The Sage's Heart
"However, this batch of goods is actually Withered Frost Grass. I don't know what the Taihao Sacred Land is up to, but they seem to have been collecting it.
A black-robed man smashed open a wooden box that had fallen to the side. When he saw the Withered Frost Grass inside, a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.
This was not the first time they had attacked the Taihao Sacred Land's merchants.
However, they did not find anything.
Withered Frost Grass?
What's the use of it?
"What's the use of this thing …"
Another black-robed man picked up a stalk and looked at it, but he did not find anything special. He then threw the Withered Frost Grass on the ground.
He thought that the Taihao Sacred Ground had hidden the items in the boxes filled with Withered Frost Grass. However, after searching, he found nothing.
"Humph, who cares what use it has. After a while, it will be the annual fight for the rights to the teleportation formation in the City of the Saints. If the Taihao Sacred Land loses to the Formless Sect and Horizon Pavilion, let's see how they will convince the public! "
As they spoke, they looked at each other with mocking expressions.
The Formless Sect and Horizon Pavilion were both super forces in the Holy Land area, second only to the twelve Holy Lands. Speaking of which, their strength was not very different from the Sacred Land.
However, the Sacred Land had the Sage's Heart left behind by the past Sages.
The Sage's Heart was a sacred item formed by the essence, spirit, and spirit of a Sage.
When no one in the Sacred Land could become a Sage, refining the Sage's Heart could forcibly raise one to the Sage level.
However, in the future, it would be difficult to advance any further.
Those who refined the Sage's Heart and forcibly became a Sage would not be able to condense the Sage's Heart even if they died.
In other words, the Sage's Heart was the Sacred Land's greatest protection, but it was irreversible. Every time one was used, there would be one less.
Of course, a Sage was a Sage!
Even if a Sage used the Sage's Heart to become a Sage, it was far from what others could compare to.
This was the foundation of the Taihao Sacred Land.
Although the super forces were not inferior to the Taihao Sacred Land in other aspects, the Sacred Land's highest martial strength was like a high wall in front of them. It was difficult for them to overcome it.
"I don't know if you've heard, but someone in the World's Edge Pavilion seemed to have obtained a great opportunity and the Sage's Legacy. It's said that the person even obtained a Sage's Heart in the Land of Legacy …"
As soon as one of the black-robed men mentioned it, several people started to discuss it.
"I've heard that he's only at the Emperor Realm. However, it's said that many Exalted Realm experts have died at his hands."
"A Saint's might is invincible. Even if he was in our Holy Land, he would still be a Saint …"
"If the rumor of the Sage's Heart is true, then the position of the Taihao Sacred Ground is really in danger, hehe …"
As they talked, there was a hint of schadenfreude in their tone.
"If the World Edge Pavilion wasn't willing to take out a Holy Treasure, how could we use it to do such a thing here? However, we should have eliminated Taihao from the list of Holy Lands long ago. With Taihao here, it's simply lowering the level of our Holy Lands!"
The leader of the black-robed men snorted softly, and then his feet moved, disappearing from the spot.
…
City of Saints.
Near the center of this huge city, there was a huge and majestic mansion.
Countless passersby looked at it with respect because it was the consulate of the Taihao Sacred Ground in the City of Saints.
However, at this moment, the hall of the mansion was crowded with people, and the atmosphere was unusually oppressive.
"This is the seventh time!"
"Which faction dares to attack the merchants of the Taihao Sacred Ground?"
"We must ask the Enforcers to eliminate this group of clowns!"
"…"
Indignant voices resounded in the hall from time to time.
It was no wonder that they were so agitated. As merchants of the Taihao Sacred Ground, they had been robbed seven times in less than a month. Moreover, none of the merchants who were attacked survived!
Not long ago, they received another call for help. Another group of merchants was attacked!
It was a great humiliation for a Sacred Ground to have such a thing happen right under their noses!
This provocation of the Holy Land's dignity, even if they deliberately suppressed it, was still detected by many discerning people. At this moment, there were already many rumors spreading throughout the Holy Land.
Most of the rumors were unfavorable to the Taihao Sacred Ground. Some people even guessed that the Sacred Ground, which had been passed down for countless years, was about to be replaced by another faction!
At the center of the hall sat two people. One of them was Dong Yu, and the other was a middle-aged man who exuded a terrifying aura. He was the deacon of the Taihao Sacred Ground in the City of Saints … Mu Rundong.
At this moment, Dong Yu and Lin Rundong's faces were somewhat gloomy. Their frowns seemed to have deepened as they listened to the clamor.
Lin Rundong did not dare to hide what had happened during this period and reported everything to the Sacred Ground. However, the news from the Sacred Ground warned them to be careful, and there was no sign of a large-scale purge.
As the deacon of the City of Saints, he knew that this matter was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
Even the Sacred Ground seemed to be tacitly admitting that they were at a disadvantage. He could faintly sense that this matter was inextricably linked to the other two Sacred Grounds.
Without their support, even the factions that were second only to the Sacred Ground would not dare to do such a thing!
"All merchants are not allowed to leave the city for a short period of time!"
Finally, Mu Rundong and Dong Yu looked at each other and sighed inwardly.
Upon hearing these words, the originally noisy crowd in the hall immediately fell silent. Every face was filled with disbelief as they looked at Mu Rundong. It was as if they did not dare to believe that these words had come from the mouth of the representative of the Taihao Sacred Ground.
Originally, in the City of Saints, the news of the Taihao Sacred Ground's merchants being killed had already spread like wildfire. If the Sacred Ground did not respond on a large scale, it would have attracted many strange gazes.
Now, Mu Rundong had even said such words that represented compromise. If this matter spread, it would definitely affect the Sacred Ground's prestige!
Moreover, there were many merchants under the Taihao Sacred Ground. If they did not leave the city for a month, it would definitely be a great loss!
