Chapter 231 The Missing, the Treasure Vault
Now he couldn't do anything, so he could only put the small silver ball back in his palm.
"Young friend, why are you so determined to find the Heavenly Court?"
"That's what Li Jie said."
"Oh? So, young friend Li knows the location of the Heavenly Court?"
"do not know."
"Oh...I see..."
At this point, even the Emperor of Fengdu was at a loss, as this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
Who could blame them when this young man in black was the only exception in the history of the Great Xia Dynasty?
Just as he was undecided, an old man dressed in plain clothes crossed the void and slowly appeared in front of the two of them.
Upon seeing the newcomer, the Emperor of Fengdu flicked his imperial robes, bowed respectfully, and spoke.
"The Lord of the Underworld greets the Celestial Venerable."
Yuanshi Tianzun waved his hand, indicating that there was no need for formalities. Then, he looked with interest at Zhou Ping, the Red Dust Sword Immortal, who was standing opposite the Fengdu Emperor.
"let me see......"
"Primordial laws? Neither bad nor bad..."
Upon getting closer, the Celestial Venerable also noticed something amiss; he sensed a familiar fluctuation emanating from Zhou Ping.
"It seems that Young Friend Zhou has already met with Young Friend Li."
Indeed, as the strongest of the five human beings in the Great Xia Dynasty, Zhou Ping was naturally recognized by the Primordial Celestial Venerable.
That familiar fluctuation naturally came from the unique power of the laws of heaven and earth emanating from Li Jie.
"If the Li Xiaoyou you are referring to is Li Jie, then we have met."
"Can you take me to the Heavenly Court?"
"You want to go to Heaven?"
"At first I didn't want to, but Li Jie insisted that I go and register."
Upon hearing Zhou Ping's voice, Yuanshi Tianzun looked in astonishment at Fengdu Emperor, whose face showed a helpless expression.
Subsequently, the Celestial Venerable tried his best to persuade the stubborn Zhou Ping with words that were easy to understand.
"You can go to the Heavenly Court if you want, but you don't need to report. Our Great Xia God lineage really doesn't have that many rules and regulations."
"Oh, then I won't go."
"No...that won't do..."
Upon hearing the Celestial Venerable say that there was indeed no need to report, Zhou Ping also gave up the idea of searching for the Heavenly Court.
It would be more appropriate for me to come from the human world or to go back to the human world.
"In that case, I have a question for you, young friend Zhou."
"Excuse me."
"Where is my young friend Li now?"
"They must have gone to western Xinjiang."
"Then that's it..."
Upon hearing Zhou Ping's answer, the Celestial Venerable revealed an expression that said, "I knew it."
He was repairing the Heavenly Court's origin when he suddenly sensed a strong divine power fluctuation in the Western Frontier Secret Realm. When he rushed there, he discovered that the ancient city-state hidden underground, where the Immortal-Slaying Sword nurtured its sword intent, had reappeared in the world.
When he arrived at the bell tower, he discovered that the crimson immortal sword that should have been floating above the incense burner had vanished.
This made him realize that things were not going well.
After sensing the remaining aura within this space, he discovered the fluctuations of two extraterrestrial deities possessing different laws of power.
In addition, there are the sword intents of the Immortal Trapping Sword and the Immortal Severing Sword.
Now, the Celestial Venerable's brows furrowed even more deeply.
He flashed into the sky and waved his hand, creating a perception barrier covering an area of hundreds of kilometers.
Unfortunately, apart from a few superhumans and mysterious auras from abroad, he sensed nothing else.
In other words...
Li Jie was likely brought into the mist by some extraterrestrial deity through some means...
This is one of the reasons why the Celestial Venerable inquired about Li Jie's whereabouts.
"Is there something you need to talk to him about? I can have Ye Fan contact him."
“You can give it a try, but... I doubt you can answer the phone right now.”
........
"What? Okay, I understand."
After receiving Zhou Ping's call, Ye Fan immediately called Li Jie.
But all I heard from the receiver was a busy signal.
The only thing that could explain why Li Jie was provided with such a state-of-the-art satellite phone was that if he still couldn't get through, there was only one possibility.
That means Li Jie is currently outside the signal radiation range of Da Xia.
After having this conjecture, Ye Fan immediately informed Zhou Ping of the news.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Fan slumped back into his office chair, feeling utterly exhausted.
"Where could this kid be going?"
.........
Asgard, outside the main temple.
Li Jie stood facing off against Thor.
Thor did not actually discover Li Jie, who was hidden in the void.
But this is, after all, within the realm of the gods in the outer world, so it's always good to be careful.
About half an hour later, Thor, who had not noticed any other unusual fluctuations, frowned and muttered to himself.
"Strange, I clearly sensed some unusual fluctuations in Loki's cell just now, but why did nothing follow...?"
"Could it be that I've been too busy lately, and my senses are acting up?"
Shaking his head, unable to get a definite answer, Thor reinforced the divine barrier imprisoning Loki, then swung Mjolnir and flew back into the main hall.
In the void, Li Jie slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that even a god of Thor's caliber couldn't see through Xiao Jue's stealth ability.
Therefore, as things stand, as long as he remains hidden in the void, he is safe for the time being.
Thinking about this, a bold idea suddenly popped into Li Jie's mind.
Now that we are here......
How about... we go and take a look at the treasure vaults of the gods in Asgard?
Anyway, idle is idle!
With this thought in mind, Li Jie, grinning mischievously, followed Thor's figure and flew away.
..........
Daxia, Anta County, outside Fengdu City.
"It can now be confirmed that Li Xiaoyou has indeed gone missing."
After listening to Zhou Ping's description, Yuanshi Tianzun stroked his beard and slowly spoke.
"Before coming here, I went to Xinjiang, where I sensed two different divine energies, one from India and the other from Asgard."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ping turned and walked away without the slightest hesitation.
"Young friend Zhou, where are you going?"
"I'll go and bring Li Jie back."
"But do you know where he is?"
"No need to know, just go and find them one by one."
Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun chuckled and nodded slightly as he watched the black-clad youth walk away.
"As expected of the sons of our Great Xia, even their words are so domineering!"
"Heavenly Venerable, shouldn't we stop him? That's a divine kingdom beyond our realm. Not to mention anything else, the gods lurking in their respective divine domains are not someone he can defeat alone."
“I know, so… I don’t plan to let him go by himself.”
