Abyss of Heavenly Fire.
This was already the tenth day since Xue An had entered.
Throughout these ten days, Zhong Anan and all the members of the Taiyin Deity Clan had not moved an inch from the defensive line in front of the Abyss.
But as time passed, the atmosphere became heavier and heavier.
The crowd gathered before the Abyss of Heavenly Fire not only didn’t decrease, but it grew larger and larger.
After all, the events that had taken place in Heavenly Fire City during these ten days had already sent shockwaves throughout the entire four corners of the cosmos.
Xue An, with his own power, had annihilated the Heavenly Fire, Ancient Sword, and Wu Tong—three major deity clans. Such strength was enough to shock and awe all those who heard of it.
Therefore, many powerful figures who hadn’t come before rushed over upon hearing the news.
After all, Xue An was now indisputably the most prominent figure in both Tian Zhao Realm and the four corners of the cosmos.
If one showed any negligence, they might well face destruction.
With this in mind, strong figures from all sides arrived daily.
But now, a full ten days had passed.
Yet inside the Abyss of Heavenly Fire, all was calm as usual.
This inevitably caused the crowd to become increasingly restless.
"Hey, do you think something has happened to Xue An inside the Abyss of Heavenly Fire?" someone whispered in a low voice.
"Who knows, but I think it’s indeed doubtful. After all, the Heavenly Fire Divine Clan has operated the Abyss of Heavenly Fire for ten thousand years—who knows what traps they’ve set up inside! Xue An is strong, no doubt, but who could say he wouldn’t fall into an ambush?" Someone else analyzed quietly.
Hearing this person’s words, many people nodded in agreement.
"That’s right! Although the Heavenly Fire Divine Clan was annihilated by Xue An alone, he is still just one person, and no one knows the actual situation inside. Maybe he fell into an ambush and never returned."
"Tsk tsk, young people are indeed too impulsive! If he hadn’t gone to the Abyss of Heavenly Fire, he’d probably have ascended to the supreme position of this world by now! But he ended up stubbornly seeking his own death, how amusing!" someone said, taking pleasure in disaster.
"I hope he is truly dead. In that case, it would benefit us immensely!" someone suddenly said in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, but a gleam of greed flashed through their eyes.
Indeed!
Now that the Heavenly Fire, Ancient Sword, and Wu Tong—the three great divine clans—had fallen, and Tian Zhao Court had been destroyed.
It could be said that the Tian Zhao Realm, along with the four corners of the cosmos, had experienced a power vacuum not seen in ten thousand years.
If Xue An were truly dead, these surviving noble forces could take advantage of the vacuum and seize the opportunity to reap territories.
Thus, almost all of them were silently hoping that Xue An would never return.
As if sensing these people’s prayers,
Another day had passed.
Inside the Abyss of Heavenly Fire, all remained quiet, without the slightest anomaly.
This caused the crowd’s restlessness to grow even more intense.
So much so that the way many people looked at Zhong Anan and her group began to change.
Naturally, Zhong Anan was well aware of this.
But this time, she didn’t panic at all.
After a series of ordeals, she had developed an almost blind trust in Xue An.
She even felt that there was nothing and no one in the world that could stump Xue An.
Hearing Zhong Anan’s words, Dong Xiong chuckled slyly, "Seems like Clan Leader Zhong is out of the loop! I’m now the Fort Master of the Flying Dragon Sect!"
"Oh? Congratulations then!" Zhong Anan replied casually, "So, what brings you here, Fort Master Dong?"
Dong Xiong saw Zhong Anan’s indifferent attitude and his gaze turned slightly cold, but the smile on his face remained unchanged as he continued to nod and bow.
"Clan Leader Zhong, as you can see, we have been waiting here for a good ten-plus days without any word from the master. Perhaps you could try to contact him? After all, to keep waiting like this... when will it ever end?"
His words were extremely polite.
But anyone with a clear eye could tell it was just an excuse.
Dong Xiong was clearly trying to put pressure on the Taiyin Deity Clan.
If Zhong Anan admitted she was unable to contact Xue An, the situation would definitely worsen.
And if Zhong Anan claimed she could contact Xue An, then Dong Xiong would surely follow up, demanding a specific return date from her.
In one sentence, he effectively blocked all of Zhong Anan’s avenues of retreat, a truly vicious move.
At least many people behind him smirked with interest, curious to see how Zhong Anan would deal with this situation.
Zhong Anan fell silent.
A hint of satisfaction and relief rose in Dong Xiong’s heart.
As the current Fort Master of the Flying Dragon Sect, he harbored deep hatred for Xue An, who had directly annihilated his brother.
But if Xue An were here now, he wouldn’t dare utter a single extra word, even if it killed him.
However, now that Xue An had not returned, he was convinced that Xue An’s odds were slim.
He jumped at the opportunity, eager to gain attention by playing this card.
