…
Just as Fang Zhengzhi and Ping Yang were discussing the “world affair” in the small cave, Ling Xiao Mountain, the center of humankind, was also in the midst of a debate.
“This must be a trap, it must be a trap set by Yun Qingwu. Her intention is to lure us over and kill us all at one go!” A voice was heard in the hall of the Ling Xiao Mountain.
This voice was soon acknowledged by the rest of the crowd. After all, this legend emerged too quickly and too coincidentally.
It was impossible for a so-called “Source of God” and a fruit that could allow one to become God directly to appear out of nowhere at such a critical point in time.
“What if it’s real?” Another voice was heard. It was not loud but it caused the crowd to turn silent.
Yes, although this legend emerged too coincidentally, the content was what the humankind had dreamt about.
Most importantly…
Humankind had already been forced to a “dead end”.
Three areas of the Holy Region were invaded by the Monster Race and Demon Race, and no disciples dared to live in the Yin Yang Hall now.
Except for the Ling Yun Tower, the Five Sects of the Holy Region and the major and minor sects were all congregated on the Ling Xiao Mountain.
How could they put up with such a life!
They were unwilling to accept it!
They were like a man in the desert who saw an oasis. Even though it may be a mirage, would that stop them from advancing further?
He would definitely die if he did not take action but he had the chance to survive if he did.
Right now, that was precisely the situation humankind was in. Since they were already desperate, how could they give up on the hope before their eyes?
“I suggest for us to take a look.” One of the leaders of the sect stood up. He was not from a major sect, in fact, in the Human Alliance, he was allocated to the Fu Yi troop and became a mere General.
Although the people he ruled over were still the members of his sect, he could no longer call himself the leader of the sect given his current status.
How would a sect leader who had established his own sect be willing to be controlled and suppressed by others?
It was a form of ambition!
Although ambitions were known to be built upon one’s capabilities, why couldn’t one have a little bit of hope if they were lacking in their capabilities?
Find the Source of God, eat the fruit inside it, become the God that ruled the world and stand on the peak of the world.
That was everyone’s dream.
“Yes, what’s wrong with taking a look? It’s better than doing nothing over here!”
“Yes yes yes, why should we be afraid if we make sufficient preparation? Even if there was something amiss, we could still escape!”
“Vice Alliance Leader Mu must be familiar with the Heaven Dao Pavilion, how would anything bad happen in the territory of Heaven Dao Pavilion?”
“Precisely, furthermore, didn’t Vice Alliance Leader Mu enter the wrecked Black Stone Palace before? There were indeed inscriptions on tablets there, perhaps that included the records of the Source of God, right? Vice Alliance Leader Mu!”
The gazes of the crowd quickly fell upon Pavilion Master Mu Qingfeng. After all, it used to be the territory of the Heaven Dao Pavilion and Mu Qingfeng had entered the Black Stone Palace before.
“It is really dangerous in the Black Stone Palace!” Mu Qingfeng’s expression changed when he felt the gazes fall upon him.
“How dangerous?” asked the surrounding people.
“Actually, I only explored a small part of the palace, moreover… I had Guyan assisting beside me then. As for the deepest part of the palace…”
“What’s wrong with that?”
“I did not enter the deepest part of the palace. Apart from traps, there was a special force that could make one develop an illusion…”
“Illusion?!” The surrounding people fell silent as they heard this. How could they possibly defense against the special force that Mu Qingfeng couldn’t?
“I feel that the most dangerous place is the place where secrets may be hidden. Perhaps the legend is real, the Source of God is in the wrecked Black Stone Palace!” said the sect leader who made the first comment earlier on, showing no sense of fear.
“That makes sense!”
“It is not possible for it to be not dangerous!”
“That’s right. If any of you are afraid, you can choose to not go. Anyway, I am determined the go and take a look. Perhaps that is the last hope for humankind!”
The surrounding people nodded.
“Dao Xin, what do you think?” Dao Hun, who was sitting in the middle of the hall looked at the agitated sect leaders and disciples before turning to Dao Xin who was beside him and asked softly.
“It’s a trap,” said Dao Xin softly.
“Trap?! Then we…”
“Should go!” Dao Xin said before Dao Hun could continue.
“Why do we still go despite knowing that it’s a trap?” Dao Hun could not understand.
Instead of answering Dao Hun’s question, Dao Xin frowned slightly and pointed at the agitated sect leaders and disciples beneath.
“Understood.” Dao Hun quickly understood the reason. The scene in front of them was not one that could be stopped as he wished even though he was the Alliance Leader.
However, since he had known that it was a trap, Dao Hun had no intention to take the risk himself. Instead, he started to think of a plan.
At this moment, a sound was heard outside the palace/hall(?).
“Shadow Sect Leader, Wu Yuer is here!”
“Wu Yuer?!”
“Didn’t she go to the Great Xia Dynasty?”
“Why is she on the Ling Xiao Mountain?”
Everyone was shocked when they saw the figure who was wearing a black dress enter the hall.
However, Wu Yuer was the Sect leader of the Shadow Sect and since the Shadow Sect had also taken the position of the Deputy Mashal of the Ling Yun troops, her status was not low in the Human Alliance.
“Long time no see, Sect leader Wu!”
“That’s right, Sect Leader Wu is still as charming as ever!”
“What’s the matter, Sect Leader Wu, for you to make a trip personally to the Ling Xiao Mountain?”
The crowd stood up and welcomed Wu Yuer. However, nobody dared to get too close to her as after all, she was a rose with thorns.
“I’m here to tell everyone that the Monster Kings who have guarded in the Great Swamp are now rushing to the Heaven Dao Pavilion.” Wu Yuer said softly as she walked quickly to the center of the hall and took a quick glance at Yan Qianli and Heavenly Oasis Saint.
However, her gaze fell very quickly on a figure beside Dao Xin, a figure who was wearing traditional Chinese clothing.
Yan Xiu remained nonchalant.
“Sect Leader Wu, you mean we should also start heading to the Heaven Dao Pavilion?” Dao Hun began to speak after hearing Wu Yuer’s words.
“Yes.” Wu Yuer nodded.
“Did it not cross Sect Leader Wu’s mind that this could be a trap?” Dao Hun’s haze sharpened after a moment of silence.
“Haha…” Wu Yuer laughed with a flash of allure. She took a quick scan of the surroundings and said, “Of course this is a trap! Furthermore, it is a trap set by the Sagely Battle God Meng Tian in order to lure Yun Qingwu out of the Great Swamp!”
“Trap?!”
“A trap set by Meng Tian!”
“Hold on, what did you say, Sect Leader Wu, Meng Tian set a trap to lure Yun Qingwu out of the Great Swamp? But Meng Tian just killed a few disciples at the foot of the Ling Xiao Mountain a few days ago!”
“Yes, what’s going on?”
Wu Yuer’s sentence made Dao Hun, as well as the surrounding disciples and leaders of the various sects, confused.
“Are you referring to Meng Tian who appeared at the foot of the Ling Xiao Mountain a few days ago?” Wu Yuer asked after hearing the gasps of
“Yes.”
“That Meng Tian, haha… he was a fake one sent by Yun Qingwu.” ”
“Fake? How are you so certain, Sect Leader Wu?”
“That was because the real Sagely Battle God Meng Tian was with me at that time. How could he possibly double and appear at the foot of the Ling Xiao Mountain?”
“Sagely Battle God was with you? What on earth is happening? So, Sect Leader Wu met Meng Tian before? Also, how are you sure that the Meng Tian who was with you was the real Meng Tian?” The crowd were extremely suspicious because Wu Yuer’s words were too shocking.
“There’s no need for evidence because Meng Tian was holding on to Demon Lord then. That was when he told me about the plan too.”
“Meng Tian told Sect Leader Wu personally?”
“Yes.” Wu Yuer nodded.
“Then… Can I ask Sect Leader Wu a question, have you seen Meng Tian’s real appearance?” One of the sect leaders asked with a cold gaze.
“Hahaha, do you think I am a fool?”
“Why did you say that, Sect Leader Wu?”
“Even if you don’t believe what I said, you should believe this?” Wu Yuer took out something wrapped in black cloth as she said.
A round object rolled onto the ground and the cloth fell apart, revealing a head that had a horn and was covered in black scales.
“What… What is this?!” The expressions on the surrounding people completely changed when they saw the head because they had never seen such a ferocious beast before.
“Lin Ji!”
“Is it… Lin Ji?! The Godly State expert that rampaged through the Southern Region?!”
“Yes, it’s her head!” Wu Yuer nodded and looked at Dao Hun. “This is indeed a trap, a trap that the Sagely Battle God Meng Tian made to lure Yun Qingwu out of the Great Swamp. However, this trap was built upon a real legend, in other words, the Source of God exists and is probably in the wrecked Black Stone Palace beneath the Heaven Dao Pavilion. So now… who else still don’t believe?”
