Battle Through the Heavens: My Grandfather is a Six-Star Dou Sheng

Chapter 87 The Soul Palace Takes the Blame Again

Deep within the Pill Tower, in a certain space, an elder with white hair sat with his eyes closed, his brows revealing a sense of vicissitude and majesty.

This elder was the one in the Pill Tower specifically responsible for guarding the Three Thousand Burning Flames.

Recently, he has sensed something unusual.

The Three Thousand Burning Flames, which had been raging endlessly within the star field like an untamed beast, have suddenly quieted down in recent days, as if they have fallen into a deep sleep.

The Three Thousand Burning Flames had settled down, which should have been a good thing, but the elder still felt uneasy.

The elder slowly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp as he looked towards the star field.

Unfortunately, there were layers of restrictions outside the star field, preventing him from seeing the situation of the Three Thousand Burning Flames inside.

His brow furrowed slightly, and a strange unease welled up inside him.

"These Three Thousand Burning Flames are extraordinary flames of heaven and earth, with a violent and untamed nature. Why have they suddenly become so quiet lately?" The elder pondered to himself, his gaze sweeping across the star field, trying to find a clue.

The news that the top ten in the Pill Gathering would have the opportunity to subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flames spread like wildfire throughout the Central Continent, sparking heated discussions and anticipation among countless people.

If anything were to happen to the Three Thousand Burning Flames at this moment, the reputation of the Pill Tower would certainly be damaged.

This is undoubtedly unacceptable for Danta, which has always been known for its reputation.

Danta dared not let its centuries-old reputation be ruined by a moment's carelessness.

Therefore, the elders of the Dan Tower began to intensify their guarding and protection of the Three Thousand Burning Flames, assigning elders to take turns on duty day and night to ensure the safety of the strange flames.

The elder on duty was a little panicked to be honest when he saw the unusual quietness of the Three Thousand Burning Flames.

Worried about potential accidents, the elder hurriedly contacted another elder on duty. After discussing it, the two decided to open the barrier together and enter the star field to take a look.

The moment they stepped into the star field, the surrounding void seemed to tremble slightly, and the starlight flowed through this space, illuminating the tense and solemn faces of the two.

However, unlike usual, they did not encounter a fierce attack from the Three Thousand Burning Flames after entering the star field this time.

The two exchanged a glance, a sense of unease rising within them.

They knew the temperament of the Three Thousand Burning Flames well; this strange fire was always unruly and would attack anyone who entered this place.

But now, they have not only escaped attack, but they haven't even seen a trace of the Three Thousand Burning Flames.

Realizing the situation was dire, the two elders split up and began searching for traces of the Three Thousand Burning Flames in the star field.

They traversed among the stars, their eyes sharp and unwavering, leaving no corner unchecked.

The star field is quite vast, and the Three Thousand Blazing Flames seem to have disappeared into this sea of ​​stars.

As time went on, the two grew increasingly anxious.

They searched almost every part of the star field, but still could not find any trace of the Three Thousand Burning Flames.

As a strange fire that absorbs the power of stars, the Three Thousand Burning Flames is closely related to this star field. It cannot leave easily, especially since there are layers of restrictions and blockades outside this star field, making it impossible for the Three Thousand Burning Flames to leave.

The two were filled with doubt and worry. They knew that if they could not find the Three Thousand Burning Flames as soon as possible, the punishment they would receive would be minor, but more importantly, the reputation of the Pill Tower would be severely damaged.

Knowing the importance of the Three Thousand Burning Flames, they decided to continue their search.

However, after carefully searching every part of the star field, they still could not find the Three Thousand Burning Flames.

The two elders looked at each other in bewilderment, their hearts filled with panic, and hurriedly went out to inform the three giants.

When the three giants of the Pill Tower learned that the Three Thousand Burning Flames had mysteriously disappeared, they were furious.

Xuan Kongzi angrily questioned, "How did you guard it? The Three Thousand Burning Flames are gone, and the restrictions have been broken. Why didn't you report it sooner?"

The two elders turned pale. One of them hurriedly explained, "President, the... the barrier has not been broken. We really didn't sense anyone breaking in."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Kongzi frowned, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He suspected that the elders might have failed to notice the anomaly in time due to dereliction of duty, and he was highly skeptical of the two elders' words.

Faced with Xuan Kongzi's questioning, one of the elders looked frightened and hurriedly defended himself, saying, "President, we really didn't lie. We didn't sense anyone breaking in, and the restrictions are intact."

Their voices trembled slightly, clearly indicating their deep fear.

The three leaders exchanged glances. Although they still had doubts, the elders' tense and fearful expressions seemed genuine.

So they decided to go to the star field themselves to see for themselves.

Within the star field, the three giants carefully inspected every corner after arriving, but the Three Thousand Burning Flames vanished without a trace, as if evaporated.

What shocked them even more was that the restriction was indeed intact, without any trace of damage.

This scene deepened the doubts in the hearts of the three giants, who dared not imagine what was going on.

After all, the restriction was specially set up by the Grand Elder, and its strength was enough to stop even a Dou Sheng powerhouse.

However, the fact that someone could now enter the star field silently and take away the Three Thousand Burning Flames was simply unbelievable to them.

Although the Three Thousand Burning Flames are powerful, they cannot break through the restrictions and escape.

Since the Three Thousand Burning Flames didn't run away on its own, it's only possible that someone came in and took it away.

This idea sent chills down the spines of the three giants.

The Grand Elder is a powerful two-star Dou Sheng. How could an ordinary person break his restrictions?

However, the facts were undeniable: someone had managed to infiltrate the star field and take away the Three Thousand Burning Flames without breaking the restrictions, which was beyond their wildest imagination.

This matter concerns Danta's reputation and status, so the three of them dared not be careless in the slightest.

So they hurried toward the Little Pill Tower to report to the Grand Elder.

When the Grand Elder heard this news, he was initially somewhat incredulous, but he also knew that the three of them wouldn't lie to him about this.

The three leaders exchanged glances and nodded. Xuan Kongzi stepped forward and said, "Elder, we suspect that the Soul Palace infiltrated the star field and stole the Three Thousand Burning Flames. The Soul Palace and our Pill Tower have always been at odds; they have both the motive and the capability to do so."

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder frowned.

He was naturally aware of the feud between the Soul Palace and the Pill Tower.

Moreover, he personally set up the restriction, and he was well aware of its power.

If we're talking about the ability to infiltrate the star field without breaking the restrictions, the only one the Grand Elder can think of is the Soul Palace.
