345 Upheaval in Yinghuang! (2)

Wu Jianwu was clearly agitated by the matter of Saintly Star suppressing the First Peak. He returned to the cave to continue taking care of the pregnant ferocious beasts.

It was already dark and the moon was high in the sky. Under the moonlight, the Phoenix Forbidden seemed to have transformed into a den of ghosts; strange cries and beast roars occasionally echoed in the surroundings.

Xu Qing’s figure shuttled through the pitch-black jungle.

He had no intention of telling others about Wu Jianwu.

In this chaotic world, everyone had their own way of living. Although the other party had some strange habits, it didn’t affect him and he even got immortal jelly. Hence, Xu Qing couldn’t be bothered.

He only felt that the world was vast and there were all kinds of strange things.

“However, it’s also possible that Wu Jianwu has another purpose.” Xu Qing shook his head and threw the thought to the back of his mind. He found a tree hole and checked the surroundings before setting up protective arrays around the tree and entered it.

Xu Qing then took out the immortal jelly he had obtained.

Some time had pa.s.sed, so the immortal jelly was clearly reduced by half. This reminded Xu Qing of what Wu Jianwu had said. This item would disappear after two hours.

After some thought, he took out a small bottle. After opening it, he waved his hand; immediately, the little black bugs inside flew out and landed on the immortal jelly, beginning to devour it.

Xu Qing observed carefully. However, even after the little black bugs finished eating these immortal jelly, there were no reactions or changes. After thinking about it, Xu Qing decided to let this batch of little black bugs devour all the immortal jelly he had brought.

Very soon, the immortal jelly disappeared. Xu Qing observed for a long time and finally kept those little black bugs back into the bottle. He then marked the bottle and stored it separately.

He was going to wait for them to finish digesting the immortal jelly to check if there was anything different.

After doing this, Xu Qing took out the stone that contained the divine charm of the Extreme Heaven Saber that he had obtained in the Immortal Cleansing Pool. He studied it, comprehending the divine charm inside. Gradually, he felt as though a saber shadow had flashed past his eyes.

This caused Xu Qing’s heart to tremble. He closed his eyes and tried to comprehend it.

Just like that, a night pa.s.sed.

The next morning, when Xu Qing opened his eyes, the first thing he did was to look at the stone in his hand.

“This stone can allow me to gain a deeper understanding of the Extreme Heaven Saber.” Xu Qing felt that he had gained a lot. He then checked on the little black bugs that had devoured the immortal jelly.

Under Xu Qing’s careful observation through his blood, he discovered that these little black bugs seemed to be drunk. They didn’t move at all and weren’t active.

However, their aura seemed to have changed slightly.

This piqued Xu Qing’s interest. However, they weren’t active now and he couldn’t see what had changed exactly, so he didn’t disturb them. After putting them away again, he memorized the location of the lake. He then left the tree hole and sped into the distance.

He was heading toward the ruins where the Extreme Heaven Dao Temple was located and see if he could have the opportunity to comprehend another Extreme Heaven saber strike. If he couldn’t, he was going to study that stone to comprehend more of the saber strike.

“The edges of this stone are sharp like a blade. It must be related to the Extreme Heaven Dao Temple. It’s very likely that it’s a part of a certain statue!” Xu Qing a.n.a.lyzed.

Time flowed by and ten days pa.s.sed.

During these ten days, Xu Qing continued to speed up. Occasionally, he would harvest some poisonous gra.s.s and poison from toxic beasts. He also kept on observing the group of little black bugs that had devoured the immortal jelly. However, they were still sleeping.

“Still not awake?” Xu Qing was a little surprised. If it wasn’t for the fact that he could sense that they were still alive, he would have thought that they were dead.

“Let’s wait and see.” Xu Qing looked ahead.

He could see the ruins of an ancient city in the distance that looked like it had been resting for eternity.

It was noon. The sunlight was intense but due to the lush trees, it turned into mottled light as it landed on the ground.

Through the mottled light, Xu Qing looked at the ancient city that gave off the feeling of vicissitudes of time.

He could vaguely see a tall and magnificent temple in the center of the ruined city.

The temple gave off an ancient and mysterious feeling that mixed in with the time witnessed by this city.

“I am here.” Xu Qing leaped over and walked closer to the ruins.

About ten minutes after Xu Qing stepped into the ruins…

Far away from here. On the w.a.n.ggu Continent, an earth-shattering event happened, causing all the forces in the Yinghuang Province to feel great waves in their hearts.

The taboo magic treasure of the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect in the Seven Sects Alliance was used again after nearly 200 years!

It was as though they wanted to destroy the entire Seven Blood Eyes!

The reason was that seven days ago, the Seven Sects Alliance issued another transfer order and decree to the Seven Blood Eyes, but Xue Lianzi was still stalling.

A day ago, the senate in the Seven Sects Alliance’s highest conference made a unified decision and sent an envoy to the Seven Blood Eyes.

The content of the decision was for Xue Lianzi and the seven peak lords to return to the Alliance to apologize within a day. If they didn’t come, they would destroy the Seven Blood Eyes along with all the disciples!

They also informed all the nonhuman and foreign forces in the Seven Blood Eyes to leave in three days; otherwise, when the Seven Blood Eyes faced the punishment, they would also have to bear the consequences.

This matter caused a commotion in many areas. A large number of nonhumans who came to visit the Seven Blood Eyes left one after another. A large number of people from the Seven Sects Alliance also left. The entire Seven Blood Eyes was in turmoil and everyone was in a state of panic.

However, Xue Lianzi didn’t give an answer even after a day. The Seven Sects Alliance was furious and the taboo magic treasure of the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect was activated.

It transformed into a monstrous blood light and soared into the sky from the Seven Sects Alliance, forming a blood-colored seed in the air that headed straight for… the north!

It wasn’t headed toward the Seven Blood Eyes in the south but the north!

In the Yinghuang Province, there was a mountain and a river that crossed each other, connecting the east, west, south, and north of the Yinghuang Province. The mountain was the Grand Affairs Misfortune Pa.s.sing Mountain and the river was the Immortal Enrichment River.

The Grand Affairs Misfortune Pa.s.sing Mountain connected the north and south and the Immortal Enrichment River connected the west and east. The place where they intersected was the center of the Yinghuang Province and in there was a sect.

This sect was called the Minor Affairs Sect and wasn’t directly related to the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect. However, any large faction knew that this Minor Affairs Sect was a p.a.w.n supported by the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect to suppress the Seven Sects Alliance.

A large dam was built at the sect’s location, blocking a tributary of the Immortal Enrichment River that should have flowed down the mountain path and reached the Seven Sects Alliance’s estuary.

With the tributary blocked, the cleansing degree of the spiritual energy and anomalous substances in the Seven Sects Alliance was greatly affected.

To the Seven Sects Alliance, the Minor Affairs Sect was like a fishbone in their throats. They had sent the request to remove the dam many times, but the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect always intervened and proposed harsh conditions.

If the Seven Sects Alliance wanted to make a move against the Minor Affairs Sect, unless they could instantly conclude the battle, they would definitely be stopped. At the same time, under the checks and balances of the various forces, activating the Taboo for no reason would definitely attract suspicion.

Moreover, the other factions were happy to see the human race fighting among themselves and added fuel to the fire, causing the situation of the Seven Sects Alliance to become increasingly unbearable.

At that moment, the target of the blood-colored seed formed by the taboo magic treasure that erupted from the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect… was none other than the Minor Affairs Sect!

Its speed was so fast that the blood-colored seed instantly pa.s.sed through an endless distance and landed in the Minor Affairs Sect.

This was the Seven Sects Alliance’s true plan under the cover of conflict with the Seven Blood Eyes.

They seemed to have a huge conflict with the Seven Blood Eyes and were acting aggressively, but in reality, all of this was smoke. It was to find a reason to activate the Taboo and to pull out the fish bone from their throats!

The blood-colored seed landed and a strange blood tree rose from the ground of the Minor Affairs Sect and towered into the sky.

With a sway of the tree, more than half of the cultivators in the Minor Affairs Sect collapsed and died on the spot. Their blood was swept into the tree, and the remaining cultivators were also heavily injured.

With another sway, the sect rumbled; the ground shattered and buildings collapsed. The large dam even exploded into pieces.

Without the obstruction of the dam, the surging Immortal Enrichment River flowed along the Grand Affairs Misfortune Pa.s.sing Mountain Path.

When it swayed the third time, the blood tree bloomed and an ancient voice rang out.

“The evidence is conclusive that the Minor Affairs Sect killed our Alliance’s disciples. Exterminate the Minor Affairs Sect!”

The blood intent in the sky surged and formed an array formation. A hundred or so figures appeared from inside and every one of them had astonis.h.i.+ng auras and violent killing intent!

Everything happened too quickly.

Previously, in order to intimidate the Seven Blood Eyes, a total of three sects had initiated the taboo magic treasures. Although they only activated the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect’s Taboo earlier, in the next instant, the other six sects also activated their taboo magic treasures. Immediately, the sky above the entire Seven Sects Alliance changed colors.

The world was shaken!
