<h2>Chapter 1940: Ancient You n (1)</h2>


    <em>Somewhere hidden in the valleys of the Central Maind.</em>


    A white-haired old man was standing in a huge pavilion. As he lifted his eyes slightly, his gaze fell on the wall of the pavilion. There were many crystal balls crammed onto the wall, all of them glowing from the inside.


    Suddenly, without a warning, two crystal balls split open and shattered onto the floor.


    The gaze of the old man changed and a middle-aged man guarding outside rushed in.


    “You Feng and You Qu’s crystal balls shattered?” The middle-aged man frowned as he looked at the two shattered crystal balls.


    The old man’s gaze swept over the two crystal balls and he said solemnly, “Where did they go?”


    The middle-aged man thought for a moment before saying, “You Feng had been following orders obediently, obtaining the Spirit of Chaos fragments from the Ancient ns. But he seemed to have suffered some humiliation at the Temple of Shadows and went to find You Qu after he came back…”


    Before the middle-aged man finished speaking, the old man retracted his gaze.


    The middle-aged man said, “These Life Pearls are the source of their lives. Since they are broken, does this mean that at the Temple of Shadows…”


    “They died there,” the old man said lightly.


    The middle-aged man froze before understanding what the old man said.


    If their life source had shattered, it could only mean that they were no longer alive.


    “Are you going to send anyone else to continue the mission since they’re dead?”


    The old man nodded slightly. He lifted his arm to point out two other crystal balls and said, “Let them go.”


    “Yes…” The middle-aged man epted the order but said hesitantly, “What about the Temple of Shadows…”


    The old man had both his hands behind his back as he turned to step out of the pavilion. “The Holy Lord of Shadows used to exist on the maind. If she has truly returned, her strength is not to be underestimated. Our main goal is to collect the Spirit of Chaos fragments from the Ancient n. We are not going to deal with the Holy Lord of Shadows at this stage.”


    “But I’ve heard that many Ancient ns have already gone to the Temple of Shadows for protection,” the middle-aged man said.


    The old man narrowed his eyes slightly and walked deeper into the valley. In front of him was a huge pce. The gates of the pce were slightly ajar.


    It was pitch-ck inside the pce and there was no movement at all.


    Suddenly, a pair of glowing silver eyes appeared through the gap between the gates. It was looking outside the pce.


    The old man narrowed his eyes further and spoke to the middle-aged man behind him.


    “It doesn’t matter. It won’t be toote even if we deal with the Temple of Shadows after collecting the Spirit of Chaos fragments from the other Ancient ns on the maind. We have nothing to fear about the Ancient ns. If anything, now that they’ve all gathered at the Temple of Shadows, it saves us the trouble of having to search for them.”


    “Yes.” The middle-aged man understood his intentions. They didn’t have to deal with the Temple of Shadows now.


    But he asked again after some hesitation, “How are we going to deal with the Elder on the east side?”


    “Deal with him?” the old manughed slightly and said, “We’ll spare their lives if they understand what’s going on, but…”


    The old man paused for a while before saying, “They are bound to find out about what happened to the Domain Monarch and the Jiang family. Remember, we have to collect all the fragments of the Spirit of Chaos. Not one piece can be missing.”


    “Yes!” Having received his orders, the middle-aged retreated before rushing to the east side of the valley.
