“Get up!”
Qiu Shuzhen waved his hand and said.
“Sect Master, since the Sacred Ground has a new Virtual Realm expert, we should hold a large ceremony.”
“There is no rush for this. Now that I have ended my isolated cultivation, I have something important to do. We can hold the celebration when I’m done with that.”
“May I ask what are you going to do, exactly?”
They were curious.
What made the Sect Master end his isolated cultivation early? What was so important that he wanted to take care of it before the celebration?
What could it be?
Maybe he wanted to settle the conflicts in the Sacred Ground?
Several Elders turned back to stare at Elder Mu with smiles on their faces.
Finally!
The big show was coming.
They just didn’t expect that Qiu Shuzhen would be so impatient.
“Clan Xia at the Bailing Valley of Muguang Mountain killed six of our Elders and challenged the dignity of our Sacred Ground. I have decided that we’ll attack Clan Xia soon.”
“What? Six Elders, so… ”
“I’ll destroy Clan Xia!”
Everyone in the main hall was totally shocked by the news.
Six Elders were killed.
Wasn’t it only Elder Nang Gong, Bai Zu and Wu Ma?
So the three missing Elders in the Sacred Ground were also killed by the one from Clan Xia?
How was that possible?
All signs indicated that the three Elders had disappeared in the Sacred Ground.
If there had been a fight between Virtual Realm experts and half Virtual Realm experts, there would be an astronomical phenomenon.
Why didn’t they see anything?
Attacking Clan Xia at this moment seemed to be a little bit unusual and strange.
“Sect Master, will the Grand Ancestor help us attack Clan Xia?”
Elder Gong Shan asked.
“That is for sure! After all, the Virtual Realm expert at Clan Xia reached the Virtual Realm earlier than me. It is hard to say if I would be as strong as him. But with the help of the Grand Ancestor, we can ensure that nothing will go wrong.”
“Yes!”
“Clan Xia has always been a threat to us. As long as it is not destroyed, we won’t be able to live in peace,”
Qiu Shuzhen said aloud.
Destroying Clan Xia was only the first step, and the most important step.
The discussion in the main hall was over.
The entire Sacred Ground was engaged in the preparation.
In the major cities of the Honghai Sacred Land, many experts were called to form an extremely powerful legion.
The news spread out, and all Zhongzhou people in the Sacred Ground got excited.
“Another Virtual Realm expert has appeared in the Sacred Ground. Does it mean that we’re going to thrive?”
“Let’s see if those people in Nanzhou can ever raise their heads again. This time, we will first destroy their clans and then kill all their Virtual Realm experts. In no time, they will be our slaves!”
…
Clan Xia was holding a meeting with the Elders.
A dozen Elders stared at the old man kneeling on the ground.
They all gnashed their teeth in anger.
They were outraged.
“Xia Yun, Clan Xia has never treated you badly. And yet, you’ve turned to Honghai Sacred Ground, worked for them, and even murdered Clan Xia disciples.”
Just the day before yesterday, the Grand Elder had finally identified the traitor.
Unexpectedly, it was an important Elder of Clan Xia.
With much effort, he had worked with several other Elders to capture Xia Yun.
Faced with the mountain of evidence, Xia Yun had no choice but to admit his guilt.
The meeting today was Clan Xia’s court trial against him.
“Huh! Everything in the world is about gaining benefits! I just got caught for my bad luck.”
Kneeling on the ground, Xia Yun laughed.
The expression on his face didn’t show the slightest trace of remorse.
“For your own selfish interests, you betrayed Clan Xia. Lock this shameless son of a bitch in the death prison.”
“I think you’d better kill me now! It’ll only take me a couple of days to get out from the death prison.”
“Hey! Do you think you can escape so easily?”
“Why can’t I? Sect Master Qiu Shuzhen has already reached the Virtual Realm. And with the help of their Grand Ancestor, the Sacred Ground will defeat Clan Xia in just a few days. If you don’t kill me now, I’ll soon be free!”
Xia Yun squinted his eyes with smugness on his face.
“What?”
People in the main hall were shocked.
Qiu Shuzhen had actually reached the Virtual Realm?
How?
How could he, a junior, reach the Virtual Realm so quickly?
God was so unfair.
Is Xia Yun making up fake news to save himself?
“You’re about to die, but you’re still trying to lie to us.”
“You can send someone to check if it’s a lie or not. In addition, I have revealed everything about the Bailing Valley. Haha! If I die, you guys will be buried with me too!”
Xia Yun laughed out loud.
Why did he betray Clan Xia?
He used to complain that the best resources at Clan Xia were always given to the same few people.
Later, when he became an Elder, he knew that the resources at Clan Xia were quite limited. Because of that, Clan Xia could only afford to cultivate those who showed the most promise. This was they only way Clan Xia could prosper.
But at that time, he already had a connection with Qiu Shuzhen.
He couldn’t stop even if he wanted to.
With powerful resources, Qiu Shuzhen threw various kinds of threats and temptations at him. He lost himself into the abyss, step by step.
With a lot of resources, his cultivation soon caught up with and even surpassed others.
He knew he was right!
How could a small clan like Clan Xia stand up against the Honghai Sacred Ground?
It would be destroyed sooner or later.
He would rather think about his own interests.
The more he thought like this, the more he turned to Qiu Shuzhen.
At first, he felt guilty for betraying the interests of Clan Xia.
But now, he was fighting for the survival of his own offspring.
“You son of a bitch!”
“Elder, there is an urgent message!”
Just at that moment, Liu Yu rushed in.
The crowd turned around.
They saw Liu Yu covered in blood and looking anxious.
“Liu Yu, what happened…”
“Elder, we’re in trouble now. Qiu Shuzhen has reached the Virtual Realm. He is leading all the experts of the Honghai Sacred Ground to attack us. He wants to destroy Clan Xia.”
Liu Yu entered the hall, ignoring the injuries on his body and kneeling on the ground on one knee.
“Liu Yu, are you sure?”
“Yes! The news is all over Zhongzhou. Once I received the news, I had to fight all the way back here.”
Liu Yu told the news he heard in Zhongzhou in detail.
In the main hall, everyone’s expression changed again.
It seemed that Xia Yun was telling the truth.
“The people of Zhongzhou are really malignant. They want people in Nanzhou to die. I’ll fight till the end to not let them get away with it.”
The main hall of Clan Xia was filled with indignation.
“Haha! You are just ants trying to shake a giant tree!”
An unpleasant voice rang out in the main hall.
The crowd turned around and stared at Xia Yun.
They almost forgot about this traitor.
“What are you staring at me for? You guys might as well surrender! There are two Virtual Realm masters and countless experts in the army of the Sacred Ground. In addition, they know everything about the Bailing Valley. You have no chance of winning! Ha ha!”
“Don’t stop me. I’ll kill this son of a bitch today!”
“Do you dare to kill me? If you kill me, you won’t have the slightest possibility of negotiating with the Sacred Ground. Keep me, and I can ask them to let you survive.”
“You bastard! Tell me, what other information about our clan did you sell to Qiu Shuzhen!”
The Grand Elder was seething with rage.
“How were you able to catch me the day before yesterday? It wasn’t because you noticed me when I was delivering the letter. The last secrets about the clan had already been sent out the day before yesterday.”
“You traitor!”
One of the Elders spit blood in the main hall.
Another Elder fainted on the ground.
Swish!
The Grand Elder pointed his sword at Xia Yun.
His hand was trembling!
He gritted his teeth even as he was trembling with anger.
“Haha! You can die if you want, but leave a way out for your own clan! The end of Clan Xia is inevitable. Think about the future generations. I can keep them all alive. Haha! Come on! Kill me!”
Xia Yun laughed wildly.
The Grand Elder’s long sword continued to point at Xia Yun.
For a while, each Elder’s face was like the constantly changing clouds in the sky.
They were furious!
They hated Xia Yun so much that they wanted skin him, eat his flesh, and drink his blood.
But Xia Yun was right!
The disaster was inevitable, but what about the rest of Clan Xia?
They were all innocent.
It was sad.
“Haha! What I like the most is this situation. You hate me and want to kill me, but you can’t.”
When Xia Yun saw the expressions of the Elders, he was so sure of himself that he became even more arrogant.
