- Crisis
The elders were all smiling, extremely calm, overseeing this place together with a few other middle-aged men. None of them were flustered, because the leading figures who secretly came were too strong!
“Haha, don’t rush, tell us slowly, it’s not like the heavens are collapsing. What is it? We’ll take responsibility.” An elder with three heads said with all smiles.
“Great one…” The messenger’s expression was sullen, kneeling down.
“Tell us, what exactly is it? It is just a trifling Huang, any Self Release Realm cultivator can capture and kill him. What did you guys do to him? Another middle-aged man said with a smile, calm and unruffled, clearly not worried.
It was because if it was just for killing Huang, any of those entering the mountain range would be enough, let alone the fact that so many cultivators came, and they even came with a trump card!
“The people who went inside have all been wiped out, the great ones all died!” The voice of the creature who was kneeling on the ground was trembling.
When these words sounded, the mountains became still, lacking all sound. All of the smiles froze, time seemingly stopped, freezing here.
How could this be?
It was just a single Huang! Even though he had heaven warping talent, indeed extraordinary, he didn’t mature to the point where the older generation figures would fear him yet, still too young. However, he actually killed king race’s older generation experts?
Moreover, this time, it wasn’t just one or two individuals who entered, but rather several groups. They all had older generation experts overseeing them!
Just now, they were still calm, smiling and discussing here, as if there was nothing to worry about at all. It was because in their opinion, the greater situation was already set in stone.
However now, when they heard the terrible news, the expressions of these experts were as exaggerated as could be.
It changed from a faint smile, to their expressions becoming rigid, then to frowns. Veins then covered their foreheads, expressions falling, becoming a bit malevolent!
This really was a bit hard to accept, especially when these elders were so calm and easygoing before. Now, their faces were filled with humiliation and anger, this was too shameful.
“How is this possible? Those old fellas all died after entering? How could they be killed by Huang?!” That three-headed elder asked with an overcast expression.
On its left shoulder was a sheep head, golden and resplendent, even the horns golden. The center was a golden huan head, not that ordinary either. On the right shoulder was a great peng bird, its gaze penetrating.
“I didn’t see Huang, I only saw remains, all of them dying miserably, their blood pitch-black, dyeing the mountain forest. Even their flesh and bones were rotten!” The messenger said with a trembling voice.
That scene was too terrifying, regardless of whether it was the younger generation cultivators or the older experts, they all met similar ends, becoming rotten bones.
“Who is the one doing this? Don’t tell me that an Imperial Pass powerful expert infiltrated Divine Medicine Mountain Range without startling us? This doesn’t seem too likely!” The three headed elder said with a cold voice.
That was a variant of the Three Headed King Race. Its blood was golden, the three heads different from others in its clan, this creature was extremely well-known!
“Enter the mountain!” A monster covered in silver scales walked over from the back, its appearance similar to a Pangolin. However, there were still some differences, for example, there were silver dragon horns on its head, on its back eight silver wings.
“Something major happened! It should be an undead knight that was startled by someone, emerging from the earth. We have to enter the mountain and provide assistance! Hurry and bring the Hundred Calamity Stairway!” The three-headed king said.
They came to this conclusion from the conditions of the corpses. There was a high possibility of this being done by undead knights.
However, they didn’t associate the two too much, not believing that the undead knight was on Shi Hao’s side. It was because these types of underground creatures normally didn’t walk together with humans.
“If there really is an undead knight that is running rampant, we might not necessarily be able to stop it!” Another King Clan elder said with a sunken voice.
They were extremely strong, but they still weren’t supreme beings in the end. Even if they were stronger than other Self Release Realm cultivators, there was still a limit to this.
“But we have no choice but to enter, we don’t have a choice! That young great one already entered the mountain range!” The expression of the silver-scaled pangolin-like creature was serious.
This was something major, an Emperor Clan young great one entered, so they couldn’t afford to lose him. They had to go and provide assistance.
It was because undead knights were too dangerous. Even if that great one had foreign ancient treasures and other things, he might not necessarily be able to escape unharmed. There was a chance that he might be in great danger.
“We have to enter, perhaps the Burial Earth has split open. If that happens, no matter how many trump cards the emperor race youth has, it still wouldn’t be that effective. Once the Burial Earth is connected to the surface, it would be unimaginable!”
It was clear that they thought too much, worrying too much, fearing that there would be a disaster.
“Hurry and report to those old ancestors!” The three-headed king said coldly, giving orders to those around him.
They were all Self Release Realm great cultivators, so the old ancestors they talked about were clearly supreme beings. There were actually many of them who came, one could see just how deep their plotting ran!
It was because the undying existences couldn’t cross Heaven Abyss, unable to cross over. Supreme Being level individuals were already the most powerful in Desolate Border.
This time, there were indeed individuals at this level who personally came. However, none of them were here, instead hiding in another crucial place, protecting a few important locations!
In every single spot was a formation core that they personally watched over and controlled. Once they were activated, the effects would be unimaginable!
Without a doubt, this was prepared for Imperial Pass’ highest level. If they rushed over, then they would be completely wiped out, eliminating future problems.
In reality, towards these old fellas’ actions, to lay in there in ambush, it was something that some from the foreign side didn’t agree with. There were some creatures who were opposed to this.
It was because they felt like there was completely no need, that they really were making a big fuss out of nothing.
In a few creatures’ opinions, even though Huang was a genius, his talents exceptional, it wasn’t to the point where it could move clouds, startle the higher levels.
They didn’t think this type of ambush would be useful, unable to catch the so-called big fish.
However, there were some creatures who persisted with this idea, feeling that it had a high chance of succeeding. Moreover, once it did, Imperial Pass would quickly decline, losing the most powerful individuals who served as the backbone.
Furthermore, if they were able to get rid of Imperial Pass’ most powerful individuals in one swoop, this would be a fatal blow. It would drop their morale to the extreme.
It was to the extent where at that time, as long as the undying existences issued the decree to ‘enlist rebel soldiers’, there would most likely be long life families who would defect, open up that impregnable ancient city, welcome them in!
Once this happened, there might be shocking results.
Meanwhile, all of this was founded on an important judgment. Someone from Imperial Pass had previously passed through Desolate Border, heading towards the other side with good will, leaking out information there, offering some important news.
That individual not only told them that Huang was in Divine Medicine Mountain Range, he also emphasized that this was someone Meng Tianzheng regarded with great importance, willing to take risks for him.
Once Great Elder Meng Tianzheng convinced other supreme beings, even if it was just one or two unmatched beings who set out together, it would still be a great opportunity. All of them would be wiped out in one go!
It could be said that the creature who came from Imperial Pass had a firm grasp on Meng Tianzheng, Huang, and others, giving a group of foreign iron-blooded demon kings important information to consider.
The foreign side’s hardline faction wanted to make a large move. Once it succeeded, they could take down Imperial Pass in one swoop, many families would most likely directly surrender, open up the city to welcome them!
After giving out orders to send the information to the supreme beings, the three-headed king and others set out, using the supreme treasure Hundred Calamity Stairway to make it into the mountain range depths, passing the Iron Blood Ancient Tree and other dangers.
Regardless of whether it was for Shi Hao or Imperial Pass, this was a huge crisis!
Someone was leaking secrets from Imperial Pass, this matter was extremely serious. If they couldn’t uncover this person, then it would always remain a shadow over their hearts, difficult for them to feel at ease.
The only thing that prevented them from being too terrified was that if one wished to enter Imperial Pass, they had to enter through the formation core. There were great restrictions there, so until now, no accidents had ever happened.
Imperial Pass was like a giant living creature, able to inspect all types of information regarding the individuals’ bloodlines and other information.
Moreover, it was always only people who left Imperial Pass who could return. If not, then they weren’t permitted inside the pass.
“Even though the youngsters didn’t return, I do not believe it is they who are leaking out secrets. This is merely a coincidence.” A few people were discussing things.
Moreover, it wasn’t only a few, there were over a hundred thousand individuals. This time, they held a great meeting precisely to have the various clans investigate their own clans, find out the creatures who have ulterior motives.
From a certain perspective, the foreign side allowed Imperial Pass to know that there was someone leaking out secrets. This matter was a type of success and return in itself.
At the very least, it made every clan uneasy, looking at each other with suspicious eyes, begin to investigate their own people.
If this type of suspicion was exploited or guided in the future somehow, it might produce great results.
“I feel like it is definitely Huang, it is him who is leaking out information! Otherwise, why did he dare enter Divine Medicine Mountain Range alone? He is holding a meeting with the other side!”
“Correct, we already investigated and found out that there are foreign creatures roaming about! If Huang isn’t the one who is leaking information, he would have died a long time ago. There is no way he is still alive!”
There were people shouting, demanding for Huang to be punished severely, attaching an unforgivable crime to him.
It was clear that these creatures who were shouting noisily were all people who followed Wang Family and Jin Family. The two great long life families didn’t get along with Huang, sharing a great grudge. These followers began to throw stones while the other party was already down.
“Detain all of Huang’s gang of scoundrels, interrogate them first! Let’s see if we can find any clues!”
There were some who, for the sake of currying favor with the two great families, truly were going all out.
It was because recently, the two clans were trying to gather as many people to their side as possible. There might be great benefits to be had.
These people were indeed scared of Meng Tianzheng, but they were even more scared of Immortal Wang and Jin Taijun joining hands. In their opinion, two unmatched beings were definitely stronger than one supreme being.
“Shut your mouths!”
Above the copper palace, a middle-aged man shouted, his eyes cold as they swept through them, leaving them horrified.
“Huh?” At the same time, they were startled. Wasn’t that one of Wang Family’s Nine Dragons? His head was covered in gray hair, figure tall and big, eyes brilliant like golden lamps.
These followers were greatly shocked, at the same time shivering inwardly.
“Use your brains! Huang killed the foreign young kings, establishing a great grudge, would someone like his defect?” Right at this time, an old woman also spoke up, expression downcast.
Her eyes were even more terrifying, piercing like arrows, simply about to make one’s body break apart. When one was swept through by her gaze, their bodies would crack open, blood flowing out.
This woman’s entire body was wrapped within chaotic energy, extremely powerful!
Everyone shivered inwardly. This was one of Jin Taijun’s daughters, her strength exceptional. Today, she also appeared in the copper palace, leaving everyone in fear.
These followers were shocked and fearful, at the same time a bit confused. Even though they knew that there was no way Huang would defect, so what if they spoke a bit of nonsense?
Wasn’t this what the two families wanted to see?
These individuals were embarrassed, not expecting their flattery to end up working against them. The two clans didn’t seem to feel any gratitude.
“Huang is still a child, he doesn’t have the strength to affect the greater situation, but he is still worth saving, because his aptitude truly is unordinary, with endless potential to unearth.” Right at this time, an elder spoke up in an extremely amiable manner.
