Changyang Zu Xiao raised his eyes and emotionlessly said, "Our Zu branch has already broken away from the protector Changyang clan. We no longer have anything to do with the protector Changyang clan. Yunxia and I are obviously not here to represent the protector Changyang clan. There's no need for the grand elder to ask us about borrowing the Emperor Armament."
Everyone in the hall was shocked by Changyang Zu Xiao's words. Many of them were filled with disbelief.
Many of the experts from the Holy Emperor gathered here had a certain understanding of the protector clans of Changyang Prefecture. Changyang Prefecture was split into the Zu, Yuan, and Qing branches. Throughout countless years, the three branches had always been united. Even if there were disagreements from time to time, they would never pose too great of a threat to the stability of the protector clans.
Yet today, the representative of the Zu branch had actually said that the Zu branch had already broken away from Changyang Prefecture and no longer had anything to do with Changyang Prefecture. Many people found this unbelievable.
"Changyang Zu Xiao, are you telling the truth? Have the people of your Zu branch really broken away from the protector clan? "The grand elder of Mercenary City sternly asked. This was a major matter.
"Changyang Zu Xiao, are you joking? Your Zu, Yuan, and Qing branches have been on good terms for over a million years.
Since ancient times until now, the three branches have always been of the same breath and branch. Why did they suddenly split up? " A ruddy old man beside Changyang Zu Xiao asked. He was a great elder of the Moyuan clan and had a good relationship with Changyang Zu Xiao.
At this moment, everyone looked at Changyang Zu Xiao and Changyang Zu Yunxiao, especially the Holy Emperor experts from the Yiyuan sect and Yangji Zong. They all secretly cheered inside. Changyang Prefecture had split and suffered a great loss of strength. This was something they were extremely willing to see.
Changyang Zu Xiao remained emotionless. This matter had greatly affected him as well. He heavily said, "How can I joke about something so major? Old Man is obviously telling the truth. Our Zu branch no longer has anything to do with the protector clan of Changyang Prefecture."
The hall immediately fell silent. However, the people present had already accepted the fact that the Zu branch had broken away from Changyang Prefecture. Although this was a shocking piece of news to the Tian Yuan Continent, it did not affect them in any way. However, many people had already realized that Changyang Prefecture's strength had been greatly reduced. They would definitely fall from their position as the greatest protector clan and might even fall to the bottom of the ten protector clans. This made the people from the other protector clans secretly happy.
"Since the Zu branch has already broken away from Changyang Prefecture, may I ask why the people from the Qing and Yuan branches that represent Changyang Prefecture aren't here?" A Holy Emperor expert from a protector clan asked out of curiosity.
The grand elder of Mercenary City looked around and discovered that there really were no people from the protector clan of Changyang Prefecture. As a result, he said to a Holy Emperor beside him, "Sixth elder, please go to Changyang Prefecture and invite them to Mercenary City so that we can discuss how to deal with the World of Forsaken Saints."
The sixth elder immediately stood up and clasped his fist at the people around him. He loudly said, "Everyone, please excuse this Old Man for a moment." Afterward, the sixth elder directly left the miniature world of Mercenary City.
Although the protector clan of Changyang Prefecture was still extremely far away from Mercenary City, it was only a few seconds before a Holy Emperor expert. The sixth elder returned to Changyang Prefecture in less than ten minutes. He sternly said, "Grand elder, I've paid a visit to Changyang Prefecture and discovered that it's been sealed. Not only can we not enter, but the people inside can't leave either. All methods of communication are useless."
"What!" The grand elder's face changed, and he immediately stood up. Even the Holy Emperor experts gathered there were shocked. A mighty protector clan had actually been sealed and trapped in a miniature world. This was just too shocking to everyone present.
"Sixth Elder, is what you said true? Changyang Prefecture has actually been sealed in a miniature world. That's a protector clan with great heritage. Just who else on the Tian Yuan Continent possesses such great abilities? Even the path lord of carnal desires can't do something like this, "an independent Holy Emperor questioned.
The grand elder did not ask any more questions. He stared deeply at Changyang Zu Xiao and Changyang Zu Yunxiao and said, "Changyang Zu Xiao, our Tian Yuan Continent is currently facing a crisis of life and death. Although we don't know what has happened to your Changyang Prefecture, we are in need of people right now. We want to break through the seal of Changyang Prefecture. Do the two of you have any objections?"
At that moment, the gazes of all the Holy Emperor experts toward Changyang Zu Xiao and Changyang Zu Yunxiao changed slightly. There was admiration and disdain. Many of them had already guessed that the Zu branch had something to do with the Zu branch when they broke away from Changyang Prefecture.
Changyang Zu Xiao gently sighed. He knew that many people had probably misunderstood the people of the Zu branch, so he could not help but explain, "It's all because of the Saints' Fruit. When Jianchen obtained the Saints' Fruit, Changyang Qing Yun wanted to take it from him, which led to an unprecedented civil war in Changyang Prefecture. In his fury, Jianchen worked together with the three magical beasts to seal up Changyang Prefecture. This matter has always been the greatest pain in my heart. If you want to break through the seal now and let the people of the Qing and Yuan branches regain their freedom, we of the Zu branch obviously won't have any objections. "
Everyone immediately came to a realization with Changyang Zu Xiao's explanation. However, they were stunned once again by the heaven-defying methods of Jianchen and the three magical beasts. They could even seal up a protector clan. Even the Holy Emperor would struggle to accomplish something so heaven-defying.
This was because every single protector clan possessed methods to fend off the Holy Emperor.
"I guessed that this would be the outcome. Changyang Qing Yun is far too greedy. They didn't do much when they fought for the Saints' Fruit, so why should Jianchen hand it over? In my opinion, the people of the Yuan and Qing branches have only themselves to blame. They can't blame anyone else," the Holy Emperor from the Moyuan clan who had close ties with Changyang Zu Xiao said with righteous indignation.
At this moment, four bloodied and horrible experts from the Holy Emperor stumbled into the hall. Every single one of them had aged beyond recognition. Their presence of life was extremely weak.
"It's Jiantian!" A great elder from the Yangji Zong recognized one of them and immediately paled in fright. He arrived before the four of them in a flash and stared at Jiantian in disbelief. He cried out, "Jiantian, how did you become like this?"
"It's Fairy Haoyue. The Fairy Haoyue used a formation to strip us of our presence of life …" Jiantian weakly replied. As soon as he said that, he seemed to lose all his strength and directly collapsed on the ground. His body withered at a visible rate, becoming a dry corpse very soon.
Afterwards, the other three Holy Emperor experts who had escaped from the Time Formation also collapsed on the ground, following in Jiantian's footsteps.
The faces of Yangji Zong and the great elders from the Yiyuan Sect all turned extremely ugly. They had already recognized the other three. They were the Holy Emperor experts from their two sects who had gone to Raging Flame City to borrow the Bright Moon Divine Temple. They hadn't expected that not only would they fail to borrow the Bright Moon Divine Temple, but they would also lose their lives.
Losing two Holy Emperor experts all at once was an extremely heavy loss for the Yangji Zong and the Yiyuan Sect.
"This Fairy Haoyue has gone too far. It's fine that she didn't want to borrow the Bright Moon Divine Temple, but why did she have to kill the great elders of our Yiyuan Sect and the Yangji Zong? We can't let this matter rest," a Holy Emperor expert from the Yiyuan Sect said with a pained expression.
"Our Yangji Zong will definitely seek justice for this matter." The great elders of Yangji Zong were all filled with killing intent. Losing two Holy Emperor experts all at once had reduced the overall strength of the Yangji Zong by thirty percent.
The grand elder of Mercenary City stepped forward and said with a heavy voice, "Please restrain your grief. The matter at hand is to find a way to deal with the threat of the World of Forsaken Saints. We'll go talk to Fairy Haoyue once we've dealt with the threat of the World of Forsaken Saints."
"That's right. There are priorities. The World of Forsaken Saints is our greatest threat. Let's put aside the grievances between the Yangji Zong and the Yiyuan Sect and Fairy Haoyue for now. Moreover, Fairy Haoyue can deal with nine Holy Emperor experts so easily, and she even has such a heaven-defying formation to protect her. She must be very difficult to deal with. We can't cause any more problems right now, "said the pavilion head. The pavilion master of the Pure Heart Pavilion spoke up. Aside from the great elder of Mercenary City, the pavilion master of the Pure Heart Pavilion was the most authoritative person there.
Yangji Zong and the great elders of the Yiyuan Sect fell silent. In the end, they chose to follow the grand elder and the pavilion head's decision.
They had witnessed Fairy Haoyue's strength from the fate of the Holy Emperor experts. Even though she was only left with her soul, she was not as weak as they had imagined her to be. If they wanted revenge, they needed to borrow the strength of a group.
Afterward, the grand elder of Mercenary City and over twenty Holy Emperor experts from various organisations set off for Changyang Prefecture. At the same time, they sent envoys to the Hundred Races, magical beasts, and Sea race with great gifts to inform them of the World of Forsaken Saints.
Changyang Qing Yun, Changyang Qing Jueri, Changyang Qing Yunfeng, Changyang Yuan Wuji, and Changyang Yuan Zhenghua hovered in the air with sunken faces in the miniature world of the protector clan of Changyang Prefecture. They stared in the direction of the World Gate.
During the months they had been sealed, they would use their full strength to break the seal every once in a while. They had even used their Emperor Armaments a few times, but they still failed to break through the seal. The power of the seal had completely exceeded their expectations.
"Even the Holy Emperor would struggle to break through this seal. Are we just going to be trapped here until we die?" Changyang Qing Jueri asked with a sunken face.
"No. Maintaining the seal requires an extremely great amount of energy. As long as the seal exists, a portion of the energy will be depleted. Once the energy is completely depleted, we can break through the seal. However, we still need to constantly attack the seal during this period of time to increase the depletion of its energy so that we can break free sooner," Changyang Qing Yun said with a sunken face. Changyang Qing Yun said coldly. As a mighty protector clan, they had actually been trapped in a miniature world. This was a humiliation that they would never be able to wash away.
"Once we break free, I'll deal with Jianchen no matter the cost," Changyang Qing Yunfeng also said with a sunken face. Heavy killing intent filled his eyes.
