“Ah…” Tang Xitan exclaimed and then fell silent.

She had not been to Heaven’s Beyond, but she knew how strong the Sacred Dao Sect was there. Besides her, even the disciples of the entire Phoenix Clan were aware of this. Although the Sacred Dao Sect never bullied others, Tang Xitan knew that in Heaven’s Beyond, only the disciples of the Sacred Dao Sect bullied others and no one bullied them. The reason was very simple. It was because Dao Lord Ye was in the Sacred Dao Sect.

Even if they were not in the vicinity of Heaven’s Beyond now, they were definitely not far away. Since they were in the vicinity and the corpses of the Sacred Dao Sect’s disciples had been abandoned in the array foundation, it was evident that the changes in Heaven’s Beyond were far greater than she had known.

Both Tang Beiwei and Tang Xitan were silent. Apparently, Tang Beiwei also knew that this place was definitely near Heaven’s Beyond. In that case, since the Sacred Dao Sect’s disciples had been abandoned in the array foundation, it was obvious that something had happened to her elder brother or that he could not solve this problem.

If even her elder brother could not solve it, Tang Beiwei did not know who could.

After a long time, Tang Xitan said, “It’s no wonder that Nuo La from the Great Beginning Realm dared to say that he was going to merge all the realms of our realm with the Great Beginning Realm. It turns out that Heaven’s Beyond has run amok and reached this stage.”

“Sister Xitan, I want to go out right away to have a look. Why don’t…”

Tang Xitan knew very well what Tang Beiwei was going to say. Before Tang Beiwei could finish speaking, she interrupted her. “What are you talking about? Do you want me to wait here for you? Since we’re here, we’ll go together. The Phoenix Clan’s Sacred Lord Han Huang and Dao Lord Ye have a very close relationship. If Dao Lord Ye is in trouble, the Phoenix Clan will not be spared. Do you think I could hide here and have peace of mind?”

Tang Beiwei said quickly, “Sister Xitan, I don’t want you to hide. However, once the two of us are exposed, something will happen eventually and no one will be able to inform anyone outside.”

Tang Xitan laughed self-derisively. “In the past, there were still a few experts on our side of the realm. As for whether Dao Lord Ye can get out of this predicament, no one would dare to say anything. Now, he is very likely in trouble. Since even the Sacred Dao Sect’s disciples were killed and thrown into the array foundation, who do you think we can ask for help? So what if one of us stays here? Who do we inform then?”

A young man with thick willow-like eyebrows and a soft but clear face appeared in Tang Xitan’s head. That long jet-black hair and dark pair of eyes, which seemed to be able to peep at everything, made her feel at ease.

His eyes were obviously young but contained vicissitudes of life that had been experienced countless times. It seemed that everything was just that to him.

Right from the beginning, she had only felt that kind of relief around her elder brother. He was the second man who could make her feel so relieved deep inside. Furthermore, he was also like her elder brother, who had a saber that did not seem to be top-notch but was always behind his back.

That gave him a sense of freedom and fear.

His name was Di Jiu. In fact, she did not have a deeper relationship with Di Jiu than with Sister Xitan.

 
Perhaps…

Perhaps they could only ask him for help.

Tang Beiwei thought of that person but still eventually sighed. “Alright, Sister Xitan. We’ll go out together.”

In the end, she did not let Tang Xitan stay behind to inform Di Jiu. Perhaps, she knew that Di Jiu could not come or she did not want Di Jiu to take the risk. If even her elder brother was in trouble, wouldn’t she be harming Di Jiu by getting him to go there?

If Di Jiu could come alone one day, he should be able to help her.

…

Just like Tang Beiwei had mentioned, not only could her Realm-Breaking Array Disc break open a realm, but it could also break apart the Defense Array easily.

When the array disc was activated, a soft white light simply ripped apart the tight array foundation. The two of them made use of this light to step out of the array foundation before they landed outside it.

What surprised Tang Beiwei and Tang Xitan was that they actually appeared in a hall where there were nine huge columns. Surrounded by these nine beams was an altar, which was evidently where the sacrificial array was.

Instantly, Tang Beiwei and Tang Xitan understood why there were so many corpses under that array foundation. It turned out that these corpses had been sacrificed there. The Sacred Dao Sect was in danger, as someone had dared to sacrifice its disciples to this major array.

A cultivator whose cultivation level was only at the Dao Transformation Realm was sitting in a corner of the hall. When this Dao Transformation cultivator saw Tang Xitan and Tang Beiwei come out of the array foundation, he almost thought that he had seen wrong.

After a short while, he reacted by screaming, “Someone broke into the array!”

Then, the Dao Transformation cultivator hit the alarm on his side.

Tang Xitan and Tang Beiwei understood at the same time that their experience was too poor. If they had been more experienced, they should have killed this Dao Transformation cultivator immediately. Even if they had not, they would at least have stopped the other party from activating the alarm.

Even though this Dao Transformation cultivator was a bit far from them, they would definitely have a chance to kill the other party before he reacted if they made a move immediately because of the huge difference between their cultivation levels.

Unfortunately, this chance instantly vanished because of their momentary hesitation.

“Beiwei, let’s leave quickly.” Knowing that they had lost their chance, Tang Xitan pulled Tang Beiwei and rushed out of the hall.

“You’re leaving like that after breaking into the Defense Array of Heaven’s Beyond?” When Tang Beiwei and Tang Xitan had just rushed out of the hall, a cold voice rang beside their ears. Then, a man in white appeared in their Spiritual Force.

This was definitely a half-step Dao Integration expert. Despair welled in Tang Beiwei and Tang Xitan. They were only at the early-stage Primordial Chaos, so they were nothing against a half-step Dao Integration expert. Besides, they saw two late-stage Primordial Chaos experts behind him.

Tang Beiwei did not take a look at the half-step Dao Integration expert who had rushed before her. Her Spiritual Force landed on the street, where there were quite a few cultivators. However, this was far from the unusually lively Heaven’s Beyond.

Hundreds of cultivators watched from far with sympathy in their eyes. Clearly, they all knew what the outcome of breaking into the Nine-Bead Array of Heaven’s Beyond would be. Knowing that there was no way to survive, Tang Beiwei did not hesitate to rush into the crowd of the spectating cultivators.

 
“Leaving?” When Tang Beiwei rushed into the crowd, a huge handprint grabbed her. Against this Divine Essence handprint, Tang Beiwei struggled to take a few steps.

…

Arriving at Heaven’s Beyond and taking Tang Beiwei and Tang Xitan away had only taken a few dozens of seconds.

The surrounding cultivators lowered their heads, not daring to look at Tang Beiwei and Tang Xitan, who were taken away. A petite female cultivator lowered her head in horror and shrank into the crowd until the top-notch expert in white took away Tang Beiwei and Tang Xitan before she dared to lift her head and look at her surroundings nervously.

After ensuring there was nobody around, the petite female cultivator hurriedly retreated.

When she arrived in her small house, she heaved a sigh of relief, set up a restriction, and took out the thing in her palm.

The thing in her palm was just a small jade slip. A line of words was written on it: If a cultivator called Di Jiu with a saber on his back comes to Heaven’s Beyond one day, tell him that we were captured. Tang Beiwei. He can help you easily reach Dao Modeling or even Dao Birth.
