Twenty years ago, the pawns that the Gu Clan had planted in the Eight Barren Ten Regions had made their move. They had almost wiped out the Guardians in one night. Only a few of them had managed to escape.
Because of this, the Son of Fate, Xiao Yang, was born with a grudge.
That was why Gu Changge had asked his clan about the cause and effect of what had happened twenty years ago.
It had something to do with the Deserted World before the Eight Barren Ten Regions had been born. At that time, the Gu Clan had a subsidiary clan called the Bone Clan. They were extremely powerful and were well-known in the Upper World.
However, they had made a huge mistake and were banished to the Deserted World.
Because of this, the Bone Clan had always wanted to leave the Deserted World and return to the Upper World. The previous battles between the Upper World and the Eight Barren Ten Regions had given them the opportunity.
Because of this, the Gu Clan had reached an agreement with the Bone Clan. They agreed to remove their sins and allow the Bone Clan to return to the Upper World.
Then, the Gu Clan had planted the entire Bone Clan in the Eight Barren Ten Regions as a hidden pawn. They could play an unimaginable role in crucial times.
Now, the Bone Clan had taken over the White Bone Region. Although they were few in number, they had a powerful ancestor who had lived for a long time. No one dared to provoke him.
This time, Gu Changge planned to use this hidden chess piece to see if she could eradicate the last Guardian bloodline and eliminate the root of the problem.
"Twenty years ago, the Bone Clan almost wiped them out. It seems that they have some tricks up their sleeves."
Gu Changge left the Sky Deer City alone and headed to the White Bone Region. Other than Ah Da, no one followed him.
With his current strength, following too many people would not be of any use.
Gu Changge let the Heavenly Deer Mystic Fairy stay in the Sky Deer City because of her identity. She was familiar with the Upper World and could help Gu Changge deal with the captives.
There were ten regions in the Eight Barren Ten Regions. The largest regions were the Yunze Region and the Chiliao Region.
Other than that, the other six regions were smaller.
As for the Eight Barren Ten Regions, it was very desolate. It was shrouded in miasma and chaotic fog. There were many mountains, rivers, and lakes. Many powerful beasts lived there as well as a few human tribes.
As for the Wasteland Master of the Eight Barrens, his strength was extremely terrifying and his cultivation was unfathomable.
After all, they needed to intimidate all the living beings in the entire wasteland. Some of the ferocious beasts had extremely long lifespans.
Although its intelligence was not high, it had accumulated an extremely deep and terrifying cultivation base.
The Overlords of the Eight Great Desolates did not participate in the battle against the Upper Realm.
However, there were still a few of them who had been to Celestial Deer City and witnessed the terror of the Upper Realm's army.
Then, they left Sky Deer City and returned to their own territories.
Compared to the ten great regions, the flames of war in the Eight Great Desolates were clearly much less.
In the eyes of many orthodoxies in the Upper Realm, the threat of the Eight Great Wilderness was not as deep as that of the Ten Major Domains.
If one were to look at it from a high altitude, they would discover that the Eight Desolates and Ten Regions looked more like a complete continent that had been broken into several pieces and separated from each other.
However, the size of each domain was over ten million miles, and some even reached hundreds of millions of miles.
Now, war was breaking out everywhere. The great army of the higher realms could be seen almost everywhere, slaughtering their way to various parts of the Eight Desolate Ten Regions.
"According to the message Master left for me, the Great Mountain Lord should be somewhere in the Great Desolation …"
At this moment, in one of the desolates in the Eight Great Wilderness.
In the towering desolates where the borders could not be seen, ancient trees towered into the sky. The miasma was thick, and the vines were tall. Xiao Yang, Gu Wudi, and the others were hurrying along.
However, both of them looked rather tired.
Although both of them had a lot of enmity before, after some things had happened, Xiao Yang's attitude towards Gu Wudi had obviously softened.
Especially when they encountered a powerful Venerable level beast on the way, and it was Gu Wudi who saved him.
This made Xiao Yang feel conflicted, and he felt that Gu Wudi had also changed.
This time, after the destruction of the Nine Great Mountains and the uncertain fate of the Third Mountain Lord, he had matured a lot. He was no longer as cowardly and opinionated as before.
This time, other than the two of them, the other large clans in the Eight Desolate Ten Regions had also sent many powerhouses to follow them and search for the Great Mountain Lord.
This was already the third month since they left Celestial Deer City.
Along the way, they had traversed mountains and rivers and searched many places before finally locking onto this place. They felt that the Great Mountain Lord should be here.
A figure like the Great Mountain Lord was elusive. He had long stopped cultivating in the Nine Great Mountains. After giving the Nine Mountains Immortal Seal to them, he said that he was going into seclusion, but in reality, he was traveling the world.
Now that the Nine Great Mountains had been destroyed, and even Celestial Deer City had been destroyed, Xiao Yang's heart was heavy.
The only thing he could do now was to find the Second Mountain Lord and ask about his family.
Otherwise, the entire Eight Desolate Ten Regions would fall.
"Celestial Deer City has been destroyed, and the Upper World's army has swept through the Eight Desolate Ten Regions. Many places are in chaos. The war has brought disaster."
"And we can't do anything about it."
The few powerhouses behind Xiao Yang and Gu Wudi sighed.
They did not expect that the Great Mountain Lord who had followed them to search for the Nine Great Mountains would let them escape.
The Eight Great Wilderness had become a relatively peaceful place.
During this time, they had heard that many living beings and cultivators had died tragically in Celestial Deer City.
Although those who surrendered could survive, their fates in the future would definitely not be good.
Especially when they heard that many clans did not care about Celestial Deer City and abandoned the city in the end. Even the Four Great War God Clans had chosen to surrender in front of everyone. It was a disgrace.
Previously, they had said that they were righteous and that they were not afraid of death. In the end, when the time came, they were terrified and did not even dare to resist.
This made many people who heard the news angry, sad, and in disbelief. This was the true face of those ancient clans.
If not for the fact that the destruction of Celestial Deer City would threaten their territory, they would not even care, let alone send an army to help.
"It's useless to talk about this now."
She begged for fresh flowers.
"The most important thing is to find the Great Mountain Lord. His cultivation is unparalleled. He will definitely have a way."
Gu Wudi frowned when he heard the conversation behind him. He seemed to be dissatisfied.
"The Daoist is right. It seems that the only way now is to find the Great Mountain Lord …"
Hearing this, everyone's body shook, and hope appeared in their eyes.
Yes, they still had a way, and that was to find the Great Mountain Lord of the Nine Mountains.
The Great Mountain Lord's origin was very ancient. It was said that he had existed for even longer than the Eight Wastelands Ten Regions.
If even he could not find a way, then the Eight Wastelands Ten Regions were truly hopeless.
Xiao Yang nodded and his eyes shone with hope.
Buzz!
But at this moment, he suddenly felt something warm in his arms.
It was a very simple jade pendant. It did not even have any markings. It was simple and natural, and it glowed with light.
"This is something that Master gave me before I left."
..... 0 ...
"He said that as long as we get close to the Great Mountain Lord, this jade pendant will light up and respond."
Xiao Yang's heart trembled, and he was pleasantly surprised.
He did not think that he would be so lucky to see the jade pendant light up in such a short time.
Didn't that mean that the Great Mountain Master's tracks were nearby, and not far from them?
Thinking of this, Xiao Yang could not help but feel excited.
Noticing this, Gu Wudi's eyes flashed. The others were also shocked and asked, "Could it be that the Great Mountain Lord's place of seclusion is nearby?"
Xiao Yang nodded. "That should be right. This is the jade pendant that Master gave me. He said that it has the Great Mountain Lord's aura. When we get close to him, it will respond."
However, the Eight Wastelands were millions of miles away. He was not sure how close this distance was, so he could only judge based on the light of the jade pendant.
Then, they quickened their pace and headed deeper into the wastelands. The many ferocious beasts could not stop them.
Half a month later, in the depths of the wastelands, there were mountains and lakes embedded in the ground. There were streams flowing like jade ribbons, and colorful mist lingered in the air.
There were also some golden fields and houses, crisscrossing ravines, and it was like a paradise.
The scene here shocked Xiao Yang, Gu Wudi, and the others.
This did not look like a big tribe, but there was a spiritual aura. It was completely different from the tribes they had encountered on the way.
Beside the slow stream, they even saw a few beautiful, fair-skinned women rolling up their sleeves and messing with their clothes.
"It should be. The Great Mountain Lord must be here."
"The people here have spirituality. Although they have not cultivated, their Qi and blood are much stronger than ordinary people."
Xiao Yang took out the jade pendant, secretly excited. He felt that his many days of hard work had not been in vain. Ordinary.
