"A day of celebration? Hahahahaha! "
'Heaven Sweeping King' Zhao Changlie burst into laughter. "You guys are as greedy as dogs and as idiotic as pigs. You don't even know that you are about to be killed! Don't be fooled by the fact that all of you are acting all high and mighty here today. When my elder brother Qi Changsheng and the other nine experts return from the Immortal Realm, they will slaughter all of you and turn you into a bloody pulp. None of you will be able to escape! "
Elder Scorching Sun had long foreseen his' stubbornness'. He was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled and casually said, "You are truly a man who refuses to cry until you see the coffin. You are still daydreaming to this moment. Do you really think that the return of the deities' realm is real?
"Let me tell you the truth so that all the fellow Cultivators here can hear me clearly. Scorching Sun is not one of those ignorant guys who can be fooled easily. I have been training in the primeval relics for more than a hundred years, and I know some ancient secrets.
"The deities' realm? What deities' realm? What surrounds the Ancient Sages Sector is a boundless black ocean. Up, down, left, right, east, west, north, and south, it is more than a hundred thousand times larger! Even the unparalleled experts in the Yuanying Stage, the Divinity Transformation Stage, or even higher levels will not be able to reach the outside world even if they try their best!
"Since ancient times, all the experts who flew out of the Ancient Sages Sector to search for the deities' realm were all killed miserably in the black ocean outside. Those who were lucky enough to escape back suffered a lot of hardships, and their Cultivation hit rock bottom. Nine out of ten of them were killed!
"Hehehehe. According to my deduction, the so-called 'search for the deities' realm 'and the' Divine Wrath Order 'are just a scheme that you guys came up with. The top ten experts in the past died together with each other in the depths of the Land of Eternal Night. Even their forces were greatly damaged and could not resist the challenges of the heroes of the world. That was why you came up with such a stalling plan.
"Even if they are not dead and do get an enormous flying boat to 'visit the deities' realm ', they will either die miserably on the way or return in frustration after being tortured.
"Right now, I have the benefits of the primeval relics and the legacies of the 'Saint Fire Dynasty'. I have as many experts and soldiers as there are clouds in the sky. I also have the support of countless fellow cultivators from the three thousand sects in the world. Even if they do come back, how are they going to compete with me? They will still have to kneel in front of me and submit to me obediently!
"Zhao Changlie, a wise man submits to circumstances. You'd better stop daydreaming and surrender to me obediently. Hand over all the treasures and arsenals that the Heaven Battering Army has looted over the years!"
"Bah!"
Zhao Changlie cursed aloud. "Old Devil Scorching Sun, feel free to jump up and down and show off here, but you won't last long. My brother and the nine experts will return from the deities' realm at any moment. By then, you will die ten times, no, a hundred times more miserably than I did today!"
"Good, good, good!"
Narrowing his eyes, the fiery fiend gnashed his teeth solemnly. "The Rising Sun Array has just been established, and it is indeed in need of a Yuanying to sacrifice the blood of the array. Since you have resisted stubbornly all the way to the end, why can't I fulfill your wish? Let's see how the Three Saints, Four Rapscallions, and Master Spiritual Vulture can make me die a hundred times more miserably than you after I tear you apart, burn your bones, and seal your soul in the fire so that you will suffer the agony of the fire and the magma forever! "
Huala!
The five flying boats flew in different directions. The five chains were straightened all of a sudden. Cracking noises were immediately echoing inside Zhao Changlie's flesh and bones. He was roaring in excruciating pain.
Elder Scorching Sun intended to establish his dominance with Zhao Changlie and was not in a hurry to kill the guy. He ordered the flying boats to slow down as much as possible so that the stubborn guy could be tortured for a while longer.
Right then —
In the middle of the bustling crowd in the valley, dozens of noises that sounded like spring thunder burst out at the same time.
"Die, old thief!"
"Heaven's punishment, old thief!"
"Old thief Scorching Sun, your time of death has come!"
"The Grand Mystery Sect, the Purple Pole Sword Sect, the Thunderstorm Valley … The six major sects swear to kill the old thief!"
Shua! Shua! Shua!
Shua! Hundreds of streaks of brilliance burst out at the same time and attacked the altar of the Red Sun Sect at the end of the valley.
"Assassins!"
"The experts of the six major sects are bold enough to assassinate Elder Scorching Sun!"
The entire valley was thrown into chaos for a moment. Countless Cultivators drew their weapons and activated their magical equipment, triggering their spiritual shields. However, the place was already packed to the brim. Everybody's weapons and magical equipment collided with each other in clinking noises. Their spiritual shields were interfering with each other, too, releasing tremendous brilliance and ripples. It was a complete mess.
The fiery fiend in the sky was merely the image that Elder Scorching Sun triggered with the 'Rising Sun Array'. It was not his real body.
The assassins from the six major sects naturally would not attack the image. Instead, they had long set their eyes on Elder Scorching Sun, who was performing his best on the altar.
'Green Willow' Fang Chengzhi was fascinated by Elder Scorching Sun's unparalleled power. He was about to appreciate the splendid scene where 'Heaven Sweeping King' Zhao Changlie, a legendary expert, was dismembered by five horses when he was caught in a public assassination that was even more splendid.
He immediately broke out in a hot sweat. Standing on his tiptoes, he craned his neck and tried his best to look at the front of the crowd.
It was a pity that the Green Cloud Sword Sect was too close to the back. As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but dense heads. The halos and flames of spiritual energy that were triggered by the spiritual shields were also spreading out in layers of colorful mist above the heads. It was impossible to see clearly what was happening in the front at all.
He intended to fly to the midair and take a look, but before he jumped up, he was grabbed by his father and pressed to the ground.
Before Fang Chengzhi realized what was going on, hundreds of streaks of fiery light soared up and blew down the Cultivators who had just risen and were about to fly into the sky. They crashed into the crowd heavily, dizzy and grimacing in pain. They couldn't have been more embarrassed.
Amidst the soaring flames, the Scarlet Sun Sect cultivator who was standing on a red cloud and wielding a flaming saber appeared. He was dressed in crimson armor and had an awe-inspiring air about him. His cold gaze and indifferent expression, coupled with his incomparably ruthless methods, made everyone not dare to act rashly.
Fang Chengzhi felt that he was lucky.
He was not worried about minor wounds, but if he had been beaten down in public like the few unlucky fellows, where would he be able to show his face as the leader of the Four Princes of the Running River State?
He was quite amazed. On one hand, he was awed by the formidability of the Red Sun Sect that even the common disciples boasted such immense strength. On the other hand, he could not wait to see if the assassins were engaged in a fierce battle with Elder Scorching Sun.
He stood on his toes again and again and craned his neck again and again, but he still saw nothing. He could only feel that an enormous wave of fire was passing over his head, turning them all into small fish living in the ocean of fire.
Thankfully, the riot caused by the assassins passed as quickly as it came. Before Fang Chengzhi was tired of craning his neck, the chaotic scene gradually calmed down. Above the altar in the front of the hundred thousand Cultivators, almost a hundred translucent fireballs gradually rose up. Inside every fireball was an assassin.
All the assassins were burned by fire and pierced by electric arcs. They were suffering the most excruciating torture.
Dumbfounded, Fang Chengzhi was lost for words for a long time. He did not expect Elder Scorching Sun's Cultivation to be so high that he had captured hundreds of assassins alive without alarming anyone and imprisoned them in the weird barriers, humiliating them in public.
It was dozens of times more difficult than killing hundreds of assassins directly.
The crowd was in an uproar, too. Very soon, somebody recognized the assassins.
"The Grand Mystery Sect, the Purple Pole Sword Sect, the Thunderstorm Valley, the Gold Armor Clan, the Monster Taming Pavilion, the Flying Spirit Island … They are indeed disciples of the six major sects!"
"Also, they are all the most distinguished experts of the younger generation. It seems that they have been holding themselves back for years because of the restriction of the Divine Wrath Order!"
"It's a pity that they have run into Elder Scorching Sun this time. What a hilarious overestimation of themselves!"
"Did any of the fellow Cultivators see clearly how Elder Scorching Sun attacked? It was so fast just now that I — I didn't see anything at all, and all the juniors were captured alive!"
"Although they are all juniors, there are still quite a few Gold Core experts who couldn't even last three rounds against the Ancestor. The Ancestor's cultivation is truly unfathomable, unfathomable!"
Fang Chengzhi sighed to himself. At this moment, he finally got a clear look at the assassin. He had seen many young experts of the six major sects, and the assassin was someone that the disciples of the collateral branches looked up to. He didn't expect that the assassin would be so disgraced today.
He secretly felt happy for his father's wisdom and decisiveness.
It was true. Elder Scorching Sun was unparalleled. The Purple Pole Sword Sect was nothing to him. Even if 'Sword Maniac' Yan Liren were here in person, he would probably be locked in the barriers of fire by Elder Scorching Sun and suffer a fate worse than death.
Right then, Fang Chengzhi suddenly heard a beeping sound not far away from his head.
It was a very weird sound. Fang Chengzhi had never heard any weapon or magical equipment that could make such a sound before.
Then, ripples spread out in the air, and an object the size of a pearl surfaced from the void.
There was no telling whether it had been forced to reveal itself because of the disruption of the fiery spiritual energy just now, or if it was time and there was no need to hide in the air anymore.
Fang Chengzhi was greatly intrigued. He looked around, only to discover that his father, the Cultivators of other sects, and the disciples of the Red Sun Sect were all focused on the hundreds of assassins in front of them. None of them noticed the insignificant pearl.
He thought of something and hesitated for a moment. Finally, he could not hold back his curiosity and secretly released a stream of spiritual energy, which attracted the pearl to him.
It was a piece of magical equipment that looked like a giant eyeball.
But it had a delicacy that Fang Chengzhi had never seen before.
The structure that looked like a crystal pupil and the threads that were dozens of times thinner than hair gave him a feeling of elegance, delicacy, and coldness that was entirely different from the magical equipment of the Ancient Sages Sector.
Naturally, Fang Chengzhi did not know that it was exactly the difference between a workshop and an assembly line.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Fang Chengzhi shuddered in his heart. For some reason, he felt that the magical equipment was very weird.
However, this was Elder Scorching Sun's territory. With such a gigantic fiery fiend in the sky, there did not seem to be anything to be scared of.
Fang Chengzhi swallowed and studied the weird magical equipment for a long time, only to discover that two lines of extremely tiny words were carved on the back of the 'pupil'.
Not only were the two lines of words a hundred times smaller than a grain of rice, many strokes were missing, and the style was extremely weird. Fang Chengzhi guessed for a long time before he managed to understand what they meant.
"Phoenix-19 Super Remote Multipurpose Stealth Crystal Camera.
"Produced by the Glorious Sunlight Group. Specially used by the garrison of the Ancient Sages Special Administrative Region of the Xing Yao Federation."
Beep! Beep!
While Fang Chengzhi and the crystal camera were staring at each other, more identical crystal cameras broke free of their stealth state and floated above everybody's head blatantly.
