"Little miss, this butterfly is so beautiful ~ Quickly catch it, hehe."
"Come, come, look at me, hehe!"
…
Chan 'er and Su Xiaoxiao's laughter echoed on Zong Wang Mountain.
Jun Wu Xie was in his room, recovering from his injuries.
It was already afternoon. Besides the cracks in his source, his body had already recovered to its peak condition.
Looking within himself, he saw a chopstick-sized crack in his source and couldn't help but sigh.
Originally, it would have healed in two or three days at most.
But now, he estimated that he would have to wait until the Primal Chaos Bone was halfway through regenerating before it could heal.
He focused his mind and began to absorb the energy of the Primal Chaos Origin Stone.
"My source is injured, it's too serious. This problem must be completely resolved, otherwise I won't be able to fight at such a high intensity!"
He thought in his heart.
With his current source injury, he didn't doubt that his source would shatter if he used two more forbidden techniques. At that time, what awaited him would be death.
…
At the same time, in the capital of Great Zhou, prison carriages pulling steel cages were parading through the streets.
The Eight Great Family Patriarchs were locked in the cages, as well as the important upper echelons of their families.
"Traitors!"
"Traitors!"
"Bastards, I'll smash you to death!"
…
On both sides of the street, a sea of people carried baskets filled with rotten eggs, rotten tomatoes, rotten cabbages, and rotten sweet potatoes. They cursed angrily as they threw baskets at the cages.
Some people carried chamber pots and splashed them on the Eight Great Family Patriarchs.
Some people even carried feces and splashed them.
For a time, the entire street was filled with a foul stench, but the people didn't seem to smell it at all. It was as if they had been injected with chicken blood, their eyes spitting fire. They wanted nothing more than to bite off a piece of meat from the Eight Great Family Patriarchs.
The people's anger was ignited and difficult to extinguish.
The Eight Great Family Patriarchs held high positions and received the imperial court's salary for generations. They wantonly amassed wealth and lived extravagant lives that ordinary people couldn't imagine.
In the eyes of the people, since they enjoyed treatment and resources far above ordinary people, they should shoulder the responsibilities and duties they should perform.
But these bastards not only didn't perform their duties, they even colluded with Celine's Black Demon Sect and tried to overthrow Great Zhou.
"Lowly people, you lowly people!"
The Eight Great Family Patriarchs roared with heart-rending pain. This humiliation was worse than death.
In the past, they were high and mighty. Who didn't lower their heads when they saw them?
But now, he was being splashed with feces on the street.
In the end, as soon as they opened their mouths, feces and urine all over their faces poured into their mouths. It was so disgusting that they almost vomited bile.
In the end, the people from the eight great clans were escorted to the central square of the capital city.
They were tied to posts and exposed to the scorching sun.
By the time Ji Liufeng arrived, these people were sentenced to death by a thousand cuts in public.
The torturer's technique was very clever. He cut off the flesh from their bodies piece by piece. Before he cut them a thousand times, he did not let them die.
Screams resounded throughout the square.
However, the surrounding onlookers cheered excitedly.
…
On the third day, all the assets from the Eight Great Clans were accounted for.
The number was simply enough to make one tongue-tied.
There were trillions of gold coins, plus all kinds of antiques, treasures, resources, and so on. The total value was in the hundreds of trillions of gold coins!
When he saw this number, Ji Liufeng's face turned pale. He sat down on the ground and didn't recover for a long time.
He was so angry that his entire body was trembling!
His assets were in the hundreds of trillions!
In such a big country, how much money did the national treasury have after so many years?
Any one of these Eight Great Clans' assets could rival the wealth of a country!
In these years, how many national assets had they embezzled? How many people's wealth had they plundered? To be able to accumulate such a terrifying amount of wealth?
"Your Majesty …"
Long Yi looked at him worriedly.
"Long Yi, do you think I'm muddle-headed and incompetent? The Eight Great Clans have amassed such a huge amount of wealth, but I didn't notice at all! I'm ashamed to face the people of Great Zhou! "
"Your Majesty, the Eight Great Clans have been in high positions for generations. Their power is deeply rooted and many things are done flawlessly. This is not Your Majesty's problem …"
"No, Long Yi, you're wrong. I'm sitting in this position. If anything happens to the country, that's my responsibility. I'm muddle-headed and incompetent! It's time for Great Zhou to scrape the poison and heal the wounds. No matter what price I have to pay, no matter what kind of resistance I encounter, I'll remove the malignant tumors one by one! "
…
On Zongwang Mountain, Su Ji and the rest had been paying attention to the area in the east.
Two days had passed.
The sky was getting redder and redder and the area had more than doubled.
Looking from afar, the sky seemed to be somewhat distorted.
"This temperature is really shocking. The heat wave has caused a strange scene of space distortion. From this, I'm afraid the temperature in that area has already reached more than ten thousand degrees!"
Demon Aspect Sect's Nalan Jie said so.
At this moment, Su Ji's expression changed slightly.
He took out the communication jade talisman and the runes on it lit up.
Wisps of light mist entered his palm and a large amount of information poured into his mind.
He looked at everyone and said, "That area is located at the edge of the Longling Mountain Range near Qingyang City. A day ago, a strange magma sea with an unusually high temperature suddenly appeared. Someone saw a huge fire dragon appearing in the magma sea. Other than the fire dragon, there was also a fire lotus!"
"What?"
Nalan Jie and Lingyu stood up in shock.
Dragon?
That was something that no one had ever seen before!
Nalan Jie exclaimed, "Dragon! It's a powerful creature that only exists in ancient books. It's the legendary quasi-divine beast! No one in the world knows what kind of quasi-divine beast it is and what level of human talent its bloodline corresponds to! "
"Even if the fire dragon's bloodline isn't pure, it's at least quasi-divine beast level, which is equivalent to a human quasi-king level! Moreover, it definitely isn't a young dragon! "
"That's right!" Su Ji nodded and said, "Now, all the forces in the Eastern Wilderness are paying attention. The news has even spread to other continents. Currently, some dominator and quasi-dominator forces have sent people there to observe the situation. According to the news my sect received, that fire dragon doesn't seem to have much life left and is extremely weak. Even so, I'm afraid it's not weaker than a sovereign! "
"So, the fire dragon was originally Level 11, which is equivalent to a human sage?"
Nalan Jie and Lingyu's facial muscles twitched a few times.
An Level 11 fire dragon whose bloodline strength was at least that of a quasi-divine beast. If it was at its peak, how terrifying would it be?
Coupled with its exceptionally strong physical body and the fact that it had the home advantage in the magma sea, perhaps even ten human sage sects would not be able to do anything to it.
Su Ji nodded and said, "I'm afraid your Demon Aspect Sect and Spirit Controlling Sect have also sent people there to observe the situation. Obviously, all the forces are now waiting for the fire dragon to become even weaker. At that time, they can send out Sovereign Realm experts to hunt it down. "
"What's that fire lotus?"
Nalan Jie and Lingyu asked.
"It's not clear at the moment. The fire lotus only appeared twice in a very short time, and then it sank into the magma sea. How can something guarded by a Level 11 fire dragon be ordinary? It must be a peerless treasure. "
"This time, I don't know which force will benefit from it. That fire dragon's body is a treasure," Nalan Jie said.
Su Ji shook his head. "A treasure is a treasure, but without paying a huge price, I'm afraid it's not possible to obtain the fire dragon's body …"
…
Ma Ben, Big Bear, and Qing Li had been listening at the side. They did not make a sound, but their hearts were very uneasy.
It really was that place!
This was exactly the same as what was recorded in the ancient books of their clan.
According to the ancient books of their clan, there was a fire dragon in that place, guarding a certain legendary thing.
It was that thing that gave birth to blazing Essence of Flame through the vast earth, affecting their half-demon territory. It caused those areas, other than fire attribute Spiritual Purity and rare treasures, it was difficult to produce any other Spiritual Purity, which greatly affected the development of the half-demon race.
"That thing affecting our half-demon race, could it be the fire lotus that Brother Su Ji mentioned?"
The three of them conversed secretly.
"The current situation is that all the human forces are watching. They know the fire dragon's strength, so they're waiting for the fire dragon to be at its weakest. At that time, the fire dragon may be as weak as a Sovereign Realm expert. "
"They don't want Sovereign Realm experts to participate. After all, the death of a Sovereign Realm expert is also a huge loss to the dominant forces. Moreover, to obtain the fire dragon's body, the death of a Sovereign Realm expert is far from enough. "
"So, their plan is to use Sovereign Realm experts to fight the fire dragon. At that time, even if the fire dragon is ruthless and sublimates in its weakest state, the loss will only be the Sovereign Realm expert, not the Sovereign Realm expert. In the end, as long as they can obtain a part of the fire dragon's body, the gain will be far greater than the cost. "
"Humph, with their nature, they'll definitely kill and rob each other. This time, we half-demon race must seize the opportunity and completely resolve the dilemma we've been facing for many years. "
"That fire lotus must not fall into the hands of others, otherwise it may be used against us half-demon race in the future! It's best if it falls into the hands of Brother Wuxie. He's the War Saint's disciple, and according to the War Saint's rules, all experts above the Sovereign Realm will not take the initiative to attack him. He only wants to face the fire dragon and the sea of lava! "
"Indeed, Brother Wuxie will have an innate advantage if he participates in this matter. I think it's feasible!"
"However, whether he's willing to participate or not is another matter. Let's tell him the entire matter clearly without hiding anything and let him make his own choice. "
Ma Ben, Big Bear, and Qing Li discussed in secret and reached an agreement.
… …
Time passed day by day.
The eastern sky grew redder and redder.
Azure City was shrouded in unbearable heat. The nearby vegetation had all withered, and many places would burst into flames from time to time.
All the people in the city began to move.
Ji Liufeng had already ordered the garrisons around Phoenix Skies City to assist the residents of Azure Sun City in moving to Phoenix Skies City.
However, the four great families of Azure Sun City did not choose to move to Phoenix Skies City. Instead, they dragged their families and dozens of carriages of belongings to embark on a long journey to the capital of Great Zhou.
… …
On the Sovereign Mountain.
Jun Wu Xie had not appeared for more than ten days.
In these days, he had been cultivating and absorbing the power of the chaos source rock.
"The injury to my origin is finally healed …"
He looked at his own condition and could not help but let out a long sigh.
Now, half of his spine had turned pure gold, and there were dense innate bone runes flickering with chaotic light on his bones.
His body was filled with golden light, and chaotic qi flowed.
"Chaos essence is really powerful, especially for tempering the body. My Fate Star has also become more solid!"
He stretched his body slightly and felt that every inch of his flesh and blood contained boundless power.
This feeling excited him.
Half of the Primal Chaos Genesis Bone had been reborn. He had thought that it would allow his talent to grow and reach the second level of King of All Eras.
Unexpectedly, he had already reached the peak of the fourth level of King of All Eras!
The higher the rebirth rate of the Primal Chaos Genesis Bone, the higher the purity and quality of the chaos essence it produced.
"Miss Qingxue, what's above King of All Eras? Legendary?"
He was now filled with anticipation. If this continued, when the Primal Chaos Genesis Bone was reborn perfectly, it should not be difficult for him to break through to King of All Eras.
"Yes."
Ye Qingxue's weak voice sounded in his mind.
Jun Wu Xie's heart tightened. "You … what's wrong?"
"That day, suppressing the power of darkness consumed a lot of my energy. Heaven in the second level took the opportunity to counterattack, trying to break free of the seal. I've been reinforcing the seal these days, but it seems that the situation is not good …"
"How can this be? I didn't feel anything strange from the Universe Suppression Tower these days?"
"In order to prevent it from affecting your recovery, I forcibly cut off the connection between you and the Universe Suppression Tower. Now, Heaven in the second level is temporarily silent. He's accumulating power. In my current state, I'm afraid I won't be able to last much longer … "
"Then what kind of Divine Metal is needed to repair the second level of the Universe Suppression Tower? Where might it be? Tell me!"
Jun Wu Xie's heart sank. He knew how terrifying the existences in the Universe Suppression Tower were.
If such existences really broke free of the seal, he would be dead for sure. All the worlds in the universe would be annihilated!
Moreover, hearing Ye Qingxue's weak voice made him feel very uncomfortable.
This woman with a sharp tongue, in such a weak state, had actually consumed energy to forcibly cut off the Universe Suppression Tower, just so that it would not affect his recovery of his origin …
