Chapter 992: Chapter 990: A Bird Arrives
In the True Martial Dynasty, while the Ministry of Works was preparing to forcibly send "Wu Shang" into the Heaven Martial Continent.
Among the Nine Heavens, on the Southern Diaspora land, Hongxiu also issued an order to enter Heaven Martial at all costs, with Wen Qingshan serving as the team leader.
At the moment he received the order, Wen Qingshan was stunned for a moment, thinking he had misheard.
He had been in the Wuji Sect for so many years but had never led a team or done anything significant.
Wen Qingshan was excited: "After keeping a low profile for hundreds of years, has the truth finally been revealed?"
"Stop joking, currently only the Void Force can possibly open the passage to the Heaven Martial Continent, and that is your task as the team leader." The Fairy was ethereal, as if descending from the heavens.
"If you can’t speak, you don’t have to." Wen Qingshan rolled his eyes and snorted.
Hehe!
The Sword Immortal’s Successor, Zhang Ziyu, laughed: "I wonder how many powerful members of the Divine Clan there will be? This Young Master is starting to get excited."
A group of three, Wen Qingshan, the Fairy, Zhang Ziyu, along with Mao Qiu and Hei.
As for Chen Shixian, he went into seclusion, reportedly about to break through to the realm of King Tao, shocking the entire Wuji Sect upon hearing this.
A dignified Ancient Divine Body is actually still at the peak of Supreme Mystery?
Yue Wuxia returned to the Southern Region to verify some matters.
Hongxiu originally wanted to send several more experts from the sect, but thinking of the difficulties of the passage, she shook her head and suppressed the idea.
These guys have all grown up, Void Body, Fairy, Sword Immortal’s Successor, if they can fend off the Divine Clan and thwart their schemes, then three people are enough. If not, sending more people won’t make a difference.
Moreover, Li Qi and An are also in Heaven Martial, and if these individuals join forces, there shouldn’t be much of a problem.
The three of them dwindled away amid their noise and commotion...
Zhuge Wushuang had a headache: "I have an ominous premonition."
Hongxiu glanced over: "You need to have faith in them."
"..."
Faith?
That’s hard to have!
Out of the trio, two of them are still very new to this, quite a high proportion!
Thinking of this, Zhuge Wushuang sighed: "What if they fail?"
"They will succeed." Hongxiu raised her head.
"Is the Furnace Plan real?"
"It should be."
"The Investiture of the Gods’ mark cannot fall into the hands of the Divine Clan, this is our last chance."
"Recently, the Ancient Road is stirring; if you’re interested, you could take a look." Hongxiu said.
Hmm?
Zhuge Wushuang’s gaze sharpened as he asked solemnly, "What do you mean?"
Hongxiu spoke, "Shisan said that a large army of the Divine Clan will enter Nine Heavens, so... I intend to capture the Ancient City in the shortest time possible."
Zhuge Wushuang stood dazed, just looking at her.
Capture the Ancient City?
Since the Human Emperor established the Ancient City, no one has ever dared to say such a thing.
Isn’t this? Too crazy?
But thinking carefully, the Ancient City is the only correct passage. If it continues to be guarded by the alliance, their situation will become even more passive.
Capturing the Ancient City is imperative and is also the first step for the Wuji Sect to conquer the Heavens.
Thinking this through, Zhuge Wushuang grew excited, his blood gradually boiling, and his eyes gleaming: "Yes, after hundreds of years of training, it is time."
Hongxiu looked at him: "You are fully responsible for this mission. Take as many people as you need. Your only goal is to capture the Ancient Road."
Zhuge Wushuang smiled: "Not a big problem!" He said and strode away.
The Wuji Sect’s second-in-command has not taken action for over a hundred years. No one knows to what extent he has progressed, but everyone in the Wuji Sect knows that this second-in-command’s strength is already unfathomable.
Behind him!
Hongxiu, in a red dress akin to a vibrant summer flower, stood tall atop a high mountain peak, watching Zhuge Wushuang leave.
Whoosh!
The Void rippled, and a piece of paper suddenly appeared.
With a wave of her jade hand, she captured the paper, and then several lines of text appeared clearly: "The Divine Clan army is preparing to enter Nine Heavens."
A Shadow infiltrating the Heavens, conveyed such a message back in a unique way.
Hongxiu was moved.
The speed of the Divine Clan army was faster than she had imagined!
......
Deep within the Heaven Martial Continent.
In the rolling, boiling river of blood, a shadow sped swiftly; she was the Ancient Phoenix.
But very bizarrely, despite her speed, akin to a lightning bolt, half an hour passed, and she still hadn’t reached the place of the blood sacrifice.
It seemed she was trapped.
After a few more minutes, the Ancient Phoenix finally stopped, cursing: "Damn guy, to set up an Array like this with illusions, don’t you find it cumbersome?"
The power of the blood sacrifice was terrifying, and with the Mighty Power of the God lingering, ordinary cultivators didn’t dare approach these places, let alone break arrays.
She was sure that even an Emperor Realm expert would be helpless.
Just like that!
The guy who set up the Array even added an illusion. The Ancient Phoenix trembled in anger, spending another 10 minutes to finally break the illusion.
By the time she reached the entrance of the blood sacrifice, two hours had already passed.
She was panting heavily.
Screech!
A small figure burst into the bloody sky, only to be met with several terrifying sword lights slashing towards her.
"Wait..." The Ancient Phoenix exclaimed in surprise.
After a few dodges, she learned the truth. These sword lights weren’t aimed at her but were from a dozen Sword Saints trying to break the Blood Sacrifice Array.
Great!
The Ancient Phoenix was dumbfounded. Have the strongest Sword Saints from the various worlds gathered here?
Their Sword Dao was strong, and the Sword Intent they unleashed even more so, majestic and imposing, deep and oppressive... shaking the entire space with tremors.
Unfortunately, the Array before them was too strong. Even as Sword Saints, they couldn’t shake it in the slightest.
"There’s a bird." A middle-aged man noticed the Ancient Phoenix and spoke.
"Very strange, where did she come from?"
"Wait... don’t act yet, she seems to come from the outside." The Scarlet Swordsman said with determination, his expression serious: "Did your master send you?"
"..."
"Can she not speak?"
"She probably can."
"She just spoke a moment ago, but it was unclear."
"Just a bird..." said one Sword Saint dismissively, reluctant to pin their hopes on this bird, especially since it was from a pet from the Heaven Martial Continent’s cultivators.
For in the rumors about Heaven Martial Continent, this place was said to be bleak, where even a King Tao could hardly emerge.
Everyone debated, curious about the Ancient Phoenix’s appearance but not placing much hope on her...
The Ancient Phoenix was furious when she heard this: "You lot from the Heavens, I was ordered to come here to save you, and yet you act so high and mighty, so self-righteous, completely ignoring me..."
She can speak!
The dozen Sword Saints exchanged glances. They had heard it before, but it was too vague, and... even when they used Divine Sense to probe, they couldn’t detect any fluctuations from this bird.
She seemed more like an ordinary Demon Bird.
However, this Demon Bird spoke very arrogantly.
The Sword Saints, aware of their lack of reason, didn’t argue back.
The Scarlet Swordsman took a deep breath and quickly asked: "May I ask for the young lady’s name?"
"Hong." She uttered the name.
"Can Young Lady Hong break the array?" he asked again.
This was the point.
The Ancient Phoenix snorted, looking proud: "Of course I can!"
Upon hearing this, the group of Sword Saints exchanged glances again. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to believe, but... they looked at the Ancient Phoenix up and down, sensing her internal energy fluctuations.
They really couldn’t convince themselves.
This bird was too ordinary, right?
Of course, the group of Sword Saints had long been helpless against this array. At this point, they could only pin their hopes on this bird before them.
The Scarlet Swordsman calmed down and immediately said: "Please, young lady, lend us a hand."
