Black Knife was about to die.
Desolate Mountain City, Huang Ling Family Mansion.
In the Great Clan Elder's courtyard.
"Trash, a bunch of trash."
Great Clan Elder Zhang Qitian's face was filled with anger. Looking at the few people in the hall, he even had the intention to kill them.
A perfect plan, but in the end …
It still failed!
This made him incomparably furious.
The Zhang family of the Huang Ling Family had been subdued in this Desolate Mountain City for hundreds of thousands of years. He did not want to spend his life in this small city at the edge of the desert. He wanted to change.
He wanted to leave this place.
He had waited for a full ten years for this opportunity.
Ancient Golden Corpse.
This was the result of the efforts of three generations of the Zhang Clan. After digging and taking risks, they finally managed to unearth the Ancient Golden Corpse in their generation.
As long as he could fuse with the Ancient Golden Corpse or control it, he would become the number one person in the Huang Ling Family. He would be able to walk out of this place and fight for hegemony in a wider world.
Even.
He could wash away his shame and take revenge on the Long family!
He couldn't understand why the ancestral teachings told them to hide forever and never make enemies with the Long family. They were originally a super family with unparalleled power, but because they stole the Dragon's Tomb, they were suppressed by the Long family.
Why?
Was the Dragon's Tomb the ancestor of the Long family?
What qualifications did the Long family have to suppress them?
Since it was a suppression, then why did the ancestors set up the ancestral teachings at that time to forbid them from taking revenge?
Zhang Qitian couldn't understand this matter.
He was an ambitious person, and an ambitious person with extremely valiant combat strength.
He had waited for ten years, so he would definitely not let go of this opportunity!
A man said, "Big brother, a powerful demonic will erupted from the Sunset Valley. Could it be that the Western Demon Ancestor has interfered?"
"Impossible!"
Zhang Qitian immediately denied it: "Other than our Huang Ling Family, no one else knows about the Ancient Golden Corpse. There is no one in our family who would want the Western Demon Ancestor to leak the information."
"Besides, the Western Region is tens of millions of kilometers away from here. It's impossible for them to arrive in such a short period of time."
The man said, "That's the demonic flames that burst out from the Sunset Valley. It's even stronger than those million year old trolls that broke through the seal. Big brother, the Western Demon Ancestor is still recovering his strength. Maybe he has his eyes on this Ancient Golden Corpse?"
"We have to be on guard."
Zhang Qitian frowned. Just as he said, "What if it's someone from the Western Demon Ancestor?"
He pondered for a moment.
Zhang Qitian said faintly, "I don't care who he is. This Ancient Golden Corpse is mine. If anyone dares to snatch it from me, I will not let them off."
"Where are they now?"
Another man said, "The closest place to Sunset Valley is Desolate Mountain City. If they don't want to die in the desert, they can only come here."
"This is their only choice."
There was no water source.
No matter how powerful a person was, they would not be able to last long in the desert.
If they went back the way they came, it would take even longer and be filled with danger.
Long Fei and the others had no other choice but to enter Desolate Mountain City.
Zhang Qitian's brows loosened a little as he said, "Go and investigate immediately. I want to know everything about them."
"Also."
"Is the Black Knife's daughter still alive? Bring her to the Zhang Residence. "
"Yes, what's the situation with the Young Miss?"
One of the men said, "The young lady must be even more anxious than us. If she can't transport the ancient golden corpse safely into the Zhang Mansion, she won't be able to bear the consequences of her mistake. Big Brother, it's also a good opportunity for you to take the throne."
Zhang Qitian's lips curled, "Not only do I want to be the Clan Leader, I also want the Ancient Golden Corpse. I want to lead the Barren Spirit Clan to rise again and stand at the peak of this world."
"I want everyone to see that we, the Barren Spirit Clan, are the ones who rule everything."
"Hahaha …"
Zhang Qitian laughed maniacally.
…
In another part of the Zhang Residence.
In the Clan Leader's yard.
A man in his early twenties, with a determined face, brows furrowed, and a trace of sorrow and pain in his eyes.
"Uncle Chen and the others are all dead."
"The escort team disappeared in the desert."
"Young Miss, there are still five days before the Clan Meeting. If the Ancient Golden Corpse cannot be transported into the Zhang Residence in five days, the Grand Elder will definitely make things difficult for you." A maid said slowly.
Zhang Xinyue.
The current Clan Leader of the Barren Spirit Clan.
After taking over her father's position for a month, the clan's test for her was to transport the Ancient Golden Corpse.
She sent her father's most favored Uncle Chen, who was also the only person she could trust.
However …
Not long ago, she heard the bad news that Uncle Chen and the sixteen Barren Spirit Guards had all died in the Sunset Valley.
The Ancient Golden Corpse disappeared.
The escort team disappeared.
And she, still had five days.
If she could not bring the Ancient Golden Corpse to the Barren Spirit Clan within five days, then her position as the Clan Leader would be removed. That was nothing.
She did not want to be the Clan Leader.
However …
If the Clan Leader position was given to Zhang Qitian, then he would definitely lead his clansmen to go against the ancestral teachings and walk out of the Barren Mountain City.
The path of destruction!
For the clan, for her father's will, she could not let the clan walk towards destruction.
Zhang Xinyue looked at the maid and said, "Uncle Chen is dead, and I have no one by my side that I can use. I can't go out, so I can only rely on you."
Lan Hua was startled, and said, "Miss, tell me, what can I do for you?"
Zhang Xinyue said, "The water source in the Sunset Valley has been cut off, so they must be heading towards the Barren Mountain City. We know, Zhang Qitian also knows."
"Zhang Qitian is definitely making arrangements, he will definitely not let the Ancient Golden Corpse enter the Barren Mountain City."
"His goal is to fuse with the Ancient Golden Corpse. So, I want you to find them before they do, so that we can have the initiative. "
Lan Hua did not understand, and said, "Miss, how do we find them first? Who are they? I don't even know them. "
There were many paths to the Barren Mountain City, and they did not know who had the Ancient Golden Corpse.
Zhang Qitian did not know either.
On this point, they were on the same starting line.
This was also Zhang Xinyue's only advantage.
Zhang Xinyue took out a small bottle from her bosom and said, "There are ten Sweet Dew Pills here, you can use it anywhere on the Sunset Valley road to the Barren Mountain City. If I were them, I would definitely find a water source first."
She had to gamble.
Lan Hua took the bottle and said, "Miss, are you sure they will find a water source?"
Zhang Xinyue shook her head, and said, "I don't know, but we can only think that way. Only by finding the Ancient Golden Corpse will we have a chance of survival."
Lan Hua said, "Miss, I will definitely find them."
Then there was Long Fei.
Yellow sand filled the sky, and their lips were dry and pale.
Their faces were scorched by the hot weather.
Long Fei pulled the carriage by himself, while Dao Ba and Hei Shan pushed it together.
"Master, we can't hold on any longer."
"There are still two more days of journey to the Barren Mountain City, we don't have any water, we can't hold on any longer."
