Fairy, listen to my explanation.

Chapter 668 Cracks
The Great Qin Immortal Kingdom.

This place not only boasts the Qin Emperor, hailed as the first emperor, whose national strength far surpasses that of the other eight immortal kingdoms.

Martial domain.

Although located on the edge of the Great Qin Immortal Kingdom, it is comparable to the two major palace domains of the Great Yan Immortal Kingdom.

Domain Lord Qin Lingyue is one of the princesses of the Great Qin royal family. Her ability to become the lord of a domain is not only due to her status, but also because of the majesty brought by her iron-fisted methods and her strength as a giant in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Domain Lord's Mansion.

Qin Lingyue wore an ice-blue long dress, her long black hair was casually tied with a blue ribbon, and her smooth hair fell down along the beautiful curves, exuding a sense of otherworldly elegance. A purple belt was tied around her waist, outlining a charming curve.

Her aura was like an ancient iceberg, making people only dare to look at her from afar and not dare to approach her.

"Hasn't it been found out who did this yet?"

Qin Lingyue had an aloof expression, like a lotus flower in the snow. Her voice was clear and cold, giving people a chilling feeling just by listening to it.

"Your Highness, the cultivators from both cities seem to have vanished into thin air. For the time being... we have not found any useful traces."

Before him, a cultivator at the Lotus Platform Realm bowed his head and replied respectfully.

"Neither of the two guest advisors have sent back any news?"

Qin Lingyue glanced at him coldly, and when she saw the latter nod in fear, she frowned slightly, clearly dissatisfied with the efficiency of her subordinates.

The two cities and the surrounding immortal sects have at least two or three hundred thousand cultivators!

However, overnight, these two areas were almost turned into dead zones, with not a single person to be seen.

Even more strangely, the city's and the immortal sect's formations showed no signs of damage, nor were there any traces of battles fought to resist a powerful enemy's invasion.

As a master of the Foundation Establishment Realm, Qin Lingyue did not believe in the possibility of disappearing into thin air.

The fact that the formation was intact indicates that the person who secretly intervened was far more powerful than any cultivator from the immortal sects.

However, if it was truly the work of a Dao Building Realm expert, it's impossible that the Martial Domain's guest elders wouldn't have found any trace of it.

As for whether it was a half-saint realm expert who made the move?
Qin Lingyue had considered this possibility, but it was simply too far-fetched to believe.

The Half-Saint Realm is comparable to the Emperor of an Immortal Kingdom. In fact, some ancient clans may lose a Half-Saint Realm leader due to a lack of successors.

Every being at the Half-Saint Realm enjoys a prestigious reputation throughout the Immortal Kingdom Continent and would not do such a thing.

Moreover, this is the Great Qin Immortal Kingdom, with the First Emperor Qin Emperor presiding over it. Which half-saint would dare to be so blind as to come and commit such a massacre?
Qin Lingyue personally took out the communication stone and inquired with the two guest elders who had gone to investigate, but the result was not satisfactory.

Three days later.

In the Martial Domain, another city and cultivators from the immortal sects within a radius of a hundred miles have gone missing.

Just like the previous two times, this time it involves an even wider range!

Qin Lingyue, as the domain lord, could no longer hold back and personally went to investigate.

However, neither using pupil techniques nor having a master with profound spiritual power personally investigate could uncover anything unusual.

Just like before, the city and the immortal sect's formations remained intact, without any trace of a major battle. The cultivators throughout the region seemed to have been struck by an irresistible force, vanishing without a trace.

"Om..."

Qin Lingyue stood in mid-air, her long hair fluttering in the wind, and a chilling aura emanated from her body.

Below it is the Immortal Sect, ranked third in the Martial Domain.

As the chill spread, the entire Immortal Sect territory was covered with a layer of frost.

The power of ice-attribute Daoist energy searched every inch of the entire space, leaving no corner untouched.

"call out!"

Finally, Qin Lingyue seemed to sense something was wrong, and suddenly appeared at the summit of the Immortal Sect's main peak.

Amidst the biting cold wind, there is a space that is somewhat different from its surroundings.

“Spatial fluctuations? Was there a spatial rift here?” Qin Lingyue’s pupils shrank, and his expression suddenly became serious.

A spatial rift means that the person who made the move must be at least a half-saint realm being who controls the power of origin, only then could they possibly tear space apart.

However, she did not sense any trace of the primordial power.

Although Qin Lingyue was arrogant, she dared not be careless when it came to matters concerning the Half-Saint Realm, and immediately reported the matter.

The next day.

A heavy, oppressive aura appeared between heaven and earth.

"Elder Chu, Elder Kong."

Qin Lingyue concealed her aura and bowed to the air in front of her.

"Your Highness, there's no need for you to be so polite."

A powerful voice rang out, and a burst of light and shadow swept in, with two figures appearing in mid-air in front of him.

The person in front had long black hair, a tall and strong body, and an undeniable air of majesty between his brows. With his appearance, the spiritual energy in the world fluctuated violently, and a mysterious aura lingered around him, making people feel awe.

This person is none other than Qin Chu, one of the half-saints of the royal family of the Great Qin Immortal Kingdom.

Beside him was a man in a white robe, tall and slender, with a golden mark between his brows. His gaze was deep and unfathomable, as if a single glance from him would draw one's soul into it, making him appear exceptionally eerie.

This person is Kong Huan, an elder of the Kong family of the ancient clan and a master of formations whose spiritual power has reached the mid-stage of the Subtle Realm.

"Your Highness has worked hard. You can leave the rest to me and Elder Chu."

Kong Huan returned the greeting slightly and said.

If he were merely the ruler of a region, he wouldn't need to be so polite. However, since the other party was a royal princess, the proper etiquette was essential.

"Thank you for your trouble, Elder Kong."

Qin Lingyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The arrival of the half-saint realm elder and the ancient clan elder was like a reassurance to her.

Qin Chu glanced down, his expression turning slightly gloomy.

Just as the intelligence had predicted, the entire region had lost its former prosperity. In their senses, there were only a few scattered figures, perhaps those who had arrived recently.

In the territory of the Great Qin Immortal Kingdom, there are still people who dare to commit such heinous killings; their crimes are truly unforgivable.

In just a few breaths, Qin Chu's gaze fell upon that space.

"It really is a spatial fluctuation."

Qin Chu frowned, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.

Although two days had passed, he could still sense that faint fluctuation.

"Hey, what is this?"

A glint of light appeared in Qin Chu's hand, and upon examination, he was shocked to find that his own Daoist power was being devoured.

"Perhaps the spatial rift hasn't fully healed yet?"

Elder Kong's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his vast spiritual power surged forth as he probed the space that Qin Chu had pointed out inch by inch.

Suddenly, his expression changed drastically, and he shuddered violently as if struck by a heavy blow.

Elder Kong!

Qin Chu's expression changed slightly, and an invisible force supported the latter.

However, at this moment, Kong Huan's face was as pale as paper, and his mental energy seemed somewhat scattered.
