Realm-Hopping Martial Master

Chapter 1154: Chapter 619: War Alliance’s Secret

Zhan Jiuxiao broke the silence heavy with the weight of a thousand jun, his voice low, carrying an undeniable certainty, not a question, but a statement.

"Speak freely."

Jiang Shu slowly straightened up, raising his eyes, meeting Zhan Jiuxiao’s sharp gaze that seemed capable of piercing through one’s heart without flinching.

He took a deep breath, the warm flow of air full of Creation Aura, now slightly astringent, carrying an urgency to clear away the mist.

"Uncle Zhan, I do have a question I want to ask."

To Jiang Shu, the Star Ruins Realm is very important.

Only by ensuring the specific situation of the Star Ruins Realm can he conveniently act within the Demon Domain.

If the Star Ruins Realm is too dangerous, then he must be extremely cautious in all his actions within the Demon Domain.

Jiang Shu’s voice was calm, yet every word was clear, echoing through the silent Great Hall, causing Zhan Yun, who was healing nearby, to slightly open his eyelids.

"Strictly speaking, I’m not a person of the War Alliance, and I have no right to ask about many things, nor am I qualified to know them."

"But the pollution in the Ancient Battle Soul Path Secret Realm, and even the fall of the entire Secret Realm World, where even the heroic spirits of my Human Clan ancestors are tainted with filth, along with many matters before the Secret Realm’s opening, I believe these things are not isolated or accidental, but rather someone is secretly causing trouble."

"Early on, when I entered the War Alliance, stepping onto the Nine Battle Ancient Road, the law therein read my battle memories with the Mechanical Mother. That night, the War God Atlas in my room changed, and the War God images on it emitted a terrifying aura, even morphing into the form of the Mechanical Mother."

"I was deeply trapped, barely surviving, and at the deepest part of the world’s prototype, I saw an eerie altar whose aura, on first impression, was entirely different from that in the War God Atlas, but after careful thought, it seems they originate from the same source."

"Previously, Zhan Feng came to see me, telling me that the reason for the War Alliance’s lockdown is due to some small issues in the War Alliance’s Ancestral Land."

"Zhan Feng is my brother, and I naturally believe what he says, but I don’t understand. That is the War Alliance’s Ancestral Land, and in some respects, it is also the Ancestral Land of my Human Clan. There are several Supreme Elders suppressing it, yet this still leads to the War Alliance’s lockdown, and even Zi Ling has disappeared, followed by the pollution of the Ancient Battle Soul Path."

"There must be a connection between these two, and I even suspect it is because of the issues in the War Alliance’s Ancestral Land that have led to these events in the Ancient Battle Soul Path."

"Uncle Zhan, things have come to this, and I should know the truth of these matters."

Each question raised was like a stone thrown into a deep pool, stirring silent ripples.

The other logistical elders in the hall, though busy arranging the unconscious Zhan Feng and others, noticeably paused for a moment before pretending not to hear and continuing their tasks, but everyone knew they were equally curious about the truth of this matter.

Even the incarnations of the five Supreme Elders standing silently like deep seas, the mist surrounding them seemed to freeze for a moment.

Zhan Jiuxiao’s eyes suddenly turned incredibly deep, sharply fixed on Jiang Shu’s face like an eagle.

He did not immediately answer, only the invisible pressure seemed to thicken, and the air became sticky.

The War Alliance, being one of the strongest forces in the Cosmic, its core area suddenly went under lockdown without any warning. This is a signal of an impending storm for the entire universe, with significant impact, yet until now, no proper information has come from the War Alliance.

This is too abnormal.

Jiang Shu felt the Creation Seed in the depths of his Spirit Platform tremble slightly from the abrupt increase in oppressive force.

Zhan Jiuxiao’s mood wasn’t anger at an outsider touching the core secrets, but more like an assessment of being touched on the secret core with a hint of helplessness.

After a full five breaths of silence, Zhan Jiuxiao finally spoke slowly, his voice as solemn as thousand-year-old ice, each word seeming to pound on one’s heart:

"What Zhan Feng said, there is no problem."

With these words, he acknowledged the fundamental point.

Indeed, there is a problem with the Ancestral Land!

"The War Alliance’s Ancestral Land was refined by my Human Clan ancestors with their blood, flesh, and divine souls, serving as a sacred place to connect with the Origin Law Star Sea, inherit undying battle intent, and is the energy source that upholds the Great Array of the War Alliance, defending the Core Star Domain, also suppressing numerous chaos-causing Giant Demons."

"A millennia of slumber, eternally stable."

Zhan Jiuxiao’s gaze swept across the void, as if reminiscing about that once magnificent and sacred existence.

"However, just a month ago, the Star Map warned, that the core forbidden area deep within the Ancestral Land where the Ancient Battle Soul Stele is sealed, experienced severe anomalies in Spiritual Source fluctuation, protective restrictions repeatedly failed, and an extremely subtle yet extremely evil aura mysteriously seeped out, even someone like me in this realm wouldn’t notice without a careful investigation."

"This bone-clinging maggot carries unprecedented malice, wanting to pollute the Ancestral Land Spiritual Veins, to decay the battle intent of my Human Clan ancestors!"

His tone carried an almost imperceptible weight.

"Initially, we too thought it was a normal fluctuation over the long years, or that there was a slight oversight in the Ancestral Land’s seal of those Great Demons, so we dispatched a Venerable level elder with an Ancient Array Plate to investigate and repair."

Jiang Shu held his breath, eyes bright.

He knew, the key point was coming.

"But that Venerable Elder who went deep into the Ancestral Land was like a clay ox entering the sea, not only failing to stabilize the situation, his Life Soul Jade Scroll shattered completely without warning a few days later!"
