"Let's go to the Four Symbols Sect and ask around. It's impossible that the Four Symbols Sect doesn't know anything after such a huge incident." Wang Lin sighed.
He couldn't bear to see the tragic situation in the city. Although every major force had a bloody background, they wouldn't be so crazy as to slaughter innocent people.
Zhang Tianling and the others nodded with an ugly expression.
The Four Symbols Sect was located in a mountain in Qingzhou. The mountain was so tall that it pierced through the clouds. There wasn't even a complete path. It was impossible for ordinary people to climb up the mountain.
Although the mountain was high and the path was dangerous, it wasn't difficult for Shenlang and the others.
Halfway up the mountain, everyone saw a tall middle-aged man in coarse hemp clothes with a scar on his face. He stood there quietly with his hands clasped behind his back.
Shenlang and the others stopped and looked at the man in confusion.
Wang Lin's expression changed slightly when he saw the man. He then cupped his fist and said, "Wang Lin of the Wang Family greets the Wasteland Dragon Venerable."
"What?" Everyone was shocked when they heard Wang Lin's words.
The Wasteland Dragon Venerable was one of the four Honorables of the Four Symbols Sect.
The four Honorables of the Four Symbols Sect were the Huang Long, the Yan Feng, the Yun Hu, and the Black Tortoise.
The four of them were the top experts of the Zhenwu Continent. They could be said to be the strongest people under the Immortal Martial Realm. Each of them was at the peak of the Paradise Realm. It was rumored that the Wasteland Dragon Venerable was already a half-step Immortal Martial Realm expert.
That was why Wang Lin greeted him as a junior. Although he was the head of the Wang Family, he didn't dare to be arrogant in front of the Wasteland Dragon Venerable.
Zhang Tianling and the others took a deep breath and bowed.
Yanluo Wang and the Cakravarti Wang didn't move. They just looked at the Wasteland Dragon Venerable quietly.
The Wasteland Dragon Venerable was calm in the face of everyone's greetings.
Just as everyone was about to ask …
The Wasteland Dragon Venerable spoke. "I know why you're here."
"You can leave now."
Wang Lin and the others couldn't help but look at each other. They were a little confused by the Wasteland Dragon Venerable's words.
Zhang Tianling asked doubtfully, "Senior, what do you mean?"
The Wasteland Dragon Venerable glanced at Zhang Tianling indifferently and slowly said, "I've discussed the Blood Demon Sect's matter with the other Venerables. This time, we won't participate. With so many forces joining hands, can't you suppress a mere Blood Demon Sect and Kōshū?"
"This …" Zhang Tianling and the others blushed at the Wasteland Dragon Venerable's words.
Indeed, with so many forces joining hands, if they couldn't even take down the Blood Demon Sect and Kōshū, they would be ridiculed by the world.
The Wasteland Dragon Venerable waved his hand and his figure gradually disappeared. When everyone looked over, the Wasteland Dragon Venerable had already disappeared.
Everyone laughed bitterly and went back the way they came.
What was going on with the Four Symbols Sect? Even if they were detached from worldly affairs, they shouldn't be like this. The Blood Demon Sect was about to turn the Southern Region into a river of blood. Could they bear to watch?
...
The Four Symbols Sect was located at the top of a barren mountain. It was filled with stone huts. Even the tallest main hall was built with the stones of the barren mountain. It didn't have the luxury of other forces. Instead, it gave off a simple feeling.
In one of the stone huts, a white-haired, sage-like elder and a middle-aged man in plain cotton clothes were sitting around a chessboard, quietly playing chess.
"Brother Ye, you're about to lose." The elder gently placed a white chess piece on the chessboard and said with a smile.
"Haha, Brother Tianji's chess skills have improved again." The middle-aged man threw the black chess piece in his hand into the chess basket and laughed.
"It's not that I've improved. It's just that Brother Ye's heart isn't calm." The elder said with deep meaning.
The middle-aged man shook his head and sighed. "How can my heart be calm? The Blood Demon Sect and Kōshū are wreaking havoc in the Southern Region, but my Four Symbols Sect can't do anything. I feel uneasy watching innocent people die tragically."
The elder nodded. "Brother Ye, this matter isn't simple. If your Four Symbols Sect recklessly interferes, I'm afraid a disaster will descend. For the sake of your Four Symbols Sect, please bear with it."
The elder's name was Tian Jizi, the Pavilion Master of the Tenji Pavilion. The middle-aged man was the Immortal Martial Realm expert of the Four Symbols Sect, Ye Lingxiao.
Tian Jizi and Ye Lingxiao had been good friends for many years. The two of them had known each other when they were young. Back then, Ye Lingxiao didn't know Tian Jizi's identity at all. Only when Tian Jizi told him did he know that the Four Symbols Sect had done nothing when the twenty-one forces investigated the Tenji Pavilion.
Tian Jizi's origins were a mystery. Even Ye Lingxiao didn't know. He only knew that Tian Jizi was the current Pavilion Master of the Tenji Pavilion. However, although Tian Jizi was mysterious, he didn't have any ill intentions towards Ye Lingxiao. Instead, he would provide the Four Symbols Sect with information on the continent.
This time, it was Tian Jizi who told him not to interfere with the Blood Demon Sect's matter, and to let the other forces encircle and annihilate the Blood Demon Sect.
The Wasteland Dragon Venerable's discussion with the other Venerables was only an excuse.
"What exactly is going to happen? What did you divine? "Ye Lingxiao asked with a frown.
Tian Jizi replied with a serious expression when he heard Ye Lingxiao's words, "Brother Ye, I didn't divine anything actually. The elders who did the divination were all seriously injured. Do you think this matter is simple?"
"What?" Ye Lingxiao said in shock.
He didn't know the strength of the Tenji Pavilion, but its divination skills were definitely the best in the entire Zhenwu Continent.
Even so, the Tenji Pavilion didn't divine anything. This meant that this matter was definitely not simple.
It seemed that the Blood Demon Sect and Kōshū were plotting something big this time.
...
The Four Symbols Sect's abnormal actions made Shen Lang and the others feel that something was wrong, but they couldn't put their finger on it.
"Daoist Yuan, do you see anything?" Shen Lang asked.
Won Jin-yang said with a serious expression, "The Four Symbols Sect should know something, but I don't know why they didn't tell us."
Just when everyone was at a loss of what to do.
A figure suddenly flew over from the horizon at an extremely fast speed.
When he saw the figure clearly, Zhao Xingwu said, "It seems to be King Kaoshan."
"Yes, it is indeed King Kaoshan. Isn't he recuperating? Why is he here? "
Everyone asked in confusion.
Ji Wudao landed and said with a serious expression, "Something has happened. The Blood Demon Sect and Kōshū have joined forces and are attacking the provincial capital of Qingzhou. Let's hurry over and support them."
Everyone was shocked when they heard Ji Wudao's words. Were the Blood Demon Sect and Kōshū courting death? They actually dared to openly slaughter them?
"Alright, let's go. Your Highness, lead the way. We'll go over now."
Zhang Tianling said anxiously.
"We'll go over first. You guys can catch up later." Zhang Tianling turned around and instructed Shen Lang and the others.
Everyone nodded in unison. Then, a few streaks of light streaked across the sky. King Yanluo and the others disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Let's go too." A Void Refinement Realm expert shouted loudly. Over a hundred Void Realm experts rushed towards the direction of the Qingzhou Provincial City.
Just as Shen Lang and the others were halfway through their journey, a burst of loud laughter suddenly rang out. "Haha, Sovereign's plan is indeed brilliant. Just by luring the tiger away from the mountain, he managed to lure those Insightful Emptiness Realm Experts away. This time, we will have enough to absorb."
