Chapter 1623: Chapter 1622: Sword Rain!
"It should be here."
Qin Feng looked up in the direction of the Wanxing Sect, from afar, he could see the peak of the Wanxing Sect.
"No way? Didn’t you say the Dragon Root is on the Wanxing Sect’s territory? If there were a Dragon Root here, the Wanxing Sect should be heavily guarded, but this is just an abandoned village!" someone else said.
The others also expressed their doubts.
Luo Jinhong glanced around and said, "This village indeed used to belong to the Wanxing Sect, but it has evidently been destroyed by the Heavenly Destiny Sect, so how could there be a Dragon Root?"
"No mistake, it’s right here."
Qin Feng said with great certainty.
According to the Dragon and Phoenix Divine Sense’s exploration in the tunnel at the back mountain of the Wanxing Sect, the location is roughly here.
"If nothing unexpected happens, it’s just below us!"
Qin Feng pointed at the ground beneath his feet.
The crowd exchanged glances, even more puzzled.
"So you mean, we need to dig a hole downwards now?" the Silver-haired Elder asked.
"No, doing that would just alert them. We need to wait until the Heavenly Destiny Sect attacks the Wanxing Sect, then we make our move. By then, even if the Wanxing Sect notices something unusual, they won’t have time to care about us." Qin Feng said.
Reluctantly, the crowd followed his advice, sitting on the ground and looking towards the mountain peak of the Wanxing Sect.
"Will the Heavenly Destiny Sect really go? It’s been so long, and it’s still so quiet..." someone waited impatiently.
Seeing this, Qin Feng said, "I’ll go take a look."
Then.
He once again used the Dragon and Phoenix Divine Sense, heading into the sky.
He looked down on every move of the Wanxing Sect from the sky.
He noticed that almost everyone in the Wanxing Sect was in the back mountain cave, seemingly all there to guard the Dragon Root, which made him secretly grateful for his correct decision not to recklessly dig downwards. Apparently, the previous detection by Emperor Wujian’s Divine Sense made him alert.
Now the only hope was the Heavenly Destiny Sect!
Just as he expected!
At this moment, Qin Feng’s Dragon and Phoenix Divine Sense saw from high in the sky a large crowd, like a flood, rushing towards the mountain peak, numbering in the thousands!
It was the people of the Heavenly Destiny Sect!
Emperor Wujian stood alone in the square, facing thousands from the Heavenly Destiny Sect without a trace of fear, and said, "The Wanxing Sect has long stated its neutral stance, not involving in the struggle for the Master of Sumeru Mountain. Why do you come to our mountain gate to cause trouble?"
"Emperor Wujian!"
Elder Hun Tian from the Heavenly Destiny Sect came forward, full of anger, and said, "You liar! We’ve already uncovered your plot of ten thousand years, the Dragon Root is right here with you!"
"I don’t know what you’re talking about."
Emperor Wujian said.
"Stop pretending! Get out of the way and let us search here!"
Elder Hun Tian shouted.
"Hmph! In my territory, no one dares to act recklessly!" Emperor Wujian said coldly, "Besides, I’d love to know who said there’s a Dragon Root here with us!"
"You don’t need to worry about that, we know your scheme! According to the information we received, the Demon Suppression Hall has already come! We’re the last to know!"
Elder Hun Tian was somewhat indignant.
Upon receiving the news, he didn’t quite believe it, but after a trip to the Demon Suppression Hall, he found it had long been abandoned. Logically, they wouldn’t abandon their Mountain Protection Array and all move elsewhere, as that would only lead to a quicker demise. The only explanation was that they were also coming to find the Dragon Root!
"Haha, so you were stirred up by the Demon Suppression Hall." Emperor Wujian chuckled calmly and said, "Look around, is there anyone from the Demon Suppression Hall here?"
"..."
Elder Hun Tian and the others, hearing this, couldn’t help but be slightly skeptical, too.
Indeed, along the way, they hadn’t seen any signs of fighting or any trace of the Demon Suppression Hall.
Could it be that the Demon Suppression Hall deliberately sowed discord?
It’s possible!
"Damn it! We’ve been deceived!" Elder Hun Tian said angrily, then cupped his hands towards Emperor Wujian and said, "Apologies for the offense today. We shall make amends another day! Let’s go!"
Upon finishing, he was about to leave with the others.
In the high sky, Qin Feng’s Divine Sense saw this scene, his brows tightly furrowed.
If that’s the case, then the plan is completely foiled.
With a thought.
He immediately rushed with the Dragon and Phoenix Divine Sense directly towards the direction of the mountain cave.
With this rush.
Emperor Wujian also sensed his Divine Sense and instantly made an instantaneous movement to chase after it.
The commotion was too large; Qin Feng even used the Dragon Phoenix Illusion to call out in the air, attracting attention. This immediately left the advancing Heavenly Destiny Sect puzzled.
"Elder, regardless if it’s true or not, why don’t we take a look first before speaking!"
Someone suggested.
Elder Hun Tian thought for a moment, then ordered everyone to go to the back mountain.
Anyway, with the Heavenly Destiny Sect’s strength today, after annihilating the Demon Suppression Hall, the next target was to fully deal with the Wanxing Sect, and now they weren’t afraid of them.
Soon.
Thousands of people grandly marched towards the back mountain.
Upon arriving here, everyone noticed there was a cave entrance.
At this time.
Due to Qin Feng’s Dragon and Phoenix Divine Sense, Emperor Wujian and quite a few from the Wanxing Sect had gathered here, blocking the cave entrance!
Qin Feng’s Dragon and Phoenix Divine Sense, having attracted them, also immediately retreated.
With the Heavenly Destiny Sect’s distraction, he also managed to leave smoothly.
"What’s inside the cave?"
Elder Hun Tian asked.
Emperor Wujian, now angry, said, "Hmph! Elder Hun Tian, let me advise you: the most important thing is to know your place. Coming to the Wanxing Sect’s territory to cause trouble truly shows you have no respect for me?"
Elder Hun Tian’s brows knitted tightly, subconsciously taking a half-step back.
No choice.
Emperor Wujian can be said to be the first person of Mist Cloud Mountain.
It is precisely because of him that the mediocre Wanxing Sect has flourished for ten thousand years.
It can be said he alone upheld a sect.
The others are essentially window dressing.
In the many great wars over the millennia, as long as he was involved, the Heavenly Destiny Sect and the Demon Suppression Hall would give him some respect.
However.
The Heavenly Destiny Sect is no longer what it used to be!
With the allegiance of two hundred thousand humans, the power their residual souls can exert is even stronger!
"Emperor Wujian, we know you’re strong, but you should also know how powerful we’ve become! I’ll give you a chance, hand over the Dragon Root, or you know the consequences, we of the Heavenly Destiny Sect are not to be trifled with!" Elder Hun Tian mustered the courage and said coldly.
"At this point, let’s see how arrogant you can be!"
With those words, Emperor Wujian waved his sleeve.
In the air, hundreds of longswords of varied colors appeared, shimmering with dazzling glows, and shouted, "Sword Rain!!"
Shhh——!
Shhh——!
The longswords, like multi-colored rain lines, directly attacked the crowd.
One residual soul after another was pierced to death.
Screams echoed incessantly!
Elder Hun Tian had mainly come this time to test the waters, not expecting Emperor Wujian to directly get aggressive. Hastily, he sent a signal to the headquarters.
The signal had just been sent out.
Emperor Wujian was already in front of him, lifted his sword finger, and with a laser-like Sword Radiance, directly pierced through his chest!
