The moonlight was silvery, the vegetation was verdant, the lake was quiet, and vines grew.
This might have been nothing special in the Mist province or the Green province, but it was an extremely rare sight in the Scarlet province.
Oases in deserts were often referred to as "pearls", and this oasis was the largest pearl of the Scarlet province, Pearl City.
The domed palace with the distinctive characteristics of the Scarlet province stood silently in the darkness. The lights of the past had been completely extinguished long ago, and the once bustling streets were covered in a layer of moss. There were neither cries of birds nor cries of insects in the surroundings. Only when the night wind blew up the wind chimes would they ring out clearly.
The White Camel Sand King stood on the moss and stared at the wind chimes for a while. He could tell that they were originally camel bells, so he made his way into the depths of the oasis without batting an eyelid.
He arrived in front of a magnificent door, crossed over the tall sill, and passed by a mottled plaque.
The plaque was inscribed with the words "The King of Wei's estate" in a flamboyant style, indicating the power this place once possessed.
In the centre of the estate was a great lake that radiated with dense spiritual qi. At the centre of the lake was a small island with many majestic palaces built on it. This was originally the heart of the entire estate, or even the entire Scarlet province, but now, it was enveloped by a towering tree. Aerial roots criss-crossed like dragons and snakes, and the shade of the tree was so thick that even the moonlight could not pass through. It was like a dark cloud had enveloped Pearl City.
The White Camel Sand King crossed the surface of the lake and arrived under the tree. He knocked the tree with his walking stick. "Old friend, that little friend of yours is far too vicious!"
"Have you come to complain to me?" The Banyan Tree King's simple, elegant face appeared on the tree, and his gaze became even more vast and profound.
"No. I'm warning you. "
"Thank you for your warning, but she's no one's friend."
"I originally thought you could influence her a little at the very least if she fought for you."
"She's not fighting for me, but for a promise. Apart from that person, no one can influence her. "
"One of the three ministers has died here. The Great Xia will never let this matter go."
"She's already killed a provincial lord, so why would she care about killing another grand tutor? From the moment I set foot on this path, the Great Xia would never let me go. I know you love life and hate death, but no matter how crazy and unreasonable her actions seem, they are all based on rational judgment. "
"Is killing them all rational?"
The White Camel Sand King asked. He was born in the desert. Living in the desert for a long time, they felt that life was not easy, and that was why they frequently lent a helping hand to mortals. Even the weakest of the Outsiders wanted to give them a chance of survival.
Just Now in front of the Painting Tomb. He tried to give those cultivators blinded by greed a chance of survival. Tell them not to face her. However, he was disturbed by Grand Preceptor Dong's attack. Moreover, he did not want to face her, so he could only retreat. How could he be forced to retreat by a painting of Grand Preceptor Dong?
However, the result was worse than expected. She did not even spare those who had left the Painting Tomb.
"You think that Grand Preceptor Dong should retreat? Do I need to say a few words to get them to disperse? "
"What do you mean?"
"Now, she can solve all the problems without saying a word. Weighing the pros and cons is called being rational."
"As expected of someone who is about to become a god!"
The White Camel Sand King said indifferently. If the Banyan Tree King had not said it, he would never have imagined that someone would kill one of the Three Dukes of the Great Xia just to say a few words.
"There is no need to be angry. You know that I also cherish living things. This is just imitating her thinking. There are many uncertainties in the Painting Tomb, and Grand Preceptor Dong is the greatest potential threat. She wants to clear the area before the Painting Tomb opens, and the only choice is to ensure that those who have made a promise to Li Qingshan. As for the others, although the risk is not great, it is not as good as spending a little effort to avoid hidden dangers. I believe she has considered all of this. "
"She does not trust you."
"The Dao she walks has always been like this. Perhaps I would rather she be trapped in the Painting Tomb?" the Banyan Tree King sighed.
"Are you not worried at all that the entire Nine States has become like this? She is far more terrifying than the Soaring Locust King!"
The White Camel Sand King was furious. He raised his cane and pointed it at the entire Pearl City. A fierce gust of wind stirred up the wind chimes, causing them to ring.
A year ago, the lord of the Scarlet province refused to hand over the Scarlet province cauldron. The Banyan Tree King commanded the otherfolk of the Mist province, while Li Fengyuan led the winged folk of the City Amongst the Clouds. The White Camel Sand King also lent a helping hand due to his friendship with the Banyan Tree King. The three of them formed an army and attacked the city with all their might.
Only she never took action, guarding against any possible changes. Only when the city was breached did she suddenly take action, personally killing the King of Wei, his wife, and the eight honoured guests. Then she set fire to everything, sparing not even a single bird or insect.
Afterwards, she moved to various parts of the Scarlet province and destroyed all the sects that took part in the battle. Close to twenty great cultivators directly died to her hands, and the human cultivation community of the Scarlet province had basically completely collapsed.
The name of the Enemy of Buddha shocked the world!
Only when she emerged from the shadow of the Daemon King of the North Moon did the world understand just how terrifying Great Beauty and White Bone were.
The Hawkwolf Guard declared her to be their greatest enemy, even more so than the Banyan Tree King. However, neither the Protector Hawk God nor the Skyfrost Wolf King ever appeared. Even when the White Camel Sand King ran into her in his territory, he would take a detour around her.
This is my sin. If it weren't for this battle, the future expansion wouldn't have gone so smoothly.
The Banyan Tree King closed his eyes. He had already taken over the Mist province, the Green province, the Scarlet province, the Harmony province, the Cloud province, and the Thunder province. That was equivalent to taking over most of the nine provinces.
A large part of the reason why everything had gone so smoothly was because of her deterrence. Even great cultivators felt fear. They had to weigh the pros and cons and consider the consequences. Afterwards, the various estates all accepted the Banyan Tree King's conditions and gave up the nine cauldrons. None of the guests were willing to fight her.
When he opened his eyes again, his face was already filled with worry. I've never been so worried. No one understands her terror better than me. She helped me take the nine cauldrons for a promise, as well as to borrow my power to suppress the Hungry Ghost realm. I don't even dare to disappoint her, or she'll come up with something herself.
The White Camel Sand King's heart shivered. He was unable to imagine what the outcome would be, but he understood one thing very well. The greatest threat to this world was neither the invasion of the Demon domain, nor the devouring of the Hungry Ghost realm, but her.
"You should feel fortunate that she hasn't slaughtered just for the sake of power. I hope Qingshan can return soon!" The Banyan Tree King sighed from the bottom of his heart.
Before Chu Danqing could say anything else, he was sucked into the Painting Tomb.
Little Ann followed closely behind, but the Painting Tomb closed before her. She grabbed the Forsaken Immortal sword with a flip of her hand and cut through it. She sensed something and glanced in the direction of Pearl city.
