Chapter 523: Central Immortal Mansion Sacrifices to the Divine King! (Part 2)
Lin Yan slightly shook his head, gripped the Night Illuminating Divine Sword.
Xu Dingye pondered and said, "This must be a trap."
Everyone fell silent.
This is definitely a trap!
If the Saint Master fears and dares not go, they will sacrifice the Human Clan, open the Central Immortal Mansion, and seize the opportunities within.
If the Saint Master goes, they will surely be prepared to ambush.
"Saint Master, this is not about being timid; it's about biding your time and gathering strength."
The one who spoke was the junior monk of the Holy Land, the brother of the previous generation's Saint Master, the only one in recent years from South Mountain Sacred Land to reach the Refining God Realm before Xu Gong.
He looked at Lin Yan and said solemnly, "Your future prospects are limitless; how can you risk yourself?"
"...…"
Lin Yan exhaled and said, "Back in High Willow City, there was a Martial Artist in the Refining Essence Realm, old and frail, using every means to advance to the Qi Refining Realm, committing numerous evils and colluding with the Tribulation Ash..."
"He believed that once he advanced to the Qi Refining Realm, he could make a greater contribution to the Human Clan."
"And so thought the Marquis Wangxi of the Holy Alliance."
"They all believed in their limitless future prospects."
"And if I fear and avoid battle today, watching tens of thousands of elite troops and two Human Martial Saints be sacrificed alive, not daring to act, how would I be different from them?"
Lin Yan said, "Even if it's a trap, I must go!"
Everyone remained silent, saying nothing.
Lin Yan took a deep breath and said, "If I cannot clear the troubles before me, how can I settle the affairs of the world? This is their deliberate scheme!"
Attacking the Demon Domain is led by the Saint Master!
All the Human Clan warriors entering the Demon Domain follow the orders of the Saint Master.
They risked their lives to fight the evil demons!
The Saint Master is hailed as the hope of the Human Clan's future!
If the Saint Master dares not take the risk today and abandons them, in the future, will they also abandon the Human Clan to preserve their hope?
And in doing so, does the Saint Master betray his grand vow made to the Ancient Immortals?
It is against one's heart!
It goes against the oath!
A lifelong heart's knot becomes a heart's tribulation!
Taking the step to become a Human Martial Saint will be even more difficult!
"Kill!"
Lin Yan slashed the neck of the Great Saint of Cloud Crane, then moved forward, lotus blooming at his feet.
As everyone was about to pursue, they heard the Saint Master's voice.
"Occupy this Holy Land, and before it becomes a Forbidden Land, hang the corpse of the Great Saint of Cloud Crane to deter all sides of the Demon Domain!"
——
Central Immortal Mansion.
For the Human Clan, the Demon Domain is a Forbidden Land.
But for the Demon Domain, the location of this Central Immortal Mansion is even more a Forbidden Land.
Even small demons and Wandering Evil Spirits usually dare not approach.
And those evil beings with Spiritual Wisdom are even more afraid.
"The formation is set."
The Great Venerable swallowed an elixir calmly and said, "A sacrifice array can also be a killing formation!"
"Will the Saint Master really come?"
A white-haired beast said sinisterly, "The opportunities within the Central Immortal Mansion are not for me to take. I only wish to devour the Saint Master. If the Saint Master does not come, I will eat you!"
This is the Physical Body Evil!
If Lin Yan arrives, he would certainly not be unfamiliar with it!
This Physical Body Evil, in the past, sought longevity by devouring the Dao Rhythm of the Master of the Holy Land, having lived since the time of the First Human Emperor as a person out of control!
"No need for concern, elder."
Another person, clad in a black robe, said eerily, "The Human Clan's Saint Master is renowned throughout the world, receiving the reverence of all beings, and is acknowledged by all!"
"But if he does not come, his reputation will surely be tarnished, scorned by all, leaving a stench for ten thousand years, and suffering backlash..."
"He received the blessings from the Ancient Immortals with a grand vow, and if he breaks it, who knows what may happen!"
"Moreover, he is rash, and upon hearing of this matter, will surely come!"
"Even if he realizes it is a trap, he still will not retreat."
"If he retreats, he is not a Saint Master who could issue a grand vow."
"If he does not come, becoming a Human Martial Saint will be delayed for at least half his life!"
With the words of this person, the atmosphere in the scene grew even more tense.
The Great Venerable said slowly, "If he does not come, we will open the Central Immortal Mansion, the opportunities within shared with the elder upon coming out! If you disbelieve, we can make a great vow!"
"If he comes..."
A man in a white robe said softly, "He is not easy to kill! I awoke overseas, learning of his slaying of the Profound Ice Chi Dragon King and the retreat of the Water Element Thunder Venerable... These two had deeper foundations than me, having broken through Extreme Heaven to obtain the Heavenly Talisman!"
Upon hearing this, the Great Venerable pondered, "Whether the Saint Master can grow with the Heavenly Talisman is indeed uncertain!"
"If the Heavenly Talisman could be used, the Master of the Holy Alliance would not have nearly died overseas!"
The man in black robe said eerily, "From what I have learned, the Heavenly Talisman, even if given to the Supreme Pavilion of Heavenly Destiny City and the wise scholars of the Creation Law Lineage, would not be unraveled within a hundred years!"
"He was able to slay the Profound Ice Chi Dragon King for two reasons: the Tribulation Treasure Ship left by the Upper Heaven and his Heavenly Eye."
The white-haired beast said slowly, "We have already obtained a method to counter the Heavenly Eye! As for the Tribulation Treasure Ship..."
"The Duke Wei Ling of the Demon Domain has old ties with me!"
The man in black robe said indifferently, "Before the death of Duke Wei Ling, he confirmed... That the Fire God Pearl on the Tribulation Treasure Ship was nearly exhausted! Without the Fire God Pearl, the Tribulation Treasure Ship is just a turtle shell, incapable of long-range attacks!"
"That's perfect."
The white-haired beast said grimly, "Li Chengdao, the young one, although adept in Artifact Refining, is not the strongest! Before his slumber, I met him once... With his skills, even with sufficient materials, he could not produce a hundred Fire God Pearls in a fortnight!"
"This way, he cannot rely solely on the Nine Yang Bell and Heavenly Blue Lotus to remain undefeated! Based on the intelligence you provided, with the loss of these resources, it is difficult to predict how the Saint Master will fare!"
"But rest assured, we have means to deal with the Saint Master!"
The Great Venerable confidently declared.
"Here he comes!"
A voice said, as the atmosphere grew more tense.
In the air hung Yi Feng, his body pierced by Old God's Magic Objects.
Below, sixty thousand elite of the Human Clan were already intimidated by the immense power, trembling in awe.
Hong Xiao was also there, suspended by an iron hook through his chest.
The two of them exchanged a glance, their expressions somber.
They were just about to trace it, when the voice of the Saint Master came echoing.
"Occupy this Holy Land, hang the corpse of the Great Saint of Cloud Crane before it turns into a Forbidden Land, to deter all sides of the Demon Domain!"
They had planned to attack Cloud Crane, but were captured on the spot by these four supreme beings of the Saint Realm due to a tip-off on their whereabouts.
"Saint Master is sure to come to the rescue."
Ei Feng the Great Saint said calmly, "How can we be guilty if the Saint Master comes to our aid?"
"You think the Saint Master is really going to come?"
A white-haired evil beast said in a sinister tone, "The opportunities in the Central Immortal Mansion, I dare not take them. I only wish to devour the Saint Master, and if the Saint Master does not come this time, I would rather devour you!"
