Chapter 1598 Sect Leaders of the Three Grand Sects


    A whole week has passed since Yuan was transported to the Primal Expanse. During this time, Xi Meili remained at the Endless Beast Den, anxiously waiting for Yuan to return.


    Kn went to speak with Senior Bai and exined the situation to him. Unsurprisingly, Senior Bai was extremely upset to hear this news. "Forgive me, Senior Bai. I have failed my mission." Kn lowered his head and apologized.


    Senior Bai didn''t respond for a long time before sighing, "You''re not at fault. I doubt I would be able to prevent it even if I were right beside him. Also, nobody could''ve expected a rift to appear. Follow me."


    "Are we going to…?" Kn swallowed nervously and asked.


    Senior Bai nodded, confirming his suspicions, "Yes, we''re going to speak with the Celestial Overlord."


    Sometimeter, Senior Bai and Kn stood before Xu Jiaqi, who was sitting behind her desk that was stacked with mountains of papers.


    "Didn''t you just leave?" Xu Jiaqi spoke without even looking at them.


    Senior Bai responded, "Sorry, but this is urgent."


    "I''ve been hearing that word a lottely. What is it this time?"


    Senior Bai turned to look at Kn, his gaze gesturing to Kn to do the speaking for obvious reasons.


    Kn took a deep breath before falling to his knees and kowtowing.


    "Due to my ipetence, Yuan, who I had been tasked to watch over, was swallowed by a rift!" he spoke in a shouting voice.


    However, Xu Jiaqi merely raised an eyebrow and muttered, "A rift? What rift?"


    "The ones that rarely appear when an Infinite Beast Spawn is destroyed…" Kn rified.


    "What?! How did that happen?!" Xu Jiaqi eximed.


    "This is what happened…" Kn proceeded to recall everything that led to Yuan being swallowed by the rift.


    Xu Jiaqi wore a deep frown on her face throughout the entire thing.


    "And that''s how Yuan entered the rift…"


    Once Kn was done, a profound silence filled the room.


    After a long moment of silence, Xu Jiaqi stood up and began walking to the exit. Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    "Where are you going?" Senior Bai inquired.


    "I''m going to speak with an expert. Then, I am going to head down to the Fourth Heaven," she said.


    "Don''t take this the wrong way, but even if we go down there, what can we do? Nobody has ever returned from the other side." Senior Bai shook his head.


    "..." Xu Jiaqi halted her movement after hearing his words.


    A momentter, she walked out of the room without responding.


    Senior Bai looked at Kn, who appeared to be on the verge of tears from fear, and said, "Let''s go."


    "Where…?" he asked.


    "The Fourth Heaven."


    While Xu Jiaqi disappeared somewhere, Senior Bai and Kn made their way to the Fourth Heaven. However, due to Senior Bai''s identity and position within the Celestial Overlords, more work and effort were required before he could be permitted to enter the Fourth Heaven.


    Upon arriving at the Endless Beast Den, Senior Bai was surprised to see many experts there.


    "The Three Grand Sects, huh? How are they involved?" Senior Bai asked Kn.


    Kn didn''t go into detail and only recalled the important parts when he exined the situation, so Senior Bai wasn''t aware the Three Grand Sects were involved.


    "Actually, they were the ones who were fighting with Yuan," he exined.


    "Huh? The Three Grand Sects? Why?"


    Kn exined how Yuan thought it was silly to mize hunting wild magical beasts, which started the whole fight.


    Senior Bai rubbed his eyes in a stressed manner and sighed, "What a headache."


    They descended shortly after.


    A few days before Senior Bai and Kn arrived at the Endless Beast Den, the Sect Leaders of the Three Grand Sects gathered there after being informed of the situation.


    "E-excuse me…" The Sect Leader of the Grand Mystic Sect approached Xi Meili, who hadn''t moved from her spot since Kn left.


    "..."


    Xi Meili didn''t respond.


    Despite being ignored, the Sect Leader wasn''t offended, or more precisely, didn''t dare to be offended.


    He continued, "I am Du Daomi, the Sect Leader of the Grand Mystic Sect. I would like to apologize for what happened to your friend—"


    "Save your breath." Xi Meili suddenly interrupted. "We both know you don''t care."


    The Sect Leader immediately became speechless. After a moment of silence, he returned to the other two Sect Leaders.


    "It''s pointless. We might actually make things worse if we try to appease her," said Du Daomi.


    "So what do we do? Wait for the people from Celestial Overlord to show up and kill us?" The Sect Leader of the Grand Harmony Sect said.


    "Don''t say that… the Celestial Overlord is a righteous faction. They wouldn''t kill us over something like this… right?" The Sect Leader of the Grand Defiance Sect said.


    In addition to the Sect Leaders of the Three Grand Sects, those directly involved with the incident, such as the Grand Elders and Elder Hao, were also present.


    "Fuck… this is all your fault, Elder Hao. Why did you have to bother that young man?" Grand Elder Du cursed, ming him for everything.


    "Don''t push your me on me, Grand Elder! I was only doing my job! You were the one who initiated the fight!" Elder Hao eximed.


    "So what?! I wasn''t the one who destroyed the Endless Beast Den!" Grand Elder Du turned to look at Grand Elder Tang and Grand Elder Lu, whoseplexions were as pale as sheets.


    "I-I only wanted to spectate! Grand Elder Tang was the one who pressured me into attacking him!" Grand Elder Lu pointed her fingers at him.


    "Shut up! I was only avenging Grand Elder Du and trying to save face for the Three Grand Sects! If you weren''t so weak, Grand Elder Du, we wouldn''t be here right now!" Grand Elder Tang redirected the me to Grand Elder Du again, going in circles.


    They continued to me each other for the next several days until Senior Bai and Kn appeared before them.
