"Yes, Martial Uncle!"
The three figures bowed and cupped their hands. They rushed out of the National Warrior's Mansion, jumped a few times like arrows, and rushed down the mountain as fast as meteors.
After the three of them left, the short old man's calm face showed worry, and his eyes flashed with wisdom. "Seventh Brother, the Demon Cult and the Corpse-driven Sect dare to blatantly violate the peace agreement and attack in Yan Jing. This matter doesn't seem to be simple."
"Humph, they're not provoking us, but they want to test Third Brother's injury."
Although the tall old man looked grumpy, he was not a fool. As one of the 13 Iron-Blood Guards who had fought with the great ancestor, if he didn't have any political wisdom, he would have died many times already.
The two small sects dared to openly make trouble in Yan Jing. They were simply courting death. It would be strange if he couldn't smell something strange from it.
"Do they want to tear up the peace agreement?"
The thin old man, the ninth guard, asked in horror.
The tall old man's eyes flickered, and his voice sounded distant, "Not necessarily. Maybe it has something to do with the prediction of the Tianji Pavilion some time ago."
The thin old man became more and more shocked, and he cried out involuntarily, "You mean the Sky-reaching Relics?"
"Yes, that's right."
The tall old man frowned and nodded, but he didn't say much.
The thin old man didn't ask any more questions. His eyes flickered, and he showed a thoughtful look.
After a long time, he changed the topic and asked, "Seventh Brother, has your Third Brother recovered from his injury? When can he come out of closed-door cultivation?"
"Well, Third Brother has been in closed-door cultivation for more than 20 years, which made these rascals think that there's no one in the National Warrior's Mansion, so they came to test us."
The tall old man's eyes were full of killing intent. "Perhaps they have long forgotten that the National Warrior's Mansion not only has the Country Guarding Martial Marquis, but also the two of us are still alive."
When the skinny old man heard this, his face showed an extraordinary expression. He smiled proudly and said, "Yes, people only know that the five remaining guards of the 13 Iron-Blood Guards followed the great ancestor to intimidate the ancient martial world and sign the peace agreement, but they also paid a huge price. Two of them died and two of them were seriously injured. Only Third Brother stayed in the National Warrior's Mansion with a minor injury. After so many years, I'm afraid these people still think that the two of us, who were seriously injured in those years, have already died. They don't know that Third Brother, in order to save our lives, gathered all the elixirs in the world with the power of the whole country. Although we couldn't fully recover, we survived.
"Haha, then let these guys see that Third Brother is not the only Country Guarding Martial Marquis in our Warrior's Mansion. The 13 Iron-Blood Guards have not died out yet. It's been decades. It's time for me, Iron Wall Xiang Tiange, and Death-seeking Qu Wuyou to reappear in the world."
The tall old man, Xiang Tiange, suddenly had a heroic spirit. He laughed wildly and unrestrainedly.
…
In a small courtyard in an alley in Yan Jing, Night Lone Ranger reluctantly glanced at the residence where she lived when she was training in the Bureau of Religions and walked out resolutely.
She had lived here for more than two years, and it was finally time to leave. She had to leave in time to find a place to give birth before her sect received the notice from the Bureau of Religions that her training was over. Otherwise, with the ruthlessness and indifference of the elders in her sect, the little life in her belly would have no chance to come to this world.
Unfortunately, God disposes. Just as Night Lone Ranger was about to go out for a long time, a figure in a white palace dress appeared in front of her. "Lone Ranger, where are you going?"
Night Lone Ranger opened her small mouth in astonishment and looked at the uninvited guest in front of her. "Master, why are you here?"
The woman in palace attire wore a light veil over her face, revealing a pair of beautiful eyes that rippled with light, filled with infinite charm. However, her temperament was the complete opposite. She exuded a sense of aloofness and holiness, as if she was a fairy that had descended to the mortal world, causing others to involuntarily feel reverence in their hearts.
"I'm here to take you back."
"Back to my sect?"
Night Lone Ranger was caught unprepared by this sudden change and felt uneasy. She didn't know if her master knew something and came to find her specially.
"Yes, your training must end in advance. The world is about to be in chaos, and I'm worried about you staying in the secular world."
Fortunately, the woman in the palace dress was so worried that she didn't notice Night Lone Ranger's abnormality. She explained to herself, "I will arrange someone to inform the Bureau of Religions. Your training is over, and you can go back with me now."
Night Lone Ranger was a little relieved. It seemed that her pregnancy had not been exposed for the time being, but as long as she returned to her sect, she couldn't hide it for a long time. For now, she could only take one step at a time, try to delay the time of going back, and then think of a way to escape.
She immediately held the arm of the woman in the palace dress and said coquettishly, "Master, you must be tired after a long journey. Let's have a rest in the room for a night, and it won't be too late to leave tomorrow."
The woman in the palace dress hesitated and nodded. "I'm not tired, but there is indeed something to see in Yan Jing tonight. It won't be too late to leave tomorrow morning."
Night Lone Ranger took the woman in the palace dress into the room, poured a cup of tea for her, and asked curiously, "Master, what do you want to see?"
"Speaking of it, it has something to do with the upcoming chaos. The Heaven-accessing Secret Land is about to open."
The woman lifted her veil, revealing a beautiful face that could topple cities. She took a sip of tea and frowned, "What a disgusting tea."
Night Lone Ranger rebuked, "This is the secular world. It's good enough to have this tea. Do you think it's the spiritual tea of our Holy-goddess Tribe? Just make do with it."
"That's true. How can the tea in the secular world be compared with the spiritual tea of our Holy-goddess Tribe?"
The woman in the palace dress looked natural, as if she was talking about something natural, which made Night Lone Ranger roll her eyes. Although her master's cultivation was high, she was even more innocent than a piece of white paper. Sometimes she even seemed extremely silly and cute. They were master and disciple in name, but in fact, they were like sisters. They usually got along with each other in private.
After more than two years of experience in the secular world, Night Lone Ranger was no longer the kind of person who was ignorant of the world. She held the arm of the woman in the palace dress intimately. "Master, go on. What is the Heaven-accessing Secret Land?"
The woman in the palace dress rubbed her head affectionately and said solemnly, "The Heaven-accessing Secret Land is related to the ancestral land of our Holy-goddess Tribe."
"Ancestral land? Isn't the ancestral land of our Holy-goddess Tribe in the Boundless Mountain? "
Night Lone Ranger covered her mouth in surprise and asked.
"No, it's a long story. In antiquity times, our Holy-goddess Tribe was not called the Holy-goddess Tribe, but the Mysterious Fairy Tribe."
The woman in the palace dress looked nostalgic. "According to the oral tradition of our ancestors and ancient records, our Mysterious Fairy Tribe was originally a tribe that shepherded all the people in the world and maintained the peace of the world. We are the descendants of the Mysterious Fairy of the Ninth Heaven, the Goddess of War."
"Ah, the Mysterious Fairy of the Ninth Heaven? Isn't that a myth? "
It was also the first time for Night Lone Ranger to hear the origin of the tribe, so she asked in surprise.
"I don't know, either. It's just that this news was passed down by our ancestors and supported by ancient records, so it should be somewhat true."
The woman in the palace dress frowned slightly, and her stunning appearance made Night Lone Ranger a little absent-minded. Then she came to herself and asked, "What does the Heaven-accessing Secret Land have to do with our Holy-goddess Tribe?"
"It's said that the Heaven-accessing Secret Land contains the secret of the Immortal Path."
The woman in the palace dress showed a yearning look, blinked her eyes, and said, "You've been in the sect for so many years, so you should know that in the past 100 years, there hasn't even been a master of the God Martial Arts Realm in the ancient martial world, let alone a master of the Saint Level. Therefore, the appearance of the Heaven-accessing Secret Land will inevitably attract the covetous eyes of all sects and forces."
"Becoming an immortal? Are there really immortals in this world? "
Night Lone Ranger was startled and asked incredulously.
The woman in the palace dress looked at her with a smile and said, "The so-called immortals are just more powerful warriors. In the eyes of ordinary people, we are also immortals."
"That's only for masters of the God Martial Arts Realm like you, Master. In the eyes of ordinary people, people like me are at most powerful warriors."
Night Lone Ranger flattered her, which made the woman in the palace dress smile happily. "You only know how to make me happy."
"Hee hee, Master, you said that the Heaven-accessing Secret Land is related to the ancestral land of our Holy-goddess Tribe. What's going on?"
Seeing that her master had strayed off the topic again, Night Lone Ranger hurriedly continued to ask.
"As I said just now, in ancient times, our Holy-goddess Tribe was called the Mysterious Ladies Tribe. We were a tribe that shepherded the human world on behalf of the gods, and the Sky-reaching Tower, the channel of communication with the gods, was in the ancestral land of our Mysterious Ladies Tribe. Later, the world was in chaos, and heroes fought for supremacy. Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang joined forces to fight against Chiyou, the master of the Jiuli Tribe, but they were defeated again and again. Later, they had no choice but to ask our tribe for help, saying that Chiyou was possessed by a demon and would bring disaster to the human world."
The woman in the palace dress tried hard to recall what she had read in the ancient books. "At that time, the duty of our Mysterious Ladies Tribe was to eliminate demons and maintain the peace of the human world, but we didn't interfere in the war of dynasty change. Xuan Ji, the chief of the tribe, went to the Jiuli Tribe to observe Chiyou and found that he did show signs of being demonized. Therefore, after reporting to the immortal world through the Sky-reaching Tower, the gods gave Xuan Ji the Demon-sealing Chain, Yan Emperor the Fire of the Underworld, and Flowing Light to the emperor to kill Chiyou."
"What happened later?"
Night Lone Ranger listened with interest and asked.
"Later …"
The woman in the palace dress frowned in distress. "Later, although Chiyou was successfully killed, Xuan Ji, the chief of the tribe, disappeared. I don't know what Yan Emperor and Huang Emperor said to the gods, which made the gods angry and punished our Mysterious Ladies Tribe. Those who participated in the human war were killed without mercy, and those who didn't participated would have their bloodlines sealed, and from then on, they would never be able to break through the Holy Martial Arts Realm."
"Ah!"
It was the first time that Night Lone Ranger had heard of this, and she covered her mouth in shock.
"That's not the most important thing. The most outrageous thing was that Yan Emperor and Huang Emperor obeyed the orders of the gods but disobeyed them secretly. They said that as the spokesmen of the gods, we rashly participated in the human war. Xuan Ji also secretly hid the divine weapon given by the gods and fled, intending to kill all the members of our Mysterious Ladies Tribe. Our Mysterious Ladies Tribe couldn't defend ourselves. Except for a few members who sensed that something was wrong and fled first, the rest were all killed."
Even though countless years had passed, when talking about such a miserable past, the woman in the palace dress still couldn't help feeling indignant and full of sorrow. "The lucky survivors of the Mysterious Ladies Tribe fled into the wilderness and lived a life of eating raw meat and drinking blood. After thousands of years of reproduction, the present Holy-goddess Tribe came into being."
"Master, it's not right. According to what you said, the bloodline of our Holy-goddess Tribe has been sealed, and we can't give birth to strong people in the Holy Martial Arts Realm. Why can our Holy-goddess Tribe still be one of the Four Holy Gates? Has our bloodline seal been broken?"
Night Lone Ranger asked in confusion.
"The bloodline seal hasn't been lifted."
The woman in the palace dress shook her head with a bitter smile and told a shocking secret. "Our Holy-goddess Tribe doesn't have strong people in the Holy Martial Arts Realm."
"What? Then how can we be one of the Four Holy Gates? "
Night Lone Ranger stood up inexplicably in horror and asked incredulously.
"Because the Mysterious Ladies Tribe is the descendant of the Empyrean Fairy, the Goddess of War, and we practice the way of tactical deployments. Even if our ancestors fled in a hurry, resulting in a large loss of inheritance, relying on the incomplete way of tactical deployments mastered by our ancestors, the strong people in the God Martial Arts Realm of our tribe can exert the combat power no less than that of those in the Holy Martial Arts Realm, so that other sects will think that our Holy-goddess Tribe has strong people in the Holy Martial Arts Realm. Therefore, we can be one of the Four Holy Gates."
The woman in the palace dress said with a faint look.
