Chapter 535 Vowing to Destroy the Star Palace, Leaving No One Alone
Chapter 535 Vowing to Destroy the Star Palace, Leaving No One Alone
Chen Tianba and Xiao Qiushui had long heard of the great name of Yujing City, one of the five major cities in the Central Region, and the most prosperous.
"As for the harvest..."
Ye Xinghe deliberately dragged out his words, whetting their appetites, before saying casually, "It's probably more than half of the total combined in the Western and Northern Regions."
"puff!"
The two of them gasped in shock, almost spitting blood.
"So much? You...you're all eating it all by yourselves?"
Xiao Qiushui clutched her chest, her face a picture of heartbreak. "Junior Sister, you don't love me anymore!"
Chen Tianba also threw a tantrum, yelling, "I don't care! Next time there's a good thing like this, you have to take me! Otherwise, I'm going to stay on Jade Maiden Peak and never leave!"
The two of them clung to Shen Rugo's arms, one on each side, stubbornly refusing to let go, their faces showing grievance.
At this moment, Daoist Xingchen arrived upon hearing the news. His face darkened, and he shouted in a deep voice, "What kind of behavior is this! Get up, all of you!"
"Master!"
Chen Tianba and Xiao Qiushui immediately let go of each other and ran to Xingchen Daoren to complain, "They've gone out to do something big behind our backs again, you be the judge!"
Unexpectedly, the Starry Sky Taoist raised his hand and slapped the two of them.
"Neither of you has even broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. Going there would only be a hindrance. How dare you complain? Aren't you ashamed?"
"You old bastard, you not only didn't help us, you even hit us..."
The two men were furious and rolled up their sleeves, ready to fight.
"If you dare to utter another word, you'll be confined for three years and barred from participating in the sect's grand competition!"
Star Daoist's face darkened!
"You old codger, threatening us?"
The two immediately jumped up and shouted.
Shen Rugo suppressed a laugh, took out two items from her storage ring, and handed them to the two of them: "Senior brother, these are for you."
Chen Tianba took it and examined it. It was a fist-sized piece of golden ore, warm to the touch, with a faint golden glow: "This is..."
"Ninth-grade material, Solar Essence Gold. It is most suitable for tempering your Vajra Body and helping you break through to the Nascent Soul stage."
Xiao Qiushui now held a jade bottle containing a drop of crimson blood. The blood churned within the bottle, and faint phantom images of ferocious beasts roared from within.
"This is the essence blood of the ancient ferocious beast Taotie. Although it cannot compare to your Qiongqi bloodline, it belongs to the same lineage of ferocious beasts. After absorbing it, it should help you break through the bottleneck of the Nascent Soul stage."
The two men beamed with joy as they looked at the treasure in their hands.
"Junior Sister is still the best!"
"Our junior sister loves us the most!"
Everyone couldn't help but shake their heads and chuckle.
Xingchen Daoist suddenly looked at Shen Rugo and asked, "Rugo, are the resources we borrowed this time enough?"
"That's enough." Shen Rugo nodded with a smile.
"That's good. From now on, everyone will go into seclusion and cultivate diligently. No one is allowed to cause any trouble before the sect competition."
With his eyes wide open and his face full of majesty, Daoist Xingchen truly resembled a real sect leader!
The border between the Central and Western Regions!
"I'm so angry!"
"Boom!"
The entire mountain crumbled under the furious blow of the Blood Coffin Ancestor, with all the rocks turning into dust that shot into the sky, creating billowing smoke and dust that covered an area of dozens of miles.
His body hovered in mid-air, surrounded by surging crimson energy waves. The blood coffin inside his body also burst out, floating heavily behind him, emitting a nauseatingly thick stench of blood.
His face was distorted and his knuckles were cracking.
"The Star Palace! What a magnificent Star Palace!"
The Blood Coffin Ancestor's voice was hoarse like a broken gong. He, a dignified peak Nascent Soul cultivator, had actually been outmaneuvered by a few inexperienced juniors and slipped away right under his nose!
Just then, several streaks of light tore through the sky and sped towards them.
"Ancestor!"
Ling Tian arrived at the scene with dozens of Wanbaoge elders. They were all dumbfounded when they saw the messy ruins before them.
"How...how is this possible?"
"You personally took action, yet you couldn't defeat those juniors?"
Ling Tian's voice was trembling.
The other elders looked at each other in disbelief.
"Trash! A bunch of trash!"
The Blood Coffin Ancestor suddenly turned around, and the blood coffin behind him trembled violently, with a terrifying pressure sweeping over him.
"Pfft!"
Everyone knelt down in unison, their breath catching in their throats.
"Please calm down, Ancestor! It was my fault for failing in my duties. Please punish me!"
Ling Tian kowtowed repeatedly, his voice filled with fear.
The Blood Coffin Ancestor stared at him with chilling eyes, as if he wanted to devour him alive: "What are the origins of those people? Speak!"
"Reporting to Ancestor, those people claimed to be from the Star Palace."
Ling Tian dared not conceal anything, "The leader is a little girl named Shen Rugo, who looks to be no more than twelve or thirteen years old. There are several other people with her, and it seems that there is one Nascent Soul cultivator among them..."
"Star Palace..."
A flash of blood-red light appeared in the eyes of the Blood Coffin Ancestor, as if he had suddenly remembered something.
"Ancestor, do you know about this sect?"
Ling Tian quickly replied.
"Hundreds of thousands of years ago, there was a hegemon in the cultivation world of Tianyuan Continent who ruled the entire cultivation world for countless years. Even the Lingxiao Pavilion of today cannot compare with him! Moreover, the sect's headquarters is located on the site of the current Lingxiao Pavilion!"
Could it be that this Star Palace is the same Star Palace from back then?
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Ling Tian shook his head, "This Star Palace is holed up in that desolate place in the Northwest Region, and has always been unknown. It has only recently risen to prominence. First, it robbed my Wanbaoge branches in the Western and Northern Regions, and now it has become even more audacious, daring to sneak into the Central Region to steal..."
"enough!"
The Blood Coffin Ancestor interrupted him, his killing intent surging, "Regardless of whether this Star Palace is the same one from back then, I will now march to the Northwest Region and slaughter their entire family, leaving not a single chicken or dog alive!"
Before he finished speaking, the blood coffin behind him emitted a buzzing sound, about to carry him away through the air.
"Ancestor, no! Absolutely not!"
Ling Tian was shocked and rushed forward without thinking, hugging the blood coffin tightly and shouting.
"Go away!"
With a wave of his hand, the Blood Coffin Ancestor struck Ling Tian as if he had been hit hard, spitting out blood and flying several feet away.
The other elders also kowtowed and shouted, "Ancestor, please reconsider! The Star Palace has a mountain-protecting formation that is extremely strange! Last time, we sent two Nascent Soul cultivators and dozens of Core Formation experts, and they were all wiped out. We couldn't even break through their mountain gate!"
That sect definitely holds a great secret; it probably really does have an ancient heritage!
"Ancestor, you are the greatest asset of my Wanbao Pavilion; you must not be compromised in any way!"
The Blood Coffin Ancestor was taken aback.
Ling Tian struggled to his feet, clutching his chest and shouting, "Ancestor, there's no rush to take revenge! I've already united the nine major sects to attack the Star Palace together during the sect competition!"
Moreover, we will also lay a trap along their inevitable route to the Central Region!
"As long as they dare to leave the sect and participate in the sect competition, we will surely wipe them out in one fell swoop and eliminate any future troubles!"
"Is everything you're saying true?"
"The Blood Coffin Ancestor said grimly."
“I would never dare to lie! Please look, Ancestor!”
Ling Tian hurriedly took out a jade slip and respectfully handed it over, "This is the alliance agreement signed between the nine major sects and my Wanbao Pavilion. It's agreed that we'll take action during the sect competition. Before that, I'll also arrange for experts to ambush them along the way, making them pay for their blood debts..."
