Chapter 884 - 884 This Is Your True Goal
884 This Is Your True Goal
“I remember now!” After a long silence, Daoist Tianfeng suddenly spoke. “If I remember correctly, you’re the Strange Corpse Ancestor who was buried in the Sea Burial back then!”
“What! Corpse Ancestor…”
As soon as Daoist Tianfeng said this, the entire place fell silent. Even Ye Wuhen looked over in surprise. He was still young and didn’t understand what happened back then at all. Not to mention him, even Gu Sanqiu had never heard of any Corpse Ancestor. He had never experienced the chaos back then.
Among the people present, only Daoist Tianfeng had truly experienced it and heard of this Corpse Ancestor’s cruel reputation. As expected, the moment Daoist Tianfeng exposed the other party’s ident.i.ty, the teasing Corpse Ancestor looked over in surprise.
“Haha, looks like there’s someone in this world who recognizes me.”
!!
He did not deny it. Instead, he became even more interested. He was not in a hurry to attack because he knew that Meng Tianzheng was not on the mountain at all. He was not afraid of all these people combined.
After confirming the other party’s ident.i.ty, Daoist Tianfeng’s expression became even uglier. He said with a solemn tone, “I’ve long heard of the Strange Corpse Ancestor. Back then, you used a million corpses to cause a strange chaos and swept through more than half of my Immortal Realm. Countless people died. To this day, this name is still a taboo.”
At this point, Daoist Tianfeng’s expression was gloomy. He turned around and looked at Linglong in Lin Qingzhu’s arms before saying, “I don’t know what happened after that, but he met a mysterious expert at the Sea Burial. He was buried in the Sea Burial and disappeared for tens of thousands of years.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the Corpse Ancestor’s face darkened, as if he had fallen into his memories. A cold murderous aura erupted in his heart and covered the entire divine mountain. “Shut up!”
That was a forgetfulness that he did not want to mention. It was also the only shadow of the high-spirited him back then.
Daoist Tianfeng did not stop there. Instead, he continued, “If I’m not wrong, this little girl is the person who sealed you back then, right? And you’re probably here for her this time, right?”
“What!
At this moment, the crowd was in an uproar.
The once ferocious and ill.u.s.trious Strange Corpse Ancestor was actually sealed by Linglong? That was the corpse ancestor who symbolized strangeness. Although his current strength was only above the Dao Sacrificial realm, in reality, he was far more than this back then.
As one of the Strange giants, his strength had only recently been unsealed by Strange Tian because it was sealed. His strength had only recovered to one ten-thousandth of what it was back then.
If it was his peak strength, even an Immortal King powerhouse was not worth mentioning in front of him.
And Linglong was actually the person who had buried him in the Sea Burial back then?
How was this possible? Didn’t that mean that Linglong’s predecessor was once a fully deserving Great Empress?
At this moment, the entire venue erupted. No one could remain calm.
The Strange Corpse Ancestor’s expression was even uglier, and his killing intent soared. Clearly, Daoist Tianfeng was right. The moment he saw Linglong, he recognized her. Moreover, he had also probed. The moment Linglong was attacked, her true body vaguely appeared and was exposed.
After seeing the phantom behind Linglong, he did not continue to attack because the fear in his heart came from the deepest fear in his heart, making him afraid and not dare to attack.
After a long silence, he finally understood why Strange Tian wanted him to come to the Heaven Mending Divine Mountain. His intentions were very obvious. He wanted him to break the fear in his heart and personally end his nightmare.
It was nothing more than wanting him to do things for Tian and let the strangeness control the world again to start an even more tragic dark chaos.
As one of the few ancestors, he did not obey Tian much, but he used Linglong as a favor because he wanted the Corpse Ancestor to owe him a debt.
This deal was very worth it. Once he personally killed Linglong and ate her, he could break the fear in his heart and consolidate the Dao in his heart.
With all kinds of negative karma, it could go up a level!
This was a huge opportunity for him, and one of the few opportunities. This was a huge favor, and the karma was also huge. Therefore, Tian’s plan was very clear. From the moment he mentioned it, the Corpse Ancestor had no choice.
Even if he didn’t want revenge, he had no choice but to do it! Linglong was his greatest obstacle on the path to regaining his invincible heart. If he could not cross over, the fear in his heart would not be eliminated. He would never be able to raise his head.
After calculating for a few seconds, the Corpse Ancestor suddenly laughed and said, “Haha… Interesting, interesting.
“Since you already know, I’ll make it clear that I have no interest in you. I’m here this time for one person. Hand over that little girl! Otherwise, I will definitely make your Heaven Mending Pavilion bleed like a river!”
He had laid his cards on the table! The source of everything was clear. He was here for Linglong.
The moment they heard this, the entire divine mountain erupted. Everyone discussed animatedly, their expressions uncertain. Lin Qingzhu was already completely fl.u.s.tered. She could clearly see that the hostility in the eyes of these fellow disciples seemed to be in a vortex. Linglong had already become a thorn in everyone’s side.
Sacrificing her alone could save countless lives. No one could refuse.
“Hmph, I knew it long ago. This little girl is a jinx. If we keep her, something will happen sooner or later.”
“That’s right! Now that the First Elder is not around, we are no match for the Corpse Ancestor at all. Everyone will be happy if we hand her over.”
Soon, countless voices sounded in the crowd. Their words revealed coldness.
However, there was more than one voice.
“Bulls.h.i.t! You cowardly things can even say such things? How can a man be afraid of death when he was born in the world? We cultivators cultivate the vast world and cultivate the heart. How can you say such dirty and smelly words? I’m ashamed to be a.s.sociated with you.”
There was no lack of hot-blooded youths in the crowd. They were filled with righteousness and would rather die than be dishonored.
Soon, the crowd was divided into three factions and there was an intense argument.
The faction that had been silent all this time was especially solemn. It was not that they did not have their own subjective consciousness. Not only that, but they were also very smart. The moment the Corpse Ancestor made this request, they did not think about whether they should hand her over.
Instead, they were thinking about why the Corpse Ancestor would make such a request.
Among them, Ye Qingxuan was the calmest. After a long silence, they finally thought of the key. The first to speak was Ling Tian. He said coldly, “Shut up! Do you people really think that handing him over can be exchanged for peace? Naive fool! The Corpse Ancestor is famous for being cruel and bloodthirsty. He has been sealed for tens of thousands of years, and his former subordinates have long died.
“His motive for coming this time is probably not just for this little girl. His true goal is to turn our entire Heaven Mending Pavilion into his million corpses!”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
Ling Tian’s words. .h.i.t the nail on the head.
“What! This is his true goal?”
Everyone panicked.
