Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1820: Chapter 582: The Whole Story, The Lord Has Gone Missing (Part 2)

“Future Xiahou Xuan said he’s already met me, which means my arrival here was fated, and Xue Kong is merely the catalyst. Whether he’s present or not, I was destined to come here, which also means…”

Xia Yulong’s tone suddenly turned melancholic, and her anger towards Qing Yue dissipated in an instant, evidently because she realized something.

Qing Yue knew that silence was of no use and softly said, “Princess, the King indeed arrived before Qing Yue and I jumped into the Blood Pool. He should have had the power to stop you from coming, but he didn’t do so. Earlier, Qing Yue and I couldn’t understand why, but now we know. Before Qing Yue and I jumped into the Blood Pool, we heard the King say…”

At this, she paused, then looked at Xia Yulong with a hint of empathy, saying, “The King said that once Ancestor Xue Kong opened the Blood Pool and connected the two timelines, the future became irreversible, and nothing you do will change that.”

After a moment of silence, Xia Yulong’s face showed a trace of desolation.

This meant her birth was destined, Wei Bo’s destruction, her biological mother Li Baobao’s final suicide – none of it could be changed.

“I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it, I’ve already stopped their first meeting, and got Father to find the Gold in advance. With the Gold from Panlong Palace, Great Xia’s power would soon soar, and in a few years, it could crush the Four Vassals. How could Wei Bo contend with Great Xia for so many years…”

Xia Yulong’s face was full of reluctance, murmuring continuously, clearly fixated and unwilling to accept that the future would still follow the predetermined path.

“Hmm, no, it’s Ancestor Xue Kong’s aura…”

While in a constant struggle within, she suddenly sensed an energy wave, quickly turning her head toward the direction of Chilong Lake, her pupils becoming suspicious and uncertain.

“Princess forgot, Ancestor Xue Kong’s lair is just south of Moao River in Blood Miasma Plain. During this period, he hasn’t been driven away by the Lord yet. He can connect two timelines and allure the Princess here for sure with a conspiracy!”

The conspiracy is even easy to guess.

They followed Xia Yulong through the timeline, and that night, Wei Bo Town was breached by the Xia Army, and the princess’s mother Li Baobao committed suicide at the Government. Ancestor Xue Kong, who had hidden in Wei Bo for years, was heavily injured by the King, just a step away from death.

At the point of death, deceiving the dazed Xia Yulong to travel to this timeline was evidently a self-rescue attempt by Ancestor Xue Kong.

How could Ancestor Xue Kong save himself?

It’s obvious; unable to contend with the future King, he could only seek to resolve this period when the King wasn’t yet that strong.

Hence, the conspiracy is clearly targeting King Xia Hong.

But as per the King’s words, from the moment Ancestor Xue Kong connected two timelines, the future was already irreversible, so naturally, his self-saving action couldn’t succeed.

Figuring this point out, Qing Yue, even after sensing Ancestor Xue Kong’s aura, shows no change in her expression.

In her heart, King Xia Hong directly equates to a deity, even though he hasn’t fully matured. Dealing with Ancestor Xue Kong, merely a calamity-level Divine Evil, is effortless.

“No, no, just for a moment, Ancestor Xue Kong didn’t come. This aura belongs to the Dark Realm, and it opened the Dark Realm entrance!”

Xia Yulong shivered slightly, and a Gilded Crown appeared instantly above her head. The crown was adorned with thirteen blue Jade Pearls, seemingly sensing something, suddenly starting to dim. As the aura intensified, its dimming speed dramatically increased until it converted entirely into black.

Not ordinary black, but a dark shade with a jade texture. On the outside, the pearl clearly contains a large amount of gas brewing, faintly even beginning to emanate.

“Certainly it’s the Dark Realm. The Thirteen All Heaven Divine Slaughter Beads can sense all fluctuations from the Otherworldly. Xue Kong intends to draw Father into the Dark Realm…”

“The Dark Realm!”

Upon hearing this, Qing Yue’s face changed dramatically, exclaiming, “The King now only has Xianyang level cultivation! Entering the Dark Realm at this time would be…”

A dead end!

Due to inherent reverence and zeal for Xia Hong, Qing Yue couldn’t say these four words aloud.

But Xia Yulong couldn’t afford to continue listening, evidently realizing the danger to Xia Hong entering the Dark Realm at this period, she flew swiftly toward Chilong Lake almost instinctively.

“Princess, wait for me!”

The Qing Yue sisters didn’t dare delay, hurriedly following behind her, but they were far too slow, unable to catch up. They could only watch Xia Yulong arrive first above Chilong Lake.

And at this moment, on the ice surface of Chilong Lake, led by Li Xuanling, the people of Great Xia were already panicking.

“This, this gold palace is getting smaller and smaller…”

“The Lord hasn’t come out yet!”

“It was palm-sized just now, but now it’s only thumb-sized.”

“It’s already indistinct and turned into a speck of light; soon it’ll be invisible.”

“Can’t disappear; the Lord is still inside! What do we do?”

………

On hearing the sounds around her, Li Xuanling, usually calm, also showed a trace of panic in her pupils.

Because that golden palace under the water, which had always been normal since her exit, was now visibly shrinking.

Xia Hong hadn’t come out yet!

Li Xuanling was brought into the palace by Li Longyu and the other two. She was clear that the palace only seemed underwater, but it was an Exotic Space, at most connected somewhat to Chilong Lake’s waters.
