Chapter 247: Impressing The immortals

The woman in the dark red armor retreated, hovering in mid-air, deeply feeling the chill. She couldn't even break into the residence of a worldly family? She was uncertain, wondering what exactly was in that grand garden-style architectural complex. Were there any surviving monsters, or was she overthinking?

She remained silent for a long time, not daring to act rashly, staring intently at the depths of the Sun family compound, extremely envious. Not even her own master had ever obtained such treasures. A worldly family possessing such heaven-defying artifacts, it made her want to annihilate the Sun family and seize them immediately!

"What's going on, the bell rang by itself!" Inside the Sun family, the high-ranking members were somewhat nervous. They were mortals and couldn't see the silver bell glowing in the night or the magnificent sight of its ripples. However, when the bell rang, they could hear it and were aware of the bell's importance. It was with this bell that they had captured Mr. Ghost in the past.

But now, without the supernatural Sun Rongting to oversee, they felt slightly uneasy. "First, replenish the supernatural materials in the two secret vaults," Sun Rongsheng instructed. Those materials were harvested and cold-pressed from the air in the secret land, normally used to nourish their ancient artifacts.

At that moment, a secret report came from outer space: one of their resource planets was under attack. The expressions of the Sun family's high-ranking members changed. Someone was attacking the Sun family?

"Which planet?" someone asked with a heavy expression.

"Yuanxia Star!" came the grave reply.

"What?!" Sun Rongsheng, Sun Chengkun, and other core members abruptly stood up, their faces looking grim. Yuan Xia Star, only a few light-years from New Star, was a relatively close resource planet with abundant mineral resources, including rare metals for making warships. Although called a resource planet, it actually housed one of their secret military bases, small in scale but directly under the Sun family's control and highly reliable.

"Most likely it's Grant's doing, taking revenge for his granddaughter!" Sun Rongsheng said, sighing. Last time, they had destroyed Yuan Chi Mountain using warships from outside the domain. Grant must have been convinced it was the Sun family's doing, so he destroyed those three warships.

"They've gone too far, destroying one of our small bases. Are they looking for a war?" someone grumbled discontentedly. After more than a century of rivalry and competition, they had always been in a position of strength, holding a psychological advantage over the West.

"In these extraordinary times, we should refrain from acting rashly," another voiced, suggesting a cautious approach. "Let's wait for Grant's explanation. I don't think he wants to completely sever ties..."

...

The woman in the dark red armor, Yuan Hong, made another attempt at an assault. She released a deep red beam of light from the divine seal in her hand and swiftly retreated.

She observed from afar, checking to see if anyone was activating the divine artifact.

In the depths of the Sun family compound, the silver bell rippled magnificently. In the eyes of the supernatural beings, it was an exquisite work of art, a masterpiece.

With a loud bang, the bell waves scattered the red beam and counterattacked towards Yuan Hong, who quickly fled.

"No one in sight," Yuan Hong muttered to herself, her eyes burning with intensity as she stared at the bell.

The Soul-Locking Bell, its former owner had been exceptionally powerful, a formidable figure even in the celestial realm behind the veil. However, he died about two hundred years ago.

The bell, now ownerless, wouldn't bring significant karmic consequences even if the Celestials were to return.

Only after the bell's sound had faded did she dare to approach again, frowning. She realized the irony of her situation she, a mighty supernatural being, couldn't even confront a mortal family? The times had indeed changed.

In fact, Yuan Hong, clad in the dark red armor, believed that retaliating against the Sun family was far less important than obtaining legendary items like the Soul-Locking Bell and the God-Slaying Flag.

During the night, no significant figures from the Sun family came out, so she didn't make a move. She quietly observed, scrutinizing every detail of the Sun family's compound.

She waited until the early morning when some direct members of the Sun family emerged. She immediately killed two of them. Then, she chased down a spacecraft leaving the area and eliminated a high-ranking member of the Sun family.

"What?!" Inside the Sun family, there was shock. They immediately ordered that important members should not leave, feeling a sense of dread.

A supernatural being was targeting the direct lineage of the Sun family. The method was very peculiar; it wasn't a normal way to die.

"What's happening? Are there still supernatural beings we haven't eliminated? Or is it possible that Wang Xuan survived and is attacking us again?"

The Sun family was in a state of tension, facing a calculated assassination with clear targeting.

"Even Clarisse and Hans Solo died. Logically, Wang Xuan, who was also present, shouldn't have survived either. Who is seeking revenge against us?"

"It's not Chen Yongjie; he's far away from us at the moment. Is it Wang Xuan, whose spirit is still lingering? Or has a new supernatural being appeared?"

Wang Xuan, without projecting his spirit into the Sun family compound, captured their thought waves when non-essential members left the house. He was speechless for a moment, finding himself in a situation of almost being blamed for the situation.

"The Celestials are so useless. Can't they intervene more effectively in the mortal realm?" Wang Xuan criticized internally, truly feeling anxious for them.

After Yuan Hong's repeated attempts and further probing, waiting for a long time without any supernatural force eroding her, she confirmed that there were no guardians in the Sun family's secret vault. What was so peculiar about it? She turned to leave, unable to break in with her spiritual form, ready to report back that there were treasures here that even the Celestials behind the veil would covet.

Back at the site of the former Mount Yuanqi, where the lava had already solidified, leaving a deep canyon in place of the mountain. There, in a cavern carved out of the ground, was the vague figure of the man who had appeared in the headless idol two days ago. He had actually made it to the mortal world!

His form was even more indistinct now, without a real body. On that stormy night, amidst the blood-red lightning, he was sent here by a supreme being. He paid a heavy price for this - his strength drastically reduced, his soul damaged - but it was a stroke of luck that he survived at all. Normally, attempting to return from the Celestial realm to the mortal world meant a 90% chance of turning to ash.

The woman bowed to him, her expression serious, "The Soul-Locking Bell is in the Sun family's possession!"

"This... The bell has appeared?" The man was startled, realizing that the bell must be secured and not left in the hands of mortals.

"And the lost God-Slaying Flag from ancient times is also there, in the Sun family's secret vault!" she informed him solemnly.

"What?!" The man was shocked. Such legendary items reappearing in an era when the supernatural was in decline was indeed strange.

"I didn't want to use my true bone, but now it seems I have no choice. Otherwise, as a soul form, I can't even get close to those items."

He had planned to visit the Sun family that night in his spiritual form, intending to destroy their base. Now, it seemed that without using his true bone, even he would suffer a great loss.

"It's quite exciting, really. In an era when myths have decayed, to see treasures that have been lost for so long."

The man decided to take immediate action.
