Snow Moon Holy Land.
The gates of the Holy Palace had stood for hundreds of years, as glorious and majestic as ever.
Kneeling before the gates were several sect masters from the Nanli Kingdom, desperately kowtowing and begging for help!
Elder, please save us!
Elder, my entire sect has been slaughtered by Yi Feng! I only escaped death by fleeing early. I implore the Elder to lend a hand and execute that villain!
Right now, only the Holy Land can defeat the New Sword Sect. Please, Elder, seek justice for us!
The sect masters kowtowed repeatedly, but they could not move the Elder at the gate. The old man lowered his gaze, his eyes indifferent, as if none of this had anything to do with him.
When he chuckled and spoke, his words were incredibly cold!
Heh.
Your sects were destroyed, but what does that have to do with my Holy Land?
To think that your Nanli Kingdom had nearly a hundred sects, yet they were all wiped out in a single day. What a bunch of trash. How could such trash be worth the Holy Land's help!
The sect masters' expressions changed drastically upon hearing this, their eyes flashing with indignant fury!
Elder! Your words are too hurtful!
Back then, we hunted down Yi Feng for the Holy Land and lost countless disciples. Even if we lack merit, we put in the hard work. How can the Holy Land just watch us die and do nothing?
That's right! It's true we have a blood feud with Yi Feng, but it all started because of the Holy Land. You cannot just stay out of it!
Looking at the angry yet suppressed appearances of the sect masters, the Holy Land Elder's smile only grew wider.
Hahaha.
You were no match for Yi Feng because your cultivation was weak. You can't blame anyone else; if you want to blame someone, blame yourselves for being useless trash!
Furthermore, your failed pursuit back then resulted in the Holy Land's supreme treasure remaining missing to this day. You cannot escape the blame for that, yet you still have the audacity to come here and blame me?!
These successive rebukes left the sect masters of the Nanli Kingdom trembling with rage!
They originally thought that relying on past favors, they might be able to seek the Holy Land's protection and find a glimmer of survival.
They never expected this.
The Snow Moon Holy Land actually turned their backs on them, constantly mocking and ridiculing them!
To think they once believed that by hunting Yi Feng they could climb the social ladder and build a relationship with the Holy Land. Looking at it now, they had been truly blind. The elite disciples of their sects had bled and died in vain!
The sect masters were filled with grief and indignation. Disregarding the prestige of the Holy Land, they stood up one after another, pointing angrily and scolding!
You! You are pushing us too far!
Don't think that just because you are a Holy Land Elder, you are safe and sound. If Yi Feng can slaughter our hundred sects, he can massacre his way into your Snow Moon Holy Land too!
Seeing their utterly exasperated state, the Elder laughed even more brazenly!
Massacre his way into my Holy Land?
Have you fools gone mad from anger to spout such nonsense?
My Holy Land has stood for thousands of years, and our foundations are unfathomably deep. How can your third-rate sects compare? To delusionally think one can challenge us with just a few years of accumulation is simply laughable!
You don't actually think that Yi Feng would dare lead his people here to throw their lives away, do you?
Hahahaha...
As the Elder laughed aloud, the surrounding Holy Land disciples also chuckled smugly. The roaring laughter made the sect masters feel humiliated and furious, yet they were utterly helpless.
It wasn't until this moment.
That they finally understood: the Holy Land had merely used them back then and never took them seriously!
They had desperately tried to curry favor and suffered massive losses hunting down Yi Feng, only to end up with their sects completely annihilated. The sect masters' eyes were filled with endless regret!
As the laughter echoed before the Holy Land gates, the men were so enraged that their eyes nearly split open; they wished they could fight the Holy Land to the bitter end!
Right at this moment.
A light chuckle echoed from the sky, and a terrifying pressure enveloped heaven and earth!
Hmph.
I haven't seen you in a few years, and you've become even more shameless. Truly worthy of being a Holy Land.
In an instant.
A bone-piercing chill shot through everyone's bodies, and they all looked up in shock.
Thousands of figures appeared, so densely packed they were impossible to count. All of them were formidable cultivators. The dozen or so people at the front exuded an even more terrifying pressure, especially the four leading figures, whose auras completely locked down the entire area of the Holy Land!
When they clearly saw the leading figure in white holding a sword, the eyes of everyone from the Holy Land trembled!
The Grand Elder's face turned deathly pale as he cried out in a trembling voice!
Yi Feng!
The immature genius who had been hunted down back then had actually led his forces back to the Snow Moon Holy Land. His bearing was no longer what it used to be, and a single glance left the entire crowd completely dumbfounded!
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them.
