed like ants without warning.

Each of them could have been a formidable figure capable of shaking a region in the Great Worlds, but at this moment, they were nothing more than ants under an elephant’s feet.

When the hand was almost upon them, Yue Ying, being the one with the highest cultivation, was still standing there.

In the entire Ninth Hall, only Yue Ying remained.

Without even engaging in combat, it was already down to just him, this was not a war but rather a one-sided crushing, to the River Guardian it might have been akin to casually lifting a foot and crushing a bunch of ants.

Yue Ying looked at the hand pressing down on him and hopelessly closed his eyes.

At the moment of death, he finally understood why Jiang Li would go to die without care, even though it was meaningless.

But now he understood, at least Jiang Li had the courage to face it, leaving the Master a heroic image of sacrifice, unlike himself, who could only die underfoot.

The hand descended, Yue Ying turned into tiny specks of dust, completely vanishing into the void, and the world finally quieted down.

Thus, the Master of the Nine Halls was killed, and whatever legend he had left for the All Heavens and Myriad Realms no longer mattered. In the eyes of these beings, it was nothing more than child’s play.

Only ironically, until the moment he died, Yue Ying believed Jiang Li to be a loyal servant who would follow the Master into death unrelentingly!

......

Above the Long River.

To understand what kind of Magical Treasure the Stone Sect was, Su Mu used Divine Techniques, solidifying the vortex, then arrived at the Stone Sect, extending his right hand through it.

As his right hand passed through the Stone Sect, it seemed to touch another independent space.

Thereupon, he fumbled around inside the Stone Sect and finally grasped something.

He withdrew his right hand, looking at the stone in his hand, and asked confusedly, "What is this thing?"
