Immortal Emperor Lang Xiao paused and glanced sideways at the green-robed cultivator below. He said coldly, "Why? Do you, an Immortal King, want to keep me here?"
Emperor Bei Kun, Emperor Nan Peng, and the others frowned.
Since Immortal Emperor Lang Xiao was ready to leave, there was no need to complicate matters.
After all, Immortal Emperor Lang Xiao was a peak Imperial Emperor.
The group of people in Tianhuang Mainland did not even have a single Imperial Emperor expert, let alone a peak Imperial Emperor.
Su Zimo rose into the air slowly and looked in the direction of Immortal Emperor Lang Xiao. A cold glint flashed across his eyes as he said slowly, "I heard that there's a Spirit Root in Immortal Domain. It's a Ginseng Fruit Tree."
"So what?"
Immortal Emperor Lang Xiao sneered. "You servants came to my Immortal Domain to kill people and take my Ginseng Fruit Tree?"
Emperor Bei Kun and Emperor Nan Peng looked at each other and frowned.
They had heard of the Ginseng Fruit Tree.
It was said that the Ginseng Fruit Tree bloomed and bore fruit every 30,000 years. It would only mature after another 30,000 years.
Every Ginseng Fruit contained extremely pure Heaven Earth Essence Qi. After eating it, one's lifespan would increase!
However, the situation in Immortal Domain was different from that of Crimson Heaven.
In Crimson Heaven, Crimson Heaven Palace fought with the people of Tianhuang Mainland. After they lost, it was normal for their Tree of Seven Wonders to be taken away.
However, Immortal Emperor Lang Xiao Palace did not have any conflict with Su Zimo and the others. If they wanted to take away the Spirit Root of Immortal Domain just because they wanted to establish a realm, it would be too greedy and overbearing.
Under such circumstances, the old man with the iron crown would not help him.
The people of the Sword World were the most righteous. They were chivalrous and hated evil. This would be against chivalry.
Of course, the old man with the iron crown knew Su Zimo well. He knew that there must be a deeper meaning for him to ask such a question.
The old man with the iron crown's divine consciousness had already spread to Immortal Emperor Lang Xiao Palace and landed on the Ginseng Fruit Tree.
The Frost Dragon Emperor had seen Su Zimo's actions and realized that there might be something else, so she decided to wait and see.
"Immortal Emperor Lang Xiao, how dare you!"
At this moment, the old man with the iron crown suddenly shouted. His eyes were as sharp as swords and directly locked onto Immortal Emperor Lang Xiao. The sword energy in his body was buzzing with murderous intent. He was ready to attack at any time!
Seeing this scene, everyone's expression changed.
Even more people were puzzled. They didn't know what had happened to make the old man so angry.
"Tie Guan, are you crazy?!"
Immortal Emperor Lang Xiao's heart shook, and he didn't dare to be careless. He hurriedly drew out a horsetail whisk and became vigilant as he questioned loudly.
The old man's voice was cold as he asked word by word, "What is buried under your ginseng fruit tree?"
Hearing this, Immortal Emperor Lang Xiao's expression changed.
Monarch North Kun, Monarch South Roc, and the others also realized the crux of the matter. They spread out their consciousness and landed under the ginseng fruit tree in Gem Heaven Palace.
Hiss!
When the Imperial Emperors sensed the situation under the tree, they couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air as their scalps went numb.
Under this ginseng fruit tree, countless corpses were buried. They covered millions of miles, densely packed, and there were countless of them.
Each of the corpses was extremely thin and small. It was obvious that they were all infants less than one year old.
Some of the corpses still had rotten flesh and were relatively well-preserved. It was obvious that they had been buried not long ago.
What was even more terrifying was that these infants were struggling and waving their arms before they died. There was great fear on their faces!
These infants were all buried alive!
The Imperial Emperors had been cultivating for so long and were used to seeing life and death. They had experienced countless battles and bloodshed.
However, the Imperial Emperors had never seen such a cruel scene.
These infants hadn't enjoyed much of the care and love of their parents. They hadn't really come into contact with the world around them before they were mercilessly buried under the ginseng fruit tree and had their flesh and blood essence absorbed by it!
These infants probably didn't even know what had happened to them before they died.
Even with the Imperial Emperors' consciousness, they couldn't calculate how many infants had been buried under this ginseng fruit tree over the countless years.
In fact, if they hadn't deliberately investigated the ginseng fruit tree, they would never have discovered the secret buried under it.
Su Zimo had sensed it because he was Qinglian, a rank-12 Creation cultivator.
The moment he stepped into the Nephrite Immortal Domain, Qinglian's true body had an extremely repulsive feeling towards the direction of Nephrite Palace.
Although the Qinglian was strong, she was relatively gentle.
She would never have such a reaction unless she was provoked.
That was the reason why Su Zimo used his spirit consciousness to investigate the ginseng fruit tree and discovered the secret beneath it.
The old man with the iron crown said coldly, "Nephrite Immortal Domain, you buried billions of infants alive for the sake of that ginseng fruit tree. You're truly heartless and sinful!"
Everyone from Tianhuang Mainland was shocked when they heard that.
"Amitabha,"
Ming Zhen's expression was sorrowful when he heard that and he chanted a Buddhist proclamation.
Momo's eyes reddened and she felt extremely upset.
Up till this point of his cultivation, although he had been by Su Zimo's side and fought against others, he had never killed a single person. At most, he had only injured the other party.
This matter had a huge impact on him!
"The ginseng fruit tree isn't a secret."
Nephrite Immortal Emperor was calm when he saw that this matter had been exposed. He said, "The Immortal Emperors of the Nine Clouds Immortal Domain are well aware of this matter. They ate the ginseng fruits happily."
The ginseng fruit tree was planted in the Nine Clouds Immortal Domain, so it naturally couldn't escape the senses of the Immortal Emperors.
However, all the Immortal Emperors turned a blind eye to it. From the beginning to the end, none of the Immortal Emperors stepped forward.
"You're wrong!"
Lin Zhan suddenly said loudly, "Immortal Emperor Qing Xiao has never eaten your ginseng fruits. I saw with my own eyes that the ginseng fruits you gave him were smashed into pieces by him!"
This happened a long time ago. At that time, Lin Zhan had even asked about the reason. Immortal Emperor Qing Xiao's expression was extremely ugly at that time. He wanted to say something many times but hesitated. In the end, he didn't tell Lin Zhan.
He didn't expect such a terrible tragedy to be hidden behind this.
"So what?"
Immortal Emperor Qing Xiao smiled contemptuously and said, "I heard that he's already dead."
Lin Zhan clenched his fists tightly. His knuckles were a little pale as he stared at Immortal Emperor Qing Xiao.
Immortal Emperor Qing Xiao didn't care about Lin Zhan's anger at all. He looked at the old man with the iron crown and said leisurely, "Iron Crown, you don't have to be so agitated. These babies were less than a year old before they died. They don't know anything and won't feel any pain."
"So, these babies deserve to die?"
The old man with the iron crown's eyes became colder and colder. He asked slowly, "These babies can't feel pain, but their parents can't!"
After seeing the scene under the ginseng fruit tree, even Celestial Emperor Bei Kun and Celestial Emperor Nan Peng looked at the Nephrite Immortal Domain with a hint of killing intent in their eyes, let alone the old man with the iron crown.
This matter had crossed the bottom line of all living beings!
What was more frightening was that Immortal Emperor Qing Xiao said this so casually. He didn't feel guilty at all.
"Haha …"
Immortal Emperor Qing Xiao laughed and said, "No wonder you're so angry. You forgot to mention one thing. These babies were born by some servants. They're as lowly as dust. Even if they're still alive, their lives are like ants in this great world.
"I'll bury them in advance and send them to reincarnate. In the future, they'll be reincarnated into a better family. It's also a good deed."
A sword light flashed.
The old man with the iron crown attacked!
