Mountains and rivers had been destroyed, leaving behind a scene of devastation.
Jun Wu Xie had witnessed the devastation of the Great Zhou Empire on his way to the Southern Mountain Range. It was simply hell on earth.
The destroyed cities and towns were littered with bones and rotting corpses. The stench filled the air and swarms of flies circled the area.
Tens of thousands of miles of land was filled with such a tragic scene.
Yueyao and Concubine Ling sighed.
Jun Wu Xie remained silent. The destruction brought about by war was too cruel and despairing for the people living in this land.
Only a powerful country could bring about prosperity and peace, and people could live and work in peace.
The weak would be trampled on, invaded, and slaughtered.
Not to mention enjoying life and experiencing life, even the most basic survival was a luxury.
"Back then, my world was also in such a tragic state …"
Imperial Concubine Ling recalled the dark past and that era of despair.
"This world lacks the true guardians of order. The deaths of many mortals is destroying the foundation of this world!"
Yueyao sighed. No matter how much the forces in other worlds fought, they would not do such a thing. They would all stick to their bottom line and would not allow innocent mortals to be slaughtered.
Concubine Ling said that this behavior was very similar to the group of beings who followed the will of darkness.
Jun Wu Xie's eyes twitched when he heard this.
Behind Celine were the Black Demon Sect and the Soul Hunter Hall.
If not for their support, would Celine dare to do this?
He could not understand why the Black Demon Sect and the Soul Hunter Hall supported Celine's slaughter.
Mortals were no threat to them, so there was no conflict of interest.
In that case, the Black Demon Sect and the Soul Hunter Hall did not need to support Celine's slaughter policy.
Especially the Soul Hunter Hall!
This organization had existed since ancient times to hunt for the souls and origins of those with ancient bloodlines.
However, there were many ancient bloodlines in the world that were descendants of mortals.
Celine's actions were cutting off the Soul Hunter Hall's future path of soul hunting.
"Yao 'er, how much do you know about the Soul Hunter Hall?"
"The Soul Hunting Hall is very mysterious. Our Mystic Moon Clan has protected the Ancient Divine World for countless years, but we have very limited information about this organization. They roamed the world in different eras, hunting for the origin of ancient blood and souls, and always devoted themselves to this goal. "
"As for what they use the ancient blood origins and souls for, that is an unsolved mystery. Our clan has captured many soul hunters, but we were unable to obtain any information about the Soul Hunting Hall from them. "
"Have you ever found the power of darkness in a soul hunter?"
"No."
Yueyao shook her head.
She and Concubine Ling both looked at Jun Wu Xie. "Does Brother Wuxie suspect that Soul Hunting Temple is related to the Dark Creatures?"
"I'm just guessing."
"This possibility is very small. There are no clues to support it, but we can't completely rule out this possibility."
Yueyao's eyes were filled with deep hatred when she mentioned the Soul Hunting Hall.
Back then, Jun Wu Xie was besieged and almost had his soul scattered. On the surface, it looked like the Ancient Divine World's five great factions had joined hands, but according to some clues, it was almost certain that the Soul Hunting Hall was behind it. They were the ones who had pushed and planned everything.
"Brother Wuxie, other than the Soul Hunting Hall, there is also the Sky Pure Sect that we need to be wary of. This sect seems to be protecting the world's order on the surface, but it's not that simple. They should have other motives."
"The only supreme ruler of this world, the Sky Pure Sect?" Jun Wu Xie asked in surprise. "Why do you say that?"
Yueyao indicated that many great sects in the world did not exist independently. There were some connections between sects in various worlds, especially those that had existed for countless years.
For example, the Soul Hunting Hall and the Sky Pure Sect.
This world had the Sky Pure Sect, the Upper World had the Sky Pure Holy Sect, and the Ancient Divine World had the Sky Pure Divine Sect!
The Divine Moon Race had interacted with the Sky Pure Sect since ancient times and realized that their existence did not match the sect's ideology on the surface. There seemed to be the shadow of the Sky Pure Sect in some major events.
In this world, the Sky Pure Sect claimed to be protecting the world's order. However, the Sky Pure Sect did not appear to stop Xi Lin's massacre and the Black Demon Sect and the Soul Hunting Hall openly participating in the war between the mortal countries.
"The Sky Pure Sect is not a good thing. I already knew that. However, after hearing what you said, the purpose of this sect's existence is somewhat thought-provoking. If they wanted to maintain the world's order, they would not have remained silent. If they wanted to achieve great things, given their strength, they should have already ruled the world after such a long time! "
Jun Wu Xie recalled the predicament that the Phantom Pupil Race was in.
The Sky Pure Sect was trying to devour the Phantom Pupil Race.
Did they want to rule the world's cultivation world?
That was probably not their true motive. Otherwise, why would they wait until now?
There would be a dark calamity every epoch. At that time, the world's dominator-level factions would be shaken by the storm. Some would be destroyed directly, while those that survived would be struggling at death's door.
However, the Sky Pure Sect was able to resist the dark torrent every time. At that time, they could easily control the entire cultivation world.
However, in reality, they did not do that.
This was also the reason why everyone believed that they represented justice and protected the world's order.
Was the truth really so?
Jun Wu Xie realized that there should be a deeper secret that no one knew about. That secret was their true motive for existing in this world!
…
The journey to the Southern Region Ancient City was long.
The high-grade carriage traveled in the sky for several days without stopping to rest.
During these days, Jun Wu Xie helped Concubine Ling suppress the Dark Fiendish Qi in her body.
He realized that the Dark Fiendish Qi was very similar to the Dark Force.
It could even be said that the Dark Fiendish Qi was actually a kind of dark matter derived from the Dark Force.
However, the Dark Fiendish Qi was not as terrifying as the Dark Force. It was afraid of weapon fire, while the Dark Force was not afraid of weapon fire.
Jun Wu Xie combined the weapon fire and the Sun Essence Fire to achieve excellent results.
Concubine Ling's Dark Fiendish Qi was injured and had no choice but to hide in a corner of her body.
He had wanted to help her deal with it once and for all, but he realized that it was very difficult to do so.
The Dark Fiendish Qi wanted to self-destruct when faced with extreme pressure, so he had no choice but to give up the chase.
Otherwise, given Concubine Ling's current condition, she would not be able to withstand such a terrifying impact.
She had been sealing her own power to prevent the Dark Fiendish Qi from growing stronger.
This time, taking advantage of the Dark Fiendish Qi's hiding, Jun Wu Xie's two types of Yang Flames to suppress and intimidate her, she had removed some of the seal and released some of her power, allowing her to return to the Grandmaster Realm.
She told Jun Wu Xie that her power could only be removed gradually as his weapon fire and the Sun Essence Fire grew stronger.
This was because when the seal was removed, the Dark Fiendish Qi would also become stronger as her power increased.
At a certain point, it would exceed the limits of Jun Wu Xie's suppression.
Unless his flames became stronger, she would not be able to continue removing the seal.
…
The Southern Region Ancient City was in sight.
After more than half a year, he was here again.
The city had not changed much.
After entering the city, they did not stop and went straight to the ancient teleportation array.
There was no one guarding the teleportation array here. No one was even using it.
When Jun Wu Xie and the others arrived at the teleportation array, it was empty. There was no one there.
There was a stone tablet beside the teleportation array, which indicated how to use the teleportation array.
He took a look and immediately understood why no one was using it.
The city connected to this array was at least as big as the Southern Region Ancient City. The cost of using it was extremely high.
It required mid-grade Spirit Crystals to activate it.
He drove the carriage into the teleportation array and threw in some mid-grade Spirit Crystals.
The runes under his feet lit up and gathered into a light screen in the air. The names of the cities appeared on it.
He chose the Eastern Wilderness Ancient City and received a notification that there was insufficient energy. Please continue to throw in Spirit Crystals.
He threw in a few dozen kilograms of mid-grade Spirit Crystals one by one. Only then was the teleportation array completely activated.
A blazing light enveloped them. The aura of space flowed and wrapped them up, disappearing.
It felt like only a few breaths' time.
They appeared in front of a majestic city.
There was a huge rune array under their feet. There was a city in front of them. There were mountains on both sides and behind them.
The scale of this city was beyond Jun Wu Xie's imagination.
It was too big and majestic.
The city walls were not very tall. They were only about 100 meters tall. They were not even as tall as the city walls of the Southern Region Ancient City.
However, it gave off the feeling of an eternal mountain ridge in front of them. It was thick and heavy.
The bluestone walls were covered with the marks of time. Deep rune arrays were engraved on them, making them indestructible and indestructible!
The area of the city was roughly estimated to be ten thousand miles wide!
There were many tall buildings in the city. The streets were wide and crisscrossed. There was a hubbub of voices on the streets. It was incomparably bustling.
"We're finally here."
Jun Wu Xie stared at it for a moment before driving into the city.
The guards at the city gate stood upright like javelins. They did not charge entry fees like the Southern Region Ancient City.
The Hunter's Guild headquarters was in this city. They managed the order of the entire city.
There were rows of shops on the streets. There were many hawkers selling a dazzling array of goods.
Along the way, one could hear the merchants shouting with all their might.
On the roadside and on the streets, one could also hear people talking in twos and threes.
Jun Wu Xie drove the carriage on the road. All sorts of voices entered his ears. He heard the most people talking about Xiao Tianming forcing him to fight and the Eternal Era Ancient Court sending him an invitation.
People seemed to be very happy about these two matters.
Along the way, his ears were about to grow calluses from listening to them.
He stopped the carriage and soared into the sky. He stood in the sky above the city and roared like a dragon!
"Xiao Tianming, I'm here. When are you coming out to meet your death?!"
His voice spread out like a tidal wave in the sky above the city, causing people's ears to ring.
On the street, the people who were discussing this matter all raised their heads and looked over in shock.
"That's … the War Saint's disciple, Jun Wu Xie?"
"Everyone said that he definitely wouldn't dare to come. His cultivation level is too low and he's no match for Xiao Tianming. I didn't expect him to come so soon!"
"This person is so domineering. He's shouting in public and wants Xiao Tianming to come out to meet his death?"
"Both of them are crazy. Let's see who will have the last laugh. Anyway, I don't think Jun Wu Xie will win."
"They're both prodigies of the current generation and have terrifying growth. Who's weaker than the other? The difference in cultivation level is fatal! "
...
Jun Wu Xie's voice could be heard from hundreds of miles away.
In an instant, it caused a huge commotion. The news spread like wildfire and soon spread throughout the entire Eastern Wilderness Ancient City.
