Not long after.
Luofu Holy Land.
The Luofu Holy Master was in seclusion, cultivating. Ever since entering the Southern Territory, the pressure facing his sect had greatly increased, and he sought to make further progress.
After all, the stronger one’s power under leisurely resources, the more one could obtain.
Before him was placed an ancient tome, tattered and torn, which contained a secret technique,
"The Luofu Technique? Haha, it indeed bears some resemblance to the ‘Immortal Realm Slaughter Decree’ from the Immortal Domain, what a pity, its grade is still too low.”
Suddenly, within the seclusion chamber of the Luofu Holy Master, a middle- aged man dressed in a coarse linen robe appeared. He casually picked up the ancient tome, skimmed through it, and then tossed it aside with a disdainful look in his eyes.
The Luofu Holy Master hurriedly opened his eyes, and upon seeing the middle- aged man who had appeared in the chamber at some unknown time, he was extremely shocked and exclaimed,
“Who are you?!”
At that moment, he was about to erupt with his cultivation power!But the man in black simply raised his hand, and instantly the Holy Master felt as though he was being crushed by a massive weight of ten thousand pounds, completely unable to catch his breath.
Too terrifying, with a mere gesture, he could make the Luofu Holy Master, a Supreme, unable to resist!
What kind of being was this?
The Luofu Holy Master’s face changed dramatically as he asked,
“Who are you, and why have you come here…?”
The middle-aged man just sneered and said,
“You needn’t ask who I am. Tell me, what is this so-called power in the Southern Territory that can deter everything?”
Upon hearing this, the Luofu Holy Master was even more startled.
This person of unknown origin, with a cultivation clearly far above that of a Supreme, might very well be an Immortal, and moreover, he was inquiring about the mysterious power of the Southern Territory…
Could it be that he was the instigator behind the destruction of the various Holy Lands?
The middle-aged man seemed to see through his thoughts and sneered,
“Do you wish to perish like those ant-like Holy Lands before, or would you rather obediently answer my question? You may choose.”
He had admitted it directly!
The complexion of the Luofu Holy Master turned extremely ugly in an instant.
He understood that neither he nor the entire Luofu Holy Land had the slightest capability to resist before this individual.
He could only say,
“I don’t know; we’ve never seen that mysterious power. Perhaps only the Taiyan Holy Land and the Ziyang Holy Land in the Southern Territory would know.”
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man in linen cloth pondered for a while, then suddenly smiled and said,
“The Taiyan Holy Land and Ziyang Holy Land, huh?”
"I have not wanted to startle the snake by beating the grass…”
Having said that, he looked at the Luofu Holy Master and asked,
“Do you wish to dominate the Southern Territory?”
Dominate the Southern Territory?!
The Luofu Holy Master was already shrewd; he instantly understood the man’s intentions!
This time the man’s visit to the Southern Territory was definitely for the purpose of finding that so-called
“power that could deter everything” in the Southern Territory!
However, he was wary himself and did not dare to go directly to Ziyang Holy Land and Taiyan Holy Land.
Therefore, he needed the Luofu Holy Land. Only with the Luofu Holy Land’s interference stirring the waters could he fish out the mysterious existence of the Southern Territory!
In that instant, the Luofu Holy Master’s heart flashed with hesitation!
But this hesitation was only momentary.
He recalled the words of Dugu Chenlu—the destroyer of the various Holy Lands was, at the very least, a True Immortal!
The one before him was very likely to be a True Immortal!
If he had the opportunity to serve a True Immortal, why would he not take it?
Back in the Central Province, the Luofu Holy Land had been so glorious, yet upon arriving in the Southern Territory, it had to be suppressed by the Taiyan Holy Land and the Ziyang Holy Land—how could he not feel stifled in his heart!
At this moment, he had made his decision. He knelt on the ground and said,
“I pay my respects to the master!”
The man in the linen clothed instantaneously smiled.
Meanwhile, at the Divine Sword Sect.
Sect Master Cao Yijian was at that moment practicing his swordsmanship!
Sword Qi whistled back and forth, capable of annihilating heaven and earth!
But in a haze, a middle-aged man in a linen garment suddenly stepped into his Sword Domain.
"Who are you?!”
Cao Yijian saw him and was shocked and alarmed.
He also concentrated numerous strands of Sword Qi, blasting them at the middle-aged man!
Anyone who suddenly barged in was surely an enemy rather than a friend.
Yet, his Sword Qi, at that instant, seemed to be solidified, utterly unable to be released!
"Stop struggling. In my presence, you’re no different from an ant in the woods,” said the man.
The middle-aged man snorted coldly.
Cao Yijian was sweating profusely and said,
“Who are you? What do you want to do?”
The middle-aged man indifferently replied,
“I’m borrowing the Divine Sword Sect for a bit of business.”
"What if I grant you everything in the Southern Territory, how about that?”
Upon hearing these words, Cao Yijian’s eyes instantly shot out a fervent glow!
Soon, a few days later.
"Taiyan Holy Land and Ziyang Holy Land invited us to the Southern Territory yet relegated us to barren lands, how could this be reasonable?!”
"My Divine Sword Sect will not submit, the Spiritual Soil of the world should be occupied by those with ability. By what right do the two Great Holy Lands monopolize the Southern Territory?”
In the Southern Territory, suddenly a voice spread throughout all the sects!
On that day, the Divine Sword Sect emerged in full force, launching a surprise attack on a major city in the Taiyan Holy Land, slaughtering all Taiyan disciples!
As soon as the news broke out, the entire Southern Territory was shaken.
"Has the Divine Sword Sect gone mad? How dare they provoke the Taiyan Holy Land like this?”
"No matter what, this is the Southern Territory. The power of the Taiyan Holy Land is far greater than that of the Divine Sword Sect; are they seeking death?”
“What has gotten into Cao Yijian?”
The whole world was shocked.
However, closely following this, another Great Holy Land made a statement:
"The Southern Territory belongs to the Xuantian Realm, not only to Taiyan Holy Land and Ziyang Holy Land. They should share all resources!”
"Taiyan Holy Land and Ziyang Holy Land need to show their sincerity within three days; otherwise, our sect will launch a Saint War!”
The Luofu Holy Master personally penned the declaration of war, sending it to the major forces currently in the Southern Territory!
With these words spoken, a monstrous wave was immediately set off throughout the Southern Territory!
Luofu Holy Land was one of the leading powers in Central Province, and now they were threatening with a Saint War!
"It’s only been a few days since their arrival in the Southern Territory, what on earth has happened? Why are Luofu Holy Land and Divine Sword Sect stirring up challenges?”
"Alas, where there are people, there is conflict. Now, the Southern Territory is the only Pure Land in the entire Xuantian Realm, and its resources are limited. The major forces are bound to compete!”
"What a pity for Taiyan Holy Land and Ziyang Holy Land, isn’t this akin to inviting wolves into one’s home?”
The entire Xuantian Realm was abuzz with discussions!
And at this moment.
In Taiyan Holy Land.
"Divine Sword Sect and Luofu Holy Land have gone too far!”
Saint Lord Lingchao’s face bore a trace of icy killing intent!
He was already enraged!
"We kindly allowed them to take refuge in the Southern Territory, and now they bite back at us, truly excessive!”
"Ungrateful wretches. An entire city of our people has been annihilated by the Divine Sword Sect. Saint Lord, we must launch a Saint War!”
"Yes, let’s teach them a lesson!”
Many elders were extremely angry. Their enormous city had been sneak- attacked and occupied by the Divine Sword Sect, and its defenders killed to the last man. This was a grave humiliation and a deep grudge!
Yuanyang Holy Lord’s complexion was also dark as he said:
"This matter, I fear, is not as simple as we think!”
"What do you mean?” Saint Lord Lingchao looked at him.
Yuanyang Holy Lord said,
“Neither Luofu Holy Master nor Cao Yijian is rash. Yet now they strike so brutally. I believe there must be a hidden story.”
"There might be some conspiracy at play!”
Hearing this, Saint Lord Lingchao also couldn’t help nodding, saying,
“Given the current circumstances, what should we do?”
Yuanyang Holy Lord said coldly,
“They want resources, don’t they? Let them come and take it themselves!”
"Additionally, we need to inform Senior Li about this matter in a timely manner!”
Saint Lord Lingchao said,
“If so, that’s very good!”
Then Taiyan Holy Land and Ziyang Holy Land spoke together:
"Divine Sword Sect and Luofu Holy Land want resources, do they? Taiyan Holy Land and Ziyang Holy Land will open our doors wide. Three days from now, we welcome you to come and discuss the division of resources!”
"Taiyan Holy Land and Ziyang Holy Land welcome all challengers!”
No sooner had these words been spoken than the clouds moved in all directions!
