Chapter 453 Crushing
```
The gazes of everyone present involuntarily shifted into the warehouse, where they saw the wall inside slowly lowering, revealing yet another secret chamber behind it.
In the secret chamber, all sorts of rare treasures and exotic wonders were displayed, each one a rarity, but no one paid any attention to these marvels.
Amidst the pile of riches, sat a red velvet armchair for one, and an elegant woman with the grace of an Angel was seated upon it. Her long legs clad in stockings were crossed, and she was holding a jelly stick, savoring it with relish.
"Little Aunt... Tian Xun..." Tian Xin and Lin Shen exclaimed almost simultaneously, both filled with surprise and delight.
"Tian Xun... weren't you trapped in the Giant God Mausoleum?" Ye Kong said gravely, staring at Tian Xun.
"If you hadn't been lured into the mausoleum and trapped inside, how would you all have jumped out?" Tian Xun, holding the jelly stick in hand, said with a smile.
"You've planned well, but sadly your layout was slightly flawed. Now, Paradise Island is about to fall, and your arrangement has been of no use," Ye Kong replied, unflustered as she still held the upper hand.
The situation outside was completely under control; taking Paradise Island was only a matter of time. Read new adventures at empire
Here, there was only Tian Xun, a Nirvana Being, and she and the old butler were both Nirvana Beings. Two against one, they still had the advantage.
After hearing Ye Kong's words, Tian Xun chuckled derisively, "Ye Kong, you are truly pitiable and lamentable. But I can't blame you; after the Night Ghost Tribe fled to Giant Ring Star and hid like rats for so many years, you've surely lost touch with the vastness of this world, and becoming a frog in a well was inevitable."
"Tian Xun, what exactly are you trying to say? Don't tell me you still have reinforcements. Nobody on Giant Ring Star can help you. Right now, the entire planet cannot use teleporters; one can neither enter nor leave. The An Family and the Chi Family are too preoccupied with their own troubles to even think about coming to your aid," Ye Kong stated.
"Do I need to spell it out any clearer? Only the weak need arrangements. Do you need to scheme and strategize to kill an ant? Of course not. You kill it however you wish; you just need to lure the ant out of its hole," Tian Xun said indifferently.
"Arrogant and conceited. What use is your verbal skill when today, your defeat is already sealed?" With those words, a black carapace appeared on Ye Kong, and at the same time, she stretched out her hand and a black and red bass materialized in her grip.
She lightly plucked the strings, and the deep sound waves instantly made everyone feel as though their hearts were struck by a heavy hammer, forcing them to involuntarily cover their chests, their blood churning and a sweetness filling their mouths.
Almost simultaneously, the old butler summoned a knight's sword and raised it to strike at Lin Shen and the others.
Lin Shen and the rest quickly retreated, as they were currently unable to withstand the onslaught of two Nirvana Beings.
As he retreated, Lin Shen was gathering his strength, knowing that Tian Xun, facing two opponents, would inevitably suffer a disadvantage.
His Inheritance Fan and the Mutated Jade Linglong could well assist Tian Xun. If push came to shove, he could even manage to hold one off on his own. With his current capabilities, plus the halo accumulated from Sacrifice to Heaven, it might be difficult to defeat a Nirvana Being, but buying some time should not be a problem.
"Kneel down…" Facing the assault of Ye Kong and the old butler, Tian Xun didn't even make an attempt to rise from the armchair.
Instead, she sat there, her long legs wrapped in stockings and crossed, still holding the jelly stick, and said coldly to the two.
Thump!
The unbelievable happened. The formidable old butler and Ye Kong actually heeded Tian Xun's words and knelt directly on the ground.
Ye Kong knelt there, her eyes widened to the extreme, her blood-red pupils contracting, her face filled with disbelief.
The old butler looked even paler, lacking any hint of color, and struggled to stand up.

But no matter how hard they tried, their bodies shaking violently, their legs just couldn't straighten.
Ye Kong suddenly pressed his hands against the ground, trying to lift his body using the strength of his arms.
"Does kneeling feel uncomfortable? Then lie down," Tian Xun said with a lightness in her voice. Ye Kong's hands, which were pressing against the floor, twisted as if broken, and his body contorted awkwardly as he fell face-first onto the ground, creating a dent in the metal floor.
The old butler also lay sprawled out on the ground, unable to struggle to his feet.
Lin Shen watched, dumbfounded. Although he had always known Tian Xun was powerful, she seldom displayed her dominant side when they were together. This led him to gradually lose himself and see Tian Xun as just a beautiful, wealthy woman, overlooking the fact that she was a Hybrid Celestial with a seat in the Celestial Court.
Even Pureblood Celestials like Chi 118 and An 117, who were close to the top hundred Nirvana Beings in the Chi and An Families, did not have the qualifications for a seat in the Celestial Court—this put into perspective just how strong Tian Xun was.
Watching the two people struggling on the ground, Tian Xun finally stood up, walked slowly to their side, and without even glancing at them, walked right past, casually saying, "My sweetheart, I'll leave them to you."
Lin Shen then came to his senses, rushed to the two men, and forcefully pressed down on their acupoints, sealing them on the spot.
With Lin Shen's current strength, if he released his finger strength at full burst, even Nirvana Beings would find it difficult to avoid Acupoint Sealing if unprepared.
Ye Kong and the old butler, completely powerless to resist, were thus sealed by Lin Shen.
"Wei, keep an eye on them, I'm going to take a look outside," Lin Shen followed after her, curious to see how Tian Xun would handle the chaos on Paradise Island.
Tian Xin and the others also hurried out. By the time they reached the entrance to Paradise Palace, the Hybrid Night Ghosts and various pets they encountered lay in bizarre and absurd poses all over the place.
Outside Paradise Palace, Tian Xun, radiating a holy light, had risen into the air.
Her Jade Armor was so immaculately holy that it seemed unstained by any dust, and behind her, pairs of Angel's Wings unfolded. The halo above her head made her seem like an angel out of legend.
Tian Xun raised the Angel's Scepter in her hand, the holy light illuminating the entire island, and her cool voice in an instant spread throughout Paradise Island, "Little kitties, it's time to sleep."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The moment the sound fell, Lin Shen and the others witnessed an astonishing scene; all the creatures on the ground and in the sky suddenly fell into slumber.
Those on the ground simply collapsed, pets in battle fell on top of people, lying down to sleep on them.
Two people who were wrestling fell asleep as they hugged each other.
Creatures and pets that were flying in the sky plummeted like meteors, including those Nirvana Beings and their Nirvana pets who were still fighting.
The only two who did not fall asleep were Bede and Kong Chuan, though even Bede's pets succumbed to sleep, crashing heavily onto the roofs.
Although Bede and Kong Chuan did not fall asleeEmp, their eyelids were battling heavily, looking like they could drop asleep at any moment.
Golden light surged around Bede as he turned to flee from Paradise Island.
Tian Xun glanced at Bede and said coldly, "Bede, come down here."
"Ah!" With a scream, Bede plummeted from the sky, crashing heavily into the ground.
