Chapter 43 The Argument of the Ruthless Ones
"I never imagined that such a sacred place, with a history spanning hundreds of thousands of years, would be parasitized by outsiders. If word gets out, the entire Beidou region will be shaken to its core!"
Inside the main hall, the Peacock King stood with his hands behind his back, deeply moved.
"I've lived for over three thousand years and seen all sorts of storms, but this is the first time I've ever heard of something like this," the Red Dragon Taoist echoed.
Hua Yunfei just provided them with enough irrefutable evidence to prove that the Yao Guang Holy Land has now been occupied by the Ruthless Clan.
They now realize who their real opponent is!
In the corner, overhearing the lamentations of several demon kings, the big black dog scoffed:
"So what! Even the greatest traditions will decline one day. Don't even mention holy lands that have only existed for a few hundred thousand years; even forbidden zones will eventually perish!"
Yan Ruyu's exquisite face showed a visibly shocked expression as she exclaimed, "How is this possible?"
From the time she could remember, she had been familiar with the legends of the seven forbidden zones of life in the Eastern Wilderness.
Everyone knows the terrifying Big Dipper, a forbidden zone for life; it is a place that ancient emperors could only suppress by shedding blood and risking their lives.
How could such a terrifying place possibly be destroyed?
Ye Fan, standing in the main hall, also looked incredulous. He had been to the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land before and knew how dangerous that place was.
Hua Yunfei seemed to understand something, knowing what place the big black dog was referring to.
The three demon kings exchanged glances, and then the Crimson Dragon Daoist spoke up: "Are you referring to the Heavenly Fracture Mountain Range?"
"Not bad, so you've heard of it too?"
The Black Emperor was somewhat surprised, not expecting that these demon kings knew quite a lot.
"What happened to the Tianduan Mountains? What kind of place is that?" Ye Fan asked from the side.
The Crimson Dragon Daoist slowly spoke: "Legend has it that that place was once a forbidden zone for life, which was wiped out by the Ruthless Great Emperor with a single sword strike over two hundred thousand years ago!"
"But that should just be a rumor. No one can confirm that it actually happened. It's just a compliment to the heaven-defying combat power of the ancient emperors."
The Azure Dragon King also said, "I don't believe it either; a forbidden zone of life could be so easily destroyed."
Seeing that none of the demon kings believed it.
The big black dog was very displeased. Its face was long and it said bluntly, "That's because you're ignorant! You have no idea how strong the Ruthless Great Emperor is!"
It was very excited as it recounted the old stories, how the Tian Duan Mountains were once the ancestral home of the royal family of living beings, with supreme beings residing there.
Two hundred thousand years ago, this place brought chaos to the world, and the Ruthless Great Emperor wiped it out in a fit of rage.
The big black dog spat everywhere, almost spraying them in the face.
Seeing its certainty, the people present couldn't help but believe it a little more. The demon kings became even more curious about its origins, as it seemed to know so much about these secrets.
……
Anzhou, the seat of the Yaoguang Holy Land.
In the very center of the palace, the Holy Lord Yaoguang sat in the middle.
At the bottom were more than a dozen powerful figures lined up on both sides, all of them strong members of the Ruthless lineage!
The Ruthless lineage has controlled the Yao Guang Holy Land for many years, and the Holy Land is now divided into "outer saints and inner demons".
Ninety-nine percent of the ordinary disciples have no connection with the ruthless people's lineage; they are innocent disciples of the holy land.
They cultivate the ancient scriptures of the Yao Guang Holy Land, practice the Hunyuan Holy Light Technique, and engage in the affairs of reputable and righteous sects.
Only the core high-ranking members of the Holy Land are from the Ruthless lineage.
Over the years, they have cultivated generations of the most promising core disciples into their own ranks, gradually gaining control of the Holy Land.
Now, almost all the powerful figures above the Great Power level in the Holy Land belong to the Ruthless lineage.
As for the disciples below the Great Power level, except for a very few core disciples, they did not absorb them, but instead used this large number of low-level disciples to cover for themselves.
After all, it's not good for their lineage to have more people, as more people make it easier to expose their identities. It's good that only the highest level is the Ruthless Lineage, just like now.
At this moment, in the main hall, the Holy Lord of Yao Guang looked around and spoke first: "You all know the news, right? What are your opinions on this matter?"
At the lower end, a powerful figure said in a deep voice, "Holy Lord, something is amiss!"
"I think the news about the Devouring Demon Canopy is mostly false; it's very likely aimed at us, intending to harm us!"
"Ever since the Eleventh Elder was tricked by the demon race, he has become somewhat easily frightened. I believe this is not a trap, but rather an opportunity for the great prosperity of my Devouring Heaven lineage!"
The Ruthless Ones lineage internally refers to themselves as the Devouring Heaven lineage, derived from the ancient Devouring Heaven Demon Art they cultivate, and also because the Ruthless Emperor was once known as the Devouring Heaven Emperor.
At this moment, the powerful being who spoke up was the Eighth Elder of Yaoguang, who had always been at odds with the Eleventh Elder, and now he spoke sarcastically to him.
The Eleventh Elder was furious upon hearing this, but before he could speak, the Eighth Elder immediately followed up:
"Everyone, please look. This sacred map is imbued with the natural charm of the Dao and is filled with the power of time. It is clear that it has witnessed tens of thousands of years of history."
"The cracks above show that this painting survived a terrible battle and was almost destroyed. Therefore, it is definitely not a hastily made forgery to deceive us!"
The other powerful being nodded repeatedly, his eyes gleaming with divine light.
He echoed, "I believe so too. This item is genuine, but it accidentally fell into the hands of bandits, its brilliance hidden away. We were fortunate enough to obtain it during our large-scale extermination of the bandits; this is a great fortune for our Devouring Heaven lineage!"
"This contains not only information about the Devouring Demon Canopy, but also the legacy of the Great Emperor Wushi! The implications of this are self-evident!"
"We possess the legacy of the Ruthless Great Emperor. If we can retrieve the Devouring Demon Cover this time, then collecting the Devouring Demon Jar should not be difficult. If we can also obtain the Imperial Weapon and legacy of the Beginningless Great Emperor..."
"A powerful being said excitedly, his clenched fists trembling," one of the great beings said.
Others were so excited by just thinking about the future in this direction that their very souls were trembling.
"If the Devouring Demon Cover is truly lost in Purple Mountain, coupled with the legacy of the Great Emperor Wushi, even if someone has ill intentions, we must still go and make the trip!"
"Yes, use imperial weapons to extract the great fortune from this place!"
"No, I still believe there is great risk here; this is the territory of the demon race..."
"I think you've all been terrified by the demon race's imperial weapons..."
"presumptuous……"
A fierce argument erupted, and a group of powerful figures were arguing fiercely in the area.
If it weren't for the protective array here, this palace would have been destroyed by them long ago!
Some people felt this was a great opportunity right in front of them, and were willing to mobilize the imperial army for it.
Some people believe there is a scam involved and that it is not worth taking such a huge risk.
Overall, the majority of people support going to Zishan.
"That's enough!"
A furious shout rang out.
The Holy Lord of Yao Guang, his face ashen, looked at the group of powerful figures in the hall and said, "Send the message back to the Holy Land and ask my esteemed uncle for a decision!"
The argument subsided, but the ruthless faction did not stop their actions. They immediately dispatched people to search for locations on the Saint Pi map.
Regardless of the final decision, it's always good to do more preparation.
Purple Mountain, this mysterious place, gradually came into their view.
