Not long after Goddess Qianyu left, Tianfeng Mountain regained its tranquility. Countless people in the distance looked at Tianfeng Mountain without making a sound for a long time.
Not a single sound could be heard from the huge crowd, and not a single commotion could be seen. It was as if time had been frozen at this moment, and everything was frozen!
Suddenly, countless people began to retreat one after another, moving further away from Tianfeng Mountain because this would give them a safer feeling. Only a small portion of people remained in their original positions.
However, the small portion of people who remained in their original positions no longer had any thoughts of climbing the mountain. The flames of greed in their hearts were completely extinguished as if a large bucket of cold water had been poured over them.
Then, just like that, countless people stared deeply at Tianfeng Mountain from afar, waiting for night to fall, waiting for the sun to rise, and waiting for tomorrow's peak battle to arrive.
.....
Late at night!
Northern Ice City, Qingyun Lower Continent, Northern Plains!
The Northern Plains of the Greencloud Lower Continent was a very special place. The Northern Ice City was also a very special city. This was because the Northern Plains was actually a boundless ocean. It was so large that even cultivators couldn't cross it in the sky.
Moreover, there was an inexplicable restrictive force in the sky above the Northern Plains. Any cultivator who flew in the sky above the Northern Plains would find that the spiritual energy in their body was being consumed very quickly. They wouldn't be able to fly very far and could only land in the ocean.
However, there were almost endless aquatic creatures in the ocean. Some of them were extremely powerful. Falling into the water was no different from courting death.
Therefore, if one wanted to cross the Northern Plains and reach the only city in the Northern Plains, Northern Ice City, they could only use a seagoing ship. There was a special Northern Ice Origin Stone in Northern Ice City on the ship, which could deter all aquatic creatures and allow the ship to pass through safely.
At this moment, in the City Lord's Mansion in Northern Ice City!
Di Nan and the other descendants of the Magic Kingdom sat facing the plain-clothed old man in front of them. They were silent for a long time!
This plain-clothed old man was the leader of the descendants of the Magic Kingdom in Qingyun Lower Continent. The place where these descendants of the Magic Kingdom were hiding was Northern Ice City.
After many years of development, these descendants of the Magic Kingdom had become the actual rulers of Northern Ice City. At the same time, with the help of some special concealment methods that they brought from the Magic Kingdom, they appeared openly in front of the public and even had many normal interactions with various forces in Qingyun Lower Continent.
As the saying goes, a small hermit hides in the wilderness while a big hermit hides in the city.
After staring deeply at Di Nan's group for an unknown period of time, the plain clothed old man was the first to open his mouth and break the silence in the air.
"Senior Di Nan, I still can't believe what you said!" The plain-clothed old man opened his mouth and spoke in a faint voice. "Is this Xiao Fan really an Almighty from our Devil Nation?"
"It's absolutely true!" Di Nan stared into the plain-clothed old man's eyes and said forcefully, "The destruction of Tianqi County and the other five counties, as well as the destruction of the Cui Family, were all done by His Excellency!
"His Excellency possesses unparalleled power and has been working hard for the Magic Kingdom. Therefore, you really don't have to suspect anything!"
"I've heard about the destruction of the five counties!" The plain-clothed old man shook his head. He picked up a cup of tea beside him and took a sip before continuing, "However, there's no information to prove that it was done by Xiao Fan!"
"It's the same for the Cui Family. There's also no evidence to prove that it was done by the Xiao Fan you mentioned. Although I, Wang Ze, am in Northern Ice City and don't interact much with the outside world, it doesn't mean that I don't know anything about the outside world."
"This Unparalleled Sword is the proof!" Di Nan took out the Unparalleled Sword and placed it in front of the plain-clothed old man. "You should have heard about the Unparalleled Sword from your ancestors, right?"
"I have indeed heard about the Unparalleled Sword from my ancestors. I can also confirm that this sword should be the Unparalleled Sword!" The plain-clothed old man, Wang Ze, nodded and said.
"You still don't believe me?" Di Nan raised his eyebrows and asked.
"The fact that the Unparalleled Sword is in your hands can indeed explain some things. However, this has nothing to do with the Xiao Fan you mentioned!" Wang Ze continued to shake his head and said calmly, "Therefore, I still can't fully believe you!"
Hearing Wang Ze's words, Di Nan rubbed his forehead in pain. A look of helplessness flashed across his face, but at the same time, a look of understanding flashed across his face.
Di Nan understood that Wang Ze didn't have any ill intentions when he said these words. It was just that he was such a person.
This was because Wang Ze was famous for being stubborn and conservative. On one hand, he adhered to the teachings left behind by his ancestors, such as rebuilding the Magic Kingdom. On the other hand, he always believed what he saw and heard with his own eyes. He didn't believe in anyone else.
Therefore, he didn't believe in his own words before the most effective evidence about Xiao Fan. He also didn't believe that Xiao Fan had the ability to rebuild the Magic Kingdom. Therefore, he was suspicious and cautious about following Xiao Fan.
"Wang Ze, Wang Ze, I really don't know what to say about you!" Wang Ze didn't have any ill intentions, so Di Nan couldn't do anything to him. Therefore, he could only smile bitterly.
"To be honest, I don't really believe in Senior Di Nan's words either!" Beside Wang Ze stood a girl with straight and strong legs. Her whole body was full of strength and beauty, just like a female leopard. At this time, she shook her head and said, "I've also heard of this Xiao Fan. He's very arrogant and never puts anyone in his eyes. He does things unscrupulously, as if there's nothing he doesn't dare to do!"
"As for his strength, it may be a little strange, but it's not bad. However, compared to the true peak strength, it's still a far cry. Moreover, compared to rebuilding the Magic Kingdom, it's not even worth mentioning!"
"So, Senior Di Nan, it's not just my grandfather who can't see that Xiao Fan has the ability to rebuild the Magic Kingdom. I can't see it either!"
"I heard that this Xiao Fan has an ambiguous relationship with Leng Qiuyan from the Red Chamber. Everyone says that he's a gigolo kept by Leng Qiuyan?" On the other side of Wang Ze, there was another girl. This girl was elegant and graceful, with a delicate face and an otherworldly temperament. She formed a sharp contrast with the energetic female leopard girl beside her. At this time, she frowned and said faintly.
They were Wang Ze's two granddaughters. The one who spoke earlier was Wang Ruyun, and the one who spoke now was Wang Ruoliu.
"That's just a false rumor!" Di Nan shook his head and said.
"Perhaps the people are indeed spreading false rumors. However, Senior Di Nan, you don't have any evidence, and your words are also without any proof. You can't completely believe it!" Wang Ruoliu sighed and shook her head.
Hearing Wang Ruoliu's words, Di Nan was speechless.
"How about this, Senior Di Nan. You can have a good rest here in Northern Ice City. If you need anything, you can tell me. I'll definitely satisfy you!" At this point, Wang Ze didn't want to continue speaking. He stood up, looked at Di Nan, and nodded.
"Wang Ze, think about it again. I'm really speaking the truth. There's no falsehood in my words!" Di Nan also stood up, and once again persuaded with a bitter smile.
"If there's a day when this Xiao Fan you speak of truly displays invincible strength and shows me that he does indeed have the strength to rebuild our Magic Kingdom, I, Wang Ze, will definitely lead the entire clan to follow him!" Wang Ze sighed, shook his head, and said, "But now, I'm really sorry!"
Di Nan's expression was extremely helpless.
"Moreover, Senior Di Nan, it's not like you haven't heard that in the Central Region and the Upper Region, there were many people who wanted to borrow the name of the Lord to gather the hidden descendants of the Magic Kingdom in various places and rebuild the Magic Kingdom!" Wang Ze's voice contained a trace of bitterness and also a trace of disappointment. He shook his head and said, "But, all of them failed!"
"The price of failure is very high. Originally, there were still people who could have survived, but because they were exposed, they all died. Therefore, before I can confirm that this Xiao Fan can really lead us to rebuild the Magic Kingdom, I don't want to put my people at risk and throw them into a battle that's certain death!"
"Senior Di Nan, I hope you can understand!"
"I understand, but …!" Di Nan said with a bitter smile.
However, Wang Ze didn't wait for Di Nan to finish speaking. He directly walked out, not wanting to listen to Di Nan's words. Di Nan could only remain silent. His brows were tightly knitted as he thought of a new plan.
However, just as Wang Ze's figure walked to the door, a figure suddenly rushed in, then knelt down on one knee before Wang Ze, and began to report to Wang Ze in a low voice.
That was the Northern Ice City's own secret guard. He was responsible for collecting information from the outside world and trying his best to keep the Northern Ice City in sync with the outside world. This way, the Northern Ice City wouldn't really become a defensive city and be unaware of the various changes in the outside world.
After hearing the secret guard's report, Wang Ze's expression changed. Beside him, Wang Ruyun and Wang Ruoliu's expressions also changed. There was a trace of disbelief in their eyes.
"Tianfeng Mountain, Xiao Fan announced to everyone that ten descendants of the Magic Kingdom can exchange for a root of the Daluo Dragon Tree, a hundred descendants of the Magic Kingdom can exchange for a piece of bark of the Daluo Dragon Tree, a thousand descendants of the Magic Kingdom can exchange for a leaf of the Daluo Dragon Tree, and ten thousand descendants of the Magic Kingdom can exchange for a Dragon Fruit of the Daluo Dragon Tree?" Wang Ze's expression changed as he said, "Then, exterminate the Duan Family, slaughter the Xiao Family, and tomorrow, face the eight major forces of the Ethereal Peak, Guanghan Sacred Ground, Tan Lang, Qin Sect, Baixie Family, Man Long Army, Sacred Flame Sect, Cloud Dragon Chamber of Commerce, and the other major forces?"
