NOVPUBAmong this group of people, besides Elder Tianzhen, there is also his direct disciple, Lu Ang.
Among the Ten Thousand Arrays Five Disciples, although the Killing Array Lu Ang does not have as much fame as the Trapping Array Jue Ming,
he too is a person of exceptional talent.
Previously, when Xu Zimei went to the Holy Spring Sect, he and Lu Ang went together, and they got along quite well on the way.
"So it’s Elder Tianzhen," Xue Zelong said coldly.
"What, does the Sect Master of Blood Nether wish to discipline the Saint Heir on behalf of my True Martial Holy Sect?" Elder Tianzhen said indifferently.
"He killed people from a subordinate sect of our Blood Nether Holy Sect, what do you say we should do?" Xue Zelong took a deep breath and inquired.
He didn’t mention that Zhuo Yihang was his illegitimate son.
That was something too humiliating for him to speak of.
"Killed them? Killing those who offended the Saint Heir of my True Martial Holy Sect is already merciful without annihilating the entire sect,"
Elder Tianzhen replied indifferently.
At such times, the dignity and momentum of the Holy Sect naturally could not falter.
"Is Elder Tianzhen trying to shield the disciples of his sect?"
"There is no question of shielding. How dare a second-rate force like the Cloud Imperial Sect offend a disciple of our Holy Sect?" Elder Tianzhen said, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"Is this perhaps orchestrated at the behest of your Holy Sect?"
"You’re slandering," Xue Zelong snorted coldly, saying in anger.
"Without evidence, Elder Tianzhen should speak more cautiously."
"Sect Master, it was he who killed Yihang first. We were only preparing to capture him," the woman in the green robe explained on the side.
"Noise," Elder Tianzhen snorted coldly.
A large hand descended with the force of the Saint Vein Realm’s power.
As the large hand fell, the woman in the green robe let out a scream of agony.
"Sect Master, save me!"
A "boom" of an explosion echoed around.
Elder Tianzhen slowly withdrew his hand, and the woman in the green robe had already dissipated into ash and smoke.
"Tianzhen, you’ve gone too far," Xue Zelong growled with an embarrassed expression.
"Let this be the end of the matter," Elder Tianzhen said flatly.
"The matter of Annihilation Ridge is important, and there must be no mistakes.
I did not annihilate the Cloud Imperial Sect out of respect for you.
Does the Blood Nether Holy Sect really want to start a war with us or not?"
Hearing Elder Tianzhen’s words, Xue Zelong took a deep breath and said resentfully, "I will remember today’s events."
After that, he turned and left directly.
As for starting a war with the True Martial Holy Sect, that was obviously impossible.
The Blood Nether Holy Sect did not have the strength to do so at present.
But if a time came when someone from their sect carried Destiny, he would certainly settle scores with the True Martial Holy Sect.
...…
Elder Tianzhen turned to look at Xu Zimei and said, "You seem to attract trouble wherever you go!"
"Elder Seven is joking. I’m a victim too," Xu Zimei shook his head and said.
"Annihilation Ridge is approaching. Do you want to join us and check it out?" Elder Tianzhen asked.
"Let’s go and have a look together. Perhaps we might find some opportunities," Xu Zimei smiled and said.
Afterward, Xu Zimei and Lu Ang also greeted each other.
Everyone returned to the gathering place of the True Martial Holy Sect.
They began to quietly wait for the coming of Annihilation Ridge.
During this time, Lu Ang, out of curiosity, asked, "Master, Annihilation Ridge was the place where the Three Blades Ancestor carried out his Destiny.
Didn’t he leave anything behind?"
"Leave anything?" Elder Tianzhen asked indifferently.
"Like some clues or a map or something," Lu Ang chuckled.
He added, "Maybe it could give us a head start over others in obtaining the fortune inside."
"You’re overthinking it," Elder Tianzhen said as he looked around at the other sects.
He then whispered, "Our goal is different from theirs.
Some of them come here on the off chance of finding fortune.
Others are seeking the Great Emperor’s True Artifacts that were left behind."
"What about us?" Lu Ang asked, somewhat puzzled.
"The ancestor sealed something inside there," Elder Tianzhen replied calmly.
"We’re entering for two reasons: first, to check if the seal is intact.
Second, to reinforce the seal.
As for other things inside, they’re not our goal for this trip."
"Ah," Lu Ang was taken aback.
He pondered for a moment and then said, "How about you go check the seal, Master, and I’ll search for treasures with the Saint Heir?"
"I’ve gotten used to being on my own," Xu Zimei said with a smile, shaking her head.
"You should stay with Elder Qi.
This is a Forbidden Land, don’t oversimplify it."
"Then what should I do?" Fan Tianyi asked from the side.
"Stay outside. If you’re itching to die, you can follow us in," Xu Zimei replied.
......
After chatting for a while, Xu Zimei also met some old acquaintances.
Like the Saintess of the Chi Family, Chi Qianxue, and Mo Canghai, the Family Head of the Mo Family.
After all, they had used their Teleportation Array before.
Most of these from the Imperial Rule Immortal Sect brought their direct disciples.
Three days later, at daybreak.
The morning glow rose from the east, and the warm sunlight shone upon the earth.
The meditating crowd in the valley was drawn by a "rumbling" noise.
Everyone looked up.
In the firmament, space fluctuations intensified.
Gusts of storm surged over.
The sun, at its highest point, seemed obscured.
The rumbling, like thunder, continued for a long while.
In the end, only a heaven-shaking explosion was heard.
The space within a hundred miles burst open, and a black continent floated into view.
The true identity of this black continent was initially a mountain range.
It blocked out all the sunlight’s rays.
The mountain range stretched across hundreds of miles.
This was only what was exposed on the outer rim; most of its area was actually concealed within space.
An endless Qi of Annihilation permeated around the mountain range.
"It’s here," someone looking up at the sky said excitedly.
......
When Annihilation Ridge settled down, the surrounding Qi of Annihilation slowly began to dissipate.
Everyone rose into the air and flew towards the center of Annihilation Ridge.
The periphery of Annihilation Ridge was enveloped in a transparent film of light.
This film had strong elasticity; even Stepping into Immortality-powerhouses couldn’t break through it.
On one side of the film, there was an entrance similar to a portal.
Other forces were positioned towards the rear.
Under the lead of the True Martial Holy Sect, several major Imperial Rule Immortal Sects entered first.
Then, the other forces rushed in, each vying to be the first.
Xu Zimei did not follow the crowd from the True Martial Holy Sect.
Once he stepped into Annihilation Ridge, he felt the world before his eyes start to spin.
It was as if he was traveling from one space to another.
This situation lasted for only a short duration.
Just a few minutes later, his body began to stabilize, and the view in front of his eyes brightened.
......
Annihilation Ridge was vast.
Although so many people had entered, it was merely a drop in the ocean for this place.
Xu Zimei surveyed his surroundings.
He was in the midst of a dense jungle.
The sunlight could not penetrate the membrane above, leaving the climate here forever gloomy.
Only one kind of tree grew in the jungle where he stood.
"The Ghastly Bleak Tree!"
