It was no wonder that the Vermillion Bird would go through so much trouble to lurk in the Heaven Abhorrer Clan's territory and covet the Heaven Abhorrer Clan's Secret Pavilion …
It was no wonder that the two old men seemed to have gone mad with despair and anger when he first obtained the bronze mirror …
It was no wonder that the Heaven Abhorrer Clan had always been very magnanimous, as if anyone could enter the Heaven Abhorrer Clan's Secret Pavilion as long as they were considered one of their own. It turned out that they did not even know where the real treasures in the Secret Pavilion were. The so-called treasures that were displayed on the surface were actually just some fake items, so they naturally let others see them!
The high priest did not lie. He had indeed told Fang Xing the origin of the bronze mirror, and also resolved many of his doubts.
"You agree?"
Hen Tianning had appeared in front of Fang Xing. She had changed into the dress that Fang Xing had given her, and she looked more elegant. It was a shame that the dress in Fang Xing's storage bag was a Dharma robe that he had stripped from a female cultivator. It was a prop that he had used to disguise himself as a woman to do bad things. It was all good stuff that could not be found in the Ultimate, and was more valuable than the Dharma robe that Hen Tianning usually wore.
"I agree, but I have no time to care about your lives now. Let's talk about it after we return from the Ultimate!"
Fang Xing replied lazily. He actually did not care much about it, because the high priest's so-called backup plan was a forbidden spell formed from his last divine thought. In fact, it had no effect on Fang Xing at all. If this forbidden spell really dared to attack Fang Xing's spirit, it would only end up being refined into nutrients by the Samadhi True Fire, and it would not even be able to enter Fang Xing's sea of consciousness.
"You don't have to worry about it now. In fact, Father has also said that all the clans have mobilized their forces to explore the secret of the Ultimate, and they will not really attack the Heaven Abhorrer Clan. In other words, before the results of the exploration are out, my clansmen will be safe. However, there is one more thing that he wants me to tell you. He hopes that you can bring the people of the Heaven Abhorrer Clan along to explore the Ultimate …"
After saying that, the Heaven Abhorrer Clan directly handed over a bronze ring with many seals on it.
"God-sealing Ring?"
Fang Xing originally wanted to refuse, but when he saw the bronze ring, he was slightly startled.
He had the Yin Yang Fiendgod Mirror with him, so it was easy for him to appraise a magic tool like this. To his surprise, he discovered that this was actually the Mother Ring of the Soul Locking Ring. This ring was divided into two types: the Child Ring and the Mother Ring. The Child Ring was used to lock a cultivator's divine sense, while the Mother Ring was used to control the Child Ring. In other words, after obtaining the Mother Ring, one could control all the cultivators whose divine sense was locked by the Child Ring. With a single thought, one could decide their life or death.
The Heaven Abhorrer Clan nodded and said, "Within this God-sealing Ring, there are ten cultivators' divine sense imprinted. I am one of them, and the other nine are the nine most promising cultivators in our Heaven Abhorrer Clan. Father hoped that you could bring the ten of us to explore the Ruins, but he said that you are not a good person and must be very suspicious, so he simply put the lives of the ten of us in your hands …"
At this point, he paused for a moment, as if he was explaining, "There is one more thing that I think I should tell you. Our clansmen don't know that you … led the Beast Tide to destroy our clan. For some reason, the High Priest and Father did not tell the clansmen that you were the one who led the Beast Tide. However, they vaguely revealed that it was because the clansmen wanted to forcefully extract the Crimson Dragon's soul, causing the True Dragon's Blood Essence to leak, which led to the Beast Tide. Therefore, we reap what we sow … Blame … You are not to be blamed!"
When Fang Xing heard this, he was slightly taken aback. He thought that the Heaven Abhorrer Clan Leader was also a ruthless person!
Did he do this to dispel his worries and hint that he did not need to worry about the Heaven Abhorrer Clan seeking revenge?
This was really a calculated move. It seemed that the Heaven Abhorrer Clan was really planning to swallow this huge loss!
"Where are the nine people?"
He did not elaborate on the matter, but asked instead.
"Actually, they are all on the mountain peak that you brought me here from, but they did not show themselves. If you agree, you can summon them here!"
Fang Xing took the God-sealing Ring and examined it carefully for a moment. He laughed and said, "Now there is someone to order me around!"
With that, he used the Mother Ring to send a message, ordering the nine people to rush to the palace to meet him.
In the meantime, Hen Tianning silently knelt on the ground beside him with her head lowered, not saying a word. Fang Xing could not help but look at her and said with a smile, "You used to be quite cheerful. Why do you look so obedient now?" He did not expect that his words would make Hen Tianning's eyes fall out of her sockets. In the end, she began to cry. "I have never lived like this before.
There are only about a thousand people left in our clan. We are all hiding in a small valley. We don't even dare to go out to hunt. We are afraid that other clans will find out where we are hiding. We don't have enough food, so we can only eat sparingly. I haven't eaten my fill for a few days. Father told me to convince you that you are the only one who can save us. I have been standing on the mountain peak waiting for you, but you never came. I have lost all hope. Father said that if I don't see you, he will marry me to the stupid young master of the Royal Beast Clan in exchange for a chance of survival for the main branch of the Heaven Abhorrer Clan. I don't want to marry a fool … "
Hearing the girl's pitiful cry, Fang Xing felt pity for her. He patted her head and said, "Sigh, you are so pitiful. Don't cry. I will give you a whole piece of meat later. I want it to be fat and lean, the kind that oozes oil when you bite it …"
All of a sudden, Hen Tianning raised her arm. Fang Xing immediately stopped his hand on her head and said in an indifferent voice, "If you dare to play the assassination game with me again, I will crush you to death …"
Hen Tianning's hair stood on end from the sudden killing intent. She raised her head and said, "I … I will wipe my saliva!"
Fang Xing was slightly startled. He then laughed and said, "I am joking with you!"
With that, he jumped up and went out to get someone to deliver a big piece of roasted meat. He was thinking that regardless of the Heaven Hating Clan's intentions, he could use these ten people who had imprinted their Divine Sense on the God Sealing Bracelet. After all, there were only him and Red Dragon, so many things were inconvenient. It would be convenient to bring these ten people along to run errands. He wouldn't feel the pinch even if they died.
As for the rest of the Heaven Hating Clan, it all depended on his mood. In any case, the High Priest's forbidden spell could not threaten him. If they dared to plot against him again, he wouldn't mind exterminating them again. This time, no one would be left alive.
Not long after, the God Sealing Bracelet sensed that the nine clansmen of the Heaven Hating Clan had arrived near the Immortal Ascension Stage. However, the various clans and forces had already surrounded the Immortal Ascension Stage. With their strength, it was impossible for them to enter.
Fang Xing personally went out to welcome them and brought the nine of them in. After sizing them up for a moment, he was quite satisfied.
These nine people were of different ages, but other than Hen Tianning, the youngest was more than 200 years old. Their cultivations were all at the Golden Core stage. Among them, there was an old man who was 600 years old and was even at the mid-stage of the Golden Core stage. In the outside world, Nan Zhan, this person was enough to be a Patriarch. However, in a godforsaken place like the Bottomless Ruins, the clans and forces were all working together. Their individual cultivations were useless and had little impact on the overall situation.
These nine people arrived at the palace. Seeing that there was no one around, they bowed and said, "Di Lord!"
Their expressions were respectful, but there was no hint of respect in their voices. When they looked at Fang Xing, they did not even bother to hide the coldness in their eyes.
Fang Xing understood that although this group of people did not know that he had a grudge against them for exterminating their clans, they were dignified Golden Core cultivators, yet they had to serve him, a Foundation Establishment cultivator who was not even 20 years old, as their Lord. They had even locked their divine senses and placed their lives in his hands. They must have felt indignant. The fact that they could greet him now was probably the result of the Heaven Hating Clan's leader's repeated warnings.
However, he was not afraid. He locked his divine senses. These nine people's lives were in his hands. If he wanted them dead, no matter how high their cultivation was, they would not be able to survive. He did not care if they wanted to be unreasonable with him, but if anyone dared to ruin his plans, he did not mind killing one or two of them for fun. After all, these people were forced by the Heaven Hating Clan to take advantage of him. It was not like he was the one taking advantage of them.
With the Heaven Hating Clan's remaining strength, it was not easy to find another nine Golden Core cultivators. Ten Golden Core cultivators who were loyal to the Heaven Hating Clan and their own daughter were sent to Fang Xing as servants. It was clear that the Heaven Hating Clan's leader had made up his mind this time. After the Head Priest chose to bet on Fang Xing, the Heaven Hating Clan's leader placed a heavy bet on him.
"All of you can leave. I will instruct you if there's anything. Just do your own things and don't bother me if there's nothing important!"
With a lazy wave of his hand, Fang Xing drove them out without even asking for their names.
Seeing this, the nine Golden Core cultivators were a little surprised. One of them, a short and fat man with a red face, said in a displeased tone, "Mr. Priest Xing … Clan Leader, although the Clan Leader has ordered us to assist you and even said to treat you with the same respect as the Great Elder and the others, you should not look down on us so much. The journey into the ruins is extremely dangerous. Shouldn't we discuss it?"
Fang Xing became impatient when he heard this and said, "F * ck off. Do I need to discuss things with you?"
The short and fat man immediately looked angry. He wanted to say something more, but the middle-stage Golden Core cultivator, who looked the oldest, secretly pulled him and bowed to Fang Xing, saying, "Please forgive us, Clan Leader. Before we came, the Clan Leader had already told us the importance of this trip. Naturally, we will follow your lead. Now, we will go to the periphery of the palace and guard it. If there's anything, Clan Leader, please tell us …"
After saying this, the group of people filed out of the palace expressionlessly.
Hen Tianning asked in a low voice, "What about me?"
Fang Xing said casually, "Just wait on me inside!"
Hen Tianning said, "Oh!"
After agreeing for a while, she just stood there without moving.
Fang Xing felt that something was wrong. He turned to her and asked, "Do you know how to wash clothes?"
Hen Tianning said, "… No …"
Fang Xing was stunned and asked again, "Do you know how to cook?"
Hen Tianning said, "… No … No …"
Fang Xing was speechless. "Do you know how to clean the table, wash the dishes, serve tea, and pour water?"
Hen Tianning blinked and did not dare to answer. She also felt that it was too much to say that she did not know how to cook.
Fang Xing also covered his eyes speechlessly. "What else can you do other than sleep with men?"
