Chapter 260 - The worrisome situation
The night sky was silent, the moon"s shadow silent!On the peak of Qingming Peak, Old Liang and the black-clothed man were silent for a long time. The atmosphere was slightly awkward.
In the end, Old Liang was defeated. He stretched out his hand to scratch his head of grey hair, but found nothing to say.
"Cough cough, this mountain is really strange. A huge mountain is located in a land filled with spirit energy, yet it doesn"t even have the slightest bit of spirit energy or cloud power. It can"t even compare to the surrounding spa.r.s.e and pitiful small mountains!"
Old Liang"s gaze shifted to the surrounding mountains where the Blood Shadow Palace, Joyous Sect, and Spirit Channeling Sect were located.
If the sect heads and elders of the three sects were to hear Old Liang"s words, they would probably be so angry that they would faint.
How did it end up in the mouth of this old fellow, becoming a pitiful little mountain of thin spiritual energy, you don"t have to look down on people like that!
When Old Liang said this, he somewhat uneasily looked towards the figure beside him.
Even though she was wrapped in a black robe, her graceful figure was faintly discernible. Her chest was towering, and her black robe was even held high above her neck. Her slim waist was held tightly against the cool wind on the mountain peak.Just a single glance at the back of Old Liang"s figure was enough to cause one"s imagination to run wild, but Old Liang"s eyes were full of caution.
The woman was tall and slender, even taller than the old man by half a head. She stood at the edge of the cliff like a proud and isolated cold plum.
After a long moment of silence, Old Liang waited anxiously. Finally, the woman spoke.
"This place was originally not a barren land, just by looking at the treasure cave in the "Green Dragon"s Desolation" water, you can know that this place was once a treasure land with dragon veins. Presumably, there is a supreme expert who used a sacred art to force the dragon veins under this mountain away, which is why the spirit energy in this place is so thin."
The woman"s voice was soft and slightly hoa.r.s.e, with a hint of coldness and arrogance in her bones, yet it also gave people a mysterious s.e.xy feeling!"Oh, I see!"
Old Liang dragged out his voice and replied seriously, as if he was afraid that the other party would feel that he was not paying enough attention to his words. He was like a young child learning from a strict teacher.
And then he was speechless again!Old Liang painfully endured in his heart, but he could only reveal a smile on his face as he spoke again. "Then, how have you been for the past few years, Yun Zhi?"
The girl turned her head to look at the old face. Beneath the black veil was a pair of eyes as bright as the stars. With a glimmer in her eyes, she coldly said, "It"s not good to say, but it"s bad to say.""That blind guy, he"s bullying you. This old man will help you take care of them!"
The girl said indifferently, "I can"t even deal with people, how can you be a match for them?"
"Uh …" Old Liang was immediately humiliated and felt a little awkward.
"Is there anything I need to do? I"ll do it right away!" Old Liang didn"t give up and still wanted to fight for it.
"No need!"The word "woman" interrupted Old Liang"s thoughts.
"It"s better if you stay by Xiang Tian"s side and help him. You don"t need to worry about me, you won"t be able to worry about me!"
"Yun Zhi, don"t be like this. I know that I"ve let you two down, but …"
"Enough!"
The woman stopped her words again. It was just two words, but she blurted out those words. The s.p.a.ce in front of her was like the rolling waves of the ocean. The sea of clouds instantly surged with frightening power!
"What you owe my mother will never be clear. No matter how much you do in front of me, can she feel it?" The woman"s face could not be seen clearly under the veil, but it was likely that at that moment, it was a scene even colder than those words!
When Old Liang heard this, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His face was extremely pale and his eyes became dispirited as he muttered to himself.
"She can"t!" Old Liang whispered in a hoa.r.s.e voice.
"Then don"t mention my mother in front of me. You"re not worthy!"
"You are not worthy!"
These three short words caused Old Liang"s pale face to turn even paler. His turbid eyes had a hint of sparkling. However, in the next instant, it was crushed into nothingness by a tyrannical force!
"It"s all my fault!" In the end, he could only dejectedly say these words!
"Phew!"
The young woman"s chest rose and fell slightly. Obviously, her mood had changed as well.
"Okay, this time you are here to inquire about the situation in the Qin Feng City right?" The young woman"s voice was calm once again, and she spoke indifferently."Yes, the atmosphere in the city has suddenly become chaotic, many of which even I cannot see through. The moment I detect your aura, I will immediately come and find you!"
At this moment, Old Liang had also forcefully mustered his strength and spirit and was no longer dispirited."What is going on in this city? Is it related to the G.o.d Descended from the Heavens?" Old Liang continued to ask.
"Yes." The woman nodded."It is indeed so. In order to summon the G.o.ds this time, aside from the second-or third-rate sects, the seven great sects of the True Dao have all mobilized. The Pill G.o.d Valley, the Nether King Hall, the four forbidden lands, and even the Devil Dao have all sent people here. None of these great powers have fallen behind."
"Hiss!"
Hearing the words of the woman, even though Old Liang could fly into the sky and escape into the ground, Xiang Yun still couldn"t help but reveal a look of shock as he sucked in a deep breath of cold air!There were hundreds and thousands of empires in the entire Tianxuan Continent. For the State of Feng Yun to be able to dominate in the northwest, it was not truly powerful enough to be on par with the other tyrants of the continent.
On the contrary, compared to the Merak Continent, the Wind Cloud Nation"s truly powerful empires, be it their territory or strength, were much weaker. The disparity in strength was completely different.The northwest of Profound Sky Continent was located in the place with the thinnest amount of spirit energy on the continent. It was not the fertile ground that all the martial pract.i.tioners of the world were fighting over.
The Wind Cloud Country was able to rule over the Northwest region, but in the eyes of the entire continent, it could only be considered as a middle cla.s.s power. It couldn"t even compare to those true great empires!
In the entire Merak Continent, the real culprits were the seven great sects of the righteous path, the three great sects of the demonic path, and the forces of the Pill G.o.d Valley, Nether King Hall, and four forbidden lands that could be counted on one"s fingers!They were the true rulers of the continent. They could control the secular powers and defy the existence of the laws of the world.
Aside from the already weakened Sunset Forest, all the other top powers were located far away from the Northwest!
However, because the heavens sent down a divine summons this time, it could be said that it was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples, making it so that these ordinary people wouldn"t step into the peak sects of the Northwest Land and set foot in this place!
The old leader, who was well aware of the terror of these sects, couldn"t help but become extremely unsightly.
"A divine summons fell on the Silvermoon Mountain Range. Have you ever gone to investigate it?" The woman asked.
Old Liang nodded his head, "Of course I did. I went there with that kid, Xiang Ling, and searched the entire Silvermoon Mountain Range. We even secretly searched more than half of the Silvermoon Forest, but we didn"t find anything!"
When the woman heard this, she remained silent for a long while, as if she was thinking about something.
Old Liang then asked somewhat anxiously: "These guys are here for the G.o.d Summoning, they won"t cause too much of a commotion, right?"
It was no wonder that the old man was so adamant about his role. The battle that shocked the entire continent a hundred years ago had left a deep impression in his mind.
A hundred years ago, on the cold northern sh.o.r.e of the North Sea, an ancient bronze palace descended from the sky. The palace released green light that split open mountains and rivers for tens of thousands of li, suspended in the air, and shocked the entire Merak Continent.Soon after, there were rumors that this thing belonged to a certain immortal in the sky. It attracted countless people from the seven great sects and small powers.
In that huge battle, the experts from the seven major sects were all present. There were even characters of the Ancestor Realm holding Immortal weapons to s.n.a.t.c.h the ancient bronze palace!
The battle was incomparably brutal. Blood dyed the sh.o.r.es of the North Sea red, and even congealed into a b.l.o.o.d.y mountain of ice that would not melt for a long time!Countless experts from various major powers had fallen. The Misty Illusionary Palace, Heaven"s Illumination Sect, and even a single ancestor had died. Several half-immortal weapons had been destroyed!
In the end, the ancestor of the Immortal Sword Sect, who was still on the giant island in the sea of ten thousand demons, used the forbidden technique of the Immortal Sword Sect to conquer the ancient bronze hall with a crimson sword that shone with a b.l.o.o.d.y light and lost more than half of his blood essence.
And he had sealed it within the secret s.p.a.ce of the Divine Sword Sect, so the battle had finally ended!
Although it had been a hundred years, he still did not know if the ancestor of the Immortal Sword Sect was still alive, nor did he know if the Immortal Sword Sect had found a way to open the ancient bronze hall.
However, even on the continent, the history of the great war had lasted for thousands of years, and it was enough for people to talk about it for three days and three nights!
This was not what he was worried about. What he was worried about was whether this war, which was extremely similar to the one back then, would affect the entire Wind Cloud Country!One must know that the sh.o.r.e of the Northern Sea was frozen for ten thousand miles and had been restored to its former size. However, the population was extremely small. However, during the great battle back then, more than half of the coast of the Northern Sea collapsed.
If the Silver Moon Mountain Range were to be replaced by the battlefield, the hundreds of millions of citizens in the Wind Cloud Country would have to suffer a great calamity.
The woman shook her head, "This time, it won"t be like a hundred years ago. In order to avoid the tragic ending of that war from that year, all the major powers have made an agreement with each other. Those who are dispatched here all have the highest cultivation bases in the realm of the Xinghe Martial King!"
"Xinghe Martial King!"
Under the heavens, many of the warriors at the foot of the mountain felt that the Sky Cloud Realm was already at the end of the martial path, but in fact, above the Sky Cloud Realm, there was still the Realm of the Martial King!A powerhouse of this level could not only walk on the wind, but also comprehend the profound mysteries of s.p.a.ce. He was extremely powerful and completely surpa.s.sed the clouds, becoming a Martial King!
Old Liang"s expression was still gloomy as he said in a deep voice: "But, with the strength of the Xinghe Martial King, he can still overturn the seas and rivers, and cause chaos in all the borders of the various countries, and bring calamity to all the families!"
The woman waved her hand and said, "Now, this is no longer a problem. Three days ago, I had already met with the leaders of these forces and made an agreement with them. These old monsters would not intervene."Oh!" A light flashed in Old Liang"s eyes. He turned his head and stared at the girl with excitement!
"In that case, you have already stepped into that realm!"
"En!"
The woman calmly nodded without a single ripple!
"Hahaha, this is great!"
Old Liang cheered excitedly as he took off the wine gourd at his waist and gulped down a mouthful!
He seemed to have suddenly recalled that a certain someone hated his drinking habits since he was young. He quickly put down the wine gourd in his hand, but his smile was still as childish as before!A cultivation realm that even in his dreams, the Star River Martial King was still unable to take that step forward.
However, Old Liang"s daughter had already stepped into this realm before him, becoming a true top-level expert in this world. Moreover, she was able to make the leaders of several great powers sign an agreement with her that they would not help her.
With a woman like this, what more could he ask for!? For a moment, Old Liang was actually happier than when he had broken through!
Looking at the hempen-clothed old man who was happily jumping up and down by the side, a soft light flashed through the woman"s deep eyes beneath the veil, then she spoke coldly!
"Don"t be happy too early, they promised not to do anything, but it"s still not easy for Wind Cloud Nation to avoid this disaster."
"Hmm?" Hearing this, Old Liang was so excited that he turned to look at the girl in confusion.
"In two months, the Silvermoon Forest will be in full swing, and thousands upon thousands of cloud beasts will charge out of the Silvermoon Forest, charging straight for the northwest border of the State of Feng Yun." In two months, the Silvermoon Forest will be in full swing, and tens of thousands of cloud beasts will charge out of the Silvermoon Forest and into the northwest border of the State of Feng Yun."What!" When Old Liang heard this, he involuntarily cried out in alarm.
