Chapter 2566: Heading to the Ancient Battlefield (1/2)

After getting to the ancient battlefield, obtaining the Black Corpse Holy Emperor’s inheritance, and advancing to the Second Heaven True Saint in one go, Huang Xiaolong planned to venture into the Alien Lands.

Despite the Holy World’s seven Primal Ancestors, the Heavenly Master, Tyrant Chu, Lord Long, Elder Crow, Xue Lingyun, Mo Cangli, and the Holy Race’s first generation patriarch Jian Duzun, had formed an alliance, they weren’t able to completely eradicate the Devil Palace and Ghost Talisman Holy Ground at the moment.

But if Huang Xiaolong could get support from the Alien Lands’ forces, the whole situation would be different. There wouldn’t be any less Primal Ancestor Realm experts amongst the top forces on the Alien Lands.

The number of Primal Ancestor experts in the Alien Lands were not less than the Holy World’s side.

Seven Primal Ancestors couldn’t eradicate the Devil Palace and Ghost Talisman Holy Ground, but what about forty Primal Ancestors? Or fifty? What about sixty or even seventy Primal Ancestors?

“Manor Lord, the Bright Scale Holy Ground and Nine Treasures Holy Ground’s patriarchs are outside seeking an audience with you, as they want to join the Blue Dragon Manor.” a burly middle-aged man that exuded a robust wild aura respectfully approached Huang Xiaolong from the back and reported.

This middle-aged man was called Yuan Zhan, the patriarch of Torrent Origin Holy Ground, who was a Ninth Heaven True Saint expert. After swearing allegiance to Huang Xiaolong, he was loyal and devoted, and Huang Xiaolong had promoted him as one of his right-hand men, letting him manage many important matters of the Blue Dragon Manor with Di Huai.

“I know,” Huang Xiaolong responded and nodded slightly before adding, “You go out first.”

“Yes, Manor Lord.” Yuan Zhan respectfully withdrew.

Although Huang Xiaolong was still a Holy Prince of the Holy Heavens organisation, all the forces that had submitted to Huang Xiaolong referred to Huang Xiaolong as Manor Lord instead of Your Highness.

A while later, Huang Xiaolong went out to meet with the Bright Scale Holy Ground and Nine Treasures Holy Ground’s patriarchs. In the last decade, countless holy grounds and ancient races’ patriarchs had come to plead Huang Xiaolong to allow them to join the Blue Dragon Manor. After all, some of these holy grounds and ancient races could possibly be spies sent by the Devil Palace.

Hence, Huang Xiaolong would run a detailed background check on each of them.

Moreover, during this decade, Huang Xiaolong had indeed found more than a few spies, and there were more than thirty of them to be precise.

Huang Xiaolong didn’t have any mercy towards these thirty-plus spies who were sent by the Devil Palace or Ghost Talisman Holy Ground. All of them were devoured and refined as a warning to the Devil Palace and Ghost Talisman Holy Ground for trying to encroach inside the Blue Dragon Manor.

After meeting the Bright Scale Holy Ground and Nine Treasures Holy Ground’s patriarchs, Huang Xiaolong made a trip to the Primal Ancestor’s space.

“You want to go to the ancient battlefield?” The four Primal Ancestors were astonished hearing Huang Xiaolong’s plans to head to the ancient battlefield.

Huang Xiaolong nodded.

“In the last one hundred years, the ancient battlefield’s situation has not been very stable. More Alien Lands’ cultivators have been crossing the barrier into the ancient battlefield, therefore, the current ancient battlefield is many times more dangerous than before!” Lord Long added, “If there is nothing special, it’s better you don’t go.”

“That’s right,” The Heavenly Master agreed. “The ancient battlefield’s barrier has grown increasingly unstable. More and more Alien Lands’ cultivators are entering the ancient battlefield, and there might even be peak late-Ninth Heaven True Saint experts.”

The Heavenly Master went on seriously, “If it is not necessary, it’s better not to go to the ancient battlefield. Moreover, in less than a hundred years, the barrier would disappear. At that time, there might be a large-scale war between us and the Alien Lands.”

A barrier similar to a restriction had always enveloped the ancient battlefield region, and this barrier indirectly separated the Alien Lands and Holy World. Thus the Holy World and Alien Lands were able to maintain a certain degree of peace.

But this barrier would become unstable every few billion years or ten billion years, and at certain times the barrier would completely disappear temporarily. When the barrier disappeared, the Alien Lands’ native cultivators would lead an army into the Holy World territory, triggering the large- scale war between the Holy World and Alien Lands.

Now, the ancient battlefield’s barrier had become unstable again.

Listening to his four masters’ sincere persuasion, Huang Xiaolong did not conceal and told them about the Black Corpse Holy Emperor’s inheritance.

After hearing that Huang Xiaolong intended to go to the ancient battlefield to look for the Black Corpse Holy Emperor’s inheritance, all four Primal Ancestors were genuinely surprised.
